the Tribune they had that numberpretty well lined up already.Mrs. Lindsey said she was more
than pleased to help organize anddirect the school because she hudlong wanted to have her daughterget such training. Mrs. Lindsey whoholds a kindergarten primary certificate from the department of ed
ucation, said the first day went off
“very well.”“Some of the parents were a bitfearful," she laughed, “but thechildren reacted very well. Thepurpose of these classes, of course,is to gradually break the childrenaway from home; to "help themlearn to get along with otheryoungsters; to teach them independence and how to use their hands.
I think they’ll all like it."She said that in their classroomthey had a piano, radio and victrola,
and all are used. The children willsing songs, dance, play with blocks,do paper cut-outs and color. Andthey will listen to children’s programs on the air, such as Miss Goul-ding's each morning.According to C. Hamilton Gossoof the “Y”, it is expected that withimprovements in the facilities and

On School Plans
Three members of Ingersoll'spublic school board and C. H. Gillin, London, architect, journeyed toToronto yesterday to confer withMr. C. B. Routley, assistant super
intendent of elementary education,the Ontario department of educa
tion, in connection with the addition of four rooms and a kindergarten to Princess Elizabeth school.The trustees were C. A. Ackert,chairman; C. A. Pellow and WalterLeaper. Having received towncouncil's okay to go ahead with theproject, the trustees took with themproposed plans for either a one-storey or two-storey addition.At the regular meeting of the
board Tuesday (night, prior togoing to Toronto, L. B. Hyde, inspector of public schools, told the
trustees: “There has been a lot ofdiscussion about getting an auditorium, too. For a five-room school,I think you could get permissionfor a playroom, to be used as an
auditorium, but you must be pre
pared to spend an extra $25,000."“I think our chances of getting
an auditorium are pretty slim,"commented Mr. Ackert. “I don’twant to be considered stingy, butknowing the .town's economic position I don’t feel we should put anymoney into anything not absolutelyneeessary. If we have any extramoney, let’s put it into extra classrooms.”
“We haven't enough money tobuild an auditorium which wouldbe worthwhile,” asserted Mr.
Leaper.

“When they got Janet out shewasn’t even marked, but she wassure scared to death. Both girlswere. The driver was sure he hadjust killed two little girls. Andthose girls will never come closer
to death and not get it,” he added.
Mr. McDermott, Mary’s father,and Councillor Morrison's brother-

“They were two very lucky
girls", he said. “But it hasn’t scaredthem off tobogganing completely.They’re back at it again today,

Hearty Congratulation* Are Due
To William Stone Son*, Limited
The Tribune, on behalf of the citizens of the
town and the surrounding district as well as it
self, joins in the extending of congratulations to
William Stone Sons, Limited, on the beginning of
its 80th year, and also upon its completion of the
most modern fertilizer plant in Canada. This old-
established firm, founded only three years after
Confederation, is deserving of tributes on this oc
casion for the contribution it has made to the in
dustrial life of a young nation.
It was in 1870 that Tyilliam Stone, the founder,
established a hide and wool business iq. Wood-
stock. Ten years later a son, Arthur W. Stone,
became associated with his father. In 1907, to
' thia growing business there came another son of
(the founder, J. Fred Stone, who joined the com-
-pany as manager of a new branch in Ingersoll.
The year 1911 saw the building of a fertilizer
and rendering plant in Ingersoll, and the business
then became known as William Stone Sons, Lim
ited, with R. A. Stone, present general manager,
as the manager of operations. In 1917, the grow
ing business required an addition to the Inger
soll plant.
The company established its head office in In
gersoll in 1926, and the present office building
was erected and further additions were made to
•'the plant. F. Heath Stone, now president, be
came associated with the company in 1927.
This company, founded -by a hardy pioneer of
Canada, found it necessary to enlarge the ferti
lizer plant in 1937 to meet the increasing de
mand for products and service.
Last year, the new plant enlargement plan was
instituted, the completion of which makes the
plant the most modem and fully-equipped in Ca
nada. And in 1949, as the firm begins its 60th
year, it is envisioning plans for still further ex
tension.
There is a similarity between the progress of
this firm and that of our Dominion. From hum
ble beginnings, they started almost together and
today they are leaders, the one among the nations
of the world and the other among industries. It
speaks well for the (pioneers of Canada, men like
William Stone, who laid well the principles of
democracy into the founding of Canada and in
everyday practice. It is a reflection of credit
upon the people of succeeding generations who
have maintained the rights of democracy.
The business of William Stone Sons, Limited,
has flourished because it' has given service
throughout its 80 years. Its "National” fertilizers
and feeds are recognized by their name as being
quality products.
This' firm has established its enviable reputa
tion of today by giving service as well as selling
its products. In its research laboratories, it has
learned the fertilizers which are best suited for
different soils and various kinds of crops, and it
has proceeded to manufacture these and make
them available to the farmers. Its livestock feeds
have also been developed and improved through
research. * .
Fertilizing is something which all of us.ought
to be interested in. By producing and distribut
ing good fertilizers, the firm of William Stone
Sons, Limited, is helping to promote better
health and greater prosperity for every citizen.
Too many of us are “miners" of the soil—we
keep on taking growth out of it without'putting
back into it the elements required for nutritious
growth. The effects of "mined” soil are reflect
ed in the quality of milk and everything we need
for our sustenance.
The firm of William Stone Sons, Limited, has
done much to counteract the "mining” of the soil
in Western Ontario. A* well as producing good
fertilizers, it has, through its large staff, helped
the farmers to choose the type of fertilizer best
suited for their farms.
As a local industry, William Stone Sons, Lim
ited. is a valuable one in Ingersoll. It is a large
employer and it has many commercial dealings
with the business places of the town and district.
This firm has long looked towards the welfare of
its emloyees, and it has for them a retirement
pension plan, also group life insurance and sick
ness and accident benefits. Wives and children
of the employees are also insured for benefits'
covering physicians’ attendance, hospital and
surgical operations.
Just as four generations of the Stone family
have an association with the firm (David W.
Stone, son of F. Heath Stone, joined the firm in
1947 to represent the fourth generation), so also
are there succeeding generations of employees
with it. The happy employce-managment rela
tionship of this firm is particularly noticeable in
the home-owning and community builders who
form its employment roll. .
There is * part of this firm, aside from its in
dustrial value to the community, for which The
Tribune would like to express thanks on behalf of
the citizens. And that is the community activities
sponsored or supported by the firm.# These ac
tivities are known to few only, as modesty on the
part of the company prevents the giving of due
credit at the times it renders community service.
To the company, now in its 80th year, we ex
tend congratulations on the success that it has at
tained. The best wishes of all go out to the com-
We’d like to tell you about a "smart” piece of
advertising that back-fired. While a certain
movie was running in London, hundreds of Lon
doners got postcards from "Jim”, “Russ”
"George”, and numerous other pally unknowns
in New York, saying he or she had just seen this
movie in -New York, and the tunes were-good, or
the coloring marvellous or the acting superb,
and the movie just shouldn’t be missed. Unfort
unately, these "pals” in New York put only a one-
cent stamp on-the card, and hundreds of Lon
doners were hooked for two cents’ postage due.
Needless to say, they did not see the picture.
Readers will (recall that we’ve been having
trouble with a mouse in our house. We still are,
but a friend of ours, George Messecar, of The
Burford Advance, suggests we just show the
mouse a photograph of the Burford Skating Rink
"which is enough to discourage even a mouse and
cause him to drop dead.” We’ve told George that
if we could get close enough to our friend to show
him pretty pictures, he’d have been in the land of
his forefathers long ago.
We are most grateful to the person who anon
ymously deposited at The Tribune office a copy
of The Ingersoll Weekly Sun, dated fhjov. 16, 1887.
We are most interested in all papers, books, doc
uments and other matter relating to the early
days of Ingersoll and area, and hope to compile
a collection for preservation. To the anonymous
donor of this particularly interesting1 item, many
thanks.
What Others Say:
Canada Need* Brains,
So Why Keep Them Out?
How uneducated does a prospective immigrant
have to be to qualify for entry into Canada?By the last count available at Ottawa, DPcamps in Europe contain 1,600 doctors, 700 dentists, 700 chemists, 2,700 engineers, 1,000 foresters. Canada could use men from all those professions. So far, except for a tiny handful ofspecial cases, we have Barred them.We’ve brought in 30,000 wood choppers, farm
hands, domestics and charwomen. Some of themsuccessfully concealed the fact that they were also intelligent, well-educated people—their strong
backs were an effective disguise dor-their goodbrains. But for brains, as such, Canada has showna marked repugnance.Why?
Partly because of a lack of direct contact be
tween employer and prospective employee. Anindustrialist will hire 60 or 100 pick-and-shovelmen sight unseen. Before he hires an engineer
for an executive job, he wants to talk to the numhimself.
If professional associations like the Engineering Institute were to send interviewers to Europe, they could winnow out a group of highly
qualified men whose chances of employment inCanada would be good. Then the governmentcould afford to risk letting them in without stipulating the “assured employment” normally required for an immigrant without money.But there’s a bigger obstacle to the immigration of highly skilled men. There is more thanindifference, there is, in some cases, active hostil
ity, based on a fear of competition.According to the officially accepted estimate,. Canada needs about 2,000 more doctors to provide adequate service by present methods. If we\ had health insurance on a national scale we’d
need many more. In fact, one of the arguments
against health insurance is that we’ce nowherenear, enough doctors to carry it out.Yet the Canadian Medical Association and thevarious provincial associations refuse to license DP doctors to practice in Canada. Immigration of
ficials have suggested various restrictions, such as
.a contract to keep each immigrant doctor for aterm of years in some area that now lacks medical service of any kind. So far, none of theseplans has proved acceptable to the medical pro-
kfession.Dfc' Hugh Keenleyside, the deputy minister incharge of immigration, said last spring, “The onlv
trade union that has been adamant in its official
apposition to the admission of competitive DP’shas been the medical profession.”£ This isn’t good enough.- - Canada needs more people—hundreds of thousands .more, millions over a period of years. We
want those new citbens to be the best people we
can get, the most intelligent, the most enterprising,, the most likely to bring new skills and ideasfor developing our country.We can’t afford to keep skilled people outmerely because they might compete with peoplealready here1—in fact, it’s to the national interestthat they should compete, the more effectively thebetter.The present is the greatest opportunity in 100years—since the revolutions of 1848—to enrichour nation with fine new blood. We're lettingthat opportunity slip.—Maclean’s Magazine.
Watch The Butter Lobby
Thanks to the Sureme Court, it looks as if wemight have something to spread on our bread this.winter that’s cheaper than gold leaf. Margarineis now legal, apparently always should have been.But now the interests that prevented the man
ufacture of this good, cheap food are trying tomake it as unpalatable and unattractive as pos
sible. They’d like to slap heavy taxes on the ma
terials out of which it ia made. They’d like toforbid the coloring of it—this in spite of the factthat butter is artificially colored at some seasonsof the year. Some provincial governments appearto be heeding these appeals with a good deal ofsympathy.If Canadian consumers allow the dairy lobby toget away with this, they deserve the consequences. Here’s a perfectly wholesome food that couldbe. and should be, freely available to supplement
at lower coat a butter supply that’s inadequateeven at today's high prices. There's no sensiblereason for preventing its manufacture and sale in
the form consumers want

"The town of Ingersoll is admirably located in the Thames valley,the river of the same name flowing

by no means inconsiderable quotaof the motive (power used in itsvaried manufactories. . .the acres,
if the term be permitted, of plate81uh3 business fronts, the litterlea*
ines and thoroughfares, the elegant private residences, these serveto explain why Ingersoll is so nice
a place to live in.”
These are some sentences fromthe Toronto Daily Mail of May 28,1892, when a special supplement offour pages on the town of Ingersoll
was published. copy of this hasjust been given to the library andprovides a valuable addition to thelocal history records the library iscollecting. What makes it particularly valuable for reference are the
more than 40 photographs of thetown, chief buildings and promi
nent citizens of the time.
In 1892, the town, with a population of about 5,000, had just
completed a "magnificent waterworks system” at a cost of over$100,000. In the words of the paper, "the stand pipe is unique in itsdesign, and towering as it does to
a height of 110 feet. Its outline issuggestive less of the purpose intended than of a monument to somedeparted warrior or statesman. Thesystem involves the use of over
seven miles of mains and is in allrespects proving everything thateven the most crotchety citizen can
wish for.”
There are descriptions of thechurches, schools, the “mammoth
industrial establishments,” the interesting personalities, the 10 hotels, the Amateur Athletic Associa
tion, the third establishment of itskind in Canada.
The Horary has also received inthe last week a beautiful volumepresented by the Standards Com
mittee for Cutting Tools to honorthe memory of Mrs. E. A. Wilson.This is a book, recently published,
of the Major Plays and the Sonnets of Shakespeare, edited by G.B. Harrison, outstanding Elizabethan scholar. It is beautifully pro

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 3, 1949 Page 3Indians, Pioneers, Militia Came
Here Over Historic King Street Sees Canada Losing
Sovereignty in Pact
By HARRY T. BOWER
King Street, passing from East
to West through our Town of Ingersoll and through the County ofOxford, is the oldest highway west
of Ancaster. When the road wasfirst recognised as a definite trailis not known to any of us. Of thethousands of incidents that happened along its course throughoutthe years, only a few are known,but to the people of Ingersoll andvicinity some of these incidents
are of much interestLong before settlement was
made along this trail west of Burford, the fur traders used it intheir intercourse with the Indians!
Generations of moccasined feetsometimes on peaceful pussions
and sometimes with hostile intention, had travelled this highway between the flint deposits of UpperCanada and the Mohawk Valleyand left behind their imprintIn 1793, Thomas Ingersoll andliis partners, Gideon Boswick, SethHamlen and Able Kelson, travelled
over this trail, guided by Brant’sIndians, to locate the 66,000 acresgranted them for settlement, thelandmark locating the area beingwhere the trail touched the riverin about the vicinity of the ThamesSt bridge. Mr. Ingersoll and hisparty found the road so difficult

that they spent about two years incutting a 10-foot road from Bur
ford to Oxford, bridging some ofthe stream with logs and thus making the first improvement in this
part of the road to allow settlersto come in with less difficulty.
First Religious Society Here
As the years went on and morepeople begun to make their new
homes in the valley, the settlersthemselves added many improvements to the roadway by buildingmore bridges and laying logs crosswise in the boggy places. The government, recognizing that . thishighway Was the only means ofland communication between Niagara and Detroit, came to the aidof the pioneers to some extent and
made the roadway passable for themilitia. Talbot Road, which parallels our road, was not completed
until 1816.
Settlement in Oxford was slowat first, but men were hungry forfreedom and for the possession ofthe good soil in their own right, soby 1812 the assessment of thewhole area included 64 families,
many of them having the samefamiliar names as citizens of ourgeneration, as Sage, Scott, Carroll,Dodge, Taylor, Matthews, Clark,Lowes, Graham, Jones, Sprague,Martin, Harris, Canfield, Nichols,
Piper, Burdick, and others.In 1801, Rev. Nathan Bangs
journeyed over the ancient highwayto carry his message of good will tothe outlying settlements. Ho rode
horseback and carried his scantyluggage in the saddlebags. Onarriving at Oxford on Thames,
August 1st, he made known hismission and soon every blazed trailwas busy as well as every canoe,
and Rev. Mr. Bangs soon discovered that he had founded the firstreligious society in Oxford on
Thames and that his congregationconsisted of the entire settlement,plus all the Indians camping near.
King Hiram Lodge Born
The year 1803, and the monthof June, finds more visitors using
our highway, having a differentmission to perform. This partywas composed of the ProvincialMasonic Grand (Lodge representatives on their way to institute a
(Masonic Lodge at Oxford onThames, fulfilling the request.contained in the petition of James
Burdick, Enoch Burdick, Sam Can-field. Robert Sweet, Arial Towsley,Hamilton Lawrence, Asahel Lewis,
Joel Piper, William Sumner, S.Merrick, C. Stafford, and SikesTowsley. The Grand Lodge delega
tion was headed by Thomas Horner,.-.nd thus was born King HiramLodge, two years after the firstreligious service and 10 years afterthe first settlement, and this old
lodge still carries on in our town,endeavoring to teach the sametruths and ideals as its founders
did 145 years ago. The names inthis paragraph were copied fromthe old minute book and minutes
of the first meeting, June 24, 1803.Lord Selkirk paid Mr. Ingersolla visit in the year 1804. He and
his party travelled over the roadfrom Burford to Oxford by horseand after his visit here continuedon his journey down the Thamesby canoe, as the trail west of Oxford was still bad. His book describes the river as one great seriesof "S" or “U” bends caused by
thousands of beavers damming thestream and diverting the current.The stream, then abounding in
fish, did not allow such a largevolume of water to escape inspring but maintained a much
larger amount of water all summer.
Our Village Destroyed
Settlers began taking up land inlarger numbers until the year 1812,when tremendous activity became
apparent on the old highway. Wewere at war! Westward went thesoldiers of Canada, to - be joined
here with the Black Devils, as theOxford Rifles were galled, and theswarms of Indians. The’ Oxford
Militia were led by Thomas Horner and Arial Towsley, and theytook part in the‘Capture of De
troit. But the tide turned and back
over the highway .(came the Yankeemarauders, living \off the country
to burn and “to pillage. , They des
troyed our tail! and most- of ourvillage and took Major-, Towsley
prisoner.’
After the w’ar was over and ourown Laura Secord had proved herself a heroine, settlement beganto speed up in Oxford. Oxford village became known as Ingersoll.The old road was widened, straight
ened, ‘ Improved -by" corduroy andpassable bridges. TJhe stage coachbegan to make" its appewrance and
the pubs, or hotels, sprang intobeing wherever there were travellers to be served. The old roadseemed to have settled down to a
quiet time until .the year 1836.

Had To Leave Country
In the year 1831, the Provincial
Masonic Grand Lodge ceased tofunction. This left the now numerous Masonic lodges without a
central organization to guide themand in the year 1836 the Masonsof Burford and Westminster trav
elled to Ingersoll to confer withthe Masons here as to the possibility of forming a grand lodge in
Canada West. The idea proved tobe popular, and after, several meetings the representatives of these
three lodges, together with otherswho came in later, -met in Londonand elected’ a slate of grand lodge
officers, headed by Dr. Duncomb asgrand master. These grand lodgeofficers were to be installed in
Col. L. II. Carr-Hairis, retired,who spent 30 years in the Imperial
Army, will address the KiwanisClub at their regular meeting tonight. Col. Carr-Harrik, who livesin West Zorra, will speak on"Thoughts of an Old Soldier.”Last week’s sneaker, introducedby L. B. Hyde, district lieutenant-
governor, was Dr. S. F. Maine, director of the .summer school andextension department of the University of Western Ontario. Hespoke on “The North Atlantic Security Pact.”Canada, he said, was now an important nation .in the world and hadto take her full responsibility in theconduct of world affairs.“The nations of the world,” hesaid, “could have stopped the actions of the Japs, of the Italians inEthiopia, and of Germany in European lands, but we all ducked ourresponsibility. They weren’t sins of
commission, but sins of omission,and had we stood up to our respons
ibilities, there’d have been no war.”But now, he said, with the newNorth Atlantic Pact, though at
present “only a gleam in someone’seye—only a hope,” Canada wastaking her part in world affairs.“I believe we are going to seeCanada and the U.S. tie in with the
five great European powers in thispact,” he said, “and it will havetremendous effect once we hurdleconstitutional and other difficulties.But we have got to face the fact if
we are going to accept the responsibility of nationhood, we’ve got tomake some sacrifices.“We are living in very significant times. We’ll have to do without some of the things we want,and we may even have to give up acertain amount of our sovereignty
to make successful this tremendousundertaking. We may see something even far broader than a Unit
ed States of Europe.”The speaker was , thanked by

Toll Gate* Have Disappeared
This rather disjointed story has
had to do with a highway duringthe years of its greatest usefulness. In another dozen years, the
early 50*s, the Great WesternRailway was.built through Ingersolland so our ancient highway losea
much of its importance. Otherroads and highways have in someplaces duplicated, it, but if this oldroad could tell us its complete history we would hear some very interesting stories of the early days.Today the Thames Valley Hoadis usually called the HamiltonRoad. It has a gravel surface and islined with some of the finest
farms in Oxford. It$ farms are runby up-to-date farmers, many of
whom proudly bear the same family
names as the mighty pioneers of1800. The toll gates have disappeared and the numerous hotels
converted into homes or other farmbuildings and the old road is verymuch like many other rural roads
in Oxford.
The Thame* Valley Road
The late James Sinclair had a truepicture of the story of the ancient
highway when he wrote:Long gone with the past are thepioneer daysWhen the riverside was only ablaze,While the ox team went lolling
along the way,But the ox team and red andbirch bark abodeAre passed like a dream from the
Thames Valiev Road.
Then came the stage coach withrumble and din.
Full bulging with passengers
outside and in.All fresh from the Motherland
over the sea
In search of new homes in the
Land of the Free.They chopped and they cleared,
they plowed and they sowed
And passed in their turn fromthe Thames Valley Road.
The railway came next and thus
ended the ageOf the pioneer inn, the toll gate

The decoration committee forthe “At Home”, (which is, by theway. on Feb. 11), has decided to
have tLe aimouries decorated inValentine style instead of the blueand white which has predominated
at the other "At Homes” the Collegiate has had. A change is as goodas a rest, so it looks like I takeanother rest.
The fourth debate of the LC.LDebate Club was held Wednesday
afternoon. James Shearon made acapable chairman. The subject was"Resolved that the fanner of to
day is happier than the farmer offifty years ago.” Joyce Lange andJoy Burnett supported the affirmative and s Tom Douglas and JimGrimes upheld the negative. Thedebate was judged by Jim Waring.
Morley Hammond and Dick Flen-niken.
The affirmative said the farmer
of today has machinery that takesthe drudgery out of fanning, whilepermitting greater results to be accomplished. The women have lesscooking because there are fewer
hired men about the farm and themen have more time to spend incompanionship of their children.
Were Happier Then
The negative defined happinessas a sttate of well being and con
tentment, free from apprehension.The farmer of 50 years ago wascontent with his lumber wagon and
therefore was happier. The womenof that day drovfe the oxen andwere as happy as the women who
drive cars today. The soil then wasricher and there was no incometax.
The judges whose decision wasgiven by Jim Waring, thought thenegative had the better of the ar
gument. Joyce Lange congratulated the winners on their success.
Don Carter expressed the thanks

problem is not communism, butdespotism.it is hard to believe that the ruleof the despot will be long in anycountry. Russia is becomirg an in
dustrial nation and as Toynbee haspointed out it is reasonable to anticipate that if a man is to work ina factory producing automobilesand other luxuries he will eventually behave as an American or aCanadian mechanic behaves, h> willwant a higher standard of living and
that standard of living cannot beattained under the constant thr-.atof war—nor under despotism.
It’s easy to find out what’s in themind of a sparrow. You can’t do the
same when you look down at theHouse of Commons. This sparrow
worries about the scarcity of food.Women worry about the high costof living. The statemsnian worries,
without cause, he wonders wherehe will be next year and when thetime may be right to strike boldly,for a new term of office. The voters feel that it doesn’t matter. 1
What's coming, or going in1949? Bobm or bust—good crops
or bad, an early Spring or a lateone? Will there be more hydroblackouts? Are we likely to have awar, or a change of government?Will production rise or fall and—this is the rub—will we have moreinflation or is deflation on the way?How does the picture today com
pare with October 23, 1929, the dayof the big stock market crash? It’sa different story. 1929 was thehighest point in the boom. Totalindustrial production then was53,883,446,000. In 1947 it wasestimated at $9,976,497,000. Salaries and wages in 1929 totalled$777,291,000—-in 1947, $2,069,-623,000. 1929 was the end of a'period of 'boom. The present situiytion reflects a sounder development.Industry is in a much strongerposition. It is more capable ofbearing temporary shocks than itwas back there in 1929 in the boomdays, with a chicken in every pot
and another on the back steps waiting to get in.This is true of industry, also of
agriculture. The demand for foodis a great deal keener today thanit w’as then. World production has
not yet kept pace with demand.The world is hungry today, morehungry' than it has been for manya year. There may be, of course,temporary declines from peak
levels but it is difficult to see at
the present a price decline in farmproducts such as confronted us inthe 1930-35 period.In the crop year 1920-21 whatwas worth $2.38 a bushel, in 1932-
33 it sold at approximately ole. Inthe crop year 1929-30 it was worth$1.54. These figures are ratherstartling, Prices of agriculturalproducts are far less stable thanthe wages of labor or the price ofindustrial products. Conditions today are sharply different, the pricepattern of future years will alsobe different.The spending program of the
United States will be a stabilizingfactor in the next few years. Ithas already helped to prevent the
collapse of Europe. Not only i/there an out-pouring of aid to Europe but expenditures for American

Hello Homemakers! Resolutions
made? It is not too late. Do not
make them too difficult or you'll
break them too easily, and so, sub
tly, lose confidence in your will
power and integrity. Let your re
solutions have some bearing on
your everyday life.
Since many homemakers agree
that they would keep resolutions
if they only had the TIME, you will
probably agree that interruption,
not procrastination, is the thief of
time. Interruptions are upsetting
for numerous reasons. Maybe if
you understand why, you will be
calmer.
1. Unpreparedneu. You begin
every household task with a
mistaken idea (although it may
be subconscious), that you will
be permitted to complete it in
uninterrupted bliss. Conse
quently you are unprepared for
timeout.
2. Frustration. Your thoughts
which direct your actions, move
in a stream of consciousness.
It’s like water flowing downhill-
onefe the stream ie started, it
doesn’t want to stop. Conse-
sequenUy you feel frustrated if
stopped suddenly.

SEE TSETSE FLY CURE
BOOSTING MEAT OUTPUT
Discovery of a cure for sleepingsickness in cattle, states Thg Financial Post, may open a huge newworld area for meat production.Says The Post: “It was this disease, spread by the dreaded tsetse
fly, which made cattie-raising impossible in large areas of Africaand other warm regions of the
world. A real cure would open literally billions of new acres to
ranching in territory where feedand water are both abundant.Large sections of Africa could soonrival the Argentine and a new andgreater source of world meat supply could be developed.“It is discoveries like this whichkeep food production expanding asfast or faster than mankind andwhich incidentally confound thepessimists who see world starvation
just around the comer.”

Squirrels Said Real Clowns
In the World of Animals
By Eveline A. Long then a desire to shock the hearer
into stunned silence.
Oh, suirrels are pretty and funny and dainty enough. They’re a
delight to watch. But if I thought I
could aim straight enough, and
that if by chance I did it wouldn’thurt them loo much, I'd be tempt
ed to borrow the nearest smallboys’ slingshot, and try my hand
at putting a temporary stop to
their lively dopradations. They arewantons, and like wantons every
where sadly lacking in a sense of
fair play. They’ll take what theywant as they can get it, and the
devil can take the hindmost.
I adore suirrels. I love to watch
their funny antics. But at times I
become aggravated at their aggres
sive greediness. Why must they
consider that all the food set out
by lovers of the winged wild things
is primarily for their benefit; that
they, and they alone, are the lords
of creation?
Nature has been kind to them.
She has (provided them with the
acquisitive nature that causes them
to secure a horde of nuts against
the coming season of scarcity, tomake a profusion of caches of
food in every neighbouring garedn,
and then, the further to securetheir well-being in winter, has
given them the power to sleep away
the cold months snuggly curled inholes of their own choosing? But
do they' appreciate nature^ kind Eastern Star in Ontario, Mrs. Flor-thoughtfluness?
They prefer to roister the winter
through, to steal the provenderprovided for the less well endowed
creatures, and generally to play
the clown. They scorn the work ofdigging up the nuts they so pains
takingly buried in days of ■plenty.
No, they’ll leave them to spring uplater as seedlings among the tu
lips and daffodils. And what be
comes of all the cars of gardencorn stolen from someone’s private
patch? You’ll see them gleefullyrunning along the fences and acrossthe gardens, carrying the stripped
ears, stopping _„2'again daintily to sample a kernel,
then scurrying in to hide them in
their own particular cupboard.Surely they haven’t so soon demol
ished all those many ears they
carted off with such aplomb. Dothey really prefer the grain put
out daily in the birds’ seedbox, ordo they do it' on the principle thestolen sweets are sweeter? Or may
be it is just their.idea, of a joke on
the birds, for not only do they takethe grain, but actually usurp the
box itself, sitting in it and on it,sheltered. from the elements, while
the poor disgruntled birds hungrily
wntch from the adjacent trees,chirping their discontent.
A family of four grey squirrels
has provided us with much delight.They are the real clowns of the
animal world. They play riotousgames with one another, and de
light in fooling the dog or cat that
thinks itself smart enough to outwit them. They allow the creature
to get within a few feet of them,
then scurry up the nearest tree,peeping down and chattering their
derision of it. If it 13 a dog that’s 1rhe butt of their joke, he stands
and foolishly barks, daring the cun
ning one to come down, but a cat •thus fooled turns and walks
majestically off, pretending she wag .
never really interested in the skit- 'ti*h creatpre. If a squirrel ever (
thought of it I'm quite certain he’d 1raise his dainty forepaw to his
nose, in that most ancient gesture 1
of derision. He all but does it now, <

"We are now having one of thebest season* in these islands. It isdelightfully cool, unless you go out

It was as low as 56 degrees onenight, most unusual for here.
"They blamed us—said it must
be coming down from the north tomake u* feel at home.
“We often walk on the highway
over to Searle's factory, about halfa mile, as the ‘crop’ is on, whichmeans the factory is working day
and night, and will be for about 15weeks. That is the highlight of theyear down here. Searle's takes in,
not only our cane, which goes inabout 128 tons a day, but manymore. The estates around send intheir cane. We have three big

Women carry it into the fields inbaskets on their heads and put thestalks in a slanting position so far
apart, like we plant corn, and thenthey have dried gross find coverthe entire field. When the sproutscome through and high enoughthey rake all the trash aside untilit has grown about three or fourfeet. They then take all trash offand hoe and hill up the rows of
cane.“It looks like corn at first. It Is
left to mature, and if we have rainenough it will grow to 14 feet
high in about 10 months. Theyleave it to grow bigger arounduntil 14 months, then harvest it in
January or February.""When cutting, they usually put
so many colored folk to a lorry andhav a man cut the canes and hiswife trims off -the dried leavesfrom the cane stalk. They call itthe trash, and it is used to covernew canes, also to feed the cattle.
Giant Sat of Tea th
“At the factory, they have apaved pool and yard, and the canesare dumped all around. A hugecrane, which works day and night,
has a huge arm with a toothlikeclaw that looks like a giant set ofteeth. It takes the cane over anddrops it into a running trough thatgoes up into the factory and feeds
it into a big machine that has threesets of rollers. The juice is pressedout and pours out into'a big tank,
where a certain amount of limewater is deposited. A certainamount runs in, in a certain time.
The lime helps purify the juice.“Then it is run into a juiceheater, where it is made into crack
liquor, then into a large machinewhere the crack liquor is purged ofall impurities, then into a pre-evap-
oratoY, and then through four evaporators where the crack liquor isboiled to syrup.
“In the fifth operation, the syrupis boiled to crystals, mixed withmolasses, then four large rollerswhere the molasses and sugar arecooled for three days. It is called
the crystalizer.“The last operation is in thecentrifugals, a large machine with
six separate units where the crystals are separated from the
lasses into dry sugar.
Like Caramel Candy
“The sugar and molasses „
gether taste like caramel candy.“What is left after the juice ispressed out contains about seven
per cent juice, but is shot outby long tubes into the yard andthey use it for fuel to run the
factory. It sounds simple, but whenyou see all this machinery workingit looks very complicated.
“When we came in the last ofOctober it was very hot. That
and November are their hottestmonths, but we went to the seasidefor November. It was not so hot
back here in December. We had atree (branch of a cherry tree) anddecorated it and had turkey and
plum pudding for Christmas. Theweather was like our nicest summer days.“We are coming home, leavinghere July 4, as July, August and
September are hurricane months
and very warm.”

Canada’* Great Need
"Women Yesterday, Today andTomorrow", was the subject of thethought-provoking, stimulating ad
dress highlighted by the speaker’scharm, humour and sincerity. Putting her “yesterdays” back only tothe war years, Mrs. Walton recalled the splendid co-operation of all
Canadian women in those dayswhen each felt a part of a greatteam working toward the ono goal,victory. Various causes—fear, patriotism duty, immediate need, lead
to such concerted effort under warconditions, but "what of today?”
the speaker asked. “Today, morethan ever, Canada has need of women who are intelligent, informed,
steady, dependable, solid citizens,”
Mrs. Walton stated.Stating the basis of good citi
zenship was set in the home, Mrs.Walton traced the spread of good
influence from the home to theneighborhood, to the communityand to the country as a whole. She
stressed the necessity for each woman to realize the importance ofher personal part in the community
jhat is Canada. "A strong minoritycould soon be in control if theapathy in civic affairs continues,"
she said as she described our communities as the cradle of demo
cratic rights and good citizenship.“Make your voice heard, know thepeople you elect and support them,”
she added. The communists andsupporters of other strange “isms”are constantly at work and this is
u lesson which must be learned by
those who would combat their influence. Their policies of “divide,
disturb and distrust”, are the nega
tive things of life which must beanswered by a strong affirmation
of our democratic rights and priv
ileges.
“What you do, do well"
Neighborliness, not charity,
should be shown to the newcomersto Canada, the new Canadians whocan become the finest of citizens,but who also offer fertile ground
for communism, Mrs. Walton urged.To show them our way of living, tobe an example of good citizenship
is an undertaking which will bringrewards to all concerned.Speaking briefly of I.O.D.E. aims
and objective^, Mrs. Walton re
ferred to the Second War Memor
ial, a living memorial to those whogave their lives in that conflictShe urged continued support of
this and other National projects
such as overseas food parcels and
the endowment fund. She pointed
out the weakness in a suggestion
that the letters I.O.D.E. stand for
a motto, “I ought to do every
thing", and suggested rather that
each chapter pick out that for
which they are suited. "What youdo, do well,” and do continue to
support your community,” she con
cluded.Mrs. H. A. Wilson thanked Mrs.
Walton for an address which gaveeach listener .something to thinkabout and something to do. A gift
of roses was presented to Mrs.Walton by Mrs. C. K. Long in admiration and in memory of a happyevening.
The success of the meeting wasevidenced by the setting up of acommittee of representatives of
