His address was illustrated by slides and dealt, with the development of atomic energy. He outlined very fully the progress that had been made in the past 50 years in the development of uranium. He also explained many of the probabilities that may be devel­ oped from the use of this enormous I energy. This development will stand j as a monument to the scientists who have worked in connection with the atomic bomb. The speaker said the. commercial value of this energy would be so great that it was impos­ sible to even make suggestions as to possibilities. Visitors present at the meeting were John Lockhart of the R.C.A.F.. Gordon Moggach, Ross Fewster, pre­ sident of the South Oxford Hockey League, Councillor Thomas Morri­ son. Dr. A. W.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17th, 1946 Real Issue Behind Strikes > “There is a popular belief assiduously fostered by some labor leaders, that recent strikes arc the “inevitable result” of reconversion. That supposi­ tion is not correct”, says The Financial Post in a leading editorial. “And neither is the other cur­ rently pushed claim, that during the war there was a truce, with the country practically free of strikes. “Flat denials of both assertions come from the official report of the Department of Labor. These show that current strikes have little to do with the question of wages or hours and are therefore not tied with reconversion and that outbreaks were actually more prevalent during than since the war. <* “The exact figures were 190 strikes from Janu­ ary to November in. 1944 as compared to 175 iast year. Time loss in the 1945 period was more than double that of 1944, but that was due only to the fact that 10,000 automobile workers went on strike in September and precipitated a series of sympathy strikes throughout the industry. “The disclosure is significant in that It pene­ trates the camouflage some union leaders have sought to draw over the real reason for to-day’s labor unrest They have claimed that organized labor served with patriotic selfishness through the war years and now seeks only to gain some object­ ives in peace that were denied it in time of con­ flict. “The strike record for 1944 and the current predominance of “union security” as a major issue in labor dispute indicates that nt least a section of organized labor is being used to carry out a long- prepared and carefully planned campaign with its objective not the benefit of the worker as such, but of union treasuries and union executives. The urgency of war did not stop the latter from pursu­ ing this objective. It is increasingly obvious that the urgency of getting into fullscale peacetime production will be equally ineffectual." Prevention of Tuberculosis Encouraged by the decrease in the death rate in Tuberculosis from 51.7 in 1943 to 48 last year, the Departments of Health of our goverments are taking active steps*to assist the Sanatoria of the Dominion in the'elimination of the disease, through the mass x-ray of entire communities and there is every hope that efforts will, in the not too distant future, be crowned with success, but so long as a single undiscovered case exists, the danger to our homes remains. The Committee, therefore anicipates that the many who have not yet answered our appeal letter will do so before the close of the campaign, thus enabling the Sanatorium to carry on to the fullest eitent its preventive programme. vMr. F. C. .Moore, Chairman , of the Ingersoll Committee, was informed by Col. F. B. Ware, that Ingersoll is progressing well, 70% of its objective to the amount of $622.88 being received to date. Last year, 334 contributors gave the sum of $879.53, but so far this year only 261 have ans­ wered the appeal, but as a very large number of thfe Sanatorium’s subscribers send in their dona­ tion between the first of the year and close of the campaign on the 15th February, the committee is confident that Ingersoll will more than go over the top. Woodstock has contributed 87% of its objective, Norwich 73, Tillsonburg 85, while the rural centres of Oxford County have already passed their last year’s total and are within $60.00 of their objective. Highway Deaths With appalling frequency we read of people being killed in traffic accidents. Men, women, boys and girls are the victims and they come from every part of the Dominion. Children on the way to school or youngsters playing in the street are included in the record of these deaths, it is time our people awakened to the seriousness of the situation, for it will be a terrible thing rf our communities end by taking such tragedies as a matter of course. Just as there are “sermons in stones”, so too are there lessons in your newspaper. Many a genial and iraculous force has been known to proceed from a newspaper. Merely reading one issue of your newspaper makes the air swim with life. By actin" a kind of sparkplug for your own mind, it fires your brain to think your way through every problem. Your newspaper, unconsciously, and .unintentionally perhaps, reprints constantly the w !mi of the world. Knowledge may be power, but knowledge with- but wisdom is power without direction.

George Drew in re-arranging his cabinet paid tribute to Dr. R. P. Vivian who resigned as Minister of Health and Public Welfare. He had done outstanding work in reorganiz­ ing the Ontario Department of Health “and in the introduction of many of the most advanced meas­ ures in existence anywhere in the field of public health.” “It has now become desirable,” the Premier explained, “to recognize that the problem is largely one of business administration, with the technical advice of the medical ex­ perts of the Department of Health. For that reason, Russell T. Kelley has been chosen as Minister of Health because of his business ex­ perience, his wide range of public services, and latterly his splendid work in charge of the Red Cross Blood Donors’ organization, which has brought him actively in contact with the medical services throughout the Province.” Hon. Mr. Kelley organized an in­ surance company thirty-three years ago and shortly after formed the Bussell T. Kelley Advertising Agency. Hg ife president of the Uni­ ted Nations Society in Canada, a di­ rector of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, past president and hon orary president of the Ontario Asso­ ciation of Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce. He is a director of the Ontario division of the Canadian Red Cross Society and headed its blood donor campaign. He has been president of the Ontario Tourist Association, the Ontario Motor League and the Na­ tional Council of the Young Men’s Christian Associaiton. He is an en­ thusiastic lacrosse fan, has been pre­ sident of the Hamilton Lacrosse , Club for 21 years and is a past pre­ sident of the Ontario Lacrosse Association. Mr. Kelley is a fluent after-dinner speaker and has been , the guest speaker for every service club in Ingersoll on different occas­ ions.

Some cookers may be placed in a small amount of cold water to release Steam. [4. Because some foods, as less-ten­ der meats, souiJs and the like can use longer cooking times, instant pressure reduction is not neces­ sary. A better result is obtained if such foods as dried beans or whole onions are allowed to drop pressure by cooling normally, as a sudden temperature v change may cause splitting of the skins. 5. A few minutes too long in the pressure pan can cook vegetables into an unrecognizable mass. 6. The short cooking time also pre­ serves food values by shortening the time of exposure to heat. Vitamins B-l and C are not de­ stroyed in pressure-cooked foods to the same extent as they are in longer cooking. HYDRO Hello Homemakers!

Although there are two or three kinds on the market now, differing primarily in the way the steam is re­ leased, other types are being manu­ factured. These saucepans are mod­ ern, easy to clean and durable. The operation of a pressure cooker is streamlined to assist the busy homemaker in preparing nutri­ tious meals quickly. It’ requires only a few minutes to cook a delectable supper dish for the whole family or two or three vegetables may be ’ooked in the saucepan without the mixing of flavours or colours. The saving of fuel is considerable, Cooking a pot? roast or less-tender meat is accomplished with speed as it cuts the time per pound in half. The use of electricity as a fuel assists in processing since the heat should not fluctuate.

Care should be taken not to fill the cooker too full or with over sized portions that will dose the vent pipe when the cooker cover is sealed. 2. When the desired press re is reached—which is indicat d by a pointer on a gau re or by a slight hissing sound, and movement of the weight—the heat should be lowered immediately. 3. Foods with short cooking times will be over-cooked unless the temperature is rapidly reduced.) 15 lbs. for 25 mins. — From —HEALTH LEAGUE ofCANADA INQUESTS ASKED IN DIPHTHERIA DEATHS Recent statement of Major-Gen­ eral Brock Chisholm, Deputy Minis­ ter of National Health, that any danger from diphtheria is “from ignorance and superstitition which prevents parents from giving child­ ren the protection of toxoid treat­ ment,” has drawn support from prominent officials of the Health League of Canada. Dr. Nelles Silverthorne, chairman of the League's National Immuniza­ tion Committee, said the truth of Gen. Chisholm’s statement was borne out by the fact that of the seven children who died during the current diphtheria outbreak in Ot­ tawa, not one had been immunized. “This tragic evidence alone proves the value of toxoid”, Dr. Silver­ thorne said. “It is beyond compre­ hension why parents neglect to have their children given harmless toxoid protection when such protection is so easily obtainable in Canada today. “It’s too bad that it takes an epi­ demic to make people realize the truth,” he said in commenting on the fact that attendance at Ottawa’s clinics for toxoid injections has in­ creased more than 300 per cent since the outbreak’s start. Di* Gordon Bates, General Dir­ ector of the League, said he agrees with Gen. Chisholm that vigorous action is necessary. *“I trust that forthcomng "Health Week”—February 3rd to 9th—will do much to draw to the attention of all Canadians the fact that much disease ’ is needless— preventable. For instance, universal use of toxoid will wipe out diphtheria. National Immunization Week last fall called attention to the known facts, but still there are thousands of parents who have been too indifferent to act.J “If parents, knowing the facts, are still too indifferent and careless to j protect their children by having them toxoided, the time may come when such parents may be held re­ sponsible.“I suggest a coroner’s inquest in the case of diphtheria deaths might serve to awaken the public con­ science.”Dr. Bates remarked that Health Minister Jo»c R. Andren of Cuba re­ cently ordered that protection against- diphtheria for all children under eight years of age be made compqlsory. “Apparently that is what we need in this country,” he said. /Spring-FilledMATTRESSES $29.75 Fine quality materials throughout—that's whythis mattress assures you luxurious comfort plus dur­ability.

Elgin Farm Forum THE NEW LABOR PROBLEM How Much Shall We Pay Our M’s P.? — by — R. J. Deachman Parliament serves a definite pur­ pose. Democracy cannot exist with­ out it. Is there in’ Canada, one voter in ten thousand, who would wish to change our form of government—or one, in that number, who in the course of the year, has ' failed to pass a flippant comment on parlia­ ment or the members of the House of Commons? When despots come, modern style, and the world has had enough of them, there are three things they do: (1) Corrupt the courts, despot­ ism cannot survive while jus­ tice prevails. (2) Stifle the press. Free Brit­ ain could never have a Hit­ ler, “Punch” would laugh him to death. (3) Abolish elected Parliaments but not by direct attack. The despots use a policy of bewil­ derment The people are taught tc believe that it’s smart to sneer at democratic forms of government. It isn't smart, it’s silly. It’ your government, you voted for it. Criti­ cise it, if you will, put it' out of you j •want to, but don’t sneer at it. Perhaps parliament talks much. Better that, a thousand times, than that it should talk too little. I wonder what would happen in Can­ ada if the voice of the the people fell silent and the government ran the affairs of the nation without the mellowing influence which a strong parliament exerts, at times, upon the executive. The salaries, or is it the indemni­ ties of the members of the House of Commons and the Senate were in­ creased by $2,000 at the recent ses­ sion. They have been getting $4,000 since 1920, now they will get $6,000, $2,000 tax free for the M’.* P.—taxable to the Senators, Cabinet Ministers and the Leader of the Opposition. There is a reason for this. Labor is demanding and receiving increased pay. The auto workers want a 30- hour week with war-time take-homepay. The railway workers asked for, and received, an increase which amounted to $30,000,000 a yesif The BRAKE / ser vice/ W HEEL ALIGNUI nt SAVE YOU* \ TIRES 1 \ • f INGaRSEILL AOffft 0 ELECWRIC (Fleischer St Jewett Ltd.) organized farmers who might have .been expected to protest—for freight rates are to them a vital matter— were themselves receiving substan­ tial bonuses. They had given hos­ tages to fortune and were silent for fear their hostages would be shot if they said a word. Meanwhile what is the position of the member of the House of Com­ mons. The $4,000 he receives does’ not go very far. Out of this he must pay income tax amounting to roughly $1,300, (a low estimate), this leaves him $2,700 a year. Does he have that clear to himself? He does not. He must spend five or six months of hu time in Ottawa, a city of high living costs. There are Members of Parliament to whom the cost is nothing. They spend their full indemnities during the session, perhaps treat it as “pet­ ty cash.” No one proposes to com­ pensate these for the money they throw away, but I venture to sug­ gest that there is taken out of the sessional indemnity of the average M.P. somewhere in the neighbor­ hood of $1,000—his expenses during the session and the side trips he Las to make at his own expense. This leaves him with approximately $1,700 “take-home pay”, a delight­ ful phrase. Now the heavens have opened and a refreshing rain pours down upon the thirsty Members of Parliament. I think I have shown that the 'shower was needed, perhaps more showers ! are needed, yet it does not sound quite right—there is a false note, a rift injhe lute. This change adds to the income of the Member of Parliament, but it is left tax free on the assumption that it represents expenses incurred in the course of bis business, just as a firm pays the expenses of the trav­ eller on the’road. If the expenses are, as this Act assumes $2,000 per year, then the average M.P., during the last few years, had to pay $1,300 in income tax—$2,000 in general expenses in­ curred while on the business of his constituents—leaving him only $700 a year for his services. What a re­ flection on the Canadian people! In the language of our old school boy friend, Mr. Euclid: “This is absurd.” The member has more than that, a part of the $2,000 is an in­ crease in the members’ salary but it is defined as expense and is exempt from income tax. It should not have been done this way. The people of Canada should be willing to pay their Members of Parliament fairly and openly. They need not be ashamed of them. I have watched them in ac­ tion for a life time, they are a goodly crowd, work tremendously hard, get little thanks for it. It is not good for the nation that the members of the House of Commons should be afraid to ask for what they are wdrth, and when some­ thing is done it is regrettable that it should conceal more than it re­ veals, and leave the issue still un­ settled, still obscure.

Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN 17, 1946 CHAPTER XII Wb.ee Ralph Rowland went to war.his lister. “Rusty.” was left in chargeof the ranch. Soon black market oper­ators got busy and slaughtered someof her cattle. She called Ladue DecKer,a neighboring rancher, to come over,but he laughed at the Idea of gangstersand proposed to her. Rusty turned himdown She stopped at the home of DrHerbert Westmore, a veterinarian forwhom she has great admiration, andwhile there la told that her Uncle Jedhas been shot She hurries to see himIn the hospital. Decker proposes to hertor the second time and warns Rustyagainst Dr. Westmore. saying U shedoes not call him off he. Decker, winhave Westmore put In Jail. Deckercasta suspicion upon Westmore's charac­ter and activities. It waa the third day before Rustyfound time to embark on her first venture, but not one moment of thepreceding days had been given tocalling Doctor Westmore and can­celling their agreement On the afternoon of the third day,she saddled the now recoveredBabe, whistled up Manny’s dogsand set forth.“The idea,” she told the dogs,“is to pick up the scent of cattle,just as Manny has taught you topick up the scent of the milkingherd. Then I follow you.” It was late afternoon before thedogs, now far ahead, began a fran­tic barking. Rusty put Babe into a gallop. The dogs were surroundingsomething. A Double R stray? She rode up, called off the dogs,and for a moment grasped thepommel of her saddle while the cliffs of the Nopocos danced diz­zily before her sickened eyes. It simply couldn’t be. Not on herranch. It could not be. yet it was.Before her, too weak to run or even dip horn at the dogs, stoodan emaciated steer in the laststages of anthrax.“Back. Babe,” she ordered. Andto the dogs, "Get home with you.. . . Now, steady, girl; we have todo it . . .” Before her was the drooping headof the mortally sick steer. Shedrew her revolver.“Here goes," she said stoutly—and shot. The steer staggered, then fell tothe ground and lay still. Cautiously, Rusty rode closer,looking down to check the brand.• where a brand had been, there was now the crisscross lines ofone deliberately fouled, but which could never have been that of theDouble R. BThen cattle riot her own werebeing run across her land. Towhere? Or had this steer, so closeto another line, wandered astray? Suddenly she knew the explana­tion, knew as clearly as though theNopocos were of crystalline glass.She straightened, looked up. At that moment, a shower ofloose shale rattled down the cliff,and she caught a brief glimpse ofa man up there before he duckedbehind a rock.Rusty waited a moment to seewhether the man on the cliff wouldreappear But he didn’t Quite ob­viously, he did not want to be seen—was hiding. Then, she whirled her pony aboutand raced back toward the ranch house. As she rode, she determinedshe must get in touch with HerbWestmore Immediately—-tell himwhat she had seen and what shesurmised. How could she ever have doubtedhim? She somehow knew now thatbe was the person to help her.But bow to reach him? To tele­phone would mean that a dozen or more receivers would be liftedwhen she rang central. If thewrong person listened in, it mightbe disastrous. And yet, she had toact swiftly, before that lookout onthe cliff could carry a warning tohis superiors.' Then, ahead, she saw one of hernew riders—one of the two she hadhired first"”Dorward," she said, "I need aman I can trust to do an important errand for me.”“You may trust me, Miss Row­land. I am at your service—and theservice of my country.”“So that’s it! You were placed here for a purpose.”"Now that you have singled meout I am tree to admit It I knowyou will reveal this to no one•Ise. What do you want me to do?” "Drive into town and tell DoctorWestmore I want him to come heretn the morning, prepared to makea trip Inti the Nopocos.” • "Herb will be glad to do this," hestated, and Rusty was not sur­ prised.She told him what she hadfound and what she expected tofind, and he nodded.Then, suddenly, he said, "Play up,” and began a loud-mouthed de­nunciation of her.For a moment, Rusty's mouthstood open. Then she saw that an­other rider was approaching them —om of the last three new bindsshe hau hired."AH I got to say,” Dorward con­cluded. as the other rider came up,"it's the last time I werit Jar a woman—” Rusty waited a moment to see whether the man on tbe cliff wouldreappear. "It’s the last time you’ll workfor this one!" Rusty flashed back.“You come to the house and I’llgive you your time. Then you andthat pardner of yours get off the place!” Rusty was deeply asleep whensomething awakened her. An un­sheathed paw. Annoyed, sheslapped at the cat, then awakenedcompletely, listening.Fatso was growling, growling likean alarmed dog. She jumped fromthe bed and went to the window. Amoment later, she jumped down and went to the hall door—andagain she growled.But did cats sense danger?Suddenly, Rusty was cold withfear. The ranch doors were never locked, and inside, this night, wereonly her mother, Manny and her­self.Stealthily she went to her doorand opened it For a moment shebeard nothing. Then came the tell­tale creak of the front door, a bare­ly discernible creak.Swiftly, with Fatso held firmlyunder her robe, she slipped throughthe ball to her mother's room. Sheliterally dragged the sleep-stupidwoman through her bath to Man­ny’s room. "Manny” — she laid her handover his mouth—“not a word outol you. Tnere is someone prowlingdownstairs—understand?”They could hear nothing at first.Then, perhaps half an hour afterRusty’s first alarm, they heard footsteps padding about Manny’sroom, and the murmur of men’s■voices.[ “Come on." whlspwed a voice."This is the kid's room; we don’t want him."And Rusty knew it was she whomthey wanted.But for what?Rusty, her mother and Manny, huddled In the little attic next toManny’s room, heard the Intrudersleaving the room. For a while,there was filence.Then, suddenly, there was an explosion of sound somewhere with­in the house—angry voices, scuffing.This went on for some time, to befollowed again by silence, And then, the three in the atticonce more heard footsteps in the adjoining room—and the sound ofa familiar voice."Muz—Sis—Manny!

But what in the world was he doing here?“In here, son!” Mrs. Rowlandcalled excitedly. “Just a minute!We’ve barricaded ourselves in Eagerly, they clawed at theheavy play chest, moved it out ofthe way, and opened the door. Mrs.Rowland rushed out to fling her­ self Into the arms of her tail son.Manny breathed an .-wed, "Geewhlzl” Rusty followed her motherinto Ralph’s arms, then looked be­yond him.In the doorway, stood HerbWestmore.“But Ralph, what are you doinghere?" asked Mrs Rowland.“Westmore wangled a furloughfor me, and I shot here by plane.I reached Westmore’s place lastevening just after Dorward hadbrought Rusty’s message. That message made him so sure thatRusty was in danger that we droveright out And a good thing wedid! V'« meaked into the house,hearc e one prowling aroundupstahmd came up to find theintruders in Rusty’s room. Dor­ward and his partner. Cutter, areguarding them downstairs now." In the living room, the three pris­oners sat sullenly, their wrists and ankles bound Dorward and Cut­ter stood guard over them.At first, under Westmore’s andRalph’s questioning, the trio re­fused to talk. But finally, one of them weakened.“We didn't aim to harm MissRowland.” he said. “We was tokeep her hid until we got word tolet her go. She'd found out toomuch.” “You couldn’t have ** ■with JL” Rusty out in. “Reckon we could. We'da madeyou write a note to your mothersayin’ the hospital had phoned youthat your uncle had took a badturn, and so you’d gone into thecity. Then, later, you’da tele­phoned that everything was okaybut that you were goin’ to stay in town for. a few days until youruncle was better."“I suppose you know the penaltyfor kidnapping,” Ralph remarkedcoldly. “We’ll all get sprung,” the manbragged. “Don’t think no little cow­town justice can send us up. We got protection 'way up."After a little more questioning,the three would-be kidnappers weretaken out and turned over’ to acouple of deputy sheriffs whom Ralph and Westmore had broughtfrom the city in case they wereneeded, and who were waiting intheir car down on the road. Later, they all assembled againin the living room.“Now, Sis," said Ralph, “you’regoing to write the kind of notethose bozos wanted written. Muzwill spread the news over theranch in the morning, so that, ifthere are any Interested ears, thevwill figure things went off asplanned. Later, Muz will spreadword that you’ve phoned that UncIs belter hut that vmt’rs eoln"stay a lew days with the West­mores.”Ralph continued. “Before dawn,you and I, with Westmore, Cutterand Dorward, will set out to findmy trail over the Nopocos Into LowValley. I think we're going to find something interesting in that val­ley. We’ve arranged for some ofthe other ranchers to go with us.The sheriff and his men are goingto come in at the same time from' the south side of the valley. By theway, is Decker handy?”“No, he’s gone East."Ralph frowned, “Then that givesSlim Jack free rein. You see, Sis, Westmore and I figured that SlimJack’s big-heartedness in helpingyou with your round-up had a pur­pose. We suspect he and bls men have been running small beef offthe Double R, aefoss one comer ofthe Four D—”“And into the hills for feedingor slaughter!” Rusty exclaimed. The first leg of the trip wasmade in Westmore’s car, withRusty crowded between Ralph andHerb, while Cutter and Dorwardoccupied the rumble seat They fol­ lowed the main road to a pointsomewhere between the Big andLittle Sandy, then turned off ontoa side road. -The gray of dawn was showingwhen they came to a grove of cot­tonwoods where they were met byfive ranchers from south of theNopocos. Here were horses and supplies and ammunition. Rustysoon found herself mounted on asturdy buckskin named By Jimlny.There was nothing exciting about the first day’s travel. Rusty hadplenty of time to think, to lay moreof the blocks into the Jg saw puz­zle. Decker’s dislike of Westmore hadevidently stemmed from an emo­tional reaction, Westmore badfound anthrax among his prize cat­tle. But what of Decker's threat to turn the doctor over to the law? Rusty prodded By Jimlny andpulled up beside Herb."Herb, tell me about the nightyou took care of Slim Jim. Why didn't you report the other man tothe authorities?”"I didn’t have to,” be confessed.“I was authority enough. I treatedthe man and didn’t turn him in be­ cause I wanted to identify aH ofthe small fry of the ring. I wantedthem to come back to me as oftenas they would.”They reached the base of the Nopocos long before sunset, andstarted on the next lap, a slow tripup canyons.

Wilson, President of TheRoyal Bank of Canada at the Bank’s Annual Meeting. Referring to reconstruction prob­lems, Mr. Wilson said: “The first im­ portant task in our post-war recon­ struction is the conversion of indus­ try to production of the basic needsof a civilized community, with the minimum of dislocation, unemploy­ ment, and friction. For two or threeyears, since we passed the peak of our war effort, we have been giving thought to the reconstruction period.Now, we are in it. The problem isno longer speculative, but is gradu­ ally being met in a practical mariner, more or less satisfactorily. If one ormore sections of the masterpiece we desire to produce are not filled in at once, let us not worry too much, butlook at the whole picture and its good prospects. Many of our people, not realizing the nature of the realproblems in reconveision and recon­ struction, want a quick answer to ail questions, and an immediate com­pletion of all plans. There cannot be such an easy way, changes in nature, people, and life are continuous, not abrupt.” READY TO MOVE FORWARD to the South American Republics in1940 was one billion, 11% milliondollars. This indicates the extent ofthe market in general, and it isparticularly interesting to take note of the fact that so many commodi-tiesM'equired by these countries are products of Canada, including ironand steel, chemicals, paper, wood and manufacturers of wood, vehicles,paints, wheat and other foodstuffs, mining' machinery, industral machin­ ery, electrical apparatus, and manyminerals. There is still a wide fieid which Canada may cultivate. “If we admit that prosperity inCanada is not just local, then the next step is to consider how we can help ourselves by measures designedto raise the purchasing power df other countries so that they can buy our goods. “The International Monetary Fundand the International Bank of Recon-} Solid ground for optimism was to be found, said Mr. Wilson, in Can­ ada’s tremendous record of accom­plishment since the turn of the cen­ tury. “Have our people confidence in themselves?” asked Mr. Wilson. “Ifthey would pause and reflect upon the historic advance of their country, they would find few reasons for de­pression and many reasons to justify hope of success. The record of whatwas accomplished is marvellous, theadvancement of every year being, built upon that of preceding years. Some interruption occurred, but nowwe are ready again to move k»r- ivard. A comparison between Kurmaterial circumstances in 1900 ind 19-15 is well worth looking at. ? “Here are some figures wlpch,'should be considered alongside <hefact that our population has Jin- creased just 123 per cent in thy 45years under review. The numbef ofacres occupied for farm purtfesei: increased 176 per cent.; the valae offarm property, in dollars o f the same purchasing power, jump® to 251 per cent, of what it was in ,1900;the value of agricultural pr®ucts exported rose 300 per cent., aiM the number of bushels of wheff weproduced grew by 685 per c e£ The increase in our production oM min­ erals was: copper, 2.079 perweent.; gold, 114; lead, 377; nickeLHl.7oi;silver, 204; asbestos, 1.115. OWr out­ put of wood pulp increase^!.892per cent. Our railways e *”’”1-''their track mileage 133 pel* the number of passengers Mcent., and tons of freight 3$ cent. The tonnage of seabonjj ping cleared at Canadian porn by 288 per cent. Telephone 4ments in use increased by 2.5i cent. Electric incandescent lainnumerous today as to be imp^ able to count, numbered only _ 000 in 1900. Radios, automoq||F and aeroplanes were not even pre­dicted in the 1900 statistical books. The registrations of radios are not by any means a complete record ofinstruments in use, but total 1 % million. Automobiles number 1 % million."And now, what should we do to make sure the progress of the past half century is continued and ex­panded in the next 50 years? I have no doubt that we have made mistakes and will continue to make mistakesin preperation for and conduct of our economic plans, but if we look aheadcarefully, make our plans as prudentindividuals, corporations and as a nation, and carry them out energet­ically, I am very sure the grdutest half century in Canada’s history lies Just ahead. "When we review the past 45 years and reflect on these thingswhich have been accomplished, surely we find it evident that Canada andits people with a record like that, donot need to be fearful of the future just because they cannot pull out of a pigeon-hole the complete answerto every question posed.” Mr. Wilson, however, warned thatCanadians could not rest on past achievements. Future progress de­ pended also on a frank appraisal ofweaknesses and demanded imagin­ ative leadership.stressed the danger of proposals to make of Canada a self-sufficientnation—a policy which if pursued could be disastrous-' to employmentand national wealth. One of the greatest needs of the immediate future, he said, was thehealthy development of foreign mar­ kets.

Recently a re- — v tiring plan was inaugurated whereby women employees and men not mem­bers of the Pension Fund are assured of an annual income when the time comes for them to give up their du­ties. Generally speaking, women em­ ployees will retire at 55 years of age. The plan is non-contributary on thepart of these employees. Special reference was made by Mr.Muir to the part played by the bank’s branches in foreign lands in promot­ing trade and understanding. He stated that the Bank’s first foreign branch had been opened nearly halfa century ago and that to-day branches abroad numbered 61. “We are the only Canadian bank cover­ing such a large field, he said, “and during the years we have in this waydirectly contributed to Canada’ssteadily increasing international trade and cultural relations.” HARRIETSVILLE The regular meeting of the rietsville Women’s Association held at the hoihe of Mrs. Edgarary on Tuesday afternoon, Jai 8th, with a’ good attendance, a George Smith, president,charge, Mrs. J.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 1946 7OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK— By Daan Wilton —SIR ALAN CUNNINGHAM WRCOMFD IN JAFFA Though on the surface it would seem that domestic issues arising out of the Dominion-Provincial Confer­ ence are thorny and difficult for the Federal Government to handle at this time, yet it is known behind the scenes in Ottawa that conditions arc changing so rapidly and radically or the international scene that prob lems of world government resulting from the peace after the war are even more vexatious or harassing at the moment Canada has gained t strong voice in world affairs, a much stronger voice than the average man or woman within this country rea­ lizes, not merely as a “go-between" the United States and Britain, but as one of the biggest leaders amongsl the smaller nations next to the major powers themselves, with this bringing proportionate responsibili­ ties in world government. Indeed, when the Big Three foreign mini­ sters met in Moscow recently to arrange proposed procedures for the drafting of peace treaties, it was hinted in Ottawa that Canada was being kept well informed. When the Canadian delegation went to London for the United Nations General < Assembly Conference, an impressive i group of delegates represented Can- 1 newed. But when Premier King came to power with a ’Liberal Administra­ tion in 1935, such titles were once again banned and none have been granted since that time. Now, it is held in Ottawa that before long a distinctive method of honours anc awards for Canadians may be estab- E i and these may in time replace ely such awards from the erland, perhaps with the excep­ tion of awards for gallantry in battle, though even in the latter case there is no certainty of possible changes in the system. VETERANS IN THE NEWS There has been a spotlight lately upon veterans* affairs in the drama of events on Parliament Hill to ar unusual extent. One report ha: shown that there is considerable re­ luctance on the part of many vet era ns to enter into training for the building trades and one official has attributed this to be the fact thai “by and large we have paid too little for the difficult and hard jobs ir Canada,” with the disclosure that be­ tween April 1, 1944 and October 31 1945, of approximately 16,000 vet crans enrolled for training, only about 1700 were in the building •rades, even if there was a strong Dr. Haikal, centre, upon Sir Alan’s arrival at the bis traditional oriental costume.Jaffa town ball, Jaffa, Palestine Dr. Haikal is chair- “ReactWHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT WAClf FEEDS Barrhead, Alberta.Ogilvie Flour Mill®Tl»i# y!aLlrter*a^*I*«^ t0 1 have had‘ Hew «»Psh l?_lKS'wwre ’‘ill’d bacft!iT»d tr i b**"*1 A thy.wy th. tr—ndously ol.aa it an «P-I acre than pleas’d with the, results.

Therefore, it is emphasized in strong words in Ottawa that this must be understood by everyone in efforts tc decipher the changing conditions of the times. In fact, Canada's whole existence depends not only on hei own domestic issues being solved but on her ability to fit the solution of her own problems into the wider pattern of world planning for peace, with this nation's role in this dram­ atic effort having already been-wit­ nessed in her activities in ratifica­ tion of the United Nation’s charter at the San Francisco Conference Bretton Woods Agreements, United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation' Administration (UNRRA), Food and Agriculture Organization meeting at Quebec, the Civil Aviation gathering in Montreal, International Labor Organization in Paris, and the Uni­ ted Nations General Assembly Con­ ference in London. It should be evident why the time and effort of Canada’s leaders in Ottawa are so much occupied with world government and its extremely close new tie-up with the main do­ mestic tasks facing the Government in this nation’s capital at the present time. This must be understood prop­ erly for intelligent observation of national ^affairs in this most critical and unprecedented period of world history after World War II. away from home about 3,000 navy personnel, approximately 100.00C army personnel, and about 20,00C air force personnel.

JANUARY MEETING BEACHVILLE W.M.S HONOURS FOR CANADIANS A new Canada Medal and Canada Order seem to be on the way as dis­ tinctive methods for presenting hon­ ours and awards in Ottawa where it is suggested that, before long, such a system of recognition for Canad­ ians may be established and in time replacing all British honours to Can­ adians whose civilians’ list was miss­ ing in the last of such King’s honors at the start of 1946. It is pointed mjt that'the names of civilians were wih- TREND OF THE TIMES It is revealed in this capital that the activities of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Adminis­ tration (UNRRA), in Ottawa con- centrating now mainly in seeking Canadian personnel for work in the Far East has only one significant point and this is that the task of re­ cruiting Canadians to work in Eur­ ope for this international body is almost ended so that only Canadian? qualified for such jobs in the Orient are wanted. There are no other rea­ sons for this change.
