Mayor C. W. Riley and Councillor Thos. J. Morrison ad­ dressed the members regarding a re­ duction in the estimates for educa­ tional purposes and asked the co­ operation pf the Board in an effort to keep the tax rate down. The mayor suggested a reduction of $2,000 or $3,000 if possible. Mr. Morrison explained the set-up for * the tax rate for 1947 and pointed out that with other obligations that the rate would be higher than in 1946. He urged reconsideration of the estimates as an appeal for con­ sideration which would assist in mak­ ing possible other matters befbre the council during the year.Chairman Malcolm assured the council delegates that the estimates would be reviewed and if possible a reduction arrived at. A communication from the Urban School Trustees and Ratepayers’ Association advised regarding con­ vention plans to be held at Niagara Falls in May.The Sarnia Board of • Education sent an invitation to members to attend the opening of a new school in that city. Principal A. G. Murray of the Public Schools, gave an interesting report. There are 824 pupils enrolled in both schools as compared to a total in 1946 of 793. The attendance in January had averaged 765 or 94%. This is the highest average attendance for the same month in some years. 90% of the pupils have taken advantage of the accident in­ surance provided. Princess Elizabeth and Memorial School grounds are in op­ eration and proving of real value as a recreation medium. t Mr. Murray asked for a ruling re­ garding the renting of the new pro­ jector. This ha? proven a real asset to the equipment- at the school and a number of requests have been made by organizations for the use of the machine. The Bugler will be publish­ ed again this year and open house will be held March 5th. Principal Herbert of the Collegiate Institute, in his report gave the en­ rolment as 240 with an average attendance in January of 213 or 92.3%. Inspectors had visited the school and had spoken very highly of the work and the behaviour of the pupils. The Open House and At Home had both been outstanding successes. Hot lunches are now being served at the school at noon hours and with the inclement weather quite a number of pupils had taken advan­ tage of the service which is as yet only in the form of a test. Mr. Herbert asked for 10 new cadet uni­ forms and also advised that the school magazine “The Volt”, will be published shortly. School Attendance Officer J. H. Humphrey reported 9 home calls, 2 home permits and 5 work permits. The matter of allowing the pro­ jectors used in the Collegiate and at the Victory Memorial School to be used other than for school purposes, was refused by resolution of both property committees, and the princi­ pals advised accordingly. On motion of Trustees Green and Lockhart ten new uniforms for the Cadet Corps will be purchased at a cost not to exceed $75. The board went into committee of the whole to review the estimates and after a full discussion it was de­ cided to reduefe the Collegiate Insti­ tute amount to bqf raised by assess­ ment to $19,214.52, a reduction of $700 and the public school amount to $32,481.89, a reduction of $800. The figures were confirmed after the Board reconvened and subse­ quently presented I to the council which was in special session in the clerk’s office. Thes^ figures made a total reduction of $1500 in the es­ timates for educational purposes. Monday at all, while The snow storm that came to the district during the week-end par­ tially paralyzed the rural mail de­ livery from Ingersoll. Rural Route No. I from Bayham, did not get through on Routes 2, 3, 4 and 5, were all only partly serviced by the contractors. It was learned from one driver that he was only able to go down one road by following the plow on its second trip and then had difficulty getting back, the snow was drifting so quickly. One report was to the effect that north and south roads were the most difficult to get through but one of the drivers of rural mail stated that all side roads were well filled in by drifts. Only about a third of each route was de­ livered on Monday. It was learned that the Bluebird bus via Putnam for London, was for­ ced to return to Ingersoll Monday morning until the snow plows went through. Postmaster Gibson stated that it has been some years since it was impossible to complete at least some 01 the rural mail delivery from Ing­ ersoll. Within the town limits there were no reports of hardship although on a number of streets drifts re­ tarded traffic during the morning on Monday. D.P. FERRAR WEDS KATHARINE J.

AID TO CHINA FUND AIDED BY CHURCHES The campaign locally for the Aid To China, is still a long way from the objective set for Ingersoll. Mr. R. S. Foster, treasurer of the fund, reported that there has been $589.00 contributed up to Tuesday. Some of the churches where appeals were made from the pulpit, have not as yet reported their offerings. There has been no general canvass but all the churches of the town distributed special envelopes for contribution to the fund and the press has carried advertising stressing the urgency for funds to alleviate the suffering in China, where many women and children have not sufficient food. The school children were also asked to contribute by the principals of the schools. The fund will remain open for some time and contributions can be made to any chartered bank. INGERSOLL JUVENILES ENTER O.H'A. PLAYDOWNS Rev. Ration Coupon Due Dates There was a good attendance at the February meeting of the Book Club held Thursday evening last in the public library. “ for the evening was Mrs. J. C. Her­ bert, who reviewed Stuart Cloate’s “Against These Three.” The author, an ardent African of Boer ancestry, is well known for his novels, “Turn­ ing Wheel” and “Wheel of Doves.” In “Against These Three” are given the biographies of three men who had one common interest—the union of South Africa. Paul Kruger, a Boeruwas a great leader among his own people and was referred to as The Bull. He pos­ sessed little education but much re­ ligious feeling, was a great athlete, and above all, a zealous patriot. Cecil Rhodes, an Oxford graduate, came to Africa at the beginning of the diamond boom, and in his busi­ ness dealings seems to have had the Midas touch. He was an ardent Im­ perialist and wanted Africa united under the British Empire. Unfortun­ ately Rhodes’ methods would not seem to bear close scrutiny, and his theory apparently was that the end justified the means. His political car­ eer was ruined by the Jameson Raid of the Boers, and.he retired to Rhod­ esia losing much prestige. Lobengula was the last of the Kaffir kings who opposed the Brit­ ish. His life was influenced to some extent by an adopted white aister and he did try to understand! the British. His dream too, was to see Africa united. While the book has a wealth of detail, and is well worth while, it is compared to a text-book with its heavy reading. A general discussion followed^the review. The thanks of the Book Club were ably expressed to Mrs. Herbert by Miss Betty Crawford. ” The secretary’s report of the year 1946 was read by Mrs. Porter. The executive of the Book Club for 1947 is as follows: * } President—Mrs. L. W. Porter, f*Vice-President—Miss E. Carney/ Secretary and Press Representa­ tive—Mrs. R. Kilgour. Assistant—Miss H. Nagle.

THE INGER8OLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 13, 1947Looking Back — In the — Files of The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario ORATORICAL CONTESTLARGELY ATTENDED 30 YEARS AGO Thursday, February 8th, 1917 PERSONALS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13th, 1947 Oxford County’a Cheese Production Highest in the Province Hopeful signs are appearing in Oxford County. During the war many plowshares were turned into swords, because of necessity. The hands wielding them had to become accustomed to new occupations Oxford County’s wartime contribution was magni­ ficent. It looks as- if her peacetime contribution will be equally so. In a dairy report of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, wore cheese was produced in*Oxford during the month of December, than in any other county of the Province. Oxford cheese factories produced 175,752 pounds of cheese. Next in pro­ duction was Middlesex County with 166,123 pounds. That is a record of which to be proud. A starv­ ing world calls for food. Some people have not seen butter or cheese for years. No finer function can be performed by the green fields of Oxford than to support life. Ingersoll’s poet, James McIntyre, himself a business man, knew where the real source of wealth lay, and he frequently extolled the dairy industry in rhyme. Evidently the early settlers after clearing the land of forest growth, allowed it to become depleted by overcropping. A serious situation developed, with many farmers facing ruin. The introduction of dairying saved the day, and prosperity returned. McIntyre expressed it thus: "A few’ years since our Oxford farms Were nearly robbed of all their charms, O’er-cropped, the weary land grew poor, And nearly barren as a moor. But now their owners live at ease; Rejoicing in their crop of cheese." Those were good days in the life of Oxford County, because its basic industry was active. Equally as good times will come again, if, to quote our local poet: "All dairymen their highest aims Should be, to make the vale of Thames, Where milk doth so abundant flpw, Dairyland of Ontario.” Mrs. Hesseneur of Aylmer, spent the week with her mother, Mrs. Cotter. Katherine McGhee of Woodstock, is spending the week at the home of Mr. H. C. Ross. Mrs. Spencer McDonald and son Billie of Till- sonburg, were guests this week of Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Dunn.

Mount Elgin—An oratorical con­ test sponsored by the Lions Club of Ingersoll for Secondary Schools, was held resently in the Community Hall, Mount Elgin. There was a very good attendance considering the zero weather and the condition of roads. These oratorical contests prove to be very encouraging and instructive to everyone and a great help to our young people to develop themselves as public speakers. The chairman for the evening was John Robbins of Ingersoll, a member of the Lions Clug and the programme opened with singing "O Canada”, with Joyce Mohr, a student of the Mount Elgin Continuation School at the piano. The judges of the even­ ing were Mrs. Day of Verschoyle, Rev. G. A. Cowper-Smith, Mount Elgin, and L. B. Hyde, Ingersoll, In­ spector of public schools of South Oxford. Rev. Cowper-Smith presented the report of the judges, commending all the speakers and stating that the judging was not any easy task as all the speeches were exceptionally good. All spoke on the same subject, "Is Canada Yet a Nation?” All the speakers showed that a great deal of studying had been done to obtain material for their speeches. However, differences among tbf contestants were noticed in their style, lang­ uage, 'delivery and voice. The spenk- ers in the order in. which they were placed by the judges follow: Tom Douglas of the |ngersoll C. I., Mar­ jorie Donald,, Russell Dickout and Donald Watt, tie latter three being pupils of the Mount Elgin Continua­ tion School. Adi were awarded prizes. ■^Vhile the&dges were preparing their report* piano selections were placed by m * Joyce Mohr and Mrs. Jack Pollar4 and Miss Catherine Be- lore contriBUtcd vocal solos, accom­ panied by Mrs. Pollard.

JAMES HENDERSONPASSES IN HER 80th YEAR The death of a highly esteemed and life-long resident of Ingersoll in the person of Mrs. Mary Henderson, widow of Jame* Henderson, occurred at her home on King street west, on Wednesday evening of last week, following a long period of ill health. Born in Inger»oll, Mrs. Henderson who was in her 80th year, was a daughter of the late Mr, and Mrs. John McGinnis, pioneers of the dis­ trict, and was one of the oldest native born residents of the town. She was a member of the Church of the Sacred Heart and while health permitted had taken an active part in the work of the parish. Possessing a kindly and cheerful manner, Mr*. Henderson had endeared herself to a very large circle of friends and her passing is deeply regretted. Her husband who served the municipality as councillor and mayor, predeceased her in 1928. Left to mourn the passing of a beloved mother are three sons, Fred and Robert of Ingersoll, William of Windsor, and tWo daughters, Mrs. Frank McCann, Windsor and Mrs. G. Schaefer, Detroit. Also surviving is one brother, Alex. McGinnis, Ing­ ersoll and eight grandchildren. The funeral was held on Saturday morning from the Preston T. Walker Funeral Home, at 8.30 o’clock, to the Church of the Sacred Heart, where requiem mass was celebrated at 9.00 o’clock, by Rev. Father E. Tierney. The large attendance at the service and the profusion of mass cards and floral tribMes bespoke the esteem in which deceased was held. Entombment took place at the Inger­ soll Mausoleum and the pall bearers were Robert and James Henderson, Leo McCann, Robt. James, grand­ sons; Alex. McGinnis and Neil Mc­ Ginnis, nephews. them, L. B. Hyde, the inspector of South Oxford Public Schools, in a few remarks, introduced Card Mohr, a pupil of the Mount Elgin Public School, whose principal is Oliver There Must Be a Limit To Spending Public Funds Some idea of the cost of socialized living is given by the various requests received by the Town Council at its regular session on Monday evening of last week. One organization after an­ other asked for a contribution from public funds. Those funds are raised by taxation. They were not placed in the town treasury by any miracle. If there is uncontrolled spending the taxation burden will become oppressive and the economic structure will topple. Then the whole system of public ser­ vices will fold up. Democracy requires of every citizen that he should consider the treasury as if it was his own. For each expenditure made, there should be value received. The community must do without certain ‘Rings in order to have others that are more nec­ essity. Industry must be assisted to produce wealth, instead of being strangled. Ingersoll citizens, realizing the need for two important services, voted for them recently. But by doing so, they did not issue a carte blanche to the Town Fathers to hand out money to anyone who might ask for it.No one gets all they want all the time—not even municipalities. Hunting Reservations Needed For Every District Seven Oxford County residents have been charged with infractions of the Game and Fish­ eries Act, because of hunting and shooting on Sunday. Many people might consider this an unreason­ able charge. They might think that hunting should be as permissable on Sunday as on any other day. However, there are others, as well as hunters toconsider in this connectkAi. First of all, there is the fanner who owns the land. In a week filled with work, he tries to take a little time off on Sunday. He likes to stroll about his property; to see how things are going generally;; to cross the fields to call on a neighbour. He has every right to enjoy what little leisure is his, without having to dodge bullets. 1 Also on Sundays, there! are many other people I out for a few hours, to enjoy the countryside. In fact, there is a good deal of recreational activity in the country then. For some, those rambles over hill and dale are a'wonderful restorative after a busy week. It is not fair that they should be ex­ posed to the dangers of shooting. It is becoming increasingly apparent that in every district there should be some sort of pre­ serve, where hunters can hunt at any time without jeopardizing the lives of others. Distorted Sense of Humour Breeds Crime Four live* were lost In Indiana recently because two boys, aged 10 and 11 years, in a spirit of mischief, placed a roll of fence wire on a railroad track, derailing a passenger train and injuring forty-four people as well. This is just one more tragedy resulting from juvenile delinquency. In some way or other, those lads have developed a distorted sense of humour. That is unfortunate, for a sense of humour, prop­ erty developed, can be an unending source of . ^pleasure, it can avert, rather than cause, tragedy. Just what gives one person a healthy sense of. * humour, while another lacks it, is difficult to de­ termine. But young minds should be taught to despise the pleasure that is derived from watching the sufferings of other*.

Phone 179 It is evident now in Ottawa that the fight against infiation in this country is not ended and controls in some directions will be with Canad­ ians in 1947 or until such time as the authorities decide that such measures are no longer essential, even if there are many people who seemed to be­ lieve that such controls would die at the beginning of this session. “If there has been one thing above another that the people of this coun­ try have implored this government to watch it has been to see that prices did not go skyrocketing after this war as they did after the last war,” said in Parliament Premier King in support of the Government’s price control policy. “All the indications are that delay from now on in removing controls will cause constantly increasing diffi­ culties", said the leader of Official Opposition, Hon. John Bracken, in discussing controls. “The moral of this is that the sooner these hin­ drances to production can be re­ moved, the sooner we will get the ad­ vantage of free and full production. Until then we shall have the con­ stant irritation of a series of price rises.” However, rents, export con­ trols and things of that sort, in inodi- fied^form, had to be given careful consideration and retained if neccss- The Minister of Transport, Hon. Lionel Chevrier, has indicated that some 112 cars daily can be provided for feed at the lake head and at the bay ports offering this information about the provisions being made to help out in the feed grain shortage in certain sections of Canada in­ cluding the Maritimes. “It is thought that if that provis­ ion of empty box cars can be made the situation will be well in hand”, he stressed, pointing out that both the railways and the Transport Con­ troller are giving this question their keen attention. EARLIER BUDGET While no specific information Is available exactly when the 1947-48 Budge will be presented in Ottawa, yet it is said in usually well-informed quarters on Parliament Hill a stren­ uous effort will be made this year to bring down this Budget earlier than last year when it was offered on June 27 amidst much dissatisfaction. “It means that consumer goods have been withheld for higher prices and profits by manufacturers, but because they were all doing it we may all be caqght in the trap, for Canada cannot be immune from econ­ omic trends in the United States though by economic planning . we could mitigate their evil effects," de­ clared C.C.F. leader M. J. Coldwell, telling Parliament about a bulletin of the Federal Reserve Bank Board at Washington which warned that United States faces an immediate economic crisis and a depression appears unavoidable. "Any specific controls the govern­ ment is able to convince us beyond any reasonable doubt they need to protect the welfare of the Canadian people as a whole, will receive our support,” stated in Parliament, Hon. Solon Low, for the Social Credit Party. “All the others must go as far as we are concerned.” ’ SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT “It was an experiment”, empha­ sized Prime Minister Mackenzie King in praising the arrangements for sending a Canadian delegation to the United Nations’ Assembly in London and New York, comprising members of the Government and the . oppos­ ition as well as members from both Houses. “It was something being tried in Canada I think almost for the first time with the exception of the delegation to the United HOUSING PROBLEM The Canadian Government, which has completed 50,000 housing units 1945 and 60,000 in 1946, is planning the objective of 80,000 Housing units for 1947. This has been disclosed in Ottawa.

AMOS, Secretary,Office, 4 King Street East, IngersollP. O. Bos 29S Phone 95 TF YOU are like most amateurx photographers, landscapes or ’“scenlcs** are bound to be among your chief picture interests. And during the winter months chances are that will be particularly true because the snow covered landscape is so very pictorial and looks so fresh, clean, and Inviting. Scenic shots are, of course, quiteeasy to make. But here are a fewpoints that will help you produce better winter snapshots: first sim­ plify your pictures , . . frame your landscapes with natural objects such as snow covered branches or trees .. . and use one or two peopleIn your pictures to add a feeling of life and human Interest to the scene.Naturally, If people are Includedin your snaps, you shouldn't allowthem to stare at the camera. They should fie an Incidental part of your picture. But always try to place thepeople in such a position that they'llform a focal point—or center of Interest—for the scene. In our Illus­tration this week, tor Instance, theskier gives point and emphasis to the landscape. As for framing, note how the snow covered trees in our illustra­tion form a partial frame for thefigure—and how this framing givesa feeling of great depth to the pic­ ture. You can get the same three- dimensional quality in your snapsby framing your landscapes in asimilar or in even a more emphaticmanner. But whether you frame your win­ ter landscape pictures, or includepeople, or forget all about peopleand taming—don’t try to crowd too much into each picture you make. The best scenic pictures are alwaysthe simplest—so look for the mostInteresting section of the landscape, get to the heart of your subject, simplify the composition as muchas possible, and you’ll produce bet­ter scenic snaps than you ever havebefore.

He sits at a white kitchen table, flanked by a deep-lipped pitcher filled with rich looking syrup and the other essen­ tials for a perfect griddlecakp meal. Some citrus fruit, spiced sausages and coffee are the only other foods needed apart from the griddle cake ingredients. There he sits, and as the lace-edged pancakes or patterned waffles are baked and come off the iron, he eats his fill. That is a pro­ file of the true and ardent griddle­ cake fan. Barring the privilege I told you of, let us hope the electric waffle iron is set upon the dining room table. Because “hot off the griddle” is the best quality waffle.

The ser­geant’s face was la the shade'above the ring of light from the desk-lamp, but the inspector was aware of some subtle change in ’him as he spoke.

His way did not take him past French Pete s, yet his feet turnedautomatically in that direction. He opened the door and held It in thedriving gale. The fiddles still scraped out gay tunes, the feet ofthe dancers continued to stamp the old worn floor, but the little table at which he looked was emp- ty. and the chair pushed aside. On the floor beneath lay a small dark object O’Hara stepped soft­ ly into the room, picked it up. andwent out, unnoticed. There was a delicate fragrance about it. a soft­ness that yet held the shape of a than his wild love for tbs girl. The very remorse of It stirredagain the subtile in s tin c t in O'Hara's mind.

Laurel O’Hara was trying to Imagine her.to summon up some picture of Oharlan's wife, when the nurselet him in to question Johnson. Constable Johnson was a triflefeverish from bls wound, and not a little sullen. He added absolute­ly nothing to his report, and O’Hara began to understand the inspector's doubts. The woundedman gave an impression that ho The dead girl had these gripped tight, n ul have pulled them off the slayer's coat. as soon as you've seen Johnson." “Anything else, sir?” “Yes!” The inspector reached down into a drawer of his deskand held out two small dark ob­ jects. "The dead girl had these gripped tight, must have pulled them off the slayer’s coat.” O’Hara’s keen face sharpenedas Macdonald banded him two mink tails. "Pretty fair clew if you could spot the coat." bis chief said grim­ly, "but probably you'll never lay eyes on it — till it’s mended!'* O’Hara studied the tails. Theybad been torn out by the force of ths dying girl’s grip; the endswere ragged. “You can’t teH," he remarkedthoughtfully. "M u rde rers do mighty queer things. This is all,inspector?’’ Macdonald meditated for an in­ stant, his big brows down, then he looked around at O’Hara sharp­ ly. “Just one more thing. I’vegot a notion Johnson's bolding something back. He’s a first-rateofficer and I bate to think he’s keeping anything up his sleeve sothe other fellow can’t make good while he's laid up. Get him to talkif you can.” “I'd like to ask one more ques­ tion, sir.** “Go ahead.” “Do you happen to know whereGharian's wife is now?” Macdonald shook bls head.“She’s been in Nova Scotia some­ where, taking care of a sick brother; that's Gharian’s story. The truth was bo ill-treated her. There's a story be was the causeof her baby's death; while drunk and irresponsible he dropped the child or struck IL God knowswhich? She made no charge against him. “Tire- Crees out there and the trappers adored her, said she was a saint. The child was burledback of the cabin; and then she left him. That's long ago. I'mtrying to locate her now with the news of his death; It’ll be a relief, I'm thinking, poor womanl She’shad nothing to do with him for Q at least two yeayi; that I know for woman's hand. It was a docskingauntlet. He thrust It Into his pocketand went on, walking .fast, his head bowed against the wind. Hemust see Johnron tonight. As he went he heard the train again, a long way, off, crossing a bridge—sounds carry far on a frozen night. That terrible intuition, which wasa part of him flashed on the lens of his subconscious mind. "Shewent on that. She's ahead of you, going north!” And again that face seemed to emerge like a wraithout of the darkness, possibly con­ jured by the subtle fragrance ofher glove. Twice O’Hara thrust his hand into bis pocket to cast the thing behind him, and twice his hand fell at his side. Some­ thing — was it premonition orjust a type of callow folly foreign to him — made him keep thearticle. Then, standing under tip lampin the hall, outside of Johnson's sickroom, he read the crumpled, blood stained letter Gharlan hadwritten to the girl before she came to nurse his wounds. It was abroken plea for forgiveness that established her Ignorance of hismarriage. "Nicky was right to shoot me, Ninon! I'm married. I never told you because she left me long ago, and hates me. I treated her bad, dear girl, I coufqpa It; but I could never treat you bad I You’re the only girl I ever really loved, but I'll cot out my tongue before I offend you again!

"He's got something up his sleeve!” the sergeant thoughtgrimly. "He’s a good fellow and he's got no cause to be jealous because I've got this particularjob; it’s no peach! What the deuce Is behind it all?” Johnson told him where be lost the th ir d party's tracks. "Thestream’s frozen, there’s a clump of Artic willows by the edge of it;the tracks went down there, deep in the snow. Fellow must have slipped, then he got on the Ice and kept there. I never found where he got off it,” "Large tracks?” "Somiy And some small; I mea­sured qfu. It's all down in the re­ port.” "I see! Two persons, then? Thesmall ones might have been a wo­ man’s, eh?" O’Hara was watchingthe sick man keenly. Johnson's fever flush deepened."Might be,” he admitted, "but wo­ men don't take that trail alone,pard, not commonly!" O’Hara admitted this, ris in g and going to the lamp to look overthe notes he held In his hand. He felt the sick man’s eyes following,and remembered Johnson's known reluctance to handle a case wherea woman was Involved; he had suffered bad luck once and be­lieved himself unduly prejudiced! Decidedly O'Hara was of thechief’s opinion. Johnson knew or had guessed something that he was holding back, but what was It? O'Hara took his time, sorted hta notes and slipped an elasticbatsd over them. "I think that's all,” he said cheerfully, returningto the bed to clasp the constable’s uninjured hand. "I hope you comethrongh soon, old man, and get back to hplp me on this job. I don't believe Nicky Creusc is guilty. S’long!” Johnson murmured somethingunintelligible about "good luck,” and sank back on his pillows withobvious relief. But, at the door, his visitor turned abruptly. "I've been thinking of Gharian's wife. Find any trace of her about the cabin, letter or picture—or any­thing?” Johnson mot his eyes, steadily,chalienglngly. "No," he replied after a moment. "I found no Uac«of her about the cabin.” (To be continued) ?

O N T A IIIO 'S future prosperity depends directly on a sufficient volume of production to satisfy domestic needs and assure for Canada a pre-eminent place in the markets of the world. Take the electrical industry for example •.. never before has the demand, both here and abroad, for the products of Ontario’s great electrical plants been so great. Production must be in­ creased ... but to meet new production goals, skilled hands are needed. For them great opportunities lie ahead. Higher wages, job security, better working conditions are within easier reach of those who have mastered a skilled occupation. Today, through the plan sponsored by the Department of Veterans* Affairs and other agencies, thousands of young workers are being trained to meet the electrical and other industrial needs of this Province. Graduates of these rehabilitation courses are now ready to take their places in Ontario’s industry.

Dea ch man From time to time stories apjfcar in the papers telling us that Ontario apples are poor, they are not the fruit we used to know. That cry gives me strange nostalgic pains. I remember these apples, I knew them years ago. Where now is the Talman Sweet, a lovely apple in its pristine glory? What has become of the Snow Apple with its ruddy face, its thin skin and its white body? Then there was the Golden Russet and the Northern Spy, the pick of the lot for late eating. We have them yet, they do not seem the same, Has the flavor gone out of them or am I sensing it through memories more imaginative than real. It’s a sad story. On the face of things nothing could be done about it along the lines we were operating when the disaster came. The average farmer in pioneer days plan®! an FULL COURSE MEALS 40cnip WHOLESOME FO<*SQUICK sEWyicrf STA R CAFe 95 Thame* St-. Tuger.oll • Phone 497W • LONDON - ONTARIO acre or two of orchard a* soon as the land was cleared. There' were no coddling moths in those days, there was no scab to mar and deface the fruit. The apples were big and beau­ tiful. They were blessed by a flavor not known in lands where the climate was less invigorating—British Colum­ bia for instance. Now I’ve put my foot in it! My friend, George Cruickshank, M.P., raves about the British Colum­ bia fruit With deep humility I ad­ mit that, in appearance, the British Columbia fruit is often better than our own, But George Cruickshank, M.P., born west of the Great Lakes, living now in British Columbia, doesn’t know the flavor of the On­ tario apple back about the time of the Riel rebellion, he wasn’t even born then. It is not his fault, what could he know -of Ontario, who only B.C. knows. He’s an M.P., of course, but Western M.P.’s never get to know the real Ontario-the farms and the little villages. Well, what did happen to Ontario apples? The orchards were small, an acre or two on a hundred acre farm. They were an unimportant factor in the farm economy. In many cases they were grown wholly for home consumption. The farmers put them . in bins or barrels ,and stored them in ’ the cellar for winter use. / The ground was not cultivated, the trees were not properly cared for, apple growing was not even a side line, the Ontario apple, for years, was not wl^ft it once was. Now new commercial orchards have been developed, and from these we are getting good fruit. The apple in­ dustry is on the march again, and British Columbia, which at times, I admit, does fairly well, must look to its laurels, we shall dispute any of its temporary gains, do it on the basis of quality, Ontario was a lovely land in the old days—still is, of course. The fish­ ing season started on the 24th of May. The sheep would be washed be­ fore the first of June, The old swim- ing holes resounded to the yells of youngsters taking their first dip. It rained on the 12th of July. I wish Ontario would go back to making apple butter—the real kind, what a marvellous smoky flavor! There was a touch of ashes in it! Then we had pumpkin pie and black currants and gooseberries and com on the cob. In those days nearly every farmer had roast lamb for the threshing dinner, and I recall one bright chap who said he could taste wool for a month after the threshing was over. Things are different now, but these far off memories are a part of. life which will abide till the shadows full and those who lived them know them no more. A wide open lens kept a tree at the right out of focus, preventing it from cluttering up the background. SIN gr C e E at d b e a a c l k t g o r o d u o n d w s i th w t il h l e h ap av p e e ar a ­ ance of any picture, it’s well to Con­ sider just what you can do to get a proper background. The basic rule to RRgfmber here is that the best backgrounds aresimple and uncluttered. These addto your pictures. A confused back­ground, with criss-cross lines or ajumbled pattern, takes away fromyour pictures. It competes for atten­ tion with the subject.Fortunately, the snapshooter can control his backgrounds in several ways. The first of these is to select a plain backdrop and place the sub­ject there. This is the’simplestmethod and will work with anycamera from a simple box type toan elaborate precision miniature. However, it isn’t always possible tomove your subject around. The second method involves cam­ era analc. There's no better back­ ground than the sky. By shooting from a spot lower than’ your sub­ ject, so that you shoot up. you place the sky behind your subject. In effect Here, however, it Is well tobe cautious—don't shoot from soexaggerated an angle as to distort your subject A third method for controlling your background is available it youhave a camera which has severallens apertures. Remember that thebigger the lens opening the lessyour depth of field. By opening yourlens wide, you can focus on yoursubject and leave objects beyond the subject slightly out of focus. Of course, with a wide open lens you'll have to shorten your exposure time. With different picture-taking sit­uations, you will want to try one oranother of these several methods.Whichever one you try, chances are you’ll find a simple background gives new snap to your shots.
