Dennis Allsop, who in­vestigated. "The whole train prob­ ably would have wound up in theriver.” Put Hands Over Hi* Eyes Suter, en route from Wallaceburgwith John Proctor, Toronto, as his helper, said he had just startedacross the tracks when his bigtruck stalled. '*1 couldn’t get it started at all,” he said. “Anothertruck tried to push but couldn'tbudge me. Then the crossing man started shouting at me to get offthe tracks that there was a traincoming. I grabbed a flare and ran up the tracks to try and flag itdown. I must have got up 400 feetwhen I saw it roaring down andknew it couldn’t stop in time.“I jumped off to the side, putmy hands over my eyes and wait­ed for the end. I just knew thattrain was going to hit my truck, transformer and all, and the nextminute railway cars would be onmy back. Then there was a terrific explosion and I looked down to seepart of my truck blazing madly almost at the station.” “I looked up,” said a man stand­ing on the station platform, “and all I could see was a mass of flamescoming down the track.” Suter said the train, described as one of the fastest in the country,which runs between Toronto andLondon with only three stops, hadhit his outfit just behind the cab. “The fuel tanks exploded setting the cab afire", he said. The trailerwas knocked neatly out from un­derneath the transformer, tearingaway heavy cables, but without dis­turbing the trtmsformer. Later ittook three heavy trucks five hoursto roll the transformer, nearly 15feet high, some 45 feet off the tracks to one side of the highway.“I’ll bet those pepole on the train (Continued on page 5) All aspects of an arena and arti­ ficial ice for Ingersoll will be ex­ plored by a committe set up last Thursday when a group of repre­ sentative citizen* met in council chambers to discuss the situation. Members of the Y’s Men, the Ki-wanis, Chamber of Commerce,Lions, community (centre, hiffi, school, fair board, South Oxfordrural hockey leagne and othergroups heard that a new arena and artificial ice, a vital need, wouldcost up to $175,000.Dr. M. E. Jarrett called the meeting and Bert Carr acted assecretary. The following were named to the committee: J. R.Henley, K. R. Ford, Gordon Pit-Cock, Dr. Jarrett, Ross Fewster, Herb. Baker, Jack Herbert, A. D.Robinson, Sam Wadsworth, W. R.Marshall, L. Martin and LeighSnider. They will investigate thefollowing points:1. Chances of increasing seat­ing possibility of present arena.<2. Possibility of putting arti­ ficial ice in the .present arena, andand acquisition of adjr .ent land’to inrease parking room. 3. Cost, etc., of putting up anew arena, with brand new equip­ment.4. Possibility of moving thepresent arena to the fair grounds, and thus be able to get provincial and federal aid.5. Investigate the various poss­ ible ways of financing such a pro­ject, and determine what govern­ment aid might be available.6. Look into possibility of in­stalling a cooling system in present arena, which would bring tempera­ture down as much as 10 degreesand permit natural ice all the time.Warwick Marshall, town solicitor,pointed out that the town’s deben­ture debt now hovered around the$1,000,000 mark, and said themunicipal board had indicated Ing­ ersoll would not be allowed anyfurther aid until the hospital, sewerand other programs were out of the way.

Mr. Milne is being featured because the Ingersoll plant was Borden’s first in Can­ada, and “Jimmy” has been withthe company 45 years. In a way, the broadcast willbe a farewell for "Jimmy” as heis scheduled to retire this year. Mr. Jenvey is being featured because 50 years ago, at the age of 17, in his dad’s old democrat, he drove the first load of milk to the brand new Borden's plant. On the broadcast, which will be attended’by 900 Bordenemployees and their families,Mr. Jenvey will introduce Mr. Milne.

Arthur Welsh, min­ ister of planning and development, told The Tribune by long distance telephone today. "It is on its way through,” be said, “but now has to go throughthe departments of lands and for­ests and public works. We’re allvery sympathetic to the undertak­ ing. It is a very necessary work,and the whole TVA program willdo a lot of general good. It will be of great benefit to Ingersoll—per-tainly prevent a great deal at dam­age, anyway.”Col. Welsh said that although hisdepartment had given the project approval, it would not be right forhim to say the scheme had beenfinally approved, since the other departments were in on it, too, andthey would have to give formal ap­proval before the cabinet could fin­ally piuss the order-in-council en­abling the work to proceed.However, Hon. Harold Scott,minister of lands and forests, indi­cated approval by his department would be simply a formality."After a project had been thor­oughly gone into and approved by planning and development,” hetold The Tribune from Toronto,“we don’t usually hold it up in any way." While Hon. G. H. Doucett,minister of works could not bereached, it was learned his depart­ ment will be approving the programtoo. Gordon Pittock, Ingersoll dele­gate to the authority, was jubilantat Queen's Park hints the programwas going through. Once theorder-in-council is passed, he said,tenders will be called, with the in­sistence "the work must start im­mediately.” “If everything goes okay,” he said “they should start digging byApril 1.” The provincial government con­ tributes 37% per cent of the cost,and guarantees a further 87% percent the dominion is supposed tocontribute.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27th, 1949 NOT TOO MUCH It is well for one not to try to do toomuch each day.

Modem Arena To Build Citizens Is Best Memorial To Veterans A group of interested citizens met in town council chambers the other night to discuss a new arena and artificial ice for Ingersoll. The men gathered together represented town council, the community centre, Kiwanis, Lions, Y’s Men, the fair board, high school, the South Oxford Rural Hockey League, and other organizations. As a result, a committee wps formed to investi­ gate all angles and then report what could be done. There is no doubt that in a modern, progress­ ive town, a modern arena with artificial ice is needed. That is, if the community fully realizes what a vital necessity are good recreation facil­ ities in the development of a happy, wholesome youth and responsible citizens. What happens to a winter sports program if there is no artificial ice is clearly illustrated by our plight this season. The weather has been such there has been little or no ice, and the hockey and skating program of at least 12 communities besides Ingersoll has been completely wiped out Such an arena is not a luxury; it is a necess­ ity, and more and more communities are realiz­ ing it Many places much smaller than Ingersoll, and not nearly so important have their arenas and artificial ice. Others are planning them. Sarnia Memorial Arena opened Saturday night The public contributed $250,000 to build it. In New Toronto, a campaign is well under way to raise the same , amount for an arena seating 3,000. It will also be used for basketball, la­ crosse, tennis and roller skating. In Oakrille, plans have just been completed for a $170,000 arena, as the nucleus of a recreation centre. A quarter-mile track, baseball diamonds, and tennis courts will be added. The proposed arena would be built in a park, giving ample scope for inclusion of almost any type of sport. Oakville plans include dancing, wresting and bingo games for the non-hockey and skating months, and Mr. Fred Turner of tho Oakville Sports Association, estimates an annual income of $10,000 from it ' No one at the Ingersoll committee meeting denied the need for an arena and artificial ice. On the contrary, most saw it as a vital need. But where to get the money—the estimated $100,000 to $175,000—was the big question. In Sarnia, the public contributed the $250,000 to erect the arena as a memorial to their veterans of World. War II, In New Toronto, the campaign is for the “war memorial arena.” Victory (Memorial school is Ingersoll’s memor­ ial to her veterans of the first great war. We think that a modern arena dedicated to the in­ terests of youth and the future citizens of this country is the finest memorial that could be raised in honor of her veterans of the second great war. We think those men and women who did not return would be the first to agree. But, let us not rush in with some half-baked, make-shift scheme. Let us not try putting arti­ ficial ice in the old, ill-placed arena. Let us not try to move the old arena to a new spot, spending a lot of money getting nowhere. Rather let" the new committee delve deeply into all aspects of building the finest, most modern recreation arena there can be, not just for now, but for the future. Let them find a site where spectators can park and where children can go without dodgingonain highway traffic. Then, when the new sewage plant has started operating, and the new hospital is receiving patients and the people feel they've got their heads above the financial water at least a teeny bit, then let us ask them to build the Ingersoll Memorial Arena. We think they’ll do it, andgladly. Old-Age Pensions More Acceptable If Recipient* Pay Towards Them We concur with the Farm Forum of the 2nd concession of West Oxford in the decisions which resulted from discussions at its meeting last week. The meeting, reported in The Inger­ soll Tribune, discussed the subject of old-age pensions. It was agreed by the members of the Farm Forum that old-age pensions should be received at the age of 65 by all, and that the amount of the pensions should be Increased. It also agreed that all working people should contribute to­ wards the pensions. Wo were particularly pleased to see the subject of old-age pensions discussed at the Forum's meeting. In our opinion, the payment of pensions in old age is something which could bo greatly improved. Lest this be misunderstood, we wish to state that the present method of paying pensions is a very good one, and it has been the means of providing much comfort-to a great many people, but it can be improved. We think that every person in the country should bo eligible for a pension at a certain are—65 would be an ideal one. But we don't think that it should be ncm-contributory. We would like to a national pension plan intro­ duced, under which payment* into! the fund would be made by Lhe worker^ the employers, THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 27, 1949........................... I ........ 111 '' -....... • .........' ■"and the government Instead of smacking ofcharity, it would be earned security. Workers today have deductions taken from their wages for unemployment insurance and income taxes. Why not another deduction to provide for a pension in old-age? The average worker is uhable to lay, away enough money to care for himself and his wife when he is no longer able to carry on at his job. He can look forward to the present old- age pension scheme, but he would much rather anticipate the arrival of a time in his life when he could retire and receive a pension into which he had contributed during his working years. We think the average worker would be rather proud of enjoying the mellow yearst of his life on such a pension. We hope that it will not be too long before the government of our country introduces a contributory pension plan. There may be a continued needl for the present system long after such a new plan is operating, as, many for various reasons, might not be contributors. The care of the aged is an important obligation upon a country, and our Dominion of Canada has accepted it splendidly. It could be continued as a direct charge upon taxation, or it could be changed to follow the suggestion we have made and the ohe which the Farm Forum in West Oxford proposes also. We appreciate something we have paid for oursselves much more than we do something for which we have no tangible record payment On Tuesday evening, Jan. 23rd, Annie Tarrant, wife of Roger Crooker, passed away after several months* illness.

Winter Is Best Gardening Time As Dazzling Catalogues Arrive While winds blow and snow piles in drifts on the roads and in the driveways, one can be obliv­ ious to winter’s ways within the warmth of home these days and revel in pictured beauty of the summertime. This summer in winter comes in package form through the post office and when the package is opened there appears to de­ light the eye all the gorgeous colors of a summer flower and vegetable garden. This is the time when the seed companies issue their annual catalogues. And like the sun dazzles the eyes on a clear day over snowclad vistas, so does the colorful seed catalogue on its arrival. We have always thought that seed com­ panies are well acquainted with psychology, else they wouldn’t send their catalogues out when the garden is deep under a bed of snow and ice. The arrival of the seed catalogue is a delight­ ful interlude to the winter. It is a treasured book—for the present, the Library holds no vol­ ume so filled with enjoyment as it Ensconced in an easy chair with slippered feet upon the stool, the “book of the winter” provides many a de­ lightful evening. Winter is the best gardening time of the year. One sits and reads the seed catalogue, the while there is visualised a garden ablaze with colorful flowers and vegetables that excel the best grown in other years. There are no weeds and no pests to bother the winter garden, for one just doesn’t see them in the neat and attractive garden spread out before one from the vantage point of an easy chair in a cosy, room. Winter gardening is a very enjoyable pastime. One doesn’t experience any backaches from ted­ ious pulling of weeds dr wielding a spade or hoe in hard ground. It is enjoyed by the dyed-in-the wool gardener and the would-be gardener alike. The former, of course, is seriously intent upon the plans he will carry out when spring comes. The latter may perhaps lose some of his enthus­ iasm after the early days of garden preparation are over and the fishing season opens. Then, for him, the garden is second to fishing and the en­joyment of sports. Appreciation is due to the seed firms which pre­ pare and send out the beautifully illustrated cat­ alogues. To them it is a business proposition, and they are repaid when the long orders of seeds come into their offices from the winter gardeners. Nevertheless, whether one orders seeds or not, the arrival of the seed catalogue is a sure harbinger of glorious summer days ahead. And when one spends an evening or so with the catalogue, one is lost to the penetrating winds that blow out­ side. What Others S a y : LOVE'S 60*CLIFF LOVEDruggist On .Saying ‘Good Morning!' Others have perhaps noticed that among ourrising generation are a species of youths who Branch Office: Room 506, 291 Dundas Street, London A. C. Turner, C.L.U - Branch Manager District Representative J. Hnatuk - Ingersoll, Ontario That Objectionable Sales Tax One reason why high prices tend to spiral is. that percentage taxes increase with the cost ofthe article on which they are levied. The result of high prices plus high taxation increase theamount of money a merchant has to keep tied upin stock, and the interest on this has to be reckoned with, in pricing the goods for retailsale. The manager of a western department storehas referred as follows to the effect of the 8 per cent, sales tax in this respect:“This item,, due to greatly increased cost ofgoods, is away'■put of line. For instance, in thefs'e of a pair of overalls on which the tax in1940 amounted to H cents, the tax is now 25 cents, being passed on to the consumer by manymerchants at 37% cents or more. This itemalone on a pair of overalls is being passed to the consumer at more than the gross profit on thesame overall in 1940. The federal sales tax should have been reduced long since. The public will expect a substantial beginning in that respect in the next Ottawa budget It w m a bod tax when prices weremore modmik. It is « worse tax now that pricesare high—The Toronto Star. 350,000 CLIENTS who have entrusted substantial amounts of their life savings to the Manufacturers Life ...

No doubt a few of the ones we havt metmay have been suffering from a stomach ailmentat the moment we met them, but in too manycases our civil “hello” or “good morning” iB re­ turned by nothing, more than "ugh", or astrong silence. , realize we may be unpopular with a fewfellow-citizens, but we are still sure that the lack of geniality exhibited by many of our teen­age lads is fostered by an ignorance of the valueof cordial human relationships, which includes.'being civilly pleasant to others. Our system of free enterprise with its keen and .ever-present competitive angle has, we sug­ gest, no place in the ranks of success for indiv­iduals who cannot step forward with a smile andreturn the greetings and compliments of otherswith like pleasantries.

Already well established asone of the most popular writers ofhistorical fiction^ Mr. Costain will please Canadian readers especiallythis time by using early Canada asthe setting for this new novel. It is the story of the great LeMoynefamily of Montreal, their adventures and romances In French Canadaand later as founders of the city ofNew Orleans. Thomas Costain wrote his first novel when attend­ing High School at Brantford, but like all his early work it was re­ jected by publishers. One of hisearly books, “Step-children of His-tory”, a publisher was willing to ac­cept but hesitated to waste suchwonderful material on a single .5°“*,,^ Y®8 from this manuscriptthat Costain took the outline for his five famous best-sellers.Another excellent historical ro­mance is “The Burnished Blade” oy Lawrence Schoonover. The set­ting for this book is France afterthe martyrdom of Joan of Arc and later the story reaches a peak of high adventure amid the barbanc splendour of Asia Minor.“The Shining Mountains”, byDale Van Every will appeal to allmen who enjoy the wide west of the early frontier. It takes place atthe time of the Lewis and Clark expedition and is the story of MattMorgan, trader and consul, and ofBaptiste and of Nora; a robustnovel with an authentic back­ ground. A much quieter sort of story isthe new book by Marion Keith,“Yonder Shining Light”, the lovestory of a minister's daughter and an air force padre, with the shores of Georgian Bay to providea more familiar setting. Readerswho lamented the recent death of Grace Livingstone Hill will be gladto know that the book she was working on before she died hasbeen completed By her daughterand is now available. It is called “Mary Arden.” The newest biography at the lib­rary is the outstanding study ofRoosevelt and Hopkins, by one ofAmerica's leading dramatists, Rob­ ert Sherwood, and spoken of by re­viewers as' “one of the most im­portant inside* stories of the war.”It is a large and detailed bookfilled with all the personalities of the time.A biography of an entirely dif­ ferent kind is “Wayfaring Sti an­ger”, the story of Burl Ive» whohas become famous as a singer ofAmerican folk ballads.

Murray, “it is imperativethat wo get a man down there right away.” No action was taken on appoint­ment of a town engineer, but Town Clerk R. E. Winlaw wasasked to check with municipal! affairs authorities at Queen’s Park whether the new setwage disposal!system could be handed over to the public utilities commission. Councillor Healy felt the com­mission should operate it “I’ve spoken to them a bit aboutit,” said the mayor, “but they justlaughed” “I wrote the municipal board,” said Mr. Winlaw, “but I never gota reply.” He will check again. The mayor said he. had had twc applications verbally from . youngLondon men for the town-engineer job, and they may be heard at a later date.“Do we need a resident engin­ eer?” asked Councillor Healy.“We do,” asserted Councillor Ranger. “We" can’t afford it,” differed Councillor Healy. 400 House* Linked Charlie Wilson, formerly withCyanamid at Niagara Falls, and Polymer Corp., Sarnia, ^personally applied for the job of running thesewage disposal plant Mr. Winlaw said that about 400 homes were connected to the new sewage sy­stem.Councillors Wurker and Healy felt Mr. Schwenger should appearbefore council and outline exactly what a man would have to do at the sewage disposal plant and whatqualifications should be required. "I don’t think Mr. Schwenger wants to be here,” said the mayor.“I think he feels he doesn’t wantto interfere with council’s bus­ iness.” Council decided to deed to theIngersoll Cheese Co. 18 feet of land along Wonham St. North, be­ tween the CNR tracks and VictoriaSt, which the cheese plant alreadyoccupies. Councillor Wurker and Ranger voted against the move. “I think we’re making a big mis­take,” Wurker said. “I can see Wonham St. once again, some day, a through thoroughfare. Whenthe Thames is straightened, with all that new land available, there will be expansion here even we can’t contemplate. We’ll need an­other good connecting link between the north and south ends, and Won­ ham street may well be it.”Warwick Marshall, town solici­ tor, said TV A authorities had ex­ pressed the view that the land in the vicinity of the disposal plantwould be a “natural” for a muni­ cipal park. — TOBOGGANING Whether you prefer a toboggan skisor bobsleigh—Ontario’s rolling countryside makes great wintersportterrain.

Because the history of this com­pany for the past 50 years has been so entwined with the historyof Ingersoll and area, the Tribunefelt the story would be read with interest by all. GAIL Borden’s neighbors didn’t sayhe acted strangely. You didn’t saythat about a man with the be- whiskered dignity of Gail Borden,even if he did do things that were . . .well ... a little unusual, to say the least . . .So goes the chronicle of the man whose meat biscuits saved the lives ofArctic explorers and sparked the devel­opment of condensed milk out of which was born The Borden Company, Limited.Gail Borden’s neighbors thought heacted strangely when he took them for a ride in a strange contraption. It hadwheels, yet it wasn’t a wagon; it had asail, but it wasn’t a boat.It was a long schooner, applying onland the principles used by sailprs on thesea. It harnessed the wind and did it soeffectively that the first and only trippiled the passengers and driver Borden,into the sea.Gail was the first , to admit theschooner was a failure. But, the man who, throughout his lifetime, was to runthe gamut from farmer through survey­or, settler, teacher, soldier, publisher and inventor, turned his inventiveness into other channels.During the gold rush in California some friends asked Borden to help themprepare for the journey. He promisedto make them a meat extract they could use along the trail.Borden’s goal was an adaption of In-dian pemmican, which kept fairly well but had a bad flavor. Gail wanted atasty meat extract. He boiled 120 poundsof beef into ten pounds of extract thick as molasses and smelling like glue.Failure turned into success when Gailmixed flour with some of the extract. » Kneaded into a biscuit, baked and left\ overnight to cool, it became a meat bis­cuit rich in flavor and food value. 68 pounds of milk, yet it was fortunatefor young Jenvey that the wagon washigh, because it was level with the door­ way at the factory and made unloadingeasier.It wasn’t long before the democratswere cut down and then replaced withplatform spring wagons made especiallyfor patrons of the condensary. Thefarmers found hauling milk was hard onwagons, Running every morning over stone roads soon loosened the felloes andtires and these needed frequent selitng.To speed up this type of work the wagon shops introduced the cold set.The Ingersoll factory revolutionizedfarming in the district Up to the turn of the century, dairy farming had been apart-time affair; a summer business tobe almost ignored in the winter, and cows were permitted to go dry and thefarmer turned his attention to feedinghis stock, repairing his equipment and doing the hundred and one things on afarm which are neglected in the springand summer.“The establishment of the condensingfactory had* many beneficial results in the Ingersoll area,” Mr. Jenvey recalls."Dairymen received a good training onsanitation in the stables and in feeding dairy cattle. Utensils had to be clean.Winter dairying was brought into exist­ence and milk production of the herdsincreased. With the extra money receiv­ed, the farmer improved his premises andmore farmers were induced to becomedairymen.”There was no ceremony to mark the birth of an industry which was to havesuch a marked effect on the economy ofOxford County. Two men, Finlay Mc­ Intyre, who had supervised constructionof the plant, and Walter Knight, the firstsuperintendent, were sitting on the plat­ form when young Byron drove up withhis father’s first load of milk for the con-densaly. After delivering the milk, By­ron hustled back home to change hisclothes before he walked nearly three miles to the Ingersoll Collegiate.

Kane andhis expedition’ were forced to abandon ship and it was their chief fbod on a10-week trek 'across northern wastes.Milk entered the Borden picUire in 1851 bcause of a tragedy on the shipcarrying Borden back from a trip toEngland. Two cows carried on board became sick. Babies fed milk from thesecows grew ill. Some of them died.The picture of the heart-brokenmothers holding their dying infants intheir arms kept returning to Gail. Hehad preserved meat by condensing it; why wouldn’t the same process keep milkfrom souring? Five years later, after fighting toestabllish his claim of originality, Bor­den was granted patents ‘covering the evaporation of milk in a vacuum pan. Manufacturing difficulties, lack ofbackers, pressing debts dogged Gail for years. Creditors sued him; the situationseemed hopeless when he boarded a trainone day for New York and sat downbeside Jeremiah Milbank, a banker. Anhour later Milbank advanced money tosettle Borden’s debts and get the con­densed milk business going again.The company, founded by Borden and Milbank, whose grandson is today chair­man of the board of officers, has becomea partnership of 51,000, who now share in the ownership of the company in Can-adad and the United States and manyother parts of the world. While the Borden Company in theU.S. dates its birthday back to 1857—92 years ago—in Canada we date ourstart from the commencement date inIngersoll, Ontario, in 1899, of the firstplant we acquired in Canada. Some ofthe companies which joined Borders inCanada go back even earlier—in one of dancing Topsies in a circle of lightand as they danced, their shadows flick­ered across the stage to where a strong leash held in tow the "world’s largestbloodhound”, more than 80 pounds inweight and valued at $1,000. Out of the open windows, too, camesnatches of applause for the members ofStetson’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin Company, performing on the stage.This was the Ingersoll scene in April,1899. On the desk of Ingersoll’s mayor lay apetition from town doctors seeking per­mission to ride their bicycles on the sidewalks. They based their request onan old English law which decreed thatdoctors should make their calls using the shortest possible distance.The petition awaited action because themayor and other members of the councilwere in Buffalo inspecting road ma­chines. Bicycles could be bought for $12and advertisements proclaimed the ad- vantajfcs of automatic whistle cyclealarms.'The world was still a year away from the 20th Century. There were no aero­planes, automobiles, or radios. The richgoldfields of northern Ontario and Que­ bec lay hidden in a wilderness of muskegand blackflies. With only 5,000,000people, Canada was still a country of farms and forests. Saskatchewan andAlberta were six years away from be­coming provinces. From Manitoba to the Rockies, there were only 100,000 settlers,sparsely scattered across two millionsquare miles. No Income Tax Crow's Nest Pass over the Rockies was opened to rail traffic, and the C.P.R.imported Swiss guides to teach mountainclimbing at Banff. In the west there was talk about opening a Hudson’s Bay routeto Britain, and Toronto city council setaside $5,000 to learn the best route toJames Bay.

The Toronto World, deadthese many years, had the largest circu­lation of any morning paper yin Canada,and Henty had just written 'three newbooks for boys. No one had heard of aYukon bank clerk named Robert Service.Within Canada there was a restlessexpansion, ferment, the pushing back offrontiers. The young giant was nearingmanhood.At Niagara Falls a new suspension bridge was begun and there was a breadwar. The price of a loaf dropped fromsix' cents to one and a half cents. The The St. Charles Condensary located inIngersoll mainly through the efforts of the late Thomas Seldon, who was mayorin 1888 and 1889. He met Mr. McIntyrewhen he and other officials of the com­pany were surveying Oxford County fora suitable site for a Canadian plant. Ac­cording to James G. Milne, who retires as superintendent of the Ingersoll plant thisyear (1949), "the town council purchas­ed the land for the company and also furnished them with a source of waterxsupply..”The-water was found two miles from the plant, in a bush, and piped to a res­ervoir in front of the factory. The res­ervoir is still being .used although now it is supplemented by a deep well.The St Charles plant at Ingersoll wasbarely into full production when the Got 15 Cents a Day The stage was set for the prediction of Sir Wilfrid Laurier that "the Twen­tieth Century belongs to Canada.” Early in 1899 Cecil Rhodes asserted confidently that there was no possibilityof war wijh the Transvaal.. Yet beforethe year was out, the first Canadian troops ever to fight abroad had sailedfor South Africa. They were equippedin Canada, newspapers of the day re­ porting proudly that ‘Tine elastic wasused in their braces”. Their wives athome received a separation allowance of 15 cents a day, with five dents for eachchild under 16.It marked the end of an era, and thebeginning of a new age.In a King Street building in Ingersoll,milk from the cows of Oxford countybubbled in evaporators. Tin-making.machines pounded with a steady rhythmand out in the country, horses and carts were rumbling over dirt roads, the clat­ter of tin cans punctuating the pound­ing of steel shoes. Here, where the daily output of thou­sands of cows found Its way into tins and- formed a substantial part of Inger­solls monthly exports, a new chapter inCanadian dairying industry began. For here,’what is now The BordenCompany, Limited, began, with Ingersollproviding the starting point for the sec­ ond lap in a venture which had its begin­ning many years before in a man’s desireto give the world condensed milk. The morning which saw the opening ofthe St. Charles Condensary was brightand sunny. The weather was dry, be­cause Byron Jenvey, who delivered thefirst load of milk to the condensary, tooka short cyt to school that morning andcrossed the river flats without gettinghis feet wet. The horse he drove to the factory wasold "Dan”, a bay, standing about 17 hands.He was chosen because he was the least nervous horse on a farm where heavydraught horses were used for the harderfarm work and a lighter team was kept for other farm chores and for travelling.“It was fortunate for me that Dan was of a quiet nature,” Jenvey recalls. “Atthe factory we unloaded the milk rightunder the window where the steam from the can-scalding machine shot out overthe heads of the farmers’ horses and, formany years, caused many disasters.”Byron Jenvey’s early morning rideover stony Ingersoll roads in a democrat from which the two rear seats had beenremoved 'to make room for the milk cansheralded vital changes In the economic standards and farming methods of thedistrict The only spring wagons in the district were the democrats which were used forchurch going and visiting, and the lum­ ber wagons with portable springs on thebolsters. A small load of milk wouldn’thold down the springs of the heavy wag­ons, so the democrats were used. Hard on the Wagons These wagons were high and it tooktwo men tu.loid the milk cans containing Borden's condensed and affectionately Borden’s “Tin Cow” under the name "Eagle Brand" went north with the min­ers into the Klondike gold rush even be­fore Borden’s began operating in Can­ada. When we remember that Gail Borden got into the milk business through hisconcern for children and the milk theywere being given, it is not surprising thata thriving department of Borden’s shouldbe founded on the development of form­ula foods for childfen and healthfulfoods for both children and adults.A recent addition to the Borden fam­ily of products is Hemo, a chocolate-flavored food drink with added vitamins.It is manufactured at Ingersoll, thebirthplace of Borden's in Canada.

"I recall having a small part in thecalculation made to estimate the amount of milk produced within horse-haulingdistance of the proposed site of the fac­tory. I drew a map of the district with­ in a road radius of five or six miles. Thenumber of cows was estimated and theaverage production was secured fromcheese factory statements. At that timethere were cheese factories every few miles which had capacities of 300 tons ofcheese per year,” Mr. Jenvey recalls. The birth of Borden’s in Ingersoll, Ca­ nada, took place in a two-storey brickand stone building, surrounded by lawns.Offices for the plant were located in aseparate brick building. Until the name of Borden appeared ona sign running across the front of thebuilding, the plant had been operated bythe St. Charles Condensing Company, a branch of the company of the same namein St. Charles, Illinois. In those early days, when the princi­ ples of mass production were just begin- The Rise of Elsie RAIL BUILDERS CALLED IT “THE TIN COW” When Gail Borden, in rebellion againstthe milk practices of his day, turnedfrom land schooners and pdnunican tothe distribution of a safe, popular milk,he little dreamed that he was’ laying thefoundation for the glorification of thesource of his raw material. ; There are few who do not; know who"Elsie the Cow” is and that shcl too, is aBorden product, the result of! |he think­ ing of several pioneering advpttising ex­ecutives who felt that milk ‘advertisingwas too dull, too sober and toofstuffy.Elsie the Bovine Beauty q in sharpcontrast with the bearded, stately, scien­ tifically-minded Gail Borden. Yet now,more than 90 years after Borden's firstbusiness venture, Elsie The Gow has be­come a symbol of the ideal that motivat­ed Borden—good, safe milk. . To Canada belongs part of the creditfor -Elsie as we know her today.The great experiment began in 1936 in what was then considered the tough­est trying ground of all—the medicaljournals, Caricature cows Were intro­ duced into medical publication ads. Elsieappeared three times. Response was suchthat doctors asked for hundreds of extraproofs. This brought a natural-the wider use of Elsie in geftetiadvertising and that, in turn, flappearance, in effigy, at lliFair. J I The Borden Company hdd' i-ansition—tral Borden[led to hert World’s South African war began and just asGail iBorden’s first plant at Wassaic, N.Y., did during the civil war in the U.S.,the original Canadian Borden plant op­erated almost entirely on war orders ofevaporated milk. Many years later, in both world wars, Borden production, notonlv of evaporated milk but powderedmilk, milk and powdered eggs, was geared (o increasing export demands. In the early days tne condensary pro­ vided the farmers with milk cans withoutcharge. The cans, when filled to theneck, held 68 pounds of milk. Only part­ cans were weighed at first, but with con­stant use cans became badly dented andit was necessary to weigh all the milk.Milk contracts at that time required thatthe farm should deliver, two-fifths of his yearly production in the winter and■three-fifths in the summer. Weighing was done by two men wear­ing leather gloves, who lifted the cansalmost shoulder-high to empty them. Milk, which was not cooled to 58 degreeswhen it arrived-at the factory was re­jected. The milk can of 1899 had a re­ cessed cover in which a block of ice wasplaced by the farmer to keep the milk down to the required temperature. Touch Was Enough Introduction of modern cooling sys­tems on farms, daily pickup by milktransports and the speed with which thefew farmers who still deliver their milkpersonally can get it to the factory, havebeen responsible for one of the fewchanges over the years in the design ofmilk cans. Gone is the recessed cover inwhich the farmer placed a block of ice.Somewhat of a “miracle man” to In­gersoll farmers, 50 years ago, was the human thermometer who checked themilk aa it came in. He became so expertat judging the temperature of a can thathe seldom needed to use a thermometer.He just ran his fingers up the side of the can and announced that .the milk was 58or 60 degrees. By comparison with this early, leisure­ly days of horse-drawn vehicles, Bor­den’s Ingersoll plant today bouts the 1st- ning to emerge, Borden’s Ingersoll plantwas something unique in Canada because it manufactured its own tins within themilk plant. Today the same plant, but with mod­ern machinery and methods, is still turn­ing out milk tins by the hundreds of thousands every day. Main changes inthe half-century since the plant was es­ tablished have been in modernizing ma­chinery and increasing output by usingup-to-date methods. The ancient name "St Charles” is stillalmost as familiar to residents of Inger­soll as the name of their town. An In­gersoll hotel, years ago, adopted and stillretains the name of “St. Charles.” Although "St Charles" evaporatedmilk was the pioneer Borden productmanufactured in Canada, the name of Borden had for many years earlier been Jfamiliar to Canadians.

M.Dewan, the president of the Wo­men's Auxiliary to the Alexandra .Hospital Trust, in a recent radiobroadcast. “Everyone is becomingenthusiastic about the new hospitalas they see the hospital grow. Wemeet on the last Monday of eachmonth in the home of one of themembers. This month's meetingwill be held Jan. 31 at Mrs. Carl Mohr's home, Thames St. North.“Our biggest work,” continued Mrs. Dewan, “is to furnish the hos­pital with all the blankets, linens,draperies, silverware, dishes and glassware that are needed, and tokeep the furniture repaired and theupholstering irf good condition.”Mrs. Dewan told her listening au­dience that the Auxiliary, to raisethe money it needs for this work,held two successful teas and “areally good rose tag day” last year.All three netted the organizationabout $2,500. “Of course,” she said, “we didn't spend all this. Foryears, the Auxiliary has been pro­ viding for the day when a new hos­pital would require our greatest ef­fort, and we have some bonds in re­ serve for this emergency.”Stating the Hospital Trust hasasked the Auxiliary lo undertake the furnishing of the new hospital,Mrs. Dewan said, “It is a big un­ dertaking and it makes us a bitnervous and breathless; but theHospital Trust has been so wonder­ful in making the hospital possiblethat it is with pleasure we help.”Committee* For Fund*Mrs. Dewan said a special com­mittee has been appointed on furn­ ishings and another one on public­ity, for the raising of the money re­quired. These committees havesent letters to all organizations inIngersoll and the district served by* the hospital, soliciting funds. “Mostof the organizations were not un­aware of this,” she said, “for A. R.Horton, the chairman of the hos­pital building committee, had putthis suggestion before the publicsome time Ago. As a result, many ofthem had already made provision tomeet our request. Already we havehad replies from nine organizations,pledging various amounts.” In this connection, Mrs. Dewan isaid the defunct Club Wyana closedits books last year by giving the Auxiliary $150, specially earmark­ed for this purpose. “And, she said,“when one of our very much loved and appreciated members passedon, she left a sizeable bequest Irefer to Mrs. E.

During her first visit in 1941,250,000 people saw her at theC.N.E., and voluntarily contributed $20,000 to the British War Victims’Fund. Under the auspices of theKinsmen’s Club’s “Milk for Britain Fund”, she paid a second visit toCanada in 1943. Her boudoir wasset up in department stores in To­ ronto, Montreal and Quebec. InMontreal, people lined up six feetdeep in the rain for four blocks to see Elsie. The store had to use aDits elevators, passenger and freightto transport the thousands to their sixth floor. Elsie’s boudoir was setup in the carpet department andthree aisles had been kept clearleading to her. The crowd flowedover the aisles and the carpets tosee Elsie. The 'most recenit visit of Elsieto Canada was in 1947 when nearlyhalf a million lined up to see her. Half of the voluntary donations wentto the Hospital for Sick Children,the other half to the ChristmasCheer for British Children Fund.During the 50th anniversary yearElsie will again go on tour in Can­ada.

Asked when the money will beneeded and how it will be handled,Mrs. ‘ Dewan replied: “The HospitalTrust has discussed that with usand it was decided best to have ithandled entirely by the Trust. So a special account is being opened. Allcheques will be made out to the Al­exandra Hospital Building Fundand earmarked 'furnishings.' Thisaccount will be handled by thetreasurer of the Trust, R. W. Green, at the Royal Bank. Thisprocedure was considered best fortwo reasons. The hospital board isable to buy tax-free equipment, soto qualify for tax exemption all bills would have to be paid by it.Secondly, - individuals and comp­anies requiring receipts for dona­ tions for income-tax purposeswould have to have them made outby the treasurer of the hospital.” The account, said Mrs. Dewan,will' probably receive its first dona­tion from the Norsworthy Chapter of the I.O.D.'E., which has authoriz­ed the immediate deposit of $1,000to that fund. Some other organiz­ ations have their money ready fordeposit, but most of them will de­posit it as It is raised this year, saidMrs. Dewan. “In any case, we hopeall organizations will do so at theirearliest convenience, for no plansfor purchases of furniture can bemade until sufficient funds are on hand for the entire hospital. “We are not at all worried aboutgetting in sufficient funds,” Mrs. Dewan told the radio listeners.‘^Everyone lias been so encouraging COMPLETES RECORD In the Oxford View Jersey Farms’ herd of G.

THANKS for Your Messages of Goodwill! Elsie, Elmer, Beulah and Beauregard send their best wishes to all their friends in Ingersoll and district. Elsie, Elmer and the children aren’t very old, of course. And we’re young, we believe, in spirit. But Borden’s in Canada are 50 years old. It was in 1899, half a century ago, that Borden’s came to Canada. W e’re still doing business at the same place on Ingersoll’s King street but we’ve stretched a bit during the past 50 years. * The business which began in Ingersoll is now Canada-wide, and the original handful of Ingersoll employees has grown to a country-wide family of over 3000. W e’re also old-timers in Tillsonburg and the fine farming district of which it is the centre. Borden’s built the big Tillsonburg plant in 1908-41 years ago. So our ties with Tillsonburg are nearly as old and as deeply rooted in mutual friendship as are our historic ties with Ingersoll. Next Tuesday, when we have our official birthday, we’re going to celebrate our 50th Anniversary in Canada on a Special Broadcast of our radio program, Borden’s “Canadian Cavalcade.” Two Ingersoll veterans will be guests of honor on the program. You’ll hear James G. Milne, superintendent of our Ingersoll plant, and Borden’s oldest employee. And one of our first Canadian producers, Byron Jenvey. will be interviewed, too. Even though you can’t be with us in Toronto on Feb. 1 st, you and 900,000 other Canadians from coast to coast who listen to Canadian Cavalcade each Tuesday can hear the show by tuning in at 8.30 p. m. oyer the trans-Canada network of the CBC. To all the friends who have sent us best wishes for another 50 years in Canada, thanks again, and we hope you’ll be listening.
