Ontario. The collections of fossil corals in the Royal Ontario to the fact that coral reefs and islands jire not confined to our pre­ sent day and age. In the prehistoric seas that flooded the continent fiom time to time, corals flournished in great variety. Their fossilizd remains are found in all latitudes from Arctic to Antarcticc. If ancient corals lived in warm waters, as their descendants do to-day, we might assume that polar seas were ot one time like our present tropical waters. The Hagersville fossil corals lived over 300 million years ago. With the passage of time their limy skeletons often became cemented together in great masses. These accumulations are powerful agents in building up limestone beds. Coralline limestones have many important uses in our present day economy, such as build­ ing stone, and road fillers. Thus the lowly creatures known as corals have done their bit. not only in shaping the globe, but in shaping our modern civilization.

Those who advocate the socializ­ ation of all industry in this country, might well ponder the record of To­ ronto’s civic abattoir In the twenty-nine years that the abattoir has been in operation, the gross revenue has been $4,561,519, and the total expenses $4,926,194— the deficit amounting to $364,671). That was the total accumulated defi­ cit as of December; 31, 1943, Since then the sum of $100,000 has been appropriated for maintenance. For only a few years has the abattoir shown,, an operating surplus, amj even that would have been wiped .out if it had been subjected U> the same taxation that privately- owned businesses—pa£ The civic- abattoir pays no municipal tax, in­ come tax, excess ‘profits tax nor .cor­ poration tax—yet it'is operated at a loss. When the' abattoir was opened in ,1915 its advocates argued that its operation as a municipal enterprize would be justified because it would keep down the price of meat. But the taxpayers in Toronto have had to pay virtually the same for their roasts, steaks and chops as have the citizens in other parts of Ontario jvhere no civic abattoir boosts the tax rate. _ , -Ardent socialists mpy contend that generalizing 'from this particu­ lar example of a publicly owned bus­ iness would be unsound reasoning'; but what justification is there for assuming that greater success would be achieved by a civic xifonworks, brickyard Ar gwaolinexbfinery.? .

Whether you use a liquid, cream or cake rouge, be sure to choose a shade that harmonizes with your skin tones. If your features are thin, avoid a dark rouge as it tends to throw shadows that emphasize facial lines. Before applying fresh mak-up, see that your skin is thor­ oughly cleansed with lukewarm water and whipped-cream lather fac­ ial or your favourite complexion soap. If you’re using cream rouge, apply it after your foundation . . . last of all, dust on powder. Apply cream rouge in a scries of dots, then blend together smoothly, fad­ ing out at the edges so it has a natural look. Cake rouge goes on last, after both foundation and powder. Liquid rouge is applied directly to the skin with a pad of cotton or the fingertips. To get make-up that’s just right, use the cheekbones as a focal point, and place colour, emphasis where it will do most for your features, And re­ member, do apply your make-up with regard to the lighting in which you expect to wear it, ~ BARRIS' PATERSON, STISHALL, Barristl Royal Bank Bui| md MAR FSolicitors.Ingersoll.

AUCTIONEERS Every woman likes the appearanceof a handsome, leather-upholstered chair to lend character to her living­ room. However, since leather reacts adversely to strong heat from radi­ ators and registers, during the win­ ter and spring months, it requires extra care. To care properly for leather-upholstered furniture, dust frequently with a soft, untreated duster. Once a month, clean the leatlftr with a cloth wrung out of lukewarm water and extra-soapy suds. Rinse with damp, clean cloth aind rub dry with a soft cloth. Follow with a special leather conditioning dressing. If the leather shows signs of dryness or cracking, the recondi­ tioning dressing may be used weekly. Imitation leather upholstery calls for the same treatment, only omit­ ting the use of the reconditioning dressing. New Life For Men’s Suita Is the man of your house wearing the last of his pre-war suits? From clothing experts come these tips on how to make that good suit or top­ coat wear longer. First, brush it often—air often. Be sure to- brush cloth in the direction of the grain, inside and out, with special care around pockets and cuffs. Hang to air, either beside an open window, or outdoors if weather permits. Second, always use clothes hangers. If no trouser hanger is available, fold a piece of heavy cardboard over a wire hanger to hold trousers. Third, remove stains or spots before press­ ing. When pressing serge or cloth suits at home, remember that a warm iron may “set” spots that will never come out. Common stains as tea, coffee, fruit juice, etc., can be easily sponged off with a cloth dip­ ped in warm water and extra-soapy suds. Carbon tetrachloride is handy to remove grease or other stubborn stains. Fourth, remember the busy moth—play safe and protect that good suit with moth balls or crystals, or wrap in paper and store in an air­ tight bpx; And last, mend every hole as it appears. An occasional trip to the invisible menders will pay off in longer ivear for a suit or topcoat. charge of the devotional program.After a hymn the Scripture lessonwas read by Mrs. Baakette.

A Valentine’s Day Party may be in the offing at your home, in which case you will already be thinking of special'menus. To any homemaker the success of a party depends to a large extend on food—carefully planned, and pre­ pared. If you are entertaining the "Teen-Agers” at a buffet supper, here are some food fancies we es­ pecially like, because they are bo decorative and so easily prepared. Potato Salad In setting up Potato Salad for Valentine's Day we use beets for a basis. Slivers of cooked beets are steeped for 2 minutes, in hot vinegar to which a bag of whole spices has been added. When chilled, put in lettuce cups placed in heart-shaped design on a platter. Press potato salad around to keep the lettuce in position. The salad could be served in the centre of a large platter sur­ rounded by assorted cold cuts. Spread each slice of meat with cheese filling (use cottage or cream cheese mixed with salad dressing and seas­ onings) then roll and secure with toothpick. Relish Tray This platter could be accompanied with a relish tray made up of small gherkins, celery curls dipped in paprika, and thin triangles of. white turnip. Chill in seperate containers in the eleytric refrigerator for <m^ half hour before serving. Glaze for Rolla FROM TEXAS-NEW CABBAGE Solid Green lb.

As ayule it is subtracted for that veryreason, as the subtractor well knows.And bow I, an ardent protagonist ofthe democratic form of government,could have become a Karl Marxist is beyond me. Surely to say one be­ lieves Marx to be right in one of his conclusions is not to profess that I swallow Marx and all he believed, hook, line and sinker. As for having a passion for a par­ ticular party, let me hasten to say I have none. The only Part}’ for which I have voted consistently is the Tory Party, but that kind of consistency (or feeling as I now do, it would be inconsistency) I have thrown ovrboard. In future I vote for a candidate who, I leel, has the best chance to work for the things I think important. Democracy can do anything and everything that any other form of government can do, and do it bet­ ter, but it has to be real democracy, not a pseudo form of it. It has to admit that every child* 1s entitled to everything that produces in him a healthy mind and body, and see that he gets it; that every man is gainfully employed at a wage that permits him to make a comfortable home for his family. Surely this cun be carried out in a capitalistic economy as in a socialistic state. Who said it could not? We can do anything we see possible and desire to do. But we haven’t done it yet, and so long as TOUGH SLEDDING IN THE ARDENNES AREA Ardennes area has made use of sleds practical, as ameans of transporting ammunition, rations, water,etc, to the front lines and also in bringing ba-k men of the service forces.

WOOD PASSES IN 73rd YEAR The death occurred at Victoria Hospital, London, on Sunday, of Ed­ ward John Wood in his 73rd year. Born in Mount Elgin, he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John W. Wood. He spent the early part of his life in Ingersoll and later moved to Tillsonburg where he operated a book store. Twenty-eight years ago he moved to London and was a sales­ man for the Watts and Foster Co. of Montreal until he retired: He was a member of King Hiram Lodge, A.F. and A.M., and Otter Lodge. I.O.O.F., Tillsonburg, and of the Anglican Church. Left to mourn his passing are his wife, Mrs, Alice Maude Wood, Lon­ don; two sons, Edwards B. (Peg..) Wood, London; Robert M.,' a pris­ oner of war in Germany; three daughters, Mrs. Clarence Bawden, London; Mrs. Richard Franktin, Woodstock; Mrs. D. Wesley Kells, Kingston; one brother, George W. Wood, Ingersoll, and one sister, Miss Hattie Wood, Tillsonburg, Mr. Wood was well and favorably known in Ingersoll, having made fre­ quent visits here and assisted his brother George at the Christmas season when he operated the bookstore here. The funeral was held on Tuesday to the Woodland Cemetery, London, ing and washing, has been reco­ gnized generally. In tests on the Sub-Station at Delhi, the one-way disk has left the ground in a more desirable condition than the plow, but plant refuse near the surface has sometimes increased the difficul­ ties in planting, fertilizing, and weeding- the **crop with present machinery. Changes in fertilizer distributors to give better control over rate of application during variable weather as well as greater ability to place fertilizer properly under different soil conditions, could add to their efficiency. Most row cultivators in present use were built for deep cul­ tivation rather than primarily for weed control, which is now known to be the main benefit from cultivating the growing tobacco crop. Methods and equipment used in priming, stringing, and handling leaf in the pnekbarn and the stripping room were introduced when exper­ ienced help was available. Since then practically no improvements have come into general use to reduce the cost or damage that results from handling by inexperienced help. Tobacco curing equipment has received more attention than that used for -any other phase of its pro­ duction. Even in this there has been comparatively little general develop­ ment, and certainly not enough to reduce noticeably the heavy losses that occur each year through faulty curing. This whole matter of equipment for flue-cured tobacco farms merits thorough study. This appears to be a job for a well-qualified agricul­ tural engineer working under actual farm conditions. we think of the problem of unem­ ployment as impossible of solution, so long shall we have the problem. A change in our present form of government may not be needed; a change in our monetary system may be unnecessary; a change in our capitalistic economy may be redund­ ant, but a change somewhere is nec­ essary, if such disaster ns struck us some years ago, isn’t to bejre- peated. I still think with Karl Marx that too great wealth at one end of the poles makes for too little at the other, and if that is all there is to Marxism, then set me down as a Marxist, but it’s the first time I have ever heard of a case being proved on the basis of one’s accept­ ance of one theorem out of a mass of them.“Cod's in His Heaven; alls well with the world,” may be gloriously true when all’s well with us as in­ dividuals, but all’s not well with a world that suffers periodic wars and depressions And if Karl Marx or Mr. Beveridge or Mr. Deachman can guarantee a cure for our ills. I’m all for him, whoever he may be. Why, I’d even vote for Mr. Deachman at the coming election. Sincerely Mr. Editor, EVELINE A. LONG.

Humphrey Mitchel), announces that beginning February* 1st, 1945, cus­ toms officers at border points have instructions not to allow any man to leave Canada if he requires permis­ sion from a Mobilization Board but .fails to produce the necessary doc- wnent. ''■'Menin age groups designated un­ der Mobilization Regulations can only leave Canada, regardless of the length of time they plan to be absent, with the permission of the Chairman or Deputy Chairman of a Mobilization Board. The Minister points out that in order to avoid the inconvenience of being turned back at the. border any men who are affected sho'uld 'll rat communication with the Chairman of the Mobilization Board for their division. Officials of the mobilization section of National Selective pervic^e at Ottawa state that the regulation applies to all men from 18 to 31 years of age (both ages ificlusive), and to men who were not married al July 15th, 1940, who are above the age of 31 years but have not passed their 38th birthday. It was explained that in very rare cases, such as a hurried visit due to serious family sickness, a customs officer may permit a man to cross the border after very careful ques­ tioning—but that in almost all cases the rule will be rigidly enforced. It was pointed out by Selective Service that the permission pf the Chairman or Deputy Chairman of a Mobilization Board to temporarily leave Canada does not remove the necessity for having a labour exit permit where such a permit is not necessary. Commuters and those men who cross the border frequently while engaged at their work, as for ex­ ample, workers in the transportation industry, will be required to have permission from a Mobilization Board in the same manner as other men. but the commuters and transporta­ tion workers will be allowed a few days to secure the necessary docu­ menta, and in the meantime will not fee-stopped from crown* the border The annual meeting of the Ladies'Guild was held at the home of Mrs.Lee on Tuesday, January 30th, witha good attendance of members andthe president in charge.

I To (issist families in Canada in ob­ taining information as to the pres­ ent whereabouts of relatives and friends with w-hom they have lost contact owing to the war, Red Cross is inaugurating a new sen-ice, Mr. Stafford Roberts, Commissioner of the Ontario Division announced re­ cently. The International Red Cross at Geneva, already beseiged by thou­ sands who are out of touch with home, relatives and friends who are scattered over Europe, seeks to obtain a register of all persons in Canada who have relatives, connect­ ions. friends, anywhere in Europe. Cards provided by International Red Cross will be distributed by the Div­ ision to its Branches throughout Ontario. Branches in turn, will give this project wide publicity. The caixis, which are postage free, will be filled in by an enquirer and placed in the mail t|>x for transmis­ sion to Geneva. The new service is not for the purpose of sending mes­ sages nor for instituting a search, but they will be indexed and filed at Geneva so that if similar enquiries should be made by the missing re­ lative, contact ■ between two en- quiriers may be more promptly established. Over 50,000 of the cards One cable each way may be ex­ changed between Canadian Prisoners of War in the Far East and their Next of Kin in Canada, during the next year, the Canadian Red Cross revealed recently. The Canadian Red Cross Society has agreed t<5 pay for these cables, both ways. Next of Kin in Canada of these prisoners may send a cable through the Red Cross Enquiry Bureau at Ottawa at any time. It is suggested that it would be wise for the Next of Kin to wait for a considerable time, a month or more, before send­ ing this in the hope that a cable may come forward in the meantime from their prisoner relatives in the Far East, to which they can reply. In this way the possibility of cables cross­ ing each other on the way would be obviated and the results w-ould be more satisfactory to all concerned. and Mrs. Mostyn Pte.

It was an elastic requirementthat only held when the squadronwas flush with planes. If there was extra stock on hand, the studentswho had satisfactorily completedtheir training in the patrol bomb­ers. and were judged competentfor the undertaking, finished thecourse by soloing. A few weeks ofthis regime was enough to liquidateany surplus in material*. Then the system would have to be abolisheduntil production provided excess again. When 1 passed by, they were,so to speak, dumping coffee in theGulf once more.Two students and a mechanicwent together on these forays.

On the otherhand, the trip held out nothing butunrewarded peril to the mechanic.He was usually dragged aboardkicking and screaming.

Remember this when our local branch of the Navy League asks our interest and support as it is doing now. A dispatch from London, England, recently stated, that some 200 to 300 unproved German U-boats were searching out our convoys in the North Atlantic, harrying the hapless merchant ships and giving constant concern, involving long hours of nerve-racking duty to officer* and men of Royal Canadian Navy ships that protected them.

RUSSIAN STEAMROLLER STILL ROLLING GERMANY CZECHO- SLOVAKIA l~“ POLANI iiuv s ^ .csmrcii; In times such as the present, ten­sion and strain appear to promotecriticisms of systems and institutions—often of those that have best sur­vived the test of the years. In Canada a socialistic movement seeks to take away from the tens ofthousands of shareholders their own­ ership of the banks in .which they have invested their money, and tovest that ownership in a state of monopoly. This is not intended by itssupporters as a punitive measure forwrongdoing, nor is it designed to correct any evil practices. They ac­knowledge that banks are well oper­ ated, that they do not ma^e excess­ ive profits, and that they are wellregulated by Parliament They admit that they wish to take them out of the hands of the shareholders solelyfor the purpose of effecting control over all business and of the entireeconomy of the country, somethingimpossible under the present system The socialists have made it clear that their intention is to use the vastpool of individuals’ deposits as a national fund wherewith they mayfinance grandiose schemes of so-called "planned economy” and also finance,as they themselves admit, enterprises which may be non-paying but, in their opinion, socially desirable.Those who seek to erase the share­holders’ investment are vocal and vociferous. They try to mystifypeople by representing banking as a great monopolistic organization oper­ ating from behind a veil of mystery.I am a firm believer in the capacity of the average Canadian to disting­ uish simple truth and separate itfrom political propaganda; therefore,we should tell more fully and more often the simple facts about banks.A bank, in essence, exists simply because it renders a service that the community needs and is willing topay for at rates that will yield a modest profit to those who have in­ vested their money in its shares. Thebanks have assisted Canada through all of the viccissitudes of national growth. They have served the coun­try in good times and bad; prospered when the people prospered and suf­ fered in times of depression. Overthe long years that the Canadian banks have been operating, theirclients, depositors and borrowers alike, have had ample p pof of the unquestioned worth of th lir obliga­tions, of the integrity of tb":- — agement and of the adeqi itof their assets over liabil ti positors and others.There is no mystery t >out bank­ ing but considerations of secrecy asto clients’ business not i * ’bar us from making repli that would be irrefutablehigh store upon the seen clients’ business.

Labour Efficiency Essential to Exports Canada is vitally interested in the plans being investigated and formu­lated by the various countries to promote a sound basis for inter­national trade including currencystabilization. The Canadian ■Government is fully alive to the importance of our exporttrade and its relation to a high, stan­ dard of postwar employment, and is already taking important measures topromote such trade. In the past Great Britain has been by far our largest customer. It seems apparent that after the war her ex­ ports will for a time at least be at a■lower level than in pre-^ar years. Earnings from British shipping .willprobably be substantially down and undoubtedly income from British in­vestments abroad will be much re­ duced due to liquidation during thewar. Her buying abroad will inevit­ ably be confined or nearly so to vitalnecessities at least for some years. The same will apply to the war-torn countries of Western Europe. Nevertheless, the immediate need offoodstuffs, as well as lumber andmetals with which to sustain, repair and rebuild the devastated nations,is likely to tax to the limit our abil­ ity to supply during the first two orthree year< following the end of war in Europe- 'If Canada is to mejt these press­ ing needs and at the same time serveher own best interests, she must take a broad-minded long-term view ofher export trade, and to that end be as generous as is practically possiblein extending .credits and otherwise assisting those nations sorely in needof our products. It is essential jd»o that new avenues of export businessbe explored to a much greater extent than has been the practice in the pasL. ' < •There must be fewer barriers tothe exchange of good* than formerly and a more complete understanding of the problems of other countries.It must be rmeoibered, too, that in international trade, sales mustlargely be offset by purchases and we must be prepared to import mor*than in prewar year*. , ?,? ^e final analysis, however, ourability to compete successfully inthe world's markets must dependchiefly on the cost of our products, which will be largely governed by the efficiency of post-war labour andits willingness to give full value for the high wage* necessary to themaintenance of a good standard ofliving.

Its effect is to curb incentive* to work and to save, and under theexcess profits levy, the expansion of a business through internal growthis practically impossible. One of the first needs for post-war Canada is acomplete overhaul of taxation, which must be accomplished with visionand a determination to see that hon­est effort is not stifled. We regret to note numerous cases where individuals and groups, whofor long years have successfully operated a particular industry, arebeing forced to sell or otherwise liquidate their business in order toprevent a sacrifice sale or liquida­ tion of their holdings later for thepurpose of meeting succession duties. This is not good for the economy ofthe country, especially at a time when the most experienced guidanceis needed for the preservation and expansion of our industrial life. Wesincerely hope that some workable reform will result from the detailedstudy which is now being made by Ottawa of the entire problem of succession duties in combinationwith income tax as applied to busi­ness life.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB 8, 19<feOTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK— By Doan Wilson —such a post is held “during pleasureof the Crown.” In other words, theFederal Government, which makessuch an appointment, has held that aLieutenant-Governor is the represen­tative of the Crown in a ProvinceWHIRLWIND OF WORDSIt is most important for the man-in-the-street across Canada to learnthat this veteran observer must re­ port at this time that it is clear along Parliament Hill that there are many efforts to guess the supposed probability or possibility of the com­ ing political developments in Ottawa, including the forthcoming events that may be aftermaths of the North Grey by-election and the coming general election. It is said in well-informed quarters along Parliament Hill that at best these opinions or conjectures are usually basd on slight or presumptive evi­ dence and their proponents are gen­ erally moving in circles. This means that these are nothing more tfean idle political speculations without good ground of knowledge or suffic­ ient evidence, adding immeasureably to a pretense of the existence of mysterious or enigmatical political conditions in Ottawa. In reality, not­ withstanding all propaganda or pub­ licity to the contrary, yet the polit­ ical situation in Ottawa at this moment is not inexplicable because it can be emphasized in the strongest possible terms that the course of con­ duct of the Federal Government is most likely to be governed by the de­ velopments on the war fronts just as much, if not more so, than by the political factors on the home front. Even with the facilities for “knowing what is happening in the war to a far better extent than the man-in- street, still the top men along Par­ liament Hill have been considerably surprised at the rapid pace of the latest development on the war fronts. This seems apparent to this veteran observer so that it is wise on the part of the man-in-the-street to recognize that the war events rather than the home front political occur­ rence will determine the course of action of the Federal Government in the coming weeks with the added hint that any emergency caused by the war may force the hand of polit­ical leaders to do what the circum­stances will dictate, even in regardto any sudden calling of a session,iC-conditfons should compel such an emergency action. The war, and war alone, will decide what will happen in this nation’s capital. MOVES AND MOTIVES The Government in Ottawa has been expanding greatly its diplomatic rpresentations in Latin America and these latest moves have aroused much curiosity about this country becoming a member of the Pan Amer­ ican Union. However, it is reported in usually reliable quarters in Ottawa that these latest diplomatic moves do not necessarily mean that Canada will enter the Union shortly. It can be stressed that thdse moves are re­ lated more to economic purposes than it is generally realized since such diplomatic representations may play an important role in the dramatic efforts'of Canada to expand greatly her trade in these new Latin Amer­ ican markets. Indeed these new Can­ adian offices in Latin America are generally coupled with objectives for more trade and there are indications of conriderbale progress. In 1939, Canada’s exports to Latin America were $20,000,000 but in the year before last these were over $26,570,- 000. Likewise, there was a large in­ crease in imports. One expert in this capital has estimated that Can­ ada might set a $50,000,000 a year export trade target in these new markets. In other words, if such an expansion was possible under the extreme wartime difficulties of ship­ ping. shortages of supplies and other severe restrictions, it is held that the possibilities for Canada’s economic expansion in this new field after this war are almost unpredicable. In short, it is claimed that, to some extent at least, these latest rapid diplomatic expansions in Latin Amer­ ican countries are not necessarily connected with Canada’s immediate and not a persona grata, such as con- entrance into the Pan American Union and that these moves may be made more with economic designs at this time. UNDERCURRENT OF DISAGREEMENT Beneath the surface of the dispute between Premier Maurice Duplessis of .Quebec and Premier Mackenzie King over the request by this Provin­ cial Prime Minister that the Federal Government should, consult a Provip- ical Government before making any appointment of a Lieutenant-Gov­ ernor is a point of bitter contention. Gen. Sir Eugene Fiset’a five years’ term as Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec had expired legally on Dec. t4, 1944, but no other appointment had been 'made on the ground that Oxford. County Branch. WOODSTOCt, ONTARIO. C. G. MITCHE1X. MANAGE* tended by Premier Duplessis. There­fore, a Lieutenant-Governor cancarry on indefinitely under certaincircumstances and beyond the five-year’s term with such precedents hav­ ing already set in Canada in other cases, including Lieutenant-Governor Matthew of Ontario or Lieutenant- Governor MacNab of Saskatchewan. PROTEST CURTAILMENT Delegations from the National Re­ ligious Advisory Council and the Lord’s Day Alliance of Canada have held a private conference in Ottawa with the Governors of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and it has been reported along Parliament Hill that they have protested strongly against any further curtailment of Sunday religious broadcasting over both the C.B.C. and privately owned radio stations across this country. COMMONWEALTH COUNCIL The Government in Ottawa will take part in the establishment and operations of a Commonwealth Air Transport Council. This has been announced in the capital where it was also disclosed that the functions of this Council will be to keep a watchful eye on the development of Commonwealth civil air communica­ tions -to provide a medium for ex­ change of view’s os well as inform­ ation on such matters, and to con­ sider as well as to advise on such civil aviation affairs as any nation of the Commonwelth may desire to refer to the Cotf/lil. The first meet­ ing of this Council will be held in London and the wartime membership will include the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, India, Southern Rhod­ esia, Newfoundland, and the Colonial Empire. EXPENDITURES OF UNNRA IN CANADA Before the year 1945 will end, it is expected that the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administra­ tion will spend about $69,300,000 in Canada and this will be in addition to more than $30,000,000 already spent in this'eountry by this body for Canadian supplies to be shipped abroad under the UNRRA. This has been revealed in Ottawa. TRUCKS TO BE EXPORTED Since there are a great many Canadian businessmen, farmers and others who have been seeking new trucks in a bad way, it should be most interesting for them to be in­ formed now that Canada's automo­ bile plants will send 4,200 trucks to Australia this year for essential civ­ ilian use there, with the first ship­ ments said to be made probably with­ in the next couple of months or earlier.

PORT ROYAL HABITATIONPort Royal Habitation in NovaScotia will always be a place ofspecial interest, forming, as it does,a link with many of the “firstevents’’ in Canadian history. It washere that Champlain and his asso­ciates lived within the walls of thefirst enduring European settlementin the New World. Here was formed the first social club of America—the Order of the Good Time. It was here that the first Canadian drama was written and produced, the first wheat planted, the first garden grown, the first water-power mill erected, the first road constructed and the first Christian baptism performed—to mention only a few of the "first events” in Canada which had their origin at this historic spot. All of these “first events” took place at Port Royal on the shores of the Annapolis Basin in Nova Scotia al­ most thrce-and-a-half centuries ago. In 1939 a replica of the old Habi­ tation at Port Royal was erected by the* Canadian Government, and has now become a centre of tourist attraction in the Maritime Provinces. The original Habitation at Port Royal was destroyed in 1613 by an invading English force from Vir­ ginia who first looted everything of value. But largely from engravings left by Champlain together with his descriptions published in the “Voy­ ages” in 1613, as basis upon which to pattern reconstruction was estab­ lished and the work subsequenUycarried put as faithfully as practic­able.Port Royal Habitation is now re­garded as one of the most interest­ing of Canada’s National Historicparks and will continue to be a spec­ial attraction to students of earlyAmerican History In both Canadaand United States. Besides being amemorial to many “first events” inCanada, it is a fine example of the earliest European building traditions that were transplanted to the New World. Under the supervision of the National Parks Bureau at Ottawa, interesting period furnishings are being added yearly to the historic collection in the Habitation. —National Parks Bureau, Ottawa.

Serves By Kenneth Betsner, Preeident,Ontario Federation of Agriculture The farm community of tomor­ row must be made more attractive if Canadian agriculture is to hold on the farm the aggressive type of boys and girls which will maintain our agricultural economy on a par with other industries. Canadian agricultural income of >1,397 million in 1943 in compari­ son with $384 million in 1932 has put the farmer in a better financial position to make the farm commun­ ity of tomorrow more attractive and so to hold more of our intelli­ gent farm boys and girls. 1 am not saying, however, that the farm in­ come to 1948 is extraordinarily high, in view of the 40 per cent increase in production achieved since the war began. Nevertheless, farmers should en­ deavour to lay pway some of- this increased revenue in such sound investments as Victory Bonds. Indiv- . idual savings will make possible the tpurchase, in post-war years, of new farm equipment now being developed by technological research. For ex- ample, lighter farm machinery will (be made of durable alloys developed . during wartime research. Savings will make possible ..the repair and im- ] provement of farm buildings for jwhich labour and materials have . been impossible to procure during 1wartime. , Savings will make possible the ]electrification of rural communities, the erection of new buildings which ] will make working conditions on the , farm more efficient, soil conserve- I, tions (which must be practised by all farmers if Canadian agriculture ]is to maintain its present level of , production), the improvement of tfarm fences and general farm beau- (tification. Another use for money , now put into Victory Bonds will be the improvement of livestock and the use of properly graded seed. A post-war need which I would emphasize is the better education of our children. Last, but not least, of the post­ war uses of cash reserves I put ' travel and pleasure for the farm family. Many farmers, while their son's and daughters have been in the ] services, have been carrying on dur­ ing wartime with little or no help ' and with inadequate equipment. ; Mother and Dad have carried on the farm production, and, yes, in many instances have increased production. Surely these true patriots are en­ titled to a fair share of travel and leisure in the post-war era. Now let me repeat that the farm community of tomorrow must rest on price stability—fair prices for farm products and fair prices for what the farm must buy. I think it can be argued that the farmer by saving now is making a double con­ tribution to post-war stability (aside entirely from helping the war effort with the purchase of Bonds): First, farm buying power after the war will contribute to industrial pros­ perity and stimulate the domestic market for farm produce. Un lew farm purchasing power is. buoyant and. strong all industry will lose -one of its' greatest potential unsupplied markets and unemployment must result. There can be no isolationism in our post-war planning since our national success is dependent upon the economic partnership- of all groups and classes in solving our economic problems. Second, by saving now farmers are helping to avoid inflation-—and eventual deflation.

And before that was achieved inflation might have turneel into a crash which would, as usual, take farm prices to the bottom of the the trough—if price floors could not withstand the impact Farm prices lag behind when the price trend is upward, but they lead the van when the movement is deflation­ ary. Through price stability and proper marketing agencies at home and abroad the farm community of to­ morrow can become , the Utopia that our boys overseas - are fighting for today. harshness and self-centredness, butwe have managed at times to bringtogether the more promising of ourattributes to form a mass of good­will that is ready to lend aid to theless fortunate, and society has be­come strong in its desire to curblawlessness that is the outcome ofgreed and lust and selfishness.Organization has made us able touse our common virtues to greater advantage and bring about condi­ tions that are a vast improvement on those of other times, but we are still wandering in the wilderness of doubt and perplexity when it comes to knowing how to improve relation­ ships between nations. Perhaps we have never really tried to under­ stand other nations, any more than the individual tries to understand his fellows. Life to be a success must be lived fully and happily. It must be an adjusted'life; adjusted to one’s self and one’s environment, and adjusted too to all the different personalities about one. Strength of character lies not in dominating and domin­ eering, in having one’s way and forcibly pushing one’s opinions down another’s reluctant throat, but in formulating one's ideas after a period of real thought and reserving supreme right to . those opinions, while recognizing that another’s may be equally valid -with him; of desiring the right and doing it to the beft of one’s ability, despite the lure of the easy way and the rosy path. These things make for success in living and that success is never measured by ■ monetary standards. It is not heightened by financial suc­ cess, nor is it lessened by financial reverses. Only as we pour the, whole of ourselves into the art of living can we be said to have made a suc­ cess of living. WINGS OVER CANADA — By — Russell L.

Such airports may cost, >20,000, >30,000 or even >50,000 or more a year for maintenance alone. Those who know aviation in Can­ ada say that post-war private flying will develop faster in the prairie provinces than in any other part of the country due to weather condi­ tions, the ease of building landing facilities, etc. MRS. LOUIS SANDICK CLAIMED BY DEATH Already, ’tis reported, at least one civil servant of a prairie govern­ ment has made official application to his supervisors for a light, inex­ pensive plane to use in carrying out his. duties after the war. There are roughly 300 centres population in Canada with popula­ tions of 2000 or over. It's reasonable to expect that within a year or two after the war, most of these towns and cities will be served by airports of some kind. of SALFORD FARM FORUM When a man arrives at the partic­ ular goal he has set himself, he can look back and say, ’U am a success.” Undoubtedly he is, for in as much as he has reached the pinnacle of his ambitions he has succeeded. But has he really succeeded in living? Not always, for to suceed in living is to make life a song, a chant, a Te Deu« in praise of life itself; such a song A Walt Whitman sang. He loved lifW in all its variety; its pains as well aMits pleasures; its passions as well as* its contentments; its wanderings as well as its stay-at-home times; its strivings as well as its restings, its all-in-all and in everything. And because he was able to recall and record all life's moods, he has made a poem that will live, for it is-life In some places, of course, nothing is being done. But in the great maj­ ority, town fathers are extremely interested and are taking a highly progressive view. The Salford Farm Forum members met for the weekly meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Barnett with 35 present. The broadcast en­ titled "Is Co-operative Marketing Efficient?’’ introduces a new series, and after the broadcast, the mem­ bers divided into groups for discus­ sion. Up to the present, there have not been many local co-operatives and the members had not had much experience in marketing their pro­ duce in this way; nor did they feel the need for it just at present At the meeting was Mr. Byron Jenvey of Ingersoll, who spoke of some of his past experiences with co-oper- utives and his closing remark was-to advise us to learn all we can of this method of marketing, as it will be used more and more, as time goes on. Also present was Mr. George Nagle, who recently attended the Cheese Producers’ Convention in Toronto. Afterward the hostess. served lunch and the meeting was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem. What is the first thing that a town which is interested ip -post-war flying should do? • The answer to this is orettx. obvious to everyone—arouse the interest support of the citizens. IWhat comes next, after the decision to definitely build an airport has been made? The Department of Transport at Ottawa is responsible for licensing all airports which are to be used for commercial flying. Without the department’s blessing, no airport can receive a license for commercial flying. The wise town will co-operate with the department The,death of Mrs. Louis Sandick, (formerly Elizabeth Cobban), oc­ curred at the family residence, Lot 15, Concession 1, North Oxford, on Friday evening. She had not been in good health for some time. Mrs. Sandick who was in her 72nd year was born in Ingersoll, and for the past 35 years had made her home in North Oxford where she was well known and esteemed. She was a member of Beachville United Church and of the W. M. S. of that church. Left to mourn her passing are her husband and two sisters, Mrs. Maud McCartney. Los Angeles and Mrs. Bessie C. Page, New York. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the Fred S. Newmaft- -Funeral Home where service was conducted at two o’clock by Rev. E. S. Barton of Beachrille. The large attendance at the service and the profusion of beautiful floral tributes testified to the esteem in which Mrs. Sandick was held. The pallbearers were E. S. McLelland, E. J. Hacker.
