This trimming evidently did not phase the enthusiasm of the Burgessville boys, because they came back on Saturday night and showed the machinists how goals can be made to count, in a two game series. They showed a com­ plete reversal of form on Saturday and handed out 11 counters to the 4 that Ingersoll was able to put by the goalie. This gives Burgesville the round by 12-11 and gives them the right to go into the finals for the Big 4 championship against Belmont The presence of a robin in the Wellington street area, was reported the latter part of last week. Again the red-breasted harbinger of spring was seen in the west end of town on Sunday. The cheery notes of the robin gave heart to those who saw him and hope for an early spring is again uppermost. The robin was unmindful of the chilly atmosphere. Celebrated Their 25th Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Markham, Wel­ lington street, observed their 25th wedding anniversary on Monday. They were married March 6th, 1919, just one week after Mr. Markham returned from serving in France in World War No. 1. Mrs. Markham was the former Winnifred Eckhardt of Selkirk, Ontario, and they were mar­ ried by the Rev. M. E. Sipie at the bride’s home at Selkirk. They have three children, Grunt and Joan at home and Ronald of Sarnia. The day was spent quietly and during the evening about 60 friends and neighbors gathered at their home and gave them a surprise party and presented them with a beautiful silver tea service and a serving tray to match. The evening was most enjoy- ably spent with music and a social time, delicious refreshments being served by a number of those present. A highlight of the evening was a mock wedding ceremony, which caused much merriment. A beautiful bouquet of flowers from the staff at the Dominion Natural Gas Co. office and other beautiful gifts of silverware were received from the family and friends out of town and a great many beau­ tiful cards were received. 148 DONORS AT MOBILE BLOOD DONORS’ CLINIC Trfday, Much Nth SoYS’ CHORUS ICE HORNING JUNIOR CHOIRS THIRD .

Held ,.|' Enjoyable At Home The regular meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday evening with all members present and Mayor K. R. Daniel presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting and a special meeting held on Thursday, March 2nd, were read and con­ firmed. The special meeting was held to pass a by-law to provide for the nomination and election of a candi­ date to fill the position of Councillor S. J. Smith, whose resignation was accepted at the last regular meeting, The date set for the nomination was Friday, March 10th, and if more than one candidate qualifies the elect­ ion will be held on Monday, March 20th, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Accounts were pssed in each of the departments with the exception of the police committee. Under the heading of enquires, Councillor George Preston asked if there was any statement from the Town auditors regarding 1943 audit. In reply, Mayor Daniel read the opening remarks of the auditors and gave a general coverage of their findings. All accounts were properly entered and moneys accounted for and the balance sheet showed that there had been $4254.58 revenue in excess of the expenditure for the year. On motion of Councillors Morri­ son and Preston, the auditors* report was accepted and the necessary num- er ordered to be printed. A by-law to provide for the rais­ ing and collection of taxes for 1944 was sponsored by Councillor H. T. Cower and C. W. Riley, with Coun­ cillor T. J. Morrison in the chair for the committee of the whole. The rate was set at 37 mills and Mayor Daniel in making an explanation of the rate stated that while it appear­ ed to' be 2 Mr mills higher, yet the raise was due to uncontrollable ex­ pense. There were added amounts .requested for the Board of Educa­ tion, the Board of Health, the Board of Works, the Parks Commission and . the Library Board. These increased demands along with the probability of lower revenue from licenses, and a request for financial assistance to the Alexandra Hospital, because of their deficit, made the increase absolutely necessary. Elsewhere in to-day’s Tribune will be found the itemized estimated expenditure as provided for in the by-law, which was ! passed and numbered 1148. An effort on the part of Councillor 1 C. W. Riley to fulfill an election promise and have the present dog tax i by-law repealed and revert back to ' the tax of former years was defeated. The preliminary forms were spon­ sored by C. W. Riley and H. T. Bower, the latter taking the chair for the committee of the whole on. ■ the by-law. Councillor Riley explained that there had been much discontent last year when the rate for dog taxes had been raised. He said that he believed the original rate of $1.00 for a dog was enough and that the new by-law had not stopped roaming dogs. Councillor Preston said that in the depression days the people had wil­ lingly paid the $1.00 and now with considerably more money being paid in Ingersoll each week he could pot see where there coul£ be any hardship. He accused Councillor Riley of being lax in his duties as chairman of the police committee in 1935 in not having the roaming dogs -taken care of in that year. Councillor Morrison said that the Thamesford members of the I.O.O.F. were hosts to their wives and friends on Friday evening last, in their annual At Home.,A delight­ ful dinner was arranged and served by the members and left nothing to be desired from a culinary point of view. Folio wing the repast a fine muscial program was presented by members of St. Paul's Church choir of Inger­ soll, assisted by Pipe-Major Alex. Collins, son Bobby and daughter Ruth, with bagpipes, drums and Scotch dancing. Vocal solos were were given by Mrs. Robert Wark, Mrs. E. J. Chisholm, Miss Barbara Staples, Miss Ethel Simpson, John Sutherland, A. H. Edmonds and Sergt. A. D. Pudwell, while piano­ forte selections were given by Miss Barbara McLeod. Sergt. Pudwell and Miss Barbara Staples were accom­ panists for the evening. The guests were welcomed by Mr. W. J. Weir who introduced Sergt. Pudwell, as master of ceremonies. After the musical programme dancing and cards were indulged in. The music for the dancing was pro­ vided by Mr. and Mrs. O. Moffatt of Ingersoll. Max Cole Returns Home From Overseas Sgmn. Max Cole, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Cole, corner Martha and Tunis streets, arrived home last week, from overseas where he has been since 19391 Sgmn. Cole, who has been inval­ ided home, took part in the evacua­ tion of the British Army at Brest on June 10, 1940. This expedition was in command of Major B. F. Holmes, E.D., also of Ingersoll. While over­ seas, Sgmn. Cole was a cook with the First Divisional Signals. Before going overseas, Sgmn. Cole was em­ ployed as a baker at Burbriggs* bakery.

St James* Anglican Church par­ ish hail was well filled last Friday evening, despite the rather unfavor­ able weather conditions, for the con- •ert by the Ingersoll Y’s Men’s Boys' Band, under the direction of the leader, A. C. Robinson of London. The boys presented a smart appear­ ance in their trim and colorful uni­ forms and the selection of the num­ bers on the program indicated that they have improved considerably during the past year. The program consisted of the fol­ lowing numbers: Hymn, “Unto the Hills”; “God Save the King”; march, "Solid Front”; waltz, “Mello Moon”; cornet duet, "Carry Me Back to Old Vir­ ginia”, James Miller and John Pet­ rie; reverie, "Dawn”; cornet solo, "Sunset”, Dale Worker; overture, "Alaskan”; clarinet solo, "London­ derry Air”, Barry Walker; march, “Hospitality'’; cornet solo, bine Polka”, Don Young; numbers, “Old Musical Farm” and hymn, "0 God Our Help in Ages Past”.

Mr. Manning, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Manning, gave six numbers: "Old Man River”, “Chang­ ing the Guard”, “Stout Hearted Men”, “Rolling.Down to Rio,” "Cap­ tain Mac” and “Invictus.” How The Council .. Plans Its Expenses Wedding Anniversary Monday, March 6th Belmont — Peter McMillen, the oldest resident of the village, cele­ brated his 93rd birthday on Mon­ day, Feb.'28. Known in his early life as a horsebreeder, he had con­ ducted a stable for hones in the village. On many occasions he re­ calls that he drove a team of oxen to St. Thomas for flour. He has never driven or owned a car, but believes every farmer should have one. He has been married fifty one yean, enjoys travelling and occasionally attends a theatre. Woodstock—The beef producers’ section of Oxford Federation of Agriculture, passed a resolution on Saturday, February 26th, asking that beef rationing be lifted. The follow­ ing Wednesday, the Federal Govern­ ment lifted the rationing of beef. Of three resolutions calling for act­ ion by the beef producers, two have been acted upon as requested, while the third request to have the Ameri­ can market opened for live or dressed carcasses, has not been acted upon as yet. This section of the Federation of Agriculture has just cause to believe they can really get action. Tillsonburg— Lionel Pearson, a life-long resident of the Corinth dis­ trict, died following a brief illness.

He said the teeth of the by-law had not been enforced. This provides for the tag to be worn on the animal and the police given power to impound any and all dogs not wearing such identification. He did not feel that the amount was exhorbitant and felt that the pres­ ent by-law should be given a further test before repealing. Councillor Watson and* Mayor Daniel also each collaborated with the previous two speakers^ Councillor Riley in ..rebfittal, said that he was aware of the fact that the $2.00 fee was not a revenue maker for the town. The tax collec­ tor was paid on a percentage basis and the increase in tax had merely raised his income 100% on the dog tags. He felt that he owed to the electors to try and have the by-law repealed and thereby keep his pre­ election promise. The yeas and nays were taken on the by-law with Councillor Riley voting yea and Councillors Watson, Preston Morrison, and Daniel voting nay. The by-law was defeated by 4 to 1 and council adjourned. The proceedings of council were conducted without the audience that has been in evidence the past two or three sessions, only one spectator and the press representatives being on band for this important meeting. Word has been received that the following, men have arrived over­ seas: Lieut. J. S. Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Taylor, Merritt street; Pte. Wilfred S.

Women who pleaded guilty, but were not found diseased, were re­ leased on payment of fines of $40 and costs. Women who admitted their guilt and were found diseased, were also fined $40 and costa, and then committed to jail for treatment until cured. (The National Veneral Disease Conference held in Ottawa recently asked that when patients were isola­ ted under provisions of venereal disease legislation, that such isolation should be in hospitals, and not in prisons. Federal health authorities have also warned that in efforts to eradi­ cate prostitution, emphasis must be placed on prosecution of “third-party beneficiaries”, at work behind the scenes—the persons operating re­ sorts and those having control of properties. and fewer A’s in the register becauseof Hlnesa.”An adequate "breakfast is a nour­ishing meal that will supply the foodswhich you are not apt to eat in theother meals, and also i» a meal thatis substantial in "breaking the fast”and supplying energy for a new day.An adequate breakfast also containsthe energy-giving foods and the regu­lating foods. It should supply about one-fourth of the daily calories, and should always be considered in planning the day’s meals as a whole. Growing children need to have fruit or fruit juice,, a cooked whole­ grain cereal, occasionally inter­ changed with a ready-to-eat cereal, an egg, toast,’ and all the milk they can drink.

NEVER HAS THE NEED BEEN GREATER Think of I t Yourself TO PAT TAXES PROMPTLY War-time taxes are .necessarily so heavy as to be a financial problem for every Canadian. It is advisable to save money to pay taxes promptly, but if through unforeseen circumstances you find yourself without sufficient cash to meet them when due, a bank loan is probably the best solution to your problem. A loan may actually save money for you by enabling you to avoid penalties for overdue taxes. Our policy in making personal loans is to help Canadian wage-and-salary-earners, professional men and women and busings executives to keep financially fin We therefore make such loans—ar very Io# rates and on easy terms of payment.

PopularNow that make-up bases havetaken their place on milady’s dress­ing table along with her powder and lipstick—even you and I can have a complexion as smooth and glamour­ ous as any pin-up girl’s. That is—if we know our skin type and choose the proper make-up base or founda­ tion for it. When correctly used, a good make-up base gives a velvety, mat finish, covers up small blem­ ishes and imparts a healthy glow. Remembering to start with a clean skin that has been thoroughly cold creamed, then washed with a mild complexion soap to remove every trace of dust, dirt and stale cos­ metics, milady is ready to test dif­ ferent make-up bases. Does her skin tend to be oily? She should stick to the popular wet cake foundation, which has drying tendencies. For the dry skin so prevalent in Canada, there are tinted creamy bases made especially to benefit and protect as well as enhance the delicate dry skin. If one is bothered with the occasional blemish, try a liquid foun­ dation. This gives a somewhat heav­ ier finish and is fine for use on neck and shoulders with the new low necklines. can be removed by sponging imme­diately with warm water. If the stainis a bad one, moisten with water,sprinkle enough borax over stain to make a thick paste and let stand for eight to ten minutes. Rinse with hot water. The best way to remove scorched spots is plain soap and water. Just wash the garment thor­ oughly in warm water and soapy- rich suds and your scorched spot will disappear. Paint and varnish stains are removed by sponging with turpentine, benzine or gasoline. (Keep away from the stove). To take out coffee stains, stretch fabric over- a bowl and pour boiling water through it. Recently repatriated Canadian prisoners from enemy hands stated emphatically that if it hadn't been for the Red Cross food parcels they would have starved to death. Over seven million such parcels have been packed in Canada and shipped overseas since the outbreak of war, supplying energy and hope to such United Nations men as are shown above, working in their prison garden. How to Remove Stain. If you’ve spilled paint on that brand new housecoat, dropped tea on your favourite "date” dress, or scorched the family table napkins— don’t despair! Almost any stain is remarkably easy to remove if you know what to do for it. For iron or rust stains, sprinkle salt over stain, moisten with lemon juice, then ex­ pose to strong sunlight. Tea stains How to Lighten Dark Room. Rooms which are bright and cheery-looking gladden any woman’s heart. If sunlight seldom enters Joi nny’s bedroom or that upstairs ewing-room—a few easy-to-remcm- ber tricks in decoration will make them appear sunny even when they aren’t! To make the most of what­ ever sun enters the room, walls should be painted or papered a light, pastel shade. If furniture is in dark wood, bleach or paint one or two pieces the colour of the walls. Sheer yellow or cream-coloured curtains easily washed in gentle, fine-fabric suds, will give the illusion of sun­ light. Very light window shades will add to this effect. Use draperies spar­ ingly—be sure they hang at the outside of the window frames, pushed well back, so that as much sunlight- as possible can shine into the room. To Keep Kitchen Drawer.

Dynes, passed away at his homd in Toronto early on Saturday. Mr. Dynes who was 62 years of age had spent the greater part of his life in the Verschoyle district, but for the past 20 years had made his home in Toronto, and was highly esteemed and respected. He was a member of St. John’s Lodge, No. 68, A.F. and A.M., Ing­ ersoll. Besides his widow the former Estelle Daniel, who is widely known in the Ingersoll and Verschoyle dis­ tricts, he is survived by a brother Stanley. The funeral was held from his late residence, Soudan Avenue, To­ ronto, on Monday morning at, 11 o’clock, with Rev. C. A. Gowan officiating. A service was also held at the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, Ingersoll, at 2 o’clock, on Tuesday afternoon, with Rev. R. H. Parr of Trinity United Church, in charge. A large attendance of friends and a profusion of floral tributes showed the love and esteem in which deceased was held. A solo, "Some Day We’ll Understand", was feelingly rendered by Mrs. Ray Hunter. The pallbearers were Nor­ man Smith, Charles Daniel, Ernest Daniel, Ray Hunter, Jack Pearsall and Donald Dynes. Temporary en­ tombment took place at the Ingersoll Mausoleum. One of the fine things being done by the Canadian Legion in Ottawa is the organized meeting of all trains carrying Canadian service folks coming back from overseas; refresh­ ments, cigarettes and pretty girls make an appreciated welcome at the capital. The City Council is co-oper­ ating with the Legion in this work.• • • Some idea of the great cost of government is revealed in one seem­ ingly insignificant item. Do you know that window cleaning in government buildings in Ottawa during 1943 cost $33,223.15. In 1938 it cost $16,- 160.05, which gives one some con­ ception of the many new temporary buildings which have been necessary to the war economy.• • • Owing to lack of accommodation, when a serving officer or soldier wants' his family in Canada to move to Newfoundland he must now sub­ mit an application to N.D.H.Q., who in turn forward it to the Department of External Affairs for consideration. Plenty of our men are now serving in "Newfie” as they call it.• • • Highlights of the annual report of the Governor of the Bank of Can­ ada: While the Dominion Govern­ ment’s domestic debt has quadrupled since the war, net interest charges increased only 52 per cent, and in relation to national income, burden of debt charges are now less than those of twenty years ago. The re­ port stresses the magnitude of ad­ justments necessary to maintain high employment after the war, which will take bold planning by labour, farm and business organiz­ ations as well as government. Points out in 1939 about 4,000,000 Canad­ ians were gainfully occupied and at least 300,000 available for work were not employed. By the end of 1943 gainfully occupied rose to about 5,100,000 but about 1,909,000 of these in the armed forces, war work or producing food required for special wartime exports. • Number available to meet civilian needs fell to about 3,200,000, but at same time the average standard of living had rtyen considerably higher than ever before. He concludes that after the war at least 4,700,000 workers will be available for employment in civ­ ilian jobs, or at least 1,500,000 more than number employed in that sector of the economy at present time.• • • An incentive for civilians to “give” to the Red Cross current campaign for funds, is knowledge of the fact that men of our Army, Navy and Air Force will now con­ tribute directly to more nutritious parcels for Canadian prisoners of war. Rations kcale amendment for the armed services gives them 1 1-3 ounces butter instead of 1% each day and ths cheese ration is cut from half an ounce to three-eighths. But jam and lard are being increased for them to keep the calories stable. The change in food content, slight as it appears, will enrich 30,000 parcels a week for Commonwealth prisoners in the Far East and 80,000 parcels a week for Allied prisoners of war in Europe. Our cash donations to the Red Cross won't hurt either. FRESH ARRIVAL—FLORIDA FULL O' JUICB ORANGES L ar6*> 176, Po«.

Reports from all sections were to the effect that the roads were in the worst condition of the winter. They were reported to be a continuous glare of ice and unusually dangerous. In view of this information the teams did not attempt to make the trip here.Although considerable interest was manifested in the game schedu­ led, for Monday night, very few fans even of the town, turned out with the expectation that the game would be played.

Dangers of Inflation Growing One of the most vital problems with which Canadians are faced to­ day is that of the. fight against in­ flation. The vast importance of this battle, has been stressed again and again by our leaders and through government price control, established in 1941, living costs have risen less in Canada than anywhere else. The bdttle against inflation, however, is not'over, nor is it a government re­ sponsibility alone. It is a two-way responsibility and tbbe effective must have the support of every indi­ vidual and have that support contin­ uously. Aiding the government in bring­ ing the mat$pr to the attention of the people are many concerns and or­ ganizations, who are, through adver­ tising paid out of their own funds, carrying on splendid educative cam­ paigns. Among these is the Brewing Industry of Ontario, wfaieh is spon­ soring a series of government approved advertisements prepared by the Spitzer and Mills Advertising Agency. With the theme, "Keep Your Dollar Value High," this series of advertisements presents an effective, to-the-^oint argument fpr the-case against inflation.

Waters, Ann street: "The MacNeiil Memorial Baptist Church, Hamilton, decorated with white stocks and buddelia and lighted with tall white tapers, was the set­ ting for a pretty wedding, February 18th, at 7.30 o’clock, when Margaret Isobel, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frederick William Waters and Lieut. Bruce Meredith Broad, Camp Bor­ den, Ontario, son of Mr. Richard Stanley Broad and the late Mrs. Broad, were united in marriage. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. Ivan C. Morgan, assisted by Rev, W. A. Henderson. Miss Nellie Hamm presided at the organ and Joseph Richardson of Woodstock, and now at McMaster University sang Grieg’s "Ich Liebe Dich.” “The lovely bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a gown of ivory satin, fashioned with a long fitted bodice, the ‘full skirt ending in a short train. Her full- length veil was daught to her head with a halo headdress bordered with feathered carnations. She also wore pearls, the gift of the groom and carried a cascade bouquet of white carnations. Attending her as maid of honor was Miss Joan. Virtue, Leth­ bridge, Alberta, now at McMaster University, and the bridesmaids were Mrs. Peter Tully, Burlington and Miss Enid Challen, -Sarnia. All were gowned in white Swiss organdy with organdy Dutch caps and their arm bouquets were of variegated shade tulips tied with lime green taffeta ribbon. John M. Porter, Galt, now at McMaster, was best man and ush­ ering were Peter Tully, Burlington and William Arnold, Hamilton. "A small reception followed the ceremony and was held at the home of the bride’s parents, 1257 King street west. The couple left on a short wedding trip, the bride travel­ ling in a blue wool dress and hat, the latter trimmed with pale pink and blue rosebuds; a muskrat coat and brown accessories. The bride will reside in Hamilton while the groom resumes his military duties?’ Missing Flyer Now Prisoner of War That her brother, Flight Sergt.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH ., LD44THE PARADOX OFLE SINATRAEvalin* A. Long inee idol did at least carry in hi*person all the attributes women weresupposed to admin in a man He wasalways tall and handsome, had athriilingiy masculine voice and car­ried rflmself with the assured anddignified grace of the prince of thefairy story. And he was always csstin characters where his brave andnoble masculinity had a chance to doits utmost to stir the willing admir­ation of his youthful admirers. Any girl could dream a quite satisfactory dream with hhn as the centre of operations. But how put a lacka­ daisical whisperer of mushy songs on such a plane? Truly, it’s beyond me. ConsiJcr.nj! how very often onehears the name of Sinatra, it isamazing how very little he has to offer the uninitiated. If he had a voice out of the ordinary one could understand the advertising he has received, but a thousand voices all' over the country are much superior in tonal quality. They can be heard daily on the various programs over the air and no one seems to go into any ecstacy over them. But perhaps one has to have a certain mentality, or is it a lack of mentality, to be moved by the underlying pathos in the voice that is supposed to cause 'maidens to swoon. Of course there have always been such maids, addic­ ted to such swooning. It used to be the sight of blood or a mouse that overcame them, now it is a mouse of a man, a mouse lacking in the quick and vital energy of the aver­ age mouse, which would scorn to ‘ move to the slow and dawdling rhythm of the male crooner. Why women have ever come under the influence of such singing is strange, to say the least, for the normal wo­ man is supposed to admire virility in a man, the things that speak of his maleness, the deeper voice, the masking of any weakness, his energy and his quickness to take over, and how this lugubrious drawl of a mike- grasping tenor can move any but hysterical adolescents to emotional fervour is beyond me. I am moved surely, but only with a keen desire to stick a pin into some part of the anatomy of the traducer of the male voice, in the hope that he might be hurried in the rendering of his song, and so off the air. It is natural for girls to be ro-; »■ uncrai nume anamanticallv minded. It would indeed ?ere conducted by Rev. W. J. Tay-, , , . lor.

For leap year the marriage record is only 25 7, of a year ago. In February of 1943, there were 18 births, 4 marriages, 7 i deaths, while in February, 1944 the records show 10 births, 1 marriageand 6" d’eaths.

You have probably been using your egg beater more than usual during the last month or two. If so, you may have wondered sometimes just when egg whites were beaten enough. One re­cipe will say, “add beaten egg whites” and another ‘‘beat eggs until firm and glossy but not dry.” There is no set stage at which egg whites are beaten enough. It is a case of “it all depends.” ~ you beat egg whites to different stages for different purposes. Foi^ example, when making a meringue topping for a pie or folding in an angel cake mixture, ^egg whites should be beaten only until they are a soft foam. The air bubbles are small and the beaten whites are glossj- and moist but form rounded peaks. Fairly stiff beaten eggs are in making omelets, souffles, . frostings and meringues. That is. soft used cake In this ease the whole mass is glossy yet stiff enough to slip from the bowl intact. The peaks are pointed and you should be able to cut clearly through the whites. If, however, you beat egg whites any stiffer than this they will be dry and look dull. Small flakes or lumps appear, which will spoil the texture of the mixture to which the egg white is added. Several things affect the way an egg white acts when you beat it. BARRISTERS PATERSON, START and MAR­ SHALL, Barristers and Solicitors. Royal Bank Building, Ingersoll PHYSICIANS H. G.

AUCTIONEERS One ir that eggs at room tempera-'ture will beat more rapidly than1those taken directly from the refrig-Ierator. Another is that the thicker jthe egg white, the longer it takesto beat it, but the foam does standup better. It is amaxing how muchegg white is left in the shell, soscrape each shell out after you havecarefully separated the yolks and whites. Grandmother has always beaten egg whites with a quick round click of the fork on a cold plate—using a favourite fork, but any fork does the job. A good rotary beater is a good whip to use, in a shallow cold bowl, but they are as scarce as the electric beater, which does the job easily for you. And then if sugar is to be added to egg white, use fine granulated sugar, adding the required amount gradually. Hot Water Sponge Cake 1 cup flour 1 4 teaspoons baking powder 1-4 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 6 tablespoons hot water 1-2 tablespoon lemon-juice. Sift the flour, measure it, add the salt and sift it again. Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs and beat the yolks until they are thick and lemon-coloured. Add the sugar gradually and beat again. Add the lemon juice and hot water and mix thoroughly. Fold in the flour, altern­ ately with the stiffly beaten egg­ whites. (Be careful not to beat the cake at this stage.) Bake in a floured sheet or loaf tin in electric oven (sheet, 325’F, 30 minutes—loaf, 300-325°F., 40-60 minutes. Coffee Frosting 1 unbeaten egg-white cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons cold coffee Place air ingredients in the top of a double boiler. Place over boiling water and beat with beater for 7 minutes. Beat and spread on cake.

YOU—depending on your telepl for quick, essential com- ' xe*munication at Work end ija at home. your telephone • telephone lines can carry thia wartime load only if we all use existing facilities sparingly, and keep our calls just as short and business-like as we There are indications that under war conditions the problem of the bedbug has become increasingly ser­ ious in many parts of Canada, espec­ ially in urban areas where war needs have brought overcrowding and shift­ ing of the population, states Dr. C.- R. Twinn, Division of Entomology, Science Service, Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture. In control work against the bedbug, a know­ ledge of its life history and habits is of material value. While human beings are preferred, the bedbug is what is known as a non-specific par­ asite and will feed readily on a num­ ber of animals and birds, including, mice, rats, guinea fowls and canaries. Cockroaches do not eat bedbugs, but mice will do so, presumably as a method of self-pro­ tection. Bedbugs are normally active at night and hide during the daytime in cracks and crevices in the infested room or its furniture, and under or behind objects that afford conceal­ ment, such as loose wall paper. Their greatest activity occurs just before dawn, and most of the bugs return to their hiding places after daybreak. When very hungry, they will feed in subdued light in the daytime, especially in theatres and other pub­ lic gathering places in which the furnishings have become infested. Best results in control work are obtained by fumigation or by a liquid insecticide that penetrates easily. Fumigation by gas should be under­ taken by experienced operators. In some cities, the law requires that only registered operators may use gas for fumigation. Sprays contain­ ing pyrethrum extract in a refined kerosene type oil have given sataifac­ tion. However, owiqg to the increas­ ing use. of pyrethrum for the pro­ tection of the armed forces overseas, it is not now obtainable for general use, but there are substitute insecti­ cides now available which are being widely used, details on the use of which can be secured by writing to the Dominion Entomologist, Domin­ ion Department of Agriculture, tawa.

Meatherall ofI Ingersoll, visited on Sunday withOf all the food products urgently the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.needed, dairy products top the list, Walter Meatherall._ -.1 AM ta RrUain PInKThis information comes from Dr. IBarton, Dominion Deputy Minister ofAgriculture and Chairman of theAgricultural Food Board. JThe reason for this, he says, is due to the wide range of demands for butter, cheese, concentrated milk, fluid milk and other milk products as a result of the war. The difficulty of increasing milk production under war condi­ tions naturally aggravates the situa­ tion. Red Cross parcels to prisoners of war sent from Canada total 100,000 per week. Dairy products in each parcel include—1 lb. butter, 1 dried milk and 1-4 lb. cheese. A recent survey of 70 of the largest cities and towns in Canada disclosed that the distribution of fluid milk was approximately 20 per cent greater than, a year earlier. In 1943 total milk production in Can­ ada was 17^17 million pounds, a slight increase over 1942. Creamery butter output in 1943 was 312,300,- 000 pounds, an increase of nearly 10 per cent over the previous year. Production of dairy butter was 55,- 400,000 pounds, 22 million pounds less than in 1942. The output of cheese last year was down 6’,i per cent compared with the previous year. There was also less concen­ trated milk products made in 1943 than in 1942. | n.e Pulnai..

The answer is that your grocer takes your sugaf, butter and other coupons to his bank, which acts as the govern­ ment’s agent in identifying and accounting for millions of spent coupons. This vast bookkeeping job—known as “Radon Coupon Banking” — is just one of the new, additional assignments which the banks have assumed as part of their wartime service. Another is the payment, on behalf of the government, of cer­ tain subsidies arising out of war­ time price control. Still another is the handling of exchange trans­ actions as agents of the Foreign Exchange Control Board. At the same time the banks have arranged facilities to serve mili­ tary establishments and new war­ industry centres alike. Through loans to industry and agriculture, they have helped to increase the supply of1 raw mate­ rials, weapons and food. They have acted as issuing agents for approximately $5,700,- 000,000 worth of Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates, as well as lending direct financial aid to the government through short term Ioans. ...All this in the face of wide­ spread staff changes resulting from enlistments of 8,360 trained bank employees. The war emergency has proved the readiness and ability off Canada's banks to adapt their services to new conditions. It has proved, once again, the strength off your banking system, which is providing a firm base off financial service ffor Hie greatest economic effort In the nation's history, and will with equal resourcefulness meet the challenge off the years ahead. ilveraary i H i CHAR1EREO BANKS OF CANADA ’ I THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1944LETTERS TO THE EDITOR STORE PHONE - 11$WED - THURS..

Pembleton at his resi­ dence, 263 Thames street north, in his 55th year. Born near Drumbo, he had lived there until 1910 when he moved out west and homesteaded in Saskatchewan until war broke out in 1914. Enlisting he served four years and on returning to Canada he married Lillian Howell and lived in Toronto and Islington, coming to Ingersoll three and a half years ago. He had been ill for about a month. He was a member of Trinity United Church and of the Ingersoll Branch of the Canadian Legion, and by his quiet and unassuming manner had made for himself a large circle of friends.Left to mourn the passing of a beloved husband and father, are his widow, one son, Robert Arthur of the R.C.A.F. and one daughter, Mar­ garet Jane at home. Also surviving are two brothers, Edward of Bramp­ ton, and John of Kindersley, Sask. The funeral was'held from the Preston T. Walker Funeral Home, on Wednesday afternoon, with ser­ vice conducted by Rev. R. H. Parr. During the service Mr. Douglas Mar­ tin sang a solo with Mr. Harold Rid­ dells accompanying. The service was largely attended and many beautiful floral tributes were in evidence. Temporary entombment took place at the Ingersoll Mausoleum. The pall bearers were Norman Pembeltpn, Ford Hawkins, Alex. McKenzie, Vic­ tor Harrison, Cecil Kenney, Earl Fleming. Dear Editor of The IngersollTribune:I stood for an hour reading overthe names of the Ingersoll boys whohave enlisted in the Armed Forces,on the new Honour Roll, which isbeing dedicated in a few days, erected by the Lion's Club. There are over six hundred names on the Roll, our representatives in the great conflict Many of these boys are scattered oh the various war fronts. Opposite the names of some, will be the Union Jack, signifying that these lads have paid the Supreme Sacrifice, and will never come back to their home town. We cherish the memory of each one of them. It is a very timely gesture on the part of our citizens to realize that they too, are part of this great conflict. Ingersoll War Charities is entering a campaign to raise $20,000 in order that the wanta and needs of our men may be looked after whether in Prison Camps or on the Battlefield. Ingersoll has always re­ sponded nobly to any appeal that is made upon her citizens. Your con­ tributions to this fund might save a life, or they might bring some comfort to one of our lads, as the Red Cross is doing a magnificent job. Millions of parcels are sent monthly and weekly to our Prisoners of War in Germany and Hong Kong. It is a well known fact that these parcels keep the spirits of our boys very high, and their hopes alive. We cannot afford to fail them. Yet, sad to relate, there are only 1200 faithful subscribers in our town of 6000 people. Surely it is time for each one of us to measure up to our responsibility and answer this very urgent appeal.

Wnrt iMdKRimx ‘ Discussion on Russia By Book Club Members The second meeting of the Book Club held at the public library on Thursday evening, was largely attended. Mrs. J. Raynham presided during the business period and intro­ duced the speakers to the gathering. Miss Estelle Carney gave a most informative history of Russia up to the revolution in 1917. She traced the history of these people from the early conquest of the Slavic tribes by the Norsemen, through the terror and despotism of the early conquer­ ors, the reign of the Czars, their rise to power, the annexation of surrotw- ding territory, the serfdom and wn- ering. of the masses of the people which finally culminated in the revo­ lution of 1917. The speaker emphasized the fact that Russia faced to the east and that she acquired most of her culture from the east with but a thin veneer of western civilization. The Reform­ ation, the Renaissance, and the indus trial revolution which swept Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth cen­ turies did not touch Russia and the speaker said that of necessity pro­ gress has been very slow, J. M. Malcolm spoke briefly of the progress Russia has made since the revolution and of the place Russia will hold in the post-war world. He mentioned the distrust which exists on both sides, between the English- speaking people and the Russians and of the difficulties which must be overcome when the war is won and the nations are gathered around the peace table. A spirited discus­ sion followed Mr. Malcolm's talk. A t the April meeting two. books on} Germany will be reviewed and discussed. I cannot fold my hands and kneel— The debris is too deep I’m holding little sister on my lap— She’s sobbing in her sleep. We used to kneel beside mom's knee— She always stroked our hair. But now, we're all alone, becauseshe died When bombs were dropping every­ where. 1 Dear God, I'm not so very big or strong, But if there’s one thing I can do, To stop the guns from thundering all the time, I wish You'd let me know. My dad?—We haven’t seen him for some time. Perhaps he’s dead; I kinds hopehe is; He’d be lost—now mother isn’t here. I’d like to think he’d gone to where she is. I’m sure I don't know what it’s all about Oh My! That crash is not bo very far. God, If You have seen a little dog around, outside Would you kindly tell him where we are? He uster be a sort of dusky white * With smears of brown on both ears; But likely he’s changed too—it seems as tho* ' Things look so different, thro' our tears.

A piano solo given by Marguerite Moulton followed. Miss Muriel Hotchkiss of Dereham Centre, was present to speak on the subject "My Ideal Young Person.” The “Esquire”, edited by Mr. and Mrs. H.

The meeting adjourned with the singing of the National Anthem. Frank Taylor PastesAway In His 65th YearFollowing an illness of eightmonths* duration, death came to awell known and highly respected re­sident of Ingersoll, on Friday last,In the person of Frank Taylor, atthe family residence, King Hiramstreet. The late Mr. Taylor who was tn his 65th year, was bora in BeachviUe', and for the past 30 years had been a resident of Ingersoll, where his ever-kindly and genial manner had won for him countless friends and his death is deeply regretted.

Left to mourn the passing of a dearly beloved husband and father are his widow, two sons, Robert of Ingersoll; William, of Woodstock; and two daughters, Mrs. Russell Minier, Brantford, and Anne at home, to all of whom the sympathy of their many friends Is extended in their irreparable loss. The funeral took place from the Fred S. Newmap Funeral Home on Monday afternoon, with service con­ ducted by Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner of St Paul’s Presbyterian Church, at two o’clock. The profusion of beau­ tiful floral tributes and the large attendance at the service were evi­ dence of the esteem in which de­ ceased was held. Temporary en­ tombment took place at the Ingersoll Mausoleum. The pall bearers were Garnet El­ liott, L. B. Hyde, Ernest Foote, Norman Harper, George Preston, Louis Taylor. Nell—“What is call money, dear?" Belle—“I guess it’s the kind you call up your husband on the tele­ phone for to tell him you must have it right away.” Harrietsville Man Met Death In Accident The funeral of John DeGroat, who was instantly killed on the Welling­ ton road on Friday, was held from the home of his mother on Monday and was largely attended.

IX 71 TH the continued scarcity of ’’-film and photographic equip­ ment we should all make a resolu­tion to see that every dick of the shutter results in a good picture and that cameras and .iccosaories arc given the best ot care. Here are kofju important to remember About the conservation of Him: L Don't shoot pictures at random. You'll get tho test results if yon will look beforo you sboat and make sure of just what you want la your Pkturv; then get it on toe flnt shot,if possible. X Watch your exposures. Incor­ rect exposure ruins many otherwise excellent saapstota. Protect your­ self against each taflnras. torwt adime in a poekstrtnfl sxposuxe roh cnlator, and follow it faithfully. >- When aMppfag a moving ©b- ta* be sure U*t your abutter speed Is fust enough to stop UwmsUon. oraettott. Vwy moderate movement eaa bo “froeon- a tl/M o ta eeooM but as the speed of too object ta­ thk, camera ... the greater the abut­ ter speed needed. 4. Camera movement spoils many potentially, fine snapshots. There are two ways to correct this: Place your camera on a tripod or brace it against some steady object such as a post or a tree; or, secondly, prac­ tice with an empty camera until you au release the shutter without jar- ring. Note: Using a cable release often makes-that easier. 5. Always check your focus be­ fore taking tho picture. Make surethe camera is fbcnsefl correctly. Whatever yon do, don't guess at dis­ tances fa close-up plctaru taking. Always measure tho distance from camera to subject for anything .nearer than six feet Remember that snapshots from home are welcome tadood to all ser­ vice m s so take “noway* snap­ shots frequently and send them withyour tetters.
