BOARD OF EDUCATION
STRIKE YEAR’S ESTIMATE
Renew of library Work
Presented at Annual Meeting
At a recent meeting of the Public
Librarj Board a review of last year’s
work was presented. The high spot
of 1943 was, of course, the redecor
ation of the Library and the fresh,
bright appearance has been much ap
preciated.
The circulation of books in 1943
rose a little over the preceding year
to a total of 42,410. The increase
was in the number of non-fiction
books borrowed and in the juvenile
circulation. This last may have been
due to the fact that more books were
loaned to the schools for supplemen
tary reading. About 800 periodi
cals were borrowed by the public.
Nine hundred and forty-two bookswere added to the shelves. Follow
ing the Board’s suggestion that a
special effort be made to learn the
wishes of the public in adding books,
an excellent idea of the general read
ing taste has been obtained. Also,
several special sections of the Lib
rary have been built up with a wider
range of books—machine shop work,
aircraft construction, etc. Special
books were also added on economics,music and art.
There were 251 new members in
1943.
The first forms of the Collegiate
had their annual talk on Librarj’.
methods, this time paying a visit tothe Library in classes. The arrange-1
ment of books was explained and the I
use of the card catalogue, and suit-1
able books for supplementary reading
were displayed.
The card catalogue was extended
to include a complete author and
title index and a title index of juv
enile books.
The story hour, held for eight
months of the year had a total at
tendance of 760.
In the spring the librarians visited
the library conference in London.
There were discussions of library
publicity, the keeping of ■ historical
records, county library,-«vork and
boys’ and girls' books—
Ingersoll continues to be a mem
ber of the Oxford County Library
Association, which is increasingly
active and good use is made of the
quarterly distribution of books.
Here are some of the types of in
formation asked for in any couple of
days at the Library—designs for em
broidery, recipes, Bible pictures,
electric welding, books on banking,
post war plans, Russia, short plays,
material for debates, plans for
houses, books on personality, book
reviews, famous paintings. The most
general requests in 1943 were for
the book, "The Robe”, by Lloyd
Douglas, books on Russia, books on
aviation, good mysteries.
During the month of February
the members of the Food Industries
of Canada will conduct a campaign
for the sale of War Savings Stamps.
There are more than 40,000 retail
food outlet*, restaurants and hotels
in Canada and the objeetvie of the
campaign is set at a sale of
$2,000,000 worth of stamps.
The slogan of the campaign is
“Hasten Their Victorious Home
Coming” and each merchant has been
asked to set a quota for the month
and their endeavour will be to ex
ceed the amount set early in the
month.
A feature of the campaign will be
the offering of a “Book of the Year”,
a special book that will take care of
stamp purchases each week ending in
January. 1945. Filling the book will
give the investor a savings of at
least $24.00 which will yield a re
turn of $30.00 at maturity.
The little book of the year is de
signed to fit any handbag or pocket
and will serve as a constant re
minder of it as an implied pledge to
continue to make weekly purchases
of War Savings Stamps.
The campaign of the Retail Food
Merchants and their suppliers has
the entire endorsation of Minister
Finance Ilsley who looks upon the
effort as a real contribution to War
Finance.

and trying day* ahead for all of us

Currie Wilson within the past month
and had a letter from George
Lockhart quite recently. We are
going to try to arrange another get-
together shortly if possible . . .The other day at noon I was sitting
in the mess hall after dinner and it
was announced that through the
courtesy of the Canadian Legion,
some people from Woodstock, Inger
soll district would speak to boys over
here. To my surprise the first voice
I heard was A. F. Carr’s and it was
very clear, and although he was
speaking to his son I sort of felt the
message was for me too. It was grand
to hear his voice. I also heard Mr.
Murray, Mrs. Mole, Mrs. Ron Palmer
and others on the broadcast and
all voices were A-l. It is those little
things that count so much when one
is away.”

The regular meeting of the Lion*
Club waa held on Monday evening
at the St. Charles* Coffee Shop, with
a good attendance of members.
Guests of the club included members
of the Kiwanis Club and the Y's men.
George Baskett presided and daring
the evening a male quartette com
posed of Harry Watson, C. H. Kipp,
Howard Young and Frank Fulton
sang a number of selections.
President Gordon Pittock of the
Y’s men and George Sutherland and
C. A. Love of the Kiwanis Club, ex
pressed the thanks of their clubs for
the hospitality of the Lions.
Lion Frank Leake introduced the
speaker of the evening, W. A.
(Billy) Fry of Dunnville, a close
associate of Lion Leake for a period
covering nearly half a century.
In opening his address, Mr. Fry
stated that to come to Ingersoll was
like coming home. This had been the
only place he had ever lived apart
from his home town of Dunnville
and having married an Ingersoll girl
he felt he had an extra claim on
Ingersoll. He came here in 1890 and
was closely associated in musical
circles both in choir and band work.
His address interspersed with a
wealth of stories, many dealing with
his activities as an editor of a weekly
newspaper.
After working two years as a
grocery clerk, he began his career
as a printer’s devil and after two
years decided he would like to move.
At the age of 19 he made this decis
ion and advertised himself as a
printer and cornet player. At this
time the A.O.F. in Ingersoll were
getting a brass band organized with
the late E. L. Smith as secretary,
who also was foreman in the Inger
soll Chronicle office. The dual role
as advertised by young Fry. appealed
to Mr. Smith who persuaded Geo.
Gurnett, the proprietor of the Chron
icle, that they needed an extra
printer. For a little over five year,
Mr. Fry continued in Ingersoll and
then got married and returned to
Dunnville, where he started a paper
of his own in 1896.
He cited some of the difficulties
and trials of a weekly editor as he
had experienced them as well as the
troubles that Could be avoided or be
put up with as editor. Police Court
proceedings were said to have been
difficult to cope with and he also
told some amusing incidents arisingfrom typographical errors.
He stressed the importance of the
weekly newspaper to a community
and the great responsibility of giving
news to a vast crowd. The speaker
said that he took a great pride in
his paper, the Dunnville Chronicle,
the name of which had been
grounded in his associations here
with the Ingersoll Chronicle. As a
member of the Lions Club in Dunn
ville, he stated that he held an added
link to his associations with Ingersoll
and the Lions here.
Lion John Borland expressed the
thanks of the club to the speaker.
In closing the meeting, President
George Baskett announced the
names of five - new members to the
local 'club, who will be officially ini
tiated at the next regular meeting.
A widely known farmer and prom
inently associated with township and
county municipal affairs for many
years, Andrew Dunn, passed away at
his home, Lot 13, Concession 1,
North Oxford, on Friday night. He
was in his 85th year and had been

serious.

David Clark Wins West
Oxford Oratorical Contest
The deceased furnace-installer
knocked at the gates of hell and de
manded admittance.
"What do you want here?” asked
Satan.
"I want to collect from several
of my customers who died before I
did," was his response.
"How do you know that they’re
here?" asked Satan. ’
“Well, they told me to eome here
every time I tried to collect.”
David Clark, of Cook's School, won
the West Oxford 'Oratorical Contest
award in a hotly contested event in
West Oxford Township Schools held
at Folden’s last Wednesday night.
There were seven contestants and all
accredited themselves in a marvel
lous manner. David’s subject was
“The Rabbit”, and his teacher is Mrs.
Grace Summers. Second place was
given to Shirley Howard, of Five
Points, who spoke on tho subject
"How can we all help in the war
effort”. Her teacher is Miss Ruth
Hawkins. Third place went to Jim
Mutcrer, of Dunn’s School, who I
spoke on the subject, "The Ashphalt
Industry of Trinidad”. ’His teacher
is Mrs. Mildred Batten. The other
contestants and their teachers were:
Arlene Harvey, of Centreville, who
spoke on "Henry Hudson", teacher,
Miss Helen S. Murray; Mary Mc
Cutcheon, of Sweaburg South, who
spoke on "Flax”, teacher, Miss Coyla
Cody; Mary Shelton, of Folden’s,
who spoke on "The Story of Coal”,
teacher, Mrs. Jean E. Vannatter; Bill
Hollingshead, of Dixon's, who spoke
on "The Road to Victory”.’
Epch speaker showed that he had
spent considerable time and researchin preparation. There is no, doubt
that the present generation is de
veloping public speaking) power.
The judge* were Mr. A. G. Murray
and Rev. R. H. Parr, of Ingersoll,
and Rev. E. S. Barton, of Beachvillle.
A splendid musical program was
provided by the schools participating.
This included a double duct by Mary
McCutcheon, Merle Malcolm, Sherman
Gee and Bob Braund, from Swu.
burg South; a chorus from Five
Points; a Dutch dance by Folden'e;
a beautiful solo by Fred Stephenson,
from Dunn’s; ^a dramatized duet by
Barbara Bowman and Lome Groves;

gaj, from Dixon’s. Mrs. Bert Hill

President of The Royal Bank ofCanada, at the bank’s annual meeting.Mr. Wilson reviewed the tremendous role Canada had played in this
mightiest war of all time and themanner in which workmen and enterprisers alike had co-operated .init. “Despite this fact,” he said, “weare being told by all the publicitymethods revolutionary partisans candevise, that in order to win thepeace we must change our entireeconomic system and launch outinto new and untried paths, under
new and inexperienced leaders.The theorists and visionaries whopreach these doctrines of an economic revolution may be thoroughlyhonest and sincere. But the factremains that the principles they advocate can only lead, as a final andinevitable result, to a completelyregimented economy, and on thispoint I cannot do better than quotethe Editor of the London Economist,a well-known writer of liberal views:.A wholly planned economy"is incompatible with any degree of“political freedom. The possibility
"of a man’s earning his living in his“own way, without let or hindrance,"is the essential condition of there"being any freedom of discussion,“any freedom to oppose. If more“than a fraction of the electorate“come to depend for their livelihood"upon the temporary masters of the“mechanism of the State—that is,“upon the politicians—then democ-“racy is at an end.””1 am more convinced than everthat the menace of socialistic teaching is one which closely affects everyone in Canada in both his businessand private life."These advocates of a new orderhave an astounding scheme, whichwill result in nothing less than com
plete regimentation of Canada. Asyou know, one of their principalobjectives, and the first plank intheir platform, is to nationalize the
banks.

fails to occupy fields of activity Intowhich it later finds that public opinion has forced the Government toenter.”Mr. Wilson saw ne reason forapproaching the post-war era withany defeatist attitude and declared
that the same energy, initiative andselflessness which had developed inthe war years, could be used forconstructive purposes after thepeace.In all plans for the rehabilitationof devastated countries the United
States and Canada would be lookedto as leaders, he said.

Last week we explained the form
ation of the Consumer’s Branch and
its functions. As mentioned prev
iously it is not only the liaison offi
cer that must co-operate with the
Branch to ensure proper food sup
plies, but the housewife as well. To
day we will consider the methods in
which you as a consumer can help
your retailer in these difficult times.
The Consumer Branch asks you to
follow these few points carefully in
your every day activities, not only
when you are shopping but during
your every day activities.
1. Join with your retail store
operator (retailer), in the fight
against rising living costs. Know his
ceiling prices by keeping track of
! them in your Wartime Prices and
Trade Board “Blue Book”.
2. Help your dealer to help you.
Don’t ask for extra service unless it
is absolutely necessary. For ex
ample: Don’t ask for delivery of
those parcels which you yourself can
carry.
3. Give your household appli
ances the proper care they deserve.
Keep them clean and oiled. Learn
to make minor repairs yourself.
This will save overhaul and replace
ment expense and will also help
your dealer.
4. Buy only what you need and
avoid placing an undue strain on
your retail store operator’s stocks.
He is curtailed to 60 per cent of his
1941 purchases.
5. Know what ration coupons
are valid and avoid asking your store
operator unnecessary questions.
Know also the value of the cou
pons—this will save time for every
one.
6. Shop early in the day and
early in the week, thus avoiding
“peak loads”. Your retail store epert
ator is having difficulties getting
experienced labour and this will help
him to give you and your neighbours
his best service.
7. Do-not make any unnecessary
demands on him. Remember these
are difficult days for him too.
This co-operation among you as a
consumer and the retailers will help
in a large measure to hold the line
against inflation.

SOCIALIST MENACE
"Naturally, we are interested inpreserving our business, in which somany shareholders have invested,and to which so many depositors haveentrusted their savings. But evenmore as citizens than as businessmen, we deplore the rise of thiscreed, because we firmly believe thatI implementation of the socialist .planwould ruin this generation and setCanada back centuries.“It is as a citizen as well as abanker that I put before you somefurther considerations to which Ihope you will give your earnestthought.“The course of the socialist partyin Canada has been charted for usin several books which make clearthat nothing short of complete socialization of the means of production and finance will satisfy the party.That means domination of everyphase of economic life, 'including,agriculture, labour and capital.Therefore, l?ccftU8'; wc foil intoone or other of the classes, it meansdomination of every individual."What would the socialists achieve
by nationalization of the banks?Their book on social planning saysthat they will form one board ofdirectors for the national bank monopoly instead of the ten boardswhich now operate the competitivechartered banks."Socialistic literature suggeststhat access to the books of the bankand a consequent rupture of theconfidential relationship that nowexists between bank and depositor,would be of inestimable value indetermining taxation policies. But
would this appeal to the depositor?“Furthermore, as we are organized today, a prospective borrowermay go from one’bank to another ifhe fails’to convince the first bankerof his probity, ability and prospects;under the socialistic system, unlessthe prospective borrower could convince the state bank of the soundness of the project for which hesought to borrow money, and also
that the transaction to be financedwas in harmony with socialist partyobjectives, he would be turned downand would have no other bank tolook to for a loan. Do you thinkthat such a system would assure theborrower of as fair treatment as he
now receives?"I believe the answer to thesetwo questions, affecting depositorsand borrowers, is a positive ’No.’On the contrary, history'and experience lead us to expect that such* agovernment monopoly of bankingwould' lead to favouritism of partyadherents. At the same time, weshould witness a spread of that sterility of ideas and enterprise whichtends to accompany every .humanactivity that finds itself in appositionof unchallengeable power.’'
PRIVATE BANKING BEST
Mr. Wilson suggested that it. wasnot simply due to chance thaf banking the world over had continued inprivate hands, but that the people
and the Governments had consideredit advisable from every point of viewthat banking should be free of political and partisan influences. He reminded his audience that .Canadianbanks were already effectively controlled by the Bank of Canada andthat further intervention by the Government in the banking businesswould, in his belief, be superfluousand would not be welcomed by themajority who deal with the banks.Mr. Wilson again urgecfo4)usinessto speak up on its own behalf. “Bus-

“I personally believe that largeoutright gifts of food, raw mater- 'ials, finished goods and machinery 'to backward and devastated countries will in the long run, and evenfrom the most selfish point of view, 1
not only contribute most to humanwelfare, but both in the short andlong run be in the best interests of 1
those nations which can afford tomake the gifts.“If this is too much to expect ofhuman beings in their present stageof development, the alternative mustbe loans on a very large scale onlong and easy terms, or probably acombination of both loans andgifts.”
GENERAL MANAGER’S ADDRESS
Sydney G. Dobson, Vice-Presidentand General Manager, in reviewingthe bank's Balance Sheet said thatthe volume of business passingthrough the bank’s books had been
unprecedented during the past year.Total assets now exceeded $1,500,-000,000, an all-time high in thehistory of the bank.
He reviewed at length the partplayed by the banks in assisting thecountry’s war financing.
’There appears to be a misconception in the minds of some peoplethat the banks purchase a substantial portion of the Governmentpublic issues and increase theirearnings in this manlier. This isnot the case. During 1943 two Victory Loans were issued, realizing$2,692,000,0OQ. the 4th VictoryLoan floated in May last was purchased by 2,660,000 subscribers andthe 5th Victory Loan in October byover 3,000,0fl'J. In neither loan didthe banks Buy bonds for their ownaccount. While there is naturallysome change in the holdings of theorigins/ subscribers, relatively onlyan unimportant amount found itsway Into the banks.
"In common with the other banks,w< have done everything possible toniake these Victory Loans a success. Managers have encouragedcustomers to subscribe or to increase their subscriptions. All depositors considered capable of subscribing for an amount of $50 ormore have been written to and advertisements have been inserted inthe press urging depositors to sub
scribe to the full extent of theirability."
EARNINGS MODEST
Despite the tremendous increasein the business of the bank, earningswere modest, said Mr. Dobson. “I
think that any fair-minded personwill agree that the $2,100,000 paidto shareholders last year was a verymodest amount to be paid to the proprietors of the bank, when we con-,sider the size of the organization'and the tremendous amount of busi
ness it is necessary to handle inorder to.earn that amount Any othertype of business working with assetsof one and a half billion dollarswould have been able to earn forshareholders a considerably largerreturn. If we consider this yield inrelation to our two main earningassets, loans and investments, we find
that the dividend paid to our shareholders was less than l/5th of onecent on the dollar on the totp£ ofthese two items, a very trifling handling charge, to say the least. I havenever heard the claim made thatCanadian banks are not efficientlyrun, therefore the answer must bethat the profit in banking is small.”
Mr. Dobson reported that the progress made by the bank’s South
American branches had been particularly gratifying and that its foreignbranches were in a position to be ofpractical aid in promoting post-wartrade.
The General-Manager remarkedon the efficient manner in whichthe bank’s staff had dealt with tremendously Increased business andprovided new wartime services despite enlistments, and paid tribute tothe enthusiasm and ability of themany young women iVho have joinedthe bank since the war began.
2,123 ENLISTMENTS
“The voluntary response of ourstaff to our country’s call has beenmagnificent,” said Mr. Dobson,'“andthere are now 2,123 men in thearmed forces. Of this number 2,000were employed in Canada, which isequivalent to 69 vl of our Canadianstaff-of military age at the outbreakof war.
“To these men the bank pays aportion of the difference betweentheir bank salary and service pay.They retain their membership inthe Pension Fund Society, and thebank pays their group insurance premiums. We shall welcome them whenthe time comes for them to returnto their duties in the bank.
“Unhappily the number of casualties has doubled since I last reportedto you; 67 of our young men havenow given their lives in the cause.Their names, which we hold in'hon-our, appear in the printed record ofthis meeting), and we extend ourheartfelt sympathy to their families.”
