The speaker outlined the devel­ opments in livestock breeding, and the new ideasyn housing and feed­ ing dairy herds, also speaking about the increased use of mach­ inery, all of which, he said, leads to the better utilization of man­ power. Too many people today are getting the idea that they have got to have a lot of money to go farming, Mr. Hart said. He tolf? the meeting that the situation is unchanged. “If you haven't capi­ tal”, he said, “you do the same as any other business man does and get your backing from some one else. The lack of capital should not deter a good man from going into the farming business.” Mr. Hart was thanked for his interesting address by P. M. De­ wan. Putnam W.M.S.

In so far as you succeed in losing your­self in the service of others, in thatmeasure will happiness come to . you,and you will reap a reward of bliss.—James Allen Let Us Make Sure That Santa Claus Misses No Homes On Christmas Eve There are only seven shopping days left be­ fore Christmas Day. To those who are all ready for Christmas, such a statement brings no alarm. We suppose that most of the shoppers still have some gifts to buy, also some of the things need­ ed for the Christmas feasting. Despite all the urgings to shop early, a good many of us wait until the last few days to look around for the gifts we want to buy. Perhaps we wait until close to Christmas Eve to do our shopping so that we will have more of the Christmas spirit As the Christmas season draws nearer, there is glnd spirit that seems to envelop each of us. It permeates everywhere. The spirit of happiness that prevails at the Christmas season comes down to us from that first Christmas in Bethlehem, almost 2,000 years ago. Wise men travelled from afar then with their precious gifts for the Babe in the manger, and down through the centuries the happiness of the Christmas celebration has been interwoven with the giving of gifts. Christmas is a kindly season. We are more kind then than at any other time of the year, and our thoughts of kindness extend even to the animals in our barns. We strive to spread hap­ piness about. It saddens us to learn of homes where Christmas Day is not celebrated in a happy spirit. Christmas is happier for us when we share our good things with those not so for­ tunate as we are. (We hope that there will be no homes in Ing­ ersoll and the district this Christmas where hap­ piness does not abound. In our community there are several organizations which are planning, as ’ they do each year, to provide some of the thingswhich make Christmas happy in the homes. ’Every citizen who knowis of any home yhere some help from'these organizations would change the prospects of a bleak Christmas into a happy one should let them know without delay. At this season, we can think of nothing more sorrowful than for any boys and girls to awaken on Christ­ mas morning and find that Santa Claus failed to come to their home during the night. The real happiness of Christmas, which is something very precious to have, comes to us s when we go beyond our immediate- gift-giving 2b circle. It is experienced when we reach out with 2? a gift for which we will not receive one in return, gf and when only we ourselves shall ever know M from where it came. Let us help to make this Christmas season happy for others and happier still for ourselves. w A Home and Schoo! Association W Could Render Useful Service Here • At the regular meeting of the Ingersoll Public 3 School Board last week, the principal of the ■ local schools, in his monthly report, stated he would like to see a Home and School Association formed in Ingersoll. He felt that such an organ­ ization would be beneficial to the community. Home and School Associations have been formed in, many communities, and the success of their operation indicates that they are meet­ ing a need in those centres. The associations have had a rapid growth, and they have an inter­ change of helpful ideas through provincial and national organizations. W.e think that it would be a fine thing for Ingersoll to have a Home and School Associa­ tion. There shoujd be a close relationship be- \ tween the home and the school, and one of the best ways to attain it is through an organization composed of the parents and the members of the teaching staffs. Both are mutually interested in the welfare of the boys and girls and in helping them to equip themselves for citizenship with a good education and good health. It is not the purpose of a Home and School Association to run the school, nor to interfere with its routine. And it is not a function of such an association to set itself up as a criticizing agency of the trustee board. Occasionally, there may be times when the offering of constructive criticism would be helpful to the board. The greatest benefit from the formation of an association will come to the parents. They will have opportunities to Jearn about the im­ provements which have been introduced in the elementary educational system. They will enjoy many social times together. Often th subjects for study at the meetings may be only Indirectly of interest to the schools. Far its meetings, the association would probably have addresses given by men and women of the town •nd district and some who are prominent in the various activities in the province. Some meetings, we note in press reports of other associations, feature discussions. The showing of educational films is another form of an interesting program. The parents and the teachers become better acquainted through a Home and School Assoeia- there arc any two groups in the nation who would be in close co-operation, they are the parents and the teachers. There are many things that an association can do to make im­ provements around the schools—things which are not usually provided out of the school taxes. Other aMociationa have greatly helped their schools, and we are quite sure than an associat­ ion in Ingersoll would soon find many ways to be of appreciated assistance to the^teaching staff and the boys and girls. We suggest that the parents think about the organizing in Ingersoll of a Home and School , Association. It would be very simple to effect an organization. The officials of Home and School Associations in other district centres would render assistance in getting a local asso­ ciation off to a good start. However, the first step necessary is an interested small group of parents here. Come Winter’s Blasts, We Know That The Days Will Begin To Lengthen After next Tuesday, the days will begin to lengthen out, imperceptibly at first, but by the time the 21st of June draws near we will have noticed the difference. But the longer days will bring us only an extended period of daylight and not more hours, as' might be wished for by those of us who find 24 hours too short a time in which to do all that we would like to. Tuesday will be the 21st of December, and on that day we remark, if we think about it, “This is the shortest day of the year.” It is not a day that we celebrate in any, but we note its approach from afar off as the darkness extends into the morning and creeps back again before many of us have completed our working day. Although the shortest day goes by with no more observance than a casual comment, it is a turning point for us. On the morrow, we know the daylight period of each day will begin to gradually increase. We have no over-anxiousness about a rapid widening of the space between the darkness of morning and evening, but we do have a quiet confidence that, day by day, we are moving along to the days of early sunrises and beautiful sunsets. So, come winter’s worst, we have a sure har­ binger of brighter days ahead. From the shortest day of the year, we can look to a horizon beyond the winter when there will be long, bright even­ ings again for gardening, for softball games, or what ever we choose. Do You Carve? For the benefit of fathers who may have tooperate on another turkey at Christmas dinner we set down a few pointers gleaned fromThanksgiving experience. The first rule is. Be nonchalant Disregard the family's heckling. You may feel like daring oneand all to try it themselves, but don’t make themistake of doing so. Junior may have been practicing in secret, as he did with the driving.It wouldn't strengthen your diplomatic positionto have him show you up, Besides, even if you aren’t really head of the family, sitting at thehead of the table helps preserve the appearance.As to systems: We belong to the pragmatic school. Plunge in and let the dressing and orn­aments fall where they wilL But if you hadtrouble that way on Thanksgiving you may wishto try a new theory which turns the bird on theside—facing the other way. This seems to usunnecessarily unorthodox. So does standing, but such a posture may give you more feeling ofbeing on top of the job. Our own prime secretis preliminary dismantling. Once you’ve pulled aleg and wing off—and if they won’t pull withvery little help from the knife you have a valid complaint against the cook—little remains butslicing.Of course, there are a few matters such as unearthing the combination to the dressing re­pository and discovering who wants dark and who*tvanta white, not to mention finding time to get a bit yourself before the second round be­gins. But if you can’t handle little things like that you’d better order Christmas dinner at arestaurant.—Christian Science Monitor. Aw, Pioneers! The frontier spirit seems to be in a worse waythan anyone had supposed. In the days of thecountry’s youth, it led men to clear vast forests,cross trackless desert, ford raging rivers. Now-■^-adays,.,tbe Canadian government tells us, when * the spirit of the pioneer and explorer is awakenedit only causes them to get lost.Canpda is fed up with Americans who become misplaced in the north woods, and that goes forthe police and air force, who have to look forthem. So it has asked tourist agencies to stopadvertising the north woods in American pub­ lications .and thus, presumably, keep the spirit ofthe pioneer and explorer dormant.We Can’t help feeling that all this is a far whoop arid holler from old Dan’l Boone, who hadhis own philosophy on the subject On one occas­ion, somebody asked him whether he had everbeen lost No. he said thoughtfully, he hadn’t. but oiice he had been bewildered for several days.The. sight of >his compatriots in the north woodswith the Canadian Mounted Police and the Can­ adian Air Force in full cry after them might betoo mueh for Dan’l.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Franz Lehar Franz Lehar gave happiness to people through­out the world with his operettas. His works were in typical Viennese style, gay, melodious, senti­ mental. You. could sing them as you waltzed tothem. The most famous of them, and the most successful, was of course, “The Merry Widow.”To be sure, Lehar tried his hand at the com­position of serious music, too, but he found that the public wanted more waltz tunes. He sup­plied the demand with more than 30 light operas.The war brought him much unhappiness. He was accused of being a pro-Nazi and at the sametime he and his wife were placed under housearyest in Vienna because Frau Lehar was classedby the Nazis as a non-Aryan. Lehar plannedafter the war to write serious operas- about the'struggle Of people for freedom, but never com­pleted any.Lehar once said that in his music he had “an­ other purpose in mind than mere amusement Iwanted to capture the hearts of mankind." “Millions will attest his success.—ChristianScience Monitor. Pianos to Tractors For over a century and a half Pkyel pianoshave been heard in the concert halls of both Eur-and America. In France the name is honoredhighly aa that of Bechstein and Steinway. Theof Pleyel quite recently p-pduced its ,000th piano, and it will probably be the last.TMi majority stockholder of the house accordingto a recent announcement, has sold his interest to a Pans manufacturer who will produce tractor’.While recognizing that bread is undoubtedly ingreater demand today than concert grands, theshiftBran LOOKING BACK In the Files ot The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario Ing; Gertrude Kenny, Eliza Long, Myrtle McDonald, Ethel Mauthe, Mabel McKay, Lily McKay, M.

Mayor Riley asked if a commit­ tee, which he had previously named in connection with the drainage sit­ uation as it pertained to complaints by George Daniel, had a report. Councillor L. V. Healy replied stating that the drain in question had been investigated by the com­ mittee and that an extra catch­ basin had been provided. So far as he was aware no further com­ plaints had been received. Councillor Healy, chairman of the fire, water and light commit­ tee, in submitting a resolution for payment of an account from the public utilities commission covering installation recently of four new hydrants on Oxford avenue, said the hybrants had only been in pos­ ition a short time when the biggest fire of the year occurred in that district. The hydrants he said had proved their importance as the fire­ men were able to cope with the sit­ uation without delay. Mayor Riley speaking of the fire also said the new hydrants provided much-needed protection to those in | the area. He paid tribute to the , manner in which the firemen had acquitted themselves in preventing the fire from spreading.

Civilization, Mr. Smith said, has been granted the privilege of r Christmas. With the coming qf -Jesuit, there came the divine mes- fage that God is love, he told the Lions.' Christmas established cer­ tain true values in the minds of men, including truth, beauty and |goodness. ' “Our way of life requires the I practiced consideration for the! other fellow," said Mr. Smith. "We are Lions because of our faith, and' our fflitji was established at Christ-i , mas by Him who said “Peace on 'earth, good will to men.” 1 hope > you will find happiness in establish­ ing the goodwill measure in your | community," the district governor - told the meeting in concluding his . address. 1 '■ A.

Movies Discussed By Farm Forum The Farm Forum of Concession 2, West Oxford, met on Monday even­ ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ruckle, with 25 present. The topic for the evening wax “Let's go to the movies." The meeting div­ ided into three groups with Ross Hargreaves, Leonard Caffyn and Ed. Thornton as discussion leaders and Mrs. Leonard Caffyn, Miss Dor­ othy Bowman and Mrs. Fred Pett­ man as secretaries. There was dis­ cussion on the merits of films shown in local theatres, their effect on the young people of the com­ munity and on rural life in gen­ eral and all groups agreed that there are too many crime and mur­ der pictures and too much of the “Eternal triangle," It was felt that special care should be taken in se­ lecting films for Saturday afternoon showing when so many children attend. Recreation under the leadership of Rotts Hargreaves and Frank Caffyn was enjoyed and refresh­ ments were served by the hostess, and Mrs. F. Caffyn. The next meeting on January 3, will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pettman. The discussion leader for the January series is to be Murray Budd.

I obeyed instruc- took two doses at once and to bed and slept ten hours, was duqng the first week of August, then I quit drinking until the night of the Truman landslide. I wanted to see the little man elected. I have a high regard for him, but I didn’t think he had a chance; I doubt if many Canadians thought he had. Tnen the news started to come in, he looked like a winner. About JO o'clock at mgtft the prospects were looking pretty bright. I remarked to the “little woman,” “If Truman wins I will take a drink.” “Take it now,” she said, “it may help Truman." This was about 10 o’clock. I took it and slept soundly—victory came with the morning. My wife may have been right again—she often is. The victory of Truman will be a mystery in American politics for ninny years. It will be discussed when ordinary economic subjects have been forgotten. One thing that helped was his courage. It was a situation which would have brok­ en the heart of a less stalwart man. What is courage? The best defini­ tion I ever heard was: “Fighting with the scabbard when the sword is broken.” Truman had that kind of courage. Then Dewey was not the type of man who appealed to the American people. He represented the man they never knew—Truman was the man everybody knew. He did not wrap his garments about him and keep away from them. The farm­ ers felt he was the type of man who could sit down in the shelter of a barbed wire fence and talk about the price of hogs. He didn’t need to do these things—they knew he could—and they knew quite dearly that Dewey couldn’t and wouldn’t if he could. Dewey skated around the issues. He never tried to break a lance in an attack on any problem—he was always saving lances. The people like to see the man who faces prob­ lems, stresses his views, voices his opinions. Of this we may sure Truman has established a pattern, many will try to copy it—they will fail. It can’t be done. What Tru­ man did came from the heart and mind of Truman. It was in him or it would not have come out of him. Greatness cannot be copied, it is inherent in the character man—or it doesn’t exist. I 'necessary for me to that drink, Truman won without it It is good to see a express its opinions, elect its rulers, then go on with the ordinary’ affairs of life just as if there had never been a dash of opinions.

Have you ever stopped to think what your [ savings of electricity mean in terms J of processed foods? Here is an ex­ ample: If every homemaker inI Southern Ontario replaced the I 100-watt light bulb in her kitchen J with a 40-watt bulb’there would be I enough electricity saved in each i hour of use to enable Ontario foot) I processing plants to pack an aver­ age of 1,000,200 cans of food. Looking over the prepared and packaged foods that line our gro­ cery shelves we can see how for­ tunate we are in Ontario. These quick-cooking, ready-to-use and canned products save expense and time .in our modem way of house­ keeping. We depend on such foods every day—from canned baby foods to ground coffee. Canned soups, fish, meats, vegtables, grav­ ies, fruit juices, pudding powders, I Icereals, quick yeast foods, muffin mix, biscuit mix, cake mix, also bottled milk, packaged cheese, but­ ter spreads, etc., and many others | are within easy reach. Read labels and advertisements to be sure of the ingredients, quan­ tity, quality and directions for use. Easy-to-prepare dishes are available in family serving sizes— so there is literally no waste. Even the inexperienced homemaker is sure of good results when all she has to do is open, mix with a meas­ ured quantity of water or milk and cook according to the direct- : ions.

Simpson, L z 310-J4 Owned and Operated in Ingersoll and Tillaonburg First and second reading* were given by the Oxford County Coun­ cil last Wednesday morning to two by-laws authorizing the signing of agreements by the warden and the county clerk, with Woodstock and Ingersoll to cover certain financial arrangemnts for the expenditures on county property and adminis­ tration. The two agreements are for five years commencing on January 1, 1949, and will replace previous five-year agreements now in force. The Woodstock agreement by-law was piloted through the two read­ ings by Reeve W. A. Cockburn and Deputy Reeve R. B. Fry of Blenheim. Deputy Reeve Roger Hawkins of Tillsonburg and Reeve R. A. McDonald of Embro, guided the Ingersoll agreement by-law. The agreements note that Wood- stock since its incorporation as a city in 1901 and Ingersoll since January 1, 1914, have been separ­ ated from the county for munici­ pal purposes. The new agreements cover var­ ious parts of the administration of the county home and county home farm, the courthouse, jail, registry office and criminal justice. In connection with the county home and farm, Woodstock, and Ingersoll, under the agreement will pay a portion of every expense at the home in the care, maintenance and management on a basis of per­ centage of the number of inmate days of inmates from the city or the town to the total number of inmates. On capital expenditures the city and town pay on a basis of assessment in the proportion their last revised assessment bears to the equalized assessment of the county. This assessment basis is used in most of the sharing of the financial arrangements. In the case of the county build­ ings, the courthouse, caretakers’ residence, the pail, jailer’s resi­ dence, turnkey’s residence, registry office and grounds about the coun­ ty buildings, Woodstock, and Inger­ soll will pay quarterly their share of all expenses of care, mainten­ ance, heating, janitor service and those of the chairman- and property committee of the county council. Payment is on the assessment basis. For the registry office all expenses are shared, including ad­ ditions, repairs, improvements and all supplies connected with office. Criminal justice expenses returned by the government, con­ stables’ fees, coroners’ fees and others provided by statute provid­ ing the city and town <pay the exclusive cost, in connection with county court, jurors, jail officers’ salaries and the care and main­ tenance of prisoners after .deduct­ ing all receipts. The cost of insurance on the buildings is shared on a basis of assessment. The city and town are entitled to one representative each on the county home committee. No rent is to be charged the city or town for the use of any county buildings. The city contributes 5400 annu­ ally to the salary of the county treasurer and the town of Ingersoll 5200. The management of the property is to be in the hands of the county council. In the case of alterations proposed where the cost will ex­ ceed 51,000 the city and the town will be consulted.
