session and emerged wih a new leader. Within
a month or so, they will again watch with inter
est the choosing of another party leader, this
time by the Progressive Conservatives.
While the government of our country could
be handled, in theory anyway, independently of
political parties—a county council, for example
—the majority of Canadians will concede that
better government results from the party system.
The party elected to form the government for
the management of the country is subjected tp
the constructive criticism of the opposition.
* The strength of the party depends upon the
leadership it is given. The leader is the man who
■will be the prime minister of Canada if his party
is elected at some time to form a government,
which is good reason for the interest taken by the
citizens in the selection of the leaders for the
two big parties. One could not say that any given
percentage of Canada’s population is of a certain
party, since the parties have been elected and
ousted at times. There are fewer staunch party
supporters today among the rank and file of the
electorate than there were in the past.
We think that Rt Hon. Louis Stephen St.
Laurent will prove to be an able leader of the
•Liberal party. Suceeding Prime Minister W. L.
Mackenzie King, who has been the leader of the
party for 29 years, he will become the prime
minister when Mr. King retires from that posi
tion also. Mr. St. Laurent, who comes from Que
bec, will bring to his new leadership an under
standing of the need for unity in Canada. If he
can weld the Canadians whose official language
is French and those who speak English into a
greater unity, he will have proved himself to be
a great statesman.
Prime Minister King has well earned a rest.
He has rendered a long period of service to
Canada. It is too soon to evaluate properly his
contrbiution to the development of Canada. With
the passing of time, historians will record the
worth of his service to the Dominion. However,
ardent an opponent one may be of his party, one
must admit that he has capably led the members
of the Liberal party or he would not have been
“returned as prime minister nor as leader of the
party so often. . •- - • - * • > ♦ ’
t The citizens of Canada will watch the selection
of a leader for the Progressive Conservatives
with much interest. They want to see a strong
leader chosen to guide the party. Both these old-
line parties have suffered somewhat of late in a
slackening of interest among the citizens. The
election of strong and capable statesmen to
guide them will do much to bring back that in
terest Upon the type of men chosert rests the
kind of government we are to have, as leaders of
the government and of the opposition. Also upon
the leaders is the responsibility for the mainten
ance for Canada of friendly relations .with all
the world.
It is gratifying to see the extent of interest
shown in the selection of the leaders of the two
parties. It might be a forerunner of increased
interest in all elections. Just as we need capable
men as leaders and as pafty members, we also
need men and women who will use theinl capabil
ities in the interest of public affairs, all the way
from municipal^puncils to the federal govern
ment
Ingersoll's Memorial Park Used
For Many Happy Family Reunions
The season most popularly chosen for the hol
ding of family picnics is just about over. Many
families hold their annual reunions during the
months of July and August This year the ideal
setting for the enjoyment of these reunions in
Ingersoll’s Memorial Park was used for a great
many of them, including some quite large ones.
A few family picnics have been held regularly
for a long time, but it is within more recent
years that the reunions have become recognized
as a part of community life. While the summer
is chosen for the majority of these happy events,
a few are held indoors during the other months
of the year. This type of reunion, of course, is
much larger than the family gatherings for the
celebration of Christmas Day, which is probably
-the most important family day of the year.
For the annual reunions, members of the fam
ilies come long distances. The automobile has
| THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUG. 19,1948..added much to family life, in making it possiblefor those who live far away to return once ayear. AU come with the anticipation of enjoyinga day together in the large family circle.The reunion dinner is always outstanding. Itis likely to feature roast chicken and there is a
bountiful supply of food in variety on the tables.
These picnics are planned long before the im
portant day, with committees at work planning
the meal and arranging for a program and sports
events.
Among the enjoyable parts of the reunions are
the reminiscences of the family history. There
are usually new members by marriage to meet,
and the babies born since the last reunion receive
their share of attention. The loss through death
of members is felt keenly, and it is customary
with many gatherings to pause for a moment in
tribute to their memory. There are officers to
be elected for the next reunion, so that it also
■will be well arranged.
In almost every reunion there is a goodly num
ber of people from the farms. Family reunions
may owe their origin to the farming community,
for it was a custom for many generations of
Canadians to gather at the “home place" occas
ionally. Indeed, numerous family reunions are
today still held there. And with farm people
attending the reunions, wherever they are held,
there is an urgency upon them to get home for
"chores". With the big meal at noon, light re
freshments are served around 5 o’clock, and the
family gathering disperses, some to go to farm
homes and others to their homes in cities and
towns.
The family reunions are a worth-while part of
the community life. They help to keep intact the
family connections, which, in succeeding genera
tions, tend to become separated. They also help
to preserve historical dates about the men and
women who have contributed greatly to this
country of ours, not only in its pioneering period
but to the present time, in war and in peace. In
the same ties that bind a family together, there
is a wholesome regard for good citizenship, and
the family reunions are unconsciously exerting
a beneficial influence upon our country.

Canadians and Newfoundlanders Will
Mutually Benefit From Union
When the Parliament of Canada approves the
federation of Newfoundland with the Dominion
of Canada early next spring, it will be a union
that will meet with the approval of the average
Canadian citizen. Many have felt for some time
that it would be to the mutual advantage of Can
ada and the oldest colony in the British Empire
to be united. In becoming the 10th province of
our Dominion, Newfoundlanders and ourselves
will benefit from a freer flow of trade, and new
vistas of tourist travelling will be opened, par
ticularly for the great majority of Canadians
who have never visited Newfoundland.

Weather Aa a Weapon
Uncle Sam is said to be looking into the pos
sibility of using weather as a weapon. Somehow
we feel that the old gentleman is too late. Somesubversive force or another has managed to getahead of him.
The last month has demonstrated this prettywell. Ask any farmer. What he will say to youabout the effectiveness of this “secret weapon”
will probably blister your ears. He has beenmocked by bountiful crops which it has beenextreme difficult—in some cases impossible—to
harvest
Even the humble office worker has a feelingthese humid days that someone—he can’t be surejust who—is using the weather to get him down.
The result of this deep-seated but unverified sus
picion is to make him deeply suspicious of everyone and to make his temper extremely brittle.If Uncle Whiskers can control the weather, he
undoubtedly has a major weapon. But if wordonce gets around that the Government is responsible for the weather, a revolution may be ex
pected any time—or it series of them—LondonFree Press.
Rev. Mr. Cookman, Methodist
clergyman at Salford, together with
Mrs. Cookman, were victims of a

in front of the farm of Thos.
Blatchford, third concession of
West Oxford. While watching a
threshing machine on the Blktch-
ford farm the horse became fright
ened at a drove of calves and bolt
ed to one side, carrying the buggy
and occupants into the. ditch/
throwing them out A doctor, who
had been called, found that Mrs.
Cookman had three broken ribs,
while Mr. Cookman’s face was
badly bruised.
Man Becomes Master
The belief in death is the very parent ofpride. And pride is a slavedriver. Serve pride
and it demands the more. Spread a table for itsfeasting and it will gain strength to ask more ofthat mortal who serves.
Pride is never content. It must exact much ofa man between his birth and death, or the enslaver has accomplished little for itself.
That human being who comes to realize thereis a resurrection, who learn there is a continuous rising out from the flesh into the spirit,senses a realm where there is no pride. His battleupward may be long in terms of hours and daysand years; but, if he be honest in following theinstructions set down in the Sermon on theMount, this human being will knoy that death isnot his heritage.With this understanding, he gains the power tocast off the^shackles of pride. He is no longer a
slave; he is master. He is an heir of that glory,where pride with its train of malice, revenge,jealouy, and envy ednnot enter.—Dayton Herald.
Grace in Receiving
“It's not easy to be at the receiving end,” writesa conscientious Briton in reference to MarshallPlan aid.Here is something .for Americans to consider.Professional drum beaters sometimes conjure upa picture of greedy Europeans dancing with triumphant glee over the booty they have torn from
hapless American taxpayers. Put against this another picture: Europeans who have prided themselves on their democratic independence reading
of prunes and powdered eggs shipped as Marshall
Plan aid, convoyed by rumors that the UnitedStates wilt insist on desocializing their countriesas the price of its charity.Then it will be seen that it takes grace to receive as well as to give.—Christian ScienceMonitor.

making- headway in the forests of
Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba.
These forests were centuries in the
making, They pass in a day and
those now living will never see them
again in all their glory.
In many trips east and west I
have watched these, trees, snugged
down under blankets of snow in
in winter, lovely in their lush beauty
in the summer, gorgeous in their
autumn foliage, bleak now in their
incomparable misery. What a
price the future will pay for the
tragedies of these years of care
lessness,
Can anything be done about it.
Oh yes, more fire towers to watch
incipient fires, roads to reach
through the fire areas and above
all a campaign to drive into the
minds 'of all those who go near
these forests that /it is a crime
against hOmanity to tolerate .even
the shadow\yk'a fire, unless per
fectly guarded.
Then why not something to re
place these burnt out areas? There
are thousands of acres in old On
tario, fit only for growing trees—
they should be turned into muni
cipal forests. There are spots along
every highway where a windbreak
of trees would be a great benefit
as a protection against drifts in
winter, a source of timber in future
years. Here and there are old
graveyards, long since abandoned.
They should be planted with maples
and elms, a monument far more fit
ting than marble to the great men,
the pioneers, who cleared the for
ests. Then going one step forward
why not in every township at
least a hundred acres of solid bush

But let me turn to a lighter mat
ter. Once years ago I roomed with
a young lawyer down on Beach
Ave., Vancouver, we decided one
Saturday to go up the river for a
trip, Agassiz or Harrison Hot
Springs. It’s so long ago I am not
quite sure which place it was. We
were young then, neither of us
was married until some years later.
I registered for both of us and be
fore the name of my friend I wrote
the abbreviation, “Rev.” Just be
fore I left I glanced over the hotel
register to see if I knew any of the
fresh arrivals and that room-mate
of mine had written after my name
these words, “and wife.” Yet he
was one of the finest men I ever
knew.

PLANT IRIS IN AUGUST
1 August is the. best month in which
to break up clumps of Iris whichhave become over-grown land reset c ’'them, or transplant some of the J P Z S
! rhizomes (the underground rootlikcstems) in other parts of the garden.
Only good sound rhizomes shouldbe saved and any that show signs ofrot should be discarded. Clumpswhich are badly overgrown or arein shady damp parts of the garden
are particularly susceptible to rotbecause of lack of sunshine.
Iris are not too particular aboutthe soil if it is well drained. Soilthat has been well fertilized for anearlier crop, with the addition of
bone meal, would prove excellent.
Shallow planting is recommended.The roots should bejnade as firm aspossible, but the thick fleshy part of
the rhizome should have very littleearth over it, especially if the soilis heavy.
I Iris like plenty of sunshine to
thoroughly' ripen the rhizomes, sochoose a good sunny apot iq the garden to plant them. The rhizomes are, inclined to heave during the winterand it is a good plan to firm them inthe soil in the early spring.
WATCH WATER
Although pure water lacks odor,color and taste, these alone do nob
Go, it’s notsafe to drink from springs andwells just because their water is
clear and palatable. Contaminated
water can harbor disease even morsthan impure milk. That is why Ca
nadian communities guard watersupplies so carefully and whydrinking water is checked conrtant-
ly on or trains, ships, and evenaboard airplanes. We don’t want todrink disease.

> MURDER I
FORGETFUL
CHAPTER XIU
SYNOPSIS:—John Saxon, private Investigator, and hla pardner Moe werehired by J. T. Smith to guard Irene,widow of hla murdered brother. Irenewas Buffering from amnesia and didnot recognize her family. Including herdaughter Kay. One night Irene became frightened and fainted. An Investigation brought nothing to light.John did determine that either NancyLondon, Bister of Irene, or Nick Walker, her friend, had lied to him. Thatnight he had a long visit with Nancy,who he was determined was upset andtrying to keep soma Information fromhim. He asked her If she was goingto marry Nick.
She stopped, eyes going sultry."Look, Mr. Johnny Saxon,, there's
nothing we want more than to have
all this unpleasant business cleared
up. It's a pretty horrible thing tosee your own sister walking around
her home and not recognizing us.
We're aU going through a nastystrain. As If Martin's murder weren’t
enough to have happen to us."
She got up and paced jerkily infront of him. Her eyes were blazing.
Johnny was astounded at this
change of events.
® "But Mr. Saxon," she continued,
“you can't go around prying Intolives like you've been trying to do.What Nick Walker is to me has
nothing to do with Irene and the
murder. I hope I make myself clear.Crystal clear.”
Johnny slowly got to his feet and,
frowning slightly, faced her.
"I'm sorry to hear all this. I don'tmuch like prying, as you said, into
lives. But it happens to be how Imake my bread and butter. There
has been a murder committed. The
police are satisfied it was done by a
highway robber. I don’t think that.Neither did T. J. Smith or he
wouldn't have hired me to digaround. And when a detective digsaround, people are bound to get
their toes stepped on. It's all part ofthe game. Your resenting it makes it
all the more difficult for everyone."
She dropped her eyes and turnedaway from him. There was a long
ish pause, then she said, almost
under her breath, “Please overlookwhat I said. I don't feel very well
I sunnose I just can’t drink brandy."
Then she turned and walked to
ward the stairs.
Johnny followed and went along
with her.
At the doorway to her room, theone next to Kay’s, he asked, "Are
you sure you're all right?” He won
dered why Kay had not come downstairs again. He could see a sliver
of light from beneath her door.
Nancy England started into herown room. “Will you please ask
Homer to stop by a moment before
' he retires?” She spoke slowly anddeliberately.
“Certainly," said Johnny.
She closed the door. He listeneda moment, then returned along thehallway. The butler’s tall, stiff figure
had just appeared at the landing.
"Everything's locked up. sir,” heannounced. “If there's nothing
“Miss England wants to see you,Homer.”
"Very well."
Johnny saw a frown In the man's
eyes as the butler turned and went
toward the woman's room.
Reaching the left wing leading to
his own room. Johnny paused u mo
ment. He heard Nancy's door open,then close again an Instant later.
Homer's unhurried footsteps * were
returning along the halt
The butler went down the frontStain again Johnny waited. In ■
moment the man^ppeared at the
top of the stain and swung righttoward Nancy England’s room. Inhis hand he carried a small package.
Johnny murmured aloud. “What'sthe matter with her."
Shortly the butler appeared againand started up the stain to his own
room. Johnny beard his door close.
Silence fell over the big house.
Before entering hla own room,Johnny Saxon stepped outside the
screened door at the end of the
wing. He stood on the balcony andlooked toward the bedroom windows
that faced on the porch. He checked
them off: Irene's, the nurse—Karen's, an empty guest room, Grand
poppa Smith's. AU were in darkness.It was cooler now. A slight breezeearns from the direction of the
Bound. Johnny wondered if that ex
plained the slight dampness in theair or if it were going to rain. Over
head. the night was dark and star-leas. He wondered if Steve, the
guard, was down them below any
place, keeping his aU-nlght mfl.
In their bedroom, Johnny found
the Great Dane stretched out on
the rug. The dog's ears stood erect
for a moment as he raised his headand watched Johnny Saxon come
into the room. Then, with a loud
sigh, the animal closed his eyes and
went back to sleep again.
Moe lay on one of the twin beds,
naked except for his blue-stripedshorts. A large, wet towel was
wrapped around his head. On the
table between the two beds a smallreading lamp gave Moe Martin's
.round face a cherubic appearance.
Like the Great Dane, Moe openedbaleful eyes as Johnny entered the
room. His eyes foUowed Johnny
across the room, but he did notbother to move his bead.
"What's wrong with you. pappy?"
Moe Martin groaned loudly. "Do
you feel the way I do?"
"Well, what with the heat and
my splendid confusion, I feel lust
dandy, pappy." Johnny sprawled ina chair, and kicked his shoes off
and loosened a soggy tie.
"What did you find out from themysterious Nancy England?” asked
Moe, staring straight up at the cell
money to find out who killed Cock
Robin and where the missing manu
script was hiding.
Johnny Saxon picked up a maga
zine beside him and hurled it at hispartner. “You'll Just fade away withdisappointment if that thing isn't
found, won't you. Cheer up, I think
It'll turn up. And when it does, we’llhave lots of the answers, I have the
feeling, it's the hinge of the whole
mystery."
Moe grunted from the bed.
Johnny wondered why Kay had
not come downstairs tonight. Hewas disappointed because he liked
talking to her. He liked her, in fact,
When he closed his eyes, he could
even see her face. And she was avery intelligent girl, too. And very,
very attractive. At this point he
couldn’t measure how much hehoped that it wouldn’t be her be
hind the Smith mystery. But it was
quite a lot
There was quiet in the room. The
heavy night heat hung in the air.The only sound was the mosquito
and the ruffling of Moe's magazine
pages. Johnny thought and thought
with his head sunk on his chest.
In his hand be carried a small package.
Ing. There was a mosquito quivering
around near the light and he wanted to keep track of it.
"Oh, a few things," Johnny said
with a grimace. “That woman is as
slippery as a fish. A neurotic of the
first water. She gave me Hall Columbia for ‘prying into lives.' What
does she think we're here for—the
food or something? I'm telling you,pappy, I rue the day I ever left off
punching a typewriter. I’ve never
seen such a crazy case in oil mylife. Better we should have stayed
in New York and chewed hamburgers."
Moe, still following the antics ofthe lone mosquito, gave a faint
whistle through closed teeth. "Bo
it’s come to that, eh boy? Well, Idon’t much blame you for being
pretty disgusted. We have certainly
got one sweet runaround. And thenthere's the missing manuscript ofIrene's. Dawgone it. I wish It wouldturn up.”
Johnny grinned at him suddenly.
He considered Moe the loneliestliterary agent In New York. He was
an emotional sponge, a person who
could lose himself in any nsrrn-Uve, no matter how bad. and wipe
his eyes when he finished, feeling
that he had just read a masterpiecew discovered a genius. Of course,
Moc would not have recognized tal
ent when he saw it But he’d keepon reading and reading Just the
same.
Johnny remembered one office
scene with Moe: he'd indicated apile of dust-covered manuscriptsthat were stacked against one wall
"Look at them." he said grimly."What did writing ever get me?"
And Moe had said brightly, "Youwere the biggest name in the de
tective field. You used to make fivehundred a week—"
"On good weeks," Johnny hadcorrected.. “And sometimes alx or
seven hundred. I lived up to every
penny I made In the pulps. I hadthe mistaken idea I was going to
last forever at it And then, when
I went broke, I came back like awhipped puppy to the private agen
cy business. At least I had alwaysmade a living out of that before I
started writing. I'm going to do itagain, too."
Moe looked up after a while."Johnny, why do you suppose NickWalker was trying to pump me likecrazy nil evening. AU the time I was
with him, he had the neatest littlequestions to bring up. They were
mostly about how much we know
about the case. As if we know anything. That's rich I"
"Yeah,” said Johnny, "that guy
puzzles me. too. But I know onething, though. Tonight he’s finally
worked up1 enough courage to have
it out with Nancy England It tookhim ten years but he did it."
Moe swung around on the bed. Hte
eyes were round and very wide
awake. "Have it out with her?"
*T told you I’d been working - said
Johnny. He wished the heat would
stop making his head spin in circles.He closed his eyes tightly a mo
ment. opened them again, and then
almost whispered. "I guess Nancy's
always been in love with him,"
"Nick Walker?”
"No, not Nick Walker
"But I thought_"
"I'm talking about Martin Smith.
Irene's husband. You know8-m-i-t-h ... the one who got him
self murdered. Remember?"
In his interest, Moe forgot theheat, even forgot that mosquito. He
stared at Johnny Saxon. "You mwin
Nancy loved Martin Smith? Her?"
Johnny nodded soberly. “And Nick
Walker has known it. Tonight he
worked up courage enough to tellher off. I guess he's known all along
that Nancy's been carrying the torch
for Martin Smith. That's why shehasn't married Walker. She doesn’tlove him.”
Moe shook hte head sadly. "Womenare sure funny."
"Neurotic women are worse," add.-
ed Johnny Saxon. "Only she’s smart.
She's never pulled any of her funny
EspedaJIy. Johnny Baxoo remembered that last remark, n didn't
look too promising. Here be was at
Moe got up off hte bed very slowly,
holding the wet towel around hlabead. He went Into the bathroom,
rinsed the towel out in cold water,wrapped it around hte heart iifra Bturban and came back <nd mu. gerv.
Uy on the edge of Ua bed.
He looked at Johny ttazughttaUxand frowned.
"My," be said eoftly, "but this plot

and that a truck was parked at theside of the street. Two cars hadpassed and when he turned out topass the parked truck another truckwas approaching and the cars thathad gone by him had stopped at the
intersection of Harris St. Although
he applied his brakes, he was un
able to avoid striking one of the
cars in the rear.
The accused maintained that he
had been driving slowly, about 25
miles per hour. Magistrate Groom
was of the opinion that the accused
should have seen the truck that was
approaching before turning out to
pass the one that was parked. He
imposed a fine of $5 and $1 costs,
or five days. The fine and costs
were paid.
William Govan of London plead
ed not guilty to a charge of careless
driving in Ingersoll on July 29th.
Provincial Constable Alsop gave
details of the circumstances under
which the accused’s car was travel
ling when he, saw it. He said it
was wandering from side to side on
Charles St East.
The accused said he had been
travelling from side to side in plac
es to avoid the holes in the street.
He considered the street in a bad
condition and maintained that jie
was not travelling more than 10 or
12 miles an hour. He further con
tended that had anyone sounded a
horn at any time he could easily
have turned into his proper course.
The information was given to the
court by the accused that it was the
first time in his career that his driv
ing had been questioned.
Magistrate Groom found him
guilty and imposed a fine of $10
and costs, a total of $26, or 15
days. Owing to the fact that Mr.
Govan is a traveller, the magistrate
said he would not mAke any ruling
regarding his driver’s permit.
Charged under section 205-A of
the Criminal Code with indecent
exposure, John Spittai of Ingersoll,
who was represented by W. R.
Marshall, K.C., will have his hear
ing in the county court in Wood-
stock. An adjournment was deem
ed advisable after the circumstanc
es were considered, and Magistrate
Groom emphasized that it would be
necessary to have a male steno
grapher to take down the evidence.
The accused was released on his
own bail of $50.

ALLOW SHEEP, LAMBEXPORTS TO U. S. A.Effective since Tuesday, August3, export permits are no longer
required for sheep and lambs going
to United States markets, nor for
mutton and lamb carcasses and the
various by-products associated with
them.
The reason for this change is
that there is no contract for the
shipment of mutton and lamb car
casses to Great Britain for the 1948-
49 production period, and since the
season of heavy marketings of both
sheep and lambs is near at hand,
it is desirable to give Canadian sheep
producers full access to the available
markets. Canadian and Unied
States wholesale prices of lamb car
casses have recently come very close
together, particularly in the east, if
Canadian prices are adjusted to al
low for freight and duty which must
be paid on shipments going to the
United States. The wholesale mut
ton price in the United States hasbeen slightly/higher than the Cana
dian price, bit as mutton is not con
sumed extevively in Canada, it isnot expected that Canadian consum
ers will ba/ greatly affected by the
change iypolicy.

r When a farmer starts to do a
. painting job around the farm, aa
. often aa not he discovers that the
> old paint brush has developed a
1 decided kink with hard turned-up
r bristles and is unworkable.
To salvage stiff old brushes,
. soaking overnight, preferably in
• turpentine, is a well-known prelim-
, inary. Gasoline is also effective.
* After the old paint has been soft-
. ened, .it should be scraped off with
a blunt knife or combed out with
;a steel comb or brush. If the first
soaking fails to remove the paint,
the process can be repeated. Shel
lac brushes should be cleaned with
alcohol, and whtiewash and calci
mine brushes with water.
After most of the accumulation
has been removed, the brush should
be scrubbed in warm water with a
mild laundry soap—never with a
sttrong soap. The excess water
should be shaken out and the brush
left to dry. The bristles should be
straightened out with a scrub brush
or comb before completely dry,
after which the brush should be
wrapped—not too tightly-in heavy
paper or cardboard to keep the
bristles straight If the brush is
dipped in paint before being fully
dried, the moisture will make the
brush, soft and listless.
When a brush is being used
every day, it should be filled with
paint, and wrapped overnight in
several thicknesses of paper, orsuspended in a can of water.\ If
used intermittently, it may be sus
pended in raw linseqd oil or kero
sene. If stored in turpentine, the
brush is likely to become hard. It
should never be allowed to rest on
the ends of the bristles for any
length of time, because it will be
come warped and the flow of paint
will be uneven. With a hole at the
end of the handle, a brush may be
suspended in the paint from a rod
or stick across the edges of the
can so that the bristles do not touch
the bottom. When put away for a
period of time, the brush should
be cleaned, thoroughly dried, and
stored with the bristles straight*

WIDOW ASKS WINDSOR’S
MAYOR TO FIND MATE -
Windsor—This is leap year and
it’s "lady’s choice."
So writes a 65-year-old widow to
Mayor Arthur J. Reaume.
She hasn’t any designs on Wind
sor’s mayor but she read news Mis
patches about the mayor’s reputa
tion as a lonely heart’s adjustor
and is seeking his aid to bring her',
in contact with someone who
"could care for me in a home of
our own.”
Mayor Reaume receives several
letters a day from person’s desiring
pen pals, but this is the first time
he has been approached directly as
a matchmaker.
The Ingersoll widow, who en
closed a stamped and self-address-
reply envelope, says she is consid
ered a "good cook,
and practical curse."
She can retire and live with her
children, says she, but she prefers
"a companion who has a comfort

Conservation Authority will be
among the T.V.A. group who, with
delegates from the 10 other On
tario Authorities, will tour the
Muskingum Conservancy District in
Ohio, September 27-October 1.
The tour was announced by T.V.
A. Secretary Watson H. Porter in
London. The trip was first propos
ed at a meeting of the Thames Val
ley Authority in June. The Inger
soll delegate, Gordon Pittock, plans
to join the group making the tour.
The Muskingum project of land
use, flood control, soil and water
conservation has been in operation
15 years. Because the district is
similar to southern Ontario in its
soil, climate and type of agricul
ture, the tour is expected to be
profitable for representatives on
Ontario Authorities engaged in or
embarking on conservation projects
of their own.

Petite, 18-year-old Marion Kipp,hazel-eyed Princeton beauty winner
of the 1947 Miss Oxford County
and Miss Western Ontario titles,
will seek the Miss Canada competi
tion at Hamilton this week, accord
ing to a Windsor report.
The curvaceous, five-foot-two
brunette, who, just over a year ago
won her first title at Thamesford,
has returned to her native Prince
ton, following completion of a bus
iness and secretarial course in
Windsor, one of the prizes which
accompanied the Miss Western
Ontario title.
A modelling course is now her
ambition and if she wins all-Can-
adian honors—and she feeh confi
dent—she intends to use the $3,000
prize money for that purpose.
With her victories at Thamesford
in the Oxford contest and at Wind
sor last September in the Western
Ontario competition, Miss Kipp col
lected an array of silverware, mem
entoes of the titles she captured.

TOBACCO EXPORT
POSITION RESTORED
Italy's 1947 tobacco crop of 143
million pounds was an all*time rec
ord and early reports indicate that,
as the 1948 acreage is equal to
that of 1947, this year’s production
may, with favourable weather con
ditions, exceed that of last year.
Before the war, with a yearly aver
age output of r . million pounds.
Italy was a not tobacco exporter
of 7.6 million pounds annually.
Due to a subsequent drop in pro
duction, the country imported in
1947 about 18 million pounds from
the U.S.A., 7.5 million from Bul
garia, Turkey and Greece, and 4.3
million from Latin-America; with
exports amounting to only three
million pounds. Italy became a net
importer of 26.8 million pounds of
tobacco. However, the record crop
in that year restored the export
position with a reported 15 million
pounds of leaf available for sale
abroad and only a very limited
quantity of Oriental-type tobacco
to be imported.

WIN FROM WOODSTOCK
WOODSTOCK — In a contest
marked with many hits and errors,
Ingersoll Legion paraded to a 19-11
vistory over Woodstock Branch 55
Club here, Saturday night. It was
the second win for Ingersoll and the
second loss for the local aggrega
tion.
Ingersoll jumped into a 4-0 lead
in the top half of the second frame
and were never threatened from
then on.
Although they smashed out 15
hits, 11 Woodstock errors aided
greatly in their cause, especially in
the six-run fifth when the latter er-
ered six times.
Butch Smith and Freddy Vale
shared the hurling duties for the
visitors, Hank Chambers and Bill
Thrower for the home team.
Scotty Fairservice, with four hits,
Payne and Furtney, with three each,
led the winners at the plate. Arv
