A petition from residents of the North Town Luie and Oxford Ave,, was presented by CouociUor C. W. Rtlae ..king for water service. The • petinmi stated that for a number of years the residents of that area had bee. trying to get the municipal­ ity to provide them with water ser­ vices and fire protection but had been put off on each occasion. The last time shortage of pipe and mater­ ial was given as the reason and as it is understood that this shortage is not so acute at the present time, the petition was renewed. All the committee reports recom­ mended payment of accounts. The Finance Committee also recommen­ ded a grant of $50 to the Big 8 for their children’s celebration on July 1st. The Relief Committee recom­ mended the apointanent of Councillor H. T. Bower as acting mayor during the absence of Mayor Daniel at the convention of the Dominion Feder­ ation of mayors. The Market Com­ mittee refunded the hall rent to the Oxford Fish and Game Association. Under the head of enquiries, Coun­ cillor W. C. Watson wanted to know if the time was not at hand to start the preliminary planning for sewer­ age as a post war project He ex­ plained that as it would be neces­ sary to get a vote of the ratepayers, a consulting engineer should be en­ gaged and figures ready to submit in a by-law. He also said that while other projects such as a Collegiate Institute and Hospital might be sug­ gested, Ingersoll has one of each of these and he felt the establishing of a sewerage system should come first Councillor Morrison in speaking on this matter said that as late as 1939 an engineer had been here and looked over the plans and had the war not intervened at that time, the matter would have been proceeded with. He agreed with Councillor Wat­ son that now is the time' to get started on the project Councillors Bower and Murray also spoke in agreement and on the sug­ gestion of Mayor Daniel it will be gone into fully at the next commit­ tee meeting. Councillor Riley pointed out that the Provincial Highway repair men had been in town and had drawn to his attention the need for renewed paint on the signs at the entrances to the town.The matter of water services fof the North Town Line and Oxford Avenue was discussed and will be taken up with the Public Utilities Commission to see what can be done. The matter will be in abeyance un­ til the report from the commission. P/O. Joseph Foster has left to re­ port at Halifax after a two weeks' leave with his mother, Mrs. M.

Italy, May 18th, 1944 Dear Kiwanians— Once more I have been the recip­ ient of cigarettes and three copies of The Tribune, which I greatly appreciate, I can assure you all. Cigarettes post-marked 9 March 44; Tribunes, 9th March, 16th March and 23rd March respectively. I am very much in favour of receiving the paper, as it sure keeps me posted on The Home Town News. I sure put in many of my spare momenta with the reading of same. Thank you. I trust that these few lines find all members and their families in good health, as it leaves me doing just that, in the Italian sunshine which sure is doing a good job of tanning the troops. I also hope that you have received my previous ac­ knowledgments for the papers and cigarettes that you have been good enough to send to me. L/Cpl.

He was also an active worker in St. An­ drew’s Church, Verscboyle. He assist­ ed at the building of the first church in the village 50 years ago and for many years was chairman of the Church Board. He was a member of St John's Lodge, No. 68, A.F. & A.M., Ingersoll. Left to mourn the passing of a dearly beloved husband is his widow, to whom the sympathy of scores of friends is extended in her irreparableloss. The funeral will be held from his late residence, Verachoyle, on Friday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, to St. An­ drew’s Church, for service at 2.30 o’clock.

Warham, A. Appleton, J. Kish, H. Mogggach and C. Todd challenged Woodstock to -bowl at the Hoffman alleys in Woodstock for a large silver trophy, total pins to count for five games. The Ingersoll players won the game and brought the trophy back to the Ingersoll National Alleys where it may be seen. The Ingersoll players have also issued another chal­ lenge to any Woodstock or Ingersoll team. The local players are of the opinion that the Woodstock team from Hoffman alleys will accept a challenge in the near future and if they bowl as they did here recently against a Foldcn’s team, the Inger­ soll team will have to bowl some real games to hold the trophy as Wood- stock got,over 1,000 pins each game. They rolled 5,890 for five games total against Folden’s. ' Following are the score., of, the match that won the trophy: Ingersoll—A. Warham, 1,247; A. Appleton, 1,009; J. Kish, 996; H. Moggach, 1,099; C. Todd, 1,199; totals, 5,550. Woodstock—P. West, 1,088; B. Topp, 931; C. Sabitine, 1,242; W. Todd, 998; A. Smith, 1,058; totals, 5,807. Child Was Attacked and Bitten By Dog According to a complaint re­ ceived by Chief Constable Alex Cal­ lander, Harry Shelton, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Shelton, 198 Victoria street, was savagely attacked by a large dog about noon on Saturday. The child was .said to have been bitten on the right forearm-and on the left leg. The leg wound was described as being of a serious nature. It was said to be four or five inches long and that the animal’s teeth had penetrated deeply. The in­ jured lad received medical attention which included cauterizing of the wounds. Chief Constable Callander stated that the owner of the dog had been- advised to have it destroyed.* Kiwanis Lieut Governor To Visit Ingersoll The distinguished guest at the meeting of the Kiwanis Club this (Thursday> evening, will the Lieutenant Governor of the Western District, Ontario - Quebec - Maritime Division of Kiwanis, Dr. A. R. Mc­ Millen of Sarnia. The meeting will be held at the regular hour, 6.15 p.ml and it' is expected there will be a large attendance. wwlten a very interesting letter to to* the 'tribune. He cites some of the necessities as he sees it for a happy post war period: The Ingersoll Tribune, Ingersoll, Ont It has been a great pleasure these two years or more to receive the Tribune. I must confess that a lot of the names contained therein are un­ familiar but that is understandable considering I have been away from the home-town for seven yean. Still that fact is a good thing, it makes me think; one name leads to thought of another and it is surprising how much of your past life can be relived by suc| a train of thought. One can too easily lose their home-town con­ tacts, but how good it feels over here to meet someone from home. Home was brought very closely to me just the other day. My job over here is unique in many respects. For one thing, every day I apply a use to the airplane which has vast post-war possibifties. My job is primarily not flying, but I fly myself all over Southern England to do my job. In other words I use it as a com­ mercial traveller would his car. However, the other day I found my­ self in the west of England, not far from Wales; and like 'commercial travellers’ I had a flat tire. It looked like a comfortable station and it woujd be late before my tailwheel was fixed; naturally I stayed. Whilst partaking of that English custom called ‘tea’ in the officers’ ‘hotel’, I came upon Fit./Lt Charles A. Lam­ bert. Methinks that the R.A.F. offi­ cer who had squired me up to the mess thought me very impolite be­ cause I could not restrain mySelf from leaving his sentence unheard and rousing Charlie from his lethargy (undoubtedly caused by the copy ofThe Times he was reading). With the exception of only a few minutes, Charlie and I talked from 5.30 until J.30 a.m. People who fly are noted for their persistence in talking ‘shop’, but strangely enough Charlie and I talked of the home-town and its , people. When I came to think of it afterwards, I realised that it was the first time since Sammy Douglas left to go home two years ago that I had talked tbout the home town. That isn’t a very good record. I really felt ashamed of myself. In January when my brother and I were on leave to- , gether, I realised how little each of ; us knew about the home-town of this day. Although I have been away from Ingersoll for quite awhile, I am not ; sure if I am qualified to talk object­ ively df it or not. However, I have seen towns of similar size in three 1 English-speaking countries and < that may make up for the lack of 1 objectiveness. In this country there ' is a lot of press-talk about recon- ; struction, especially the larger cen- ! tree which were-badly hit. In practic- 1 ally all _cases, the reconstruction 1 plans are unanimous in breaking up 1 the larger places in several smaller, I self-contained cities. It is rather par­ adoxical that the larger one’s place of living becomes, one’s circle of 1 friends becomes smaller. Psychology ] applied by these town-planners is > trying to stay this trend and it is a good thing. It does not take much living in a Nisen hut to realise how much a comfortable home and friends means to a person’s happi- newu^Iore and more my uniformed comrades are beginning to believe that the prime object in life is hap­ piness; true happiness and not that happiness generally associated with the acquisition of large amounts of worldly wealth. There are still large numbers of them who have not di­ Kintore—Struck by lightning dur- i ng the severe electrical storm of Wednesday, Ma» 31st, the large L- shaped barn of the farm of Perry Whetstone, north of Kintore, was completely destroyed. Two bulls,several calves and a number of pigs, some of them ready for marketing, perished in the flames. A threshing separator on the barn floor was also destroyed. Mr. Whetstone did .not know of the fire until advised by neighbors. Stratford—A 27 year-old man was convicted of striking his mother-in- law over the head with a piece of wood. Costa of $1.00 were assessed against the defendant. Mitchell—Fire completely des- 1 troyed the barn on the farm of John Gloor when struck by lightning about tnidnight on Wednesday, May 1st. 12 pigs were removed from the barn. The cattle had been left in a field. Belmont—Mrs. W. C. Barons who has three sons serving in the armed forces, unveiled the honor roll in the Belmont United Church with the names of local boys and girls on active service. Two flags were alao presented to the church by the Wo­ men’s Association and the Young People’s Union. Rev. George Oliver had charge of the service. Tilhonburg — John McNeil, St Thomas, New York Central Railway engineer, has been charged with criminal negligence in connection with the death of tiwo lads 7 and 6 years old on the afternoon of»April 28th, about six miles east of Tillson- burg. The coroner’s jury reported that they did not feel proper precau­ tion had been taken by the engineer to avoid the accident.

THE CANADIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY “BRITAIN’S FIGHTING GIRLS VISIT RED CROSS WAREHOUSE To Junior Commander* M. Wim- bury and X. Richmond-Paton, of the Auxiliary Territorial Service, the Ontario Division’* Receiving Depot at 88 Richmond St., Toronto, was "fairyland”, and the Canadian Red Cross a "fairy godmother," when the two officers -were recently con­ ducted on an inspection tour by Mrs. J. C. Fraser. The blonde and attract­ ive Scottish lasses are here through an exchange with C.WA.C. officers now training in England. As they had themselves received the toilet bags which Canadian Red Cross sends to Britain’s fighting girls, they came in person to see them packed and to say thank you. “You have some wonderful knitters in Canada,” and “Oh! We have slept under'your quilts in our sick bays” they exclaimed as they inspected the knitted garments, the clothing and quilta being packed for overseas. The capture parcels, the shipments of clothing for Greek women and children, the survivors’ bundles, all claimed their attention. But the toilet bags they termed "invaluable.” Bags contain tooth powder and brush, face powder and puff, safety pins and bobby pins, tissue, cream, towels, face cloth, soap and hair nets, rouge and lipstick and other items, all almost impossible to purchase in England. Soap, of course, can be bought, but a coupon buys a very small cake which must last two weeks. The visitors were entertained at luncheon in the warehouse canteen. They told of the A-TJ3. duties. The Service has 20,000 members, officers and other, ranks. Formed in 1938 on a voluntary basis in 1941 they be­ came the first women in the history of the world to be conscripted. In­ teresting jobs include duty on the ack-acks, on the gun teams, in the gun pits; their instruments charting and finding the position of enemy planes. The shrill feminine voices can be heard squeaking "on target. . fire!” followed by the tremendous crash of the guns. Commander Wimbury had an op­ portunity to know Canadian Red Cross benefiits last winter when she was stationed in command of the most northerly units in England. Woollies, and most of all the toilet bags, brought a lift to their tired spirts. She termed such kindness on the Red Crow’s part, a wonderfully uplifting thing. Both ^>ung women have, as a ges­ ture of Appreciation, volunteered to speak to Red Cross Branches during their stay in Canada. 1 served light refreshments.Misa Ret* Turner of Ingersoll,visited recently with Mr. and Mrs. H.

The Ontario Farm Service Force camps for boys, located at Burling­ ton, Leamington and Harrow, are now in full swing, -with approxim­ ately 240 boys now hard at work in the vegetable areas of these districts. In addition, some 450 to 500 high school boys’ have gone to work on individual farms, it is reported by Alex. Maclaren, Director of the On­ tario Farm Service Force. While the camp* now operating are filled, there is an urgent need for more boys for camps at Holland Marsh, where there are still vacan­ cies, and at Blenheim, Harrow and Flamborough, where the camps will open on June 15. The greatest demand for the mo­ ment, however, is for high schools boys to go to work on selected indi­ vidual farms throughout the prov­ ince. Thousands of boys are urgently needed to fill the applications made by farmers and any boy desirous of going to an individual farm for the summer holidays can be placed at once. Owing to the prospect of bumper crops in Ontario, the demand for help is far beyond that of any previous year and officials of the Farm Service Force are finding it impossible to cope with the demand with the number of volunteers avail­ able up to the present.

In other words, on the annivenray of each year's employment, employees become eligible for a week's vacation with pay.The Industry and Labour Board, under which body the Act will be administered say* that while plan* are now being laid for the operation of the Act, it would be unsound at thi* time to impo-t arbitrary change*. The need for all-out production on essential war materials might be seriously interfered with if drastic changes in present hour schedules, which might be made necessary in conforming to the terms of this Act, were made. This is particularly true in view of the man-power shortage existing at the present time. The Board, therefore, considers that a postponement of the provisions of the act regulating "Work hours” is necessary, and will be necessary, while the present critical production requirements and acute shortage of man-power exists. “The Board therefore authorises the continuance of existing working hours in all industries operating on priority war materials in the Prov­ ince of Ontario,” the statement says. Industries engaged in agriculture, horticulture, fishing and the pro­ duction of foods and farm products; dairy industries including cheese and butter production; firms engaged in the building and maintenance of roads, construction, transportation, texttiles and other undertakings which can be considered essential to the full maintenance of the war effort, shall be considered in the category of war industries in so far as present working hours are con­ cerned.

Although we may have to skimp on the sugar if we make our little cookies and cakes successfully for the wedding luncheon. Retaining such symbols and at- mosphere as seetn significant to you, don't hesitate to plas simply for a wedding. Perhaps shortness of notice or uncertainty about leave for the groom, will put anything elaborate out of reach. However, with a gen­ eral plan of a flexible sort made out, complete with accurate lists of every­ thing from the guests to the punch recipes, everything can go smoothly. We’ve been making plans for a wedding luncheon at home and of course these foods are uppermost in zny mind to-day.

Washable floor mats should be washed in real soapy water that is not very hot The carpet must be well-rinsed or else the washing will merely serve to flush the dirt down into the pile. 2. A rag rug that is washed will remain clea£ longer if dipped into a thick starch solution. It will also stay in a better position on the floor. 3. Make certain that “washed" floor mats are thoroughly dried be­ fore putting back on the floor. MAJOR-GENERAL R. E. LAYCOCK. BRITISH CHIEF OF COMBINED OPERATIONS —’Portrait study by Y.

Hon. Arthur Meighen, had aent a telegram immediately to the Pro­ gressive Conservative leader in the House of Commons, Gordon Gray- don. who had read it in Parliament a* following: “Am informed that Government officials have published a statement representing me as owing the Printing Bureau some $171 since 1925. Have never known or heard of this alleged debt until to-day. My secretaries, then and since, say they similarly have no knowledge of any such claim. All printing ordered by me, or on my authority, or with my knowledge, was paid for. Numerous accounts have been rendered me since by the Bureau, and paid with no claim made for past balances. Under these circumstances, I con­ sider it an outrage that my name should be blazoned throughout Can­ ada as a defaulting debtor. Please read this telegram to the House of Commons.” an extremely silent and attentive audience in Parliament, “I feel more reassured that I have at any time as to the certainty of ultimate vic­ tory.” But at a later point during his talk in a tense atmosphere, the Can­ adian Prime Minister added these significant words, “I believe that It is going to be longer than perhaps most of us can imagine.” DISCLOSURE IN ADVANCE In order to avoid any possible tendency on the part of buyers and builders of much needed housing throughout Canada to delay until the legislation .would be made, the Gov­ ernment has already disclosed in ad­ vance several points of its housing legislation to solve this urgent prob­ lem. These have revealed an imme­ diate decrease in interest rates to 4 ’,4 per cent on new loans under the National Housing Act, an increase of $1,000 in financing of new housing extension of loans over longer periods of 25 or 30 years at a later date, a continuation of the housing conver­ sion scheme in certain municipalities, more use of the construction of low- cost projects where 90 per cent of the capital is provided by the Gov­ ernment and 10 per cent by private groups, and a programme of Wartime Housing Limited to build houses for dependents of members of the armed services. NO SURPRISE In view of the report that Lord Beaverbrook, Britain’s Lord Privy Seal, had -rejected the Canadian plan for post-war civil aviation, it must be made clear now that the —~xv~~ PROTECT.

Spend as little as possible. Save all we can. NEVER patronize the blade market. JOHN LAIATT LIMITED WAGES INCREASE It will be interesting for the man- in-the-#treet in Canada to learn that, according to a statement in Parlia­ ment, wage increases in this country totalling $150,000,000 a year have been approved under the conditions of the wage-control regulations and the wage-control level in this nation has reached an all-time high. HEATED DISPUTE The trip overseas of four Canad­ ian women to study British women’s organization has been raised in the House of 'Commons and it has brought forth quite a dispute, with these women being Mrs. Gordon Kon- antz of Winnipeg, Miss Agathe Dore of Montreal, Mrs. Jules Laine of To­ ronto, and Miss Helen Doherty of Ottawa. Information was sought how these women were chosen, their pay­ ment and so forth. However, in re­ ply the Government’s spokesman said that these four women were chosen to go overseas not as indivi­ duals representing any particular body, but as representatives <Jf the Department of National War Servi­ ces, wtih each one of these women having been highly recommended. COST OF WHEAT OPERATIONS Wheat operations of the Canadian Wheat Board from the time of its inception July 31, 1943, have in­ volved a cost of $82,249,580 and op­ erating surpluses have been $55,449,- 282. This information was supplied in Parliament by the Minister of Trade and Commence, Hon. James MacKinnon. COST OF LIVING RISE In regard to the latest report of a rise in the cost-of-living index in this country from 119.0 to 119.1 dur­ ing a period of a single month, it must be stated that information in Ottawa has been that the price and wage control policy will not be ex­ amined again by the Government unless or until this index will Involve an increase of more than three per cent which will remain for at least two straight months. GRAVE PROBLEM A statement on the “Japanese problem” in Canada and the Govern­ ments policies will ibe made during the present, session. This has been promised in the House of Commons by Canada’s Minister of National Defence, Hon. J. L. Ralston, who had indicated that this grave problem had been under careful long consid­ eration and that the proper time for it* discussion was when the estimates of the Department of External Affairs were before the House of Commons. The number of Japanese in Canada was 23,363. CANADIANS ARE SAVING While it is true that savings de­ posits in Canada’s chartered bank* usually move downward temporarily after a Victory Loan campaign and this will appear probably when the next official figures will be released yet the latest report in Ottawa has revealed that a new all-time mark has been made by the people of Can­ ada in saving their money since such savings deposits have amounted to no less than $2,225,400,000 in the banks with this refuting some of the stories circulating throughout thia country that Canadians are not sav­ ing their money during thia wartime r w-v-1 ..»wwL0BLHUI5 47* Custard Powders 2 Double Cream Costard 25c Gravee Browning 2 19c Garden Peas 11c LOBLAW GROCETERIAS CO., LIMITED RATION COUPONSVALID Cracked ( Wheat FLORIDA FULL o r a n g ; Ogilvie Blendiex 19# ALPINE CLUB DOJBLE SODA J S F sL .2^2 3 * NEW CROP MISSIJ Greens E NEW CALIFORNIA!

How To Construct Milk-Cooling Tank Spoilage of milk is almost invari­ ably the result of bacterial action. While the number of bacteria in freshly-drawn milk depends chiefly upon the care taken in cleaning and sterilizing the utensils and equipment with which milk comes in contact, the length of time milk will remain usable is also dependent upon the temperature at which it is held. Hence the importance of prompt and thorough cooling of milk on the farm. - Various methods of cooling milk have been advocated, but for the fluid milk trade it is generally accep­ ted that best results-are obtained by placing the cans in a well-insulated tank filled with ice water and circu­ lating the .water to speed up the cooling process. While the ice may be placed in the tank in blocks, the greater convenience of mechanical refrigeration 'unit* is leading to their widespread use. Whichever form of refrigeration is used, it is important a well-insulated tank be provided, otherwise heat will leak into the tank so rapidly as to decrease its efficiency and increase the cost of opention. , In co-operation with the Division of Bacteriology and Dairy Research, Science Service, the Architect-at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa^ has prepared detailed plans for the construction of ah insulated milk cooling tank which may ba used either with natural ice or with mech­ anical refrigeration. Copies'of these plans may be obtained free of charge ' by writing to either the Architect or the Division of Bacteriology and Dairy Research, Central Experimen­ tal Farm, Ottawa. Oats, Barley To U.S. Shipments of Canadian - Oats and barley to the United States during the first 40 weeks of the 1944-43 crop year, totalled approximately 64,000,000 bushels, made tg> of 41,000,000 bushels 'o f oats and 23,000,000 bushels of barley. Com­ pared with the corresponding 40- week period in the crop, year 1943- 44, the shipments of oats are up more than 6,000,000 bushels, and the shipments of barley about 9,000,000 bushels.

W ill Be Bears The wild animals that roam at large are one of the chief attractions of Canada’s National Parks. ’ They are often seen along the roads and trails and in the principal recrea­ tional areas. This is particularly true of bears. Secure from harm, they become more or less indifferent to/ the presence of human beings. ’ Though these “clowns of the for­ est’’ provide a great deal of interest and amusement of visitors,. old and young alike, it should be remembered that they are still wild animals, very strong and active, and when aroused capable of inflicting serious injury. Distressing accidents, the result of visitors feeding and petting the bears, have been recorded in recent years, some proving rather serious. Most of these accidents are due to over-fam­ iliarity. When a bear becomes accus­ tomed to being fed, and food to his liking is not forthcoming when re­ quired, he will take it. He will raid the campsite, kitchen larder, car, or garbage can and make himself a dangerous nuisance. Then he is no longer amusing, particularly to those who suffer loss as a result of his de­ predations, and he must be shot. Feeding a bear or petting a cub means in most cases signing its death warrant. During the summer of -1043 there was born to one of the black bears who frequent the townsite of Jasper, in Jasper National Park, Alfaprta, four cubs, three brown and one black. As the birth of these quadruplets was rather unusual, they were quite an attraction, not only to visitors but to the residents of Jasper as well. For some time after they were born the mother kept them away from the town, but a stealthy visit during the nightrev taled the l-oayfqflsqmpffip night revealed the abundance of food, of sorts, in garbage cans. From then on these cute little fel­ lows were doomed. They quickly be­ came accustomed to towns-people who went out of their way to make “friends” with the cubs. Countless chocolate bars, biscuits, and other tasty titbits were fed to them in the process. Hundreds of feet of film were exposed showing the public feeding-the cubs in various poses and children rolling on the grass with Post War Re-action (Continued from page 1) vorced the idea that a large bank account means happiness in the sameratio. As a respected citizen you wield a certain influence; is it too much to ask you to induce your friends to give a little thought to 'selling* the home-town back to the boys who have been away from it for so long. Actually I started to write a letter of thanks for all these cigarettes and parcels which have been sent to me over her. Tipping is a disgusting convention, but would you believe it that a couple of cigarettes are a more appreciated tip than a half-crown.

They will have lost much of their attractiveness but not their liking for the contents of gar­ bage cans and chocolate bars, As soon as there is a shortage of this food, they will raid basements and kitchen larders and tents and there will be a call for the warden’s bullet to end the life of one or the other of these cute little cubs of 1943. Thrill of * Lifetime! A bear in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, with a sweet tooth for chocolate, gave one party of girls an unforgettable few min­ utes. Four girls were resting beside a trail and had just about finished eating some chocolates when they saw a bear coming down the trail to­ wards them. They decided to remain where they were but, to their hor­ ror the bear came right up to them. He sniffefi^around for a few mom­ ents. licked the face of one of the girls who had been eating the choc­ olate and then ambled away. Need­ less to say the girls were petrified with fright, which was just as well for, had one of them screamed, the bear might have severely injured them. Wild animals in the national parks must be treated with respect. And if visitor* want to be really kind to them, they will refrain from either feeding or petting them, however much they may be inclined to do so. It should be remembered that even tame bears are still nrild animals with a lot of wild ancestry behind them and their apparent tameness is only a thin veneer. —National Parks Bureau A young matron taking First Aid training had reached the resuscita­ tion stage.

It isn’t that one must give up one’s own, but amply that the practice of self-negation be ex­ tended in some degree to take in others. There are those who think we ean never get nearer the millen- ium; that it is impossible to uproot the aeifishneM that prevents the world becoming kinder and better. It may be so, and yet I cannot help but think that we are improving, for we are extending help far outside the limits of our own particular groups. We aak for aid for this or that charity and invariably get it. We seek help for the blind and aged, for little crippled children, for or­ phans and casteways, and it comes to us. People who know no one in the depressed classes, pour out their wealth, or give of their time and energies to support those who, in former times, were almost utterly neglected. Surely selfishness has been curbed there by some, by many, in­ deed. Why then think that the dom­ inant trait of selfishness is so in­ grained that it must remain forever? Perhaps it will, but may it not be that it will decrease; that people will come to see, are even today seeing, —a world in which some suffer from poverty and neglect is never a safe world; that we cannot have wealth and luxury side by side with vast discontent and not have upheavals. It is so with people of the same country and race; it is even more so with pepole of different countries and ‘ races.

Shifting his handround to his hip pocket he felt thestubby nose of his automatic. No,not personal danger; he took his hand back again. And then helooked upward.

Yet this very fact makes the situation all the more serious from the standpoint of food because, unless the urban people come to the rescue and help the farmers to harvest their crops, thou­ sands-of tons of precious foodstuffs will have to rot in the fields and orchards. This is the basis of an urgent appeal made by Alex Maclar­ en, Director of the Ontario Farm Service Force, asked all towns and cities in the Province to take ijmfie- diate steps to organize Fann Com- to-work volunteers' to assist in the haying and harvesting. In the last three years such com­ mittees have rendered valuable ser­ vice in harvesting operations and their help is needed more than ever this year. Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, Service Clubs, Frat­ ernal Societies, church organizations and other community groups can render a valuable service to the war effort by taking the Initiative and giving leadership in the formation of local Farm Commando Brigades, Action should be taken now in order to have volunteer help available when, the haying season starts.

Now you have some.news for him,” (Experimental Farm News) It is well known that the poultry brooding period is the most exacting from the standpoint of most nutrients of the whole growing period. It should not be taken for granted, however, that the birds can entirely forage for themselves during the rearing period. There are definite demands during this period, particu­ larly for minerals and vitamins which must be met if growth and condition are expected to be normal, says H. S. Gutteridge, Poultry Divis­ ion, Central Experimental Farm, Ot­ tawa. A relatively dower rate of growth and the fact that the stock is out on pasture in the sunlight dur­ ing this period mean that less pro­ tein, minerals and vitamins need be given in the ration. A study of the principal differ­ ences between brooding (starter) and growing rations bears out the foregoing statement. Growing rations are lower in protein and minerals, ^io not contain cod liver oil and the amounts of high priced vitamin bear­ ing concentrates such as dned milk, fish meal and dried green feeds are reduced. The requirements for pro­ tein and minerals are reduced be­ cause of slower growth, cod liver oil is omitted because the birds can get vitamin D from sunshine and vita­ min A from green pasture and the other vitamin bearing concentrates are reduced because green grasses or legumes are an excellent source of a rich range of vitamins. These statements emphasize the importance of good pasture. If the pasture is not good, (fresh and green) and judgment in the matter must be left largely to the farming experience of of the operator, certain alterna­ tives can be considered. A poultryman may continue to feed a starter mash which is more than adequate in all respects for the rearing period relying on gradually increasing the proportion of scratch grain fed to keep the intake of all nutrients at the levels required for rearing and to thus reduce the cost of the ration. On the other hand, a growing mash which contains cod liver oil and which is intermediate be­ tween the starter mash and the usual growing mash in protein, minerals and vitamins may be mixed to make up for pasture deficiences, but this would seem to be the least practical and desirable of the two.alternatives. While it is becoming more gen­ erally appreciated that the condi­ tions of rearing are important in de­ termining the future egg production of the pullet it is also obvious that efficiency and economy m rearing are necessary to successful poultry husbandry under post-war conditions; Research recently carried outsat the Central Experimental Farm, Ot­ tawa, has indicated that overfeeding of costly protein and vitamin feeds and insufficient .reliance on good pasture as a source of these mater­ ials has been common in the past.

And we must not forget such - articles as old letters, envelopes and , cigarette boxes, The aggregate amount of such fragments is large and would help j enormously to overcome the short- ( age of waste paper which daily be- (comes more serious. The importance ’ of fragments is brought to light inthe following, which is taken from ’ an article by William B. Wheel­ wright, appearing in a recent issue of “The Paper Maker", published by , the Hercules Powder Company. ‘ "Gather up the fragments that ] remain, that nothing be lost— John VI, 12. When the white-haired preacher of , an old Massachusetts Meeting House announced this text for the morning sermon, he soon increased my atten­ tiveness by citing the savings of rags for the paper mills. A fnend across the aisle tossed me a surrep­ titious wink at the compliment paid to the scavengers of the rag bag. The time had then not passed when the frequent and nasal call— “any old rags, any old bottles" echoed through residential neighbor­ hoods. In those days, the pin money of many a family was augmented by the sale of the fragments gathered and sold. As long as rags constituted the main dependence of papermakers for raw fibrous material, both towns and countryside were combed for supplies. The city Junkman took care of urban , collections, which included also old bottles, bones and grease. He seemed ■ to make his own price and there was little hope for haggling over that, but it was well to keep an eye on the weighing, or counting. The transact­ ion was generally on a cash basis. The country collector operated on the rather more intriguing method of barter. These itinerant dealers, known as “tin peddlers”, drove their van-like wagons from farm to farm, exchanging their wares for rags, and selling the latter to the mill owners. In order to give a more authentic account, let me quote from an article written perhaps fifty years ago, by the late Charles H. Chamberlain of Dalton, Massachusetts.. “The tin peddler was very much of an institution in those days of widely scattered homesteads, for he furnished the easiest and sometimes the only link of communication be­ tween the isolated farm houses and the outside world. He was always a welcome visitor, and usually had regular stopping places where, in ex­ change for the latest news, and for the spiciest gossip about near and distant neighbors, he was regaled with a meal, or a night’s lodging. “He would stop at every farm­ house on his route, and while friendly gossip was being exchanged, the wo­ men of the house would eagerly ex­ amine his ‘stock.’ When they had made up their minds as to just what articles they needed, their stock of rags which had been careiully accum­ ulated and stored'in the family rag- ‘ hohiw t>. amputation caps.

Anyone making the 8 year jumper ■ dress, please see that it measures ‘ LESS than 22 inches from shoulder ; to hem. as over that length requires four more coupons in England. A very lengthy and instructive Bulletin has been received from Headquarters and War Work Con­ venors may have the use of a copy by applying at the rooms. This is well worth reading in every Red Cross group. There is an urgent request for chintz comfort bags to be made for boys in hospitals. These should be bright coloured, about 12 inches wide by 18 inches deep and closed with a double tape. A white cotton patch 5 by 7 inches should be stitched on front of bag.

Sometimes,-of course, the peddler received ' some cash in return for his goods, but usu­ ally the whole transaction was on a strictly barter and exchange basis. “The official weighing of the rags was" always done by*the peddler, and the operation took place somewhat after the following faahion. The scales were at first the old-fashioned steel yards, and the peddler would jab the hook hanging from themjnto the bag of rags, and aa quickly as he could, lift the bag from the floor, and at the same time, shove the weight out along the yard. “Right here the peddler's reputa­ tion aa an honest man was put to test. If he were honest, he followed either one of two procedures. In case the customer was a hard bargainer and demanded more of his goods than in fairness she was entitled to, he shoved the weight a minimum dis­ tance along the yard and as quickly dropped the bag. If on the other harid, he was dealing with a “reason­ able’ person, he pushed the weight along until a true balance was ob­ tained. A peddler who, on the other hand, would bear watching, followed the first procedure. “Later a spring type of scale superseded the “steel yards.’ These scales were shaped much like the or­ dinary thermometer, and were usu­ ally about eight inches long, with a ring at the top and hook at the bot-: tom. The peddler held the scales wrapped in his hand, and if he were so inclined, would, by the pressure! of his fingers, make the pointer on the face of the scale ‘do tricks.’ No doubt the tin peddler could say with Mark Twain, ‘honesty’s the best pol­ icy.” I’ve tried both.” To-day, the familiar junk man with his wagon collects very little, if any, scrap paper.

Ingersoll Public Schools yesterday held short programs in honour of the King’s birthday. At Victory Memor­ ial School, the junior grades gathered at 1.45. Following the opening hymn, “O God Our Help." Mrs. H. Beattie, representing the I.O.D.E., gave a short address. A second hymn, “God Bless Our Empire,” was followed by the salute to the flag, the National Anthem and the program concluded with a recessional, “Land We Love.” The program for the senior grade ^as held at 2.45. The hymns used were “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” and “Land of Hope and Glory.” Mrs. C. K. Long, also of the I.O.DjE., addressed the pupils. The recessional was “Road to the Isles.” A similar program was used at the -Princess Elizabeth School, where Mrs. Beattie gave the address. To-day. (Thursday), all the Inger­ soll schools are closed in observance of the birthday of His Majesty. A disastrous accident Occurred at Port Stanley on Sunday, when a pleasure launch sank. The launch was about a mile from shore with a load of passengers when the engine stop­ ped and the passengers became pan­ icky, rushing to one side and tipping Of the passenger list 13 were fes- cued including one of the operators, Ted Vining of London. Three bodies were recovered on Sunday and up to Wednesday there were still 14 missing including the other owner of the craft, ‘Sidney Smith of London. The accident is the worst lake tragedy in the district for a great number of years. A large number of the missing were under 16 years of age. The ILC.A.F.at Fingal and Ayl­ mer used their crash boats and planes in searching for other bodies of victims. On Wednesday a new type of grappling irons were to be used in an effort to locate the bodies still in the water. qkSNAPStar GUILD FOR BETTER PICTURES WATCH DETAILS Notice to Creditors and Others Animal Diseases Which Affect Man From as far back as the days of the ancient cave man, who contract­ ed deadly anthrax from wearing the skins of wild animals, medical and veterinary science reveal numerous diseases which both animals and man share in common. The germ of Bang’s disease may cause undulant or Malta’ fever in man; erysipeloid (not to be confused with human erysipelas) may be transmitted to man through swine erysipelas; “food poisoning’, diseases result from eating unin­ spected or diseased meat or from milk from cows suffering from mas- titus; trichinosis is sometimes con­ tracted by man through eating raw or partially cooked pork which con­ tains the trichina parasite occasion­ ally found in swine; sleeping sickness in horses may infect man with a similar type of disease, and the highly contagious and deadly anthrax may be passed on to man through jpntact with the carcasses of animals which have died of that disease or from contact with the germs where- cver they may be. In combating these diseases, vijter-. inary science has made great stifles but perhaps one of the greatest vic­ tories of the veterinarian in protect­ ing mankind from disease is the achievement in Canada during the past ?,5 years in curbing bovirie tub­ erculosis. Before this nation-wide campaign was instituted, the non-pul- I monary type of human tuberculosis, transmitted to human beings through the milk of tuberculous cows, was the cause of a heavy death toll. To-day this type of tuberculosis is rarely seen in hospitals. But the fight is not over. There may still be residual bovine infection in some areas. Cattle must still be tested to prevent a re­ currence of this deuses, and to main­ tain what has proved to be a great contributing factor to the health of the nation.

The picture may also tell a story, or con­ vey an idea—but whatever its pur­pose, the eye should be pleased. Picture arrangement has a greatdeal to do with this matter of pleas­ ing the eye.
