U.8.A., I2.S—0 Mayor’s Inaugural Address Predicts Industrial Expansion Mayor Riley in his Inaugural address on Monday evening looks toward 1948 with a note of optim­ ism. The address in full follows: January, 1948 To the Members of Council and Citizens of Ingersoll: In presenting my inaugural ad­ dress I feel my first expression should be of grateful appreciation to the electors in recognition of the fact that I was re-elected by acclam­ ation ^nd a fourth consecutive term. The honour that has been confer­ red upon me is one that must be valued highly and while I accept it as such, I also wish to share the hon­ our to no small degree with the council of 1947.The personnel of the 1948 council shows only two changes over that of 1947, the new members being Coun­ cillor Ranger and Councillor Frank H. Kerr, to whom I have the pleasure of extending a cordial welcome. i wish to assure them it will b3 a I pleasure for me as I believe it also will be for the other members to accord them all possible assistance. The council of the past year had much of more than usual importance to engage their attention and the greatest of the new projects bein> the sewerage system and sewerage treatment plant. Although consider­ able progreses has been made with both these undertakings, they are still far from completion and the council will of necessity, share the responsibility before that stage is reached. While the progress of the past year has been pronounced, we must continue to look into the future and be ever vigilant of the town’s welfare.Ingersoll’s interests must be care­ fully guarded, not only in the mat­ ter of present projects, but by pre­ paring for future development. Com­ pletion of our sewerage system and sewerage disposal plant should en­ hance the town’s opportunities of ob­ taining new industries and no stone should be left unturned in this con­ nection. , The council should feel ready at all times to accept responsibility in compliance with the wishes of our citizens in respect to their conven­ ience, happiness and prosperity which will naturally increase as the town grows. Our growth in popula­ tion of 100 over 1946, which now stands at 6,140, is most encourag­ ing and it goes without saying that with industrial activities stabilized as they are here, a much greater in­ crease would be possible, were we in a position to offer the desired hous­ ing accommodation. What Ingersoll really needs for continued prosper­ ity and happiness are more houses, more smoke stacks and more babies. As a council, let us ever keep this motto before us to serve the electors to the best of our ability with the object of making Ingersoll a better place in which to live.In conclusion, I wish to express to the members of the council and all citizens of Ingersoll, my most sin­ cere New Year’s greetings, coupled with the hope that at the end of 1948, we will find we have had the most successful year in our town’s history.C. W. RILEY. Mayor. Tillsooburg Choir Made Presentation To Mrs. E. Gilling Mrs. Edward Gilling of Elmhurst House, Ingersoll, who for the last five Sundays of 1947, acted as organist and choirleader at St. Paul’s United Church, Tillsonburg, was pre­ sented with a beautiful cup and saucer at a social hour held by the choir on Sunday, December 28th, following; the vesper service. Mrs. Barbara Fergusson made the presen­ tation on behalf of the choir mem­ bers. At the Sunday service, the pas­ tor of the church, Rev. W. L. David­ son, thanked Mrs. Gilling for her assistance during the period between the departure of G. Strickland Thompson, who came to St. James’ Church, Ingersoll, and the arrival of the new organist, Luther Jackson of London. No Serious Damage Results From Storm Athough neighbouring districts felt the full force of the storm on New Year’s Day, Ingersoll Reaped any serious consequences. Motorists coming from the East remarked on the high velocity of the wind. One driver, whose occupation has taken him out in all weather, stated that last week’s wind was the worst he had ever encountered and that it was at its worst between Brantford and Woodstock. The Ingersoll Public Utilities Commission service was not serious­ ly interrupted, only two circuits being broken and they were quickly repaired. Damage done to the Inger­ soll Telephone Company lines, also was slight. The fact that there were compar­ atively few automobiles on the roads probably accounted for the absence of accidents, as motorists, being re­ minded of the recent storm in New York, soon sought shelter. A car driven ‘along the River Road, where ice added to the hazard, was caught in a gust of wind and completely spun around twice, with­ out being overturned. In this case the steady hand at the wheel was that of a woman. A few awnings on storefronts along Thames street, suffered from the wind. Snow was heavy on the streets for a day, but the Public- Works Department had them cleared by Saturday. On the whole, once more this community had reason to consider its good fortune in having escaped the more serious damage of some parts of the country. to Ingersoll Lawyer on New Years Honors List Congratulations are extended Warwick Russell Marshall of the legal firm of Start and Marshall, who was amongst those to be hon­ ored with the appointment of King’s Councillor, on the list of honors be­ stowed by His Majesty King George VI, at New Years. •Mr. Marshall began the practice of law in Ingersoll in 1933 and has practised here continuously since that time, with the exception «* three years spent in the armyCanada and overseas.

THURSDAY, JAN. 8th, 1948 Jails Are Only For Criminals From Woodstock comes a news despatch of two brothers from Nova Scotia, who, out of work, and in order to remain to-gether, had chosen to be charged wtih vagrancy, even though it might have meant spending New Yeaffs in jail. The situation whidh might easily have had unfortunate conse­ quences, had the parties concerned not been honest men, appears to have arisen from the annual stock­ taking lay-off in industry. They are reported to have tried to get work at local factories, but were told to wait till the first of the year. They had come from Nova Scotia, probably with other work­ ers who have come from there during recent months, to relieve the labor shortage in this part of the country. It is probable that not having been here long, they had not been financially prepared for a lay­ off. It is to their credit that they did not resort to crime, as is often done under similar circum­ stances. It is also fortunate that in the Crown Attorney, the County Magistrate and in Wood­ stock’s Chief Constable,'gs well as the Salvation Army and the Y.M.C.A., there were those who ready to lend a helping hand, found employment for each of the young men. It would have been a pity if Ontario could not have offered anything better than jail to those who came here to work. This is a reminder that employers, shop superin­ tendents and foremen can render a community service by bringing deserving cases to the notice of social service agencies prepared to deal with them.

UNITED KINGDOM FIRMS TO EXHIBIT IN CANAD home onn with herobby OgdenHamilton onhaving spentton.n spent Newd Mrs. Ronald Supply and Demand Defies Russian Dictators When Russian workers rubbed their eyes and crawled out of bed to begin their 54-hour work week, on a recent Monday, they found the govern­ ment had picked their pockets of nine of every ten rubles they had when they went to bed. Even their bank accounts of over three thousand rubles, a very small sum in real value, had been by one- third or one-half according to their size. Food rationing and price controls had been abandoned. In future Russian workers, whose food and clothing prices are three to five times as high as ours, will try to get enough to keep them alive out of wages equal to a third or a fifth of Can­ adian wages. It is unlikely that the enormous, lightly-taxed incomes of the overlords, and the pets of the Politburo, will be too little to main­ tain them in the luxury to which they have be­ come accustomed. The fact is that Russian controls have failed. Not even the secret police, the N.K.V.D., with all its cruelty, terrqff*, separation of families, labor camps and irresponsible secrecy, could keep rationing and prices under effective control. The greatest experiment in state control of personal effort, prices, and pay, has failed to pro­ duce either equity or well-being. Personal incen­ tives and automatic rewards continue to be the only means of stimulating man to produce abun­ dantly. The law of supply and demand which is personal need and personal choice in action, 'de­ fies dictators and thwarts the efforts of police to enforce its suspension.—(John Atkins.)

Good Prospect of Work For All “Economic Probs” is what the Financial Post terms a forecast on prospects for 1948. Experts in various lines of business attempt to forsee the economic picture taking into consideration the many circumstances that ; combine to form the whole. There may be diversity of news in some respects, but all concur on one point; on the need for increased production. .During recent years, our sense of values has become somewhat distorted and money has reached a position in our esteem which it really should not occupy. Even in the practical, matter-of-fact realm of business its importance has become dis­ torted beyond reason. Money is not business. It is merely its token. It belongs to one person to-day; to another to- to-morrowA No amount of it circulating through the country cap bring comfort or prosperity, un­ less it can procure the means of sustenance for people. So in the long run, the direction of the 'economic wind will be determined by those who do the producing. They can either make or mar their own and the country’s prosperity. Mr. Thos. Gibson of Toronto, spent Monday and New Year’s Day at his parents’ home. Mrs. Charles Miller and daughter Grace, will leave next week for Southern California, for the winter months. Mr. W. A. Sudworth and children and Mrs. Dodge left oh Friday to visit with relatives near Oshawa. . Mr. Thos. Seldon has returned home from his trip to the Old County. He reports his sale of turkeys very favorable. Ralph Williamson who has been with H. W. Healy for the past year, left Friday for London, to volunteer for service on the second contingent for South Africa. At the residence of Mr. D. Morgan, Bell street, on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 27th, Mr. James Moore of London, was married to Miss Lizzie Morgan, daughter of Mr. David Morgan. At the residence of Mr. John McCrae on Wed­ nesday afternoon, Mr. Andrew Tunks of British Columbia, was united in marriage to Miss Isa­ bella McCrae, by Rev. E. R. Hutt. Mr. and Mrs. Tunks will reside in the West. Let Our Friend* Suggest Our Resolution* The New Year is a time for resolutions. At this time we take stock of ourselves, and decide to do something about our failings, resolving to over­ come some habit into which we have slipped. The fault might be one of omission or commission, but we feel that we could live more efficiently without it. Sometimes these resolutions are followed ser­ iously. But more often enthusiasm lags as the year wears on, and in the end we find ourselves very much the same as we were at the beginning. It has been suggested that as these resolutions are made in an effort to make ourselves more agreeable to live with, we ought to allow our friend* to suggest New Year’s resolution* for us. They who live with us know our ^weaknesses. It might be a genuinely altruistic gesture, in keeing with the season, to invite suggestions. Assistance from others in keeping the resolution, might help considerably. Mr. Hugh A. Jenkins and Miss Margaret Totten tare married on Wednesday afternoon, December 27th, at the residence of the bride’s mother, King Hiram street. Rev.

Emphasiswill be on,greatly increased product­ ion, by 1952, of milk, eggs, beef and veal. Production of mutton and lamb will not be increased. Wheat pro­ duction will be allowed to decline from the peak war year 1943-44, but will be maintained at about half as much again as pre-war. Barley pro­ duction will be increased one-and-a- half above pre-war production and oats half as much again. About one- quarter more potatoes and sugar beets are planned for 1952 tluu in pre-war years. The object is to make the country more self-su'ficient in the nutritionally protective foods such as milk, eggs and meal, and produce more of the feeds—oarley and cats—to make ’.his possible.

Prices for these commodi­ ties will be subject to adjustment, while the wheat agreement with the United Kingdom will be continued. Arrangements were also made for the supply of certain raw materials, particularly timber and non-ferrous metals, required for Britain’s recon­ struction program. These agreements between Canada and the United Kingdom were arrived at despite seemingly unsur- mountable difficulties on both sides, and their successful conclusion starts us off in the new year with a good example of what can be achieved if countries strive towards a common goal. I From the Canadian standpoint wc ' have made a very great effort, not exceeded by any other states, to assist in the reconstruction of coun­ tries damaged or destroyed by the war. But we could not contintffc in­ definitely to export on credit and import for cash. From the United Kingdom standpoint, her own short­ age of hard currency equally limits the extent to which she can now afford to pay in dollars for goods supplied by Canada. Thus, the dis­ cussions with the United* Kingdom mission centred around the necessity for Canada to maintain a balanced , agricultural program, and the basic , dollar shortage in both countries. Though there was a shortage of dollars on both sides, there was no shortage of good will and mutual understanding. Also, if there was a ' common difficulty, there was a com- ; mon objective in the maintainance, now and in the future, of a steady market in the United Kingdom for , Canadian farm produce.

"Whereare you going, Janet?”"Up on the ridge, I think.There may be some signs ofspring up there.”"Certainly aren’t any downhere,” Abby muttered, then add­ed, "better wear rubbers, the ground's damp.”For the first time since she! had been at Oakhart, Janet real­ly wanted to get away from it.She had to divest herself of every view at the house and grounds. forever having to remember tokeep a tight rein on her emotions,was more than anyone couldtake. She would ask him for a di­vorce. Leave him Oakhart for itwas a project that she too be­lieved in. He was in a positionto charge more now, and he could afford a registered nurse.At the top of the ridge she found a fallen log near the edgeof the bluff and sat down, look­ing off over the patchwork offarm lands.Below her on the trail camethe slow plodding footsteps ofsomeone taking the climb easily,pausing often to rest A quicktremor of fear passed over her,until she recalled that WilliamHartigan was safe in a new ha­ven and in reality was quiteharmless.Sun glinted on a sandy headbobbing up the path. Richard'stall rugged shape came intoview. He was anxiously search­ ing the woods, his hazel eyes darkand serious. Janet stood upquickly. . . ."Richard, you shouldn't havecome, the climb is too much foryou." His big mouth twisted in thestrange lop-sided grin that Janetloved. "When the doctor desertsthe patient, the patient mustseek the doctor." She stared into his eyes think­ing hopv gentle they were—howsoothing and encouraging to a sick person, their expression."Sit down and get your breath —I thought you were reading.”“Even books aren’t satisfac­tory companions at certain times,and when a man’s wife goes run­ning off by herself all he can dois follow.” Her fingers clenched until theknuckles were while. She mustnot let herself weaken now. Rich­ard was only being kind andpolite, as he was with everyone —his words meant notiring per­sonal. “Richard, there's something”—"Wait, Janet. Before you sayanything, I want to tell you thatthe day you and Bronson were inmy room I heard everything yousaid. I was not asleep or uncon­scious as you semed to think.” Uncomprehensively she lookedinto his eyes, then when she un­ derstood the full import of hiswords her own eyes filled with ever since that evening at the Maison Mourney?”“You don’t have to save meembarrassment,” Richard.""I’m not, my dear—I’ve want­ed to tell you before, but you’dnever let me." "Why didn’t you tell me be-/ fore we were marrid, when wewere making our plans for Oak­hart?” "Propose to you when you’d!just fallen heir to an estate? Wouldn’t that have been a littleobvious? I didn’t want you think­ing that—it was bad enough over­hearing hospital gossip.”"But after that?” "After that it was you whsseemed so determined to makeit a business partnership. Everytime I wanted to tell you, youavoided me or something elseinterfered.""Strangetoo." a "Then when I came home fromtpwn that day,” Richard said,"I saw you and Bronson sittingon the old rock down by the riv­er. You were in his arms and hewas kissing you. After that I didn’t know what to think.”"He was Just comforting me,Richard. He knew how I feltabout you.”"I know that now.” “Oh, Richard, Richard, it allseems so stupid." “Janet, you're my wife—fromthis moment on, in every senseof the word. We’ll begin allover.”His arm slid beneath her coat, pressing her body close to his,his mouth on hers was'warm anddetermined. She felt a slow sat­isfaction enfolding her—it wasnot just the nearness of Richard’s person but the great peace ofmind his words had brought. They sat there, Richard withhis arm tight ardund her, untilthe sun began to sink low on thehorizon and the sky was a streak of green and coral, then theybegan their homeward journey. At the entrance to Oakhart hepicked her up in his arms.Janet laughed with happiness."What now, Richard?"

INGERSOLL, ONTARIO CHAPTER l" DICK BYRNE got otr the sleighstage at Bison grossing witheagerness, despite the fact thathis return practically announced a failure. He had been away for months,trying to place his Invention, *new type of portable saw, inMusketoon. Times were dull, andbe knew now, too late, that he had gone about It the wrong way.He could try again, and put itacross; but it would take somecapital, and his savings were gone.A few hundred dollars might haveset him on his feet, and now hehad exactly fifty cents, after pay­ing his stage fare. He meant to get bls pal. WillMacLeod, to go out again withhim on trap line. Will was book­keeping now for his Uncle Alex­ander, known as The MacLeod,but Byrne knew be would nothave to coax Will very bard totake to the woods. They had done well before, and they were booncompanions. There was more thanordinary friendship between them, both Celts, though Byrne wasIrish and Will MacLeod Scotch tothe backbone. Then there was Marlon, Will'ssister. That was not a case offriendship with Dick Byrne. He was In love with Marlon, alwayshad been since he met her. Justhow she felt toward him he wasnot certain. He meant to ask herns soon as he was better offfinancially.He had hoped great things ofthe saw. it was a good invention, practical and novel.

He would be gladenough to have two' more menbringing in pelts. As a team. Byrne and Will had brokedrecords. They would do It again,and then Dick would have another stab at the invention. He wouldgo to a bigger city this trip, ex­hibit his model in a vacant store. Interest the general public to backing IL He wondered how Marlon was,hating to have to acknowledge toher that he had fizzled.'She hadbeen great about encouraginghim. Now. Blngush, the breed, hailed alm, cold him Alexander MacLeodwanted to see him. It was almostas if The MacLeod had known of his coming. Yet Byrne had notwritten, waiting for a break be­fore be let Will—and throughWill, Marlon—know bow he wasmaking out. Will bad not writtenhim either, for the past four months, but Will was a poor cor-cespondenL But The MacLeod bad many andfar-reaching connections. He came close to being a ruler in his re­mote, far-flung dominion. He rec­ognized—and that reluctantly—only one power, one authorityhigher than fate own, occasionallyexhibited in the person of atrooper of the Royal CanadianMounted.Alexander MacLeod was of theold school. In pioneer days hewould have been factor for some big fur company; now he was hisown master, shrewd, resourceful,avid for power, impatient of anysuggestion of control or competi­tion. An overlord of the wilder­ness. The MacLeod, supremelyJealous of bls standing.Byrne found him tn what hecalled bls counting-house, at the back of the great store that heldChe goods be traded to ithe In­ dians and a tew white trappers,tor the skins they brought him.Byrne looked for Will and didnot see him. There was some oneelse at the bookkeeper’s desk, aStranger. The trader led Byrne throughthe covered way that connectedthe store and MacLeod’s house, took him Into an austere room seph's Mission, a room lined with books and with dark paintings ontwo walls; pictures, brought fromScotland a hundred years ago,portraits of the MacLeods of thatilk; all resembling the trsder.with harsh, dour, forceful fea­ tures showing dimly through an­sient varnish. MacLeod motioned Byrne to aeh air, gave him a cigar, pouredhim a drink, took one himself as he sat opposite the younger man.A big, gray-haired, w 1 d e-abouldered man in his vigorous Alexander MacLeod. One shoulder a little higher thanthe other, as with one shaggy eye­brow. Eyes keen as new chisels, gray as shadow Ice. Byrne felt theforce of him though he did notlike him. Few did. This hospitality was unusual. Itmeant that MacLeod wanted some­ thing, wanted It pretty badly, foras close to nothing as he couldget IL "So you’re back," ne said. "1thought you would be I’d a no­tion you’d And them coo sites for you In town Did they cake yourInvention away from you?" Byrne had once cried to getMacLeod co back It. out the traderhad wantec control for a small sum. Now Byrne was teuiporllylicked and MacLeod knew It. Hewould have to go to work againfor the astute trader.Byrne was a good trapper.There were not many whites who could compete with the bloodsand breeds, but Byrne was one ofthem. Will MacLeod. The Mac­ Leod’s nephew, had been another,especially in conjunction with DickByrne. Byrne was wilderness born and bred. He loved the silent andlonely places, but be bad imhgln- tury; he was the spiritual head of his tribe, reputed as a real wiz­ard. MacLeod naturally dealtwidely with Indiana. It could notbe an uprising. Those days weregone. It might be r -------- some sort a g a 1 n smethods, enticemenu held outby some rival who knew the terri» lory, and wanted to Invade IL That did not matter especiallyto Byrne.

Whenhe went to Musketoon tp try and place his Invention, Will MacLeodcame oil the tralL He did not likeIt without company, nor with any company except that of Byrne.So he had started to work asbookkeeper in the store. Byrne wondered how he wouldbe liking that job. However you worked for The MacLeod, if youdrew kit or grub or money fromhim you practically became hisserf. Byrne had stood for it be­cause he had saved money to ex­ploit the saw, was willing to doit again. Will was more restive. Byrne smoked his good cigarand sipped his good drink com­fortably. Anything you got freefrom The MacLeod was a triumph.But he wondered what the oldsilver dog-fox was up to. He shookhis head at the question aboutthe invention. He glanced through the windowat the snow, the forest, stainedwith blue and purple to thegathering dusk.

For the first time Byrne felt asense of something sinister co»-nected with this secret mission. “How much?" demanded thetrader, his shaggy eyebrows meet­ing to a scowl of impatience. Byrne still temorlMd. Hs couldsee that MaoLeod wanted him andhim alone aa his messenger. He "I did,” answered MacLeod. "It may mean a abort cut for yournext exploitation of your saw.” Hedeliberately finished his own drink, watching Dick Byrne care­fully. Yet there was no time to trading with merchandise andpeltry, it was an affair of life anddeath, one that Death bad already touched: an affair of honor andof reputation, which, to MacLeod,were not quite the same thing,but equally vital."I’ve some business for you.Byrne.

The so-called generosity is good economics, for birds will play an important part in the bountiful harvest for which we all hope in 1948. Scraps of meat, suet, bread crumbs, sunflower seeds and corn will help sustain the birds, whose issistance in keeping down grubs and insect pests is invaluable. A good many citizens in town have feeding stations which are visited by urge numbers of birds of many varieties, and their gardens will ben­ efit later on. OSTRANDER Mr. and Mrs. Alex.

Dr. Peale is wearing the hat and coat of the late Jack Miner with a goose in each arm, which had been trapped for banding purposes on the Jack Miner bird haven. Dr, Peale became famous the last few years as not only pastor of the oldest Protestant Church (Dutch Reform) on Fifth Avenue, New York, but as editor of a little weekly non-profit pamphlet known as Guide Posts which is printed under his directorship. Rev. Peale became interested in bird banding activities at the famous Jack 'Miner refuge from the angle of using the birds as missionaries because forty years ago the late Jack Miner conceived the idea of putting a verse of scripture on each band as well as Ns name and address. In this way Jack Miner used to say he was fulfilling the promises in the Holy Book where it says, “And the fowls of the air shall tell thee.” Port Huron.Miss Marion Downing, Reg.N.. wasa holiday visitor with friends in Pem­broke.Mr. and Mrs, Ernest Smith andson John of Woodstock, visited lastweek with Mr. and Mrs. AlfredHillary.
