B« McLaurin OF INDIA SubMV "THE WAR and MISSIONS IN INDIA and BOLIVIA” Come and hear thia greatpulpit orator. Mr. P. B. Latrobe of Ontario Safety League, Addressed Pupils. The fact that a war is being waged on the home front of Canada against the causes of a higher casu­ alty list than that of the global w-ar, was stated by Mr. P. B. lotTrobe, field secretary of the Ontario Safety League. Ingersoll Collegiate and Vic­ tory Memorial School were visited on Tuesday, while Princess Elizabeth School and Sacred Heart School were visited on Wednesday in the interests of the Safety League. The speaker stated that while statistics show casualties in the army averages one in every eight min­ utes, they average one in every 314 seconds on the home front. One per­ son is killed by accident every six minutes in Canada and the United States. The message of safety was pres­ ented to the pupils by means of a program of sound films which clearly indicate many of the dangers to be met in every day life and suggest the natural precautions to be taken to avoid accidents. A series of posters and bulletins for the children is also used which will keep the example of safety before the pupils throughout the year. In his addresses Mr. LaTrobe asserted that enough time was lost in 1942 through accidents al6ne to build 850 bombers of the largest size. There were 583 people killed on the streets and highways of On­ tario, where 10,000 accidents took place. There were 1600 fatal falls, 30)000 people were injured by home accidents and some 300 persons lost their lives by drowning in the prov­ ince. Some 25,000 Canadian homes were set on fire through carelessness.

Interest is aroused in the Orator­ ical Contest being sponsored by the Woodstock Rotary Club to be held among Secondary School pupils in Oxford County. The subject is “The Post-War World as I would like it to be." Ingersoll is 1n Zone 4 which ■epmprises Ingersoll, Woodstock and Tillsonburg. Contests have already taken place in the other three Zones and the finals will take place in Woodstock, on Thursday,/March 2nd, Winners have already been declared at Norwich, Embro and Drumbo. The contest in Ingersoll is being held at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church Sunday School - -ofl Wednes­ day, Feb. 23rd, at 8.30. . The subject is a very* appropriate one as much comment is now being heard on Post-War problems. It seems proper that those who are going to be faced with some of the difficulties should have an opportun­ ity ef airing their views. The ideasexpressed may well merit tie consid­ eration of those in authority. It is the hope of the Rotary Club that thia Contest will create discussion 1 and focus attention on what win be I u critical period in our economic and ’ social life. To endeavour to stimulate I interest in public qpcsldng is in itself ’ important and worthwhile. The * choice of subject matter makes the contest doubly so.

If the restricted use of muscle meat causes you to use a greater amount of organ meats, it is a de­ cided advantage to you, nutrition­ ally. You have been informed many times to eat Liver. You ask why, or which—calf, beef, pork—is the most valuable from a nutritional stand­ point? Pork Liver is the richest in food value and is the least expensive. The average Canadian diet may be low in iron, riboflavin and perhaps other vitamins. An average serving of Liver provides you with almost all of the iron and riboflavin needed for a day, more than the daily need of Vitamin A, and is a good source of complete protein.

You must remember that liver re­ quires careful cooking, as overcook­ ing toughens it and destroys the flavour. When you are frying Liver, wipe it first with a damp cloth, then dip in flour to which seasonings have been added, and fry. There are many ways of serving Liver besides frying, so give your family a pleasant sur­ prise next time you serve Liver.

Carpetball League Results Following are the games played in the Carpetbal Leageu last Ij’ridya night: Once again Canada’s 00,000 BoyScouts and Wolf Cubs are observingtheir annual Boy Scout Week fromFebruary 20th to 26th. The purposeof this observance is to bring topublic attention the work of theassociation.The ambition of every Boy Scoutis to attain the rank of King’sScout. This is no mean achievement,and its provisions would stump many a capable and educated adult King’s Scouts were created at the suggest­ ion of King Edward VII, who sug­ gested to Lord Baden-Powell that a high standard of efficiency be reco­ gnized by this badge which is the crown worn on the left sleeve. Here is what a boy must accom­ plish to be a King’s Scout He must first be a First Class Scout which means he must have one year’s ser­ vice, be able to swim, have a savings account, be able to signal in sema­ phore or morse, have a comprehen­ sive knowledge of first aid, cook several kinds of food, including bread over a campfire, be able to read and use a topographical map, be able to properly use an axe for felling and trimming timber, be able to estimate distance, numbers, height and weight with reasonable accur­ acy, train a less advanced Scout, and take the first class journey. This journey is a fourteen mile re­ turn journey by foot or boat, or a 30 mile journey by bicycle, accom­ plished in 24 hours with an over­ night camp. He must carry all his camping kit, cook his meals, write a report and map his entire journey. Having passed all these tests he is ready to become a King’s Scout with the acquisiton of four special quali­ fying proficiency badges. One of these is the Ambulance ’ Badge, the requirements for which are similar to the St. John's Ambu­ lance Badge. Another is the Path-1 ' finder, which provides that the boy ’ must have an adequate knowledge I of the community in which he lives, I making a map showing all streets, ■ fire stations, police stations, schools, public buildings, principal stores, the homes of doctors, historical sites, • and have n knowledge of the history • of the community. In addition he ! must know all the principal high- I ways leading to his community and • a knowledge of the district within a 25 mile radius. t Another King’s Scout Badge is the Cyclist Badge. To earn this 1 the Scout must own a bicycle which • must be fully equipped, and which! he must promise to use in public 3 service if called upon. He must ’ know how to keep it in good running • order, must be able to repair punc­ tures and take the bicycle apart, f clean it and put it together again. ! He must know the rules of the road, b traffic signals, the principal high- 5 ways, and repeat a verbal message ’ after a ride of at least one hour’s duration, and must repass the pro- 3 visions annually. 1 A fourth King’s Scout Badge is f the Rescuer Badge for which he must perform in the water four 1 methods of rescue and three of re- 1 lease from the clutches of a drowning - person; must dive into five feet of 3 water and bring up a weight of not less than five pounds, know artific­ ial respiration, swim out fifty yards and undress in the water; and throw a life line, to within one yard of a small object fifteen yarns away three time out of four. When a Scout has accomplished all these things he is a King’s Scout, and we should say, a pretty useful sort of citizen to have around.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 17, 1944YORKER DOES QUICKMARCH TO GET NEW JOBYou walk into the national select­ive service office over on Kingstreet west, some morning, bent ongetting yourself a job or transferr­ing to a better one.You glance around the front part of the office, and you notice maybe 15 or 20 persons waiting their turn. You look over to the information counter, and start debating with yourself whether you want to spend four or five hours in the place and perhaps not receive attention at all. Well, you decide to give it a try, and you ease up to the man at the information counter. You wait a minute or two—with some misgiv­ ings—while he talks to those ahead Well, you have to wait a minute or two. Then he smiles at you, tells you to sit down, and starts asking you questions. For a moment or two you think it’s the census taker for he asks you a lot of things. Where were you born? How old are you? What are your educational qualifications? You may not like to answer some •f these questions, but you do, for he tells you in a nice way that the application simply shows for what job you are best qualified. You not only have to tell him where you have been working, if at all, but what you are capable of doing. And you have to mention a secondary occupation. The reason for this is that, in the event he : cannot 'refer you to an opening in the line you may wish to follow, he ; he may find a spot for you in the < secondary line. i job in another province, but thesame procedure ha* to be followedj regarding the signing and returningof the permit.Well, you thank the man for hishelp, glance at your watch and learn1 that you've only been in the building1 for about 25 minute*. You can’t helpbut mention this fact, saying that itpuaxles you somewhat.And you add that you had always been made to believe it would take at least four or five hours before you could receive any attention. The man will laugh and tell you that Fred McDermott, the manager had members of the staff check dur­ ing the first two weeks in December, just to see how long it took a person from the time he entered the place before he was able to leave. This was the result of the two- week analysis: The average length of time a man spent in the selective service office when applying for a job or a trans­ fer to another was just 19.08 min­ utes. It took only an average of 11.3 minutes to deal with each woman's request. Post-War Development of National Parks MOUNT ELGIN Well, it’s not taking a great deal •f time. The man fills out an identi­ fication card, hands it to you, and you’re told that you must keep it on your person at all times. This card has what is known as the applicant’s number, and should you go to the selective service at some future time, the first thing you’d be asked is for the number of your identification card. Next you’re supplied with an in­ surance book, if you haven’t already got one, and then a permit is made •ut for you. This permit opens the way for you to accept the job. You must take this permit with fou to your new employer, who will fill it out and return it to the select­ ive service.

Already some public bodies are increasing their appropriation for the develop­ ment of tourist travel—no doubt in anticipation of victory within the next year or two. No one can forecast with any de­ gree of accuracy when the war will end but most people agree that when it does, there will be a greater demand for recreation and travel than this world has ever known. A people, wearied in -body and spirit by the strain of iwar and by heavy responsibilities, ' often unrelieved even by the usual holidays and va­ cations, will want rest and recreation as they have never wanted it before. This surge of recreation-seekers • must be anticipated and the necess­ ary human and physical equipment organized to meet its requirements. Nature has been especially gen- j erous to Canada in providing recrea- i tional areas of great extent and ' variety in widely separated parts of ’ the country. Canada is fSHunate, too, in possessing a system of na- , tional parks which can be used both 1 for the maintenance of health and morale at home and the attraction ’ of tourists from abroad. ‘ In addition to the 26 areas cover- 1 ing more than 29,700 square miles « now uhder federal ownership and 1 administration as national paries, , other areas are being considered for park development. More than 10,000 square miles* in the Yukon J Territory adjacent |to the Alaska ' Highway have been set aside recently j for possible extension of the national t parks system. Two additional sites t have been offered by the Province of ‘ Quebec and one by New Brunswick, (and proposals looking tow establishment of a sea-level Brtish Columbia have been^j It is expected that other 1'^ resentative of 'the most suitable areas for the purpose, will be offered by the provinces. Already a chain of these national parks extends from British Columbia in the West to Cape Breton in the East. It includes some of the finest scenery in the world as well as other features attractive to the vacationist. Post-war development plans in­ clude better arterial and secondary highways leading to the parks, im­ proved highways within the paries, cheaper accommodation available to those of incomes, secondary roads, foot and horse trails in order to ren­ der points of special interest readily acessible, and improved .fire and game protection to meet increased dangers from heavier and more wide­ spread use of the national parks. rd the sussed. s, Yep- WOOD’S MILK COOLERS and MILKING MACHINES Mads Ky Canada** foramoat manufacturer of Jactric farm equip­ ment, Wood • Milk, Coo lara and Milking Machida* give dependable, aa attractive A Wood’* fcQfcinjr Machine win cut your laiUtfai*“• ndlkar «• (hopla to oparata, I* aauly dtaned yoa «*Wood** MQk. “UNDER FIRE THREE” Training under fire teaches men to think under fire.

The truth abeet turnip* has given prominence to this vegetable which keepa us w*U provided during1 the entire winter There are two type* of tur­ nip—white and yellow (rutabaga). The white turnip is milder flavoured but not aa high in food value as the yellow. When the yellow turnip is overcooked it turns dark, is watery and generally unpalatable. As a Canadian product turnips provide an ample amount of Vita­ min C when served raw—combin­ ing the fact that splinters of chilled raw turnip are delicious. They also oontain valuable minerals, provided they are property cooked, i.e., barely oaough water to cover—and the drained-off juices are used in the soup pot. And they are an energy food to serve with meat, fish or eggs. A few extra hints: 1. Combine grated turnip with diced celery, chopped lettuce, cubed apple and salad dressing. 2. Cut turnip into very small pieces to cook. Cook only until tender.3. Cubed, cooked turnip, white sauce (made of part turnip liquid and milk) and cooked sausages make an appetizing dish. 4. When mashing turnips the method is to add 1-2 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. flour, 1-4 cup top milk and mash thoroughly. Add a pinch of nutmeg for another variety. 5. Because of the pronounced flavour of yellow turnip we like to mash it and combine with an equal amount of mashed potato. Scalloped Turnip with Cheese 1 yellow turnip, salt, pepper, flour, 1-2 cup grated old cheese, 1 cup milk, 1 cup bread crumbs. Pare and slice turnip very thin. Cut into quarters. Arrange slices in greased baking dish. Sprinkle each layer with salt, pepper, a little flour and grated cheese. Add milk to come up at least half the depth of the dish. Top with buttered crumbs. Cover and bake in electric oven at 560* for 1 hours. Just before serving remove cover to allow erumbs to brown.

O f Interest to Women Make Your Own Handy Aprons Now that pinafore fashions are coming into their own, there’s noth­ ing to stop you, with the aid of a pattern cut from newspaper, from making an assortment of aprons, all of which can be easily laundered in “extra soapy suds.” The snack apron can be a dainty affair in muslin, or­ gandie, or voile, with pastel bindings. Or from an old-fashioned crazy quilt you might borrow the idea of com­ bining gay pieces left over from housedresses. A frivolous rainbow dirndl effect is given if you sew bright strips of different colors to­ gether and gather them into a waist­ band. For more practical use, try a large square of flowery chintz, with a pocket running the full length of the hem. This handy apron will keep lint and threads from sticking to your dress while you’re sewing or knitting. To meet those grimmer cleaning tasks that come up from time to time, make yourself a sturdy apron of bed ticking or checked denim with capacious pockets.

Eooocruy afoe jar |2j00l Hand towels and tea towels have a habit of becoming grey after con­ tinued use. Don’t discard them merely for that grimy look. Greyed or very dirty towels (the kind Jimmy brings back from camp!) can be whitened by an emulsion made of equal parts of kerosene (coal oil), clear lime water and turpentine. Shake together until creamy. (To get the lime water, pour clear water on chloride of lime. Let stand for 24 hours and* pour off). Add a cup­ ful of the emulsion to the water in a boiler full of towels and keep over the fire for half an hour. Let towels stand five or ten minutes before washing them in hot water and “soapy-rich, grease-dissolving” suds. Rinse in water of the same temper­ ature and. hang out to dry. If it's winter, and the towels freeze in drying, so much the better, as freez­ ing is one of the best ways of bleach­ ing clothes white. Treatment of Minor Bum* Bums are almost as frequent as falls in the list of accident* in the home. If the bum is serious, you should- call a doctor. But if it is slight, here is s simple treatment used in the aPmed services, and in many industrial plants. Before treating the bum, wash your hands thoroughly with a mild “whipped cream lather" soap. Then cleanse the burned area gently with the same pure, mild soap and water. Do not break any blister*. Cover the area with fine sterile gauze epated with petrolatum (petroleum jelly), and bandage firmly but not tightly with a thick dressing.

She will avoid the disappointment of finding it yellowed past its original loveliness if she stores it carefully— folding it over several sheets of blue tissue paper and packing in its orig­ inal box. Or she can make use of an old sheet, freshly-laundered in “soapy-rich” sud, and then dyed blue. To keap it crisp and white, her veil of tulle or lace should be rolled over waxed paper, then wrap­ ped in blue tissue paper or blue sheet. It’s a good idea to hang both dress and veil in fresh air and sun­ shine a couple of times a year before packing them away again. “They March Better On Tea” Commandos march better on tea than on water. This fact has been demonstrated by an official test recently carried out in Great Brit­ ain. A Canadian battalion was under­ going a 12-days’ course of battle training. The last six days .were de­ voted mainly to marching, and dur­ ing the period the foot-sloggers covered more than 280 miles. As an experiment, three out of four plat­ oons were allowed to get all the water they wanted. The members of the fourth platoon were kept entirely off water and were served only with tea. The “water platoons” made good use of their water bottles, but the “tea platoon" was the only one to finish the course intact. Which only goes to show that there must be something in the soldier's traditional liking for “a cup of rosie lee”. —Extract from the “Tea and Rubber Mail.” Fertilizers Freight Costs During 1943 subventions were paid on fertilizer used on crops con­ sidered essential in- feeding live stock—pastures field corn and en­ silage crops, feeds grains and man­ gels and turnips. This program lapsed at the end of 1943. The new plan which will apply to fertilzers used in crop production in 1944 instead of paying subventions on fertilizfers used on specified crops, equalizes the freight cost of all fertilzers shipped to local distribution points ’/here farmer* take delivery,1 and will~en- able farmers in different localities to buy fertilizer at practically the same cost The plan applies to the Maritime Provinces, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, and will be administered by the Fertilizer and Pesticides Administrator. HEALTH LEAGUE ofCANADANUTRITIONSomeone onee said that a “touch of imagination and venturesome spirit" were two requirements of a good cook. After all, without a pinch of imagination and a desire to try something new or different once in a while, meals are apt to become pret­ ty monotonous. Especially is this true at the present time when the variety of foods available is limited. Vegtables suffer, more than most other foods, from lack of imagina­ tion on the part of the cook. Take cabbage for instance—how many way* do you serve it to your family? Here are some ways it can be ser­ ved with very little effort. First, we have Five Minute Cabbage. Shred the cabbage very fine, and cook covered, for 5 to 7 minutes in a little, rapidly boiling water. Serve it in hot tomato sauce, hot cheese saucs, or just plain with a little bat­ter. When you cook cabbage in thismanner, quickly in a little water, it tonot limp, tastelere or soggy; it'sslightly crisp and delicious.Cabbage lends itself also to ■scallop. Try it in alternate layeniwith cream sauce, and if possible,add about 2 tablespoons of chopped celery. Sprinkle with breadcrumb*. It’s good. Or try alternating layers of cab­ bage and thinly sliced apple, seasoned with salt and pepper and, if th* apples are very sour, a tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle the top layer of thto scallop with crumbs, dot with ■ tablespoon of butter, and bake In a moderately hot oven at 375* for 30-40 minutes, or until tender. It has a taste that is faintly rent- iniscent of saurkraut. “Hello, <Smith, old man.

At one of Ontario’s Blood Donor Clinics, one of the consistent blood donors is a man whose son was overseas in the air force. The father was contributing his blood at home, while the son was offering his life abroad. One day the son’s plane made a forced landing and be was badly injured. The first thing that was done for him as he lay on the ground was to give him a blood transfusion. The transfusion was still being continued as he was car­ ried off to the hospital. Today the boy is home again and his father gives thanks for the blood bank. Whether it was his (blood that helped to save the life of his son or that of other donors, he knows that his blood will be used to save some father’s son, and he knows what that means. This is only one of many cases. Men now lying in military hospitals in every area of the war, owe their lives to the co-operation of science and the Canadian public to make the blood bank possible. With the open­ ing of the western front, it is prob­ able that tremendously increased demands will be made on the reserves of life-giving serum. If men who would otherwise die are to live to return to Canada, the reserves must be maintained. The response which this will call for from the people of Canada may be realized when it is understood that one transfusion requires the blood from five donations—as much as one donor gives in a whole year— and that a badly wounded man may receive fifteen transfusions — the equivalent of 76 donations. For this reason a special effort is being made to enroll several hundred new blood donors in Ingersoll and district among people who are between 18 and 60 years of age. Any who desire to serve their country in this way should fill out the registration form elsewhere in this issue of The Tribune. For those who hesitate because of the fear that the operation may hurt, it may be said that, it is a painless procedure. Checks are made at and previous to the clinic to assure that anaemic would-be donors will not be deprived of blood they cannot spare. The men who are fighting and who haven’t boggled over the thought that their wounds may hurt, require almost double the number of blood donations that they are getting. That over half a million blood donations were re­ ceived in Canada last year and that over 400 donors are registered at the Ingersoll Clinic is evidence that don­ ating blood is not a war effort re­ served for a selected group of phy­ sical supermen but is rather the privilege and duty of every Ingersoll man and woman in normal health. If a badly wounded man in person were to ask for blood and life, there are few who would refuse him. They make this request through the Can­ adian Red Cross. They themselves are too busy to ask. Rev. J. B. McLaurin, D.D.To Speak in Baptist ChurchRev. J. B. McLaurin, D.D., whowill apeak in the Baptist ChurchSunday evening next, is a son of thelate Dr. J. McLaurin and Mrs. Mc-taurin who went from Woodstockto India for Foreign Missionary workand both of .whom spent their entireactive life fa that work in India. After retirement Mrs. McLaurin made her home in India and is bur­ ied there. Dr. J. B. McLaurin and his two sisters all followed their parents as missionaries and one sister, Miss Kate McLaurin, has also retired after a complete life spent fa India. His younger sister, Mrs. (Dr.) Gordon Jury, was with her husband, an American Baptist Medical Missionary in Burma and with him refused evac­ uation before the Japanese preferr­ ing to remain with their people in their trouble. They finally escaped with their lives and are now in a Medical .School in North India. Dr. McLaurin was head of the Canadian Baptist Missionary Educational work in India, until he was called home to take the direction of the Canadian Baptist Missionary work. He is one of the finest pulpit ora­ tors in Canada and .when he was the anniversary speaker in the local Baptist Church a few years ago the church was packed. He will speak on missionary work with special emphasis of the effects of the war and the invasion of Burma and the closing of the Burma Road; on the work in India and the effects of the revolutions in South America on missionary work there.

As the Big 4 Hockey League schedule draws to a close the effic­ iency of the teams becomes more evident. Belmont and Ingersoll play­ ed to a 5 all tie on Friday last and Burgessville and Tillsonburg played to a 2-all tie on Monday. This leaves only one game to play to finish the schedule which is billed to take place Friday of this week with Ingersoll and Tillsonburg being contenders. If Ingersoll can win this game the schedule will end with a three-way tie for leadership and Tillsonburg trailing. Should the Pan Drieds take the honors there would be a tie for first place with Belmont and Bur­ gessville each having seven points and Ingersoll and Tillsonburg would be tied with 5 points each. When the play-offs come up there will ba some interesting games with four teams so evenly matched. Till­ sonburg had a bad start but are evi­ dently in the pink of condition now and a real battle royal is anticipated on Friday of this week.

The local association, St. James’ Church Girl Guides, held its annual meeting recently. Mrs. W. A. C Forman was re-elected as presi dent and Mrs. G. R. Heenan as sec­ retary-treasurer. The secretary’s re­ port of the year’s activities of the Guides and Brownies, showed an en­ rolment of 33 Guides, under the leadership of Capt. Florence Wil­ liams and three Lieutenants. The Brownie pack has a membership of 30, with Mrs. Stanley Turner as Brown Owl and Miss Margaret Wilson, Tawny Owl. Each group be­ gins its meeting with a gymnasium period under the guidance of Mr. James West, the Y.M.C-A. secretary and took part in the gymneana arranged by him in the Spring. With the Scouts and Cubs, they held a rally in the Parish Hall, which was attended by Miss Matthews, Divis­ ional Commissioner for Middlesex and Elgin. Another visitor was Mrs. Wayne Conner, Field Secretary for Ontario. She spent two days in town in December, attended a specially called meeting of the Guides and had several talks with the leaders about the most effective ways of planning and carrying out their work. Seven Brownies were promoted to Guides in 194>3 and four of these have passed their tenderfoot tests. Five Guides passed their second class tests and all the second class Guides arc working on their first-class tests. Of these, five have passed their cook­ ing test, one has her needlewoman badge, two the ambulance badge. Several are knitting socks to qualify for the knitter's badge. Three of the Guides are helping out in the war­ time shortage of workers at the local hospital by working in the kitchen for two hours each day after school. One of these girls has just completed one hundred hours of work without pay. This will entitle her to her war worker's badge. The Guides have made various articles of clothing as war-work and are working on a patch-work quilt and an afghan. The Brownies held a penny carnival which was well patronized by the school children and some of the grown-ups. The Local Association is hoping to be able to send some of the Girt Guides to camp this year. Only sec­ ond class Guides can go to camp and the hope that camp may be possible is proving a great incentive to the girls to complete their testa.
