Fine Attendance at
Baptist Men’s Club for
Missionary Address
The regular monthly supper meet
ing of the Men’s Club of the First
Baptist Church, was held in Friday
evening. There was a good turnout
of members and of representatives of
other churches of the town. About
100 sat down to the sumptuous re
past served by the girls of the
B.Y.P.U., whe were assisted by the
ladies of the congregation.
The principal speaker for the
evening was Rev. Eric Quirk of Co-
canada, India, a recently returned
missionary on furlough. He was in
troduced by Rev. G. A. McLean
and the meeting was presided over
by Mr. Ernest Rowland, president
of the club.
Mr Quirk gave some very interest
ing experiences during his discourse
which enlightened his listeners as to
the difficulties and success that were
encountered in India. One of the
incidents in connection with the pre
ent war, was told of the action of
the three-man crew of a Lancaster
bomber who discovered a fleet of
Japanese vessels approaching Ceylon
harbor. They were able to send a
wireless warning in time to allow
for the dispersion of the Allied ship
ping which crowded the harbor be
fore this plane was shot down. They
were known as the “Saviors of
Ceylon.”
Mr. Quirk took for his subject,
“The place of prayer in the work
of missions, basing his statement on
the passage, "If ye shall ask any
thing in My Name I will give it you”.
In India for 22 years, Mr. Quirk
on hi* last term, which is ordinarily
■even years, requested to be allowed
to remain there because of the war.
He intends to return after his fur
lough. In addition to the work as
head of the McLaurin High and Nor
mal School in Cocanada, with 1390
pupils and 50 teachers, he has charge
of the Cocanada station, which in
clude* 50 surrounding fields.
During the latter part of the pre
sent term he was asked to become
an air-warden and later chief air
warden and given a government com
mission. He also received the K.I.H.
medal from King George for con
spicuous service to the Indian people.
Following the address which
was full of thrilling incidents, a
vote of. thanks was tendered the
speaker by Mr. F. W. Waters, on
behalf of the gathering.

The Ingersoll Y’s Men’s ------
Band competed in the Musical Fes
tival at Toronto on Saturday. The
affair sponsored by the five Kiwanis
Clubs of greater Toronto, was held
in the Eaton auditorium.
Three bands competed in the
class, Barrie Collegiate Band, Inger
soll Y’s Men’s Boys’ Band and Elora
Boys’ and Girls’ Band. The adjudi
cators gave the standings as they
appeared. Barrie band has been in
operation for a long period of years
and is supported by the Board of
Eduation. They took the first place
with 90 points winning the shield.
Ingersoll came second with 85 points
and the membership was highly
commended by the adjudicator for
their work.
The Ingersoll Band is composed of
lads from 8 to 18 years of age and
the experience of the first place
band played an important part in
their tonal qualities.
The Elora Band in third place
were given 71 points. The latter two
bands have the same bandmaster,
Mr. Robinson of 'London, who has
trained and brought the boys up to
their present status. This is the first
time the Ingersoll Band has been
entered in a competition and the re
sult is considered to be very gratify
ing by members of the Y’s Men’s
Club. The test piece was "Martha”,
by Flotow.
The boys were taken to Toronto
by automobiles on Saturday in time
to enjoy the Junior Hockey playoffs
at Maple Leaf Gardens. Cars were
supplied by members of the Y’s
Men’s Club and other public spirited
citizens for the trip.
Master John Petrie was entered
in the cornet solo class under 15
years and received 80 points for his
rendition of “Columbine”, by Van-
dercook and in the class under 18
years he was awarded 81 points on
his interpretation of “Morning
Glory” by Vandercook. He also took
the solo in the band's test piece dur
ing the evening. For his work he was
given some very encouraging re
marks by the adjudicators and while
not being placed among the first
three in. either class he was com
peting against boys of much more ex
perience and his performance as a
boy of 9 years of age against boys
twice his age was highly commended.
His points in both classes are very
gratifying especially to those who
have been following John’s advance
ment as a cdrnetlst.
PARTY FOR DUTCH
CHILDREN DESCRIBED
IN RECENT LETTER
An interesting item appearing re
cently in a Chatham paper, refers
to a St Nicolas Day party given for
some two hundred Dutch children
by axgroup of Canadian airmen. This
party was described in a Ifetter from
Squadron Leader Handley Perkins to
his mother. Sqd. Lrd. Perkins is the
elder son of Mrs. R. J. M. Perkins
and the late Canon Perkins, formerly
of Ingersoll, and the letter will be
of interest to many here:
“My Dear Mother—•! have just
returned from a wonderful party.
This afternoon we entertained 250
Dutch children. This is the eve of
St. Nicolas Day, when they give gifts
in Holland as we do at Christmas.
St Nicolas, (a Dutchman we engaged
for the purpose), arrived by airplane
to the joy of these Dutch boys and
girls who nearly went crazy. In the
airmen’s mess, a long, low hut, we
gave them a lunch of sandwiches
and cakes specially made for the
occasion. We had foregone our mar
garine for some days so they could
be made. There were oranges which
the pilots gave up out of their spec
ial rations, lots of chocolate bars,
contributed by us all, movies of
Mickey Mouse, a magician, an
orchestra and a toy for each child,
which we purchased in Belgium.
What a party. It was grand and
we’re having another one in the offi
cers’ mess tomorrow. I never have
seen such happy children. Most of
the younger ones had never had any
thing like it before. The press,
radio and photographers were there,
so you may see or hear something of
al) this in Canada—from a forward
Canadian typhoon wing.”
In his description of the second
party, Sqd. Ldr. Perkins writes:
Eight of the children had small flags
which were made of paper with a
red maple leaf encircled by a blue
circle painted on a white back
ground and they recited a poem of
thanks to the airmen.” One of the
flags was presented to him and he
sent this souvenir home to hl*
mother.

The death recently of William iHenry McCardell, aged 83, one of jthe old-timers in Banff, Alberta, ,recalls the discovery of the hot min- -erul springs which has done much <to spread the fame of Banff through- ;out the world. iMcCardell first visited the Cave (and Basin Springs in November,1883, and the Upper Hot Springsthe following year. The presence of
hot springs in the neighborhood ofBanff was, however, noted long be
fore this by missionaries, explorers,
fur traders and trappers, but Mc
Cardell and his partners apparently
were the first to realize the thera
peutic possibilities of these springs
and to begin planning for their de
velopment and ase.
The occurrence of hot springs issu
ing from the earth will always be
a matter of some mystery and fas
cination. There are, of course, scien
tific explanations for this phenom
enon. One is that the water in many
hot springs is of surface origin, gqjts
into the ground and rocks in various
ways, is heated by rocks at some
depth, and finally escapes back to
the surface. Another is that many
hot springs have their origin in .the
magma or hot liquid strata beneath
the earth’s crust and encounter the
light of day for the first time upon
reaching the surface. In the case of
the hot springs at Banff, it is con
sidered that these were created by
chemical action, that is, by the ox
idation of iron pyrites forming,
sulphuric acid (H2SO4). Quantities
of these iron pyrites exist in Sulphur
Mountain and show on the exposed
parts along its eastern side. It would
appear the perpetual decomposition
of the iron pyrites is taking place on
a scale sufficient to maintain the
temperature of the water at its
present level.
Regardless of scientific explan
ations, visitors to the hot mineral
springs of Banff are apt to let their
imagination weave legends around
the origin of these hot streams and
the purpose for which they were
created. No doubt the Indians had
many such legends. According to
one, the Cree Indians gave these
springs a wide berth. They had seen
the hot water Issuing from the foot
of the mountain, vapour rising from
the hole at the top of the cave and
had smelled the sulphurous odour.
To them it was the abode of evil
spirits who sallied forth at night
1 and held high revelry on the plateau
above. But the Stoney Indians who
■ later occupied the region must have
learned something of the medicinal
value of the springs for they were
making use of them long before the
first white men penetrated the moun
tain barrier.
Today, what once might have
been regarded by some superstitious
Indians as a place of evil spirits, has
become the rendezvous of “fairies”
and “water nymphs"—the modem
type in brightly coloured ba^TfiB
suits. Their merriment and glee
enliven the scene which is trans
formed into a gay fairyland of lights
and laughter and sparkling beauty.
During^the war the Hot. mineral
springs at Banff have been used ex
tensively by members of the Armed
Forces Airmen from jnapy parts of
the Commonwealth and Empire
stationed at airfields in Alberta, have
spent most of their leave periods in
the national parks and have been
enthusiastic patrons of the baths.
While- there has been a considerable
decrease in visitors to Banff NationalPark as a result of wartime restrictions on travel, the actual number ofvisitors to the hot mineral springsshows an increase. The bathing facilities at the Upper Hot Springs wereused by 69,095 persons in the fiscalyear ended March 31, 1944, an increase of 20,647 over the previousyear and the Cave and Basin Springsrecorded 49,561 visitors, an increaseof 6,137 over the previous figures.It was the discovery of the hotmineral springs at Banff that provided the inspiration for the
pstablishment of Canada’s present
national parks system. The compar
atively small area of ten square
miles around these hot springs set
aside for public use in 1885 was the
beginning of a chain of national
parks which now stretches from the
Selkirk Mountains in British Colum
bia to the Atlantic seaboard in Nova
Scotia.
Hot mineral springs also occur in
two of Canada’s other national parks
in the Rockies and Selkirks. The
Miette Hot Springs in Jasper
National Park, Alberta, have a tem-
perature of 126*F, but the water in .the pool is kept around 100’F., and1the temperature of Radium HotSprings in Kootenay National Park,British Columbia, is 114 *F. Thiscompares with a temperature of92* of the Cave and Basin Springsand 112 *F. in Upper Hot Springs atBanff.SALFORDMr, __________ _____were visitors in Norwich on Tuesdayat the home of their daughter, Mrs.Erwood Hosack and Mr Hosack.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1945 Se iMOUNT ELGIN Hints on FashioniOf Interest to Women
For Prettier, Shapelier Legs
A pretty pair of legs has helped
more than one gal on the way to
fame and fortune—here are a few
tips that will help correct the com
monest leg faults. First, to round
out too-slender calves—stand up
straight, hands on hips, heels to
gether toes out. Now raise up on
toes, then bend,knees, turning them
out as you descend. Then rise to orig
inal position. This exercise, faith
fully repeated 10 or 12 times daily
•does wonders in rbunding out the
ahape of the calf. Are your legs a
little too plump? Lie flat on the
floor, placing hands on the small of
the back. Now raise legs in the air,
keeping them as straight as possible.
Drop your right leg tb the floor,
then raise back to original posi
tion. Repeat this exercise with right
and left leg alternately until you
feel a real pull on the leg muscles.
To remove blotches and small flesh
bumps which show through sheer
stockings, use a medium-hard brush
or rough wash cloth, and working up
good whipped cream lather with
your favourite complexion soap,
scrub vigorously. A little persistence
here quickly brings back the satiny-
smooth texture you’re after. Re
member, heavy legs look pleasantly
slimmer in dark or dusky stockings.
Seamless stockings add to a too-thin
leg. Slightly bow legs can be made
to look straighter if the seams are
on the inside of each leg—nearer the
calf; while knock-knees are camou
flaged by the reverse idea, anchoring
the seams nearer the outside of the
legs.
tain rods, and run a second rod
through the bottom hem Dry away
from strong sun to prevent fading;
if necessary press curtains lightly
with a warm, not a hot iron.
To Soften Chapped Hand*
Grandma did it—and so can you!
To whiten and soften chapped
hands, first work up a good whipped
cream lather with your favourite
complexion soap. Useing a medium-
hard nail brush, scrub thoroughly.
Then add 3 tablespoonsful of vinegar
to a basin of clear, lukewarm water
and soak your hands for 3 or 4
minutes. The “vinegar rinse" not
only soften that chapped film, but
acts as a hand bleach as well.
For Clear, Sparkling Glassware
What housewife doesn’t want to
make dull, dingy glassware sparkle
like new! Here's a simple routine
that will remove that dingy film
from fine glassware. First, carefully
wipe the glasses inside and out with
ar cloth wrung out in vinegar. Then
one nt a time, wash each glass in
warm water and rich, grease-dissolv
ing suds Rinse, in clear water,.the
same temperature as the suds. Dry
with a soft towel—and to polish-^-
use crumpled tissue paper. This
gives your glassware-that final pro
fessional sparkle.

How To Wash Fine Curtains
Why not try washing curtains
yourself . . . and tint them if they
show up faded? Curtains that are
exposed constantly to strong light,
dirt, fumes and moisture, wear out
sooner if they're allowed to become
too soiled. First, shake curtains to
rid them of loose dust. Coloured cur
tains should be washed quickly—
never soaked—as this ' may cause
streaking. Dip your fine rayon cur
tains in lukewarm water and plenty
of mild, safe suds. If necessary, give
them a second Budsing. Then rinse
in water of the same temperature.
Squeeze out moisture gently. Next,
lay curtains flat on a Turkish towel
and pat out excess moisture with
another towel. Last to make sure
curtains will hang perfectly even,
place them while still damp on cur

Toronto—Continuation of the pre-; sent freedom from taxation enjoyedI by consumer co-operatives would be* grossly unfair not only to competing■ retail merchants but to all other income taxpayers and would deprivei Canada of tax revenue to which it isi justly entitled, according to a brief: presented here recently by the Can-• adian Retail Federation to the Royal
■ Commission now investigating tax
ation of co-operatives.
Representing the views of the
i 15,000 members of the Retail Mer
chants’ Asociation of Canada, of de
partment stores, chain store organ-
; izations and members of various re
tail trade associations, the brief
' states that consumer co-operatives
are no longer true co-operatives
’ effecting “savings” for their mem
bers bqt are now trading enter
prises identical in all respects with
retail business. The so-called “sav
ings" of the co-operatives are profits
in the true and ordinary sense and
as such should be subject to the
same taxes as are paid by ordinary
trading enterprises, it is maintained.
Stating that the retail trades gen
erally are seriously affected by the
privileged treatment now given co
operatives, the brief cites examples
of income and excess profits taxes
paid by representative retail stores
and gives corresponding; figures for
certain co-operatives which, because
of their tax exemption, axe enabled ;to build up large reserves for fur-1
ther expansion at the expense of
competing retailers. In 1941 there
were 445 co-operative retail stores in
Canada doing 319,839,000 of busi
ness annually and since that time
there has been a phenomenal growth
and expansion of co-operatives in
some sections of Canada.
Severity of the tax loss to Canada
in 1941 is indicated by the fact that
fanner co-operatives alone had sales
of $242,158,305 in that year and
had accumulated tax-free reserves
or profits of $42,900,000. With the
continued expansion of the co-oper
ative movement as a whole the tax
loss to the State must be steadily in
creasing and must now be very large,
according, to their brief.
The Canadian Retail Federation 1
takes the stand that under a free
econorhy any legitimate form of te- ;
tail distribution which adequately
fills a public need is fair competition
provided that such competitive form
of retail distribution does not receive
special privileges particularly in re
spect of taxation. The Federation
believes, however, that co-operative
organizations now enjoy advantages
under tax laws and their application
which are grossly unfair to retail
business* and urges that the Income
War Tax Act and Excess Profits Tax
1940 be amended to make it clear
beyond question that the so-called
“savings” of co-operatives, are in
really taxable income.

FIRST SLEEPING CAR
WAS BUILT IN CANADA
Montreal — -“The world’s first
sleeping car was built in Canada,”
G. E. McCoy, assistant chief of car
equipment, Canadian National Rail
ways, /told members of the Staff
Service Club of Montreal. “It was
specially constructed at Brantford,
Ont., for the Prince of Wales, later
King Edward, on his visit to Canada
in 1860, and was designed by Thomas
Burnley, shop foreman of the Buf
falo and Lake Huron Railway, now
a part of the National System.” Mr.
McCoy was speaking on the", origin
and development of railway passen
ger cars. -
“Since 1829, when the first railway
car was devised for transportation
of passengers, to the present, great
strides V<ve been made in improv
ing the design of passenger equip
ment. However, in the post-war per
iod there will be mapy changes intro
duced to the interior of day coaches,
and sleeping and dining can, which
will add to the comfort of the trav
elling public," said Mr. McCoy.
President S. A. Gibson presided atthe annual meeting of Ingersoll WarCharities in the Council Chamber onTuesday of last week. In his address,Mr. Gibson pointed out that 1944had proven one of the finest andmost encouraging years the board
has experienced. The co-operation of
the general public had been except
ionally fine and he urged the same
consideration be given the organiz
ation during the current year.
Mr. Gibson extended thanks and
appreciation to the citizens for their
fine co-operation in an effort to stand
behind the organization. He drew
attention to the Qact that Canada
has lost more than 80,000 men
in the present conflict and said
"as our boys over there are making
untold sacrifices, in too many cases
the supreme sacrifice, they are only
asking in return, that the folks at
home stand behind them to the ex
tent of sending the things they need
and must have over thertf if they are
to do their duty and finish the job
they have been called upon to do.”
Mr. Gibson reminded his hearers that
because the war is now in the final
stages there should be no “letting
down” in the matter of continuing to
give. The little gifts of the citizens
at home are still urgently needed and
must be forthcoming.
Rev. R. H. Parr, minister of Trin
ity United Church, also spoke briefly
in support of War Charities, urging
the citizens of the town to continue
their magnificent work in this regard.
He said the efforts of the past had
been splendid but the time had not
yet arrive^ when these efforts might
cease. He said he believed the citi
zens of the town have been satisfied
with the manner in which the work
of the organization has been con
ducted in the past.
Mrs. C. K. Long spoke in behalf
of the I.O.D.E. Chapters of the town,
expressing appreciation to the organ
ization for the support given theirwork.

ried. How I want to! That is, Iwant to marry you. Will you?"“Yes, Tony." she whispered."Gee," breathed Tony, "am Ihappy!" He thrust his head in at
the taxi window and kissed Barbara swiftly. "Heck, it’s three minutes to train time! So long, sugar,I—I’ll be seeing you."
"G-good-by, Tony, d-darling,"faltered Barbara.
But Tony was already tearingdown the street in his battered flivver. leaning out to wave frantically
at her as be took the corner on twowheels.Tony telephoned her from the station. The train was ten minutes
late. He said he had so much totell her. He said he didn't knowwhy he was so fussed around her."My tongue ties itself in knots.” heconfessed ruefully. "What makes itso funny, I could always say sweetnothings to girls I didn’t give a dam
about. Explain that if you can,Miss West.".He said he would write her fromNew York, “take good care ofyourself, kid,” he said. "You kindof make all’ the difference to me."
"You don't exactly stand for nothing in my life.” retorted Barbara,Tony laughed. "You can’t makeme mad that way, sugar,” he said."Good-by.”Barbara was a little disconcerted
when she reached the office the next
morning to find that the news of herengagement had preceded her. Tonyhad told the gang at the station.They said he had been walking onair.- - They said be acted as if behad come into a fortune and could ,
not keep it to himself.It was apparent right from thestart that neither her friends norTony's believed their marriagewould work out People told Barbara that she was too practical andmatter-of-fact to be happy married
to a harum-sdhrum like Tony Blake.They said she bught to marry someone like Marlin Fagg. Martinagreed with them.. He had beenintending to ask Barbara to marry
him for some time^Z‘1 **• Jbstwaiting- till I paid my business out'and got a little money.ahead," hetold -Barbara reproachfully. "Ithought you knew that" ,Marfin was twenty-seven - and hewas already on-his way to becom
ing one of the pillars of the com
munity. He had worked his way/ through school and clerked in a drygoods store until he had savedenough to go Into business for himself. He bad a small ready-to-wearshop which was doing very well.

wrong," sighed Hank Woods.Hank and Tony grew up in thesame town, but Hank came fromthe wrong side of the railroadtracks. That had not preventedTony from taking Hank wherever
Tony went. With Tony it was acase of like me, like my friends.While Tony was at the university,Hank secured a position on theClarion, driving a truck for the cir
culation department. When Tony
received his degree, Hank persuad
ed Chump Fields to take Tony onthe paper. Tony's position wasmuch better than Hank’s, who woreoveralls. His hands were usuallygrimy."Sure, Hank’s a roughneek,"
Tony told Barbara once, "but he'd
fight a circular saw for me andyou don't make friends like thatevery day."Barbara had received a telegramfrom Tony as soon as be reached
New York:
FORGOT TO SAY I'M CRAZYABOUT YOU ISN’T THAT PRICELESS LOVE TONY
It was exactly like Tony to tackon an extra word and make thetelegram cost twice as much as it
might have, thought Barbara. Tony
never worried about expenses, but
she did. Her father had been illfor three years before he died. Hisillness consumed all bis savings.
They had had to go into debt sodeeply that Barbara lay awakenights wondering what would become of them. She could not re
member her mother. The responsi
bility had left her with a terriblefear of being caught in such straitsagain. Her father's life insurancehad cleared the debts away, but
nothing was ever to free Barbara
from her dread of being penniless.
She had a letter from Tony thenext morning. It was a funny letter, btit it brought the tears to Barbara’s eyes. “You wouldn’t believeIt,” wrote Tony, "but I can’t makelove on paper to you. After all the
love letters I've written with mytongue in my cheek, when I wantto tell you I love you, my pen getsthe blind staggers. Must be because you're the most tremendousthing that ever happened to me.
Please read between the lines, if
you can, sugar. Anyway, I'll beseeing you tomorrow. Yours exclusively, Tony.”Barbara counted the hours untilTony’s return and then, as the timecame, she suffered an attack of
nerves. After ail, she and Tonywere btfrely acquainted. "Maybeeverybody's right,” she told herselfin a panic. "Maybe I’m crazy tothink our marriage can work.”
When she heard Tony's voiee in
the outer office that afternoon her
noticed that as a rule Tony paid thechecks.“That's because I'm flush rightnow,” he explained. "The rewardmoney, you know. Next week probably Paul will sell an article or
Dave snare a client and the party’llbe on them. Meanwhile I'm elected."Barbara liked the women in thecrowd no better than the men. Onewas a woman artist with black
bangs and a throaty voice who
called Tony "beloved Peter Pan"with every other breath. Her namewas Wanda Lytle although Tonytold Barbara privately that Wandahad been born plain Maggie Piltz.
"Tony’s spirit has wings," Wan
da informed Barbara in a lofty
voice. “It would be the sin unpardonable to drag his soul downto earth.”"After all,’' Barbara pointed outdryly, “even a winged spirit has to
eat and have somewhere to sleep.
They've even been known to require shoes."Tony told Barbara later not tothink Wanda as goofy as she sounded. "She’s really a grand gal." heconfided.
“Of course you know about Tony’s play,” said Wanda."His play?” Barbara echoedblankly."Did you ever see a newspaper-
man who wasn't writing a play*he asked.“Did you ever know one to finishIt?" inquired Hank Woods.Hank went along with the crowd
because Tony insisted, but Hank
had no more use for them thanthey for him. "They can't imagine what Tony sees in me," he saidto Barbara, "They’ve labeled methe Ubiquitous Moron. I had to
a<k Tony how to spell it before 1could look it up in the dictionary.It means I’m a low-grade mentality who is always under Tbny’sfeet.”
"I’m afraid that's the way they
feel about me," sighed Barbara.On one point Barbara was adamant. She would not agree to giveup her job until they were out ofdebt “It's a complex with me,"
she told him. "I can't stand beingIn debt"
“But, darling, Mother doesn’tcare if I never pay her.” protestedTony. ,
“I care," said Barbara, her facewhite. “You’D just have to bear
with me about this, Tony. It’s myweakness, I suppose, but It scaresme to death to have no moneyahead. 1*U work until we have astake.""O. K., sugar," said Tony.
"You're the captain. I'm just thecrew.”

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY,, MARCH 1, 1945CHURCHILL AND ROOSEVELT CONFER WITH ARAB STATESWEEK BY WEEK•— By Dean Wilson —-CAUSE FOR INDECISIONSWith election “talk” in the air, itis said backstage along ParliamentHill that behind the indecision orreluctance of. many good politicalprospects to run in the next generalelection is the simple explanation,
it is claimed here, that these pros
pective candidates could barely
afford it since present financial con
ditions are most difficult for some of
tSem. This is due to the explanation
that the eost of maintaining a resi
dence in overcrowded capital as
well as *in their own constituency
and loss of time from their regular
professional work, industry, bus
iness or other tasks render it almost
impossible for many of them under
present conditions where the ses
sional indemnity is only $4000. In
fact, expressions of discontentment
have been heard along Parliament
Hill on all sides. It can be heard
now that the average ordinary mem
ber and Minister, even the Pryne
Minister, may be considered to be
underpaid, especially when observers
note carefully some of the salaries
of high officials in Ottawa at the
present time, though these officials
do not have to maintain two resi
dences, nor be elected. It can be
pointed out, for example, that a
comparatively young Montreal ac
countant and business executive, M.
W. Mackenzie, was appointed lately
in Ottawa as a new Deputy Minister
of Trade- and Commerce at an an
nual salary of $12,000 and another
Montreal accountant, C, A. Elderkin,
was named as Inspector-General of
Banks, at $15,000 a year. Likewise,
another relatively young man, Gra
ham Towers, Governor of the Bank
of Canada, is said to receive $30,000
a year as salary. Others who are
receiving comparatively high salaries
in relation to the amounts
the elected representatives
of the people, include Dr. W. CliffordClark, Deputy Minister of Finance,112,000 a year; Watson Seller, Auditor-General, $15,000; Donald Gordon, Deputy Governor of the Bankof Canada and head of WartimePrices and Trade Board, $20,000;Dr. Augustin Frigon, General Man
ager of the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation, $13,000; J. A. Cross,
Chairman of the Board of Transport
Commissioners, $12,500; Dr. C. J.
Mackenzie, President of the National
Research Council, $15,000 and so
forth.

ABILITY AND DISABILITY
The head of the newly created
caualty section of the Department
of Veterans’ Affairs in Ottawa, Major
Edward Dunlop , has stated in the
capital that the Department believes
that it is possible to re-establish al
most all disabled veterans of this
war. Indeed, in his remarkable state
ment he has revealed in Ottawa that
it is the object of this Department
to restore all these disabled veter
ans to their earning power and to
give them the ability to have econ
omic security since sympathy alone
is tiresome to these men and char
ity is no security. “In genreal, "the
prospects for the disabled are
good,” he declared in part. “There
are more jobs available for disabled
personnel than there are disabled
service and civilian men in the
Dominion. We hope to see them
placed in useful and profitable occu
pations.” He also pointed out that
industry under war pressure has
shown the possibility of selective
placement which is concerned now
with disabled veterans more as to
their ability that remains rather than
their ability that is lost. It may be
added that Major Edward Dunlop
himself is a blind veteran of this
war, having lost the sight of both
eyes overseas when he seized a live
grenade dropped by another soldier
and it exploded, though his brave
deed saved several lives.
WITHOUT LENGTHY
FORMALITIES
Since it has been reported that
absentees and deserters from Canada
have been allegedly picked up in the
United States, it must be Indicated
here that these men can be returned-
to this country without some of the
long legal formalities of extradition
measures because, though the Can
adian Provost Corps cann.ot act in
the same manner in the United
States as in Canada, yet, when these
men are returned to the international
border by American military and
civilian authorities, they can be held
by the Canadian Provost Corps.
Meanwhile, it appears in Ottawa
now from the latest report that
about 1669 of them have been appre
hended out of the 6300 draftees
absent without leav» in the last

CONSIDERABLE COMMENT
WIDESPREAD WHISPERS
As a result .of whispers heard
along" Parliament Hill of stories cir-
Kudating in Washington it seems .that
the new phase-, of the war . against
Japanese, may brihg sopie interesting
developments which affect Canada.
One story state* that 'Senate Com
mittee in Washington, investigating
the United States national defence
programme, has been looking into
the value of the $134,000,000 Canol
oils and pipe-line development in
Canada's northwest. Another story
claims that Western Canada’s part

The. only Canadian general officer
on active service in World War II
who won a Victoria Cross in World
War I at Paxschendaele and who
wears five wound stripes, 56-year-old
Major General George R. Pearkes,
who resigned as general officer com
manding the Pacific Coast Command
and ever since this resignation has
been talked about considerably along
Parliament Hill because it is held
that the last has not been heard
about this affair for two reasons.
One reason is that his resignation
was followed by a furious attack by
the Minister of Agriculture, Hon.
James Gardiner upon the alleged
political sympathies of Major Gen
eral Pearkes. Another reason is that
Major General. Pearkes"' was sup
posed to have declared at one time
thdt ’’no man should wear the khaki
uniform unless he is willing to wear
it anywhere.”/and he was quite out
spoken about his attitude on the
draftee issue. Incidentally, Major
General Pearkes has been in the
Army for over.35’ years so that
whether he retired voluntarily or
compulsorily he 'is entitled to the
same pension; with this bcipg stated
to offset any rumours or stories' to,
the contrary on account of the fact
that he h«L*.*resirned“ or that he had
"^requested" to. Be relieved of his
command, though he was four yean
nnder the usual retirement age foj-
home establishment commanders.-^

Hello Homemakers! The number
one housekeeping problem during
Lent is the provision of attractive
meat alternatives. We highly recom
mend such substitutes as creamed
vegetables, cheese casseroles, beah
dishes, platters of fish and fowl, and
egg dishes. A few of these have
been selected for this week and we
hope you enjoy their flavour and

and serve very hot.
Cut halibut in pieces. about the
size and shape of scallops. Dip in
crumbs, egg, and dry in deep fat
(375 deg.) or hot enough to brown
a cube of bread in 50 seconds.
STEAMED FISH
(Cod, Pike, Trout, Perch)
Dry-meated fish are best for boil
ing or steaming as flesh will remain
firm. Unless fish is to be garnished
whole, it is better to cut into pieces
for serving before boiling or
steaming.
Sprinkle fish liberally with salt
and steam over boiling water or soup
stock with a bit of garlic in it.
Steam is preferable to boiling as
little flavour is lost. Save any juice
that comes from the fish to use in
sauce in place of water. Serve with
a tasty sauce.
TAKE A TIP
1. To keep woollens in circulation
longer it is important to give
them careful And frequent clean
sing. Use plenty of water but not
too much soap. Squeeze through
the suds and brush any soiled
spots with a soft brush . Rinse
well in 3 or 4 basins of warm
water. Squeze dry and spread out
on clean paper to dry.
2. Perspiration, dirt and grease
that arc allowed to remain in the
fabric of overalls weaken the
cloth. Frequent washings are
better than severe laundering for
very dirty clothes.
3. Clothes that have become yel
lowed can be whitened by first
soaking them over night in water
containing borax—about 1-4 cup
to 1 gallon of water. If the re
sult is not satisfactory, let them
freeze in cold water. This will
whiten cottons and linens won
derfully.
At the meeting of the Lion’s Club
on Monday evening, two new mem
bers were inducted, Major Ben
Holmes and George Hawkins, by
President Victor Shipton.
The speaker for the evening was
Mr. Ed. J. Dutton of Woodstock,
naturalist and authority on bird life.
Mr. Dutton explained to the club
how he had reduced court cases
where boys had been brought into
court for shooting and destroying
birds’ eggs, by educating the youth
in organized bird clubs, as to the
purpose and necessity of our native
feathered friends in destroying in
sects, rodents, weed seeds and dead
fish washed up on our shores.
Mr. Dutton had several stuffed
specimens of birds which he dis
played while explaining the particu
lar way in which each family bird
catches and destroys insect life. This
made the lecture doubly interesting
and educational. Mr. Dutton said that
if bird life became extinct, he would
hate to be around three years after
this happened as all foliage, along
with crops, would be destroyed by
insects.
“We do not want foreign birds as
they upset the balance of nature,”
said Mr. Dutton, as sudh birds are
brought into our , country without
their enemies.” He particularly men
tioned starlings in this class and
said he hoped some disease would
strike and wipe out these birds from
foreign lands, that are neither wel
come nor wanted in this country,
Mr. Dutton £aged by saying that
we need each and every native bird
in this land of ours to make a clean
and healthy land to live in and we
should treat them as our greatest
friends. "When you kill, you paj.
They must be paid for the great
work they do and we can repay them
by giving them protection,” he
stated. Mr. Dutton has, been instru
mental in procuring Government
protection for birds that have ren
dered us a great service when other
wise they may have been destroyed.
Mr. Les. Porter was in attendance
as a guest of Mr. Frank Leake.
Attendance at this meeting
recorded as being 92%.

“Yes, mother.”
“I was going to give you some to

nations on their national doorsteps 1
is as uncomfortable as to have a ,
blind beggar, sitting cold and empty
on one’s own threshold. Both make
for a troubled conscience and a feel
ing that it isn’t right to feel happy
and sustained inside and out, while
another eyes one with wolfish hunger.
That’s very often how less favoured
nations have looked on us of the
fortunate nations.
Envy breeds resentment and re
sentment in turn brings about a de
sire and then a determination to win,
by fair means or foul, and it usually
turns out to be foul, some of the
good things denied them. Too much
on the one hand, too little on the
other, has accounted for much of
the strife that has rocked the world
continuously. Both within nations
and between nations a too great dis
crepancy in possessions has pro
voked wars.
We are now at the turning point.
We may, if wisdom rules in high
places, and that is much more the
result of wisdom on the part of the
electors than is ordinarily admitted,
make a new world, where every
nation is given the means to produce
what it needs, and where a man’s
toil is guarantee of a sufficiency
for decent living, or we can again
start on the old round of envy and
despair, revolt and war.
Not all wars, we admit, are made
in that spirit, but if we can elimin
ate all that are, we are on our way
to total elimination of the curse of
the ages. If war produces in the
mind of man the thought .that it is
beastly and unnecessary, it can pro
voke as its counterpart, the thought
that it can be avoided. Once we know
it can, it will be, for it is only as we
have succeeded in saying, "we can,"
that we do.

In the interests of humanity it is
impossible to'do too much. We are
sure.that the greatest extent of our
ability to help must be our only
limit. Much has been said, both for
and against it, of lend-lease, and
although in war a free flow of goods
from one part of the world to an
other, has been necessary as part of
our effort to defeat the upholders of
the totalitarian concept of rule, it is
going to be as necessary after the
war is done, if we are to bring
about conditions that make for per
manent peace.
The theory that a man can live
entirely to himself and ignore the
needs of others, has not now many
'adherents, Many would like to, but
find it incompatible with conscience,
that demands that we share. So with
nations. Although they may prefer
