SMITHRESIGNS FROM COUNCILTwo By-laws For Shorter Business Hours Defeated at Monday’s Session of TownCouncil. The resignation of Stanley J. Smith as a member of the municipal council was read at Monday night’s meeting of that body. The resignation, read by Town Clerk McNiven, came as a surprise, although it had been considered in some quarters, it was later stated as a possibility. The resignation was accepted to take effect “after the meeting”. Acceptance of the resignation was moved by Councillor Geo. Preston and Councillor W. C. Watson. Mayor K. R. Daniel-3-“Maybe we should take the yeas and nays.” Councillor Smith—“I desire it be accepted.” Mayor Daniel then declared the motion carried. A by-law was introduced by Councillor Harry T. Bower to pro vide for the early closing of shops in which groceries are sold. The by-law was considered in com mittee of the whole .with Councillor Thomas J. Morrison in the chair. The closing hours were set forth in the by-law and the penalty for vio lating the by-law was set not to ex ceed $50 exclusive of costs. ■Councillor George Preston advan ced the opinion that in cases where groceries were not the main line sold, that the store or stores undei such conditions should not be com pelled to come under the by-law. He referred specifically to fruit stores. He mentioned that at the fruit stores some groceries were handled and he had been of the opinion that in the event of the by-law being passed that the stores would not have to close, that it would close off the grocery section and do business as usual in the other lines. He consid ered it was important that the fruit stores be open al night. “If the main business is selling fruit I would maintain then that the entire shop should not be closed”, contended Councillor Preston. Councilor Preston also went so far as to say, "I think it would be a benefit to the whole town if these stores were allowed to remain open ■ and sell what groceries they have. Mayor Daniel remarked that he did not agree with what Councillor Preston had said. In this case he said 90 per cent of the merchants had signed the petition and the coun cil had no other alternative. .Councillor Thomas Morrison hoped those who had signed the petition did so after mature consideration. He was of the opinion "that the teeth in the by-law did not look like consideration for the public.” Councillor George Preston asked that the names on the petition be : read. The petition w*« obtained in his office by Town Clerk McNiven and the names on it read. Councillor Charles W. Riley said that a by-law might be put through ' that woqld do harm so far as the interests of the public were con cerned. He said everyone was liable to forget something that was necess ary. He also stated that it was nee- 1 (Continued oil page 2) LARGE CROWDS ENJOYEDHILARIOUS PRODUCTION TWO LARGE BARNSBURN IN WEST OXFORD Mrs. Erwood Kerr, HostessTo St Columba W.M.S.

VARIETY PROCRAM GIVEN BY PRESBYTERIAN CHOIR A concert of unusual merit and enjoyment was presented by St. Paul's Presbyterian choir on Monday evening. The numbers .were of a variety that appealed to the audi ence and the personnel of the choir responded whole-heartedly to the justifiable applause. The program opened with a select ion on Bagpies and Drum, “Road to the Isles,” by Pipe Major Alex Col lins and son Bobby, and as an encore they played "Atholl and Briedalbane Highlan'dcrs.” • The programme was arranged for the numbers to be presented in groups of two, and each item was applauded and encores were given with the exception of choir and quartette numbers. Solo ists who contributed to the pro gramme were Mrs. E. J. Chisholm, Miss Ethel Simpson and Miss Bar bara Staples, sopranos; Mrs. Robt. Wark, contralto; Sergt. A. D. Pud well, John Sutherland, baritones; A. H. Edmonds, tenor. Pianoforte numbers by Miss Barbara McLeod and Sergt. Pudwell were also en joyed, while a mixed quartette com posed of Mrs. E. J. Chisholm, Mrs. R. Wark, A. H. 'Edmonds and A. D. Pudwell contributed two folk songs. For the solos, Mrs. L. W. Staples and Sergt. Pudwell were the ac companists and Mr. Pudwell presided at the organ for the choir numbers. The choir selections were except ionally well received, the first group, “Drink To Me Only with Thine Eyes,” arranged by Dr. Fricker, and "Hush Thee My Babie,” by Sir Arthur Sullivan, bringing out the talent of the choir and the second group of a lighter nature being “The Goslings” and “The Mermaid” by Fricker, showed a decided versatility. Following the condert, the choir was entertained at home of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. MeE^od and Miss Barbara McLeod, After a social per iod, during which refreshments were served, the thanks of the choir wore extended to the hosts for their hospitality and this was ac knowledged by Mr. McLeod yrho complimented the members on their performance of the evening. Both Wednesday and Thursday evening of last week found the St. James' Parish Hall packed to capa city for the presentation of the play, "Henpecked Henry”, (produced by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd.) The spontaneous ap plause that greeted the presentation was evidence of the enjoyment of the entire play. Every member of the cast did a splendid job with special mention due to Mias Helen Hawkins, as the domineering -wife of Henry Hyde. The comedy of the play served as a splendid change to those who are facing these difficult times. The “plot” started in an incon spicuous manner and "by an error in a telegram drastic action was taken by Mrs. Ellen Hyde and Henpecked Henry was the target for her wrath. In the final act, the wind turned and Henry, (Alan Horton), pulled himself together and asserted him self as the head of his awn house and master of his destiny. The directress, Mrs. C. K. Long, was presented with a gift on Thurs day evening in appreciation of her services. Scarcely any prompting was nec essary and this too was a real tribute to the players and di.*ectress alike, for the dilogue was fast and tricky and there were no hesitations in the entire presentation. (The scenes were charming and here too was another evidence of the , care given by Miss Margaret Arkell, who was in charge of properties and .to Mrs. Harry Gillespie, Mrs. Clark ’ Pellow, Mrs, James Brewer and John ! Merrill, stage management. The j sound effects and curtain arrange ments were in charge of Mrs. L. Macnab, and C. K. Long was in charge of make-up. Mrs. James i Brewer and Mrs. Harold Wilson were ’ in charge of publicity and Mrs. H. G. Gillespie for the tickets. The stage sets were used through the 1 courtesy of the Little Theatre Guild. 1 Special thanks went to Mrs. Fred 1 Burchell who contributed some very fine piano selections before the play commenced and during the brief in termissions and also to Mrs. H. H. * Mac Bain who most charmingly read ’ the prologue of the play. 1 Rev. H. E. Merifield welcomed the audience and expressed appreciation for the production by the Evening Guild.

OXFORD and NEARBY COUNTY ITEMS Embro—At a meeting called by Reeve F. E. Day, the ratepayers de cided to purchase fire fighting equip ment. The purchase will be made co-operatively with the Township of West Zorra and will be done right away. St. Thomas—Fire that burned away a stairway-forced ten people to evacuate a building by ladden last Friday. The fire came as civic authorities were considering whether to allow the ofcner of the building to build a fire escape over the street allowance. The work had been started some time ago. The stairway was the only other means of exit Restaurant stock and 20 bags of rationed sugar were destroyed. Two barns on the farm of George M. Nancekivell, two miles south of Ingersoll, on Highway No. 19, were > completely destroyed by fire on Sun- ' day. Large quantities of grain, hay ! and straw were consumed by the ■ flames, together with some imple ments and 11 pigs perished. The fire which started in the main building; was detected about 11.30 - a.tn., and although a number of the 1 nearby residents quickly rallied to ’ give assistance there was little they could do to arrest the progress of the flames. Under the circumstances,1 efforts were quickly directed to res cuing the cattle from the main buil ding and also to removing some of the implements. All the cattle were saved as were the horses and the implements that were in the other barn, only some 20 feet from the main building. No definite information was ob tained as to the origin of the fire, which was said to have started in the upper part of the main building. The flames spread very rapidly and before they had reached the ajoin- ing building it was realized that both buildings were doomed. The barns were located on the west side of the highway while the Nancekivell residence is directly opposite on the east side. Frantic efforts were made to rescue the live- , stock and as many of the implements as possible before the flames reached the peak of their fury. The heat was intense as the two buildings burned, : but the workers achieved more suc cess than at one time seemed possible. , A small chicken house and an im- , plement building at the north-west corner of the main building were , saved through the liberal manner in which water and snow .were applied. , Although no estimate of the ex- :tent of the loss was made It is gen- :erally realised that it will be heavy. The loss is partially covered by in- , surance. , Owing to the destruction of the ■ buildings it was learned that it will be necessary to dispose of the dairy :herd, temporary accommodation for ; which was said to have been pro- , vided at the farm of Burton Harris, (west of Salford. .

McLaurin Was Guest Speaker At Ingersoll BaptistChurch. Rev. J. B. McLaurin, who devoted his life towards missionary work in India, until a few years ago, and who has now been called home to Canada to assume the leadership of Canadian Baptist Foreign Missionary activities, was the guest speaker at the Inger soll Baptist Church Sunday evening. He gave a very fine address based on the question "Has the present war rendered missions out of date." His answer was emphatically no—in fact, it has made their stronghold even more definite than ever and after the war, Christianity will, he be lieves, flourish "like a forest fire.” Dr. McLaurin believes firmly that the Christian churches and mission fields in the foreign countries— Japan, Burma, India, China, For mosa, South American countries, can survive the awful chaos and state of unrest and invasion into which most of them have ibeen plunged by the forces of evil today, and that foreign missions will flourish as never be fore because of their flrm "stand in the face of famine, hunger, persecu tion and aggression in the hands of invading hordes. In closing, Dr. McLaurin told of progress of the work of missionaries in Bolivia and other South American countries and urged that all make efforts to assist in whatever way possible so that the work of missions might go forward with much greater zeal after the war is won. The service was in charge of Rev. G. A. McLean. Rev. David Alexander of Salford, was present to assist and there were many visitors present from Beachville, Folden’s and West West Oxford, as well as from other Ingersoll churches. The choir, under the direction of Mrs. J. W. McKinney, contributed an anthem, and Mrs. McKinney and Miss Mabel Thomson sang a duet. Rev. W. E. V.

He considered it regrettable that the Retail Merchants* Association could not get their heads together and agree upon something among them selves without putting the onus oi the council.

Sunday School By Post Oxford and Brant Deaneries not wish to close the stores that were not selling groceries exclusively. He added: “In view of what I have heard regarding an amendment I am going to vote against the by-law.” Councillor Smith said he under stood the fruit stores could remain open provided they did not sell from the grocery stocks. A motion for the passage of the by-law resulted in Mayor Daniel asking for the yeas and nays. On the vote the by-law was defeated 5 to 1. The vote was as follows: For, Watson; against, Riley, Preston, Daniel, Smith, Bower. Robert Carr, president of the Re tail Merchants’ Association, said from what he knew of the situation the grocers were not trying to close up the fruit stores, but merely try ing to regulate the hours during which they could sell groceries. He said he understood a fruit store could remain open until 10 o’clock at night. The explanation was offered by Councillor Thomas Morrison who was presiding, that the grocers had had an opportunity to change the by-law but had not done so A second by-law of a similar nature pertaining to shops retailing meats, was also introduced. After being duly considered in committee of the whole, it also was defeated by the same division as the first by-law. At this juncture Councillor W. C. Watson voiced a complaint. He stated that last year he had had a complaint about the street superin tendent, Frank Cotterell, using the town truck for his personal business. He mentioned the manner in which other complaints had been dealt with as brought up by Councillor Riley and he considered it time to deal with his complaints, which had pre viously been taken up by some of the members of council. Councillor Watson said there had been many complaints about the manner in -which the town truck had been used by Mr. Cotterell. Councillor Watson suggested that the council advertise for a capable man to take charge of the work under the supervision of the Board of Works. He emphasized what he considered the qualifications of a desirable man should be; one famil iar .with cement work, the opening of sewers "and keeping the streets clean. He said that under the system that had prevailed the board of works employees had to be told what to.do. He said the position of super intendent fras one that called for judgment apd experience. Councillor Riley—"It is very in teresting to hear Mr. Watson. I am afraid he does not understand in regard to- the town truck. The shed is not large enough for the truck; that ia the'reason Mr. Cotterell took it to his home, and the ‘Mayor had advised him to take it there.” Councillor Smith said it was re grettable that all the responsibility for the work of the Board of Works was placed upon the chairman. He added: "Mr. Cotterell is going by precedent. I think -Mr.-Cotterell ia a good cement man. As regards the apwxge system you can’t blame Mr. Cotterell.

THE MIXING BOWL• r ANNf AllAMSHOO AWAY WASH-DAYBLUESHello Homemakers! Clothes were once subjected to such brutal treat ment on wash-day that only the sturdiest fabrics escaped the ragbag for very long. Today, homemakers are taking extra precautions with wartime fabrics—this is indicated by the frequent questions asked of The Muring Bowl. The information on these problems may ‘shoo away wash-day blues” for others who have been in the same quandary. What are the proper water tem peratures for washing different fab rics? White cottons and linens can stand the hottest water—nght up to boiling; colored cottons and linens are the next hardiest in the fabric family; woollens and rayons are the babes of the family and should be 1 handled in water of the same temper- ! iiiiit nun ci in. Tiiiari-uniiiiiu iiu LINSEED QUORICE aturv as you would bathe your baby ! washer is not used.I —».voe .k.u>ia k. <- I When and how do you use arater. i bleach? Sunshine will bleach clothe.waitime dried out-nf-dooia White cottonsand Imona may oc asionally need to' be bleached with chemicals in winteri time. Mix the bleach with the flratrinse water according to direction*.Rinse the clothes at least twice afterthe bleach is used. Silks and rayonsshould not be bleached as it weaken*the fibres.Will an artificial bleach affectmy washing machine? Yes, certain artificial bleaches may have a ten dency to pit the surface of the en amel tub. This in time would roughen the surface. Tubs with rust spotsshowing should not be used for bleaching either. What would you do about new fabrics? Read labels carefully. Soak materials in cool salt water for a lew minutes—‘i cup salt per pail of water. Wash new colored articles , separately and as quickly as possible. Dry in a breeze. 1 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE^ THURSDAY, FEB, 24, 1944avurr o yuu wuum KMiinr yvur i-never should they be washed in Ianything but lukewarmHow long do you soakfabri Many people make the mistake of soaking their clothe* overnight. Twenty minutes is long enoughfor white cottons and linens- Neverleave clothes soaking in dirty water.If you are side-tracked from the jobwring the clothes and resoak in freshwater. Colored fabrics should not besoaked.Do snaps make a difference to-day. 1 Decidedly. Rayons, woollens and silks last longer if washed with a mild, neutral soap. Stronger soaps may be ’ used for the general family wash of1 cottons and linens. How much soap is needed to do a family wash? Use enough soap but do not be wasteful. A standing suds of two inches is ideal; use a measur ing cup o find out how much soap is needed, then use the right amount ' each time to be economical. 1 Why use water softeners? Gray ■ and dingy clothes may broadcast the need for a water softener. The min- ' eral salts of hard water unite with soap to form curds; dirt particles combine with these curds and these get caught in the fibres. Soap can soften water if you use enough of it, but this method is expensive and March 1, night rates on long distance unless the rinsing is thorough and.................* the water is hot, it is not successful. Better use a water softener. How many clothes make a load? The manufacturers of electric wash ing machines say: 6-8 lbs. dry clothes make a safe load. For example: 2 sheets, 4 pillow cases and 3 bath towels. Overloading not only puts a strain on the washing machine, but keeps it from producing perfect re sults. A safe guide is: never put in more clothes than will circulate freely. Do you advocate rinsing in the machine? Use the elecric washing if you have one. Operate it five min utes for the first rinse and two or three minutes for the second rinse. I An extra rinse is necessary if the Telephone Night Rates To Begin At 6 p.m. The announcement that from calls will begin at 6 p.m., instead of 7 as heretofore, will be of special in terest to boys and girls telephoning home from camps and barracks all over the country. The change, will be effective also on all lines of the Trans-Canada Telephone System. Two main results are expected from this change—the added conven ience of the longer night rate per iod, and lessened congestion on war busy lines which, becauce of material shortages, cannot be extended. Further, of course, there will be an obvious saving to users through the one-hour’s lengthening of the night rate period. AVON SALFOKD ditty bag*.

Canadian Red Crow Urgently Needs $10,000,000 The Canadian Red Cross National appeal for $10,000,000 opens on February 28th, when the people of Canada will be asked to contribute just as much as they possibly ean to make this objective a certainty. Coming into the fifth year of a wide-spread war, with more Allied countries desperately in need of supplies and comforts of all kinds, the Canadian Red Cross is stepping up production in every department to meet requisitions as they come in. This year there are more prisoners of Aar. .$5,500,000 must be spent on food parcels alone, with an addi tional $1,000,000 for parcels for Allied Red Cross Societies. Dried blood serum Is growing in importance with the advance of our armed forces and $750,000 wiil be required to keep this vital seivice functioning at top speed, as it must.

Thepeoples of the occupied countrieshave been stripped of their possessions. They have literally nothing.With the ending of hostilities, Canadian Red Cross will be faced withan extension of her active warservices.Peacetime commitments have beenkept up. with regard to nursing and first aid outpost hospitals and pub lic health. To meet any eventuality, Canadian Red Cross must stand pre pared. There has never been a time in the history of Canadian Red Cross when there was a greater need for the all-out support from loyal Can adians. Last year the objective was reached . . . and passed. The year the need is greater. Can adian Red Crow is the living link between Canadians at home and kin overseas.

His Excellency, the Chief Scout, has proclaimed the period of February 20-26 for this observance. The pur poses of Scout Week are as follows:1. A Memorial to the Founder of Scouting, Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell. 2. The Re-affirmation of the Scout and Cub promises, 3. To gain the interest, sympathy and support for the Scout pro gramme, and to provide an opportun ity for the public to see Scouting action. 4. To attract new. boys to the Movement. 5. To re-emphasise the aim of Scouting to “replace self with service and to make lads individually effic ient morally and physically. Ingersoll Boy Scouts are joining in this observance and on Sunday, February 20th, the local troops par aded to divine service at the Salva tion Army Citadel. This (Thursday) evening, the Kiwanis Club luncheon programme will be in charge of their Boy Scout Committee and their sepakerw ill be Commisioner Walter Gibson of Big Creek Scouting Dis trict, who, after the meeting will meet with local leaders to discuss their problems. The history of Scouting in Inger soll goes back about thirty-five years, the Charter of the first Ingwsoll Boy Scout Troop being granted in 1910. Since that date, interest has been maintained and to-day the town of Ingersoll boasts two troops of Boy Scouts and two Wolf Packs. The First Ingersoll Troop of Boy Scouts and the First Ingersoll Pack of Wolf Cube being sponsored by St James’ Anglican Church and the Sec ond Ingersoll Troop of Boy Scouts and Second Pack of Wolf Cubs by the local Kiwanis Club. Many of the boys belonging to these organizations have offered their services to their King and Country and some have paid the supreme sacrifice. To appreciate the high motives of the Scout Movement, it is only nec essary to quote its Policy and Rules: “The aim of the Boy Scout Asso ciation is to develop good citizenship among boys by forming their char acters, training them in habits of observation, obedience and self-re liance—including loyalty and thoughtfulness for others—teaching them services useful to the public and handicrafts useful to themselves and promoting their physical, mental and spiritual development.” Surely an organization with such aims should have the whole-hearted support of the community and the leaders given , every encouragement in their worthy efforts. The local Scout Masters are: Victor Brooks and ’ ‘ ' Cubmasters, William Rev. H. Parr. The St. James’ Church Commit tee comprises: Rev. H. E. Merifield, Clark Pellow, (Chairman); F. Bur chell, (Secretary); F. Funnell, (Treasurer); A. E. Izzard, W. Al len, and the Kiwanis Club: E. A. Webber, (Chairman); J. McArthur, (Secretary); L. Hyde, A. Lawrence, W. A. C. Forman, Dr. E. J. Chisholm. — By Jim Greenblat — They must have been expecting excitement or something around the tag end of the Throne Speech because the galleries circling the House have been filled continuously. It looked to me as if the big major ity of ringsiders were from out of town. Attendants have had to stop people more than usual from leaning their elbows on the gallery rail which apparently is against traditional reg ulations. It also shows that folks there were not leaning back and snoozing. Parliament has really been steaming up for the start of the session and it looks as if it’s going to be one of accomplishment. The Prime Minister seems to be pleased that it’s “business before pleasure’’ because in one statement he urged members to broadcast to the nation that Parliament is really “doing something’* instead of belittling its efforts in the eyes of the people.

AUCTION SALE Out in the smaller places everyone seems to have enough coffee to satis fy, but the other day in a restaurant in Ottawa at 7.30 p.m. I .was told by the waitress “No more coffee. We’ve used up our quota for the day.” If you could see the crowds pouring out of offices at meal times you’d won der how they ever had enough coffee till noon. Anyone who feels inclined to do a little harmonized grousing on rea sons for rationing and controlled dis tribution will be surely interested in the figures I got from the Consumer Branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in connection with par cels sent to our prisoners-of-war in enemy countries. The Red- Cross western packing centre has, for in stance, already despatched its mil lionth parcel to our Canadian boys in Germany and Japan. Do your won der what goes into one of these parcels? Well, they've already sent out a million pounds of butter, a mil lion pounds of jam, half a million cans of salmon and half a million pounds of sugar. Besides this, thous ands of pounds of tea and coffee, biscuits, and other rationed goods. All parcels, they tell me, have in cluded chocolate bars, raisins, tin ned meats, soap. This all tells Can adians at-home that there is a reason for some shortages and rationed distribution.
