The advisability of early actionbeing taken for a sewerage system ‘ in the town was advocated by Coun­ cillor W. C. Watson at a meeting of the Municipal Council Monday night. Councillor Watson referred to recent discussion in committee pertaining to a sewerage system and said that one of the first steps that should be taken was to have a plan of the pro­ posed project and an estimate of the cost. Councillor Watson said that if the matter was to be submitted to the electors at the municipal elect­ ions, immediate action should be taken. He also stated that be had been informed that a contour plan prepared in 1913 when the same project was under consideration, could be used without the necessity, of making a new survey. Councillor Riley, while recogniz­ ing the necessity system suggested that “caution be used from’the beginning”. He con­ sidered it highly important that more information be obtained before definite action was taken. Councillor Thomas J. Morrison shared the opinion that it would be advisable to wait for further infor­ mation before ' taking definite action as to the preliminary arrangements. It was stated that under any cir­ cumstances, the project would have to be approved by The Ontario De­ partment of Planning and Develop­ ment. The matter was left in abey­ ance until further information is received. i A' communication was read on behalf of the Ingersoll Junior Farm­ ers requesting a donation on behalf of a plowing match to be held in October. A communication was read on behalf of the Community "Y” Board asking remission of taxes, while the Morrow Company wrote relative to a catch-basin on Carnegie street and the Boy Scouts requested permission to hold “Apple Day” on Saturday, Sept 30th. A motion carried granting the re­ quest of the Morrow Co. Council­ lor Charles W, Riley spoke briefly in connection with the firm’s re­ quest and the fairness with which the matter had been brought to the attention of the council. He also stressed the importance of indus­ tries to the town. The Junior Fanners were granted *15.00 towards their plowing match and a resolution carried giving the Boy Scouts permission to hold “Apple Day” on Saturday, Sept 30. Councillor George Preston read a letter from E. Billington, chairman of the Industry and Labor Board, To­ ronto, in which it was stated “The Industry and Labor Board has pro­ vided a postponement in the matter of working hours of employees em­ ployed by municipalities, This post­ ponement allows such employees to continue the same working hours as in the past for a period as long as the present labor crisis exists (Continued on page 4) Commencing Monday of this weekthe local canvas in the Home FrontCampaign of the Salvation Army,got under way.

E. Johnson of the executive committee, is being ably assisted by Major Arthur Jordan, as campaign manager, H. I. Stewart as treasurer and B. Zurbrigg as adver­ tising manager. X The amount set for Ingersoll com­ mittee to raise is *2200 and with a full realization of the needs for this great social and spiritual force in the community it is felt that the amount will be readily and cheer­ fully contributed. The co-operation of all citizens is earnestly requested. Up to Wednesday noon over *600 had been contributed locally accord­ ing to information received from officials of the campaign. FIRST CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR, 1945 In speaking to Councillor Wilbur C. Watson on Tuesday, the Tribune representative was informed that Hte would be a candidate for the mayor­ alty at the next municipal election. Mr. Watson has served on the coun­ cil-for the past two years and feels that he understands the set-up suf­ ficiently to be of service in the capacity of mayor. With the retirement of Mayor Daniel who is the choice of the Pro- gressivc-Conservative Party in Ox­ ford for the coming Dominion elect­ ion, Mr. Watson is one of the three retiring members of council, along wwiitthh CCoouunncciilllloorrss MMuurrrraayy aaffcc Mor- rison. u While rumors have been current for some time, Mr. Watson definitely gave tho above information to The Tribune on being approached as to his intentions.

This city with a population of 34,843 in 1943, in; the year 1928 had 28 cases of diph­ theria with 4 deaths. In 1930 a big Toxoid Campaign was inaugurated. During the campaign the help of every doctor in the city was enlisted and funds were provided to remun­ erate the doctors. During the cam­ paign clinics were set up in all schools and 3,524 children were im­ munized. The last .case of diphtheria occurred in November, 1930. Since that date almost fourteen years ago. the good work has been kept up with the result that there has not been a single case of diphtheria since. There is not immediately available a record of any other city of compar­ able size in which there has been no diphtheria for as longj a time. Ham­ ilton, Ontario, with no cases for ten years in a city with a population of 174,547, has probably achieved a world record for citier in its own population group. PROTECTING CHILDREN’S LIVES k In the last year of record there were 687 cases of infantile paralysis in Canada and 64 deaths from this cause. This is a disease which is , regarded with veritable terror by the average parent, who is appar­ ently comparatively indifferent to the ravages of diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping cough, three diseases, the seriousness of which has been stressed during National'A™ unization Week. ' In 1942 as compared to 687 cases of infantile paralysis (poliomyelitis) there were in Canada, 2,955 cases of diphtheria, 18,384 cases of whooping cough and 20,648 cases of scarlet fever, a total of 41,987 cases and 943 deaths-. What the end results in thb children infected and surviving will be we do not know. Thai point in which parents should be interested is that scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria are preventable and in the absence of immunization more to be feared than the dreaded polio. Parents are urged to see to it that their children are protected.

TAKE A TIP The ^-old-time potherbs have again come into vogue as part of a well- planned garden. Fresh or dried, leaves and flowers add interest to various dishes. To Prepare Herbs for Storing After the dew has disappeared, pick just the young and tender leaves which appear prior to the plants flowering to allow a second growth of leaves as tender as the first. To retain seed pods, gather the entire plant just before the seeds have matured. Caraway, dill, mus­ tard and coriander are among the seeds used for seasoning. Dry leaves in a very slow oven for 14 hours, or tie in a loose bundle and hang in the shade until all moisture is removed. Crush the leaves to a powder and pack in air­ tight container. Seeds should be spread on a cloth rack and dried in the sun, turning daily. The Tower of London was begun ih 1978 by Bishop Gundulf at the direction of William the Conqueror.

As a result, reports J. D. McLeod, Direct­ or of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, many areas may now be observed heavily infested with such -weeds as Wild Carrot, Chicory a.id Ragweed. If neglected, these will produce millions of viable seeds and new areas will bee infected. In the case of Wild Carrot, Mr. McLeod points out, flowers and seeds will be produced until the first severe frost which may not be until November. Seeds remain on the plant until winter when they may be carried mile# over frozen ground and in drifting snow. Now that harvesting is nearly completed, Mr. MdLeod urges prop­ erty-owners to mow any weeds which require attention on their own property, also on adjoining road sides. If weeds are cut, rakes and burned at this time, many viable weed seeds will be destroyed. Weeds have never been as bad as they are at the present time. If neglected, the work of previous years will largely be undone. Weed cutting should receive attention at once. All farmers are urged to co­ operate in cleaning up this menace to crop and food production and make September a cleanup month.

Cleaning up the gar­ den wjll contribute more than any other single factor in bringing about a reduction in the number of in­ sect# which will be lying in .wait to attack the plants next year. In turn, the cleaning up will <be reflected in increased yields from the garden next year. In going over the past year’s ex­ perience, it may be noted that tho damage by insects might have been greatly reduced if they had not been allowed to hibernate during the winter beneath garden trash and weed#. Many insects leave the plants upon which they are feeding as soon os the plants lose their succulence and either migrate to other plants or go into hibernation beneath the undestroyed trash in the garden or under debris lying nearby. So, the gathering up and burning of garden debris as soon as the crop is harvested is important and should not be neglected. The plants and trash should not be allowed to lie about the garden until the freeze-up because by that time the insects will have escaped to some safe ptace in which to spend the winter, and. in the Spring they will emerge to prove destructive agents.

Of the etas* of 66 candidates who tried the entrance examinations, 64 were successful and 60 have entered the Collegiate. He reported that the pupils . were gathering milkweed pods for use in the war effort. The gymnasium classes have been started under the direction of J. E. West and a field day for public schools will be held September 27 at Victoria park. A parade and full program of •porta will take place on that occas­ ion., The religious education has been taken up by the Ministerial Associa­ tion and Mr Murray advised the board to ask for a continuance as the same system as used during the last three years in Ingersoll. The act calls for two half hours of religious ducted by Western University fac­ ulty every two weeks during the school year 1944-45. This class will be conducted on Saturdays for teachers and others interested. A resolution by Trustees Daniels and Ackert recommended that Mis­ Ruth Cuthbertson be allowed $53 for the purchase of music supplies and a resolution by Trustees Big­ ham and Cornell that Miss Good won be allowed $10 for a petty cash fund in the home economics depart­ ment.

Principal R. C. Brogden asked that the religious education be con­ tinued at the Collegiate Institute as in former years and commended the committee on the splendid appear­ ance of the school following the re­ decorating. He also explained that the board of works had widened the culvert and that conditions at the grounds are much better. He also told of a shortage of text books. His attendance figures showed an in­ crease over that of last year, and explained the system of division of pupils. He gave data on the Cadet Cprps activities and stated that Ingersoll Cadets had received 78 per cent and had ranked fourth in the list, the winning cadet corps having 81 per cent. They had also won the Laura Secord Trophy. The field day this year will be September 29th, when the sports program wil be run off both morn­ ing and afternoon. School Attendance Officer John Humphrey gave his report on activi­ ties and stated that he had made three home calls and issued 14 work permits. It was explained that these permits, while they seem a large ! dents drawn ....................., r__„ number, are lower in number than ' Canada and the United States. Many Jim Hunter, well-known Ontario news-caster, will be heard over CHML announcing farm, Ontario and world-wide news every day at 12 noon.

ART AND CULTURE IN THE NATIONAL PARKS Canada’s national parks have long been famous for their magnificent scenery and other attractions to the vacationist. Although established in the first place mainly as conservation projects, they have become of great importance in the Dominion’s tourist industry. The attractions of the parks may soon be extended to include more than material conditions and en­ vironment. It is beginning to be rea­ lized that they afford an admirable background for those forms of recreation which embrace the cul­ tural and the artistic. Nowhere can better settings be found for artists, either amateur or professional, and theatrical performances in the park settings take on qualities impossible elsewhere. Nowhere can recreation and mental improvement be com- bind to better advantage. A successful beginning along these lines has already been made in Banff National Park, Alberta, where the Extension Department of the Uni­ versity of Alberta, has. for several years past, been sponsoring a Sum­ mer School of Fine Arts. This year the school enrolled some 362 stu- from many parts of mtity for quality—>t* the SHUR-GAIN ling—and able—to layyear, with no sacrifice h of the right kind of A to Fill the Egg Basket!

The students at this school are able to combine study with recrea­ tion and pleasure in a most fascin­ ating environment. The course lasts during the month of August and in­ cludes classes in sketching, painting weavifig and design, music and choral singing and oral French. All branches of the theatre, acting, directing, staging methods, and play­ writing, are studied. The majority of the instructors have been re­ cruited either in Canada or the Uni­ ted States and are all prominent in the world of art, music and drama. Postwar courses may include model­ ling and pottery, and perhaps photo­ graphic art. The lead which has been taken in Banff will doubtless be followed in other parks where classes can com­ bine study and recreation amid sur­ roundings that are a dream of every art student. To be able to escape fjhe heift of city and town and the turmoil of huge industrial centres, to practice your studies and favourite pastimes in the shade of towering snow-capped mountains, or by the side of turbulent streams and thundering waterfalls, or in quiet, wooded, lake-studded valleys is a refreshing thought, especially in midsummer. It has been the pleasant experi­ ence of. hundreds of fortunate stu­ dents who have been able to go to Banff each year to study, to play, and to act in this vast mountain amphitheatre, where the scenery is breath-taking and inspiring and where Mother Nature herself pro­ vides the almost perfect lighting effects. It may also be possible in the post-war years to have similar schools in other national parks throughout Canada. Such a develop­ ment, if broadened to include people in all walks of life, would have a profound influence on Canadian citi­ zenship in the years that lie ahead. MRS. K.

WAR BRIDES WELCOMED BY CHURCH SOCIETIES A warm welcome to Canada has been issued to the 20,000 British war brides of Canadian servicemen jointly by the Women’s Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada and the women of the Church of England in Canada, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and the Baptist Church, Mrs. A. Roger Self, Dominion President of the Women's Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada, told the Eleventh General Council of the United Church of Canada, meeting in London, Ontario. Chaplains in all the services have been given cards on which the greet­ ing is contained for the newcomersto Canada, Mrs. Self told the Coun-' cil. The message said in part: “Wr hope you will quickly come to feel that this is your true home and will accept your share of responsibility in helping to make Canada a land of true moral and spiritual greatness. This can only be if all of our homes are based on the simple old virtues of honesty, unselfishness, hard work and faith.” Mrs. Self described the work of 2,500 W.MS. organizations in the United Church of Canada, and in the 4,340 organizations of children, teen age girls and young women where the W.M.S. carries on mis­ sionary education. There are 180,000 members in the W.M.S. across Can­ ada, she said. Total revenue of the organization last year was $736,271, an increase of $39,000 over the pre­ ceding year. An increase of $100,000 in the givings during the next year, and an addition of 50 missionary candi­ dates by 1947 wil be sought by the organization, Mrs. Self told General Council. “Young women of Chris­ tian character and purpose, and of high personal, professional and schol­ arship qualifications are needed,” she said. Mrs. Self said that missionaries were needed in Latin America. “Un­ less Christians unite to bring the Christian message to the people of Latin America, we will lose our chance to hvert another world war,” she said. W.M.S. aid to the China-India re­ lief appeal and to the work carried on by the Committee on Camp and War Production Communities, and by the Sunday School by Air and Mail was related by the national president.

To realize what Canada has ac­ complished and the responsibility placed upon our navies is to realise also how Canada has risen to the occasion and produced from inland as well as sea-girt provinces a race of sea-going men who have per­ formed their duties and held their own with the best of pre-war sea­ soned sailors and merchant seamen. It is to these men that the Navy League of Canada asks us to pay tribute in the form of providing them with 120,000 ditty bags at Christmas and hundreds of thous­ ands of woollens and .millions of magazines the year round. It is an appeal that must not go unanswered for these men of the seas are still undergoing hazards and facing ex­ posure to make victory sure! j WINTER SOIL MOISTURE The amount of soil moisture which may be conserved from winter snowfall is variable. When soil is dry and loose at the time thawing takes place, considerable snow water may be conserved. When the soil is frozen, much of the snow water will run off.* Where there is a good stubble or trash cover, even though the soil is frozen, the snow cover is held longer, so that moisture already stored on the soil surface is pre­ vented from escaping and thus con­ served. lUcitor, will continna to-actice.

PRIDE IN OUR NAVIES The largest convoy “ever to sail the seas” arrived recently in the United Kingdom entirely under close escort of the Canadian ftavy and under air cover of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Air ^farce, according to Navy Min­ ister Macdonald.

Theee broad hints can be detected between the lines of polit­ ical declarations, decisions and other actions on international or national tames. A likely bask background may be the present Government's strong defence of its past accom­ plishments as well as its future plans for the people of Canada in the new era after the war and a powerful attack by their opponents against the present Government’s record as well as a presentation of varied other plans for the masses of this country in the so-called “new order” in the world. In defence of its achievements of the past and poli­ cies of the future it is hinted in acme quarters along Parliament Hill that very strong emphasis may be placed by supporters of the present Government on the ground that1 Premier King’s experience and repu­ tation as a leader in world affairs are necessary in the best interests of this country at international con­ ferences after the war in addition to all other arguments in favour of the Government's domestic plans for post-war reconstruction and econ­ omic as well as social betterment within this country'. Such ideas have been interpreted as possible suggest­ ions between the lines of Govern­ ment supporters’ comments on cer­ tain post-war matters of future con­ sideration of a distinct own flag as well as national anthem for Canada, the role to be played by Canada in internationl relations or in the Brit­ ish Commonwealth of Nations’ prob­ lems of private and public enter­ prise or socialism schemes for full employment, social security meas­ ures and so forth. Meanwhile, the political talk backstage along Parlia­ ment Hill is becoming more and more voluble now as the experts on strategy of Hie different parties or groups create their plans of cam­ paign and move their best forces into position for defence or attack in the battle of the ballots of the next general election with political man­ oeuvres already seemingly having hinted that preparations have been made to meet any sudden appeal to the people of Canada due to any­ thing warranting such happening unexpectedly. jobs might be eliminated gradually in line with the rapidly changing conditions, this being ar. important suggaation of what may tea expected During the war the puls# of the people could have been beat felt in Ottawa and this point should b» bom in mind by the man in-the- street since the Civil Service in the Nation’s capital had increased from about 20,004 to approximately 40,000. REPORT OF INVESTIGATION From time to time stories have been heard in Canada that supplies or materials belonging to the United States forces along the famous Alaska Highway have been destroyed or wasted but it must be noted that an investigation by the United States authorities has disselosed that proper diligence was employed in the care and use of all such equipment or supplies. In relation to the special conditons prevailing there on account of the weather territory and operations the only equipment or supplies not worth : ■ bringing back to the United States were left, perhaps temporarily > with Canada's Minister of Munitions and Supply, Hon. C. D. Rowe, having stated some time ago that this coun­ try -was trying to make arrangements by which the Government in Ottawa might be able to be the agent for the Government in Washington in helping to dispose of such supplies of a surplus nature on behalf of the United States. SERIOUS OBSTACLES SIGN OF CHANGING CONDITIONS The story is going the rounds now behind the scenes along Par­ liament Hill that many men and In the course of the bitter heated political campaign in Province of Quebec when many deli­ cate issues on war policies were raised, National Union party leader and premier-elect Maurice Du­ plessis was reported to have said that he would establish a provincial broadcasting system in the Province of Quebec after he was elected. However, it must be pointed out that any such ambitious plan or scheme on the part of Premier-elect Mauric Duplessis or any other polit­ ical leader in any province must be digested only after an important decision of the highest court of jus­ tice is considered in its proper light In 1981 the Supreme Court of Can­ ada on a reference by the Govern­ ment of Quebec, had rendered a decision that the control of radio •was wholly within the power of the Parliament This decision was upheld by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1982. As a result legal and other serious obstacles stand in the path of any such ambi­ tious plan or scheme to create a provincial broadcasting system in Canada on the part of the Hon. Maurice Duplessis in Quebec or anyone else in any other province under the same circumstances. and the IMPORTANT OIL AGREEMENT 75th ANNIVERSARY OF McLAUGHLIN-GM ENTERPRISE The McLaughlin Carriage Works was founded 75 years ago this week at Enniskillen, near Oshawa, by Robert McLaughlin and a handful of employees (ABOVE).

Potatoes should be ns dry as possible when going into storage. The best temper­ ature for seed stock is 33 to 38 degrees F., but for table stock 38 to 42 degrees will give best results. Lower temperatures tend to cause a sweet flavour. Potatoes will keep .much better if placed in slatted bins.

USNEW FALLARRIVALSComing up for the week of Octo­ ber 8-14th, Canada will again observe “Fire Prevention Week,” deemed «o important that it is an­ nounced by Proclamation in the Can­ ada Gazette. The Dominion Fire Commissioner flatly states there are too many fires on Canadian farms as well as towns and cities. During the past ten years 470,000 fires in the Dominion have destroyed insur­ able property valued at more than $264,000,000, and during that period 2.869 persons lost their, lives as a result of fires. That’s something to think about, alright, and a mighty good reason why everyone should make a thorough inspection of premises for fire hazards—and be careful, always. Nearly all fires can be prevented. You mightn’t think it, but the "taxation” policy of the government is another weapon in the fight to keep down the cost of living and the same is true of "savings”, both hav­ ing the same result, i.e., helping to pay for the war and curbing excess purchasing power. Through support- ting price and wage controls Can­ adians contribute passively to the success of the stabilization policy to keep down the cost of living. Through taxation and increased savings they can make an active contribution and a very important one. That is something to remember when the War Finance organization starts functioning again to mobilize personal savings for Victory through another loan. No one envies the work of the federal Labor Department which has the tough job of having directed toward it most of the labor and in­ dustrial disputes which arise. It is encouraging to hear a report from the department, though, that there has been a decided reduction in time lost through strikes in the first six months of 1944, compared with the same period of 1943. Pre­ liminary figures show that 51,000 Workers were involved in 110 dis­ putes, with a loss of 330,000 man hours. In last year’s 6-month period, there were 208 disputes, with 100,000 workers and a loss of nearly 516,000 mandays. Dress Goods Comforters New New Wool W. W.

Our navy manned 30 infantry . landing craft, 16 motor torpedo boats for the operations, and had 19 corvettes escorting invasion convoys as well as six of our largest and most pow­ erful destroyers. In all, 109 ships, manned by about 10,000 officers and men took part in the invasion. Our navy had a great record against U- boats and since .the beginning of the war, by themselves, captured one surface ship, sank twelve, and dam­ aged sixteen. Canadian ships were represented also in naval forces, which sank 23 enemy surface vessels, damaged nine others. • \ •. In the farmyard Canadian hens have scored an astounding record for their bosses, farmers and poultry­ men. In the jirst 7 inonths^of this year, the Special Products Board bought ifearly two and a half mil­ lion cases of surplus shell eggs for export to Britain in the form of dried egg powder. This is double that of any first seven months in any previous peak year, __ Venertal disease has been very effectively handled by the Canadian Army authorities. Its campaign against one of the oldest of health problems has shown results. From a disease rtete in the Canadian Army of 62 per thousand at the beginning of the war, VJD, casualties haVte now J. James Milios-, PreslAraf.Harold I. PenA Secretary.been brought down to 24 |mw thous­ and a year, a reduction of nearly two-thirds. No soldier found to be infected Trill be allowed to return to civilian life until riven suitable treatment and received a clean bill- of-health.e o n When the liner "Gripaholm” sailed recently fo» Sweden to exchange German and Allied prisoners of war, it also carried 1,500 bags of parcels for Canadian prisoners of war in Germany. When the Canadian Post Office department found there would be space for mail, quick arrange­ ments were made to include 1,110 bags of parcel post, on hand in New York. Usually they go through Switzerland, by way of Marseille, but since the latter is now in the battle zone, parcel post had accum­ ulated in New York. New labels were quickly printed in Ottawa, flown to New York and that’s the story behind the story. Our lumber industry will be in a favored spot when the war is over. Negotiations have been in process between the British Timber Control Office and eastern and western Can­ adian lumbermen for the export of 2,400,000,000 feet of lumber in the two years after, and this .will in­ volve a transaction of nearly $140,- 000,000. Canada is expected to be­ come the chief source of lumber for British reconstruction in the im­ mediate post-war years, because of the heavy demands on all the Baltic countries except Sweden for their own domestic reconstruction. Brit­ ain’s demands for lumber can be gauged by the report that the robot bombs damaged or destroyed a mil­ lion homes or buildings in their own little "blitz.” There’s still worry about the coal situation in this country and the Munitions Department advises householders, especially in certain regions, to place 'orders at once for delivery when the dealer can deliver. Since war started, Canadian coal consumption has jumped about 70% from 98,000,000 short tons in 1939-40 to an estimated 47,000,000 short tons for 1944-45. Our imports from the UJSA. doubled in the last 3 H years, but their own domestic consumption increase makes further importation difficulties for us. • • • An unheralded new industry in Canada is highlighted by refugees allowed in, and many have come here since 1938 establishing indus­ tries of consequence. "Canada At War” reports that nearly 5,000 workers are employed by these in­ dustries 87 % of them Canadian with a total annual payroll of $6,727,- 000. The five biggest industries— producing from $1 million to $9 million worth of goods each a year —are turning out 80 to 100% war materials. The majority of there industries have settled in the east: 25 in Ontario, 17 in Quebec, and one each in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. More than half are intro­ ducing new skills, new techniques or new products to Canadian economy. From special curing and canning of hams to the first factory to cut and polish diamonds for tools. Most of the refugees came from Czechoslov­ akia, though there are Germans, Poles, Belgians, Hungarians, Neth­ erlander! and French as well. There has been magnificent re­ sponse reported in blood donations at the Canadian Red Cross clinic. In the year 1943 there were 529,635 donattoiafi compared to 5,825 in 1940. But in the first six months of thia year 533,992 donations were given, store than for the whole of last year. The ability to see depends not on sight alone, but on the inner intel­ ligence. The things one seee are the things one wants to see; the man who lifts his eyes to the heavens sees stars and moon and cloud forma­ tions; the one who is of earth en­ tirely drops his to seek a trail in the dust. Starlight can draw the soul up to behold the sky’s eternal majesty; dust can draw the soul down sadly to contemplate proud man’s fitful passage. It is all in the state of mind; all in the way we have come to 0>ink, for life can partake of either heaven or earth, of the eternal or the ephe­ meral. The passage of life on this globe may be comparatively short; it may of necessity keep one very close to earth; its pressure and its cares; its constant succession of disappoint­ ments may make it pertain less to the heavenly than we would desire, but there’s heaven too, in beauty unac­ quired by earth's drab measurements made in gold and silver. There’s a joy in the contemplation of such beauty, in sunlight and shade, in trees, in rippling water, in moon­ light nights, in storms, in the sea­ son's change, in a baby’s smile, in the unconscious joy of young things, >>the passage of time itself. All are of heaven, and are to be seen as heavenly, but conversely all are of earth and are to be seen as earthy, as unsatisfactory or swiftly passing. It is only when we choose to see the heavenly in common things that we are truly happy, for those who have taken the greatest joy in life are not those who have forfeited the years to the accumulation of wealth, but those who have taken joy where it is always to be had, in nature, in oneself and one’s capacities, in giv­ ing rather than in receiving, in mak­ ing one’s appetite conform with the menu life offers, and in resisting always the urge to look down and see the unpleasant in people and in life. It isn't easy at times to look up when earth’s demands are so insist­ ent; it isn’t possible, nor is it wise, About 60 friends of Mrs. Bert Cole, formerly Betty Mott, met at the home of Mrs. Fred Brewer, Cherry street, on Thursday last, and presented her with a miscellaneous shower. Many beautiful gifts were received and placed before profuse floral decorations with pink and white streamers. The evening was spent in a social manner and refreshments were served by the hostess and a number of friends. Guests were present from Mount Elgin, Salford and Ingersoll. Potato Survey Undertaken To Halt Disease In order to prevent the further spread of the very infectious and destructive potato disease known as Bacterial Ring Rot, a survey is being undertaken by the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Depart­ ment of Agriculture, R. E. Goodin,, potato fieldman of that Branch, an­ nounces. Potato growers in commercial potato growing areas who wish to ascertain if the disease is present in their crops should apply for field inspection to the above Branch, at the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, or to their local Agricultural Repre­ sentative before Sept. 6. This ser­ vice is free of charge for one acre or more of potatoes. Where the dis­ ease is found prevalent, control measures have been prescribed in the interests of the grower and the in­ dustry. These must be complied with in order to eradicate the disease with minimum loss. Bacterial Ring Rot was first loqat- DA Stratii ii.fy.
