THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE»• Only Newspaper Published in Ingersoll INGERSOLL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUG. 15, 1946 Single Copy - 6 Cent. - 11.60 Per Annnm - U.S.A., 12.00Vote September 23On Sewerage Project FIRE DESTROYEDBARN AND HAYA special meeting of the TownCottncil was held on Monday eveningfor the purpose of discussing thenaming of a day of voting on a question of a proposed sewerage systemand disposal plant. All members were
present with Mayor Riiey presiding.
A letter was read from Craig
MacKay, of Woodstock, giving his
interpretation of the wording of a
by-law appointing an engineer. A
telegram was also read from War
time Housing Limited advising that
work was commencing on the housing
project.
Mayor Riley asked why the fire
truck was sent out of town without
his authority and who gave the order
during the storm that destroyed a
barn in West Oxf<f-d.
Councillor Watson explained that
he had given the order as chairman
of Fire, Water and Light Committee
and felt he was carrying out a good
neighbor policy.
Mayor Riley said that Mr. Watson
had exceeded his authority in giving
the order and had left the town in
a practically unprotected state dur
ing an electrical storm, and warned
him not to do it again.
Mayor Riley introduced the matter
of a voting day on the sewerage ques
tion and explained the time necessary
for advertising such a by-law before
a vote.
A resolution was introduced by
Councillors Nunn and Spaven nam
ing September 23 as voting day on
the sewerage question.
An amendment came up immedi
ately by Councillors Morrison and
Watson "that whereas this council
has considerable diversion of view
point pertaining to the engaging of
a consulting engineer previous to tak
ing a vote on the sewerage project
and whereas we feel it is of prime
importance in order that the elector
ate be given intelligent information
previous to a vote on the issue and
whereas, due to the unsettled eco
nomic situation pertaining to high
cost of and scarcity of labor and ma
terials leading to a greater outlay of
money than is necessary for a sew
erage project in town at this time,
we forego further deliberations in
regard to sewerage for at least the
balance of the year 1946.”
It was explained by Town Solici
tor Marshall that the naming of a
voting day must be by by-law and
therefore the resolution was of no
effect. A vote was taken on the
other resolution as being in opposi
tion to a by-law to set a date and
Morrison and Watson stood alone for
the resolution. The entire situation
was discussed again with Councillor
Morrison explaining he felt that the
appointment of engineers before the
vote was very necessary, and each
councillor spoke at length on the
matter. It was explained that the 1
same tariff for engineering fee had !
been quoted back in 1912 when first
brought before the electors, namely '
5 per cent. Councillor Watson ex- !
plained in detail some of the addi- 1
tional work yet to be done by engi
neers before work can start.
Councillors Spaven and Horton in
troduced a by-law to name a date
for voting on the question: "Are you
in favour of the construction of a
sanitary sewerage system and sewage
disposal plant in the town of In
gersoll.”
In committee of the whole Coun
cillors Morrison and Watson again
tried to get an engineer appointed
before the voting day and the vote
was tied, with Councillor Horton
feeling the same way as Morrison and
Watson. Mayor Riley cast the decid
ing vote and the vote will be taken
without professional assistance. The
by-law was passed, signed and num
bered 1184.
Councillors Watson and Spaven in
a further effort to have engineers to
assist moved that Councillor Morri
son be empowered to sign the by-law
in place of the Mayor, appointing
Armstrong, Anderson & Co. as con
sulting engineers for file sewerage
system. 0
' Councillor Morrison said that ow
ing to the turn of evenfs he felt he
must decline and so the resolution
was withdrawn.
Councillors Morrison and Watson
engineered the passing of a by-law
naming poll clerks and polling places
for the vote on Sept. 23rd.
by-law was numbered 1185.
Council adjourned at 10.15.
During the storm early Saturdaymorning, lightening struck the siloon the farm owned by Thomas Pye,West Oxford, and operated by hisson, John Pye. The lightning issaid to have struck the silo andignited the barn, which contained theseason’s hay crop. The barn andcontents were totally destroyed. The
Ingersoll fire truck was ordered to go
to the fire by Chairman Watson and
the pumper was taken out by A.
Schaeffer. When they arrived at
the farm the barn was already des
troyed but the men stayed by to
protect other buildings in the vic
inity.
No estimate of the loss was pro
curable, but with building materials
so hard to secure, the loss is serious.
The farm is located about a mile
west of Ingersoll on the Hamilton
Road and the flames could be seen
quite readily from the town by those
who were about at that time.

LITTLE BOY HURT
SATURDAY NIGHT
Downtown traffic on Saturday
night became confusing for Donald
Esseltine, 7-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Irwin Esseltine, R.R. No. 4, at
about nine o’clock. The child was
alone at the time and in attempting
to cross Thames Street from west to
east at King Street, with traffic sur
rounding him, he fell down. A car
driven by Alvin Todd, of Ingersoll,
touched his body, but was stopped
before passing over him.
Todd immediately took the child
to Alexandra Hospital, where he was
given treatment for bruises andshock.
He was able to leave the hospital
on Monday, and is now resting com
fortably at home, no serious condi
tion having developed.
WILLIAM H. McBETH
PASSES IN 71st YEAR
The death occurred on Monday
morning of William H. McBeth, at
his residence, Salford. Born in Dere
ham he was in his 71st year and had
lived there practically all his life.
He had been in failing health during
the past 10 yearft
Mr. McBeth was a member and
honorary elder of Salford United
Church. He is survived by his widow,
the former Clara E. Harris.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon from the Fred S. Newman
Funeral Home, Ingersoll, to the In
gersoll Rural Cemetery. Rev. V. A.
Ray, of Salford, conducted
funeral services.
EARLY MORNING FIRE
AT STORAGE BUILDING
the
The fire brigade responded to a
call at 12.45 Monday morning to
Murray’s Coal Yard, Victoria Street.
Fire had gained considerable head
way in a building used for storage
purposes near the centre of the
Murray buildings.
Four lines of hose were laid and
the firemen were successful in con
fining the flames to the one section of
the buildings. They remained at the
scene of the fire for two hours and
were hampered to some extent in
their work by fumes from some of
the material stored in the building by
National Fertilizers.
Fire Chief Fred Ellis was loud in
his praise of the way the calls for
firemen were handled by the night
telephone operator, Mrs, B. F.
Holmes, as well as the splendid pres
sure supplied by the Waterworks
pumphouse, which was entirely ade
quate for the occasion.
To have seen Ingersoll grow fromthe days when there were 20 storeson Thames Street, when King Streetwas the main business street of the
town, has been the experience of
Mrs. Grace Smith, who will celebrate
her 91st birthday on Monday next.
All of those 91 years have been spent
in Ingersoll, Mrs. Smith having been
born on Cherry Street, where her
parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. John
Craig, resided.
To listen to an account of her life
is to learn of some of the most in
teresting years in the town’s history,
jhen with the development of dairy
ing in Oxford County, opportunities
for other industries were opening
up. It was the time when the Noxon
Farm Implement Foundry had its be
ginning; when Mr. Rumsey’s foun
dry on Charles Street was at the
K?ht of its activity, when Mr. Mur-
h’s carriage factory on King
ect West, and Mr. Kerr’s on
Thames Street, near the river, were
busy turning out conveyances for the
prospering farmers of the district.
When Mrs. Smith, as Grizzell
Craig, attended the public school, it
was a small affair compared with the
present building.
■ In her younger days, there were
f'n Presbyterian churches, Erskine
T Charles Street West, and Knox on
st. Andrew's Street.
Mrs. Smith remembers the first
store on Thames Street, which bore
the imposing sign of MacDonald’s
-Emporium, where groceries and china
were sold.
The great fire of 1872 fa still„rall.d, „hen „t;r
S a / r J h,amCS Stre€t betw een
King and Charles, was reduced to
praycr’mccl,nfr ni*’nt
Erskine Church and people attending
from the north side had to detour
through the south side of the town
and across Mutual Street bridge in
order to reach home.
Mrs. Smith remembers when the
p resent hopsital building was
erected as a residence for Mr. JamesNoxon.
There were no street lights when
Mrs. Smith was young. People
stayed in their own homes at night
more than they do now. When they
did venture out they carried candles,
and later, oil lanterns.
To those who incline to the opinion
that less work would mean a happier
life, Mrs. Smith's life is a flat con
tradiction. Hers has been a busy one
from the days when she learned dress
making at Miss Webster’s establish
ment, then after her marriage to
John Cornelius Smith she brought up
a family of three sons and two
daughters, finding time as well, to
help with nursing when there was ill
ness in the neighbourhood, and for
two trips to British Columbia.
She has as great a zest for life as
ever, being occupied with housework,
sewing and gardening. When there
is time for leisure Mrs. Smith makes
exquisite tatted lace in intricate pat
terns. She continues to take an ac
tive part in the life of St. Paul’s
Presbyterian Church, being a member
of the Ladies’ Aid, and a regular at
tendant at the services.
At the home of her son-in-law,
Mr. William Bailey, on the Cemetery
Road, Mrs. Smith is in a suitable en
vironment, in one of the oldest
houses in Ingersoll, the first Church
of England rectory here. Her spirit
seems to be one with the garden and
surrounding fields, part of something
that has come up with time and will
go on as long as time lasts.
Of her five children, four are liv
ing: John in London, Homer in 1
Fergus, Mrs. Bailey (Rose) with
whom she makes her home, and Mrs.
McKinnon (Grace) of Bethany, On
tario, with whom she plans to spend i
her birthday.
The Tribune, with a host of
friends, takes this opportunity to .
offer hearty congratulations to Mrs. |
Smith. J
The death occurred on Tuesdaymorning at Woodstock of a well-known and highly respected nativeof Ingersoll, in the person of CharlesJ. Pellow. He had not been in goodhealth for the past two months but1 had only been confined to his bed fora week prior to his passing. Born inIngersoll he was in his 65th year.

The officials of the Ingersoll TurfClub are continuing their preparatory work for their big day of horseracing to be held on Saturday,August 24th. All the horsemen ofthe district have been invited to bring
their trotters here for the day and
some have already signified their in
tention of entering.
The track is in excellent condition
and has been constantly worked up
with graders. The judging stand will
be placed and renovated and a knoll
that obscured the view of the track
on the southeast turn has been re
moved, with the result that the oval
is now reckoned to be one of Western
Ontario’s better half-mile tracks.
Fences are being placed in good re
pair and the grove to the east of the
grandstand has been cleared for
suiable parking space for cars. Al
together the entire grounds at Vic
toria Park are now in first-class con
dition and the citizens can be proud
of such an enthusiastic organization
as Ingersoll Turf Club.
Manufacturers of the town are
supporting the Club in a substantial
manner by sponsoring the different
events. The 2.27 and three-year-old,
trot or pace, is being sponsored by •
National Fertilizers Limited. The
Ingersoll Machine & Tool Co., Limited
is sponsoring the 2.22 trot or pace,
and the 2.18 trot or pace is sponsored 1
by Morrow Screw & Nut Co., Limited. 1
All of these events will offer purses '
of $300 each and will consist of 1
three heats in each event.
An open running race sponsored ’
by New I/lea Furnaces Limited with 1
a purse of $100 will consist of two 1
half-mile heats. Government con- ‘
trolled wagering will be allowed with ’
every heat a race. <
The time for the first race is set at
two o’clock daylight saving time, and 1
all will be in readiness to take care 1
of a record crowd for a fine after- 1
noon of the "Sport of Kings”. Prcsi- ’
dent Burton Harris and his fellow c
officers surely merit the wholehearted f
support of the citizens of Ingersoll *
for their efforts not only to put our s
park in splendid shape but for their 1
efforts to supply a real entertain- ’
ment feature.
David Frazer, 6 Currie Avenue,Toronto, was fatally injured on No. 2Highway*, near London, late on Sunday night, August 4th, when his carcollided with one driven by FrankPenn, of Lucan.A heavy fog at the time madevisibility difficult, and the collisionoccurred without any warning.
Dr. T. M. Weir, of Thamesford,
was called and brought the injured
man to Alexandra Hospital, whcve
at first his condition was not thought
to be grave. However, he suddenly
became worse and passed away onFriday afternoon.
The body was forwarded to To
ronto for burial from the F. S. New
man Funeral Home.
A charge of dangerous driving has
been laid against Penn, who will ap
pear in police court on August 23rd.
Many Cases Dealt With

Work Started OnNew Building ProjectWork commenced on Mondaymorning of this week on the homesfor ex-service men at KensingtonPark. The contractors are BoothConstruction Co., of Niagara Falls.The project is for 35 houses on plan,
of Wartime Housing Limited and
practically all of them have been
spoken for.
Local labor will be used as far a*
possible and while labourers are
said to be adequate, the Selective
Service office has been asked to sup
ply a number of carpenters for both
rough and finished work. Mr. Mc
Dermott will bq^glad to place any
men in this class of craftsmanship
if they will advise him of their avail
ability.
The Public Utilities Commission
has been given instructions to pro

New Enterprise
Is Proving Successful
Quietly and efficiently a new in
dustry is operating in Ingersoll, un
known to the many people passing
its doors each day.
In the former Watterworth build
ing, King Street West, H. L. Jackson
and his staff of four, are turning out
on an average of 10 guitars a day.
Until about a year ago Mr. Jack-
son had lived in Beachville, where,
for five years he taught lessons in
guitar-playing. Finding it difficult to
procure instruments for his pupils he
decided to enter the manufacturing
field, choosing Ingersoll as a suitable
centre for distribution. Since that
time at least 500 guitars have been
made and sold with sufficient orders
to keep the concern operating for the
next ten years.
Last December’s venture was not
Mr. Jackson’s first experience in the
field of guitar manufacture. Some
years ago he spent three years in
Cleveland, Ohio, at Honolulu Music
Conservatory, the largest institution
of its kind in the world. Operating
on the principle that the best musi
cians are those who understand the
construction of their instrument,
pupils are instructed in making gui
tars completely. So, he knows what
is to be expected of the products of
his factory, and no detail in their
construction is/.^erlooked.
At first the shortage of supplies
delayed the work, but they are com
ing a little more freely now, thoughslowly.
The greatest difficulty is in pro
curing hard coal, as proper heating
of the building is absolutely essential
in the glue settjng.
The guitars are sold both whole
sale and retail, and because of the
greatly increased demand there is
every prospect of the business ex
panding when labour and materials
are more easily available.
When interviewed by a Tribune
reporter yesterday morning, George
Lunny, local rehabilitation officer,
stated that conditions in Ingersoll
and district, as far as returning vet
erans are concerned, have been fairly
fortunate, as most returned men arc
working. In some cases they are not
filling positions which they prefer,
nor for which they are best fitted,
but which have been available at the
time. When more suitable openings
occur, they would like to hear of
them.
Since the beginning of the year,
benefit payments well in excess of
$400 have been made, but at the
present only one veteran is receiving
out-of-work benefit, and he will be
gin training for a position in a week
or so.
What, with the excitement of re
turning home and the adjustments
necessary for reversion to civilian
life, many ex-servicemen have not
become fully aware of the service
offered by the local rehabilitation of
fice. As they realize this, they avail
themselves of it more, with the re
sult that there is an increase in the
number of requests for re-estabhsh-
ment credits. This credit consists
of: a grant equal to the basic war
service gratuity—$7.50 for every 30
days qualifying service, plus 25 cents
for each of those days served over
seas. It is available to veterans who
do not take advantage of the Veter
ans’ Land. Act, or training and educa
tional benefits. It also provides fi
nancial assistance for a home, a busi
ness, tools and equipment, for a
trade, profession" or business, or for
government insurance.
The local office will continue to
offer service as long as it is required,
as it is authorized to deal with all
branches of the rehabilitation pro
gramme, and when necessary, to ap
peal to a higher department.
Said Mr. Lunny: “If we don’t know
the answer, to the problem, we knowwhere to get it.”
MUCH SMOKE
BUT LITTLE FIRE
The fire department received a
call on Saturday at 11.45 a.m. to the
residence of Ewart Wilson, Charles
Street East. Some rubbish in the
furnace had become ignited while the
pipes were down for cleaning, and
the basement and first floor of the
house became filled with smoke. The
fire was soon quelled and damage to
the exterior of the house was causedby smoke only.

INGERSOLL MAN FINED
IN WOODSTOCK
SHOPPERS WERE OUT
EARLY ON WEDNESDAY
, Housewives of Ingersoll were out
early on Wednesday morning looking
for supplies. Fruit and vegetables
are to be found in abundance m the
shops now, with prices fairly reason
able; apples are 59c, tomatoes 66c,
and potatoes 36c for six-quart bas
kets. Peaches were 75c.
Enquiries among the merchants re
vealed a variety of answers to ac
count for the noticeably increased
activity on the front street, even for
a Wednesday morning. .
With the re-opening of school just
three weeks away, mothers are bt-
gining to think of autumn wardrobes
for their children. Short supplies are
met with in most lines.
Tourists appeared on the streets
in greater numbers and were on the
lookout for gloves, hosiery and hats.
One dealer reported a greatly in
creased demand for felt hats.
In one store, soap powder was
quickly snapped up by the early
shoppers—many of whom had come
out especially to look for that.
Those who wanted nails, shoes,
hosiery, underwear or shortening
were disappointed.

Eugene F. Steinhoff of Ingersoll,
was fined $10 and coat*, $18.75 in
all, in the Woodstock police court on
Wednesday for interfering with the
police when they attempted to arrest
an intoxicated companion of hi*, fol
lowing their eviction from a hotel
Because of his being a service
man with overseas duty to his credit.
Magistrate Groom stated the penalty
was made light, but added the warn
ing that such conduct could not be
tolerated.
On Saturday afternoon a milestone
* in Canadian history was marked at
1 an interesting ceremony in Paris,
where a plaque was unveiled on the
Appleby-McCausland block, where the
’ office of the Dominion Telegraph
> Company was located, and where the
' world’s first long-distance telephone
■ call was received by Alexander
' Graham Bell 70 years ago.
Back in 1876 the idea of being
able to “speak over the wires” for
any distance was a fantastic one—
but Alexander Graham Bell was surp
it could be done. By a series of ex
periments, assisted by Thomas A.
■ Watson, technician, he finally attained
his goal. His thrill on hearing his
‘ father’s voice from Brantford as he
' listened in Paris may well be ima-
, gined. Few of his contemporaries
' realized the far-reaching possibilities
I of his invention, although Dr. Bell,
, himself, did, for in 1878 he wrote
, to some business men in England
, that it was "conceivable that cables
! of telephone wire could be laid un
derground, or suspended overhead,
communicating by branch wires with
private dwellings, country houses,
shops, manufacturers, etc., uniting
them through the main cable, with
the central office where the wire
could be connected ..... Such a
plan as this, though practicable at
the present moment, will, I firmly
believe be the outcome, of the intro
duction of the telephone to the public.
I believe, in the future, wires will
unite the head offices of the tele
phone company in different cities,
and a man in one part of the country
on communicate by word of mouthwith another in a different place.’’
Those ^ere the words of a prophet,
who was granted the privilege of
seeing his visions materialize.

All Western Ontario Benefits From
Springbank Park
Residents of South Western Ontario have reason
Uo be grateful to those men of vision who planned
Springbank Park, London. With no congested
areas hereabout, the need for natural, parks, that
might arise in the years to come, was overlooked
by too many town planners during the hot cen
tury. So Springbank offers something rthat no
other community in this district can give. .
-Set in a beautiful natural setting on the banks
of the winding Thames, whose scenic possibilities
have been so slowly recognized, the park possesses
everything an out-of-doors recreational centre
should have. There is quiet in its shady Dells;
winding roads, bordered by beautiful gardens, are
there for those whose quest is only some place
for a leisurely drive, free from traffic jams; picnic
facilities are provided on a generous scale, with
sufficient tables and benches to accommodate a
large crowd; boiling water on tap assures the hot
tea or coffee that add so much to the comfort of a
picnic; a high degree of cleanliness has been main
tained, even during the trying years of labour
shortage.
The zoo, somewhat depleted of late, gives many
children as well as grown ups, their only glimpse
of unusual specimens of natural history. One has
only to s ee the eager interest of the children
watching the antics of the monkeys; the fawns at
their play; the sober mein of the Arctic owl, who
■ knows and hides so much of the mystery of the
North; the Peacocks strutting about “in any kind
of weather", to realize the joy experienced by the
litle ones in a trip to Springbank Park.
Added to these attractions, is a wading pool,
$>ony riding and a miniature railway, all giving
the right touch, without any suggestion of a mid
way show. The whole' place indicates the most
thoughtful consideration for all tastes, from child
hood to maturity, where people may literally find
re-creation of spirit. When the Thames River
Project gets under way extended boating facilities
are promised.
Western Ontario might well be proud of the
metropolis that shares its amenities over a wide
area. .
Weeds Have No Place In Our Economy
The busy sowers of the Spring are reaping a
rich harvest, upon which they may gaze with sat
isfaction. Flowers, fruit, vegetables and grains are
growing in abundance. Once one has known the
taste of garden fresh vegetables, they are not
likely to be satisfied with those even a few days
old. Food, which is of great importance to our
existence, deserves every consideration and care.
It is therefore distressing to sec the increasing
menace of weeds.
The soil cannot give of its full richness to nec
essary food, if it must nourish weeds too. They
ore by nature greedy feeders, and by heredity
/possessed of strong constitutions, enabling them
to win in the struggle for survival. It is hardly
logical to incur the expense of fertilizers, only to
allow weeds to get most of the nourishment. .
The only way to deal with them is to deprive
them of the opportunity to propagate. They should
be checked as early in their career as possible On
no account should they be allowed to reach the
seed stage.. Eternal vigilance is necessary, but they
can be checked.
Perhaps you have not a garden yourself, so you
think a few weeds about your property can do no
harm. Good neighbor, those weeds are costing
you money. They will multiply next year, carry
ing their seeds elsewhere—perhaps to the farm
whence comes food for your table. Because of
those weeds, you nfight get food of inferior
Ajuality.
The process of cleaning weed-contaminated
grain adds to the cost thereof. Part of your taxes
now are required to pay a weed inspector, also
for men and equipment for cutting those in pub
lic places. A few years ago you might have pre
vented some of those weeds growing by eradicat
ing what were on your own property.
Weeds are the most expensive crop grown, andwe cannot afford them.
Churchill Might Have Said It
“A Churchill, faced with Canada’s strike-crip
pled industry, might well say: ‘Never was so much
stolen from so many by so few*.’’ says The Finan
cial Post editorially. “The few are the strike
agitators, the many their 12 million fellow citizens,
the much both goods add wages needed by everyCanadian.
“A strike of 400 workers at a relatively small
southwestern Ontario plant which began July 12,
points up the critical nature of the question. Brun
ner, Mond Canada Ltd., at Amherstburg, Ont, is
the source of soda ash for all Canadian industry;
and when its furnaces went cold, the effect cut a
wide swath right across the industrial field. It hit
glass, pulp and paper, soap, aluminum, nickel,
silicates, gold and base metal producer, sugar and
petroleum refining, dairies, breweries, laundries,
food packing. And it all started with 400 workers,
probably stirred up by the merest handful of agi
tators. f“If a foreign power were interested in tying our
hands behind our back, either with the object of
stealing our world markets or our whole country,
how better to do it than by a strategic spotting of
strikes? It would be easy enough for economists
and engineers to observe Canadian industry, either
first hand or through available reports to put X’son the map and to dispatch trained and practicedmonkey wrenches to fix the machinery. With afew ramparts taken, the whole stronghold could
be theirs.”

“THE BIG BOSS”— by —
R. J. Deachman
I did not write this article. It
came to me from an Ontario
business man who is a keen stu
dent of economic affairs, a man
who knows that neither labor or
capital has the. final word in the
making of a prosperous nation.
Back of both there is another—
his orders are obeyed, he determ
ines whether capital or labor works
or idles. Who is the real master?
You will meet Mm, not for the
first time, in the final paragraph
of this story.—R.J.D.
“Those- who know him call him
“The Big Boss.” They say he is the
largest employer in the country.
Some go as far as to say he is the
only employer. He doesn’t look much
like a boss, as bosses go. He is big
and trmendously strong, but he is
ungainly, easy going, not at all alert.
Apparently he is not much interested
in what his employees are doing.
You never see him bossing them or
throwing his weight around.”
“Perhaps that is why so many of
his employees ignore him. they fail
to realize that he is the real boss.
They organize for the purpose of
holding him up, and expect him to
come across every time they do it.
He doesn’t seem to resent this, he
never fights back. He is of slow
speech, and quite incapable of or
ganizing any defence. In the end he
has his own way. Despite apparent
indifference, he functions with mark
ed efficiency.“On the other hand he is not at all
sentimental in dealing with his em
ployees. He shows neither gratitude
for faithful service nor resentment
over past offences. Day after day he
goes into the market and hires the
labor he wants. He is not moved by
sympathy, no amount of pleading
will change his mind. Your need is
no concern of his. The problems of
capital are not his headache. He in
sists on treating labor as a commod
ity to be bought and paid for. with
no further obligation on his part.
Laws have been passed declaring that
the worker has a vested right in his
job and that the employer has a re
sponsibility for the future of his
workers. To him these laws have no
meaning. He ignores their existence,
hires and fires at will.
“Wise workers watch him closely,
try to anticipate his wants, supply
his needs. In that way they keep
themselve s employed. Though his
needs are infinite he has a wonderful
capacity for doing without. That is
the secret of his power.
“He is the Consumer. He buys all
the goods, meets all the pay-rolls.
Without him there would be no em
ployment, no wages. He is the one
we seek to hold up when we demond
more pay, shorter hours. Nothing enn
change him from his course. He
does not worry about organized lab
or. He does not dread the power of
the state. If we push our demands
too far he does without us. Our
fate is in his hands. He is in the
market places of the world. The
workers, the manufacturers, the dis
tributors must bring their minds into
harmony with the Consumer, the Big
Boss. Failure to do so means idle
capital, unemployment and poverty.”
B • •
THE BIG BOSS SQUAWKS
“More shoppers are holding off for
what they want. Only fractions of
yesterday’s waiting lists are to-day’s
buyers.”
“A Portland, Ore., merchant with
19 customers on his waiting list for
refrigerators, discovered only 3 now
want them.”
A “New York department store
advertised a big white-shirt sale,
20,000 at $4.98 . . . expected tre
mendous response . . . which didn’t
materialize.” —From an advertise
ment of the “Wall Street Journal.”
The question as to when poultry
of different classes should be fat
tened depends for a satisfactory
answer upon several factors, states
the Dominion Department of Agri
culture publication “Fattening Poul
try for Market”. Of these factors,
the price paid is one of the most im
portant. Broilers should be fattened
as early as Ls consistent with their
being large enough, because prices
for early broilers are much the best.
Fryers, being considered as light
chickens, command a relatively low
price.
With heavy roasters fall prices
are relatively stable and the time to
fatten for market depends largely on
the relationship between the amount
of feed consumed and the gain being
made. The time will arrive, usually
at from 24 to 26 weeks of age, when
gain has slowed down to a negligible
amount but feed consumption will
remain high. Economy demands that
when this conditon is reached, the
birds should be fattened for market.
This class of bird should not be left
too late, because, as they reach
maturity they develop heavy muscles
and are classed as stags, for which a
lower price is paid regardless of
whether they are fattened or not.
Types of poultry stock that .re
quire fattening are cockerels of all
ages, whether marketed as broilers,
fryers, or roasters. Capons require
little if any fattening, being usually
sufficiently fat and soft fleshed, if
killed off range. The labour and cost
of fattening roosters, pullets and
hens is rarely justified. Cockerels of
the light breeds, such as Leghorns,
are uneconomical if fattened after
broiler age and are discriminated
against on most markets.
Further information, including
methods of pen and crate fattening
equipment, selection of birds, fatten
ing feeds, management and handling
the birds after fattening, will be
found in the publication (No. 745)

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUG. 15, 1946 Page 3Visitors To TheNational Parks MRS. JOHN KNIGHTPASSES IN 85th YEAR MOUNT ELGIN
The death occurred on Friday
Visitors to Canada’s National
Parks where a day to day record
is kept numbered approximately
460,000 up tp the end of July
according to a statement released by
the Honourable J. A. Glen, Minister
of Mines and Resources. This com
pares with an attendance of approx
imately 600,000 during the wholee
of 1945 and is perhaps indicative of
the increased tourist travel all over
Canada in this the first year of
peace.
During the month of July alone
60,873 visitors passed through the
Eastern Gateway ip to’Banff National
Park, Alberta, an increase of morq
than 18,000 over the same month
last year. The other National Parks
in Alberta also report similar per
centage increases in the number of
visitors. Waterton Lakes attendance
figures jumped from 19,000 to
45,000; Elk Island, the home of the
buffalo, from less than 10,000 to
nearly 17,000; and Jasper National
Park from 4,000 to 7,500 as com
pared with July of last-year.
In Saskatchewan, Prince Albert
National Park had 11,700 visitors
compared with 8,000 in July, 1945,
and Riding Mountain National Park
in Manitoba, had nearly 55,000 an
increase of more than 15,500 over
same period last year.
Jnly reports from the National
Parks in British Columbia, Ontario,
Prince Edward Island and Nova
Scotia all tell a similar story—sub
stantial increases over July of last
year. For instance, Kootenay Na
tional Park in British Columbia, had
an increase in visitors from 8,700
to 21.600; Point Pelee in Ontario,
from 19,400 to 30,800; Prince Ed
ward Island National Park from 17,-
000 to 21,000; and Cape Breton
Highlands National Park in: Nova
Scotia from 5,000 to 7,000.
A feature of this year’s attend
ance at the National Parks is the
number of visitors bringing their
own camping equipment, including
many automobile trailers, and mak
ing use of the campgrounds which
have been equipped for that pur
pose in all the National Parks. Sup
erintendents report that these camp
grounds have been used to a greater
extent than ever before thus reliev
ing the pressure on other park
accommodation.

BANQUET IN SARNIA
To mark his retirement after
nearly fifty years of service with the
Grand Trunk and later the Canadian
National Railways, C. A. Saylor of
Sarnia, was tendered a banquet,
attended by more than 400 guests,
as reported by Canadian National
Magazine.
Mr. Saylor, who was bom in Ing
ersoll in 1881, has been a successful
locomotive foreman, having worked
his way up from a machinist’s
apprentice, to the position which he
has just relinquished, in which his
was the responsibility of training
other locomotive foremen, seven of
whom presented him with a silver
plaque to commemorate his work.
He was also made the recipient of
a wallet containing money, by the
enginemen and mechanical staff of
the C.N.R. Sarnia terminal. Mrs,
Saylor was presented with a bouquet
of roses, a beautiful purse and a
painting.
After leaving Ingersoll, Mr. Say
lor went to Point Edward, Ontario,
later being promoted to Hamilton
and Windsor and finally to Sarnia
in 1918. .

BEES SIGNAL CORPS
ALWAYS ON ALERT
Bees have a highly developed
code of signals by which they com
municate quickly with one another,
for .instance in passing the word that
the way is clear for plundering a
certain hive. During July and Aug
ust, a shortage of nectar secretion
in flowers causes the field bees to
stay aroun > the apiary.' Should the
beekeeper in a careless examination
of his colonies leave the supers or
hives exposed for some time, the
bees from the strong hives will steal
the nectar. These robber bees at
once pass the information to the
field bees in their own hive. Then
the reinforced troops go on a rob
bing spree and, if the robber bees
can overpower the guards of a
weak colony, they will remove 30 to
50 pounds of honey in two or three
hours, leaving the inmates of the
hive and their queens to starve to
death.
A desultory honeyflow in any year
has a tendency to cause robbing and
says the bee expert at the Dominion
Experimental Farm nt Brandon,
Man., beekeepers should exercise
care to keep the supers covered as
much as possible when examining
colonies and avoid scattering honey
from shaken frames on the grass.
When robbing has started in an
apiary, all colonies should have their
entrances contracted to allow pass
age for only one bee at a time, and
it is sometimes wise to put out a
solution of sugar syrup a short dis
tance from the apiary to attract the
robber bees. The sugar solution is
gradually reduced In strength until
conditions in the apiary return to
normal. M
Scientist (to Pharmacist): “Give
me some prepared monaceticaci-
dester of salicylic acid.”
Pharmacist: "Do you mean
aspirin?” ’ -
Scientist—"That’s right 1 I can
never think of that name.”

National Magazine contains an ac
count of an interesting ceremony
that took place last month at Jasper
National Park, when Emperor Is
land, built by Paramount of Holly
wood, was transferred from United
States custody to ownership, by the
Dominion of Canada.
The floating island, one quarter
acre in extent, was ocnstructed and
launched on Leach Lake, and used as
a setting for love scenes,, withCrosby and Joan Fontaine, when*
they werp making the film “The
Emperor WAltz,” in the Park. Miss
Fontaine made the presentation of
the island to Major J.' A. Wood,
park superintendent The colorful

Here is the prayer:
Give us, Lord, a bit of sun,
A bit o’ work and bit o’ fun;
Give us all in the struggle and

Our daily bread and a bit o’
butter;
Give us health, our keep to make,
An’ a bit to spare for poor folks’
sake.
Give us sense, for we’re some of
us duffers,
An’ -a heart to feel for all that
suffers.
Give us, too, a bit of song,
An’ a tale, and a book to help us
along,
An’ give us our share o’ sorrow’s
lesson
That we may prove how griefs a
blessin’.
Give us, Lord, a chance to be
Our goodly best, brave, wise and
free,
Our goodly best for ourselves and
others.

The Magnolia Room was on thesixth floor of the city's mostpopular department store.On a blazing hot day the dimgreen walls splashed with the coolbeauty of giant magnolia blossomscupped In their thick dark greenleaves, tables like small white
pools with shaded lamps, and with
neat-looking mulatto girls In printdresses and white aprons to servethe delectable food, it was not odd.Lissa and Ann were given a smalltable, and the pleasant little mulatto girl took their order and departed.Ussa said, her slim hands foldedon the table, "I haven't seen youaround much lately. I mean at the
night spot."“It’s so hot—and I’ve been pretty busy," answered Ann evasively."Oh, yes, an engaged girl andher trousseau," said Ussa, andsmiled, though not with her eyes."When’s the great day? Or haven’tyou set the date yet?"Ann hestiated and then she saidevenly, "No—we haven't set the
date yet" .
Ussa laughed. "Well, if I werein your place, I wouldn’t lose anytime. Dr. Frazier's darned ■attractive, and with so many men awayat the war, he’s likely to besnatched up any minute," she suggested lightly.’Tm not worried." said Ann,and meant it; though not, of
course, the way Lissa took it
"Hi, wait upl” protested Ussa,shocked. ’That’s no way for anengaged gal to talk! What do you
prettQy, "I’m not tn the least inlove with Tracy. He's a sweet oldthing and I'm terribly fond ofhim but I haven’t the faintest objection to bis marrying you. if hewants to!"On their way out of the tearoom,half an hour later, there were anumber of women chatting in thefoyer, waiting for tables, andamong them was a slender blondewith too much make-up, wearinga sheer, thin black frock and anenormous black cartwheel hat.
As Ann made ber way through
the group she came face to facewith the blonde, who started, andshrank a little, before she recovered herself to say hesitantly, “Oh—hello, Ann."And Ann said evenly, “Hello,Julie."There was a tiny taut silence,and Lissa looked curiously fromAnn to Julie, so that Ann knewthat Lissa expected to be introduced.“Julie, this is Miss Marven,
Lissa, Mrs. Bartoni”
And Lissa said, round-eyed, with
every evidence of delighted surprise, "Not Julie Barton?”The painful red surged up underJulie's too-heavy make-up and hereyes looked sick and hunted. Butshe said evenly. "Yes, Miss Marven—I’ve beard a lot about you, too.”Lissa laughed. "Not really! I'm
a taxi, put Julie into it and toldthe driver the address.At home that night Ann foundSarah waiting for her, with thenews that they were having guestsfor dinner and dinner would baput back an hour.Ann smothe.ed her wearinessand her impatience at the thoughtof guests and dutifully took time_.a A— ———Ia^I*
tlest It was time well spent forwhen she came down the widestairs, she looked truly lovely. Atleast to the man who stood at thefoot of the stairs, and watched herdescending, there had never beenanything in the world more lovely.For a moment she stood quite
atm on the bottom stair, and look
ed at Tracy with wide astounded
eyes."What—what in the world areyou doing here?" she demandedswiftly.Tracy grinned. "Tm just as surprised as you are!” he admittedfrankly. "Your grandmother calledme an hour ago, and asked me to
come to dinner. She was very in
sistent—not that she needed to be,of course. I was delighted.”Ann's bead was swimming a little.“But—she didn't say anythingabout your coming—she said wewere having guests—and made medress up—'* she said hurriedly, be-
mean—you're not worried? Thatyou are so sure of him you're sureno other girl could take him? That
is flying in the face of Fate, to burl
• challenge like that!”“I—didn't mean it quite likethat.” said Ann evenly.Lissa studied her shrewdly."You meant that since youare not in love with him. anyway—** she began, but Ann stiffened and straightened.*Td rather not discuss it. if youdon’t mind." she said stiffly andadded deliberately, "Have you readany good books lately?"Lissa tipped back her chair andlaughed richly as at some delecta
ble joke."You are transparent, aren’t
you?” she said flatly. "You're not
one shred in love with Lyn Frazier
—but you’re completely mad aboutTracy—”"How dare you?” protested Ann."Then why in Heaven’s namedon’t you marry the man?" demanded Lissa sharply. "Tracy'scompletely off his head about you—and if you are in love withhim—"
"I suppose you wouldn’t have
any idea why Tracy hasn’t asked
me to marry him?" asked Ann.Lissa looked at her shrewdly."Unless because you’re engaged toDr. Frazier—Tracy's pretty mucha nut about loyalty and stull," shereturned carelessly.Ann said deliberately, "Tracyfeels under such obligations to you,that he will not even consider—
marrying someone else—just—on
the off-chance that some day you
may—need him—*'Studying Lissa, Ann said dryly."I suppose you had not the faintestidea that Tracy felt so obligated toyou?”Lissa’s eyes widened a little andshe started to look surprised andhurt, and then she relaxed, grinned
and said with a little shrug, "Oh. I
knew something about it, but I didnot dream he'd go to such lengths.I mean, I’ve turned to him for helpwhen the going got a bit tough; hesent for me to come down here assoon as he- got the job on theCourier, because I was out- of a
job and bored stiff and at a loose
end. But—'goodness, there’s no
reason for him to stay single onmy account. After all, I could yelpto him for help even if he wasmarried—”"Not if he v.ate married to me,you couldn't," said Ann impulsively, and a lil'.lo startled because
she hadn’t meant to say it Butthe picture cf Tracy aq her hus
band, receiving “yells for help"from the lovely but reckless andcareless Lissa, and responding tothem, was a little too much.Lissa smiled, pleased at thethought that Ann was jealous ofher. "But mv dearl” she urotested
much too unimportant to oe lancedabout—’’"You dance beautifully and—Lyn loves dancing," said Juliequietly.Lissa stood very still for a moment and an odd little expressionflickered over her face and wasgone, before she said smoothly,
politely, “Lyn? You mean Dr.Frazier? Yes, he does dance well
—I’ve met him several times at the
Driving Club.""And at less public places," saidJulia so quietly, so gently that fora moment Lissa seemed not tograsp the full implications of thatWhen she did. she lifted berlovely head and her eyes werefrosty, her tone hostile as she saidquietly, "That sounds very muchlike an unpleasant crack, Mrs.Barton. Tm afraid I shall have to
ask you to explain it”"I’d be glad to.” said Julie andher voice had risen a little; notmuch; no more than the voices ofthe women gabbing and laughingaround them; but there was afaint thread of hysteria in Julie’svoice and Ann felt a mounting apprehension. "Thursday night atthe Chicken Pen; the Wednesday
afternoon before that a drive into
the country; Tuesday night at thePig and Whistle; Monday night at
Haven Tourist Court—”Lissa drawled, her voice infuriatingly cool and amused, barelyflickered with contempt, “Really.Mrs. Barton. Your—er—privatedetective is doing all right! I hopeyou’re paying him properlyl The
man’s uncanny!”
Julie's voice went up another
note and she was trembling violently, and as she swayed a little,Ann put out a swift hand to steadyher and caught the scent of liquoron Julie's breath."You can't have him!" she wassobbing, clawing at Lissa, reaching
for her, sobbing wildly. "You can't
have him — do you hear? He’smine—”Ann did the only thing she couldthink of in that moment when sherealized that the well-bred womenabout them were staring, whispering—she slapped Julie hard, full
across the face, and Julie's head
rocked, and then she was still, and
a tiny drop of blood spurted fromher lower lip Into which she hadsunk her small, sharp, white teeth."Thanks, Ann." she said huskily,and became shamedly conscious ofthe group about her, and loweredher head until the brim of thecartwheel hid her face. “Sorry—I
—I’m not feeling so well—”
She tried to make her waythrough the throng that opened tolet her pass, but she stumbled andswayed and Ann went to her. andput an arm about her. steadyingher to the elevator. Outside in theblazing-hot street Ann summoned

terrible thing to, do—terrible—but
beautiful.“And a very nice job you madeof it, too." said Tracy and his eyestook her in from the turquoiseflower in her hair to the tips ofber silly little strapped sandalslippers that peeped like two silvermice from beneath the long skirt."You're—you're so beautiful, darling—it's all I can do to keep myhands off you—Ann. dearest—""And now that we are all settled

artlessly pleased that Ann stiff
ened a little and looked at herwith suspicion, "I have to ask youa few questions, Mr. Driscoll, andI do hope you won't mind answering them frankly—and truthfully,
of course.”Tracy grinned a little. He liked
the old girl. She was quite a char
acter. he told himself. Strong,
forceful, dominant—she had humor. too, and a great kindlinessthat spoke of a warm and generous heart. She would be a swellfriend—but she could be a bitterand implacable enemy, he knew,as well."I don't promise to answer atall, Mrs. Clayton." he told herfrankly, "but if I do answer, it will
be frankly and truthfully!”"Good!” said Sarah happily."First of all. then—are you in lovewith Ann, Mr. Driscoll?”Ann was for a moment rigid withshock and embarrassment, thecolor burning hot in her face, andthen she cried out, angry and in
credulous at Sarah’s outrageousfrankness. "Sarah!"Sarah flung her a quietingglance and then looked straight atTracy."Wen, Mr. DrlscoU?" she asked
briskly.
Tracy's hands were locked tightly and his face was white and set.He flung Ann a glance that all buttook her into his arms and kissedher. ,"She knows that 1 am, Mrs.
Clayton," he said quietly, the quiet
of hard-won control, of dearly-*bought composure. "She knowsthat I adore her.”Ann felt warm and breathlesswith happln^«s. and a sudden
shyness that made her eyes fall
before his, and that set her heartpounding.“That's splendid!" said Sarahbriskly, “and since she has admitted to me that she Is madly in lovewith you, it seems to me that thetwo of you should do something
about it, don't you think?”
“Such ns what, for instance?”
suggested Tracy, almost grimly. 1

SHORTS FROM THE TALKSExtracts from talks and commentaries in the BBC’s Overseas shortwave transmissions:The Greek* Had A U»e For It“About 2,000 years ago in a Roman market place on a pillar whichis still in existence, the following advertisement was written; “The Gladiators will fight at noon; there willbe awnings against the sun’. Advertising is a very old craft.'■—(J.R.M.Brumwell, talking in the BBC over
seas Service on “Art and Advertis
ing”.)
The English Weather
“I suppose that the English clim
ate is the real reason why visitors to
these islands find it so hard to under
stand our agriculture. If they come
in the middle of a dry period they
ask why on earth we do not grow
more alfalfa, since alfalfa will with
stand any drought While if their
visit coincides with a month of rain
they conclude that we are mad to
attempt to grow cereals at all It is
the same with our houses and our
way of life. The fine weather visitor
asks: ‘Why not open air cafes; why
no sun terraces; wh no iced drinks?”
While the wet weather holiday maker
wants to know: "Why no central
heating; why no covered tennis
courts; why even make an open
car?”—(Ralph Wightman in “Dor
set Farmer", a talk to BBC overseas
listeners.)
Sweat and Toil
"Doing it the Hard Way—that’s
a cliche by now. It’s used by the
professionally muscular thinkers,
politicos, actors. 'No’, they say, ‘I
didn’t get in through knowing a man
who knew a man. I did it the Hard
Way.' So it’s a cliche, and I’m going
to use it because I haven’t got any
thing against, cliches—I believe in
the Somerset Maughan theory—the
cliche may be the best way of say
ing what you want to say, which is
why it’s become a cliche.”—(Robert
Westerby, in the BBC overseas ser
ies “As I See It.”)• • •
Public v Secret Diplomacy

public controversy between leading

WEEKLY WIND-UP
PEACE CONFERENCE AND
DESIGNATIONS
With widespread interest through
out Canada i’B Mhq^role played by
Canada in the- 'Jiris Peace Confer
ence, it is significant to report at
this time that, in reply to a series
of questions, e Canada’s Acting
Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Louis St
Laurent, has said in Parliament:
“The expressions ‘big power’,
‘middle power’ and ‘small nation'
are not designations recognized in
international law. Article 2, para
graph I, of the charter of the United
Nations"sets forth that ‘the oigan-
ization is based on the principle of
the soverign equality of all its mem
bers'. Article 23, paragraph I, of
the charter states that ‘the Republic
of China, France, the Union of Sov
iet Socialist Republics, the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Nor
thern Ireland, and the United States
of America, shall be permanent mem
bers of the ‘Security Council’. In
Article 27, paragraph 3, it is pro
vided that decisions of the Security
Council in other than procedural
matters shall be made by an affirm
ative vote of seven members, includ
ing the concurring votes of the per
mant members’. Apart from the nam
ing of certain states as permanent
members of the Security Council, a
distinction also made in the coven
ant of the League of Nations, and
the requirement thjjt for certain
purposes under the charter of the
concurring votes of the named
states are necessary, there is no le
gal distinction between the position
of all the members of the United
Nations.”
This explanation was given in
order to answer a series of questions
about Canada at this Paris Peace
Conference, including Canada’s
status on the international scene.
STILL RISING
With retail prices in United Sates
and elsewhere jumping considerably
lately, it is indicated in Ottawa that
further increases in the cost of liv-1

serious concern amongst those re
sponsible for keeping such costs
down. “It should be pointed out that
the full increases authorized in
clothing and furniture prices at cer
tain stages of production have not
yet been entirely reflected at the
retail price level,” said in part Don
ald Gordon, Chairman, Wartime
Prices and Trade Board, this state
ment in Ottawa accompanying a re
port that the cost of living in Can
ada had jumped up a total of five
points in the last four months or 24.1
per cent since August, 1939, with
the latest increases being in foods,
clothins’, home furnishings and ser
vices.

It has been disclosed in the
House of Commons, in answer to a

DOMINION-PROVINCIAL
RELATIONS
It is indicated in Ottawa that,
during the absence of the Prime
Minister and the Minister of Fin
ance, the Minister of Justice and
Acting Finance Minister will be able
to deal with the provinces regarding
agreements on Dominion-Provincial

Ottawa shows that Manitoba and the

Members of the General Council
of the Health League of Canada at
a recept meeting in Toronto gave
impetus to the League’s milk pas
teurization campaign by passing a
resolution calling on governments of
all provinces to enact compulsory
pasteurization laws. Ontario is the
only province at present with such
legislation.
The League Council includes rep
resentatives of 51 national organlza-
, tions—medical, professional, com
mercial and volunteer.
After hearing Dr. F. F. Tisdall
of the University of Toronto state
that milk is the world’s finest food
but at the same time it could be a
destructive agent if it was used in
its raw or unpasteurized form, the
meeting also asked that all national
organizations pass similar resolutions
and forward them to their provincial
premiers through their provincial
and local units.
‘ Both Dr. Tisdall and Dr. A. E.
Berry, Director of Sanitary Engin
eering, Ontario Department of
Health, emphasized that a sure way
to prevent milk-borne diseases, such
as bovine, tuberculosis, undulant
fever, typhoid and paratyphoid,
among others, was to pasteurize.
Dr. Tisdall said research at the
Toronto Hospital for Sick Children
proved that pasteurization does not
damage milk’s nutritive value. For
instance, it was found that the pro
cess made milk’s protein content
more digestible, the minerals were
not harmed, vitamin A remained
unchanged, while any change in thia
min content was not noticeable. As
for vitamin C, it didn’t matter what
pasteurization did to it because milk,
particularly if it was left standing
for some time, did not contain an
amount to be of value.
Dr. Berry said that since Ontario
introduced compulsory pasteuriza
tion in 1938 the province's typhoid
case and death rates now are one-
quarter what they were before the
law went into effect. Infant mortal
ity also had taken a drop.
The meeting went on record- as
congratulating Vancouver, B.C.,
Humboldt, Sask., and Campbellton,
N.B., on the recent passing of com
pulsory pasteurization by-laws in
those municipalities.

WORLD’S BIGGEST SHIP
READY TO PUT TO SEA
1 There is almost a tragi-comedy in
■ world affairs when one hears that the
" biggest and most luxurious ship in
the world, in the first six years of its
existence, did not follow its career.1 When the "Queen Elizabeth” was
’ built by the Cunard White Star Line,
this 85,000 tonner was not only the
■ world's biggest ship, but more lux
uriously fitted out than any other
of her kind. Up till now, the “Queen
Elizabeth" has however, only seen
war sendee and has done invaluable
work as a transport. The giant is
now being prepared for the purpose
for which she was originally built.
The “Queen Elizabeth” is now dock
ed at Southampton, England, and
1.100 workers are busy getting
the world’s biggest and finest ship
ready to put to sea in September.
Like the “Queen Mary”, the “Queen
Elizabeth” will be put into service
on the North Atlantic route.
CANNING HINTS
The fresher the fruit the better
the canned product and the less the
chance of failure.
Be sure to get the right size of
rubber rings for the jars.
Be sure all sealers are in perfect
condition—no cracks or chips.
Keeping qualities of canned fruits
do not depend on the addition of
sugar, but rather on proper process
ing and use of airtight containers.
Chemicals or canning compounds
should not be used. These possibly
may be harmful.
Never tighten the top after a
sealer is cold. This breaks the seal
and Is the cause of much spoilage.
“Was the plaintiff,” asked the
lawyer, cross-examining, “in the
habit of talking to himself when
alone?”
“I don’t know”, replied the wit
ness.
“Come, come. You don't know, and
yet you pretend that you were in
timately acquainted with him?”
“The fact is,” said the witness
dryly, "I never happened to be with
him when ho was alone.”

The genius of a certain Arkansas
editor showed itself recently,when
he printed the following news item
in the local columns of his paper:
“Mias Beulah Blank, a Batesville
belle of twenty summers, is visiting
her twin brother, age thirty-two.”
A teacher offered a prize to the
hoy who could tell him who was the
greatest man in history.
"Christopher Columbus,” answered
the Italian bdy.
"George Washington,” answered
the American lad.
"St. Patrick,” shouted the Jewishboy.
“The prize is yours,” Mid the
teacher, "but why did you aay St.
Patrick?”
“Right down in my heart I knew
it was Moses,” said the Jewish, boy
"but business is business.”
“Does your teacher like you,
Tommy?”
"I should say so. She puts a big
kiss on every sum I do.”
Mrs. Howes—"Mrs. Jones always
asks the price of anything new that
I happen to be wearing."
Mrs. Brown—“What has she been
trying to find out now?
Mrs. Howes—“She wanted to
know how much I paid for thisdress.”
Mrs. Brown—“What an inquisitive
creature. How much did you tell
her?”
