A., $L0« CITIZENS CROWD TO COUNCIL MEETING Successful Euchre For Aid To Britain INTERESTED GROUP FORMS BOOK CLUB Large Number Attended Monday’s Session For First Hand Information. At the regular meeting of the Ing­ ersoll Town Council on Monday night, the council chambers’ seating capacity was filled by citizens desir­ ous of hearing the proceedings. Thb is the first time in a great number of years that such interest has been manifested. All the members of council were present and Mayor K. R. Daniel pre­ sided. The reports of the committees all recommended the payment of accounts with the exception of the Finance Committee, which also granted $75 to the Salvation Army rescue work. The Putnam Aid to Britain Club held a successful euchre at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jo£ Rath, the win­ ners being: Ladies’ high score, Laurel Rath; ladies’ lone hands, Mrs. Alex. Wallis; ladies' low score, Miss Coulthard; gents' high score, Tommy Keys; gents* lone hands, Harley Rath; gents’ low score, Ron­ ald Hutcheson. There were 16 tables played and the proceeds which will be used for war work was $15.75. The next euchre for the club will be held on Feb. 15th in Crampton Hall when a draw on a holstein heifer, donated by Geo. Ronlston, will take place. Enquiries Under this heading, Councillor C. W. Riley asked if the request had been made to the Department for a rebate on gasoline used by the Board of Works’ truck and grader. The request has been forwarded but no reply as to what may be expected, has as yet been received, was the information supplied by Clerk McNiven. Previous chairmen had not asked for rebate because it was not in effect at that time.Another query by Councillor Riley was "Why did Chairman Smith have town trucks with two men go south of Curries last year for two barrels of oil?” Councillor Smith-"There were 90 gallons in the two barrels, and none to be obtained here at the time. One ‘barrel was used on road work, the other still in stock. Again Councillor Riley asked if the inventory had been taken of Board of Works property and he was informed that it was on file in the clerk’s office.

OXFORD and NEARBY COUNTY ITEMS Unfinished Business With the initial publication of our column of Oxford and Nearby County Items, we are glad to con­ gratulate Mrs. George McDonald of Kintore, who celebrated her 92nd birthday, yesterday, (Wednesday), February 9th. The old Chevrolet truck that was sold for $10.00 was again brought into the picture and for a consider­ able time the meeting took on the appearance of a court room rather than a council meeting. Several men from the audience were called to give evidence as well as the Chief of Police. After the entire matter was boiled down, it was finally ex­ plained that the whole council had given authority to sell for as much as possible and while dealers had offered $5 the deal closed at $10. After hearing the different speakers, the Mayor summed it up that while the sale had probably proven to be a bad one, it had been sold with the cognizance of every member of the council.GASOLINE BILLS Thorndale—At the annual meeting of the East Middlesex Telephone Co., the management was faced with the problem of preventing prolonged visiting over party lines. It was pointed out that besides extra work imposed on the operator, the prac­ tice caused much unnecessary wear on batteries. Simcoe—A Courtland resident was fined $100 and $38.50 costs after pleading guilty to a charge of pur­ chasing a tire from an unauthorized dealer. On being asked as to what truth there was to a rumour that he and Councillor Riley had gone to the Crown Attorney regarding gasoline of 1943 that had been overpaid, the Mayor made a statement as to what (Continued on page 2) Norwich — Passengers on the Woodstock-Norwich Bus had a thrill­ ing experience when the steering ■wheel came loose and the bus landed in the ditch, cutting off a hydro pole, crashing a wire fence, deeded around a field and stopped .again atthe fence. — An interested group met at the ' library Thursday, February 3rd, for the first meeting of the proposed 1 Book Club. Miss Betty Crawford ’ presided, welcoming the gathering1 and introducing the speaker, Mrs, 1 H. R. Parr, who gave a most inform- ’ ative review of Maurice Hinders’ book, "Mother Russia.” ' Maurice Hinders, a prominent journalist, was born in Russia, and emigrated to America when 13 years of age. He made frequent tripe back to the land of his birth, and in his book he graphically describes the changes which he saw in the 27 years since the revolution. He writes with peculiar sympathy of the role Russia has played in world politics. The advances Russia has. made in education, agriculture and industry, were especially noted and a need for greater understanding between the English-speaking world and Rus­ sia was stressed. The remarkable stand the Russian people, men, wo­ men and children alike, have made against the Nazis, the heroic self­ sacrifice, the awful bloodshed and barbarity they have endured were told in this book with moving sim­ plicity. A lively discussion followed and the general wish -was expressed that at the next meeting the talks on Russia be continued. The speaker will be Mr. J. M. Malcolm, and he will make special reference to Rus­ sia and her place in the post-war world. There was some discussion on what form the club would take, and it was felt that it should be a group for all who were interested in dis­ cussing books; and that the meetings would be held the first Thursday of each month at the library. During the business period a com­mittee was named to plan the year’s 1 programmes: Miss Betty Crawford,Mrs. R. Raynham, Mrs. J. E. West ' and Miss Estelle Carney. Mrs. R. Kilgour was appointed secretary. Congratulated On Reaching 93rd Birthday SERGT. WM. R. STONE KILLED OVERSEAS C. Mr. and Mrs. J.

It was stated at the meeting that the response in the matter of collect­ ions from the many contributors has been excellent during the past year and the officers anticipate a contin­ uance of the givings with the same pleasing regularity which character­ ized them last year. In the treasurer’s statement, it was noted that over 70 per cent, of the monthly receipts were donated to to the Red Cross and in turn some 80 per cent of their receipts went forward to headquarters. The cost of operations (War Charities) was just over, four per cent, and 26 per cent, of receipts was donated towards nationally recognized war charities.

Yule, Fire of undetermined origin did considerable damage to the building owned by George Gunson and smoke and water damaged the customers’ goods in an early morning blaze last Friday. The building is occupied by the Ingersoll Dry Cleaners and Stanley Turner, the proprietor, could offer no information as to the cause. He had gone through‘the building at 11 o’clock and there was no sign of smoke. The fire made headway from near the centre of the ground floor and into the second story. The sec­ ond story is used during the sum­ mer months for storage and it is considered fortunate that there was no clothing in that part of the build­ ing at the time of the fire. The equip­ ment was not damaged. Firemen stayed on the scene until three a.m. and did effective work in prevent­ ing the spreading of the flames, al­ though some damage was done to the property of E. Cable, next door, north of the Dry Cleaners. W. McKee Skipped Winning Disking Rink At the regular 'weekly session of the St. James’ Disking Club there were 8 teams in play.

Ford, editor in chief of the Lon­ don Free Press who gave his im­ pressions of the Australian and New Zealand people as he had obtained them in a recent trip. He had visited these countries as president of the Canadian Press and voiced the opin­ ion that Australian people have rea­ lized during the war days that they cannot live to themselves alone and that they have done wonders in an industrial way. The speaker described many cities of interest as well as the yet-under­ developed portion of the country which will afford interest to settlers after the war. He said that while'UyT people of these countries were iso­ lationists before the war, they had come to realize that they must live with and for other countries. They had nothing but thanks and apprecia­tion to the people of Canada for the manner in which Canadian people had shown kindness and hospitality to their airmen in training here. Mr. Ford touched briefly on the spirit to be found among the people of Australia . and New Zealand in regard to the war in the Pacific and to the war in general. He said they were as a whole, most intensely loyal to Great Britain, ./ The meeting was presided over by A. E. Izzard. The speaker was intro­ duced by W. R. Veale and C. A.

CITIZENS CROWD (Continued from page 1) action had been taken. He said that the town had paid for 193 gallons of gasoline, some oil and anti-freeze, more than sales slips signed by the street superintendent called for. He said that in view of the serious­ ness of the information brought out at the last meeting the matter had been turned over to the Crown Attorney. He also explained that Town Treasurer McNiven had re­ ceived through the mail .an envelope containing cash in full ‘for all short­ ages of gasoline, oil and anti-freeze, accompanied by a letter signed by the service station operator,-who had said he must have made a mistake in hi* accounts. The Mayor also stated that after placing the matter before Crown Attorney Craig McKay, Woodstock, the latter had stated he wanted at least a week to consider the matter before deciding what charges if any, might be laid. Councillor . Riley claimed that according to the figures he had there had been 40 items falsified over a period of 9 months, yet the chair­ man had passed these accounts and cheques had been issued. He sug­gested that the people of the town would like to know the Mayor’s per­ sonal opinion of the transaction.

WOODSTOCK - ONT. as the evidence he had seen there was no gas used by any member of the council and no collusion between any parties. In view of the fact that the matter had been left with the Crown Attorney for his opinion, the letter and money were being held by the clerk on his order. Any Other Business Following the adoption of the committees’ reports, Councillor Riley again took the floor and produced a sworn statement by Supt. Frank Cotterell, which told-where the over­ plus of gas had been used and im­ plicated Mayor Daniel and Councillor Morrison along with chairman Smith. Councillor Morrison was asked for a statement regarding the matter and he summed the situation up as ridic­ ulous. “The council meeting was not a judical court, there is no judge, and we are merely going round in circles with opinions—No, I will not make a statement, I will at the proper time,” said he. He suggested that if Councillor Riley was interest­ ed sufficiently that he should lay charges then all would be forced to answer rather than evade the issue. Councillor Riley laid the blame on the Mayor who also co-incided with the remarks of Councillor Morrison. Mayor Daniel brought up the matter of garbage being dumped on private property north of the river, I also of having ordered it removed by the Board of Works men and cleaned up. He had been informed that more refuse is being dumped [on the property in spite of sign* and suggested police acton. Police Affair* Chief Alex Callander was present and presented a lengthy report on police administration in IngersoB to the council. In his remarks he sug­ gested that the force was inadequate and lacked modern equipment for good protection. He advocated that when estimates are struck that the- police department be brought to a more efficient place by the addition of two more men, the purchase of a police car and that the wage rate be increased to a proper standard. On motion of Councillor* Bower and Smith, the request of the chief was referred to the police commit­ tee for consideration and a report at the next regular meeting. Council adjourned at 9.30.

MOUNT ELGIN Hello Homemakerat Never a day dawns but we have unexpected duties to perform, or contributions to make towards patriotic work — which do require time. Business women, war workers and busy homemakers should, first of all, make contribu­ tions toward their specific job of serving adequate meals in order that time, electricity and expense are saved. It saves a lot of worry, too, if a few plans and preparations am previously accomplished. Many of us know what can be done but forget about them until the last minute. With this in mind we list a few suggestions: 1. Boil a piece of beef shank while you are having dinner one night to have ready to put rice or pot barley into it the following eve­ ning for soup. 1 2. Stews may be made the night ’ before and reheated for serving. In 1 fact, many people think they are 1 better on the second day than on the first This also applies to Boston baked beans. 3. Make white sauce, a quart at a time, and store in the refrigerator. You will use it often for sauces, for vegetable or fish; as a basis for cream soups or scalloped dishes. 4. Dry bread in an oven after heat has been turned off. Prepare a supply of crumbs for topping scal­ lops, crumbing fish, cutlets, cro­ quettes, etc. 5. Have a quantity of biscuit mix (flour, salt, baking powder and shortening.) in a covered bowl in the electric refrigerator, ready to add liquid and turn into baking powder biscuits or the base for an oven dessert such as a shortcake; dump­ lings; apple pinwheels or fruit dumplings; or os a crust for meat or fish pies. 6. Pastry may be prepared wrapped in waxed paper and stored in the lower part of the electric re­ frigerator. Made into a pie shell the night before if a butterscotch •r lemon pie is to be served. To oonserve time, prepare one crust pies. 7. Desserts may often be pre­ pared the night before serving—cust­ ards, gelatine dishes, etc. Swoot Dw-pli«n Mi cup molasses, 1-3 cup sugar. 2 tablespoons each flour and butter, teaspoon nutmeg, IMi cups hot water, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 Mi cups flour to make into biscuit dough.

They are the result of our own darkness of soui. They arise out of our own desire to hurt those who have hurt us or those dear to us. But if we remember that such thoughts harm us much more than they can ever harm those whom we,for the moment, are hatfne, we shall be the better able to curb them and thrust them back into the dark caves of the mind where they belong. No thought that could possibly hurt an­ other comes unbidden to the mind. Such thought is generated by the mind, nutured by the mind and fin­ ally expressed by it. We are not im­ prisoned by our dark thoughts; they lie imprisoned in us and the goaler of them is good and dean thoughts, whether it is our own or the inspir­ ational that forever seeks to impinge itself on our own.

McGregorI We are all impressed at one time A. McMurrich> or another by flashes of inspiration, ' ideas that spring unheralded into the , quiet mind, or as the result of ' thought-seed planted in the fertile and prepared soil of the receptive mind. It is wise to act on such im­ pulses, for they are good and portend good for those involved. Many a kind word has been left unspoken, many a letter left unwritten, many a deed neglected, because the mo­ ment of inception of the thought or idea has been allowed to slip by with­ out action being taken. How often we have regretted that we didn’t act as the thought prompted, and how seldom has prompt action on our part been in vain. Courage that might have flagged has been fanned by some­ one’s hopeful words into fierce flame again. Despair has been pushed aside when someone, inspired to say the right thing at the psychological moment, has not delayed in saying it. Many a man has gone on to amazing success because someone had an inner urge to encourage rather than to criticize adversely at a mo­ ment when success was seemingly un­ obtainable. The right word at the right time has saved life and ambi­ tion and hope and has been the im­ petus needed to make these things continue to the end. No one can know from where these impulses spring, or why they should so spring at unguarded moments. They may be born deep in our sub­ conscious mind, as some like to be­ lieve, or they may come to us from some source outside the individual mind, which at the moment and for reasons unknown to us, is receptive to them. Whichever it is, it is in­ variably good and good to be acted upon, and that directly.

But we orchestra composed of George Mc- can steam practically all vegetables and as they are not in the water, only the vitamins destroyed by heat (about 10% Bl) are lost. If ;we boil the vegetbales and throw the water away as most of us do, vitamin C and members of the vita­ min B complex are lost because they are waiter soluble. Most of us cook vegetables in "too much water but science tells us they need be just covered with water. In the case of leafy vegetables just the water that clings to the leaves after washing is necessary. We should divide vegetables into two classes: 1. The leafy vegetables, chard, spinach, cabbage, broccoli and strong flavoured vegetables such as onions, turnips and Kohlrabi are cooked without a cover. 2. The other ones, beets, car­ rots, corn, parsnips, peas, potatoes, salsify, sqpash, string beans are cooked with a cover.

The best dressed women of 1944will be better -dressed, better look­ lag and better groomed than they ware in 1943 because—they’ve learned more. Yea, looking smart in wartime calls for plenty of ingenuity comb, brushes, etc., altogether is to buy a shoe bag and tack it up on the back of your bedroom, bathroom or cupboard door.Do rayon hose slip around on your legs? Try applying a touch of vanish­ ing cream or hand lotion to your legs before putting on stockings. This not only keeps your hose smooth, but prevents roughness or chapping to your legs. And here’s a a hint about washing your rayons. Avoid strong soaps and cake soap rubbing. Dirt washes "off" your ray­ on stockings, not “out" of them. Just dip your stockings in mild, safe suds that are safe for anything safe in water alone. Are you having trouble finding a xipper for that new dress? What about using one from an old hand- ■ bag? Almost everyone has one or two old bags or purses that are quite beyond repair—but equipped with a zipper. What part of your rubbers wears out first? The heels! It’s a simple task to cut out the whole heel with large scissors and give yourself a brand new pait of toe rubbers. Remember those early war rum­ ours of no more lipsticks, no more fancy powders until after the war? Well, we’ve still got our lipsticks and we’ve still got our face powders, due to the co-operation of cosmetic manufacturers and Government of­ ficials—but it’s up to us wartime gals to see that we don't infringe upon cosmetic regulations by wasting any of the ingredients used in our make­ up preparations. Alcohol and glycer­ ine are vitally needed in wartime clothes comfort. Here are a fewhints: Place large. flat pl*c*« atbottom—»h**ta, blanket*. etc., andfold to fit full site of trunk.

Lay dresses, suits and all clothing flat, alternating tops and hems of dresses this distributing thicknesses. Fill in the corners and sides of your trunk with shoes, fitting all break­ able bottles, cosmetic jars, playing cards, etc., into the shoes. And now a short summary of rules: Rule 1— All materials should be placed at bottom of trunk—flat, not folded. Rule 2—All bulky things such as jars, bottles, shoe* should be at top of trunk, fitted together whenever possible. Rule 3. Take your time. Rule 4—Never, never pack dirty clothes. Have a go with soap and water before you begin packing, and wash all the household linen you intend taking, in soapy-rich suds that give the whitest wash without the hard rubbing and scrubbing that wears clothes out. If some of your, . things aren’t washable, have them dry-cleaned—the clean clothes will pick up dirt through contact with the grubby ones. P. Stratton with a f*ir crowd.

Doing Your Own Dry Cleaning It’s smart and it’s practical these days to give your dry cleaner a break and do a spot of cleaning now and then yourself on yoar non-wash- able garments. Most beginners, how­ ever. find that they ukeja great deal of cleaning fluid in tKe process. They wonder if they can use the same cleaning fluid to do two or more gar­ ments. The answer is Yes—and simply, too. Just use a piece of a thin fabric as a sieve and ppur used liquid through, thus filtering dirt out. Be sure the thin fabric you use as a filter is spotlessly clean.

Here are a few easy-to-follow rules which will help you streamline your dish­ washing. Start by putting every­ thing in order. Confusion slows you down. Have you put the pans to soak? ’ Is you sink free of refuse, counter wiped clean.?1 Are left-overs in ice-box? Now scrape and stack dishes. Once this step is accom­ plished your order is simply: 1. Whip up a good thick batch of “soapy- rich, grease-dissolving suds"; 2 ’ Rinse; 3. Dry with a fresh towel. A good order in washing is glassware first, then silver, plates and other china, finally your pots and pans which have been soaking.
