People vflio should know have informed The Tribune that Odeon Theatres, to whom the new movie house was leased, may be sub-leas­ ing it to the same group which pre­ sently operates the Maitland. With opening of the new Theatre, which reportedly will be .called the Strand, the Maitland will be shut down, still leaving Ingersoll with only one theatre. Raymond Allen of Premier Oper­ ating Corp., which reportedly will be operating the new movie, told The Tribune from Toronto: “I am not saying what you mention will not happen, but it has not happened yet. There are negotiations under way. Your story is premature.'* Ralph Axelrod of Woodstock, in charge of Axelrod Building Divis­ ion, told The Ingersoll Tribune Wednesday afternoon that Inger­ soll’s new theatre will be completely finished Friday. The building is owned by S. O. Axelrod of Wood- stock, father of Ralph. The owner leased the building to Odeon Theatres, and subsequently, The Tribune learned, permission was given by Mr. Axeltod to Odeon Theatres to sub-lease it It is understood that the theatre, the opening of which is expected to take place next week, will be operated by the Premier Operating Corporation, and that it will be called the Strand Theatre. The Premier Operating Corpora­ tion is stated to be an associate of Theatre Holding Corporation, which operates the Maitland Theatre in Ingersoll. L K. Coles Is M.C. As Plowing Match Comes to Oxford Toronto—Cymbals clanged, the drums boomed and the pipes skirled as some 50 Oxford County repre­ sentatives made a successful bid to lure the 1951 international plow­ ing match to Oxford County. Putting on one of the “best shows" ever presented at the an­ nual Ontario Plowmen’s Association conventions, county officials, mem­ bers of the Oxford County Plow­ men's Association and municipal officials secured official approval for the match in 1951, The representatives, wearing tar­ tan ties, marched in before the con­ vention behind the stirring music of Pipe-Major Alex. Collins, Ingersoll, William Pearson, West Zorra, and Drummer Robert Collins, of Inger­ soll. With County Clerk L. K. Coles, Ingersoll, as master of ceremonies, the Oxford delegation won the ap­ plause of plowmen from all parts of Ontario. To top the Oxford per­ formance, Oxford County cheese was served at the banquet follow­ ing the morning business. Speakers who urged that the in­ ternational match be held in Ox­ ford in 1951 included: Warden George Fewster, North Norwich; Mayor Wilson Milburn, Woodstock; P, M. Dewan, Ingersoll, former minister of agriculture; T. R. Dent, M.L.A., Oxford County; K. R. Dan­ iel, Ingersoll, M.P. for Oxford County; Harry Little, Dereham, chairman of the county agricultural committee; Murray McBeth, presi­ dent of the Oxford County Plow­ men’s Association. Determined to bring • the big match back to Oxford in 1951, the county, the municipalities and the Oxford association pledge their full support. The match was last held in Oxford in 1921 when Rob­ ert Fewster, the father of the pres­ ent warden, was then warden. Not in Florida, But Healthy and flourishing as though itwere in Florida, a six-foot lemon tree attracts the attention of all visitors to the Ingersoll Cheese Co. Ltd. plant. It' goes outdoors in summer, but comes in­ Right in Ingersoll side during the winter, and at all timesgets treated like a blue-blood. In this pic­ ture, Miss Mary Dunn, office employee, points to an example of the real livelemons the tree produces annually. —Tribune photo by Jimmy Smith. Tiny Seedling Came by Mail Now Grows Real, Live Lemons Walking into the main office of the Ingersoll Cheese Co., is almost like going to Florida, for there, flourishing as though it were in Florida, is a lemon tree—complete with real, live lemons. There is quite a history to this healthy little tree, which gets the care and treatment of a debutante, and which still stands in the tub in which it was placed as a tiny shrub­ bling many years ago. Some 40 to 45 years ago the late John Mitchell received by. parcel post a small parcel wrapped in canvas and paper. Mr. Mitchell’s brother-in-law who -worked at the Stone and Wellington. Nursery at Font Hill, had mailed to him thissmall lemon tree. - \ This tree, after many transplan­ tings, was finally put into- the pre­ sent-day tub. At one time it was the duty of the' Mitchell . children to wash the dust from -the leaves every Saturday morning, and at Christmas time they would decorate it as theijr. tree.. The tree flourished and has had as many as 20 lemons on it at one time. It was a Common occurrence to see blooms, green and ripe fruit together on the tree. The tree became too large for the Carnegie St home so was traded for a dozen cabbage plants to Mr. H. Harlow, Bell St., a market gar­ dener at that time. The lemon tree was forgotten by the Mitchell family until Mr. Har­ low brought' it into the Ingersoll Packing Co. office some 30 years years ago where Miss Hazel Mitchell was a staff member. The late J. W. Thomas of the Ingersoll Pack­ ing Co., was much interested ip this tree and since his death its well­ being has been attended to by the present Ingersoll Cheese Co. Ltd. It is a familiar sight in the sum­ mer to see the tree on the steps of the office building, and in the fall it is returned to the office vestibule where it attracts the attention of callers. There are two crops a year and some of the fruit have grown to the size of small grapefruit. It is now cared for by Leonard Hunt, a local florist. Parking Meters Beneficial Says Letter to Council Will Go to Tbamesford East Missouri Is Told Ingersoll’s collegiate board has informed East Missouri council they are prepared to go to Thamesford for a joint meeting in connection with the proposed new high school. Originally, it had been hoped to have a meeting with East Missouri Feb. 14, but the board was inform­ ed Tuesday night too many East Missouri councillors had other things to do that particular night. Ingersoll board has asked the meet­ ing to *ir th# whole new-echool sit­ uation. J. J. McLeod was reappointed aot retory fresmrn to the board. The question of parking meters for Ingersoll is in the wind again. This was revealed with the tabling in council of letters-to Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray and Town Clerk R. E. Winlaw from.Mr. M. I. Jones, rep­ resenting a company which handles such equipment Mr. Jones* letters followed a visit to town hall. ‘ It will be recalled that last year’s council was pretty mucji in favor of such equipment, byt deferred any concrete action pending com- letion of the new sewer system. Mr. Jones wrote that 24 of J9 Ontario communities with parking meters were communities of 7000 population or leas, “and the meters have proved successful in improv­ ing traffic conditions generally and have received the endorution of civic bodies, business groups, the motoring public and the general taxpayer. Drive Bt»ines« Away "Metered parking,” he wrote, "provides the customer who has legitimate ’ business the "'Tight to park in congested areas, instead of giving this privilege to the all-day parkcr, who invariably comman­ deers useful curb space, thereby driving potential business away from these areas. Meters also call for organized parking in spaces prop­ erly allocated, vAlch increases ac­ commodation in any prescribed area as compared to the indiscriminate parking where meters are not in use. "Actual traffic counts in metered areas show they have increased traffic turnover by 600 per cent, and in cities, transportation sched­ ules have been improved by reason (Continued on page 10) SHELLCRAFT CLASSES Classes in shellcraft will begin at the Y.M.C.A. next Tuesday, Feb- 15, under the direction of Edith Robbins. Anyone interested in ar­ tistry in shells la invited to attend at 7 p.m. Hope to Open School Addition By Next Tenn Opening of the five-room addi­ tion to Princess Elizabeth Public School by Sept. 1, in time for the new school year, is the objective of the public school board, according to C. A. Ackert, chairman. Mr. Ackert revealed that at their recent conference with department of education officials in Toronto it was decided the four rooms and kindergarten would be in a two- storey addition to the overcrowded school, rather than a single storey. The question of an auditorium was dropped for this year, he said. Three trustees—'Ackert, Walter Leaper and Clark Fellow, and a London architect, C. H. Gillin, made the trip to Toronto, where they got "a pleasant reception.’* They conferred with C. B. Routley and the department’s building ex­ pert. Mr. Ackert said the architect was now doing sketch drawings of the addition, which is as far as he can ■go until the municipal board ap­ proves the Town of Ingersoll's by­ law to borrow 8100,000 by issuing debentures. Council gave two read­ ings to the by-law, and cannot give the third until the board has ap­ proved the by-law. Councillor Morrison said one rea­ son for the terrible overcrowding of Victory Memorial School was the fact that pupils can go only to the fourth grade at Princess Elizabeth, then have to move to the other school The new addition will per­ mit pupils to go right to eighth grade at Princess Elizabeth School. “Victory Memorial is fair to bulging,’* said Mr. Morrison.

Can Place Sewage Under P.U.C. - Toronto It is perfectly, permissible to place the new sewage disposal plant under the control of the present public utilities commission, J. W. P. Carter, supervisor, the Ontario department of muncipal affairs, in­ formed town council Monday night. Town Clerk R. E. Winlaw had pre­ viously been naked to query Queen’s Park whether such a step could be taken. Mr. Carter pointed out, however, there could be two different situa­ tions. If the public utilities commis­ sion were going to act solely as the agent of the town in eonueetion (Continued on page 6) Ingersoll’s police are going tospend the next few days doing what most of the town’s youngsterswould give their eye teeth to do-just watch trains go by. This action was decided by towncouncil Monday night after Coun­ cillor Leo Ranger complained aboutthe "continual unnecessary shunt­ ing of trains’’ at the Thames St. crossing, and reported that work­ers in factories across the tracks were having their lunch hours ruinedby having to wait for trains toclear the crossings."Workers are being continuallydelayed by this shunting of foreigncars back and forth,” protested Mr.Ranger. "We should contact therailroads and see if it can be rem­ edied. After all, 60 minutes forlunch goes by pretty fast.” Arrest Conductor Councillor Fred Wurker, recalledprevious complaints and conferenceswith C.N.R. Superintendent Mur­ phy. at London, on the matter. Herecalled that at that time Mr. Mur­phy agreed to ace there would be no shunting between 10 to 12 and 10after, 10 to one and 10 after, and 10 to five and 10 after.“If Mr. Ranger will give mle specific times when trains are un- necessarily blocking the crossings”said Mr. Wurker, “I’ll be only too pleased to have the police checkand then draw the matter toMr. Murphy’s attention. We aregetting a lot of shunting thatshould be done elsewhere. Holdupsare pretty grim here.”Councillor Ranger suggested Mr. Murphy be contacted. Considerable shunting could be done in the west end,” he said."If,” said Mr. Wurker, who is chairman of the police committee, “if we find trains are blocking theroad more than five minutes, is it council’s wish to have the conduct­or brought before the magistrate,as is our right to do?' “Let’s not put the rail employeeson the spot,” said Councillor Ran­ger. “Let’s put Mr. Murphy on the spot. Most of those cars aren’t forIngersoll at all. The railroad should rebuild its yards. How about a new bridge at Wonham St., and letthe traffic cross there. What aboutan overhead bridge. The railroad was only too glad to help us on that”“You’re wrong there,” differedMayor Dr. J. G. Murray. "Have N>> Authority” Councillor Tom Morrison, of North American Cyanamid, saidhe resented the "slighting referenceto ‘foreign’ cars. He said a great number were concerned with hisplant, and with William Stone Sons, Ltd., which could not be considered“foreign”; he suggested."I don’t wish to minimize the inconvenience of the blocked cross­ing,” he 'said, “but let’s have noanimosity.”“Perhaps if we pinched one ofthe conductors it would stop it,” suggested the mayor.“That may be the brutal way, but it may also be the only way.” agreed Councillor Wurker. "You'llrecall Mr. Murphy said that once the rules are laid down the con­ductor and crew are on their own.If the conductor is not abiding byorders, we must check him up.” “I’ve been all through this since1935,” put m the mayor."Sometimes I’ve been held up there 7 and 8 minutes,” said Coun­cillor Kerr.“I’ve been held up 15 minutes,” said Mr. Morrison.It was decided the police shouldwatch and time tj&ins blocking thecrossings, and any further actionwould be based on their reports.

The thrill of riding down a steep hill at i>peed, with possibly a spill thrown in, has attrac­ ted auceeding generations to it. However, today the sport is enjoyed mostly by boys and girls. This was not always so. Back before skiing became popular, and before there were many automobiles to take the pleasure out of walking, grown-ups had their toboggan and bob-sled par­ ties. And they were merrj times, too! Tobogganing or sleighing is fun going downhill, but it is tedious work climbing up again and dragging the toboggan. The sleds of yesteryears were not the fancy ' factory-built jobs that one sees today. Then, one got a couple of Sleighs and fastened a long, sturdy plank on top of them, using the front sleigh to steer with. Some of those woodshed products were neatly turned out —the more elaborate ones with a paint job— and they were built for speed. We suppose that tobogganing lost its mass appeal to the grown-ups because of the uphill climb. The old coustom was that all who rode must help to pull the toboggan back up the hill. Many of us like our recreation without too much exertion, and not a few of us prefer the arm­ chair and footstool on winter evenings. Perhaps something of the same attitude has been taken by the boys and girls. In the older days, toboggan slides were- made on hills, where there was no traffic. Today, the best place to toboggan is on the hill of a town street, where the traffic has packed the snow down for a speedy run. There are still plenty of good hills around, where, with a little work, some splendid toboggan runways could be made. There is serious danger to tobogganing on the town's streets. Last week two children in our town had a very narrow escape when their to­ boggan ran into a car. Our police officers have issued warnings against tobogganing on the street, and these should be heeded. Motorists have difficulty controlling their car on the slip­ pery streets in ordinary driving, without an added hazard of speeding toboggans. /They cannot stop their cars quickly, nor swerve to miss sleigh riders, on the icy streets. We suggest that the boys and girls of our town get together and hunt a suitable hill in the dis­ trict around the town, and make a toboggan slide. It will be much safer for themselves, and their parents will not have occasion to yorry about them being involved in a traffic accident It will be much safer, too, for the motorists. We’d like to put it up to the boys and girlsas a sort of challengeai-to show that they are hardy participants in wBter sport, and that they can go farther away than the street hill outside the front door. The town is to be commended for its keenness in trying to clear Thames St, of snow, but frankly we think it would be better to leave the snow just where it falls rather than follow the system they tried last week. A plow went down the main street, throwing the snow to either side of the roach True, the centre was clear, but nearly every car parked or which tried to park got stuck in the piles at the curbs, and had to be pushed out. Then, drivers got a bit afraid of getting too close to the curb and parked further out, which narrowed down the main thorough­ fare and made traffic just as slow and twice as hazardous. Better to leave it stay where it fallswe say. Mr. J. Hill, harness dealer, moved to his store, the south of King street, between the Dcre- ham and Mansion Houses.

Last Thursday evening, Mrs. James Revell addressed the Book Club at the library and her talk led to an interesting discussion on toe part of the audience. The subject of her book review was “An Arab Tells His Story,” by Edward Ati­yah, a study in loyalties. Mr. Atiyah, while an ardent supporterof the British way, is also an ardentArab nationalist, and through hiseyes the reader gains an insightinto the attitude of the Arab inthe modern world. Mrs. Revell gavea vivid description of Mr. Atiyah’sSyrian background, his life at Ox­ford rad his marriage to an Eng­lish girl. His later work with toeSudanese Government as a publicrelations officer gave him what hefelt could be the solution to Brit­ish Oriental relations.This book supplements those j written by and about T.

A tenant there sued her landlady becausethe latter had cut off the hot water supply to theapartment. The landlady’s defence was that the tenant in question used an*" abnormally large amount of hot water. The tenant in turn pointedout that she was under doctor's x orders to takefrequent hot baths. A woman magistrate dealt with the situation by announcing that human righto must always come before property rights, so thehot water must be restored. Now, there is a whole wealth of philosophy in this case. It is a magnificent example of theconfusion which has arisen out of the well-inten­tioned remark that human rights are more im­ portant than property rights. Whose humanrighto than whose human rights? To whom do property rights belong except to human beings?Why is one person entitled to more hot water than another person?• The difficulty is, of course, that in such a caseas this, the other tenants are the ones who lose their human rights. They cannot get any hotwater at all.There is no such thing as property rights whichare not human rights. All human rights bring with them human obligations. The landlady inquestion had a human right to operate herapartment house according to the usual ruleswhich apply to such cases. She had a human right to expect to be able to furnish hot waterto her tenants in the normal quantity, withoutone particular tenant using an excessive amount.. The other tenants had a human right to the hot water supply for which they paid.The unfortunate tenant who is under medicalorders to take frequent hot baths should, of course, have made arrangements to provide herexcessive requirements of hot water above normal use at her own expense. That was ho? humanobligation. To throw out the remark that human rights must come above property rights, as though thiscontradicted all the assumptions on which oursociety is based and operated is jast not good enough. It is a story dreamed up by well-inten­tioned people, who did not stop to work theirtheories out to a practical conclusion.—Tillson-burg News.

HANDS IN TRAINING... FOR ONTARIO ’ Too Many Breaking The Law By Not Cleaning Sidewalks There are many people, these wintry days, who are breaking the law and getting away with it. f We refer to those people who never clear, the » snow, or sand or ash the ice on the walk in front of their homes or property. Some people just don’t think about it; others are too lazy; others think such menial labor beneath them and still others figure the sun will do the job quicker and as well as they. But no matter what his attitude or excuse, if the occupant or owner of a property does not keep his section of the walk clean of snow, or, ’ When icy, safe for walking, he is breaking the law. Ingersoll By-law No. 972, section 32, (May 5, 1930,) says the owner or occupant shall have his walk cleared within the first four hours of daylight after the snowfall, or within four hours of being told by the chief constable,' or some authority designated by council, to do so. Under the by-law, if the householder refuses to do the job, or says he can’t, then town author­ ities can have the snow cleaned at the house­ holder’s expense. If the householder then refuses to pay for the job, the expense can be charged asa special assessment against him. Snow shovelling is not a terrible job, particu­ larly if done immediately after the fait In fact, it contains all the ingredients for good, healthy living—fresh air, and sun and exercise of nearly every muscle in the body. It can take the place of physical jerks over the air, and be a quick appetite-producer before a meal. It’s amazing how a few minutes with a shovel in fresh air can smarten one up again after a rugged day in a stifling office. But apart from one’s own interests, there is the question of the health and safety of others who wish to walk safely their own streets. Con­ tinually walking on snow means packing, thenicing, then fttts, then broken bones and hospital I bills. It is not a pretty thing to see some elderly person, or mother with children, or some young­ ster take a somersault on the ice. And it could be a costly thing for the householder or property owner who neglected to clear his walk. Some say they can’t do such work—doctor’s orders. Well, that’s all right—there are ray number of small boys around town who will do “Off The Record” Gets Overworked ,<Of course that’s off the record"—how often have newspaper people heard that phrase or asimilar one containing the expressing “off therecord” in recent years? According to a recent issue of “Time” Maga­zine this “handy phrase has long since gottenout of hand.” A well-known U.S. editor charges that editors who persist in kowtowing to “off therecord” are frequently guilty of suppressing thenews.” It is pointed out that this “beautiful protectivephrase" formrely used only by high governmentofficials to let down their hair before the press,has now been cabbaged by officials of cities,towns and rural municipalities all across this continent. All they have to say is: “This is off therecord boys," and the reporter knows the wholestory—but he can’t write it.Most people will see how serious an over-usageof this seemingly innocent phrase “off the rec-i ord" can be. The reporter when he hears it, is: honor bound not to write .what he hears.Newspaper people along with the public would like to see an end to this type of subterfuge. —St Marys foumal-Argus Can We Change Wash-Day? From time immemorial women have designa­ ted Monday as indisputably wash-day, and haveclung to that decision with a tenacity worthy ofa great and noble cause. Who first decided itand how long ago is lost in the dimness of an­tiquity. But it has become as immutable as thoseembittering seasonal rites of Spring and Autumnhousecleaning. No family convenience or minorfamily catastrophe has been able to change it No mere male has ever successfully argued that-another day would do as well. Therefore we look with wonder rad a hint of pride as the Greater Niagara Power Conservationcommittee seta out to joust with one of the hoar­iest of feminine traditions. The idea is a simpleone.

BowerMany of the older citizens ofIngersoll will agree that for fortyor fifty years the population ofthe town seemed to have been fixedat or near the five thousand marie,as if loath to depart from that figure. But during the past six orseven years the population hassteadily increased until now it iswell over sixty-three hundred. The broad-minded and public spiritedpolicy of our professional and bus­iness men, and our manufacturing and working classes in their servi­ces to our community through the Service Clubs 'and other organiza­tions are all bearing fruit and ten­ ding to make our town a betterplace to live. It is quite evidentthat our citizens are Just as anx­ ious to see that all our people arein good health and happy as they are for the success of their ownbusiness. This spirit together with the character of our industries, alltend to help Ingersoll hold her pres­ent growth and create a tendency for expansion.It is a long way back to Oxford Village, or the Ingersoll of 120years ago. Yet through the pre­servation of some old letters writ­ ten in 1828 we are enabled to liftthe lid of that period and peak intothe village of 120 years ago.In 1828 the village containedabout 20 families. The houses were all built of logs with two or threeexceptions, which were frame. Oneof these was the Ingersoll home­stead at or near where R. Neil’sshoe store now stands and another at the southeast corner of Kingand Wonham Sts. These homes must have been considered the mansions of the wealthy in thosedays. There were two general stores where goods could be Pur­chased in exchange for bushels ofwheat, pounds of pork, or pounds, shillings and pence, American orMexican dollars or Spanish pieces of eight. It was a common ex­change of tea or sugar for gallonsof whisky or pounds of candles.There was a tannery, two' saw nulls,a grist mill, an ashery, a cooper shop, a distillery, a blacksmithshop, a carding and fulling mill anda log schoolhouse. The only church was in West Oxford on the landgranted by Joel Piper in 1819 onthe present site of the West Oxford Church. „ , „ .The following is a list of all themale residents living in the village:Samuel Canfield, Joel Canfield Da­vid Canfield, Abram Canfield,Thomas Canfield, Elisha Hall, Charles Hall, Daniel Carroll, Reu­ben Carroll, Samuel Smith, HenrySmith, Clark Hallaeck, J. Sherman,William Sherman. George Bronson,Dan Bronson, W. Bronson, Sey­ mour Bronson, Mr. Wickwire, Wil­liam Maynard, Zenas Maynard, William Kennedy, tMoses Kennedy, A.

Stimson, G. G. Stimson, J. D. Stimson, Nelson Doty, Abel Doty,and Austin Doty.Elisha Hall’s residence was at theeast end of the village' on the loca­tion occupied by the late JamesFergusson. the Canfields lived justeast of the Hall residence. 'Die Carroll home was on the hill, KingSt East and Samuel Smith's hotelstood opposite the Ingersoll home,about where Zurbrigg’s bake shopis now. Samuel Ingersoll's dwell­ ing and tannery were situated onthe southwest corner of King and Wellington Sts.vMr. Bronson was the local Meth­odist preacher and he and J. Fher- man occupied a log dwelling on thewest corner of King and Water Yts., or the west end of what in lateryears was known as the Ark block.

Scoff in's grocery stoodon the south side of King East,1 near the dam. The ashery stood onthe west side of the creek near the former location of our post office.(The former site of the Ingersoll Post Office was where the CanadianTire Corporation is now located.) The log distillery stood down in thehollow where the jog is in Water St., just south of the creek. It wasafterwards replaced by C. H. Slaw-son's pork house, which has also disappeared in the relentless marchof time. L. Schofield's blacksmithshop first stood at the northwestcorner of King and Water Sts., the site later occupied by the late L.Noe’s candy shop, and now by a laundry. The Schofield shop waslater removed to King West, aboutthe location of J. Lee's residence. The Ingersoll store stood on thenortheast corner of King and Thames and in it in 1828 was hous­ed the post office. The old housewhere James Ingersoll was bomstood about the present location ofR. Neill’s shoe store, and at that time was occupied by Mr. Miracleand J. Underwood. J. Doty’s plank house stood near the southeast cor­ner of Thames and Charles Sts. Thelog schoolhouse stood at the north side of the grounds now occupiedby the Victory Manorial School. At this time there were but fewhomes on King St. west of Thames.Lyman Schofield lived on KingWest, Charles Parkhurst at the cor­ner of King and Wonham. There were two log houses, one east andone west of Whiting Creek on the site of F. Fulton's mill, which wasformerly known as the King's FlourMills. James Boyce, G. Whiting, James Swarts and Mr. Merick livedstill farther west of Whiting Creekon King St. Mr. Ingersoll's saw mill stood on the present site of thedam at Smith's pond, and Elisha Hall's saw mill on the site of theold Stuart’s pond northeast of Vic­toria Park. The carding and full­ing mill of Charles Parkhurst wereon Charles St, near Whiting Creek and below the present site of F.Fulton’s mill. The log dwellings of the villagegenerally had but two rooms belowand a loft above. A ladder standing in one corner served as a stairwayto the loft, where the children andhired help used to sleep. Therewere no stoves in those days, so thelog homes were heated by largebrick or stone fireplaces, usually atone end of the building. Thesefireplaces were large enough totake logs big enough to form a bedof coals that would last through the long winter night, and consequent­ly made the boys work pretty sharpto chop wood as fast as the fire could take it. Of course, the woodcost nothing then. The people of the village were poor and some of them would havesuffered severely at times if it had not been for the generous, kindlyspirit of Charles and James Inger­soll, who were ever ready to lend ahelping hand.The educational advantages were very limited. There were no freeschools and every family in. the vil­lage that sent children to school had to shoulder the burden of pay­ing $2 per quarter for each child for their tuition, besides helping toboard the teacher. We can readilyunderstand that this must have been a real burden to the poor manwho had several children. The books used were Murray's gram­mar, Woodbridge’s geography, Da-bo’s arithmetic, the English read­er, and Webster’s spelling book.The only qualification demanded ofthe teacher was to be able to teachthese subjects and to be a Britishsubject.The village did not possess achurch at this time and religious services were held in the log school­house or in, private homes, and some times in the barn. The Meth­odist travelling preachers camearound on their circuit once in two or three weeks on horseback andwere well received and had goodcongregations.Although the people were poorand were deprived of many luxuriesand many of the necessities of life,yet they seemed to have been con­tented and happy. The village thenwas but a small clearing in the for­est, the river teemed with fish and the forest abounded in game, all ofwhich could be had for the effortof fishing or hunting or by barterfrom the many Indians for very lit­tle.It is a long way from 1828 to1949, but from among the people of Oxford Village came manynames that in after years were tobe respected and honored. Thesucceeding generations of thesevillagers have distinguished them­ selves in almost every walk of life,and we today are proud to ownthem as our predecessors. Many of them did not have their names en­rolled in lhe halls of fame, but they did their best for their community. OUT OF LIFE Not mine to do the brilliant deed,Nor mine to come to fame,But mine to fill wme humbler need,Its lasting love to claim.

Retail grading wasdiscussed, also the bacon hog versusthe lard hog, and which was thecheaper to raise. It zwas agreedthat farmers’ hogs are strictly grad­ed but retail cuts do not seem to begraded satisfactorily to please the public. All agreed that they wouldlike to know more about the grad­ing of retail cuts. Operative mar­keting was discussed but no solu­tion Was reached.

G> Thuriton Zone Forester In too many cases the woodlot isnot considered a valuable part of the farm, but a woodlot can bemade a distinct .asset and can pro­vide much material of value foruse on the farm and for sale. By practising wise management in his woodlot, a farmer can raisethe status of the woodlot to a high point in his economical set-up. Fuel,lumber, posts and' maple syrup arethe main products which may be de­ rived from a woodlot every yearwithout decreasing its value. Wisemanagement will enable the har­vest of such materials and at thesame time will increase the valueof the woodlot for future use. A woodlot is a valuable naturalresource, and as such should be conserved, not wasted. Conserva­tion, does not mean abstenationfrom cutting, but wise use of awoodlot. Wise use entails cuttingof certain trees or types of trees to improve the quality of the wood­lot. As is widely known, by-laws havebeen passed by counties to prevent unauthorized cutting of woodiota.In most cases, this does not work a hardship on the farmer. In spiteof the by-laws, woodlot manage­ment can be effectively practised and much cutting done. Another point to be discussedin this series of articles will be re­ forestation. More and more peopleare beginning to realize the import­ance and necessity of reforestation,and as an aid to farmers in theirwork, many suggestions will beoffered. On most farms there is a splendid opportunity for reforesta­tion in the form of windbreaks andsmall plantations. In the work carried out or plan­ned by river valley authorities,here and in the U.S., reforestationis very important. In many parts ofOntario, the area under tree coveris much below the optimum condi­tion. Experts say about 20 percent, of an area should be coveredby trees, but many Ontario countieshave only six or eight per cent, oftheir area covered by trees, (Perth. 6.5 per cent., Huron, 9.1 per cent;Oxford, 7 per cent; Waterloo;10 per cent. This means a heavy loss of soil water and possibly sev­ ere erosion and loss of valuable soil. By reforestation and properwoodlot management, this figurecan be raised to a more satisfac­ tory level. If this is done, benefitsare sure to be felt by all. The Department of Agriculturerenders valuable assistance to far­mers on nearly all phases of farm­ ing activites. It is the desire of theDepartment of Lends and Foreststo render similar services to farm­ ers in connection with their wood­lots. To, carry out this 'program, zone forester# have been appointed to give direct advice to land ownersconcerning plantation and woodiota.As part of this program, thesearticles are planned to acquaintthem with the steps that can be taken to make woodiota 'more val­uable.(This article is the first of aseries—Editor.) DON’T STOP ON DIME Can you. stop your car on a'dime? Even if you could, it isn’tthe safe way to stop, especially ifthat dime-distance is slippery withice or snow! The Department ofHighways urges you to allowplenty of .space between your car and the one ahead, especially onslippery roads. Be sure you canstop in time to avoid an accident.

It was the choir’s secondvisit to Ingersoll. After it washere a year ago, efforts were be­ gun then to have it return this sea­son. Dr. Leslie R. Bell (M.A., Mus. D.) directed the choir of 40 youngwomen. The choral arrangements were his own. The selections ap­pealed to the large audience, fromthe quick, catchy numbers taken from musical comedies and old folksongs to the splendor of tho music of the church. In its interpretation,the choir had a perfect enunciation,. with a depth and fullness of tone . like majestic organ music, and attimes the light notes of a piano. The choir sang the program with­out accompaniment. Dr. Bell intro­duced each number with an inter­ esting little sketch about it andwhat it represented. After the1 singing of' “God Save the King,’’the choir presented a group entitl­ed, ’’Music of the Church.” The first group, Dr. Bell said,typified what religion has done formusic, or what music has done forreligion. It included: “Sanctus”(Palestrina), from the Roman Ca­tholic religion; “Old Hundredth”(Calvinist Tsalm), from the Pro­testant religion; “Eli, Eli” (ancient Hebrew chant), from the Jewish religion, and there were three Ne­gro spirituals—"Ole Moses Put Pharaoh In His Place," "Deep Riv­ er,” and "Rocka My Soul.”The next group was "Folk Songs of America,’’ Dr. Bell stating thatthere are many lovely folk songs inAmerica as well as in Europe. Thefirst number was a French-Canadi­an one, "Ah! Si Mon Moine Vou- lait Danser.” Dr. Bell told the au­dience that Canada’s richest storeof folk songs is in French-Canada. Then three Newfoundland songswere sung—"Long Beach Sea,"“Petty Harbor Bait Skiff,” and'Tse the Boy That Builds theBoat.” Newfoundland in becom­ ing a province of Canada, will bring much music with it, Dr. Bell said.“Wherever you have an isolatedpeople, you have music. Thepeople,” he explained, ’’make theirown community life and their own music. The group also included two American songs—“Black is the Col­or of My True Love’s Hair” and"Lollytoodum.” Before the choir appeared forthe third and final group, J. C. Herbert, the principal of the Inger­soll District Collegiate Institute, ex-1pressed sincere thanks to the au-1dience for its fine support of the’programs, on behalf of the stu­dents and staff of the Collegiate. “Because of the fine showing made here last year,” he said, “the music branch of the Department of Edu­ cation has seen fit to send to us again this internationally-famous choir.” Mr. Herbert said also that no1 deficit accrues to the departmenton the concert series in Ingersoll. He regretted that it had not beenpossible to sell more tickets for the program, and he also regretted that some had to stand during the eve­ning. The principal was pleasedthat a large number of the Collegi­ate and Public School students werepresent, stating that the chief pur­pose of the concerts is to supple­ment the music instruction in theschools. Present plans, Mr. Herbert said, are to have a subscribers* list fornext year’s concert series. If theconcerts continue to increase inpopularity, he said it may be neces­sary to place a limit on the ticketsales because of accommodation.Mr. Herbert thanked Dr. Bell and the members of the choir for com­ing to Ingersoll again, assuringthem that they have many listenersin the community to their radioprograms. He also thanked Rev. C. D. Daniel, the minister of TrinityUnited Church, its officials and thecongregation for the use of the au­ ditorium. The choir’s final group was com­ posed of numbers which it sings onits radio programs. They were:“Ave Maria” (Gounod), "Echo Song” (Di Lasso), with a smallecho choir in the vestry; "Some­where Over the Rainbow” (Arlen);“Suabian Folk Song,” an interpre­tation of a German band rendering a song which is sung in the SwissAlps; and a medley from the music­al comedy, "Good Newa” (Brown). Acceding to the audience’s pro­longed applause, Dr. Bell directed the choir in an encore, a Negrospiritual, “And I Couldn’t HearNobody Pray.” For the next en­core, he said, “We’ll go out West for an old-fashioned square dance:you choose your partners and we’ll sing the music." This was followedby the singing of "Annie Laurie.’’Thanking the audience for its reception, Dr. Bell said the choirhad a long way to drive—to Toron­to—and the program was closed with the theme song it sings on itsCanadian General Electric radioprograms. For its first group, the music ofthe church, the choir appeared inmaroon surplices over white gowns.It wore white gowns, with shoulder-length sleeves, and blue shoulder sashes for the singing of the folksongs, and for its final appearance,it wore evening gowns, in identical design, of various pastel shades andelbow-length gowns. Following the concert, the mem­bers of the choir were entertainedin the church parlors by the Wo­ men’s Music Club and the staff ofthe Collegiate. Mrs. W. R. Veale and Mrs. J. C. Herbert poured tea and coffee from silver services at aprettily appointed table,, covered with a lace cloth and decoratedwith a bouquet of daffodils andlighted tapers. Members of the Music Club and the Collegiate staffserved the refreshments. Mr. Herbert expressed apprecia­tion to the choir for the much-en­joyed concert, to which Dr. Bel) responded. Mr. Herbert also thank­ed the members of the Music Club,and Mrs. A. G. Murray, the club’spresident, replied. Miss Fern Good­ison and Mrs. R. Wark assisted Mrs Murray in convening the arrange­ments.

You can ahran count on' “If the peoples of India cannot get together to form a true united, independent India, there is the aw­ ful danger they might go Commun­ ist,” Lieut-Col. L, H. Carr-Harris, who spent 13 years in India with the British army, told the Kiwahis Club of Ingersoll at their weekly meeting Thursday night. Col. Carr- Harris now lives in West Zorra, building up a herd of Holsteins. “Nothing could be further from their outlook, beliefs and habits of living, than communism,” he said, “but if famine, persecution, and all those terrible things that follow mal-administration continue, there is terrible danger of the peoples of India chucking their hand in and saying ’Oh well, what the heck,we’ll go communist*.”He stressed that the nearness ofRussia, and the fate of China, were factors of great influence.Col. Carr-Harris,- introduced by Don Mackenzie, said people made a big mistake when they looked uponIndia as a “country.” He said itwas, instead, a continent, with three times the population of all ofNorth America. He said the manydialects, religious differences andstandards of living of India’s 400,-000,000 tended toward disunity, ra­ ther than unity.“Far worse than racial differ­ences,” he said, "are the religiousdifferences. Religions of the Hinduand Mohammedan are not only tot­ally different, but antagonistic.

Advertise in The Ingersoll Tribune Sentiment orSentimentalityBy Eveline A. LongThe play and interplay of theemotions create an intricate andever varying pattern in our lives. That they were meant to do. Thedeveloped emotions in man make him different from and superior tothe lesser animals. The display ofthem gives to literature and tothe stage the power to hold us upas to a mirror. We’d be poor things without our emotions, dead anddreary things, quite unfit for lifeas it should be lived. But while one extols the gift to life of the emo­tions, they surely should be con­ trolled emotions; happiness thatseeks to share itself; misery thatdecently veils itself; ** fear thattrembles but faces the foe; pridethat is humbly prideful of handi­ caps overcome and things, concreteor spiritual, nobly won. Above alla sense of humour is the perfect balance wheel to our emotions.And it is in that that the drearysoap-operas to miserably fail. Theycan make you snif and sob to theheart’s content, if sniffing and sob­bing are what you want of life,but that inner glow that comesfrom understanding, from a reco­ gnition of the funny side of thehuman character is sadly missing.I suppose most people have tuned in at some time or another to thosefifteen minute periods of. woe. Thetiming of most of them is excellent.The urge to follow the fortunes, ormore properly misfortunes, of the family, is well played upon. But you get exactly nowhere. Go backtot the same program months later and the heroine, the aggravating!?/noble heroine, is still sloshing aboutknee deep in frothy sentiment, and the weeping and the wailing to theaccompaniment of organ music stillfills the minutes not occupied inextolling the sponsor’s wares. Oh,for just a gleam of fun and humourin all that dreariness. Perhaps it is for that that the fans continue totune in and expectantly wait. I’m afraid my strong suit isn’t patienceof that sort Sentimentality boresme, makes me feel slightly uncom­ fortable, as when one comes un­aware on some too intimate scene.But the play and interplay of true sentiment on the mind and heart isa fascinating thing to encounter.Could we not have more fine sen­timent and less sloppy sentimental­ity even in these soap programs? LODGE THANKED FOR PARCELSWorshipful Master A. G. Murraypresided over the regular meetingof King Hiram Lodge, No. 37, A.F. & A.M., on Friday evening. Dur­ing the meeting, the secretary, Rt. Wor. Bro.

The fact that he met a gloomy endon Feb. 14, 220 AJ3., seems tohave little association with heartsand flowers, ribbon and lace and sweet sentiments that -perpetuatehis name in this card-giving gener­ation. All that is known of Valentinehimself is that he was a presbyter of the early Christian Church,arrested in the persecutions underClaudius ii, imprisoned for a longperiod, and finally beaten and be­headed. The other event supposedto be a connecting link is the factthat among the Roman festivitiesof the date there was a ceremony in which the names of young wo­men were drawn from a box byyoung men “as chance directed." Those chosen presumably came to.be known as Valentines. It wasthis notion that spread through Eu­rope in spite of the efforts of theChurch to associate the day with more saintly observances. In the fascinating Book of Days,published in 1863, there is a des­cription of a ceremony performedin England and Scotland a hundredyears before, on St. Valentine’sEve. Following the Roman custom,names were written on billets anddrawn by lot by a "group of maidsand bachelors: so that each of the young men lights upon a girl hecalls his Valentine. Fortune havingdivided the company into so manycouples, the Vajentine s give balls and treats to their mistresses, weartheir billets several days upon theirbosom or sleeves, and this littlesport often ends in love." To be drawn as a Valentine inSamuel Pepys days became expen­sive as a gift was always expectedin return for being named a Valen­ tine, and very often this was ajewel of some kind. Another notion was that the first unmarried person of the oppositesex whom one met abroad on theday, was a destined wife or hus­ band, and canny young ladies tookcare that chance would fall on theright one. Chamber’s Book of Days takes avery condescending tone about thecelebration of the day in its time,calling it a “much degenerated fes­tal", chiefly marked by the sen­ ding of humorous or sentimentalcards by “the lower classes”chiefly as a joke. Whatever the feeling may be to­day, the 14th is a colourful mark on the calendar for February andis the motive for parties and thesending of cards and whatever it is that keeps the festival alive in thisage, perhaps we cannot quite es­cape the notion once firmly held,that even the Birds of the airchoose their mates on Valentine’s day.

Itwas the -extremely poor social andhealth conditions which contributedto the success of communistic arm­ies in that country and if the wes­tern powers desert them at thistime they may be lost entirely tothe democratic way of life. Canada and the U. S. have aunique position in their control ofthe worlds’ goods. "Few of us,” hesaid, "are aware Canada and theU.S., while representing but sevenper cent of the world’s population,possess 70 per cent of the world’sautomobiles.”The Y.M.C.A. has spread to 36countries and today encircle the globe everywhere and at all timesteaching young men to help them­selves.“The young people of Europeand the Middle East can developif given an opportunity”, said Mr.Fowler. “You can destroy buildingsbut you cannot destroy the spiritof man.”Mr. Fowler was introduced byC.

Parking Meters ...(Continued from page 1)of the fact that meters have helpedeliminate double parking and curbcruising.Cnt* Car Damage “From the standpoint of the car owner,” Mr. Jones went on,, “the meter toll represents a lesser cosj than the expenditure of fuel wear and tear searching for a parking space. Orderly parking provided by meters has a tendency to reduce minor ear damages caused by man- oeuvrings into crowded curb space, and the cost of repairs to one fen­ der would constitute many months of meter tolls.
