Webster, fieldman, reported on the year’s field work and also showed films on salt mining and remodelling of farm kitchens, the latter proving especially interesting to the many ladies present. In connection with the field work, the speaker stated that all testing done at the local plant had been quite satisfactory, and that testing of several local herds had been carried out as far as there was accommodation to do so, with good results. Four hundred head of cattle tfte on test, and the owner of any animal producing more than 700 lbs. of butterfat received a govern­ ment certificate. Frank Way, Ingersoll, president of the Provincial Association, ad­ dressed the meeting briefly, explain­ ing some of the work done, such as price stabilization. He stressed the need for further financial aid from the producers themselves, if the organization was to accomplish wnat they wish it to do—to advance the interests of the producers. As a re­ sult, it was unanimously decided to increase the deduction fron^gcal deliveries, to help put the association on a stronger basis. It was' moved by C. Swartz and seconded by W. Budd that: "The Beachville Concentrated Milk Pro­ ducers go on record as being aeainst the lifting of the ban on the impor­ tation, manufacture and sale of oleo­ margarine in this Dominion of Can­ ada, as we know that 307, of our population is engaged in dairying or farming. Also, any tendency to un­ dermine the position of the farmer any further, will be detrimental to all the people of this Dominion.” Copies of the resolution were to be sent to the Dominion Cabinet, the Senate, K. R. Daniel. M.P., for Oxford; The Dairy Farmer of Canada, and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. This was carried unanimously. Charles Milton, secretary of the Provincial Association, also spoke, urging the producers to improve their product in order to increase the markets He also advised all whocould, J to take advantage of the short bourses to be held at Queen’s University, The University of West­ ern Ontario and the Ontario Agricul­ tural College, December 29-Jan. 2.

Display of Modern Art At Public Library 'Many new names appear in the collection of work done by members of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, currently running at the Public Library. New features of art are presented, some, so new that the general public are slightly mystified when they first see them. However, further viewing reveals in some of them both beauty and origin­ ality. Amongst those not requiring any effort of understanding or apprecia­ tion are Fred H. Brigden’s “Septem­ ber Morning”, and Charles Gold- hamer’s “French Habitant”, as there is nothing concealed in either one. They are as pleasant to view as they must have been to create. Miss Jean Beattie’s creche, is also on display, and it has received a great deal of praise, both for the modelling and the attractive arrange­ ment.

It’s the story of British kiddies who learned about Santa Claus from a sailor on the boat which brought them to Canada a week ago. When the Copeland family of Weston, Ontario, tell their story to Canadian Cavakade listen­ ers they'll be thinking of last Christ- a date discussed “Father Christmas*'with a sailor crossing the Atlantic.“There may not be a Santa Claus inEngland, (ion, but there’s certainlyone in Canada'*, the sailor said. He’ll meet Canada’s Santa Claus for the first time this Christmas in a new home taken over by his family a few days after they arrived in Canada.

It is, to say the least, interesting. Not long ago I met a friend who asked me if I knew him. I said, “1 am not sure about that but I have met him once or twice." Said my friend: "He is a big fellow, writes darned well and looks like St. Paul." Now this was, I thought, a rather fine compliment, I wrote to Samuel and quoted the re­ mark of my friend. Promptly came back this note, “I am delighted to know that I look like St. Paul If I only knew what St. Paul looked like then I would know what 1 look like." I may return to his diary at a later date but I read one sentence last night with which I am not in accord: "If we wehe all robbed of our wrong convictions how empty our lives would be.” Nothing of the kind! Nature abhors a vacuum. Emp­ tied of our wrong convictions we would promptly fill our minds with right convictions. What a dreary prospect that would be. .To March­ banks it would be disaster. He is a journalist. Far back from distant ages there rolls into mind this little verse: “If streets were clean And skies were bright If men and politics were right And everything beneath the sun Exactly suited everyone Say wouldn’t that bring great distress To makers of the daily press Who couldn’t get a paper out With nothing left to kick about.” In the interest of Mr. Marchbanks and the world in general I hope we never get rid of our wrong convict­ ions, they are more interesting, more revealing, than our right ones.j * ♦ * This world is a pretty place. It’s going to be nicer some day. Re­ cently a number of scientists found a means by which they could inject poison into the blood of animals and the animals would not be injured in any way by these injections but it was sure death for lice, flies, bugs or any other thing which might try to feed on tfe» animals which had been so treated. They, the lice, 1 mean, died at once. This seems to be a small matter in itself but it is important. It would improve the health, contentment and happiness of animals and incidentally the happiness of mankind. Who is there born on a farm who doesn’t recall the sweeping movement of a cow’s tail as he sat on the milking stool. That is all over now, we use milking machines but think of the effort of the cow in keeping that tail going. There will be no future need for such effort. Give the cow an injection of 23Z4X, the insects wj« die, the cow will be happier, she v/il give more milk, the price of but­ ter will fali, the farmers will be annoyed and as a natural result they will vote for the C.C.F. Is it or is it not a nice world? I have been reading recently a copy of '“Freedom.” It is an opposi­ tion paper published in New Zealand. There they have a Labor goverh- ment. Yet even in these circumstan­ ces there are happenings of a rather unpleasant nature. For instance this item: Although you can give free samples of home made root beer'to friends, if you grow tobacco in your back yard you are liable to a fine if you make a gift of the leaf. How ever, there'Is nothing to stop a per­ son from growing for his own use. Funny isn’t it? It seems that quite lately at a place called Greymouth—the name is appropriate, a superannuittant—a good word—was fined twenty-five pounds for being in possession of of un-customed tobacco. Earlier a Nelson man was fined a hundred pounds for carrying on a business as a tobacco manufacturer without a license. They catch them both ways in New Zealand. I was glad when I read that item. It shows that no mat­ ter what government we have in power it becomes more and more in­ terested in the life and prosperity of the people, especially at election time and as everybody knows the more regulations there are and the more people are taxed and advised the happier they become!

Besides the attractive ap­ pearance of the books, the contents also give more pleasurable reading than usual. This is especially true of several of the new books now at the Public Library. The Owl Pen, an en­ tertaining story of life in the coun­ try near Orillia, written by Kenneth Wells and illustrated by his artist wife. Flashing Wings, by Richard Saunders, a naturalist well known in this part of the country; Birds of Brewery Creek, by Malcom MacDon­ ald, about the birds of Ottawa, charmingly written and superbly illustrated, and a third book for the nature lover, Canadian Spring, by Florence Jaques, the story of several months wandering in the prairie provinces. Biographies include one of John Buchan, written by his wife and friends; Houseboy in India, by Twan Yang and Every Month Was May, by Evelyn Eaton. Among the fiction several books,are outstanding. House Divided, the I Frederick E. Pellow, passed outsize novel by Ben Ames Williams, ’ which took twenty years of study and three years to write, a story of four generations through the civil war period. Deep Doorways, by Dorothy Dumbrille, the Canadian novelist and poet. This is a fine story of a pleasant and Christian family living near Brockville, during the period between the two world wars. In con­ trast is the story of two Toronto families dissected by Isabelle Hughes in The Serpent’s Tooth. The Garret­ son Chronicle, by Gerald Bruce, is winning great critical acclaim and is another family chronicle, this time with the setting in Boston. A modern Christmas Carol, which though not apt to replace the famous one by Dickens, is nevertheless a heart-warming story for this season, called Miracle on 34th Street, by Valentine Davies. Another book with sentiments appropriate to the time is Disturb Not Our Dreams, by Hobert Skidmore. Other books you will not want to miss are Came a Cavalier, by Fran­ ces Parkinson Keyes, The Best Plays of 1946-7, edited by Burns Mantle which includes The Iceman CAmeth, Joan of Lorraine, John Loves Mary and Brigadoon.

A meeting or two was held in this hall to which the ratepayers were invited as well as two High School Inspectors, Mr. Mills and Mr. Hoag. When a vote was taken on the ques­ tion of whether to proceed with the school the vote was close—about to 18, after which Dr. S. J. Morris suggested that the rest fall in line and make the vote unanimous. The two inspectors, Mr. Mills and Mr. Hoag chose the site of the school, after having examined the possible sites in the village. The members of the local Public School Board at the time were Mr. Frank Harris, Mr. Peter Young and Mr. Ed. Gilbert and we owe much to their efforts and foresight in foun­ ding secondary education here. Since Mr. Harris was on the school board and the inspectors had chosen the site on a corner of his farm, it seemed advisable to have a board of arbiters to arbitrate with Mr. Harris regarding the purchase price. The arbiters chosen were Mr. James Stoakley; councilman; Mr. B. Brink, Insurance Man, Woodstock. In the event of a death, a third nian was to be consulted but the former two successfully finished their job. Three acres of /and were purchased from Mr. Harns and two acres of land were purchased from a Mr. Baldwin, a former public school teacher. The school grounds consisted of a small wheat field and some very rough soil. The board paid $40.00 for the wheat destroyed and had to grade down the yard, particularly from the north where at least four feet of earth were moved to level the grounds. The next move was to advertise for tenders for the construction. Several tenders were received and the contract was awarded to Horton and Smith and a London architect supervised the work. The school was patterned after one at Ripley, near London and Mr. Frank Harris made a trip there to see their building, and also to learn how they managed their school. The cost was about $25,000 for which 25 year deben­ tures were issued. These debentures by the way, are now fully paid. The construction began about June, 1922 and was not ready until early November of that year. Much of the, first equipment was purchased from the Tillsonburg High School, notably the science room tables, etc. The teachers’ desks were purchased in Hamilton. The well which is a unique one, about 260 feet deep, was drilled by Mrt< B. McBeth. The heating system has ' never been changed since con­ struction. In 1923, the trees and shrubs of which we are quite proud, were purchased and planted at the front of the school. At first most of the students drove horses to school and had to leave them around the village in any empty stall that could be located. To fill this need the shed at the back was built about 1924, the work being done by -Mr, Peter Young and Mr. Wilbur Young. The stalls at least are reminders of the days when horses were still popular. When the idea of having a school of this type first arose, most opposi­ tion came from the idea that the cost would be a burden to the commun­ ity. In this regard Mr. John Morri­ son went to Toronto and personally interviewed the Minister of Educa­ tion, the late Mr. Howard Ferguson, and somehow seemed to obtain quite satisfactory grants, so much so that for several years the school was self supporting and I believe it can be agreed that it has never been a fin­ ancial burden to the ratepayers. Since the school was not ready in September, 1922, schoo} was held in the hall for about two months, un­ der a Miss Card. Other teachers in order of their tenure are Miss Bell, 'Miss Fluelling, Miss Calhoun, Miss Woolley, iMlss Hogg, Miss Steel, Miss Henderson, Mr. Belyea, Miss Turvey, Mr. Strachan, Miss Young, W. J. Hart and Mr. Pauli. Sixteen pupils attended the first year; thirteen the second year, and the attendance has increased gradu­ ally until this year 75 pupils were registered. This means that in its 25 years of service, 479 pupils have re­ ceived guidance and education which might have been impossible if the dreams and labors of those who pion­ eered secondary educaiton in Dere­ ham had failed. For several years the board con­ sisted of three men until 1944 and the men who served included Frank Harris, Ed. Gilbert, Peter Young, Robert Mitchell, Frank Phillips and David Vickerman. In 1944 the area A of Dereham was formed and a five man board wzs appointed to include Frank Phillips, A. Dickout, Joseph Poole, Ray Hunter, Austin Wilson and J. D. Flanders, secretary. Since then other men have served, A. I. Donald, Mr. Buchner and the new­ est member H. G. Jolliffe. In 1939, the idea of motor trans­ portation was growing, and Mr. Ir­ vine Prouse was hired to start a bus route. The first student picked up by bus was Miss Neva Hunsley of Dere­ ham Centre. The first year one bus was used and the route was 8 miles one way, or 16 miles a day. In >947, Mr. Prouse uses 3 busses to cover four routes—total daily mileage 150. If one puts that on a ■yearly basis, it is 18,500 miles which has been done without injury to a single pupil which is surely credit­ able. Since our school was built, it has had three janitors, Albert Hadcock, Irvine Young and John Batten. These men have all done excellent work as evidenced by the fine condi­ tion of our building at all times. The ' only major change in the building has been to move the science tables . back and place desks in the science room (obtained from Burgessville school), and some extra blackboards < in the room, and for the first time (add a third teacher to the staff. Over (the years changes in curriculum haveincluded the addition of music, agri- ' culture, vocational guidance, manual training and household science, to the courses available to the pupils. To sum up briefly, we are proud of the fact that this school has been able to serve the community for 25 years and is to have had a respon- , sible role in the life of the 479 pupils who have traversed its portals.

The presi­ dent, R. A. Jewett, presided and proposed the toast to the King. Bob Jewett rendered a violin solo, “Ave Maria”, very acceptably, with James Waring as acconfpanist. In his report covering the year’s activities, the president paid tribute to two deceased members, J. Groves and F. Earl Johnston, who passed away during the year. Byron Jenvey was mentioned for his splendid work as secretary and for giving much time and attention to the greens. Greenkeeper, J. Crosswell, received commendation fo^ the exceptionally fine condition of the greens, as well as for the beautiful appearance of the grounds in general. In conclus­ ion, Mr. Jewett thanked all the mem­ bers for their co.operation in mak­ ing the past year such a successful one. Both the secretary’s and treas­ urer’s reports, given by B. Jenvey and Gordon Daniels, indicated the excellent progress made by the club. Conveners of the various com­ mittees also submitted reports. The two outstanding tournaments of the 1947 season were The Tip Top Tail­ ors’ Doubles and R. M. Borrowman’s Golden Bantam Tournament, the lat­ ter played for the 25th season. Dr. A. S. Muterer read an address of appreciation, and on behalf of the club, presented H. S. Bowman with a silver Ronson lighter in apprecia­ tion of his many years of untiring effort as treasurer of the club, Mr. Bowman responded in his usual friendly manner. A. Warham and B. Jenvey were congratulated for their success in the Provincial Doubles Tournament, and T. Hutchison, J. Fleet, W. Ell­ ery, C. MacPhee, for winning the Wilson Trophy. Others who spoke briefly were: R. M. Borrowman, W. H. Sutherland, J. Crosswell, J. V. Buchanan, W. Ellery, A. Warham, C. Matheson, F. Garlick, A. Izzard, Dr. A. S. Muterer, G. Daniels. Altogether the meeting was marked by the same spirit of friend­ liness and good fellowship that had prevailed oi^the greens during the summer. It was remarked that mod­ esty was a characteristic of the mem­ bers, each one giving credit for his success to his partner and team­ mates. FORMER OXFORD M.L.A.

We have started on a long jour­ney, I hope it will be a delightwul trip. The world is tired of hate andstrife and bitterness, it seeks loveand peace and a touch of that kind­ ness of spirit which makes life worth living.In Canada we have much to bethankful for. What country in allthe world offers brighter prospects for the future? War seems far re­moved from these peaceful shores.We are blessed with good neighbors,and a great wealth of resources,what more do we need.We have our differences of opin­ion, our political disputes. Thesethings are the fruit of freedom, a proof of its existence. W’ho wants tolive in a country where there is nolonger freedom of opinion, no rightto criticise? There is joy in thefeeling that the things we do not likecan be changed, if only others canbe induced—not compelled, to seethe wisdom of our point of view.The recognition of the rights ofothers/ is a guarantee of our own.The nation is in our hands. There issomething magnificent in the ideathat we, the more than twelve mil­ lion who inhabit this country canmake it, in the end, what we thinkit ought to be.What do we need for that task?Tolerance, faith, courage. These are the things which must abide with usthroughout the years. These are thestaffs which will comfort us as we journey through life.Tolerance means respect for the other fellow’s point of view, evenwhen it is different from ours. Weare building a nation. The Britishpeople arei a mingling of many races.It will be so in Canada. Once on a train in the West I asked a manborn in the Ukraine if his people were itner-mairying with our people?A smile came over his face: “Mydaughter's name”, said he, “is Mrs.Sandy McPherson, my grandchild­ren are Canadians by birth, I am a Canadian by adoption.”We need faith in our country—faith in its resources, faith in itspeople, their traditions and capacityfor accomplishment. Of our couragethere can be no doubt. It has beenexpresited in a thousand ways. “Cour­age”, said Sir James Barrie, “is thelovely virture”. The war is over— let’s hope it’a over for a thousandyears so that we may now strengthenthese qualities of tolerance, faithad courage and use them for themaking of a better world, a greater Canada.

Deachman THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1947 Toys May Influence Character Eager little faces at;e pressed against the toy­ shop windows these days, in admiration of, and longing for, the wonderful playthings on display, all expressing the fervent hope that Santa Claus will bring some^of them. It used to be said that what the children of France took pleasure in making, the children of England took pleasure in breaking. In those days, child-labor did most of the work in manufacturing toys’ on the Continent, where the bulk of them were made. ' A glance at the toy department in any store now, shows that toy-making is not a child’s job any longer. Intricately constructed motor cars, trucks, jeeps, airplanes, etc., display almost as much skill in their making as do the larger tS’pes. They per­ form many of the same functions Little girls’ playthings show the same attention to detail that is given to those for boys. Dolls are individual objects with very little indication of any connection with an assembly line. Each one is the work of an artist who has only stopped short of giving breath and personality. Furnishings for dolls’ houses are complete in every detail, or nearly of All of this seems to indicate that the world of make-beliuje is passing, or has passed from the realm of childhood. A child learns early to ex­ pect things as they are, and to deal with them accordingly. Whether it is putting old heads on young shoulders is a question. But the natural consequence should be for them to develop into practical-minded grown-ups, well fitted for the task of leading the world out of chaos into a state of orderliness.

BORN ELLIS—At Alexandra Hospital on Saturday, Dec. 8th, to Mr. and Mrs Gordon Ellis, a son. V-------------The A.Y.P.A. held a very good meeting on Monday evening. The program was enjoyable, the numbers given being a vocal solo by Miss E. Leigh, accompanied by Mrs. E. Hill; reading, Miss Richens; vocal solo, C. W. Slater; a paper on “Germany’s Peace Proposals”, by C. W. Riley, Jr. An open discussiqn followed in which C. H. Foster and Rev. Mr. Perkins took part. In recent articles 1 have pointed out that there was a prospect of a substantial surplus this year, an excess of Federal Government re­ ceipts over Federal Government ex­ penditures. Then I asked this ques­ tion: If you were Minister of Fin­ ance and found yourself with a bil­ lion dollar surplus at tho end of the year what would you do with it. I put the same question before a group meeting at the YjM.C.A. in Ottawa. I have received a shower of re­ ponses, people are interested, they have definite views on this subject If my miniature Gallop Poll reflects public opinion, the Canadian people want to reduce the national debt lower taxes and after that there are other things, many of them, want to have and much they want done. National Health Service At various farm forums held recently, the topic "What Is New in Health?” was diccussed. The question might be asked, "is health new?” Is it not associated with one of the strongest human instincts, the instinct of self-preservation? It is as hold as humanity itself. But the newness lies in our njethods of maintaining health. These are alway^ changing to meet existing needs. Even primitive people followed certain health rules, which were adequate for the times; but which would not serve in the present day social order. The subject forms a timely, topic for dis­ cussion by rural and urban dwellers alike. It is noteworthy, that at five of nine meetings re­ ported in one district, the members went on record as favouring a national health plan. Four of them stressed the need for financial assistance to medical students and nurses-in-training. The latter point,, while somewhat irrelevant to the topic, is nevertheless an important ofte in itself. The way to be healthy is' to keep healthy. Pre­ ventive measures are of greater importance to the average person than are remedial measures, for they concern everyone, and in many cases can be applied by people themselves. The finest national health plan would be one that would encourage people to keep well, and to help others to do like­ wise. Free x-ray clinics are designed for that purpose and it has been a source of gratification on the part of the sponsors of the clinic held in IngersolLrecently, that so many availed themselvesof the Opportunity to have chest x-rays. It dis­ played a fine example of community co-operation and the democratic spirit. The Philathea Class of the Baptist Sunday School held its annual meeting on Thursday of last week, at the home of Mrs. Geo, Stephenson, Wellington street. The following officers were elected for the coming year: Teacher, Mrs. W. A. Elliott; assistant, Mrs. J. Edmonds; president, Mrs. E. Falconer; 1st vice-president, Mrs. F. Mallott; 2nd vice-resident, Mrs. J. Crabb; secretary, Mrs. T. Levitt; assistant secretary, Mrs. A. Moyer; treasurer, Mrs. Hughes. The annual organization meeting of the Hockey Club was held on Tuesday evening. There will be no junior and intermediate teams this year, those interested in both, deciding to have but one, a junior team. The officers are: Honorary Presi­ dents, C. C. L. Wilson, J. A. Coulter, R. B. Hutt, E. A. Wilson, Thomas Waterhouse, Mayor Bu­ chanan and Dr. R. A. Williams; President, S. A. Gibson; Vice-President, James Grieve; 1st Vice- President, I. Butler; 2nd Vice-President, Wm. Gemmell; Secretary-Treasurer, T. N. Dunn; Execu­ tive Committee, above officers and Geo. F. Janes R. Mayberry, C. A. Woolson, Dr. J. G. Murray and J. T. Fitzgerald. The colons of the team have been decilied upon as black /nd white. One man wanted to devise a scheme whereby young people could get married at a reasonably early age and be sure of a home within their means. Tough job! People have been trying to do that, for a long time. The trouble, in recent years, is that they want too many other things, Not all of them want houses. It's a good idea, let’s keep it in mind! An­ other suggested that we needed a change of heart, a willingness to consider the interests of others in­ stead of seeking always, our own ad­ vantage. I agree with him. He also wanted debts reduced and taxes lowered. I hope he lives to see his three desires become realities. It would bring a happier wiser world.Through these replies ran sug­ gestions that we ought to spend sub­ stantial sums on public works of a productive’character. Of course that isn’t a suitable suggestion for the moment. We have full employment now. To extend public works at this time would involve the transfer of workers from more productive em­ ployment, moving them into tasks which were less productive. Some saw this point and suggested that we should do this when, and if, employment falls off. One man suggested compulsory savings to mop up some of the money now spent on luxuries. That brings up a curious point. We are moreprosperous now, than we have everbeen before, Total salaries and sup-plementry labor income in li>46 was more than double the 1939 level. Even after allowing one-third off that level because of increases in the cost of living, we have vastly in­ creased spending capacity in com­ parison with any past period, but our desires are still beyond our means. All are anxious for more money to spend. I imagine that if we were to do what my friend suggests, establish compulsory savings, people would fight against it with tooth and claw, and, if not with claws with votes, for many feel as poor now as they did when they had half as much. I doubt if humanity will ever be satis­ fied purely by increased material prosperity. One man distributed his program over nearly all fields of efforts. He would give 50% of the hypothetical surplus to debt reduction, .30% to lower taxes, 10% for increased old age pensions and 10% to raise the salaries of civil servants. Bless their dear hearts, the civil servants are seldom out of the minds of the people of Ottawa and—the salaries and retiring allowances of the civil servants is as keen a subject of dis­ cussion as crop prospects among far­ mers. I like best the story which came from far away Alberta. He was a farmer but has now Retired: "Mr. Abbott”, he wrote, "is in the position of a farmer who finds that this income for the year is 50% above his requirements. What should he do with it? He should consider the prospects for the future. He should study how best to use his surplus so as to add to the prosperity of future years and in my humble opinion the best place for it would be in the improvement of his live stock, buildings and equipment, with the hope that this may help him to get better results out of his farm in future years. It may be that in this there is a basic idea for the Minister of Finance,” I sat and looked at the answers to my questions I read them again then I said to myself: "Canada is in the position of that farmer. We should look carefully over the whole field of effort with the object of improv­ ing methods, lowering costa andmaximizing production. When weaccomplish this purpose debts andtaxes will become less important. The burdens will be less because the backs that bear them will be stronger and with still larger na­ tional income the debt can be re­ duced. ■> Yes, the hearts of the people are sound. One man placed first on his program these simple words: "Feed Europe”. It’s a good idea but I am far from unkind when I make this statement: Better by far if we could put the people of Europe to work. The man who can devise a means of doing this will have conferred upon Europe a power of recovery far greater than can come from any Marshall plan. If you have a better idea on how the expected surplus should be spent—let me have it. Fame might come to you through finding wiser ways of spending a billion dollars.

Chatelaine magazine has released a report com­ piled by its Consumer Relations Department on material gathered by its Consumers’ Council re­ lating to the opinion of Canadian women in regard to housework in general, and to kitchen work in particular. From an article dealing with the sub­ ject in Financial Post, one gathers that the vast majority of Canadian women are leading disconten­ ted lives, Although it is probable that most of them have chosen to be homemakers, they seem to have a good many complaints about the job; feeling that it takes too long—five or six hours a day. Five or six hours a day, too long for any woman to spend on the most important job in the world! On the job in which she should excel, having been fitted for it byAnature, since the beginning of time. The job, which if jsell done, can bring more comfort and contentment to more people, than any other form of endeavour. Surely the women of Canada must have their gaze fixed in the wrong direction if they fail to find satisfaction in house­ work, which is in realityj homemaking. The woman who keep4 a well -run home for her family has no excuse Jfor developing an infer­ iority complex. She has reason to feel on an eqaulity with anyone. In housework, as in every­ thing else, one gets from the job, what they put into it- One must put interest into it, in order to get interest out. Then a woman will not stop to think whether she is giving too much time to home­ making. She is more likely) to find there is not enough time to attend to all details that contribute to a smoothly-run home. She is likely to forget all about the clock. The December meeting of the Victoria Mission­ ary Auxiliary of St. Paul’s Church, was recently held in the lecture room and largely attended.

Young, dearly beloved hus­ band of May J. Myers in his 67th year. An esteemed and well known resident of Ing­ ersoll passed away on Wednesday evening, Dec. 2nd, in the person of\Benjamin Russell, at the family residence, Carnegie street, in his 74th year. For many years he had been a valued em­ ployee of the John Morrow Co. Miss Monica Harris was the raison de’etre of many delightful social affairs previous to her mar­ riage on Monday afternoon last, among those en­ tertaining in her honor being Miss Estelle Crotty, Bell street, with a miscellaneous shower, some 20 guests being present; Mrs. Wm. J. Tune, Franicis street, a bridge; also a dinner party given in her honor at London. C A N ’T S H O W ’New High School Board Formed I) The Ingersoll Board’ of Education has passed from the scene in the life of the town, but thia does not medn that local interest in educational mat­ ters has lapsed. It is just another step forward in this regard; in keeping with the progressive spirit displayed by those who organized it in 1852, as one of the first school boards in the Province. New educational trends are changing rapidly and Ingersoll is keeping up to date in this respect. In place of the defunct Board, the Ingersoll High St. James’ Anglican Church was the setting for wedding of much interest on Monday afternoon, 14th inst., when Miss Monica Harris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Harris of "Elmhurst House”, became the bride of Mr. Edward Gilling, son of Mr. and Mrs Richard Gilling. Rev. Walter Gilling, brother of the groom, officiated, assisted by Rev. C. K. Masters, rector of the church. Mrs. Doris Bagnall Washington presided at the organ. During the class meeting Sunday afternoon of the Young Men’s Bible Class of St James’ Angli. can Church, the presentation of a pair of lovely silver candlesticks was made to iMr. Edward Gill­ ing, whose marriage took place on Monday after­ noon. The class teacher, Mr. Herbert Swallow, made the presentation and also voiced the best wishes *of the class members for a happily wedded life. CURES Hi S®LL IC (Fleischer & Jewett, Ltd.)

Janet Isgreatly surprised when Dr. Eynonsuggests building a wing onto Oakbartand taking out a mortgage to do It.She visits the hospital where she usedto work and haa a talk with Cliff. Sheasks him to drive out and have Sun­day dinner with them. Cliff drivesout. and after dinner the whole house­hold Is thrown Into an uproar by asimple-minded man with a rifle whohas just shot out a window-pane. “What are you shooting at, Wil­liam?” Abby called.“Pigeons,” he said, "pigeons—Irene said the snowstorm woulddrive them over here.”Janet gasped. . . . How cleverof Irene Gremont! The stormgave her an opportunity to makea nuisance of William. There were coveys of wild doves thatnestled around Oakhart, but theywould have sought shelter in theheavily blanketed, protectivebranches of evergreens edgingthe woodlands beyond the or­chard. “The pigeons have all gonehome, William, and you should,too," Abby suggested, but it hadlittle effect. “No, no, not until I get a bird.”Cliff turned to Janet, his darkeyes flashing with anger as hisbreath funneled mistily into theair: “How did he get hold of agun? He ought to be kept underlock and key.”“Is he — is he crazy?” Naomisaid. “No, just simple - minded —childish,” Janet explained hope­fully. William was waving the rifle around carelessly and Cliff sworein a deadly soft voice. “Yougirls had better go back to thehouse,” he said. “Let Richardand me handle this affair.” But Richard had made up his mind. He began walking stead­ily forward, in the ruts previous­ ly made by William’s boot's“Give me that gun, William."The big, awkward man beganbacking away, feeling behindhim with his feet for a steadyfoothold.“No, it’s mine! It’s mine!”His voice soared in a scream ofrage.”“I said to give it to me, Wil­liam.” Richard’s voice was steady,he was closer now, only twentyyards separated them. WilliamHartigan’s face was distortedlike a small, angry boy’s.: Hebackward, then suddenly he stumbled!The explosion was like a sul­len thunderclap in the still air. For a moment Richard stoodquite still, an expression of sur­ prise lighting his face, thenslowly like a tree that has feltthe last blow of the ax, he pitch-forward into the snow."Richard!” The anguished cry was wrungfrom Janet She began strug­gling through the new drifts,frantically staggering, trying toreach his side. Jhe others wereon her heels. William Hartigan, seeing them■11 converging on him at once,floundered to his feet and withgreat leaping strides, he ran back toward the kiver throughthe orchard. He bpd abandonedthe gun in the snow.“Richard! Richkrd, speak tome!” . Janet’s numbed fingersfumbled with his broad shouldersas Cliff reached- her side and helped him turn Richard over..He threw back the side of Rich­ard’s coat and felt around; whenhis fingers were withdrawn theywere dark-stained and crimson. The spot was beginning to spreadacross the white broadcloth ofRichard’s shirt. He moved slight­ly, half opened his eyes.“Janet, I want you to. . ." His head fell back as he faint­ed. Janet - moaned softly. Cliff’s'voice came to her indistinctly,then he was shaking her shoul­der sharply. “Listen to me,Janet, we’ll have to get him tothe house. Do you understand?”She nodded dumbly and he turn­ed to NaonxL “Run back as fast as you can and phone the hospi­tal for an ambulance immedi­ately." She left silently and he exam* ined Richard’s wound again. “Wewill have to risk it—Abby, youand Janet take his feet, I’ll car­ry his shoulders.” Naomi met them at the door,her face was white and frighten­ed in the flickering, unsteadylight of a candle. “I can’t getanyone, the phone is dead andthe lights are out—the storm must have knocked down thepower lines. I sent Mr. Miles tothe highway to stop some pass­ing car.” Janet watched Cliff’s lipstighten grimly. They carried Richard into theden. Cliff staunched the flow ofblood and put a sterile pad overRichard’s wound. He tried thetelephone and lights every few mHutes, but they remained deadThen he stationed himself by thewindow, straining his eyes intothe darkness for signs of a car.At last he tamped out his cig­ arette. "We can’t wait any long- 7y Catfwwi Dtc/wig “All right, Janet, 1’11 begin." er—we’ll have to put Richard inmy car and drive him in.”Janet felt drained of all herstrength. She stood by Richard’s side staring down into his uncon­scious, curiously peaceful face,feeling his pulse, watching his breathing become more labored.Naomi turned suddenly fromthe window. "There’s Mr. Miles!I see his flashlight coming up thedrive.” She and Cliff rushed to thefront door. The older man peeredup nt them ruefully, his mus­tache crusted with snow."Couldn’tfget hold of anyone-no cars passin’ an* the lines aredown all over.” “We’ll have to take my car then,” Cliff said, “there’s not aminute to lose—the wound’s in abad spot.”“You wouldn’t get threeblocks,” Mr. Miles protested.“The new snow has fixed theroad up good. There’s a coupleof stalled cars abandoned on thehighway now. You’d get stuckjust like them.” Cliff’s cigarette made a smallfiery arc as he flicked it out in­ to the snow. “It seems the dieis cast,” he said bitterly.Cliff came back into the den,glanced quickly at Richard’swhite face, then took Janet'shands in his. . . . “Janet, I’ll have to operate. Ihaven’t done many, as you know,and never one of this sort, butI’ll do the best I know how—wecan’t wait.”His eyes looked dark and, shethought, Uncertain, but they methers very directly.“I believe in you, Cliff.” His fingers tightened on hersfor one brief moment, then hedropped them and turned toRichard. When he spoke hisvoice was almost harsh. “Help me get his Coat off. Nao­mi, boil a pot of water and bringit into the laboratory.”She left without a murmur.They managed to life Richard to the white examination tablebut he was so tall that his longlegs hung over the end and Cliffhad to drag another small tableover to balance them.The kerosene lamps made thesmall sterile room seem alien toJanet. She went about her workautomatically, assembling theinstruments Cliff would need,lavins them on a clean towel. two others were voted into the Chap­ter, Four guests were welcomed tothe meeting.Following the conclusion of thebusiness session, the group enjoyeda Christmas program. The Education­al Convener, Mrs. J. Robbins, spokeon “Christmas in Other Countries".Mrs. H. Lindsey, guest speaker, tolda beautiful Christmas story. Themusical portion of the program in­cluded vocal solos by Bob Huttj withMrs. A. G. Murray as accompanist; piano duet by Mrs. P. T. Walker anddaughter, Miss Evelyn Walker; vocalsolo, Mrs. Harold Wilson, with Mrs.R. S. Foster as accompanist; vocalsolo, Mrs. A. G. Murray, with Mrs.Wilson as accompanist. All tookpart in a sing-song of Christmas Carols. Mrs. Wm. Hawkins extendeda vote of thanks to the guests on be­half of the Chapter.Refreshments were served by thehostess and her assistants, Mrs. L.Kestle, Mrs. P. Morgan, Mrs. A. Fort­ner and Mrs. E. Mills, with a spec­ ial Christmas treat provided by theexecutive. A pink elephant, a green rat and a polka-dotted snake walked into a cocktail bar. You’re a little early, boys, said the bartender.

He lay silent, unmoving,while his broad chest rose andfell steadily, blood welling from the wound with each breath.Under Cliff’s instruction Naomi dripped ether on a guaze maskand held it over Richard's face. “All right, Janet, I’ll begin.” Cliff’s tone was terse, profes­sional. Their eyes met brieflyas she handed him the probe. His fingers moved quickly,skillfully as she had seen himmove once before. But it was noteasy. He had difficulty locatingthe bullet. He had to work withcaution, the wound was danger­ously close to the left lung, oneslip, and— He had the power in his handsnow. Only Cliff knew exactlyhow dangerous the wound was.One slip of the scapel and Janetwould be released from the con­flicting emotions that had be­come a torment. He swore softly under hisbreath. She looked up, stared across at him—his forehead was beaded with a fine dew of perspiration! She smiled across at him, buthe seemed hardly aware of heridentity.“Hand me the flashlight," hesnapped at Naomi.He peered into the wound,probing, feeling, and then, sud­denly, like a pea Out of a pod, thebullet was out and lying in Cliff’sopen palm. But he didn’t pause. . . /. Only when sulpha had beenused, the wound cleaned and cksed, and dressed, did hestraighten up and mop the mois­ture from his forehead. He grinned at Janet.“As soon as the road’s openwe'll have someone from thehospital come' out and examinehim, but I think he’ll be allright.” She swallowed. "Oh, Cliff,you’ve been wonderful." “Never mind—he isn’t well yet.I'm glad there’s a fireplace inhis bedroom, we want to keep itat as even a temperature as pos­sible. Naomi, ask Mr. Miles to sec that there’s plenty of wood,will you?” She and Cliff got Richard intobed, then he turned to her. "Thishas'been a strain for you, Janet—why don’t you go into the kitch­en and get something to eat?”“No, Cliff, you go. Mrs. Mileshas some of her hot coffee onthe stove and there are lots of things in the icebox. Get Naomito fix something up for you. Please. ... I want to stay withRichard.”“You love him very much,don’t you?”She could only nod and turn away as her eyes filled withtears. Janet ahd Cliff took turns sit­ting beside Richard’s bed. Heseemed to be resting easily andwhile one watched, checking onhis pulse and respiration, theother stole a few momenta ofsleep in the adjoining den.It was still early in the eve­ning when Janet caught herself nodding in her chair; she wasstartled awake by Naomi's voicein the next room. It was highand annoyed—“Cliff. I think I should be be­side Richard now.”“Janet is his wife, Naomi."“You’d never know it I’venever seen any signs ot affectionbetween them.

NOVEMBER FIGURES HIGH Toronto—In November The Work­ men’s Compensation Board of On­ tario awarded $1,896,195.36 for compensation and medical aid. This is the highest figure for any one month since the Act came into effect nearly 33 years ago. The Board re­ ceived reports on 14,364 injuries of ■which 24 were fatal cases. Comment­ ing on these figures, R, B. Morley, general manager, Industrial Accident Prevention Associations, says that SAVEELECTRICITY •*I Facts to date show that consumption of electricity has been somewhat reduced by modified ration­ ing and voluntary savings. The Commission appreciates the effort of all consumers in this con­ nection. But results are still short of being enough. Electricity costs so little in this province that people have long been accustomed to using it lavishly. For example, your porch light left burning when not needed is wasting electricity. Ask yourself honestly: are you doing all yatt'ean to help relieve this situation? Electricity fs precious! Don’t waste it! Save it!

If you use pastry flour for baking powder biscuits, you may re­ quire 1 cup of milk to make a soft dough. , 4. The basic pastry dough recipe may be used for making tart shells.

TOURIST BUSINESS IS GOOD BUSINESS THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 18, 1947Accidents on FarmsCause Annual Loss Million Man-Days It ia often forgotten that farming is a hazardous occupation, and that the danger of accidents and fires ia greater than in most other industries. Until recently, no accurate figures were available on the number of accidents and fires on Canadian farms, but at the request of the Do­ minion Department of Agriculture, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, recently made a survey covering the period June, 1946, to June, 1947. Naturally not all the farmers throughout Canada could be inter­ viewed to obtain the information, but a sampling method was used which from past .statistical exper­ ience is known to give accurate results. Although the investigation covered a definite period, it is con­ sidered to be representative of any 12 month period. Because of cer­ tain practical difficulties in enum­ eration, fatal accidents are not in­ cluded. It is 'somewhat surprising to find thatthe loss of time from productive work, due to accidents to heads of farm households and all other per­ sons employed fully or partially around farms,, is probably in excess of one million man-days each year. The heads of households, who norm­ ally would be the farm operators, lose 600,000 mandays. During the any way y<o o k a t i t its more for the money.

ODELL & ALLEN Telephone 122 Ingersoll, Ont. 12 months under review 37,200 per­sons suffered from accidents and anumber of these were far from triv­ial. Over one-third of the accidents were severe enough to cause lay-offs from work of from one to three weeks, and 45 per cent necessitated absences of from three to ten weeks. Eight hundred heads of households, and 1,300 others were partially dis­ abled for life, and 400 heads* of households were permanently in­ capacitated. As might be expected the period of the year has a decided bearing on the occurrence of farm accidents: they were fewer in the three winter months of November, December and January. May was the highest month with 14 per cent of the annual acci­ dents, October had 10 per cent, Feb- bruary 9 per cent and the remaining six months averaged 8 per cent each. The accidental injury of persons of working age has more adverse effect on agricultural production than accidents which happen either to young or old persons. From the sur­ vey it is estimated that 31.5 per certt. of the accidents were to persons be­ tween the ages of 25 and 44, and 25.3 per cent to persons from 45 to 64 " years of age. The three age groups, under 14 years, 14 to 19 years, and 20 to 24 years, suffered 12.6 per cent of the accidents in each group, and persons of 65 and over, had 5.4 per cent of the accidents.
