A fine feature in the final stages of the day was when Dr. Turner presented the Champion Church Softball League team consisting of Dorene Simpson, Evelyn Morgan, Geraldine Borthwick, Sally Fleet, Jean McArthur, Donna Simpson, Shirley Pittoek, Helen Adair, Nona Parsons, Jacqueline Sinclair, Madeline Replying to an editorial thatappeared in last week’s Tribune, His Worship, Mayor C. W. Riley writes, that although there have been sev­ eral enquiries from small firms wish­ ing to locate here, owing to the lack of suitable buildings, they have been unable to do so. Also there is the serious drawback in there not being a sewerage system, which pre­ vents large firms locating in Inger­ soll.Mr. Riley states that in conversa­ tions with mayors of other municipal­ ities, he has found the same story. Those places that can offer the re­ quirements secure the industries. Ingersoll voters will have an oppor­ tunity to partially relieve that stag­ nant situation, when the vote on the sewerage project is taken in Sep­ tember.

The pro­ gram commenced at 1 p.m.. when the ladies served a delightfully arranged luncheon to about 75 guests, includ­ ing representatives from the London Presbyterial, ministers, executive members of surrounding Missionary Societies and former members of Dorchester Presbyterian W.M.S. During the luncheon the 60 candles on the beautiful anniversary cake were lit by Mrs, G. Patterson and Mrs. Catherine Sheils, two of the oldest members of the society.

The luncheon was brought to a close with the singing of the National Anthem. The remainder of the program was carried out in the auditorium of the church which was decorated with baskets of delphinium, roses and sweet peas. Mrs. A. Marr, president of the society, presided over the pro­ gram, assisted by Mrs. T. R. Waldie, Mrs. F. O’Neil presided at the organ. The meeting was opened with hymn 74 Mrs. Ralph Woods then gave the Bible reading after which Mrs. H. Frances led in prayer. Mrs.. Harold Marr then gave a very interesting historical sketch of the society since its organization in 1886. The offer­ ing was taken by Mrs. K. McMillan and Mrs. F. Dickey. A memorial service was then con­ ducted by Mrs. J. R. Waldie in hon­ our of all deceased members of the society. Psalm 19 was sung after which a beautiful basket of flowers was placed on the communion1 table in their memory, by Dorothy Marr, president of the Mission Band. A list of the names of the former presi­ dents were read by Mrs. Waldie, fol­ lowed by a minute’s silence and a short prayer. Miss Isobel Hunt then rendered a solo to close the memorial service. Mrs. S. Grosvenor, presi­ dent of St. George’s W.M.S., London, then brought greetings on behalf of the society and the Presbyterial, in her usual capable manner. Hymn 592 was then sung. Mrs. W. C. Wheaton of Port Stan­ ley, president of the Presbyterial, was the guest speaker and delivered a most inspiring address. She visual­ ized the meeting at which the society was organized 60 years ago and the problems with which they were faced and that only by their abounding faith were they enabled to carry on. The tremendous challenge facing the present day members was presented in the fact that the problems of to­ day are even greater than 60 years ago. The fears of the world, the star­ vation in Europe, the crushed con­ gregations, the missionary work yet to be done in China, Africa, and all the war-torn countries, were a few of the many worthy causes men­ tioned. Mrs. Wheaton closed her ad­ dress with an urgent plea for the young people to take an active part in the missionary work to be done, in an effort to carry on in greater expanse the work which was begun by our pioneer members . Mrs. Wheaton left a message not soon to be forgotten in the minds of all who were present. Mrs. A. Mullis and Mrs. J. Robinson, then favored with a pleasing duet. Mrs. William McNiven moved a vote of thanks to everyone taking part and all who helped to make the event such a decided success. Hymn 556 was sung and Rev. JT. R. Waldie closed in prayer.

THAMESFORD CHURCH OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY ’ Gradually the Ingersoll Commun- * ity Recreational Centre is being I organized to meet the needs of the ' people and most noticeable is the in- ' terest shown by the boys of the town. Summer holiday time always ’ gives boys many leisure hours, hours that they do not know what to do with, this is where the Centre is filling this need. Last week without any notification to the boys, 168 attended and en­ joyed each other’s company and the game provided. The Centre is equip­ ped to serve a goodly number more and any boy desirous of learning to play lacrosse, ping pong, crokinole, or spend an hour reading the many books provided, will be welcome. Not only the boys are using the building, but older ones too. Dunng the spring months and early sum­ mer, the Badminton Club used the Centre two nights a week. Later a disking club of ten teams was organized, ready to operate in the early fall and of course there is the regular Friday night dance when the whole town can enjoy music from outstanding bands. The smoothness of the floor and especially the cool­ ness Of the building even on the hot­ test days, has brought pleased com­ ments from the most critical dancers. The Centre is a community build­ ing, owned and operated by the people of Ingersoll and it is the de­ sire of those, in charge that it be used by the people. Any advice and suggestions as to ito programme and operation will be gratefully ceived by any of ito directors. CENTRE PROGRAMME Boys’ days—Monday, Wednesday arid (Saturday morning only.) Girls’ days—Tuesday and Thurs­ day. zAs follows: 9.00-10.30—12 and under. 10.30-12.00—13 and over. 1.30- 3.00—12 and under. 3.00- 5.00—13 and over.

Mt Elgin Mission CircleHeard Fine Address VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL ATTRACTS MANY Special services on Sunday marked the eighty-eighth anniversary of St. John’s Anglican Church, Thames­ ford. This handsome stone church has been a landmark in the district, a tribute to those who planned it, at a meeting held in the nearby grist­ mill in 1861 and to the builders for so well was their work done that only- minor repairs have been neces­ sary in those eighty-five years. The services were in charge of present rector of St. John’s Church, Rev. Sidney W. Semple. At the anniversary services on Sunday morning, Rev. J. H. Geofehe- gan, rector of New St Paul’s Church, Woodstock, preached to a large congregation, many of whom were former members, returned for the occasion. At the evening service, Rev. W. D. Davis of Christ’s Church, Owosso, Michigan, and a former rector of St John’s, delivered a fine sermon to to a congregation that filled all avail­ able spice. Special music was ren- L _ __ _______ dered by the choir, under the direct- jT°rd Deaneries of the Diocese of ion of Mrs. Fred Funnell. Mrs. w /"1 B. Hawkins of London, sank at botB services. tt Owing to their being no room tj> spare in the church, the Thamesford Boys’ Band which also assisted, were located in the parish hall. Following the service, they gave a very fine recital. At the reception held in the parish hall at the close of the recital, a framed collection of photographs of former rectors was unveiled and dedicated by Rev. Mr. Davis, who re­ called many interesting incidents in connection with his rectorship in Thamesford. Dr. Edwin Seaborn of London, son of a former rector of St. John’s, gave pleasure to all by his remini­ scences of the early days, relating the experiences of conducting parish work when settlers were widely scat­ tered and horse-drawn vehicles the only means of conveyance. He told of his father having changed horses fifteen times on a Sunday in order to hold services at more than one point. A huge, beautifully decorated an­ niversary cake centred the refresh­ ment table, which was decorated with candles and flowers from the fine gardens of the community. The anni­ versary cake was cut by Mrs. J. M. Smith, aged 88, the oldest member of the parish, and daughter of John Galpin, a member of the first vestry, from whose farm the stones were gathered for the handsome edifice. Mr. George Dawson, rector’s warden, a lay reader and superintendent of the Sunday School,, also addressed the gathering. St John’s is one of the hand­ somest churches in the district and it is hoped that it may long con­ tinue in its fine work of uplift, the foundations for which were so firmly and faithfully laid. STONE STAFF ENJOY PICNIC AT PT. BURWELL A double chin is not becoming; but it is more to be desired than to be two-faced. A very enjoyable picnic was held yesterday afternoon at Port Bur­ well by the staff of the William Stone Sons Limited plant and office and their families. Two busses and private automobiles took the large crowd to the jficnic grounds, where, during the afternoon a program of sports provided entertainment for all nges. Races, ball games and other games were keenly, but good-natur­ edly contested, with prises awarded to the winners. A bountiful and delicious picnic supper was the climax of the outing which all voted a complete success. re- SUNDAY SCHOOL BY POST EXAMINATION RESULTS The following results of the May sxaminations of the Brant and Ox- pluron have just been released. The examinations are Dominion wide and there were no failures of the pupils. Mrs. Fred Funnell is the sec­ retary of the Diocese Sunday School by Post. Three of the students’ papers have been forwarded to Toronto for entry in the Dominion wide competi­ tion. They are Isabel Williams, George Cole and Ruth Monk. The results of the May exams are as follows: Advanced—Isabel Williams, Lake­side, 83%. Juniors—-Beverly McCreary, R. R. 1, Paris, 53%; Geo. W. Cole, R.

Wilford, of the Parks Commission, who is in charge of allotment of dates for Memorial Park, the follow­ ing information was obtained During July, practically all dates for picnics or family reunions have been filled with only a few vacancies during the month. The number of family reunions, elub and churth picnics has exceeded that of last year. Many of those who have en­ joyed the facilities of the park have reserved dates for next year. The facilities provided include an up-to-date kitchen, ball diamonds, lots of tables and plenty of room for a varied programme of sports. Situated in the centre of the town, the park has been quite an attractive gather­ ing place and the many who have used it for picnics have been loud in their praise of Ingersoll’s hospitality. Victoria Park has been very active with baseball activities, with juvenile and intermediate leagues operating. The park has been kept in exception­ ally fine condition with the assistance of the Ingersoll Turf Club who have put the raee track in such condition that it is claimed to be now among the best in the district. Our own anger does us more harm than the thing which makes us angry. This year’s Vacation Bible School, which is being held at the Pentecostal Tabernacle, is proving a great suc­ cess. Under the direction of Misses Lillian Cowan of Smith’s Falls and Grace Routley of Sarnia, a group of children ranging in age from five to fourteen, gather each morning for instruction in religion, citizenship, sewing and wood work, the former for the girls and the latter for boys. In these days when many families live in crowded quarters, too often the children make the streets their playgrounds. For those children, especially, these classes are of great benefit, as they learn how to em­ ploy their leisure. The classes are open to children of all denominations. LAWN BOWLING A number of Ingersoll Lawn Bow­ lers attended the Oxford County Rink Tournament at Woodstock on Friday evening. The tourney was for the Wilson Trophy, which has been in competition for a great many years and the Ingersoll Club has al­ ways been represented and won the coveted trophy a number of times. It was won this year by a rink skip­ ped by Alf. Robbins of Thamesford, second place going to a Tillsonburg rink skipped by A. Reekie. Ingersoll rinks took third and fourth places among the winners and were composed of George Clifton, J. R. Henley. G. Warden, A. E. Izzard, with 2 wins plus 20 and J. Cross­ well, A. Muterer, C. Matheson, F. Thompson with two wins plus 18. On Monday the regular bonspiel was held with a good attendance of men to enjoy the evening’s bonspiel. Three 8-end games were played with winners as follows: First, T. Huchison and A. War­ ham, fi wins, plus 21; second, W. Ellery and L. Staples, 3 wins plus 20; third, Jas. Milne and Jack Warden, 2 wins plus 10. The Ladies’ Bowling Club had their first night of bowling at the Ann street greens on Tuesday and played doubles. The winning pair was Mrs. P. Desmond and Miss Ethel Simpson, with 3 wins plus 19. It is hoped many more of the ladies who enjoy this sport will join in future evening’s trundling either on Tues­ day or Thursday evenings of each week. She—-“Shall I have your lunch brought up to you here, dear?” He (feebly)—No love, have it thrown straight overboard. It will save time and trouble." On Friday of this week, the tourn­ ament for the W. H. Chambers’ Trophy will be played on the Ann street greens. Doubles is the form of play and up to yesterday there was room for four more entries to make a full entry.

Mrs. D. Alexander, pre­ sident, conducted the meeting. Mias Mary Morrison read the Scripturelesson. *’’ ’* *........................ Prayer. the minutes and called the roll. Mrs. Walter Davis, Mrs. Clayton Mans­ field and Miss Mae Mansfield were also present. As guest speaker, Rev. David Alexander gave an address on the question, “What is the Use of the Christian Church?’’ He said it was a wonder the church persisted when one considered its enemies, and in­ ternal weaknesses. That was proof of its Divine origin. ‘Tis said only 15% of the people of Canada are regular church goers. Only 10% of the folk in London, England, go to church. In Scotland, where at one time nearly everybody went to church, only 25% of the adults attend, while in United States, 40% of the people go to church at least once a day. Some people thought if we all belonged to the one denomin­ ation things would be ideal. That was tried out once and was a com­ plete failure; the unity needed was not the unity of conformity, but the unity of goodwill and generosity, and the spirit of tolerance, which left room for the beauty and fresh­ ness of diversity and native inde­ pendence and freedom. Jesus did not organize the church, He only fore­ saw and predicted its invulnerabil­ ity. The church came into existence on and after the day of Pentecost and it was composed of Jews and Gentiles. It made tremendous pro­ gress in the first three centuries, so much so that Pagan Rome acknow­ ledged its power. In modern times, when Hitler came to power, the Christian Church was the only power that stood bravely in his path and protested and that church represented Luther­ ans, Roman Catholics and Baptists. The church is in this modern world to remind everybody of the creative and redemptive power of Christian­ ity, as summed up in the death of Christ on the Cross. Many churches worry about their numbers, finances and institutions If they would worry about the poor quality of their life and spirit, there would be some hope of a revival of Christianity. People on the outside have a wrong idea of conversion. They think Christianity is solemnity, - isolation, hymn-singing and saying prayers, whereas it is a new life in Christ Jesus, and freedom from the power of sin to grow in likeness to Christ and serve humanity in all aspects of human activity and in­ terest. The speaker went on to say he believed the greatest need was to re-discover the Love of God, for it seems as if the whole world had re­ volted and forgotten the greatest of all facts. Narrowness, bitterness, and petty rivalry between different churches was grotesque and childish; we should be Christian enough and big enough to wish every Christian Church success. The war in Europe had driven Christian people to­ gether. They had held fast and firm to Christ and to-day in Europe great doors of opportunity had opened despite the devastations of war. Rev. Alexander finished his talk by reading to the ladies an uncensored letter from a German plumber in modern Germany, which led him to say he believed of all places or countries in the world to-day Canada with its freedom and resources material and spiritual, was without exception the best country in the the whole wide world in which to live. Mrs. Green served the ladies with a delightful tea at the close of the meeting and it was decided to have an open meeting at the home of Mrs. Alexander on the 15th of August All united in the Lord’s Mrs. Harold Tindale read SUCCESSFUL IN MUSIC EXAMINATIONS Miss Donna M. Wilson has re­ ceived word that she has passed her examinations in Grade 5 Pianoforte for the Toronto Conservatory of Music, held in Woodstock recently. Donna is a pupil of Miss Esther E.

Looking Back— In the — Files of The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario THURSDAY, JULY 18th, 1946 Ontario’s Northland andThe French River It has been said that you cannot trace an out­ line on a map and say, ‘this is Northern Ontario*, for it has no boundaries nor limitations ... no beginning nor any end.” For us, the North has always been -where the lakes begin. The first sight of water as the blue of Lake Simcoe appears through the trees, is intriguing. It is with those glimpses that one feels the first thrill of excite­ ment offered by the Northland. The spirit of adventure seems to be in the air—the very trees are different, leaning towards the south, after years of resistance to winds sweeping down from the Arctic. There is mystery beyond the horizon. The same mystery that has led explorers to push on and on. It is the land where breath-taking beauty meets the eye. Where myriad lakes nestle in a setting of evergreen hills; where nature reigns in majesty and peace, as long as her laws are ob­ served. There are rivers too, in the Northland. Mighty rivers, that dwarf in si^e those of Southern On­ tario. They instill in man humility, that quality of greatness, as they rush and tumble along their course, displaying their terrible and awe-inspiring power. They have removed mountains in their age- long flow. One of the largest and most typical of the North Country is the French River. It has long been recognized as an important highway. Champlain’s canoe followed its path in 1615, as the intrepid explorer worked his way into the unknown. Fur traders have known it well ever since. It conceals many secrets and is steeped in romance. It still fascinates those with a love for the out- of-doors, for adventure. Fishermen and hunters consider the French River District a paradise. Sportsmen cross oceans and continents for a few weeks of its allurement. In scenic beauty it abounds. Its waters abound with fish—bass and muskilonge, pike and pickerel. Hunters find plenty of sport there too. The French River Dis­ trict is a country inspiring respect, even vener­ ation, as it unfolds its charms to those exploring it It is a priceless heritage to Ontario. 36 YEARS AGO Thursday, July 21st, 1910 PERSONALS Miss Beatrice Lynch of Port Robinson, is the guest of her cousin, Miss Viola Lynch.

He has commenced work of tearing down the brick building on Thames street, a few doors north of the post office. On Wednesday, July 20th, at six o’clock in the afternoon, Ethel May, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Pettman of Tillsonburg, was married to Mr. John F. C, Sumner, youngest son of Mr, and Mrs. John Sumner, Harris street, Ingersoll. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. R. J. M. Perkins in Tillsonburg. Little Clara Pettman. cousin of the bride, was flower girl. • Swimming Lessons Are Valuable The children of Ingersoll have a fine opportun­ ity to learn swimming. Classes have been arranged so that all, from tiny tots up, should learn to feel at home in the water. There is a great difference between fear and respect; and that is what a qualified swimming instructor will teach. One never knows when a situation might arise when a person must make their way through water, and everyone should know how. It is as im­ portant as learning how to walk on solid earth. The local Y.MC.A. is rendering a valuable ser­ vice to the community in making swimming lessons available to all. The funeral of the late E. E. Qundass who died at Calgary On July 11th, took place from the resi­ dence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

George Beck, Arthur Craw­ ford, Thos. Dundass, Kenneth Watterworth, A. Macaulay, James Buchanan. SCIENTIST HAS WONRECOGNITION FORHIS CONTRIBUTIONSIt is perhaps a tribute to the genius of the prehistoric agricul­ turist that modem man had not added a single important plant to the list of .those domesticated by his early ancestors. The domestication of plants changed the whole course of human evoluaion, said Dr. W. F. Hanna, Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Winnipeg, in an address on “Scientific Research and the Seed Grower” at the recent ban­ quet given by the Manitoba Pool Elevators to members of the Canad­ ian Seed Growers’ Associaiton, at their 42nd annual meeting at Winni­ peg-In his address, Dr. Hanna traced this evolution on an international scale, with particular reference to Canadian agriculture in its increase of varieties of crops; in its triumphs over the rust problems; and in the efforts to tackle what had yet to be accomplished by the seed grower and the scientist in creating smut, root, and drought resistance in Can­ adian crops. The work of the seed grower and the scientists were in a very real sense complimentary, said Dr. Han­ na. Complete co-operation was neces­ sary to achieve the objective striven for— to improve the quality and roductivity of Canada’s agricultural crops. The seed grower took the product of the scientist, increased it, very often improved it by selection, guarded its quality and purity, and made it available to the farmer. Dr. Hanna explained that the days are gone when the public seemed to regard the scientist or the expert as he was sometimes called as a strange individual with baggy trousers and a beard who ocscasionally emerged 'from the solitude of his laboratory to announce the discovery of a new bug or fungus, or a new chemical compound, all of which seemed of very little practical value. “Of what use is it?” the question was often asked. Then the war came and thefipre- war discoveries of the atomic phy­ sicists made possible the atomic bomb; Penicillin, the new “wonder drug”, saved thousands of lives; DDT, discovered 72 years ago at the University of Strasbourg, is now being manufactured in the United States at the rate of about 3,000,000 pounds per month and probably saved.the world from epidemics of typhus, bubonic plague, and other insect-transmitted diseases; Radar enabled Britain’s fighter planes to seek out and destroy the Luftwaffe If Ion Are N o l a N ol Citizen ion will look after • HIS is not selfishness, but the realization that a community is no better, no sounder than its citizens. The welfare pf our community—Canada—dependsnot alone on those charged with the government of the country, but on each of its citizens—12,000,000 strong. Today, that welfare is menaced by the dangerinflation. Already, millions in lands devasta war suffer misery because of it.

IB 1 The marriage took place Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Cotter, corner of Francis and Albert street, of Miss Osborne Gal­ lagher, daughter of Mrs. Gallagher to Mr. Thomas Parrey Allan of London. Rev. R. J. M. Perkins performed the ceremony. Miss Nora Cotter, niece of the bride, was bridesmaid. The groomsman was Dr. Shoebotham of London. Little Miss Mar­ garet Moore of Hamilton, was flower girl. in 1940 and to detect Nazi submar­ ines through the fog banks of the Atlantic.Overnight, almost, science became of tremendous importance in win­ ning the w*ar, and people recognized that it would be equally important in winning the peace. The question of “What use is it?” was no longer appropriate. The future development of Canada’s great heritage in natural resources is clearly dependent on scientific research. and Jim Burrill, Jack Wilford, Dor­een Stroud.

CRAMPTON will ZENDA One Little Touch of Kindness Charles Wong, a laundryman of St. Thomas, had a large quantity of long unclaimed laundry in his possession, according to the Aylmer Express. On offering *it to the St. Thomas branch of the Canadian’ Red Cross Society, he was asked ■whether he would like it sent to the needy of China. But Mr, Wong has evidently caught the world vision, so sOrely needed by all, and sadly lacking, even by many in high positions; he has no racial prejudices, and expressed the wish that the articles be sent wherever they were most needed. It is not recorded whether he had ever heard of the Good Samaritan. But Charles Wong the Good Chinaman, has set an example, which, if followed, would do more for the peace of the world than countless conferences. 11 YEARS AGO Thursday, July 18th, 1935 Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Waterhouse and daughters, Margaret and Mary are occupying a cottage at Port Burwell. , Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Westcott and Mr. and Mrs. Blair Walker left Saturday on a motor trip to Ottawa, Montreal and Lake Placid, N.Y. Mrs. James Boles of Toronto is spending the summer at her cottage, Port Burwell and has her daughter, Mrs. H. Clark and Mr, Clark as her guests. Another Crossing on the Front Street Is Needed. Jay-walkers are a trial to motorists almost beyond the point of endurance. To keep one’s head while driving on the front street of Inger­ soll must try even the strongest of nerves. Pedes­ trians are likely to dart from behind parked cars at any minute. Cyclists zigzagging from side to side, do not make things easier for the motorist either. For the jay-walkers there is a slight excuse. To begin with, the block between Charles' and King streets, is fairly lohg and a certain amount of time would be used if one always went to the intersection to cross; also for many years, until the paved road was laid, there was a cement walk across th6 street, about midway up the block. That was a convenience, and it kept the street­ crossing traffic fairly well centralized, for people formed the habit of crossing at that point. Since the laying of the paved road, no particu­ lar crossing has been marked, with the result that pedestrians choose their own. Two crossings, one for east, the other for wejtbound pedestrians, could be outlined with white paint, and .if people were compelled to use those, a good deal of con­ fusion on the front street might be relieved. Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Horton, Oxford street, were host and hostess on Friday evening for a recept­ ion and shower given their son Allan and his bride, who were recently married in Pcnse, Sask. The hostess was assisted in serving refreshments by Mrs. Jack Horton and Mrs. Alfred LeFalve. The funeral of the late Mrs, J. C. Hegler who passed away early Wednesday morning, was held from her late residence, King street west ,on Fri­ day afternoon, service being conducted by Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner, minister of St. Paul’s Presby­ terian Church. Interment was made in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery and the pallbearers were Messrs. J. L. Paterson, R. A. Paterson, James Cuthbert, J. J. McLeod, A. O. Murray and Dr. J. M. Rogers. Are finders keepers! Not always. Most people are honest, and will return anything that doesn't belong to them, just as soon as they find who the true owner is. No matter what you find, .if you think it’s of value to the original owner, run a want-ad about it in your newspaper, offering to return it to the owner upon proper identification and payment for the want-ad.

THE CANADIAN LEGION TOLERANCE This applies to “That fellow is a greater strate­ gist than Napoleon ever was. “As to how?” “He got a two dollar raise of sal­ ary a year ago and hasn’t told his wife about it yet” The finest contribution the Can­ adian Legion can make to humanity in the uncertain years ahead is to remain ever vigilant for tolerance and religious liberty. It is needed more today than ever before. And the Canadian Legion cannot crusade for tolerance unless the Legion it­ self is tolerant every component part of the Le­ gion’s whole structure. We have proudly proclaimed to the world that the Legion knows no economic, racial or political ties or creeds. These words must be trans­ lated into deeds as a proof of toler­ ance. Amid the heated passions of war­ time, when anger and hatred burned abroad, it was particularly important that we in the Legion should remain cool when confronted by the foes of justice. The greatest of these foes is intolerance — unwillingness to i treat fairly persons of all races, all 1 creeds, all colours. Fighting under the Union Jack were men of virtually, every race and creed. There was no class or race distinction in our fighting forces. No such distinctions should be made on the home front When, they are in evidence the Legion should be the first to stamp them out The Canadian Legion, created by men who fought all,forms of intoler­ ance in time of war, is an organiza­ tion of great influence. The Le­ gion can be no stronger than its weakest link. One of the hallowed shrines for every Legionary in the British Em­ pire is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier—a man known but to God. No living mortal can testify whether he is a Jew, Gentile, Negro or of any other race. We honour him as a soldier who gave his life in the cause of world understanding and tolerance. The Canadian Legion has always maintained that bigotry and race hatred have no place in Can­ adian life. “They served till death! Why not we?” For the Legion to be a party to any act of intolerance; for the Le­ gion to sanction any such act by passive approval, is out of all ac­ cord with the principles to which the Legion is dedicated. One of the greatest evils that could befall our great onganzation is for the men and women on our global fronts to fear that the Le­ gion stands for Canadianism in word, but not in deed. There can be Canadiansm without lasting tolerance. Baseball is such a curious game observed the puzzled foreigner. "When that man they call the umpire said ‘Safe’ he became at once in great personal danger.” “Marriage” said the serious man, “is an education in itself..’ “Yes,” comented old Grouch, “it teaches you what not to do after you’ve done it.” Amount paid to plant employees ..... . 4&OUBLED Income Tax payments ......

SALFORD UNITED SUNDAY SAGE FAMILY REUNIONSCHOOL HELD PICNIC day Sixty members of the Sage family gathered in reunion at Memorial Park, Ingersoll, on Saturday. For the past five years the gatherings have not been held, so interest and enthusiasm were keen as the old ties were once more taken up. As a be­ ginning to an afternoon filled with pleasure, a bountiful dinner was served at noon. Following this a short business meeting was conduct­ ed by the president, Gordon San­ dick. It was decided to carry on with the picnic and to hold it at the same place again next year. Officers were elected as follows: President—Gordon Sandick. Vice-President—Percy Sage. Secretary-Treasurer— Betty Budd. Management Committee—Mr. and Mrs. Pete Jellous, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Peers, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Nichols and Mr. and Mrs. C. Merrill. Sports Committee—W. W. Budd. ’ After a minute’s silence for those who had passed away since the last reunion, there were short speeches by Wm. Cook, Clair Peers and W. J. Nichols. Salford — An ideal July brought nearly one hundred members of Salford United Sunday School to the beautiful setting of Southside Park, Wo°datock» £or their annual picnic. The appetizing dinner was made complete with the luxury of ice cream, which has not been so abundantly available during these past year. The superintendent, Harley McBeth, had a very capable sports committee carry out an enjoy­ able program of contests, consisting of Percy and Mary Gill, Helen Wil­ son, Glen and Jean Topham, and Murray and Jean McBeth.

BUTTER PRODUCTION HAS REACHED PEAK The peak production of butter for Ontario for the year 1946 appears to have been reached during the third week in June according to a summary of creamery instructors' reports issued by C. E. Lackner, Director of the Ontario Branch. While some sections had their peak a week earlier, the hot weather of the last week of the month had the effect of curtailing the peak season. Despite excellent pasture and pro­ duction conditions generally, says Mr. Lackner, the peak did not quite reach the levels of that of a year ago. although quite a number of plants report production for this time of year equal to that of last year. When it became evident that June production was not going to exceed that of last year, the butter market firmed considerably, rising a full cent a pound between the first and the last of the month. Because of the difficulty in obtaining supplies last winter, it appears tha t many plants are endeavouring to guard against a repetition and are storing all their surplus. Supplies reaching the larger centres were smaller and just sufficient to take care of cur­ rent needs. While cream prices were dropped during the first part of the month, the rise in butter prices wasreflected in a rise in crjfam prices toward the end of June, particularly Western Ontario. The butter quality competitions this year are more keenly contested than ever, with a large percentage of the competitors having little or no undergrade butter to date. Based on grading returns, Ontario is pro­ ducing the highest quality of butter in years, and is a full ten per cent better than last year. ___ immedi-Eds chicks— Sckcrels.

CRO 1SI F INSURANCE PHONE 273 INGEiqpLL AGENT NAGLE Pbo». 333 Newman Home A new variety of potato which promises to have resistance to the very destructive and dreaded dis­ ease of bacateria! ring rot is being tested in various parts of Ontario this year, reports R. E. Goodin, ^Potato Fieldman for the Ontario De­ partment of Agriculture. This var­ iety is known as “Teton.” A quan­ tity of seed was obtained by the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture from officials of the Department of Agriculture in Wyoming, U.S.A., early in the season and it is now under very thorough test. The quantity obtained was divided in order that several testa might /be'’ made in different parts of the Prov­ ince under varied conditions. Disease resistance is being further investi­ gated by Dr. G. H. Berkley, Domin­ ion laboratory of Plant Pathology, St. Catharines; H. N. Raciot, Divis­ ion of Botany and Plant Pathology, Dominion Experimental Farm, Ot­ tawa and Prof. E. Garrard, Bacter­ iology Department, O.A.C., Guelph. Nine selected potato growers in the counties of Durham, North Simcoe, Ontario, South Simcoe, Brant, Wat- ,erloo and Middlesex are trying the j new variety under actual growing (conditions in their fields. Observa- (tions will be closely followed ' throughout the season and accurate . yield figures taken at harvest time, j Mr. Goodin reports. Information on the spraying and dusting of potatoes, based on the latest tests with DDT and other materials, is contained in a state­ ment issued /jointly by Prof. R. W. Thompson, Provincial Entomologist, O.A.C., Guelph, and K. Richardson, Plant Pathologist, Dominion Labora­ tory,. St. Catharines. According to this statement, potatoes should be sprayed or dusted every 7 to 10 days from the time the plants are six to eight inches high untli the tops either ripen naturally or are killed by frost. With such a schedule all new growth is kept covered as soon as it develops. Only foliage thus cov­ ered, is protected against insect and disease attack throughout the season. The report then goes on to give thefollowing details: “When you spray to protect pota­ toes from diseases and insects use either Bordeaux 4-4-40 or some other tested, reliable fungicide. To each 40 gallons add one pound of 50% DDT wettable powder. In case of other than 50% DDT being used, enough must be added to giye half a pound of actual DDT in each forty gallons of spray. Apply the combin­ ation spray for diseases and insects at about 100 gallons per acre per application. Good agitation in the tank is necessary to keep the DDT well mixed in the spray solution at all times. “When you dust use a combination mixed copper-3 % DDT dust and apply at the rate of 25 to 50 pounds per acre. Never use DDT with cop­ per-lime dust because the lime in this form destroys the effectiveness of the DDT. In either sprrys or dusts where DDT is used, no other poison such as lead or calcium arsen­ ate should be added. The DDT will give good control of all common po­ tato insects. “Disease and insect control costa far less than many other items in potato production, and yet gives much bigger returns per dollar out> lay.Control, however, can be ob­ tained only by following rigidly adefinite porgramme of sprays and dusts. Other work should never be allowed to interfere with this spray­ ing and dusting. A casual stroll along Thames street south at any hour of any day of the week must elicit forth appre­ ciation of Smith’s Pond and what it means to the young people of the town both for swimming and boat­ ing. The only one left of Ingersoll’s original five ponds, Smith’s has been a boon to many during the recent hot spell. It gives an indication of the great advantage it would be to the town if a dam could be constructed on the Thames river to form a small lake. The Thames Valley Project might include something of the sort if local interests are stressed by our repre­ sentatives on the committee dealing with that project. OXFORD COUNTY NATIVE PASSES AT ST.

Blackberries, gooseberries, crab apples, tart apples, quinces and cranberries jell easily. 2. Cherries, strawberries, peaches, pears and rhubarb require a pec­ tin or jel-rich combination to give the best results. For example use one part of one of the fruit* list­ ed in No. 1 to 2 parts of one at fruit* listed in No. 2. Or a com­ mercial pectin can be dsed. 3. Fruit should not be over-ripe and should be carefully cleaned. Meas­ ure all ingredient* or weigh fruits and sugar. 4. Jelly should be boiled rapidly Use a large preserving kettle to prevent boil-overs and stir con­ stantly. 5. A jelly thermometer assures you of a good jelly or jam and pre­ vents reduction of the amount by too much evaporation. This handy device is hung inside as liquid begins to boil and when it records 220 degrees, it is time to pour. 6. You always skim jelly as the liquid boils. 7. When you use commercial pectin follow the instructions on package explicitly. BLACKBERRY JAM 4 lbs. blackberries 3 lbs. of granulated sugar Juice of one lemon. Look over blackberries carefully, and wash if it seems advisable. Put blackberries and sugar together in a preserving kettle, mix and let stand for about*'' 15 mins., or until the juice is partially extracted. Then cook gently uncovered, stirring often, until a few drops of the jam will thicken on a cold plate. Add straied lemon juice and cook for 5 minutes longer. Let stand a few moments and skim; then stir before ladling into "hot sterilized jars. Cover at once with a thin film of hot par­ affin; when cold, pour more very hot paraffin around the edge of the top of jar—tip and tilt the jar, to seal carefully.

Lyn agreed wholeheartedly.Thursday night being "Cook’sNight Out” in the city, it was the biggest night of the week at theDriving Club; and tonight Lyn andAnn found a great many of theirfriends having dinner there. Sarahhad telephoned a few intimatefriends, after giving the notice of Ann’s and Lyn’s engagement »othe society editors of the two dallypapers, and of course these friendshad telephoned more friends; sowhen Ann and Lyn came in, theywere greeted by a pleasant flurry of congratulations and goodwishes, and it was very gay Indeed.It was close to midnight whenshe and Lyn were beginning arhumba that she looked up andsaw Tracy Driscoll and Lissa Mar­ ven in the doorwayThe two stood for a moment,framed in the doorway. And Annthought wryly that Lissa was thekind of person who practised en­ trances at home.Lissa was seductively lovely inher favorite powder-blue, a semi-formal gown that was suavely cutand that showed the lines of anexcellent designer. Tracy, in a dark Tuxedo, was big and rangy anddisturbingly vital looking.Some eager swain claimed Lissafor a dance. Tracy smiled gra­ciously. and went on standing !n the doorway, his eyes sweeping the room; until they met Ann’s andthen he began threading his waythrough the '’ancers with a pur­posefulness that brought him to Lyn; he smiled at Ann, tapped Lynlightly and said. "How about cut­ting in. old man?"Lyn looked angry but gave waywith what grace he could muster, and as Tracy took Ann into hisarms and their steps merged intoa smooth, flowing rhythm, belooked down at her and saidgrimly, “So this is the way be nought you off!”Ann caught her breath and stiff­ ened in his arms, her eyes blazingas she looked up at him."Smile, Pretty Thing, smile,”urged Tracy softly. "Or people willtalk about you—and while you can afford that. I doubt/ if Frazier can!”Ann stepped from his arms andthrough the open French door tothe moonlit terrace. And Tracy,perforce, followed."I don’t know why you followed me here tonight—" Ann beganfreezingly, but Tracy's little shortlaugh silenced her."My dear girl, you flatter your­self," he said in a tone that made her feel five years old and far from bright "Lissa and I had dinnertogether and Lissa had a yen to godancing.*’Ann drew a deep breath andclenched her hands at her side, and said coolly, "So you, came tothe club to dance—then why bother to Insult me? You haveample opportunity for that at theoffice.”Tracy said, unexpectedly gentle, "You poor infant I’m not tryingto insult you. I’m just trying to—advise you of the score. You'resuch a wide-eyed innocent littlething that I hate to see Frazierpull the wool over your eyes—**"I think I shall have to ask you to explain that” Ann cut in hotly."I - meant to, of course,” saidTracy mildly. "I think that Fraz­ier’s using you to cover up theBarton mess is about as low a thingas I've ever known a heel to pull­end I don't want to see him get away with it. Is that simple enough foryou to nnderstand?"’•There isn't any Barton mess,”she said slowly and distinctly, be­cause if she didn’t speak slowly her words would have blurred and run into tears. "And—I've alwaysexpected to marry Lyn. ever sincewe were children together—”He hesitated and in the moon­light she could see that his brows were drawn together in a little puz­ zled frown and that puzzle coloredhis voice when he answered her atlast, "D'you know, I can’t under­stand why I should give a tinker’sdam what happens to you—and yet, believe it or not, I do caret Isn'tthat the damnedest thing?” "It certainly is!” Ann assured him frostly. But the craziest thingwas happening to her inside. Shewas furious with him, outraged andhumiliated by wbat he bad im- - "I don’t know why you followed plied; and yet—there was a littlewarm, contented feeling in her heart that this man should be so concerned about her."You see," he told her slowly,obviously feeling for words withwhich to phrase a thought so newto him that the words were slow to come, “I’ve always given a- loud raucous laugh at the thought uffeeling •protective’ towards a wom­an; in my book, women are adarned sight smarter about lookingout for themselves than men;women are tougher and more resilient; and yet when I saw thatitem for the morning edition, inwhich your grandmother an­nounced your engagement, I sud­denly knew that it musn't end in marriage!” "If you’ve quite finished—” Annwas keeping her voice frosty by areal effort"Oh, but I haven’t! I haven'treally begun!” he assured her warmly. "Frazier's affair with the Barton lady is well known abouttown, there’s been a lot of gossip;of course his announcement of hisengagement to you will throw abit' of dust into people’s eyes—it might even do a spot of white­washing—and boy, can he use it!But you’re loo sweet and lovely,too fine a girl to be used that way!So—I don't propose to permit itI have nlans for vou—” "You have plans tor me?" snegasped, incredulous.He looked down at her as thoughpuzzled."Well, certainly I have plans foryou—who else would have better ones?" he demanded, irritated at the question.Ann drew a long, hard breathand was able to say at last, coolly,almost insolently, as though withs hint of amusement, "You would not by any chance be—proposingto me, Mr. Driscoll?”He stared at her sharply.“Proposing to you?” he repeateddazedly. "Well, it sounded a little like abuild-up to something of the sort,”she admitted and now there wasthe smallest possible suggestion ofbreathless laughter in her voice."Oh good Lord, no!” he cried, shocked and appalled at the verythought, taken too completely bysurprise even to mask his shockand the fact that the suggestionwas a most unattractive "What a crazy ideal Just becauseTm trying to keep you from mak­ing a fool of yourself—that doesn'tmean I want you to make more ofone by marrying me!”She couldn't control the expres­ sion that swept over her face and Tracy said, contrite, dismayed,“Oh, now, see here, Clayton—Ididn't mean that the way it sound­ed! I’d—why. I’d be honored and—and everything—if you’d marry me, of course—if it were possible. But the truth of the matter is—if I marry at all, which is highly un­likely, the way I feel at the mo­ment, it will have to be Lissa.”It seemed to Ann that she stood there, very still, while the yearsand yean of shame and humilia­tion poured over her. She had beenfluttering of heart and lilting ofvoice, and to her own amazementshe had been a little breathless with tlie thought that Tracy Dris­coll was in love with herl She hadbetrayed herself to him—and toherself, because she had notdreamed until this moment that shecared at all for Tracy. •Tm—well, I’m sorry as thedickens—” Tracy began unhappily.But Ann cut in hotly, "And wellyou should be! You—you've beeninsulting and—and—outrageous and you should be ashamed of yciaself.It’s certainly no affair of yours who I marry—”"No, of course not,” Tracy ad­mitted with a humility that all butset her back on her heels. "But—don’t let it be Frazier, Ann—please don't He’s—well, he’s a complete heel—” **l’d appreciate it a whole beckof a let if you’d shut up!” blazedAnn elegantly, and was hot withembarrassment and humiliation. She turned and ran blindly awayfrom him. Lyn seemed to understand Ann’s needhershortwhen thesaid withfor here tonight.’* silence so she regained while he drove thesilence. But porte-cochere, hefinality that left no room "I'm coming in. one. Ann.”"It’s — pretty late,” she stam­mered, because she didn’t want totalk to him any more. There were things in her heart that she had tothink about, even though she didnot want to."Don’t be coy," ordered Lynstoutly. "It's only a little past mid­ night.” He slipped a hand beneath herelbow and walked her up the stepsand into the house. The living­room was empty of human pres­ence, but it still held signs of Sar­ah’s and Dr. Moseby’s activities. The chess table was still in place,a half-completed problem set outon it. There was a silver tray ofsandwiches and a thermos of deli­ciously hot coffee awaiting on a side table for Lyn and Ann.Because their waiting tray andthermos Jug was a part of theiraccustomed routine, Lynn wentstraight to it, poured two cups of coffee, put a couple of sandwiches on plates and came back to whereAnn sat in a corner of the oldbrocade-covered Chesterfield.He gave her a plate, and a cup: ne sat down oesiae ner, sampled the coffee and then said grimly."All right, let's have it, Ann. Whatwere you and Driscoll bickeringabout?”Ann tried to say gaily, “Oh, for Heaven’s sake, don't make me talk shop, Lyn! I loathe it."The coffee was too hot and sheswallowed it too fast and tears cfpain were In her eys.Lyn said quietly, "Then he was jawing you because he didn't turnup a nice little scandal for hismuck-raking sheet in which JulieBarton and I would figure promi­nently! I suspected as much." Ann said quietly, "Lyn. I've told you before: Tracy Driscoll wantsmy job for Lissa Marven—*’"And he’ll stop at nothing to ac­complish that?" Lyn finished theremark for het. "I thought thatwas about it. Your failure to turn up a story will be used as a wedgeto fire you—is that it?”She hesitated a moment andthen she said uneasily, "We-ell,no, I don’t think so. He didn’t say anything about firing me to­ night—” "After all, sweet,” said Lyn, "youcan’t go on working for that guy! sHe’s—well, he’s a rank outsider—if you want me to be vulgar about it, he’s a damned roughneck! Hecouldn’t even begin to understand "And you do?” suggested Ann,with a little dim twinkle that was the best she could manage underthe circumstances."I can't stand the thought of youworking for that guy Driscoll,” saidLyn, "his ordering you around—bawling you out—I can’t take the thought of it, angel.***"But I’ve got to work,” shepointed out evenly,“No, you don’t, Ann,” he pro­tested almost sharply. "You can marry me tomorrow, if you win.Td like it a whole hell of a lot, Imight add! And we could managethe grocery bill without your hav­ing to take orders from Driscoll!It’s wily the grocery bin you’re working for — you admitted asmuch. And you couldn't evenmanage the grocery bill if it werenot for Andrew's garden and thecow and the chickens—see how well I know you, darling? Your life andaffairs are an open book to me!”Her silence seemed to encourageLyn and he went on, his tone warm, eager, persuasive. “We could goon living here with Sarah—I know you wouldn’t want to go away andleave her alone. The only thing is—it’s a make-believe engagement,angel-face—but it couldn’t be amake-believe marriage, on account of I'm in love with you. But—I’d take awfully good care of you and—if it’s any added inducement, youwouldn't have to be under Driscoll's. heavy thumb any more!" ITO BE CONTINUED) I am hot throwing Oscars over my left shoulder but one must go this week to “The Macleod Gazette'*, not only for beautiful illustrations but clear printing. The front page features a reproduction of Macleod Hospital, the other illustrations were excellent. What marvellous changes have taken place in the graphic arts in the last few years! Competition is a powerful incen­ tive. I wtfnder where our town and city papers would have been if they had been owned by the government. The chances are they would have been as sombre as the "Labor Gaz­ ette". Competition is, at times, annoying but it gives us more for our dollars, provides us with a richer world. Mention of Macleod makes me think not only of the town itself but of the whole Crow’s Nest Country. My first trip to that area was in ’ "September, 1906. It was delightful weather, sunshine and soft winds with light clouds, here and there, casting shadows which chased each other for a time and were gone. I wondered then what heaven was for when, once in a while, a man may squander a few days in a country like that, doing nothing, simply looking at it.• • • The British Labor Party has a dif­ ficult job, the position of a radical party is always difficult. The fel- ow’ travellers, from the Commun­ ist side, persistently encroach. They want to join up, so that they may bore more freely from within. The official party must throw them back —not so violently as to offend their own “Left”, nor to raise doubts in the minds of the “Centre”, those who voted "Labor” because they wanted a change but were at heart left wing Conservatives or Liberals —not far to the left. In no country is there a more un­ certain equipoise in the distribution of power. How strangely the voters act, or should I say how freely? They elected Lloyd George after the first Great War, pitched out Church­ ill on the afternoon of an earth shaping victory of which he was the architect—now they wait and watch. There are some things the Labor Party cannot do, some things it will not do. The people of Britain were told before the last election that the Labor Party could get along with the Communist Government of Russia, much better than could the Conservatives. Now there is doubt Molotov does not throw his arms about Bevin or Attlee. Russia showed evidence of friendship for Britain some time ago—there is aloofness now. Rarely does Russia express its views, it obscures them. The smile of today may be the frown of to­ morrow. In dealing with Commun­ ist Governments we wait and hope. Give me the best sentene you ever read. What do I mean? Simply this: What sentence comes to your mind when I ask that question? A sentence may be too limited—then give me an arresting statement, something which, for” some reason, you re-^ member. Years ago I read this: "The soft snow was falling, on the city like a blanket, on the gaol like a shroud.” It came from T.B.R. a brilliant writer of the Winnipeg Free Press. Why should that sentence remain through the years? It had feeling in it. There’s another, some­ thing like it in the 11th chapter of St John’s Gospel, verse 35. . I asked a friend the question I now ask you: He is a journalist, an analytical one, a man who not only writes but sees and sees clearly. He quote this from Joe E, Atkinson, President of the Toronto Star, a man who has made history in the publish­ ing business. It was a remark made to one of his best reporters: “It isn’t the writing that counts—it’s the seeing.” That’s a wonderful sen­ tence. To see all is to know all, I SALFORD in the Desert”. The W.

When the young learn to see, then they will begin to feel and with seeing and feeling will come the capacity to write, to speak, perhaps to under­ stand. , • • • Writing of seeing, what do you think of this? It’s a paragraph from "The Wind in the Willows”, written by Kenneth Grahame. It’s really a book for children but for grown people too, those who want to under­ stand. "The rapid nightfall of mid­ December had quite beset the little village as they approached it on soft feet over a first thin fall of powdery snow. Little was visible but squares of a dusky orange-red on either side of the street, where the firelight or lamplight of each cottage over­ flowed through the casement into the dark world without. Most of the low latticed windows were innocent of blinds, and to the lookers-in from outside, the in­ mates, gathered round the tea table, absorbed in handiwork, or talking with laughter and gesture, had each that happy grace which is the last thing the skilled actor shall capture—the natural grace which goes with perfect uncon­ sciousness of observation. Moving at will from one theatre to an­ other, the two spectators, so far from home themselves, had some­ thing of wistfulness in their eyes as they watched a cat being stroked, a sleepy child picked up and huddled off to bed, or a tired man stretch and knock out his pipe at the end of a smouldering log.” BEACHVILLE Mrs. William Force was a London visitor on Tuesday.Vera Dennis who has .been a visit­ or at the home of his uncle, Charles Matheson and Mrs. Matheson, left on Wednesday evening for his home in Leney, Sask.The J. 0.

Its presence is dreaded in any agricul­ tural area. The Japanese beetle is not an old- timer in Canada, as it only made its first appearance here in 1940, when it was discovejpd at Niagara Falls. In 1941 it appeared at Windsor. Some local gardeners are of the opinion that it has been seen in Ing­ ersoll It is a safe practice to des­ troy any beetle or insect, that appears in a garden, excepting only the Ladybird, which is useful in des­ troying other insects. About one-half inch long, the Japanese beetle is shaped somewhat like the common potato beetle. It is bronze-green in appearance, due to the blending of the coppery-shaded wing covers with the metallic green of its head and underbody. On each side, just below the wing, are five white spots or hair clusters, and two slightly larger ones at the tip of the abdomen. If still in doubt about the identity of the beetle, one should send any specimens to the agricultural repre­ sentative for Oxford County, G. R. Green. This is a campaign in which everyone is vitally interested, and all are urged to co-operate in ridding Canada of this menace to her agri­ cultural wealth. Eternal vigilance is necessary against,anything that can carry potential crop destruction in a few insect eggs concealed in a ■mall amount of soil dinging to im­ plants, roots or vegetable.

This has become known in Ottawa where it is pointed out that the population boost would be over 62,000 war brides and children when this is accomplished.

SAID IN THE CAPITAL “If it isn’t listed, it isn’t under the ceiling,” said in Ottawa Donald Gor­ don, chairman, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, in referring to new order listing all goods considered to be under price control in Canada . . . "When all is said and done, the ob­ jectives of our national stabilization program are the preservation of real social values, the protection of the value of real wages, of the real in­ comes of primary producers, of the real value of the income of pension­ ers and teachers and office workers and of' the wartime savings of so many millions of Canadians,” de­ clared Rt. Hon. J. L. Ilsley in Par­ liament . . . ‘Let us not be unduly dismayed by the trouble and turmoil in the world of to-day," stated Pre­ mier Mackenzie King. “What else could be expected as the aftermath of the appalling hatred and strife of recent years?” . . . "Canadian food products will be in demand for a long time,” declared Hon. D. L. Campbell, Minister of Agriculture for Manitoba in an interview in this capital. WEEKLY WIND-UPS While tourist trade may be affected adversely in certain parts of Canada by the parity of the Can­ adian and American dollar, yet it is stated in Ottawa that buyers from the United States may be plentiful since the price control system is much tighter in this country and prices generally lower for certain cbmmodities . . . Investigation into irregularities in the handling of food ration coupons in some branches of the Banquet Provinciate are con­ tinuing, it is teamed here . . . The matter of filling posts of high diplo­ matic standing in Britain, Australia and South Africa, are dependent in some measure on transfers in the Canadian diplomatic corps . . . Can­ adians who did “underground”1 work will get veterans’ rights and benefits since the veterans’ Affairs Commit­ tee of the House of Commons has approved a draft bill to give such benefits and rights to 51 “special operators” who were dropped into Europe to do such dangerous work, with the .remark that a considerable number of them were kilted . . . Re­ construction Minister Howe has said in Ottawa that “if somebody will give us $50,000,000 for Polymer Cor­ poration, we will sell’It,” this refer- has kept the price to Canadian family consumers within certain ceilings. PRISON COMMISSION Members . of- the Saskatchewan Prison Commission have been in Ottawa working on a report which they anticipate will probably be measuring 'means for all provinces in the forming of penal institutions. This Commission was appointed by the Government of Saskatchewan to examine penal institutions o (reform­ atories in Saskatchewan, New York, California, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Ohio, etc. During their stay in this capital, they interviewed the new Federal Commissioner of Peniten­ tiaries, Maj.-Gen. Ralph Gibson. It is believed that their report will be given to the Saskatchewan Govern­ ment probably in September. It must be reported that there is no small degree of concern back- stage in this capita] about the poss­ ible length of this session on account of the huge list of tasks still facing the legislators before it can be closed, even eliminating that nothing unexpected may turn up to delay proceedings oi the House of Com­ mons, though such an eventuality is possible, of course. In addition to bills or resolutions on the order paper already, the chief item of busi­ ness is, of course, the budget. But it is only one task and there remains to be passed a considerable volume of estimates. Then there are bills dealing with veterans’ affairs, pre­ dicted to be twelve, and other bills arising from reports of committees. Furthermore, there are bills respect­ ing the financing of the C.N.R.; amending the Criminal Code; amending the Immigration Act, con­ sequent upon the Canadian Citizen­ ship Act; Department of National Defence; Canadian Broadcasting Act; Canadian Information Service; Federal District Commission Act; Toronto Harbours Commissioners; Merchant Seamen’s compensations; National Housing Act Militia Pen­ sion Act; ratifying of Canada-Uni-. ted Kingdom Tax Agreements; Can­ adian War Crimes Regulations; and others. Obviously, even this short outline of the tasks confronting the present session of Parliament indicates be­ yond a shadow of a doubt that it is an extremely lengthy programme still to be handled so that it would be no surprise if something is not done soon to expedite the business of the House, though the Govern­ ment has taken great pains to make it clear that it favours a speed up of proceedings but it is not anxious to shorten the business of this session, nor to cause it to be pressed on unduly. PREPARING FOR CONFERENCE Arrangements are being made for a preparatory committee, of which Canada is a member, to meet in Lon­ don on Oct 15th, 1946, “so that a further constructive step may be taken towards freeing the productive forces of the world”, by, the Uni­ ted Nations. This has been made known in Ottawa by Premier Mac­ kenzie King. He disclosed that the suggested basis of discussion will be as fol­ lows: international agreement rein­ ing to the achievement and mainten­ ance of high and stable levels of em­ ployment and economic activity, to regulations, restrictions and discrim­ inations affecting international trade; to restrictive business prac­ tices; to international agreement re­ lating to intergovernmental commod­ ity arrangements; establishment of an international trade organization as a specialized agency of the United Nations. Owing to the scope and complexity of the preparatory work necessary before the international conference on trade and employment can be held itself, the conference may not take place until next year and negotiations relating to tariff changes will it is hinted, be held early in 1947. SENSATIONAL MEASURES Resulting from “rapid deteriora­ tion of price control in the United States”, the Minister of Finance, Rt. Hon. J. L. Ilsley, has announced that the Canadian Government has taken four steps to “maintain order, stability and independence”, in this nation's economic ' and financial affairs, including adjustment to par­ ity of Canada and the American dol­ lar; clear listing of all goods now under "ceilings” which involve all articles really of significance in normal household budget; radid con­ trol of markups (profits) on imports not eligible for price controlling sub­ sidies so that henceforth all imported goods of a certain kind subject to price controlt unless dealt with on another basis, will be priced on im­ porter’s landed costs, plus-prescribed maximum markup in each case which a vital part in the continuance of our sity,-fail if its measures do not receive the ' “TOURIST CAMP* Where Good Neighbours Meet • Maine . . . and you're the license plate Canada during year, with the water- come iney came because them Nature—an spalled They come to revel in of the outdoors which we are prone to take too much travels and during their stay here ■pend forms the basis of industry, bringing an measure of prosperity to all of us. any asset, the tourist industry must protected.

WEEKLY BROADCAST FROM JASPER LODGE Jasper, Alta.—Arrangements have been made with the Canadian Broad­ casting Corporation for carrying every Thursday evening the program of Len Hopkins and his Jasper Park Lodge orchestra. The program will be carried over the Dominion net­ work from 8.00 to 8.30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Len Hopkins’ orchestra is an old favorite with Canadian radio listen­ ers as they have been broadcasting twice a week for several years from the Chateau Laurier. Hopkins is noted for his dance music timing and his band of eleven pieces is made up of specialists from various parts of Canada. The broadcasts will consist of ball room music from the Lodge. Mr. Hopkins organized this band in 1938 and has played regularly at the Chateau Laurier ever since.

Wilford I have a scheme so brilliant,so subtle, that to be acceptedneeds but to be read. I gofurther, even those who read as I write, at the moment, with tongue in cheek—because I know no other place to put it—must accept it after a second reading. Glance momentarily at the back­ ground. Few would question the competence or sincerity of our Fed-1 eral Minister of Agriculture. He knows not only his onions but his pigs, steers and wheat He is a far­ mer, a good one, and a first class Minister of Agriculture. The Minister of Labor has a dif­ ficult task. The test of a man is re­ sults. The pay of the worker is higher today than ever before. This too may be said of the fanner. There is, however, a difference. The wage rate of labor never comes down. Labor in time of depression in the immortal words of Sam Gom- pers “takes its punishment in unem­ ployment" It never lowers its wage rates. Farm prices on the other hand are mercurial, they rise sharply in time of boom, if there is no Prices Bond to anchor them, drop drastic­ ally in depressions. The earnings of labor depend on production. If production goes up, earnings increase. If production de­ clines, earnings fall. It’s as natur­ al as sunrise and sunset No cabinet minister, no matter how competent he may be in pulling live bunnies out of empty hats can do anything about it In 1910, labor, in Canada, re­ ceived in salaries and wages a sum equal to 20.7% of the gross value of products produced. In 1938 it had 21.2%. In 1943, in the midst of vfar, when everything tended to increase wage rates, its share was 22.8%, a relatively trifling increase. Working longer hours, much longer in 1910, the average factory worker produced products valued at $2,- 263. In 1943 he produced products valued at |7,000. Labor owes much to the efficiency of capital. Im­ proved machines made higher earn­ ings possible. During depressions real wage rates, rarely fall, payrolls always do. Those employed have higher real earnings, the unemployed are on re­ lief. During a depression farm earn­ ings fall to starvation lows, labor those at work, through reduced costs of living have higher real earnings. Thdy profit from the farmer’s poor luck. The position of the unem­ ployed is tragic—unemployment is demoralizing. The decline in the price of basic products precipitates depressions, throws men out of work. Fear of declines makes industry hesitate, starts the downward move in the tempo of business. Wisdom might suggest that we search for the basic cause of the decline in the price of raw materials but that is scarcely within the compass of this story. This is an age in a hurry, it wants prosperity tomorrow. I merely point out a way by which it can be attained. The Minister of Agriculture pro­ poses lon£ term agreements for the sale of farm products. Labor Minis­ ter Mitchell is busy shoving wage rates higher. The remedy is to ex­ change portfolios, make the Honor­ able Humphrey Mitchell, Minister of Agriculture, the Honorable James G. Gardner, Minister of Labor. The new Minister of Labor will then make long-term agreements with labor thus giving “stability" to wage rates. Laugh that off! The new Minister of Agriculture will keep prices hiking upward as vigorously as he has done in the field of wage rates. Under the new conditions we would have prosperity. Nothing on earth could hold this country down if it had higher average prices for farm products and wage rates which would increase payrolls by providing more employment. Agricultural Minister Mitchell, when he steps into his new portfolio, has his work cut out for him. When he looks at the records he will find that during the depression the far­ mer took the dirty end of the stick. The price of agricultural products was cut In two between 1929 and 1932, and in 1939, were still 36% below the 1929 level. Real wage rates had risen steadily through the INGERSOLL him but trouble in the proposed arrangement. The new style of mar­ keting will not long remain attract­ ive. ■ It will be disruptive while it lasts. The exchange of ministers is the obvious remedy. It’s a bright idea, even if I did invent it. Man, at times, moves in a mischievous way his blunders to reform. BANNER Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

FAMILYREUNIONS CRANE FAMILY INTERMEDIATES Ingersoll Lions made their bid for top of the league on Saturday when they met Tillsonburg Pandrieds in a scheduled Intermediate game here. Dixon who did the hurling for the home team held the visitors scoreless until the seventh inning when a ser­ ies of errors put men in scoring posi­ tion and two runs were scored on one hit. The official scorer allowed the Lions 11 hits off Ker and Foster and charged the locals with 7 errors^ Henderson got 4 hits of five times at bat and played a real good game in left field. Bradfield and Arm­ strong each got triples. Tillsonburg made five replace­ ments, during the day in an effort to make a come-back, but to no avail. In the first of the ninth, after Gray got to first on an error, Neai hit to Bradfield who caught Gray at sec­ ond and pegged to first for the only double play of the game. The umpires were Binns at the plate and Meaker at the bases.

Seventy-five descendants of Richard Wilson, who lived on the family homestead, on land acquired by their ancestor, Walter Wilson, 115 years ago, sat down to dinner at one o’clock, with the president, Fred Wilson, acting as master of ceremonies. As this gathering is held separ­ ately from the larger one which in­ cludes many more branches of the Wilson family, it is quite informal, and apart from a ball game, and the election of officers, there is no pro­ gramme, the time being spent in so­ cial intercourse.

There is nothing for EXPORTS ARE VITAL Sixty years ago, over half the people of Canada were needed to feed the reminder of the country. To-day less than one-quarter of the population is needed to operate the farms, and Canada is going into the post-war period with a plant geared to produce 40 to 50 per cent above the pre-war level. The export market is vital. The ability to export, states Frank Shefrin, Economies Division, Dominion Department of Agricul­ ture, in the Agricultural Institute Review, will be influenced greatly by the national measures or controls exercises by various governments to channel, impede, restrict, or promote international trade.
