THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC, 9,1948ing conditions, motorists should heed the suggest­ ions of the garages of Ingersoll in their adver­ tisements in The Ingersqll Tribune to have their cars "winterized.” The first consideration, of course, should be to have their cars placed in good mechanical condition for winter driving. Apart from the safety consideration, there is the necessity of making sure that the car will be » unlikely to stop on some lonely road, perhaps at night, with the thermometer registering below zero. At such a time, one has no enjoyment of the ruggedness of winter. Motorists should be more careful of^their own safety and that of the pedestrians when winter makes the streets and highways slippery. Cars do have an uncanny habit of skidding at the most unexpected times. The best of brakes will not stop them as quickly in winter as they do in sum­ mer when a child dashes across the street. So for good motoring in winter, we suggest a visit to the garage to have the car “winterized” for trouble-free and comfortable travelling, and then if it is driven carefully and courteously the hazards of winter driving will be greatly mini­ mized.

I The People of Great Britain Ara In Need of*Our Food Parcels In reading the reports of meetings of the town and district organizations in The Ingersoll Tri­ bune each week, it is gratifying to note that many of them are sending food parcels to Great Britain regularly. Despite their busy Christmas activities, these organizations are continuing to send the parcels amidst the preparations for the holiday season. It seems like an anomaly for us in Canada to- be sending food parcels to the mother country. We who have studied Canadian history are aware of all that Britain has sent to Canada. It makes us proud when we realize that our young na­ tion, having long since shed its -dependence, now looks to the United Kingdom as a fellow member with it of the British Commonwealth of Nations. The people of Britain are short on food sup­ plies. We know this because it has been told in the press, and because of the grateful letters which are received in appreciation for the par­ cels. We know it, too, from the lips of the people who have come from Britain to make their home here, and we also have the accounts brought back to us by Canadians who have visited the British Isles recently. \ We who live in the New World are very for­ tunate. We have plenty of everything in contrast to the serious shortages, especially of food, in the Old World. The sending of food parcels is not going to right the conditions that exist in the Old World. We do know, however, that the food * parcels are going to help sustain and encourage the people until their lands are productive again. It will require our assistance, as well as that of other nations, to help these people to till their soil so that it will yield food for them. We must help them also to develop an economic system so that they will have money in their parses to buy the products of ours and other lands. We can think of nothing that is more com­ mendable than the spirit which prompts the sen­ ding of the food parcels to Great Britain. Pack- ’ ed into the gift parcels is our love for the people of the Motherland and our homage to gallant people who are courageously struggling to erase physically and economically the scars of war. Into those parcels, we pack also our admiration for people who, though in need themselves of all that we can send, have their own heartstrings touched and share what they have with people of other lands. / Our parcels go across the ocean in humility. Many of us know from experience how hard it is to accept a helping hand, even in the midst of dire want. It is impossible for us to peer into the future, but it is possible that in a decade or so the tables might be turned when we would be on the receiving end. We laud the organizations which are sending the parcels regularly to Great Britain. We hope that they will be inspired by the spirit of broth­ erly love to continue sending them as long as there is a need, We also commend the individuals who are sending parcels. For the Christmas sea­ son, which is now so near, we can think of few better ways of expressing the thought of gift­ giving than by sending parcels ourselves, giving financial assistance to the various organizations,* er sending a donation to the United Emergency Fund for Britain. Officials of Arena Should Be Supported In Financing Of It Ingersoll is fortunate to have an arena. One can pick up the papers almost any day and read about the activities of some community towards securing an arena. Efforts are being made in some of the Centres to raise huge sums of money to build areans, which involve a great deal of work for the sponsoring organization. The local arena may not be as elaborate as some that are being built, but it serves its pur­ pose well. Judging from hockey interest in the town and district, it is going to be a busy place this coming winter. It has been stated by officials of the Recrea­ tional Centre that they hope to install a plant to provide it with an artificial ice surface. They also envision a time in the future when Ingersoll will have a new and modern arena. They do not anticipate these changes, however, for some time yet. The operation of the arena is an expensive undertaking. The officials endeavor to sponsor events in it through the year to assist in meeting the expenses, not the least of which is the cost of insurance. Much credit is due to the men who ' accept the responsibility of maintaining the arena for the use of the town and district It is a distinct advantage for the community to .have the arena, for it provides a greater opportunity for the enjoyment of skating and hockey than an open-air rink would, and it brings many people to our town. The arena meets a definite need in the com­ munity. Until such a time as we can see our way _ clear to financing the construction of a more modern building, we should do everything we can ‘ to keep the Recreational Centre in good condi­ tion. for skating and hockey. The officials are capable of supervising and maintaining the build­ ing if they have the money at their disposal. In some communities the financing of the arenas is looked upon as a responsibility of the municipal treasury. In fact, some centres are asking the people to vote on the issuance of de­ bentures to contruct arenas. It seems logical that sports should be a direct charge upon taxation, similar to education, parks, paved streets, lib­ raries, health services, etc. Sports activities are beneficial to health and they help to promote good citizenship. The people of the town and district can assist the officials of the arena in their financing prob­ lems by supporting the events they sponsor for the raising of funds. The renting of the arena for special events, when it is available, will also help to provide money to maintain it in good condition. Let us do all that we can to keep the arena we have until we see promising signs of a more elaborate structure. We can do this best by giving all the support we can to its officials.

BONDS NOW ON SALE / I a ■ Minimizing The Hazards of Winter Driving Conditions Hazardous driving conditions caused by slip­ pery streets and highways are an inevitable part of winter? The general custom in years gone by was to put the car in the garage for the winter, raise it pp on blocks to takfe the weight off the tires, and cover it over to protect it from dust Nowadays, most of the motorists keep their cars in use. The coming of the snow-covered roads is not welcomed now as it was when Old Dobbin was the chief means of transportation for short trips. Then snow on the roads meant happy cutter rides behind fast horses, and those cutters were open to the wind. It was cold riding, but it was refreshing and the riders returned with an exhil- arant spirit Today, we drive in closed cars where no draft of wind can get in, and we have heaters In the cars to make them as warm as our homes. We still get some fresh air from our car rides— going to and from the cars. One didn't have to worry about skiddiqg in the cutter days, and there was no need to carry » shovel to dig a way through snow. Ashes weren't saved then to put undqr a spinning wheel as they are now to give a stuck car tract­ ion. But we doubt if many of the people who look back to the cutter days as the good times would want to go back to them. They may lang for an occasional cutter ride, but think that moat W hat Others Say : j Do We Appreciate Music? That is a question being asked by a number oforganizations, in Aylmer at the present time, blankly, it is difficult to offer an answer or asolution to their problem. ■ Most people, including children, like good • music. Everyone is bound to agree that at sometime or another he has enjoyed a concert or aparticular selection, whether it is instrumental or vocal. ’ When it comes to staging a concert herethe big question mark hangs over the event untilit is over and the receipts are counted. Unless there has been a fairly substantial advance saleof tickets the venture is a financial flop.In recent yealrs there has been considerable ac­ tivity in Aylmer. No longer is it necessary to goout of town for entertainment. Some of the bestinstrumental and vocal artists in Canada have been and are continuing to be brought to thiscommunity. Some have appeared on local plat­forms in advance of their Toronto and New York presentations. Donna Grescoe of Winnipeg, forinstance, played her violin here and recently hasbeen starred with a famed Toronto concert or­ chestra. Aylmer and district people received for50 fents-what many Torontonians paid 82.50 and82 per seat. But why do we not pack the halls of the 'high school and the churches when theseartists are here? This scribe has concluded that those who spon­sor these outstanding events are careless. Theydo not consult the advertising notices in thisnewspaper. They do not consider other advancebookings and they don’t talk things over withthose in charge of the halls. The result is that there are too many attractions bunched on onedate or within a few days of a specific date. Thisi s what is known as a 50-cent town” by those en­ gaged in providing professional entertainment.That means that the average earner has 50 cents• a week each for himself, his wife, and elder chil­ dren for entertainment, whether it be the the­atre or another event These concerts should bebooked carefully. Perhaps a central registry atthe town office would assist—Aylmer Express.

JUNIORS HELD TEAM SCORELESS In spite of the previous defeat at St. Marys, the I.C.I. Junior Rugby team held the Red and White Squad to a scoreless tie at Victoria Park on Thursday afternoon. The whole game featured short passes and end runs for both teams, but towards the end of the game Ing­ ersoll started throwing long passes. At the kickoff the superb St. Marys' kicker, Holman, booted the pikskin over Ingersoll's deadline. In the last quarter, Douglas received a long pass which was beyond all St. i Marys’ players, but he was unable' to outrun the opponents to the goal line. In the first quarter Holman kicked the ball over Ingersoll’s deadline. Although a beautiful kick, it did not count as it passed over the deadline without touching an Ingersoll player. Michell plung­ ed many times for yards and made a few yards on an Ingersoll offside. A fumble lost yards for St. Marys, completed two passes, Douglas to ■ Kirwin and Turner to Mitchell. Kirwin intercepted a medium pass thrown by St. Marys' quarter to give Ingersoll the ball. Pittock ran fifty yards on a reverse, the stand­ out of this quarter. St Marys com­ pleted three passes all of which were good for first downs. In the third quarter, Mitchell’s kicking was off and one of his kicks was blocked. Beno, on Inger­ soll end blocked St Marys’ kick. In this quarter there were two football freaks. Mitchell tried to kick from behind his goaline and the ball hit the cross bar and had to be run out. The very next play St. Marys threw a pass which also hit one of tire goal posts and was deflected. In the last quarter Ingersoll turned on a strong passing attack and then kicked the ball over the St. Marys’ line. However, Holman playing heady football kicked it out. On the final play, the Blue and White lads tossed a long pass which intercepted by the star St. Marys’ player, Holman, as the final whistle blew. The starting line-ups were as foliowk: Ingersoll team—Snap, Pole; in­ sides, McKee, Williamson; middles, Petrie, Hooper; ends, Beno, Kir­ win; quarter, Douglas; flying wing, Montgomery; halves, Palanick, Mit­ chell, Galpin; subs, Redheads, Har­ ris, McBeth, Martinell, Pittock, Kir­ win, J.

For a few years, Mr. Millington had been amay from Ingersoll, re­ turning to this community recently. He was a faithful member of Trin­ ity United Church, in which he was an ardent worker and where he taught a Bible Class for a number of years.

Of rugby, he said most people go to a game to watch the ball. In this way, he remarked, they do not appreciate the technique of the game. “Shift your eyes down the field to the pass pattern,” he suggested. “See how the blocking is done on punts, and see what . ___ . kind of defense the other team is | grateful for the support shown by playing.” Mr. Fairs said- there is a lot more to appreciate in rugby than just following the ball. "Watch the lineman pulling out, and you will see and understand more about the game.” At the conclusion of his address Mr. Fairs answered a number of questions. Motion pictures of the play-off game in Toronto with the Univer­ sity of Toronto were then shown by Mr. Fairs, with Marrin Decker of the athletic administrative office at the University of Western On­ tario operating the {Aojector.

REAL PROGRESS “We do not grow rich as fast aswe think we do. The total netvolume of saving by all the in­habitants of a nation combined isfar less than is their gross volumeof saving, for while some personsare accumulating vast sums, othersare dissipating their wealth rapidly.It follows that there may be no net accumulative saving in a nation asa whole, despite the fact that manyof the citizens have saved dili­gently. “Even in the case of any partic­ular individual, grow saving mayfar exceed net saving. For ex­ample, if each month a man takes one third of his income and investsit in bonds, he ha« a relatively targe amount of gross accumulative sav­ ing to his credit, but if, during the year, the value of all the propertywhich he owns declines more thanthe total amount of income whichhe has saved, his net accumulativesaving for the year is negative—inother words, he experiences dis­ saving.—From “The Keys to Pros-| perity”, by Willford I. King. FAREWELL PARTY A number of friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Holden, Metcalfe St., to honor' the tatter’s brother, Pat Seally, prior to his departure for British Colum­ bia.
