CONDUCTED SUNDAY SERVICES One of the most brilliant and thoughtful addresses delivered to an Ingersoll audience for many years, was given by Senator T. D Bou­ chard of St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, at the Chamber of Commerce banquet, held in St Paul's Presbyterian Church Sunday School room on Mon­ day evening. Senator Bouchard’s gifts arq many; he is a man of deep sincerity, keen intellect, wide sym­ pathies and understanding. He is a man of true spiritual perception, with a high sense of his responsibi­ lity to life in general. In his conduct as a Canadian he reveres the past, and envisages the future with hope and a tremendous enthusiasm. In Canada, Senator Bouchard sees a great nation, composed of peopie of varied racial origin blended by patri­ otic fervour. Senator Bouchard loves French-Canadians—he loves all Can­adians, in fact he loves all people. He wants to see them living in peace and harmony. In order to do that, he feels they must understand each other and be prepared to co-operate. Isolationism has no stronger oppon­ ent than the Senator from St. Hy­ acinthe. To express such views has at times required deep inward searching in order to find the well­ springs* of truth, but he found them. The result is that the Canadian Unity Alliance is likely to have a dis­ tinct influence on Canadian life and policy. ' In his opening remarks he men­ tioned his desire to arrange *his schedule, so that he might speak to an Ingersoll audience. He said: “I did not know that here 1 would meet a population of the same character as that of the town in which’ I was bom and have lived all my happy as well as my sad days. I was convinced that in Ingersoll I would talk, though in a different language, to brothers and cousins of my home­ town folks. I felt a sentimental appeal, as if an invisible and power­ ful magnet were attracting me in the far distance, southwest . of my city. Your population is composed mostly of Canadians of English, Scot­ tish and Irish origin, and if there has not been a great change in these last five years, in its religious com­ plexion, the proportion of the Roman (Catholics as compared with Protest­ ants, is in the neighbourhood of ten per cent I come from a Quebec city of some 20,000 population, where the picture as regards the racial and religious aspects is nearly exactly the reverse. Needless to say, I am a Can­ adian of French descent and a Catholic.” The speaker^ explained his own views on matters spiritual and tem­ poral. recognizing his obligation to submission to his church teachings in the former, hut claiming independ­ ence for the individual in the latter, he went on to say: "the broad-minded Catholics, to which group I belong, (Continued on page 6) Major William Jolly, Divisional Young People’s Secretary of the London-Windsor Division of the Sal­ vation Army, conducted the services at the citadel here on Sunday. The Major has been supervisor of the Red Shield work overseas for nearly seven years and is the Salvation Army’s last official to come back to Canada from war service. He had a wealth of information to share with his hearers and in the morning ser­ vice he spoke bn “proper thinking”, while at the evening service his sub­ ject was “Salvage.” The evening subject was built around the words, “To seek and to save that which was lost” He claimed that very few people are lost to the church in these’ days but that they have gotten into the wrong place and therefore are not as fruitful as would be the case :f they were in their right places. During the sen-ice the Major commissioned four junior bandsmen, namely George Rodwell, Gordon^lod- welL.Allan Pittock and Douglas-Pit- ‘tock. Capt. Bernard Acton welcomed •Major Jolly and assisted in the ser­ vices of the day. World Day of Prayer Fittingly Observed MRS. CHAS. STOAKLEY PASSES AT LONDON “VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE’ THEME FOR DISCUSSION “Vocational Guidance” was the theme for discussion at last week's meeting of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, held at the Coffee Shop, and presided over by President L. B. Hyde. Special speakers on the sub­ ject were Principal J. C. Herbert and Currie Wilson, both of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute, who gave an ac­ count of vocational guidance as applied at the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute, during the past year and the satisfactory results obtained. Modern life being such as it is, it is realized that young people, in or­ der to fit into the scheme of things, must be guided, rather than be al­ lowed to drift on. Parents and teach­ ers, as well as all elders have a re­ sponsibility towards these youths, and must have some knowledge and understanding of vocations, in order to give the necessary guidance. The speakers were introduced by Kiwanian J. J. McLeod, director in charge of public affairs, citizenship and vocational guidance. This (Thursday) evening’s speaker will be G. R. Boucher, M.P. for Carle­ ton, who will speak on "Citizenshipand the Citizenship Act.’^ A large number of women filled the Salvation Army Citadel on Fri­ day afternoon for the annual World Day of Prayer service. Mrs. Bern­ ard Acton of the Salvation Army conducted the service, assisted by members of women’s church organiz­ ations in town. The form of service had been prepared by a talented Indian woman, Mrs. Isabel Caleb, on the staff of Ewing Christian College, Allahabad, and the theme, “Make Straight in the Desert a Highway For Our God,” was followed under the headings of meditation, (des­ erts); confession, (mirages); thanks­ giving (oases and caravans); inter­ cession (to Jesus, the Head of the caravan). Leaders for the responsive read­ ings on the above were Mrs. Schwindt, of the Pentecostal Taber­ nacle; Mrs. William Worth, Trinity United Church; Mrs. R. Murray Sim­ mons, First Baptist Church; Mrs. James Baxter and Mrs. R. Tye, both of St. James’ Anglican Church. For the period of silent prayer, the lead­ ers were Mesdames Lloyd Brown, W. A. C. Forman, R. A. Paterson and W. Armstrong. Mrs. J. M. Malcolm gavg^^n in­ spiring talk on the theme, showing the Highway of God to be a golden thread joining together the hearts of women in prayer all round the world Mrs. Robert Wark sang “The Lord’s Prayer”, beautifully, accom­ panied by Mrs, O. B. Moffatt at the piano. Prayers were offered also by Mrs. S. Galpin and Mrs. R. Wilson. The meeting was closed with a dosing prayer offered by Mrs. Acton. Mesdames F. Uncer and P. Groom of the Salvation Army, acted as ushers. A liberal offering was re­ ceived, which will be sent to the Wo­ men’s Inter-Church Council of Canada. , EXCELSIOR CLASS TO MAKE HOSPITAL SUPPLIES BODY OF P. OKOBY RAILWAY TRACKS ST. JAMES’ CHURCH APPOINTS ORGANIST H. A. Clark, recently organist of St. Paul’s Church, Port Dover, and previous to that of St. Luke’s Church, Brantford, yesterday enter­ ed upon his duties as organist and choir master of St. James’ Anglican Church, Ingersoll. He was in charge of the music at the Lenten service last evening and fully justified the high recommendation with which he came to Ingersoll. He studied at the Toronto Conservatory of Music as well as at the University of Toronto. The crushed body of P. Oko, a re­ cent arrival in Ingersoll, was found beside the C.N.R. tracks, west of the Wonham street crossing, about 9 o’clock on Sunday morning. Very little is known of the fatality as there were apparently no witnesses. But it is assumed that it occurred before 8 o’clock. Russell Pittock, Victoria street, made the discovery and in­ formed the police, whose investiga-, tions revealed that the unfortunate victim had arrived in Ingersoll on Friday, expecting to get work as a painter on houses being constructed by Wartime Housing Limited, in Kensington Park. He had engaged a room in a house on King street west, spent a night there and had not re­ turned. His parents said to be living in Winnipeg, are being sought. The remains are resting at the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, pen­ ding further information. Thf president, Mrs. Harold Thomp­ son, presided at the regular meeting of the Excelsior Class of the Baptist Chufi-h, held at the home of Mrs, Stanley Whiteford, Victoria street, on Friday evening. Mrs. Leonard Hunt conducted the devotional per­ iod, after which routine business was discussed and reports received. It was decided to continue making sur­ gical dressings for the White Cross work for hospitals in India. Mrs. Bert Hunt had charge of the entertainment program when crokin- ole was enjoyed, the prizes being won by Mesdames George Langford and Earl Nunn.

Miss Ethel Simpson made the presentation to Miss Wilson, who entered the St. Joseph’s Hospital Training School for nurses, London, recently. Also at the Sunday service of the school, attendance pins and bars were presented to a number of pupils by the minister of the church, Rev. G. W. Murdoch. Canada is not wholly a land of ice and snow. While some districts boast of their high drifts and low temper­ atures, Oxford County has other novelties. It can produce cotton in February, that could be matched with anything in Dixie. Mr. Fred Lasenby, R. R. No. 2, has donejit. From a seed which came from Georgia, and planted last spring in a flower pot, he has a fine healthy plant, bearing a perfect bloom of soft, downy fluff, casting defiance at King Winter and his cohorts. - It is very interesting, but truth compels ug to admit that the plant was nurtured in the comfortable at­ mosphere of Mrs. Lasenby’s kitchen. IMPROVEMENTS TO LIGHTEN THE FARMER’SBURDEN KEYSTONE REBEKAHS SPONSOR EUCHRE S.S. CLASS HELD A SKATING PARTY Nine tables were in play at the euchre sponsored by the Keystone Rebekah Lodge in the I.O.O.F. Hall on Monday evening. Scores were dafollows: Ladies* high, Mrs. Harold. Smith; men’s high, Mr, A. Thornton; ladies' lone hand, Miss Marjorie Noe; gents’ lone hand, Mrs. Hiltz, (playing as a man); consolation prizes, Mrs. Henry Morris and Mr. Preston Ford.ft Members of Mrs. John Moon’s Sunday School Class of St James’ Anglican Church, held a very enjoy­ able skating party at the rink on the property of Mr. A.

The regular meeting of th£ Inger­ soll Lions Club was marked by the attendance of a number of visiting Lions at the Coffee Shop on Monday night. Among the visitors were four members of the Burford Club, headed by President John Fraser and Lion Clark Lowe of Port Dover. The speaker of the evening was Frank Peppiatt, public relations offi­ cer and sales manager of the O’Keefe Brewing Company, of Toronto. The subject for his talk was “Progres­ sive Selling”, and he gave a very instructive address to his hearers. We must take a different view of our jobs and get away from the old com­ placency and thereby assure good times. It is not wise to speak of a coming depression or sooner .or later it will corrfls» Anyone who talks de­ pression, said the speaker, lacks fore­ sight and has no place in our social structure. The present generation is going to build and we must look for­ ward to a tremendous boom in bus­ iness and if we get enough enthus­ iasm we will share in the spending .of the savings that have accrued. Canada is entering a highly com­ petitive era and the speaker advised taking stock of ourselves and then be sure of what we are doing. The simple kindly things of life sums up public relations and our good deeds lend a satisfaction that is worthwhile. Mr. Peppiatt mentioned that no one can do a good job if they come from an unhappy home and gave the ad­ vise to the Lions Club to assist in making every home happy and con­ tented. The speaker was introduced by Lion Jim Hartnett and appreciation of the address was voiced by Lion Alex. Roble^. During the evening Miss Dolores Desmond contributed a cornet solo and Miss Patricia Desmond gave a vocal solo which was later followed by a trombone and cornet duet these two talented young ladies. The Women’s Association of The Baptist Church entertained members of the choir of the church at a de­ lightful dinner party in the Sunday School room, on Friday evening. About 60 were present to enjoy the delicious turkey dinner, prepared by the ladies. The tables were tastefully decorated with Valentine Wavours and red crepe paper streamers, as well as cut flowers, which were later sent as a token of regard to Mr. F. W. Waters, for many years a valued member-of the choir who is now in­ disposed. The flowers wep* kindly donated by Mr. Bert Hunt/ Following dinner, a short business period was conducted by the choir president, Mr. Burford Learn, when the secretary, Mrs. Helen Penner, gave a report of the choir’s activities during the past year. Mr. Stanley Galpin, on behalf of the guests, thanked the ladies for the delicious treat. Mrs.^Cooper, pre­ sident of the W.A.. responded, pay­ ing tribute to the fine services ren­ dered by the choir. The pastor. Rev. R. Murray Simmons, also voiced those sentiments in a short speech. Mrs. McKinney, choir leader, and Miss Edith Making, organist, replied, 1 thanking all for their co-operation and support. Sam Hamilton led a hearty sing song, with all taking part. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing games, arranged by Mesdames Cecil Smith and Arthur Pittock, also Miss Cora Crook^r. When the gathering dispersed, all agreed that it was the pleasantest ever held. by SUDDEN PASSING OF MISS JOHANNA BEATTIE With the transferor Provincial Pol­ ice Constable Al.

While not in robust health, she had been around as usual of late and had attended the Sunday evening service at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, where she was a devoted member.

Six new members were welcomed by the president, Mrs. James Baxter, who briefly out­ lined the achievements and obliga­ tions of the organization, mentioning the two main functions sponsored by the Auxiliary to raise funds, namely, the tea in May, commemorating Flor­ ence Nightingale's birthday, and the Rose Tag Day in June. An excellent " article written by Mrs. Rhynas, president of the Hospi­ tal Aides of the Province of Ontario, on the “Aims and Purposes”, of this organization, was read.

The banquet was served by the Ladies Aid of the church under the direction of Mrs. Robert Hutt and Mrs. Nicholls, and was of a very high order. Jjmmie Wilford and his Top Hatters provided music during the dinner hour and an expression of appreciation to them was given by~S. L. Shelton. L. A. Westcott expressed the thanks of the gathering to the ladies for their splendid service and was responded to by Mrs. Hutt and Mrs. Nicholls. Acting Mayor Thomas J. Morrison, on behalf of Mayor Riley and the Town Council, voiced the apprecia­ tion of the work of the Chamber of Commerce, a body representing a cross section of the community at large. Special mention was made of the excellent assistance given in the j getting out of the vote on the two major projects of the town, viz the hospital by-law and the sewage project. Secretary Leigh H. Snider present­ ed a general report on the activities of the Chamber. He explained that every person present represented some other phase apart from per­ sonal affairs.

He paid tribute to all Associations for their noble efforts during the year espec­ ially in assisting in ^he passing of the two very important by-laws of the town.

It probably pro­longed the depression considerably.Now it is hoped that Windsor’s present broaderoutlook will be shared elsewhere, everyone realiz­ing that an effort made to promote industry in any part of the country will benefit the country as a whole. Looking Back — In the — Files of The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario MUSIC OF MANY LANDSHEARD AT MUSIC CLUB THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1947 Only Good Orchards Are Good Enough For Qxford County Oxford County Fruit Growers have been warned by Randolph Webber, president of their Associa­ tion, that greater effort on their part must be made, if they would extend the markets for their products, chiefly apples. Competition is likely to be stiffer. That should not dishearten the growers. It should be welcome news, as it gives them a place in a vital industry, with an opportunity to show their mettle. We cannot fancy a pleasanter type of horticul­ ture than that of raising apples. To plant a tree and bring it to the point of bearing the luscious life-giving fruit—a thing of beauty and of a hun­ dred and one uses, should fill anyone with pride and satisfaction. To allow anything but the finest fruit to develop on that tree renders any one un­ worthy of the privilege of being a cultivator of the good earth. A well-tended orchard is of tremendous value to the country. It is a fruit-bearing woodlot and reflects the highest credit on its owner. A tremen­ dous amount of cultivation has been accomplished in Oxford County since the first forest clearing was made about one hundred and fifty years ago —not a long time in a country's history. It is one of the gardens of Canada. Its well-tilled fields and rolling pastures should be interspersed with the very finest of orchards—nothing but the best is good enough. 30 YEARS AGO Thursday, February 22nd, 1917 On Sunday next, Rev. D, W. Best, who has been supplying the pulpit of St. Paul’s Church during Rev. Ronald Macleod’s absence will preach his farewell sermon. During the months of his work in the church, Mr. Best has made many friends, along with Mrs. Best and their young daughter, Elizabeth. The prize winners at the fancy dress carnival held at the Maaon Arena on Thursday night were: Miss Bloomstock, Woodstock, best costume; Miss Robright, Woodstock, best lady skater; T. Dent, Woodstock, best gent costume; James Fergussun, Jr., Ingersoll and John Day of Embro, as “M^tt and Jeff”; Audrey Desmond, Ingersoll, smallest girl; Wilfrid Lindsay, smallest boy; George Moore, best costume. The marriage of Miss Jessie Vance, one of Ingersoll’s popular young ladies and W. T. Boyd of Grand Prairie, Alta., was celebrated on Satur­ day afternoon at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. James L. Vance. Rev. D. W. Best performed the cerenfony. James Day of Embro, was grooms­ man and Miss Margaret Vance, the bridqjgjaid. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd will reside in Alberta. Hogs and Automobiles “You can’t make a hog of a gentleman by giv­ ing him an automobile,” declares John Atkins. That is reasonable. A gentleman will be a gentle­ man whether he drives an automobile or not. His sense of sportsmanship being inbred, he will always have consideration for the rights and feelings of ’ others. But neither does an automobile make a gentleman of a hog. In fact, it seems to give any­ one so inclined, a fine opportunity to display his hoggishness. Greediness seems to be his motive power. He thinks the rights of the individual are centered in himelf. There might be traffic laws, bu> he considers himself exempt from them; there might be other people on the road, but he has right of way, by sheer power of his brute force. It might be the decent thing to dim the headlights when approaching another car, but the hog has ’ strong eyes and he can take a glare, so let the other fellow do the same, or suffer because of his pbor sight - - the hog doesn’t care. His sense of humor too, is typical of the pigstye. He finds keen amusement in approaching a stop­ line at a good clip and watching the harassed pedes­ trians’ uncertainty about whether he is going to stop or not.

B. Morley, general man­ ager of the Industrial Accident Prevention Asso­ ciations, expresses concern over “conditions of the world today and a general unwillingness to work, ^from presidents down to second assistant mechan­ ics* “helpers.” To improve conditions, Mr. Morley suggests that more consideration must be given to higher stand­ ards of thinking. He says, “My fear is that a continuation of what I sense as much of the cur­ rent thinking will result in a ‘kick in the pants’ for the' world generally, which, when adminis­ tered, will bring a lot of suffering.” Speaking of the alarming increase in industrial accidents as well as those outside industry during the past year, he asks, “Is it that people don’t care, are they selfish or is there some other mental quirk?” • Pointing out/that any general thinking, right or wrong, has a good or bad effect on accident experience, he says, “We in this work of accident prevention are seeking to control hazards, risks, injuries, all physical items which in turn lead to both physical anc mental disturbances.”Mr. Morley believes that if indusrialists would insist on safety i training, good work methods, thinking straight and setting a higher grade ex­ ample, much could be done to decrease the acci­ dent toll. He concludes, "It can be done but you do not get something for nothing, ever. Hard work and high thinking make a great combination.” A great many visitors attended the Mardi Gras Frolic and Hobby Fair in St. James’ Parish Hall. The affair was sponsored by the Anglican Young People’s Society. / -------------Mrs. Fred Story and daughter Irene were in Toronto this week where Mrs. Story attended the convention of the National Ladies’ Hair Dressers’ Association, held in the Royal York Hotel.

The regular meeting of the St, Paul's Young People’s Society on Monday evening, took the form of a Provincial Night Program. J. A. Turner, the president, occupied the chair.

Work Can Defeat A Depression Civic officials and National Employment Service Workers in Windsor are waging what is called “a battle to find work,” for the unemployed citi­ zens. Memories of the depression of the "thirties” are still fresh in their minds, and they recall its demoralizing influence, as well as its tremendous cost in money. Civic improvement projects are now suggested to provide work. Wisdom seems to be developing in Windsor which is a good thing even though it is dearly bought. During the depression, such worthwhile projects as street repairs, were not encouraged in the Bor­ der Cities. It was considered uneconomical to spend money outside the municipality on materials for the repairs. So self-respecting, able-bodied men, willing to work, were unwillingly reduced to ac­ cepting food vouchers for their families; and civic officials seemed to feel they were displaying econ­ omic wisdom, by keeping capable hands idle. It was a short-sighted policy, and one that was fol- The regular meeting of the Ingersoll Public Library Board was held on Friday evening. Through the passing of the treasurer, the late E. F.

So it is not surprising that with the appearance of rice, homemakers are writing to us for ways to use it. Some find the price high and want to know ways to use it wisely, others have thrown away prewar rice re­ cipes. Today, therefore, we refresh your memory with rice recipes for soup, main course or dessert. Rice is a starchy food which should be cooked in plenty of hot liquid quickly. To prevent rice forming a sticky mass during cooking, sprinkle rice slowly into rapidly boiling water. Cook without a cover keeping the food constantly boiling until rice is soff (about 40|mins,), then drain and pour a cup of cold water .through the rice in a sieve, and place in a partially covered dish in a warm place before serving. 3 tbsps. rice 1 tbsp, sugar 1 quart milk 1-2 tsp. salt 1-2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg Wash the rice thoroughly, add the other ingredients and pour into a greased baking-dish. Bake from one and one-half to two hours in electric oven (250 degs. to 300 degs.) stirr­ ing several times. The mixture should not boil. | This is the old-fashioned creamy Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 27, 1947Canadian Unity, Themeof Splendid Address (Continued from page 1) do not deny our priest* the liberty of giving us sdvice on temporal mat­ ters. but we claim that none of them has the right to treat us as heretics if we cannot see our way to follow their lead in those fields, and if we think it our duty to ask people to see things in a light different from that they are forcing on them. The priest is not only a minister of the church; he is also a citizen. That is why he is entitled to give his advice on purely temporal questions if he deems fit. Some of them knowing that the privilege cannot be denied to the ordinary layman to criticize political opinions, even when voiced by a clergyman, ‘ think it advisable for ministers of religion to keep clear of the hornets’ nests always hiding in the thorny bushes of every-day 4>olitics. This opinion seems to me wise enough. It is only my opinion. Nobody is obliged to share it, but a right on which we all agree, is that of a citizen to defend what he thinks to be the common interest, even when to his belief, the welfare of the people hag been compromised by the action, or the words, of a man to whom he will willingly submit in spiritual matterls. “Formerly we had an important group of French-Canadian leaders, who thought and preached that the destiny of our people was to remain exclusively a farming population. They thought that we were lacking the aptitudes necessary to succeed in trade and industry. Some of us, fortunately, were of the opinion that, provided we could secure the proper education and practical train­ ing. we could have in any sphere of human endeavour, an equal oppor­ tunity with anybody else, to make our way towards prosperity. In the last fifty years, it has been demon­ strated that the offspring oA-thc first pioneers of this country stay forever a pastoral j bee is now an industd fre not to >ple.

Let us hope that mod­ ern progress, by bettering rural liv- ' ing standards, will maintain or estab­ lish. the proper balance between the ‘ two large groups of our Canadian f population. St. Hyacinthe was one of t our first “St Hyacinthe was one of our! first industrial centres outside of t Montreal and Quebec and its first 1 important factories were founded ' more than three-quarters of a cen-? tury ago. Needless, to say the group 1 of our short-sighted leaders who e thought that we were forever to stay soil tillers, however noble this task , is, beheld an aspect of our educa­ tional and economic needs quite 1 different from the views entertainedr by those who realized that if we r wanted to keep in line with them we 1 would have to compete with our ? fellow citizens in every field of s practical activities. “If we were to stay a pastoral 1 nation eating the fruits of our land, : clothing ourselves with the wool of 5 our sheep, we did not need the con- 1 tacts that would be necessary with ’ the people living outside our villages ! and small towns, were we to become ’ a trading nation. Such a concept of 1 our mission on this continent tended to narrow the mind of anyone in- ' dined to .follow the lead of those ’ who thought sincerely that there was no future for us in trade and in­ dustry. On the question of language, fo.- instance, what need had we to know English if we were to sell our meat, our grain and our vegetables only to the near-by village merchant? As regards education, why have our childen study higher arithemtic, trig­ onometry, physics and chemistry to grow potatoes, milk the cows and feed the horses? "Fortunately there existed amongst French-Canadians an important ele­ ment of sound-minded men who thought otherwise and who gave an altogether different lead to those of us who believed in modern progress. Recent years have proven, to the great majority of my people that those were on the right track who stood for partial industrialization of the province of Quebec, and for giv­ ing the French-Canadian a more practical education. The fight for progress is now won in this field, but it does not mean that all the preju­ dices that have been bred by the partisans of the old order of things have altogether disappeared. Far from it. , “We have still a vocal group whose leaders are losing no opportunity to keep aflame the fires of disunity be­ tween English and French speaking Canadians. I do not say between Catholic and Protestant C^lfiadians because the question of religion seems to be at the bottom of this strife much less than the question of language. In the struggle, religion, very often, appears to be more a weapon than an objective. We have unfortunately to deplore a disunity between Irish and French Catholics nearly as overt as between English Protestants and Catholics. Is it the fact that the Irish by speaking Eng­ lish, stand as the living proof that a French-Canadian can speak your language without losing his faith, or i? it the fear that by the intercourse of the French speaking element with the Irish Catholics, the former will naturally learn, English, that have led our nationalists to foment this dis­ unity between two people of the same religion, but of a different tongue? I do not know-, but the sad situation is there; how often have I heard a youngster say: ‘He is not a Catholic, he is an Irishman’. “Believing that this disunity be­ tween races and creeds is one of the worse curses in my country, I have come to tell you that the French- i Canadians are far from being all of j the same pattern as those by whose • actions and w’ords you are most i liable to pass judgment on us, since they are more often heard here than our sane leaders who do not need to throw mud at others to attract the attention of their fellow citizens, and who are loath to create discord in our country’. “You mayjhave been led to believe by the exaggerations of our ultra­ nationalists that unity was impossible in this land of ours, and that in the far or near future, the dream of our reactionaries, the creation of an in­ dependent French and Catholic state on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, would be accomplished. Some of your eminent writers have even said that perhaps it would be better FURNITURE S. M. DOU WA ER PAINT & SONS King Street East that we should agree to suffer thispartition for the sake of nationalpeace in this country. It seemsstrange, at a time when nearly all nations of the world are striving to unite on some broad governmental lines to insure world security, that in our country we could find people seriously discussing the problem whether it would not be wise to undo what the fathers of our Confeder­ ation did to create a large self­ ruling country out of our formerly divided provinces, which were prac­ tically but Crown colonies. If some of the leaders of English thought in Canada have come to the conclusion that our isolationists and our separ­ atists really express the mind of the Canadans of French descent they have been misled by wrong inform­ ation. It is the duty of men who enjoy the confidence of their fellow­ citizens, -and of those who have accepted the responsibilities of public offices, to try to have those who have been misinformed by our sowers of hatred to revise their opinions. “For nearly forty years I have occupied an elective office ranging from municipal counsellor to minister of the Crown; I have been born in a French family and I have always lived in a French town where we never had a Protestant population reaching a total of three figures. This tends to prove that I know the real mind of my compatriots of French descent on the political status they prefer. I do not think, if the question of separating the Province of Quebec from our sister provinces of the Confederation, or Canada from the Commonwealth of British Nations, were submitW^to the Canadians of French descent and if they were left free to express their own opinions, that more than 10% of our adult population would vote in the affirmative. We are satisfied with our present political organization. The war cries you hear against Ottawa from Quebec and even from Toronto, though in a lower tone, are not directed at the constitution itself, but only at the government; it happens that the Federal ministers do not belong to the party of those of our two largest provinces. No wonder, then that there is not a complete accord on questions in which both classes of governments are involved. In the concert of political administra­ tion, rarely do both parties play their fiddles on the same chord. “I have been blamed for having spoken in favour of Canadian unity and having exposed, outside of Que­ bec, th«e of my province who were and ajR still working against good neighbourliness' between the English and French speaking population. I do not consider, as some of my ad­ versaries do, that I am not in my country when I speak in any English province of the Confederation. Can­ adian unity does not mean good neighbourliness only between Eng­ lish-speaking and French-speaking people of the Province of Quebec, but of all the provinces in Canada. I know that if we are seen in a bad light in some quarters of our English provinces, it is due to the acts and words of a small number of our sep­ aratists, and the only way to correct the false impression created against us is to detach the cause of our well­ thinking population from that of our isolationists who control but a small minority of the French-speaking element. "These adversaries pretend that I am not harsh enough on the English or Irish anti-French elements. I de­ plore all excessive and unjustified attack against the people of my province but I know very well that it is our narrow-minded and reac­ tionary minority leaders who have been one of the main causes of those unwarranted attacks on our whole population. I have to disassociate this group from the mass of my com­ patriots, and it cannot be done unless its ‘nefarious activities are exposed to the limelight of publicity. I know that the well-thinking part of the people of our English provinces will do the same with those of their folks who sow the seeds of animosity be- , tween the different races and beliefs in their country; the wise counsels coming from people of their own kin will have more chance to be heeded than the reproaches voiced by a man , of a different racial extraction. No sane Cafiadian would blame a man from Toronto coming to Quebec, who . said: ‘The bigotted ideas of Mr. So , and So from the Queen City are not . those of the great mass of the English , speaking Canadians'. But would you I tell me what reception would be given to the same speaker if he came i to Montreal to speak against any of - the avowed leaders of our French < separatist group? I “I am not engaged in the fight for 1 Canadian unity only to render lip- i service and be applauded by those i who, from either side, attend my let- I tures or read them. In all my life I I have been realistic as much as I ' could be. We have to face life 1 squarely and accept the facts as they are if we want them to become i what we sincerely think they should I be. It is easy to understand that i the work I am doing is far from being approved by those who are the overt or covert enemies of unity in thia country. That is the reason whyI have to expect attack* for everymove I will make in my campaign fora better understanding between all people of thia country.” The speaker cited instances to show the independent political spirit of the majority of his own fellow-townsmen, where the rights and welfare of the individual are jealously guarded. Continuing he stated: “True it is that the Canadians of French descent are not all of the mind of the majority of the popula­ tion of my city and that the influence of our isolationist leaders who have been ao vocal in War I and War II has been detrimental to national unity. They are still on the job to foment discord but perhaps for the first time in our history some of our broad-minded citizens have thought and decided to organize associations who will openly fight the battle for real unity in Canada. “The majority, the large majority, ♦f my compatriots understand that the only way to their real progress is good neighbourliness between us all. They know that it would be some kind of racial suicide if we were to stop our economical relations with the people of our English provinces. We need some of your capital to keep our factories in operation. Your capitalists and your captains of in­ dustry need our workers to operate their plants. We need a part of your trade to keep our industries alive; you want part of our consumers to sell your goods and wares. We are perfectly aware that the steam of the boilers of our factories is more useful to us than the one there is in the fermenting brain of our nar­ row nationalist agitators who preach separatism in this country. “For too long the broad-minded group of our men in authority have left these firebrands to battle alone; it was thought that nobody would be influenced by their preaching as they would not be taken seriously. Now we find they have harmed us out­ side our population by creating the false impression that we were all of their kin. They also have wronged the ideas of our youngsters on the question of Canadian unity. They do not seem to know what may be the outcome of tins campaign to raise to its paroxism the racial fervor in the soul of our young generation. Nar­ row-minded men are always short­ sighted; they cannot see in the dis­ tance. The inflamers of our youth do not realize that if we are a majority in our province that is far from being the case in the other parte of Canada. There are young men also in the English provinces; if some day they feel provoked by the untiring fanatical appeals of our separatists to race pride and religious preju­ dices, serious clashes may ensue in which our bigoted leaders would then find out that a majority in one province does not necessarily mean a majority in the whole country. “Time has come to counter-act openly the campaign leading us to strife when we should be joining our hands to bring forward the happy destiny of this great land of ours. “We will do our part in the prov­ ince of Quebec and we hope that the broad-minded English speaking popu­ lation of our other provinces will do their share to foster a better under­ standing among us all. One way of bringing this better understanding is to have a closer contact with our respective leaders. Byr)this contact we will have the opportunity of getting a saner view 1 lof the real mentality of our different groups of Canadians. Personally, believe that this mentality is sound, and that the perspective wre are shown of them by our agitators from both sections is far from being the reflection of the real mind of the majority' in every province. “As I have said previously we never had in Canada associations whose only aim wag to promote in a practical way good neighbourliness between our people of different race and creed. We have had local groups whose aims were to help the cause of good understanding between Eng­ lish and French in our two larger provinces; though their work consist­ ed mostly in lip-service, they also helped the cause by organizing the exchange of students during vacation time. A few girls and boys from Ontario were sent to Quebec for some weeks to learn French and some students from Quebec were Sent to Ontario to learn English. No doubt that this exchange of students has been beneficial to the few child­ ren who benefited by this organiza­ tion, but we must agree that this was but a few drops of water that could not change the course of the torrent of disunity. Our population ha* now reached the 12 million figure and it is not by having a few hundred pupils learning English and French that we can reach within a life-time, the state of good neighbourliness which is necessary in a large country like ours. “The goal of Canadian unity is so important, and the task of reaching it is so difficult, that the means to accomplish it have to be of a much wider scope than those we have found up-to-now to help this cause. A group of citizens favoring good un- derstanding between the two mainraces living in this country have de­cided to create two association* topromote by practical mean* the cause of unity between the different groups in Canada. One of them is L’Institut Democratique Canadien. Thi* society is composed exclusively of Canadian* of French descent who will work on the problems concerning^ not only Canadian unity but the free express­ ion of thought on temporal, or mixed, matters on the hustings and in the press. This is a problem which con­ cerns exclusively the Canadians of French descent and which ha* to be settled by themselves- That is the reason why this sister association is composed exclusively of members of French language. The other associa- ton is bilingual and has for its only aim Canadian unity. Both are of national scope, and though not join­ ed by legal bonds, are working par- allely on the question of unity. It is the intention of their directors to teach colloquial and formal English and French in the Province of Que­ bec, and formal French for cultural purposes in all the English provinces. This teaching will be made by a modern radio-phone-mail system and will be free. It is also our intention to promote an additional panel of education that would be non-confess- ional, and opened io all those who believe in this system of education. It is moreover proposed to build in Montreal, a bilingual and non-sectar- ian high-school, in which our children will be able to learn the best Eng­ lish and the best French. Our two associations will supply speakers of both languages who will be at the disposition of service-clubs and other associations desirous of having in any part of our country, lectures on questions related to Canadian unity. “We believe that the intercourse be­ tween our children of different lang­ uages living side by side, by the spreading of the French language in the English families and the English language in the French ones, by the sound words of those of different tongues who will speak on Canadian unity in our different provinces, we will come, at last, to this good neighbourliness which is so necessary in a country like ours.

You did know that I would speak on unity, and that unity was the short­ est way to the prosperity of the industrial centres and farming sect­ ions of this vast country.

IT'S EVER1 PvbIWwl In H» Public Intend Literally hundreds of enthusiastic skiers come from the States every year. Expert or novice, they really can have fun on Ontario’s ski trails. And we certainly want to make fax. sure|ney do! It works both ways! They treat us royally when we visit them ... we can’t do less than return the compliment. Remember that it costs money to take a holi­ day ... so let’s see they get a good return for every penny they spend. r WHAT C AN I DO? The answer is plenty! Here are some of the things anyone can do. The suggestions come from a well- known Ontario hotelman: 1. Know the places of interest and beauty spots in your district and tell people all about them. 2. When you write your friends in the States tell them of the places they wouldenjoy visiting. 3. Try to make any visitor glad he came. 4. Take time to give requested in­formation fully and graciously. 5. In business, remember Cana­ da’s reputation for courtesy and fairness depends on you. 6. To sum it all up, follow the "Golden Rule.” Worth his weight in gold! The Province of Ontarioprofited to almost the sameextent from tourist busi­ness as it did from the gold mining industry. It isup to each of us to see thatit goes on growing. We AU Share! Yes, every­one benefits from Ontario'stourist business. This dia­ gram shows it clearly. Asidefrom hospitality, it’s goodbusiness to make all ourvisitors from the United States feel at home. fTHE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB, 27, 1947 Page 7 3.

In the new 1947 Pontiac, now in production, all of Pontiac’s traditional quality, dependability, stamina, trouble-free operation, ease of handling and downright goodness have been retained. These are the qualities that have made more than a million friends of more than a million Pontiac owners. Added for 1947 are appearance changes to en­ hance Pontiac’s beauty; mechanical refinements Thames Street to uphold Pontiac’s known reputation for _ dependable, trouble-free performance. • For 1947, Pontiac again offers four outstanding series - the thrifty Fleetleader and Fleet leader Special lines, proud leaders in the low-priced field — and the Torpedo and Streamliner . . . long, luxurious, both of them built to house a smooth-running Six, or an economical Eight. Millions have learned to expect an outstanding value from Pontiac... and the 1947 Pontiac ful­ fills their expectations. The 1947 Pontiac is a fine car made finer.

Meadows, dis­ trict supervisor of wild life, has ad­ vised that rabbits in the county show what is known as seven year malady, which has reached epidemic propor­ tions. The animals have been report­ ed with lumps on the neck and white spots on the flesh, but the cause of this has not been determined. He ad­ vised caution' about eating rabbits. Care ehould be taken in Meahing to notice the flesh and especially the liver which should be clear in color. quarters. Listed are the names of children whose parents are missing and no relatives have been located. The Canadian Red Cross Enquiry Service has undertaken the difficult task of establishing contact between these children and any possible rela­ tives in Canada.The largest group on the list gives the names of 1,788 non-Jewish Pol­ ish children and the next largest is 1,088 Jewish Polish children. Most countries in Europe outside of Ger­ many are represented by these “lost” children. There are among them 296 who are recorded as being “stateless.” The list was sent to the Canadian Red Cross by the Child Tracing Branch of the Central Tracing Bur­ eau for Germany of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitatirfh Administration and it covers children now under the care of U.N.R.R.A. More lists will be forwarded from Germany to the Canadian Red Cross as checking is completed. The child­ ren range in age from four to their late teens.

Keeler &tone FUNE Woodituck _IngersollCOUNCIL OF STATE No Toll Charge ■ Zenith 47OO6 There has been much curiosity in Canada if the council of state, appointed to exercise regal functions during His Majecty King George Vi’s absence from Britain in South Africa, has any authority in respect to Canada and the answer has been given in Ottawa where it has been explained that the council of state has no jurisdiction in respect to Canada. On Jan. 17, the Governor General continues the explanation, informed the Canadian Prime Minis­ ter of the arrangements made for the council of state to act within the United Kingdom, adding that, throughout the tour, the King would continue to transact as usual any business submitted to him by his ministers in Canada. The action taken on the appointment of the council of state is provided for by the Regency Act, 1937, which en­ ables counsellors of state to be appointed to carry necessary royal functions during tb< King’s absence However, the Act has no application td Canada and the counsellors ~of stAte have no jurisdiction in respect of^Canada. REiA a L CONTROLS If the reader believes that “where there’s smoke there’s fire,” something may be in the making in regard, to rental control since all sqpta of re­ ports can be heard on Parliament Hill about contemplated or allegedly contemplated actions, though it ap­ pears now that the co-called “omni­ bus” measure aimed to continue some 55 Orders-in-Council on controls may not "freeze” rental controls. Evidently, rental ceilings will still be subject to change by order, it is interpreted here, so that this may be a hint of what may be forthcom­ ing.
