For all those bene­ fiting from the new sewage disposal system — and that is about 75-80 per cent of all taxpayers — the 1949 tax rate is 55 mills. This is lower than the 1948 general tax rate of 59tf0 mills, but the assessment has been raised from $3,229,701.00 to $4,160,819.00, which accounts for the tax boost.“If we hadn’t raised the assessment,” explained Councillor TomMorrison, “this year’s tax rate would have been 69 mills — just 10 higher than last year. This year, you see, the Town has to collect$235,250.71, compared with about $204,000.00 last year.” Basic Rate 43%o Mills Council struck a basic rate of 43H» mills on all rateable property not bene-fitting from the sewage plan. For sewer rentals, the rate is an .pxtra 9^iu mills,and for operation and maintenance of the new sewage disposal plant therate is a further 2* in mills, for a total of 55 mills.Last year, the general tax rate was50 milk, with an additional 9ho, mills for the sewer system. During the meeting it was pointed out that payment of the hospitaldebentures begins this year, also that an estimated amount of $6,500 has beenallotted for the operation of the sewagedisposal plantThe by-law for the raising andcollecting of taxes to cover various expenditures of the town was passed,with resolutions moved and second by Councillors T. J. Morrison and L. V. Healy. "After a great amount of deliberation,this is the story." remarked CouncillorMorrison, commending the economy of every committee chairman, and laudingthe Town Clerk, R. E. Winlaw. “for the great amount of work put on this.He said the town’s auditors commended Council on its last year’s budgeting.The Clerk, he said further, “has beenvery, very diligent." Could Have Been 69 Of the mill rate of 55 mills, Council­ lor Morrison said under the old assess­ment the mill rate would have been 69 and some odd tenth mills. CouncillorMorison listed increased costs from the sewerage .system, the hospital, andthe primary schools, but in no otherinstance is there any marked change, he said.“This is the major business of the year.” Councillor Morrison remarked.Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray presided,with all members present.Estimates were received from thePublic Library Board, the Public Schools, and the Ingersoll DistrictCollegiate Institute for 1949 expenses. A. J.

Riley and Allan Horton of Inger soli. tMr. Riley heads the committee responsible for raising the Inger- soll-and-area quota of $1,800. _ Allan Ambrose, of- the national council of the Red Cross, said it was in the best interests that the various communities within Oxford County, including Ingersoll, sur­ render their Red Cross charters, to all come under one Oxford Count} unit “You have a much more effic­ ient organization if*you don't have too many smaller entities,” he said.

Tribune Trophy Announced For “Most Valuable Player” Month’s Egg Supply His Gift to Hospital Fox Chooses “Gentlest Man”- Makes Slight Error, is Shot The Dereham Hunt Club, 38 strong, met at Dereham Centre on Saturday morning and started for the northwest corner of the county in two trucks , driven by Arden Fewster and Harry Gamham. Reeve Harry Little and Harold But­ ler acted as guides, and five cap­tains selected for the hunt were: Len Hewer, Bernice McAllister, George Butler, Earl Hewer and Bill Goodhand. In the first two blocks driven, only one fox was seen, and it was shot by “Dead-eye Dick”, Bus Prouse. This fox came direcfly to him, to about 60 yards, sat down on its tail and looked around to give ‘Bus time to see that his gun was loaded, cocked and ready, and after looking around, -thought he was the most gentle looking man in the crowd, then sauntered past, while Bus was waiting on a low straw stack, and that was the last of that fox, which makes four to this lucky hunter this season. In the third Block, no foxes were seen and very few rabbits; in fact very few rabbits were shot in any of the Blocks driven, as meet hun­ ters preferred to let them run. Tn the fourth Block, only one fox was sighted, and it was hit by Harry Fairs, the oldest hunter in the crowd and finished by Ross Al­ bright, youngest hunter, by one well-placed shot As we came out through thia particular fanner’s yard he thanked us for helping rid the territory of foxes, as he had lost 75 chickens (Continued on page 8) Place Ablaze Nearby Bat Still Sleeps On James Alien’s barn was almost burned to the ground the other day before he knew about it though his Church St home was only 30 feet or so away from it Someone unknown to Allen or the fire department phoned in the alarm that the build­ ing on Duke Lane used as a workshop and for storage, was ablaze. Mr. Allen was asleep at the time and fire­ men, under Chief Dick Ellis, were hard at work at the scene some time before Mr.^Uen awakened to find his place aflame. Mr. Allen, a carpenter, had many valuable tools he brought from England ia the barn and firemen had to deter him from going into the flames to rescue them. The fire, blamed on defective wir­ ing, scorched Jack Barker's house next door.. Mr. Allen, who will be 88 :in April, and who has been working for 80 years, told theTribune “Everything is a to­ tal loss.” ‘AEoss is' over $2t- -000,” he said. “I’ve lost tools I ’ve had for 75 years. There is even a hammer given to meby my dad when *1 was 12 years old.” C. W. RILEY Leads Ingersoll’s Rad Cross drive starting Monday, Feb. 28.

A new trophy to be awardee, an­ nually to the player adjudged mostvaluable to his team in the South Oxford rural hockey league, was announced by Ross Fewster, pre­ sident of the league today. It is to he known as The Tribune Trophy? “We are very happy to receive this trophy from The IngersoB Tribune,” said Mr. Fewster,” and it should be a great incentive to even more and more young men to get into this fine game. It will also encourage a better and cl era er brand of hockey, because the tro­ phy will be .awarded not only for ability but for all-round sportsman­ ship.” •Mr. Fewster said the managers of all teams playing in the league this year have been asked to nom­ inate their first and second choices for the award, but their nominee can’t be of their own team. A first place will count two points, sec­ ond, one. The winner will have his name inscribed on The Tribune Trophy and will be presented with a replica to keep. Playoffs tn the league began Monday.

One Ingersoll man has vir­ tually made his contribution to the new Alexandra hospital in eggs. Jack Hutson, of the Morrow Screw and Nut Co., at pres­ ent supplies the hospital with eggs. Instead of donating a day’s pay, he has tajien the hospital’s cheque for one month’s supply of eggs, and reindorsed it back to the hos­ pital building fund.Needless to say, Mr. Hut­ son’s gift far exceeds ■ one day’s pay. The white “T” will be replaced on the cap by a white Maple Leaf with an inscribed blue “T”, and three white stripes will appear on the solid blue stockings. Ingersoll Couple Featured On Famed Radio Program William Eden Honored for SO Years' Service An Ingersoll couple who went to California to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary are back home now, with a particularly big thrill to report The couple, Mr., and Mrs. R. J. Kerr, Thames St N„ appeared on the famous radio program, “Break­ fast in Hollywood,” broadcast from “Tom Brenneman’s” (a restaurant) all over America. “Nervous? Not a bit,” reported Mr. Kerr. “We weren’t up there long enough.” Mr. Kerr said that as they enter­ ed the restaurant for breakfast, they had to fill out a card stating their age, where from and why they were there, “plus a few other questions.” Then the forms are picked up and the master of cere­ monies looks them over, and picks out a few to feature on the broad- He said It was the first ___ phone appearance for both of them, “and quite likely the last.” “But you’ve got to hand it to the Americans,” enthused Mr. Kerr. “They’ve got the Canadians trim­ med a mile for friendliness and wanting to help you and make you feel at home. And they treat us Canadians marvellously. “Still,” be added, “there’s place like home.” micro- no will William Eden, toolmaker at Mar­row Screw sml Nut Co., washonored Monday night on completionof 50 years with the firm.

It is not a movement that prepares them forwar, but rather it Is one that gives them a verygood training for citizenship in a world of peace.It trains them to be self-reliant, to be honorable,to be kind, to include religion in their daily life, and to become good companions in work and play.We commend the men and women of the town and .district who are giving their time and ability to the carrying on of the Scout and Guide Move­ ment. They and their fellow workers around the world are making an important contribution to the breaking down of the many barriers that make for strife among nations. If boys and girls |n all the nations can be taught the Scout way of Jiving, we need not have Tiny worry about the misuse of atomic energy for bombs, nor for fu­ ture world wars. The Scout way is a way of brotherhood and peace. To the boys and girls, we would like to ex- ■ press on behalf of the citizens of the town and district good wishes for their continued success and enjoyment in the earning of badges, the doing of daily good turns, and the fine fellow­ ship around the campfires.

Ingersoll's Quota Is $1,500 AT Red Cross Campaign Begins Human suffering takes many forms. It may strike as illness and pain, as misfortune and nat­ ural catastrophe, as bewilderment and hopeless­ ness against overwhelming odds. To alleviate these sufferings, to prevent dis­ ease and to promote the health and welfare of the people of Canada—that is the task of the Canadi­ an Red Cross Society, the task of its workers and its members—ever-renewed, ever-necessary. As a good neighbor, as a responsible human be­ ing, each one of us wants to aid distress wherever we may find it and to prevent, if possible, its oc­ currence. In the complexities of the modern world, one man’s hand is not enough. Only the co-operative effort of a great society, geared to work efficiently, quickly and humanely, can hope to stem the flood of misfortune, of accident and emergencies that can overtake any one of us. Only a great society,, international in scope, can bring hope to millions of our fellowmen in other portions of the war-scarred globe. The highest of human ideals—concern with the welfare of others—is the motivating force of Red Cross. 'To translate this ideal into action, Red Cross and its thousands of volunteer workers need the help of every person in Canada. By contributing your share in the 1949 March ap­ peal, which opens next Monday, you become an active partner in one of the greatest humanitar­ ian forces working for good in the world today. The national aim is $5,000,000; Ingersoll’s quo­ ta is $1,500. We should oversubscribe that in no time. It Is a Tragic Thing, But It is Really All Our Fault Amidst the feelings of shock and sympathy, which one experiences following a tragedy such as occurred in Woodstock last week when three little children were burned to death, there comes a thought that in this year of 1949, when we like to pat ourselves on the back as living in a civil­ ization that outranks all others in progress and comforts, that such thinges should not be. People, we say to ourselves, should have the right to live in comfortable homes, with at least the requisites for maintaining a home. If we could spend all the money that was ex­ pended on the recent war, together with the money that went into the war before it, on help­ ing everyone to have a real home, it would seem that the result would be the making of a much happier world. Our own nation and all the na­ tions of the world, must tackle the problem of a just distribution of the natural resources and the products of industry.. We want free enter­ prise—not Communism. But in our free enter­ prise we want the opportunity for young couples to bring up their children in homes that are safe and warm. If we had directed all the money spent on wars since the beginning of the century into central national funds to provide loans for people beginning homes - - or outright gifts - - we could have all but banished hunger and want. The welfare of each one of us should be the interest and responsibility of all. For a moment, our sympathy is strangely stirr­ ed by the loss of three little ones jn a fire. We murmur that stich things should not be, and then in a day or so we have forgotten our noble thoughts. If we did a little more thinking about it, we would quite likely come to the conclusibn- that what this world needs, our country, and our own community as -well, is a litt] emore practical own community as well, is a little more practical good times seldom is manifested in deeds. Each of us could do a lot towards helping our fellow citizens when the going is hard. And most of all we could help to do our part to make life'sweeter and safer for their children. Let us picture our­ selves in the place of the parents who grieve for three little tots lost last week in the Wood- stock fire. Support The Guides, Scouts Training For World of Peace This week our country pays tribute to the Scout and Guide Movement All across Canada, events are being presented, beginning with the Church services last Sunday, to bring to the attention of the citizens the benefits which accrue to boyhood and girlhood from the Scout and Guide groups. It is not week in which an effort is made to the public for funds. The only appeal that might be said to be contained in the national observance of Scouting and Guiding is for a greater interest on the part of the citizens. In Ingersoll and the district, the Scouting and Guiding groups are well organized. They are well established in the community life. The groups have interested sponsors, and they also have capable leaders. The week also honors the birthday anniversary of the founder, the late Lord Baden-Powell. Few •men in history have earned such honor as has been paid to him. Honor has come to him, as to other men, from sovereigns and heads of nations, but the greatest honor he received in his lifetime and now to Ins memory, is the tribute paid to him by boys and girls around the world. A man who instituted a movement - - and that in his middle life - - which caught the enthusiasm of youth and has grown and grown will rank always as one of the greatest men in history. Every boy and girl should have the privilege Notes on the Editor's Pad.. We don’t know how he does elsewhere, but George Hayes certainly takes a beating from Toronto fans when he’s in on “hockey night in Canada.” Where an offside is concerned, George has the eyes of a beagle, and even if it’s only a matter of inches, he never falters in his duty as he sees it While all this may keep George’s con­ science clear, it has the unhappy result of slow­ ing Canada’s, fastest game down to something like a chess match in slow motion. One tweet from George brings approximately 14,500 echoes from Toronto’s gardens, with a few choice bits of English thrown in. Still, the situation hasn’t quite reached the stage of murder and we ex­ pect George will be tweeting his whistle at plenty of games to come. We know a Toronto man who is wondering these days if playing the good Samaritan is Worth the effort. The other day an Ingersoll wo­ man, complete with two young children, a dog and a back-seat full of luggage, skidded across the highway and piled into the ditch, barely miss­ ing two trees and coming to a stop in a pile of brush at an awkward and alarming angle. The good Samaritan, witnessing the incident, slammed to a stop, jumped out and prepared to help. Just as the woman was saying “we’re all right, thank you—just shaken,” there was a terrific crash be­ hind. A huge truck had jackknifed into the good Samaritan's car, tearing off the side. As we said, he’s wondering. What Others S a y: . Let ’er Roll If as is now hinted, research physicians ofthe Johns Hopkins Hospital (Medical Society have actually come upon a preventive and a cure forseasickness, they will have made an extraordinarycontribution to travel by sea. If people could set out on an ocean voyage * confident that therewould be no seasickness terrors for them, no mat­ter what the weather might be, pursers would not know where to put their would-be passengers.It is disclosed at Baltimore that two laboratorydoctors, Leslie H. Gay and Paul Carliner. havemade just such a discovery—the drug dramamine.Not only is it efficacious for seasickness, but forall other forms of travel sickness—by train, car, or plane. Results are based on a series of exper­iments conducted aboard a U.S. army transport;the weather was “extremely rough” and the “gui­ nea pigs” were healthy, hardened soldiers. Thedrug was about 98 per cent effective. In no case were there painful or inconvenient consequences.Anyone who has suffered the ghastly tormentsof seasickness can imagine the relief such a drug would bring. They will hope the findings of thesedoctors will be substantiated by use with civilians.During the war the Canadian Navy carried out experimental work and produced the much-publi­cized “pink pill.” By the way, what happened tothat pill? We seem to be in an age of scientificsecrecy. This, however, is not a weapon of na­tional defense, though it may truly be a weaponfor individual survival in an Atlantic gale. If itworks, it must be distributed.—London FreePress.

England in 1904 and has been, for the greater .part of his adult life, a British subject It is worthrecalling that it was in Britain he found the warm­ est sympathy for his Zionist crusade and from aBritish government he secured the pledge of a’ Jewish national home in Palestine. He says, in his newly published autobiography, that the Brit-' ish teaders fo the First World War period (LordBalfour and others) understood the spiritual meaning and value of "the return," the re-estab-- lishment of a Jewish community in the Holy Landafter many centuries of dispersal. A later gen­e-ration of British ministers, according to Dr.Werxmann, has proved less perceptive. However, that may be, it was certainly British encourage­ment' that gave modern Zionism its main impetus-The first president of Israel, no matter who he -might be, would be certain of lasting fame in his­tory, but Dr. Weizmann is certainly worthy of the honor. What influence he will have in Israelipolicy, as a man of 74 is still to be seen. He saysin his new book that Israel must not “trespass” onterritory outside the boundaries assigned to it bythe United Nations, and must treat its Jewish andnon-Jewish citizens alike. It is to be hoped that,holding these views, he will be president in morethan name.—Toronto Globe and Mail. -Should End This Nuisanqe Because supply ho usee couldn’t guaranteedelivery in time, the Manitoba government hashad to drop its plan for permanent motor vehicle license plates this year. It should make sure thereis no hitch for 1950.Why this sensible step has not been adoptedlong ago by all provinces and states on this con­tinent has never been explained. The present an tern may please those little bureaucrats wholike to see long Hues of citizens parade before them, but it certainly does not please anyone else.Securing new plates each season and attachingthem is an inconvenience and a decided waste oftime. Once registered, it should be no more dif­ficult for the authorities to make sure the annual tag on a motor car Is paid, than the annual levyon a piece of real estate. Important, too, is thefact that our present system of licensing is belov­ed by the car. thieves. It is one main reason whytheir job is so easy.—Financial Fest. Of the sixteen accepted frommilitary district No. 1 for Baden- Powell’s force, is James B. De­ Wolfe of Ingersoll.

Continued improvement in water conditions, coupled with unusually mild weather, now enables the Commission to meet normal demands during night hours and on weekends. In view of this, the lighting restrictions set out in regulations 4, 5 and 6 (under the heading “Part III Lighting”) of the Regulations made by the Commission under the Power Commission Act, are suspended each night from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., Monday to Friday inclusive, and from 7:00 p.m. Friday to 7:00 a.m. Monday. However, during the daytime from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday^ resources are still inadequate to meet power demands fully. The Commission therefore requests that the Regu­ lations be strictly observed during these hours and that voluntary conservation be continued. The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario and the. Muni­ cipal Systems wish to. express their sincere appreciation to all Hydro users who were affected by these Regulations.

W.Wurker and Morrison, Avalon Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star wasgranted permission to sell tickets on a doll dressed in $1 bills, the proceeds to go to the hospital. On resolutions by Councillors L. J.Ranger and F. H. Kerr, a by-law waspassed to provide for the 1949 ex­ penditures on the streets or roadsin the separated Town of Ingersoll. The sum of $15,000 was appropriated,duplicate copies of the by-law to be furnished to the district office of theHighways Department. Councillor Morrison explained that the Depart­ment returns one. mill on last year’s assessment. A by-law, with 31 clauses, was passed on resolutions by CouncillorsWurker and Ranger, regulating andgoverning the owners and drivers of autos and taxicabs regularly usedfor hire. The main reason for this by-law, Councillor Wurker said, is thesafety of the people of the municipality using the taxicabs. It was felt, too,he said, it would be a good feature if the police and the police committeehad some control over who is starting cabs, their drivers, the speed, and the noise, especially loud blowing ofhorns. The police committee did not feel it should lay down the rates, hesaid. Mr. Wurker said the by-laws of a number of municipalities wereperused in preparing the one for Ingersoll. ,Licensing will be under the police committee with the chief constable orhis assistants as supervisors of the I licensees. Drivers of the taxicabs will also be licensed except in the case ofowners. No School Buses The by-law provides that a taxicabshall be an automobile that carries not more than seven passengers. Schoolbuses do not come under the provisions of the by-law. Drive-yourself carsand taxicabs must be insured for specified amounts and drivers must have chauffeur’s permits as well asthe local license and be bonafide resi­ dents of the town.The police committee of Council can refuse, revoke or cancel any licenseat any time. The license fee for cars was set at $7.50 per car and for drivers$2 per person. Up to this time any person with an automobile could start in the taxibusiness without properly insured cars and with no official control.Mr. Wurker said it is the desire of the police committee to have the by­ law printed, so copies can be givenwith the licenses, also identification cards.S. O. Axelrod, Mayor Dr. Murray said, had asked permission to present a free show in the new Strand Theatreon Sunday afternoon. The request was not granted, advice being given by theTown Solicitor. W. R. Marshall. K.C., that it would be prohibited by pro­vincial statutes. Councillor Ranger said Ingersoll’staxes are not deterring building. A man has informed him that he proposesto build eight houses in the spring With a value of about $50,000. Amember of the Council remarked that increased building activity will helpto lower the tax rate. Mr. Ranger spoke about the con­dition of Victoria St. James Buchanan, the Inspector, said the contractorswere responsible only for the trench. Mr. Ranger stated that the Councilshould encourage early co-operation on the overcoming of traffic delays atthe railway crossings. Councillor Wurker promised to see that action is taken. Banger Commended Councillor Morrison commended Councillor Ranger for the work done on Charles St. East. “People thoughtwe wecg. lax,” Mr. Morrison said. “The responsibility was with the constructioncompany. We did the work and charged it to them."A delegation of the Ingersoll Rate­ payers' Association was present Nor­man Pembleton inquired if any pro­ gress has been made by- the industrial committee, the Mayor stating that notmuch has been done yet. The associa­ tion, said Mr. Mr. Pembleton, feels thata grant should be made to the com­ mittee for advertising purposes. “Ifwe are going to get any action, acommittee of that type should be known in other districts than ourown,” he told the Council. The S5 inspecting fee for lateralswas discussed by Mr. Pembleton, also , the payment of the lateral installations over a period of five years to thetown when the work is done by the contractors. He said when a ratepayerhires an individual to install the lateral the $5 is not returned, nor is the costfinanced by the town. Must Help Local Men He thought it would be fair to havethe town give the same privileges to local men as to the contractors. Localmen, he said, are charging about $1 a foot less than the contractors.Councillor Morrison, in an explana­ tion of the system, said the $5 is deducted from the installation costwhen the work is done by the con­ tractors. The Town, he said, pays thecontractor $2.35 a foot and charges $2.90, the difference covering the cost of pipe, publicity, and the prior con­tacting of the ratepayers. “We’re not financing thg contractor,"said Mr. Morrison. “We pay him cash, and the ratepayer pays the town.” He said 15 per cent is retained from thecontractors for a year as a guarantee of good workmanship, as well as abond. “Would the local men charge $150a foot if we held back 15 per cent and demanded a bond?” asked CouncillorWurker of Mr. Pembleton. Mr. Wurker said the Council felt that it was pro­ tecting the ratepayers from inferiorworkmanship, from un dergroun d hazards, and injury to workmen.

Long It’s an old saying that the more one has, the more he wants. Like most old saws it has the essence of truth in it. No one apparently has enough. It is a case of a generoussupply whetting the appetite for more, and not, as in the case of food, surfeiting it. If a man hasenough to eat, a place in which tolive Recently and work and leisure in their proper proportions, whatmore does he really need? Surely normal wants should be so satis­fied. And yet how many do feel adequately endowed with just enough? The spirit of acquisition is para­ mount in us. Perhaps it always hasbeen. Wars and strife of everykind right down the ages testify to this failing in us. Maybe it isonly the very few, the saints and some philosophers, perhaps, whohave ever felt satisfied with theminimum that fills legitimate needs. Today particularly we seem to lay undue stress on possessions. A manis measured by the things he owns, not by what he is. So he looksaround and sees his neighbour with a finer home and furnishings, amore luxurious car, a better dressed wife and family, and unrest attacks him. He mutt strive to acquirethese nr bettor things, otherwise he must submit to the feeling ofinferiority and cunseuuvnt unhap- pines*. Why, if be could be happy with what he has, should he think of what another possesses and be­come unhappy? Envy b a bitter corrosive humor. It hurts only theperson who feels it The object of his or her envy b not affected inthe least, is probably, quite unaware that hb possessions' torment the soul of another who lacks them.That one should wish to improveone’s position is natural and well enough, but there is somethinglacking in a philosophy that never permits a person to say he has enough. Contentment is a greatblessing and most , often it comes with little of the world’s goods. Ithas seldom come with much, for ac­ quisition has a gargantuan appetite and growth. Once the appetite isaroused it refuse, to be sated. It urges one forward in a reckless dis­content. It reaches its peak in theman of millions whose only happi­ ness, and a fleeting one at that, isthe accumulation of more millions.

This imfans to demonstrate, as a warning to yourself, just how slip­pery the road actually is. Find some traffic-free part of the road, and just try making a quick stop ora quick getaway. If it can’t be done easily, the resulting skidshould scare you just enough to make you drive safely for the restof the day. Safe winter driving b slow driving, slow starting, slowstopping, and ample distance be­tween your car and any other car, any pedestrian, or any place youmight have to stop.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 24,1949Neighbors, in Same Lodge Meet as Jewel Presented HARRIETSVILLE By H.T.B. A short time ago, a very interest­ing meeting took place in Torontoinvolving two former residents of Ingersoll. The two former citizenswere Mr. M. Burton Hugill, formerteacher at Mount Elgin, and Mr.Gun M. McKay, who will be remem­bered as operating the flour apdfeed business now run by theHawkins Feed Co. The occasion ofthis meeting was the presentationto Mr. Hugill by Mr. McKay of a Grand Lodge Masonic honor, a 50-year Masonic jewel.Usually an event of this kind ismade the occasion of a big night ora Masonic celebration, but as Mr.Hugill lived so far away and wasunable to hear, it would not have been convenient for him to visit hismother lodge, old King Hiram Lodge, No. 37, in Ingersoll. So one*of the oldest past masters of the lodge. Mr. McKay, was selected tomake the presentation. Mr. Mc­ Kay lived on London Ave., Toron­to, and Mr. Hugill a few blocksaway, at Highview Crescent. It sohappened these two men, both for­mer residents of this town, both having lived near each other in To­ronto for many years, both being members of the same lodge, had tohave an occasion like this to bringthem together and make them ac­quainted with each other. Judgingfrom their letters to their motherlodge, this visit is not likely to bethe last. This Grand Lodge honor, the vet­eran gold medal, has only been pre- ;sented to one other member of this i 'old lodge, the late Hartwell D. Me- 1 Carty, who became a Mason in1887 and passed to the SupremeGrand Lodge in March, 1948, hav­ing spent a long life of service to his community and 61 years a con­tinuous member in good standing of King Hiram Lodge, No. 37.If similar presentations for 1947-1948 are an indication of the num­ ber of men who retain membershipfor 50 years, then only a little over one-tenth of one percent, of allMasons in Ontario will attain this honor.

He possessed a widespreadinfluence as a leader of the Reformparty and occupied a conspicuousposition in the insurrection withwhich William Lyon McKenzie wasconnected in the troubled days of1837.This doctor had great skill in hisprofession and had a large practice in the vicinity of Burford andBishopgate. He also travelled regu­larly with his horse and saddle bags from Burford through Woodstock,Oxford, London, St. Thomas, Dere- Jmm, Forge, Norwich and back toBurford. In 1834 he was electedmember for Oxford in the Legisla­ture and again in 1836 and hadDeen sent as a delegate to Englandby the Reform party in connection p*ith certain alleged abuses.Dr. Chas. Duncombe was anAmerican, born in 1794 in the |Btate of Connecticut He came toCanade in 1820 and purchased afarm in Westminster, near the present city of London where he re­sided for three years. He thenpioved to the Talbot settlement in the vicinity of St Thomas, wherehe lived for seven years. By thistime having become quite familiar frith this part of Upper Canada hepurchased a site in 1830 near Bur­ford and settled down to his prac­ tice- Mr, Duncombe was a man of average height, well built and mus-teular, with a pleasant face, anactive mind and great resolution.He was an interesting speaker andpossessed a pleasant manner thatwon him many friends. He gave hisbest service to all without regard to the patients’ ability to pay andit is doubtful if there was at thattime a more popular or well be­loved man in the whole Burford-St. Thomas circuit thao he, andthese friendships were soon to payhim back real dividends. In the troublous days of 1837 ashas been stated, the doctor was amember of the Provincial Legisla­ture and a prominent figure in Ox­ ford and Brant. When word came that Toronto was in the possessionof the men under McKenzie, Dun­combe was asked to raise a corpsJo advance to the assistance of thecause, but he declined to do so. Notwithstanding his refusal, u largeDumber of men collected at the vil­lage of Scotland, seven miles from Burford. The doctor had been at Norwich and there learned from home of his friends that Col. Sir 'Allan MacNab was advancing with a large force, so that he felt more I justified than ever in pointing outthat whatever justice there was in 1 the cause they supported, to oppose i overwhelming forces would be mad­ness. He therefore, advised thepeople to return to their homes. $800 Put On Hit Head However, his views were ___known to be antagonistic to the(government and a price of $800 iwas offered for his capture andNacNab's men were out to get it.The doctor well knew the penaltyn captured rebel must pay and withthe help of his faithful horse andhis friends he sought safety in Iflight.He saddled his horse and pro­ well It pays to buy at Wilson’s Hardware ceded to take a short cut to Nor­wich. It was winter and in crossing a pond, he broke through the icebut after a ducking and a strugglehe succeeded in saving both himselfand the horse., ‘Wet and exhausted,he fouifd refuge in the farm houseof a friend near Norwich, where hisclothes were dried and a comfort­able meal provided. His appetitehad scarcely been satisfied, when word came that his escape wasknown and the farm houses werebeing searched by the soldiers. The house in which he had been shownhospitality was not large and thehiding places were’ consequentlyfew. The barn, in which the win­ ter supply of hay was stored wastoo conspicuous a place for conceal­ment, so with the ingenuity of hersex, the good wife of" the housequickly suggested that the doctor sleep in the old-fashioned four-postbed, so popular in the days of ourgreat-grandmothers, with it£ hugefeather mattress and its tent-likecovering, both favorable for the purpose.The rap, rap, rap came to thedoor and quickly the farmer friendwas out of his bed, the house andthe barn. were searched, a tallow dip aiding in the exploration be­neath the bed. Decency forbade theturning of the good wife out of herrest, and so the doctor was unmo­lested.The doctor was up early nextmorning and reached anotherfriend's place between Norwich andOxford (Ingersoll), where again hewas hidden for 24 hours. This time he was not comfortably esconsedin bed. but had to sit in a cellar un­der the farm house. Here he had the pleasure of hearing anotherparty of men expressing their eag­ erness to capture him and he wasafraid that even the ticking of hiswatch would reveal his hiding place.Knowing that the searching partyhad investigated the barn, the doc­tor, in the dusk of evening, slipped put of the cellar and into the barn afew minutes before the cellar was searched. After his pursuers had left thisplace, his farmer friend dressed himin the garb of a Quaker, there be­ing many of that faith in the vicin­ity of Norwich, and gave him a horse to carry him to Oxford, nowthe Town of Ingersoll. He was buta few miles on the road when he met another search party, who, notrecognizing him in his Quaker dress, told him they were after DocDuncombe and the $800 that wasoffered for his apprehension. Thedoctor followed the main road(now No. 19 Highway) into Oxfordand stopped at Putnam’s inn. He was here only a short while when aparty of Indians arrived at the inn,wanting to know if anyone hadseen the medicine man, Doc Dun­combe. They were going to get him. dead or alive, and earn the $800offered - by the government. Theydid not recognize the old Quakerand Mr. Putnam passed him alongthe Hamilton road to the home of a Mr. Douglas, near Nilestown, and 'from there to the home of his sister ’in London. IThe doctor’s friends in London '<rot him passage with a friend, Mr. ’ Tilden, who was travelling to Wind- *sor with his wife anil child. Dr. 1 Duncombe had to discard his side- 'burns and dressing up as an old la- 1 dy, he travelled to Windsor as Aunt 1 Nancy in the Tilden family, and onarriving at Windsor crossed on the 1 ice to Detroit. ' Thus in 1837 did Dr. Duncombe ‘escape the fate of so many other ' followers of McKenzie, who were 1 hanged in London gaol and other 1 places. Dr. Duncombe establishedn practice in Lockport. N.Y., and Jlater in California. He was paid- *oned in 1843 and in 1866 paid a *visit to Osford County. He left a 1 200-acre farm to Tilden’s son as a I Jtoken of his gratitude.

Welsh Writes T.V.A.Don't Let Stock in WoodlandThey Eat Young Seedlings Following is the letter from Col. Arthur Welsh, provincial ministerof planning and development, offi­ cially giving the okay to Ingersoll's$600,000 Thames straightening project, together with the commentof Dr. J. Cameron Wilson, chair­man of the Thames Valley Author­ity:“Mr. Watson H. Porter,Secretary-Treasurer, Upper Thames iRiver ConservationAuthority.“Dear Mr. Porter: “Reference is made to your let­ter of December 20, 1948, in whichyou ask for a grant from this gov­ ernment 1 for the proposed floodcontrol project at Ingersoll, estim­ ated at $600,000.00. I am author­ized to inform you that this govern­ment is prepared to pay 371* percent of the cost of this project, andalso guarantees 3714 per cent,which we consider is the Dominiongovernment’s share, and whichamount will be requested from thatgovernment through the Depart­ment of Public -Works of this gov­ernment. However, let me assureyou that if this work is carried outthe amount which will have to bepaid by the municipalities whichbenefit will not be more than 25 per cent, of .the cost“May I also point out that beforean assurance of a grant can be given by this^ Government we must havea statement from the Authority showing the amounts which will beassessed to each benefiting muni­ cipality to make up the 25 percent which is the Authority’s share."‘Together with your letter ofDececmber 20 you enclosed resolu­tions from the benefiting municipal­ ities with regard to the above,therefore this condition has beencomplied with and it is now in or­der for the Authority to proceedwith the work.“In due time an Order-in-Councilwill be prepared which will providefor the payment of funds from theProvincial Treasury for this work,and I would suggest that before any bills are presented that you corres­pond with Mr. A. H. Richardson,the Chief Conservation Engineerof this Department, as to the formin which they should be presented for payment.Yours very truly, 'ARTHUR WELSH,Minister of Planningand Development.”Dr. J. Cameron Wilson, chair­man of the authority, expressedhimself as highly pleased to receivethe green-light from the Govern­ment, because this, he said, really launches the Authority on its firstlarge scale flood control and con­servation project. Moreover, theannouncement demonstrated thereadiness of the Ontario Govern­ ment to support, in a generousmanner, the Authority's program,he said.The statement is of more thanlocal interest, Dr. Wilson said. Theother 10 authorities establishedthroughout Ontario will be pleasedto learn that this financial aid isforthcoming when worthy enter­prises are attempted and all re­ quirements are complied with.

FOOD MARKET Quality Foods at Bargain Prices! 138 Thames St. S. * Hello, Homemakers! There is a natural curiosity about how mar­garine as compared to butter ismade. It does-not seem so long agothat grandmother said, “Now keepchurning steadily until the fat isabout half the size of wheat kern­els.” In those days on the farmbutter was made from the creamtaken from the separator and pas­teurized by placing the can in hotwater on the stove. We watchedthe thermometer as it rose to 145and then grandmother pulled it tothe back of the stove for 30 min­utes. The next job was pouring cold water over the covered can ofcream to chill it quickly to a tem­ perature of 56 degrees. Meanwhilegrandmother scalded the churn—an oak barrel fastened like a teeter-totter. The cream had to be strain­ed and the quantity was guessed ormeasured as one-third of a barrelwith a few drops of coloring andthen churning again. One of ussat otF a stool and turned the han-Idle at a speed that would give thecream a good drop or fall. After counting to 80. we pulled the plug,and drained off a quart of liquid.We were always reminded thatshould the churning be stopped toosoon, the small granules of butterwould be carried off with the firstdrawn buttermilk. After the but­termilk was drained out, the butterwas rinsed with about a gallon ofcold water of 40 degrees. Again the plug was pulled to let the waterdrain off. (Temperature was a moreimportant factor than quantities.) As the butter was ladled into thebig wooden bowl, it was sprinkled with salt. About % oz. per pound of butter, -but the measure was ahandful or two. The wooden ladleworked or creamed the butter untilit was free from holes and thebeads of moisture were very small. Finally the 1-pound print box wasfilled and turned out on a square ofparchment paper to be packagedfor market—and so were 8 or 10other pounds made, every other dayof the week. How !■ Margarine Made? This depends upon available fats.Most manufacturers • will use oils from soya-beans, peanuts, cotton­ seed, flaxseed and such- Most of the vegetable oils are stirred mechanically until ready tobe used. Meanwhile the skim milkreceived daily is inspected and pas­teurized. As in the butter processat the dairy, the milk is usually putin an upright tank containing a hotwater coil which revolves throughthe milk, throwing the milk in athin film and quickly heating it to180 degrees then it flow# into tanks where it is chilled to 52 degrees bymeans of revolving coils containingcold brine. To this sweet, skim, pasteurized milk is added a “start­er” which is a lactic ferment cul­ture. The m’Jk begins to ripen intanks fitted with coils containingcold then hot water. The tenipfcrature of the coils is accur­ately controlled to obtain the pro­per degree of acid. Meanwhile the oils have beenchlorinated by bleaching methods and hydrogenated by chemicaltreatment. After the various ma­terials are measured, the mixing process requires about 10 minutes.The temperature control is veryimportant and both mixtures mustbe stirred quickly as the emulsionforms. The final stage is crystallizationso that the ingredients do not sep­arate. One method is a continuous processing by a long revolving chill­ing machine. It is then printed,wrapped and packed in cartons. What We Know About Margarine 1. That as a spread it keeps well under proper refrigeration. It doesnot become too hard to use whentaken directly from the cold. Zana Forester 1 There are several injurious fac- 1tors which can damage a plantation <or a woodlot These are fire, live- 1 stock, insects and disease. The best way to protect a wood- 1 lot from fire is to be careful. Sev­ere damage can be done by firesand the effects may not be very obvious but they will last for years.Young seedlings and saplings areburnt and it may take 10 years togrow another crop of seedlings tothe size of thosi destroyed. The accumulated litter of years whichhelps to enrich the forest soil maybe destroyed by fire. The mineralsoil will be exposed, and this in­creases the amount of surface run­off water. The litter acts as asponge to help bold water back.Large or mature trees may be damaged by ground fires, beingcompletely killed or severely burntat the base. All fires in the woods should beextinguished as soon as possible. One or two plowed furrows willstop a grass fire in most cases. Itmay be advisable to plow a fire­ guard 10 to 15 feet wide around awoodlot if it is located on a well-travelled road. '“The practice of pasturing live­ stock in the woodlot is very des­ tructive. The animals eat youngseedlings of desirable species there­by preventing reproduction of thewoodlot. Seedlings will be tramp­led and injured, and the animals’ hooves will pack the soil down. Thisprevents free absorption of rainfalland prevents the roots of the trees from getting necessary air. Treeroots will start to show above groundlevel and may be damaged bytrampling. This allows disease toattack the tree.It has been iproven by experi­ ment there is little pasture food ina woodlot for livestock. Cattlewill starve if pastured solely in thewoods. Fencing around a woodlotis a necessity to keep livestock out. If, however, shade is needed to pro­tect the stock from heat and flies,the fence can be erected a shortdistance inside the woodlot border.Thus, a narrow strip of bush isleft as shelter for the cattle, butthe whole woodlot is not sacrificed.According to the Assessment Act,woodlots not pastured can be ex­empted from taxation, to the extentof one acre in ten of the farm area, but not more than 20 acres exemp­ted under any single ownership. The protection of a woodlot frominsects and disease is possibly moredifficult. All dead and diseased trees should be cut for fuelwood.Of course, this is wise management and common sense, but so oftenneglected. If diseased trees arenot removed, healthy trees may be affected and killed. The next article will deal with the broad subject of woodlot man­agement, what it entails, and howit can best be done.
