Mr. Rennie was nominated without opposition — no other nominations were made and the chairman, Har­ vey Longworth, declared him the nominee of the convention. The chief speaker of the evening was Col. the Hon. Colin Gibson, Min­ ister of National Revenue. The convention got under way a few minutes before 9 p.m., and ad­ journed with the singing of “God Save the King”, at 10.30. Owing to lack of opposition to Mr. Rennie, the business of the convention was ex­ peditiously proceeded with. In view of the unanimity of the delegates, the large attendance was considered surprising, taking into account the counter attractions. Leaders of the convention and Col. Gibson were piped to the plat­ form. They marched into the audit­ orium behind Piper W. L. Pearson of Embro and four Scottish dancers. Helen Campbell, Joyce Campbell, Anna McPherson and Mary Muir of Embro. In the van of the marching men were Mr. Longworth, president of the Oxford Liberal Association and Mayor E. G. McKenzie, presi­ dent of the Woodstock Liberal Asso­ ciation. The mayor and Miss Flor­ ence Bain, secretary of the Oxford Association, had given a great deal of time to the arrangements for the gathering. Miss Bain’s work was particularly, complimented by Mr. Rennie in a brief speech from the platform. On the platform which was flanked by Union Jacks, with a life size photograph of Prime Minister King at the side of the stage, were Mr. Longworth, the Hon. Mr. Gibson, Mr. Rennie, Mayor McKenzie, P. M. Dewan, former Minister of Agricul­ ture, Warden J. C. Eichenberg and Russell Farrow of Windsor, president of the Western Ontario Liberal Association.The nomination for Mr. Rennie^ was proposed by Wilfred Cockburn of Blenheim Township, who lauded the service of Mr. Rennie during his tenure of office. The motion was seconded by Miss Annie Seldon of Ingersoll.Short addresses were given during the evening by Mr. Chas. Turner, Warden Eichenberg of Tillsonburg and Russell Farrow of Windsor. Col. Gibson gave a very comprehen­ sive and enlightening address espec­ ially as to matters concerning his de­ partment. He spoke with an ease and tone of optimism as to the out­ come of the forthcoming election. xAt the close of the convention Col. Gibson was handed a telegram which told of the wounding of his son, LL-Col. Gibson Jr., of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. Col.

Lsskisg Bxk 11 Yem — From the — Files of The Ingersoll Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, August 24th, 1344 THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1944 Must Win Battle Against Inflation to Aid Employment To win the battle against unem­ ployment after the war, the battle against inflation must first be won, states a recently issued Dominion Government Handbook. Most farmers know what happened after the last war—the drastic decline in land values, the overwhelming burden of debt, the reduction in income, and the lowering- of the standard of liv­ ing. All were caused by inflation. In every previous war m modern history, the strains and pressures on economic systems have led to a steadily rising cost of living, result­ ing in inflation. This cycle used to be accepted as inevitable even though it meant hardship for the great major­ ity. With Canada equipping her own fighting forces and helping feed and equip the fighting forces of the Unit­ ed Nations, the danger of inflation was there and still remains. In the present war, if the cost of living had been allowed to rise un­ checked, living standards would have been progressively reduced. Under a certain condition of inflation, some wages and salaries might rise but wages and salaries could not keep pace with the increase in the cost of living. For people living on pen­ sions. annuities and other forms of small savings bringing in a fixed in­ come, inflation would mean poverty and hardship. On the other hand, inflation would fall less heavily on people who were able to use a rise in prices as an excuse to demand or take higher incomes. Thus by keep­ ing prices stable, an enormous amount of hardship and injustice has been so far averted. To fight inflation in Canada, price control which protects the people by putting a ceiling on the prices of goods, rents and services, has been adopted. However, price control is only one of the measures which con­ stitute Canada’s economic strategy in war. There are other controls— wage and salary and distribution controls, together with wartime tax­ ation and Government loans. Com­ bined they are known as Canada's Stabilization Controls, and are so in­ terlocked that a defect in the work­ ing. of any one of them directly weakens the whole system. The relationship between Stabiliza­ tion Controls and the greatest poss­ ible war effort is not even yet fully understood. To some people the stabilization of prices may mean to be no more than a plan to protect the purchasing power of every dollar earned. It is that and more. The im­ portant thing is that it is possible to plan and organize Canada’s ec­ onomic resources for the greatest possible war production and to safe­ guard the essentia] of the standard of living, only if there is economic stability on the home front That is the real significance of Canada's war effort Therefore, the whole hearted sup­ port of the Stabilization Controls on the part of dvery Canadian is nec­ essary to prevent the chaos and hardship of inflation, to continue the greatest possible^ war effort on all fronts, to- build sound foundations for the post-war period, and in short to win the war. The farmers are doing their share. V — French Cure in Normandy Expresses Deep Feelings War correspondent L. S. B.

Dqrchester—About 60 friends and neighbours gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Robbins, to spend a social evening with their son, John Robbins, before he leaves happy family life. Already some Canadian clergy, realizing the nec­ essity of presenting these physiolog­ ical facts within the moral and spir­ itual atmosphere, have taken steps to establish such facilities in their churches. Several Protestant communions and the Roman Cathholic authorities of Quebec are counselling premari­ tal health examinations. These are practical means of con­ tributing towards the eradication of venereal disease. The churches have, of course, other opportunities: For example, they can take a much more realistic attitude toward the improve­ ment of community conditions than they have in the past. Churches dis­ interested or complacent regarding social conditions which are condu­ cive to low cultural and moral stand­ ards cannot expect to wield a large are not likely to rise above nationalstandards of morality generally.In provision of community re­sources against VD, there must bea practical reeoflgtition of the needs of youth for recreation and activi­ ties to sublimate youth’s energies. Youth must have opportunities for service—-particularly the much-neg­ lected teen-aged girl. It must be appreciated that the unsavory attrac­ tions of a community are in competi­ tion with the wholesome attractions. If a “teen club” or “hangout” in a church hall or basement will give young people an opportunity to meet and enjoy wholesome recreative exer­ cises in good environment, and thus restrain them from going to less de­ sirable places, then a “teen club” in the church is a practical necessity. If the Canadian churches are to make a concrete contribution to the solution of the VD problem, their leaders must be better informed and in closer fellowship with young people and the apparently mad ways of youth in a topsy-turvy world. For that reason The Junior Chamber of Cpmmerce of Canada is urging courses in sex and family life for theological colleges. It should be borne in mind that many young people have no part in church life. For them a course in sex and family life education, integ­ rated in existing school and uni­ versity studies, is proposed by The Junior Chamber of Commerce. So far as possible this should be but- tressted by spiritual truth, even in the groups at present isolated from the churches. In this field the American educational institutions ttoas. Courses in marriage relationsand family life are now offered byover 4M American colleges. If edu­cation is intended to equip men andwomen for social living, then themost fundamental relationships ofsociety should not be ignored.The Canadian people, alarmed bythe rapid spread of venereal diseaseanl the growth of child delinquency,both symptomatic of neglect, areeager—nay, hungry—for informa­tion. This was indicated by success­ ive Gallup Polls, the most recent of which showed that 93% of persons questioned flavored imparting infor­mation on venereal disease to higj»-aehoel students.The movement for seculir educa­tion on these subjects is on ita way;and if the churches regard the spiri­tual interpretation of marriage andfamily life as important, they havealready lost too much time. Forthem “it is later than you think."The habit of hanging or swingingby the tail is said to be confined al­ most exclusively to animals of the American hemisphere. ■ t f /M l PAYMCHT , °F f 1943 INCOME W DUE 31st AUGUST, 1944 Inasmuch as the Income Tjhx pay­ments that fell due on 30^ April Knt were postponed to 31st August, Wiis wiJj remind you that any balance due must be&emitted to your District Inspector of In co m l Tax on or before 31st August, 1944 I $ avoid? penalty.To be sure that the paymem s arcicorrectly credited to your account, y<Air remittance should be accompanied by a showing clearly your full name and addmgwand stat­ ing that the payment is to be applied to your 1943 income tax.

Edmonds, Ernie Smith, Thelma Handley k Clark Pellow, Fred Blackmore, and Stuart Armstrong. Bert JJole presided over the’pro­ gram. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Coon and son of Galt, were visitors with Mrs. Coon’s mother, Mrs. Laura Jackson, King street west, last week. * A more realistic attack on a ser­ ious national problem than has hitherto been seen, seems in pros­ pect according to the announcement of four major Protestant commun­ ions (United Church, Church of Eng­ land, Baptist, and Presbyterian), that they have allied themselves with public and voluntary agencies in the nationwide campaign against venereal disease. There are a number of avenues by which the churches can make sub­ stantial contributions to the cam­ paign. There is a growing recogni­ tion that, especially insofar as young persons are concerned, moral­ ising and fault-finding are not the most effective methods by which to achieve continence and high stand­ ards. A moral, reverent attitude to­ wards human relationships must be based upon knowledge and under­ standing. That this is so has been more widely accepted in the United States than in Canada. According to the Journal of Social Hygiene, striking pronouncements have been made by church leaders in the United States as to the need of parent education and youth coun­ selling in churches, “The First General Conference of the reunited Methodist Church made a strong statement urging that such classes be held in all churches and that ministers should prepare themselves for personal counselling in family problems,” . it is stated. "The Presbyterian General Assem­ bly mac|e a similar statement as to pastoral counselling, and j ita pro­ gram of education for family life is a vigorous one. The Disciples, the Congregational and Reformed Church, the Brethren, and many other denomination groups arc pushing education for family life in their constituencies. “The Protestant''Episcopal Church, always interested in family life, has enacted a rule that all ita clergymen shall give premarital instruction to those whom they are about to unite in marriage.

The milking machine saves houh of time and labor, making easier and quicker work of a task that hdg long been considered as ’’taking | lot of the joy out of life.” In these times of help shortage, it has beel the milking machine that* has ei> abled many a dairyman to keee the monthly cheques for milk an i cream coming in as usual and ti benefit from the great demand fof dairy products. x & ur. k.nase s .Pa r a d o L M A S SEY -HA RR IS C O M P AN Y LIM ITED BUILDERS OF G OOD FARM IMPLE M EN TS SINC E 1847 Color Scheme* For Home Decoration* Color is the magic wand of home decoration; wave it and it works mir­ acles, observes Better (Homes and Gardens in a supplement devoted to Home Furnishings and Maintenance ideas. “Color, in these days jj£ war econ­ omy, is a g.and way of ringing in cheer when you can't turn in the old models on new ones for the pre­ sent,’’ says the publication. “Just salt away War Savings Bonds for them when they’re again available after the war . Color—in paints, dyes, paper and simple cotton fab­ rics—will be your best friend in re­ decorating on a pittance, while more important dollars are being ear­ marked for Victory." Getting down to cases, the Maga­ zine gives some pretty sound advice about colors and their relationships. “Begin by forgetting all you ever heard about cold and warm, primary and complementary colors. Gather up swatches of colors you like best, have fun tossing together combin­ ations that warm the cockles of your heart, and you’re almost sure to arrive at a scheme that will be not only decoratively pleasing but a stimulating background for your own personality. “Don’t be afraid of using too much color, and don’t be timid about mix­ ing colors. Nature isn’t and she pro­ duces some pretty wonderful studies in harmony. Your guide should be your own personality and tastes, rather than fnds or fashions. If you love lusty reds and greens, rich blues and warm-toned yellows, you're going to be mighty misplaced in a roomful of pastels." # Many tricks can be turned with color. For instance, a small living room can be made to look larger by using the light blue of spacious skies on walls and ceilings and with the woodwork in the same* clear tone. If it is an extra small living room, even draperies and picture frames can be light blue, with relieving colors in upholstery fabrics and lac­ quered wood furniture pieces. Light green or a soft almost- white, beige can create much the same effect. “To make your whole tiny house seem larger,” adds the article, “carry out this same idea in all the rooms. Use two or three colors only and introduce varying degrees of these shades throughout You’ll be deli-Kted with the pleasant views through open doorways without color breaks. “There’s another color trick you can call on—just the ^opposite ef this use of light color to create ’space*. It’s tho trick on working out flamboyant color schemes for tiny rooms that otherwise would be completely without interest You wouldn’t want to decorate your small living-room in vivid tones; but many a boxy little dining-room, bed­ room, or spare room has been res­ cued from oblivion by a daring color scheme." Naturalists report that wild ani­ mals, such as seals, which survive around a .thickly populated country are much harder to tame than simi­ lar species' from remote regions where they have had little exper­ ience with men. “I’m going to stay single until I find a girl like grandpa married.” “You’ll have a long search. There aren’t any like that nowadays." “Oh, yes there are. He married her only yesterday."

She also drew attention to the fact that Ingersoll was the first ; place where “Peter”, a new addition to the brass band had been on par­ ade. The new leopard skin worn by ] the bass drummer and presented to the band at London on Thursday evening, had been given the name ! of “Peter”, honouring the town of Peterborough citizens who had made , the gift.

I ran across some ref­ erence papers compiled by the War­ time Information Board at Ottawa which intrigued me, because like others we generally think of this in­ dustry in terms of wheat, cows and chickens, barns, chores, etc. Pos­ sibly few people in the ■ rural and semi-rural areas ever think of agri­ culture except that it’s here, but as a matter of fact there’s romance attached to it, the romance of achievement. So here’s something about it. That brings ua across to the prov­ince which touche* the Facile ocean,British Columbia. Agriculture was started in the Fraser Lake district about 1810. Cultivated areas were of necessity small, and expansion was blocked by the rugged nature of the wooded country. The Hudson’s Bay Company maintained a number of farms in arid around Fort Vancou­ ver and oAVancouver Island in the early daysTThen agriculture got a fillip, indirectly of course, from the Cariboo gold rush in the 1830’s be­ cause produce had to be supplied to the camps. It was not until the 80's however, that commercial planting really started properly. Since then British Columbia has built up an enviable reputation for the product­ ion of apples and other fruits. Its scope can be gauged by the fact that when contracts were made up for 1943-44 to supply fresh apples to the United Kingdom, this province or the growers were able to supply 200,000 bushels. / Now for a little recapitulation of the achievement of agriculture fromLook at it this way. At the last the humble beginning of the intrepidcensus in Canada the number of j Acadiang of 1671 w ith their 400 odd farms totalled 732,715, with a com-i eg under cultiVBtion.

Settlement became brisker in the next hundred years in Upper and ' Lower Canada and agriculture kept pace. Then came Confederation in 1867. Completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1886 opened up Western Canada and development of agriculture moved swiftly, while that of eastern Canada went through a period of adjustment. Now we jump backward again from our 732,715 farms of 1941 to the early Acadian era of 1671.

The mighty develop­ ment that has taken place in the . three hundred years since that time; is emphasized by figures which show us that there were 8,833,700 head of cattle on Canadian farms on Decem­ ber 1. 1942 and sheep numbered! 2,482.700. In the lower St. Lawrence valley ' some attempts at agriculture appear to have begun as early as 1608 when Champlain, the founder of Quebec, came to the country. The first real fanner is said to have been Louis Hebert who started farming in 1617 on the site of what is now Quebec City. It was some time before the people of that day were able to be­ come self-sufficient in foodstuffs. It was the French who introduced agriculture in Upper Canada (On­ tario), with the first settlement started by Frontenac at Kingston in 1671. Here again transportation and communication hindered development ’and it moved along slowly^ but it is interesting to know that by 1852 there were close to 100,006 farms in Ontario. Left to mourn her passing are her I mother, two sisters, Mrs. George Clark, London, and Mrs. C. Gourlay, ; Thamesford, and one brother, Charles 'Weston, of West Nissouri. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from the residence of her : mother, Thamesford, where an im- : pressive service was conducted at I 2.30 p.m. to the Seventh Line Ceme­ tery. There was a large attendance at the service and the beautiful floral tokens testified to the high esteem in which deceased was held. Rev. E.

It was in the year 1812, not so long ago, that western Canada’s agri­ cultural history starts, with the Sel­ kirk Red River Settlement in Mani­ toba. A little over a hundred years later western Canada produced in the 1942-43 crop years 9,400.000 bushels of flaxseed which is only one of the smaller producing of its grain crops. The Selkirk settlers had a hard time, not only with the In­ dians, but also because of the rivalry between the Northwest Company and the Hudson's Bay Company. The population didn’t increase fast and agricultural development was equally slow. However this' changed —and quickly—dnee the Canadian Pacific'Railway reached St. Boniface, opposite Winnipeg in 1878. , Settlers from eastern Canada and the United States flocked to the west, many of them bringing their stock and equipment, but to meet new soil and climatic conditions It was neces­ sary to change many farming prac- At the home of the bride’s par­ ents, Catharine street, on Saturday, August 12th, a pretty wedding cere­ mony was solemnized when Greta Mary, daughter on Mr. and Mrs. John Steeper, became the bride of Harold George, youngest^ son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Riddle of Cen­ treville.

Dip Sheep Flock Again in Fall Fall dipping of sheep is just as important as dipping in the Spring, but it is often neglected because, on account of the .growing wool, the ticks are not easily seen and farmers are led to believe that their flocks j are piacticAHy free from pests. However, the argument for fall'dip­ ping is that a few ticks on a sheep at the end of the year will multiply i many times before Spring, and it is •atimated that in tick-fre* flock*thr saving in f**d and tb* increasedwaight of lambs and wool, aa a re­sult of claanlinaaa, ma) aaailyamount to from 50 eanta to |1.50per head On th* other hand, thecost of dipping will not exceed 3 to5 cents per head.Thar* ia also the consideration forthe comfort of the flock. Parasite*are a source of discomfort to theanimals and a drawback to their fulldevelopment, a* shown by the flocksfree from tick* and lice growing bet­ter wool and requiring leas feed. Atthe same time, the number of lamb*is larger; the ewe* give more milk,and the lamb* grow more rapidly.In view of the continued wardemand for wool, fall dipping helpsin the war effort. September andOctober are the tWo beat months forfall dipping. If the weather become*cold* the flock should be housed fora night or two dntil the fleece dries.Dips are classified according tothe nature of the poison they con­ tain, a* carbolic, arsenic and tobacco. Most standard dips will prove Effect­ ive, provided the direction* are care­ fully followed. Dips are sold in two forms—powder and liquid. The powder form requires a little longer to prepare and slightly more caution and exactitude in the preparation of the bath, but it has the advantage claimed by the manufacturers that the sediment remains in the fleece long enough to kill eggs when they hatch. The liquid form has the ad­ vantage of being easier to prepare and is effective, but to insure com­ plete eradication of the pests, a sec­ ond dipping in two or three weeks is recommended. All dips are poisonous and should be kept away from live stock when tjiey are being prepared. Further in­ formation will be found in Bulletin No. 614 "Sheep Dipping”, a copy of which may be obtained from the Dominion Department of Agricul­ ture, Ottawa.

"Forgiven him, TanteMimi?"“None of your business.” Shegave him her cheek to kiss. "Andwhy are you sneaking up the backstain?”"You told me to. over the phone—don’t you remember? I'm the housekeeper’s nephew now. What is all this anyway?” "It’s Rudolph. He’s the Baron Rudi de Morpin. The princess is hisniece.

Had you seen them whenthey first walked into Philibert thisevening—”“I can imagine,” said Rogerslowly. He sprawled out in an easychair, a tall, elegant figure in theuniform of a flight lieutenant. Hehad been over and back twice. "I'm glad you did it, Tante Mimi. It was like you. Fd never think ofsuch a thing. I'd have made a mess of the situation.

"It is thebest play I was ever in.” said old Mimi Fabre, "and tbe loveliest roleI ever enacted.”“And I. madame." said Rudolphwith a deep and humble bow, “havenever before witnessed such su­perb acting.”Madame had moved her intimatepossessions, her clothes, her count­less knickknacks and photos to thehousekeeper’s apartment in thenorth wing. Now she made a swiftdescent on the kitchen and rigidlyinspected tbe dinner preparation*.No nonsense for these hungryyoung ones—plenty of good habi­tant pea soup, of roast chicken, ofrich pudding and strong coffee.Those little bones needed a greatdeal more firm padding beforemeeting the Quebec Winter. "Ah,good,” she told the new cook."Give everyone a double helping.They win think it's the custom ofthe country. Sometimes, when I goto a restaurant, I too think it shouldbe."She went to her new quarterswhere already she had begun to ar­range her things. There had been a sad moment when going through them she bad come upon Michel's photograph—Michel as he had beenthree yean before, a few days pre­ ceding tbe time he had said, "Darnit, Tante Mimi, I shall go to France it I want to, I shall lead the lifeI choose, I shall be a painter, apoet, a tramp—anything I like; andI don't care if I never earn an hon­est penny. I'm tired of your dic­tator ways. I won't be regimentedany longer.

Hashould never have a cent of hermoney—be didn’t want it Hisbrother Roger should have it an, howas welcome to it He was toomost ungrateful of nephews—hewasn't, but she was the most arro­gant and overbearing at aunts.Madame had flung Michel’s pic­ture in a trunk that night and triedto put him forever out of her heart.She had heard no word of him inthe years between, nor had hl*brother Roger, who was now withthe air force; nor had anyone else.If,he had gone to France as he’dplanned, perhaps they would neverI know what had become of him.i Wild young devil anyway; volatile.' hot-tempered, reckless and devoidi of any fear of self-consciousness.The old lady had set hi* picture inI its chrome frame in her dresserand bad taken It up to look at It, 1 the fitting thing to do.

But un-> demeath it all, Madame Fabre-> Luslgnan, Mike was the apple of- your eye and you know it Theharder you yelled at him, the loud-i er you swore at him, the more you- loved him."The old lady scowled fiercely,s then blew her nose and grabbedt hastily for a cigarette. "You're toor smart, you, Roger—always were—too darned smart.”r Roger grinned, shook his head.- "I’ll never be able to outsmart t you. Duchess. Now what aboutthe royal guests? Is the housekeep- t er’s nephew permitted to have ai peep at them?" "They are at dinner now. I takeit you dined before you camehere?" r “Indeed, yes.

He's on bls way to Quebec.J'li go down on the bus tomorrow,i Curiosity brought me here and I• won't go away until it’s satisfied.”i “The princess is not a poppyi show," muttered madame. ‘Til goi down now and see that those chil-i dren are having sufficient to eat■ and to watch that Rudolph doesn’ti start to walk around the table and.i watt on them. You stay here untili I come back, my man."Roger stayed there, smokingquietly in tbe slow summer dusk,. watching the purple vista of tbe■ hills above the chateau, loving the1 deep mellow green of trees and lawn.

These great hi Ilf. this vast1 green land, this blue sky--"Where is heaven half so vast?Where blows a lovelier air?What are thy sons doing hereo'er tbe sea?”It was an old verse he had comeupon in Michel's scrapbook.

Bacterial Ring Rot ofPotatoes in OntarioThough ..arterial ring rot a com­paratively new disease in Ontario, Itis of a »eriou* type and one thatpots'o growers should regard withf >ncem, say* J. K. Richardson, Do­minion laboratory of Plant Path­ology, St. Catharines, Ont. Now is the time to inspect carefully pota­ toes in the field and to report sus­ pected case* to the district potato inspector or to the Dominion Labor­ atory of Plant Pathology, St. Cath­ arines, or to the Dominion Botanist, Ottawa. Every potato grower should be­ come familiar with the symptoms of this disease, the measures recom­ mended for its control and should then act accordingly so as to prevent it spreadings To control ring rot require* district-wide attention, not only on the part of growers, but of dealers and shippers as well. The first signs of bacterial ring rot, which appears early in August, consist of a wilting of one or more leaves on a plant This wilting in­ creases, the affected leaves turn pale then yellow and the edges roll in­ wards. Other leaves on the plant soon become affected and finally turn brown and die. One or more stalks of a plant may show the wilting but all do not necessarily become affected. Do not confuse this with tarnished plant bug injury which shows small swellings and discolor­ ation of the leaf stalks or ribs where the insects have been feeding. Look for the leaf symptoms before late blight appears, for the presence of blight increases the difficulty in spotting early ring rot symptoms. By the time an infected plant dies, many of the tubers will be infected with the disease, though some may be healthy. Slightly infected tubers show no external symptoms, but, upon cutting, the vascular ring will be pale yellow and crumbly in appearance. Other tubers will show discoloured sunken areas on the sur­ face, usually close to the stolon end, or in the vicinity of an eye. As these brown areas enlarge the skin cracks and allows roil organisms to enter and complete the destruction of the tuber. In Ontario, tubers suspected of being diseasesd should be sent to Do­ minion Laboratory of Plant Pathol­ ogy! St Catharines, or to the Domin­ ion Botanist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, for verification. Glass Snake is not a real snake at all, but just a legless species of lizard.

Yet this happens continually in war. Men. strangers to one another, strangers even to their own nationality, go out under fire to rescue a fallen man, al­ together unmindful of the fact that they too may succumb. Heroic res­ cue, heroic endeavour, are the usual in war scenes. It may be, of course, that men dealing death and with death every hour of the day and night, become careless of life itself and risk what at other times is rightly precious. Perhaps too the fatalistic idea predominates then and men come to feel that their lives are forfeit or safe as the fates de­ cree; it therefore matters little what extra risks they take. We all know the saying about a bullet or shell bearing one’s name, and it js perhaps as well that men go into battle with that idea, for, as a rule, they feel that no shell or bullet bears their name, much as they know it must bear someone's. The road to war is the road to vast heroics; it always has been. Men under stress of it perform as it was not known they could perform. Their deeds are legendary; our his- prosperity only to find himself dis­ illusioned, and the market for heroes nonexistent. Surely we won’t repeat that error. Men are returning now, many quite unfit for further ser­ vice and equally unfit for normal civilian life. We must make life safe for them. Surely they deserve it, even if, as many have, they have served by standing and waiting, a much more difficult kind of service for the young and vigorous than active front line servive, where excitement and enthusiasm are the impetus to the heroic in one. Let the old slogan of the last war period, “A world fit for heroes” be heard again, but let it this time be made a reality and not a mere nice sounding, vote-catching mess of words. A lifeboat approached the stern half of a torpedoed tanker, split in two in mid-Atlantic, to take off 27 survivors at night in a gale. Sudden­ ly an oarsman pointed to a weird light bobbing on the sea. It was a little white dog equipped with its own tiny lifejacket and a flashlight. His owner was rescued with the dog, “Mitzi", and both have recovered from their ordeal by water in an English hospital. /Me/mes a / f'lfar are the highways that serve Canada The roads that connect vill. home are military highway shell-pounded roads in Frit Along these hiAways pdni and tools of wastth; lanche —destine! tt the Axis.

Vines also wilt quickly if disturbedby handling.Weeding of cucumber hills, ifnecessary, should be done by handand if any rootlets become dis­turbed in the process of pullingout weeds, press the soil back overthem firmly. The soil should bekept cultivated as long as it can be done without injuring thespreading vines.An Important factor in the suc­ cessful growing of any vine crop,is to plant them far enough apartto prevent them from becoming overcrowded as they develop andspread.

The attempt to make a living out of too few hens is the most im­ practical thing in the industry. The greatest wastage of labour and the least efficient factor in the business are the result of the number of people who try to make a living from 400 to 500 hens. They could just as well look after 2,000 or more, say officials of the Poultry Services, Do­ minion Department of Agriculture.

Likewise this valuable inform­ ation has shown the tremendous peacetime possibilities of developing Canada’s northern areas or these chains of huge airports and other fac­ ilities in creating for Canada ex­ tremely important aerial stepping stones to other continents since the Northwest Staging Route was de­ signed originally to provide a route through Alaska to Russia and the Far East and the Northeast Staging Route for ferrying airplanes from this continent to Europe. These huge air bases include vast projects at The Pas. Churchill, Southampton Island in Northern Hudson Bay, Frobisher Bay on the east coast of Baffin Island, Fort Chimo on the south shore of Hudson Strait andMingan in Quebec near Anticosti Island on the famous Goose Bay air route to Europe. When the extremely important Family Allowance* Bill was passed upon in Ottawa, several hints were given to the people of Canada of what may be looked upon as possible developments in this regard. A hope was expressed that the facilities of the Post Office might be used for registration and forms distributed to letter carriers or deliverers of rural mail. Birth certificates may not be necessary at first but parents may most likely have to file them later. At this time it seemed that the perm­ anent staff to operate this scheme be about 1600 and these would be appointed by the Civil Service Com­ mission. If this scheme was to come into effect in July of 1946, as plan­ ned, it must be proceeded with with­ out further delay. It would only con­ fuse the issue to hold a plebiscite on this plan as it has been suggested in some quarters that the people should be consulted in this manner on such a matter of national importance. to $7.75 Haira igbone Fish Die in Thames Following Contamination HAY FE Allergitabs ...........A l 00-82.50 Respirin Capsules ,...............50c Raztnah Capsules*.......5Oc-1.00 Ephedrin Nose Utopi...........50cVitamin C Tab^ .82.10-83.50 Thurtell’s Drug Store • «UZ_ 1_—— u—.

Th* In gersoll Tribune Phone 13 While politicians behind the scenes along Parliament Hill have been en­ deavouring to minimize as much as possible the actual effects on the Federal front of the political devel­ opments on the various provincial fronts as preparations go forward for a nation-wide battle of ballots, yet those outward appearances of com­ parative nonchalance seem to be f more or less than mere appearances, judging from the latest deductions of stories heard in usually well-informed quarters in the capital and from the rush home of legislat­ ors, including ministers, to attend ' to political fences in their own con­ stituencies after this session, in other words, each provincial test of public opinion as revealed in the elections which have been held since the last general election in Canada in 1940 has been watched very closely for their marked meaning and possible significance in deductions on the Federal front, with this having been the case in Ottawa in the provincial elections in Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Quebec, particularly the aftermaths along Parliament Hill that have followed in the wake of the laat two mentioned elections. It is now held in some political circles that the solid front presented by the Social Credit party in Alberta in withstanding the C.C.F. attack may encourage the major political parties which have been deeply concerned about rela­ tively recent happenings in Ontario, Saskatchewan and elsewhere. Then again, there is a sharp reaction along Parliament Hill to the political de­ velopments in Quebec where “cracks’’ in the Liberal fortress have become evident more and more, with exper­ ienced observers reasoning, that the success in gaining the largest num­ ber of seats of the “Union Nation­ ale” party under Hon. Maurice Du­ plessis, who was formerly leader of the Conservative party in Quebec, emphasizes the possible potential strength of popular appeals to nationalism in that province in a future Federal election, especially since the extreme nationalism of the “BIbc Populaire” party had also re­ ceived the votes of no less than ,175,000 people. Moreover, Hop. P. J. A. Cardin, who resigned from the king Cabinet in Ottawa in opposi­ tion to certain policies of his leader, is said to have indicated that he was keeping himself “in reserve for the Dominion election.” Iparative nothing Though the Government in Ot­ tawa has recognized the possible significance of the Northeast Stag­ ing Route for post-war civil aviation, yet it has been stated by the Hon. C. D. Howe that the tour of the route by United States and Canadian officials had been planned to be of a purely military nature as well as an examination by Canadian officials of some of the new facilities recently acquired by Canada from the United States. This has been the explana­ tion given in Ottawa concerning the yquest of Manitoba officials for rep­ resentation on this tour of the route which they believed Jo be intended as an investigation of post-war pos­ sibilities. •. - = w~- Citizens from all parts of town were interested spectators at the Thames street bridge and along the river when dead fish estimated to be in thousands were seen floating down the stream. Provincial Game Over­ seer E. R. Meadows of Woodstock, was called ins to investigate and hetraced the contamination of the stream and felt assured that the occurrence would not be repeated- The officer noted in a half mile of the river that many fine speci­ mens of fish had been victims of the poison. Pike, black bass, carp and minnows were among the dead fish floating down the river. Many dead fish had become caught along the banks and these too became a men­ ace as well in the hot weather. Mr. Meadows was of the opinion that the greater pari of the dead fish had gone to the bottem of the river.-------------------------- g Choir practice will Be held onFriday evening in the church.Mrs Jas.

James Minard Passes Away In His 74th Year Behind the story of the implied criticisms which had been heard along Parliament Hill of the war service of the member of Parliament for the Bellechasse constituency in Quebec, Philippe Picard, it can be reported that this member has ans­ wered this criticism by stating that he had enlisted at the age of 18 years in World War 1 but he had been rejected as unfit for service. Consequently, he had not believed that in World War II, at the age of 40 years, his physical condition would have improved from World War I. While he might have sought administrative service in the forces, yet he had felt that he was giving war service by his work in the House of Commons in Ottawa. It must be emphasized that the Government's recent appointment of special returning officers to take the essential moves which will event­ ually enable Canadians in various theatres of war to exercise their right of franchise is not necessarily a precise, nor definite indication of an early general election in this country. This is stressed now along Parliament Hill where it is pointed out that these special returning offi­ cers had to be named as soon as possible owing to the conditions of these assignments which require It has been clear in the Nation’s capital that the Federal Govern­ ment’s efforts to stabilize prices for fish, products during the period of transition from war to peace, as re­ vealed in the Fisheries Prices Bill, was not intended to cure all the problems of all time for Canada’s fishermen but it was rather a plan to provide powers for solving prob­ lems which may not have developed as yet- though they may have to be solved later. These problems may arise from certain conditions, such as .external trade relations and food needs throughout the world as well as at home where incidentally in normal times about 70 per cent of the production of the fishing indus­ try could not be absorbed and had to be exported/ In any case, the Federal Gverament was determined to prevent prices for the primary producers from falling to the low levels of 1920, 1932 and other low years. The Federal Government’s move had followed careful consider­ ation of two methods to achieve the purpose of this legislation, though both could not be used at the same time. There was the method of prescribed prices to be fixed by a three man board and- - the other method which "would have no ‘ inter- ference with the natural fluctua­ tions of prices brought about by the laws of supply and demand.—(Re­ production Prohibited.) • A well known and esteemed resi­ dent of West Oxford passed away on Saturday morning at his residence, in the person of James Minard.

Mrs. Walter Cline Passes in Her 77th Year The death occurred on Monday of a very well known and highly re­ spected citizen of Ingersoll, in the person of Isabella Henderson, dearly beloved wife of Walter A. Cline. The late Mrs. Cline who was in her 77th year, was bom in Longside, Scotland and had resided in Inger­ soll for 60 years, where her genial and kindly manner had endeared her to a large circle of friends. She was a member of Trinity United Church and of the Women’s Association where she had taken an active and faithful interest and her passing is deeply regretted. Left to mourn her passing are her husband, one son, Harry of Detroit, one brother, R. A. Henderson, Ing­ ersoll and two sisters, Mrs. Clark Turner, Ingersoll and Mrs. Dock- stader of London. Two grandchildren also survive. The funeral was held from the Preston T. Walker Funeral Home on Wednesday afternoon, where service was conducted at two o’clock by Rev. It A. Facey.

Men will __ —T~Ar d e n -Gr a ph AUG, 24, HM4MOUNT ELGIN eon they love, but less frequently will they go out of their way to help those unknown to them. Yet this happens continually in war. Men, strangers to one another, strangers even to their own nationality, go out under fire to rescue a fallen man, al­ together unmindful of the fact that they too may succumb. Heroic res­ cue, heroic endeavour, are the usual in war scenes. It may be, of course, that men dealing death and with death every' hour of the day and night, become careless of life itself and risk what at other times is rightly precious. Perhaps too the fatalistic idea predominates then and men come to feel that their lives are forfeit or safe as the fates de­ cree. it therefore matters little what extra risks they take. We all know the saying about a bullet or shell bearing one's name, and it js perhaps as well that men go into battle with that idea, for, as a rule, they feel that no shell or bullet bears their name, much as they know it must bear someone’s. The road to war is the road to vast heroics; it always has been. Men under stress of it perform as it was not known they could perform. Their deeds are legendary; our his- peace; hoped that peace meant his prosperity, only to find himself dis­ illusioned, and the market for heroes nonexistent. Surely we won’t repeat that error. Men are returning now, many quite unfit for further ser­ vice and equally unfit for normal civilian life. We mart make life safe for them. Surely they deserve it, even if. as many have, they have served by standing and waiting, a much more difficult kind of service for the young end vigorous than active front line servive, where excitement and enthusiasm are the impetus to the heroic in one. Let the old slogan of the last war penod, “A world fit for heroes” be heard again, but let it this time be made a reality and not a mere nice sounding, vote-catching mess of words.

The attempt to make a living out of too few hens is the most im­ practical thing in the industry. The greatest wastage of labour and the least efficient factor in the business are the result of the number of people who try to make a living from 400 to 500 hens.
