Modern Warehouse to Replace Old Landmark One of Ingersoll’s oldest land­ marks has been razed by C. B. Lais- ter of Tillsonburg. It was the old planing mill in front of the office of the Beaver Lumber Company, Lim­ ited, on Charles St. West. It was used as a planing mill by the com­ pany until a new one was built. R. W. Stewart, the manager, states that the mill was occupied by many firms following its conversion from a church. It is believed that the build­ ing was used at one time asra Pres­ byterian church. Mr. Stewart told The Tribune that Charles Daniel says the building was in use as a mill when he came to Ingersoll 60 years ago. The building, of solid brick, was well constructed. The materials from it are being salvaged by Mr. Laister and will be used for construction purposes. Mr. Stewart states that the Beaver Lumber Company will con­ struct a modern warehouse on the site of the old planing mill.

Mr. Pickard also had a number of sug­ gestions regarding the highway traf­ fic on Bell street.

FINE ART EXHIBIT AT PUBLIC LIBRARY The Society of Canadian Painter, Etchers and Engravers is well repre­ sented in a display of pictures at the Ingersoll Public Library, part .of the Western Ontario Circulating Ex­ hibitions. ’ The display consists of aquatints, dry points, etchings, col­ our linoleum cuts, mezzotints, litho­ graphs, soft grounds, wood engrav­ ings and the subjects are mostly familiar Canadian scenes. Outstanding in the display is work done by N, Hornyansky, foremost artist in this particular line in the Canadian field. But work by others such as Viola Depew, Bessie Fry- Symons, W. L. Rowe and Dr. E. B. Sisley, shows that this fascinating mode of expression provides scope for considerable talent and appears to be gaining in popularity. Ingersoll is fortunate in having this compara­ tively small, but extremely beautiful exhibit. 26 TABLES IN PLAY AT FINAL CARD PARTY A very successful "Family Night” was ..held on Friday evening in St. Paul’s Presbyterian Sunday School, under , the auspices of St Paul's Guild.

Miss Irene (Continued on page 5) Garage Operators of Oxford Elect Officers Ingersoll Boys Add To Musical Honors At the Stratford Music Festival last week, three Ingersoll boys won honors—James Miller, son of Mr., and Mrs. J. Miller, Carroll St., won first place in the cornet open class, and also first place in the class for players up to 21 years of age. Barrie Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Preston T. Walker, King St West, won first place in both the 16- year-old and the 18-year-old class for clarinet players. He also won a $25^)0 scholarship for wood-wind players. Mrs. D. A. Bonesteel was the accompanist for the boys. Jack Watmough, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Watmough, Canterbury St., stood third in the cornet class for 18-year-olds. He was accompanied by Mrs. F. Roberts. Alexander Red- shaw of England acted as adjudi­ cator. “We are specialists, doctors. of mechanics, and not “grease-mon­ keys”, John Robbins, general man­ ager of the Ontario Garage Oper­ ators Association, told the annual meeting of the Oxford Branch in Woodstock last week. “Let us make our business a pro­ fession,’’ he urged. He termed the industry “big,” dealt with the prob­ lems of hours of-sale, and noted what had been accomplished in the last 15 years. The lack of enforcement on the government’s part has made the hours of sale for gasoline a political football, he claimed. “They did not have the fortitude to enforce an act which they put into effect,” he stat­ ed. He termed the oil companies which have a 24-hour notice clause in their lease, as “vicious." The retiring president, Douglas Watson of Woodstock, was in the chair. Sam Shelton of Ingersoll in­ troduced the speaker, who was thank­ ed by E. R. Pearce of Tillsonburg. The following is the new execu­ tive: Tim Brules of Bright, presi­ dent; E. R. Pearce of Tillsonburg, vice-president; Earl Church of Wood- stock,\ secretary-treasurer. . Elected to a <>oard of directors are: D. French of Burgessville, S. Shelton of Ingersoll, R. Odell of Ingersoll, G. Hogg of Thamesford, E. poster of Tillsonburg, E. R. Pearce of Tillson­ burg, H. Douglas of Woodstock, D. Watson of Woodstock, B. Bickerton of Woodstock, J. Chapman of Wood- stock, R. Rachar of Otterville. The members of the Ingersoll Turf Club met on Monday evening in the office of Robert McNiven, King St. West with the president Burton Har­ ris, presiding. Plans were discussed for the horse show and harness horse­ races to be held on Saturday after­ noon, June 26th. The announcement that L. G, St. Clair, painting and decorating, a local man who is interested in the progress of the community, has don­ ated a trophy for the horse show was received with appreciation. Mr. St. Clair is giving a cup for the best team of heavy draught horses on the grounds, the competition being open to Clydesdales, Percherons, Belgians, and wagon horses, exclusive of his own horses. “We are grateful to Mr. St. Clair for this fine gesture,” said Mr. Harris. There will be two harness races, a 2:22 and a 2:28 trot or pace. There will be roadster single and double races also. A Hackney pony class is to be included on the afternoon’s program. The club has sponsored an annual horse show early in June, but this is the first year that it has combined races with its program. The Turf Club members are assisting the Ki- wanis Club of Ingersoll with its in­ dustrial fair, to be held in Victoria Park on June 24th, 25th, and 26th. The’ races will be started by the well-known starter, J. M. Climie of Tillsonburg, who will use the Climie- Wbitesell starting gate. This is an innovation in the starting of harness horse races, which facilitates good starting and eliminates the tiresome scoring. ZENDA C.O.F.

Fire Chief Fred Ellis has been lay­ ing in a supply of brooms—he buys them by the dozen—not for spring housecleaning at the Fire Hall, nor for street cleaning either. They have become a part of fire-fighting equip­ ment, and are used in smothering grass fires. Twice within the past week the Ingersoll Fire’ Department has been called out for such work. / On Friday afternoon, about 1:30, a run was made to the Macnab Service Station, Bell St., where a grass fire had got out of control. On Monday morning, at 10:30, the department again was called out, this time to quell a grass fire on a vacant lot at Cathcart and Mutual streets. Tues­ day afternoon they w’ere called to Fred Cussons’ home on Victoria street, and Wednesday morning to' the home of Hubert Fitzmorris, also on Victoria street. In each case only brooms were re­ quired to deal with the situation, and no serious damage was incurred. The Apni meeting of the Victoria Auxiliary of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Churcb was held on Monday evening in the parlors of the church. The de­ votional period, which opened the meeting, was in charge of Mrs. J. Fleet. Following a hymn, a study of the Apostles’ Creed was directed by Mrs. R. B. Hutt and the Scripture les­ son was read by Mrs. J. J. McLeod. A piano solo by Mrs. L. W. Staples was much appreciated.

The president, Miss Edna Currie, conducted the business meeting when I the regular reports of officers and conveners were presented. An inter­ esting quiz on information in the March issue of the W.M.S. “Glad Tidings” proved entertaining and in­ structive. The meeting was closed with the Mizpah benediction, and refresh­ ments were served by the hostesses, Mrs. J. Fleet. Mrs. H. Gray, Mrs. C. Grieve, Miss J. Hagan, and Mrs. R. B. Hutt.

Mr. Allbrant recommended balan­ ced programs warning against a too­ narrow concept of community recrea­ tion. He suggested not only sports, but also dramatic clubs, folk songs, etc. The appreciation of the gathering was expressed to Mr. Allbrant for his interesting address by J. R. Henley. JAMES HARRIS CELEBRATED HIS 95th BIRTHDAY, APRIL Sth James Harris, a resident of Inger­ soll for the past 40 years, celebrated his 95th birthday anniversary on Tuesday.

Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa THURSDAY, APRIL Sth, 1948 A Chamber of Commerce should assist the farm­ers of the district, and it should help the residentsof the town to become better acquainted with them.Our farmer neighbors help to make ours a busycommunity.During the year, the Chamber of Commence maydiscover opportunities to aid in beautifying Inger­soll, thus making it more attractive to the many visitors who pass through it each day, and to its residents. In numerous ways, the Chamber of Commerce can help to promote pride in the com­ munity on the part of the citizens. While refraining from political issues, the Cham­ ber of Commerce can promote an increased interest in the duties of citizenship. It can encourage citi­ zens to accept public offices, and it should urge up­ on the citizens the great importance of voting in elections. There are many ways in which the Chamber of Commerce can serve Ingersoll and the surrounding trading area. The extent of its service, however, will depend upon the support which it receives from all of the citizens. And in wishing the Chamber of Commerce much success in its efforts on behalf of Ingersoll and the district during 1948, we bespeak for it the wholehearted support of every citizen. LOOKING BACKIn the Files ofThe Ingersoll TribuneIngersoll - Ontario THE YDLE LIFE Eschewe the ydle life,Flee, flee from doing nought;For never was there ydle braiueBut bred an ydle thought.—Geo. Turbenille The Ingersoll and District Choirs Proclaimed The Easter Season One feature of the observance of Easter is the place given to music. It is a time of hopefulness and happiness, and it is fitting that those blessed by all that it signifies, should express their joy in song. Music of a particularly high order was rendered by the various church choirs in Ingersoll during the whole Easter season. Beginning with sucred cantatas on Palm Sunday, in preparation for the great feast, and reaching a climax on Easter Day itself, the choirs told in song the story of the crucifixion and the resurrection, thus adding con­ siderably to the impressiveness of the season. This entailed weeks of intensive practice on the part of the choir members and their leaders, in order to make finished presectations. They succeeded admirably.All year round Ingersoll church choirs faithfully give of their talent in the ministry of song, but at this recent Easter season they excelled themselves. Ingersoll’s New Recreation Commission Deserves Support Ingersoll’s ecreation Commission, the planning of which began last December, has become organ­ ized. For some time past, it has been felt that something ought to be done to have a more orderly arrangement of the town’s recreational facilities. At times the conflict of events has been detrimen­ tal both to their sponsors and to those whom they aim to benefit. Under the newly-formed commission, authorized by municipal by-laws, and with Frank H. Fergu­ son as its* capable president, recreation in the town will be controlled. This will avoid overlap­ ping of events and it will also make provision for a variety of entertainment to suit various tastes. As this method of arranging a recreational pro­ gram has the support of the provincial govern­ ment, the town is likely to benefit to a greater extent than it would otherwise. This is a highly important undertaking, for the moral and physical welfare of our townspeople, especially the young people, is concerned. Mem­ bers of the new commission are all men and wo­ men prominent in local philanthropic work, and known to be interested in everything pertaining to the welfare of the community. They are de­ serving of close co-operation from individuals and organizations alike, in their efforts Unmake a success of the newly-adopted method. 48 YEARS AGO Thursday, April Sth, 1900 At the Town Hall last Friday evening, scores of people were un­ able to gain admittance on the occas­ ion of the patriotic concert. Before 7.30 every seat was filled. The pro­ gram was of a musical nature, con­ sisting of solos by Mrs. McLeod of Woodstock, Mrs. H. C. R. Walker, Messrs. H. Sykes and Geo. Crooker of Woodstock; dancing by Miss Geor­ gia Sage and clarinet solos by Mr. A. L. McCarty; tableaus directed by Mr. H. Irvin and Britannia March, directed by Mrs. (Dr.) McKay and Miss O’Neill by thirty young boys and girls. Those who took part in this part of the program were: Britannia, Miss Fanny Richardson;' Tommy Atkins, Masters Basil Irvin, Archie Wilson, Maurice Boles and Willie Kester; soldiers.

LaPenotiere, Willie Waters, Harry Muir, Bev. Gayfer, Stan. Richard­ son, F. O’Callaghan and Earl Atkins. In the second part of the program, Miss Georgie Sage gave two High­ land-dances and Mr. A. L. McCarty gave a clarinet solo, which was play­ ed very artistically and had to be repeated. Mr. and Mrs. Foster Wilson have retired from farming and have moved into Ingersoll to reside. On Thursday evening of last week some sixty of their former neighbours called upon them and after appoint­ ing Mr. Wm. Nancekivell master of ceremonies, an address was read to Large Attendance atCounty Drama FestivalThe Oxford County Music andDrama Festival was held on Fridayevening at the regular spring rally ofthe Baptist Young People's Union, in the Ingersoll Baptist Church, with a splendid representation from points throughout the county.

District Are On The Land Again Spring is the farmers' busy season, and it is probably the one season of the year which they most greatly anticipate. They look forward to the coming of spring when they will be on the land again. Some of the district farmers have already commenced their spring plowing. While spring is a very busy season for the far­ mers, the winter, despite what town residents may think, is also a busy one. The livestock housed in the barns must be cared for, and this work includes the feeding, bedding and grooming. Win­ ter is the time when there is harness to repair, implements to be put in good condition for the spring work, and repairs to be made to buildings. A farmer is busy all the year around, and his is no eight-hour day. However, there are few far­ mers who do not enjoy their work. They work for themselves, and the success of their farming de­ pends upon the interest which they take in it. The urban dweller who may look upon farmers as “hicks” and “hayseeds”, knows little about farm­ ing and all the knowledge which a successful farmer must possess. Farmers must know a little about almost every occupation. They must he students of the soil and make efficient use of fertilizers. They grow crops which are best sbited to their land and those which will bring them the best returns.^ They cannot control the weather, and as they (have to work with it they are fre­ quently very good weather forecasters. A farmer has to know quite a lot about vita­ mins, which means that he must feed his livestock well to keep them healthy. He selects the feeds which will bring good yields of milk from his cows, high egg, production from his poultry flock, and fatten the hogs for market. A farmer has to know something of the treating of the minor illnesses and injuries of his livestock also. There are many occupations in which a farmer must have some skill, and it is from such a diver­ sity that he has a freedom which is often envied by the people who live in the towns and cities. He learns to be indepenedent—to handle problems as they occur. As the farmers of the district prepare now to commence work on the land again, we of the urban population are glad. We are enthused that it is spring again, and we have something of the happiness that is felt by the farmers, who, al­ though it is their busiest season, are happy as they go about getting ready for the spring work. We hope that the farmers will have good weather for the cultivation of the land and for the seeding. And we hope that the whole spring and summer season will be beneficial to their crops and their pasture fields, so that they will have a successful year and that we, who depend for our food upon those who till the soil, will have for our tables an abundance of the products of the farms of the Ingersoll district. What Others S a y : Two Different Recipes In an age when the tenure of human life is extremely uncertain—if current world events areto be any criterion—two persons who have re­cently celebrated their 102nd anniversaries give their recipes for such an extraordinary accomplish­ ment. In Los Angeles, Mrs. Christina Nelson,bom in Sweden, ascribes her longevity to hardwork, Christian living and having a large family.In the City of Angels, also, Tennessee-born RobertBarnhart, a hoedown fiddler, says bachelorhood,an occasional nip of good whisky and wine, and a“chaw o’ baccy” are the requisites. While many observers will counter such pride­ful advice with the query—“Who wants to live tobe 102?” there may be some who do, and this is not counting those who were 101 on their lastanniversary. From the evidence here assembled itwould appear that the best prescription is to do what comes naturally and let nature take care ofthe rest.If there is longevity in your genealogical tree some of it m J expand itself within your life-loving tissues. If th^re isn’t then you won’t have too longto think about the situation. The only worth-whilefeature of a long life is that you stay young in heart and mind, and healthy enough to be inde­pendent. Otherwise, it would be a burden and apenalty. Life, in the larger sense, is never a question oftime but of incident. It is not the years that mat­ter but what we do with the years. It is not the number of calendars we tear up,’but the intensityof life and the kind of life that we inscribe on ourcalendar. It must be thrilling to stoop down and blow out 102 candles on one’s birthday cake, but only if all the candles are bright and shining andthe cake, rich and fruity and full of flavor.—London Free Press Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. As a memento of the esteem and affection of their friends, a silver tea service and bas­ ket were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson by Mr. W. O. Edwards. Short speeches were made by Messrs. R. Harris, T. Seldon, S. Gregg, W. Ed­ wards, G. Sibben. J, Markham, D. Robinson, W. Karn and Wm.

Five members of the O.R.H.A. Thursday, April 6th, 1933 The Charpber of Commerce Works For Community Improvements The election of officers for 1948 by the Ingersoll Chamber of Commerce indicates that this commun­ ity organization is preparing to render another year of service torthe towrt and the surrounding trading area. Inge Holl is fortunate to have an active Chamber of Commerce, which shows that a number ■of its citizens are interested in communjity improve­ ment activities. The securing of new industries is an important function of a Chamber of Commerce. Ingersoll has many advantages to offer to prospective industries. It is well served by railways, including rail service to Port Burwell,1 one of the finest harbors on the northern shore of Lake Erie. The town is also ex­ cellently situated on the provincial highway sys­ tem. Another feature to be considered is that the town is surrounded by one of the most progressive dairy farming districts in the Dominion of Canada. In seeking new industries, a Chamber of Com­ merce should not be unmindful of the valuable in­ dustries which are contributing greatly to the pros­ perity of the community. The organization should be ready to render service to these industries when­ ever an opportunity occurs, helping them to main­ tain their successful operation^ in our community. No Guaranteed Market Ottawa has laid great stress on the financialdifficulties involved in'our food export to GreatBritain. These are certainly important but there are others. Farmers, processors, shipping andother interests will be making a great mistake ifthey think that Britain is prepared to take unlim­ ited volume from Canada if the problem of pay­ ment can be solved. That was largely true duringthe war and for a limited time afterward. It isn’ttrue to-day. Great Britain has other sources of foods thanCanada, and these other sources are becomingmore important every day. Old pre-war major suppliers like Denmark, Holland, and Poland areagain coming into the picture and normal connect­ions have been restored with New Zealand andAustralia long ago. The time is fast approaching when Britain andother importers of food will be able to pick and,choose. Canada would be well advised to start planning to meet that new situation by gettingquality up and costs down, and by opening newoutlets for our agricultural surplusses preferablyin the United States. —Financial Post.i . ------------o------------Reforestation and Conservation Several rivers in Southwestern Ontario, includ­ing the Grand, the Thames and the Maitland,went on the rampage recently, causing the worstspring floods since 1937. The long severe winterand the sudden breakup had their inevitable re­sult. Damage will run into many millions of dol­lars and thousands of persons were rendered tem­porarily homeless. Only quick action resulted inthe saving of numerous lives. It should be apparent by this time that only an extensiveprogram of reforestation and conservation willeffect any permanent improvement in this condi­tion which is becomingly steadily worse. Provincialand munirfpal authorities in the areas affectedmust take early action on a long-term program designed to bring these rivers under control at allseasons of the year. —Simcoe Reformer Interest Needed Our way of life can be maintainly only by wiseleadership, not only in labour ranks but in the ranks of the capitalists and industrialists and evenmore so in the federal governement ... It is nowan urgent necessity that all self-supporting citi­ zens take an active interest in public affairs. —Malartic (Que.) Star Walking is good for the complexion, says aphysical expert. But a lot of women still telephonefor theirs. , —London Free Press One of Ingersoll’s older residents in the person of William H.

My mother is Irene Smith." ‘Oh. ’ saw Johnny Her nnverswere cool Then he said "This U my associate. Mr Martin." The girl looiceo oaca at Jonnny Saxun. "You came here about mother." she said WcU there are some things I ought to tell you." Johnny's level eyes Bickered Blt^htly. “If you mean about hersuir.'rmg from amnesia, I already understand—" “It's more than that." Kay said. "She's had a terrific shock, and so we have to be very careful Mygoodness, she now thinks she is an actress. You'D think she acts oddly, but please try to remember that she recalls nothing at all since that nigh: two weeks age . . Her voicefaltered and her gaze dropped ‘You mean.” Johnny asked gently, “about . . . your father?" Kay nodded. "Have you beard?" "Only a part of It.” said Johnny. ‘If it's all right, I’d like to bear the whole story.” The girl said. "Mother and fatherwere driving back from New York that night.” Her voice was low. "What exactly happened, no one knows. Father was found the next morning, shot, on a lonely side roadnear Lijtle Neck. The police found the car in the same vicinity. It had gone off the road and was a total wreck." Johnny said. “You mean, he was shot and then the car went off the help to restore her memory But the book has disappeared!" They were Interrupted by some­ one coming from the direction of the terrace. She was tafL and moved with adeliberate grace Ural reminded him of an actress coming on to a stage. As she came closer. Johnny saw that the woman bad fair and sensitivefeatures, and that her hair was au- bum-red He knew immediately that she was Irene Smith. She walked right past her daugh­ter as though the gtr) were a total stranger Her gaze was Intent upon Jolinny Saxon, and now she was ap­ proaching him with outstretched hands "Darling!" she said 'softly. “I thought I’d never find you!" Johnny Saxon felt the womans cool, firm fingers upon his own Her eyes could have been beautifully dis­ turbing except for the slight expres­ sion of vacantness that was now tn their depths. He said, "Hello." Irene said. "You've been away so long, Barton.” Her gray eyes shone."I must talk to you. Alone!” Johnny saw the expression on book-lined library. He turned around as he heard rapid steps hurrying through the hall A thin, little man went scurrying down the length of the halt He walked with the quick, energetic steps of a woman, and Johnny caught a glimpse of a shock of white balr. The man bent down and fitted a key Into the lock of one door He tried several keys: apparently hehad a fistful He went to work with determination, fitting first one key and then another the door lock. The huge Great Dane appeared tn one of the archways across the hall, stretched himself lazily, then trotted over to investigate what the little gray-haired man was doing. The man said. ‘Go away Mi­ chael" His voice was inclined to be shrill and sharp He certainly was no youngster The Uttle, old guy was still trying keys in the lock. He kept muttering to himself. Johnny saw that his pockets were pulled out of shape by the weight of the keys. "Maybe the door's open." suggest­ ed Johnny "Like this one," said Kay, taking something from the pocket of her VERSCHOYLE road?" They don't know That's it The doctors think that mother must fiave been in the car chough, when It crashed Some sort of Injury hurt her head It explains loss of mem­ ory." She paused, and Johnny thought she did not seem like avery young girl then, but more like someone who had grown up over­ night. "We didn’t locate mother un­ til two days ago.” she went on. “She remembers nothing at all."said Kay. Her voice was trembling a little. "How she got there, where she’s been al) this time since the accident, what she's done ... no oneknows The doctors say she might snap out of it suddenly, and then again It might be months She mere­ ly considers us. friends who have asked her out here. She does not aven remember father." Johnny touched the girl’s slim arm. He said quietly. "ID do all I can to help The way I understand It they figure that If your mother regains her memory she'll be able to say who killed your father. That la if it was anyone she knew - "Yea." said the girt. "Helpingmother to remember Is part of IL Btit that isn't the only reason we need you. Uncle Thomas also em­ ployed you because of the notes.* Johnny frowned. "Notes?" "Like this one." said Kay. taking something from the pocket of her beach rope. Unfolding it carefully. She handed it to Johnny Saxon. "It came In/ the mail the day before yesterday, and was addressed tomother.^ Johnny read Xhe words that were typed on the single sheet of white pi'.per. They said: Too are not Irene Smith. Don’t try te remember who you are. If you do. therq might be another ae-. cident. There was no signature. "Any idea what It means?" John­ ny asked. That's Just It!” said the girt. "We b vven't the slightest idea.” Kay's eyes swept to Johnny Sax­ on's, and she added tensely. “Her life's ;n danger. That's why we needsomeone like you.

There was a man­ ner about her that told Johnny not to be surprised by any of her moth­er's actions ’Come." suggested Irene, putting her arm through his She nodded toward several chairs near the swim­ ming pool These people annoy me." There were white metal chairs close to the pool’s edge, and they sat there. Irene Smith drew her chair close to hla, reaching put toclasp his hands "Why didn't you toil me you were going away, Bart?” Her gray eyes seemed to scold him ’ "Well..." "I had arranged to have dinner for you that evening, remember? And then, suddenly you had gone away. I fell terrible. Barton." "So did L" Johnny hedged. He paused and wondered who Barton was and what approach be should take. "fa there something wrong, dar­ling?” Her eyes watched the calm surface of the nearby water. “You haven't called me Marte once since you've returned." k He said. "No. there's not a thing wrong. I've missed you too." 1 "Hummm." Her eyes were closed. "I said ..." He paused Johnny suddenly thought It was too bad she had been in an accident He imagined she’d bad a very brilliant mind. The nurse said, "She gets these drowsy spells Often. They coma over her suddenly." Johnny stood up. The woman tn the stiff white uniform had ap­ proached so quietly across the lawn that he had not beard her. "Who Is Bart?" he asked. The nurse shook her head. "She has never used the name before." Karen struck Johnny Saxon as be­ ing coo) and efficient and reserved.Her hair and eyes were very dark, and there was enough coloring to her face to offer a nice contrast "If you don't mind ..." Karen moved toward Irene Smith’s chair. “I’ll take her to her room.” she said. "She seems to tire very easily. It'stime for her nap." Johnny started toward the house.He opened one of two screen doors decorated with expensive bronze hardware and su-pped inside the house. He found himself la a spaci­ ous hallway which ended at a wide flight of stairs. Johnny moved to the first door­ way on his right and saw a long, The man straightened. "HowH that?* asked the oldster, squinting out of small bright eyes. "I said, maybe the door's already open." Stepping forwaid. he startedto reach for the doorknob. "Of-course it’s open I" snapped the man. reaching out and opening ths door ahead of Johnny Johnny's dark brows arched abovehis eyea. He said. "My ooms Is Sax­ on. I’m . .." "Your partners upstairs." said the old man. Then be turned and hur­ ried down the service hallway that was beyond the door. "The devil!" murmured Johnny. Later. Johnny found himself In a room floored with pale green tile. Plants and flowers grew everywhere. Somewhere water trickled over stones. It was a nice, pleasant sound Kay was lying on a wicker loungr, her head burled In her arms. Her tanned legs were straight and slim. Johnny sat down and lit a cig­arette. "It was tough about your father.” be said. "I can understandhow yop feet’ Kay murmured her thanks. "D wasn’t father." The remark sur­ prised him. "I was thinking of mother. You know what I mean.Mother doesn't remember tu. She thinks she knows you. Yet she re­ calls nothing. Nothing at all!” Her lip trembled slightly. She had a nicely formed, determined mouth Johnny reached out and pulled • chromium ash stand toward him. "I understand your mother was ex­ amined by one of the best doctorsin New York. What did the doctor think about her case?" He added, "It really Is loss of memm-y?" "Oh. yes I There was some slight concussion, too. but the specialist said it was nothing serious. They even took X-rays All they can sur­ mise Is that mother must havedriven the car off the road, crashed and was knocked unconscious tor some time." "Then the accident wasn't dis­covered right away?" "No." “So-your father wasn't found tnthe car at all?" She shook her bead. "He was dis­ covered some distance back down the highway . . . which proves that someone must have ordered mo they to drive on alone."

They wore their loudest ties and shirts, and doffed their coats and vests to dine in their shirt sleeves. The ties rang­ ed from the conventional type, in bright colors, to huge ribbon bows, and among the shirts were red ones taken from the hunting kit and some designed especially for the evening. One member displayed a neat join­ ing of two shirts of different colors. The meeting was in charge of the president, F. H. Stone. Following the singing of grace and "God Save the King," the visitors were intro­ duced. They included: Archie Heas- lip, the president, Ed. Taylor and Rene Davis of the Kiwanis Club of .Woodstock and R. G. Craig of Ing­ ersoll. R. A. Stone announced that the Woodstock club is sponsoring a pro­ gram in that city to be presented by the Barrie boys’ and girls’ symphony band. Birthday greetings were ex­ tended to C. E.

He stated that the chairman of the com­ mittee, L. A. Westcott has given much time to the planning of the space selling. Mr. Westcott, said Mr. Small, will give the details of the sell­ ing at the next meeting. The club was informed that Buford Learn, while visiting in Peterborough, had sold a space there. Mr. Small told the members that the committee has held 25 meetings since the first of |he year, at which every member has been present. H. I. Stewart stated thaiBpach mem­ ber of the club has tickets to sell for the fair. “I know that each member is going to sell them, because the selling is easy,” he said. Mr. Stewart explained that the tickets, which are $1 each, entitle the holder to enjoy all the performances at the fair. President Stone said the team standings for the ticket sales will be posted on the wall at next week’s din­ ner meeting. The teams will be cap­ tained by the president and the vice- president, and the losing team will entertain the winning team members with a turkey dinner.

Thurtell, collected a fine of $1 from President Stone for having "advertised" that Stone’s horse meat would make the pups grow. Those members who took lightly the warning in the club’s bulletin that failure to attend the meeting wearing a loud tie and shirt would be “too bad” for them, were ordered to assemble around the head table by President Stone. Each was then given a bottle with a nipple and re­ quired to imbibe its contents of a soft drink. A prize was given for the member whose bottle was emptied first, the winner being W. R. Mar­ shall.

Mr. Dundas said he well remembered the time when the district was practically solid bush, when they made the long trail through the forest. Some rem­ iniscences of long ago were told humorously. ■ The address was interesting and gained a round of applause. Mr. A. T. Perley made an excellent chair­ man and now and again, gave some added information regarding life in Putnam thirty years ago. Mrs. R. Clifford gave a neat little speech on what the church has meant to the community. “In this meeting,” she said, ”1 have thought of the good men and women I knew’ years ago; of the noble ministers of the gospel we loved in days gone by. We need to thank God for the church to-day and I pray God’s blessing upon the congregation as the years pass on. Ted Connor read a brief synopsis, of local history of which the following is part:— “About three quarters of a cen­ tury ago, the hamlet of Putnam came into being. At first, it consisted of a couple of mills, on what was then called Reynold’s Creek. The <awmill stood on the south side of the Hamil­ ton Road almost in front of where the Doubling house now stands. The grist mill stood on the north side of he road almost opposite the saw mill. The mills were owned and operated by Thomas Putnam, fam­ iliarly known as “Squire Putnam”, Hence the name of the past ami present village. At this time the groceries and wines of the neighbor­ hood were supplied by Alexander Milne, who kept store in the same building which to-day is known as M. Boulding’s residence. A wagon shop conducted by Mr. Clayton stood behind the house now occupied by Mr. Fenton and one of the village blacksmith shops stood near. John Menhennick conducted the black­ smith shop now owned by Mr. Fen­ ton. There was also a wood turning mill, run by water power, which stood just south of where Mr. Charles Mathews’ shop now stands. Beside this stood a shingle factory of large proportions. The building which is now occupied by the Soden 1 family as a dwelling, was in the long ago a tavern and a second tavern was conducted where Mr. Crossett’s store now stands. A Pres­ byterian Church stood on the east end of Mr. Boulding’s lot. This building was later moved on to the Clifford farm an<| at the present time is used for a dwelling by'Mr. Whaley. O)i the west end of Mr. Bennett’s lot was the Bible Christian Church, which has since been moved and converted into the shop conducted by Mr. Bennett. The first Methodist i Church was a frame structure and stood in the same position as the present church. The old church was sold to Dick Wallis and elevated to its present position over the black­ smith shop, and served as a public hall for the community. About the year 1868, the Burnside Cheese factory came into view. It was built by a joint stock company and in succeeding years has passed through many hands, and as is well known, it now is owned by Mr. George Boyes, who purchased it from Mr. Will Court A few years earlier, Mr. Marshall established a brick and tile yard about a quarter of a mile south of the cheese factory. Mr. E. D. George purchased this plant from Mr. Marshall and until about ten years ago, it was kept in operation. The first school was situ­ ated on the hill just west of Squire Putnam’s home. This building was sold and moved onto the farm now owned by Mr. Fred Clifford. We understand that tMr. Clifford Is still making use of it The second school occupied the position of the present school. It was erected about 64 years ago and served as the Hall of Know- C. P. R. agent, who in turn gave place to our present agent, A. Per- ly. Previous to the building of the railway, the mail was brought to Putnam along a route from Ingersoll to Culloden via Avon. Three times i week did the mail wagon visit the village, but when Mr. Harris con­ tracted for the work, Putnam was supplied with a daily mail. At the present time Mr. Wm. Hutcheson delivers the mail from gate to gate and serves the community as a gov­ ernment man. One of Putnam’s land marks, is the old poplar tree which stands at i the school house corner. It was planted by Mr. Wm. Collins about 50 years ago. Beside it was a big square stone that marked the east boundary of the Avon road. The tree has grown around this stone ‘ until the stofie is completely embed­ ded in the trunk of the tree and any-1 one wanting this road marker, may have the same if they use a “Kirstin 1 Stump Puller.” All present expressed pleasure in the evening's program and after some singing of the old fashioned songs and light lunch, another en- j joyable evening was brought to a close with singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” DORCHESTER Mrs. Belle Longfield spent Easter1 week-end in Kingsville visiting her sister-in-law, Mrs. Fannie Jackson.
