In making his initial bow to an Ingersoll audience in recital, Mr. Riddolls exemplified his artistry at the console and in his varied num­ bers delighted his hearers. To single out one item would be most difficult for all were accorded fine treatment. Mr. Riddolls is a talented organist and as a member of musical circles in Ingersoll we shall hope he will present future programs which will be accorded well deserved patronage. In her first number, Mrs. Uren excelled herself in htw -splendid presentation of Goun^jfs “O Divine Redeemer.” Haw* lovely lyric voice was indeed pzfleasure to hear. In her gror ./"offerings, possibly “The British Children’s Prayer”, had r.riority over the others to this re­ viewer, still all were beautifully sung, and in his accompaniments, Mr. Riddolls gave sympathetic assist­ ance. At the close of the recital the Women’s Association entertained the choir in the parlors, when a social period was greatly enjoyed. Following is the programme: Chaconne .................

Riddolls Collection of the War Salvage in Ingersoll this week proved to be a major undertaking and the truck which came from Brantford on Mon­ day found it necessary to return on Tuesday to complete the collection. The Ingersoll War Salvage Com­ mittee through the chairman, Mr. E. H. Alb rough, has expressed sin­ cere appreciation of the way in which the townspeople responded to the appeal. The co-operation was of the best and much more was collect­ ed than they had anticipated. While exact figures are not yet available it is estimated that about 8 tons of salvage was gathered in the two- day collection.

[ Dear Friends: “Our very sincere thanks for the , very welcome edgp-ibutions you have forwarded for aid to our Russianallies. ■' “It is a great satisfaction to all of us to know that the many thousands of articles of clothing and other nec­ essities forwarded from Canada last year are now being distributed among the people of the reconquered Russian cities. “If our gifts can convey even a small measure of our admiration and gratitude to the Russian people for the magnificent contribution they are making to the United Nations cause, I am sure we will all feel amply repaid for our efforts. “However, the need in the de­ vastated areas, as you know, is al­ most beyond comprehension, due to the brutality and destruction wrought by the German invaders, and we are anxious to keep up a steady flow of supplies as lonft as possible. “We are deeply grateful for co-operation you have gjven us.

On motion of Councillors Smith and Preston, the following motion was made, “In view of the fact that only one change will be required to fill the committees of the 1944 coun­ cil as compared to the same commit­ tees that existed in-1943, it is here­ by enacted that Councillor C.

Mayor Daniel stated that it was mandatory that the town have a re­ lief chairman in order to conduct the direct relief but he held the view that it should be termed “welfare committee.” Council was again resumed on Monday evening. Mayor Daniel read his inaugural address in which he stated that the new council was starting with the majority of past members and it was encouraging to have these experienced councillors. He congratulated Mr. Riley for head­ ing the polls and in view of bis ex­ tensive experience in public office, he will give valuable and helpful assistance. x His Worship requested the co-op- eration of all members and assured them that they would receive the same from him. At times, he said, ' there would and should be a differ­ ence of opinion but he trusted that those finding themselves on the short end, would take the ruling of the majority. More can be accomplished by conforming to the rules of the ■ game and conducting parliamentary debate than by losing.one’s temper. : %fayor Daniel stated that the fin­ ancial standing of the town was i good, but that any program requir­ ing the expenditure of large sums cf ' money could not be undertaken. However, plans for the future could be discussed and he would appreciate (suggestions related to post-war con- i struction.

Ships are required by orders of the day to contact these base libraries for books or to exchange their books for fresh ones. In order to meet this special appeal the I.O.DJB. is asking people to comb their book shelves as never before and particularly to dig out those best sellers they have been hoarding and put them into the hands of some lonely sailor on con­ voy duty.. Besides keeping base lib­ raries supplied, books are also need­ ed to replace those that have been lost at sea, through enemy action. Books mean a great deal to the navy boys, who have long hours to put in at sea. Before the establish­ ment of the base libraries a sailor re­ turning from convoy duty on the Atlantic tells of having nothing to read on his off-duty hours but an almanac, which he managed to go through 55 times. Used books may be turned into the I.O.D.E. or taken to the nearest post office, where they will be picked up. If your book shelves have already been stripped bare the I.O. D.E. asks that you send a money donation.

Fifty per cent of the books sent to the I.O.D.E camp libraries are brand new books and the selection is comprised of 20 per cent, non-fiction ((all non-tech- nical as the I.O.D.E. is authorized only to provide recreational read­ ing), and the balance is a selection of novels, mysteries and westerns, with the best authors of the day well represented.

Daniel conducted the business and all mem­ bers were present. A communication was received from the Loon’s dub, requesting rebate on rental of the hall, also one from the I.O.D.E., stating that a compaign would take place from Jan. 10 to 22, to raise $100,000 for new books for men of the services. Don­ ations of new or used books would also be acceptable. On motion of Councillors H. T. Bower and S. J.

Underwood, "in view of the very satisfactory manner in which he has handled the town’s gifts of | pen and pencil sets to men in service I overseas.”j Tribute served as well. Councillor Smith stated that he was sorry to see him go, but hoped that at some future date he might again join them. Mr. Weir thanked Mr. Smith for his kind remarks and stated that during his five years as a member of the council he had been on the Board of Works and had endeavoured to do his best. Words of appreciation of Mr. ■Weir’s assistance were also extended by Councillor G. Preston, Mayor K. R. Daniel and by Councillor T. J. Morrison.

New Uniform HYDRO RURAL RATES Effective JANUARY 1st, 1944 The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario announces new uniform rates for electricity to all consumers served by the Commission in the rural areas of Ontario, to become effective January 1st, 1944. The new rates will result in a substantial saving to most Farm and Hamlet consumers, and their form is considerably simplified. The new rate system provides for the following: • A uniform rate to all Rural customers, now served direct by the Commission,. • The elimination of service charges to all farm users. • The reduction of service charges to all Hamlet customers. The co-ordination of all present Rural Power Districts into one Provincial Rural Power System with the same meter rates applying throughout to the various classifications. •' The existing consumer classifications, totalling II In all, have been reduced to 5 dearly defined dasses: i.e. 2 wire hamlet, 3 wire hamlet, farm, commercial lighting and summer cottages. New Rate* Benefiting Approximately 97%.of All Rural Consumers Are as Follows: FARM SERVICE NO SERVICE CHARGE. 2 WIRE HAMLET SERVICE AH nmalnlag KwHn.* per month at per KwHr.* Minimum charge $0.75 per Kilowatt of Gross quarterly bill subject to 10%Prompt Payment Discount. * Thia Farm Service rate applies to all Farms. In the case of “Standard” Farmsof approximately 100 acres the demandis usually 3 Kilowatta and for these services the first block of KwHrs is 60 whilo these blocks win increase in proportion £ to the Kilowatt demand. ‘[KwHn.)—Kilowatt Hours KwHr. AU nmalnlog KwHn.* per month atper KwHr.* Minimum charge $1.67 per month gross Grow quarterly HU subject to 10% Prompt Payment Discount. 3 WIRE HAMLET SERVICE Swvka Chers* B5c per month gross.

These new rates apply only to rural consumers served direct by this Commission in Rural Power Districts established under Sections 71 to 79, inclusive, of the PowerCommission Act. They do not apply to consumers in rural voted areas or townships operating under Section 54, of the Power Commission Act. In the latter areas, such as the townships of Ancaster, Brantford, East York, Etobicoke, London, Nipigon, North York, Scarborough, Toronto and Trafalgar, the present rates win not be affected. As a result of these new rate reductions, Hydro Rural consumers will save an estimated amount exceeding $500,000.00 per annum. Experience justifies the expecta­tion on the part of the Commission that this reduction in revenue will be recovered in a short time through'the increased use of electricity in the rural areas. The application of these uniform rural rates will enable the Commission to later extend service to many areas not now served and to supply economically, consumers in the more sparsely settled areas. In most rural districts the new rates will provide a saving for the majority of consumers. The following examples indicate the estimated consumer saving in a district at present supplied under a rate of 6c per KwHr. for the first block and 2c per KwHr. for the second block.

ROYAL BANK ASSETS 1-EXCEED SI MOOT,OCT MOSSLEY It has been significant that plans to abolish bonus payments for the discontinuation of wheat acreage and the bonus allowed for coarse grains have been made, it has been claimed,, as propositions aimed to help the farmers to decide for them­ selves how to obtain the best possible returns in cash for their efforts, with a gentle hint having been given in some quarters that the farmers may benefit most by devoting more and more time and energy to the production of livestock, though oth­ ers have insinuated that wheat may provide good returns under the con­ ditions.

New high records tn practically alldepartment* of the bank’s bu.inea are revealed in the Annual Balance Sheet of The Royal Bank of Canada for the year ended November 30, 1943. Total aaaeta, which a year ago reached the highest point in the bank’s history, have again expanded, and now stand at the record figure of 31,509,097,571 as compared with 31,291,615,946 on November 30, 1942. Deposits have likewise reached a new high level, and now total 31,880,769,152, an increase of more than 3216,000,000 for the year. Current loana in Canada are again moderately higher and now stand at 3277,921,237 as compared with 3255,148,401 a year ago, an increase of over $22,700,000. It is under­ stood that this increase ia due largely to increased borrowing by the public for the purchase of the Fifth Victory Loan. Apart from this, it is under­ stood that many firms have found it unnecessary to borrow because of rapid turnover and prompt settle­ ment of accounts in connection with war production. Furthermore inven­ tories are, generally, speaking, lower. Loans outside Canada show a mod­ erate reduction. The liquid position of the bank continues very strong, with quickly realizable assets equal to 78.09% of the bank's liabilities to the public. There has been a marked expansion in liquid assets which now total 31,104,703,439, as compared with 3906,440,239 a year ago. Included in these liquid assets are Dominion and Provincial securities amounting to $641,898,620 which is an increase of 3122,000,000 as compared with last year. Cash on hand, deposits with the Bank of Canada, other cash items and bank balances also show asubstantial increase and now stand at 3323,225,998 as compared with 3261,884,475 in November, 1942. After providing 32,281,952 for Dominion Government taxes, an in­ crease of 3267,786 over a year ago, and after providing for bad and doubtful debts, profits for the year amounted to 33,426,289, a moderate increase over the figures for the pre­ vious year. From these profits divi­ dends amounting to 32,100,000 were paid. For the Pension Fund an appro­ priation of 3370,000 was set aside and 3400.000 for Bank premises. The sum of 3556,289 was carried forward to the balance of Profit and Loss Account which now stands at 33,- 815,487. The Annual General Meeting of the shareholders will be held at the Head Office of the bank on January 13, 1944, at 11 a.m. Once upon a time women wore dresses with thirty yards of material in them.

The new T-l Special Form for those whose income in 1943 didn't top 33,000 is simpler; above that bracket it is a little more complicated. The T-l Special is 4-pages as before but the last two are taken up with show­ ing you tables on various incomes, etc. There are 17 main questions to be answered instead of 14, and you won’t bo confused this time by that 50% remission of tax due because of the "pay-as-you-earn plan."
