Earl Gibson Passes Away in Toronto The death occurred at his home in Toronto on Sunday morning, follow­ ing an illness of several years’ dur­ ation, of Earl Gibson, son of the late Postmaster Joseph Gibson and Mrs. Gibson. He was widely known, especially to the older residents of Ingersoll, many of whom will recall his active participation in sports dur­ ing the early days. He received his early education at the Ingersoll Pub­ lic School and Collegiate Institute and later graduated from Toronto University in civil engineering. While in Ingersoll he was a prominent soc­ cer player and a member of the team which won a championship. While attending Toronto University he was also an outstanding rugby player. The late Mr. Gibson began his career as a civil engineer with Roger Miller & Son, with whom he was connected for more than 20 years, during which time many important government contracts in the building of breakwaters and other extensive undertakings in various parts of Can­ ada were successfully fulfilled. He had been a resident of Toronto for about 40 years and was prominent in pro­ fessional and business circles.

Gibson and son Ralph, attended the funeral which was held in Toronto Tuesday after­ noon. July 20th, 1944 Dear Mr. Underwood— I received the pen which the town has sent me and I want to take this opportunity of thanking you for this most welcome gift. A good pen, over here, is unattainable and highly treas­ ured by its mmer. I showed mine around to the fellows and I think I saw the green light of envy in their eyes. Apparently other towns don’t send gifts to their soldiers as none of them have received anything as yet. Anyway it makes me mighty proud of good old Ingersoll and I know the other fellows feel that way1 J too. There’s not much to report from ’ this side as we aren’t allowed to ' travel and consequently I haven't 1 seen much of England. The section 1 we are in is very pretty, one of the ‘ prettiest I think, but also very wet. 1 The longest spell of good weather lasted about four days. There are no real heat waves here like we’re used ’ to at home, but then I haven’t been 1 i here long enough to make eompari- 1 I sons. xI’ve bumpeiFinto a few Ingersoll lads recently. The most recent being Maurice Longfield and Nick Condos, ’ who is an S.P. at the gate of our . camp. Others are Keith Mabee, Joe 1 Maurice and a couple more I can’t 1 remember just now. Well, it’s about time for lights out, (Continued on page 2) j The sixtieth wedding anniversary i was celebrated on Friday last by Mr. land Mrs. Theodore Thomas Harvey of Haines street when the happy occasion was accorded a reception at the home of their grandson, Wilfred H.

Farmers Try To Destroy I Pests—Need Ammunition OXFORD ««d NEARBY COUNTY ITEMS Port Dever—The 5-ton passenger boat, “Lady Simcoe”, wsi tied up last week by the customs officer for failure to provide proper life saving equipment for a boat of its clans. The boat normally operates from this port. Other tie-ups were made by Mounted Police. The action was taken following the investigation into the fatal mishap at Port Stanley when 17 lives were lost in a June pleasure cruise. Woodstock—When Donald Vigar, aged 17, admitted in court that he had told Selective Service to “go to blazes**, after quitting a job without 7 days* notice, he was fined $50 and costs or one month in jail. St. Thoma*—David Allen, aged 75, who lived for three years with a .22 calibre bullet in the pericard­ ium of his heart, died last Thursday. The accident occurred when he was employed on the civilian staff of the R.C.A.F. Technical Training School. Stratford—Emil Ruff fractured his right arm when he fell with a top­ pling ladder while working in front of a store last Thursday. It is thought the strong wind caused the ladder to fall. St. Catharines—For the first time in 62 years, the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta was forced to post­ pone a race because of rough water on the inland old Welland Canal course here last Thursday. Port Burwell—Harry Davidson of Windsor and Joseph Gooding of Lon­ don, report having seen a large mus- keliunge several times last week while fishing in the Big Otter River here. They say that the large fish was approximately three or four feet in length and estimate the weight as being around 25 or 30 pounds. Messrs. Davidson and Good­ ing saw the huge fish several times near the surface of the water and endeavoured to catch it, but without success. Several other residents of this district also report having seen this huge fish recently. Waterford—The fire department responded to a call to the Burgess Farm at Villa Nova, when a field along the right of way of the M.C.R. became ignited on Friday. The fire was started supposedly from a spark from a passing train. The grain was cut and shocked, but the wind spread the fire from shock to shock. About an acre was burned. Tillsonburg—A record wheat crop has been threshed on the farm of H. R. Hughes of the 9th Concession of iDereham Township. The crop averaged 58 bushels to the acre, 967 bushels of choice wheat being threshed from 17 acres. 75 loads were hauled from the fields to the thresher. Mr. Hughes has been farm­ ing for 35 years and this is the big­ gest crop of wheat he ever grew. Numerous applications have been received by Robert McNiven, secre­ tary of the local ration board, since the beginning of spring from district farmers for permits to obtain ammu­ nition with which to destroy pests on their premises. In many cases ammunition for .22 calibre rifles has been desired. Most of the applicants have set forth in their applications that the ammuni­ tion was essential as there had been an alarming increase in birds and ani­ mal life that they consider detrimen­ tal to their interests. Among the pesta listed have been groundhogs, foxes, starlings and crows. Fanners have also reported that the starlings are appearing in much larger numbers than usual, while in some sections foxes have become a real threat to the poultry flocks. Last winter a number of foxes were reported in a district n few miles north of Ingersoll, and during an organized ''drive** one reynard was bagged by a local banter. * Princeton—Jack Mothers], a 13- year-old lad was instantly killed Sunday night when he rode his bicycle into the fast Eastbound flyer at the C.N.R. station.

The English of course a*i everyone knows are doing a great job, (don’t tell a Scotchman that.)

There has been a flat, categorical denial in Ottawa in regard to an al­ leged statement of policy made by the ' Premier of Quebec that farmers, I farmers’ sons and farm hands could I secure their release from the armed 1 services if they are required on the'farm by obtaining three certificates! from the parish priest, the mayor, and the agronomist.

CLOSER SUPERVISION ASKED INDEMNITY OF REPRESENTA­ TIVES Behind the story of the heated de­ bate amongst members representing all political parties on the topic of taxation of their $4,000 sessional in­ demnity when each man followed his own inclination irrespective of party in maintaining that the indemnity was too low if a proper standard of living was to be continued as expect­ ed by members, it must be reported that the minister of finance, Hon. J. L. Tlstey, listened to this argumen­ tation about the need for adjustment of the indemnity tax of the member of Parliament but he left the strong impression that he himself did not favour any such change at this time, though he did not close the door on A strong plea has 'been made in the House of Commons by Rev. Don Mclvor, member for Fort William, Ontario, that the proper department of the Federal Government should control or watch much more care­ fully the sort of publications that are sold on news stands across Can­ ada. “They are the type of maga­ zine that no one would want to allow into their own homes,” he said in part.

He also re­ vealed that the net debt of Canada had gone up from $335,996,000 in 1914 to $8,842,000,000 on March 31 of this year, estimating that it would rise in the present fiscal year to about $2,500,000,000 and that it would be approximately a total of $11,300-, 000.000.

He had spent his lifetime in this district having been bom in Dereham Town­ ship and followed the occupation of farming. He was in his 59th year. A member of the Church of the Sacred Heart, he had been faithful to his duties within the church and had many friends in Ingersoll andthe- district. Besides his widow, formerly Alice McDermott, of Ingersoll, he is sur­ vived by four brothers, James, Michael andd Joseph, of Deerham; Peter, of West Oxford, and one sis­ ter, Mrs. John Fallon, St. Thomas. The funeral was held from his late residence, North Dorchester, on Sat­ urday morning to the Church of the Sacred Heart, Ingersoll, where re­ quiem mass was celebrated by Rev. Father A. Fuerth at 8.30. Interment took place in the Sacred Heart Cemetery. The pallbearers were James, Michael, Peter and Joseph Shannon, William Fallon and James O’Neill. John C. Bower Passes Following Heart Attack FARMERS AND BUDGET There is considerable talk behind the scenes along Parliament. Hill about the rtcent-sharp criticisms of some of thfe aspects of the Govern­ ment's budget this year with a prom­ inent member of the Official Opposi­ tion in Parliament having propound­ ed the view that in some directions the budget did not reflect sufficiently on the .main industry of agriculture and in comparison only a very small percentage of the money raised fromtaxation went to agriculture. In ad­ dition he had declared in part in no A well known figure in business circles of Western Ontario, in the person of John €. Bower, passed away at London on Tuesday follow­ ing a heart attack. Mr. -Bower had been * identified as a commercial traveller for 50 years and hod been with the National Grocers since the company’s inception. Mr. Bower was bom in Ingersoll, but for the past 40 years had resided in London, and was highly esteemed by a very large circle of friends. He was a member of Colborne Street United Church. Left to mourn his passing are his widow, one daughter, Marjorie, Lon­ don, and two sons, Jack of Baggot- yille, Que., and Harry of London; also two brothers, George Bower and Councillor Harry T. Bower of Inger­ soll, to all of whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended. The funeral is being held this (Thursday) afternoon * from the George <E. Logan (Funeral Chapel, London, to the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery. There is not in the whole world a place as dear as that we call home. We may not have the kind of a place that others admire or even a place that we fully admire ourselves. It may be inconvenient in its layout, ugly in its contours, too smalj for pleasant living, or in a neighbourhood about which the real-estators would be condescending, but provided it is a place where love and consideration and understanding have their being, it is the one place of all others to which the thoughts of the roamer most often fly. Ask anyone who has suffered an enforced absence and he will tell you that his dreams, both night and day ones, are all of home, of loved ones. It is the place to \ which he would first fly. if offered the world besides. It isn’t perfect ’ perhaps; the people who make it home are not always congenial; he prob­ ably at times quarrels with them and privately compares them unfav­ ourably with others of his acquaint­ ance, but his love lies deeper than the surface of things, and he recalls in his adsence, not the differences, not the unsatisfactory or unpleasant, but all the things that made him love them as they loved him. We feel very sure that the boys who have gone abroad to fight will be anxious to get home as soon as the war is done. After their wand­ erings in many parts of the world, they may find their home places too quiet, too tame. They are sure to miss the excitement that keys them up to endure, and the companion­ ship of men they have grown to love and admire for their fortitude or their liveliness, but home, however quickly they tire of its sameness after they return, will still remain enshrined in their hearts, an anchor­ age against the§vorld. Love of homeis only sentinint, perhaps, but it is sentiment that has survived and strengthened through all the gener­ ations since the first man found himself a cave and dragged into it the first female to help him found the first home; to separate himself and his from the rest' of the herd and make the place his castle. It is our place of sacred intimacies, of birth and death and all in between; the place where memories are born, where bitter and sweet are inter­ mingled with the commonplace to make life itself. How then could “home” be other than the sweetest word in our language, in any lan­ guage, even in a language which like the French has no word for itr for home is still there, a wordless thing of the imagination and greater than any mere word can make it “Home, Sweet Home?”, the wist­ ful song of a man who had no home, but in whose memory heart was the memory of one he once had known bolstered by the race memory of millions of home the world over. It is not the place of wood and stone, the shack orfthe palace. It is the place in the heart of man himself, ’ which is why, no matter how time changes the form of our places of residence, home itself will forever remain unchanged. Veteran Rehabilitation Calls For Tolerance and Planning There are over 26,000 miles of railway in France."* Toronto — “Rehabilitation of the ex-serviceman goes far beyond pro­ vision of federal aid and will involve careful planning and great tolerance on the , part of many,” Stanley E.

WOODSTOCK ONT. states in the League’s August bulle- 1 tin to industry. In an article entitled, “When ’ Johnny Comes Back To Work,” Mr. Caldwell states that rehabilitation of ' the ex-serviceman is a problem of 1 personal readjustment which calls ’ for sympathetic guidance, and, in many dhsps, vast tolerance on the. part of relatives, friends, employers and co-workers. Employers and co-workers espec­ ially will have an important respon­ sibility, according to the author. “The school boys of 1940, if they do not resume their studies, will go job­ seeking with characters forged in the heat of battle.” Mr. Caldwell quotes a personnel manager who states, “Many of these lads are different from those ‘who mature under the influence of civil­ ian life. Some of them are torn be­ tween a need for discipline, and a resentment of it. Others have enthu­ siasm and bold courage—a flair for taking a chance—which is diluted by an intense yearing for security.” The Johnny who left his job for the controls of a plane or the sights of a gun, is apt to 'be a quite differ­ ent person after two, three or four years in the services,” Mr. Caldwell continues. “Some of these veterans will be sick physically or mentally.” The medical director of a group of Ontario plants is quoted as saying: “They last a month or so on the < job and then want to do something ] different. I think that we should plan very carefully in connection with the , rehabilitation of workers who come , back from the services.” j A lot of guidance and co-operative . effort between management and sup- 1 ervisor and medical department will be required. “The hesitancy of some manage­ ment to hire physically or mentally handicapped personnel on grounds that they are more susceptible to injury or otherwise constitute a com­ pensation liability is regrettable and fallacious,” Mr. Caldwell declares. 'Cki'dful sudTps of factual data show that the physically handicapped workers are just as valuable, and often more valuable than the able- bodied. xnv- -aSbf fiffi— Ma Caldwell cites the case of a soldier who returned to civil life with an artificial foot, the result of hav­ ing walked into an Italian stable that had been mined. Today the veteran works skillfully at hand-reaming and burring operations. “Blind persons and even those sub­ ject to epileptic fits are working effic­ iently in some factories.” “All the problems of rehabilitation will not be industrial,” Mr. Caldwell says, urging factory health pro­ grams, which depend on medical-in­ dustrial teamwork for the supervision of general health. “Make no mistake about it: Johnny and his ex-service pals are going to respect the employer* who plays on the team,” In an assembly of divines, the witty Archbishop Whately was once asked to define the difference between the English and the Irish clergy. Replied the Archbishop: “When you are lisjtening to an English preacher,- you want to stay awake, and he won’t let ’you; when you hear an Irish preacher, you want to sleep, and he ^on’t let you.” McC lary CookrfovesWE HAVE A LARGE DISMAYOF COAL and WOOD STAVES PRE ZINC amf FRUIT 1 SERI JUJBBI ^KETTLES yd^RUIT JAR RINGSfPOTTLE FUNNELS GARBAGE CANSjSCREEN DOOj|S Zinc Coated......$1.60 to $2-75 COMBINATION DOdRS . •CARR'S In g e r s o ll H a r d w a re PHONE 89 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUG, 3, 1944 *1 thought perhaps you wouldn'tcome back!” Shaking and weeping,•he wu tn his arms.TeU me, my darling.” He heldher close to him. “Odette," hesaid desperately. “It's bo frightful­ly important to have confidence be­tween you and me Especially justnow TeU me all that frightensyou.”Only two more nights before shecommitted the supreme crimeagainst her country and her soul I haven’t anything to tell.” saidOdette. “Men always think womenare on the verge of some ridicu­ lous confession or other.” Did he ordid he not wish he had never mether. he wondered, after she had gone.

Buthe uttered a little scream as avoice spoke at his elbow. ‘‘Made agood job of it, Alfred?""Yes. sir.”"Yes. that’s all right,” Fergussaid. ”1 should get along home nowif I were you.”“Yes. sir.” said Alfred, thankfulto be off. “Heil Hitler."“Heil Hitler."

If only he could put thatman out of the way. Fergus sud­denly felt reckless. Carefully pick­ing his way down to the beach, hesent out a low continuous whistle.Mrs. Manvers-PoUock heard it.hurried across the room, crept downthe stairs and out the front door.In her dazed mind she thought onlyof the sea. Somehow it was con­nected with John Wynter. “Com­ing. coming , . ."She gasped outthe words as, brought up short, shestruck out wildly and then wentheadlong over the crumbling cliffto fall with a thud at Fergus Lei­ter’s feet. In his sick terror hedid not wait to look. With criminal speed be climbed to the top, pickedup the incriminating wire and flung it over the cliff. As though death was at his heels, he made for thehotel.And later he hinted at this. “Your wire has done the trick, Alfred."he said later. “And if you don’twant to hang for it, keep yourmouth shut. We shan’t hear of thatbeggar for some time. “Good night,my boy. sleep well."“Good night, sir." Alfred wipedthe perspiration from his top Up.Gone—Mr. Wynter gone! Dead—killed by him. He, Alfred Cummins,was a murderer. He rushed outof the back door, with the winddriving him back. Careless of con­sequences, be beat at the front door of Pole Star House.“Come in. What do you want?" Grace spoke angrily."Mr. Wynter—” Alfred gasped."Hallo, Cummins." John's eyeswere calm. Taking the shaking boy by the shoulder, he shepherded him into the empty sitting room, andshut the door. “This won’t do," he said. “You mustn’t show your feel­ings like this. What’s the matter?"“I thought you were dead," saidAlfred, with staring eyes.“Dead, why?" John's quick brainleaped. The wire; something hadhappened.“Mr. Leiter, he came homepleased.

But you and Imust get Leiter somehow." “You must pretend you knownothing about it. Do you under­stand’”“Yes. sir.”At the hospital John Interviewedthe bouse surgeon.

Tonight wasthe night of the raid on Swansea when Mr. Wynter was going to catch out Miss Hannan. Then thenext day they'd have Mr. Leiter himself.Fergus bad already warned thegirl in the office that be was leav­ing. It was reassuring to find thatshe took his departure quite as amatter of course. Fergus felt atease again as be flicked round thesuitcase in front of him with a hand­kerchief.“Start at the end of the rail and caught her to him and covered her dear face with kisses. Safely within her room she lift­ ed her clenched fists high above herbead. "Oh, God help me!” She would lock her door to be perfectly safe. Did the door leek? Yes. Butthe key had gone.

Now shecould rest until midnight.The old grandfather clock in thehall had just struck half-past mid­night when John heard the firstdrone of a plane He opened hiswindow . . . Nothing in sight yet.He tiptoed down the ball andstepped inside Odette’s room. Theroom was pitch dark, but the droneof the planes was very audible. Shemust be by the open window, be­hind the blackout curtains—he had thoroughly examined the room theday before, when he had also re­ moved the key from the lock.Crossing the floor with thestealthy tread of a cat, he draggedthe curtain back. With a stifledshriek she turned to face him. get on with the packing.” he com­manded. And Alfred did as he wastold. One suit after another untilfrom the coat in the middle, a lit­tle carelessly handled, fell a fatleather case. Like a lizard, Alfredstooped and picked it up. and putit in his pocket. AU he wanted todo now was to get round to PoleStar House. Il was half-past three,just the. time to catch Mr. Wynter. If only he could get quit of this packing business, he could cutround and be back again before anyone noticed. It was vital! Thecase was fat with papers! It wassure to contain a code.Fergus suddenly stopped walkingabout the room and clasped bishand to bis pocket. “Seen a leath­er case, Alfred?"“A case. sir. Is this it. sir?" Al­fred, standing half inside the cup­board. draped with a mackintosh,had taken the case out of his pock­et There were times when you hadto let go so as to hold on tighterlater.“Yes, that’s it" Fergus felt hisbreath go short. "That was an im­portant case, Alfred." Fergus couldafford to speak jauntily now."Yes, sir," said Alfred solemnly.It was a ghastly disappointment,but he had done the right thing inbanding it over immediately.“It looks as if it was going tobe clear tonight. I hope Miss Han­nan doesn't bungle the job. ThankGod they’ve got shutters at PoleStar House, otherwise that beggarwould have thrown a spanner intothe works by having her there.”"Yes, sir.” said Alfred, feelingvaguely disappointed. Set free atlast he strolled downstairs, think­ ing that this affair was really end­ing very tamely—for him, at least. The great opportunity had slipped through his fingers.In the midst of the group at PoleStar House Odette sat. pale and si­lent, smoking. “You look awfullytired," Joan said suddenly. "Whydon’t you go to bed early?”“And I’ll bring your dinner up toyou. if you like,” John offered.“If I did go to bed I shouldn’twant any dinner," said Odette. Odd­ly enough it was easy to smile.When the horrible thing was al­most on you, you did not feel any­thing. Before many hours wereover she would have revealed to aloathsome and bloodstained enemythe best way to approach a mili­tary object But she simply had todo it With a rather vague littlesmile she went upstairs.

There is a desperateand a bloody war in progress.” Hetook her by the shoulders anddragged her to the window. "That’sit." Away to the east searchlightsswept the sky. There was a lowcrump of a heavy body failing andthen another, great flashes of lightcoming at irregular intervals.“There you are, and I hope youare enjoying it Innocent peoplebeing murdered.”“I will tall you," said Odettesuddenly. “I will tell you, eventhough it means that Alan . . .’’ She was sobbing as he put hisarms round her.

Gum chewing has become an in­ ternational habit and although Can­ adian military authorities have not authorized giving out chewing gum as a regular ration, as have some of our Allies, the demands for chewing gum from Canadian boys and girls in the armed forces have presented a production and distribution prob­ lem. On May 1st, 1914, the American Wrigley Company gave their entire output to the U.S Army and Navy, and now the Canadian Company has devised a new Wrigley Overseas Gum Plan so that a maximum allot­ ment of its product will reach the fighting forces overseas. The Canadian Wrigley Company has provided retailers throughout Canada with order forms so that mothers, fathers, wives, sisters, brothers, sweethearts, and friends can now send a full 20-package box of Wrigley’s Spearmint, Doublemint, or “Juicy Fruit” chewing gum to members of the armed forces over- With every box of Wrigley’s chewing gum shipped overseas, there are enclosed 2 postcards so that the recipient can acknowledge receipt of the package to both the sender of the gum and the Canadian Wrigley Company.

STM LONDON. ONTARIOALSO SARNIA. WINDSOR. STRATFORD **4 CHATHAM. G onnwat Appointed Optieiaa. Ta Opr Armed Service. Hello Homemakers! We are really doing a thorough inspection job dur­ ing canning operations. Safeguard­ ing the food that is being stored in jars means rigid inspection of each step in home preserving. Vegetables require special attention. If you did not can any of the vege­ tables at the beginning of the season you may want to store some of the second crop in sealers. Although acid vegetables sueh as, pickled beets, red peppers and tomatoes are readily processed in boiling-water bath, the non-acid vegetables should be done in a pressure boiler However, if you have small jars with a perfect seal, success may be assured by the water bath method if every precau­ tion is used. Important canning rules for the safety of vegetables are: 1. To permit a perfect seal the jar rim and top must be smooth, even, no nicks, no imperfections. 2. Equipment—jars, measuring cup, knife, spoons, funnell, two large bowls, saucepan, processor or deep kettle, tea towels, brush and box of salt—should be assembled before the “canning bee”. 3. Wash jars in rich suds and get them clean using a good brush. Rinse the jars thoroughly. 4. Sterilize by placing a clean towel in the bottom of a pan and put­ ting the jars on their sides with matched glass tops beside each one, cover with hot water and boil 15 minutes. Leave in hot water until needed. 5. Thorough inspection of vege­ tables is necessary. Discard any old, blighted, bruised or ones with decay. 6. Washed vegetables get a three minutes precooking. This shrinks them and seta colour. Have the water boiling. Time the ‘boil’. 7. Nour hot vegetables go into hot jars. Allow one inch at the top' of each jar when* you can peas and corn. Use the cooking water to fill the jars. Add one teaspoon salt to each pint jar. Wipe off the top of jar—one first Mortgage loans If additional money needed Po.iibly we c.through our lol meat. Attracts >. Allitially. H u ro n & MORTGAGE CORPORATION WindtorChatham t o pesky bit will keep the jar from sealing. 8. Dip the rubber ring into hot water (having soaked them in a cup of warm water with a tea­ spoon of baking soda in it for five minutes or so) and place on jar. On with the lid. Screw band down tightly; then loosen (turn back one quarter inch). 9. Carefully lower jars into hot water bath in a kettle with a wire rack in the bottom; add more hot water to cover two inches over the jars. Jan should be one inch apart. Cover the processor. 10. Count cooking time when the water actually begins to boiL Process corn three hours in water bath. Process sweet peppers 45 minutes. Process tomatoes 20 minutes. 11. When time is up lift rack with jars from water. If no rack, dip some water and use a thick cloth to lift them out. Screw band tight. Cool jars away from draft, then turn upside down to test for leakage. SALTING METHOD FOR GREEN BEANS. PEPPERS AND CAULIFLOWER Vegetables such as green beans, peppers, and cauliflower that do not contain enough juice to form their own brine can be preserved by being covered with brine. Wash, dry, and ‘weight the vege­ tables. Cut green beans into inch lengths; separate cauliflower into flowerets: leave cucumbers and pep­ pers whole. Pack the prepared vege­ tables loosely into stone jar, leaving space for brine to cover them. Esti­ mate the amount of brine you’ll need to fill. To make brine, use 3U cups of salt to 6 quarts of water (“common” or “coarse” salt or dairy salt is better here than, fine table salt), Pour brine over vegetables, and cover jar with plate or pie plate right side up. Weight down as you do for kraut. Next day add one pound of salt for every 10 pounds of vegetables used. (This is to bring the brine up to its original strength.) At the-end of the week, add 14 pound salt, and repeat the process every week until five weeks have been marked off on the calendar. Now your vegetables should be cured. One thing to remember when add­ ing salt is to place it on top of the plate so that it will dissolve slowly without sinking to the bottom. Salt should not touch the vegetables. Skim off the scum as it forms. To freshen vegetables cured in brine, place them in a big kettle, cover with cold water, and heat slowly to lukewarm, stirring fre­ quently. Pour off water, and repeat process several times until vege­ tables are only slightly salty. Or, soak several hours in several waters, until they taste just right; then cook. The beans and cauliflower are sea­ soned and served as usual; green peppers are often stuffed and baked. V.

He was born in England and was in his 70th year. He had resided in Ingersoll for several years and had been ^employed at the North Amer­ ican Cyanamid, Limited. His wife predeceased him by three and a half years. Left to mourn the passing of a beloved brother are seyen brothers, John. Samuel and William, of Inger­ soll; Royal, Harrietsville; Herbert, Ijimbeth; Frank, Woodstock, and Fred, of Dereham Township; also three sisters, Mrs. L. Hyden, Mount Elgin; Mrs. James Coombs and Mrs. H. MacKay, of Ingersoll, to all of whom the sympathy of their scores of friends is extended in their sad bereavement The funeral was held from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home on Saturday afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock, where an impressive service was con­ ducted by Rev. Sidney Semple of Thamesford, in the absence of Rev. H. E. Merifield, rector of St. James’ Anglican Church. There was h very large attendance of relatives and, friends, and the profusion of lovely floral tokens, bore silent testimony to the high esteem in which deceased was held and sympathy for the sor­ rowing family. Interment was made in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery, th* pall bearers being six brothers, Fred, William, Samuel, John, Frank and Royal Crane. The invited guest was being shown to his bed in the haunted room by his host’s faithful but rather sinister- looking retainer. At the door of th* room they paused. “B-b-by the way,” said the guest, “has anything-er-unusual ever hap­ pened in connection with this room?” “Not for over 50 years, sir,” said the servant hollowly. “And what happened then?” asked the guest with a sigh of relief. “A gentleman who spent the night here appeared at breakfast the next morning,” came the reply. /«B D O M IN IO N BrunswiLc Sardines 2 tins 1 5 * Clark’. ’ 20 ox.

The bands are an their second Can­ adian tour. The girls are naturally getting a “big kick” out of playing to their friends and relatives. They include: Nadene Crouch of Ridgetown; Jane Hughes, Tillsonburg; Alice Day, Guelph; Eleanor Hogan, Gait; Dor­ othy Holloway, London; and Peggy Hain, Windsor. Jane Hughes plays the cornet and enlisted in London in April, 1943. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hughes, Tillsonburg, she has a brohter in the Air Force. She is a for- Because of the existence of an adequate pool of trained pilots, sus­ pension of recruiting for Canada’s air force until October 1, was an­ nounced recently by Air Minister Power. It was pointed out that this will not effect the output of aircrew for approximately a year. Because of this reserve, pilot training courses at service flying training schools will be lengthened by eight weeks, and only those best qualified will be al­ lowed to continue training as pilots.

On Friday, the 18th, they visit Ingersoll and put on a concert at 4 p.m., and then proceed to Woodstock for a concert at 8 p.m. Saturday they go to Port Stanley and then to London on Sunday for a church parade at 10 a.m. and a concert at Victoria Park at 8.30 p.m. "Brethren,” exclaimed the preach­ er, “don*, you all know it’s wrong o All categories of aircrew will now have the same opportunity to earn commissions. It is likely that these regulations will result in the schools turning out the best trained pilots in history.. To build or not to build, that is the question—which was discussed re­ cently in the House of Commons by the parliamentary assistant to the minister of munitions and supply. He gave several reasons for deferring construction of homes except where it is essential in order to meet hous­ ing requirements. One advantage is that postponement of building will supply a backlog of construction ac­ tivity for employment purposes after the war. Another is that materials available at present are in many cases substitutes or alternative materials. The demand for lumber for war pur­ poses does not slacken; Canada's in­ creased shell program calls for more steel, while production of brick, tile and concrete blocks is well below normal and supply of hot-air furn­ aces will not begin to meet the de­ mand. In most areas, too, plumb­ ing supplies are in short supply. There seems to be much confusion in the minds of many consumers re­ garding rationing of evaporated milk. The policy adopted by the Prices Board, it is explained, is to ration it in "restricted areas” where there are adequate supplies of fresh milk. You do not require coupons to buy evaporated milk if you live in the Maritime Provinces,' Gaspe Peninsula, Northern Quebec, any area of Ontario north of Muskoka, or in the rural areas of Manitoba, Sas­ katchewan, Alberta or B.C. The larger western cities are “restricted” areas and persona living within a ra­ dius of 15 miles of these cities come under the ration regulations. In the case of (Winnipeg the “restricted” area takes in all territory within 25 miles. Ration coupons in the re­ stricted areas are issued only to chil­ dren under two years of age, to per­ sons having a doctor’s certificate saying it is necessary for their diet, and to a few others to whom this commodity is absolutely essential. Fifty-three million pounds of the 100,000,060 pounds of beef Canada has agreed to ship to the United Kingdom in 1944-45 has already gone there, even though the contract has just been signed. But the British are going to take all that wc can make available, so, when the contract is over it may be three or four times the minimum figure stated. This rep­ resents the equivalent of 250,000 cattle valued up to 30 million dollars. One of the factors in the con­ tract is reported to be that freqh Ca­ nadian beef can be landed in the Old Country in 10 days, while that shipped from the Argentine takes three times as long. In the past the Argentine has shipped 1,250,000 head of cattle to the U.K. in a year. This, contract, according to Agricultural Minister Gardiner assures floor prices for beef on a revised scale, and fur­ ther will not disrupt domestic sup­ lies to a point where meat rationing will be necessary again. Dominion. They elect their own councillors—Members of Parliament —from the 18 wings or "constitu­ encies” in the barracks once a month, carrying out a full program of self- adminstration, which includes what they will have for Sunday dinner, how many, dances they will have each month, etcc. The voters have definite ideas about what they want in privileges. Where a councillor fails to represent her constituents adequately, she is accorded a want of confidence vote, and must "go to the country” and seek re-election. The Bureau of Statistics reports that Canada’s population last year, including members of the armed forces, was 11,812,000 or an in­ crease of 158,000 over the previous year. The estimate is based on a count of the births and deaths re­ corded and on counts of the first three ration books issued. The in­ crease since 1941, the census date, was 305,000. There are both increases and de­ creases estimated in fruit production for 1944. and a brief summary should be interesting. An apple crop of 15,580,000 bushels is expected, up 21 per cent over the 1943 crop. A 19 per cent reduction is probably for pears with an estimated 517.900 bushels. First estimates on the plum and prune crop is slightly below the 363,000 'bushel crop of 1943, but 12 per cent larger than the 10-year average. Peaches with 1,138,400 bushels will likely show 80 per cent up on last year’s poor crop, and cherries only three per cent down with 210,000 bushels. Apricots with with 116,500 bushels 80 per cent greater than the 10-year average. For strawberries, 9,653,300 quarts estimated 40 per cent below last year’s, while raspberries with 8,432,- 100 quarts below by eight per cent. Grapes will probably produce 57,085,- 500 pounds, up six per cent over last year. An overall substantial increase is looked for on the major canning crops of vegetables.• • • Just recently, three Flying For­ tresses landed at Rockcliffe Airport, Ottawa, carrying eight tons of mail, about 150,000 letters for the folks back home from our Canadian men and women overseas. The big load was the result of a hold-up by British censors who were waiting while D-Day operations in France were completed, and the reason is, of course, obvious.

Date of Shower Draw Postponed The draw for 40 prizes offered in the recent Linen Shower for war- torn Russia will be held sometime in September. The date has been postponed from August 15, as it was at first an­ nounced by the Linen Shower com­ mittee of the Canadian Aid to Russia Fund."We have been requested to ad­ vance the date of the draw,” ex­ plained Mr. J. Creed, provincial chair­ man, "because so many more groups than we expected have taken part in this campaign, and we cannot complete the clerical and other work that is involved for the draw to be held on the announced date.” “Our linen shower has been a mar­ vellous success,” Mr. Creed announ­ ced. ’’Almost every type of citizens' organization is represented in it The people in Ontario have been, most generous in their donations of good bedclothes and we shall be able to ship close to two carloads to the suffering people in the liberated areas on the great Russian front." “We are now baling these gifts for shipping,” he stated, “and we are assured they will be distributed to the needy people in the Soviet Nature Study A fisherman near the mouth of the Blanche River, P. Q„ was surprised last month to see a large bullfrog snap up and swallow two duckling*. He killed the frog and found that it was almost a foot long. Later it was rought to the Wildlife Division of the National Parks Bureau in Ottawa, where the contents of its stomach were examined, revealing not only the two ducklings, each of which was five inches long, but also a full- grown meadow mouse. Various naturalists have observed that when meadow mice become very common they occasionally form part of the diet of large bullfrogs. Young ducklings, too, apparently are re­ garded as tasty morsels by these carnivorous amphibians, but it is doubtful that many are destroyed in this way. Ducklings grow rapidly and at five days of age would be too large for the biggest bullfrog to swallow. Another fisherman, a member of the crew of the schooner “Alcala”, recently caught a “sea-gull" on his trawl line, and when he hauled it into his boat, discovered that it was wearing an .aluminum leg-band. It was found that the bird was an At­ lantic Kittiwake which was banded in Iceland on May 27, 1938. Kittiwakes nest in Canada’s Arc­ tic, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and on the eoast of Newfoundland. They are also found along the coasts of the Maritime Provinces in fall and winter, often keeping well off shore. This banding record has thrown ad­ ditional needed light on the migra-1 tory habits of Kittiwakes. I A Nova Scotia farmer recentlymissed one of his hens. Whether she' had been killed or carried off by some predator he did not know. After an , absence of three weeks or so the hen returned to the kitchen door followed by a flock of nine sturdy young wild ducks. What actually happened no one knows, but several possibilities pre­ sent themselves, the most likely one being that the hen appropriated the nest of a wild duck and, being in the mood for hatching, retained it by forceful means or otherwise. Per­ haps the mother duck had met her death just after having finished lay­ ing, the hen stumbled upon the nest at the psychological moment and, being in a “broody" state, decided to carry on. Perhaps some reader has a better theory to explain this unusual occurrence. Many more such stories could be told of the strange doings in the animal and bird kingdom. There was the deer in Prince Albert National Park who acquired the habit of chew­ ing tobacco and would follow team­ sters for miles in the hope of getting a hand-out; the mother bear in Jasper National Park who regularly paraded her four cubs down the main street in Jasper town to the railway station to the delight of residents and tourists alike. These are but few of the interesting nature stories that are received from time to time in the Wildlife Division of the Na- tiohal Parks Bureau at Ottawa. There is always plenty of interest in nature, especially for those who seek it and understand ita wonders. Nowhere can one better study the wild creatures in their native habitat, •nd observe their strange ways, than in Canada’s National Parks. Notice To Creditors JEANETTA M.
