Arthur Welsh, min­ ister of planning and development, has told the Tribune by long dis- ance telephone from Toronto. • Mr. Welsh said it was okayed by his department first, then went to the lands and forests and works departments for their approval This was completed Wednesday and the order-in-cobncil officially authorizing the signed today. “They can now,” said Col. necessary work mendous amount of good.” Gordon Pittock, Ingersoll dele­ gate to the Thames Valley Author­ ity, said test drilling along the five- and-a-half mile stretch to be straightened had been completed, and engineers were now completing the survey. He said complete speci­ fications would be in the hands of G. G. Reid, consulting engineer to the authority, by the end of this month, and tenders would be im­ mediately called for then. "Tenders ■will be opened March 14, and they should start digging April 1,” Mr. Pittock said, from Toronto. The provincial govimment con­ tributes 3714 per cent, of the cost, and guarantees a further 37’4 per cent the dominion is supposed to contribute. Property owners in the area affected will pay the remain­ der, approximately $150,000. The town of Ingersoll is contributing nothing. The program calls for straight­ ening, widening and deepening 30,032 feet of the river, beginning in the village of Beachville, and running 10,000 feet west of the centre line of the Thames St bridge. It is designed to eliminate floods, make more land available for industry, and beautify the area. Mr. Reid and his assistant, John Simpson, were in Ingersoll Tuesday surveying the proposed new route as the Thames was raging over six feet higher than normal as a result of the rains and unseasonal tem­ peratures. The river, at its peak, was about five feet lower than (Continued on page 8) - go-ahead should be start work right Welsh. “It’s a very and will do a tre- the MOUNT ELGIN By Miss B.

After participating in about three hours’ discussion and visiting the new Simcoe arena, most delegates returned home convinced that not only was artificial ice virtually a necessity, but a possibility in the not too distant future. Gordon Pit­ tock, who .headed the Ingersoll delegation, said on return the arena committee would hold public meetings shortly to discuss sites and to hear experts in the con­ struction of such buildings. ______ “The workhave done stands out,’"Farlow mentionedsight conservationwork.Lionism places before ------member, figuratively, the child.

Mr. Bruce Pearce, of the Simcoe Arena Commission, told the group,: “Our arena is the greatest thing that ever happened to Simcoe. It has revolutionized the life of the young people of the town.” He said it took four years to get the money and build the arena. About $110,000 was first subscribed by the people, then town council put up the remaining $60,000. But, Mr. Pearce said, in the two months the arena had been operating, 11,000 children had been skating there, 15,000 had attended hockey games, (there are 25 teams using the ice), 400 atten­ ded an ice carnival there “and we can’t provide ice time for all who want it” Costs $100 « Day Mr. Pittock asked- many ques­ tions, pertaining to the financing, MRS.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17th, 1949 THE SILVER LINING Get into the habit of looking for the silver lining of the cloud, and w’hen you have found it, continue to look at it, rather than at the leaden gray in the middle. It will help you over many hard places.—A. A. Willits. It Has Been a Grand Winter But Hurry Up, Good Spring Having duly celebrated St. Valentine’s Day - - chiefly with the aid of the post office • ■ we also marked the passing of the middle of February. And with the February’s ending approaching, we begin to look towards the signs of spring’s coming. Pleased as we are to welcome the. early robins, several having been seen already this season, we do not think they wall have much influence upon the hastening of winter away. However, they can help to make the intervening time pass much more enjoyably with their happy singing. Towards the end of February, we begin to look with anticipation to the coming of spring. We take delight in the longer days and the war- mar sun. And we know that while winter can make us shudder with 'its worst still yet, those warming rays of Old Sol will not let the snow and ice stay around oyer-long. It has been an enjoyable winter. We have good skating outdoors and indoors (in the local and district arenas), and there has been skiing and sleighriding. For the motorist, it has been a slippery one, and many have wishfully hoped for a car that carried a sand supply of its own that would work with a lever on the dashboard to drop sand beneath skidding wheels. Winter is a much easier time for those who heat with oil, or gas, or electricity, than it is fdr the people "who shovel coal. The fixing of fur­ naces or stoves, a good many people will agree, takes up quite a lot of time each winter. There are ashes to carry out, too. So it’s about this time that a good many look hopefully for the coming of spring. Not a few are ■wont to remark, with something of glee, “The winter’s back is broken!” Spring will bring much outdoor action for everybody. For many farmers, there will be the making of maple sugar and maple syrup, and who in the urban centres doesn’t hope that the sap runs extra well this year? When the hardware stores start decorating their windows with the buckets and spiles, and all things needed for syrup making, we can be confident that spring is on the way. But when we see the boys playing marbles on the sidewalks and the girls out with their skipping ropes, it ■will be spring! / Of course, we’re just past the middle of Febru­ ary. King Winter still may send us blizzards and zero weather, but we have an ally now in Old Sol, who every day is throwing just a little more defiance towards him. We know that King Win­ ter will be vanquished before long, and we fear that the gladness of our welcome to spring may greatly exceed the welcome we gave to him last fall when he sent the first snowflakes down. All of Us Should Be Asked Not Just Factory Workers Employees of every factory in Ingersoll are being asked to contribute one day’s pay toward the new Alexandra Hospital fund. Borden’s em­ ployees have already responded to the extent of about 95 per cent and in other factories can­ vassing is going on. There is no doubt but what the big percentage will respond generously to swell the fund that will enable Ingersoll and area to have one of the finest small hospital ins America. The example set by the Borden's employees is a wonderful demonstration of unselfish commun­ ity-mindedness and interest in one's fellow man. But we don’t see why the factory worker should be singled out. If they are going7 to be ' asked to give a day’s pay to the project, then all we workers should be asked to do the same, no matter what our employment. There is no reason, for example, why the person who works on a newspaper shouldn't be asked to make the same contribution to the public good. We think the response would be just as good as that of the factory workers, and we think the factory wor­ kers would feel much more eager if they knew al! of us were in it together.

Notes on the Editor's Pad..Perhaps the town fathers can’t afford a newtown hall right at the moment, but they shouldtreat themselves to a new front door. The onehanging together there at the Town Cleric’s offeenow is a disgrace. It looks like somothing rightout-of “Inner Sanctum”; not the main doorwayto the seat of the town government. We were a bit afraid to even touch the handle for fear it fell out. It looks as though moths, mice, or ter­mites—or all three—have been hard at work around the handle, and the door itself is so hitby dry rot that probably one good slam and itwould crumble into 'dust. If we’re going to mod­ ernize, let’s start right at the front door. It’s a brave man, they say, who can poke funat himself. We’re not particularly brave, but' wecan’t resist this opportunity.,__The Tribuiie, as everyone knows, prides itself on its fine qualityof newspage and commercial printing. It is neat,clean, modern and accurate. And that is what wesaid in a big ad last week—neatness, moderateprices and accuracy. But when the paper startedto come off the press, you could almost hear thewhole staff blushing. There was one big errorin the paper. Ingersoll was spelled Ingersol. And guess where the error was—right in thead extolling our neatness and accuracy! Two editions ago we published a most interest­ing photo taken in 1866 of 12 horses pulling Ing­ersoll’s famous "big cheese” on a wagon toward the railroad station. This week we saw the re­mains of the historic wagon slowly decaying onthe farm of Wilbert Stephenson, North TownLine. How long it has been there, Mr. Stephenson^couldn't say. How it got there in the first place is just as big a mystery to him. But that it isTHE wagon Mr. Stephenson is quite sure. Thewheels and axles and iron work are quite sound, despite the fact the wagon has been lying outsideforgotten and neglected for at least over halfa century. The tongue is all but gone, as is theupper structure, but it seemed to us that thewagon could, and should be restored and perhapsgiven to the Oxford museum as an interesting and important relic of the life and times of thearea. What Others S ay: Why Advertise?—Bank’s Reply The question is sometimes apked—and not onlyby persons with queer economic ideas—‘why ad­ vertise?’ ' The answer can be given by drawingthree circles: a big one, a smaller one inside it,and a smaller inside that. The little circle indi­cates the number of prospects that can be metpersonally by the sales force, the next larger shows the wider group that can be reached by awell-built mailing list, while the outer circleshows the extent to which prospects can be can­ vassed by advertising in its various forms of pub­lication and display.This is one of the opening paragraphs in an interesting thesis on the advertising business inthe current monthly letter of the Royal Bank ofCanada. It was written by John R. Heron, thebank’s public relations counsel, who for someyears was city editor and then news editor of theToronto Daily Star,As with most of his monthly letters, Heron hasgiven careful study to the subject. It is a letter that no advertising man—in fact no one connect­ed with the printing and publishing world—should miss reading. Here are just a few of hisobservations: One of the first positive rules is that advertis­ing is an investment, not a speculation. Gamblesin advertising, followed by disappointment andretrenchment, are wasteful. They upset the econ­ omic equilibrium. They give business that air ofstarts and stops so well summed up in the tersetelegram of the conductor of the often derailed train: "Off again on again, gone again: Finne­gan."Another rule is that, advertising is fruitless if the advertiser does not offer something whichwill genuinely serve some human want. The third rule is not to expect overwhelming returns in the way of sales from the first ad ortwo. Advertising docs not work that way. It de­posits in the mental storehouse of the prospect,impression after impression until he has a well-defined picture of the product and the service itwijl perform for him. It is a paradox that the more business adver­tises a worthy product the less that product costs the consumer. By stimulating demand, advertis­ing increases production and reduces unit pro­duction cost. At the same time, big production is dependent upon bulk distribution methods with arelatively stable demand over a fine area. Over a period of only a few years, the demandfor electric refrigerators increased so greatlyin response to advertising that production costs came down, and the purchase price per unit fellby 54 per cent. In the United States in 1905 theaverage cost of an automobile was 31,600 and there were 200,000 sold; in 1935 the average costwas $600 and sales totalled 3,200,000. Even insuch everyday items as toilet soap, reductions of60 per cent, have been shown in 20 years. For its own sake, the advertising business must - keep high standards. As the result of vigorouseducational campaigns carried on by advertis-* Ing clubs and associations, much objectionable S advertising has been eliminated. Not so muchappeal.is made as formerly to mankind’s lowermotives, though some advertisers argue that this kind of appeal is necessary because the audiencehas not risen above it In summing up, it may be said that advertisinghas these qualities: it tends to make for betterproducts at lower cost; it informs people aboutSew commodities and new uses; it helps to raiseie standard of living; it fosters understandingof competitive business enterprise, a service vital , to continuance of our free way of life; it devel­ops employee pride in the cotoypany, and demon­strate^. management’s pride in the workers. Advertising is here to stay. What ever someacademic people may say, the activities of mar-"keting are part of the work of production. Noone can think of anything more futile than afactory producing goods and stockpiling them forever. Advertising can be a great force for good, if it. is approached ethically by the advertiser, and with common sense by the consumer.—The Ayl­mer Express. • X Equals Dog French taste clips its syllables and its poodles.French intellect imposes logical categories onevanescent variety.

This, however,was a reduction in deficit of about $3,600 over 1947, when the deficitwas $10,926.“It shows a great deal for thesuperintendent and her staff, thatwhile most hospitals these days are suffering mounting deficits, our op­erating deficit was actually reduc­ed,” declared Mr. Green. Mr. Start paid tribute to the workof the women’s organizations in thebuilding a ad furnishing of the hos­ pital, and said he understood thewomen’s hospital auxiliary, in par­ticular, was planning to expand and do even more during 1949."The year 1948 has been an out­ standing year for us,” he said."While hospitals all over the prov- (ince have been operating at greaterand greater deficits, ours, through ,the efforts of our superintendent, , Mrs. Smith, and her staff, has been (operating on an even keel, or per­haps a little better than an even keel." 1He said a great debt of gratitude was owed Mr. Green for his efforts 1 as secretary-treasurer, and on his 'own.Mrs. Smith, giving her annualreport, said <871 patients were ad­ mitted, and 246 babies were bornthere, or 80 more births than 1947.Total days’ stay for patients treat­ed was 11,664, with private andsemi-private patients—3,631; pub­ lic ward patients—6,035, and nurs- t ery, 1,998.

She thanked the. women’s auxiliary' for linen and■ dishes, and especially for a chest of. silver for the nurses' dining room. She was also grateful for the gifts- and remembrances at Christmas i “which mean so much to shut-ins.” She thanked the Ora Circle of theI King’s Daughters for supplies to ■ the nursery; the iKiwanis, for mon­ey and other assistance; the LionsClub of Ingersoll “for generous do­nations and interest in the buildingof the new hospital,” and she add­ed "to the new hospital committeeand all those organizations workingfor the new hospital, we offer ourbest wihes for the future in theplanning of the new building whichwe so badly need.”* Mr. Hines moved a resolution ofthanks and appreciation to the sup­erintendent, nurses, medical staff,employees and auditors, and it was heartily endorsed.

He said a great debt wasowed the Lions* Club, and the La­dies’ Auxiliary. “Few men’s groups have as goodand as active a group as our hos­ pital auxiliary," he said. "I wouldparticularly like to thank Mrs.Dewan, your chairman, who has put in hours and hours of worry, writ­ing, phoning and just plain work­ing. It’s probably a good time, too, to thank our contractor, BillSchwenger.” He lauded the job being done byMr. Schwenger, and said an old-timer in the business had said the cement walls poured by Mr.Schwenger were the finest he had ever seen. "Mr. Schwenger tellsme we’re a little bit ahead of sche­dule,” Mr. Horton continued, "and he feels that the final cost might bea little less than expected.” “By next Easter (1950), at the very latest,” declared Mr. Horton,"we’ll have the finest small hospital in North America.” Mrs. Dewan stood up to say sherefused to accept all the credit.

Theserum seemed to be stronger thanthe one taken before, as groans and “Oh, it hurts” were echoed throughthe halls, thus causing many of thepupils to back away from the nee­dle. Almost a third of those whodid take the serum in the fall didn’t take it this time. (I wonder why?)Grade 9S put on the first Liter­ary meeting of the year at the townhall. Their play wns in the formof a radio play, with ' Norm. Mit­ chell as head announcer of stationICT.

Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 17, 1949Fatal to W ear M elanch olyOf the T h oughtfu l, Is V ie w By Eveline A. Long The melancholy that comes with suffering or loss is not alwayseasily shed. Time that dulls theedge of sadness may do it, for it is something worn thick andshrouding while it is new, but be­coming thin with use, the naturallylighter and rosier hues shinethrough its transparencies. This isthe melancholy of the ordinarilyoptimistic character, the one whoprefers light to shade. He may wearhis melancholy with passion, but not for long.Then there is the melancholy of Shakespeare’s Jacques, a garment he wore because he liked it. It never shrouded him and it wasnever quite black. If for a momenthe could have been persuaded tocast off his favourite shade of grey, he would have appeared embar­rassingly naked and most certainlyunhappy, as he never was in hisaccustomed and well worn garment.He wore it with an air of virtue that slightly implied that lighterand brighter garments were forfools, only. He .broods on the agesof man, his trivial beginnings andendings, and leaves us with the feeling that there's been a lot of fuss for nothing. He avoids sug­ gesting that a good deal of thinking and doing have occurred during theinterval. <But that might remind themelancholy Jacques that brooding on life was not all there was to liv­ing, and that work and play inproper proportions have a way ofousting the too sombre mood. But there is a melancholy thataffects all thinking people. It is a mood that fastens on them at timeswhen they think of the misery manneedlessly inflicts on man, of the sorrows his ineptitudes have broughtto great masses of people, of the waste of life and the talents inher­ ent in all life in two global wars,of the mad rush for gain and powerand the ignoring of real worth.This sort of melancholy one sensesin the writings of great thinkers.It’s- a garment woven out of the suf­ fering caused by the idiocy in man,who uses his brilliancies to promotedestruction, rather than turning all his energies to furthering emanci­pation and light. Such men don’tchoose to wear the dark and cum­ bersome garments bf melancholy;they were not born the II Penserosoof Milton’s immortal, but, being thoughtful men. unable to shrug offthe world’s ineptitudes and vastfollies, a gloom of mind takes pos­session of them and throws its cloud over the brighter garmentsthat is naturally theirs. They don’t like the gloom; they don’t wear thegarment from choice but because,being honest and realists, they recognize that the rosy garment theywore in youth isn’t very suitablefor anyone mourning the world'sloss of two generations of men andagonizing over the muddied think­ing of clashing and selfish person­alities that can produce still another catastrophe. Contempt of worldopinion that hates war, failure ofthe democratic ideal that could prevent war, how can he see theseand the inevitable road to whichthey lead, and not brood? But themelancholy of the thoughtful must be cast off. It is fatal to wear it He mustrfight to tear it off the tighter it clings, and to tear away, too, the fateful acceptance of things as they are, of the hopelessness of their being altered. They can be; they must be, if we are to survive and continue to wear our melan­ choly only as and when we like it NEW W. A.

SUPPLEMENT THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE INGERSOLL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY,V e BRU ARY 17th, 1949 First Settlers in Ingersoll Carried Grain Miles to Mill ZENDA ON THE ALLEYS By H.T.B. On the assumption of the gov­ernment by the first governor, Gen­eral Simcoe, after the partition ofthe provinces in 1791, ho'issued an invitation to American settlers tocome and establish themselves inUpper Canada. There were at thattime scattered along the waterfront from Niagara to Detroit,about 10,000 souls, but the settlerswere well aware of the fertility ofthe land, the kind of climate, the nature of settlement and the possi­bilities of this new Upper Canada,a Canada west of that day.The modern traveller, whilespeeding past smiling fields of waving grain in his car or in thetrain at fifty to sixty miles per hour, frequently asks, “How did our forefathers reach their homesin this vast stretch of woods? By what means did they transporttheir families and goods over hun­dreds of miles without either farmroads or bridges? It is to be re­gretted that the history of thosetimes has not been more carefullypreserved. Sufficient, however, hasbeen handed down to give us a faint idea of the sufferings andprivations endured by the pioneersettlers.Many of those who, being stronglyattached to the British Government, adhered to that standard at thecommencement of and during theAmerican Revolution, having learn­ed that Canada offered them anasylum from the bitterness of war­fare and of evil strife, sold orabandoned their possessions in the United States and bent their coursethither. Placing as many as theypossibly could of the more feeble old men and women upon horse­back, and having arranged largebaskets or panniers in pairs, eachcontaining a child, so that one hungon each side of the horse, while thestouter members of the party walkedbeside, or drove what cattle theycould bring with them, companiesof these loyal fugitives from thedifferent States, started enroute for Canada. How many a longinglook went back to the dear oldhomestead, seen now for the last time, or how many a sigh welled upfrom hearts of the wanderers, asthey remembered that they were leaving forever the scenes of theirhappy childhood, who can tell?Human joys and sorrows are thesame in all ages.The distance travelled in a daydepended greatly upon the situa­tion of the country through whichthey were obliged to pass. At times a temporary shelter was erected forcomfort or safety during the night, or upon stormy days; but morefrequently the blue vault of heavenwas their only roof—the damp cold ground their only bed. Generallyseveral families accompanied each Very often several weeks werespent travelling in this manner be­fore the party reached their destin­ation—rivers had to he crossed onrafts or forded, swamps to be wal­lowed through or a detour madearound them, and miles upon milesof almost trackless forest to bepenetrated ere they reached their new home.Thus came to our community Mr.Ingersoll and the first settlers. Tra­dition says these pioneers had tolive on fish, roots and wild game, and when they had, without ordin­ary implements elf agriculture,cleared a small patch of ground,and raised some Indian corn, po­tatoes, or a little wheat sown on anewly burnt fallow among thestumps and harrowed with woodenteeth, many of them had to carry the grain miles to have it groundinto flour. other, and erected their campsclosely together, for mutual pro­tection, in case of an attack by wild beasts, or by Indians, many ofwhom were far from friendly,their united camp fires not only promoting their safety at night,but helping in a measure to enliventhe vast solitude of the forest. ’Underwood;’ The bill of fare of the immi- Alan 7***-grants would not present a very Georgetempting, appearance to an epicure, ’ Lewis,bbuutt tthheerree wweerree ffeeww ddyvswpeenpttiiccss iinn I those primitive times.

' As these journeys wereusually undertaken in the warmerseason, the cattle and other dom­estic animals had plenty of food,and g£me was easily procured forthe consumption of the family. Frequently when there were sev­ eral cows - in the drove there wasmore milk than the travellers need­ed for present use, accordingly small churns were made or procured,into which* the surplus milk was strained;* these, like the panniers,were balanced ’ across the horse inthe morning, and the motion of the b< art during the day agitated thvmilk so that when they stopped atnight the .milk was found to be-burned, and they had a supply ofbutter for the evening meal.

There is unlimited opportunity for promotion—if you have what it takes. You can become a paratrooper and enjoy the thrill and excitement of the newest Branch of the Canadian Army. This is your opportunity to join men who are starting a career with a future—if you meet these require­ ments:—good physical condition ... 17 to 25 years of age... veterans with airborne experience will be taken up to 30 . . . pass the Army’s entry requirements. There is extra pay for parachute service. In a radio broadcast Thursday, Mrs. P. M. Dewait, president of the Women’s Auxiliary to the Alexan­ dra Hospital Trust, said: “We men- tionedsjn our broadcast two weeks ago eight organizations had fledg­ ed $4,650. Since then that fund has more than doubled itself. Ad­ ditional pledges of $500 have been received from Avalon Chapter of the O.E.S., Keystone Rebekah Lodge, Kiwanis Club, Lady DufTerin Chapter of the I.O.D.E., St. James* Anglican Church, Baptist Church Women’s Association. The Inger­ soll Collegiate students have pledg­ ed at least $200, and the Women’s Association of Trinity United Church have pledged $1,000, half to be paid this year and the remain­ ing $500 next year. “We have had letters from sev­ eral organizations, notifying us they are building up a fund. These include: Women’s Institutes of West Oxford, Mount Elgin, Ver- schoyle, and Thamesford; Admiral McDougall Chapter of the I.O.D.E.; Companions of the Forest, Princess Louise Circle; Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Canadian Legion. To all,’’ said Mrs. Dewan, “we say a warm ‘thank you’, and we extend best wishes in their efforts on our behalf.’’ Mrs. Dewan said a committee! convened by -Mrs. F. G. Rich has completed an inventory of the hos­ pital furnishings, finding that a surprisingly small amount will be usable in the new hospital. There are about 20 new and good gatch beds, which, when refinished, will be suitable for use. There will be probably enough for all the four- bed wards, she said. “That,” she , added, “will reduce the cost of fur- 1 nishing these rooms to a sum that might look inviting to more ambi­ tious groups.’’ i Plans have been submitted to i three firms which specialize in hos- ■ pital furnishing and equipment, each of which- intends to send a , representative to Ingersoll to ad­ vise on the new furnishings, toge­ ther with estimates. Each women’s organization which has pledged itself to furnish a room is being asked to send a represent­ ative to the Auxiliary’s advisory committee, and in that way it will be kept informed about the pro­ gress being made. Mr. Dewan announced that a committee convened by Mrs. Fred Adams has been appointed to com­ pile a history of the present hospi­ tal. A remembrance book is to be completed within a year. She asked her listeners to send information they might have of more than gen­ eral interest about the hospital, its staff and its patient* to the com­ mittee. The Auxiliary, Mrs. Dewan said, has appointed an advisory commit­ tee to the executive, as follows: Mrs. W. R. Veale, Mrs. John Nance- kivell, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Carl Mohr and Mrs. James Baxter. Conveners of the committees for the year are as follows: Ways and means, Mrs. Percy L. ■Smith and Mrs. Fred Rich; member­ ship, Mrs. Alex. Yule; library, Mrs. Frank Manning; historian, Mrs. Fred Adams; telephone, Mrs. N. J. Daniel; decoration, Mrs. Robert Wark; entertainment of nurses, Mrs. J. B.

Your right to keep your private affairs private is a cherished principle of Canadian banking. Mrs. P. M. Dewan, diocesan past president, addressed the St Mich­ ael's Catholic Women’s League in the parish hall, London, last week. “There can be no growth unless we have leaders, and leaders must have the power to direct and guide the thoughts and feelings of others,” Mid Mrs. Dewan. “It is Imperative that every Catholic woman be a member and rally to the cause which the present world crisis de­ mands. By our indifference we ae- quiesce with Communism.” N e x t time you are in your bank, notice how many people keep their cheques face down . . . just like you . . . while they make out their deposit slips. Notice how they close their passbooks before handing them in— and get them back closed too. Canadian bank service is recognized by everyone as confidential. Every employee, when he came into the service of your bank, took a solemn declaration of secrecy. Your relationship with your bank is the most vitally confidential business relation­ ship you have. Contrast this Canadian way with conditions in lands where freedom is denied—where every bank is a political tool, every banker a public official working for the State! State monopoly of banking, proposed by socialists hero, would open your banking transactions to political intrusion.

He said he hoped that next fall children would fill in such a ques- tionaire as part of their entrance documentation, so that by Oct. 1 “there would be no child who was not situated in, or invited to par­ ticipate in some extra-curricular activity of his own choice.” While extremely pleased with the results of the probe, Mr. Gosse said he felt the information concerning Sunday School attendance perhaps the most interesting feature. “The number of children going to Sunday School is something of which we can all be very proud,” he declared.

YOURS TO ENJOY-YOURS TO PROTECT CA R LING’S THE CARLINO BREWERIES LIMITED THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FgB. 17, 1949Consider Trees as a Crop Cut When Mature, or Ripe The Regular Subscriber Zone Forester Although there are many wood­lots in this part of Ontario, theyare not always an ideal example.1 Many are second growth stands, consisting of trees of the same age;in other words, even-aged stands. Other woodiota are in very poorcondition due to the presence ofmany over-mature trees which are preventing the growth of more va­luable specimens. A woodlot com­ posed of over-mature trees is simi­lar to a team of horses too old towork. Neither is of much use to thefarmer and both are taking spaceand food thatv could be used byyounger or more valuable trees oranimals. Yes, trees need food, andthis is derived from the soil. If this >food is monopolized by weed treesor over-mature, rotten trees of lowvalue, then younger trees suffer, asthey need large quantities of food to permit fast growth.These types of woodlots are far from ideal, but with time and pro­per management they can be trans­ formed into ideal woodiota.What is an ideal woodlot? It is simply a woodlot in which arefound trees of all sizes and ages;in other words, an uneven-agedstand. You may ask why this typeis considered ideal. It is because it will produce a continuous supplyof products for many years to come. , , ,,In an uneven-aged stand, there will be trees mature and ready forcutting as sawlogs, *nd therewillbe immature trees of all differentsizes. If the mature trees are cut out, room is left for the smallerones. They can get the light andfood that they need to grow andmature. As they in turn matureand are cut, a younger crop is giv­en a chance..Trees must be considered as acrop, to be cut when mature orripe. No wise farmer leaves hisripe grain uncut, or ripe apples un­picked, but many leave maturetrees uncut. In fact, some farmerstake pride in the fact they cutnothing from their woodlota exceptthe trees which die and fall over. This is definitely not wise manage­ment One might as well raise sheep, hogs or cattle for marketand refuse to sell them until they die of old age. To get the mostfrom a woodlot, trees should be1 cut when mature and when themarket offers a good, fair price.The next article will deal withthe protection of a woodlot fromvarious injurious factors whichharm it. may MOSSLEY .

L. Jennings, rector of StPaul's Anglican Church, Brantford, will be guest speaker at the regularmeeting of the Kiwania Club to­nightHe will speak on his' experiencesin the Great Bear Lake and Mac­ kenzie River area.Last week the Kiwanians had something different—two films.Both sound and in technicolor, theywere “A New (Map of Canada" and“Bermuda Holiday." The showingwas in charge of S. L. Blowes, dis­trict traffic and sales manager for T.C.A. at London, and D. P. Har­greaves, station manager, Crumlin. Jack Hunsberger ran the projector.Both Blowes and Hargreaves wereintroduced by Jack Herbert, and Mr. Herbert recalled Blowes as afellow student, and Hargreaves as a former pupil of Ingersoll Collegi­ate. He recalled that Hargreaves hadleft the Collegiate around 1938,joined the army, and had now beenwith T.C.A. for about five years.Mr. Blowes pooh-poohed the ideathat flying was dangerous. “Con­sidering the number of miles flownand the number of aircraft in the air these days, travel by air is assafe as by any other means,” hesaid. “And in many instances it ischeaper."The Kiwanians, with a minute of silencenpaid tribute to the late Har­old G. Hall, whose funeral was last Friday. “We have lost a sterlingcitizen and comrade," said WalterThurtell, president. “For manyyears, Harold was a sparkplug inthe work of the Kiwanis. He woulddo anything he was asked, and much more."The club also wished Wilbur Watson, who has left his formeremployment rather than leave In­gersoll, the best of luck in what­ever he might do in the future.
