N. Dunn. The alarm was sent in by L. V. Healy, who was a patron of Bigham’s next door, when he noticed the oder of smoke. The firemen were soon on the scene and after forcing the front door were faced by a cloud of black smoke that drove them back to the street. After several attempts to locate the blaze, it was discovered about 8 or 10 feet from the furnace and was in such a position that it difficult to get direct line of water to play on it. It was necessary to lay four lines of 1400 feet of hose. Fire Chief Fred Ellis in speaking •f the work of the brigade, gave great credit to the men for their eo-operative efforts to get a difficult fire under control. There is much damage to the stock by water as well as the repairs that will be nec­ essary to the building. Smoke and water also went into the building of Bigham’s Limited, the water being taken care of from the cellar by the use of a pump, while smoke has marred the walls of the restaurant. The fire brigade was kept at the scene of the fire until nearly 10 o'clock, after which they were given refreshments at the Bigham restaur­ ant and during the fighting of the fire, coffee was supplied to the men by several ladies. These gestures were both much appreciated by the firemen and greatly assisted them in their efforts. In speaking to Mr. T. N. Dunn, the Tribune was informed that it ■ was impossible to give any estimate 1 of the loss until after the insurance adjusters had been consulted.

To replace Councillor S. J. (Smith who resigned from council . before the expiration of his term of office, a public meeting was held to accept nominations for the position, on Friday last. At the opening of ■ the meeting at 7.30, there was not a single elector apart from the clerk and press representatives present. In the hour used for nominations to be received, the crowd never ex­ ceeded fourteen and seven nomina­ tions were recorded. The nominees and their sponsors are as follows: Archie W. Clark, Salesman—By Ewart G. Wilson and Garnet Elliott. Dr. J. G. Murray, Veterinarian— By J. B. Crown and A. Schram. Leo R. Ranger, Trucker—By W. Smith and A. Schram. John A.

Cessation of Rain Prevented Floods REGULAR MEETING OF BOARD OF EDUCATION OXFORD and NEARBY BURGESSVILLE GETS FIRST HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP Burgessville captured t he champ­ pionship of the Oxford Big Four Hockey League by winning the first two games of the play-off from Bel­ mont. The games -were played on Wednesday and Friday of last week and both games were fast and the players gave all they had. The first game ended 3-3 and at the end of the first overtime period, the score was still tied at 4-4. After the sec­ ond overtime period, the score worked out to 5-4 for Burgessville. The second game was not so evenly contested. There were num­ erous penalties. The goal tenders were given plenty to do and on a number of occasions it seemed as though a “Donnybrook” battle would be on the bill of fare. There were no serious casualties however, and the title goes to Bur­ gessville for the first time in their existence as rural hockey contenders. The finals was ■ for the best two of three games and as they took the first two the championship justly belongs to the boys from Burgess­ ville. The score of the second game at the end was 11-5. The line ups for the contenders were: Belmont—Goal, Holly; defense, Taylor and Weaver; centre^ Bren­ nan; wings, Jolliffe and D. Abbott; alternates, Romborgh, Wintermute, L. Taylor, R. Abbott, Black, McPher­ son. Burgessville—Goal, Freeman; de­ fense, Griffin and Furtney; centre, Roloson; wings, ■ B. Dickson and ■ Smith; alternates, L. Dickson, R. Dicksoq, Myers,. Fr%in, Simmons, Hoover. A letter from Pte. A. H. Turk, 31 Canadian Corps, Troops Coy., R.C.A., S.C., Central Mediterranean Forces, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Turk, Merritt street, was received by The Tribune on Monday as follows: Somewhere in Italy, March ?, 1944 Dear Friends—I receive your very much, appreciated Tribune quite regularly and have at long last got around to writing to it To me its not the Tribune, but the “Ingersoll Letter.” And for the cigarettes and parcels from the different firms I say thanks a million, and to my many friends I say hello and via Berlin I hope to be home again in the not too distant future. Sincerely, AUSTIN TURK. Pilot Officer "Donald McDougall, R.C.AJ., is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. McDougall, Won­ ham street. P.O. McDougall received his commission last Friday > after graduating at the head of his class in navigation from No. 4, A.OJS., Crumlin. Among those attenrli'pg thegraduation were his parents^and his Sister, Mrs. James Gillespie and Mr. Gillespie of Woodstock. Sergt. Major Fred Story, with the Oxford Rifles (A), for about 18 months, has returned home having been granted an honourable dis­ charge. He is a veteran of the Great War 1914-18 and will now return to his former duties here. > Mr. Ranger was the first speaker i and he expressed regret at the nec- 1 essity for an election at this time. The estimates have been struck by the council and two months have gone and ndthing constructive accom­ plished. The elected man at this time must fill in wherever the coun­ cil decides. Mr, Ranger cited some of the affairs of the council as he had seen them especially the activities of the Board of Works. He said that last year the council had passed a dog tax bylaw that was to be tried for one year and he berated the system of destroying stray dogs used by officials last year. He said he he had witnessed the despatching of two dogs and one of them two men hammered at with axes until they were successful in killing it. He felt that a more humane system could be used. He asked the question as to whether there were any govern­ ment built houses here to provide shelter for families during the war period and said the answer must be negative. He felt that Ingersoll was slipping and that it was becoming a stock alibi to use the lack of sewer­ age as the cause. He spoke at some length on the need of a new hospital and other affairs of the town as he saw them. He did not state what his intentions were in regard to elect­ ion. John A. Weir HYMENEAL . Mr. and^ Mrs. John E. Gayfer, announce "the marriage of their youngest daughter, Mildred Frances, (Billie), to Captain Charles Stewart Smith, youngest son of Mr. John G. Smith and the late Mrs. Smith. The marriage took place on Friday even­ ing, March 10th, 1944, in Old St. Paul's Anglican Church, Woodstock. .Major the Reverend John Morris performed the marriage. bojSn SMITH—To Capt. >( overseas) Mrs. Harold Smith, on Friday, March 10th, 1944, at the St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver, B.CM a daughter—Fhylli* Jane. and Pte.

Rubber'was named when.it was accidently discovered that the pro­ duct would erase pencil marks. Mr. Weir was the only other pros­ pective candidate in the audience and he said that as he had been the runner-up in the general election, he had a claim to the vacancy created by the resignation of Councillor Smith. He said that he had served five years as councillor and felt that he could give good service for the balance of 1944. He stated that it was his intention to file qualification papers. After nine o’clock on Saturday night which was the deadline for qualifications, it was found that four of the seven nominees .had qualified and an election will be held on Mon­ day next from9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Each of the candidates have had councils experience, and all have been chairman of the Board of Works. Those who. qualified include Archie W. Clark, John A. Weir, Dr. J. G. Murray and Stanley J. Smith. The election was caused by the resig­ nation of Mr. Smith and his qualifi­ cation came as a surprise. He had held the chairmapship of the (Board of Works in. 1943 and In 1944 ■ up to .the time of his resignation on , on February 21«t. Prior to that he < bad been chairman of the Relief 1 Committee foxr‘*ever<l years.

He ha* had five years' < cotmefl experience. That the drop ia temperature and the cessation of rain were factors in preventing Thames river from going on a rampage on Sunday, was the opinion of a number of citizens? As a result of the heavy downfall of rain, numerous streams became swol­ len to a degree far above normal. These streams going into the river caused a steady rise with the result that high water marks were being watched with interest. The town streets were in much better condition as a result of the Sunday rains. Most of the accumula­ tion of snow and ice disappeared and the sidewalks in the downtown area dried up nicely. Part of Pemberton street was under water on Sunday, but the situation was not as serious as in other yean. LARGE CROWD ENJOYED CHOIR SPRING FESTIVAL The Junior Choir of fifty voices of Trinity United Church presented their annual Spring Festival on Friday evening and were greeted by a large and appreciative audience to whom Rev. R. H. Parr, the pastor, gave a kindly welcome and introdu­ ced Miss Ruth Cuthbertson, the director of the choir. The opening number, ! National Anthem,” all three verses, , so rarely heard, was sung with a , devotional spirit. Well sung indeed , were “The Noregian Dance,” and “Czecho-Slovakian Dance Song.” In the latter, Noreen Jackson, Bernice Martin and Ruth Daniel, dressed as gypsies, played the bones. Mrs. Horning, guest violinist of Toronto, opened her part of the pro­ gramme with "Largo” from Bach and "Andante from the Wieniawski Concerto in D Minor”, with organ accompaniment, both beautiful num­bers. • The choir then sang “Rising of the Lark”, “The Call” and “To a Wild Rose.” In the lafterj little Nancy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Churchouse, was dressed as a pink rose and stood on a pedestal in the centre of the singers. One of the most enjoyable duets heard in a long time, was that of Mrs. O. B. Moffatt at the piano and Mr. Riddolls at the organ. They played a Rhapsody by Demarest and received the recognition they merited. These artists were the ac­ companists for the entire program. The boys’ chorus sang “Little Valier Dog,” and did it well. They were certainly a fine lot of small gentlemen. We really admired the deportment of the entire choir. “The Goslings”, by all singers, was an attractive number. An effect­ ive group by girls and boys in cos­ tume was (a) “Deep Purple”, (b), “The Minuet”, (c) “The Olden Songs.” Those taking part were Misses Ethelwyn Daniel, Jean .Dan­ iel, Evelyn Walker, June Parr, Mar­ jory Shelton, Margaret Hall and Kenneth Ogden, (sea cadet); Wesley Hyslip, (air cadet). Mrs. Horning’s second numbers were (a) “Largo”. Veracini-Corti; (b) "The Swan”, Saint-Saens. Not in a long time shall we forget the rendition of her beautiful solos. The mello tones of her violin and her ex­ ceptional technique, conveyed to the audience the impression that they were hearing a brilliant artist. Brahms’ Lullaby, was played as an encore. The choir’s final group deserved, all the applause given them. They did the numbers “Lord, Thou Art Mindful,” and “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” from Bach with dignity.

The moving of the piano from the fifth form to a room upstairs for use in music teaching and the pur­ chase of an electric phonograph if possible, not to exceed a cost of $60, was also advocated. Another clause in 'the report recommended that the committee have power to have a civil engineer look over the property or other properties which the board might deem advisable and get advice from an architect to . assist in arriving at the best possible plan for a building that will serve this community best. Chairman Gordon Daniel of the Victory Memorial School Property Committee, reported that persons were using the Oxford street lawn for a short cut and.thereby spoiling the new hedge that was planted last year and creating a path across the lawn. The report of Principal A. Mur­ ray showed an attendance of 91 r'r during the month of February at the public schools, and an increased interest in the sale of War Savings Stamps. The sales of February total­ led $964.00. Mr. Murray reported progress in the issuing of the school magazine to be known as the “Mem­ orial Bugler.” There will be no ad­ vertising in the paper and it is ex­ pected that the sale of the issue will cover its cost. The number of pupils covered by accident insurance is now 91% of the enrolment. Acting. Principal R. C. Brogden reported an increase in attendance of 3% over the previous month and a sale of War Savings Stamps of $762.25. He also said that a local citizen had offered a prize to Colleg­ iate pupils for the purchase of stamps. Mr. Brogden said that in the recent publid ‘speaking contest, _ (Continued on page 5) Baptist Church Choir Elect* Officer* For Year The members of the Ingersoll Baptist Church choir held the elect­ ion of officers for 1944-45 last week.

Floors andwalls should be double boarded with a building paper in between and ven­ tilation provided. Thia can be done by replacing one window sash with a light frame covered with cotton or muslin. The frame can be opened on fine days and closed when the weather is eold and stormy. It is good business to disinfect the brooder house, floors, wall and ceil­ ing, and have utensils for water, milk and feed cleaned and disin­ fected. A thermometer in the brooder house hung at the outer edge of the hover, about three inches from the floor, will prove profitable. The temperature should be 90 to 95 degrees, when the chicks are started. From two to three days before the chicks arrive, start the brooder stoves and keep up an even temperature. There is a lot of helpful inform­ ation on chicks in Special Wartime pamphlet Nev 63 entitled "Efficient Brooding of Chicks’*, issued by the Dominion Department of Agricul­ ture, Ottawa. "Grow Healthy Chicks’’ Of the more than 735,000 farmers in Canada, fully 90 per cent of them raise poultry. In 1943, thfeir' flocks, and those of the commercial poultry­ men produced between 335 aqd 340 million dozen eggs. The objective for 1944 is 367 million dozen. Brit­ ain wants every dozen of Canadian eggs in the form of dried powder it is possible to supply.. Whatever quantity is available for the domestic market it will not be enough to meet the demand, so there need be no concern on the part of the producer about a ready market. In view of the market demand for both eggp and poultry, farmers will probably be buying more baby chicks this year than ever before. Having the proper equipment ready to re­ ceive the chicks on their arrival from the hatchery is a money saver. A brooder house and brooder stove are necessary. A 10 x 12 foot port­ able colony house will accommodate about 250 chicks until they are six weeks old. Before the chicks arrivethe house should be ready on the* is a companion bulletin.

DOUCETT, ‘ Minister of Highways I THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1944Zoning Milk andCreamery Collections Savings in gasoline, robber and trucking equipment has resulted from the order on transportation of milk and cream issued by the War­ time Prices and Trade Board over a year ago. The services administra­ tion report that the soned collections have resulted in reductions up to 44 per cent in the number of trucks used for collecting the products, which has brought about this saving. Producers, truckers and proces­ sors have been consulted as far as possible in determining the zones all of which are expected to be laid out by the end of March. Every effort has been made to preserve the balance between operators in the same field and to maintain a choice of outlets for producers in practically every zone. Adjustments will con­ tinue to be made where any undue hardship results or where the nec­ essities of production require, accor­ ding to the services administration Often it is the pull on our heart strings that gives us the biggest lift. Bello Homemakers! Butter bought with coupons 52 and 53 must be made to last until March 23rd. This will be no hardship for the thrifty homemaker. The elimination of meat rationing will enable folk to get ample of this heat-providing food, because now they may pur­ chase more bacon and other pork products that contain a lot of good fat to substitute for butter. Render fat trimmings, using low heat. Cool quickly and put in a glass or enamel container. Cover and store in the upper part of the elec­ tric refrigerator. Another amount of dripping may be added whenever fat meat is bought Do, however, keep different kinds of drippings in separate containers—beef in one jar, pork in one jar, and chicken, duck or goose in another. Lamb or mutton fat is the least successful fat for re-use. When you use these Victory fats in place of butter, use two table­ spoons less of the drippings per cup than of butter or other commercial shortening. top electric element of oven.

EMERSON MOULTON, G. R. GREEN, President. Secretary. Shamrock Cookies 7-8 cup shortening ’ 1 cup sugar 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons milk 2 teaspoons vanilla 4 cups flour (or less) 1-2 teaspoon salt 1 egg white Green sugar crystals. Allow the shortening to stand at room temperature and then cream with the sugar and egg yolks. Add the milk and vanilla alternately with the flour and salt to make a dough stiff enough to handle. Chill thoroughly. Toss on a lightly floured board. Roll, cut with shamrock cut­ ter, brush tops of shamrock with egg white, sprinkle with green sugar and bake in electric oven at 400* F. six to eight minutes. Green sugar is coarse granulated sugar sprinkled with one drop of green colouring. Butter Spread (Suggested by J. B.) We make one full cup of un­ sweetened custard using 1 cup of rich top milk, one or two egg yolks and 1-4 teaspoon of salt Cook in top* of double boiler and strain. Half a cup of butter is allowed to stand at room temperature until it is soft enough to beat but not oily, then the almost cold custard is whipped in it This makes one pound of stretched butter from half a pound of butter. Take a Tip: 1. Instead of using butter, grease pans with other mild flavoured fats. 2. Drippings from beef and pork roasts can be used in meat and vegetable dishes, and for pan-frying many foods. 3. Instead of using, butter in cream sauces for vegetables, sub­ stitute other fats. 4. Grated cheese on vegetables also will take the place of butter. 5. With baked potatoes, cut a gash in the top and squeeze open— put butter on when served. ' 6. If crusts are to be cut off 'bread for sandwiches, this should be done before buttering.

One afternoon the proprietor of an animal store said to his young clerk: ' “Tom, I’m going upstairs to work on the books. If anyone comes in fora live animal let me.know. You can attend to selling the stuffed animals yourself.. About half an hour later in came a gentleman "with his son and nske-J Tom if he could show him a live monkey. To the customer’s amaze­ ment the cleric ran to the foot of the stores and yelled: “Come down, air; you’re wanted.” Returning home after a two months inspection trip of Red Cross which took him through a London Blitz, and over 3(K)0 miles in Eng­ land and Scotland, C. Bruce Hill, president-elect of the Ontario Divis­ ion of the Canadian Red Cross So­ ciety says that the thing which im­ pressed him most was the overwhel­ ming gratitude of the British people for what the Red Gross has done for them. Such heartfelt gratitude is a challenge, he feels, to Canadians in the Society's current campaign for 310,000,000 which Red Cross is ask­ ing as its Dominion wide objective. At the headquarters of the Wom­ en’s Voluntary Services, chief distri­ bution point of clothing and sup­ plies from Canadian Red Cross, at the 14 nurseries which Canadian Jun­ ior Red Cross maintains and where jam and honey and other nourishing food and clothing is provided; in the British Convalescent Homes and Red Cross Hospitals the story is the same, of deep gratitude to the Canadian people for what they have received through the Canadian Red Cross. “Every place I went and no matter whom I talked to, government or service people or just plain folks, the story was the same.” Crossing the ocean, Mr. Hill be­ came acquainted with a British mer­ chant seaman who had been tor­ pedoed for the fourth time. “This man could not say enough for what the Canadian Red Cross had done for him at St, Johns, Newfoundland. Anyone who had knitted socks and sweaters for the men of the Navy would want to go on knitting for another ten years in appreciation of what these men are doing in escort­ ing convoys under all sorts of weather conditions.” One of the lesser known services of Canadian Red Cross is the tracing of prisoners, and Mr. Hill * found much evidence of the speed and effi­ ciency with which the Canadian Red Cross worked, and the resultant hap­ piness to the prisoner’s family. Everywhere the British people talked of the wonderful Can­ adian Red Cross food parcels, and there were many repatriated men who talked of, little else. It seemed as if the thankfulness of the British people was brimming over, and Mr. Hill told of being present at a social affair when an R.A.F. officer gave unsolicited testimony of the benefits he and other R.AjF. men had de­ rived from Canadian Red Cross. The Ontario Division’s president­ elect had high praise for the speed and efficiency with which thfe British air raid organization moves. During the big air raid he witnessed in Lon­ don recently, he saw Red Cross Corps members in the thick of it, working calmly and efficiently. “You’d think they were just going but to breakfast,” he said. Mr. Hill, along with Harold Leather, chairman of the Hamilton Prisoner of War Packing Depot, attended the presentation of a mobile canteen to the National Fires Ser­ vices at Cheltenham. Major General C. B. Price, iD-S.O., DXJ.M., VJD., the Overseas Commissioner, made the presentation, which was the gift, through Canadian Red Cross, of a Montreal citizen. Another highlight of Mr. Hill’s visit overseas was .the opening of the Canadian Red Cross Officers* Club at London, at which the Duchess of Kent officiated. Mr. Hill says that the generous contributions and jthe work of Can­ adians have putrthe Canadian Red Cross among the'leaders in the 17 Red Cross organizations represented in London. “If the people of Ontario realized what the spirit of the Can­ adian Red Cross means to the Brit­ ish people, and to onr own service men and women, they would not hesitate to give and give generously in this campaign,*' he concluded.

Dye Passes Away In His 79th Year “What reason makes yon object to Wilbert, father!" asked the sweetgirt The death of John W.- Dye, Ox­ ford Avenue, occurred on Wednes­ day, March 8th, at Alexandra Hos­ pital. He had not been in good health for some time,, but had been able to be down quite quite recently. Born in North Oxford Township, he had been a lifelong resident of that township and immediate vicinity. He was in his 79th year and is survived by one brother, George of London; and two slaters, Mrs. S. Dowling of St. Agathec, Quebec and Miss Min­ nie Dye of Windsor. The funetal was held from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, on Friday afternoon with service at 2.30 o’clock and was largely atten­ ded, Bev. R. H. Part officiating. Temporary entombment took place at the Ingerapll Mausoleum.

D. Maitland, presiding, and a good attendance of members. One new meml»or was received and it was decided that in future meetings will start at 2.45. One of the most important mat­ ters coming up for discussion was the proposed new National I.O.D.E. War Memorial. It is felt that no more fitting gift could be made to honour those who have given their lives in the service of their country than to assist in the education of their loved ones. Therefore, the I.OJ>E. proposed to establish ‘bur­ saries in Canadian Universities and scholarships in Universities with the British Empire: Those who would be eligible would be outstanding stu­ dents, sons or daughters of men or women who died or were seriously- disabled as a result of war service. The national objective for this wor­ thy purpose is $350,000, the raising of which will be spread over a period of years. Members are urged to be present at the next meeting to vote on this important matter. A letter from headquarters was read re immigration, and attention was called to the fact that a resolu­ tion had been passed that provision for the rehabilitation of returned men and women should be made be­ fore any large scale immigration be permitted. It is contrary to the immi­ gration policy of the order to admit large numbers of refugees other than those of British stock. Mrs. A. Yule save the February report as follows: 6 pair gloves, 6 sleeveless sweaters, 6 scarves, 7 aero caps to the airforce;— 3 navy outfits of 7 articles each, 1 pair mine­ sweeper mitts. 1 afghan, 4 quilts, 1 nightie and 25 combination suits, size 4. She made an urgent appeal for more knitters. The I.O.D.E. is responsible for 240,000 knitted field comforts this year. If Ontario is to do her share each member should be I.O.D.E In Canada had just sent117 tons of clothing, valued atnearly *30*,0M», for European reliefin 1342. Letters of appreciation for cigar­ ette* were road from several of the boys oversea*. Mrs. Lloyd Brown read letter* from member* of the adopted ship expressing thanks for Christinas parcels, a gramophone and books received. Mrs. L. B. Hyde re­ ported the chapter’s adopted school had received its library and Mrs. Westcott’s war report was presented by Mrs. Fleischer. It was decided to continue with the collection of stamps, and it is hoped interested friends will continue to contribute to the box allotted for that purpose at the post office. It was also decided to ask the council for permission to hold a tag day on a Saturday early in May. Mrs. R. H. Parr presented a splen­ did talk on Russia. There are three books at the library she specially recommended for reading: “Mother Russia,” “The Seige of Leningrad”, and “Beyond the Urals.” Russia has 200 millions of people, one-tenth of the world’s population; occupies one-sixth of the world’s sur­ face, has 21% of the world’s coal, 55'. of its oil, 33% of its timber and 20% of its iron. She has made tremendous progress since the revo- lution and Mrs. Parr stressed the exceptional worth of their educa­ tional and hospitalization plans. Re­ ligion is coming back, only ten per cent of its people are communists, and the bravery of the people is re- markle. six to eight millions having been killed in the present conflict. Mrs. Parr pleaded for a spirit of kindliness towards this great country if future peace is to be maintained. Mrs. Maitland extended the thanks of those present to Mrs. Parr for her very fine topic and the meeting closed with "The King.” Beatty, gave her report oa the chap­ter’s second annual danba. held lastmonth in the artnourios, which wasa splendid finatial success. Miss Margaret Elliott was elected as pian­ ist of the Chapter. One new member was proposed and accepted and two new members were received into the Order. A very interesting talk was given by Miss Irma Hutt on the life of Prjncesa Elisabeth in preparation for her reign as Queen of the Em­ pire. The meeting closed with‘the singing of the National Anthem. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess and her assistants, Mr*. L. McCombe, and Misses Catherine Beatty, Ruth Green and Helen Arkell. The following is the slate of offi­ cers for the year 1944-1945: Honorary Regent, Mrs. -James Baxter; Hon. Vice-Regent, Mrs. T. N. Dunn; Counsellors, Mrs. W. R.

Deceased was born at Verschoyle and spent the greater part of his life there and in Inger­ soll, but had been in Toronto for the past twenty years. He was a member of St. John’s Lodge, A.F. & A.M., Ingersoll. He is survived by his widow, for­ merly Estelle Daniel, also born at Verschoyle. A funeral service was held from his late residdhee, 119 Soudan Ave., Toronto, at 11 urn., March 6th. His minister. Rev. C. A. Gowans of Col­ lege Street United Church, very im­ pressively conducted the service. The pall bearers were Messrs. Burris Dynes, Geo. Franeis, John Bell, Jim Tune, Art Best and Geo. Gerring. The remains were then taken to Ingersoll and rested at the Fred S. •Newman Funeral 'Home. From there an impressive service was conducted on Marsh 7th, by Rev. R. H. Parr of Trinity United Church. Deceased’s favorite hymn, ‘ISafe in the Anns of Jesus," was read and Mrs. Ray Hunter sang “Some Time We’ll Un­ derstand." The large number of re­ latives and friends present and the many beautiful florid tributes indi­ cated the love and esteem in which he was held—quiet and unassuming, he was a friend to all. Pall benirts were Messrs. Ray Hunter, Norman Smith, Donald Dynes, Chas. Daniel, Ernie Daniel and Jack Pearsall. Flower bearers were Messrs. Wm Allison, N. H. Dan­ iel, Lloyd Dale, Geo. Day, Lloyd Az­ ford and Alex. Churchouse. Inter­ ment was made in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery. —Contributed.

(Prepared by the Association of Children’s Aid Societies of the Province of Ontario.) Have you ever grieved over a lost dog? How well the writer remembers over twenty-five years, that little Boston Bull who was lost for a whole week. How the family searched for him, advertised for him, lay awake at night thinking of that little loving, faithful friend—hungry, cold, lonely—strayed or stolen from home! And when one morning he was seen coming up the street—what overwhelming joy! Bedraggled, ut­ terly exhausted, he just dragged himself along. But what a pathetic effort he made to respond to the welcoming arms! And when he lay in his basket, loving hands stroking him, his great brown eyes gazed full of unutterable memories.. They told all he had suffered in a little dog’s panic and heartache. But'what about a little lost child —lost to love and care and hap­ piness? This is the first of a series of articles to be published in this paper about the work that is being carried on every day throughout the length and breadth of this province to pro­ tect and salvage the lives of child­ ren. It will tell you something about the struggle of over half a century to enact laws and establish child­ ren’s courts and develop Children’s Aid Societies with this one aim and purpose: That no little/boy or girl in Ontario should be neglected or abused—living without proper care, without happiness, without a just and fair chance of growing strong and sound in body and mind. There is no work in the commun­ ity comparable to this work among the children who have been deprived of normal homes, natural loving par­ ents and an equal chance to grow to happy and useful citizenship with the other children in their commun­ ity! Nothing comparable because it embraces a hope and a value that only work among the children can bring. It is a work that every man and woman in every community throughout Ontario can help in some way or other. Some can help through volunteer work on local Children’s Aid Com­ mittees, some by participating in the management of the Children’s Aid Society—which is the people’s own democratic organization. Some can help by offering boarding homes for little homeless children. All can help by understanding just what the local Children’s Aid Society is .doing and trying to do and by using their influence as citizens to bring about erven stronger laws and higher standards for child eare in this ban­ ner province of the Dominion. Let us go back not more than half a century ago and see how the neglected and ill-treated child was faring at the hands of comfortably placed, well-fed citizens whose own children were enjoying every care and protection! How much thought was given to these little waifs—girls as well as boys—who used to run the streets night and day selling newspapers in Canadian cities at the tender age of ten and even younger? What laws protected children against brutal, drunken, depraved parents? What shelter was to be found for children with actually no homes at all, good or bad? Do you know that in Canada, the United States and England the move­ ment for the protection for animals actually preceded the movement for the protection of children? There was a good woman in New York—h* Mrs. Wheeler—who one day about the year 1880 heard of a poor woman dying of tuberculosis in a tenement and visited her. But when she sat by her bedside the dying woman said: “It is too late to do anything for me—see what you can-do for that poor little fellow across the" hall whose drunken par­ ents beat him so unmercifully. Mrs. Wheeler went across the hall and found a child so bruised and battered, so forsaken and unhappy that she went out all over New York City to enlist aid in bringing the parents to justice. She visited clergy­ men, lawyers, police courts, only to discover that no law existed there­ under which parents could be charged with cruelty to their own children! Finally she went to the President of the Society for ths Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and this gentleman, who was also a lawyer, became deeply interested ■nd between them they decided to attempt to make a charge of “cruelty to a human animal!" They secured a conviction and this astounding case aroused public interest and sympathy and thus was Initiated the movement for fatwa and institutions to protect children throughout the United States.

Of Interest to Women A Nice Cap of Tea Nothing so clearly labels a woman a good hostess as being able to offer her guests “a nice cup of tea." And we do mean “nice"—for there are tricks to performing even this simp- plest of feminine arts. Begin with a clean teapot. Don’t hesitate to wash your teapot in good sqapy-rich suds, rinse it thoroughly. Next heat the pot with hot water. The warmer the pot, the better .it helps to keep the brew hot For best results, never use a brass, copper, or iron teapot as this produces a metallic taste. Always measure tea and water carefully, sticking to the familiar proportions of three teaspoons of tea to one pint of water. And remember, the water must be boiling—only boiling water extracts the true flavour from the tea. Brew from two to five minutes.~ t To Remove Shine From Skirts Any girl can fix up a shiny nose in a twinkling—getting rid of that annoying gleam on her favourite skirt is another matter. But it can be done, and easily too. Begin by brushing the garment well, then sponge the shiny spots on the right side with a good cleaning fluid. If the shine persists, try rubbing gently with a cloth wrung out in warm water and extra-soapy suds. Finish the treatment by steam pressing o* the wrong aide. Often the parts of a garment re­ ceiving hard wear, lose their colour as well as develop a shine. When this happens,* sponge with a doth dampened in water to which you have added a few^drops of ammonia or vinegar, Materials such as blue serge which pick -up shine badly, can be made like new by a gentle rubbing with fine sandpaper. Starch Gives New Life 4© Gvment* * To keep blouses, skirts and dres­ ses, too, fresh-looking longer—don’t forget Grandma’s trick of starching them. When properly used, starch gives new life to the tiredeat gann-* ment Mix equal ports starch and cold water, pour into a bowl of boil­ ing water, stirring constantly. Cook two or three minutes until mixture turns transparent. A cloth placed over your bowl of freshly-made starch will prevent skin forming on top. Before starching be sure ail garments have been thoroughly wash­ ed first in good soapy-rich suds. If you want a shiny gloss on collars, add a lump of butter the size of a marble to starch and cold water, be­ fore, pouring the mixture into a bowl of boiling water. And linens wiH have a nice sheen If you add a pinch of salt to starch mixture. This also prevents starch from sticking to th* iron. For best results with delicate fabrics such as muslin, lace, etc., mix starch with milk instead of water—or simply melt a little sugar in boiling water and add It to the rinse water. And here’s a hinjt to war workers—a heavy starch finish on your slacks or overalls not only keeps them clean Unger, but make* them safer when working around machines. Dress Covers From Old Shirts Excellent dust'coven for evening gowna and other valued dresses can be made from men’s old shirts. Start with a clean shirt, freshly washed in extra-soapy suds. Then, simply cut out sleeves, sew up seams and but­ ton shirt ovqj- dress. Teeas—“And what do you think? Mr. Goddart hadn’t been alon* with me five minutes before he offered to kiss me."

Hudson Passes One of Oxford’s veteran public ; school teachers. Miss Celeste Hudson,' passed away Thursday morning last at the home of Mrs. Archie Harris, Harris street. She had been in failing health for about fifteen months. The late Miss Hudson was in her 92nd year and was very widely known in Salford and Ingersoll dis­ tricts. Born in Dereham Township, she had spent the early years of her life in that township and had started her teaching career there. As a public school teacher she had taught as many as three generations of several families in Ingersoll, quite a number of her later pupils being grandchildren of pupils of the early days of Ingersoll. She had taught in Ingersdll under the late J. S. Deacon as principal and lat­ terly with the late M. Walton as principal. All those who were fortun­ ate enough to have learned their les­ sons under her tuition speak only in the highest tenps of her character, She retired in 1932 as a teacher, at Victory Memorial School, completing 60 years in the teaching profession. She is survived by a nephew, Mr. Louis D. Barrett of Kwinista, B.C., and a niece, Mrs. Cora Goeck, Sar­ nia. A sister, Mrs. Catherine Barrett, Salford, predeceased her by .about seven years. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon from the Fred S.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 19441 SPRING FESTIVAL(Continued from page 1) “The Ave Maria”, (Schubert), was the crowning piece of the program with violin, obligato, organ and piano, it was very beautiful, the ensemble created the appropriate artistic at­ mosphere for this grand number. The concert closed with the choir singing “The Lord’s Prayer." In summing up the programme, we congratulate Miss Cuthbertson for her fine work. The young singers responded wonderfully to her wishes. Her control over their phrasing was exceptional and it was patent that her genius as a leader, had much to do with its ultimate success. The choir, we are sure, is no less proud of its conductor than doubtless she is par­ donably proud of her choir. Since the organization of the choir five years ago, splendid support has been given those directly associated with the work. The choir mother at present is Mrs. P. T. Walker and she has the assistance of a number of the ladies of the congregation in caring for the gowns, music and other duties pertaining to the wel­ fare of the singers. The congregation has every valid reason to consider both the conductor and choir as valuable assets. Following the concert, the choir entertained in the schoolroom, the senior choir and other guests to re­ freshments, when the birthday cake with five glowing candles, had the honored place on the tea-table. This was cut by Mrs. Thomas Jackson and the ushers assisted in serving. The Music Committee, compris­ ing Messrs. A. F. Carr, W. L. Thur- tell, R. B. Bigham, S. Underwood and C. Finlay, and others, made kindly reference to the splendid service of Miss Cuthbertson, Mrs. Moffatt and Mrs. Walker and who in turn were presented with handsome gifts.

Prier Dies Following Heart Attack The death occurred at Alexandra Hospital Tuesday afternoon of Mur­ ray A. Prier, Oxford street. While at work at the coal yard of George Daniel, he was seized with a heart attack just before noon. Bom near Jarvis he was in his 65th year and had lived in Ingersoll for the past 40 years. He was very wetl known in the town with a quiet, unassuming disposition. For several years he had been engaged in cement work. Left to mourn his passing are three sisters, Mrs. John Truefitt, Thamesford; Mrs. Fred Truefitt, TiU- sonburg and Mrs. Jack Carrothers, ^Aylmer. The funeral is being held this (Thursday) afternoon, from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, Ing­ ersoll at 2.30 o’clock, with Rev. G. M. MdLean officiating. Interment will be made in the T'lllsonburg Cemetery. Mrs. Chat. Burla Hostess To Putnam W-M.S. The March meeting of the W.MJ3. of the Putnam United Church, was held at the home of Mrs Chas. Burks. The first part of the meeting was in charge of the president, Mrs. Ronald Hutcheson, who opened the meeting with a poem followed by a hymn and prayer by the president. It was suggested k that all the mem­ bers read the book of Mark before the April meeting. Mrs A. J. Cornwell took charge of the meeting and opened by giving an outline of the story of the Bible which was very interesting and edu­ cative. Mrs. Earl Banks took the chapter in the study book. A tem­ perance reading was given by Mrs. Frank Rath and Mrs. Erwin read a poem accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Clendenning. The meeting closed with a hymn and prayer after which the hostess served a de­ licious cup of tea.. West Oxford CoupleHonoured By Friends Friends and relatives numbering about 150, gathered in the basement of West Oxford Church recently, to honour Mr. and Mrs. Murray Budd, (formerly Miss Mildred Morris), who marriage took place last week. Rev. R. B. Cumming was the chair­ man for the evening and presided over the following programme: Piano duet by Misses Jean and Shirley Munroe; vocal solos by Mrs. W. Kerr of Harrietaville; piano duet by Misses Beta and Ruth Ruckle and a vocal solo by Mr. Beth Barratt of Beachville. Mr. Cumming led a sing­ song accompanied by Mrs C. Cuth­ bert. At the close of the programme, the honoured guests received a shower of many beautiful gifts, including a mirror from the West Oxford Young People’s Union, presented to them by James Heeney and Bert Whatley, with Cecil Batten reading the ad­ dress. Murray and Mildred thanked their friends for the lovely gifts and good wishes they had received. Lunch was served by the ladies and a happy evening was brought to a close with the benediction pro­ nounced by Rev. R. B. Cumming. REGULAR MEETING(Continued from page 1) Ingersoll Collegiate had two entries, one getting placed third and the other fifth in the competition. He also advised the board that he had made arrangements for a special speaker to address the pupils on the subject, "Your voice as others bear it.” Chairman Jackson commended both principals for their work, es­ pecially in the matter of furthering the sale of War Savings Stamps. It was moved by Trustees Mal­ colm and Yule, that the manual training committee be. permitted to purchase a heavy- duty drill press for class room work, cost not to ex­ ceed >85.00. Trustee Yule asked what conclus­ ion had been arrived at in regards to a report to the Board at a pre­ vious meeting of an overcrowded condition at a matinee. Chairman Jackson said that he had interviewed the theatre management and been informed that the report was probably exaggerated and that the situation had not been as re­ ported. It was felt that when matters of this kind were brought to a mem­ ber of the board they should be HYDRO RATE CHANGE 3 S -.NEW SERVICES RENEFITS RURAL ONTARIO THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO On January 1, 1944, The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario inaugurated a new uniform rate for the supply of electricity to all consumers served direct by the Commission, in the rural areas of Ontario. This new rate has many advantages and provides a saving to most Farm and Hamlet users. 1 -2 The principal beneficial features of the new rate are as follows: All Rural Power Districts ar* now co-ordinated into one Rural Provincial Power System with a uniform meter rate applying throughout. The estimated saving to Ru*pl Ontario per year is an amount exceeding$500,000.00, equivalent to 10 percent of the Commission’s total revenue from Rural consumer* in 1943. Th* service charge for Farm users has been removed. The service charge to Hamlet consumers has been cut in half. Th* majority of all Rural customers (approximately 97 percent) are benefited by this rate change, only a small number (approximately 3%) ar* adversely affected to a minimum extent. Individual Bills Vary with Use of Electricity In making direct comparisons between your power bill under the new rate and that for a similar period under the previous rate, several conditions must be considered. These conditions include the amount of electrical energy used (Itilowatt-houft), the former meter rate, and For example, your first bill under the new rate may be higher than ’ - the biU you received a year ago for the same period/because of increased use, i.e. higher kilowatt-hour*. In such cases, ff fair comparison can only be made by calculating the bill, using th* increased consumption at the old rate, and comparing this amount with your present bill. Again, many cuttometl such a* garages, service stations, refresh­ ment stands, etcetera, Have increased their demand by installing additional or larger equipment. In such cases, their bills may now be increased, since the higher demand or peak load results in a larger numbe^ of kilowatt-hcArs being billed under the first-and second block rates. Some consumers uslpg electricity in very small amounts have entitled to use additional jlectricity, a* allowed for in the minimum charge, without extra cost. These explanations aye given as a guide to assist you in applying the new rates. If you need farther information, ask your Rural District Superintendent Wartime restrictions and dHHcuHies add considerably to th* problem of providing electric service. Your Rural District Superintendent will connect approved farm services as quickly as th* shortage of material* and manpower will permit. thoroughly investigated before beingpresented to the board.Trustee R. W. Green spoke in re­gard to the report of the Collegiate Institute inspectors and felt that the courteous manner in which they went about their inspection was to be commended. He asked that a letter be sent to the Department commending them for their work here. Chairman Jackson advised that this bad already been taken care of. fr’x n vinbteeee-fele al-dvrllieeqd hfityLi Mrs. Ida May Davis Passes After Brief Illness A widely known resident of West Oxford Township, Mrs. Ida May Davis, widow of James I. Davis, passed away at Alexandra Hospital, on Saturday evening. She had been seriously ill about a month and was in her 69th year. For many years Mrs. Davis was a well known vendor at the Inger­ soll market and for the past year she had been engaged at war work at Woodstock. Born in West Oxford she had been a lifelong, resident of the district and had made for her­ self a large circle of friends who deeply regret her passing. Left to mourn her passing are two sons, Clarence of Ayr, and Ewart athome; two brothtin, James anffGeorge Manser of Woodstock andtwo sisters, Mrs. Clara Budd, WestOxford, and Mrs. Willard Thomas, Ingersoll. The funeral was held from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, on Tuesday afternoon with service at 2.30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. David Alexander of Salford. There was a large attendance of friend* * and relatives at the service, and th* beautiful floral tributes, also testified tu the esteem in which deceased wea held. Temporay entombment took place at the Ingersoll Mausoleum. The pallbearers^ wen Wilbur Budd, Albert Cuthbert, George T1 Witty* > . “I suppose your family is in tb* social swim?" “I should say so,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “We’re getting so exclu­ sive that I feel flattered if mother and the girls let me come to on* of their parties.” The Greeks were the first people to use bedsprings and made them with braided leather thongs hung between heavy boards at the sides of a bed. THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1944 EDUCATION FOR PARENTHOOD Torwato, Oat.—"Parental educa­ tion should be made compulsory be­ fore young people are allowed to marry,” Dr. Kenneth Rogers, general secretary of the Big Brother Move­ ment (Canada), advocated here when he spoke in a symposium on prevention of juvenile delinquency. “Delinquent boys and girls come from delinquent parents,” Dr. Rogers declared. “Anyone can be a parent. It is the most important calling in the world, and we have no required standards for it. Doctors, teachers and ministers must comply with the standards of their profession first. We even talk of compulsory physical examination before marriage. Why not compulsory parental education before young people are allowed to become parents?” Dr. C. E. Silcox, director of the Canadian Conference of Christians and Jews, said, “The juvenile col­ lapse is not caused by the war, but by the disintegration of society in in our day,” "We are trying to do by law something that law can never do,” he declared. “Law can stop evil forces, but cannot make anyone good. Character education, led by the Church, should be the principal approach to juvenile delinquency problems.“Schools must teach the import­ ance of community life and protect­ ing of community property.” said Dr. C. C. Goldring. superintendent of Toronto schools. Onion, from South America South American onions will reach the Canadian retail market early in April, ending the current scarcity, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has announced.Onions are not only a popular but also a useful food, the nutrition div­ ision of the Health League of Can­ ada says. One pound of onion con­ tains about 250 food calorics, small amounts of calcium, phosphorus and iron, and about 15 milligrams of ascorbic acid. The Vitamin C content of the onion is six times as great if it is consumed raw (as in salads), than if it is eaten cooked. to doctor* in the treatment and pre­vention of particular diseases andhave been used with considerablesuccess. However, the indiscriminate use of these preparations without the advice of a physician is usually unnecessary and very unwise. Real vitamin deficiencies which result in ill-health are usually multiple, and, hence, the hit-or-miss selection of a single one of the vitamins is apt to be of little value. Some authorities even feel that out knowledge of the vitamins is still so incomplete that it is a mistake to administer to our­ selves extra doses of any particular one as too much of it may upset the bodily assimilation of some of the others. So put your energies into study­ ing new and interesting ways of serving well-balanced meals and you won't have to worry about the state of your health. You will enjoy the change—and so will your family! WEST OXFORD COUNCIL LOOKS AT O tta w a By Jim Greenblat equipped completely 32.000 infantry­men with the $5,309,824 it spent onvenereal disease The incidence ladown, but the fight must go on. The Prices Board recently issued an order that fur garment styles will not be restricted any longer. The only thing is that the 1948 styles have to prevail for 1944. After that the sky’s the limit. Chance To FarmShould Be Open To Every Farm Boy NUTRITION Are you a vitamin fan? Every time you read a vitamin article in which the symptoms of some vitamin deficiency are described, do you de­ cide that that’s exactly what’s the matter with you? Certainly it be­ hooves every one of us to keep up to date and learn all that we possibly can about proper nutrition. This knowledge is our weapon against these deficiency diseases and we soon realize the importance of following the Food Rules in our daily menus. We realize that if we do follow "the Food Rules we will not need to in­ dulge in these bouts of self-diagnosis —followed so often by self-treat­ ment.

The total cost to the Canadian government of the Que­ bec conference last summer, includ­ ing President Roosevelt’s visit to Ottawa was $366,596 ... the import­ ant Swedish Trade Mission has fin­ ished its conference in Ottawa out of which will come a trade agreement between the two countries with big post-war implications undoubt­ edly; on the Swedish mission were some of the foremost industrialists of that country . . . Dr. Liu Shih Shun, who has been Chinese Minister to Canada for two years has now presented to the Governor-General his credentials as Chinese Ambassa­ dor to Canada. Few of us appreciate that the cost of living during this war is much easier to take than in World War 1 days because of subsidies. It costa plenty of money, but folks will prob­ ably think it's worth it. Some inter­ esting figures in this behalf were tabled in the House* of Commons. Wartime Prices and Trade Board operations including inTport and do­ mestic subsidies or reimbursements totalled $115,378,235. with subsi­ dized imports amounting to $53,- 568,887. This covers the period from December 1941 when ceilings were introduced to December 31, 1943. On imported animal, agricultural products, fish and provisions, the sub­ sidies amounted to $6,718,456, in­ cluding: tea, $1,251,491; rice, cleaned and uncleaned, $1,143,335; cocoa beans, $698,359; potatoes, $811,174; prunes, $514,411 and oranges, $1,163,004. Major subsidy payments have been made for domestic dairy products,I the report showed. Butterfat subsi­ dies prior to May 1, 1943, when re­ sponsibility for payment was taken over by the Agriculture Department totalled $12!977.776. Subsidies to keep down milk prices to the con­ sumer totalled $19,009,699. The low down on reasons for a suspension of meat rationing may be explained in part by the fact that during the first 8 weeks of 1944 in­ spected packing plants of Canada slaughtered 780,000 more hogs, 50.000 more cattle' 10,000 more calves and 30,000 more sheep and lambs than in the same weeks of 1943. The tremendous impact of this on the handling facilities of packing plants can be measured by the know­ ledge that the increase in hog slaughtering was 80% over 1943. It is reported that there were over 102,000,000 pounds of meat in cold storage at that time, nearly twice as much as last year. It would be well to “save your meat coupons” as cautioned, because one day we may be in a position to ship lota more meat across; the Atlantic where it’s badly needed. In connecton with civic or muni­ cipal flections, regulations now are that members of the Armed Forces may participate, but' no special leave will be given for campaigning or other reason, and if elected, no spec­ ial consideration insofar as leave is concerned will be given to attend meetings or other duties entailed in holding office. Hog producers will be interested in the estimate that marketings are expected to be heavy throughout the first half of this Year. The highest level in history was reached when at Dec. 1, 1943, there was a total of 9,473,000 hogs on Canadian farms, an increase of 22 per cent ov^r 1942. The increase was more Inarked in the three prairie provinces, and com­ mon to all others but Ontario. The bringing of venereal disease out into the open has made the fight a winning one in Canada. Once it was a. hush-hush subject. Now public bodies in about all commun­ ities in the nation are co-operating with authorities to fight this social disease. Figures from the army, navy and air force, for instance, show that whilst1, in the Great War of J 914-18 one ‘ man in six waaf Infected with either gonorrhoea or syphilis, by 1943 (for the first six months), the figure was one man rm every 35. In 1940, the pooled figure showed that one man in eyery 18 was infected. The cost hns been tremendous. The Army alone, they tell us could have While the boys overseas have a constant date with the enemy, in their spare moment it’s reading that counts most with them. 8o now we learn that unwrapped magazines can be handed in to any post office in Canada for forwarding to troops overseas. Zone collection and for­ warding depots have been set up. Present plans call for shipment of 80,000 current issue mags each month, if you’re through with your favorite detective, movie, western or sports magazine, give the boys abreak. Women are certainly doing their part in this war; active on the home front in a hundred and one ways; latest figures show that there are more than 39,948 in the armed forces of Canada. On a per capita basis of total female population (ages 18-45) in December, 1941, there were 1 in 1250; in December, 1942, one in 134 and today one in 66. If you are worried about the right kind of flag to fly when a distinctive Canadian flag is required, take Prime Minister King’s word for it. The Red Ensign is correct dress for the occas­ ion. he told the Commons. You’ll probably hear more about the health insurance plan recently revised and submitted to the Social Security Committee of the House of Commons, a plan purported to give complete health services to the people. In a nutshell, the maximum levy will be $50 for married folk $30 for single persons. It will cost adults 12 dollars a year plus a per centage of income from those in the inconje-tax class amounting to 3 per cent for single and five per cent, for married persons. After the war every farm boy should have a chance to farm, said pr. G. 8. H. Barton, Dominion Dep­ uty Minister of Agriculture, in a re­ cent address to the 44th annual meeting of the Ontario Agricultural Societies held in Toronto."With the return of the armed forces under the Veterans Land Act farm manpower in Canada will be reinforced temporarily to some ex­ tent, but that will not insure the maintenance of the farm population. It has been estimated that farm own­ ership changes once in every period of twenty-five years,” he said. “Our present farm ownership population is much older than normal, so it may be expected to change quite rapidly in the next decade. The re­ turned soldier who desires to be­ come a farm owner will be in a posi­ tion to purchase a farm under fav­ ourable terms. The farmer who owns a farm and has a son who desires to farm can make it possible for that boy to farm. A few farmers may be able to make it possible for more than one son to farm, but many farm boys who may desire to farm are unable to do so, because they are unable to purchase a farm. The fanner who has no boys, or none who want to farm, is obliged to sell the farm when he is through. The farm boys in any community ought to be the logical successors of farms in that community as they were in previous generations. There is good reason to believe that they would continue to be were it not for the fact that the cash investment re­ quired und^r present conditions is beyond their reach. These boys ought to be just as good a farmer risk as they ever were and if means could be found for assuming that risk every farm boy would have a chance to farm. Regulations in connection with restrictions on construction are being eased to some extent, says a release by Munitions and Supply Depart­ ment. Construction, repair or alter­ ation of plants, previously exempted from license up to $2500 is now exempt up to $5000. Applications for Construction Control license for one and a half or two story dwellings not exceeding 1,000 square feet in area, will now be considered. Apart­ ment or multiple-dwelling construct­ ions will no longer be restricted to specific number of suites, but to three-story and basement-walk up type. If you want information, write them. Local conditions and the need for housing must at all times be considered, and of course there is always, these days, the matter of labor and material shortages.

"German guards in prison camps are not now nearly so cocky since allied bombings of German cities. They know what’s happening and have in consequence, begun to ease up in their treatment of allied pris­ oners of war.” This is the deduct- tion of Harold H. Leather, Canadian Red Cross official who returned to Canada on March 3rd after an ex­ tended trip overseas. “I spoke to 66 repatriated prisoners,” Mr. Leather observed, “and they all said German guards were beginning to play the game with prisoners of war. But they said the food was poor and all agreed that it was the Red Cross food parcels which kept them alive.” Mr. Leather is chairman of the Hamilton Prisoner of War Packing Depot. He made the trip overseas at his own expense, and saw how Canadian Red Cross handled its tremendous job in England. The Canadian Overseas Commissioner, Major-General Price, D.S.-0., D.C.M., V.D., stands high in the esteem of British Red Cross officials, he stated: Quality of Canadian Red Cross sup­ plies is the finest in the world, and the British people have especial praise for the supplies sent by the Women’s War Work Committee. "These fill a great need,” says Mr. Leather, “and I want our women to know that the work they are doins; is appreciated.” Spending several days in London with Field Marshal Sir Philip Che> woode. Chairman of British Red Cross, and other B.R.C. officials, Mr Leather says 'they toured out of London daily and visited Red Cross centers. There was evidence every­ where that the tremendous needs ot Red Cross, when the second front starts, are anticipated and apprecia­ ted. Red Cross will not be caught napping when the call comes for supplies. There will be a terrific drain on these, and-it is up to Can­ adians to-keep up their fine recordin thb/work. Going overseas, Mr. Leather sailed in a convoy which was many days in crossing and which was “chased. - from Iceland 'to the Azores.” 1 Phatleigh— ".Everybody tells ma that I am not as stout as I used to be."

EBENEZER BANDS ACROSS THE SEASALFORD TO SALFORD Salford, Ontario has had a very unique and happy experience during the past week, to welcome Leading Radio Mechanic John Moss of Sal­ ford, Lancashire. Salford is a Royal Borough with a history going back to the 14th Century, and with a population now around 250,000, in comparison to her namesake in Can­ ada with a hamlet, first named Man­ chester, but changed to Salford in 1851, with a history of less than a century. The mother Borough boasts of being one of the most intensive industrial cities of England, while her daughter boast* of being the centre of one of the most intensive dairy centres in rural Ontario. The friendship which has sprung up between the two areas, started in 1940, when the cities of England suggested to their name-sakes throughout the world that it would be a gesture of goodwill and much appreciated, if some co-operation could be instituted in raising Spit­ fires whereby the homeland could protect itself from the increasing blitz tactics of Hitler's Luftewaffe. Salvage was collected in response to the challenge and several amounts of money have been sent to Salford with the heartiest goodwill of every citizen of this area. A letter written by Rev. R. B. Cumming appeared in the Salford Reporter which caught the eye of a loyal Salfordonian on the high seas, in the person of LRM. John Moss, who took the opportunity as a private citizen to express his individual thanks to Canada for their interest in England in this time of testing. Correspondence continued with an invitation to visit here some­ time, which was graciously accepted. At the very first opportunity con­ tacts were made and LRM Moss was welcomed to Salford. It is men like this which make a nation great, who feel the personal responsibility of their homeland, and who become ambassadors plenipotentiary and carry with them greetings of good­ will which unite two hemispheres in interest and brotherhood. Needless to say, Salford took LRM Moss to fheir hearts and feasted and lionized him to the limit of their ability in the short time he was able to stay here. He so en­ deared himself to Salford by his winsome cheerfulness and keen in­ terest in all their affairs and people, that he is entirely welcome here again any time he can arrange his leave. He expressed his unbounded thanks for all kindnesses shown to him. Still another link in the chain of friendship across the sea was forged when LRM Moss was sent on to a former Salfordonian in England who came to this country a number of years ago and who has risen to be­ come Chief Engineer in the Windsor Waterworks Department, in the per­ son of Mr. Hugh Kellner, who has paid several visits of friendship to our village here. Needless to say, Mr. Kellner was thrilled to welcome Mr. Moss to Windsor and to extend to him a real Salford welcome to Canada. Mr. Kellner is another am­ bassador in his own right, for he never ceases to sing the praises of his homd town, and in correspon­ dence continues to bridge the gulf and to keep his native land more and more in touch with Canada.
