Special speaker for the evening was Dr. S. F. Maine, director of the extension department, University of Western Ontario. Dr. Maine told of his re­ cent trip to the British Isles and urged upon his audience the necess­ ity for unity in Canada as well •»« within the Empire.

Hyde ex­ pressed thanks for his interesting address. Both are former pupils of Dr. Maine. A programme presented by the "Surprise" quartette of London, also the Kiwanis Club quartette, as well as a sing-song led by F. Heath Stone, with W. L.

HELD CHRISTMAS MEETING The singing of Christmas Carols opened the meeting of the Women’s Association of t Trinity United Church, held on Tuesday afternoon in the church parlours. Following this the Lord's Prayer was repeated in unison and the Bible lesson, the Christmas Story, was read by Mrs. Norman Barnes. Mrs. Thomas Jack­ son gave a lovely vocal solo, "Sing For Christmas Morn”, with Mrs. J. F. Fulton as accompanist An interes­ ting and thought-provoking article, “How Would Christ Regard the Way We Keep Christmas?” was read by Miss Florence Dodge. The president, Mrs. J. G. Murray, conducted the business meeting when the regular reports were presented. She stressed the 'need of buying Christmas Seals to make the service available. The meeting closed with a hymn and benediction. The first meeting of the I.C.I..De­ bating Club was held on Monday, Dec. 2nd. The meeting was presided over by the Vice-President, Tom Douglas. The subject was “Resolved that civilized man is happier than the barbarian.” The debate was jud­ ged by Miss Sutherland, Dolores Des­ mond and Mr. Rhodes. The affirmative speakers were Ronald Massey and Allan Chamber- lain, while the negative was upheld by Douglas Lockhart and John John­ ston. The judges’ decision was given in favour of the affirmative. In giving the decision, Dolores Desmond offer­ ed the debaters some very helpful criticism. After the class vote, which was in favour of the affirmative and an expression of thanks to the jud-1 ges, the meeting adjourned. The Tribune is in receipt of a veryinteresting letter from Rev. DavidAlexander of 'Mount Elgin, who re­cently went to Hudson to take tem­porary charge of the CommunityChurch in that new town. Mr. Alex­ander finds life in the northwesternsection of Ontario full of opportun­ ity. During his first four weeks there he made 42 visits, had organ­ ized a choir, and quartette as well as a young people’s Bible Class. A new feature is a “Singspiration”, for fifteen minutes before the even­ ing service begins at 7.30. The populace of the town is mixed, comprising Indians, war brides, a Polish Count, miners, lumbermen, trappers, Hudson’s Bay Company Traders and business people from many European countries as well as the British Isles. From all, Mr. Alex­ ander has received a warm welcome. Mr. Alexander adds: "I’ve joined the Curling Club and strange to say, a Scot has to come to this part of the world, to learn one of his national games.” Hudson, which is 240 miles east of Winnipeg, is in a section of the Province that is rich in potential wealth, mostly undeveloped as yet A road into the Red Lake mining district is under construction, but will be impassable until the freeze- up sets in. It will not be completed for a year or so, as there are long stretches of muskeg to be filled in. Wages are good in the north coun­ try, according to Mr. Alexander. A contractor supplying coal mine props to the British Government, offers $4.50 a cord for cutting and $6.00 for peeling the bark from logs, which enables a man to make an average of $10.50 per day. “Some do much better.” Lodging is scarce, but meals at either the Chinese Cafe or "Rest- Your-Aunt”, are reasonably priced. As is natural in a Scotsman, Mr. Alexander thrills to the beauty of the surrounding country of which he writes: "The lake front is excel­ lent. A noble looking water, dotted with islands. You can sail, over 120 miles on this lake. From what I can judge, it must be an alluring and enchanting spot in summer." He adds: “Ontario is bigger than I thought.” Even in a lumbering country, fuelwood is expensive, selling at/si2.00 per cord, so oil is used a groat deal for both cooking and heating! There is a good hydro plant in the town, but lacking a waterworks system, water is drawn from the lake and sells at 50c per barrel. Bread and milk are shipped in from Winnipeg, as there are very few cows, "and”, concludes The Sky Pilot of Hudson, as his thoughts probably turn to Oxford County, “I have not seen one solitary farm.” Mossley—The home of Mr. andMrs. Geo. Brady was the rcene of ahappy gathering on Monday, Nov.25th, when Mr. and Mrs, Bradywere at home to their friends on theoccasion of their 25th wedding anni­versary. Upwards of one hundredguests called to offer their congratu­ lations. The house was tastefully dec­ orated with white bells and stream­ ers and many lovely bouquets. The attractive tea table was covered with a linen doth and centered by a bowl of red roses and lighted by candles in silver holders. In the afternoon tea was poured by Mrs. Brady’s aunt, Mrs, E. F. Edmunds of Inger­ soll and Mr. Brady’s mother, Mr A. Brady of Dorchester; and evening by Mrs. Brady’s si Jas. Hutcheson of Banne niece, Mrs. Victor West don.

Stone, Vice-Chairman, Western Ontario Division. Choosing the subject, "Accident Prevention, Why?” Mr. Bennett stated that accidents were costly to industry and a vital factor in pro­ duction costs. During the first six months of this year 64,214 industrial accidents in Ontario were reported to the Workmen’s Compensation Board; an average of 10,700 per month, ranging from medical aid to permanent injury and As an impressive example.

PEARSON CELEBRATE THEIR 25th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY cases, death, the speaker contrasted the 1 IS,000 industrial accidents in Ontario dur­ ing 1945, with the total casualties of 103,409 suffered by all the armed forces of Canada during six years of war. He pointed out, however, that in warfare, permanent injuries and fatalities were vastly higher than in industry, through which 2400 lost their lives from 1939-45. The speaker also stated that nearly eight million dollars was paid out by the Compensation Board from January to July of 1946, for pen­ sions, compensations, etc. The in­ direct cost of such accidents repre­ sented by loss of production, etc., was four times the direct cost. Out­ weighing in importance the financial loss suffered through accidents, is the cost of human lives, physical pain and mental anguish, disruption of home life. To avoid these is the chief aim of management in seeking safety devices. Mr. Bennett praised the work ac­ complished by Safety Committees, one of which should be irj, every Plant, with a system of merit awards and recognition of. individual safety records, encouraging each worker to be a salesman for safety. He closed his remarks with: “it is better to prepare, preserve and prevent, than later to repair, regret and repent" Thomas Morrison thanked the speaker, and Mayor C. W. Riley wel­ comed the members of the Associa­ tion to Ingersoll, wishing them suc­ cess in their endeavours.

MY WEEK"— by —R. J. Deachman • Thursday, December 5th, 1946 Salacious Literature The Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations has taken a stand against the sale of salacious literature on newstands. Salacious liter­ ature is a vicious influence in human life, and a moat difficult one with which to cope, for it thrives because it satisfies the taste of certain people. If they did not like it, it would not be in demand, and would soon disappear. Few writers wish to spend their time on unsaleable work. One wonders sometimes who buys this salacious literature. Who is it that likes to read about the seamy side of life. Do they try to satisfy low desires by taking their mind into dark corners? One of the best-read people we ever met, was a woman, who, as a child, had been advised by her mother, never to be satisfied with anything but the best in reading matter. . She said that from then on, she would have been ashamed to be seen read­ ing anything inferior. She had a standard to main­ tain and she did it. Literature is food for the mind, not just some­ thing to cram at school, and then be done with. It is something we need as long as our mental faculties function. Our taste in it, as in everything else, reflects what we are.- The home and school influences begin the development of our taste, so it is fitting that the Home and School Associations should undertake to deal with salacious literature. Even those homes not connected with the organ­ ization, can carry on their own campaign and ac­ complish a great deal. Polish Veterans Are Fitting In Already the Polish veterans, recently placed on Oxford County farms, are adapting themselves to their new surroundings. They show great ability in learning our language and farm methods. This is not surprising when it is remembered that Po­ land was the home of a very high type of culture, to be found in citizens of all walks of life. A sane attitude towards culture, society and labour indi­ cated an intelligence of a fine quality. If ever people had reason to indulge in self-pity and despondency it would be the Poles with their country used as a pawn by politicians for years, ,but for their stout hearts and fine intellects, they might easily have become a degenerate race. However, it is not so. With their eyes to the West, they have come to Canada, and are becom- king a part of the life of the country—where they will find ample opportunity to exercise their best qualities. With memories of hunger and privation still fresh in their minds, how they will revere the good soil of Canada! How they must marvel at the comfortable lives being led by people after six years of war! How eager they must be for Spring to arrive, so that they may cultivate the good earth which many Canadians bred on it woud de­ sert In preference for work in a service station or factory.

Miss Martha Healy of Hamilton, was home for a few days this week. *Mr. A. C. Foy has disposed of his stock of furn- ture, etc., to Mr. H. F. Tremer of London. Miss Irene Partlo spent the week-end with Miss Florence Bowes at Alma College, St. Thomas. Dr. J. B. Coleridge addressed a large gathering of the Conservatives of Woodstock, last Friday night at the club room. Last Thursday evening, the annual meeting of the Gwalior Mission Circle was held in the St. Paul’s Church. The following officers were elect­ ed: President, Mrs. J. S. Kerr; 1st Vice-President, Mrs. H. Golding; 2nd Vice-President, Wm. Pater­ son; 3rd Vice-President, R. J. Robertson; Secre­ tary-Treasurer, Miss Margaret Dunn; Mission Box Committee, Mrs. J. P. Dunn, (convener); Miss Bathia Ross; Miss M. Buchanan, Miss K. (McCallum and D. G. Cuthbertson. At the regular meeting of King Hiram Lodge, No. 37, A.F. & A.-M., held Friday evening, the following members were elected for the ensuing year: W.M., Roger Miller; Senior Warden, A. S. Crawford; Junior Warden, Rev. A. Bright; Treas­ urer, Wor. Bro. Dr. J. A. Neff; Secretary, R. T. Agar; Tyler, Wor. Bro. R. N. Thurtell; Auditors, Bros. W. J. Elliott and W.

Let It Be A Full Vote Municipal elections are arousing great interest this year. There seems to be a growing, general realization of the fact that successful municipal government is the foundation of a well-governed country; that it is the duty of John Citizen to put his own house in order, if the national structure is to stand. As a result, for the most part, a high type of candidate is offering for public service. The old saw about there being “no choice in rot­ ten apples”, cannot be applied now—not in Inger­ soll at any rate. Unfortunately, owing to a revision of the vot­ ers’ list, a number of citizens capable of voting intelligently, will be unable to vote. Those possess­ ing the privilege are fortunate. There is something highly satisfying to ones self-respect in marking a ballot—that little piece of paper, on which we place the significant X. A voter is an heir of all the ages. His ballot has come to him through a struggle, as old as ma* himself. Men have shed their blood and given their lives for it. It is his alone—No one can vote in his place. Failure to use it means that he has can­ celled his citizenship, which cannot be a comfort­ able experience. No one will wish to miss the opportunity to perform what is a right and a privilege on Decem­ ber 9th. The regular meeting of the QM.B.A. was held on Monday evening and after the usual order of business, the election of officers took place and resulted as follows: Spiritual Advisor, Rev. Father Gnam; President, Bro. M. J. McDermott; 1st Vice- President, Bro. John Moore; 2nd Vice-President, Bro. M. J. -Morrison; Recording Secretary, Bro. C. B. Ryan; Assistant, Bro. A. Halter; Financial Secretary, W. Henderson; Treasurer,.Bro. Wm. Ryan; Marshal, Bro. J. Laflamme; Guard, Bro. John Frezelle; Trustees, 1st year, W. Ryan, P. Sherry and John Frezelle; 2nd year, A. Halter and J. Laflamme. 11 YEARS AGO Thursday, December 5th, 1935 PERSONALS Mrs. Wm. Young of Toronto, was visiting friends in Ingersoll last week. Miss Anna McCowell of Hamilton is visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. McCowell, John street. Mr and Mrs. Wesley Henry and family of Flint, Mich., were visitors last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tallant Victoria street. Mr. and Mrs, H. P. Stoneman and family of Hamburg, New York, spent a few days last week in Ingersoll, guests of Mrs. Stoneman’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Sudworth. Rev, John Maurice, son of Mrs. Maurice and the late Thomas Maurice, Bell streeC~''w^s ordained last Saturday in Toronto and sang his\irst mass last Sunday morning at Sacred Heart Church, Ingersoll. A considerable number enjoyed the cribbage tournament held in the Fire Hall last Friday night. The prize winners were: First, George Burns; second, R. O. Greenaway; third, B. Bylow. The consolation prize went to Charles Guilford. Winter Need Not Be a Season of Discontent The gloomista have had to be silent about the weather lately. Those who appear to enjoy quoting, “The melancholy days are here; the saddest of the year”, have had little opportunity this year. November, like October, was unusually mild, while in many gardens summer flowers bloomed during most of the month. Although statistics are lacking on that point, there must have been more than the average number of hours of sunshine for November. . People with outside work to do were able to attend to it comfortably. Rain has filled the swamps in readiness for winter. Bountiful crops have been harvested. Fuel supplies are said to be sufficient if used with care. In this most blest of lands we can face the winter months with a deep sense of thankfulness; and not the least reason for that thankfulness should bethe ability to work. The death occurred last Wednesday evening of a well known and esteemed Ingersoll resident in the person of Mr. John A. Henderson, who passed away at the family residence, Wonham street, fol­ lowing a long period of ill health. The voters of Ingersoll went to the polls on Monday and elected John L. Paterson as Mayor for 1936, by a slim majority over J. Verne Bu­ chanan and Charles W. Riley, his two opponents. The results were: Patterdson, 879; Buchanan, 853;Riley, 418. A very pretty wedding was solemnized last Tuesday morning in St. Clement’s Catholic Church, Preston, when Rev. Father Hartleib united in mar­ riage Mabel Marie Bleiler, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bleiler, Preston, and Patrick Hanlon, younger son Mi -Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hanlon, Ingersoll. Building Costa Up 60% In Canada Building costs in Canada rose between 47 and 62% between 1939 and-1945 and a further unstat- The Sacred Heart Church was the scene of a pretty fall wedding on Thursday morning, Nov. 28th at 8 o’clock, when Virginia Margaret Lea- thorn, youngest daughter of Mrs. C. Leathorn and the late John Leathorn, was united in marriage to Hubert William Fitzmorris. second son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Fitzmorris. also of Ingersoll. Rev. Father MacMahon celebrated the nuptial mass with Joseph Halter, cousin of the bride serving. Some time ago, H. E. Rice of theHuntsville Forester, one of themany bright country editors of theProvince of Ontario, put out a storyin which he suggested that we shouldhave the same policy at home asabroad, that is all parties shouldunite on a common purpose, while the dear old party system walked out of the window. To this I replied that criticism was worth retaining, we should develop it rather than repress it and that elimination of criticism might be the death of good government. Now Mr. Rice comes back with these words: “We are not persuaded that the values of criticism, as we know it in the House of Commons, are such as to justify the many weak­ nesses of our party system. We place a party in power because it has a majority of followers in the House pledged to support its platform. Any member adhering to such a party, who dares to criticise the leadership, or breaks from the policies laid down by caucus vote, is ostracised, and usually read out of the party par­ liamentary group. In other words, for him, criticism is fatal.” I want to get this matter clear. So long as Brother Rice and I continue to fight there will be nothing done about it, so in a spirit of conciliation I offered to go 50-50 with Mr. Rice. My contention is that if all parties Were abolished how could they be prevented from being bom again. Men, with common views would group together in order to carry out their purpose so that all Mr. Rice s effort would be lost. Now here’s where the 50-50 comes in. The two old parties are coming to­ gether. The differences between Liberal and Conservative are no longer clearly marked. If a man from Mars came along and studied the situation for a few years he would have difficulty in distinguish­ ing which was which, in time the dividing line is likely to disappear. Under these conditions much time is wasted. The House spends lime going back over post history, living on the ancient grudge which once existed and never dies. Join the two old parties in wedded bliss and let Mr. Coldwell take the others—he will have his hands full which will be good for him. Mr. Rice will then have what he wants, less talk and more action—and this is important— I shall have the pleasure of writing about it, telling the funny things which are certain to happen. If I am right in this contentionunion is inevitable. The narrower thedividing line becomes the easier itwill be to cross. It may take time tobring it about but it will come. Therewill be substantial gains in such amove not the least of which will bea better House of Commons.Mr. Rice and I are upon openground, we are trying to find abetter way of doing things. It is asubject which ought to be discussedespecially by weekly papers. Thenation wants a more efficient House of Commons. It. wants one that does more work in less time, one in which the casual visitor can decide, at a glance, the side to which he belongs. It’s so hard to decide to which party a man belongs when he can’t see with the naked eye the difference between the two. P.S.—What are we going to do about the Senate—the Senators will be angry if we forget about them. ICE CREAM MAKING IS LARGE INDUSTRY Ice cream has developed from a home-made confectioner’s product to one manufactured on a whole­ sale scale in dairy plants. As in other branches of the dairy industry, pasteurization is one of the most important operations in the manu­ facture of ice cream and is now compulsory. Pasteurization protects the consumer by destroying any dis­ ease-carrying bacteria that may have found their, way into the raw mater­ ials. It improves the keeping quality of the mix and ice cream by destroy­ ing the greater percentage of the total bacteria. Pasteurization also puts the mix in the best physical condition for homogenization by which all ingredients are finely div­ ided and thoroughly distributed. The temperature for pasteurizing the ice cream mix should not be less than 145 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. It is necessary also to obtain a thorough heating of every part of the mix for the full 30 min­ utes at that temperature, because pasteurization may be ineffective in destroying possible disease-bearing contamination. The ice cream mix contains such a high percentage of total solids that it is more difficult to effect thorough pasteurization than with milk. Some manufacturers consider it better to use a temper­ ature of 150 degrees F. for 30 min­ utes to ensure a margin of safety. These and many other facts con­ cerning the proved practices and important factors in the production of good quality ice cream by the industry will be found in Pubication No. 690 “The Manufacture of Ice Cream”, by A. H. White, Associate in Dairy Research, Division of Bac­ teriology and Dairy Research, Sci­ ence Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture. A copy of the bulle- ■ Ingenoll Branch • J.

PRESTON T. WALKER FURNITURE Hello Homemaker! A comment made by a friend from the Old Country about our scones will long be remembered. She said: “Thu is just as good as cake. In fact, I would never miss cake if I hud breads like this.” It is evident that even English people are changing their tastes since these quick breads were made with less sugar and no butter compared to old-time recipes. Tea biscuits, muffins, scones, cof­ fee cakes and quick loaf breads use a small amount of sugar and short­ ening. Of course, some butter will disappear when freshly baked bis­ cuits and scones are served, but us these take the place of both bread and cake, there should be a notice­ able saving.. We should sava now for the festive goodies. FRUIT SCONES 2 cups sifted allpurpose flour 4 level tsps, baking powder 1-2 tsp. salt 2 tbsps. sugar 4 tbsps lard 1- 2 cup currants or raisins 1 egg (beaten) 2- 3 cup milk Preheat oven to 450 degs F. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and sift together. Cut in lard with pastry blender or use two knives with acissor-like motion, until the mixture is the consistency of fine meal. Add fruit. Beat egg, and add to milk, reserving a little of the egg about (1 tsp.) in bottom of bowl for glazing top of scones. Pour combined egg and milk mixture into dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until a soft dough is formed. Divide dough in two equal portions and roll on floured bake board until one-half inch thick and six inches in diameter. Place each portion on greased cookie sheet and score in quarters with sharp knife. Brush with glaze made by combining the reserved 1 tsp. of egg and tsp of milk. Bake in electric oven 450 degs. for 15 mins. Note: A little chopped mixed peel may be substituted for some of the currants or raisins in the above recipe. DUTCH APPLE CAKE Topping 3-4 cup thinly sliced apples 3 tbsps. brown sugar 1-2 tsp. cinnamon 1-8 tap. nutmeg 1 tbsps melted shortening or batter. « Dough ll* cups sifted all-purpose flour 2H taps, baking powder 1-2 tsp. salt 3 tbsps. granulated sugar i 3 tbsps. lard 1 egg, well-beaten 1-3 cup milk Preheat oven to 425 degs. Grease thoroughly a deep eigh-inch layer cake tin. Topping • Prepare and measure ingredients for topping. Pare, core and slice apples, (one large or 2 small apples should be sufficient). Melt shorten­ ing or butter and reserve one tea­ spoon. (Butter gives better flavour for this.) Mix sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with remaining shortening. Dough Make dough u follows: Sift flour, baking powder and salt to­ gether. Add sugar Cut in shortening with pastry blender or two knives scissor-fashion until mixture re­ sembles fine crumbs. Combine beaten egg and milk and pour into dry in­ gredients, blending in gently with fork until soft’ dough is formed. Gently pat dough in a greased pan. Brush top with the reserved tea­ spoon of melted butter. Arrange slices of apple in rows on top. Sprinkle sugar and spice mixture over top, spreading evenly. Place in electric oven (425 degs.) and bake 10 mins. Reduce temperature to 375 degs. and continue to bake for 20 to 30 mins, longer or until apples are tender and top is lightly- browned. To serve cut in pie-shape pieces. Use as hot sweetbread or as dessert’ with a fruit or custard sauce. Yield: 6 to 8 servings. FOLDEN’S CORNERS The W.

Ingersoll's ProgressShown in Report GivenTo Town CouncilAt Monday night’s regular sessionof the municipal council, presidedover by Mayor Riley and attendedby all members, Councillor Thos.Morrison gave some pleasing inform­ation regarding the progress of thetown. The assessment roll for 1947stands at $3,784,128, with total ex­emptions such as church properties of $620,950, leaving a total of tax­ able property of $3,163,178. This is an increase of $41,200, over 1946, as well as an added $5000 exemption this year. The report shows that there are 29 houses under construction and the assessment on most of these will be added to the 1947 roll. Four mer- chantile buildings and one or two apartment conversions as well as four houses occupied, but unfinished, are listed as under construction. The population is 6,043, an in­ crease of 91 during the year. There are 58% home owners and during 1946, 39 new houses have been built in addition to the number mentioned above. Altogether the report showed a steady advancement with a pro­ gressive spirit by the citizens in gen­ eral that was very pleasing to the council members. Communications from the Donald Construction Co., advised that work would commence on Nov. 25th on soil tests for the sewerage system. A letter from Armstrong, Anderson H. J. MAIN who has been appointed assistant to the vice-president of the Can­ adian Pacific Railway, after four years as general superintendent of transportation and 44 years with the C, P. R. and Co., acknowledging their ap­ pointment and stating that wo^ was progressing in the making of plans. Geo. Hi Mason asked the council for a quit claim deed on property which the town had used with cer­ tain rights to gravel. This was grant­ ed by bylaw releasing the gravel rights. Under the head of enquiries Councillor Russell Nunn asked re­ garding an agreement with the Booth Construction Co. for necessary fill around the buildings at Kensington Park. Councillor Murray asked where Councillor Writson had saved $50,000 on the sewerage plans. Mr. Watson said that amount would be the dif­ ference in the cost by the change of *>ite of the disposal plant. I Mayor Riley read a communica­ tion from the engineers which stated that the site had been changed after suggestions were made by members of council and the advisory commit­ tee, but no revision of costs had been submitted. Mayor Riley told of efforts that had been made to have unnecessary whistling of trains stopped within the corporation, but said that not much progress had been made. Jhe whistling is evidently beyond our control and as several trucks had run down to the C. N. R. gates and crashed, the crossing is considered hazardous by trainmen.

It may be that I am fortunate in not having to conform to hard and fast business regulations. I will not have to close my doors to my business nor seek permission as to the hour or the amount of time I wishto devote to the interests of the town. Can Be Generous With Time I am in a position to be generous with my time so far as the interests of the town are concerned. This has been my policy both as Councillor and as Mayor. I have worked gladly and voluntarily with the feeling always that there were no hampering restrictions and with keen determination to assist as fully as possible with any movement giving promise of making Inger­ soll grow and prosper.

Banquet ,and Installation ofOfficers Last Week [st a r t l ing exampl esOF SOIL EROSION Farmers Deserving of More Consideration MR. R. S. WALDIB President Mr. Waldie said in part: The money income of the countryreflects the .high level of economicactivities. It is officially estimated thatCanada’s national income is at presentrunning at about 1945 level. For 1945, the Dominion Bureau of Statisticsestimates national income received at8,954 million dollars, national incomeproduced, at 9,627 million dollars, and gross national expenditure, at 11,359million dollars, the difference havingbeen borrowed from the people’s sav­ings by way of Victory Loans. This means that Canada’s present nationalincome is over twice as large as theaverage pre-war national income. Partof this increase is caused by the rise in prices. Production and employment havebeen adversely affected by labour dis­ putes in various industries includingsteel, rubber, electrical and textileplants and in British Columbia loggingcamps. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics estimates the time lost duringthe first nine months of 1946 at 4.1million man-days. That would amountto a production loss of about forty million dollars but the real losses aregreater since shortages in basic mate­rials, especially in steel, affect a greatnumber of dependent industries and contribute to a general slowing down ofproduction. While post-war strikesmay be partly the result of a pyscho-logical let-down, it appears that neither the Government nor the industries andthe trade unions concerned have shownsufficient foresight and energy in hand­ling the situation. It seems evident that the freezing of wages during thewar was at too low a level and with toogreat a spread in some industries ascompared with others. The National War Labour Board has recently ruledthat there should be no general formulafor the adjustment of wages, but a moreflexible procedure which makes allow­ ance for individual conditions. It is tobe hoped that this procedure may leadto the adjustment of wage levels and toa more balanced distribution of worker's income. The final result will depend onthe understanding collaboration ofmanagement and labour, the develop­ment of which should be the special concern of rhe Government and a moreenlightened public opinion. While Canada’s national income has,in the main, preserved its high war level, its distribution among the majorgroups of recipients has recently sub­stantially changed, to the disadvantageof the farmer and, still more, the in­ comes from investment that wereactually paid out to investors. Thebetter crops of 1946 and rising pricesfor most farm products should con­ tribute towards some improvementduring the current year; this year’swheat crop is estimated at 420 millionbushels, as against a final estimate of 305 million bushels for 1945, But thisimprovement is likely to be offset, inpart, bv the rise in farm wages and inprices for industrial pnxlucts ehtering the farmer’s costs, Since the import­ance of Canada’s agriculture, as thebasis of our whole economy, can hardlybe overrated, I should like to dwell somewhat on this question. In my judgment the income of thefarmer is not commensurate with thelabour of the farmer. According to latest estimates Canada’s agriculturallabour force (which includes the farmerand the farm worke r) is about 26 perscent of the total labour force of the country. But farmers, excluding in thiscase the farm workers, have normallyreceived no more than 10 to 12 percentof Canada’s national income. The share of national income that is paid tothe farm worker increases this per­centage somewhat but the fact remainsthat the total farm labour force making up one-quarter of our national labourforce is rewarded by no more thanone-sixth of the national income. It is possible that the relief the warectomy brought to the farmer may J ........... J prove to Ik- only transitory and that i of the world with goodsthe pre-war shift of the national - —1 -*■— .income to the other economic groupswill continue. This would hardly dojustice to the farmer's contribution tothe national wealth.. It would lead toother undesirable developments, too. The migration from country to citywould continue. During the war yearsalone, the population of Canada’smetropolitan counties has grown by over 10 percent, and the other qrlxinpopulation, by about 5 per cent; whilethe rural population, for the first limein Canada’s history, has decreased by about 5 p<-r cent. .Once the post-warindustrial boom has come to an end,the pool of potential unemploymentwill prove to have greatly increased, while at the same time farm lalxrnr willremain in great demand. The farmer'sincome could be improved, if new markets, especially abroad, could befound. It should be borne in mind that the share of farm products in totalexports declined steadily during theinter-war period, and our economicpolicies should be directed towardsregaining lost outlets and finding newones. On balance, Canada's base metalexports have decreased, in value, toabout one-half of the war level. Since at the same time the export values of ironand its products have fallen to aboutone-third of the war standards, a largedeficit in Canada’s metal exports has appeared which has greatly contributedto reducing our active balance of trade.Production and exports of preciousmetals have failed to make up for theselosses. Silver production has recentlyrevived, as a result of an increase inprice, but total production remainssmall; and silver exports are negligible. 11 should be a general policy to promoteour mining industry, especially in theinterest of our foreign trade balance. . Gold production and exports hadsince 1942 been reduced, owing to thepolicy of shifting labour to moreurgently needed war production, to lessthan one-half of the peak level of1940-41, it is clear that the recovery ofthe industry has not been sufficientlyrapid to soon secure for gold its previousfunction to balance our payments with the United States. The revaluation ofthe Canadian dollar to parity with theUnited States dollar is a serious obstacleto the resumption of this role by the gold mining industry. It has reducedthe profit margin of all companies andeven made operation of a number of companies unprofitable. Concessionson the part of the Government will benecessary to help the gold miningindustry regain its important position. MR. W. G.

Avalon Chapter, No. 220, Order of the Eastern Star, held their annu­ al banquet and installation of officers on Thursday evening, November 28. The banquet, prepared by the Wo­ men’s Association of Trinity United Church, and served in the Sunday School, was of a very high order. Following the sumptuous repast, a toast list was presented with Worthy Patron Roy Guest as toastmaster. An address of welcome was given by Rev. C. D. Daniel, minister of Trin­ ity United Church. The toast to the Grand Chapter was proposed by Sis­ ter A. Nichols, P.D.D.G.M., of Lon­ don, and was responded by Bro. Don­ ald Currie, A.G.P. Splendid musical numbers were rendered on piano and violin by the Misses Jacquelyn and Charlotte Carr. The toast to the guests was pro­ posed by Sister Dorothy B. Carr, W.M., Elect and responded to by Sister Violet Stewart, P.D.D.G.M. of Toronto; while the toast to the retir­ ing officers was proposed by Sister Ethel Malcolm, P.W.G.M., and re­ sponded to by Sister Georgetta Harper, W.M. The final toast of the list was proposed to the incoming officers by Sister Isobel Baxter and responded to Bro. E. A. Webber, W.P. elect.. At the completion of the toast, list, an adjournment was made to journey to the Masonic Banquet Hall, on Thames street, where the ritualistic ceremonies of installation were conducted with visiting and local past officers filling the chairs of the Chapter. The installation of officers for Avalon Chapter was conducted in a very capable manner by Installing Matron Sister Violet Stewart of Toronto, and Installing Patron Bro. J. M. Wilson. Assisting in the east were Sister Ethel Mal- Anyone who has taken the troubleto watch a heavy rain brush or rollthe surface soil down a slope mayhave been reminded of a giantplaning mill shaving the rough sur­ face off a plank. Slowly and surely the surface is removed. In soil erosion measurements by the Field Husbandry Division at the Central Experimental Farm in Ot- atwa, says Dr. P. 0. Ripley, Dominion Field Husbandman, it was somewhat startling to learn in 1945 that in the four months, June to October, 15 inches of rainfall shaved 31.0 tons of soil per acre from the surface of a field of corn planted and cultivated up and down a 10 per cent slope. On June 17, 1946, 45 tons of soil per nerd were washed off the same plot by 3 inches of rain in exactly one hour. On an adjoining plot which was summerfallowed, the runoff at the same time was 72.5 tons of soil. During the 1945 growing season with 15.03 inches of rainfali and 1946 with 19.78 inches of rainfall the total soil runoff on a summerfal­ lowed plot cultivated up and down the slope,’ unmanured, has amounted to 132 tons per acre. On corn cul­ tivated up and down the slope 126 tons were lost. Manuring the soil made it more absorbent and porous and the runoff on a manured sum­ merfallow plot was only 114 tons during the same period while a man­ ured corn plot lost only 100 tons of soil. Planting the corn on the contour reduced the runoff still more to only 34 tons of soil per acre. With a cover crop of alfalfa only one- quarter of a ton of soil was lost. These rather startling figures tell a very simple story, says Dr, Ripley. Tremendous losses of soil can occur if improper method of soil and crop management are used in sloping ground. The loss can be reduced to an almost negligible amount if proper crops and methods are used. Don’t let the rain shave off the sur­ face soil, he advises. It is valuable.

Dr. Bates, General Director of the Health j League of Canada, re affirmed the | League’s determination to achieve universal pasteurization throughout the Dominion. Ontario at present is the only pro­ vince with province-wide legislation in force. “Those individuals who, chiefly by­ letters to newspapers, attack the ad­ visability of pasteurization are either ignorant of the facts or are prompted by other motives,” Dr. Bates said. •‘It should be realized that these per­ sons are setting up their unsupported opinions against the universal find­ ings of the medical profession and associated scientific workers. ‘ “Milk is a wholesome and benefic­ ial food if it is pasteurized. In its raw state it can be a menace to health and life. Those who oppose pasteurization should be prepared to accept some responsibility for the harvest of lives and sickness taken annually in Canada by such milk- borne diseases as bovine tuberculosis, undulant fever, typhoid and paraty-' phoid fever, septic sore throat, diph­ theria, scarlet fever and dysentery.” Dr. Bates said it is necessary to weed out of dairy herds those ani­ mals suffering from tuberculoses. ' Bang’s disease, and other communic­ able diseases. However, this would not alone assure a safe milk supply, because milk frequently was found to have been contaminated by hu­ man handlers. “To be completely safe, milk must -ome from certified animals, it must be cleanly handled, and it must be pasteurized,” he said. "Pasteuriza­ tion should be insisted on as an effective additional safeguard over and above all sanitary precautions.” Mrs. Thomas Hanlon, Victoriastreet, was hostess for a largelyattended meeting of the CatholicWomen’s League on Thursday even­ing, at which the president, Mrs.Herman MacMillan, presided. The treasurer’s, social service and mem­ bership reports were received. It was decided to have a special hospi­ tal reserve account and $150 of the goal of $500 was placed therein. The president asked for volunteers to assist in connection with the hos­ pital vote on December 9thr Twelve ladies offered their services. Mrs. John Williams, sewing con­ vener, gave a very gratifying report, showing that two full layettes con­ sisting of four knitted sets, (bon­ nets, sweaters and booties), two blankets, six gown?, 6 baby Mips, 6 jackets, 4 vests and twenty-four diapers, had been made by the mem­ bers since the autumn work had been resumed. Correspondence rend included a letter from the Diocesan president, Mrs. P. M. Dewan, also letters of thanks from Sheila 'Morrison, Mary Nadolin, Barbara Elliott, Patrick Steele and Richard Flerlniken, all winners of prizes donated by the League at the recent commencement exercises. It was decided to establish a scholarship of $25 to be given to any girl of the Parish, entering a Catholic Training School for nurses. Mrs. Joseph Fems reported 1265 cancelled postage stamps sent to St. Alphonsus Seminary, Woodstock. The usual Christmas remem­ brances were arranged for, as well as $10 to the Sisters of Service, $5 to the “School of Christ” broadcast, $25 to the Sisters of Mount St. Joseph, for a Christmas treat for the Orphanage, instead of the usual shower of canned fruit. Mrs. Kenneth Archer announced that she would be pleased to receive donations of toys, books, etc., for the orphanage. Mrs. A. F. Moyse asked for donations of clothing and bedding for the bale for Western Missions. Mrs. P. M. Dpwan spoke on the recently arrived Polish veterans in the district, for whom Mesaames Michael Murray and John Costin, Rehabilitation and Social Service conveners, will arrange a reception. Miss Marjrie Kearney read a very- interesting paper on “The Song Fom Heaven,” or “The Origin of Sil­ ent Night,” the beautiful Christmas song. Mrs. Herman 'MacMillan tendered her letter of resignation which was read by Mrs. Joseph McDermott, and Mrs. John Shand, as 1st vice- president, was appointed to serve for the remainder of the term. Mrs. McDermott then read an address to Mrs. MacMillan, expressing the re­ gret of all over her intended depart­ ure from the town. To mark the termination of her service as presi­ dent of the Ingersoll sub-division, she was presented by Mrs. Max Fisher with a beautiful oak and gilt Cruci­ fix. As a parting souvenir from the members, Mesdames John Stevenson and Edward Haduck presented her with a Duncan Fyfe coffee table and a gold compact. Mrs. Shand read the address, expressing the regret of all the members at 'Mrs. MacMil­ lan’s departure, and wishing her happiness in her new- home in Aylmer. Mrs. P. M. Dewan, Diocesan Pre­ sident and Mrs. William Kirwin as Past President, both Diocesan and of the Ingersoll sub-division, paid tri-' bute to Mrs. MacMillan’s splendid work. Mrs. MacMillan thanked all in a charming speech for the lovely gifts and kind wishes. Refreshments arranged by Mrs. A. G. Warden, were served by the hos­ tess and a group of assistants, with Mesdames Smye of London, and John Shearon, pouring tea and cof­ fee at a pretty table, done with a lace and cut-work cloth, centered with yellow chrysanthemums, in a silver bowl and cream candles in sil­ ver holders. Thanks to the hostess were expressed by Mrs. Warden. PROGRESS UNDERCOMMUNISM— by —R. J. DeachmanAll is not well in Russia, so Rus­sian writers, writing for Russianreaders do their best to paint withlurid colors, conditions existing inother countries. It is difficult, how­ever, to keep the curtain so opaque that not a gleam ot light slips through and at times we have trans­ lations of articles appearing in Rus­ sia which give some idea of things the informed people of Russia are supposed to believe. One of these appeared in “The New York Times” of November 10. It came from Drew Middleton, the very competent correspondent of that publication and was based on an article by Mr. Bodshedsky, a Rus­ sian writer on economic and scien­ tific questions. It dealt with present problems of American technique. In it appears this statement: “American capitalism is doing all it can to hinder the re-habili- tation of industry in many coun­ tries that were ruined by the war to strengthen its own position in international trade.” That is an amazing statement, it makes no sense to any person o‘f ordinary intelligence in the Anglo- Saxon world. Apparently the writer of it knows nothing of the normal processes of exchange. If the United States attempted to do what this gentleman suggests it would be tak­ ing the most rtfpid means of inhibit­ ing its own progress. Take the case of Canada and the United States, The United States has invested a great deal of money in the Domin­ ion of Canada. It has helped to build up our industries, our trade grows as our industries develop. This is natural and obvious. The increase of our industrial and commercial capacity, the develop­ ment of our industry and agriculture, the increase of our import and ex­ port trade in no way restricts the development of the United States. Canada became, ns a result, a richer and better prospect for the sale of American goods and, at the same time, America became a better mar­ ket for Canadian products. If China, in 30 years, became as rich and pros­ perous as the United States is to-day then the United States and Canada could not fail to become much richer and more prosperous than they arenow. Vancouver and Prince Rupertwould two of the great shippingand industrial centres of the world.Here is another “example” of thetype of statement intelligent Rus­sians are supposed to accept:“Meanwhile American capital­ism at home continues an offensiveagainst the living standards of theworkers and hesitates to renovateits own capital investment at least until the result of the offensive begun by the forces of interna­ tional reaction against the demo­ cratic front in the United States and the world over are clear.” One fact alone should be the com­ plete answer to that unfounded assertion. Prior to the war the Uni­ ted States had the highest wage rates of any country in the world. They have gone up 50% since 1941, 10% since the close of the war with Japan. When the Russian worker has a standard of living which comes within 25% of the Canadian and American level he can be proud of his achievement. But here is the real issue: Is the Russian standard as high as it should be in the circumstances. It is very doubtful. Stalin at one time wanted an American loan of $5,- 000,000,000. If Russia had been will­ ing to play ball, if Russian leaders had shown a spirit of compromise and conciliation the loan would have been arranged, but once the war was over Russia accepted her allies as enemies and fontended that Russia was always Tight and therefore there was no other side to any ques­ tion. Russia now hus before her another five year plan. It involves tremen­ dous capital interest. To complete this program involves extremely low standards of living for the people of Russia during the next five years. They must perforce direct their efforts to the production of capital goods at the expense of their stand­ ard of living. The Russian people are weary, desperately weary, they have been through a terrific strain. Can they stand it for another five years? That is the thing which must worry the boys in the Kremlin. So we shall hear from Russia in the future many sad tales of troubles in the outside world. The men who write them know better. They are written to deceive the people of Russia, brace them to stand their own miseries for at least five more long years.

However, at the same time, it is stressed that under Can­ adian law no one in this country can be compelled to register at its diplom­ atic or consular office, this applying equally to the members of the for­ mer Polish soldiers who recently came to this country or to other for­ eign governments represented here. TRUTH AND TRUTH ONLY When the British Government ask­ ed the Canadian Government for a reported 40,000,000 bushels of wheat in addition to the 1946 amount of 160,000,000 bushels scheduled to be sent there under the four-year agreement, the refusal to add such wheat to the shipments did not prove any surprise in Ottawa since it is pointed out that Canada’s 1946 wheat crop is estimated at about 418,000,000 bushels now as against 440,000,000 bushels earlier this year and there are other traditional cus­ tomers who must be satisfied, with the remark that, though this year’s crop compared with 305,912,000 bushels in 1945 was considered good yet it did not reach some expecta­ tions here. PLAIN SPEAKING “Much has been written about Canada’s immunity to attack in the next war being reduced, that an at­ tack on this country is certain,” said in Ottawa the Director-General of Defence Research for the armed forces, Dr. O. M. Solandt. "We must be prepared for such attacks and we must face the fact that in another war we will be bombed and people killed. We must make sure that such attacks will not demoralize the coun­ try and that we will keep our eye on the ball. We must make sure that we are able to put up an effective fight against the attack.*’ Then he continued to emphasize “the only possible defence” against either atomic or biological warfare was to stop war, remarking that there was no doubt that “we could fight it and probably win’”, but there would be terrible destruction”, He did not hesitate to warn that "war is possible and we must be ready for war,” even if he added, that he was not suggesting that “we are going to be bombed immedi­ ately.” Women’s Washable Doeskin Gloves, made in Eng­ land—slip-on style with elastic at wrist.

But if we or any of our loved ones must go, we do want the very best poss­ ible for them. And the best possible just isn’t to be had if facilities are not of the best. Our hospital was built many years ago as a home. As a hospital it has always been a maker shift, and that in spite of money poured in at frequent intervals to add too, to renovate, to decorate and • alter, in order to bring it closer in < line with modern ideas. But nothing can alter the fact that it is not and never was a modern hospital. A town is only as up-to-date as its sanitary and medical facilities. Much fine work, both by doctors and nurses, has been done in the old building; and much, no doubt, will continue to be done while we wait the erection of the new, but nurses and doctors and all connected with the institution, will work with better heart if they know the difficult con­ ditions under which they labour are only temporary’, and that over-crowd­ ing and waiting for hospitalization are likely to end in the near future. No woman in 1946 wishes to work in a home under conditions prevail­ ing in 1846. Neither do doctors and nurses, although it is- to the honour of both professions that they do it cheerfully if they must. Women are the custodians of the family health and in a larger sense the public health, for healthy units make for healthy communities. It was the women of Ingersoll who saw the necessity for Public Health Ser­ vice. It was they who canvassed from door to door twenty odd years ago, to raise the money required to pay for the services of sqch a nurse. And women, convinced of the neces­ sity and urged on by a sense of public duty, can make it possible for our town to have a modern hospital and the complete and efficient ser- ■ vices such a hospital means. ! There will always be those who I fight against advance, arguing that ;what was good enough for j fathers is good enough for t their children. And so it m‘ we were all content to stand still, or rather to slip back as we inevit­ ably must, if we fail to strive to go forward. Our town surely deserves to go ahead. It does badly need a new hospital. Sincerely, Mr. Editor, A woman with pride in her community. day with a very good attendance. Mrs. William Allison, the president, occupied the chair and conducted routine business, including final plans for the community venison din­ ner. Mrs. John Day gave a reading that was greatly enjoyed. This was followed by a flower contest, with Mrs. James Moulton’ making the highest score. VERSCHOYLE UNITED CHURCH W. A.

(d) PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, INGERSOLL The regular meeting of the St. James’ A.Y.P.A. was held on Monday night and opened with a hymn, fol­ lowed by prayer. The minutes of the last two meetings were read and adopted. A business period followed and it was decided to change the “arrangements of the meetings.’’ It was suggested that a recreation per­ iod should follow each meeting. This was discussed. The next meeting will “Liter­ ary Night” in charge of the literary convener, Ken Messenger. The meeting was then turned over to the Missionary Convener, Molly Heenan. With Mary Shelton at the piano, the members sang the hymn, “The Love of Christ Con­ strained.” Then Jim Douglas led in the reading of the 96th Psalm. David Walsh read the Scripture lesson which was taken from Luke 10.1-9. Steve Brady led in prayer. Molly Heenan gave a very interesting read­ ing on the “Life of Paul”, and after the hymn, “Fling Out the Banner,” Rev. C. J. Queen dosed the meeting with benediction.
