Construction of storage basins,as already commenced by theU.T.V.A., would help control flow .

Let’s Get Behind The “Y” Campaign
And Put It Well Over The Top!
Last week, the officials of the Y.M.-Y.W.C.A.
campaign announced that the returns from the
canvass for funds to operate the “Y” during the
coming year had reached a total of $6,282.20 in
cash and pledges. This falls short-of the object
ive, which was set at $7,500 by more than
$1,200.
The objective was carefully determined by
the campaign officials as the amount of money
which would be required to operate the activities
at the “Y” for the year. • Unless the objective is
reached, it is feared that the program and ser
vices planned for the “Y” will have to be cur
tailed.
Suggestions have been made by the 'campaign
officials on how the objective may yet be reach
ed. Those who have not contributed, either per
sonally or through their business, may mail their
contribution or take it to the “Y” building.
Those who have already contributed are asked
to reconsider their donation in the light of pres
ent circumstances and try to increase it. Organ
izations in the community, it is thought, may wish
to make a contribution, they might sponsor a
moneyraising activity on behalf of the cam
paign.
The campaign committee and the board, of
directors of the "Y” will sincerely appreciate
any activity which will help the "Y” to meet its
obligations this year and render a wholesome
and worthwhile service to the youth of the com
munity in the field of recreation, with Christian
emphasis.
Recreation, the "Y” officials explain, is more
than play or leisure-time activity. It must really
re-create those who participate. It must offer
change from the pressure of daily work and rou
tine, and it must satisfy the needs and interest
of the individual, and be free from compulsion.
It should include activities which allow for crea
tive expression, which increase knowledge and
which have cultural value.
With a deep understanding of these basic
needs, the “Y” builds its recreational program.
The "Y” with its Christian lay leadership and
unselfish volunteer service helps the individual
boy or girl, man or woman, to develop latent
potentialities and character.
We commend to the citizens of the town and
district the task of completing this worthy appeal.
The total objective is a small amount in com
parison to amounts which were given by the citi
zens during the recent war. Then wa were seek
ing to win the war - - now we are working to
promote peace and to develop from our youth the
kind of citizens who will help Canada to exert
. a powerful influence in the 'world for the perm
anency of peace. »
Ingersoll is fortunate to have a capable gen
eral secretary for its "Y” in the person of C.
Hamilton Gosse. He has the training to give
leadership in “Y” activities, and he has the abil
ity to win the friendships of the boys and girls.
Nevertheless, with all his capabilities, he cannot
make the “Y” a success and a useful organization •
to the community without the co-operation of all
the citizens. Funds are needed to pay his salary,
to maintain the building, and to finance the ac
tivities which are essential to a live "Y.”
We hope that there will be no occasion for the
reducing of the activities at the "Y” in the com
ing year. Instead, we are confident that the citi
zens of the town and district can get behind
this lagging campaign, and subscribe to it so
generously that the officials of the "Y” will find
it possible to increase the activities.
'ages to be Interested in a hobby. Hobbies can be(started at any age, but when they are begun by
Iboys and girls they bring enjoyment for their
lifetime.
Hobbies help one to enjoy leisure time. In this
‘.age, we have become accustomed to the short-
lened week for working. Many people are off work
'all day Saturday, and through the weeks they
have long evenings. Actually this extra time for
themselves often becomes boring, unless they
have some activity to claim their interest. It is
not uncommon for people with short working'
weeks, who earn good remuneration, to seek an
other job for Saturday. The extra time was
sought for leisure, but being unprepared for it
they do not know what to do when they have it.
A hobby gives a person something to do in
spare time. Hobbies can be pursued for the earn
ing of money as well as enjoyment, or they can
be just an enjoyable pastime. Hobbies help to
make healthier citizens and better workers, for
when they turn to their hobby in spare time they
lose the tension of the working day and they
work away leisurely and enjoyably.
Perhaps the time when a hobby stands a
person in good stead is in old age. With many
.working people nowadays enjoying the benefits of
pension plans, there is a greater number of men
and women able to retire comfortably from life
time occupations. These people look forward
with happy anticipation to their retirement, but
in numerous instances they soon feel out of place
with the world. Their friends are working and
cannot spend much time with them. They lack
the interest in life that a hobby would give, and
often one hears about people of retirement age
undertaking to begin a hobby. But it is much
better to have a hobby begun early in life, which
can be carried on with continued enjoyment
when the working years are over.
We hope that the planners of the hobby show
in Ingersoll will be rewarded with much success
for their efforts. We also hope that all the
hobbyists will help to make it a success, by en
tering its competitions. More important, how
ever, to all of us, we commend to those who have
no hobby to look around for some leisuretime
activity, so that they also can be competitors at
Ingersoll’s hobby show in 1949.
Ingersoll’s Chamber of Commerce
Merits Congratulations For Banquet
The president and the officers of the Ingersoll
Chamber of Commerce merit congratulations
for the splendid banquet meeting which was held
on Thursday evening. It was among the most
successful and enjoyable events of the year. Its
success was marked by a large attendance, almost
300.
A Chamber of Commerce is a community-build
ing organization. One of its aims is to secure in
dustries for a municipality, but too often this is
taken to be the sole function of the organiza
tion. It is quite evident that we in Ingersoll have
a Chamber of Commerce which is interested in
helping to make the community a better place in
which to live.
The banquet of last week provided an oppor-
ity for good fellowship! among the men of
Ingersoll and their neighbors in the district, also
a number from a further distance. It helped to
bring to the men a better understanding of what
the Thames Valley Authority is doing, but par
ticularly it brought to them, through the fluency
of the present minister of the Ontario Depart
ment of Education, information about what the
province is doing to promote conservation and
how it assists 13 river valley schemes, including
the Thames Valley Authority.
The Chamber of Commerce also was helping
to promote Ingersoll as a popular trading centre
in the holding of the banquet. While this thought
was probably not considered in the arrangements
for the banquet, it is, nevertheless, a fact that
events in Ingersoll to which residents of the sur
rounding district are invited do help to increase
the interest in the community as the centre of
a large and prosperous trading area.
Our appreciation goes to the officers of the
Ingersoll Chamber of Commerce for an enjoyable
banquet, and for the work this organization is
doing on behalf of the community throughout the
year.

Hobbies Help To Make Leisure
Time Pass More Enjoyably
Plans are being made for the holding of
another hobby show in Ingersoll early next sum
mer. Several citizens who have made preliminary
plans for the show state that there is much en
thusiasm being shown towards holding an
other one next year. Answered questionaires have
revealed that more than 550 are interested.
Next year, according to information received
by The Ingersoll Tribune, the show will be open
to the whole of Oxford County, and to all ages.
The citizens who met recently and decided to
hold* another hobby show are anticipating that the
Community Centre and the local service clubs
will again give their assistance with it
We wish the planners of the hobby show much
success. We commend them for beginning their
plans now, far in advance of the summery .days
when the show Is expected to be held. Buch a long
period gives sufficient time for careful planning
of a show that will be appreciated by the exhibi
tors and the public. It also provides s whole win
ter season for hobbyists to get ready for the
We feel that the citizens who an sponsoring
the plans for the show, as well as the organisa
tions which will co-operate and assist in arranging
for it, are doing a fine service to the community.

Thinking About A Town Manager
Man/ towns and cities in the United States
have been operating for years with a commission
form of government which employs a town man
ager ‘to operate municipal affairs on sound busi
ness principles. As Coun. J. J. McLaughlin in
dicated at the regular meeting of the town
council, the time seems ripe now for the rate
payers of^St. .Marys to give this idea some realhonest thought. Today with the press of business
on everyone, there are very fey capable individu
als "who have the time to devote much of their
ability or energies toward running the municipal
ity. Thus many things that could be done to make
muriicipal government more efficient are slurred
over, and'the municipality is the loser. With a
commission form of government and employment
of a 'town manager, the commissioners who are
elected would act in an advisory capacity bnly,
the manager being the person responsible for
seeing that the town’s business was conducted In
the most efficient manner and with the least
outlay. Such a plan would make for continuity in
planning and development of municipal expan
sion and enterprises, and the costs would prob-
. ably be more than covered by savings in expen
ditures elsewhere.—St. Marys Journal Argus.
' A Communist Victory
China today represents one of the most serious
trouble spots in the world. The Chinese Communists, aided and abetted by Russia, have capturedthe key city of Mukden in Manchuria and now
are in virtual control of that entire section ofnorthern China. The Nationalist armies are reported in retreat, a beaten and dispirited force.
Chiang Kai-Shek has lost prestige end many areeven suggesting that he should leave the country,for a year end allow other leaders to take over.The outcome demonstrates what a tragedy canhappen where Russian Communists are allowed to
infiltrate a country, as they did in China yeanago. Russia virtually sealed Manchuria’s fatewhen she marched into that province and strippedits industries bare a few days after the firstatomic bomb fell on Japan. It will require many
yean to undo the damage wrought by the. civil
war in China, to overthrow the Communists andto set up a new democratic regime in thatsprawling land.—Simcoe Reformer.

R. J. Deachman
There are times when I am wor
ried about the C.C.F. The leaders
of that great party have a ten
dency to see things upside down.
A mirage is interesting but not pro
fitable, even in a political sense.The , C.C.F.
with the C ___ ___„___
Labor. Mr. Mosher, the left wing,
of the C.C.F., represents labor.
Mr. Coldwell, the right wing, voices
the opinions of the farmers—of
some, but not all. Mr. Mosher wants
an increase in freight rates so that
the railways may pay higher wages.
Mr. Coldwell wants lower freight
rates while increasing wage rates.
If my memory serves me right Mr.
Coldwell wants the repeal of the
recent ruling whereby the railways
received a 21% increase in freight
rates. There has been an appeal
against the decision. There is at
the moment a big fight on freight
rates, the object is to hold freight
rates down while shoving wage
rates up.| It can’t be d6ne—with
out destroying the railways.
•Mr. Coldwell, however, would do
the same thing by indirection. He
would bonus the railways and
thereby enable them to provide
higher wages though how this
would help the people of Canada as 1
a whole is a moot point. These two
gentlemen ought to make a joint 1
statement so that the public may 1
find out how they manage to move . 1
in opposite directions without
ting further apart.
Price Control*
get-
Now let us consider the next
step. The C.C.F. is a firm believer
in price controls. It thinks that
they may be made to work. But
the increase in the price of farm
products has been the main cause
of the increase in price levels.
This follows not only in Canada
but in almost every country of
the world. In July last the whole
sale price of farm products, on
the basis of 1926 equals 100, had
risen to 147.3, fully and chiefly
manufactured products to 138.5.
There is another way of measur
ing this. We might take ns our base
or starting point the average of
the years 1935-39, but that was a
period of very low prices. If we
do this we would be presenting the
percentage change from a period
of low prices to a period of high ,
prices. On the other hand, 1926 .
was a normal year. It gives a more
reasonable comparison if we start ,
with the 1926 base. ,
No man who approaches that (

The deflationary movement when
j it comes will strike hardest at the
r farmer and basic producer. The
, price of farm products will fall
more rapidly than the price of
other products. Does Mr. Coldwell,
think that he can determine the
price level by his own fiat, sending
some down and some up—all for
his glory. The result of this per
formance if attempted will be a
wider distortion of prices than we
have yet encountered and the be
ginning of a depression.
Does Mr. Coldwell think that
the West would benefit by a re
duction in the price of farm pro
ducts or is he again calculating to
proride bonuses so as to enable
the farmer to get the price he now
gets while the consumer pays less
for the things he buys. Can Mr.
Coldwell help the farmer while
robbing him with one hand, paying
him bonuses with the other.
Inflation is far from desirable,
it carries with it great dangers but
we must not forget that, to at least
some sections of the population, it
gives a temporary advantage.
Debts were contracted by the far
mers in the old days when prices
were low and times were hard.
. Conditions have now improved, the
. price of farm products is higher
than at any other period in our
history with some exceptions in
the boom year, 1920.
Good prices have greatly im
proved the position of the farmer,
he has been able to reduce his
debts and has put himself in a bet
ter financial position than he has
ever been before. But Mr. Coldwell
must remember that declines in
prices begin with a drop in farm
products and raw materials gener
ally and that any attempt to force
down prices now might easily result
in a substantial downward price
trend in the market, resulting in
unemployment and much lower
prices for farm products.
The food problem throughout
the world is very serious. Aside
from the people of North America
and a few other countries there is a
world scarcity of food. Even if we
had enormous supplies those great
countries India, Japan, China, have
no products with which to pay for
tilings they need—at least none we
would be willing to accept. The
problems of the world are greater
'today than they have ever been in
any previous period of human his
tory. They call for the highest
human statesmanship but they
cannot be settled by flitting gayly
over the surface of things, they
call for fundamental remedies.

Page 6Engineer Gives Answers To Questions ;4'?.. ' \THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOV. 18,1948
Raised By Ingersoll Ratepayers’ Association
In the following report addressed*to the Mayor and Council of theTown of Ingersoll, the town’s Con
sulting Engineer gave a detailedexplanation on ' the construction
and financing of the new sewefagesystem. The report covered a number of topics which were dealt with
in substantially the following manner:nlfi
To the Mayor and Council of the
Town of Ingersoll:
Purpose of Report
This report is submitted for thepurpose of presenting the true factsin regard to a number of controversial questions that have beenbrought to our attention throughout
the construction period, and more
particularly by a recent article inthe press. , Statements have beenmade by certain persons on thesesubjects that are often misleadingand erroneous, and it is felt that aproper explanation should be madejfor your records and for the benefit of other interested parties.
Extent of Existing Contract*
The three contracts for sewerconstruction, A in the north section.
B in the central and east section,and C in the west section, coverall streets that were shown in full
lines on the final plans and that■were included in the form of tender. Future extensions were shown
as dotted lines in the final plansand were not included ip. the formof tender. All three contracts include the construction of house connections from the main sewers tothe property line. All main sewersincluded in the present contractshave now been completed, and any
streets which do not have sanitary,sewers at this time must be classified as future extensions.
Change* During Conitruction
Changes made in the final plans
during the construction periodwere of a minor natire and applied only to short < lengths ofstreets or to certain locations wherespecial problems wera'lencountered.
There was no change made fromthe final plans in the location ofthe two pumping stations or in the
method of design fifr conductingthe sewage to the Sc-----*
meat Plant. No. 1 Punat Thames Street bridjged to an undergrouibecause of its proximitiswimming pool whicl(
constructed at that tii^.
' pavement, baaed on unit prices submitted per square yard for different classes of pavement The totalamount bid and the actual amountpaid for main sewer constructionwere substantially- the same, sincerelatively few changes were made
in the design and the field measurements checked closely with the distances and depths given in the ten
der. The total amount paid forhouse service connections, however,increased due to an increase in thenumber installed, particularly forvacant lots and commercial establishments. The total amount paid forbreaking pavement also increased
over the amount given in the tender, mainly because many pavementthicknesses proved to be greater
than originally reported, thus placing the class of pavement in a higherunit price bracket for breaking.
Additional Tender Prices Not
Included in Original Total Sum Bid
Each of the three sewer contracts contains a bid sheet for additional items that were not included
in the total sum bid, but which wereto be paid for’ at these prices ifconditions required their use, and ifthe Contractor was ordered to supply them by the Engineer or In
spector. These items included thesupplying and placing of gravel forbottom or top of trench, the supplying and placing of timber in
trench which could not be removed;the supplying and placing of con-_______setvor P-P-* «un-
plying and installing of cottonbandages around joints of sewerpipe in wet locations, and excava
tion that is classified as rock. Alsoincluded in this section separatefrom the total sum bid for sewer
construction were the unit pricesbid per square yard for replacingthe various classes and thicknesses
of pavement.
■crete around sewer pipe; the sup-
for the Workmen’s CompensationBoard paid particular attention to
Ingersoll, as many as three Inspectors calling and reporting on thejobs in one day. The Contractorswere forced to provide ample timbering and to take every precaution, or else the Inspectors threatened to stop all work, because the
soil in Ingersoll was considered particularly dangerous for trench ex
cavation.Iif a great many cases the lumber could not be removed after itwas cut and driven in place, andwell braced both horizontally and
.across the trench. Any attempt toremoved it so it could be used overagain would have resulted in extreme danger to workmen andequipment, to damage to the newly
laid sewer or other existing underground piping, or to the pavementon the roadway above.
Timber so left in place was counted piece by piece and measured bythe Engineer, Inspector and Contractor’s Superintendent, and thecalculated amount of board feedpaid for at the unit price bid jaNthe contract, namely $150.00thousand board feet.The price the Contractorthe lumber, whether fromyard or from an outside

Cott of Pipe and Equipment
The Town of Ingersoll purchasedall sewer pipe and most of theequipment required for all contracts. In most cases the quotedprices were not fixed, but were
guaranteed only for a certain period or were to be governed by
prices prevailing at time of shipment. This also has been a contributing factor in adding to theincreased cost
Debenture Issues
The first debenture issue of$700,000 in 1947 was consideredadequate for most of the work cov
ered by the original tenders. It didnot provide for extensions such asWartime Housing or King Street
East Nor did it provide for thelarge increase .in the number of
house connections. The orqripal tenders, as previously exnhfifed, did

Attendance Officer John Wilfordreported that there had been nohome visita and no permits issuedfor the month of October,The board sanctioned by resolution a contribution of $10 to theLegion Poppy Fund in lieu of purchasing a wreath.
The shopwork committee was authorized to advertise in connectionwith night clasess and, in the event
of there being sufficient registrations, to carry them on.
A motion was adopted fixing the
salary of the caretaker of theThamesford Continuation School at$40 a month, effective from November 1.
Coisiderable information pertaining to the probable increase inattendance at the Ingersoll DistrictCollegiate Institute was given theboard at a regular meeting byPirncipal J. C. Herbert.
With the accommodation at thecollegiate taxed to capacity, thepercentage of increase for thenext eight years was expected tobe about 60 per cent.
At this rate of increase it wasconsidered apparent that 'immediatearrangements would have to be
made for greater accommodation.The actual increase at the colleg-'iate during the past five yean wassaid to be about 75 pupils and itwas estimated there would be an
addition 75 enrolled during thenext few years, bringing the totalenrollment considerably over the300 mark.It was mentioned this does notinclude pupils at present enrolled

where he was married. He thenwent to the United States, wherehe remained for four years. He re
turned to Toronto to start in business, opening the foundry known
as McIntyre & Taylor, Limited, in1889. He is still there, being thepresident of the firm which employs about 100 men.Mrs. Sacks is the former MinnieDenman, a daughter of Mr. andMrs. Job Denman. Her father wasemployed by the Noxon Company.

Mandatory Order By Department
of Health
When the question of installing asewerage system in Ingersoll wassubmitted to the ratepayers for a
vote it was Icarried by a substantial majority! and the estimatedexpenditure that was given in
1946 was $788,000. After tendersand quotations were received in1947 Council asked approval from
the Municipal Board for a $700,000Debenture Issue. The a ratepayerswere not asked to vote again on aMoney By-Law for this amount,since they had previously indicatedtheir acceptance of an even larger
expenditure. At this point the Ontario Department of Health issued aMandatory Order to the Town of
Ingersoll to construct a sanitarysewerage system and a sewagetreatment plant, as the conditions
in Ingersoll were considered highlyunsanitarv and a menace to thepublic health. No reference was
made in the Mandatory Order to thecontemplated or final expenditurerequired. The Municipal Board then
approved the $700,000 debentureissue without a further vote of theratepayers. . .Similarly, in 1948, the originalMandatory Order of the Departmentof Health still applied. It was nec
essary to obtain approval for afurther expenditure of $160,000,approximately $75,000 to pay for
paving over trenches and street resurfacing, and $85,000 to meet additional costs for sewers and the sew
age treatment plant. Again theBoard reasoned that the MandatoryOrder of the Department of Health
must be carried out as the systemwas not yet complete, and the workmust not be allowed to stop, or no
value or return would be realizedfrom all of the previous expenditure of $700,000. Accordingly, theBoard was unanimous in grantingits approval for a further debenture issue of $160,000.Under these circumstances it isdifficult to see how any other courseof action could have been carried
out other than the one adopted, andit is felt that the wishes r'majority of the ratepayers
been faithfully carried out.
Respectfully submitted,
R. V. ANDERSON,
Consulting Engineer.

the various streets, and these pricesremained .fixed, regardless of whatdifficulties were actually encoun
tered. Timbering was a separateitem paid for at a standard pricel if it had to be left ir> the trench.
No Contractor wants to us4 sheetpiling and other timber if he canavoid it, as it usually slows up the
work, increases the hazard and difficulty of pipe laying, and costs ofthe Contractor more in delays thanhe receives for the timber. When
timber can be removed from the
trench the Contractor receivesnothing for its use. When he is forced to use timber, however, and
leaves it in the trench, he is entit
led to be paid for it at the unitprice bid,
Cott of Gravel Used On Road*
The Contractor is obliged by. the *terms of his contract to maintainthe backfill in sewer trenches for aperiod of one year from the 'dateof completion and to replace, any
settlement during that period. . Torestore the roads to a passable condition he is allowed to charge for
the first 6 cubic,• yards of gravelused for every 100 foot lepgth of
at than for a concrete navement,i and the use of asphalt made it possible to apply pavements of decreas-■ ing thicknesses down to 2 inches.On many streets it was foundi that the existing pavement was so
, badly cracked and broken up that
(pavement replacement could not
stop at the edges of the trench, butthat a resurface layer had to be, carried all across the road fromcurb to curb. Hence the area ofpaving already done is many timesmore than that contemplated in theoriginal tenders, and the amountexpended is more than double the
sum originally provided.
Co*t of Repairing Trunk Sewer
In River Flat*
The concrete casing around the
18" and 15" sewers in the flats wasnot accepted by the Engineers inthe late Fall of 1947. Three separ
ate letters to the Contractor’s Superintendent are on file regardingthe standard of the work and warning him that if the lines failed topass the leakage test the easin;
would have to be replaced. Furtherinvestigations and . pumping testsconducted by the Engineer and In
spector gave added evidence thatthe line was not capable of keepingout flood water when it would be
submerged by the rising waters ofthe Thames River. The Contractorwas ordered to strip a portion of the
line for examination as soon as theground water conditions were favourable. This was done in the Sum
mer of 1948 and the subsequentdisclosure resulted in' the condemning of the entire line. The Contractor was required|to remove allbackfill from botlksifles of the 18"and 15" sewers aii the way from
the Treatment Plant to VictoriaStreet and an exacting specificationwas written governing the removalof the existing faulty concrete casing and its replacement with a mon
olithic square culvert type of concrete casing. The Engineers recom- ■mended to Council that the casing

The Sewage Treatment Plant
This plant is of the ActivatedSludge type with full digestion and 1
incorporates many features of most
modern design. It is capable ofproviding full treatment for a population of 7,000. It can be enlarged
to handle a population of 10,000 byincreasing the length of the primary and aeration tanks. This plant
is not designed to handle largevolumes of industrial wastes sincethese could easily add up to a flow
greater than that from the entiretown population.

statement of costs submitted by theContractor for this additional workshowed his loss to be $10,314.66after he had received payment forthe additional concrete.
Following a long illness, thedeath occurred in St. Joseph's Hospital London, on Monday night of' Evan D. MacKenzie. He was verywidely and favorably known, having spent most of his life in North

Alaska is a great country, CapLActon told the Lions. The namemeans a large country, and he said
Alaska has an area of 600,000square miles. In 1934, when he leftAlaska, the population was only70,000. CapL Acton said Alaskawas sold by Russia to the UnitedStates for $7,200,000. He spoke ofthe wealth obtained from it by theUnited States, including the taking
of $700,000,000 in gold from the .country, and a yearly average of .60,000,000 salmon from Alaskan
waters. Lumbering, he said, is abig industry, and the country ;
forms a strategic military base.He also told the Lions about thechoice furs which have gone to theUnited States from Alaska.
“During the six years that wawere there, it was only once below zero,” said CapL Acton, as hedescribed the climate of the landof the midnight sun. The bulk ofthe population lives in the southeastern part, and he said it is theJapanese current that keeps the
country njild. CapL Acton told theLions about the garden producewhich his parents grew in Alaska.
The coastline of Alaska is rug
ged, and the highest mountain onthe continent is in Alaska, MountMcKinley. Half the population is
white, and the others are chiefly
native Indians. He spoke about theintelligence of these people, alsoabout the task of the missionariesin overcoming their spirit of superstition. CapL Acton’s father wasin charge of the Salvation Armyfor all of Alaska.

Education week was opened ...Ingersoll on Sunday evening, witha service in Trinity United Church.
The Choral Society of the IngersollDistrict Collegiate. Institute led thesinging of the hymns, and the ser
vice was. attended by teachers andstudents .of the Collegiate, as wellas by members of the trustee board,
in spite of the rain, there was asplendid attendance.Rev. C. D. Daniel, the ministerof the church, welcomed the visitors for the inauguration of Edu
cation Week. The Scripture lesson,Proverbs 3:1-15, was read by J. C.Herbert, the principal of the Col
legiate. Mr. Herbert thanked theminister and the congregation for
arranging the service, and he announced that "open house” will beheld at the Collegiate on Fridayevening.During the prayer, Rev. Mr.Daniel prayed that the new prince
born to Phillip and Elizabethwould grow in wisdom and stature,and in favor with God and man.Rev. Mr. Daniel based his message on a verse from the lesson
read by Mr. Herbert, "(Happy isthat one who getteth understanding." Speaking about the appro
priateness of a service for Education Week, he said it was thechurch that gave education to the
world.
The speaker, who said he had notprepared his sermon with thethought of a new prince being born,
recalled a Grimes' fairy tale, in
which he told of a prince bom in
in the long ago and the coming ofa witch to cast a spell on the baby.Every child born, whether princeor pauper, said Rev. Mr. Daniel,has a social hereditary as a’ potentlife control. His sermon theme was"Education, a Fffiry Godmother,”and he said education comes to lift
the spell from the child.He addressed his sermon tothose who seek an education andto those who support education. Hesaid education ought not be a mere
acquisitiveness. Man can have greatmaterial things and yet be impoverished. Character, he said, must
come first. “An education helps youto understand others better,” Rev.
Mr. Daniel told the congregation.“It makes one socially efficient.”The belief is growing, he said, that
boys and girls who grow up inmind and not in soul are not properly educated.Harold A. Riddolls,' Mus.Bach.,the organist and choirleader, presided at the organ. The Choral So
ciety, under the direction of MissL. BL Dobson, sang two anthems,“Brother James’ Air”, (Marmosa),and “Fanis Angelicus”, (CesarFranck.) At the offertory, Mr. Rid-doils played, "Jesu, Joy of Man’s
Desiring.” (Bach.)
