Russell T. Kelly
The regular meeting of the Ki
wanis Club was held on Thursday
evening with President L. A. West
cott in charge. The guest speaker
was Russell T. Kelly of Hamilton,
who gave an inspiring address on
“The World of To-morrow.”
His address was divided into four
well chosen heading* as the country
approaches the dawn of a new
world. Splendid accomplishments
could be attained if club members
and individuals would give firm sup
port to their churches, show a closer
spirit of co-operation to and within
the British Empire develop a national
unity by commercial means and fin
ally by developing new materials,
conveniences and processes.
Mr. Kelly said that if we are to
develop a new and better world, we
the people must become a nation of
"lifters” and not “leaner*”,
message was to those who would
assist in lifting the church co its
proper place in the nation, a closer
feeling to Britain, a spirit of unity
and a vision of those' thing* to- come.
Mr. Kelly paid tribute to the citi-
xens of Ingersoll when he said they
were doing a grand job in regard to
the blood donor clinic and he said
he hoped this fine effort would con
tinue, as the need is still very great.
Many of the boys and girls of the
armed services can truthfully say, “I
wouldn’t be here now if it had not
been for the generous contribution
by so many at these blood donor
clinics’’, the speaker said.
Mr. Kelly was introduced by Dr.
C. A. Osborn, who gave a short
resume of the activities of the
speaker, not the least of these being
the organizing of blood donor com
mittees. Mr. Alex. Yule expressed
the thanks of the club and the mus
ical numbers were under the direct
ion of Kiwanian Alan Horton.

The Kiwanis Club is in receipt of
letters from the following men over
seas with thanks for the Tribune and
cigarettes: W. Shelton, H. Johnson
and CapL H. B. Stevens. The latter
says in part: “Just before 1 left
England, the Ingersoll Tribune and
the cigarettes arrived. The former is
most interesting in that it gave me
some idea as to what is happening
in Ingersoll and where some of the
sendee personnel are located. The
cigarettes are always welcomed over
here. I am in Holland at the present
time with the British Army Staff.
A letter from Sfajor J, C. Herbert
to Mr. S. H. Underwood thanking
the town for a pen and pencil set he
hud received, speaks of the customs
of England and the enjoyment of
meeting Ingersoll men who were his
students at the Ingersoll Collegiate.
He tells too of the value of letters
to the morale of overseas troops. •

The death occurred on Wednesday
of last week of Captain Lloyd Rus
sell Smith, MjC., at Christie Street
Hospital, Toronto, where he had been
a patient for some months.
Born in Ingersoll, (Rusty), as he
r was affectionately called by his
countless friends, was in his 31st
5 year, and received his Public School
. and Collegiate education here. Prior
to enlisting'for active service he had
been a member of . “D” Company
. Oxford Rifles. He enlisted in the’ Essex Scottish Regiment at the out
break of hostilities. Before going
, overseas he was stationed at No. 12
Basic Training Centre as a sergeant
, instructor for almost three years. He
was sent as an instructor to the 30th
Reconnaissance Regiment shortly
after the Windsor unit was mobilized
and was in training in London. He
went with this unit to Dundurn when
he started his training as an officer
completing his training at Camp
Borden. He was transferred to the
Princess Louise Dragoon Guards
shortly after his arrival in England
and took part in some of the heaviest
fighting with the Eighth Army in
Sicily and Italy. It was while he
was in that campaign the tide of
battle turned in favor of the Allied
forces and Rommell’s Nazi forces
were driven from Africa. He then
went on with the invasion forces in
Italy. It was in action in Italy on
May 20 last year that CapL Smith '
received a severe bullet wound in the
spine that necessitated his being re
moved to hospital in England and
later sent home to Canada. He had 1
been overseas about 18 months. 1

On Friday evening, Flying Officer
Joe Connell of Sault Ste. Marie,
addressed a large gathering of pub
lic-spirited citizens at the United
Church in Thamesford. Gordon
Hogg was the chairman for the
evening and stated that a number of
men had banded together in the
hopes of forming a community ser
vice club and 'for this reason the
meeting had been called. The speaker
also related his remarks to the value
of such a club and the service w-hich
it might render in the community.
Several guests were present from
Kintore and over twenty of the Ing
ersoll Y’s Men shared in the social
evening.
The sing song was led by Ed.
Byerman, assisted by Ross Bigham
at the piano. Mr. Ed. Atchinson gave
a humorous reading on “Noah’s
Ark,”. Mr. John Wallace rendered
two vocal selections. A group of
eight Thamesford youths, who are
members of the Y’s Men’s Boys’
Band, also delighted the gathering
with a band selection.
F/O. Connell commended this ini
tial group of men on their spirit in
seeking the chance to serve the youth
in their community and felt that
there was the need of some form of
service in this district The speaker
stated that the club would find no
difficulty in deciding what to do to
care for the young people, "for you
will be surrounded with ideas and
will complain only about not bavin#
enough people to assist in the wori"” ’?
he said.
The speaker outlined different pro
grams which might be undertaken so
that youth _may be brought up in
the right ’atmosphere and assume
tj)p ’responsibilities of citizenship
tomorrow. He stated that no-girl or
boy. is to be stamped down because
of their race, color or creed, and
that it waa the duty of all to try and
serve and believe in Jesus Christ
and live in such a manner that life
may be a little more enjoyable.
F/O. Connell outlined some of
the work conducted by the Interna
tional Y’s Men’s Clubs, who are a
crusade organization of men honestly
trying td‘Jive better than they have
before and “acknowledge the duty
that accompanies everj- right.”
The speaker said: “This group can
do Something for your ’ community,
can change the life of your commun
ity so much that you will remember
this day the rest of your life. Something so great, so worth wliile will
develop, that men will say, blessed
is their name and that,children will
say-Jhey are glad to be'\born here.”
GdMon > Henry introduced the
speaker and Victor Wallace ex
pressed the thanks of air present.

By W. R. Reek, Deputy Minister of
Agriculture, Province of Ontario.
The cash income of Ontario farm
ers reached an all time high in
1944. In the previous year, the last
one for which figures are available,
it was $389,142,000. Of this total
$278,994,000 or 72%, was derived
from the sale of livestock and live
stock products. Dairy products, hogs,
cattle and poultry provided the
greatest volume of revnue and all
were‘produced in excess of domestic
requirements. As in the past, so in
the future conditions in word mar
kets will have a tremendous influence
on price. Consequently all effort*
should be directed towards the pro
duction of products that are suitable
for sale on any market in the world.
Live stock improvement, as the
words imply, involves the production
of a high quality product, but that is
not the whole story. The product
must be produced at a relatively low
cost, an achievement that can be
attained through the production of
more pounds of milk per cow, more
eggs per hen and more pounds of
meat with the same amount of feed.
Only healthy animals can be ex
pected to produce efficiently.
The most economical way of im
proving live stock is through the use
of better sires. The purchase of a
high class sire for exclusive use in a
small cattle herd is a costly pro
cedure. * During recent -years the
technique of artificial* insemination
hpa been improved and this practice
is now widely used in various States.
Last year an 'experimental unit was
organized in Ontario and results to
date justify the action taken. It can
now be stated that this method of
breeding offers the most economical
means of transmitting the blood of
outstanding sires. Moreover it pro
vides a basis‘for improving, all cattle
in ‘a given area, if the individual
farmers within the community sup
port the^pvegranqmb.
' Hogs can also ’be improved through’

the use of better sires. The ad
vanced registry policy for swine has
identified the strains capable of pro
ducing large litters of high quality
pigs at relatively low feed costs.
These strains can make Canadian
bacon famous the world over.
Ontario's poultry has been greatly
improved in the past ten years as a
result of inspection and control ex
ercised over flocks supplying eggs to
hatcheries. Most pullets offered for
sale to-day possess the charatceris-
tics necessary for producing 200 or
more eggs annually because of good
feeding and management.
Perhaps Ontario’s most valuable
and most neglected* crop is pasture.
It provides the cheapest feed used
in the production of meat and milk.
Last year the Ontario Department
of Agriculture launched an exten
sive programme of demonstration
pasture plots for the purpose, of as
certaining the best mixture and the
most suitable methods of seeding.
The results have been most gratify
ing but will be of little value unless
given wider application in 1945 and
after.—
Feed relatively rich in protein is
necessary for balancing any Jive
stock ration. Milkin# cows, hogs and
poultry require more of this ingred
ient than beef cattle. Protein is
usually expensive so feeding costs
can be reduced by increasing the
production of nitrogenous crops on
the home farm. The volume of avail
able protein can be increased by
growing more alfalfa and harvesting
it earlier, by producing sgme soy
beans and by adding a few-paas to
mixed grain mixtures. Suitable
rations have been outlined in Ontario
bulletins and should be used as’
guides in the preparation of balanced
diet*. •
' In any . live stock improvement
programme health of Animals should
occupy number one position. Ar the
present time about half the cattle in
the province have been tested for
tuberculosis under some federal‘plan
and livestock owners in the rest of
the province are anxiously awaiting
tests. Bangs disease is being tackled
by individual breeders and farmers.
Some have adopted the blood test
and slaughter plan while others are
using the calfhood vaccination
method. Mastitis is causing dairymen
much concern and unfortunately no
effective cure has been devised. The
spread of the disease can be re
duced by good dairy husbandry and
the application of sound sanitary
practices. Parasites cause- high
annual losses in our hog, sheep and
poultry herds and flocks. Infectious
diseases play havoc with winter far
rowed litters of swine. Research and
experimental work is being con
ducted at the Ontario Veterinary
College with a view to developing
effective treatments for these dis
eases.
In the final analysis “an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure”,
and if practised systematically will
go-a long way towards lowering the
cost of producing live stock and live
stock products. But the application
of good live stock mangement costs
money. So 'many farmers planning
for* postwar improvements are buy
ing Victory Bonds and setting them
aside for the yrovision of capital
later. Then they will be able to make
those improvements they can’t make
now because of material and labour
shortages.

• Mr. and Mrs. Percy L. Smith were
in Toronto last week to meet their
daughter-in-law, Mrs. George C-
Smith, who arrived from England
with a group of war brides.
Previous to her marriage to F1L-
Lieutenant Smith last autumn, Mrs.
Smith, the former Joan Eagle, of
Tollerton, had served for three years
with the Women’s Air Force. Com
ing from a war-time England, she
finds the quantities of all kinds of

IS particular emergency—serious ___ _________in__ _a_ _s_m_a_l_l _O__ntario'to^L
But it might have been anywhere. In time* of crisis,
operators and other telephone workers have a way of
nsing to th? occasion. That is part of the Bell
tradition. And- it is as tru^today a* it ever was, eventhough the extreme demands of war have taxed to the
utmost our resources in both equipment and worker*.
Live* can depend; on prompt and efficient tnfophrw
aerviee. Bell people never forget that fact.
Reports and requests to the Ingersoll Citizens* Rehabilitation Committee indicate that the problem ofhousing for returning members ofthe armed services and their families,will be acute in Ingersoll. Probably
the most serious difficulty the men
will be facing in this one of finding
comfortable, decent living quarters
and its successful solution will de
pend largely on the co-operation and
whole-hearted assistance of citizens
generally.
The committee finds that there
are in Ingersoll, a considerable
number of houses and apartments
that are vacant but that could be
made habitable and a source of in
come for landlords, if the necessary
work was done to put them to use.
Most of the returning men expect
and hope to make Ingersoll their
home once more and the citizens
who have been holding the home
front will surely desire that every
effort is made to see that the boys
are not disappointed and forced to
seek homes elsewhere.
A survey will be launched shortly
to determine what accommodation
can be secured and what properties
now in disuse, may be made avail
able. In the meantime, the Citizens’
Committee will appreciate very much
the.listing with Mr. Leigh Snider,
Rehabilitation Secretary, of any pre
sent or future accommodation for
returning service men.
Mayor Charles W. Riley and the
council have expressed themselves as
ready and willing to assist, recogniz
ing the desirability of the return to
Ingersoll’s population of the. men
and women now away. The work of
the local Red Cross, the War Chari
ties, the Legion, the Churches and
all our organizations towards win
ning th war, and remembering our
fighting men, has been magnificent
and the committee feels that this
very necessary problem of keeping
our men when they return will also
be carried through successfully.

In all parts of Ontario, fromWindsor to Ottawa, from Hamiltonto Kirkland 'Lake, young musiciansare hard at work practising for theSecond Annual Musical Festival,
sponsored by the five Kiwanis Clubs
of Greater Toronto. From February
19th to March 3rd, the youngsters
will compete in Toronto for the
scholarships, trophies, awards and
certificates of merit that are being
offered to aspiring vocalists and in
strumentalists in the hope of fur
thering musical appreciation and
performance.
More than 9,000 boys and girls
will participate which represents
twice last year’s figure, according to
Harold G. Browne, Chairman of the
Publicity Committee. The 1,800 sep
arate entries have been received
from a much larger territory than
last year too, he points out, insur
ing two most successful weeks.
‘Elimination will take place morn
ing, afternoon and evening, during
festival and a final concert'of win-,
ners planned for March 9 in Massey
Hall. Three prominent musicians
have been named adjudicators. They
are J. Frederic Staton, Mus Doc.,
Chesterfield, England; Dr. Ernesto
Vinci, Principal, Halifax Conserva
tory Music; Max Pirani, Music Pro
fessor at the University of Western
Ontario.
They will award the 33,350 in
scholarships to competitors who
show moskypromise of future success
musically. These scholarships are all
in the form of tuition—no cash will
be given—so that the award will be
used for the purpose it was intended.
Moreover, a scholarship winner need
not be a first prize winner. Cash
prizes totalling 3500 will be given
only to choirs, and Kiwanis shields
will be awarded to first prize winners in all choral, band and orchestra classes. Certificates will be givenin all classes to those who place first,second and third.Besides encouraging music appreciation, the Kiwanis hope that thepractical help of the scholarshipsmay aid some of the deservingyoung musicians to rise to greatness.They have still another aim too, Mr.
Browne admits, pointing out that
boys and girls with a part-time
hobby such as playing a musical in
strument are not likely to end up in
the juvenile court.
John Petrie, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon Petrie, Ingersoll, is entered
in two classes for the cornet. John,
who is a member of the Ingersoll
Y’s Men’s Club Boys’ Band, has
shown remarkable ability during the
short time he has been studying and
will be a splendid representative of
the talented group of young people
who are members of the band.
All of these hot springs have been
developed for public use by the
construction of bath-houses and
swimming pools and provide one of
the main attractions in the parks in
which they are situated. To the
place once shunned by superstitious
Indians now come visitors by the
thousands seeking health and pleas
ure''in an alpine setting unique in
its splendour and inspiring in its
beauty. Thus-these secret subterran
ean laboratories of nature are being
turned to good use for the benefit
and enjoyment of Canadians and
their friends from other lands.
Teacher—“Now, can anyone give
me a sentence using the word,

Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB 22, 1945CHAPTER I SALFORDChamp Fields, managing editorand part owner of the WesthavenClarion, was in a temper and hewanted the world to take notice. Itwas part of Barbara West's job tobear with the chiefs tantrums. TheClarion was pretty small-townish inmany ways. Barbara covered several unimportant departments onthe sheet and also acted as secretary to the managing editor whennecessary."I have a limit,” he announcedwith great bitterness, "and TonyBlake has reached it" He glared
at Barbara. She was a daughterof a newspaper man and ChampFields had given her her first job.He had in his gruff way taken herunder his wing after her father'sdeath. "I realize I've said that before about Tony,” he acknowledged,
"but this time I mean it" \
She was afraid he did mean it
Her hand trembled slightly as sheinserted a fresh sheet of paper inher machine. If only Tony weren'tso irresponsible, she thought, or ifhe were less lovable. But Tony wasboth irresponsible and lovable, and
Barbara could not bear to think ofhis being discharged just when he
was beginning to make good. "Idon’t blame you for being exasperated.” she said, trying to soundsoothing. "Tony can be the mostexasperating person on earth, buthe—” her color deepened “—he's a
peach of a reporter when he worksat it."
“It’s ten minutes to the deadline, and where la he?”
At that moment Champ Fields
became aware of what Barbara
had noticed the moment before.It was past the time for the paperto go to press, but the building wasnot shaking as it should have beenwith the thunder of the presses anddown the hall the city room seemed
to be in the throes of some internalconvulsion.“You’ve held up the afternoonedition because you’re late with the
a table for two.”"Suits me,” she said coolly. "Ihave to eat.” <Tony was waiting downstairswhen Barbara came out of thebuilding. He was humming underhis breath, "When did you leave
heaven?” He smiled at her and
went on humming it after he tookher arm. His touch made Barbara’s heart skip a beat Sheturned Instinctively toward the
"When he works at it, the devilf"snapped Champ Fields, eyeing theoffice clock. "It’s ten minutes tothe deadline, and where is he?”Barbara smiled feebly. "Knowing Tony, I’d hate to have toguess.”
"I send him out on a specialassignment. He's to cover theboard meeting of the local Founders' Society. I explain they are abunch of tiresome busybodies butthey control the advertising in this
town. So what does he do? Go on
and tell me. What docs that wildArab do?”Barbara shook her head. Shewas slight, with short smooth black
hair and very blue, very straight
forward eyes. She was 22 and hadbeen supporting herself for threeyears. She liked to think that shewas a hard-boiled businesswoman.She was. about everything except
board meeting story 1" thunderedChamp Fields. "I'll boil you inoil for this.”
"Didn’t I tell you?" interruptedTony, winking at Barbara. "I tookmyself off the board meetingyarn.”"You took yourself offl” roaredChamp Fields in a bedeviled VBtce.Tony laughed. "You’re going tolove this. Chief. But we’ve got to
work fast We ought to have theextra on the street in fifteen minutes. All about local reporter recognizing the Kelly kidnaper on thestreet this afternoon and rescuingthe child and everything.”
Champ Fields clutched bis brow.
"Have you gone crazy?”
"Nope,” said Tony. ”1 did rec-ognize the Kelly child this after-noop. She was in a car with abearded man. I took after themIn my little ol' flivver, trackedthem to a trailer camp outside the
small, shabby cafe across the streetwhere the newspaper crowd hung
out,'but Tony steered her to hisbattered car.,."We’re dining in style. MissWest,” he announced. "Hadn’t youheard? The Kelly family feels sodarned grateful, it insists on mak
ing me a little present. Sort of re
ward money, you know. Five hundred dollars, if you like your figures exact.”"I’ve had to be exact about figures,” said Barbara, looking a little severe. “I've also had to learnthe value of money. In case you
haven’t been informed, five hundred dollars will stretch only sofar.”"So what, sugar?” inquired Tdny,helping her into his dilapidatedroadster.
"Why don’t you pay your debts,
Tony, and get even for a change?"
Tony Blake. It frightened her howfrom the first she had been unable to be the least hard-boiledabout Tony. She could merely pretend to be.T m afraid he’s let you down onthis,” she admitted, her eyes also
upon the clock. “It was a mistaketo put Tony on the board meeting.He .hates small-time assignments."“I’m getting out a newspaper,not running a bureau for temperamental prima donnas,-" said Champ
Fields in an ominous voice. "Ev
ery man and woman at that meet
ing expects to see his or her namein the altemoon edition. The cityeditor is holding the space; thecity room is tearing its hair. Mylife won’t be worth living for aweek."
“I wouldn't like to see you get in

and have sent for her folks. The
city ed’s putting everybody on thestory ”
"My God!” mumbled ChampFields, staggering to his feet. “It'sthe biggest story this town has seensince the last war.”For the next hour pandemonium
reigned at the Clarion offices. Nobody took time for a deep breathuntil tbe extras were on the streetand then, holding his head in hishands, the managing editor collapsed in his desk chair and staredmorosely at Tony Blake who was
lounging in the doorway, grinning
over his cigarette. “You thinkyou've got me where the hair Isshort, don’t you?'.’ growled Fields."More or less,” admitted Tony.""Looks as if I should rate a small
asked Barbara.Tony was the idolized only son ofa widowed mother who lived in asmall town halfway between West-haven and New York. Tony’s father had been tparried before. Therewas a spinster daughter by this
marriage, named Lily, and Mrs.Blake had an eighteen-year-olddaughter of her own. t However, sofar as Barbara could find out. nobody counted with his mother except Tony. She had a small Income. hardly adequate for her
needs, but she had lent Tony themoney to go through Columbia' University at considerable sacrifice toherself."You could at least pay yourmother part of what you owe'her.”said Barbara. .Tony grinned. “Mums doesn't
care if I never pay her. sugar.”“Just the same,” she insisted,“you should do it.”Tony laughed. "Come on. kid.This is a celebration. Snap out ofit You’ve got the healthiest con
science I ever met, but forget it
tonight We're out to have fun andI mean,to see you have it".......J .i t wasbreathtaking just to be in his arms."Did I remember to teU you Iadore you?” sang .Tony, his lips
against Barbara's check. 'That was
swell.” said Tony when the musicended. "Have I ever told you. MissWest, that you’re not bad at trip-ping the light fantastic?”"You'D get by yourself in a pinch.Mr. Blake,” said Barbara, tryingto match his breeziness.
Tony pulled out her chair tor her.. Barbara looked bored. “Yes, isn’t He stood leaning over it staringit?” shpftsked, going right bn with down at her with at smile. Barbara

"AU right, all right,” concededFields wearily. "I fired you. sonow I’ll hire you back at a flve-dollar raise. Only mark my words.
"What's this?" demanded ChampFields with a suspicious scowl."It's the board meeting story,”Barbara, explained, her cheeks hot.

He looked somewhat mollifiedwhen he walked out, and Barbaradrew a sigh of relief.
Champ Fields* face was not reassuring when he returned. “That’sthat," he snapped, "but don’t think•you’ve saved Blake. The minute Icatch' sight of that young galoot,>. hb’s fired; Get it? Fired!”
"Yles, Mr. Fields," sighed Bar-

Barbara flushed painfully. ’Therei isn’t anything between Tony andme. He kids me when he’s in theoffice, just as he kids all the girls.It doesn't mean anything to him."
"He's a bom ladles* man,”
growlqd Champ Fields, "and it’snot his fault altogether, but that’snot the point. You're too nice akid to get hurt, and if you keep onfooling with Tony Blake, you’regoing to get hurt, and plenty.”Barbara sighed. As if she hadn’t

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB 22, 1945OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK— By Dean WiUon QUEEN OF KENORA CARNIVALPOLITICAL PROGNOSTICSThere are several unusually “hot”events in the making backstage inOttawa at this moment and theirgeneral murmuring sound can beheard now since the political pot isbeginning to boil over and it is replete with dangerous situations.While the latest by-election reversehas been a severe disruptive forceimpregnated with political dynamitefor the Federal Government, yet thisalone has not been the principal
cause for these extremely “hot” de
velopments. As a matter of fact,
ever since the present Administra
tion came into power in the last
general election of March 26, 1940,
there have been no less than IS by
elections, with the Government winning eight, the C.C.F. four,\he Pro
gressive-Conservatives three, and one
each by the Labor-Progressives, Bloc
Populaire and an independent can
didate.
In other words, it is possible that
the real "hot” developments and
causes for severe disruptions in
Ottawa, it is whispered may be
traceable to other political stories or
directions where there are many
questions being asked at this time,
with the old saying being applicable
that “where there is smoke there is
fire."
Why is it that stories of Premier
Mackenzie King’s possible retirement
had preceded the resignation of Col.
J. L. Ralston as Canada’s Minister of
National Defence in November of
1944, when he was being mentioned
in whispers as a possible successor
to the Prime Minister as a leader of
the Liberal Party? Whx are these
strange stories recurringJpow of the
Prime Minister’s possible retirement,though this has been emphaticallydenied in Ottawa, just as Col. J. L.Ralston’s political stock seems to berising? Why, it is asked, were notpresent more Ministers in the lastimportant by-election in order tohelp Premier King’s effort to getGeneral McNaughton elected intoParliament? During this time whencertain ministers could have spokenin the byelection or otherwise takenpart in the campaign, why were theyelsewhere, such as Hon. Humphrey
Mitchell speaking to a Rotary Club
in Windsor on Jan. 3, Hon. J. L.
llsley being in Hamilton on Jan. 15
as well as afterwards in Winnipeg
and Milton, Hon. J. G. Gardiner
addressing a meeting in Regina on
Jan. 17 and being there several days
afterwards, Hon. B. Claxton being
in Toronto and Kitchener on Jan. 22
as well as Charlottetown on Feb. 1
and Hon. C. D. Howe being in
Nassau and Jamaica in regard to a
bauxite mission? These questions
are being asked along Parliament
Hill at the present and it is held that
these are impregnated more with real
political dynamite about possible fu
ture political developments than the
reverse itself in the last single by
election, particularly since the Gov
ernment had stressed clearly and
openly that the present Administra
tion's record as a whole was not
being put to test in this one of 18
by-elections held during,_the life of
the present Administration in the
capital.

no appeal "infringing on one of the
fundamental democratic principles.”
This Wartime Wages Control Order
came into existence by Order-In-
Council P.C. 9384 and defined wage
rates as well as “froze" them at cer
tain levels, authorising the creation
of a board of four members' repre
senting the Government, two the
public, one member the employers
and one labor. However, the Minister
of Labor, Hon. Humphrey Mitchell,
has'come forth with a strong defence
of thp Order and condemnation of
its critics, showing that the national
board can hear appeals from decis
ions of the nine Regional War Labor
Boards, and when the original hear
ing is held by the national board, the
board’s decision “may later be re
viewed by that board itself." He has
declared in Ottawa that "wage con
trol has been regarded as non-polit>
leal as a necessary wartime economic
measure carried through in the in
terests of all Canadians”, insisting
that wage control has been deemed
essential in order that Canada would
be able to get the benefits of price
control in general. “Actually the
right of appeal under wage control
is much more liberal than in the case
of ordinary court actions for wage
cases con be always re-opened later
—which is not the case with final
decisions in the regular courts” said
said the Minister of Labor.

the strength of this Department
stands at this moment at almost six

EXCELLENT REPORTS
In the past year the Norsworthy

encouraging reports as shown by the

ports:
During the year just closed, nine
meetings were held with an average
attendance of 23; two new members
joined the Chapter, membership 60.
We have carried on the general
activities by means of a tag day in
May for the milk fund and a don
ation of two dollars from each mem
ber in September for other pur
poses. Milk was given at Princess
Elizabeth School from December 1
until Easter and a donation of two
dollars was given to the baby clinic.
Donations were made to the endow
ment fund, coronation bursary, Lucy
Morrison Memorial, Navy League
Nasik Hospital, (India); Susie
Sorabje Memorial and the blanket
fund. From the sale of used stamps,
a donation was made to the Queen’s
Hospital, England. For the King/s
birthday, the chapter was asked to
provide speakers at the local schools
and Mrs. C. K. Long and Mrs. Hazel
Beattie addressed the pupils. Several
members assisted at a tag day for
the CJ4.I.B.
The topic committee provided in
teresting readings during the year
and were fortunate in having splen
did reports given by Mrs. Cryder-
man for the provincial convention
and Mrs. J. Baxter for the national
convention. Three services were
attended by members during the
year: In February, the day of prayer
services, in September, memorial
services by the Legion and in Nov

.At the latter, a wreath was presented
from the Chapters.
'■^Christmas’ boxes were sent to ten.

gH’eh to tho Christmas- cheqr. boxes

the work of the Chapter, we received
donations from the local War Chari

monthly contribution. Our regent,
Mrs. T. D. Maitland has assisted.and
been in charge of the kitchen and
dining-room of the blood donor clinic
eVer since it was organized and sev

ision of the Rehabilitation Commit
tee and our regent, Mrs. Maitland
represents the Chapter on this com
mittee. Birthday boxes have been
sent the sailors on our adopted ship
and at Christmas time a special box
was sent the whole crew. We are
very proud of the work of our war
service committee and could only
wish that each member felt the
same responsibility and the same re
lentless urge to help with the sew
ing, knitting and quilting.
Mrs. A. M. Yule, the war service
convener reports: "As convener of
this department for the Norsworthy
Chapter, may I say thank you again
for the magnificent work that has
been done by members and friends.
Your committees in this war work
department, knitting, cutting, Red
Cross, adopted ship, service libraries,
have done their work faithfully and
well. It has been a joy to be their
convener and to be able to thank
them personally from the. floor.
Without your exceptional team
work, Norsworthy Chapter could not
present such a fine report. We are
all war'weary, mentally and physic
ally, but let us not falter as victory
looms in sight. Perhaps another year
and.our program will be changed and
we will be able to help the sufferers
of Europe to see the light of a new
day.

(C.I.O.), has submitted a unanimous
report recommending introduction of
a check off of union dues and with
drawal by the union of a request for
a union shop.
