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.

I am in Holland at the present time with the British Army Staff. A letter from Sfajor J, C. Herbert to Mr. S. H.

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.

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.

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.

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 Sacred Heart team won the Inter-Church Hockey League pionship on Tuesday evening, tying the Baptista 3-3.

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.

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.

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 bad with the local swell-heads,”Barbara said and produced a sheetof paper from her desk. city limits, and callea the cops.It's the berries. Chief. The guy'sconfessed. They’ve got him andthe kid over at headquarters now 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 boost in the old pay envelope,Chief." "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. *T was afraid Tony would give itthe runaround, so I went over dur- ,,v - --------,------— „-------Ing the lunch hour and dug up what < Blake, some day you're going to Barbara surrendered.I could.” -------------------------" v---.i-.-i.,— He looked somewhat mollifiedwhen he walked out, and Barbaradrew a sigh of relief.

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.

Canada’s Wartime Wages Control Order has been attacked severely in Ottawa as a "most arbitrary decree’ and its rulings as being subject to 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.

Moreover, it has been estimated that the net gain to the Government would be about $40,000,000 on the $200,- 000,000 involved.

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 ember Remembrance Day services, .At the latter, a wreath was presented from the Chapters. '■^Christmas’ boxes were sent to ten. .veteran* at .Westminster Hospital, London, and a -donation of money gH’eh to tho Christmas- cheqr. boxes of .the King’s Daughters! Christmas cake was sent to anyone from the family of a Chapter member serving in the forces overseas. To carry on the work of the Chapter, we received donations from the local War Chari­ ties and each member gives a 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 eral members assist at -this clinic every five weeks. One of our members, Miss Hilda Simister, is head of the women’s div­ 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.

HUBAND DIES SAIADA CONCILIATION BOARD MAKES RULING IN I.M.C.-UNION DISPUTE Major William H. Huband, an officer of the Salvation Army for 30 years, passed away on Sunday, Feb. 11th, at his home in Fenlon Falls. He had served in Corps in Winnipeg, Regina, Medicine Hat, Ottawa and other centres. During the present war Major Huband was supervisor at various camps in connection with Salvation Army war services. Surviving are his widow and three daughters, Mrs. William Lewis, Gr?ce and Beatrice. A son, Flt.- Sergt.. Donald Huband R.C.A.F., was reported missing overseas some time ago. "Major Huband was stationed at Ingersoll in 1922-23 anjl was well known in Oxford County, coming here from Woodstock. Many local friends have pleasant memories of his stay here with Mrs. Huband and family. Ottawa, Feb. 16—Labor Minister Mitchell announced last night a con­ ciliation board investigating a dis­ pute between the Ingersoll Machine and Tool Company of Ingersoll, and the United Steelworkers of America (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. The union shop clause sought in a contract by the union would have required all employees to become members of the union within a speci- fled time. Under the check-off plan, union dues will be collected from the pay­ roll during the life of the agreement for those union members who mako a request. The board was under the chair­ manship of Dr. Alexander Bradley of Toronto, with J. J. Robinette of Toronto, representing the company and Oliver Hodges of London, repre­ senting the union.
