E. Win­law following insertion of an ad­ vertisement by Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray. Several councillors told the Tri­bune they were unaware the toWnwas officially seeking a town en­gineer until they read the adver­tisement in Toronto and Londonnewspapers. They said they askedthe mayor for an explanation at committee meeting last week and the mayor he said he understood hisaction was council’s1* wish. When several councillors denied such action had been requested, thefollowing resolution was introduced:“That this council concurs with the action of the mayor in advertisingfor a resident town engineer forIngersoll, and, in addition, the suc­ cessful applicant, if any, must assume the responsibilities of oper­ation of the sewage disposal plant,plumbing and sewage inspection, and the maintenance of roads,streets and sidewalks.” Application* Close Jan. 15 , The police committee resolution,introduced by Councillor FredWurkeR and seconded by Council­lor Majrison, was carried.The advertisement the mayor in­serted, read: “Town of, Ingersoll,resident engineer. State qualifica­tions, age and salary expected. Applications to be received notlater than Saturday, January 15,1949. R. E. Winlaw, Town Clerk, Ingersoll.”Mayor Murray commented onthe fact council was attended by quite a number of spectators.“I'm glad to see so many takingan interest in their town,” he said. “If this interest is maintained, wecan bring our town up to thestandard it should be. I’d like to see this chamber filled every meet­ing. That’s the way we’ll progress."R. A. Stone, president of theChamber of Commerce, said hisgroup felt a resident town engineershould be appointed. He said therewere so many new projects under­way and the town was getting sobig, a high calibre man should be hired to look after the town’s in­terests. He said the town had be­ come big business and should berun as such.C. W. Riley Disagrees , “I wonder at the advisability ofhiring an engineer,” differed ex­mayor C. W. Riley. “What would his duties Ke? We have a con­sulting engineer. Plans ofour systems are available. Anypractical man can follow them. Afirst-class resident engineer would cost* us $4,000 a year. For any­thing less you could get only a green NOW REGISTERED NURSE Pauline A. Dykeman, (shown here), daughter of Mr. andMrs. Charles K.

Our neighbor, Woodstock, has no permanent en­gineer. . v ‘An engineer is something wecould do without economically,” heasserted. “What we need is a good practical man.”“Think back to 1935 or so; youwere in council then, weren’t you?” asked Mayor Murray.“Yes,” said Mr. Riley.“What were your views on a town engineer then?”“Well, they couldn’t have beenvery unanimous—we didn’t engagean engineer,” replied Mr. Riley."No, but it would have been un­animous had the money not had tobe spent for relief”, pointed outMayor Murray.George Preston, an ex-councillor,and member of the Ratepayers’Association, alleged that James A.Buchanan, town’s sewage-systeminspector, had permitted certainmistakes to be made in the con­struction of the sewer system. He said if Mr. Buchanan were paid$3,000 a year, “surely it would beworth paying an extra $1,000 for a man who would check up on mis­takes. ‘ Plant i* Monument “Mr. Buchanan had authority tocheck mistakes, but didn’t,” hecharged.“I don’t know of any majorerrors made by the inspector”, in­terjected Mr. Morrison. “Perhaps(Continued on page 5) Waste Gases Used For Heating Plant Ready To Operate Ingersoll’s new sewage disposal plant, said the finest of its kind inCanada, is ready to go into action. Only lack^ of sufficient volume ofsewage is holding it up and for thisreason Town Clerk R. E. Winlaw is appealing to citizens to havetheir homes connected to the sy­stem as'soon as possible.Almost fully automatic and asmodern as can be, the system is designed for a town of 10,000 pop­ulation and sewage water, aftertreatment, will pass into the river almost as clear as a bell except forthe necessary added chlorine.Mr. Bill Schwenger, young Hamilton contractor, who built theplant, this week took the Tribuneon a complete tour’ of inspection,and explained its functions. Atthe outset he referred to commentsfrom many that the sewer piping laid throughout the town seemedsmaller than usual, and explainedthat the pipe is to handle only-sewage, and not general drainagefrom roads, roofs and elsewhere.It won't handle floods, for instance. Won't Hart Sy»tem For sewage disposal purposes,the town is divided into three sec­ tions. The southwest section’s sew­age flows by gravity to the Won­ham street pumping station where two automatic pumps lift it acrossthe river to empty into the maintrunk sewer. If for some reason thepumps fail without anyone discov­ering it, Mr. Schwenger explained,when the sewage reaches a certain level it will overflow and pour in­to the river. It won’t however,harm the system itself. "But”, he added, “there is a sig­nal system available that wouldeliminate that possibility. If the pumps fail, through breakdown, asthe sewage accumulates, a bell ringsat the main station and a light flashes on the main switchboard. Sothe station operator knows at alltimes if the sub-station is operat­ ing.”Whether this signal system will (Continued on page 5) Drilling Started Along New Course In River Diversion Primary work on the $600,000Thames straightening project has begun, Gordon Pittock, Ingersollrepresentative on the Thames Val-"ley Authority, told the Tribuna today. The undertaking is designedto eliminate possibilities of flood,make more land available for in­ dustrial development, and beautifythe area.It is hoped to get started on an all-out basis within the next fourweeks or so, he -said, and the jobis expected to be completed four to five months later. Right now en­gineers are drilling over the pro­posed new course of the river inorder to show contractors whattype of soil and rock they’ll haveto remove. The straightening program involvesa stretch of 30,032 feet, beginningright in the village of Beachville and running 10,000 feet west ofthe centre line of the Thames Streetbridge in Ingersoll. It is estimatedthat 1.000,000 yards of earth willhave to be removed, and 12,000tons of fiat rock be used in thebuilding of embankments. The stone, incidentally, will be quarriedrighty in the area.In addition, the Chemical Lime Co. has granted use of 90 acres ofland north of the C.N.R. tracks, atthe Chemical Lime Co., for a dem- onsttration reforestation lot. It is hoped to plant around 54,000 treesthis spring.Companies participating in the diversion project are: North Amer­ican Cyanamid; Gypsum, Lime andAlabastine, Canada, Ltd.; William Stone Sons Ltd.; Chemical LimeCo., and the C.N.R.

A wind which reached 75 milesan hour at times hit Ingersoll andarea Tuesday night and left a trail of assorted damage behind. Somesaid it waa the strongest wind tosweep Ingersoll in some years. Two big expensive plate glasswindows which Mr. Roy Odell hadjust nicely got in his new garagewere smashed, and one in a neigh­boring apartment was blown in. A huge tree near the Alexandra Hos­pital was uprooted, and many oth­ers were reported down all over the county. Many residents reportedtheir homes shook to the wind.At the Cruqdin Airport meteor­ological office, Mr. Tom Dowling,range operator and radio meteorol­ ogical observer, said the windreached 75 miles an hour, the high­est since he’d been on the jobthere.“Between 55 and 63 m-p.h. is agale, between 64 and 75, wind storm,” he explained. “Above 75,it’s a hurricane force.” / Telegraph wires linking Ingersollwith the east were down and mes­sages to Toronto went via London.

Generally we find our­ selves wanting to do exactly the opposite, and it has taken a great deal of will power on occasion to resist throwing the radio, radiator-ground and all, right out the window when some particularly intellect-assaulting program came out of the speaker. But we can’t find enough words to laud the program of which we are about’to speak. It is called “Stage 49” and is carried by the CBC at 10 p.m. every Sunday. It is radio acting at its very best Some times the work is tragedy, others, comedy. Some times it is modern, other times, of the ages. But at al] times it is good— and good entertainment We would not say “it 'is good enough to go to the U.S.”, because we do not believe U.S. standards are the criterion. We would say that “Stage 49” is better than anything similar in the U.S. Last Sunday’s program, dealing with the im­ aginary “poet-laureate of Saskatchewan, Sara Binks”, kept us in stitches for the hour, and we will never forget a masterful presentation of the tale of the Ancient Mariner. We would like to see it done again. This Sunday’s program marks the fifth anni­ versary of stage 49. To all who have anything to do with it, we would say happy birthday, and best wishes for many more years of such enter­ tainment To Andrew Allen, Tommy Tweed, Bernard Braden, Lucio Agostini, Lister Sinclair, Mavor Moore, J. Frank Willis and all the others, we say it is wonderful stuff—keep it up. A Six O’Clock Town Merchants in one Canadian town have learnedhow to damage it as a shopping centre. It seems that two or three years ago, when customerswere kind of anxious, these merchants decided they were’nt going to stay open Saturday nightsany longer, nohow. Farmers would just have tocome to town in the daytime, whether or not they had to rush right back to milk and feed thestocl^and thereby miss the pleasant later-evening hours meeting folk from other concessions. One merchant refused to go along with the others. He kept his store open, though businessfell off, because people,' weren’t going to town just to shop at one store, and not a very big store either.The same merchant owned two other stores,each in a town not far away as time is reckoned in these days of paved roads and decent far*.And this merchant who, like all good merchants, has a keen ear for the music of the cash registerat work, reports that his sales in the two Satur­ day-night towns went up nicely week by week and have stayed up, while in the town where themerchants went modem, Saturday sales dropped ’way down. And have stayed down. The town, where of a Saturday parking space used to be asscarce as a buggy, became as quiet as a Sundayin Fergus. Advertising fell off in the local news­ paper. Bank managers became a little less smil­ing. And the merchants among themselves began to wonder who the heck had the idea in the firstplace.They’re all running old-fashioned stores again. Open on Saturday night to serve country peoplewho want to buy on that night But all.is notwell, yet for some of the old customers have come to like shopping in one or other of thetowns. And a shopping habit, like others, is oftenhard to break.—The Printed Word. 48 YEARS AGO Thursday, January 24, 1901 PERSONALS The death was announced on Thursday of Mr*.

How Natives Dive for Coins Told in Note from Morrows Local Police SayTraffic Signs Must Be Obeyed For Safe Driving Motorists must observe the stop signs and the traffic lights in Ingersoll, Corp). J. W. Callander, who is in charge of the Ingersoll Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, told The Ingersoll Tribune this week. The members of the detach­ ment will issue summonses to motorists who dis­ regard these traffic guides. The Tribune learned that motorists who are convicted of failing to stop for the signs and the lights are liable to lose their driving license under the regulations of the Highway Traffic Act Vi­ olations of the rules regarding the signs and lights is considered as careless driving. Good drivers will obey the traffic guides, real­izing that they were erected for their own safety* as well as that of others. The motorist who dis­ regards them is careless about his. own safety and be may cause an accident which will incur suffer­ ing to others as well as extensive financial loss. We commend Corpl. Callander and the mem­ bers of his staff on their efforts to curb the care­ less driving of motor vehicles. They are also go­ ing to check on the riders of bicycles who do not stop. The stop signs and the traffic lights, they warn, must be obeyed by cyclists and horse-drawn vehicles as well as automobiles and trucks. It is our hope that very few of our town and district people will receive a summons for having failed to obey the stop signs and the traffic lights. There should be the fullest co-operation on the part of all in obeying them. The laws which our police officers are enforcing were made by our elected representatives for the good of all. The motorist who drives carefully and courteously obeys the traffic signs and recognizes their worth to safe motoring. Icy Road* and Children With snow and ice again in prospect, streetsand highways become slippery and add to the hazards of driving. This condition of our mainthoroughfares brings with it a need for greatercaution on the part of motorists to avoid acci­ dents. Children may not really that cars cannotbe suddenly stopped on slippery roads and con­ sequently take greater chances. That they will dart out from the curb in the abandon of theirchildish play is certain. To stop them from doing so would be impossible unless the sidewalks were barred with guard rails.Thus it is a duty and responsibility of motor­ ists to drive their cars, particularly in school zones, in such a manner as to reduce to a mini­mum the dangers which arise from the thought­ fulness of children at play. Childhood is the happiest time of life, and toexpect children never to think of anything else but hazards of traffic is to deny them somethingof their birthright. Motorists have rights, weknow, but no motorist has the right to endanger human life; and too often have motorists takenrefuge in the alibi: “He darted right out infront of me,” when a maimed and still form lies on the pavement. The motorists who is reasonablycautious has his car always under control. Nearschool zones and other centres where children are numerous he drives out with the expectationthat some child will dart out in front of his car.The number of children, slain in the streets by motor vehicles is so appalling as to sicken thepublic mind. Motorists have a duty and a re­ sponsibility in this matter, which most of them strive to appreciate. Those who are too selfishto do so should be sternly checked.

At this meeting, the reports covering the society’s activ­ities in 1948', including its successful fall fair, will be presented. The meeting will also elect the of­ ficers Tor 1949. All members of the society and all citizens of the town and district who are interested in the work of the society should be present at this meeting. The annual fall fair is one of the most important events to be presented in the commun­ ity during the year, and in order to assure its suc­ cess the planning for it must be started at once. . There is much to be done in the planning for a fall fair. Prize lists must be revised, with liberal •mounts allotted for prize money and classes ar­ ranged to suit the progressive farming district ’ surrounding Ingersoll. There is entertainment to be engaged, including a midway. A fall fair is a community event. It should /have the interested co-operation of all. Our fair was held rather late last year and as a result the weather was -not too favorable for the attracting ' of a large crowd. The entries in the exhibit class- es. however, were large. If it is at all possible, we would suggest to the society that arrange­ ment* be made to hold the fair earlier in 1949. ~ Ingersoll is situated amidst one of the best farming district* in the Dominion of Canada. Our neighbors look to this town as their shopping centre, and this it the logical place for them to come to compete with their exhibits of livestock •nd produce of the aoil.

But there is another angle to business pro­ fits that cannot be over-emphasized. With busi­ness taxation as high as it is, with pension pay­ ments, compulsory payments for unemploymentinsurance, and several other benefits which nowmust come out of company earnings, manage­ ment finds it almost impossible to boost the per­ centage of company profit. About the only solu­tion which business has to increase profits is to make .and sell more and more goods. To do thatplants must be enlarged, or new branches mustbe opened. More men and women are needed for increased production. To enlarge plants, toadd to the payroll requires capital. Profits are thesource of the capital. Why then, “defend”’ pro- •fits?. They are the lifeblood of our prosperity.—Fort William Times Journal.V ■ " —— “Uncle” Going Broke Britain’s pawnbrokers are so hard up thatmany are going out of business. The SocialistGovernment is to blame. Their old-time patrons are now living in such an improved standard of living that there is no need to “hock” the familytimepiece, or the wife’s collaret, or the family’ssilver service on Saturday nights. In ( the old days if the head of the family was out of work,-.he picked up the nearest piece of household ornamentation or Matilda’s jewels and went tothe ne*4-est pawnshop for accommodation. Todayhe draws his unemployment pay and “Uncle” can go hang. The best that the English pawnbrokerscan do now is to look to the middle-class familywhich is under severe economic pressures.

It* Own Reward It depends largely on the individual how he orshe reacts to finding money or negotiable check*.Among most Canadians a strong inclination tohonesty prompts speedy restoration of the funds,or papers, to their rightful owner. If the latter wishes to express appreciation in tangible form, a reward is usually acceptable. The other day,however, when an Ottawa miss picked up an en­ velope containing war savings certificates, insur­ance papers and a <4,000 endorsed, negotiablecheck and turned it in to the manager of the store in which she found it, she reportedly re-ceived only thanks in recompense. To most people,, it would seem that gratitude might havebeen expressed in some more material form. Butwhy? A gift from the individual who benefitted from the honesty of the finder would be a gen­erous gesture. But is our society such that itexpect^ a reward from its members merely be­ cause they do the right thing.—Victoria Time*.

Any­one wishing to contribute books of this type may leave them at the li­brary to be sent along to headquar­ters with the library donation. The following most interestingletter, reproduced in part, was re­ ceived by Mrs. W. H. Arkell fromMr. and Mrs. Harry Morrow, whoare wintering at Christ Church, Barbados, in the British West In­dies: "We had a grand trip down on theLady Nelson. Stopped at six lovelyislands before we reached here.They looked so lovely from the ship—like green gems in a blue setting. At St. Kitts we got word the ‘Dukeof York’ was coming for a visit tothe island, so we were up brightand early to see first a frigate ap­pear on the horizon; then came thebig ‘Duke’ gleaming in the earlymorning .light, followed by a de­stroyer. ■ “The frigate anchored first, thenthe destroyer and after many sig­ nals flashing ‘His Highness’ cameslowly in and anchored between the two and when the flags brok* out we were thrilled and proud of ournavy, especially when so many aboard were Americans. Mr. Mor­row went ashore with the ship’sdoctor and watched the officers be­ ing received, flags flying and bandsplaying. He got talking to the Chief of Police of the island and found he was CoL Reg. Branch,brother of Dr. A. Branch. I watch­ ed the colored boys dive for coins.The water was so clear you could see the coin go down and them af­ter it. They never missed."We went to a cottage by the sea for November, the last vf the hotmonths and we did so enjoy it Thecoast on the Atlantic ride is veryrocky, cliffs 90 feet high. .. All the coast on that ride 1* steep androcky with here and there a cove ofthe whitest sand I ever saw.

He is Mr. FrankC. Crawford, now of New York, who was born on Oxford St, andwho, up until a few years ago, usedto make annual trips to Ingersoll, visiting his cousin, Mrs. Harry Mc-Mulkin. This week we received from Mr. Crawford, who is not too well, thefollowing letter: “Dear Sir: The several items and the il­lustrations in the January 6th issue of The Tribune are most interest­ing to me, and I extend to you my best wishes for the success of your new venture. The Tribune and itsfortunes are of especial interest to me, as I worked on it 70 years ago,in 1879-80-81, under Mr. Harry Rowland and am glad to see my copy of it every week. I am won­dering if there is still alive any one else who worked with me in those now far-off days. You may be inter­ested in knowing that for almost 50 year* I ran a successful job print­ing business in New York and dur­ing that time was, for five years, president of the Master Printers’Association of New York and vice- president of our International Or­ ganization and in 1912 started theBoard of Commercial Arbitration,which through the years has donq, and is still doing, much for theindustry. I did not start .this to tell you about myself, but to wish youluck and also to ask you to extendto Mr. Veale my congratulations and best wishes for many years ofhealth and comfort. I sold my bus­iness in 1932 and, until I was put out of circulation in September, 1947, I have been more busy in theindustry than when I was on the pay roll. Cordially yours, C.

Third In Debating Serie* The third debate of the l.C.I. De­ bating Club was held Wednesdayafternoon on the subject, “Resolv­ed that the movies are more bene­ ficial than injurious.” The affirm­ative was supported by Helen Hee­ney and Marilyn Hayes, while DonCarter and Murray Goldstein wereon the negative side. The judgeswere Lorne Groves, James Somersand Jim Miller. The president,Tom Douglas, presided.The affirmative said the moral of the moving picture story was good.Geography and current events weretaught by newsreels and if somemovies were not beneficial it wasnot the fault of the pictures, but of the education of the observer.The negative asserted that, whilethe moral of a picture may be good, the mere exhibition of criminal actscreates a lasting impression onyouthful minds. The lives of somemoving picture characters were al­so held up for disapproval.The judges’ decision, given byLome Groves, favored the affirm­ative, as did the decision of he au­ dience. Don Carter congratulatedthe winners and Jim Grimes ex­pressed the thanks of the audience to the judges.

That. was must implicit in the contract.”">I think if more people had readthe contract we wouldn’t hvae hadso many difficulties,” commented Mr. Preston. “Did you read it?”“Yes, I did” replied Mr. Buchan­an. “Did you?” “No,” Mr. Preston addmitted.William Tonks,. president of the Ratepayers* Association, said:“We’re just 16 years too late get­ting this town engineer. Had wehad one sooner we wouldn’t have hadsome of the troubles, we have now.”“We’re bound to make mis­takes”, said Councillor Morrison,”and when we find them, we correctthem. We’re not trying to be shod­ dy about it, or hide anything.” “We Can Thresh It Out” W. C. Watson, an ex-councillorand member of the Chamber ofCommerce, was told the contractor was liable for any damage to lawns,flower beds or private walks in. con­nection with the laying of Sewers from homes to the town system.He was told a certain amount of money had been held back from thecontractor to ensure all theseclaims were met“We’re lucky to have contractorswhere we can effect these hold­backs,” commented ex-mayor Riley. “If we couldn’t have got contractors like that, where would we have beenMr. Mayor?”“I’d be glad to discuss it withyou in my office,” replied MayorMurray. “That’s where I discussprivate matters."“I don’t mean this to be private”said Mr, Riley. “We can thresh it out in my of­fice if you want,”* invited themayor.Councillor Morrison, seconded byCouncillor Ranger, moved thatJames Hutson be named weed in­ spector at 380 per year, and JohnWilford, market clerk, at 310 amonth.“I thought all these arrangementswere made,” protested CouncillorEidt, “I hought they were made allright,” agreed the mayor. )"Call for the ayes and nayes,”suggested Mr. Morrison. “That’s theonly way to settle it.”The ayes had it, with only Coun­ cillors Kerr and Eidt dissenting.Max Antony was given permiss­ ion to operate a used car lot at 31 Thames St. South, providing it wasused for that purpose only.

Waste Gases Used PUTNAM(Continued from page 1) ' be put in has not been decided bycouncil, he said.Sewage from the south-east sec­tion of the town flows by gravity tothe Thames street pumping station, which is underground on the westside of Thames, at the south sideof the bridge. It lifts the sewageacross the river through a suspend­ed pipe into the main system. At the manhole into the pumphouse isa switch which starts a fan andblows out any sewage gases whichmight have accumulated. Gas Highly Dangerous “The gas is methane and highlydangeroufc^explosive,” said Mr. Schwenger. “That’s why you shouldhave traps in your home system.”The whole north side’s sewage flows by gravity.As the sewage reaches the mainplant it is lifted by big pumps up 18 feet to begin treatment in theseven treatment tanks. In the firstinstance it is separated, then air isforced in to hasten the biologicalprocesses, and in the last tank chlorine is added, and the wastewater pours into the river. Theheavier wastes, in the meantime, arepumped into a huge “digester”tank 20 feet deep and 45 feet indiameter and there the wastes “work” for 30 days. Then anywater is pumped back into thetreatment tanks and go through allthe processes, and the “dead" resi­due is pumped into six filter beds.When dried, farmers will be; per­mitted to take it away as fertilizer. Waste Gases Used Mr. Schwenger, explaining thatcold weather slows down processesin the digester tank, said the wastes are pumped through a hot water boiler and returned to thetank, “And believe it or not,” he add­ed. “we fire that hot water boilerwith the gases produced by the sewage. Also, we have radiantheating in the main plant, and weuse the waste gases to provide thatheating too.”Mr. Schwenger said 26 motorsdriving fans, pumping air and pumping sewage are used in the sy­stem, Some are duplicated, he eaid,in event of failure, or for cleaning purposes. But despite the numberof machines, a master control panelfitted with switches and lights en­ables one man to keep an eye onthe functioning of the whole plant,and take immediate action should anything go wrong. Work on the plant began inSeptember, 1947. It is officially described as “an activated sludgeplant, with digester and filterbeds." A good attendance was reportedat the Sunday evening church serv­ice.

INGERSOLL TILLSONBURG ----- Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 20,1949Annual Meeting of Shareholders The Royal Bank of Canada Sydney G. Dobion, President, declares private enterprise the very basis of Canada's progress and freedom—Right to take risks and reap rewards the major motivating force in country'sdevelopment—-“Socialism and communism are not systems of freedom, but of rationed democracy, in which liberty is doled out like social security benefits*’. James Muir, Vice-President and General Manager, reports new high records in field ofCanadian Banking—Royal Bank assets exceed $2,222,000,000—Deposits reach new Can­ adian record of $2,067,488,000—Profits moderately higher—$4,000,000 added to Reserve Fund. The threat to personal freedominherent in the Socialist and Com­munist philosophies, and the highpromise of Canada's future werestressed at the Annual Meeting ofthe Shareholders of the Royal Bankof Canada. “On the evidence beforethe world today, capitalism works"said Sydney G. Dobson, President. “It works so well that the lowestpaid workers in these North Amer-1 ican democracies are better fed,better housed, and better suppliedwith the comforts of life than arethe great mass of the populationof collectivist countries. And theyenjoy freedom?“Our successful development ofnatural resources confirms our be­ lief in private enterprise as thebest motivating force in an econ­omic system. All the naturalresources imaginable are uselessuntil they are brought out wherethey can be turned into serviceablegoods, and the primary seeker, the most successful finder, and thegreatest manufacturer has beenprivate enterprise.“Under this system people thinkhard and work hard because there are reasonable rewards. The needof incentives is recognized in everycountry where men are free to choose whether they shall work ornot work, and bow hard they shall.work.“In all collectivist economies—Communistic or Socialistic—the ideaprevails that dictators or bureau­crats can arrange the lives ofpeople better than people can do itffor themselves. Capitalism, on theother hand, believes that individu­ als should be free to express theirabilities and thereby bring abouta better standard of living and a better social order. “Our system hinges on initiative,the courage to invest capital, theright to take a reasonable profit from such enterprises as are suc­cessful and the obligation to standsuch losses as may be incurred in enterprises which fail. THREAT TO FREEDOM “Socialism and Communism do not seek to make the best ofpeople’s minds and enterprise. Onthe contrary, their process is to level all people by dragging downthose who might have superiorattainments. They need a strongcentralized government with con­trol .over all sections of the econ­ omy. They are not systems offreedom, but of rationed democ­racy, in which liberty is doled outlike social security benefits. Incen­tives are lost, and individual initiative is smothered. Standardsof work and product remainunimproved, because jobs are assured without regard for effic­iency or performance. The ambitionof men declines to doing just as much as has to be done and nomore. Progress is sacrificed to a worship of averages—and they areaverages somehow arrived at so asto be well within the reach of theleast progressive. Promotion onmerit is abandoned in favour ofpromotion in turn. Skilled workersreceive very little more than un­skilled workers. It is only naturalthat such a state of affairs shoulddrive the best brains out of acountry.“I believe in equality, so long asit ft equality of opportunity ineducation, careers and public life.Socialism is a force which holdsback, while enterprise is a forcewhich propels us forward, and givesmen and women a chance to dis­ play their talent and their worth." FOREIGN TRADE While Canada's export figureshad shown satisfactory gains during the past few months, Mr. Dobsonwarned that, “there is nothing inour foreign trade picture today about which we can afford to becomplacent. “Our present peak of business isbeing maintained to a large extentby artificial respiration in the formof credit from Canada and theUnited States. To realize our posi­ tion we need only imagine whatwould be the state of our com­merce—and therefore of our stan­dard of living—if the EconomicRecovery Programme and our own loans to Europe were suddenly cut off.“It is true that we can examineour^ rising export business of thepast few months with certain sat­isfaction. Last October saw usstrike a new high record in domes­tic exports, both in total and inshipments to the United States.Our total in the first 11 months of 1948 was >260 million higher than in the corresponding periodof 1947.”Turning to domestic affairs, Mr.Dobson noted that while the press­ure of demand has tended to pushprices steadily higher, there hasbeen a levelling off in the rate ofincrease. PRICES “It is with regard to prices", he said, “that the manufacturer andthe business man have their great­est worries. No matter how theybalance increased labour costs withtechnical advance, and other In­creased costs with prevention ofwaste, they art driven, in spite ofall their ingenuity, to raise pricesto their customers. “It seems to me that those whowork for wages are ill-advisedwhen they rush into demands which are planned to give them an imme­diate advantage through increasedwages, while taring right of the fact the* there is an important long­term aspect to be considered. How much money a -worker makes is far less significant than how much hecan buy, and if he is to buy any­thing at all his employer must beable to stay in competition withmanufacturers in the rest of the world.” ELECTRIC POWER The importance of Canada's hy­ dro-electric power development tothe national economy was empha­ sized by Mr. Dobson. Wide .-distri­bution of power and its healthydevelopment had been, he said, vital factors in promoting Canada’sindustrial progress and maintaining a high standard of living. , “Eachinstalled hydraulic horse-power, ifoperated continuously throughoutthe year, would be the equivalentof the power obtained from 4 tons of coal. On this basis, the presenthydraulic installation in Canadamight be said to represent theannual use of about 44 million tonsof coal.“There are still large reservesavailable for development. A gov­ernment tabulation shows 40 mil­lion horse-power available, and alittle less than eleven million devel­ oped by turbine installation.”Discovery of additional oil inAlberta and Saskatchewan was. a fevorable development to which Mr.Dobson made special reference. “Ithas become evident,” said Mr.Dobson, “that Western Canada, andparticularly Alberta, has becomeone of the brightest prospectsfor our future supply. It is fore­cast that by 1950 the oil require­ ments of our Prairies will be satis­fied out of home production and there may be a surplus availablefor other markets. This is import­ant because every barrel of oil produced and consumed in* Canadaconserves from three to five dollarsof United States dollar exchange. CONCLUSION “I believe that more attentionneeds to 'be paid to the educationof our people in the responsibilities as well as the advantages of demo­cratic citizenship. Too much stressis being placed these days, on hu­ man rights and not enough onhuman obligations. If it is reason­able for a man to expect to betaken care of when disaster threat­ens or strikes him, he should beeducated to know that he needs tocontribute his share to the welfareof the nation. I deplore the increas­ ing trend among a portion of theyounger generation today to thinktoo much of security and not enough about going out and reallyaccomplishing something for them­selves."We live in a world where weshould not expect to receive some­ thing for nothing. This is an old,old law recognized in economics,and no discovery by any politicalparty or reform faction has everfound a permanent substitute. Queer creeds based on ease andleisure maj rise and flourish for atime, but they always run into dif­ ficulty which can be overcome onlyby work." GENERAL MANAGER’S ADDRESS Mr. James Muir, Vice-Presidentand General Manager,- reviewed thebank's 1948 Annual Report and noted that new high water marksin the bank’s progress had beenestablished during 104K. Assetshad topped >2,222,000,000, a pointnever before reached. The bank’s liquid assets equalled 74.tt of allliabilities to th®1 public. Commercialloans in Canada\had also increased denoting “an expansion- of con­nections and .clients as well as thefulfilment of the addjtiqnal needs of old'customers.” Mr. Muir alsonoted a further substantial increasein the number of-depositing clientsand total deposits '.of >2,067,488,-000, an increase _of >133,303,000 over the previous year, and a newhigh jwater mark in the history ofthe bank. Earnijigtf had been mod­erately higher, and in addition toproviding for' the1 cifefomary de­ductions including taxes of >3,-150,000 and incresaed dividendsfor Shareholders, 'had enabled the bank, to transfer >4,000,000 to theReserve Fund which now totalled$44,000,000. Thb?left a carryforward in Profit and Loss Ac­count of >1,532,000. - AID TO TRADE The important role played by the Royal Bank’s extensive systemof foreign. branches in furtheringCanada's trade was stressed by Mr.Muir. “We have had a half-cent­ury’s experience in this regard,’’ hesaid. “Our oldest branch outside of Canada and Newfoundland, andstill in operation, is that in Havana.Cuba, opened- fifty years ago this spring. Apart from those in New­foundland. we have' at present 62branches outside Canada, and, in addition to this direct representa­tion which covers New York, Lon­ don, Paris and most South Ameri­can countries as well as the Carib­bean area, we have unusuallyextensive correspondent relationswith banks throughout the world. Your bank is in a preferredif not unique, position to facilitate,'as it has for many years facilitated,Canada's foreign trade activities. NEED FOR ENTERPRISE “Whatever the outlook for Can­adian buisne?* tn the short run, our long-run position should be secure.For our economic fortunes as anation depend, not on disturbingshort run ups and downs, but onour tremendous wealth in natural resources. Of course, natural re­ sources are of little use unlessthey are developed. And I agreeheartily, therefore, with what the President has just said about theneed for ambition and enterprise. “We Canadians might appraiseourselves and our possibilities alittle higher than we are inclined todo. No country on earth has afuture that promises to surpass oreven to equal ours. Whenever weforget that fact some Canadianvoice must speak out, reminding usboth of the greatness of our re­sources and the responsibility that rests upon us to take a matureand an ardent view of Canada'scapacity for economic development.Then, surely, a breed of cour­ageous, clear-sighted and Canada­ conscious men will arise who willbecome acutely seized of the factthat we are in duty bound to de­velop these resources and endow­ments and deal with them in ourday for the greater good of gener­ations of Canadians yet to- come. PRAISE FOR STAFF “It is no secret that public opin­ion of the bank is formed by andlarge through dealings with thestaff, and so the Royal Bank’s pres­tige is largely dependent on per­sonnel—for it is through them thatthe bank is known to the world, forwhat it is—good, bad, or indiffer­ent. In all modesty, I feel I canproperly say that the bank is heldin the highest esteem, not only inCanada but in the many countries where we have branches.“We have a large organization,10,567 men and women, and if there is sometimes a tendency formembers of the staff to feel thatthey Are but very small cogs in avast machine, I ask them to dis­miss the thought, for every singlejob in the bank is important—every single job must be well done. That our staff, both men and wo­men, are discharging these import­ant duties with untiring efficiency and in good spirit is properly exem­plified in the fact that the successembodied in this year's Annual Re­port is in no small measure due totheir efforts. The Executive are fully aware of this—and acknow­ledge it gratefully.“We have reason to be proud ofour staff and on their behalf 1 cantell the shareholders, the public and our clients that they can allrely on the knowledge that themembers of the staff will endeavour > continue to serve them well—with efficiency—with accuracy— and with friendliness.” LADY DUFFERIN CHAPTER Lady Dufferin Chapter I.O.D.E. met at the home of Mrs, RobertCarr, Oxford Street, Jan. 10, witha splendid attendance.

THAMESFORD ONTARIO Phone Kintore 17-R-9 or Ingersoll 449-J-13 The wild turkey is a game bird without equal in a world once wellprovided with game birds. He is beautiful as the autumn woodswhere he is hunted, fast on the wing and afoot, wary to a wonder­ ful degree. On the table he has anaroma and flavour that has made turkey the symbol of good cheersince the days of the New England Puritans and their first Thanksgiv­ing. And what a size I A day’s bag of lesser game birds could be used as stuffing for one ordinary turkeyand some of them would certainly gain flavour in the process.The original range of the wild turkey was Eastern United States, the forested part of the Mississippivalley and some of the south-west, extending down into Mexico, wherethe civilized Indians of long ago accomplished its domestication. A stranger with a view of Canada inits modern proportions and some idea of the southern type of forestwith which wild turkeys are asso­ ciated might be surprised to hear them motioned as Canadians birds,but they were once very decidedly associated with Canada. At one time the turkey was more commonin Ontario than it was in the ”cent states. In Only 15 Counties The total range included of fifteen counties: Essex,Lambton, Elgin, '*—’ mand, Welland,sex, Oxford, fcranu, wentwortn, Halton, Peel and York. Only in the first eight were they really abund­ant—an exceedingly limited range.The Province was still young when turkeys started to get scare.We don't need to look far for a reason. In the States, as far north as Pennsylvania, where they stillhang on none too securely, it has been found that it takes over 1,200 acres of range to produce one birdfor the game bag. The require­ ments were surely at least as largein Ontario where winters can bebad for ground feeding game, and as turkeys travel in flocks, the range per bird needs to be multi­plied accordingly. Our southern counties were settled early and wefind that in 1884 some of them showed the following percentagesof land in woods, which would be hardwood forest but not contigu­ ous: Middlesex, 35; Oxford, 17;Brant, 25; Norfolk, 24; Elgin, 30; Lambton. 40; Kent, 37; York, 22%. Turkeys need woods, notnecessarily contiguous, but still substantial. The conditions reveal­ed in this survey show too much clearing, even in 1884, to provide a place for them. As a matter offact their decrease marched with settlement. Gourlay wrote in 1822that they were “now scarce.”King’s ‘^Sportsman and Naturalist in Canada” said the gradual ex­termination of this noble birdproceeds slowly but surely year byyear,” in 1866. Nearly Wiped Out ■ In those days, there were temp- i orary natural checks, from whichthe birds recovered. For instance, in the winter of 1842 they were nearly wiped out by the severeweather. Yet in 1874, Forest and Stream records that visiting sports­ men had good hunting, and thereare excellent later accounts in the same magazine of turkey hunts un­der real Canadian conditions. De­ cember was a favorite month and the weather was some times verycold. In another decade, after Small’ssurvey, the turkeys were gone in most of these counties. This his­ tory duplicated that of the wildturkey in the adjoining states. In Minnesota, they were gone by1871, northern Indiana by 1870, in southern Indiana by 1900, in Michi­ gan by 1886, in Wisconsin by 1872.We may see that the turkeys in most of their range near Ontariowere gone before 1890. There is a certain ghoulish sat­ isfaction in tracing the. bones ofthe last survivor to the ultimate garbage can. We have been un­able to do so in Ontario and it maybe that some reader can help. The famous Edwyn Sandys wrote in1902, “Thirty years ago one could drive in almost any direction through the woods of Western On­tario and reasonably expect to see either the birds themselves or theirtracks crossing the snowy roads. Twenty years ago the range had narrowed to the big woods of thewestern tongue of Ontario. Ten years ago the last stronghold haddwindled to the wildest paits ofabout three counties. Today, there is perhaps a single narrow stripwhere one might strike a trail and possibly catch a glimpse of a flee­ing survivor of- the old-time hosts.” The last bird recorded from Elgin County was killed in 1889, but itwas from a flock and the fate of the others is certain but unrecorded. Afraid Turkey to Go In December, 1896, Charles Dur­ and saw one in a butcher shop in Toronto that had recently beentrapped at Petrolia in Larabton County. In 1900, Game Warden F.C. Quailins reported a flock in Kent, the last that we know of out­ side of Essex County. He wrotethat, “aa our timber is becoming depleted very fast, I am afraid theturkey will go.” adja- parts _____, Kent,Norfolk, Haldi- , Lincoln, Middle­ firant, Wentworth, hunters there, and some notable [ turkey feasts.I There was still an open season t on turkeys in 1910, but we suspect, that there might just as well have , been an open season on prong- November 1st to December 1st, andthere was probably the same num- . ber of turkeys as in 1910. In 1906,the season was longer, but were there any turkeys? In 1902, it was, “closed until November 1st, 1905.” The barn door was shut then and re­ opened later, but where was thehorse? Curiously enough, the ex­ port of their carcasses was prohibit­ed by the Customs Act in 1883 andthis was dropped only recently. We still carry them in our Game andFisheries Act. Extinct By 1904 They seem to have been present in 1902 according to Game Warden Quailins’ report In 1904, the ChiefGame Warden gave it as his view that there was no longer a wild tur­ key in the province.Today one sees a generation, many of whose fathers never heard of awild turkey, grooming every last inch of the rich soil. Bring it back?It would be just as reasonable to re­ introduce the bison to the prairie wheat belt In future, when theirrequirements will be better under­ stood, we may be able to keep aminimum population, say a pair or two, in some place like Rondeau, just to be able to say we have themin Ontario, without hope of increase. So far as the hunting goes we have long since eaten the cake, and verynourishing cake it was. In spite of the manner in whichtame turkeys roamed the bush, there was no confusion between them and the wild birds to anyone who knewthem. I have asked the turkey hunt­ ing generation how they were toldapart and felt the scorn in their an­ swer. There was never any question about a wild turkey. He who askedhad never seen one. Wild and tame turkeys are the same species, but thetame birds lack the power to go wildand it cannot be bred back into them. Wild turkeys can be produc­ ed only by wild turkeys.It is as clear as crystal then thatour wild turkeys were part and par- ,cel of our southern hardwood for­ ests. In spite of market hunting andlong seasons, and the high value set on them, they stayed with us. Thecurtain came down simultaneously on turkey and forest The last bird may have been shot, but if he was,it was the axe, and not the gun thatmade him the last St. James’ Church Choirs Elect Officers The choirs of St James* Angli­can Church held their annual meet­ ing and election of officers onThursday evening last in the ladies’assembly room of the parish hall, which was preceded by a pot lucksupper served by members of the social committee at 7 o’clock.

It was in Essex County the wild turkey was to make its last stand.As a child, I was fascinated by an uncle’s description of wild turkeyson a farm near Maidstone in the ’80’a. On cold mornings they would be scratching at the strawstack,near the barn, plumage iridescent in the first rays of the morning sun,something about their very pose and stride marking them as wild ata glance. As the woodshed door opened they raised their heads higher and higher until they seemedto grow as tall as men and as thin as rails, to take off in a flash, onmighty wings, when the door was thrown open. Across the road was a large unbroken stand of timber,which was doomed and which van­ ished in the *90’s or earlier.

The following letter about “The Mammoth Cheese," written by C. E. Chadwick, was published in The Ingersoll Chronicle, Friday, August 10, 1866: “When our old pioneer dairy­ man, Father Ranney, as he is called, commenced his operations in-*the Township of Dereham, some 25 years ago, making his cheese in the most primitive .way, and not under the most auspicious pros­ pects, little could he have even dreamed that he was laying the foundation of a business that was eventually to add so much to his own wealth and to the wealth and prosperity of the whole county.He has lived to see his undertaking a great success, and in benefiting himself he has set an example that has been very successfully followed by many around him. JThe history of our large cheese owes its initia­ tion and success to him, he being the first to experiment in this way; and when so successful in his ex­ periments from a 200-pounder up to 1,200 pounds, he, no doubt, thought the ultima thule had been reached, and he quietly sat' down and rested content under such well- earned laurels. A generous competitor of his old father, Andes Smith of Nor­ wich, having rather taken the wind out of his sales last year, by the manufacture of a two-ton cheese, our old friend determined that an­ other bold strike must be made and honors thus lost must be re­ gained, if not immediately by him­ self, by his family at least. Know­ ing that his son-in-law, James Harris, proprietor of the Ingersoll Cheese Factory, was an apt pupil of his, he commissioned him, under his direction to make a big cheese, and it is this monster that I wish to say something about After due consultation, Mr. Harris set about making his arrangements to manu­ facture the largest cheese, perhaps, the world ever saw; his first busi­ ness was to build a house, 16 by 18 feet expressly for it, and after getting the hoop and platform ready, the operation of collecting the milk and making the curd was commenced. The reader need be astonished when 1 tell him that one milking of seven thousand cows, making 35 tons of milk, was used in making three and one-half tons of curd, the weight of the cheese; it is six feet eight laches in diameter and three feet in height, was pressed by four screw presses under a pressure of many tons; the hoop, in addition to being well banded with iron, had one large flat bar on each side, set longitud- inately into the stave, - and well fastened In the centre of this bar, a three-inch hole was made into which iron levers iwith a shoulder on the end was inserted; these levers were again strengthened by being fastened to a large long oak scantling, which worked through a hole in each side of the building, by means of which a comparatively small force was needed to raise the immense weight, and it was turned upon this axis with the greatest ease. The arrangement it, I believe, the joint production of C. P. Hall and James Noxon- of this town; it certainly reflects credit upon their ingenuity as the immense weight is handled with perfect ease. In order to get the bandage on the monster, the hoop required to be cut in sev­ eral places; it took near 40 yards of white cloth to cover it; when out of the hoop the shape was per­ fect and the whole mass promises to equal the best cheese of the establishment; it requires to re­ main in the hoop from two to three weeks, when it will be banded with a galvanized wire screen, to make it keep straight and prevent so great a weight from settling out of shape. “It is intended to exhibit it at the Provincial Exhibition t in To­ ronto, and perhaps in several other places, when, I hope Mr. Harris will consent to have it sent to Eng­ land, as a specimen of what a col­ ony can do in this way; from there it should go to Paris, where it would astonish the whole continent by its exhibition at the Industrial Exhibition to be held there next year.” not SALFORDThe Women's Association and Women's Missionary Auxiliary metat the ham* of Mrs. Passmore forfirst meeting of the New Year.The new president, of the W.
