Born in Whittlesford, Cambridge shire, England, May 17th, 1854, she came to this country with her hus band. the late George Webb and three o'clock and on arrival of the parade headed by the Y’» Men's Boys’ Band and followed by the Lam’s Club, rhe Canadian Legion IngenoQ Branch and “D" Company Oxford Rifles, space was at a Stoker Lome Bowman of the R.C.N., was a recent virttor at the home of his brother, Ray Bowman and Mrs. Bowman, Whiting street. The honor roll has beer, erected on the property just west of the south entrance to Memorial Park and was veiled by a beautiful Union Jack for the preliminary part of the service. Rev. R. H, Parr of Trinity United Church, acted as chairman of the proceeding* and under hi* direct- . ion a very beautiful and impressive service of dedication was carried out. The parade was marshalled by Sergt-At-Arms Samuel Smith of the Ingersoll Branch Canadian Legion and the parade was in charge of Major B. J. Holmes, a returned vet eran of Dunkirk. The arrangements for the event were sponsored by the Ingersoll Lions Club under the chairmanship of John Borland. On the platform besides Rev. Parr, were His Worship Mayor K. R. Daniel, Major A. Jor dan of the Salvation Army, Rev. H. E. Merifield of St. James’ Anglican Church, Rev. Geo. A. McLean of the Baptist Church and Rev. S. W. Semple, the guest speaker, rector of St. John's Anglican Church, Tharnes- ford. The service opened by the singing of the hymn, "O God Our Help in Ages Past,” followed by the reading of the 91st P«ahn and prayer by Major Jordan^ After the singing of the “National Anthem” and “Nearer My God To Thee”, an address was given by Rev. Semple, who stated that it was very ‘ fitting that such a memorial should be dedicated on the day set apart as Empire Youth Sunday. He also spoke of the sacrifices of those whose names appeared on the honor roll, of the 665 names there were flags already placed opposite the pames of 16 emblematic of that number haring paid the supreme sacrifice. He suggested that while it* : was a great honor to die for the ■empire, it required a great deal of ' courage in these days to live for the empire. The unveiling of the honor roll was performed by two fathers of < men who had died in the discharge of duty overseas, Mr. S. H. Cham berlain, whose son died in the ser vice of the R.C-A..F., and Mr. Alfred Lockey whose son died in action with the Canadian Army in Italy. The presentation of the honor roll to the community was made by Mr. John Borland, chairman of the com mittee responsible for the. project This was accepted on behalf of the town by His Worship Mayor Daniel, who spoke feelingly of the thought behind such a gift "It is the first community honor roll to be erected in Ingersoll and while separate organ izations and churches had their indi vidual roll it was commendable that a community honor roll should be erected,” said His Worship. One minute silence was broken by the sounding .of the "Last Post,” and the “Long Revielle”, by Bugler Baskctt of the -Woodstock Bugle Band, Oxford Rifles. Rev. McLean conducted the dedication and offered the dedicatory prayer, followed oy prayer by Rev. H. E. Merifield, from th* Anglican Prayer Book. The proceedings dosed by the singing of "Onward Christian Soldiers.” The officials of the Lions Club have had a number of citizens complain that their children’s names do not appear on the roll and it is pointed out that it is the desire of the dub that all names go on and requested that any ommissions be re ported to Bigham’s store and the additions will be made. The names oh the roll are a* complete us poss ible and the club is depending* on re lative* to see that the list is a full representation of Ingersoll boys and girls who have joined the forces.

COUNTY ITEMS FARMER’S PLACE DI WAR EFFORT EXPLAINED James Shearer of Bright, former agricultural representative for Huron County, was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Kiwanis Club last Thursday evening at which members of the Kiwanis Calf Club, in charge of Grant Small, were guest*. After complimenting the members of the Kiwanis Club for the splendid work they were doing in sponsoring such a club and extending congratu lations to the boys on membership in the club, the speaker outlined some of the club's possibilities com paring it to the swine club as he had seen it in Lucknow. "Farmer’s contributions to the war effort," was the subject and Mr. Shearer reminded his hearers of a total war when all people, engaged in any and even* line of work, have to do extra work in order to main tain their share to release countless thousands for actual combat duty. He paid special tribute to the Can adian and American farmers for their splendid job of food 'production against the handicap of increased production with less farm help. Mr. Shearer outlined some of the contributions the farmers have made to Canada’s war effort, first and foremost being of course the in creased food production and the high quality of that production. He said farmers have been listed among those who have loaned their money to assist in this costly war; they have been in the line-up of enlistments, they have co-operated in the matter of blood donors. He quoted figures given by the Hon. J. G. Gardiner in which he said the marketing of beef cattle was some 86% higher than in peacetime; that of hogs 80% higher; 1 sheep and lambs 47%; calves 30% higher and eggs and poultry in simi lar proportion. The speaker said that this in- : creased production has been brought about partly because of mechaniza- ‘ tion; by many labor-saving devices ‘ too numerous to mention (dealing 1 especially with the cornloadcr); Hy dro, stating that no place appreciates .

The seating capacity was overtaxed in order to accommodate the crowds and standing room used along the east aide. Principal A. G. Murray welcomed the huge crowd and outlined the his tory of the schools' Empire Day pro gramme*. He complimented the pupil* on their co-operation with Miss Cuthbertson, the supervisor of music and assured the audience of an interesting evening. The opening chorus by the school choir, “Land of Hope and Glory,” was followed by greetings from the Board of Education by Chairman T. E. Jackson. The offerings by the Rhythm Band of Victory Memorial Kindergarten pupils were (a) “Polly put the Kettle On”, (b) “Bobby Shafts” and (c) “Hot Cross Buns”, during each num- ’ form, two girls for the first part, three sailor lads for the second and four little baker men for the final number. The leader of the band was Little Sandra McHardy. The Princess Elizabeth School Rhythm Band under the baton of Master Jackie Hutson, put on three very pleasing numbers, (a) “London Bridge”; (b) "There was a Crooked Man,” very ably illustrated by a member of the class, who appeared to be weighted with years, even though they were very few, anu (c) “Hickory Dkrkory Dock”, with a very large mouse to get frightened by the dock chimney. The children in the audience were especially pleased with this number. The school choirs next group brought out some very fine singing in two part harmony, (a) "Early in the Morning”, early English with descant by Geoffrey Shaw; (b) "All Through the Night,” Welsh air, and (c) "Road to the Isles", Scottish tramping song, introduced by Pipe Major Alex. Collins on the bagpipes and the choir following with good interpretation. Singing games, by fairies and brownies, pupils of Grade I and II from Memorial and Princess Elizabeth Schools, Waltz of the flow ers, by the school choir and waltzers, from Grades I and II, and a Folk Dance by Grade HI and IV, showed a great d^al of training and prepar ation. An outstanding feature of the evening was the singing of a group of boys with changed voices, their first offering, "Passing By Purcell, was so loudly applauded that they responded with a rendition of "Home on the Range.” The choir number, "British Child ren’s Prayer,” by . Jacques Wolfe, added a solemnity to the proceedings, and was followed by the old favorite hymn, ‘Wow the Day is Over," arranged by Barnby, unaccompanied and brought out a lovely two part harmony. A few remarks were given by Trustee Gordon Daniels, chairman of Victory Memorial School Property Committee, in which he spoke of the inadequate accommodation that is available for an occasion of this kind. A nejy__feature of the program this year was the crowning of the May Queen. The procession of the Queen and her attendants was her alded by a fanfare by Master Jimmie Miller and the party strode very majestically to the dais where the ceremony was later performed. School Inspector L. B. Hyde gave a brief outline of the institu tion of the crowning of a Queen of the May, and told of the method of choosing a Queen. 'She was the popu lar choice by the vote of her class mates as were also her attendants. The ceremony included the Maypole Dance, a folk dance and Shepherd’s dance sung by the choir. The crowning of the Queen was performed by chairman T. E. Jack- son. Those taking part in the cere mony wen the Queen of the May, Shirley Thornton; Lord of the May, Mildred Mansfield; attendants, Nancy Fleicher and Patsy Ferris, Standard bearers, Stewart Pole and Tom Douglas.

According to figures released by the Indian Affairs Branch of the Department of Mines and Resources, contributions of record at Ottawa total nearly >25,000. Purchases of Victory bonds and war savings cer tificates are well maintained among all Indians, and numerous outright donations marked for “the war effort” have been reported. Of the war services, the Red Cross is the most popular. The Wings for Britain Fund and overseas war relief organ izations are favoured by Indians in the West. Compilations made to mid-April show that the Red Crosa has benefit- ted to .the extent of >10,529, of which the Six Nations Band at Brantford contributed >5,200 and Blackfoot Band of Alberta, >3,050. Other war organizations to which contributions have been made are the Canadian War Services, >1,- 779.20; Wings for Britain Fund, >2,310.31; Canadian Aid to Russia, >610.84; London Orphans' Fund, >432.30; Queen’s Canadian Fund, >650; British War Victims’ Fund, >300; Salvation Army. >100; and the Catholic Refugee Children, >69. Purchases of war savings certifi cates have so far reached >5,241 and outright gifts to the war effort total >2,282.51. Chief Edward Gamble of the Kitkatla Band of British Columbia donated >100 and earmarked it for the British War Effort. Funds for these various contribu tions come from many sources. In some cases it represents interest earned on funds held in trust for them but in most cases it is the re sult pf initiative and hard work on the part of the Indians. Concerts, bingo parties, bazaars, rodeos, sports days and picnics, chicken suppers, box and pie socials, knitting sewing and quilting bees, and sale of cattle, hay and wood were the media for raising funds for these purposes. Some of the proceeds were used to send parcels and cigarettes to the 2,383 Indians in the armed services but the greater part went to organ ized funds. Money contributions forwarded through Ottawa do not by any means represent the full effort of the In dians. Numerous incidents are re ported by Indian Agents of Indians taking quick and effective action to meet local emergencies/ In one case in British Columbia an Air Force building was destroyed and a consid erable quantity of the personal effects of the airmen was lost.

Ner vously he tapped her on the shoulder and then said with a rush: “Harden me, Padtim. You’re ocenpewing the wrong pie. May I sew you to an other sheet?” Thought! The Forerunner of Action — by — Eveline A. Long sible. Only want of thought, a stag nation of the mind make the others impossible. Much of the life of man has been lived in fear and trembling. He has emerged from an age when the wild beasts of nature were his chief ene mies into a time when the wild beast inherent in man himself is his real foe. Until he can tame that and sub jugate it to his higher nature, he is going to suffer -periodic defeat; to be laid low by selfishness and pride and lust of power, that are the beast’s chief manifestations. He can aubdue them only as an individual, for no one can subdue them in another. Control them by force he may, pun ishing them by law when they grow to proportions where they come with in the jurisdiction of the law, but until they are eradicated in whole hosts of people, so that they can gain control over those who refuse to al low their better natures to rule them, not until then can we hope tn push forward to our ultimate destiny. We have come a long way but as Goethe says, “the-little that is done seems nothing when we look forwardand see how much we h'Xve yet to do.” It is useless to sit back and com placently congratulate ourselves on being citizens of the best of all poss ible nations in the (best of all poss ible worlds. Complacency never suc ceeded in getting anyone a step nearer his goal. The divine discon-^ tent that makes of man a most un comfortable companion, when our only desire is for peaceful inertia, is the one thing that has driven us on. It has pricked us and prodded us until we have reluctantly submit ted and forced ourselves to get up and move forward. These uncomfort able souls, endowed with this active and motivating discontent, have al ways been with us and until we reach perfection, the Lord will see that they always are. They make us see where we really stand, not as the well-provided and very satisfied min ority would like to believe, in a world that could hardly be improved upon, but in a world where millions die of hunger, and millions more, even in the mdst advanced commun ities, know scarcity of food and clothing and inadequate housing and sanitation with all their attendant evils. And where, last of all, nations wrangle and fight and know no other way of settling their differences but by devising devilish ways of killing one another off. It must be seen and acknowledged that man alone can do his own going forward; that he is master of his destiny and he must rouse himself, or be roused by others, to do the thinking necessary to promote act ion. Again according to Goethe, “To, act is so easy. To think is so hard," and it is thinking that must come first. Thinking, not by a few, not only by those whose discontent move* them to write and talk, but iby a majority who believe that there are things wrong with the world, that the best of all possible worlds lie ahead and that we must do some thing to push towards it Enough people knowing that something is wrong and believing that that it can be remedied, ' can eradicate that wrong. It has always been so. We got chfld-labour laws and general education and mothers’ allowances and old-age pensions that way. We can get slum removal and adequate health protection and a workable League of Nations and anything else we want badly enough in the safae .way.

Gallant boys from this Province and from other Provinces were aboard that ship. Some had been on her since she entered service two years ago and due to the exigencies of service had not been home in that period. All the men aboard her, including some Ontario lads who were form erly in the Navy League's Sea Cadet Corp, performed their duties in battle with the utmost skill and gal lantry, like seasoned veterans. It makes us all feel how much we owe these brave fellows. It comforts We Take Care o f Your Bonds • Why not kt us keep your war-bon^s here in our vaults, and clip the coupons for you?

IMPERIAL OF CANADA .NK Ingersoll Branch - J. R. Henley, Mgr. Woodstock Branch - L. R. Lloyd, Mgr. Canadian Agriculture, giving as it has such abun dant evidence in these days of prodigious war needs,of itsabilityto furnish ever-increasing quotas, is yet going to be faced with greater production programmes In the days following the liberation of the occupied territories of war-tom Europe. There Is perhaps no other single factor that has so greatly assisted the Canadian farmer to ac complish such record achievements as that of modem machinery. United with the farmer, in the job of continuously improving and increasing the efficiency of his methods of production, h the Implement Engineer. Massey-Harris, always a leader in the intro duction of time and labor sarthS equipment, has made another notable advance with its self- propelled combine which has revolutionized harvesting methods.

In its conclusion the Report says:“In brief, the Survey^hould not be regarded as a finished post-war plan. That would be to misconceive entirely the task undertaken, and so thoroughly carried out by the two Boards of Trade. But it is a basis on uhich to begin planning. And what has been done here for some 67,000 persons, can certainly be repeated elsewhere—to the permanent advan tage of Canada.” Armed with this evidence of a drastically altered economy, the Survey then turned to consideration of manufacturers* expectations of post-war production, of commercial business expectation of sales, and of residents’ planned purchasing. Bus inc =• men, the Report warns, could only conjecture and the private in- vividual guess at post-war income, prices and dollar-buying power. Nevertheless, the following major opinions were revealed: Business men believe their sales will aggregate in sum total, within one and a half per cent of 1943 rec ord figures; they believe that post war payoils will be reduced below 1943 payrolls by something like one sixth. It is pointed out significantly in the concluding chapter of the Survey that: “If . . . the percentage of payroll expenses to gross income from sales is appreciably larger than that which these firms expect, their opportunities for providing employ ment in this period may be less thanj they now believe." The average farmer plans spend ing $2,133 mostly for deferred main tenance or farm improvement; he has achieved record production— cattle population increased, hog {population went up 35 per cent, j poultry flocks increased 38 perc ent, | tillage was maintained—despite the i loss of approximately one man from | every two farm families, plus the loss of 700 hired men in the Survey area; he expects a shrinkage in his income of 17 & per cent; he expects , to rehire the 700 plus at least- 75 more., With no assistance predicted on i provincial or federal help, local government expects delayed con- : structibn of fire halls, subways, etc., ] to utilize 770 persons for a year; i churches and hospitals another 160; i public property requires delayed * maintenance by 95 men. j In view of the fact that in normal 1 times there is always a minimum of ' workers unemployed for incidental ] and temporary reasons, “we might * face the future with a good deal of 1 How is Canada food-faring during the war years? Not badly at all. Despite rationing and certain short ages, civilian consumption of prin cipal foods is at a higher level than pre-war years. According to "Can ada at War” for April, in term of nutrients our diet generally is bet ter, and here is how the 1943 con sumption compares with the aver age for 1935-39: Total meat plus 12%, beef plus 29*;, milk pro ducts excluding butter, plus 18%, eggs pies 24' J . butter minus 4'; and sugar minus 20'.. two years, whichever is the lower period, on foreign-going ships of Canadian registry. The Canadian government has arranged to operate a number of ships constructed in this country and a continuous flow of trained seamen is, of course, necessary. As a special inducement merchant seamen so signing will be provided once a year with round trip transportion at a cost to the seamen of one-third of the single first class or coach fare, for their annual leave. With the eyes of Canada focused on the Health Insurance bill before Parliament, a recent health service survey is of interest, which shows an inequality of distribution in, principally, physicians. While urban areas and high income localities are not so badly off, there are many rural areas which have no doctors at all. This works a great hardship on the people, mainly affecting health of older people and the very young. By the way, the Dominion Bureau of Statistic estimates that persons sixty years and over will increase by 20 per cent in the next ten years. In March, 1943 Canada had 11,620 physicians. 3006 of which were in the armed forces.The ratio of increase of physics ns has not kept pace with population as shown by a comparison of the year 1901 when we had 5475 for 5.371,315 population: in 1941 it was 11,130 for 11,506,656, or one doctor for every 1,034 of popula tion. In the United State it was one for 794. The main problem is one of distribution it appears. It is notable, however, that in 1943 Can ada had provided 4.5 physicians for every 1000 men and women in the armed forces. An enemy of food production on our farms is the lowly weed. The department of agriculture shows what can happen if weeds are left to go to seed. For instance a single plant of wild mustard, stinkweed, foxtail or pigweed produces irom 10,000 to 20,000 seeds; shepherd’s purse will run as high as 50,000 and the tumbling mustard about 1,500.000. What could a field chuck full of them do? Hon. J. L. Ilsley, minister of fin ance, hit the nail on the head ad dressing a gathering of presidents of organized women’s groups held in Ottawa last January when he said that the government could not have made its stabilization policy work without the co-opertion of women of Canada. Price control would have broken down entirely but for their support, he said, and if they had not beeii prepared gen erally to economise, to observe price ceilings, to refrain from hoarding and to practice conserva tion, nothing the government could do could possibly have been effect ive. This coming week has been been set aside in Canada to pay tribute to the women for the part they have played. An engineering graduate of the University of Toronto, Flt.-Lieut. W. E. Cowie of Ottawa, is respon sible for the research which brought improvement of the parachute to be used by the RXLAF.. which is much less costly, gives greater ease of movement and is completely fool proof. It will be used hy fighter pilots, instructors and trainees in confidence even if the Survey showed that the working population would exceed by several hundreds the number of prospective employment opportunities.” In the Albert Lea, Minn. , Survey which was widely heralded by the Chamber of Com merce of the United States of Amer ica, for example, the net result re vealed was 593 unemployed in the post-war year in a conununity with a total labour force of only 5,655. Thus, says the K-W Survey factual Report, the Kitchener-Waterloo post war prospect seems “too good to be true.” Approved by German authorities, pamphlets have been forwarded to Berne, Switzerland, for distribution to Canadian prisoners of war in Ger many. Subjects covered deal with advice to the next-of-kin, handling of the home pay account; insurance assignments, disposal of credit bal ances; rate of exchange; advances of pay by the detaining power, disposal of personal effects; promotions; mail and parcels; educational facilities and rehabilitation benefits. The pam phlet will help the camp spokesman or Senior Canadian in advising the lads of arrangements made on their behalf by the various departments of government concerned with their welfare.

JOHN LA BATT LIMITED The farmer, under certain condi tions, is liable to excess profits tax, that is if his profits, on all his farm operations after deducting the proper allowances for expenses etc., amount to more than $5,000. But there are qualifications. He is entit led in calculating his tax, to deduct from his total profits a salary allow ance for himself of not less than |2,500 and not more than $5,000, if he is affull time farmer, of course. A very clarifying statement in this connection has been issued by the Income Tax Department to the Can adian Federation of Agriculture, whose address is 165 Sparks Street, Ottawa. This Federation has issued a special press release and presume that anyone interested could get a copy. It simplifies figuring out what is usually a headachy job. Reduction of the butter ration for Canadians, temporarily in June, is influenced by the fact that output during the first four months of this year declined 12.4 per cent or nearly eight million pounds as com pared with the same period a year ago. As against this our record of cheese production for the same per iod showed an increase of 27.8 per cent. The subsidy of 30 cent a hun dred (founds has a big bearing on that, undoubtedly. When the tea and coffee ration upped 40 per cent recently, it is quite likely that tea was more wel come to farm workers than urban workers, and for coffee vica versa. An unofficial estimate is that 90 per cent of farmers drink tea. Because some employers do not keep adequate books and records some difficulty is arising in adminis tration of the Unemployment Insur ance Act, says a Department of Labor release, and regional inspect ors have been given authority to remedy the situation. While they do not want to force small employ ers to have elaborate book-keeping systems, yet there are certain re- quirments which must be met, mainly records giving name and address of each employee, whether insurable or not, actual days of work done by each, pay periods, gross remuner ation and deductions for the purpose of contributions. New regulations now permit Mob ilization Boards to grant postpone ment from military- training to maid school teachers for an unlimited time instead of six month’s as has been the case. Softball Catcher Is Honoured By Teammates Following a practise of the Nor wich Softball Club, the members met to pay honour to one of their players, 'Harry (Red) Tribe was the guest of honour in view of his approaching marriage. During the evening he was pre sented with a lovely table lamp and a card with all the players’ names. “Red” who is said to be one of the classiest softball players in the dis trict, was taken by surprise but cap ably hanked those present for the lovely gift.

F. Palmer, Director of the Horticultural Experimental Farm at Vineland. In an interview, Mr. Pal mer stated that the orchards had come through the winter very well and that the'budding on the trees was particularly heavy. With reference to the peach crop prospects, Mr. Palmer said that there was a very heavy budding, to such an extent that some thinning out might be necessary. He pointed oat that, as a result of the very unfav ourable weather of a year ago, the peach orchards had suffered consid erable permanent damage and that about 20% of the trees had been killed in the (Niagara Peninsula.

With continued favourable weather conditions however, he was confident that the peach crop would be much better than in 1943, when it was only 26% of a normal crop. Other fruits have also wintered well and budding is considered satisfac tory. In the Georgian Bay appla growing area the growers are looking forward to another good year. Last year's crop was exceptionally heavy-and there had been some fears that this year there would be considerable decline. The budding of apple trees in this section, however, indicates that another good crop is in sight if the weather remains favourable. G. F. Mitchell of Clarksburg, one of the larger growers and packers of apples, stated that the budding is far beyond expectations and that if a satisfactory set of fruit results, tho crop may be up to last year's stand- e»r>4 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 2S, 1H4With the Troops Dore tenter Mrs. Etue Hartl* MOSS LEY CULLODEN brother. end with her parent* at Corinth.

Dealing with chcu;;ht8 of the pic ture after the war, the speaker said that air power will assist dehydration and bring about vast possibilities in matter of food production. Here an entire new avenue could be opened up for peacetime Canada.

'T'HEY tell us that snapshots from home mean more to the boy* In the Service* than almost anything else we can send them. Of course this isn't a bit hard to understand, because everyone like?, to look at snapshots. But when k boy has been away from home perhaps for months —well, he’s just puln starved for a glimpse of the home folks and home surrounding*. And It’s up to us at home to provide that glimpse. What sort of pictures shall we send? Well, of course, simple, infor mal snapshots are usually'best. And he’ll want, probably most of all, pic tures of his girl—or his wife—of Mother and Dad, of kid sister or brother, perhaps some of his friends. And he’ll want these pictures to show his folks carrying on withtheir everyday affairs, doing the simple, familiar things that made up their life when he saw them last. Mother going about her housework,or doing the baking or feeding the chickens, or perhaps just starting out for a-^walk. Dad busy with his pipe and his newspaper, or checkingover his fishing gpar, or planning his garden. Kid brother can be pinyin* ball, tying a kite, or riding a bike.And so on. Just cheerful little glimpses of real people, his people, doing the real, homey things of everyday living.These are just a few random sug- gestl^ns, of course. Many other sit uations will readily come to mind when you really get down to busi ness. But be casual about ILHere’s something you might try: If you want your picture to carry an extrsrspeclal touch—to be personal ized^ as it were-r-ask your subjectto look smack into the lens of the camera. Then, when your Service man gazes soulfully at the likeness of his girt friend, he’ll be delightedto discover that she is looking right straight back at him. If you tell her in advance what you are frying to get, she’ll be happy to oblige withjust the right expression. The re sulting picture might very well be called a “speaking likeness"—to use an old-time phrase—and he’ll carry it with him through thick and thin,wherever he may go.And, just by way of reminder, film is still scarce, of course, so it mustn'tbe wasted In careless, random shoot ing. But, If you’ll just sit down and think matters over for a few min utes before making your pictures, any number of good, workable ideaswill occur to you, and you’ll be able to make the very best use of what ever film you are able to geL John van Guilder spenders than the farmers if kept on an equal financial and marketing basis such as they have at the present time. In closing, Mr. Shearer, said there is no finer type of life work than farming—it is the oldest in the world, it is honorable and satisfying and the production of good quality livestock and fdod calls for the best a man has to .offer.

A man with a nice cleverclean-shaven face, who mutteredapologies as he smiled. "So sorry.”• n n'y a pas de quo!.” (Don’tmention it) said Monsieur courteously.As John Wynter went on his wayhe reflected that it was hard luckthat this charming, courteous raceshould have been so brutally betrayed by their leaders . . . As heturned down into Pall Mall on his way to Whitehall, John Wynter be gan to bring back to memory thehappy holidays he had spent inFrance. To think of it now wasghastly. All that beauty and culture at the mercy of the brutebeast. Well, his time would come,thought John Wynter grimly, stepping back into the shadow of adoorway as he saw a man comingtoward him. With an almost imperceptible gesture he turned andsignaled to the man in plain clotheswho was following close behind him.A stocky clean-shaven man in a blue overcoat and bowler hat.The deputy manager of Lloyds Bank listened courteously to Mon sieur Victor.

But they told me she wassafe and had gone on ahead. Therewas no time; the Germans wereonly a few miles outside Paris.” Don't reproach yourself.” Mr. Paton spoke more urgently thanever. "Answer this advertisementand find out more about it I winsee that you can eash checks wherever you are."“I thank you.” Monsieur Victorgot up and the interview ended.Out in the sunshine again. Monsieurstood wondering where he should go. Into the Park? To a cinema, to think over his stroke of good luckin the shape of a little more money to live on. Which? As MonsieurVictor hesitated it was settled forhim."Hurry along there, please.” Thewarden in the tin hat looked businesslike. "You’ll find the nearestshelter in Jervis Street” The alertwas howling its warning. Obediently Monsieur Victor obeyed thewarden’s injunctions. So did JohnWynter on his way back fromWhitehall And as he stood in theundergound shelter he recognizedthe small man again. God, what asad face! Like a mournful spanielwith its flexible turned-down mouth. •Pardon ” He spoke purposely in French."H n’y a pas de quol," said Monsieur courteously, and then the flexible lips parted in a brief smile."Ah! Encore one fols, (Once again)Monsieur,” be said.“Yes.” And then as they stood and waited John Wynter began to talk. He was a good linguist; alsohe wanted to know what this Frenchman was doing here. Chatting amiably, he tried to find out.But Monsieur Victor had relapsedinto taciturnity again.When the AH Clear sounded theyslowly filtered out into the sunlightagain. John Wynter watched thesad little figure of the Frenchmanwend its way up St James StreetTragedy in every line of It. JohnWynter laughed at his flights ofimagination as he hailed a passing taxi and jumped into it He wouldhave to hurry, for he was already behind time for his appointmentAfter a night spent in the luxurious reinforced concrete shelter under her equally luxurious flat Mrs.Manvers-Pollock always felt extremely cross. Especially as thoseof her friends who had alreadymoved away into comparative safety were always writing that sheshould do the same.So when Mrs. Manvers-Pollocksaw the advertisement on the backpage of The Times, it all seemed to fit in. Joan Maturin got her letter two days later."Dear Sir or Madam:” (read Joan), “I have seen your advertisement in today’s Times, andshould like a few more particularsas to the accommodation that youhave to offer.

He thrust outhis head to give the order to thetaxi driver. The man was impressed. The next stop after thepost office was a famous building.

The num ber of fires, total damage, and costa, were the lowest for aay season in that 25-year period, and the fire losses which did occur were uni formly below average in ail the pro- An analysis of the figures released shows that the proportion of fires attributable to railway causes, (15%), was the highest since the period prior to 1930 when railway tires were being brought under rigid control. All provinces with the ex ception of New Brunswick, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan record a sharp in crease in railway fires. This might be attributed to greatly increased rail way traffic and the difficulties en countered in the maintenance of fire protection appliances on locomotives. Smokers* fire* also show a slight in crease in several provinces; other causes show sharp reductions. This report of reduced fire losses is particularly encouraging, especially in wartime when all our resources, both human and material, are being mobilzed for victory. In a large measure the reduction was due to the well distributed rainfall through out the season with only occasional brief periods when fire hazards de veloped. Given another favourable season it is hoped that there will be a still further reduction in fire dam age and fire fighting costs in 1944. Since 82% of all forest fires are of human origin it is a patriotic duty to substantially reduce them this year as a contribution to Canada's war effort. Apart from the need r of forest products for war purposes, the rec reational and aesthetic values of the forests are also of national import ance. Fires in national, provincial or municipal parks, or in other areas de voted to recreation, can cause within a few hours losses which may not be replaced in a century, and result in the destruction of untold numbers of wild creatures which add interest to these public playgrounds. Canada’s fire prevention and fire fighting services have been seriously impaired owing to the demands of the war. Between now and the day of final victory it will be necessary to depend very largely upon the the older men and women of Can ada to fight forest fires. This has been a very dry spring in many parts of the country and the fire hazard index points to danger. The obser vance of the following simple rules can do much to offset the lack of ade quate manpower, and fire-fighting: 1. Never drop lighted matches where there is inflammable material of any description. 2. Never throw lighted matches, cigar or cigarette butts , or pipe ashes out of a car window. 3. Never set fires to clear land or brush except where such fires may be kept under complete control. • 4. As soon as a dangerous fire is detected begin fighting it. It is comparatively easy to control a small fire but it is a difficult and costly matter to figfat a large one. THE MIXING BOWLSr AMMC AUAM«r*r» Hana taawearist Hello Homemakers!

This, however, should be considered from the storage methods available since one packet of seed will produce ap proximately one to two bushels of greens or such vegetables as carrots and beets, (topending upon the type of soil and the weather. Enthusiastic growers should remember that green vegetables have a short season and a second planting in three or four week’s time is a better idea. From one pound of good seed potatoes you may get seven to eight pounds of potatoes. The average family of four should store 550 pounds of potatoes for the year, if they are able to keep them in a well ventilated room at a temperature of 38 degrees. The good gardener calculates on two to three pounds of tomatoes from each stalked tomato plant. To matoes are a valuable product and economical to can.

The meeting which was of a most interesting nature, was the Outcome of enthusiasm on the part of local sportsmen, who were present in fairly representative numbers and. who greatly appreciated the spirit of co-operation accorded by the Association in gathering here instead of at Woodstock as ordinarily. Interesting feature's of the meet ing were four reels of pictures. These included hunting and fishing scenes which more or less thrilled those in the gathering wo derive pleasure from their rods and guns, as well as highly interesting pictures of dogs and of the war. Considerable business was tran sacted by the Association in the course of which keen regret was ex pressed by President Ratz at the fact that Arthur Embrey, Efficient secretary of the group, will soon be severing his connection with the or ganization, as it is his interition to return to the United States. WellReserved tributes were paid Mr. Em brey for his efficient services as sec retary and his fine spirit as a sports man, on behalf of the Association. ' An announcement, received with much interest by those in the gather ing was that streams in* this district had recently been stocked with trout.

Then again, amongst other things, he reported that the total registration for correspondence courses was 120,361 on March 31 of this year, that 7,670 classes with an enrolment of 196,849 men and wo men were conducted, that over 270,000 text books were supplied, and that guidance manuals on about fifty gainful occupations were being issued. In view of the numerous stories circulating since the recent arrival of a small group of refugees and about Canada’s attitude in general on the question of such refugees, it must be reported that such individu als also groups have been admitted also rgroups have only been admitted into this country only after a thor ough investigation on each case so that these persons must be able to satisfy all Canadian provisions, in cluding a guarantee that they can be transported to Canada, that they will not become public charges, that they are in proper health, and that they have complied wit all other legal requirements. In other words, these refugees can only enter under certain specific conditions, and there is no mere "open door" policy, with an assurance having been given only a short time ago in Ottawa Shat a full statement on refugees will be forthcoming shortly in this session. This is interesting because it is known that there are several thous and refugees in Spain and Portugal alone who are seeking a haven, with Canada having a representative in Lisbon, and quite a number of re fugees in other countries are look ing, for a country where they can enter especially1 in Turkey and Sweden.

If you want some good picture subjects, take the time to It’s well worth It when you can get results like PICTURE making on the farm is something that many town and city folk are likely to overlogk. But It seems to me that a trip' into the country, and a visit to a farm, is afine thing for anyone with a camera —and a splendid way to spend a day at this time of year, getting pic* tures to send to those In the Service who always welcome snapshots of familiar scenes that recall happy days back home. Picture making on the farm is oneof those things that might beginwith daylight It you’re up that early —though 1’11 bet you’re not. In any event, the earlier you get started the better, because then you canmake a series of pictures as the farmer milks the cows, feeds the chickens, tends to the horses, and turns 4he stock out to pasture.Working step by step—or picture by picture—in that fashion is an excellent way to approach any pho tographic subject, particularly one as big as a farm, because it keeps you from missing many worth-whilesnapshot opportunities. When going out on a picture taking expedition be sure to choose your subjects carefully because, asyou very well know, film Is scarce. Think before yon shoot and ask yourself, “Will that make an Inter esting picture?” If you are not sure —pass it up.Don't fail to get some pictures of the men working in the fields. Look for interesting angles as they plow or harrow the land. If you stand back some distance you’ll find thata plowman makes a perfect center of Interest for a landscape. Keep your eyes open and you’ll find action, still-life, animal, story telling and human interest picturesin abundance everywhere that men work in the country.
