Before the benediction, a thousand candles will be lighted in this beautiful Service. R. H. Parr, Minister In Charts. H. Riddells, Organist. An impressive and beautiful ser­ vice took place at Trinity United Church on Sunday morning, when the new Memorial Organ was dedi­ cated in memory of those of the church who have gone on. Rev. R. H. Parr and Rev. R. A. Facey conducted the service. In outlining the steps which led to the purchase of the organ, Mr. Parr paid tribute to the generous response of the congregation. He said that he with others, could look forward to the years of pleasure and blessings to come through the gift dedicated at this time. The harp accompaniment is to be added to the organ later and after the war, when they can be obtained, chimes will be installed to be broad­ cast from the tower. A telegram of congratulation from the president of the London Conference, commen­ ding and thanking the members of Trinity on their achievement, was read by Mr. Parr. The organ was presented to the church by Miss -Marion Robinson and Miss Jean Coventry, members who have lost loved ones during the past year and was accepted for the church by Mr. P. V. L. Pedolin of the music committee and Dr. H. B. McKay of the session. Both ex­ pressed appreciation for the splendid gift. Mr. Ross Bigham of the music committee, also spoke briefly, voic­ ing sincere thanks to all who had assisted in any way to make the gift possible. The service of dedication was led by Rev. Mr. Parr, with the congre­ gation making the responses. This part of the service was closed with the singing of “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow,” the organ being used for the first time. Two fine anthems, “The Heavens are Telling," from “The Creation,” with trio part taken by Mrs. H. F. Uren, Harry Watson and James Miller and “Expectans E^pectavi", (Sir Charles Wood), were given by the choir, and a lovely vocaF solo, “The Lord is My light,” by Mrs. George Smith. The music was under the direction of the church organist, Mr. Harold Riddels, who presided at tho piano and later the new orgarf for the service. A feature of interest in connect­ ion with the service w$s the bap­ tism of four infants, with Mr. Parr and Mr. Facey officiating. These (were David John Edwards, Judith Eleanor Pole, David Alfred Caffyn and Gwendolyn Carol Anne Parr. At Monday night’s meeting of the Town Council, By-Law No. 1143 was passed in committee of the whole without amendment, "That a juvenile court be established in the county of Oxford and the proper steps be taken with the county and the City of Woodstock,” and "that the mayor and clerk be authorized to execute an agreement between The County of Oxford and the Town of Ingersoll regarding the shelter,” were embodied in this motion. Mayor Daniel explained that this agreement had to be renewed every five years and at this time the major change was that if repairs to the amount of $1000 wer necessary the executive have to inform the town council concerning these. Formerly, the amount specified was $500, but with conditions existing at present, this amount .was held as too low and caused extra contacts and de­ lays. A communication recej/ed from the Business Men’s Association re­ quested that the mayor proclaim Monday, December 27th as Boxing Day, a civic holiday. The report of the fire, .water and ligl.t committee recommended this and the resolu­ tion was adopted. On motion of Councillors Bower and Morrison, the Ingersoll Pipe Band was granted $100 to help de­ fray expenses for the year 1943. Councillor Bower stated that he in­ tended to bring this matter up at the last committee meeting but that It had been overlooked. He paid tribute to the band for the support they had given on many civic occas­ ions and stated that they have ex­ penses and repairs on uniforms, in­ struments and equipment Mrs. W. R. Veale, was hostess to the Women’s Music Club at her home on Thames street south last Wednesday afternoon. Cheery grate fires in the living room and sun­ room, evergreens in shiny copper bowls and a lighted Christinas tree made a festive setting for the Christmas program presented by members of the club. Carols were sung and Henry Van Dyke’s beauti­ ful story of “The Other Wise Man”, was delightfully told by Mrs. Ross Kilgour, who was a guest for the afternoon. At the close of the program, the ladies gathered informally in the dining-room and sunroom where Mrs. Veale, assisted by Mrs. A. Sel­ don, Mrs. W. J. Tune, Mrs. H. G. Furlong and Mrs. Bowes, served delicious refreshments. The beauti­ fully appointed table was served with a Madeira cloth and a centre­ piece of green spruce and cones az.d tall candles in copper holders.

Careful instructions regarding drawn poultry are set out in the order governing prices of dressed i poultry, W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative for the 1 Western Ontario region, pointed out J answering complaints that many , birds are being sold for prices per­ mitted for drawn dressed poultry : although the feet or the head have been left on.

How To Get 90%Grade A Egg»Milk and green feed are two ofthe constituent* of the poultry feedgiven by a successful commercial egg producer. Ninety per cent of the eggs laid by his hens are Grade A all the year round. Here are his methods:—A supply of crushed oatfl, wheat, and barley is kept constantly before the birds in hoppers, also a commericial poultry concentrate. Cod liver oil is poured over the whole grain in quantities of about two ounces to 100 birds and fed at night. Skimmilk to the amount of 10 to 20 pounds per 100 birds, or semi-solid buttermilk, two pounds per 100 birds is fed daily. Green feed as much as the birds will eat of second or third cut al­ falfa or clover hay is fed by the forkful on the litter. This, along with the feeding of mangtl* or tor-nips keep* the birds busy andi;<dthy. The birds do not t it thealfalfa but the coarse •toeka theyleave make excellent litter. It doe*not dampen u quickly «* straw.Barns full of hay suitable for pouL try feeding are the moat significant thing about thia producer's plant. He has had do bare-backed or feath­ er-pulling birds in hi* flock for years. He tuw-« the commercial poul­ try concentrate to offset shortage* in milk, and the quantities given to the birds vary directly in .uCcord- ance with the supply of milML rhCOLAC FOR A MILD.

E. A. Seldon, Clerk. on all A certain twelve-year-old was about to be caned for some trivia! offence. The headmaster asked him how he preferred to receive his pun­ ishment "Well, sir,” said the boy quickly, “if you please. I’d like the Greek style of penmanship.” “What on earth <k you mean?” asked the master. “Please sir, the upstrokes heavy and the downstrokes light” said the bright lad. thy’re rationing shoes.” Wit—"Yea everything for de­ fense—nothing for defeat. Breeding Control*Egg ProductionApart from the important factorof careful selection of only the most vigorous and well matured ' birds in the flock, the inherited abil­ ity to produce large numbers of eggs is probably of equal or even more importance, says W. T. Scott, Head Poultryman, Dominion Exper­ imental Station, Harrow, Ont. Quality is of outstanding import- tance in its relation to profits. All the efforts expended in good feed­ ing, care and management or lavish expenditure on houses and appli­ ances can make nothing but a liabil­ ity if the hen that has not inherited the ability to lay large numbers of eggs. The poultryman or fanner who aims to make the most out of his Xens will carefully select for type and constitutional vigour and at the same time pay attention to the pre­ vious history of egg production in the flock. The fruits of the existing know­ ledge governing the inheritance of egg production and other characters ire the result of years of careful scientific study and practice and the importance of good breeding cannot be ignored. Improvement can follow only by sound judgment in selection of the fittest and the results from year to year can only be determined by an accurate record of progress. To the busy farmer, with his many and diverse occupations, the practice of pedigree breeding may not be possible; to the specialist it is essental. For the most profit to both, one is dependent upon the other. Assessor—"This goat will cost you another four dollars” Taxpayer—"How come?" ’ Assessor—"The law says that all property abutting on the street shall be taxes two dollars per front foot.” WE MUST HOLD THE UHE! On the home front the battle against inflation is now the most critical of all. The winning of this battle will contribute much to winning the war. It will contribute more thnn rtl else towards the solution of post-war prubj jfns. The purpose of Price Cont-o? is to prevent infla­ tion. Its purpose is to prorecr and nrtaintain a basic standard of living. * A higher money income will not be of any ad­ vantage if, because prices arjS going up, our money buys less and less. To win the battle against unemployment in the post-war period, we must first of all win the battle against inflation. Salaries and wages are a large element, often the largest element, in the cost of everything we buya If the Price Ceiling breaks down, in the long run all stand to lose. We must hold the line against inflation to assure victory in war. We must hold the line to provide a solid founda­ tion on,which, after the war, to build a greater an<a better Canada.

This num­ber is approximately half that oflast year so that more names arcexpected to be added in the nearfuture. Frank Cragg, chairman ofthe Christmas Tree project, stated that the Mie of trees had been very good and that about 100 75c trees yet remained to be sold. He thanked the members for their co-opcration and urged them to complete the sale of the .trees. "Star of God", and “Glorious Devon”, were rendered as vocal se­ lections by Jim Auld, accompanied by Austin Reid at the piano. Both these artists are members of the London Y’s Men’s Club. These numbers were greatly appreciated. Mr. Winslow in a most interest­ ing manner, told of the events con­ nected with the birth of Christ, the greatest subject in the world’s his­ tory. “Men have discussed thia event for 2,000 years," the speaker said. These events were prophesied hun­ dreds of years ahead in the Bible. The Bible also told of the crucifix­ ion before this was ever heard of or practised. His birth was heralded by a heavenly chorus, and by a star that turned from its course for two years and guided the Wise Men to the humble scene of His birth. The geneology of Christ was also described. It was prophesied that He would be born of the seed of David and in tracing this down, "the son of" appears consecutively for 77 names, which is considered to be a wonderful thing the speakei said. "Scientists can trace matter back so far to the first cause of life, which is God, the Creator. God does perform miracles — why shouldn’t he?" the speaker said. He suspends the laws of nature and works mir­ acles. Mr. Winslow stated that Christ came into the world in human form to reveal God to mankind. He came to live our life and to die our death —He was a Saviour—a life saver, to help us when we cannot help our­ selves and He comes to us in the hour of our greatest need. The speaker told of the rescue of Eddie Rickenbacker in this present war. when adrift on a raft he prayed for food and .water andthese were given to him. When hecame in sight of land he was insuch a weakened state that he couldnot paddle against the current, andRickenbacker himself says, "Aimsother than mine strengthened me topaddle to the coral island.” “Our airmen, sailors and soldiers are pray­ ing to God and you and I must do it if we are going to win this war,’’ Mr. Winslorw said. “Our only hope is to get back to God and the things of God. This is not a matter of church but of you and I” the speaker said. "Unto you is bom this day in the city of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord." "Why not try God and realize the real meaning of Christmas and re­ ceive the benefits from it that God intended there should be," Mr. Wins­ low concluded.

LIMITED W0ODSTOCK, ONTARIO O T T A W A WEEK BY WEEK — By Dean Wilson — UNUSUALLY INTERESTING PLANS There is a growing sense of ten­ sion now behind the scenes'along Parliament Hill as preparations are being made for the next session of Canada’s Parliament which will open on January 27. It is possible to per­ ceive how that the latest momentous events on the world scene in general and significant occurrences within this nation in particular are going to produce interesting effects or reper­ cussions when the legislators will meet in Ottawa in the coming unus­ ually important and history-making session. Indeed, if the Government should have in mind an appeal to the people at an earlier date than exccted, a suggestion of such inten­ tion may come forth .in its legisla­ tive programme. Moreover, in addi­ tion to the usual legislative proce­ dure of providing ways and means of carrying on this nation’s wartime affairs, its next legislative activities may bring forth some impressive and specific indications of the Government’s schemes for the post­ war period, particularly in regard to such widely discussed problems as reconstruction and rehabilitation or social security and public welfare, with broad hints having been heard already along Parliament Hill about the Government’s serious considera­ tion of these problems, including the latest hint of a scheme being sought to devise a plan for the grad­ ual, proper and orderly liquidation of obsolete and unnecessary war supplies or equipment so that this may be accomplished in the best in­ terest of the public and business. ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE The man-in-the-street throughout Canada will be surprised to learn fthat the Government of Canada’s revenue, except sales tax, from spirits, malt, liquors, and wines during the fiscal year of 1943 had reached a new top mark and it had amounted to tho almost unbelievable sum of $80,952,000 as against only $25,669,000 in the year 1939 when World War II had started with the Federal Government’s revenue being made up of excise duties, excise taxes and customs duties. POLITICAL ANXIETY An interesting sidelight in the comments heard now backstage along Parliament Hill on the present operations or standings of the two majbr political parties, Liberals and Progressive-Conservatives, is the steadily increasing] attention being given to the accomplishments of the C.C.F. party and other smaller par­ ties, though at the same time there is a continuously growing political competition arising between the two major parties. It is foreseen by ob­ servers that this situation may bring forth easily some unexpected and surprising developments In any com­ ing election on account of the com­ petition between these major par­ ties and good or bad publicity for the smaller parties since * third party or any other party could ben­ efit from any close splitting or div­ ision of public favour, especially in view of the prediction that at least three or even more candidates may be coming in a future test of public opinion in this nation. TITLES and CANADIANS On various occasions the question has.been raised about the revival of titles for Canadians worthy of such honours and this has been dis­ cussed lately. However, it must be pointed out at this time that quite a few years ago the Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa had recorded a desire that such titles should not be conferred upon Canadians in the future and this attitude had never been changed, with the insinuation that every attempt or effort in Par­ liament since that time to bring about a change of this attitude hav­ ing been unsuccessful in the past, though, of course, certain decora­ tions upon civilians or awards for military services have been allowed and made. WAR NEWS AND OIL There has been a strong tendency on the part of many men and wo­ men throughout Canada to expect immediate removal or easing up of controls or restrictions whenever the war news appeared to be brighter for the cause of the United Nations. As a result of the recent lessening of the submarine menace and other optimistic signs in this war, there has been a general expec­ tation that restrictions on motor oil consumption would be eased up in this cuntry but now none other than Canada’s oil controller, G. R. Cot- trelle, has come forth with the in­ formation that there will be no such happy event at this time for domes­ tic users of gasoline, especially on account of the crude oil supply situ­ ation in this ebuntry and the huge oil requirements of the armed ser­ vices. PIGS and POLITICS When it had been announced that Canada's new bacon contract with Britain involved a programme to send 675,000,000 pounds of bacon this year or 900,000,000 pounds in the next two years, it had been hin­ ted that it had not been for more because it had been inadvisable to increase these exports due to the feed shortages in this country, with reports indicating that even the in­ crease of price from the old con­ tract of $19.77 for one hundred pounds grade Wiltshire side at sea­ board to the new price of $21.75 did not satisfy hog producers who had considered it more profitable now to deal in feed grains than hogs. However, the hog ^producers have an additional cause for con­ cern because a declaration has been made that in line with the advice of the British Ministry of Agriculture, there has been no justification for Canadian farmers to be asked to continue in such hog production at the level of last year until the end of tha war or out of tune with the ability of Britain to take such Can­ adian hog production after the war, As a British official has explained, it will be questionable if Britainwill be able to purchase such Can­ adian bacon production after this war on account of a possible lack of Canadian exchange in Britain, though this official has emphasized that Britain will want Canadian bacon. Naturally, these suggestions have caused much talk backstage along Parliament Hill about the un­ certainty of the markets in Britain for Canadian bacon after the war and political angles have begun to enter into these discussions so that sharp effects may be expected. It has been claimed that it has been true that Britain has desired to re­ ceive a? much Canadian bacon as possible during this war in order to provide its . present ration of four ounces a week for civilians and more for the armed services or war wor­ kers, but at the same time there has developed a view in this country that Canadian farmers must be warned and protected by the pos­ sible results after this war of a sud­ den discontinuation or reduction of demands for Canadian bacon from the British market for one reason or another, with Canada having been justified in looking after the future interests of its farmers in thia re­ spect just as much as Britain has been safeguarding the future of her agricultural interests. ’While the Canadian bacon contract with Brit­ ain for this year has been for 675,000,000 pounds to be sent there, yet the highest similar shipment* before this war to Britain were only for 192,000,000 pounds in 1937.— (Reproduction Prohibited.)

Under the fine direction of Sgt. A. D. Pudwell, organist and choir leader at St. Paul’s, and also con­ ductor of the Handel Choir, the choruses were magnificently given, the combined choirs forming a beau­ tifully balanced group. The solo parts were taken by Mrs. Robert Wark, contralto; Mrs. Irene Morris of London, soprano; Dquglas Martin, tenor, and Carl Edmonds, baritone and were all of outstanding quality. Previous to the presentation of the oratorio, Mr. Gerald Bales of Toronto, gave a short organ recital. Mr. Bales, now in the R.C.A-F., is in : civilian life organist and choir mas­ ter of Rosedale United Church, To- 1 ronto, and is considered to be the outstanding young pianist-onganist- composer of Canada. His program included a medley of several themes 1 from Tschackowsky’s fifth and sixth ' symphonies and “Romeo and Juliet”; ' Greig’s Nottumo”, and the Bach ; prelude and fugue in D Minor. Mr. ' Bale^ also ,was at the organ for 1 “The Messiah”, and his accompani- ' ment was a perfect background for 1 the choir and soloists. : Scrooge’s Christinas An Operetta Presented By St James’ Choirs The choirs of St. James’ Anglican Church presented the famous two- act operetta, “Scrooge’s Christmas”, in the parish hall, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings to large sized audiences, who were extended a welcome by the rector of the par­ ish, Rev. H. E. Merificld. The performances were given un­ der the direction of Mrs. Harold Wilson, who spared no efforts in making the presentation a success­ ful one. Great credit is also due the property committee ,who worked unceasingly to complete the realistic scenic effects including the outdoor scene, the interior of Scrooge’s place of business, his bedroom, and the final scene of the Crachitt fam­ ily gathered around the festive Christmas table. The costumes worn by the characters added great­ ly to the performances as did the musical numbers and sound effects. Each and everyone who took part are to be complimented on their splendid performance. Harold Wil­ son as Scrooge, portrayed this role to perfection, as did Harold Smith as Bob Crachitt, and Mrs. F. N. Horton as Mrs. Crachitt Charley Walker, organist of - the church, presided at the piano for the musical portions of the operetta. On Wednesday evening, between the acts, the audience sang several Christmas carols, and on Thursday evening, delightful vocal numbers were given by Kathleen Fordham, and splendid piano selections were rendered by Misses Mary Shelton and Janet Newman, members of the junior choir, and members of the junior and intermediate choirs ledin .the singing of lovely Christmas carols. Following the performance on Thursday evening, the; cast was en­ tertained in the ladies’ assembly room, where delicious refreshments were served by several ladies of the church. A happy social period was enjoyed, during which Rev. Mr. Merifield voiced appreciation to all who had assisted and Mrs. Harold Wilson expressed her thanks to all for their willing <?o-operation, as did Mr. Harry Allen, the rector’s war­ den, and Mr. Charles Walker.

Of interest is a summary- of- the agricultural production objectives for 1944, as drafted by the Domin­ ion-provincial’conference held at Ot­ tawa ^recently. They contemplate no change in wheat over the 17% mil­ lion atres of 1943. Coarse grains will be up 6% in oats, 1% in barley. Rye remains the same, but husking corn figures show an increase of 53%., No change in hay and clover, nearly 10 million acres. Rye, down half a million, or 13%. In the oil seed crops: flaxseed down 36%; sun­ flower seed, 50,000 acres up by 72%. All tobaccos have an increased objective, highest being burlcy, 53%. In the dairy products they figure no change in total milk; creamery butter down .3%, also cheese 7%. Eggs and poultry meats will have an upward trend. Fruits are all up, apples showing 24 % with 15 million bushels and leafy green vegetables increased 39%. Maple syrup, over 3 million gallons, is up 31%^4and honey .will be asked to give more.Volume. With 14 million pounds, sheep wool is asked to in­ crease by 3%. Canucks overseas arc certainly thinking of their return to civilian life. The study courses offered by the Canadian Legion Educational Services have had an enrolment of 36,338 men, with more than a thou­ sand a month currently signing up.

A little highlight on mutual aid for 1943-44 fiscal year for which Canada has agreements with the U.K., Nqw Zealand, India, Russia and China—and soon with the French Committee of National Liber­ ation and the British West Indies. Canada will deal direct with all her Allies, sending without charge Can­ adian food and munitions for which they have made commitments beyond their ablity to pay. However in the case of the United Kingdom, cost of servicing Canadian troops in Britain and Italy is credited to Britain's mutual aid account in Canada. Ships, planes, automotive vehicles and munitions, under mutual aid which will have any salvage value, may be returned to us after the war. Of interest to farmers: E. S. Archibald, director of the Experi­ mental Farm Service, says that pro­ ducers of Canada's foodstuffs are paying income taxes in small num­ bers, not of their own choice but for the simple reason that the earning power in labour income on the aver­ age farm, even with the free labour of wife and children thrown in, is little more than that which industry and Governments pay to a Grade 1 stenographer . . . During the fiscal year 1942-43, there were 1,197 cheese factories vn Canada which received a premium on account of having manufactured cheese scoring 93 points or higher . , . Grasses and legumes are relatively high in pro­ tein and low in sugar, a factor which adds to the difficulties of making them into good silage . . . The supply of potash available for fertilizer purposes in Canada in 1944 will not exceed 35,000 tons, which is about 80% of that used in 1943, and demand will be up; so rationing is in effect so that more farmers will get their fair share; this .will not affect the total ton­ nage of fertilizers available . . . Wholesale prices for Canadian farm products moved up gradually inNovember to reach * peak level (in­dex) of 104.5, compared with 103.8a month earlier.More than 64,000 Girl Guidesthroughout Canada are contributingto the national war effort in many ways, besides carrying on their regu­ lar peacetime activities ...

Veterans Guard of Canada Opens Recruiting Drive In the three and a half years since its foundation in 1940, the Veter­ ans Guard of Canada has gained a high place among the formations of Canada’s Active Army, as a dis­ ciplined hard-hitting force of fight­ ing men, of proven dependability and courage. This is not hard to understand, when it is remembered that the Veterans Guard of today is the cream of what is left of the famous old Canadian Corps of World War 1. The duties entrusted to the Veterans Guard of Canada, which includes operational duty at vulnerable points of Canada’s East and West coasts, the guarding of thousands of prisoners of war, se­ curity duties throughout the Dom­ inion and in four locations Overseas, arc such As can only be performed by soldiers, well-trained, and fully dependable. It is universally ac­ knowledged by the highest military authorities in Canada, and it was publicly proclaimed, a few months ago, by the Minister of National De­ fence, Col. Ralston, himself, in a nation-wide radio broadcast, that the Veterans Guard of Canada has al­ ready done a magnificent job for Canada,, in this the second .war in which its personnel have voluntarily engaged. It is a record of which all members of the Veterans Guard of Canada, as well as all veterans of the last war, may well be proud. Today, this famous Corps stands at the peak of its efficiency and good repute. But, in order to main­ tain itself at the peak, it must ob­ tain 1,000 new members at the earl­ iest possible moment. To this end, a special recruiting effort has been set in motion in the London district, .under the auspices of the district recruiting, officer, and with the spe­ cial assistance of a special recruit­ ing detail from the Directorate of the Veterans Guard of Canada, Ot­ tawa, headed by CapL Ross Hamil­ ton, an officer who has had wide experience in the recruiting field and who has served with the Vet­ erans Guard since the formation of the Corps in May, 1940. Any person who served with the forces of Britain or her Allies in the last war, who is 55 years of age or under, and in medical category, .A, B or C, is eligible for enlistment in the Veterans Guard, The Corps is part of the Active Army, and full service rates of pay and allowances apply. Pensions from the last war are .not affected by enlistment in the Veterans Guard and every effort is made to post men within, or as close to, their home districts as the exigencies of the service win allow. Veterans to whom the call of duty still has an appeal may obtain full information regarding enlistment in the Corps 'from any recruiting office in Military District No. 1, from mo­ bile recruiting units throughout thedistrict, and from Captain Hamilton during the three weeks’ tour of the area which ha has now commenced. A Great Year Id The Fight Against Tuberculosis “One hundred years ago on Dec. 11th, 1843, in Hanover^ Germany, the old Germany, where men’s minds were free—a child was bom who was destined to make the greatest contribution ever made to science’s fight against Tuberculosis. The child was named Robert Koch, a name, which on March 24th, 1882, went into the annals of science as immortal. On that day, Koch, be­ fore an august gathering of scien­ tists, announced the discovery of the cause of Tuberculosis, a germ which he called the Tubercule Bacillus. His discovery launched the campaign against Tuberculosis.” This was the tribute paid by Mr. Thos. F. Walker, the chairman of the Christmas Seal Committee of Queen Alexandra Sanatorium, to the brilliant scientist, Robert Koch, as he recounted the story of Koch’s discovery. Koch, as a youth, had dreamed of hunting tigers, of exploring seas and strange lands, but his dreams faded and he became a country doctor with what was to him, an uninteresting practice. Koch, his dreams dispelled, became more and more discontented. But on his twenty-eighth birthday, his wife gave him a microscope—a birthday gift to one man .which has saved the lives of millions—a birth­ day gift that turned Koch's dreams of adventure into reality, adventures into a^realm far stranger, far more fascinating than’any of the seas or lands he once craved to explore, for the microscope was his ship into the realm of the unknown, the invisible and the infinitely small living things he found there, were far more excit­ ing and interesting to fight' than tigers. They were the deadly disease germs. “The full story of Koch’s achieve­ ments with his first microscope would take pages to tell,” Mr. Wal­ ter said, “but the day he made his famous announcement regarding Tuberculosis, is the high point of this story.” On that day in 1882, the quiet country doctor, Mill on a low rung ofthe scientific ladder, appeared inBerlin before a group of brilliantscientists, who were ready to tearhh experiments to pieces to prove that he had proved nothing. The great Professor Rudolph Virchow, was in the audience—Virchow, who could make or break a younger scientist’s career by agreeing or dis­ agreeing with his conclusions. And Virchow had his own fwell-worked theories of the cause of Tubercul­ osis. Koch undraimtically read his paper, a scientific classic because it so clearly described his many ex­ periments, so irrevocably proved that his discovery was a true dis­ covery.. He finished and sat down to await the storm of voices presenting clashing scientific views. There was no storm, there was only silence. Virchow, who had heard his careful theories of the cause of Tuberculosis exploded be­ yond hope of repair, without a word, rose and left the hall. The quiet country doctor once and for all time, had silenced the raging con­ troversy over the cause of Tuber­ culosis. Mr. Walker pointed out that Koch's prophecy came true in 1900 in Canada, with the organization of the Canadian Tuberculosis Associa­ tion, by a group of doctors and lay­ men who knew that since Tubercul­ osis is “an infectious disease”, it could be controlled. He also said that “since the foun­ ding of the Association on the prem­ ise Tuberculosis is an infectious dis­ ease, hence controllable, the disease has been reduced from the first cause of death, to the seventh and the death rate cut from 200 per 100,000 of our population in 1900, to 51.9 today. However, Tuberculosis, still kills more persons during the most vital and productive years of life, 15 to 45, than any other disease. In speaking of the present Christ­ mas Seal Campaign, Mr. Walker stated, that it is progressing well, but that so far, only 33 per cent of those receiving appeal letters had so far answered and he expressed the hope that, everyone by their contri­ butions, large or small, would join in making this Campaign, which marks the hundredth anniversary of Dr. Koch’s birth, most successful, in or­ der that the Sanatorium might con­ tinue unimpeded, its valiant Fight for Victory over the devastating White Plague. Hall Crowded For Lions Club Bingo With an average of 220 playing the 70 games, the fifth annual tur­ key bingo, sponsored by the Inger­ soll Lions Club, held on Saturday evening in the town hall, was the most successful the club has ever known. From before opening time to the moment when the last of the turkeys was given to its jubilant winner, the hall was crowded and club members felt this a real tribute to the work of their organization. There were 25 more turkeys offer­ ed as prizes than ever before. Of these, 70 "were (won as bingo prizes and 5 as door prizes. The seating capacity for each game was 248 and with the number of players averaging 220, it is plainly seen how large the crowd. Len Coles was the capable “announcer” and the games were quickly and effic­ iently managed. Those winning the door prizes ■were: T. Coombs, Ingersoll; N. Rea- burn, Woodstock; Mrs. George Peach, Ingersoll; Bill Payne, Tham- esford; F. G. Rich, Ingersoll. Wishing All A Merry Christmas A Very Happy New Year OPEN EVENINGS W. W. Wilford and Staff A CHOICE FOR THE FUTURE — by — Eveline A. Long forward, marching in unison, no longer singing our songs of self- praise to swell the national ego, but carolling freely of a new-found un­ derstanding that is the only true- basis of peace. The divine shape of things to come, or the shape that mortal man in his folly and self-sufficiency can make, which are we going to choose after this war? The shape that leads consciously to a better world, or one that grows out of man’s uninspired and haphazard planning? One that takes into consideration all men's well being or one that gives again to him that hath; that keeps a weather eye on the first .person singular and disdains the altruist as the easy mark, the silly idealist of our civilization? We have a choice, as individuals first and then as nations. We can make a peace, one that is not simply a state of uneasy marking time, awqjting the arrival of the next up­ heaval, but a permanent affair, when a conclave-of the world's wisest heads is continuously in session, an­ ticipating and seizing swiftly on mat­ ters that threaten disruption of the peace, and holding in its hands the power to settle disputes by amicable discussion and rearrangement, or failing that, by force to coerce the ralcalcitrant nation ' ' to world opinion. World wars are very like trade or labour wars on a gigantic scale. The latter are caused by employers an employees failing to get together, refusing to see one another’s point of view, each selfishly demanding what he considers his due, irrespective of the harm he may do to his oppon­ ent, until bitterness so warps the spirit of both that disruption of all friendly relationship is the result. It has been found possible in many cases to bridge the gap between the two factions so that each passes amicably into the other's camp. It is the yielding of absolute self­ interest on the part of both that brings peace between them to the interest of both. And so with nations. If we are going to insist on our pound of flesh, whether it means the death of another or not, we arc going to end by losing it, for wars now must always mean loss to all participants. The day of seize and conquer is done. All nations are aware of their right to live their own lives, to enjoy the fruits of their own lands, to work out their own salvation. And we, who are a little in advance of the army of civ­ ilization, should see it as our duty to lead the way, to propose the plans, to work out the means where­ by the nations of the world can go In a London club, a member was complaining to a friend of the in­ experience of his new man vant, “Ah?” murmured the film friend.
