MET IN SINGAPORE AND RENEWED THEIR ACQUAINTANCE HERE MR. R. H. MORR1SH CALLED BY DEATH Friends in town were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Mr. R. H. Morrish on Friday, at Goder­ ich, where he was vacationing. De­ ceased came to Ingersoll a year and a half ago from Chicago and had resided on King street west for the past few months. Mr. Morrish was born near Goderich and as a young man taught school in Oxford County, until he became a commercial trav­ eller, which calling he followed for a number of years. Previous to going to Chicago to reside, he lived in Brazil, Indiana for a few years. His wife, the former Margaret Dundas, died suddenly about a year ago since when his daughter, Mrs. Frank Robertson, and his granddaughter, Miss Nancy Robertson, had spent a good deal of time with him. On this recent visit to Goderich, Mr. Morrish had a particularly pleas­ ant time visiting old friends in the scenes of his boyhood, when he was suddenly seized with coronary throm­ bosis. Surviving besides his daughter and granddaughter are two sons, Charles in Greensberg, Indiana, and Chester in California; also his sister, Mrs. W. C. Dundas, Ingersoll. Interment took place in Chicago. ; During his recent residence in Ingersoll, Mr. Morrish had made many friends and was also a member of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, all of whom will regret his passing. NORTH OXFORD COUNCIL OXFORD and NEARBY COUNTY ITEMS FINE PROGRAMME AT SUNDAY EVENING BAND CONCERT Wife—(On returning home after a long visit): "Have you notked’hiit my husband missed me much while I was away, Mary?" Maid—"Well mum, I didn’t notice that he felt your absence much at first, but the last day or two he has certainly seemed very down-hearted, mum." SPLENDID GAMES AT BOWLING GREENS Thursday evening last the top lawn bowlers of the district played their semi-final and final games for- supremacy in the Provincial games for the western section of District No. 3. In the rinks, IngerspU with A. E, Izzard, skip, defeated Tham­ esford; J. Bobier, skip, and Dorches­ ter, K. Clendenning .skip, defeated Jillsonburg, E, Reekie, skip, in the semi-finals. Ingersoll and Dorchester will now play off for the finals for the district In the doubles contest A. Robbins of Thamesford defeated B. R. Barr of Dorchester. In the singles, L. Staples, Jr., Ingersoll, defeated Wm. Carrothers of Thamesford and P. Oliver of Dorchester, defeated T. Joliffe of Harrietsville, in the semi-finals. In the final'game, L. Staples de­ feated Oliver in a very keenly con­ tested game and will now, play in the finals for the district fit Tillson­ burg next week. \ Interesting guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Carr, King street west, were Mr. and Mrs. John Ari of Chicago, who spent Thursday and Friday in reminiscing with Mr. Douglas Carr over their experiences in distant lands some years ago. It was in February of 1939 that Douglas Carr and the Aris first met, in Singapore while on world tours. They spent the day together viewing the sights of the great city that was destined to later experience deep humiliation. From Singapore they took their separate ways, the former to Ceylon, Bombay, Calcutta and Benares; the latter, to Saigon, Bang­ kok, Panang, Calcutta and also Benares, at which latter place they met unexpectedly six weeks later on the station platform, discovering that each was then bound for the Khyber Pass. Only on those who know the vast­ ness of the territory covered by the travellers, does that coincidence make an impression. Each had trav­ elled thousands of miles in opposite directions, passing literally millions of people en route, and yet when their mutual objective loomed ahead, they were once more brought to­ gether to spend six very pleasant weeks in sight seeing. Mr. Ari has recently received his discharge after serving in the Uni­ ted States Navy sihee Pearl Harbor. He and Mrs. Ari have been on a cruise from Chicago to Buffalo, and made the trip from Niagara Falls especially to see the Carrs. BORROWING CAN BE GOOD BUSINESS “Borrowing is sound£when it is for constructive purpoais and when the loan can be repaiff without un­ due hardship.” Thia^jJ the opinion of Mr. Yule, local nflinager of the Bank of Montreal. “There are mnnf. good reasons why people requita&Personal Loans —to meet emergefifes or take ad- vantagUKgf opportunities, to settle worryir6 debts, personal needs or to Buy houi^hold equipment or furnifih-e. Theft are hundreds of others j'V as ItMtiihgte and 1 amvery mucK encA-aged,’1 says Mr. Yule, “to ape so Ynany people losingtheir shynib a mb coming so readily to the Bank^f tfmtreal for Personal Loans for WUa sorts of personal purposes." One important reason for this is the very low rate of interest—one- half of 1% a month, which is equal to 27c a month for a $100 loan, re­ payable in twelve monthly instal­ ments. Equally inlportant is the fact that the Bank of Montreal welcomes small business. just as much as it does large. CONSUMPTION OFPEANUTS CONSIDERABLE The appetite of Ingersoll people for peanuts is not easily satisfied, according to a local dealer who yes­ terday morning received a consign­ ment of 2000 pounds of unroasted nuts from Virginia. Piled on the sidewalk in large sacks, it looked like a lot of peanuts, that would last for a long time. The Tribune reporter was answered that it represented a month’s supply for that dealer only, other dealers also importing large quantities. The regular meeting of the NoYth Oxford Council was held Monday, Aug. 5th, 1946, at 8.30 p.m. as per adjournment. The following mem­ bers were in attendance: Reeve J. Winston Nichols and Councillors James Calder, Pat Hanlon, Gordon Sandick and James W. Allen, who subscribed to the Declaration of Office as the newly-elected coun­ cillor.

Tenders will be called shortly with the idea of work starting early in the Spring. Of a possible 732 voters, 438 exercised their fran­ chise. The holiday exodus from town as well as damp ground resulting from an afternoon shower, were respon­ sible for the light attendance at the Sunday evening concert in Memorial Park, when the Y’s Men’s Boys’ and Girls’' Band under the leadership of Bandmaster A. D. Robinson, ren­ dered an exceptionally fine pro­ gramme as follows: O Canada; March, On Guard; Valse, Sunset on the St. Lawrence; Overture, Victory; Comet Solo, Air Varie—The Old Home Down on the Farm, given by Jimmie Miller; Hymn, "Faith of Our Fathers”; Marimba solo, The Bells of St Marys, by Gordon Cooper of Lon­ don; Overture, Operatic Piecework; Cornet Duet, The Pals, by Jimmie Miller and John Petrie; March, Colonel, Miners; March, The Thun­ derer; Comet Solo, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere, by John Petrie; Over­ ture, The Bandsmen’s Delight; Mar­ imba Duet, March Activity, by Miss M. Harvey and Gordon Cooper; Hymn, “Abide With Me”; The King. Each number was enthusiastically received by the audience.

Sarnia—Effects of burns suffered when a jar of hot applesauce spilled on him, caused the death of the in­ fant son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Nelson of Windsor. The accident happened at the home of the child’s grandpar­ ents, as Mrs. Nelson was preserving. In some manner the boy pulled on his mother’s skirts as she was plac­ ing the top on one of the jars of fruit which slipped from her hands and scalded the lad.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 8th, 1946 Farm Woodiota Valuable Assets Discussing the many aspects and varying con­ ditions of the farm woodlot in Canada, G. A. Mulloy, Sylvicultural Research, Dominion Forestry Service, in an article in the Agricultural Institute Review, said it was evident in view of the facts that a program of advice and assistance to the farmer with the object of bringing his woodlot into full production would pay dividends both to the farmer and to the food-using industries by low­ ering the costs of production and increasing the quality of the wood produced. Farm lands were the most fertile parts of the land surface. It naturally followed that farm woodlots were potentially the most productive forest lands in Canada. That fact was indicated in part, by present production statistics. Farm woodlots occupied only 35,137 square miles out of a total occupied forest lands of 265,526 square miles, or a little over on-seventh of the area. Yet farm woodlots accounted for about 30 per cent of the total volume of wood produced. Fur­ ther, 20 per cent of the value of total wood pro­ duction in Canada came from lands classed as farm woodlots. The 20 per cent amounted in value to $40 million out of a total $195 million—no small contribution of Canada’s national wealth, comparing favourably with the value of wood pro­ duction from the lumber and pulpwood industries. Because woodlots were accessible, transporta­ tion costs were low and it was possible to have high production at low; cost. The accessibility also allowed for a very diversified market. Fence posts, poles, large construction timber, barrel hoops from wire birch, barrel stock, fuelwood, and bther minor products could usually find a ready market in the immediate neighborhood. These were by-products in harvesting wood crops, which in the case of large 'floods operations, could not be readily marketed because of greater transportation costs.z The possibilities of production ' from farm woodlots alone could be estimated. If only 50 cubic feet ,or one-half cord, per acre per year of useful wood were produced on all farm woodlots, the total would be about one-half of the average quantity of wood harvested yearly in Canada from all sources during the past decade. There was every reason to expect that much more wood per acre for pulp or for lumber could be grown on these highly fertile woodlots than from lands hun­ dreds of miles further north. At the same time as much fuel wood as needed could be also produced much of it as a by-product. A moderate measure of forest management of farm woodlots could at­ tain and exceed that objective.

Now that is an interesting point but I doubt if the “Edmonton Journal" is asking for its own information. It does not usually devote Itself to the task of lambasting people just for the fun of the thing. It quotes a case which arose in the City of Toronto where certain gentlemen spoke very disrespectfully of tha C.C.F. candidates in a muni­ cipal election. The candidates took action but the jury dismissed the case of fourteen of the plaintiffs, and awarded one cent in damages to each of the others, presumably on the ground that the defendant had called these two “Communists’. In .truth a light judgment for so serious an offence! All the plaintiffs appealed. The Supreme Court has now dismissed the appeals and upheld the Jury’s verdict. Chief Justice Robertson’s remarks are quite interesting: “A jury is not necessarily per­ verse if it refuses to regard, as seriously as the party assailed may do the seemingly venemous attacks made upon such an occas­ ion. No monetary loss is involved, and the jury is not likely to re­ gard as serious the damage, if any done by rough words applied to a political opponent, even though they may amount to gross abuse.” I think the learned judge was right. We ought not to take offence, at hard talk during an election. The people who are really hurl are those who indulge in the abuse. Some years ago the late Sir James Barrie delivered an address on “Courage” at St Andrew’s Univer­ sity. In the course of his remarks he made this statement: “Never ascribe to an opponent motives meaner than your own. There may be students here to­ day who have decided this session to go in for immortality, and would like to know of any easy way of accomplishing it. Go through life without ever ascrib­ ing to your opponent’s motives meaner than your own . Nothing so lowers the moral currency; give it up, and be great." Valiantly would I like to support this statement. I feel differently from what I once felt on matters of this kind. There was a time when I A Wise Move In The Right Direction The decision of the Ontario Department of Lands,and Forests to extend forestry and wild life protection in Southern Ontario is a splendid one. Northern Ontario has had such service for some time, and Southern Ontario has had a measure of it with county game wardens. Now it will be Pro­ vince-wide, the southern section being divided into six districts, Quinte, Trent, Rideau, Simcoe, Erie and Huron, with a forestry and a wild-life expert in each. This paper has long advocated such a move as being advisable for economic reasons. Wild life and forest growth enabled many of the pioneers in this country to accumulate fortunes. And yet they neglected to replace that which had brought 'them wealth. Soil erosion, barren lands, aban­ doned farms and poverty have resulted in some districts. Now those in authority recognize the need for definite preservation methods, with the ncwly- fornred service as a part? Such methods have long been in practice in Europe, where owners of forest lands have benefitted by the service of experts, who could advise on suitable plantings for certain areas, proper methods of cultivation and those trees ready for felling. Forests to be healthy must have their natural occupr.nts, or they cease to thrive, just as houses left vacant deteriorate. So it is reasonable that experts in each line should work together to de­ velop and protect the valuable natural resources ‘of the Province. In a two game series between the West Side and East Side businessmen, the latter won the opened with the West side winning last Friday 9-4. Captains Partlo and Gibson had their teams considerably strengthened. With Messrs. Beck and Nagle knocked out of the box early in the game, Messrs. H. E. Robinson went in for the East Side and S. A.

The Lowly, But Highly-EsteemedApple Sauce Happy days are here again! Once more the bowl of apple sauce appears on meal tables. Can­ adians love their apple sauce (as food), and last year’s light crop of apples left many of us with an unsatisfied desire. Other climes can send us all kinds of tempting looking fruits, but nothing can take the place of the one that grows in the soil that nurtures us. Nutritic . experts maintain that the best food for people is produced in their own environment, bo the general favour in which apple sauce is held 'in Canada is natural. Visitors from the fruit­ growing district of British Columbia express envy sometimes, at the comparative ease with which apples are raised in Ontario, where the moisture problem is seldom a serious one, as it is in the West Coast Province where millions of dollars have been expended on irrigation. They consider the Ontario apple industry is deserving of greater de­ velopment. Small boys who never seem to get enough of them feel the same way. Tha't is a matter for experts to decide probably, but this we know that seldom has fruit been bo warmly welcomed as has been the ppple this year. 11 YEARS AGO Thursday, Au<u»t 8th, 1935 PERSONALS The Misses Margaret and Marion Muterer spent a few days in Toronto last week. - Misses Jean lltaly and Eleanor Cornish left last week for the C.G.I.T. camp at Normandale. Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Small - and two daughters have returned home from a month’s vacation at Port Maitland. , Misses Jean and Dorothy Jewhurst of Sand­ wich, Ont., spent the week-end at the home of their grandmother, Mrs. Wm.

Mr. Bruce Leckle who has been. away from Ingersoll, for the past few years, has returned to manage the new Naborhood Shoe Store. Mr. and Mrs. Leckie will reside on Wellington Avenue. Neil H. Grassick, Chief of Police for Ingersoll, has tendered his resignation. Chief Grassick came to Ingersoll only last February as successor to the former Chief of Police, Richard Gilling.

So I give theyoung, those with life ahead of them,the words of Sir James Barrie:“Never ascribe to an opponent mo­ tives meaner than youa own." Speaking of the soft answer—how is this? In the first Laurier cabinet there was a gentleman named J. Israel Tarte. He differed from the party on some issues, finally Sir Wil­ frid dropped him overboard. In the following election it became a pop­ ular pastime for the opposition to ask, “What about Tarte". In West­ ern Ontario there was a fluent speaker by the name of Pattullo. One night a not too sober constitu­ ent kept up the cry: “What about Tarte”. Finally Mr. Pattullo pointed a finger at him and said: “Isn’t that just like a Tory, with all the great and pressing problems that now face the nation the only thing he has to say is: •What about Tarte’. I expect it will be bo even to the end of time. Even in that solemn day when all things here shall pass away and the elements melt with fervent heat and the graves give up their dead, away off in some far corner some miserable Tory will shake the ashes from his hair, kick the coals about his feet and interrupt the proceedings by groaning out, “What about Tarte’?” The interrupter sobered up and said no more. Now you tell me one about the Grits! $2,000,000 SET AS THE SALVATION ARMY APPEAL OBJECTIVE Objective of The Salvation Army’s 1946-7 National Home Front Appeal next month will be $2,000,000, it was announced recently by Air Mar­ shal William A.

While on his travels he was thun­ derstruck as he received from his wife a telegram which ran as follows: “‘Twins this morning. More later.” Doless McRabbit, a hare-brained Canadian, shoved himself into a re­ cent issue before we had time-to introduce him to our readers. Doless (pronounced Do-less), is like that. He is a rash and impatient fellow in public affairs. He wants action, usually the wrong action, and often he gets it. About work he is as cool as a cucumber, moving with the un­ hurried gait of a plumber going back for tools. Don’t get the idea that Doless isn’t smart. He is so smart that sometimes he outsmarts himself. A steel trap is a slow motion derice compared with the mind of Doless. He sees things in the distance, many of them mirages. The minds and motives of other men are an open book to him. He knows exactly what every citizen is up to, and to him it is no good. They don’t fool Doless, though often he fools him­ self. Doless has learned a lot, in the fifteen years he has been dodging duty, about how to live on a mini­ mum of labor. He is an authority on what the country owes him, and on how to get it. Luck has been with him. At twen­ ty-three he married Hope who brought great gifts of faith and charity as her dowry. He has sup­ plemented her efforts to support the family from time to time. They have seven children, all bright, healthy youngsters who lake after their mother. They deserve a better chance than Hope can give them even with the Family Allow­ ance which in her case benefitted Doless, \yho saw his chance and earn­ ed that much less. Doless does work, when he can­ not get out of it. The necessity of some labor has driven him to select carefully not-too-steady work, de­ vise means of getting laid off fre­ quently, and to avoid the many un­ suitable kinds of work which might deprive him of unemployment insur­ ance. Every cause which crusades for less work and more pay has his whole-hearted, active and vocal sup­ port. He "isses no opportunity to join in demonstrations, particularly mass picketing in which others can be incited to violence. Time and again he has helped out-manoeuvre and suppress the reasonable major­ ity in his union. He is easygoing around home. The meals are always good he never coin­ plains if Hope is late with his sup­ per, having been delayed in deliver­ ing work. The baby’s crying never bothers him, he lets it cry. On the whole, Doless does pretty well. Social security saves him from all unsuitable work and from most of the unpleasantness of work­ ing at all. His interest in the more- for-less movement keeps his mind active and gives him an outlet for his political gifts. His world is not perfect but it is improving. A per­ iod of inflation will complete his happiness. Deflation and depression are something for farmers, econom­ ists, members of parliament and the unorganized public to be apprehen­ sive about. HARVEST CRITICALTIME FOR POTATOThe parctice of destroying potatotops by spraying the plants with cer­tain chemicals several days before digging the tubers is being more widely adopted by the growers in. Prince Edward Island, where potato production is a major' commercial undertaking. Investigations carried out by the Dominion Plant Patho­ logical Laboratory at Charlottetown and elsewhere demonstrated that late potato blight and rot could be pre­ vented by killing off the potato tops towards the latter end of the grow­ ing season and leaving the crop on the ground for at least ten days. But there are other types of in­ fection. Some rot, especially in badly in­ fected fields, is likely to result from blight spores being washed into the soil by heavy rains during the grow­ ing season, says L. C. Callbeck, Agricultural Scientist at the Char­ lottetown Laboratory. This type of infection may be satisfactorily con­ trolled by following a recommended spraying program and by hilling to ensure that the tubers are covered by at least two inches of soil. Many of the tubers infected will show the bronze discoloration indicative of blight rot at digging* time and most of them should be caught by the pickers. This type of infection is usually the least important, and the greater part of the losses is due to infection which takes place during the actual harvesting of the crop. Many investigators have shown that storage rot may be practically eliminated if the crop is not dug for at least ten days following the complete death of the plants. By that time, the infectious spores too are dead and incapable of causing harm. Growers are more and more realizing that even light epidemics of late blight may cause severe losses un­ less necessary precautions are taken at digging time. As a result, in sea­ sons when severe frosts do not come early enough to destroy the plants and permit digging operations at the usual time, growers are using certain chemicals with which to kill off the tops. Accumulated information from the many experiments which have been conducted in potato growing regions in Canada and the United States has so impressed the manufacturers of fungicides and insecticides that they have realized the great possi­ bilities in this method of controlling late blight and rot. The manufac­ turers and technicians of the Science service, Dominion . department of Agriculture, are developing and ex­ perimenting with many types of chemicals for use by potato growers.

This program can be divided into three phases—breeding, testing and multiplication. The breeding work consists of iso­ lating new inbred lines and combin­ ing inbreds to make successful hy­ brids. Since the foundation of any corn hybrid is, its component in­ breds, it is essential that only out­ standing inbreds be used. It requires at least five years of inbreeding to produce a stabilized inbred from an open-polinated strain, hybrid or single cross. During this period rig- erous selection and top-cross testing reduces the number of lines from hundred^ to a score or less. Many of these are later discarded when they show that they lack in specific combining ability. Upon the present program at Har­ row, only a limited number of double crosses are actually made up and tested. Single cross tests are tho principal work. Through these the yield and maturity values of hundreds of double crossy are pre­ dicted in any one year. These single cross tests are carried on at three or four locations so that as much infor­ mation as possible may be obtained in one year. The outstanding hybrids in the prediction tests are made up the following year and tested as double crosses. Only after a hybrid has been outstanding in both the prediction tests and as an actual double cross is it considered for dis­ tribution. Any hybrids released by the Harrow Station enter commercial production under name “Harvic." Through the. co-operative efforts at Harrow and the Provincial Ex­ perimental Farm at Ridgetown, a plan for the multiplication and dis­ tribution of the foundation stocks of the “Canada” and “Harvic” hybrids is in operation. The Harrow Station is responsible for the maintenancee and multiplication of the inbred lines, whereas the Ridgetown Farm makes the single crosses for distri­ bution to the commercial hybrid seed producer*. The seed producers make the final double cross which is the seed that a farmer buys and plants. Patience is a good thing to exer­ cise, but a bad thing to overwork.

SCOn IS THERE A LIMIT?In a beautiful setting of whitegladioli, hydrangeas, palms, fernsand lighted tapers in white candel­abra, in the Beachville United Church, an interesting wedding took place on Wednesday, July 31st, when Mary Helen, younger daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathe­ son, Beachville, became the bride of John Proctor Scott only son of Mrs. Scott of Newmarket, and the late Mr. Nelson Scott Rev. E. S. Barton performed the ceremony and Mrs. Lome Yeager, Woodstock, sang The Lord's Prayer and “I'll Walk Beside You,” with Mr. Charles Walker of W’oodstock, presiding at the organ. The bride the arm of radiant in a entered the church on her father and was gown of white moire taffeta, with a basque bodice, sweet­ heart neckline, long flowing skirt, accented with a panier hip line. Her appliqued silk net veil, held by a coronet of seed pearls and shells, extended beyond the train. She wore a pearl necklet and carried a shower bouquet of Killarney. roses and stephanotis. The bride’s sister, Mrs. Clare Young of Crediton, was matron of honour and Miss Edna Barratt of Beachville. was bridesmaid. They each wore white mesh, organdie floor­ length gowns, made with bouffant skirts in which were lace insets. They wore sweetheart hats to match and their sweetheart bouquets were of Briarcliffe roses, white gladioli and sweet peas. The grooms­ man was Alexander Henry of To­ ronto. and two cousins of the bride, Howard McBurney and James Mc­ Kay of Embro, were ushers. Following the ceremony, a recep­ tion was held at the home of the bride’s parents, where the large number of guests were received by the bride’s mother, assisted by the groom’s mother. Mrs. Matheson was handsomely gowned, in dewy gray Milady crepe, a large black hat, fuchsia accessories and a corsage bouquet of Johanna Hill roses. Mrs. Nelson Scott wore a becoming gown of grey figured silk crepe, navy blue accessories and a corsage bouquet of Talisman roses and purple sweet- The buffet luncheon was served by the following friends of the bride: Mrs. Howard Riley. Mrs. Ralph Mox­ ley and Misses Donalda Murray, Marion Haverson, Dorothy Budd and Our friends the Americans are an ! amazing people. They are like us : only more so. A group of Democratic-Republican Senators have exempted meat, dairy producte, poultry, eggs and tobacco from the operation of the new price regulations now up for consideration.1 I am not now discussing the whole problem of price control but if there is going to be price control it must apply to wages and farm products as well as to other things. Farm products are mercurial. They rise sharply under pressure, fall swiftly at other times. The rate of wages is a factor in the cost of production. Labor points out persist­ ently that increase in capacity to produce minimizes this difficulty. That is to say if labor produces more it is entitled to receive more. It forgets that increase in capacity to produce is brought about by the installation of new equipment which has a tendency to make labor the less I efficient instrumental of production, j That is machinery displaces men. The United States, however, with stupendous faith in its own power feels that it can ignore economic laws, go its own pace, write its own story. Here is another leading New York “Surveys of show that the range generally from 15 per cent to more than 100 per cent since pre-war days.” ’ This refers to hotel accommodation for tourists during the summer. Many inns which were abandoned before the war because of guest shortages will re-open and will do capacity business with rates as high as $50 a day for two persons. Here is a paragraph which shows how things move: “A hotel in the Adirondacks, formerly $8-up a day for two, now quotes rates of $20 to $30. A big summer hotel in New Eng­ land. charged $15 to $30 a day, double, before the war. It is get­ ting $30 to $U0 this season. An­ other New England Inn, which was on the verge of closing in 1941, : filled up with guests paying 4 to $28 a day for two NEILSON’S COCOA rascY 1LONDONDEBRYRED ROSE TEA omxgz rzioiNUTBIM BABY CEREALTHICK SAUCE orallucmi SANDWICH SPREAD Hmm BRUCE’S BIRD SEED SCOH PAPER TOWELS SHELLTOX INSECTICIDEFURNITURE POLISHJAVEX mcmuiBMwiCHIPSO WHDT AVAZLMLKWYPOF LIQUID CLZAXKS S.O.S.

For the wedding trip to Eastern Ontario, the bride donned a powder blue crepe dress with bengaline trim­ ming and a hat of matching benga­ line. Her accessories were in brown and her corsage bouquet was of Tal­ isman roses. She also wore the groom’s gift, a mink neckpiece and carried a coat of grey Scotian wool. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Scott will reside in Newmarket. What will be the up-shot of all this. The new-rich will patronize them despite cost but there arc tens and scores of millions of Americans who cannot afford to pay $50 a day for an hotel .room for two, nor even a quarter of it and so other accom­ modation will develop. Once more the tourist cabins will enme back. Some hotels now charging exorbitant prices will be closed, people will find the simple life more refreshing.

Lindsey Once long years ago it would pe back in 1940 or thereabouts, I put down in one column the national income of the United States begin­ ning with the year 1913, jumped then to 1929 and consecutive years to 1939, the year which started World War II. I then divided this by total population which gave the average per capital income, then I divided this by the cost of living on the basis of 1923-25 equals a hun­ dred, and the per capita income ad­ justed for changes in the cost of living averaged lower in the period 1929 to 1939 than it did in 1913.

Sarah studied her anxiously,and then she rose and drew Annup with her and said briskly, "Goupstairs to bed and to sleep.”“I—don't feel as if I’d ever sleepagain,” said Ann huskily. "Now, don’t you go dramatic onme, my good girl,” protested Sarahsternly. "You’ll drink a glass ofhot milk with a sedative in it andyou’ll sleep like a baby and in themorning things will look better.One of the most valuable things I've learned in my seventy yearsof living is that things never lookquite so dark after a good night'ssleep. Up with you now, and scoot!1'11 bring you the hot milk!”It was a few nights later thatAnn was alone in the living-room.Sarah was dining somewhere and helping with plans for a BondRally, and the servants had longago gone to bed. The hour wasclose to eleven and Ann was lis­tening subconsciously for Sarah,as she herself sat curled up in adeep chair beside an open window.She had not heard a car in thedrive, but suddenly there was agentle knock at the open windowbeside which she sat, and shejerked to her feet In sharp alarm,just as a voice that would alwaystug at her heartstrings said quick­ly. "Don't be frightened, Ann—it'sonly me!""I'm looking for room and boardfor a pal of mine." Tracy went onquickly, indicating a little dog. “Come around to the door, Tracy—we'll find him something to eat,”said Ann, and felt a little warmrush of tenderness at the thoughtof Tracy's gentleness and kindnessto all small and defenseless things.She was standing at the frontdoor, hold it open when Tracyreached it. As he stepped acrossthe threshold, he looked down atthe anxious-eyed puppy, and saidconfidentially, “We're In. pal—we’re in! I think this is your newhome!" There was milk in the iceboxand Ann warmed it a little beforeshe filled a bowl and put it downon Martha's shining clean lino­leum."Poor little scrap!” r.he said asshe watched the starving puppyeat. “Where did you find him?” “In a vacant lot down the street,where some person 'too kind- I, "where did you find him?" quite sure it had been there at all.and she said lightly, “Well, but, otcourse—are you just finding thatout?”"I've been suspecting it for quitea time!” Tracy told her levelly. Ann looked up at him for justa moment. He made an involun­tary step towards her, caught him­self and said, his voice not quiteeven, “We’d better clear away theremains of the pup’s feast, or yourcook will hate himl”“How right you are!” said Ann,in a tone that tried hard to mateb-his. On Sunday morning the news­papers carried the story of the an­nouncement of the Board of Direc­tors of the beautiful new Children'sHospital, that Dr. Mallyn Frazier,brilliant young gynecologist, hadbeen appointed as Head of theStaff and would assume bis dutieson the first of the month, two dayshence.Ann, reading the account, smiledrather wryly. So Lyn had securedhis precious appointment, and nowshe. Ann. was quite free of him.On Monday at the office Tracymerely greeted her as he greetedthe other reporters; he was asbrusque and as hard to please asalways; but there was a look in hiseyes, at unguarded moments, thatmade Ann's heart sit up on itshaunches and whimper like astarving puppy. It seemed so cruelsuch a wicked waste, that theyshould have to deny their hearts and their loves, just because Lissahad helped Tracy over some roughplaces in his life. But she told her­self quite honestly that Tracywould not have been Tracy if hehad not felt that obligation keenly,and its claim on him.She was going out to lunch oneday when Lissa fell into step be­side her, looking cool and serenein a blistering hot summer sun, ina powder-blue linen trimmed witha few judiciously placed enormouswhite buttons and a white cart­wheel of a hat.“Nick's place is unthinkable ona day like this,” said Lissa lightly.“Why don't you go somewherewhere they have air-conditioning—the Magnolia Room, perhaps?Will you join me in a salad andsomething tall and pleasantlyiced?”Ann was startled. She hesitated.Why should Lizza ask her tolunch? Her first instinct was torefuse brusquely and go her way.But there was an odd gleam inLizza* s eyes, and a queer littlequirk to her lovely mouth thatmade Ann wonder. Now why thedickens should Lissa crave hercompany? It was a thought thatwould bear looking into, and so shesaid pleasantly, “The MagnoliaRuvtn sounds enchanting.”;(TO BE CONTINUED, $9,855.04 BENEFITSPAID TO WORKERS For the first seven months of thia year benefit payments made through the local office of the Unemploy­ ment Insurance Commission amount­ ed to $9855.04.

I OXFORD ST. BUILDINGS BEING IMPROVED The appearance of Oxford street has made a great change because of building changes during the last couple of months. J. R. Barnett has erected a large brick addition to his building just north of the market to provide more space for his imple­ ment repairs and assembling. Fur­ ther to the north Sterling Clark has erected a large concrete building to house his machine shop and it is fast nearing completion. On the west side of the street, the cold storage locker building is also nearing com­ pletion. This is being constructed for Fred George and the building be­ sides containing storage lockers is to have apartments above. All these buildings are between Charles and King streets and will be an im­ provement of property in that are* that is worthy of commendation. The value of anything depends on its meaning to you. linmedalte action is needed to pre* serve millions of acres of Canadian land from ruination by wind and water erosion, is the warning given in The Royal Bank of Canada Monthly Letter for August. Within reach of everyone, east and west, there are evidences of irre­ parable loss of * topsoil, and unless the world is to go in for soilless cul­ ture of crops it is time for a big effort using all the resources of modern science and ingenuity. The article continues in part: “The population of the world has increased from 465 million around the year 1650 to somewhere about 2,200 million. That means, if every­ one is to have three meals a day, an additional drain on farm land of 1,900.000,000,000 meals out of every year's crop of grains, veget­ ables, livestock fodder, and all the other things which contribute to human diet. Yet in 1941 there were more than 4 million acres of aban­ doned farms in the prairie Provinces an acreage which, at the long-time average yield of 15.6 bushels per acre might produce 62,400,000 bush­ els of wheat a year if the land had been saved. “While the tragic history’ of a few decades has focussed attention on sections of the Canadian West, the need for preservation and restor­ ation of crop-growing soil in eastern Canada is also pressing. The 'Gar­ den Province’ is being washed away, little by little. Workmen had to go through 90 feet of mud to reach a solid foundation for bridge piers at Charlottetown, "mud’ which was once the fertile topsoil of crop-grow­ ing acres. In New Brunswick it is reported that one week of high water in the Saint John River carries down as much silts as would cover more than 3,000 acres to a depth of one inch. Ontario is exercised because not only are good agricultural lands being swept away, adding new devas­ tation to the abandoned lands which should never have been opened to agriculture, but the rivers are being spoiled because silt injures the chances of breeding and feeding fish. Quebca has set aside a ten-year fund of ten million dolars to be spent on approved schemes of land utilization. "Soil erosion has been called a ‘creeping death’. It is not only fatal to growth of plants but to the de­ velopment of man. Concurrent with a farmer’s realization that his farm is washing or blowing away, with consequent loss of growth and revenue, there comes loss of morale. A rural population of prosperous • and contented farmers is an asset every country needs, but if morale is ' destroyed, and farmers become apathetic, the whole country suffers. Prosperity on individual farms brings with it benefit to neighbouring mer­ chants, distant suppliers of farm machinery and factories al lover the Dominion. These successful farmers contribute to the national income, and they provide exportable goods which increase Canada’s world trade, with consequent raising of the stand­ ard of living throughout the country. "Under conditions of low produc­ tivity, not only the farmer and his family are affected, but the whole community. A rural municipality, like any other, requires steady tax­ payers. The whole countryside suf­ fers, through lack of funds for edu­ cation, road building, bridge con­ struction, and many other necessary and desirable projects, if the tax­ paying ability of those who live there is reduced. "The level of employment in man­ ufacturing is affected by the pur­ chasing power of all the people, and farm people make up 27 per cent of Canada’s population. If the living standard *of 27 per cent of a country’s population is at a low level, from whatever cause, it is obvious that the standard of living will be depressed everywhere in the country. , “In one small area in Ontario there are 75 farm buildings classed as fair or poor, while 44 buildings have been abandoned or levelled, every one an unwritten story of hope, toil and disappointment. In some cases the land was good to start with, but it was farmed without foresight. The plow made it ready for carrying away by wind or water. Productivity declined. Income de­ creased. Sons and daughters went away to cities. A farm which housed, fed and clothed a big family only a few years ago supports no one, and is a menace to its neighbours. Once it deposited money in banks, bought machinery, was the mainstay of local retail business and a customer of the mail order houses. It helped feed cites. Today it buys nothing, pays no taxes, produces nothing* to add to the national income or the wel­ fare of the country, feeds no one.” After describing the causes and evidences of erosion, the article con­ tinues: “The problem is immeriate. Two English scientists, G. V; Jacks and R. O. Whyte/ joint authors of the book 'Vanishing Lands’, have reported: ‘As the result solely of human mismanagement, the soils upon which men have attempted to found new civilizations are disap­ pearing, washed away by water and blown away by wind. To-day, des­ truction of the earth's thin living cover is proceeding at a rate and on a scale unparalleled in history, and when that thin cover—the soil—is gone, the fertile regions where it formerly lay will be uninhabitable deserts.’ Does it, then, seem far­ fetched when the Farm Equipment Dealer reports that about 14 per cent of the land on this continent has already lost all of its crop-growing capacity? Or when Professor A. E. Coventry of the Department , of Zoology, University of Toronto, says there are in the agricultural part of Ontario some 5 million acres, about one sixth of the whole, unfit for any­ thing except trees, but lacking the trees? Soil drifted from one acre to a depth of one inch, is equivalent to the removal of about 700 pounds of nitrogen, 155 pounds of phos­ phorus, and 5,380 pounds of potash. This amount of phosphorus alone, says a pamphlet distributed by the Dominion Department of Agricul­ ture, is equal to that removed from the soil in the production of 485 bushels of wheat Dr. Wyatt, of the University of Alberta, is quoted as saying it would take from $200 to $350 per acre in commercial fer­ tilizer *to restore these wasted min­ erals. “How long can this go on? Scien­ tists tell us that it takes natfire about five hunda erdesar yis rdyaiPy?tyk five hundred years to make one inch of good topsoil, but this precious source of food and living is being washed from beneath our feet or blown into the air at terrific rates. Look at China, where topsoil has be­ come so precious in the washed-out sections that men have been known to slip from their homes during the night to steal soil by the handfuls from neighbours, so as to have enough to grow beans to feed their families. "The millions of tdns of Canada’s fertile topsoil which have been tvashed into the ocean cannot be replaced, and certain natural pro­ cesses of erosion cannot be com­ pletely stopped though the losses can be reduced to moderate propor­ tions. The Palliser triangle will not be safe until dust storms cease there, the land nailed down by the roots of grass and scientific mechanical usages But there is still time, if Canadians take notice.” A report is given of the work W hat’s a ONE-VISIT LOAN?

Wil... — VETERANS’ CHARTER After examining closely veterans' problems extending over two ses­ sions, the largest commitee of the House of Commons, comprising 60 veteran members, two of them win­ ners of the V.C., has made Ila final report in a sort of “veterans’ • .‘bar­ ter o f proposed legislation, though it is also a review of proposals made from time to time on some matters. Amongst other things, this report proposes legislation to reduce the Veterans’ Land Act Director from Deputy Minister, placing him under direct authority of Minister; exten­ sion of existing veteran’s prefer­ ences to all agencies of Government, including Crown companies; exten­ sion of priorities in purchases of surplus war assets to veterans; re­ mission of income tax of earnings of war correspondents when engaged “in actual theatre of war,” BRIEF VISIT ONLY province, or among the first, to ask the Federal Government to collect its income taxes’”, said in Parliament Hon. John Bracken, leader of Offic­ ial Opposition. “The Dominion Gov­ ernment did so, and we paid the Dominion Government for its extra cost, which was a considerable sum. But as a result the province itself made money because the Dominion Government could collect our pro­ vincial taxes much cheaper than we could, and our taxpayers in the pro­ vince benefitted to that extent.” Therefore, he asked if the Federal Government would consider this plan now since it meant a saving and an added convenience for taxpayers, with the Acting Finance Minister, Hon, Douglas Abbott, replying that it was a matter which could be dis­ cussed “but that the present inten­ tion was that we could not undertake the collection.” SALE WITHIN CANADA It is stressed in Ottawa that the visit to Canada of Field Marshal Montgomery is being made by an winter-departmental committee work­ ing in conjunction with provincial and civic authorities through military authorities in the various military districts, with his visit to this country being comparatively brief since it is only lately that an actual date had been set and the military leader has undertaken to be in Washington on Sept. 10. In fact, it is hinted now in Ottawa that his visit may be so brief that he will travel entirely by air so that he may visit all pro­ vinces in a relatively short time, coming here actually as a guest of the Canadian Government. CHEAPER COLLECTION Before the last war certain pro­ vinces requested the Federal Gov­ ernment to collect their income tax for them since taxpayers found it inconvenient to make two payments. “I know something about that, be­ cause I was on the other >end then and I think Manitoba was the first The Government in Ottawa has been asked about the sale of gold within Canada, it is reportefi here, and it has been pointed out that, following an understanding reached a number of years ago, the gold mines, with a few exceptions, have been selling all their gold to the Mint in Ottawa, with this arrange­ ment being deemed best by the Government so that it is being con­ tinued, especially because, among other reasons, the Government docs not want to encourage private hoarding of gold since it would serve no useful purpose. In additon, it might interfere or reduce the amount of gold available in Canada for the settlement of international balance and perhaps make it a lot easier for highgraders to carry on illegal oper­ ations. protected from crippling lossesshould there be a world slump inwheat prices. This is the commercialadvantage which Canada secures.” Incidentally, information has reached this capital that there were serious low temperatures covering a very considerable area of Alberta and running into Saskatchewan, this being mentioned in regard to frost damage to western crop. “I am told by those who know that it is difficult to make any accurate estimate of what the damage may be, because, as we know, in such frosta in west­ ern Canada certain parts here and there are hit where other parts es­ cape," said Hon. MacKinnon.” In a great many cases it will be imposs­ ible to know what damage has been done until threshing.” SAID IN THE CAPITAL “On the 88th day of the session we have passed five-twelfths of the total budget and some departments haev not even been considered,” said in Parliament T. L. Church (PC- Broadview), on the progress of busi­ ness in the House of Comons ... “I cannot see any difference between an old age pension at sixty-five without a means test, payable to a millionaire and pauper alike, and the payment of family allowance for all Canadian children under sixteen years of age” . . . “The constitution of the world health organization, which has just been unanimously agreed to, is a colorless compromise, but represents a constructive docu­ ment of world-wide scope and im­ mense human significance,” declared Acting Prime Minister Louis St Laurent in commenting in the House of Commons in this world body whose constitution was signed by fifty-one nations of the United Na­ tions and by nine other nations.— (Reproduction Prohibited.) FORMER RESIDENT PASSES IN LONDON HARR1ETSV1LLE MOUNT ELGIN BOTTLENECK CHANGES PLANNED In explaining the bill to broaden the powers of the National Housing Act Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe, Recon­ struction Minister, has indicated in the House of Commons in Ottawa that this bill transfers to the Cen­ tral Mortgage and Housing Corpor­ ation powers previously held by the Finance Minister, this causing the machinery’ created to solve Canada’s housing problem to be placed under one authority. He also disclosed that a proposal is being made to extend lending facilities to lumbering and mining companies obviously to en­ courage the building of family units in housing programmes in outlying areas adjacent to the operations of such firms, ranging all the way from temporary housing units-on skids to fully-modem permanent houses. This bill would also authorize loans up to $5,000 for the buiilding of farm homes, thus placing the corporation in the farm loan business. These were parts of his explanation of a bill to broaden the powers of the National Housing Act, with the add­ ed comment that it is suggested in Ottawa that Canada’s housing situa- ion may become worse this fall and provide a real crisis, probably reach­ ing its peak next spring. Friends in Ingersoll who had known her as Kathleen Ledgley, were grieved to learn of the death of Mrs. Trevor Meriam at her home, “Springbrook Farm", Byron, on Wednesday, following a lengthy ill­ ness, in her 45th year.

Dr. Chase’s KitfneyLiveR Pills IN GRIP OF GENERAL STRIKE Canada is in grip of a “general strike” and its effects on the whole Canadian economy is “absolutely startling”. This has been declared by Donald Gordon, Chairman, War­ time Prices and Trade Board, before the Industrial Relations Committee of the House of Commons in Ottawa where his testimony before this body has made a very deep impres­ sion, especially his disclosure of a special communication which he sent to the Labor Department wherein he issued a grave warning about the impact of the “strike fever” grip­ ping Canada at this time. In this communication Mr. Gordon stated that this “strike fever” would all but end production in many lines al­ ready in a rather short supply posi­ tion, including textiles, steel, con­ struction, furnishings, farm imple­ ments, glass and others. |POINTS OF PACT ht is emphasized in Ottawa that tlft wheat agreement between Can­ ada and the United Kingdom pro­ vides that in the event of the Uni­ ted Kingdom requiring from Canada any additonal quantities of wheat that the Canadian Government is prepared to make available such additional quantities as Canada offers and Britain accepts, this being in all respecls subject to the provisions of the agreement. Then again, the contract provides also that its terms and conditions shall be subject to any modification or amendment which may be necesary to bring it into conformity with any interna­tional agreements or arrangements later concluded to which the two governments are parties. “In de­ terming the actual price in the last two years regard will be had to the extent to which the agreed price for the first two years falls below the world price for that period”, said in Ottawa Canada’s Minister of Trade and Commerce Hon.

In the Province of Quebec, rains the past week have bene­ fitted all crops and the general out­ look is promising. The harvesting of an average crop of hay of good quality is nearing completion. Pas­ turage is in fair to good condition. Grains are filling well in most dis­ tricts and average yields are indi­ cated. Roots are progressing satis­ factorily. An average yield of apples and small fruits is expected. Tobacco plants are in good condition. In On­ tario, scattered showers during the past ten days have been beneficial and crop prospects generally con­ tinue favourbale, but more rain is needed, particularly in Easetm and Central sections o f the Province. Harvesting of Fall wheat is well ad­ vanced and cutting of spring grains is fairly general; about average yields are anticipated. Storing of a slightly below normal crop of good quality hay is nearing completion. Beans, tomatoes, roots and tobacco are doing well? Pastures generally need moisture. In the Maritime Pro­ vinces, favourable conditions have prevailed in most districts and crops generaly show improvement. Addi­ tional moisture is required in parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Harvesting of a below average crop of hay is well advanced. Pasturage is in fair condition. Grains indicate a fairly good yield. The potato crop promises to be good average, other roots show good growth. An average crop of apples of good quality is in prospect. In British Columbia, fur­ ther dry, hot weather throughout British Columbia has continued to benefit all crops, but heavy antici­ pated tree fruit yields has been re­ duced to some extent by serious dam­ age from hail in certain areas of the Okanagan. Picking of a good tomato crop is in progress and all vegetable roots and grains are growing welL Pasture conditions are above aver age.” “They Eat Out Of Your Hand'’ CARLING’S TH£ CARIIKS BREWfRITS LIMITED "THEKING’S HIGHWAY" Butd upon « plctura pain tad tor Cor Unfaby Frad Finlay.
