G. (Murray and JamesBuchanan, town’s inspector on thenow sewage system, featured Mon­day night'a inaugural meeting ofthe 1949 council in the town hall.The mayor, suggesting it wastime Ingersoll had a town engineer,said he did not think Mr. Buchananwas the man for the job. He sug­gested it might be preferable toget an ex-serviceman. “I’m not a veteran, but I’m aratepayer,” asserted Mr. Buchanan,"and as such I’m entitled to a little consideration.”*^Not as much us an ex-service­man,” retorted Dr. Murray."Let me ask you this,” demandedMr. Buchanan, pointing at the mayor, "Are you an ex-service­man?”"I’m a citizen,” replied the mayor. "Are you?"“I’m a taxpayer”, said Mr. Bu­ chanan”, and I venture to say Ipay far more taxes than 90 percent, of the people I meet from day to day. And don’t forget I did mybit in the first war in munitionswork. “Are you a citizen, Jim?” per­sisted the mayor."No, I'm not,” Mr. Buchananadmitted. “But all I ask is a fairchance at this job, along with everyone else,” he told the mayor."You’ll get it,” Dr. Murray said,and council decided that the wholequestion of a town engineer wouldbe considered in committee at alater date. Mast Economize Addressing his inaugural re­marks to the citizens of Ingersoll, Mayor Murray said: “Again I wantto express my sincere appreciationto yon ail for the honor you haveconferred on me by electing memayor, I also want to congratulatethe councillors who were successfulin being elected. We realize Wehave accepted a great responsibil­ity and I hope I may have the co­operation of every member of the .council and that rare may have a : successful and harmonious year."Owing to the heavy debt the ]town is carrying, economy must be i our policy this year,” Dr. Murraystated. “We cannot attempt any ]now projects, but will endeavor to ]finish work started and do any ]other necessary construction, such ias repairing streets. 1“We must do all we can to en­courage building in our town, and 1 hope we may be able to get some new industries here.

Tribune9s New Owner Introduced by Mr. Veale ' A few weeks ago, a young man walked into The Tribune office and said, rather diffidently, that hewould like to buy the paper. I have neveY offered The’Tribune for sale, but I have had numerous offers to buy. No offer impressed me as much as.the one - whk h the young man made. Or perhaps I shouldsay, no buyer impressed me as much as the young man who made the offer. I remember thinking to myself: “This seems likeI nice young fellow. He’s got a good smile and he’s friendly. He seems to have the right attitude. I like him. I woubd like to know that a young fellow like this is carrying on after I retire.”So I showed him through the plant and the more I saw of him, and talked to him, the better I liked him. I learned too, that his wife is the former Edith Wilson, an Ingersoll girl, and that the young manknew and liked Ingersoll. 'And as I talked to him, I felt good. It was like talking to someone who has come home to take up a job that has been waiting forhim for a long time and which was meant for him. In time, the young man and I reached terms which were mutually agreeable and I sold The Tri­bune. It will be a wrench for me, leaving a paper which I have worked to build for thirty-five years, but I leave The Tribune in the care of a working news­ paperman who will cherish it and nurture it.In saying good-bye to friends and readers of The Ttibune who have been loyal over thirty-five good years, I want to introduce to you, the new publisher, Thomas R. “Tommy’ ~ r:_’" like him. I know Ingersoll and the whole district will like him, and wish him I do. Lee. I know you’ll kick and prosperity. Many from afl ranks of life joined in, final tribute to the latei Senator Donald Sutherland at fun­eral services Tuesday. Entombment ’ of the remains of the distinguished■ Oxford citizen, who died Jan. 1, at the age of 85, was in IngersollMausoleum.The service was held from the family residence, lot 7, concession1, North Oxford, and Rt- Hon.Arthur Meighen, former dominionprime minister, and personalfriend, eulogized the virtues of thelate senator, and his many yearsof service to the people of Canada.Rev. George W. Murdoch, St.Paul’s Church, said, “No tribute toour departed friend would be complete that did not start withthe word ‘thoroughness.’ This quality has predominated all throughhis life. Whatever he did was donewell. He obeyed the Bible injunc­ tion, ‘Whatsoever thy hand findethto do, do it with thy might* He sawhis duty clearly and believed inthese words with an ardor and ut­tered them with fearlessness and labored for them with intensity. A Distinguished Citisen "We mourn the loss of a dis­ tinguished citizen, a good father,a man who loved his home, but isit not a truth that our brother leftall that mortal man can hope toleave to posterity and his family,a life well rounded in its useful­ness, beautiful in simplicity anddevotion to duty, a life that has left no stain on his memory andthat is a benefit and consolation tohis friends and family.” (Continued on page 5) Plans for School; Discussed by Board A proposed four-room-plus-kin-dergarten addition to Princess Eliz­abeth Public School was discussedfor two hours Tuesday night bymembers of the 1949 Public School Board and C. H. Gillin, Londonarchitect. ~Mr. Gillin submitted four plans for linking the new school with theolder school. These provide thatthe new addition be two-storey and Mr. Gillin will also draw plans fora one-storey structure for consid­eration at a later meeting. Trustee Cz A. Ackert, re-electedchairman, described the new schoolas the board's major project. He5aid increased accommodation wasbadly needed. L. <B. Hyd§, PublicSchool inspector, told- The Tribunethat crowded though Victory Mem­orial School was now, it would bemuch worse by 1953. The vitalstatistics branch had calculated, hesaid, that by then, if no one left town, or no one new came in, therewould be another 250 children ofPublic-School age. J. J. McLeod was re-named secre­tary-treasurer, at a salary of *50per month. Trustee C. A. Pellowwas re-elected vice-chairman.The following committees were appointed, with the first-named aschairman:Teachers—Trustees Pellow, Gor­ don Henry, and A. J.

G. Murray, Public Schools principal, reported that in Decem­ber there was an attendance of 93per cent. John Wilford, school at­tendance officer, presented his an­nual report, showing they had to investigate only 11 cases of failureto attend school. A great tributeto school staffs, parents and pupils, Mr. Wilford’s report said no com­plaints were laid before juvenilecourt, a magistrate or justice of thepeace, in connection with school at­tendance.The board accepted with regret the resignation of Miss Mary J.Hauser, from the teaching staff, be­cause of ill health. Mrs. E. Haskell was named to take her place. It's a Farewell, But Not Good-bye Tins is a man known by most people,either by first name, by sight or by reputa­ tion, for many miles around. He is W. R. “Bill” Veale, seen looking at the Ingersoll Tribune which he owned and directed Tor35 years, and has just sold. But a man doesn’t lose his interest in his life-time work, or his interest in the people just by selling, and it is our hope that that familiar cigar will be seen around, the Tribune office for some time to come. ‘TH Be Very Sorry To See It Go”-Yeale BY WESSELY HICKS Silver Tray Presented To Mrs. Gordon Tingle Prior to the closing of the Pub­lic Schools for the Christmas vaca­tion, the members of the teaching staff and the Public School Boardgathered in the kindergarten roomof Victory Memorial School to honor Mrs. Gordon Tingle, (neeRuth Cuthbertson). The chairmanof the board, C. A. Ackert, pres­ented a beautiful engraved silvertray to Mrs. Tingle in appreciation of her 24 years of service as sup­ervisor of music in the schoolsand as kindergarten director. Mrs.Tingle expressed . her thanks forthe lovely gift and for the kindnessand co-operation of all with whomshe had been associated.

For William R. "Bill” Veale has retired as editor and publisher ef The Ingersoll Tribune. But the odor of Bill's cigars will not be completely absent from the “Tri­ bune,” offices, for he win be drop­ ping in/ for a few hours a day to brake our youthful exuberance and inexperience with the weight of .his years of “know-how” end can­ niness. It was 35 years ago that Bill Veale came to Ingersoll to buy Tbs Oxford Tribune, a paper which was founded in 1873 as The Oxford Tribune and Deiryx Reporter. Across the road on Thames street, were the offices of The Chronicle which was then publishing both » daily and a weekly. "I wouldn’t tackle that kind of opposition again,” Mr. Veale says, wondering at his youthful brash­ ness. “It makes me shudder a bit when I think of walking into a town like Ingersoll and starting up a weekly in opposition to an estab­ lished paper. Mellowed With Years “Actually, my friends gave me about three years to have my fling. They said this was a tough town and that at the end of three years, I’d be finished. But I’ve stuck and made a lot of friends and a good living for myself and my family. Ingersoll was a little tough at first, but the town and I mellowed with the years and we get along fine now.” A few years after Bill Veale changed the name of The Oxford Tribune to The Ingersoll Tribune, The daily Chronicle failed, and » short time later, the weekly stop­ ped its presses for all time. Bill Veale had the field to himself. “Those times were really tough,”’ Mr. Veale recalls. Before World War I, the highest wage paid was *11 a week. Before the end Of the war, wages had jumped to 530 a week. I think it was more an economic squeeze than the weight of our opposition which put The Chronicle out of business.” Be that as it may, Bill Veale was no novice in the publishing and printing business. He was born at Beaverton, Ont., “a long time ago” and 13 years later, he moved to Woodville as a a salary of *1 years later, he week. printer’s devil at per week.

Then, in 1896, when William Jennings Bryan was unsuccessfully contesting the Pre­ sidency of the United Slates, he moved to Elwood City, Pennsyl­ vania, where he worked as a prin­ ter’s devil. ‘‘But all the time I was there,” he says, "I never saw anyone I knew. I had a pretty lonesome time until I was offered a job back at the Tilbury News.” That was 44 years ago and at that time, two important changes were made in Bill Veale’s life. He became a partner in the Tilbury News with H. A. Hutton, and he married Nettie Richardson, He re­ nounced his partnership in The News after a few years to work in the circulation department of the Detroit News, but his partnership with Nettie Richardson is ‘firmer and more understanding with the passing years.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 6th, 1949 Very Best Wishes This issue of the Ingersoll Tribune is the first the New Year, 1949, and the first under new ownership. It is with a sense of great respect that we take up the pen so ably wielded by Mr, W. R. Veale. ' Few men can equal his experience in the weekly newspaper field, and none can exceed his interest in the community of his choice.The Tribune's main thought will continue to be the best interests of Ingersoll and its neighboring communities. It will seek to be interesting, and 'win preserve the best traditions of the Tribune directed by Mr. Veale. We would like to join with all our readers and the Veales* many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. ■ Veale the very best of everything for the future. At the same time, we would like to wish all a , Happy New Year, and assure them their interests will be ours. We Can Help The New Canadians Fit Themselves Into Our Way of Living One of the features of the Christmas season in Ingersoll was a deligthful little party arranged at the Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute for a number of New Canadians in the town and district who are taking courses there to help them to become good citizens of our land. The party was arranged by the teaching staff and the Kiwanis Club of Ingersoll. We think that) the teachers and the Kiwanians earned the appreciation of the community in arranging this delightful social gathering. We would also like to commend those who are re­ sponsible for instituting and carrying on the classes for the New Canadians. These people are not foreigners, but rather they are New Canadians. "Foreigner” is an un­ friendly designation and one which will not help them to assimilate themselves into the Canadian way of life. We, who were born here, were fortunate, as also are the people who have come to Canada from English-speaking countries. The New Canadians chose Canada as the country ' in which they would like to live. With our help, they will accustom themselves to our language and our way of living. They will also enrich the culture of our land with their individual contri­ butions. We can appreciate the worth of the Christmas party held here more if we think of ourselves in their lands at Christmas, and unable to join in the community celebrations because of a lang­ uage bar and of difficulty in understanding the customs of a land strange to us. It was a warm­ hearted welcome to the New Canadians of our Community. Our Dominion of Canada is a democracy and what our elected representatives do is governed ultimately by the voice of the people in the secret ballot When our government permits people from other lands to. come here to make their homes, there is a certain amount of re­ sponsibility upon each of us to help these New Canadians to fit themselves into the way we live. It would not be good for our country for us to be aloof to the New Canadians, and thus cause them to remain in groups of their own nationalities. We want a united Canadian clti- xenship with no minority groups. And let us be tolerant in our judging of the New Canadians. We should not condemn a whole nationality because one member of it gets into trouble. We will achieve the highest type of citizenship from the New Canadians through ■ kindly help. We should encourage them to be­ come naturalized citizens of our beloved Domin­ ion of Canada so that they will have equal rights with us in the enjoyment of working to make it a still greater nation. Senders of Food Parcels Should Have Some Income Tax Exemption The beginning of another year brings thoughts to us about the payment of income taxes for the year that has gone. The majority of tax­ payers are fortunate that a considerable portion of their taxes are already paid, having been de­ ducted from their regular pay envelopes. It is not so many years ago that income taxes were unknown to' the average wage earner. But now, in view of the many services which we have come to expect from the governments, ft is likely that this form of taxation will be with ua always. It is not an unjust way of obtaining the money which the governments must have to provide us with the things we demand of them: There is, however, a consideration which the governments should give in regard to the de- ‘ duetion for donations to charity. Those uho pay Income taxes are permitted to deduct a per­ centage of the amount they give to charitable organizations. During recent years, many people have been sending parcels of food to' the people ot Great Britain, as well as to other overseas lands. This is indeed a work of dharity. We do not rappose that it would be possible to allow a deduction for the cost of the articles inthe parcels, as this might involve a costly system of checking for the income tax officials. The postage on these parcels, on the other hand,-te quite an expense item. Many people in Ingersoll rad the district art sending food parcels to re- !*nr® item in their annual THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN, 6, 1949 ials to arrange with the Post Office Department for the giving of a receipt for postage paid on food parcels to be used as a deductible item along with other charitable donations in com­ puting the annual income taxes. It seems to us that the sending of these food parcels is the very essence of charity, and with so many individuals sending parcels of food oversess it would appear that the Income Tax Department would be war­ ranted in providing some form of tax exemp­ tion to them as well as to the donors of money to charitable organizations. With the majority of people sending parcel* of food overseas, it Is a work o£_love. They may deny themselves some pleasure in order to spend the money on the buying of contents for a food parcel. We think that these people should receive some consideration from the income tax officials of- our country. Congratulations To Lions Club On Its 10th Anniversary We congratulate the Lions Club of Ingersoll on its 10th anniversary. The event will be cele­ brated on Friday evening, when the founder of the International Association of Lions Clubs will come to Ingersoll to address the members and wives of’the local dub. and their guests from district Lions Clubs. The local Lions Club has earned an important place for itself in the life of the community dur­ ing the 10 years which have passed since it was organized. It has done a great amount of service work, especially on behalf of the boys and girls, in working for the conservation of sight and in assisting the blind, and among its major activi­ ties has been the splendid support of the build­ ing fund for Alexandra Hospital. On behalf of the citizens of the town and district, we extend thanks to the Lions Club for the service it has rendered to the community. ‘We- feel that the club has been successful be­ cause it has realized the duties of a service club. Unlike a social club, the success of a service club is measured by the standard of its services to the community. Members who join a service club do so with the realization that they will be ex­ pected to be workers on club projects. The members of service clubs are ordinary men who are interested in the welfare of their community. They plan some activity for the bop and girls or an improvement for their commun­ ity, and then they go to work-to raise the money that is needed to make those plans successful. The Lions Club of Ingersoll bolds the confi­ dence of the people of the town and the district. Whenever the dub sponsors some activity to raise funds, it is given generous support. During the 10 years of its existence, the did) has shown to the citizens that it uses the money it receives from them carefully, and always in some way that will benefit a boy or a girl, a group or the whole community. In joining with those who will be wishing the club congratulations tomorrow evening, we hope that the club will find much satisfaction and enjoyment In recalling the things which it has done for the community. We also hope that it will envision greater things to be done in the future to help the underprivileged and in the improvement of our town and district. Those Barrels Meet a Need, Even If The Art Work Could Be Improved Those barrels of sand on the street corners are meeting a real need. Commendations are due to those who are responsible for putting them out They keep them full, too. A motorist knows now, when his car wheels spin on ice, that all he has to do is to go to the nearest corner in the down town district for some sand. The thought that resulted in the putting out of the sand barrels was probably prompted with an urgency for speed also. This may account for their apparent brief time with the art de­ partment Perhaps in the first mild spell they could go back to that department and be given a complete coating of yellow paint, with a few deft strokes of a brush dipped in black paint to re-inscribe the words, "Sand—Help Yourself.” W hat Others Say We Are Prudent In Peacetime When the going is tough enough Canadianscan do wonders.

SP O NS O R ED *Y YO U * DANK $ *1’11 Be Very Sorry Th* Tribune Changes Hands After SS Tears Under Bill Veal* To See It Go”—Veale (Continued from page 1) thought I was lucky when I married her and the years have proven that THE INGER80LL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 6, 1949 City Didn’t Agree The Veale* moved to Windsor from Tilbury and Bill worked in the circulation department of The Detroit News. “But I was a small town boy," he says, “and the big city didn’t agree with me. I felt lost in the maze and hustle and bustie of the city." So the Veale* moved to Sea­ forth, where Bill bought The Sea­ forth News, and five year* later, he started his last and most success­ ful and satisfactory printing and publishing venture on Ingersoll’s main street. A year later, he bought the house at 282 Thames street south where he and Mrs. Veale and their son, Howard, still live. When Bill Veale took over The Tribune 35 years ago, all the type was set by hand and 15, girls, boys, men and women labored at the exacting task. Today The Tribune’s plant is as modern as that of any country weekly paper in the prov­ ince. Bill Veale installed a new linotype machine. Then came an efficient flat bed pres* and folder. He began casting his own cut*. Finally paper cutters and joggers were added to a plant which is as neat a* a Dutch kitchen. Circulation is 2,100 Seated at his cluttered desk, which is a hodge-podge of proofs, memos, letters, cuts, circulars and odd* and ends, Bill Veale finds those early days are fading a bit fa his memory like an old picture. “I don’t even remember the circu­ lation when I first came here,” he says. “And that’s true, for time catches up with and passes a man and he forgets. But our circulation now is around 2,100." And standing at the window of The Tribune office, Mr. Veale finds it difficult to point out any great changes in Thames street “There are a great many changes, of course," he say*, “but when you’re part of a town and grow with it and into it you don’t notice changes very much. They just happen and you're sort of a part of them. “There are certainly a lot more cars out there than there were when I first came. I guess there were only about six cars in town when I first arrived. And if you drove 25 miles an hour, you were a daredevil. There were hitching posts and rings along both sides of the streets and farmers coming in to town to shop lined 'the street with buggies and wagons.” The more recent civic improve­ ments ho remembers. "There’s the new sewage system which is being installed at a cost of over 31,* 000,000,” he say*. "The contract has been let for a new 65-bed hospital at a cost of 3490,000 and there is a new collegiate under consideration. And there is the new civic centre which is a tribute to the service clubs which built and support it. Backed Improvements . “And The Tribune has backed each of the major civic improve­ ments as they have been projected. Part of the philosophy of a coun­ try newspaper owner and editor is that he must be civic-minded and his paper must reflect that. He must be alert to recognize ideas and project* which will promote the good of the whole community and to support them. I think The Tribune has done that It must have reflected something of the spirit and wishes of the people of Ingersoll or it would have died long age.” An integral part of a country editor’s philosophy is that he must be independent, Mr. Veale believes. "A man must get a fair shake when there i* only one paper in a town," he say*. “Both side* of an argument must be presented. Right now, Oxford county 1* Progress­ ive-Conservative, provincially and federally. But fa The Tribune, all candidates-get the same treatment On any controversies in th* town, The Tribune attempt* to explain or present all viewpoint* and then it is up to th* people to decide with no prodding er prompting from "It’s time I got out before I get to like the job,’chuckled W. R. “Bill” Veale, as he stepped out of the office of the Ingersoll Tribune January 1, after selling thenewspaper to Thomas R. Lee, of Oakville. Owner of The Tribune 35 years, Mr. Veale’s knowledge in the weekly Mett M—t All And a country editor and pub­ lisher must be sympathetic and friendly and honest, Mr. Veale says. “You can’t fly off the handle," he says. “You have to be able to meet the magnate and the street cleaner and have both call you by your first name. If you don't, only a few will like you and you must have th* support of nearly everyone in a small twn to be a success. And you must have friends for support and encourage­ ment and even as news sources, for they supply y»u with many items and leads. And you must be honest. "Time takes many things from you. Old friends di* and ar* not replaced. newspaper field is unsurpassed, and he will keep a “fatherly eye” on Tribune progress until the new ownergets into the swing of things. Mr. Veale is seen, left, with Mrs. Veale, a capable newspaperwoman herself. Next is Mrs. Lee, who as Edith Wilson, was bom and raised in Ingersoll, and is highly pleased to be returning home. Mr. Lee, at right, realizes a life-long ambition in purchas­ ing the Ingersoll Tribune. He was 15 years with theToronto Star, joining that organization on leaving high school. Despite the ownership change, there is no other change in the “happy family” that comprises thestaff. Miss Winnifred Webb is one of the few woman linotype operators in the country. Youngest member is Gilbert Stevenson, “printer’s devil”, shown withCecil Smith, another veteran, making up a page. Miss ‘ Irma Hutt is the personable young lady who greets all^V customers, keeps the books and many other jobs. Joe Hunt is unsurpassed as printer and compositor. Far, middle left, is Howard Veale, son of the former owner, general handyman and proofreader, and left, below, < is Gordon Craig, the Tribune’s advertising manager, who has had many years with Weekly newspapers. NEW ODEON THEATRE TO OPEN NEXT MONTH Work on the new Odeon Theatre is progressing favorably and S. O.

It is expected that the op­ ening presentation will be on Feb- Hospital Auxiliary Seeks Assistance and honesty.

We understand each other and we have built this paper together. We're proud of it and of each other and we’ve worked to­ gether for -a total of over 150 years." Going To Miss Pfaco ' Today, after a little over half a century' in the printing buxine**, Bill Veale can still feed a pres*, make up, set ads, or Operate a cutter or * linotype machine with any man. on his staff - and ' has proven it "I'm just a spare hand around here," he says, but ha says ' it with pride. "I keep the plant running and leave the - writing to ’ someone with a bent for it.” Recently, Mrs. Veale dropped into The Tribune office for a brief rest and a break from shopping. "I’m going to mis* this place,” she said. “I always drop in when I'm downtown and what with, Bill or some of the staff and juM have a good, old-fashioned visit. I’ll miu it very much." Bill Veale smiled at her. “When I was in the sanitarium for two year* back in the ’20'* with tuber­ culosis," he said, “she kept this place going. She gathered the news, wrote it,. picked up ad* and gen­ erally kept thing* running. And The Women’s Auxiliary to Alex- , andra Hospital has been asjeed by the Hospital Trust to assume the J responsibility of furnishing the new hospital. The hospital board mem- tber* feel that they have a suffic­ iently big undertaking in hand to raise the funds to finance the erec­ tion of the building. And, as the settlement of the government grants, which are a very consider- ; able sum, will be withheld until the rdoms are ready for occupancy, it is essential that the Auxiliary make every effort to raise the funds re­ quired to equip the hospital as soon as possible. They have already been advised by some organizations that they intend to donate the money neces­sary to furnish a room. This gen­ erosity they warmly appreciate.’For their information, the Auxil­ ary has made considerable inquiries and is able to say that a sum ap­ proximating >500 will be needld to 1 equip a room. « Th* Auxiliary is making every < effort to bring this urgent matterk to the attention of all local (organ iz- « aliens and of all interested indiv- > idual* in the hope that they will * give it favorable considerotion.

CouncillorEidt thought the council shouldstart the next morning to advertisefor an engineer, so' he would beready when the disposal plant is turned over in ,about three weeks’time.*Councillor F. H. Kerr agreed. “As far as I can find out fromMr. Schwenger, the plant does notneed a man there, except off andon,” said the mayor.Mr. Buchanan said an explosive gas is created in the digester, andthat the consulting engineer, Mr.Anderson, had stated a man shouldbe there at all times. Mr. Buchanansaid he had many abilities whichqualified him for the position ofengineer."You are not qualified as an en-gnieer,” the mayor told him. “There is not one disposal plantlike this in Ontario,” declaredCouncillor Morrison.. "This is con­ sidered to be the utmost in sewer­age disposal plants.”“I think we had better let thematter lie,” observed the mayor.“I’ll get some information from places where there are disposalplants.”Mayor Dr. Murray asked Coun­ cillor Ranger if some of the em­ployees of the Board of Works had resigned.Some are asking for increases, Councillor Ranger said. “If thosedissatisfied employees wish to go, itis up to them. We treated themfairly in 1948,” he said. "We have men ready to take their places ifthey want to go.” "Our iwork is away behind,” themayor -remarked.(Mr. Buchanan, a native of In­ gersoll, told The Ingersoll Tribunehe spent about 33 years in theUnited States, where he became a citizen. During the First GreatWar, he seized with the ImperialMunition Board at Trenton, manu­facturing high explosives.) William Wilson Came Here 39 Years Ago The death occurred at the resi­dence of his daughter, Mrs. John Rawlings, 231 Thames St South,on Sunday, January 2nd, of Wil­liam Wilson, husband of the late Frances Bailey, in his 93rd year.He had been in failing health forthe past year. Born in DerehamTownship, he had been engaged infarmfiig for a great many years,land be was well and favorably known in that part of the county.He was the son of the late Mr. andMrs. LvtfHard Wilson, pioneerfarmers of Dereham. He retiredfrom farming 39 years ago whenhe moved to Ingersoll.While health permitted, he at­tended Trinity United Church, and he was a director of the formerNuncekivell cheese factory on theCulloden Road. His wife predeceas­ ed him more than ten years ago. Hehad many friends in Ingersoll andthe district through his personality throughout the years.Mr. Wilson is survived by onedaughter, Mrs. John Rawlings, withwhom he resided in Ingersoll; twosons, Walter of Dereham and JamesLeonard Wilson of Niagara Falls,N.Y.; IS grandchildren and 11great-grandchildren; one sister,Mrs. William Boles (Sarah) ofStratford, and a number of niecesand nephews.The late 'Mr. Wilson rested at theKeeler & Johnstone Funeral Home, where the funeral services wereheld on Wednesday afternoon, withRev. C. D. Daniel and Rev. C. J. Queen officiating. Interment tookplace in the Ingersoll Rural Ceme­tery. (Continued from page 1) Pickard, Eli Neaves; ward two,Roy Haycock, S. R. Garton; wardthree, W. R.

Winlaw was appointedcollector of licenses at a fee of 10per cent, on all licenses collected and paid to the town treasurer.Mayor Dr. Murray, R. W. Green, S. L. Shelton and S, Wadsworth were appointed members of the in­dustrial committee.Appointments of a market clerkand a .weed inspector were left inabeyance until the next meeting.The mayor thought the salary of$100 a year for a weed inspectorcould be saved. A resolution forappointment of John Wilford asmarket clerk at a salary of *10 amonth, was defeated on an amend­ment to carry it over to the nextmeeting. The mayor «aid he had heard some work about the marketbuilding had not been attended to,and it was thought Alf. Schaefer,caretaker of the town hall, shouldbe consulted about taking over thework.To Borrow *143,000 A by-law was passed, on resolu­ tions by Councillors Morrison andHealy, authorizing borrowing of moneys up to $143,000 from theRoyal Bank of Canada to meet cur­rent expenses until taxes arecollected. .The mayor felt it would be mthe best interests of the town to have an engineer. "With the in­vestment which we have in oursewerage system, I feel we should have one,’’ he said. "He could look after the streets also.”Councillor Morrison endorsedthe mayor’s suggestion, saying itwas not right to ask Hie chairmanof the board of -works to do it. It should be someone not beholden tovotes, who could plan his work inthe fall and carry it out in the spring,” he said.Councillor F. H. Worker Mid the town would need a plumbinginspector also, and it was his opin-ion the positions could be com­ bined. ..Councillor L. J. Ranger saidthere is a need of constant over­ seeing. He could not see why aman should be assessed $5 for theoverseeing of sewer connections.| Stating that this might be leftover, -Mayor Dr. Murray said hethought the inspector’s work was finished. He thought the resolu­tion for the inspector's appoint­ ment should be rescinded.Councillor Wurker didn’t agree.He said the* salary paid to the in­spector would be well spent inhaving him look after the disposalplant until the town appointed anengineer. He said he would like tosee James Buchanan, the inspector,supervise the plant and the entiresewerage system. Mayor Murray said W. Schwen-gAr. the contractor, told him a numwas not needed at the plant now,but that Mr. Schwenger says heasked the council a couple of months a«o to have a man there tolearn about the plant.Mr. Buchanan said he wasn’t interested in the job if it were justfor a few days, until someone per­manent were appointed. “I havegiven the town the best I could. Iwant the job, but qqt from day to day," he said. The speaker said aman will be at the plant for 30days to train whoever is to take charge of it.Councillor Morrison stated Mr. Schwenger had told him it wasnot necessary to have aomeonethere until the plant was . passed over to the corporation. “We hadsomeone there while the equiw&s being installed he said.M Something Wrong "There is somethingsomewhere”, the mayor remarked. "I would like to have Mr. Schwen'.ger here.” VCouncillor Wurker: "Mr. Schwen-' ger recommended in front of thecouncil that Mt . BJjehanan was the man for the job. If he haschanged his mind, he hasn’t in­formed us.” Both Mayor Murray and Councillor' Wurker said they would take Mr. Schwenger’s wordanywhere. Councillor Morrison said an en­gineer with practical experiencewas wanted. "We rely on Mr. Bu­chanan in emergencies now,” I be­lieve we asked too much of anyman in the last two. years of in­spection in expecting that he be100 per cent, correct.Mayor Dr. Murray: "The dis­posal plant contractors are respon­sible until it is turned over to the town.”Mr. Buchanan said he had beenat the plant for the past threeweeks, familiarizing himself withit“Who knows better than theman who grew up with the job?”asked Councillor Morrison. “I be­ lieve that the present inspectorshould be retained nnd then havean equal chance with others.” The mayor said there were appli­cations for the position of operatorof the plant Councillor Morrisonsaid there should be a man Incharge over the sewers and dispos­al plant Councillor Healy: “There is nothing wrong with the man whohas been there.” Mayor Dr. Murray: “You and Idon’t agree.”Councillor Healy: “Mr. Buchan­ an ia the only one in this townwho grew up with the plant****Mayor Dr. Murray: “Mr. Schwen­ger says the plant will run itself.”Councillor Healy: “It can’t—noperpetual motion has been discov- PLEASE NOTE!

Massey-Harris by Merrill Denison. I McClelland and Stewart, >8.50. 1 “Unaccustomed as we are,” , says William Arthur Deacon, Lit- . erary Editor of The Globe and • Mail, “to industrial history, it must come as a surprise that the most ‘ important historical narrative pub- i lished in Canada this yea/ is the i story of Massey-Harris. Still’ more surprising is-the fact we have here no mere vaunt of success in dol- ! lars, nor only information about i the mechanical improvement of • machines, but social history of an 1 engrossing nature.” [ The story written by the facile i and forceful writer, Merrill Deni- ■ son, author of Klondike Mike and ‘ other books, is the story of Can- . ada’s growth and development, the opening up and settlement of the i West, and the pros and cons of the 1 ubiquitous tariff question. In terms that are intelligibly and interesting to the general reader, the author traces the influence of i agricultural mechanization on the world’s economy. As a footnote to Canadian his­ tory it is a new and illuminating picture of Canada’s social and ec­ onomic development, hitherto a largely neglected field, that will prove of absorbing interest to the general reader. The book is high­ lighted by sets of illustrations based on authentic historical prints records. BIRTHS SODEN—At Alexandra Hospital, Ingersoll, on Monday, December 27, 1948, to Mr. and Mrs. Nelson F.

NISSOUR1 AGAINST BUILDING OF DAMS Thamesford—The East Nissouri Township Council went on record, last week as being in accord with a petition to be presented to the Thames Valley Authority by own­ ers of land which would be affected by the proposed Wildwood and Glengowan dams and also by rate­ payers of the immediate vicinity. The petition voiced strong dis­ approval of plans for the building of dams and makes the recom­ mendation that, as an alternative, the farmers be assisted with plans to hold the water on their waste­ land and to reforest the banks of creeks and steep hillsides. It was pointed out that the council believes the dams are but a temporary and more expensive sol­ ution to the problem. The petition states the dams are not in the best interests of the country at large because there is no provision for holding water on the higher levels and no plans for soil conservation and reforestation. Further objections cited include lack of specific guarantees of com­ pensation to the owners of land in­ juriously affected and the period­ ical draining of the dam exposing “a dirty stagnant and offensive mass of filth in the community.” It is also mentioned that the dams if constructed will cover val­ uable deposits of limestone which in a few years would be of great value to the Ontario steel industry if not-covered by water. The petition will be forwarded to officials of the Upper Thames Valley Authority. MANY PAY TRIBUTE... (Continued from page 1) Honorary pallbearers were: RLHon. Arthur Meighen, Toronto; Hon. Dr. D. M.

Here, in Canada, freedom has a better chance... Because we’re free, each of us has his place in shaping human destiny, Because we’re free, we can speak our minds without fear... we can worship as we choose ... we can change our jobs for better ones.... or stan in business on our own... Because we’re free to elect one party or another, our government must stand by policies the majority of us support... Because we're free to choose one product or another, business keeps improving its wares to serve us better, thereby raising our already high standard of living. We're free because our economic system is free. Without economic freedom, all other freedoms die... civil rights lose their meaning... the standard of living is lowered... the citizen becomes the puppet of the State. So long as we nurture and defend our economic freedom, we can safeguard all our freedoms... we can beat off every assault upon our liberties and our individual dignity.

Massey-Harris by Merrill Denison. I McClelland and Stewart, $3.50. 1 “Unaccustomed as we are,” , says William Arthur Deacon, Lit- . erary Editor of The Globe and ■ Mail, “to industrial history, it must come as a surprise that the most . important historical narrative 'pub- i lished in Canada this year is the [ story of Massey-Harris. Still- more surprising is the fact we have here . no mere vaunt of success in dol- ; lars, nor only information about i the mechanical improvement of 1 machines, but social history of an engrossing nature." The story written by the facile and forceful writer, Merrill Deni- 1 son, author of Klondike Mike and j other books, is the story of Can- ■ ada’s growth and development, the opening up and settlement of the West, and the pros’ and cons of the 1 ubiquitous tariff question. In terms that are intelligibly and interesting to the general reader, the author traces the influence of | agricultural mechanization on the world's economy. As a footnote to Canadian his­ tory it is a new and illuminating picture of Canada’s social and ec­ onomic development, hitherto a largely neglected field, that will prove of absorbing interest to the general reader. The book is high­ lighted by sets of illustrations based on authentic historical prints records. and BIRTHS SODEN—At Alexandra Hospital, Ingersoll, on Monday, December 27, 1948, to Mr. and Mrs. Nelson F.

MISSOURI AGAINST BUILDING OF DAMS Tharaesford—The East Nissouri Township Council went on record, last week as being in accord with a petition to be presented to the Thames Valley Authority by own­ ers of land which would be affected by the proposed Wildwood'' and Glengowan dams and also by rate­ payers of the immediate vicinity. The petition voiced strong dis­ approval of plans for the building of dams and makes the recom­ mendation that, as an alternative, the farmers be assisted with plans to hold the water on their waste­ land and to reforest the banks of creeks and steep hillsides. It was pointed out that the council believes the dams are but a temporary and more expensive sol­ ution to the problem. The petition states the dams are not in the best interests of the country at large because there is no provision for holding water on the higher levels and no plans for soil conservation and reforestation. Further objections cited include lack of specific guarantees of com­ pensation to the owners of land* in­ juriously affected and the period­ ical draining of the dam exposing “a dirty stagnant and offensive mass of filth in the community." It is also mentioned that the dams if constructed will cover val­ uable deposits of limestone which in a few years would be of great value to the Ontario steel industry if not. covered by water. The petition will be forwarded to officials of the Upper Thames Valley Authority. MANY PAY TRIBUTE... (Continued from page 1) Honorary pallbearers were: RtHon. Arthur Meighen, Toronto; Hon. Dr. D. M.
