Bower was elected chairman of the meeting and after a brief address, called on the several nom­ inees and the three* members of council who have another year to serve for their stand on municipal subjects. The members of council who have uncompleted terms are Thos. J. Morrison, JL V. .Healy and Russell Nunn. jr The first speaker called was J. Verne Buchanan who served as mayor in 1937. He voiced surprise at the apparent lack of interest of the electors when only a sparsely filled hall greeted the nominees for office , while such major projects were being undertaken as the sewer­ age contracts. Mr. Buchanan felt that the time was not opportune for this work and questioned the accur­ acy of the advertised cost at three cents per day. He prophesied that file project would cost over a mil­ lion dollars which would add 1? mills to the already high 45 mill tax rate. He did not criticize the mayor or council, as he felt they were merely following the mandate given them in the ballot to go ahead with the job. He advised the council of 1948 to use more discretion in the giving of grants and congratulated the 1947 council on the progress they have made. Thos. J. Morrison when called upon as a mayoralty nominee, thanked his sponsors, but stated he was inelegible for the office owing to his incumbency as a councillor, r- Mayor Chas. W. Riley in opening his address told of the reasons for a 45 mill tax rate in 1947. The Board of Education had asked for an extra $18,000 over the previous year and had later reduced that amount by $1500 which necessitated an addi­ tional 4 5/10 mills for educational purposes. In answering Mr. Buchanan's re­ marks, Regarding pre-election adver­ tising on the sewerage project, he pointed out that the council was not responsible for the propaganda as it had been left entirely to a citizens’ advisory committee. The vote gave a substantial majority and the council had followed the dictates of the voters. During the year a new truck had been purchased for the Board of Works and the fire equipment bad been improved, including an over­ haul of the pumper. The sale of debenture* at the proper time had made a substantial savings and was considered good business. The population of Ingersoll is now 6,140, an increase of 97 during the year and the total assessment has been raised by $112,348. He was quite sincere in his desire to give any information on municipal mat- (Continued on page i) Hardware Store Damaged By Fire Dorchsater—Fire believed to have started from a smouldering rubbish pile, caused an estimated $1,000 damage to hardware stock, and badly charred the interior of a storeroom and garage at the rear of K.

In opening his remarks Mr. Robbins stated that we are facing a dynamic expansion that has been proven very strongly by the great demand for hydro energy, a power dimout has been ordered in an effort to give the necessary power to all municipalities, because we are using 15% ition*i power than the system can generate. There are more people working in these days at higher wages than at any time during the year and an even greater expansion is expected.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27th, 1947 Weekly Newspaper To Be Filmed The important position held by weekly news­ papers in Canada is receiving recognition from the National Film Board, which plans to present soon, a film on the subject, the object being to emphasize the part played in community life by the paper as well as by the editor and staff. The film will 'show the life of a weekly newspaper beginning with acenes in a typical Canadian town as the news­ gathering reporters mingle with the people, glean­ ing items suitable for publication, on through the editorial channels, to the linotype operators, the proof-readers, printers and finally the readers. The film is likely to prove to be a revelation to a great many people who are inclined to treat their local paper somewhat as a joke, in a class with the village idiot; as something to provide amusement, but never to be taken seriously. A newspaper ought to be as important to its com­ munity as a cinema. It should be an elevating influence, providing food for thought, as well as holding a mirror before the people as it makes a record of their lives. It is sometimes read by people who have never seen the town which it represents; whose opinions of it are formed by what is reported in the press. People have been led to choose a community for residence, by the impression gained thereby. In many cases the weekly newspaper is the only link former residents have with the old home town. Bridging a gap of time and space, it carries them back to former scenes and days. Even the adver­ tisements bring fond recollections to some. It is no wonder then, that reporters are eager for news —that they even appear inquisitive, at times. However, in most cases the seeming inquisitiveness only applies to printable news. They are not con­ cerned with the private affairs of other people, and they shun slander and malicious gossip. They want their paper to be a record of the normal, healthy life of their community. That is the kind of newspaper the N.F.B. pro­ poses to present, and in order to do so, has chosen the Vernon News of British Columbia. It was decided that it would be wiser to have the whole process of newsgathering, recording and dissem­ ination concentrated on one paper, in one com­ munity, than to attempt to cover the story by leaping about the country from one paper to an­ other, which would result in a confusing hodge­ podge. ■ The film will be available to film councils and - libraries. Its release to theatres is being considered. Eventually, it will probably reach seventy coun­ tries, other than Canada and the United States, through N.F.B. foreign offices, Canada's embass­ ies, legations and trade commissioners’ offices. Thus the weekly newspaper and the people whose life-story it tells from week to week, are being recognized as a world wide influence. Looking Back— In the — Files of The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario 30 YEARS AGO Thursday, November 22nd 1917 PERSONALS Hilton McIntosh and Bailey MacMurray spent the week-end in London. Mrs. Gordon Paterson of Norwich, spent Sun­ day with her mother, Mrs. E. R. Hutt. John Thompson, Charles street, received num­ erous good wishes on his 89th birthday which he celebrated on Friday the 16th inst. Mrs. Joseph Janes sang solos in the Baptist Church in St. Marys on Sunday when that con­ gregation held anniversary services. Principal McNeil of the Woodstock Baptist College, conducted the services in the Baptist Church on Sunday. Rev. Joseph Janes was in Tillsonburg for the anniversary services there. BORN—HOUGHTON—In Ingersoll, on Thurs­ day, November 8th, to Mr. and Mrs. James Houghton, a daughter, Eleanor May. The Epworth League of the Methodist Church .held a very pleasant meeting on Monday evening, whn a very fine paper on "Perseverance”, was given by Miss Leola Sudworth. The Misses Laurie gave a piano duet and Miss Dora Hunter gave a solo. The chair was taken by Stanley Sheppard. Malcolm S. Schell a straight Laurier-Liberal, will oppose Donald Sutherland, Unionist candidate, for the riding of South Oxford, as a result of the nomination held in Ingersoll on Monday afternoon. J. V. Buchanan, mayor of Ingersoll, acted as chairman after Sheriff McGhee had declined the honor. Clearly a case of deliberate wholesalgstealing and incendiary, was the startling discovery of Mr. H. W. Clark, manager of the Northway Store, which was burned on the night of November 9th. Following a clue left by two men who visited the store the day previous and an offer of furs for sale in the Toronto district, led to the undoing of the fiends. So far only one man has been taken by the Toronto police, but five or six men and wo­ men are believed to be implicated. A very interesting debate was held on Monday evening in St. James’ Church lecture hall, the sub­ ject being "Resolved that the submarine is more effective in the present war than aircraft.’ ’ The ' affirmative was taken by W. H. Busk and C. W. Riley Jr., and' the negative by C. H. Foster and W. J. Carthew. After due consideration, the judges awarded the palm to the affirmative. Mus­ ical numbers were given by Miss Wood, Miss M. Lee and Bailey MacMurray. The regular meeting of the Young People’s So­ ciety of St. Paul’s Church was held on Monday evening. F. T.

We produce enormously of certain products, very little of others. If this be a problem there are two possible solutions. We might atop producing the commodi­ ties of which we now have a surplus and attempt to produce more of other products of which there is a scarce supply. The other remedy, the simple and natural one is to con­ tinue to export the products of which we have a surplus and to import other commodities which we find it difficult to produce or, which we' can produce only at greater cost. The "Western Producer” of Sas­ katoon, however, scraps all the in­ termediate problems. In a recent issue, is made this statement: "There is no reason why we in Canada should have to suffer simply because ave are prevented from sending our substance abroad.” There is a mis­ take in that sentence, it should have read: ‘send our surplus abroad’. It goes on to make this rather amazing suggestion: All we have to do is to re-cast the financial system so that it can function smoothly and dis­ tribute at home the abundance which we can produce but cannot export. We exported during the nine months ending September last >632 million of wood and paper products. How would we by any recast finan­ cial system distribute that surplus in Canada. The fact is that we didn’t need the stuff so we produced it and sold it to other countries bringing back other commodities in exchange. We exported agricultural and veget­ able products and animals and ani­ mal products abroad to a total of >734 million. The Canadian stomach has substantial capacity but we ven­ ture to suggest that it would puzzle even the Editor of the Western Pro­ ducer” to devise a means by which every man, woman, boy and girl, could swallow sixty dollars more of farm products of the kind produced in Canada than they now consume. There are some people who believe that modifications of our financial sy­ stem can solve every problem which worries the people of Canada. Thank heaven our minds are growing some­ what clearer, the world is beginning to realize that upon capacity to pro­ duce and to exchange depends our prosperity. No slight of hand artist can alter that situation. As we in­ crease production and distribution we increase wealth—we can thus raise our standard of living. When we solve it our material problem will be settled, without more production the world has a tough time ahead of it, very tough.

Ingersoll made rather a poor showing in remem­ bering its ‘heroes of two wars on Remembrance Day. Probably the weather had a good deal to do with the disappointingly small attendance of only three carloads at the Cenotaph service; also the distance to the cemetery and the fact that the preceding week-end had been full. None of which reasons should have been taken seriously if there 3vas a sincere desire to honour the dead. On hearing of the nearly one hundred per cent attendance of one Legion Branch at its Remem­ brance Day Service local comrades were moved to send a petition to headquarters, to be forwarded to the Dominion Parliament requesting that Re­ membrance Day be declared a statutory holiday, ■to be observed as a national day of mourning. The general feeling seems to be that a change is called for in connection with the day in Canada. Its observance should be unanimous and national in character. It is a question whether the eleventh of November is the most suitable time of the year for it, November weather is uncertain. More often than not, it is cold and wet People’s thoughts are likely to be occupied with fear of catching cold, more than with what is actually happening at an outdoor service. It has been suggested that Remembrance, Vic­ toria and Empire Days might all be merged as Remembrance Day. The month of May might provide a suitable date, for at that time flowers begin to be more plentiful and the weather more dependable. Certainly the present haphazard mode of honouring the memory of those to whom we owe so much, p not in keeping with the greatness to which we arpire. A pretty wedding took place at the Presbyterian manse in Embro, on Wednesday, November 14th, when Christina Katherine, daughter of Mr. Donald McCorquodale, town line, became the bride of Mathias Sutherland of Dorchester, son of Mr. and 'Mrs. Dan Sutherland. The ceremony was per­ formed by Rev. W. T. Lane. Frank McCorquodale brother of the bride, supported the groom, while Miss Mary Ann Sutherland, cousin of the bride, acted as bridesmaid. Aftcfr luncheon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Davis, Embro, the couple left by motor for Woodstock enroute for Mon­ treal. They 'will reside in Dorchester. — 11 YEARS AGO Thursday, November 26th, 1936 A new drug store is to be opened in Ingersoll on Saturday morning, November 28th, at 80 Thames street. The properietor of this new pharmacy is a popular Ingersoll young man in the person of Max L. Sumner, son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Sumner, Canterbury street. Mr. Sumner is a graduate this year of the University of Toronto and the Ontario College of Pharmacy. Members of the Board of Managers together with the nffnister of St. Paul’s Church, met on Tuesday evening to honour one of their members, Mr. George Ites, who is leaving Ingersoll shortly for Dixon, Ill. The meeting was presided over by Dr. E. J. Chisholm, An address was read to Mr. Ites by C. A. Love. On behalf of the Board of Managers, Dr. Chisholm presented Mr. Ites with a pen and pencil set. Improvement In Health Service Justifies Expense Estimates for the Oxford County and Ingersoll Health Unit call for an increased expenditure of 57% cents per capita, towards which'Ingersoll has been asked to contribute 2% cents per capita. There is no doubt about the improved service being rendered by the unit. A full-time Medical Health Officer, three inspectors and six nurses are on the alert to guard the health of the communities under care. Changed conditions in the County, with an in­ creased population, many of whom are industrial workers, together with the fact that a tremendous number of travellers pass through the county at all times, make it imperative that nothing should be neglected whereby the highest standards of public health might be maintained, and that the work of doing so should be in the hands of those well-qaulified for it. The increased cost reflects the improvement over the former method. Neighbours and friends to the numoer of about thirty-five gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred E. Kneale, King street east last week to honour them and their family, Ruth, June, James and Larry, previous to their departure from Ing­ ersoll for London. They were made the recipient* of a beautiful chime clock, the presentation being made by Mrs. O. C. Bailey,, while an address was read by Mrs. George Tribe. Members of the Evening Guild of St James’ Church held their annual meeting at the home of Margaret Arkell. The main item of business wm the election of officers for the coming year. Mrs. Wilson conducted this part of the program. The officers were be as follows: President, Mrs. H. D. Riseborough; first vice-president, Mrs. F. G. Rich; second vice-president, Mrs. F. N. Horton; secretary. Margaret Arkell; assisteant, Mrs. A. E. Izzard; treasurer, Mrs. V. Wilson; assistant, Mrs. H. Goodhand; press representative, Mrs. F. S. Newman; buying committee convener, Marjory Fuller. The hostess was assisted in serving refresh­ ment* by Mrs. H. Goodhand and Mrs. H. Smith. The Government at Ottawa may soon be rolling in wealth. Official returns for the first six months of the fiscal year indicate a surplus of $432 million. There is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip, but if that should be continued for the next half year we would have a record-breaking sur­ plus of $964 million. Declines in revenues were expect­ ed but fortunately expectations did not materialize, revenues have con­ tinued to grow and despite all the difficulties of dollar worries, exports for the first nine moQths of the year were phenomenally high. They stood for the nine months period ending September 1938 at $595 million, rose to $1,664 million in 1946 and in 1947 have reached a peak of $2,005 million. This is an indication of con­ tinuing prosperity. I don’t like dreaming about millions while worry­ ing at the same time about the ordin­ ary affairs of life but sometimes a little dreaming is a good thing.

Let us dream that this country has an actual surplus of one billion dollars for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1948. What should we do about it? Should we reduce taxes? Should we reduce the national debt? Should we spend a part of that in productive public works, irrigation in Western Canada, afforestation, dykes in the Maritimes to keep out the sea, a national highway, scien­ tific research, a wider search for minerals of all kinds—especially in the North? Well what would you do with it? Basing your decision on what you conceive to be the national interest tell me what you would do with a billion dollar surplus if you were Minister of Finance. I cannot guar­ antee that the Minister will accept your proposals but he might be in­ terested.

PAUL’S GUILD HELDELECTION OF OFFICERS NOMINATION MEETING(Continued from page 1) Miss Edith Brown, Reg.N., of Stratford, spent the week-end with Mrs. B. C. Edwards, Wellington street. Miss Brown has for the past 20 years, been associated with Chiss- amba Hospital, Angola, West Africa, under the auspices of the United Church of Canada, serving with Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Strangways, formerly of Simcoe, Ontario. Those who were privileged to meet Miss Brown during her stay in Inger­ soll, .were interested to hear of her experiences in the mission field where besides nursing she takes an active part in evangelistic work and in edu­ cating the natives in modern agri­ cultural methods. Miss Ann McDonald and Mrs. R. B. Hutt were Joint hoateaaes at the latter’s home on Tuesday evening for the meeting of the Guild of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Mark Simpson was the accompanist for the hymns of the devotional period. The Scripture, read by Mrs. Hutt, was followed by an interpreta­ tion by Mrs. K. Ford. The business meeting, conducted by the president. Miss Roberta Gil­ lies, included the making of plans for catering to a dinner next month.

Leo J. Ranger as a council nom­ inee commended the educational system in Ingersoll and felt that the teaching staff was of the best. He said he was a critic and took an in­ terest in the work of the council. He condemned the traffic delays at the C.N.R. crossing as unnecessary and was of the opinion that something could be done to minimize the delay especially at noon hours. The police were quite energetic in checking local motorists for parking in the business section, but no move was being made to stop the hazard at the railway crossing. He advocated the use of King street as a highway to London to eliminate some of the heavy traffic over the railways. Allan R. Horton, ,who is finishing his second year as a councillor, con­ sidered that good work has been accomplished by the council. The police department has been brought up-to-date, the town has joined with the county as a public health unit, a new hospital is planned, the sewer­ age of the town is in course of con­ struction and there is the possibility of a new Collegiate Institute and Vocational School. Mr. Horton de­ plored the lack of interest by electors as shown by the attendance. He asked that when the new council is elected that they be g^en support and not criticism from the street corners. Thomas J. Morrison outlined the work of his department and felt that progress had been made during the year. Russell Nunn explained the work­ ings of the Board of Works and promised to do his best to continue to give service during his tenure *of office. L. V. Healy as chairqmn of the Fire, Water and Light Committee in 1947, stated that the equipment had been brought up to date, and the sal­ aries of the fire chief and the men had been increased. Fred H. Wurker, chairman of the Police Committee, outlined the activ­ ities of the year. The provincial police had taken over in May and the people had co-operated in splen­ did manner. A traffic by-law had been brought up to date and an effort made to stop the nuisance of roving dogs. The committee will finish the year within their budget and he felt that every member of council did their best to serve well. George Preston in opening his re­ marks stated that he felt the sewer­ age system had been started at the wrong time when prices are high. Ingersoll had always had a clean health record and the Government had asked the municipalities refrain from going on a spending spree. He ; felt that all parts of the town wouldlot be serviced even though all must pay through general taxation. Candidates for the position of : Public School Trustees who spoke included E. J. Chisholm, C. A. Ackert, Walter Leaper, Jack Mor­ gan, Gordon Henry and Andrew Mc­ Kenzie. A general discussion of the sewer­ age project commenced with the question from the audience by Wal­ ter Leaper as to the accuracy of the statement that the complete town would not be serviced by the sewer­ age project. Engineer R. V. Anderson was called to the platform at the suggest­ ion of Mayor Riley and he outlined very completely the costs and pro­ gress of the work. In the course of the cross fire of questions, it was learned that 11.7 miles of the streets of the town were contracted for, approximately 25% of the total cost goes into the dis­ posal plant and pumping stations. There are some streets in outlying districts that are not planned for the service and the tax rate will be raised by 7 mills on all property commencing next year. For those homes where the service is in a sewer, rental will be charged in addition to the tax rate. Mayor Riley produced the man­ datory order of the provincial health department and quoted the wording on the ballot. No promise was made for any given number of streets to be serviced and no price mentioned. Just as the meeting was declared adjourned, Stewart Thurtell asked for time to address a few remarks. He spoke regarding the payment of poll tax. Single men were taxed yet had no franchise and he felt that legislation should be enacted which would collect from all single people including unmarried women. The meeting closed with the sing­ ing of the National Anthem.

(a) There are numerous farm organizations in each farm forum area and the members belong to one or more depend­ ing on his interests. (b) Women rarely attend nor have representation on the directorate except horticulture clubs and some Federation of Agriculture executives. (c) Young people do not attend organizations other than their Junior Farmers, men’s Institute Peoples. Junior Wo­ of Young It is unanimous that there must be appeal, by having top­ ics of interest, recreation and continuity of program. Nearly all Oxford Farmers now paying a membership to County Federation of Agriculture and as a result some of the Town­ ship wish to organize local Township Federations so as to nave a more equal representation on the County Directorate and to be advised on the doings of the parent body. It is expected that by the time this article goes to press one Township, Feder­ ation will be organized.

THE INGERSOLLPREVENT DISEASETO FARM ANIMALS Diseases which attack Canadian farm animals arise from three main causes- Many diseases such as tuber­ culosis and contagious abortion, are caused by invisible microbes or germs which may be transmitted from one animal to another. Some diseases are due to animal parasites, such as round worms, tapeworms, lice, flea^e and coccldia. The third are deficiency diseases which de­ velop when some of the essential substances such as minerals, or vit­ amins, are absent in the ration. Even though no actual deficiency disease may arise, an animal lacking these substances may become so poor in health that it will be suscept­ ible to other types of diseases. Prevention is better than cure. TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOV. 27, 1947Among the preventive measures,suitable buildings, good ventilation,and sanitary surroundings are im­ portant in maintaining health. In districts where mineral or vitamin deficiencies are known to exist, spe­ cial rations should be provided to avoid or overcome nutritional dis­ ease. If an infectious disease occurs, the suggested methods of control should be followed to limit and guard against the spread of infection through the herd or flock. Perhaps the most important preventive mea- ure is to avoid the introduction on healthy premises of animals from infected sources, or from herds or flocks whose health is unknown or uncertain. Mr. Smith—I understand your wife is a finished soprano. Mr. Jones—No, not yet, but the neighbors almost got her last night.

THIS BILLION-DOLLAR STORY Everywhere in Canada — in villages, towns, metro­ politan centres — you can find them. They are the people —1,500,000 strong — in every walk of life who are building their futures and doing their day-to- day financing by saving or borrowing at the Bank of Montreal. £very member of this B ofM family has a hand in building the resources of the Bank while he builds his own future. These resources, which amount to nearly two billion dollars, exist almost entirely because of the balances these people can show you in their B of M passbooks. •Bhis money does not stand idle , , . it works constantly for the building of the nation.

To citizens on salaries ... to farmers with seasonal incomes ... to merchants, manufacturers and businessmen a in every worthwhile line of endeavour ... to muni- cipalities, school boards and governments ... to churches, hospitals and all types of public institutions . . . hundreds of millions of dollars are being lent by B of M managers at more than 500 branches from the Atlantic to the Pacific. These millions of transactions add up to a billion-dollar story that makes interesting reading — not so much on account of the figures involved, but because of the human stories behind them. Here are the dollars that enable the Bank to make more than 500 personal loans every business day of the year to men and women who need money to meet emergencies and take advantage of opportunities. >r 130 years Canadians have put their trust in the B of M.

Imperial Bank Loans Higher Net Profit Up With assets at a new high of $415,081,511, ‘the report of the Imperial Bank of Canada shows net profits of $840,660 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1947. This is equal to $1.20 per share and com­ pares with net profits of $717,300, or $1.02 per share, in the previoua year. Deposits total $377,841,638, as compared with $372,747,838 at Oc­ tober 31st, 1946. The chief range in deposits has been a gain of $35,000,- 000 in interest-bearing deposits by the public which now total $247,- 295,099, while non-interest bearing deposits are down to $103,756,277 from $121,919,420. Holdings of coin, Bank of Canada notes, deposits in the Bank of Can­ ada and amounts due from other banks total $65,958,477, an increase of $3,019,000. Investment in govern­ ment and other securities is down to $163,843,100 from $215,610,953. This change results from the lessen­ ing need of short term financing by the Dominion Government as reflect­ ed in a drop in the bank’s holdings of Dominion of Canada securities maturing in less than two years. These holdings are down to $27,- 295,476 from $102,898,899, while investment in longer term Domin­ ion of Canada securities is up to $110,046,573 from $88,970,715. Substantial increase is shown in current loans which are up to an all- time peak of $160,053,598 from $105,688,527 with the increased tempo of commerce and industry throughout the country. Call loans are lower at $6,429,112 and provin­ cial and municipal loans are higher. See advertisement in this issue.

He was wearinghis raincoat over his tweeds and he was freshly shaved. “Some­thing has come tip,” he saidvaguely. "I’m driving into town —be back in a couple of hours.Get some rest and don’t worry—your Miss Hartigan has the chil­ dren under control.”“Don’t worry,” she thoughtwearily, "don’t worry, when you’re going in to see NaomiFarquahar.”^ Janet Eynon arose from herenforced rest feeling strongerand more able to accept thechallenge that five actively con­valescing children could issue.Even the knowledge that Rich­ard had heard from Naomi Far­quhar had not prevented herfrom sleeping. She had been toobone-weary for the incident to make a very deep impression.Now it seemed merely like astrangely unforgettable dream. She was more curious than up­set. What could Naomi wantwith Richard now? Even thoughshe had admired him, he was,after all, a married man.Unless— Could Richard have told herabout their marriage being onein name only? He had denied itthe day of their wedding, but hehad been in to town frequently since then, and since he had maintained his position at Cos­mopolitan for a month, .it was probable that he had seen Naomioften. After all, she, Janet, hadfelt it incumbent to inform Cliff Bronson. She found herself thinking ofCliff more and more. Wonder­ ing how his work was progress­ing, how he was taking her ab­sence. Through Richard she might be having a bad psycnol-ological effect on him. "If it’s what I think, there are only three doctors in the coun­ try who have performed the op­eration, but fortunately Rod­ney’s parents can afford the best.”"Is that why you went intotown yesterday?”“That and other reasons. Why?”“I thought you might havegone in to see Naomi Farquhar.” His laugh sounded guilty. "Did I marry a psychic?”"Abigail brought me the mailfirst—I couldn’t help but see Naomi’s letter to you.”"Oh. Well . . he hesitated. "Naomi’s coming out here to work.”“Work? How?” "She’s majored in child psy­ chology for three years in col­lege. She’s anxious to keep upher work this summer, so I ask­ ed her to come out in the morn­ings and take over the children’slessons. She’s very good at it— had excellent grades in college. “That’s nice." Janet’s mouthwas dry. “Was thi^our idea orhers, Richard?"“We—11, I believe she sug­ gested it, but I wish I had. Itwill relieve you of so much—andI n**ed you in here with me.” "But we have Abby now." "I know, and we also have three more applications for chil­dren—they came in this morn­ing’s mail.” "Can we afford Naomi?”Can I afford Naomi? shethought. Won’t Richard’s inter­ est in her revive—if it has everweakened?"That’s the best part, she justwants the practice, not money.”There was nothing more shecould say. She had no valid rea­ son for resenting Naomi. Mostof her fears were based on gos­sip, some of it supplied by CliffBronson. Janet was assisting Richardin the laboratory the next morn­ing when Naomi arrived. The gleaming yellow roadsterslid to a stop before Oakhart and Naomi’s beautifully manicuredhand came down on the musicalhorn, which responded with ashort tune. It caused great ex­citement in the playroom andmade Richard laugh. He hasten- 1’m so anxious to meet them and get started."Don’t you want to see Oak­hart first?”*'Of course, but I don’t wantto take you from your work." His face glowed. “Nonsense,we must get oriented. I don’twant you getting lost around here. Come along.”Janet felt her own color ris­ing. "Richard, I thought you were going to re-examine Rod­ney Becker.”“I can do that just as well thisafternoon, Janet; there’s no hur­ ry. If you’ll just check overthose smears, I’ll show Naomi around.” His eyes did not meet hers;he turned to Naomi with astrange and enigmatic smile. "Come on, Teacher, I’ll showyou what your new domain looks afternoon when Janet andRichard joined her in the swim­ming pool, she smiled as though suppressing some wonderful se­cret, then suddenly burst outwith, "I have a surprise for you! ” “What now?” Richard laugh­ed. "I’m not returning to college!” Even Richard looked stunned. "But Naomi, your work—yourcareer!” “This gives me more practical experience than I could ever getin college. I’ll finish the oldcourse later—I’m only nineteen, I’ve got loads of time yet.”She stood up suddenly andthrew her arms around his neck. “Isn’t it marvelous, Richard?"He disengaged her hands gen­tly, not looking at Janet. "That’s an understatement,** he said.Indian summer merged intoautumn without a break in theweather. The usual November rains held off and now sharpnightly frosts covered the groundwith a fine webbing that glitteredlike tinseLDeciduous leaves had longsince fallen leaving the orchard gaunt and bare limbed againsta frozen blue sky. Richard wasconsidering damming the small pond so that the still water mightfreeze and afford them a shallowpool for ice skating. He had worked hard to makeOakhart a success, Janet ad­mitted.

MURRAY GERMATT PASSES IN HOSPITAL William Murray German, well known and highly esteemed resident of West Zorra passed away at the Alexandra Hospital, Ingersoll on Friday, November 21st. He had been in failing health for some time and seriously ill for the past 6 weeks. He was in his 91st year and was the eldest son of the late Levi German and Georgina Murray. He was born in West Oxford but spent the greater part of his life in West Zorra where he farmed and did threshing for over 50 years at Lot 1, Concession 6. He retired about 12 years ago and had since resided with his daughter, Mrs. William Earle on the same farm. His wife, Mercy Karn, predeceased him in 1928. He was a member of the Beachville Baptist Church. Hej is survived by four sons,Wesley, West Zorra; Leigh, Dere- hamf Melbourne, Beachville and Douglas of Guelph; three daughters, Mrs. Charles Brink, (Bessie), Wood- stock; Mrs. William Earle, (Jean), West Zorra; and Miss Janet Ger­ man, Woodstock; nine grandchildren and eleven great-grandchidren; also six brothers, Peter, California; George, James and Robert in the Canadian West; John and Fred in Beachville; one sister, Nettie, Mrs. Beachville; one sister, Mrs. Suther­ land, (Nettie), Kirkwood, New Jersey. The funeral was held on Sunday from the Keeler and Johnstone Fun­ eral Home, where service was con­ ducted at 2.30 p.m., by Rev. Martin Brown, pastor of Beachville Baptist Church. There was a large attend- -ance and many beautiful floral trib­ utes bearing testimony to the high esteem in which deceased was held. The pallbearers who also acted as flower bearers were two sons of the deceased, Leigh and Wesley German, also four grandsons, Angus German, Blair Earle, Charles Dawes and Bert Huggins. Interment was made in the Beachville Cemetery. AVON Mrs. Chas. Gilbertapent a few days in LonMiss Laurel Howe spent the week-end at]the village.

CliflH larent (Mrs. jld Johnson andt spent Sundaykirents, Mr. and A brilliant performance rewarded the large audience who attended the third concert of the Department of Education series at St. James’ Parish Hall, Ingersoll, on Thursday evening of last week. The artists were Yvonne Guiguet, pianist; Lois Ogilvie, violinist and soprano; Glenn Gardiner, baritone, and Dirk Keet- baas, flutist Miss Ogilvie, Miss Guiguet and Mr. Keetbaas combined their talents to give a charming beginning to the programme in the number ”Lo! Hear the Gentle Lark’’, (Bishop). Mr. Keetbaas’ clear, delicate tones and Miss Ogilvie’s warm bright soprano, complemented each other with happy effect both in this num­ ber and later in Weber’s gay Invita­ tion to the Dance and in a lively Hungarian Dance by Brahms. The flute is not often used as a solo instrument and its distinctive qualities, as revealed in Mr. Keet- bass’ playing, added a special attraction to the programme. They gave new interest to the old favour­ ite, “Humoresque", (Dvorak). The most outstanding ntrmber was the Concertina by Chaminade, which Mr. Keetbaas performed with amaz­ ing brilliance of technique, lightfully seductive effect achieved in Ravel’s Habanera with its enticing Spanish rhythm estab­ lished by the piano accompaniment. The audience was particularly grateful to Mr. Gardiner for sing­ ing in English. Not only his choice of language, but also his clarity of diction and exact production of vowel sounds made every syllable intelligible and meaningful. This greatly enhanced the beauty of both The Vagabond, and Trade Winds, set to music by Ralph Vaughan-Wil­ liams and Frederick Keel respect­ ively. Mr. Gardiner’s dramatic inter­ pretation also added interest to his numbers. It was perhaps most effect­ ive in the amusing Irish Folk Song, "The Garden Where the Praties Grow.” The artists were ably supported by Miss Guiguet’s accompaniment on the piano, which always contributed to the solo and never intruded on it At the same time, Miss Guiguet showed herself to be a distinctive soloist in her own right Her com­ manding technical skill and fine, con­ trolled shading sustained interest in all of her numbers. She played first a Chopin group, Scherze (opus 31), and Waltz (opus 64, No. 2); and in the second half of the programme Intermezzo (Brahms), and Caprice in B Flat (Scarlatti.) Miss Ogilvie showed herself to be an accomplished musician and a ver­ satile one. For the concluding group on the excellent and varied program she played four violin numbers, in which her true intonation and sensi­ tive melodic phrasing were particu­ larly noteworthy. was PUTNAM This community wishes to extenddeepest sympathy to the Loveli fam­ ily in their recent loss of a lovingwife and mother.

Highlight of the evening was the entertainment presented by Ever­ ette Mires, of London, who held the attention of the audience as he pro­ duced doves from thin air, rabbits from hats, white rats from a bottle of pop and performed many other woftders that far from rendering the young fry speechless, brought forth shouts of amazement and applause.

Unique among bank statements, the report, which covers the 130th year of the B of M’s career, can be read with complete understanding by everyone. In the explanation of “the facts behind the figures”, the bank empha­ sizes that money deposited does not lie idle, but works constantly for the building of the nation. “Here is the money that makes the wheels of commerce turn,” the re­ port points out “Here is the money that helps the farmer garner his crops . . . that helps the lumberman buy equipment and pay his men. Here are the dollars that enable the bank to make more than 500 per­ sonal loans every business day of the year to men and women who need money to meet emergencies and take advantage of opportunities.” The statement is also brightened considerably by the addition of little thumbnail sketches throughout, and the use of simple, everyday language in place of the more formal financial terms usually found in bank reports. For example, bank assets are re­ ferred to as “What the B of M Has to Meet its Obligations”, while liabilities are simply “What the B Wife—Tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of our wedding. Shall I kill the turkey? Husband—Why, what did he have to do with it?
