The establishment of the firm Smith-Fer­ guson Men’s and Boys’ Wear will continue in a place of business that started back in 1870 when the late George Smith commenced his activ­ ity as a clerk. In 1880 a partner­ ship was started as Thompson and Smith and on the death of Mr. Thompson continued under the man­ agement of Mr. Smith. In 1903 Mr. Smith became asso­ ciated with the late W. J. Kerr and founded the firm of Smith and Kerr. This business continued until 1936 when on the death of his father, Mr. Percy L. Smith carried on in his stead. This business of late years has been known as Percy L. Smith Men’s Wear who has been actively in the business since 1906. The new members in the firm are George C. Smith, son of Percy L. Smith and Prank H. Ferguson. Mr. Smith returned to his home town after five years’ service with the R.C.A.F. in Canada and England. Mr. Ferguson has been manager of the Walker Stores Limited for the past two years coming here from Brock- ville. He has had twenty years’ ex­ perience in department store work. Both are actively engaged in the activities of the Y’s Men’s Club and both are members of Trinity United Church. The new firm has a tradition to uphold and both members will be assisted by Mr. Percy Smith in the store. The business will continue to supply men’s and boys’ wear as well as tailormade clothes and leather goods. WHERE CAN I RAISE THE MONEY?

CURB-MENDING ON THE FRONT STREET Workmen are engaged in putting in new curbs along Thames street where needed. For sorrfte time past owing to shortages, the curbs have presented a very shabby appearance, and citizens generally are pleased to see this tidying up being done. Inger­ soll store-fronts, with the attractive-. ly dressed windows, make of our front street one of the most attract­ ive of any town in this part of the Province. If ell citizens will co-op­ erate by refraining from tossing paper about, Thames street, Ingersoll will be a source of pride for every­ one.

She had been in failing health for the past two months. Born in North Dorchester Town­ ship, the late Mrs. Morris was in her 87th year and had lived in Dereham Township for S3 years prior to moving to Ingersoll two years ago. Her kindly manner had endeared her to a large circle of friend# and she was held in the high­ est esteem by all who knew her. She was a member of St. Andrew’s Uni­ ted Church, Verschoyle, and was an active worker there while health permitted.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL DISAGREE ON BY-LAWS A special meeting of the Municipal Council was held on Tuesday oinf^g tthoe dvisoctue ss fboyr- lawths ef oqru tehstei otna kinogf sewage and sewerage disposal m Ingersoll. All the members of coun­ cil were present, except Councillor Horton with Mayor Riley presiding. On motion of Councillors Nunn and Morrison, the mayor was in­ structed to proclaim Monday, Aug. 5th as civic holiday. By resolution of Councillors Mor­ rison and Nunn, an adjustment was made in the tax account of Mrs. Mary Naylor. Mayor Riley announced that the convention of Ontario mayors and reeves would be held at Fort Wil­ liam. commencing August 13. He explained that the conventions pro­ vided a wide scope of information and stated it was his intention to attend. The fee for membership was ordered paid. When the matter of the by-laws was brought up a lot of argument took place regarding the appoint-! ment of the engineers and the fee demanded. Mayor Riley refused to sign the by-law confirming the appointment with the result that other councillors felt it should be done before the vote was taken and an adjournment followed without the by-law naming a day for voting being introduced. Mayor Riley is to ask the engineer to attend a meeting of council and get full first hand information on points not in agree- men with the views of all members. AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY OF OXFORD IS HEALTHY | Driving about Oxford County one! is impressed by the abundance on I all sides. Pastures, that are some-1 times brown at this time of the year, are for the most part fresh and I green. The sight of apples on the! trees is a welcome <>Uc, after last I years’ poor crop. ground growth is any indication, the potato crop should be a fine one, although growers say that the early crop is more promising than that of winter potatoes. Roots are developing in first class condition with corn already looking as if silo space might be at a premium by harvest time. Recent rains have flattened many fields of oats and some of wheat, but those grains will not be lost entirely. Threshing is under way on some farms, with wheat taking precedence over oats, on acount of earlier de­ velopment than usual, with danger of sprouting, owing to the damp W N e a r l y harvest should_ give Oe .farmers a long autumn to enable them to attend to much work that it was necessary to neglect .earlier in the season. Probably the first Westerners to be amazed at the sight of rubber were the crew of Christopher Colum­ bus, who, late in the fifteenth cen­ tury, found West Indian natives playing with solid balls which bounced.

Queen Inducted As Rector of St. James’ Church At a most impressive service con­ ducted by His Grace, the Most Reverend Charles Allen Seager, Archbishop of Huron and Metropoli­ tan of the Ecclesiastical Province, on Thursday evening, Rev.

Twenty-five children were on the platform taking part in the programme of choruses, quartettes and Bible memory work, although twice that number have attended the school, many being unable to attend on Friday evening. Members of the audience were amazed at all that had been accom­ plished in the short space of two weeks. Some of them after years of practice are unable to memorize the Books of the Bible, which the child­ ren did with ease, through flannel­ graph instruction. The same was ac­ complished with certain Scripture texts by means of visible teaching. A quartette composed of Helen Ackert, Doreen Cousins, Noreep Mat­ thews and Velma Birtch, all with sweet, well-trained voices, rendered the hymn, “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” accompanied by Miss Routley at the piano. Work done by the chil­ dren was on display and included articles of sewing, plaster modelling picture colouring, toy-making, paint­ ing and various types of paper-work, all showing originality and ability, and reflecting great credit on those who have accomplished so much in such a short space of time. Prize winners for the various classes were: For the best all-round record: Intermediates, Madeline Sta­ tham; juniors, Lyle Statham and Doreen Groom, tied; beginners, Mabel Shelton. In the Primary Class, Wilbert Schwindt won the prize for book work, with Bruce and Shirley Schwindt tying for the best attend­ ance. The Red team headed by Made­ line Statham, won over the Blues, in taking in the most new members. The sponsors of the vacation school are greatly pleased with the results and it is hoped to make it an annual event. The pastor of the Tabernacle, Rev. R. Schwindt, ad­ dressed the gathering, thanking all for their assistance in making the school a success. He closed the ser­ vice with the Benediction. f ac t or y h an ds o n SUMMER HOLIDAY This week a number of Ingersoll manufacturing plants- have closed their plants down for a vacation period for their employees.

Lunney, local representative of the Department of Rehabilitation Section, D.V.A., reports the work in Ingersoll to be running smoothly. “Most of the veterans have been placed”, said Mr. Lunny. He is looking about for opportunities for a few men, who at present are in hospital, but on discharge will find adjustments necessary on account of not being able to return to former employemen L Company Honour Employees At Dinner Just before closing the factory for the annual vacation period the em­ ployees of the James A. Cole Furni­ ture Co., Limited, were entertained at dinner by the management at the New Commercial Hotel, Woodstock, on Thursday evening, July 26th. Thirty-six employees attended the dinner which was thoroughly en­ joyed. Mr. N. E. Horton, President of The James A. Cole Furniture Co., acting as chairman, warmly wel­ comed the -guests and introduced Mr. J. M. Malcolm who had a special message of welcome and commenda­ tion for the following members of the organization who had served with the active forces in various sectors of the recent conflict—Joseph Bal­ four, Clarence Longfield, Joseph Yustinich, Sidney Chamberlain, Al­ fred Routledge, Willard Chamber- lain, Frank Wolstenholme, Clifford Helmuth and Douglas Cole.

H. Chamberlain, H. B. Anthony, Clar­ ence Longfield, C. Coxon, Mrs. E. Helmuth, Mr. H. G. Anthony, Mrs. M. Nash, James Dingwall, W. J. Sutherland, H. Sumner, W. Cham­ berlain. These employees will all re­ ceive an extra week’s wages in appreciation for their services. Leo Matthew called up Joe Bal­ four who is leaving the organization and presented him on behalf of his fellow employees with a very hand­ some pencil set. Mr. Balfour replied very briefly. In order to show Leo Matthew who has just recently been married, that his associates in the company wish him all good fortune, Vern Simmons presented him with a very lovely blanket. Leo was ■'extremely sur­ prised and expressed his great appre­ ciation for the gift. Bill Sutherland and Vern Sim­ mons on behalf of the employees sponsored a vote of thanks to Mr. Horton and the company for the very delightful evening. Mr. Horton voiced his appreciation and at the same time especially thanked the committee who had so ably handled the details of the dinner meeting and also his hope that all present would thoroughly enjoy their vaca­ tion.

DEPARTMENT OF MINES CONDUCTING TESTS There is no need for real estate prices in the district to sky-rocket, if a group of young men with field-in­ struments are observed working hereabouts. They are members of a party of university staff-members and students doing what is largely routine duty. They are making a study of the seismic method of pros- pebting for gas and oil in most of Western Ontario, for the Ontario Department of Mines. That does not mean that it is even suspected that gas or oil are to be found all over Western Ontario. Although in order to find out where they are, a wide search must be made. By this seismic method, artificial earth tremors arc created .by blast­ ing, the resultant earth tremors which are recorded by a seismo­ graph, giving some indication of the sub-stratum where tl|ey originate. In certain sub-stratae certain ele­ ments are assumed to exist, and in others the quest would be worthless. Thereby a sub-surface map may be i compiled. MR. and MRS. E.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 1st 1946 Reckoning Day For Labor Barons The state has long since asserted its authority 'over business and how it might operate, combine, and conduct itself in its relationships with the rest of the community, states a 'Financial Post editor­ ial, and now the reckoning day for the labor barons is approaching. “Today’s reality is that trade unionism has grown to such a stature, has so successfully ac­ quired privileges and avoided responsibilities, that society finds, for its own protection and the pro­ tection of trade union members themselves, that it must take a new look at this mighty institution. “Some union leaders now hold in their own hands power that lets them defy, with virtual im­ punity, government and the overwhelming body of public opinion. They have become stronger than government itself. They tie up and debauch a whole nation’s economy. Those with closed shop agreements, can doom to impoverishment individu­ als who question or reject their leadership, at least until the worker learns to make his living at some other job. And with or without a closed shop, the 'union leader has his very highly organized teams of ‘pressure boys’ who use various forms of ‘put­ ting the heat’ on ‘troublesome’ union members; in making life extremely miserable for the worker and his family. “The labor leader can instruct his army to halt production regardless of the effect on the commun­ ity as a whole, on other workers, on managers and shareholders. He can order his army to damage and wreck and prevent access to property, and neither he nor his union is liable to penalties for so doing. “Unions grew as minority groups fighting in a generally hostile world for certain well-defined {Objectives - - more pay and better working condi­ tions. “With their development as giant international corporations, with powerful hierarchies of profes­ sional executives, they have become very different things.” Canadian Arctic Policy Vital “Canada must quickly get a policy of her own for developing the North or someone else may insist on doing it for us,” concludes The Financial Post'in an editorial discussion of Ottawa’s move “to scotch” a United States meteorological ex­ pedition to Melville Island. “It is of widest national concern that the Canadian government has scotched, at least for this year, a U.S.-sponsored meteorological expedi­ tion to the Canadian Arctic,’’ says The Post. “This expedition was to have left Boston this week to spend a year in Canadian territory. It was to have been escorted by a U. S. Naval Convoy and have carried on observations on Melville Island. “Apparently the Cabinet at Ottawa got sud­ denly alarmed at the possible “provocative impli­ cations of an American naval convoy steaming around in the Canadian north. Some 30 or more carloads of scientific equipment were ready on a Boston dock. Postponement of sailing now means delay for a whdie year because of weather and ice conditions in the north. This means that Canada and her friends lose at least a whole year in start­ ing work to collect valuable weather data from this key northern location. "There can now be no doubt whatever that very considerable pressures are being exerted on Canada by the United States looking toward the defense and the development of the North American Arc­ tic. A meteorological expendition today certainly has military as well as civil importance. These pressures come from two particular sources; (a) Groups and individual officials who want to set up a big chain of weather bases in the Arctic; tb) U.S. army and naval officials who view with alarm the fact that there is presently no effective de­ fense of their northern boundary, either at the Canadian border or beyond.” The New Flag That Canada should have a new flag worthy of her stature, is just as reasonable as that a son should have a home of his own when he marries. But to fail to recognize the source of assistance given to .us during the fofmative years, would be as ungrateful and discreditable as for a son, on 'assuming his own responsibilities, to indicate his independence by choosing another name. To deny ourselves the privilege of indicating our place in a Commonwealth of great nations is not worthy of a people whose dominion does, and whose ‘ vision should extend from sea to sea. All that the crosses of St. George, St Patrick and St Andrew stand for, is as much a part of our tradition as of anyone else—with the beautiful Maple Leaf as well. Personally,/we should like to see the Fleur-de-Lis and the Maple Leaf In a shield together. But-to disregard our connection with the Union Jack ought to be beneath the dignity of people THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUG. 1, 1946who have any<eense of gratitude in their make-up.Canadian traditions offer material for the finestflag in the world.ment of improved cropping prac­tices.Have you any real estate you’d be willing to sell? If so, the easiest and quickest way to sell it at the best possible price in today’s market is to let more folks know about it. And don't be too skimpy in describing it.

McLeod, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agri­ culture. Weeds which are most not­ iceable now in these fields are Ox- Eye Daisy, Canada Thistle, Blue Weed. Chicory, Orange Kawkweed, Goldenrod and Wild Carrot, with buttercup in poorly drained fields. These weeds reduce seriously the amount of pasture and unless pre­ vented from seeding will take com­ plete possession of the fields, Mr. McLeod states. Fortunately, he adds, they can be kept very well in check by systematic and timely mowing] This not only prevents their be­ coming firmly established in that particular field, but also prevents theirjspread to neighbouring fields. Since most of these weeds are al­ ready in blossom, if best results are to be obtained, mowing should be done at once. A rainfall or heavy due that interferes with haying or harvest, gives an opportunity to at­ tend to these pasture fields with the' mower. It should not be overlooked that in addition to checking the weeds, this practice of mowing pas­ ture also improves the pasture grass by encouraging new leaf growth.

Rice of St. Marys allowed some young cyclists who were travelling through this part of the country to camp in an unused stable on her property. The next year she had bunks installed, as well as a camp fireplace built. During recent years her place has become increasingly popular with young wayfarers. It is now a registered branch of Canadian Youth Hostels, with which American Youth Hostels is affiliated. For a nominal sum young people wishing to see the country, may stop at these hostels, where comforts of travel, but no trimmings are sup­ plied. Certain regulations are fol­ lowed, with the object of maintain­ ing a certain amount of discipline with consideration for the comfort of all. Recreational facilities are provided at some of the hostels. So far this year 55 visitors have stayed at the St. Marys branch, many of them coming from far dis­ tant points. This is a splendid way in which to utilize a vacant building, as the popularity of Youth Hostels is increasing. The final test of life, no matter how intelligent we are, is in what we feel supremely worth doing when left alone to our own decision. MAXIMUM YIELD PER ACRE AGAIN POTATO OBJECTIVE Five- hundred bushel per acre potato clubs will again be feature projects of the Ontario Crop Im­ provement Association this year, it is announced by R. E. Goodin, potato fieldman of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. For the fourth suc­ cessive year, South Simcoe County has organized a contest known as the Alliston 500 Bushel Per Acre Potato Club. New competitions will be conducted this year in the coun­ ties of Dufferin and Wentworth, also in’the District of Kenora. In all, fourteen competitions are under way including two in the Dis­ trict of Sudbury, and also one in each of the following areas: Coch­ rane North, York, Rainy River, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Durham, Temiskaming and Middlesex. Several of these competitions have increased their numbers of contestants, which indicates greater enthusiasm. Since the organization of 500 Bushel Potato Clubs in Ontario four years ago, much improvement has been accomplished by growers in specialization of the potato industry, says Mr. Goodin. The principal of a set objective in yield per acre has also been applied for improvement of other crops by the organization of several 50 Bushel Fall Wheat Clubs, 800 Bushel Turnip Clubs, 100 Bushel Corn Clubs, 100 Bushel Oat Clubs and 60 Bushel Barley Clubs. This year, there is also * 80 Bushel Pea Club organized for the first time by the Renfrew County Branch of the Ontario C/op Improvement Association. With urgent demands for in­ creased production of food products, together with the fact that cutting costs of production per unit is a time­ ly subject, such products which fea­ ture not more acres, hut maximum production of quality products per acre, should stimulate more efficient methods and assist in,the develop- D’J’EVER? <THE PLACE, IN6VSR r FOR GOODNESS Sa ke , d ear , LEAVE IT ALONE, l YoU ONLY MAKE Fit s ab o ut t ime THIS dUHK WAS cl ea r ed OUT — b ITte NO USE To US Sa y,There ’s n oth ing WRONG WITH THIS COAT IF m e CUFFS WGREFIXED U P-rrte A5MAME< TO THROW ITOUT OF STUFF THAT, W/THAFBW REPAIRS?

Long It has always been a rule of good manners rather to depreciate one’s true worth, and to feel that to men­ tion, or enlarge upon one’s ability in any direction is to be guilty of self adulation, a thing to be avoided at any cost. And so it is if the adu­ lation is made at some other's ex­ pense, or if it brings about a feeling of inferiority in someone else. But while it may be very irritating to to have to hear a man blow his own trumpet, and that repeatedly, it isn’t good to sit back eternally and allow others to conclude that there is nothing but mediocrity in one’s makeup. Foolish people show their foolishness plainly enough; no one is in doubt of it. Clever, except­ ional people are equally likely to show the world where they stand. But the one who has talents and ideas and is reluctant to speak about either, in case he appears exhibi­ tionist or conceited, is drawing attention to the commonplace in himself and not to special features that make him in any way different from the crowd. To be self-effacing may be commendable at times but it has its limits. The egoist loves to lord it over more humble minded folk and make audience of them, but in as much as the world is very likely to rate people much as they rate themselves, self effacement is -wrong. There’s a line to be drawn between those who love to steal the whole show and. those who, from a too well develped sense of propriety or inferiority, allow themselves to appear monentities. If a person has ideas he should voice them. They may be original with him 'and therefore valuable as tonic for thought in others. If he has talents he should be proud of them and not hide his abilities under a bushel. He may not be a wizard of forceful thinking or develop a talent that will make him a world wonder, but in as much as he has something to give, he should give it, with pleasure and delight in his ability to give. He should not act as though apoligizing for having the temerity to be alive in a world of exhibition­ ist? and morons. There are more, fnr more of those who lie in be­ tween the top storey of the highly talented and the basement of the talentless. It is they, the common sort of people, who largely compose the world and if their ideas or their talents seem inconspicuous to them, let them remember that the sum of their ideas and talents makes up a considen^ble whole. No one, from a false sense of modesty, should refrain fTom ex­ pressing and doing what seems to him good and doing it in the full light of the world. It will give him a sense of importance something very much needed by the naturally self-effacing and will make others recognize him as an individual to be reckoned with, Instead of a mollusc unlikely to be shifted from his rock of mediocrity to which he clings.

The alarm was sounded and Mr. W. A. C. Forman made a rush trip to the store. A jar of vinegar had been placed in front of some boxes and the sun’s rays di­ rectly focused on the cardboard, ignited the box. The box was smok­ ing when the firemen went into the store but flames had not yet burst nut although a hole was burned through. More serious trouble might nave ensued had it not been for the prompt action of the pedestrian passing the store window. ALUMINUM Some interesting^ facts about, aluminum were revealed at a meet­ ing in London recently. Since the end of the war, for instance, the lift­ ing of controls has reduced the price from £110 to £65 per ton. Although aluminum is today more plentiful than either lead or zinc, 60 years -ago it was in such short supply that its price was no less than £2.000 per lb. Britain’s aircraft factories have? now turned over their aluminum supplies to the housing drive. Houses can be built entirely of aluminum and a whole range of fittings, from kitchen sinks to floorjoints, are now possible in thismetal. a Mr. Cliff, Broadhunt a returned veteran of six years’ service inCanada's Armed Forces has openeda newly equipped welding shop east of Hamilton Road in Dorchester andwill be pleased to meet his many Mr. and Mrs. W.

No. 23, Haldi- mand Township, in Northumberland County, has been awarded first place and the J. E. Carter Trophy in the annual competition sponsored by the Ontario Horticultural Association for the improvement of rural school grounds. This is announced by J. A. Carroll, superintendent of the Agri­ cultural and Horticultural Societies Branch of the Department of Agri­ culture. Interest in the competition this year was very great, with 291 schools entering in local competi­ tions, the winners of which were eli­ gible for the Provincial award. Mrs. D. A. Gillies of Arnprior, President of the Ontario Hohticultural Asso­ ciation, who is an enthusiast for beautification of school grounds, took a very keen personal interest in the competition, which was judged by John F. Clark, lecturer of the Asso­ ciation. Coming in second place and win­ ning the Hon. P. M. Dewan Trophy, is S. S. No. 1, Hamilton Township, Durham and Northumberland. Third place and the T. Eaton Co. Ltd. award, goes to S. S. No. 13, Corn­ wall Township, Stormont County. Commenting on the results of the competition, Mr. Clark states that, while the top ranking schools did not score as high as those of 1945, much good work has been done. It was evident that school boards are now able to have repairs made and paint work done without much dif­ ficulty. The entries indicated a fine interest on the part of teachers and pupils, but additional work to be done by the men of the school sec­ tion was very cases.

Woodstock-Representatives of the COMMITTEE NAMED FOR FLYING CLUB There are now definite indications of Oxford County having an organ­ ized flying club. At a preliminary meeting held in Woodstock on Mon­ day night, enthusiasm for the un­ dertaking was evidenced by repre­ sentatives of the various municipali­ ties, as well as ex-service and civil­ ian fliers. At present a number of flyers in the county are using the facilities provided by the London and Brant­ ford Clubs, but they would be will­ ing to join one in their own county. The former Government emergency flying field near Tillsonburg might be leased for the purpose, as it offers the required facilities. A committee to make preliminary plans was formed as follows: Mayor J. C. Eichenberg, Tillsonburg; County Warden J. W. Nichols, Mayor C. W. Riley, Ingersoll; Aid. A. McLeod, Woodstock, and Coun­ cillor W. C. Watson, Ingersoll. Some time will be required for complete negotiations, but flying en­ thusiasts are pleased that a begin­ ning has been made. Work is the best preventive of moral weeds. OXFORD and NEARBY COUNTY ITEMS Till*onburg — Stanley G.

BAND CONCERT Sunday E ven ing , Atfgust 4 8.30 P.M., AT MEMORIAL PARK BY1 Y'S MEN'S BOYS' Affl/GIRLS' BAND SILVER CO<^CTION In case of rain, concert will be held in Community Centre DORCHESTER WELDIN^ SHOP Now Onerajftig ELECTRIC-ACETy I n e J f ELDING and CUTTING PORTABIJ^EQUIPMENT CLIFF BROADHURST Proprietor Succeitor* to Percy I_ Smith Mea’a Wear 4THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUG, 1, 1946 Page 5 Hello Folks! In the park, down by the river, or in your own back yard, move out under the sky for an occasional picnic. For there’s ease and good fellowship found in eating outdoors that just cannot happen inside four walls. If it’s possible to have a small fire, take weiners, corn and coffee. The, boy scout of today or yesteryear will enjoy helping in this cooking ven­ ture. He can build the fire while the picnic cloth is spread out and the limited supply of dishes arranged within everyone’s reach. The rest of the meal can be old-fashioned potato salad, cucumber sticks, small toma­ toes, the bottles of mustard, salt and pepper and the desesert of fat ginger cookies and fresh peaches. You may forget (on purpose), the sugar, but a bottle of cream for the coffee is a treat. By the way we suggest you leave on the inner husks of the corn and peel them back far enough to rub off the silk and pull back over the com—then weiners and corn can go in same black iron pot. Here are some more picnic ideas: 1. Bologna heated in spicy toma­ to sauce, sliced thick and served on toasted buns with com niblets . 2. Hamburgers are a natural pic­ nic feast. Make them into patties at home, carry between layers of waxed paper. 3. Stuffed eggs have many var­ iations. Try devilling them by an old recipe. Mix yolks of 4 eggs. 1-4 tsp. salt, 1-2 tsp. mustard, 1-4 tsp. cayenne. 1 tsp. vinegar, and 1 tbsp, salad dressing. Fill halves and stick together again. Vary by adding pre­ pared horseradish, minced meat andparsley. 4. Apples, onions, and potatoes, taste better cooked outdoors for a change. 5. Man-sized sandwiches and pickles. 6. ‘Favourite squares of marblecake—there’s no worry aboutcrumbs, or tarts. -Fresh fruit isalways welcome.7. Scalloped potatoes in an oven should be wrapped in several thick­ nesses of newspaper and carried wherever you picnic to stay hot. 8. After peeling tomatoes, pack them in a wide mouthed jar and chill in electric refrigerator. Wrap the jar in paper to keep tomatoes cool. 9. Macaroni Salad—Cook one 9 oz. pkg. elbow macaroni till It’s done, hold under cold water a mo­ ment, then drain. Add 1 chopped sweet pickle, 1 chopped onion, 1 diced cucumber soaked in French dressing 3 sliced hardcooked eggs, salt and pepper to taste. Toss to­ gether with salad dressing and chill. Serves 4. 10. If it’s not too late for fried chicken—there’s nothing better in an open skillet. 11. Don’t forget to put out the picnic fire by pouring on water and scraping it aside, then pouring on more water. Trace any sparks and put out any smouldering smudge. 12. Leave the park area as you would want to see it when you found the setting. Requested Recipe* PICKLED WHOLE BEETS Cut leaves off 2 lbs. tender young beets .leaving 1 inch of stems and root end.

(Ma s. w . r il ey, MAYOR Ingersoll, July 31, 1946. Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUG. 1, 1946 It was several days later thatJulie Barton telephoned Ann."I would like to see you now—Fd like it a lot,” said Julie. "I washindering if you wouldn’t step inthis afternoon cn your way home,for a cup of tea—or a cocktail, if you would rather.”Ann hesitated. She didn’t wantto see Julie. But even as she hesi­tated. searching for an excuse,Julie’s voice came again, all pre­tense of casualnesa gone now; avoice rapRcd with urgency, plead­ing that startled Ann, "Please,Ann—please come! I’ve—I’ve gotto see y. ul It’s—it’s—terribly im­portant.” Julie greeted Ann with every evi-dence of warm affection and eager­ ness, ushering her into the long,low-ceilinged living room that wasan beige and sage green, with ivory-painted furaitatv. and odd splashesof a clear tangerine color in a lamp­shade, a pillow or a picture. Itwas an eSectiveooom and patientlybuilt around Julie, to give herfragile loveliness an attractive set­ting.A crystal cocktail shaker and acouple of glasses were on a silvertray on the small glass-toppedcoffee table. As Julie waved Annto a chair, she herself caught upthe well-frosted shaker and pouredtwo bubble-thin glasses, offeringone to Ann. retaining the other as she sank into a deeply cushionedgreen and white chair.She chattered for a moment, almost feverishly, and Ann waited,growing more and more puzzled. It was evident that Julie waslaboring under some suppressed excitement; her eyes were fever­ishly bright and behind the deftmake-up her face was unhealthily "Wen.” laid Julie, leaning backin her chair, one hand droppingdown to the cushion beside her, theother bolding her cigarette, "andwhat’s all this bright gossip I hearabout town? You and Lyn Frazierand—stuff?’’ "The formal announcement hasbeen made and the date set—soit’s scarcely—bright gossip,” Annanswered her quietly.“But you’re not going to marryhim. Ann.” Julie said so quietly, soevenly that for a second Ann didnot quite realize what she was say­ing. "So you might as well beginthinking of a good, face-saving rea­ son for announcing the breaking ofthe engagement,” Ann put down her cocktail glasson the glass-topped coffee tableand said gently, “I think you’llhave to explain that, Julie.”"Oh. I intend to! That’s whyI asked you out here,” said Julie,and now that she had broachedthe subject, she spoke freely, al­ most eagerly. "You’re not going tomarry Lyn, because he’s my prop­erty—is that clear enough?”Ann was still for a long moment,feeling a great distaste for the un­pleasant scene that was shaping up,heartily wishing herself out of it,yet unwilling to turn tail and rununtil it was over."So then the gossip about the way Dan happened to get himselfshot was true,’* she commented.Julie caught her breath and hereyes widened, almost with terror.'“Dan shot himself,** she panted."Accidentally—”“And then wiped all the finger­prints off the gun? Because thefingerprints had been wiped off, youknow,” Ann reminded her.-"How—how did you know that—”Julie’s voice faltered.•’After all, Julie, I work on a newspaper, you know,” Ann re­minded her dryly. Julie, her tongue touching her dryUps with a little darting motion,whispered, "Lyn didn’t shoot Dan.”Startled, Ann said, "I never tora moment thought he did. I feltfrom the first that it was you whodid it”"AU right.” said Julie at last,her voice husky, so faint that Annhad to strain to hear her. "AUright—I shot Dan. I—didn’t meanto. He was furious because I’dbeen cut with X,yn-he—accusedme of being in love with Lyn—and I lost my head and admitted—that we were lovers—” Ann caught her breath on alittle audible gasp, and Julie’seyes, bright with malice, feverishand somehow ugly, flut'd around toher and Julie chuckled.“So how you see why you’ve Rutto break yuur engagement to Lyn—and right away," said Julfe.Ann said quietly, "I hardly seewhat right you ho-va to order moabout.

Ann knew thatdeath looked straight at her fromthe small round mouth of that ugly little gun. and to herself, tn atone of wonder, she thought, "Why —she's going to kin me!” "I mean it, Ann.” said Julieafter a moment, her voice low,husky, strained, a light nut farfrom madness in her eyes. "I—couldn’t live without Lyn. If hemarried you—rd want to die. But—Fd want you to die, toot He’s mine, Ann—you have no right tohim—” "Julie, you’re being a simple-minded little fool.” Ann told hersharply and started to rise.But Julie’s menacing gesturepushed her back and Julie’s soft,pain-wracked voice said sharply,"Sit still Ann—the guard’s off thisgun—it’ll fire if I just press myfinger the least little bit—and—Icouldn’t miss hitting your heart—from here—”And then the front door opened and closed and there was a gaytreble of laughter and the patterof childish feet in the halL Julie's rigid body jerked asthough she had been a wooden dollin the hands of an awkward pup­peteer: the band that held the gun dropped so that the ugly blue­nosed thing was hidden in thefolds of the peacock-green-bluebrocade housecoat; and throughthe door came a scampering child,laughing, crowing with delight asshe evaded the middle-aged, white-dad nurse who followed her. Thechild flung herself on Julie with a little whoop of delight and bur­ rowed her flushed face in the foldsof Julies housecoat. The nurse paused in the door­way and Julie lashed out at herfuriously, "I.told you to keep herin the park until six—”The nurse stiffened into hostil­ity, her pale eyes flashing withresentment as she said curtly, "Itwas beginning to rain, Madam.” The nurse’s eyes flickered toAnn's white face and back toJulie’s, that was stiff and mask­like beneath Its careful make-up. The child, sensitive as childrenInvariably are to the queer be­havior that sometimes makes ter­rifying strangers out of the mostbeloved adults, looked up at hermother and shrank a little as the nurse came in to pick her up.“Come along, Baby.” said thenurse tenderly, her voice gentleand soothing though her eyes wereangry. "Supper time — the dollieswill be wanting their nice bakedapples.”She carried the child out of theroom, her very back rigid with her sense of outrage, her stiffly starched skirts with indignation.Ann was on her feet now,breathing again, moving again;realizing that the child bad un­doubtedly saved her life; becausethere bad been no mistaking themadness that had leered fromJulie’s eyes in that split-secondwhen her finger bad constricted alittle on the trigger of the gun—nistl the child’s voice nad beenheard.Julie looked at Ann with a dazed,bewildered expression, as though wondering who she was. As thoughshe came slowly and reluctantlyfrom the grip of some hideousnightmare. The revolver slippedfrom her hand to the beige-coloredcarpet; and Julie collapsed like t>doll out of which the sawdust isslowly pourlug. She went downuntil she oat huddled vn the C«r,her face hidden against the sage-green cushions, her thin shouldersshaking convulsively.Arm stood for a moment, look­ ing at her helplessly. But therewas nothing she could do; nothingsbe could say that would ease thegrip Julie’s private devil had upon her; and so Ann turned and wentout of the house and into the warmsummer rain and walked a blockbefore she realized that it waaraining.Her knees were Jelly, and shepaused and clung to the friendlytruck of a slim >cung tree, shak­ing so that but for the tree’s sup­port. she could not have stood.She shivered in the warm,misty summer rain and felt asthough an Icy wind had swept over her.

Deachman You may recall the story I wrote entitled "I Had So Many Miseries." It was about a woman of France. Her name was Andree Rouge. My friend Russell Sparks met her back in Ares, Gironde, Southwestern France, not far from Bordeaux, in 1J18, during the first war. He left soon after. There was an exchange of postcards for a year or two then the curtain dropped. That often happens. The close of this war stir­ red the embers of memory and she wrote again to see if he were still alive. He replied asking how things were going in France and if there was anything he could do for her. Then came the the pathetic request for a few little articles for her adopted child, now a girl of ten years. Parcels were promptly dispatched. Kind friends preferred help. It takes all the way from 17 to 30 days for a parcel to go to France. The first parcel mailed was the second to arrive, this explains the first sen­ tence of her letter. Read now her letter—there is much between the lines: "Ares, Gironde June 6th, 1946 “Dear Mr. Sparks: Yesterday your first parcel, Pepee’s parcel, arrived in perfect state like the other. I wish you could have seen this little girl’s joy—she did not say much, she was overwhelmed to see all those things. Her face was flushed, she forgot to look over her lessons and she would take pencils, colours, one reel of cotton and needles to-school. I daresay I was al­ most as excited as Pepee. Of course many and many thanks .—but you know when I come to think that perhaps you sent all that at your qwn prejudice, well, I am not at all pleased. I read in the papers which were in the box there is a shortage of meat and perhaps the things I asked you for, so I can­ not let you send us any more parcels. "Don’t you believe we are so very unhappy, we are used to restrictions by now, not only morally (I mean in our minds), but even the body can get certain habits. It is hard and painful at the beginning and I wish there will be no beginning for you. Besides, in a fe’s days we shall have vegetables in our garden—• Pepee’s father grows them—within a month we’ll have potatoes, some fruit, we will be quite all right for several months. I’ll never forget how nicely and with what spontaneity you were ready to help us. What a treat to wash with real soap. The sewing cotton was so welcome too— you imagine the, amount of things we have to sew, to mend. Thank you. You are nice. Thank you again. My kindest regards. (Signed) Andree Rouge”. This letter was written in English by a woman born in France, educa­ ted, in part, in England. It is an excellent letter. It gives a clearer understanding of the situation in France than would a library of sta­ tistics. France has gone through a period of desperate inflation. Infla­ tion robs the poor, demoralizes the rich, and Andree, looking at the things received, wonders if she should accept more, because she read in our Ottawa papers, of scar­ city in certain commodities. “Scarcity", as we use the word iff Canada is a relative term. It means that on the restaurant menu roast beef may be absent and we must eat chicken or fish, perhaps a salad, but we gel enough to eat In France, in fact oH the whole continent with minor exceptions, and in India, China and many other countries, scarcity is an absolute term and not a relative expression. It means hun­ ger, a desperate hunger for the necessities of life. How delicately she puts it, "we are used to restrictions by now . . . even the body can get certain habits ... in a few days we shall have vegetables in our garden.” One might read these words in a casual way but beneath the deep restraint thoy tell the story. She is discussing slow starvation, inadequate food—then knowing what it means she writes: "I wish there will be no beginning for you.” All this has a mending. Sometimes I wonder if we realize the facta. We, I mean the people of this continent, came close to disaster. Hitler might have developed the atomic bomb, or an even worfc weapon, two or three years ahead of us. Millions of Can­ adian and American Pepees and An­ drees would have faced a worse fate. The hate of Hitler would have grown with wider victories. The defence of freedom, the broadening of it is anendless task.Yet somehow after reading this letter I had a lighter heart. Courage, Ms Sir James Barrie once put it, is “the lovely virtue." There is in this “Woman of France", not only cour­ age but pride, strength and hope. With these attributes in her woman­ hood France will regain her strength, create a greater France, help, let us hope, the whole continent back to wiser ways. These islands of cour­ age are becons of hope in a desert of hate. BACON EXPORTS Exports of bacon to the United Kingdom totalled 93 million pounds from January 1 to May 25, 1946. An additional 16 million pounds have been purchased and booked for early shipment At the end of May there were approximately. 32 million pounds of bacon for curing stored to Meat Board account This pro­ duct, says the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada, will be withdrawn during the months of July, August and September to augment the seasonally low bacon production from current slaughter.

He keeps his wife and youthful daughters at home and he keeps them worked. Occas­ ionally he obliges by bringing home work for them, when they are too busy to fetch it. He belives in the male management of women in home industry and offers it as a solution of the current problem of getting women back into the kitchen. Ladies, we present, for your con­ sideration, Doless McRabbitt. THE MANAGEMENT OF WOMEN — From — “The Scene" by John Atkins . Whenever men create conditions in which they are unable to get more pay for less work, they blame the women who are making goods at prices which people can pay. They demand that the women be replaced by men, thus preventing anyone from making the' goods at prices which will enable lower paid workers to enjoy them. Now that the costs of producing many goods and services make the prices of them prohibitive to large and growing numbers of people, wo­ men are again being told to leave employment-creating work and to go back to the kitchen. The working women are annoyed and defiant They say that they would not be employed unless it paid to employ them; that they earn their money, create employment for others, and intend to stay on the job. A solution of the problem has been offered to us by Doless McRabbit, a hare-brained Canadian, who claims to be an expert in the management of women. He says that throughout history men have had to put women back in their place, Hitler did it, and this is another time when male supremacy must be asserted. However, Doless does not rely so much on history as upon his own experience and conclusions. He alleges that when the suffragettes became active women generally be­ came more assertive.

John Bracken, hinting that a Dominion-Provincial Conference should be called again for a “united front in the attack on post-war problems" and stories cir­ culating about the willingness of several provinces to sign separate agreements proposed by Finance Minister llsley, these latter rumour­ ed to be New Brunswick, Saskat­ chewan and Manitoba, though others may come around there is a consid­ erable revival of “talk” about such a new meeting or its possibilities now along Parliament Hill and dis­ cussions seem to suggest that more news may be in the making than appears on the surface at the mo­ ment. At the same time it is pointed out that Premier Mackenzie King, who acted as Chairnpn of the last Dbminion-Provincial Conference in Ottawa, may not be in this capital until late in September as he has gone to Paris for the Peace Confer­ ence. authority to reduce the par value of their stock to $10 a share. The pai value of the indemnity company is 1100 and the other company *50. Mr. Finlayson opposed such powers, as stated, and said that it was not a good time to permit companies to split their capital stock. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION “In this connection I should point out that all areas are getting their share of building materials under equitable distributnon methods ad­ ministered by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in the same man­ ner as that in which all other scarce supplies are distributed in Canada,” said in Parlaiment Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Reconstruction and Supplies, in explaining this most important point. “Quotas are 'calculated on purchases during the base period and all distribution, whether to large or small towns, is on that basis,” he emphasized. I i WORKING HARDER THAN EVER The Acting Prime Minister, Rt| Hon. Louis St. Laurent, has moved in Parliament for the House of Commons to sit at 11 o’clock in the morning each day when in session and he said: “There still remains a lot of work to be“done. Some of the measures yet to be dealt with seem to be non contentious: Some of the legislation has already been very carefully considered in the sittings of standing or select committees and should not take up much more of the time of the House. There is, of course, other legislation which some honorable members will require to have further debated in the House. It is apparent that no matter how many hours a day the House sits it will still be a matter not of days but of weeks before we cqn get through the work that remains to be done, giving it that care which it is neces­ sary in the public interest that it should receive." With Ottawa weather hitting 95 degrees and prov­ ing to be the “hottest” city in Can­ ada at times now, the length of this session is beginning to show its effects as many members appear anxious to return to their homes, though likewise anxious to complete their tasks here. ISSUE PASSPORTS BUT— It has been made known in Ottawa that the Canadian passport office has been authorized to issue pass­ ports for any country, though there is a condition that the person ob­ taining such a passport must accept the undertaking to free the Can­ adian Government from any respon- sibllty in regard to transportation. The undertaking is clear that the applicant*would run into difficulties in matters of transportation. HAZARDOUS BUSINESS The Dominion Superintendent of Insurance, G. D. Finlayson has in­ formed the Banking Committee of Parliament that fire and casualty in­ surance was a hazardous business and poor people, who could not afford any financial losses, should not be encouraged to make investments in companies engaged in such under­ takings. He opposed powers being given in certain respects when two Winnipeg companies, the Canadian Indemnity Co., and the Canadia^ Fire Insurance Co., presented bills before the Committee asking for amendments in their Acts of Incor­ poration which would give them the Major Gen. C. B. Price, president of the Canadian Legion’s Dominion Command, stated in this capital that a good many married veterans in low income brackets were “terribly discouraged" because all their efforts “to secure decent living accommoda­ tion for their families at anything like the rentals they can afford to pay had been of no avail” . . . Since May, 1945, the. Civil Service of Can­ ada, it is reported in Ottawa, has dropped about 10,000 men and wo­ men . . . Premier Angus Macdonald of Nova Scotia came to this capital for a “general” conference with Finance Minister llsley and the Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr. W. C. Clark, on the Government's pro­ posals for new agreements on fin­ ance and taxation as outlined in the recent budget . . . Reconstruction Minister Howe has flatly denied in the House of Commons that either the armed forces or the War Assets Corporation had “dumped” any boots or shoes in Montreal ...

SCOTT Mrs. Allen Johnston, Canterbury street, was hostess on Thursday night last to some thirty friends of Miss Elsie Blackwell, a bride-elect of this month. The rooms were prettily decorated for the occasion, and as the Wedding March was being played by Mrs. Pittock, a very attractively decorated wagon con­ taining many useful and beautiful gifts was drawn into the room by Diane Pittock and Marie Shelton. The guest of honor was assisted in .unwrapping the gifts by Mrs. Sid- new Pittock, and after all had been duly admired, Miss Blackwell ex­ pressed her thanks in a very grac­ ious manner. Following a numbers of contests and a sing-song, the hostess assisted by Mrs. Harold Underwood and Mrs. Earl Fleming, served delicious refreshments, apd a Jolly social per­ iod was enjoyed, • Bookkeeper—“I’ll have to have a raise str. There are three companies after me.” Manager—“That so? What com­ panies?” Bookkeeper — “Light, telephone and water!” ' Mount Elgin—On July 25th, the Ladies Aid met at the home of Mrs. Glen Greer. Mrs. H. Mohr chair­ maned the meeting. Mrs. Glen Greer in the absence of the secretary, Mrs. Tindale, read the minutes and gave the roll call. Twelve ladies were present. Visitors were Mrs. Allison from Delmer; Mrs. Ted Green from Yarmouth Centre; Mrs. Mohr, Sr., from Listowel; Mrs. Clarence Dodg­ son, Mount Elgin. Mrs. Earl Shuttle­ worth read the Scripture lesson and Rev. D. Alexander offered the prayer, all joining in unison iu the Lord's Prayer. Mrs. Mohr in intro­ ducing Rev. Alexander said she was glad to have him come again and felt sure they would enjoy his ad­ dress. Rev. Alexander gave the ad­ dress on “Lessons from This Atomic Age.” The speaker said three tilings, ‘powerful things, had put the Domin­ ion of Canada before the world as never before. First, the Canadian soldier, including air and sea force; second, the production of wheat, 600,000,000 bushels of which were now being labelled for Great Britain, and the fact too that Canada had given one-fifth of the grain to meet famine in Euorpe; third, the discov­ ery of uranium at Great Bear Lake, some 300 miles directly north of Ed­ monton, and within the arctic circle. A French Canadian named LaBine, in 1930, made the discovery. One day, along with a companion who became snow-blind, LaBine came across a black covered rock marked by orange, red, and yellow stains. Investigating it turned out to be pitchblende. Taking samples of the mineral they returned to civilization. The Canadian Government was con­ sulted and its minerologists declared the ore was rich in uranium, but the Government felt it could not em­ bark on a large scheme of develop­ ment in that far north region; but LaBineuwent ahead. He got others interested in his stake and find. Tools and machinery were flown in by airoplane. The results became so convincing and satisfactory that the Government took hold, and now there is a small town on the rocky shores of the Great Bear called La­ Bine Point The ore is mined with moSem machinery, then moved either by boat or aeroplane to the nearest rail­ way, then landed at Port Hope, On­ tario Radium Refinery. Rev. Alexander pointed out to the taomcn that while Canada was one of the youngest nations politically, she was one of the oldest geologically. While we rejoice to our countless acres of good soil, underneath the ancient rocks- lies untold mineral wealth, because Canadian rocks date back to what scientists know as the Pre-Cambrian Formation; which goes back many, many centuries; beneath their rough hard exterior lie depos­ its of gold, silver, copper, lead and uranium, the last named being worth far more than the diamonds and rubies of other lands. Thus the wild north-land supposed to be fit only for wild fur-bearing animals, once the haunt for dark-skinned .Indian and Eskimos tribes, and a region for white adventurers, has of late be­ come the richest region for ipetals, and the most alluring field for the .mineralogist. This strange and mys­ terious substance hid away in God’s creation in its raw state, when re­ fined looks like metallic salt, a mere pinch of which contains potential power equal to 3000 tons of coal, and has dynamic enough to pene­ trate hard steel a foot thick. The only substance which can insulate, and keep back this untermed power from working destruction is common lead. The speaker referred to the ex­ periments at Bakini by the American Government. He said he listened to the broadcast of Admiral Blaney's flagship and heard distinctly the blast, the rush of water and the splitting of the air. This awful power could easily destroy the finest navy and could kill 200,000 people in one minute, as unfortunately was the case at Hiroshema and Nagaseki tn Japan. There is no question, but the atomic bomb put an end to Japan’s military power and dream, but the speaker feared it also broke the heart of the Japanese people and it was hoped it would never be used -again in human warfare, and it was good news to know Canadian and British scientists were busy every day in their laboratories seeking ways and means to transmute atomic energy into constructive and reme­ dial uses, to combat disease and suffering and to supply the world with more power, heat and ligbt AH this, declared Rev. Alexander, has a lesson for Christians. It showed the power of co-operation. It took two billions of American currency,the concentrated labor of thousandsof people, the pooling of the besttrains in several countries, Germanyincluded, to produce the atomic bomb. Christians have the best things to offer mankind the gracious gentle, redeeming qualities centered in the creative and redeeming love of Christ. If we Christians only lived these things and embodied them in practical everyday life, war would soon end. A U.N.O. would not be needed. Again this awful Power which has come into modern life must be con­ trolled. Some would vote to bury it in the depths of the sea, and stop its manufacture. That is impossible; but this physical power must be met with a moral and spiritual power. This power is found in Christ. The power of His Cross. The power of His Word. The Power of His Eternal and Holy Spirit That is the only weapon able to meet atomic energy; and as the substance of common lead can only insulate atomic energy, and keep it from working havoc, so the only thing which keeps men and wo­ men from this Divine and beneficient Power in Christ is the evil and un­ surrendered will. If people would only believe and bank on God, the Power of God would lead them to a rich and abundant life in Christ - In closing Rev. Alexander said prayer was a mighty factor in life and to illustrate he referred to the written statement of Hon. Winston Churchill when he was an escaped prisoner of war from the Boers away back in 1900. This brave Eng- lishman feared he would be re-cap­ tured and a Boer bullet would soon end his life, but says Churchill:— I realized with awful force that without thfe assistance of that Higher Power, which interferes in the eternal sequences of causes and events, more often than we are always prone to admit, I could never succeed. I prayed long and earn­ estly for help and guidance. My prayer as it seems to me was swiftly and wonderfully answered.” Winston .Churchill, was kept and preserved for future events. We are all living in a changing world. We must remember we too must be changed. Human nature is corrupt and evil at base; but God can change it. People need not remain what they are. “It’s the “Possible You” under God which counts. It’s the re-born life which God has plan­ ned for all men which counts. Thus Christianity is more than a religion. It’s a vital personal experience which has been demonstrated in millions of lives and as a regenerative Power issues in good-will to all men and flowers into nobility. A't the close of the meeting, Mrs. Greer assisted by Mrs. Harald Gra­ ham, served excellent refreshments.

EVERYONE SHOPS AT WHITE’S BRITISH STEEL EXPORTSHIGHEST FOR 18 YEARS Steel production in Britain during May was at the rate of 13,619,000 tons per year, the highest rate ever reached in this month. The figure for 1938 was 10,398,Q00 tons. This rec­ ord achievement was disclosed by the British Iron and Steel Federation in its statistical survey published re­ cently. The survey also shows that exports of iron and steel during the same month increased to 264,300 tons, an annual rate of 3,168,000 tons, which is higher than the figure for any of the last eighteen years. The total exports of iron and steel for the first .five months of this year were at'the rate of over 2,520,000 tons a year, an increase of 28.6 per cent, on the 1,959,400 tons recorded for 1938.

But real wisdom calls for truth and truth and discretion are not . boon companions. To be discreet one I must have learned that there are some things, which, however knowing one may be of them, it is better to pretend an ignorance. To have a sense of discretion is to be wary; to follow one’s inclination at all times is to be indiscreet, the ’ reverse of wise. Therefore honesty 1 of expression is generally the anti­ thesis of wisdom and the wordly I wise man indulges in it a little. 1 Only the worldly unwise, the , thoughtless and the immatuie, will i say what they think without reser- l vation. The old saying about the chili and the drunkard being the only ones who speak the truth, has some element of truth in it, for the child has no knowledge of the hurt ■ that truth may inflict and the drun-l ken man is robbed for the time ‘ being of his ability to judge the * wisdom or unwisdom of what he in- 1 ndvertantly blurts out It Is there- -fofe" that we say that discretion is ' not always the way of truth but r the way of wisdom. In other words, ’ wisdom and discretion go hand in hand, and truth walks alone and s in the background. No one, used to measuring the effect of his words,! goes as far as he would like in the [ direction of brutal truth; he with- | draws part of the sting and allows i a mildness to permeat his assertions. I But he knows well that had he had the strength of his convictions he would have been more frank and less discreet; more effective at the risk of being less well liked. We are civilized and civilization has taught us that to be wholly honest is to be wholly hated. We like to be honoured and admired and loved and we’ll go to almost any lengths to avoid being shunned and disliked. So we are discreet and put honesty in our pockets or away with the rest of the playthings of our childhood. We may like honesty but few of us feel we can afford it at the price we must pay. Few acknowledge this at all, even to themselves, but a little reflection will very clearly show that it is so. We refuse to say how much we dis­ like a person who may in some way be influential in our favour. We balk at making remarks which are entirely justified, if those remarks m<y reach the ears of someone on whose good opinion we rely for our own or our family’s advancement It isn’t goo(i form to express an opinion that may be controversial and so upset an­ other who must at all costa be kept in good humour. It may appear that these things bring harmony, and in a sense that is true, but harmony that is harmonious, only because one refuses to utter a discordant note isn’t worth having. We must have truth, even if to get it we stir up unpleasantness. That has been the role of a good many great writers. It is what G.B.S. has often done, speaking the truth with a perversity and caustie wit, that made others listen and resent but listen, never­ theless, and think. It is good that there are such fear­ less souls who refuse to learn that discretion is the better part of val­ our. They believe that valour lies in Simcoe, 8; Tillsonburg, 2. Simcoe, 11; Tillsonburg, 9. Simcoe wins series. JUVENILES AT AYLMER Ingersoll Juveniles journeyed' to Aylmer on Friday evening for the first play-off in a two out of three scries. The Ingersoll boys went bn a batting spree and coupled with errors by their opponents came out on the big end of a 17 to 3 score. Lewis pitched for Ingersoll and did his usual good job on the mound. He allowed two walks and struck out 12. Ingersoll placed good clean baseball throughout with only one error. the game was called in the eighth inning on account of darkness. The next game will be held at Ingersoll to-morrow, (Friday), at 6 o’clock. INTERMEDIATE In a league game played here on Saturday, the Lions defeated Tillson­ burg 4-1.

MRS. JOHN W. COOK CALLED BY DEATH A highly respected citizen of Ing­ ersoll for many years, Mrs. John W. Cook, Thames street south, pass­ ed away in the Collins' Nursing Home in Thamesford, on Wednesday morning. Mrs. Cook had not been in good health for the past six months. During the long period in which she resided here, Mrs. Cook had made a wide circle of friends. Her husband, who predeceased her many years ago, was a well known cheese merchant. One son, Jack, also pre­ deceased his mother. What a pity that war brings the best out of people, and peace theworst. No town or city can be greater • than its citizens. Are you doing your part as a citizen to make Ingersoll the kind of town you want it to be? being less discreet but more honest, for you can’t be discreet about things that must be changed. You must shout them from the house­ tops; force the reluctant to hear,, make them for very shame alter what is wrong and allow discretion to be exercised only where it can do no harm; where in fact it doesn’t matter a fig to the world at large whether discretion is thrown to the winds or not Viola Sun Lif 257 Oxford St. Protect Yourself E plus 22; second, Ed.
