Through the generosity of Mr.
and Mrs. E. A. Wilson, 121 Ann St.,
Ingersoll is to have a modern swim
ming pool, a wading pool for small
children and bathhouses. The cost,
which it is estimated will exceed
$50,000, will be borne entirely by
ACCIDENT VICTIMBENEFITS BY PARTYHELD AT DORCHESTER
A successful bingo was held by
the Cancer, Polio and Tuberculosis
committee of Dorchester Odd Fel- jir> an(j Wilson,
lows and Rebekah Lodges in the
town recently. Good prizes were
donated by businessmen of Dorches
ter, Ingersoll, Crampton, Harriets-
ville, Gladstone, Mossley and Put
nam. The proceeds amounting to
$70 will be given to Andrew Ven
ning of Mossley, who suffered, a ser
ious accident on a farm last summer.
The committee wishes to thank
everyone who helped in any way to
make the bingo a real success, with
special thanks to Jack Rogers

The pool, now under construction,
is located on the west side of Thames
St., south of the Thames River, on
Morrow Screw and Nut Company
Limited, property, this site having
been chosen as a convenient one for
the residents of the north and south
sections of the town.
The contract for the construction
of the pool was awarded to the Mc-
Cabe-Schwenger Construction Com
pany, Limited. The construction
work was begun about three weeks
ago, and in view of the immense job.
of breaking up concrete foundations
to clear the site for the pool it is
felt that splendid progress lias been
made already by the contractors.
The pool, as yet unnamed, will be
ready for use, it is anticipated,
about the middle of July. The swim
ming pool will be 100 feet long and
50 feet wide. At its deeper end it
will have a depth of nine feet, and
it will graduate to a depth of three
and a half feet at the other end. ’.
The pool is to be of standard size I
so that championship aquatic events
can be held in it, and the records set
by participants will be recognized.
The building for the dressing
rooms and the showers will be of
cement-block construction. It will be
a fire-proof one-story building.

There was a very fine attendance
at the regular meeting of the Lions
Club on Monday evening, with Pre-
■>ident Joe Churchouse presiding.
Considerable business was transact
ed relating to the coming annual
earnival in June and a number of
the members volunteered to assist in
the Red Shield drive being put on by
the Salvation Army next month.
During the meeting, Keith Gcddie
delighted the Lions with violin num
bers, playing, “Star Dust", by Rub-
moff and as an encore an arrange
ment for violin of "Mighty Lak a

panist at the piano. The speaker of
the evening was Lion Les Bali of
Woodstock, the judge of the Juven
ile Court, who chose as his subject,
"Education, Past, Present and Fu
ture.”
In his address the speaker stated
that the definition for education is
the discipline of the mind or char
acter through study or instrultion,
and this can be gained through three
different channels, the system of
reading, writing and arithmetic, a
thorough course of training of mind
and habits, and by strict discipline.
The matter of why learning is nec
essary to education was stated to be
not sufficient, but an objective in
thinking of things as they are, not
merely as they appear to be,develops
that training necessary to a thor
ough education. It was recommended

Oxford Unit Seeks !
Cancer Society Members;
Applications for membership in
the Oxford County unit of the Can- <
adian Cancer Society have been >
fnailed to individual householders in 1
^various sections of the county and
the Oxford unit is requesting a re- 1
turn of the completed cards with the 1
membership fee.
The completed applications may ;
be left or mailed to any chartered
bank in the county, from where they
will be forwarded to campaign head
quarters at 390 Dundas St., Wood-
stock, it was announced.
It is important that each contri
bution be accompanied with the
name and address of the applicant
so that information which will be
mailed out from time to time during
the year will reach members, R. F.
Brady, tlje president of the Oxford
Unit, states.
An objective of 5,000 members
, has been set by the unit for Oxford
• County. The program to date has
. been extremely encouraging and the
, executive feels that the public have
:a definite and sympathetic interest
in the campaign, Mr. Brady said.
> “I wish to make it clear that the
. conclusion of the campaign for mem-
. bership does not mean the end of
the activity of the Oxford unit of
the Canadian Cancer Society,” he
added. "It is felt there is a definite
job to be done by the society in the
scope of community welfare. ,
"Arrangements will be made with
the Victorian Order of Nurses and
the St. John Ambulance Corps for
the provision and distribution of
dressings and other needed services,
the cost of which will be borne by
the local unit of the Canadian Can
cer Society from its portion of the
total campaign revenue.
“This program is applicable to all
portions of the county and in addi
tion to the memberships received the
society solicits the continued inter
est and advice of all organizations
throughout the county.
"As much as has been done for
the treatment and diagnosis of this
particular malady, we are still deep
ly concerned with the infinite possi
bilities which a program such as this
will provide in broadening the field
of research diagnosis and treatment
as well as promoting confidence that
something can be done to reduce the
fatalities.
"Persons subscribing to the cam
paign may be assured as I have said
before, that the end of the campaign
is merely the beginning of the ser
vice."
Assured For Ingersoll
It is assured that Ingersoll will
have mail delivery, Postmaster S. A.
Gibson informed The Ingersoll Tri
bune this week. G. W. Southcott,,
the supervisor of letter carriers in
London, has been spending some
tinie at the local post office for the
Post Office Department to lay out
the routes for the new letter carrier
service.
Mr. . Southcott conferred with
Mayor C. W. Riley, about some of
the conditions required for mail ’de
livery. It is required, he said, that
the delivery, as much as possible,
will be on streets which have side
walks or paved thoroughfares. The
streets must be named and the
houses numbered, he also stated.
Complete information about the
service to be given in Ingersoll will
be forwarded to the department in
Ottawa by Mr. Southcott through the . there are people who hunt and nsh
district o...^v ■ ■■ ......
residents must have a street address, I
and they must also provide a letter
slot in the door for the safe delivery
of their mail. “Their mail should go
inside the house, where it will be
safe and dry,” said Mr. Southcott.
Apartment houses, where there are
three or more families, must have
government-approved letter boxes.
For this type of box, the letter car-
ier will have a master key to open
the box at the top for inserting the
mail, and the holder of the box will
have a key to get his mail from the
bottom of the box.
Mr. Southcott prepared maps of
the routes to be traversed by the
letter carriers. He ’ has driven over
these routes to ascertain their length
. ........„.i of the streets,
un vuuvu.ivnai .................. —. -I From his preliminary work, Mr.
ing primarily starts at school, people j Southcott thinks that Ingersoll willcontinue to learn as long as life •
lasts and the effects of such learning
radiates to the other fellow and
assists him in his efforts to make a
happier and better world.
The speaker cited many of the
taboos and superstitions that were
once looked upon as being true and
named a few countries, where super
stition still holds and rules the lives
of the population. To the club the
speaker advised that truth should be
the first objective, then abide by it
and train the life to act upon the
findings of truth.
In closing, Judge Ball stated that
all great projects had been started
by possibly what is considered a
lowly instrument. The first sods for
great buildings had been commenced
by the pressure of a shovel, and in
that start tremendous results had
been accomplished.
The speaker was introduced by
Lion John Robbins and an express
ion of thanks extended by Lion
Ken Ekins.
"The recent National Wild Life
Week was a week when we were
supposed to think about wild life and
the natural resources", stated D. N.
Omand of Toronto, who is a biologist
with the fish and wild life division of
the Ontario Department of Lands
and Forests, in addressing the regu
lar dinner meeting of the Kiwanis
Club of Ingersoll, in the St. Charles
Coffee Shoppe on Thursday evening.
The number of people who fish and
hunt for relaxation, he said, is simply
astounding.
“We are very fortunate in On
tario to have great areas of natural
resources," Mr, Omand said, explain
ing that the fish and wild life divis
ion has the responsibility of handling
the fish and wild life resources. He
said it is necessary to have enforce
ment officers because, unfortunately,

Mr. Omand said the loss of wild

omy of the country. The forest
country could not support the white
man who came in large numbers,
with the inevitable result that the
wild life declined. He said, “while
the Indian hunted to live, the de
partment was forced to place re
strictions upon the pleasure hunters
and fishermen.
The Kiwanis were told that the’

UNIQUE SOCIAL EVENING <
HELD IN 1.0.0. F. HALL | ;
An interesting gathering was held t
in the LO.O.F. Hall on Saturday <
evening, April 17th, when 45 mem- ]
bers of the Ontario Association of ,
the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, met j
for an evening of euchre and flinch. ,
These gatherings held once a month, (are chiefly for the purpose of pro
viding recreation for people who are
deaf, and in some cases, also dumb.
Lack of ability to hear and speak, ,
has not deprived these people of the
ability to enjoy games. Their meet
ings ar marked by a spirit of good
fellowship and keen competition.
Winner of the door prize was Mrs.
Cornfield of London.
In the euchre playing, Mr. G. Hil
ton, London, made the highest men’s
score; while Mrs. E. Fishbein, Lon
don, had the women’s highest. In
flinch, Mr. and ’Mrs. Cornfield, Lon
don, made highest scores for men
and women respectively. Travel
prizes were won by Stanley Young,
Galt and Mrs. G. Hilton.
Refreshments were served by the
social committee, of which Mr. and
Mrs. Merton McMurray, Ingersoll,
Were conveners.
An added purpose of the social
evenings is to raise funds for the
1 support of church services for deaf
' and dumb people, held the last Sun-
’ day of each month at the Y.M.C.A.,
1 Woodstock, at which ministers from
' London and Toronto preach in the
' sign language.
1 People from London, St. Thomas,

Stratford, attend these gatherings
’ held in Ingersoll, the next of which

1 Mr. and Mrs. Delmer Corsby, Moss-
• ley, in charge Of social arrange
ments.
Plans are being made for a bowl
ing tournament _to be held May 1st
in Kitchener,
require about five letter carriers.
The letter carriers will be assisted
by a driver with a truck, who will
take bundles of second-class mail to
strategic points on their routes and
deliver parcel post packages. The
proposed system will provide two
letter-carrier deliveries a day for
almost all of the residents of the
town, with probably one complete
delivery of first and second-class
mail to the mort outlying sections
of the town.
Postmaster Gibson states that
there are more than 900 boxes used
in .the post office now- by Ingersoll
residents for the receipt of their
mail. After the delivery system has
been commenced, probably within a
year, it is likely that the factories,
special organizations and some bus
iness firms will retain their boxes in
order to get their mail early in the
morning and more frequently dur
ing the day than they would from
the delivery system.
Efforts to have mail delivery
established in Ingersoll were begun
about two years ago by the Lions
Club of Inge.soll, when a petition
for it was taken to OttaUa on be
half of the club by K. R. Daniel,
M.P., who has given much assistance
to the Lions and other interested
organizations to have mail delivery
here. Mayor Riley and the membeys
of the town council, as well as-the
Ingersoll Chamber of Commerce,
also have been helping to have mail
delivery in Ingersoll.
The Post Office Department re
quires that the letter carriers will
have 2,000 calls to make, and it is
thought that there will be about this
number in Ingersoll. It is also re
quired that the post office must have
an annual stamp sale of $40,000.
For the year ending March 31,
1948, Postmaster Gibson reports a
sale of $40,189.79 in stamps.

Rev. F. Swackhammer
Anniversary Preacher
At Baptist Church
Large congregations attended
services at the Baptist Church
Sunday, to celebrate tire 90th anni- j
versary of the church. The services fwere conducted by the pastor, Rev. ,
J. M. Ward, with Rev. Frank Swack- ,
hammer of St. Thomas, son of Mr. ,
and Mrs. William Swackhammer of ,
Ingersoll, as guest preacher.
Two forceful sermons were deliv- ,
ered by Rev. Swackhammer, who ,
expressed pleasure at being! amongst
his old friends, and at occupying the
pulpit in the church that licensed
him as a minister of the Gospel.
With his morning subject,, "The Cer
tainty of His Love”, he spoke from
the text, "For I am persuaded that
neither life nor death - - - shall be
able to separate us from the love of
God”, (Romans 8:38-39). In the
evening, he spoke on “Jesus, Master
or Mascot?” the text being “Let this
mind be in you which was also in
Christ Jesus - - - made in the like
ness of men," (Phil. 2:5-6-7.) Both
sermons proved stimulating and
thought-provoking, and were greatly
appreciated by all who heard them.
Special music was rendered by the I
choir, directed by Mrs. Beatrice W.
McKinney, with Miss Edith Making
at the organ. Miss Greta French,
Windsor, ns guest soloist, sang
“Trust in Him”, (Hamblem), and
“Abide With Me", in the morning;
“Grant me Dear Lord”, in the even
ing. Keith Gcddie and his orchestra,
consisting of Miss Vera Thompson.
Harry Edmonds, Robert Jewett, vio
lins; Mrs. Nelson Noad, piano; Ernie
Rowland, trombone; assisted with
the music. Anthems rendered *®re:
Morning, "Father of Mercies”; even-I injp, “King All Glorious.” The ladies’
chorus gave “The Lost Chord”, beau
tifully. The evening service began
<with a song service led by Rev. F.
Swackhammer. A profusion of beau
tiful spring flowers and ferns adorn
ed the front of the pulpit.
Evening services at St Paul's
Presbyterian and at Trinity United
Churches were suspended, in order
that ytheir members might attend
servicie in the Baptist Church and
thus extend felicitations to this
congregation which has played a not
able part in the religious life of the
community.

The annual “Open House”, h<ld
at Victory Memorial School last Fri
day evening, attracted a large num
ber of visitors from the town and
surrounding district, who availed
themselves of the opportunity to
view the classrooms and chat with
teachers and in a measure to see the
school in operation.
Principal A. G. Murray and C. A.
Ackert, chairman of the Ingersoll
Public School Board, addressed the
gathering briefly and welcomed them
to the school. The teachers were in
their class rooms, ready to discuss
with the parents matters relating to
the pupils’ welfare.
The affair was less formal than
that of last year, with no arranged
program, the visitors being able to
go from room to room as their in
terest directed, and to linger as long
as they wished. From the comments
passed this was found to be highly
satisfactory by all.
The rooms had been made partic
ularly attractive by teachers and
students, and the whole atmosphere
was very enjoyable, the pupils tak
ing keen enjoyment in conducting
their friends about their school.
As usual, the craftswork doije by
the pupils received consideiable
attention and came in for unqualified
praise.
In the home economics depart
ment, supervised by Miss Fern Good
ison, the sewing and dressmaking
done by pupils from Thamesford and
Mount Elgin Continuation School as
well as from the Ingersoll Collegiate
Institute and Victory Memorial
School, had much of the appearacne
of that done by mature workers.
The visitors were also fascinated
by a display of textile weaving by
I Janet Cassidy,, Marilyn Smith. Jac-
' queline Sinclair, Nora Clark, Marie
Longfield.
A cooking demonstration in which
• a meal was prepared and served was
given by the following pupils of
’ Grade 10: Doreen Embury, Mar
garet MacMillan, , Evelyn Morgan,
■ Hazel Wilson, Pearl Wilson.
• Work in the manual training de
partment, comprising wood work
: and shop work, proved very interest-1 ing, many people expressing amaze-.
: ment at the ability in handling tools,
‘ displayed by the boys, under the in
struction of J. R. Cryderman.
Altogether the affair was felt to
1 have been an outstanding success,
• and the fact that the hour of depart
ure was later than formerly, would
indicate that the 600 people who
attended found it both an enjoyabla
and a profitable evening.
Acrobats were well-known among
the Romans and Greeks especially
for their feats on tight and slack
ropes.

The fair will feature exhibits by industries and
business firms of the town and the district, as well
as many from oth^r centres. The committee in
charge of the preparations for the fair hopes that
there will be at least IGO of these exhibits.
We would like to see every industry in Ingersoll
represented at the fair. lift our opinion Ingersoll is
one of the greatest industrial towns in the Domin
ion of Canada. We doubt very much if all the
citizens of the town and district realize how many
different industries there are located within it. If
every local industry could arrange to place an ex
hibit at the fair, we think that this feature of the
threc-day event, apart from the outstanding enter
tainment program, would be exceedingly interest
ing to the citizens,
There will be programs at the fair for the enter
tainment of the anticipated thousands of visitors.
One of the programs will be a horse show and harn
ess horse races, which will be presented on the Sat
urday afternoon. Everybody? loves to watch the
trotters and pacers race. This is a sport whiehjhas*-
gained immense popularity within the past decade.
While it has been a popular one as long as our old
est residents can recall, the improvements which
have been introduced to it within recent years have
attracted great numbers of fans to harness horse
racing.
/ The Kiwanis'^lub of Ingersoll, organized about
27 years ago, has made many valuable contribu
tions to the community. Last year it spent the sum
of $2,364 on crippled children and child welfare
work, all within the Ingersoll trading area. It pro
vided free skating, under supervision, for the chil
dren after school during the winter. Last summer,
the club had instructors and playground supervis
ors in the park. It sponsors a boys’ calf club, and it
maintains a Boy Scout troop. These are just a few
of the activities which the club carries on within
the community, for the health and happiness of th<^
boys and girls, and to help make this a better com
munity in which to live.
The Kiwanis Club members are giving freely of
their time and their services in community work.
All the money which they will realize from the in
dustrial fair will be spent by them in ■* crying out
community service work. What they have done in
tne past nnd what they will do in the future justi
fies the fullest support of every citizen of the town
and the surrounding district. We hope that every
body will plan to attend the industrial fair, where
they will find interesting industrial exhibits
and programs of excellent entertainment. We
also hope that the fair will have an exhibit from
every industry within the Ingersoll trading area,
as well as many from the business firms.
Ingersoll’s Citizens Will Welcome
The Delivery Of Mail To Their Homes
It appears that mail delivery for Ingersoll is
now* assured. A representative of the Post Office
Department was in Ingersoll last week to lay out
routes for the letter carriers. The system, how
ever, will not be introduced in the town for some
time yet.
The delivery of mail to the houses has been
sought in Ingersoll over a considerable period of
time. When it is begun, the citizens will appre
ciate the service and they will also be grateful to
the individuals and organizations which worked
for ity
Ingersoll has been well served by its postmaster
and his efficient staff. The citizens have always re
ceived courteous service, and their mail has been
handled promptly, often under difficult conditions.
Citizdns of Ingersoll will miss their daily walk
to the post office for their mail. Everybody likes
to receive mail, and there is always an undisplayed
eagerness when an inquiry for .mail is made at
the general delivery wickets or the boxe s are
opened. Too, the visits to the post office form a
social part of the life of the community. One
meets friends on the daily visit to the post office,
and the news of the town is exchanged in the
conversations. The post office h^s held an import
ant place in the community from its earliest davs.We welcome the beginning of plans for the
Introduction of a mail delivery system in Ingersoll.
We appreciate the work which is being done by
our postmaster and his staff in co-operating with
postal officials to arrange for the new svstem.As citizens, we should co-operate with them by
preparing letter slots or suitable receptacles for
the safe and dry receipt of our mail. Our mayor
and the members of our town council are pre
paring for the beginning of the new system, in the
completion of the numbering of the houses and
the erection of street signs. Until the sewerage
system is finished, we do not think that it will be
possible for the council to make much progress in
the paving of streets or the laying of sidewalks.
We are confident that the local postal officialsand the Post Office Department will receive full
co-operation in Ingersoll so that a mail delivery
system can be introduced here which will be efficient both for the citisens and for the department.
Tomorrow Is The Last Day If
We Have Put Off Filing The Returns
Tomorrow as almost every person knows, is
the last day for the filing of 1947 income tax re
turns. For the taxpayer who has had the taxes
deducted from his wages, the filing of the return
may involve no further payment. He may even
discover on completing his return that he has over
paid the government, and if he has he will have
the amount returned to him.
The filing of income tax returns by those who
have a considerable amount to pay is not so simple.
'These taxpayers must attach a cheque to their
returns.
Many delay the completing of their income tax
forms, looking upon it as a formiable task. The
Income Tax Department has greatly simplified the
returns for the average taxpayer, and once he sits
down to complete his form he finds that it can be
done much more quickly than he anticipated.
While none of us wants to pay high income
taxes, there are few who do not think that the
income tax is a fair method of obtaining money
for the needs of the country. The average tax
payer realizes that there is a great deal of work
to be done by the department in checking the re
turns, and he is not averse to the government
maintaining a staff sufficiently large to do this
work. But he docs not want to be taxed to carry
a larger staff than is necessary.
Income taxes are a barometer to the taxpayer
of the cost of running his country’s business.
More and more we are demanding services from
the government, and these cannot be provided for
us, however worthwhile they may be, without the
spending of money. The government’s spending
nfcney, we must realize, is derived solely from tax
ation.
Tomorrow will be a busy day for those who have
delayed the completion ar.d filing of their income
tax returns for 1947 until the last day!

What Others S3y :
Gamekeeper Needed
To anyone who has had the opportunity in thepast few years of watching American nunters returning over the border wun moose neaus as
tropines of their skill, it is not surprising tnat tneProvincial Government should be considering abun on moose hunting. The Ontario Legislaturecommitlee on fish and game recommends suchaction. They are asking tnat all killing of moose
shall cease until the survey now being completedof the whole wild life situation in Ontario is completed. This is a five-year survey which has still
three years to run. The committee recommendsalso tne prohibition of angling for trout duringthe spawning season. Tne open season for deerwould be left as it is.\\ bile it is recognized that game is one of our
strongest appeals to the American tourists, thefact is that some of these tourist-hunters’ violatehunting laws and do more harm than could ever
be repaid by the money they spend while in theNorth Country. For example, game overseers and
residents in Algoma have reported various violations. A small party will fish a score of lines offone small boat, they will string up a line of scores
of fish for a photograph and then throw back thedead fish they are not able to eat. One so-calledsportsman Mast year was found killing deer wiin amachine ^Bn which he fired from his yacht.Our assets as a vacation province are largelyfish and game. If we permit these assets to bedepleted by foolish and short-sighted persons- wereduce our future values. On the practical basis
of business we should provide greater protec.ionfor all our wild life until such time as we knowprecisely what we have in the way of such assets,how fast they are being reduced, and how best tomaintain or increase them. The Legislature wouldbe wise to follow the committee's recommendation.—London Free Press.
Town Planning For Aylmer
“Many citizens will welcome the news th^t a start
has been made on a town plan for Aylmer. It isundoubtedly a forward step and one that will putthe community in line with the others of Canada.A town without a plan is like a ship without arudder.
People nowadays don't want to build haphazardly. Some security for the future is required.The men and women who sink their life savings
into a home, big or small, want some assurancetha^ a glue works is not going to be erectedalongside their house. Proper town planning will
specify what types of buildings can be erected incertain localities and a proper plan will devotesome attention to the kind of construction. Theresult will be that property values will be established in localities.
In the late days of the 1947 town council it wasdecided that a competent town consultant beemployed to advise Aylmer what it needs in the
way of town planning. One of the first steps thatshould be be taken by this year's administrationis to implement the decision of the 1948 council.Someone who knows whereof he speaks should bebrought here to study the town and present a re
port on the local situation. That could be a costlyproposition. There is not much danger of the 1948council going over the dam in this respect; how-eve^ because it allowed but $500 for town planning ,and industrial committee purposes for thisyear.i This is an amount considerably less than acompetent town planner would require for feesand supplies. One small city expended $17,000.
Compare this to Aylmer’s token budget.Decision of the 1948 town council to pay thelegal fees involved in annexations of townshipproperty ought to be an incentive to the people ofthe surrounding township to become taxpayers ofAylmer. One worth-while task of this year’s planning committee, while awaiting a larger allotmentof money, could be to contact these ruralproperty owners and encourage theip to come intothe corporation of Aylmer. It is an offer theyshould not pass up considering that fire protectionis available along with water services and so on.—Aylmer Express.
War Buildings Frozen z
Although a number of municipalities have recently been in touch with War Assets with the intention of buying drill halls, aircraft hangers and
other wartime military buildings, information given in almost every case is that such structures arenot at present for sale. The fact is that Canada’s
defense forces cannot afford longer to remain inthe weakened post-war state of the past 18 months,under the present unsettled state of affairs. If Russia maintains the bellicose attitude that she has upto now exhibited, it is probable that many SecondGreat War training camps and establishments willcome in very handy to Canada's armed forces.—St.Marys Journal-Argus.
A film cutie lists the six masculine qualities sheexpects in a husband. Or husbands as we somehowfeel will prove to be the case.—Calgary Herald.

ARABELLA FAMILY ROSARY CRUSADEDIRECTOR SPEAKS HERE CULLODEN
As has been stated previously, the
purpose of this column is to relate, as
far as possible, the proprietorship of
the stores in town during the past
BO years. This is not an altogether
easy undertaking, for in many cases
the proprietors of the businesses
were not owners of the property.
The abstracts bear no record of their
tenancy. It is therefore necessary
for us to depentfVupon the memory,
which, being human, is not infallible.
Errors will creep in, regardless of
the effort made to avoid them.
The writer will consider it a fav
our if our friends will kindly draw
our attention to any errors, for this
is a sincere effort to have a correct
record of the places mentioned.
Following the Northway fire in
1917, that property remained idle
till 1929, when Kenneth R. Daniel
built two modern stores on it. W. A.
C. Forman occupies the north one,
with his "5c to $1.00 Store.” Lob-
lawjs' Groceteria is in the south side.
It was a coincidence that the next
three buildings should have bus-
Both masses
Rev. Father
In preparation for the family
Rosary crusade, which was begun on
Sunday, Rev. Father Patrick Peyton
of The Bronx, New York, of the

Wednesday morning,
were well attended.
Peyton celebrated the first mass at
6 o’clock, and the pastor of the
church, Rev. Father A. Fuerth, cele
brated the second Mass at 9 o'clock.
The crusade in the Diocese of
London is being directed by Rev.
Father Peyton at the request of His
Excellency, Bishop John T. Kidd,
D.D. The slogan for the crusade is
•‘The family that prays together,
stays together.”
Rev. Father Peyton, at the Masses
here on Wednesday last, spoke about
the Rosary. He told the story of his
own life. As a poor boy from Ire
land, he and his brother worked in
coal mines at Scranton Pa., when
both decided to enter the priesthood.

meeting were Mohawks, Thamesford,

faster and ipore interesting to watch.

Parents Warned AboutEpidemic of MeaslesIt appears that Oxford County is
due for an epidemic of measles,
states Dr. 0. C. Powers of Wood-
stock, the medisal officer of health
of the Oxford County and Ingersoll
Unit With this in mind,, parents
are advised that the disease is ser
ious especially in young children,
seven deaths attributed to measles
having recently occurred in one of
our large cities.. Place your child
under the care of your physician at
the first sign of illness.
Measles is one of the most readily
communicable of all infections. As a
cause of death, it rates high among
the acute fevers of children. Measles
is very constant in its symptoma
tology, practically all cases having a
catarrhal inflammation with cough,
watery eyes and discharging nose
with fever and a blotchy eruption
usually about the third day.
It'Is highly contagious during the
catarrhal stage, spread largely by
sneezing and coughing. The child
shows symptoms usually 10-14 days
after exposure beginning with
cough. Second attacks of measles do
occur but are rare. Complications
are common and serious. Pneumonia,
bronchitis and inflammation of the
ear are frequent and account fbr
practically 95 per cent of deaths.
The child should be isolated for
seven days from appearance of rash
or from 10-14 days from beginning
of the disease and reported by your
self or your doctor to the Health
Department <

A
I FOUNDATION SHRUBS
In foundation planting around ahomtf it should be remembered that
evergreens with their more definiteoutline tend to draw’ attention to theportion of the house near which they
are planted. Consequently they can
be used to good effect in emphasizing the best architectural featuresof the home. On the other hand,
deciduous shrubs do not draw theeye so definitely but have a moresoftening effect They should be
used for instance, to hide the less
attractive features such as a highconcrete foundation.

hours. An extra precaution for the
purification of the water will be a
chlorinating system. A vacuum
cleaning system will also be installed
to remove slime and any refuse that
may get into the pool, both on the
bottom and sides. Every precaution
is being given, The Tribune was
informed, for the health of all who
use the pool.
A further safeguard will be the
installation of an underwater light
ing system, which will enable the
bottom of the pool to be clearly
seen at all times.
Surrounding the pool will be a
12-foot walk, which will provide
much room for the bathers to relax.
No one wearing shoes will be permit
ted to pass a red line, this being a
safety measure to keep the walk
clean for the swimmers.
The pool is to be equipped with
two professional-type diving boards,
a high one and a low one, and space
will be left for a high diving tower,
if it is needed.
An attractive fence around the
I pools will make it impossible for the
users of the wading pool to enter the
swimming pool without going
through the entrance to it. Ample
accommodation is to be provided for
the parents of the children enjoying
the wading pool.
The bathhouse will include dress
ing rooms for women and girls on
one side and for men and boys on
the other side. The basket system
has been chosen, after much study,
as the most satisfactory method of
checking the clothing. A basket wiU
be given to each person in which to
place clothing, and this will be
checked in a cabinet and returned to
the owner upon the presentation of
an identifying check.
Before entering the swimming
pool, the swimmers will be required
to go to the shower baths first and
then to the medicinal foot bath, for
which warm water will be supplied
from the heating system, also for the
pool, if necessary. It was stated that
this rule will be strictly enforced,
from a hygienic view’point.
It was learned that the pool is
being constucted for the morale and ,
the physical welfare of the residents ,
of Ingersoll and the district who
wish to enjoy its use. <
Plans are being made for the 1
landscaping and beautifying of the
surroundings of the pool, as well as
for the parking of cars and bicycles.
It is hoped to have sufficient parking
space to avoid traffic congestions in
the vicinity of the pool.

The mechanic glanced at the bill,
shoved it into his pocket. The freck
les seemed to grow larger as his
face beamed. “You bet!” Then he
added. "I'll pick you up right out
side the main gate to the Smith
place. Ralph tells me you're staying
over there."
Reference to Kay’s young friend
reminded Johnny that he was still
awaiting her return.
“By the way,” he said, "where'd
they go?"
"Probably down to the corner tor
a coke. Want me to find them?"
“AU right."
He stcod there, looking at the
wrecked car as man hurried out of
the garage. As his footsteps died
away silence was heavy in the place.
Johnny had seen a mechanic’s
long gray jacket hanging on the
wall nearby. He quickly slipped Itover his clothes.] buttoned it, then I
located One of the flat, roller-skatescooters used for working under cars.
A moment later he was on his
back beneath the car, using his
heels to move the scooter from oneplace to another. His quick, sharp
’yes studied the chassis and under-
rame.
And when he came out from be-»ath trfe car, and replaced the jac-
t. his eyes were thoughtful. He

for a month I
He heard footsteps approaching
the garage, recognized Kay’s quick
steps, and went out to meet her.
“I’m sorry I missed Uncle Thom
as,’’ said the girl.
I “What hanpened?” asked Johnny
boat along the sweep of shore line.
“Hannah will have a flt becausewe’re late for dinner," she said. “But
I always go back this way—especial
ly at this time of day. It’s so peace-
ful."
The cigarette was flicked from
Johnny’s fingers and went skimmingout across the water. A gentle breeze
rumpled his thick dark hair. His
eyes were closed and his head rested
back against the cushions.
“You can drop the anchor If you
care to," he murmured drowsily.
It was fast becoming dark.
Her soft laughter was nice too.“You wouldn’t like it at night The
mosquitoes eat you up."
He heard the slight, swift-passing
singing sound, barely audible."Was that one of them? They
must be big."
“What did you say?"
He opened his eyes. The shore linewas perhaps fifty yards away. There
was no beach ajong this part of the
harbor, only heavy foliage that grew
up close and high at the water'sedge.
“I said—"
Johnny frowned, staring out across
the glass-smooth surface. Thein
screen between themselves and the
hidden marksman somewhere along
the shore.
Without a word, Johnny and the
shmly-built girl dived again, striking out under water. This time they
zigzagged to the left. Finally forfed
to come up for air again, Johnny
looked around swiftly. He thought itwas a useless thing
There was no telling from what
direction the shots had come. It was
like a marauder using a knife in thedark—silent and deadly.
Kay was swimming beside him. her
face white and strained. “What’ll
we do?"In the few moments since they
had left the boat, the dusk was al
ready deeper. This, Johnny thought,was to their advantage. It should
make the marksman’s target decep
tive.
Ahead of them, perhaps a quarterof a mile away, was the curving
white strip of beach that belonged
to the Smith estate. Kay saw tils
gaze dart that way.
“Can you make it?” she asked.
"I’ll try. Anyway, I’d rather drown
than die of lead poisoning,’* be told
her, grimly serious.
“Kill the engine! We’re a perfect target here in the boat! Swim!"
Baxrn.
She Indicated the small package
in her hand. “I had to get some
things at the drug store."
“I mean, what happened to
Ralph?"
"Oh, him," she said.“Then he’s not coming over to
night?"
Her head turned toward him for
an instant. "I didn't say—“
He grinned. "Puppy love's fun,
isn't it?”
“That's what he 1st" Kay said
with emphasis. "A big overgrownpuppy. He hasn’t any sense at alii”
Then she added heatedly, "I wishhe’d grow upl"
“He will, eventually, you know."
They walked back toward the
Northport dock. Little puffs of dustkicked up from their heels as they
cut across a parking lot adjoining
the wharf, where various types of
pleasure craft were tied up. The sunhad gone now; the dusk of early
evening was settling down Johnny
noted,, two spots of color in Kay’s
cheeks. Her eyes were turquoise inthe changing light.
The ladder was built alongside the
high dock, and Kay went down first.Her lithe, slim body was nimble as

when he dropped down into the

"It's, really a good thing you can
swim," he told her.
Kay- laughed. The seriousness was
gone from her amazing green eyesagain. She slid behind the wheel
and started the engine while Johnnycast off tie line. They eased out
from the high dock.
Above them, two men sitting with
their feet dangling over the dock
edge, waved. One held a fishing pole.
Kay waved back.The harbor was quiet as a mill
por J. Thouch daikiuss would :oon
settle down, the afterglow of day
light still made the distant shoreline picture-clear. It was a pleasant
scene. Johnny settled back in the
cu.hljns and passed the girl a cigarette.
“Thanks." she uiurmerrd.
They were moving at reducedKprcd. quietly, and the auf* riuob
of the motor was soothing. Johnny
thought riding like this tn a high-

"Something wrong?" Thfe girl
looked at him with curious .eyes."I don’t know—" f
This time it was closer. You couldhear wood splinter somewhere for
ward in the boat, near the waterline.
"What was that?" Kay asked♦ startled.
Johnny was tense now. As he
reached for the wheel, to guide the
craft harborward, he said, “Someone’s using a silenced rifle!"
I The ping of the silenced rifle, rip-
1 ping through the hull of the boat
and spattering wood splinters, wasnot a nice sound.I Johnny wrenched the steering
. wheel from Kay and swerved the
craft in a sharp curve toward themiddle of the bay.
i Fear leaped into the girl's eyes.
She swiftly fed the boat ga^. real

Johnny yelled above the motor’s
roar, "Kill the engine. We're a per

He thought Kay Smith had asplendid, alert brain.- She had cut
the switch, bent low, and was loos
ening her shoes even as Johnny
called the warning. He, too, had his
shoes off in an instant. He Jammed
them beneath his belt. The light
coat slid from his shoulders as he
followed the girl overboard.
Momentarily, the boat shielded
them from the shore. As the girl’shead popped to the surface almost
beside Johnny's, she cried, “Can you
swim?"“I hope so," he said, nnd dived
under again.
He remembered opening his eyesJust below the surface. He had a

to come to the surface again. Thepiri was beside him. treading water.
Both twisted their beads and looked
quickly behind them.

stages of swimming under water andpopping to the surface for breaths
of air. Soon it was dark, and he
knew the rifleman could not possib
ly see them now. Yet the beach
looked a terrific distance away,
Johnny thought. Though his trousers were light summer tropicals, he
considered loosening his belt and
kicking them off. They pulled at his
legs. But he remembered he wascarrying close to three hundred dol
lars in his pockets and decided
against it. Also, he didn’t want tolose his shoes.
It seemed that moments dragged
Into hours. Neither he nor the girl
spoke, both conserving all the breath
they could. Johnny was aware of
her labored breathing and knew
that, even though she was a good!
swimmer, the pulse beat of dangerhad robbed her of energy.
They kept swimming.
Darkness was black over the shorewhen his feet finally touched sand
beneath him. He stood up in shoul

like something encased in cement.The girl swayed against him and
clutched for his hand. He tried to
steady her.
Together they struggled towardshallow water, both panting with
exertion. Finally they were on the
hmd-packt'd, wet beach. Kay stum
bled forward until her feet touchedloose dry sand. Then she sank slow

nerved now, she started sobbing.
Johnny sat down beside her, put

and arms were trembling. “It’s . . .

"I know," Kay said. "I just . . ,can’t help it."

(To be continued)
Hello Homemakers! We have had
many requests for the directions to
make good homemade bread, after
the rise in the price of this item.
It has been a long time since we
maked bread, so home-to-mother we
went for the necessary- advice.
The first remark was: ‘‘At this
time of year, you should take par
ticular care to see that all cooking
materials are warm, also the ingred
ients. No drafts should cross the
sponge when it is rising, or, in fact, I
at any time. A little care makes all
the difference in the quality of the
finished product.”
Bread bakes better in a pan that
is not more than 3% inches deep.
The temperature given in the recipe
should be satisfactory, but may hvae
to be modified for best results. If
the oven is not as well insulated as
those in electric ranges, a higher
temperature (25 degrees), may be
necessary.
Compressed yeast or quick gran
ular yeast may be used interchange
ably. Grunnular yeast is less perish
able than compressed yeast and sir
is convenient for bread-makers who
do not market every day. The
amount of yeast may be adjusted
according to the convenience of the
cook. If you wish the dough to rise
in 4 hours or less, use 2 cakes for
each cup of liquid. As an inexperien
ced cook, you may prefer to use 1
cake with 1 cup of liquid for a 5 to
6 hours rising period. The new quick
acting yeasts are most successful,
especially if you use a quick light
kneading method.
Hard-wheat or bread flour is rec
ommended for breads, but all-pur
pose or family flour makes good
bread too. Use enriched flour or part
whole wheat flour for best nutritive
value and flavor. As mentioned pre
viously, flour should bo warm, but
not hot.
We use skim milk which produces
good colour and keeping quality com
pared to potato liquid or water.
Now the recipe for white bread

ume (2 hours or less), turn it onto
an unfloured board.. The dough may
be punched twice to let part of the I
gas escape and allowed to rise a se^-_
ond time before shaping the loaves.
Cut the dough into 2 parts for loaves.
Shape each piece into a smooth roll,
handling as little as possible. Place
each roll in a greased pan; flatten
the dough in the centre with the
back of the hand, which will push it
gently into the corners. Cover the
pans tightly with an inverted pan or
grease the top of the loaves with
melted fat to prevent the formation
of a crust Let the shaped dough rise
until it has doubled in volume
(about 1 hour.)
Place the pans in a hot electric
oven, 450 degs., until the surface
begins to brown (5 to 10 minutes);
reduce the temperature to moderate.
350 degs., and finish baking. The
total baking time should be 45 to
60 minutes. Remove the loaves from
the pans and cool on wire racks.

WHITE BREAD
3 tbsps. sugar
2 tbsps. fat
2 tbsps. salt
4 cups scalded milk
2 yeast cakes
12 cups enriched flour.
Place the sugar, fat and salt in a
large bowl; add the scalded milk;
cool until lukewarm. Crumble the
yeast into lukewarm mixture. Add
about 4 cups of flour and stir vig
orously with a wooden spoon. Add
flour gradually, using just enough
to form a dough which will not cling
to the bowl. Turn out the dough
onto a board which has been coated
with a thin layer of flour (not more
than 1-4 cup). Scrape the dough
from the bowl with a spatula. Let
the dough stand for 10 minutes; it
will be easier to knead. Knead the
dough with floured hands for 5 to 10
minutes, adding flour in small quan
tities until the dough no longer
sticks to the board. The dough feels
smooth and resistant to the pressure
of the hands when sufficiently
kneaded.
To knead, first shape the dough
into a rough mound on a lightly-
floured board. With the fingers and
palms resting lightly on the dough
dray the dough a little forward, then
press gently down and backward
with the palms. Give the dough a
quarter turn and repeat the motions.
After 20 kneads, cut with sharp
knife and if the air cells are fine
and even, that should be enough.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1948 Page 9King’s Daughters Banquet
Outstanding Success
An interesting gathering was held
on Thursday evening in the Sunday
schoolroom of the Ingersoll Baptist
Church, when the three Ingersoll
circles of the King's Daughters, the
Welcome, the Missionary, and the
Ora Circle, held a banquet attend
ed by approximately 90, at which the
guest of honor was^lrs. Leslie Cole
of Aylmer, the provincial president
of the King's Daughters. Also pres
ent for the occasion was Mrs. Arthur
Brumpton of Tillsonburg. the pro
vincial secretary.
The tables were very pretty with
daffodils, lighted ivory tapers, and
purple streamers. A bouquet of
snapdragons in white and purple
(The King's Daughters' colors), cen
tred the head table, at which were
seated: Mrs. Cole, Mrs. R. A. Pater
son, Mrs. J. H. Naneekivell, Mrs.
Brumpton, Mrs. W. L. Thurtell, Mrs.
Gordon W. Pittock, Mrs. J. M. Ward*
Mrs. R. B. Hutt, Miss Jean Borland,
Mrs. Edgar Wessenger, and Mrs. D.
A. Bonesteel.
Following the singing of grace,
and a toast to the King, a sumptuous
moal was served by the Women’s As
sociation, convened by the president,
Mrs. Cecil Smith.
During the meal, Joan Markham
and Fred Galpin rendered piano}
solos very acceptably, and Mrs. E. J.
Chisholm delighted all with a beauti
ful vocal solo. Mrs. Chisholm, as
sisted by Mrs. Basil Wilson and Mrs.
J. J. McLeod, also led a short song
period. i
Mrs. Wessenger thanked the W.A.
members for the deliciouh meal,
Mrs. Smith making a suitable ac
knowledgement.
Mrs. Pittock, the leader of the Ora
Circle acting as chairman of the eve
ning, welcomed the guests, and ex
pressed pleasure at having Mrs. Cole
and Mrs. Brumpton with them. She
called on Mrs. J. H. Naneekivell to
give a short sketch of the senior
King's Daughters' Circle in Inger
soll. the Welcome Circle, of which
Mrs. Naneekivell is a past president.
She told of a group of 10 women,
who, in 1S89, organized for work
among the poor and needy in the
town. Some of the early members
mentioned were: Mrs. Shrapnel and
her daughter, Mrs. J. Smythe Kerr,
(Mrs. Hebson, Mrs. A. MacAulay,
Mrs. J. McArter, all of whom have
passed on. Mrs. Naneekivell also
named the following who had render
ed faithful service to the Circle and
who were present at the gathering:
Mrs. Ben Russell, a member for 45
years: Mrs. Phoebe Richardson, the
only life member in IngeYsoll; Mrs.
N. J. Daniel. Mrs. W. E. Noad, Miss
Alma Huntley. The Circle is now
raising funds to furnish a room in
the new hospital.
Following the sketch given by Mrs.
Naneekivell. Mrs. Wessenger, as
president, introduced the officers of
the Welcome Circle)
Mrs. R. B. Hutt, as treasurer, gave
the history of the Missionary Circle,
organized in 1890 by Miss Mary
Dundas (Mrs. J. Anderson Coulter)
and Miss Nellie McKellar (Mrs.
Alex. McCarter, now residing in
Vancouver), tinder the leadership of
Mr.-. W. K't Sumner. This Circle, or
iginally composed of young women,
for religious work among the needy,
for some years conducted a Sunday
school at Centreville, to which they
walked each Sunday. They also
taught reading, writing, and sewing
at an industrial school, held on Sat
urday afternoons. The scope of their
endeavors has since extended to
rendering various forms of assist
ance, wherever and whenever need
ed. The officers of the Circle were
introduced by their president, Mrs.
W. L. Thurtell.
The history of the Ora Circle,
since its organization in 1933, was
related by Miss Jean Borland, a
charter member. This circle works
chiefly for the nursery at Alexandra
Hospital, but it also renders assist
ance to needy mothers and children.
Mrs. Pittock introduced the officers.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. R. A. Paterson, who extended
greetings to all and commended the
circles for their praiseworthy efforts.
Mrs. Cole, in her opening remarks,
expressed pleasure at being in In
gersoll, where the fine traditions of
the King’s Daughters have been so
well exemplified for many years. She
gave a very interesting account of
the 18th annual convention of the
International Order of the Kind's
Daughters and Sons, held from April
4th to 9th in Miami, Fla., and at
which she was one of four Canadian
delegates. Mrs. Cole’s audience lis
tened with rapt attention as she
told of that gathering of 228 dele
gates, and nearly as many other in
terested attendants, at which the
work of the great organization was
reviewed; work which renders aid to
many types of needy persons, such as
the aged and unfortunate, Indians,
colored people, epileptics, ^udents
ind young people in need of guid
ance, the sick and the blind. She also
stressed the need for preservation of
Christian principles in all walks of
life, a matter which was the cause of
great concern at the convention,
when all King’s Daughters were urg
ed to exert moral pressure against
any isms that would undermine
Christian influences in the world.
The audience was given personal
glimpses of the leaders in the organ
ization; those who led discussions at
the convention and who presented
reports of the work being done by
groups of faithful workers scattered
throughout this continent, and of
which the three Ingersoll groups are
a worthy section—all serving as
daughters of the heavenly King.
Mrs. Cole remarked that although
she had endeavored td'convey to her
listeners some of the inspiration that
she had gained as their represent
ative at the convention, by the pleas
ant gathering of Thursday evening,
and by the zeal and enthusiasm in
evidence there, she herself. had had
an enriching experience, for which
'she was grateful.
In closing, the speaker quoted
from a poem, in which the three
requisites for a strong, free nation
were noted as: bright and happy
homes; ready service to one's fellow
men; well-worn paths to the sanc
tuary.
Mrs. William Worth expressed the
thanks of the gathering to Mrs. Cole
for her very fine jmddress. Mrs.
Brumpton, as Provincial Secretary,
also spoke briefly, in praise of the
work done by the King’s Daughters
in Ingersoll, adding a few secretar
ial instructions.
The meeting closed with the sing
ing of “O Canada.’’

Father A. Fuerth, addressed the cru-
sad6 workers. Mr. McDermott and his

Mayor Ralph Steele of Chatham,
addressed a public meeting in the
town hall on Thursday evening,
when he spoke on ’'Municipal
Affairs." The meeting, attended by a
representative group of citizens,
was sponsored by the Ratepayers*
Association, the Chamber of Com
merce, and the town council. The
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, R. A. Stone, presided.
Mr. Stone commended the form
ation of the Ratepayers’ Associa
tion. He said the feeling is growing
in Ingersoll that more interest
should be manifested by the citizens
in municipal affairs. He urged a
greater spirit of co-operation within
the community and he said that the
citizens should be willing to devote
some time and service for its wel
fare and improvement. Mr. Stone
spoke of the increased expenditures
in the town, and he also stated that
much should be done to advance the
interests of Ingersoll.
Mayor C. W. Riley introduced
Mayor Steele of Chfftham, stating
that the latter is now serving his
fourth term as mayor of that city.
Chatham, he said, has made immense
progress in an industrial way under
the leadership of Mayor Steele.
Ingersoll’ is now spending a large
amount of money for the installa
tion of a sanitary sewerage system,
and it was Mayor Riley's opinion
that this town will be in a position ,
to attract industries upon its com
pletion.
Mayor Steele, expressing pleasure
on being invited to address the
meeting, remarked that he would
leave Ingersoll with some helpful
ideas. He was pleased to note that i
the meeting had been arranged co-I
operatively by several community,
organizations.
The importance of individual re
sponsibility by every raetpayer was
urged by Mayor Steele for greater
strides and advancement in munici
pal affairs. In this respect the
speaker said every citizen could
make an important contribution.
The speaker dealt with city
manager government and industrial
promotion. He said he was not pre
pared to analyze Ingersoll problems
nor to prescribe in any way for ex
isting conditions, but he would be
glad to impart sugestions that might
prove to be helpful.
It was mentioned that only two i
Ontario citie^ Niagara Falls and
Chatham, have city-manager admin
istrations. The idea, the speaker
said, came from the United States,
and it has also been adopted to some
extent in the West. The duties of
municipal officers under the city
manager system were outlined. He
saidPthat in order to have this sy
stem, special legislation is required.
Chatham has been under this system
since 1922 and personally .he said he
was quite pleased with it.
Members of the municipal council,
he said, are not in office perman
ently; they do not look ahead the
same as a city manager and prepare
for the future. The city manager,
if allowed, can see a great many
things that should be done, or pro
vision for them made. He does not
interfere with school affairs or with
public utility matters. He is the ex
ecutive of the municipality. It was
mentioned that under the system
there are dangers, some trouble may
arjse or the city manager igay be
overburdened with work. He men
tioned that-ft city manager is a tar
get for complaints and that it is a
wise precaution to have a very com
petent "complaint" c|erk.
Mayor Steele devoted some time
to dealing with the matter of indus
trial promotion. He said that while
he was very proud of Chatham’s
record, he did not come to Ingersoll
to boast. He was willing to tell of
what had been accomplished in his
city but not to boast. He mentioned
that there was a time when his city
was referred to as being the home of
persons retired. The situation had
been wholly changed. He told of the
establishment of an industrial bur
eau, the selection of a man for the
office and of the great progress that
had followed. "This man”, said the
speaker,” is the secret of the whole
development.” He told of Chatham’s
desire for industries, but he said in
dustries had to be sold the idea of
locating in Chatham. He outlined the
course that had been followed for
this development. An attractive and
interesting booklet, complete with
information on the city and district,
had been issued.
The speaker offered the advice,
"follow your natural advantages,
see what is required to meet your
conditions." This was the key to get
ting new industries. It also was em
phasized that efforts must be put I
forth to try and find industries that
wish to expand, and once they have
been found to give them the facts
honestly and fairly as they pertain
to the municipality.
with spring blossoms and lighted
tapers on Thursday afternoon, April
22nd, for the.annual spring tea, held
under the allspices of the Ladies’
Afternoon G^ild.
Guests were deceived by Mrs. Car
man J. Queen, wife of the rector,
and Mrs. T. W. McBeath, Guild pre
sident.
Ted was served at small tables in
the newly-decorated Women’s As
sembly room which with its soft
green walls and cream shaded cur
tains, formed a pleasant setting for
the tea table, with a handsome lace
cloth, silver appointments, pink
candles, and centred with a bowl of
spring flowers.
Presiding over the tea and coffee
cups were Mrs. P. E. Tuck, Mrs. C.
E. Shaw, Mrs. Victor Brooks and
Miss Kathleen Wood. Assisting in
looking after the guests were Mrs.
M. G. Billings, Mrs. C. W. Riley,
Mrs^ Frank Houghton, Misses Alice
Smith and Edyth Wood. Mrs. P. T.
Fleischer was in charge of the tea
room.
The home-cooking,ai!d fancy work

i goods were offered, were in charge
of Mrs. James Brewer and Mrs. H.
D. Batcheller.

ing. The address, he said, had done
much to stimulate interest and he
hoped it would continue to grow in
a practical manner for the develop
ment of the toacn. He moved a vote
of thanks to the speaker which was
heartily adopted.
It was the speaker’s opinion that
it was not easy to do this at the pres
ent time in view of existing condi
tions. However, he did offer the ad
vice that it is most important in
seeking new industries to have de
sirable sites that are immediately
available. He also mentioned other
essentials, such as desirable housing
accommodation and community ad
vantages. Where possible the speaker
deemed it advisable to have land in
advance for industrial sites and in
this way probably overcome the dif
ficulty of inflated prices.
The advantage of having small in
dustries rather than one or two
large plants also was emphasized by
Maylor Steele. In the event 'of a de
pression, he said the effect on the
municipality was not so great if
there are smaller plants. The
speaker also dealt with the import
ance of town planning and zoning.

APPETITE APPEAL
If your food is becoming tasteless,
and always seems to consist of the
same old thing, nutritionists suggest
i you try something new—fish, for in
stance. They suggest that Canadians
often overlook the fact that the pro
tein in fish is as good as it is in a
filet mignon or a hamburger. And
fish can be served in such a variety
of ways, so that it will not only
tempt the appetite but provide, as
well, for nutritional needs.

Event Calendar to
Simplify Work
A monthly meeting of the direct
orate of the Community Recreation
ComutiMion was held in the “Y".
Announcement was made that the
calendar set up some time ago for
the guidance of all organizations in
arranging for events, is now func
tioning and it is expected that it will
serve a very important purpose in
obviating conflicting dates.
The calendar as established by the
Commission is in the hands of the
vice-president, W. C. Watson and it
is urged that all organizations con
templating sponsoring events con
tact Mr. Watson before definitely
announcing their dates.
The full co-opcratioij of all ser
vice clubs and other organizations
in this respect should be to their
mutual advantage, it has been
stressed.
In all cases where information is
required as to open dates, Mr. Wat
son will be in a position to render
important assistance, and thus avoid
confusion that ordinarily might be
created.
With the assistance that Mr. Wat
son will be able to render it will be
possible for the senice clubs and
other organizations to maintain cal
endars of their own and thus greatly
simplify the work of arranging for
events from time to time.

" MY WEE K"
— by —
R. J, Deathman
We are a kindly people. I read
my paper this morning at an early
hour, there were some,stories which
Were sad, particularly those which
dealt with the inability of men to
meet their fellow-men as friends
and act accordingly. As an offset to
that, however, there were some
things which were hopeful. A
dispatch from London points out
that the Canada house mallard is at
it again. This duck laid eight eggs
on the Canada House roof last year
within the shadow of the Nelson
Monument in Trafalgar Square.
Its normal habitat is Duck’s
Island in St. James' Park but she
prefers the solitude of Canada
House Roof to lay her eggs and
Canada House takes kindly to this
friendly attitude. Last year in the
same effort she had four ducklings.
These had to be marched back.from
Ohnada House to Duck's Island, a
distance of about a quarter of a
mile, even though at times traffic
was held up to let them pass. I re
call the event. Several London.
papers reproduced pictures of the
scene—a duck, four ducklings, a
policeman guarding the little family
—who says the heart of England .
does not function in its accustomed >
tplace.
London. England, presents other
forms of amusement. On the same
page, on the same morning, there
was a story of a six year old deer,
owned by His Majesty, the King, no
less. It made a break for liberty,
though why it should leave the park
of the King for the comparatively
wild scenes of London streets is
more than I can tell but I suppose
even a deer wants a ‘helluva’ time
once in a while. It streaked past
startled business men, dodged
houses and trucks, out-ran the school
children who wanted to chase it. It
was the second escape for “Bill” He
eluded his keepers temporarily five
years ago when he was young. This
tale alas ends in a tragedy, “Bill''
broke his leg and had to be dis
patched.
great rejoicing in one Ottawa home
over the arrival of an eight ounce
daughter to Cindy—bless her can
ine heart! The newly born is said to
be extremely cute and cuddly—
have Just looked up the latter word
in my dictionary, "cuddly” is a per
fectly good English word. Every
body is happy—this includes,
“Cindy”, the pup, and all the other
members of the' house in which the
lady resides.• * •
Let us turn from these lighter
moments to an item which has a
note of seriousness in it. A Canadian
Press story pointed out recently
that the real cause of the scarcity
of butter is not the predatory rich,
nor vulgar speculation. It is due to
the fact that housewives—this may
include some members of the Con
sumers’ League—have been buying
a few extra pounds when the oppor
tunity offered. They expected a
scarcity and good housewives Natur
ally try to make provision for a
rainy day. If for a rainy one why
not for a butterless one and the
good ladies—bless their hearts—
dreamed not for a moment that they
were doing anything wrong or felt
that they were hoarders of butter.
The events I have here recorded
are trivial but the trivial things of
life are the things we remember. I
shall never forget driving through
Saskatchewan when the country
was sparsely settled—trying to catch
young ducks as they waddled away
to their real home, a neighboring
slough—I never quite managed it.
Wild rose bushes were so tall in a
little valley in Northern Saskat
chewan, not far from Prince Albert,
that they trailed into the old buck
board as I drove along a little used
road. I wonder if they are still
there? Then there was a night when
I slept on top of Grouse Mountain
near Vancouver and watched the
lights blinking from Vancouver to
the boundary and on July 1, 1905,
I met, for -the first time, and heard
the great Sir Wilfred Laurier on a
public platform. Ah, there was grace
and dignity and power of speech.
Later on I heard him many times
but that day, in Edmonton, is the
day 1 remember.

Now two for London, and one for
Ottawa. The Ottawa event was dis
cussed in the same paper. It was,
the accouchement of “Cindy.”
“Cindy” is a Manchester terrier—
the paper said so. It seems the nor
mal thing to expect in a family of
this breed is four or five pups but
"Cindy” is an aristocrat. It is
claimed that one in a family of this
kind is almost as rare as quintuplets
in ^he human race and so there is
ABOUT WRINKLES
Want a wrinkle to save you fromwrinkles? Well, according to Canadian, nutrition experts, dried fruitswill do it. Such edibles as dates,figs, raisins and currants are high infuel value, due to their low moisture
content und to their richness insugar. The dried fruits, too, containcalcium and iron. They can be usedto advantage in cooked foods to
add flavor as well as nutritive value.Prunes, which belong to this group,are good sources of vitamin A andB.

The speaker said many requests
are received for the restocking of
lakes and streams with hatchery
fish. He also said that two acres of
thickly grown cedar swamp will
support a pair of deer very com
fortably indefinitely. “We try to
arrange a hunting season to shoot
off the surplus, for our own pleas
ure and to attract tourists.”
Mr. Omand said a biologist was
placed at St. Williams recently to be
responsible for the distribution of
pheasants in the district.
The appreciation o£ the Kiwanians
for an interesting address was ex
pressed to Mr. Omand by R. A.
Odell. The speaker was introduced
by W. A. C. Forman.
F. H. Stone, the president, con
ducted the meeting, which was atten
ded by a large number of the club’s
members. Jack Morgan was at the
piano for the singing of Grace, and
after a toast to the King, proposed
by the president, the National An
them was sung. George Sutherland,
, a charter member and the president
• of the club in 1924, was welcomed
on his recovery from illness.
Guests included George Smith and
1 Les Taylor. Birthday greetings were
extended to Mayor C. W. Riley,
> (April 23rd); George Mason, (April
27th), and R. W. Green, (April
‘ 25th), following which “Happy
‘ Birthday”, was sung. A monthly re
port from the lieutenant-governor
of the district, Lloyd Riseborough,
was read by the president, which
showed that the local club is making
! excellent progress in all of the
Kiwanis activities.
The secretary, J. G. Montgomery,
read several communications. The
senior hockey team of the Ingersoll
Collegiate Institute thanked the club
for providing playing time in the
winter. George Sutherland thanked
1 the club for making him an honorary
- member. The members of the club
were invited to attend a Kiwanis*
service in a Hamilton church on Sun
day evening.
L. A. Westcott and R. A. Stone
paid fines to the treasurer, F. G.
Rich, for advertising the services of
their respective churches, United
and Anglican. The attendance rec
ords for the meeting were received
by Dr. L. W. Staples. J. C. Herbert
read an invitation from the Forest
City Club of London to attend an
inter-club meeting there on Mon
day. S. Wadsworth urged the mem
bers to attend the public meeting in
the town hall after the club’s
meeting. “We feel,” he said for thesponsoring organization of,the meet
ing, “that all of us do not show
enough interest in the welfare of
Ingersoll.”
A feature of the evening was the
celebration of the club's 27th birth
day anniversary. A beautiful birth
day cake, donated by B. Zurbrigg,
was brought in with 27 lighted
candles. Before the cake was cut, the
past presidents were aski»d to stand,
16 being present, and the club’s
members sang "Happy Birthday.”
The candles were blown out by Pre
sident Stone and the cake was cut
and enjoyed by the members.
H. I. Stewart urged the members
to sell tickets for the industrial fair
to be held in Victoria Park in June.
He announed that the club has been
divided into two teams, to be cap
tained by President Stone and Vice-
President W. L. Thurtell. Tribute
was paid by H. G. Small to Mr.
Westcott for his work in planning
the industrial fair. Mr. Westcott
presented a report for the crippled
children and child welfare commit
tee. “We are handling 12 cases at
present,” he said. He reported that
the club has spent $300.55, so far
this year, and that 17 trips have
been made to Toronto and London
clinics and hospitals. One child was
hospitalized for 12 days, and an
other child required a serious oper
ation. Stating that the doctors and
nurses give their time free, Mr.
Westcott said, “All doctors and nur
ses seem to have the spirit of char
ity and good will. They have the re
ligion of humanity. The thanks of all
citizens should
