ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAR. 24, 194$ ✓Single Copy - 5 Cents - $2.00 Per Annum - U.S.A. $2.50 120 Acres for Fun, Industry Added to Town ds Flats Salvaged in $800,000 Plan Over 120 acres of new area for park, building or indus­ trial sites will be made available to Ingersoll as a result of the Thames straightening project, Gordon Pittock, Ingersoll's rep­ resentative on T.V.A., informs The Tribune.Revealing that the cost for the 5 1-2 mile straightening and reclamation project will be $800,000, Mr. Pittock said ap­proximately 750,000 cubic yards of fill will be deposited with­ in the boundaries of the town, turning wastelands into new lands of beauty and utility. Meet This Friday Tenders for the tremendous project were opened in the office of R. E. Winlaw, town clerk, early in the week, and the tenders will be considered at Mitchell tomorrow at a generalmeeting of the representatives of the 34 municipalities in the upper watershed of the T.V.A. Officers will also be elected. Present at the opening of the seven tenders for the pro­ject, which involves excavation of 1,400,000 cubic yards,were: J. Cameron Wilson, London, authority chairman; Wat­ son Porter, London, secretary-treasurer; Leonard Johpson, T.V.A. fieldman; James Calder, North Oxford; A. D. Robinson,West Oxford; Gordon Ross, East Zorra; Aidermen Harry Col­ lins and Ernest Pearson, Woodstock; Elmer Winlaw, town clerk of Ingersoll; Gordon Pittock, Ingersoll, and G. G. Reid, Toronto, consulting engineer. Cost Up £200,000 It had previously been estimated the project, divided into three sections, would cost $600,000. But the lowest tendersfor each of the three sections totalled $634,762. “Approximately 750,000 cubic yards of fill will be put within the boundaries of the town,” Mr. Pittock explained.“The area between Thames St and the east boundary of the town, and the C.N.R. right-of-way on the north, and the street line of Charles St East, on the south, will be filled in to the lev­ el of the base of the C.N.R. rail. Over 120 acres of land willbe salvaged. It w'ill probably be seeded and park planted, that is with the odd grove of trees here and there. “All behind the community centre, the furnace plant andall along there will be filled in. The old Carroll pond property will vanish. The whole project will be of tremendous value to the town, and will make quite a change.” Job In Three Sections The plan for river improvement covers three sections ofthe South Branch of the Thames. The first section begins at a point 10,000 feet west of Thames St. in Ingersoll and comesback over the river course to Mutual St., one block east ofThames St. The second section of the plan covers from Mut­ ual St. to the west end of the channel constructed in 1943. The third section takes in the river courses from the easternend of the 1943 channel to just beyond the bridge on Zorra St in BeachtHle. Valuable To Town Mr. Pittock told town council Monday night T.V.A. washaving a bit of difficulty getting permission to go through cer­ tain properties. He asked, if T.V.A. had to buy any property, would the town grant them a fixed assessment. Warwick Mar­ shall, town solicitor, said it couldn't be done unleess voted onby the ratepayers. Mr. Pittock then referred to a piece of land on the flats owned by J. C. Smith, and said Mr. Smith had refused to allow T.V.A. to go through, stating the town hadpromised to buy the land from him. “All these properties involved are going to be improved,” Mr. Pittock said. “It would be worth it to the town to buy them. T.V.A. doesn’t want to buy it—we’re not in the realestate business.” Mr. Pittock told the Chamber of Commerce at its banquet Tuesday night some of the difficulties they had bumped intoin the development of the project to this stage. Last Survey In 1853 He said they discovered that the last survey over the area was in 1853, and the one before that, in 1815. In 1815, headded, the whole area between Woodstock and Ingersoll was in the names of only two people. The survey just now under­ taken,* he added, would show the original, the existing and theimproved river channel, and monuments would pin down lotand township dividing lines. Mr. Pittock said it was discovered that "two-thirds of thewater passing through Ingersoll flows into the Thames afterthe Thames leaves Woodstock.” A new bridge, costing $40,000, will be necessary in theNo. 2 area, he revealed. DAYLIGHT SAVING TO BEGIN APRIL 24 Daylight saving in Ingersollwill begin at 12.01 a.m., Sun­ day, April 24, town councildecided Monday night Thetown will revert to standard time at the same hour, Sun­day, September 25. AU-day Parkers May Be Banned By Council Action Widening of Thames St, parkingmeters and a parking lot for thosewho didn’t like the meters were urged by Councillor Fred Wurker at towncouncil Monday night, when he as­ serted the double-parking situationon the town’s main streets was “grim.” He blamed merchants largely for the condition. Mr. Wurker was given permission tocontinue discussions with the Supertestpeople concerning possible use of property behind Cam Bailey’s garage,Charles St East as a town parking lot The property, which would holdabout 75 cars, it, was estimated, has been offered to the town on the equiv­alent of a rental basis for a short terra. “The merchants park all day long along Thames St, allowing no spacesfor delivery men or the people who would patronize their shops," Mr.Wurker complained. “I appeal to the merchants to patronize this lot behind Bailey’s, if we take it over, and leavethe street free for the come-and-go people. Then we’ll have the policepatrol the streets and enforce our 60-minute parking by-law.” Mr. Wurker suggested they take nolong-term lease for the parking prop­ erty because filling-in in connectionwith the Thames Valley Project might leave a great deal of property availablefor such purposes. He suggested that a meeting be called of delivery men,who generally were forced to double­ park, the police and the police com­ mittee to discuss a solution to theproblem. “The police are having a terribletime with double parking,” he said. "What about parking meters?” askedMayor Dr. J. G. Murray. “I think it would be unwise to goahead with them now,” Councillor Wurker replied. “Most people are in Continued on page 5 Plant To Make Margarine Being Built Here - Henry Margarine is going to be made in Ingersoll. This was announced Tuesday night by Gordon B. Henry, manager of the Ingersoll Cheese Co., at the Ingersoll Chamber ofCommerce’s New Industries Banquet and annual meeting in St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. It means an investment here of “afew hundred thousand dollars.” Mr. Henry said construction on the modern new building hadbegun, and it should be completed early in May. He told The Tribune the building will be 72 by 45 feet and the industry will employ another 12-15 people. Lucky to Get Plant Mr. Henry told the meeting he knew he should wear armor plate, and carryguns henceforth, as he realized there would probably be “some reaction” toestablishing a margarine industry in Canada’s dairy county. “We felt, however,” he said, “thatsince margarine is going to be made in Canada anyway, if we could'feet theIndustry located in Ingersoll it would be of great benefit to the community,rather than let Toronto or Guelph have it We feel we’re mighty lucky to get the plant here because those otherplaces were bidding for it “I might say," he added, “that hadnot Ingersoll installed its new sewage system here, we wouldn’t have got theplant. The fact this big firm choseIngersoll will undoubtedly influence other industries seeking a spot toestablish. A considerable sum of money is being invested in this new plant” Fleischmann’s Blue Bonnet Marga­rine, a top favorite with homemakers in countries where margarine has beenavailable, will soon be produced by the Ingersoll Cheese Co. Ltd., atIngersoll. Charles Cassie, Presidentof Standard Brands Ltd., announced at Montreal. “The recent lifting of thefederal ban on margarine has enabled this company to lay plans for pro­duction and sale in Canada of their margarine,” he said.Mr. Henry said production plans are already well underway. “Theplant” he continued, “is ideally suited to the manufacture of margarine andits present refrigeration and productionmethods are now being expanded to accommodate the new product A newboiler and engine room are being added. The new addition to the plantwill house the most modern equipment for the production of margarine.”“The addition of this new industry to Ingersoll once again expresses theconfidence manufacturers have in our town and wiH; no doubt, aid in keeping up the flow of employment so necessaryto the strength and well-being of our community,” Mr. Henry said. COUNCIL ON MONDAY: Accepted the resignation of James A. Buchanan, as town sew­ age inspector. Mr. .Buchanan ten­dered his resignation effective March 12. He said it had been a pleasure working for the town andhis services would always be avail­ able. The fire,* light and water com­ mittee, with L. V.

NOXON’S WHISTLE STIRS UP OLD-DAY MEMORIES The following note was received by the Tribune recently from C.Frank Crawford, now of New York, and with the Tribune 70 Probe “Mysterious Voice” After 13-Mile Trip to Fire Ingersoll’s fire department sped 13M miles out of town to a chimney firethe other day and no one knows who ordered it out, Lome Healy, chairmanof the fire, water and light committee,informed town council Monday. Mr. Healy said Fire Chief Dick Ellis had since been told the department was not to be despatched outside the town"except in extreme emergency,” and only then on direct orders of themayor. “When the department goes outside town, it is not covered byinsurance," he said, “and if anything happens, the town is entirely re­sponsible." When Mr. Healy said that was all hecared to say on the subject, butdhatlie would “tell the rest to the mayor,”a reporter protested, stating that inview of the fact fire trucks belonged to the people, they were entitled toknow exactly what, they were doing, and on whose authority.“I am not trying to withhold any of the privileges of the press,” saidMr. Healy, “but I can’t, tell you who ordered the engine out—I’m not sure who ordered it out" Call Meeting on March 28 To Organize H. and S. Club A meeting to discuss organization in Ingersoll of a home and school dubwill be held in coundl chambers March 28. All parents arc invited. Speakerswill be Mrs. J. E. Richards, London, and Mrs. M. D. McClellan, Brantford. Mrs. R. S. Foster discussed the bene­ fits of a home and school associationin an interview over CKOX recently. Among other things she said: “The home and the school have be­come closely linked in recent years. A generation of high school graduates,even university graduates, has grown up and they are anxious that theirchildren be well educated. These parents want to visit the local school,meet the teachers, see the physicalfeatures and resources of the school,examine the course of study and the school programme. Above all, however,they wish to know whether the spiritof the school is good, what its character building properties are, and whether pupils brought up in such an atmos­phere are likely to develop into worthycitizens. “Home and School Associations are excellently adapted to meet such in­quirers and we believe that, with ap­ proximately 1,000 pupils in the IngersollPublic and Separate Schools there are many parents eager to take advantageof opportunities offered by such an organization.“Most parents need the help of child study groups. Too often people thinkof wealth or comfort as the criteria ofa good home. They think it is only the people in the low income bracket whoneed to understand children and learn how to handle them. A good house,a steady income, and enough to eat and wear are basic for children, butin themselves they do not make a good (Continued on page 5) years ago: "Gentlemen: The poem on Noxon’s Whistle, in your recent issue stirred up mem­ories of those far away days.

CARD OF THANKS •Mr. and Mt s. Maurice Breon wish to express their appreciationto their friends and neighbours forthe many cards, flowers and beauti­ ful gifts received on their fiftiethwedding anniversary. ' Tom Douglas. Ingersoll’s ownspeaking champion, is going to Windsor Friday to participate in a two-man public speaking contest,and behind that lies a little story. Tom, who goes to the local Col­legiate, and who had been winning elimination contests all around the countryside during the past fewweeks, earned the right to partici­ pate in the W.O.S.S.A. senior pub­ lic speaking finals. They were heldin London last Friday—but Tom wasn't there.It seems that when the notices went out t to the various contest­ ants, the ‘ one intended for Tom,son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Douglas, went astray, and the finals were over and won without Ingersoll orTom knowing a thing about it. A Windsor boy, beat the Listowel contestant, got the medal, the cer­ tificate and all the applause and congratulations, and returned homein glory. His glory was tempered a bit, however, by warning of theofficials that the Ingersoll boy wasn't there, through an oversight, and he might have to defend hisnew title. When Ingersoll officials heardabout the oversight, they asked that Tom be given his chance to compete, even though officially thefinals were over, and the champ decided.The special contest, between Tom and the Windsor boy, is the result.Tom’s prepared speech will be “Graduating into Life.” Special arrangements have been made forhim to write two exams scheduled for Friday. former Jennie 'Mawer, she was bornin Castletown, County Durham, England, on February 12, 1916.

Dog’s Cold Nose Fires Gun Gets No Thief, Just Own Hens A fanner who lives not far away from here went stalking chicken thieves the other night and wound up by shooting a few of his own hens—purely by mistake, of course.This farmer’s hens were getting fewer ahd fewer as the nights went by,so he crawled into bed in his long undies, parked his gun ut his bed,and his dog. Carlo, outside, and waited for the thieves to go into action.Suddenly Carlo began barking, so our farmer slapped on his hat, jumped Into rubber boots, grabbed his gunand sallied forth in Ms union suit He sneaked up on the henhouse, openedthe door, poked in the gun and shouted“hands up."Clucking of hens was the only reply.Finger on trigger, in he crept Carlo was right behind.A sound made the farmer stop. The dog's cold hose bumped into thefarmer’s bare leg. The fanner started, and there was a roar as his gun ventoff in sheer fright Feathers and language filled the air,and when the atmosphere cleared 13 hens lay lifeless in the straw.Not another sound was heard that night Scouts The weekly meeting of the Scouts was held March 18th, at headquarters.

St. G. Spend­ love, keeper, modern European col­lection of the Royal Ontario Mus­ eum of Archaeology, Toronto. When Mr. Desmond brought theunique chain-driven watch into TheTribune office, The Tribune com­ municated with the museum in thehope they could accurately identifythe specimen. A similar watch had been sold in the U. S. for some$8,000, according to Mr. Desmond. Mr. Spendlove wrote: “The watch sounds like a very desirablespecimen, from the description that you send, but it is impossible to give a positive opinion about it without seeing it. The name of Le Noir (it was inscribed inside thewatch—editor), was well-known in French watch and clock-making andin the middle of the 18th century there were eight of the name work­ ing in Paris. Etienne (which is in­scribed on Mr. Desmond’s watch), was the most celebrated of the fam­ ily; he was active about 1740."If Mr. Desmond is ever in To­ ronto and could bring the watch in for inspection, it would be possibleto give him an exact opinion. We could not, however, value it for him as it is against our rules. Wehave the superb Sutcliffe Smith col­ lection of watches here, which con­tains almost all known types.” Drive for New Industries Planned At C. of C. Dinner Formation of an industrial group, headed by some dynamic personality, to “sell” Ingersoll, was recommended Tuesday night by James Turnbull of the trade and industries branch of the provincial department of planning and development. Mr. Turnbull, Ontario’s industrial development expert, was addressing the New Industries Banquet and annual meeting of the Ingersoll Chamber of Commerce at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. The whole theme of the meeting was the need to attract industries.- to Ingersoll, and how to do it “It is vitally important,” said Mr. Turnbull, “that whatever type of industrial commission you have, you must have your citizens behind you. It’s an educational proposition: Sell your citizens on your own home town and they in turn can sell your town to theoutside.” Hard Row to Hoe Mr. TumbuJ pointed out that Inger­soll’s ambitions were those of at least300 other communities in Ontario. Hesaid some were really organized for the search, others were partially so,but many were “just a case of wishfulthinking.”“Do all in your power to encourage present industries,” he said. “A happy,contented labor and satisfied manage­ ment already in town*’is well up onthe list of selling points, to potentialindustries in your town. But to get new industries is no pie in the sky—it’s a hard row to hoe. Your industrial commission must have thick skins andbe incurable optimists. And they have to go but and work for it”.“You can’t sell yourself unless you know what you’ve got to sell” hesaid. “Form a committee of repre­ sentative citizens, study your faults, note your virtues, and remember thatyour best salesmen arXyour own citi­ zens. If you hear of an industry inToronto, say. looking for a site, we’ll do all in our power to help you, pro­viding you can sell us." Need Strong Council A. E. Izzard acted as chairman in theabsence, through illness, of R. A. Stone, president; and Roy W. Green, vice-president. L. A. Westcott thanked the ladies’ aid for a grand dinner. Mr. Izzard explained that the Cham­ber of Commerce was formed to pro­ mote the interests of the town. “Theonly way the town can get ahead is for all people to cooperate,” he said, “andtake a greater interest in the town's affairs. The way to get industries and mure ]>eople here is to make Ingersolla place where they would like to live “We’ve got to have a good strongcouncil to further the Interests of the town.

The Festival took place in the South London Salvation Army Cit­adel under the auspices of the South London Salvation ArmyBand. Chairman was Lieufi-Colonel L. Ursaki.

Affair of the Stamp Wicket Shows Democracy At Work This paper does not, nor does it intend to hew to any politicaline. It will applaud a sound action 1 or proposal, and assail the opposite, no matter what the party. Thus we are carrying no party’s torch, as we commend Ottawa’s action in affair . of the corridor stamp wicket Nor is our com­ mendation because the government saw things . our way, but because it was big enough to change ■ its mind in response to public demand. That, to us, is THE significant result in the whole affair. It is democratic government—gov- . eminent of the people, by th’e people and for the . people—working as it should. In all dictatorships, ■ the top few decide the policy and that’s it. There ; is no appeal. Too often in our democratic govern­ ments, the same holds' true. But in the postoffice ■ wicket affair, democracy worked as it should. The postmaster general decided that corridor stamp wickets were to go. It was a blanket (policy, with no consideration given to conditions in the communities affected by. the ruling. When the order came to Ingersoll, the postoffice itself, industry, business and many organizations .and citizens realized the change here would be [catastrophic, and so they told Ottawa. Ottawa listened, weighed its blanket order against Inger­ soll’s situation, and ruled the wicket should stay. We salute the government for demonstrating real democracy at a time when many peoples are being made to choose. Patronize Home Businesses Makes Prosperity For AU Following the removal of restrictions on the use of electricity, the business people of Ingersoll are able to light the stores to better advantage. They have also helped that popular evening pas­ time of window-shopping. Many people like to come downtown in the evening to look in the (store windows and see the merchandise that is on 'display. Ingersoll has a modem shopping district. Its business people are friendly, and they try to serve the residents of the town and the surrounding trading area to the best of their ability. Some of them have been in business for many, many years, and in some instances their businesses have come down through family generations. Ingersoll and district people know when they shop in Ingersoll that the local merchants pride themselves on their reputation of fair dealing. They are assured of good quality and fair prices. They know, too, that they can buy in Ingersoll practically anything that is for sale in the large centres. If the Ingersoll merchant doesn’t hap­ pen to have in stock what they particularly desire, they know that he will make an effort to get it 'for them, and as quickly as possible. The shopping centre of Ingersoll is a complete one. Every kind of merchandise is sold here in our friendly stores. Most of the merchants and their staff members know the shoppers by their names. Loyalty to the hometown merchant helps to make our community a better place in which to live. The business people pf Ingersoll pay a goodly share of the taxes of our town, and they contribute generously to appeals for financial assistance. They also serve the tqwn and the dis­ trict with their time and ability on municipal groups and in community-building organizations. As- employers the business people of Ingersoll rank with the large industries. A large number of people are. employed daily in.the numerous busi­ ness places of our town. We commend the merchants of Ingersoll for the improvements they are continually making to their stores inside and outside. Wc also congrat­ ulate them on the attractive window displays they feature which help to make us more proud of our town and which evoke admiration from the many visitors to Ingersoll each day. Let uk resolve to boost Ingersoll by doing our shopping in the friendly business places of our hqme town! Officially It Is Spring But We Sometimes Wonder Officially, it is now Spring. Early this week. Spring slipped quietly jn to dethrone old King Winter. We don't suppose the old fellow likes it very well, and we surmise that he will be rather unhurried and ungraceful about his departure. He didn’t treat us too severely this winter, but he are not sorry to see him go. He has been with, us long enough. Now we can shed our red flannels, begin to anticipate the end of firing the furnace und carrying out ashes, and think about the hard work we can save for ourself by having the gar­ den plowed instead of spading it. In mld-wlntcr the spading looks easy and appeals as a healthy exercise, but ubuut now we are convinced it is back-breaking work. Anyway, spring brings us many things to be done outdoors, and not all of them are work! Crack Down On Motorists Who Gaily Splash Away This is the splash season. It is not a very wel­ come one to pedestrians whose clothing is splash­ ed by careless motorists. On the other hand, theway some motorists recklessly drive over sloppy streets when there are people walking along the sidewalks would seem that they not only welcome the season but enjoy glee in sending showers of water and slush towards the sidewalks. Most of us, we suppose, have something of the boyish spirit in driving, which prompts us to go through slush and .water at times and watch the spray fly. However, the fact that wc are old enough to be in possession of a license to drfye a motor vehicle should attest also to the fact that we ought to have enough good sense not to splash people who are on foot. A license to drive a motor vehicle conveys no more power or authority—no privileges either— than a fellow citizen without-ff license has as well. Too many of us get the Hitler-complex when we are behind the wheel of a car or a truck. We seem to think that everybody must jump for us. The best way to make the splashers think twice before they do it again, is for the splashed person to take the number of the motor vehicle. The owner of the vehicle can be traced with the assist­ ance of the police, and it would be very fitting for him to receive a bill for the cleaning of the clothes. Courtesy and common sense should be exercis­ ed by motorists all the time. Very few of us do not practice courteousness in our homes, in bus­ iness, at work, and when we are walking, but for some reason or other many of us like to disassoci­ ate it from our driving of motor vehicles. We can do much to prevent accidents, to keep from an­ noying pedestrians by splashings, and to make motoring happier by using common sense and courtesy when we drive.

When Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent made his three-minute “visit” to Ingersoll two weeks ago, The Tribune was there too, and duly recorded the various personalities down to pay their re­ spects to the chieftain. Listed as being very much present was Ted McMulkin. Ted, as every­ one but the Tribune knew, is a Tory with a cap- itol T, and wouldn’t be seen dead—if he could help it—within miles of a Liberal. “Darn it all,’’ he stormed into the Tribune office, with hopes of progress within the Conservative ranks going down the drain, “I wasn't there to see St. Laur­ ent - - - I was at a funeral.” See these great new Westinghouse R A N G E S Behind that grand, smiling picture of that late beloved citizen, George Sutherland, in last week’s Tribune, is something of a story. It was taken last December 27, Mr. Sutherland’s birthday,—at Mr. Sutherland's own request! Few photos had ever been taken of him during his long lifetime; he didn’t particularly like having his picture taken, and none had been taken for years. But this time he insisted that Jimmy Smith come up and take one, and last week’s picture was -the result. Norman Harper, his son-in-law, feels that perhaps Mr. Sutherland had a premonition the end was near. He told his relatives he wouldn’t be around next year, and two months after asking for his photo to be takes, his forecast was borne out A real citizen, man and friend, was gone.. What Others Say Something nice i$ always happen­ing at the Library these days. Last week it was the gift of a picture, acolor wood-cut by Walter Phillips,Canada’s famous maker of printsand painter in water colors. Thisis one of his typical scenes, a moun­tain landscape with a fresh yellowgreen foreground, and the clear cutmountains blue and white and palepurple rising to a delicate sky. Themountain pictured is the one re­cently renamed Mt. Eisenhower.And the donor of this fine print—none other than The Tribune’s ownTommy Lee, who has given it fromhis collection of Canadian paintings to hang in Ingersoll’s Library.We have just finished reading“John Goffe’s Mill," by GeorgeWoodbury. It is one of thosecheerful stories of a couple who re­make their lives by restoring an oldcraft and an old way of life. It re­minds one of the account by thenewspaperman, Kenneth Wells, whoretreated to a remodelled log housein Medonte Township and reportedhis experiences in the very popular“The Owl Pen.” The Woodburyswere museum workers forced bythe husband’s ill-health to look fora more open-air existence. Theysettled in rural New Hampshire onan old property on which was a ru­ ined water mill built in 1744. Itwas almost inevitable that theyshould restore the old mill, but it isunusual that they should continueto the extent that they made it apaying proposition as a .water-driv­en sawmill and grist mill, usingmany old-time methods. Although they never look at the past withrosy glasses, they have managed tocreate a satisfying life by combin­ ing the best of the old ways withthe best of today. George andConnie and the four children andall the amusing characters who helpalong their various projects make a humorous and lively story.A useful technical book now atthe library is “Painting and Decor­ating,” a book that covers every­thing necessary for the professional and amateur decorator to know. Itcovers color mixing, estimating, fin­ishing woods, mechanical apparatus,special effects, paint failures andremedies and a chapter on paper h*Among the periodicals at the li­ brary you will now find the Sundayedition of The New York Times,which reviews the week’s news fromfinance to drama, from world events to gardening and amuse­ments. It also contains an interest­ing magazine supplement and book review supplement. Stern Measures Necessary In the first sixty-seven days of this year elevenpersons were killed and 489 others were injured in traffic accidents within this city. Across the■Province the record has been little, if any,better. This destruction is occurring not for want of, but in spite of, one of the most intensivesafety and educational campaigns ever conducted.It is the greater shame, therefore, to have to ac­knowledge as the Minister of Highways did re­cently, that the chief cause of the problem isbad manners, a simple lack of courtesy and con­sideration for others.“In the final analysis”, said Mr. Doucett, speaking of last year’s toll, “there Is-only onefactor that can enforce obedience. That factor isa sense of good citizenship, a sense of decencyand responsiblity. Our traffic laws are not en­acted merely for the collection of fines or the im­position of terms of imprisonment. Basically they are a code of good motoring manners.”There is one obvious flaw in this. What is tobe done in protection of those with a sense of . decency and responsibility against those whorefuse either to cultivate or “obey” ii?The pocketbook, we believe, can be enlisted as a useful educator on the side of motoring man­ners. Our enforcement agencies are not doingthen*' jobs in a way that will make best use of it. . or, if they are, have not, perhaps, had the fullco-operation of the courts. Mostly, we believe thefault to be a too lenient attitude toward what are too commonly accepted as “minor “slips” or neg­ligence. But why should a motor transport driverimagine that he could roar along Toronto's Lake Shore Road at forty-five miles an hour, glarelights blinding oncoming traffic. It’s been done,x rhe Queen Elizabeth Way, pride of the Prov­ ince, is not a safe highway. Anything but. It is- principally careless, discourteous driving which- is making it unsafe. Again glare -lights are a major fault on this road, once lighted in a manner•Xv ** fhmlnated the need for strong headlights.»Why should the motorist who refuses to dim his in answer to “ signal get away with it?Hundreds do, night after night! W’hy should motorists, without rear lights or...even benefit of license plate illumination, be per­mitted use of a road on which through travellers;are invited to drive at fifty miles an hour? Whyshould motorists without lights of any descriptionbe allowed to trundle up and down that or any other highway? They are. It is a rare night whenexamples of this type of negligence do not showup on the Queen Elizabeth. Is anything everdone about them? Their numbers suggest not.Every motorist can add examples of his own,less or more serious as hazards which even the most scrupulous cannot avoid. If failure to trampdown on this sort of thing is beyond the strengthof our police forces, then let us increase their strength for a time, even at the expense of safetycampaigns and other appeals to decency.—-TheGlobe and Mail.

PLASTICS AND COMPOUNDS CEMENTS FLUIDS tT MMer CondiUonlwfar X,Ur rr«U<tUn POLISHES AND CLEANERS By W. A. G. Thurston, Zone Foreiter There may be circumstances ex­ isting in somfe woodlots which nec­essitate the planting of trees. In general, however, ..this is riot oftennecessary. If a woodlot ^as- been" heavily pastured for yettrs, and is veryopen, with few trees left,, planting may be the only way to get back a new stand of trees. Large openingsmay exist from previous logging operations, and for some reasonhave not become restocked withtrees. In such a case, planting is a suitable remedy. Planting may beused as a means of introducing more valuable species into a wood­lot, if. the existing- species are of low commercial value. If, for any reason planting isnecessary in a woodlot, great care must be taken to ensure survival ofthe planted trees, else one’s workmay be done without achieving re­ sults. Many species of trees can’tbe grown in shade, since they needplenty of sunlight to promote growth. In a woodlot one shouldplant young trees only in the open­ ings, or around the sides where they can get an abundance of sun­light. Certain species can withstand acertain amount of shade, spruce being one of these. However, to be sure of not attempting to plantspecies that won’t survive in shade, it is best to consult your zone Forester.If planning to plant in a wood­ lot, it must be realized that thesystem to use will be spot planting. It will probably be impossible toplow furrows, so a piece of sod must be removed with a shovel, a hole dug in the cleared space, andthe tree then planted. This meth­ od is slower and harder work thanusing furrows, so care must be tak­ en not to over-estimate the numberof trees that can be planted in the spring.Before planting in a woodlot, con­sider all phases of the question be­ fore deciding to go ahead. Be surethat ptantinR i» necessary, and that' nature is not restocking the areafor you. Ask for advice on what should be done and the kinds oftrees you should plant, and the bestway to plant them. Then plant the trees carefully, as a natural-borncarefully, as a natural-born treetree has more vitality than a poorly planted one. , _Address all Inquiries to Department of Landa and Forests, Strat­ ford, Ont.

And let’s work for our town.”Tom Morrison, acting mayor in the absence of Dr. J. G. Murray, said theChamber of Commerce was becoming mofe and more necessary for thedevelopment of Ingersoll. He paid tribute to the group's work.Can’t Just Sit Back "We’ll never get anywhere or getan industry in Ingersoll If we just sit back like the frog waiting for theflies to jump Tri/’ said Leigh Snider, secretary. "You must go out afterthem. You must have either an in­ dustrial commission or a full-timesecretary." He said the newly-formed Junior Chamber of Commerce would be ableto do a big job. The following two-year directors of theChamber of Commerce were named:A. E. Izzard, P. M. Dewan, J. R. Henley, Sam Shelton and F. H. Stone; one year:Robert Carr, Royden G. Start, G. B. Henry, Jack Love and Herbert Baker (both of the latter being of the juniorgroup) and honorary—R. A. Stone, R. W. Green and E. A. Wilson.Mr. Baker said that with the meeting a new word had been introduced toIngersoll — Jaycee, meaning Junior Chamber of Commerce. He said theyoung men would devote their best interests to Ingersoll. John Sheppard,national vice-president of the Junior C. of C. in Canada, said "Canada’s greatest natural resources was heryoung men." He was thanked by H. W. Fick. Mr.Turnbull was introduced by J. R. Henley and thanked by Lome Healy.Mr. Izzard concluded: "If we all gettogether, we can make Ingersoll a real town rather than an overgrown village." All day Parkers....

Wedon’t need those big wide sidewalks, and it would be silly to put up the meters, then have to remove and re­install them when the road-widening project is undertaken.“Also,” he added, “before we put in parking meters, we must give thepeople a place to park if they don’t want to pay a nickel. We should makea concerted drive to widen Thames St” "Installation of parking meters should take place as soon as possible," main­tained Councillor Healy, who said they would make the town a lot of money. "Let’s put teeth into our 60-minuteparking by-law,” urged Councillor Tom Morrison. “The merchants nor anyoneelse should be allowed to park on the main street all day."“If we could take only 75 cars off the main street, we would relieve a good deal of the congestion,” Mr.Wurker thought Corp. J. W. Callander, in his monthlyreport, said during February “207 warnings were issued to motorists,” al­though all for minor infractions. “Double parking is still a sourcetrouble,” he added. Call Meeting March 28 (Continued from page 1)home. Many such homes are wretched places for children to grow up in. Onthe other hand, many humble homes fill the need for the development ofthe child’s personality. Emotional se­ curity, independence, achievement andself-esteem must be recognized in every well-regulated home. Wealthy oreven educated parents do not possess any God-given knowledge of childrenor how to handle them. That is a knowledge or skill that must be ac­quired. The Home and School Associa­ tion provides the opportunity for study­ing the needs of children and how these may be best met in the home,in the school and in the community. “We have been assured of theteachers’ co-operation since we con­ sidered this necessary before going'ahead with plans for organization. Close co-operation between teachers and parents pays big dividends. Ithelps solve irritating classroom, diffi­culties, but above all it yields rich returns in giving the teachers thosedeep satisfactions of seeing children grow and develop In a wholesome man­ ner. In the long run, it is these satis­factions tha^ make teaching a worth­ while job./Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a recent issue of Readers Digest, draws attentionto our responsibility to the teaching staffs of the school."If our children are to have, in school,devoted instruction and guidance, thenthe teacher must feel and experienceour interest, must feel that we are proud to be partners in training ourchildren. Yet what have we done to make certain that the teachers knowthat we are with them and for them? Have we invited the teachers into our homes? Have we visited them in theclassroom? Do we understand condi­ tions under which they work? Do webelieve that they arc getting satis­ factory pay; a pay in which they inturn can raise their children decently and send them, likewise,' to school? What have we done to make certainour teachers, through neglect, do not come to look upon themselves asvirtual victims of our political and economic system rather as shiningexamples of its success in rewardingbrains and effort? Through group andindividual effort we can co-operatewith the teacher, we can convince him that we have a common interest andcommon purpose, show him that we are ready to provide him with properfacilities in the exercise of his profes­ sion and to respect him as one of the key members of our society. In sodoing we will be adding to the richness of our childen’s education by a per­suasive example. "A Home and School Association inIngersoll would help us realize this ideal."

OGILVIE FLOUR MILLS Tribune readers will recall the short story some issues ago about Stanley Smith buying for3 cents a painting since found to be valuable. Mr. Webster, of item, and the following article, By William R. Webster A watercolor by one of Canada'soutstanding artists was presentedduring World War I to a man or woman who once sold the most Vic­tory bonds. Last year, the painting,unheralded and unsung, arrived atWoodstock market, tied in abundle, which contained six otherpictures.The seven pictures went on theauction block and were sold for 25cents .to a man who wanted only the glass in the frames. ,He is Stan Smith, North Thamesstreet, Ingersoll, a night crossingwatchman for Canadian NationalRailways, who has spent his spare time in the past 16 years collectingantiques and curios for his home museum.He feels his museum is one ofthe best individual collections westof Toronto, and the painting, aview of Mount Robson by Freder­ ick Marlett Bell-Smith, is one of the prize items. A Strange Story The way in which it came intohis possession makes a strange storyeven for one whose hobby has ac­ customed him to things out of theordinary. He took the pictureshome and left them outside on averandah where water from a drainspout splashed over them duringthe following two weeks.When he wanted a piece of glass he examined the pictures and madea discovery. On the bottom of the pile, protected from the waterwhich had ruined five of the others,was a picture which Mr. Smith rea­lized at once was no ordinary print. He cleaned the glass and saw thewatercolor bearing Mr. Bell-Smith’ssignature.Faded clippings pasted on thethe back of the picture told part ofits story, and part of the painter’sfrom this side of the Atlantic to paint Queen Victoria. But ’landscapes also earned him a repu-story. One piece of paper carried this information: “Canadian Na­tional Exhibition, fine art depart­ment. F. M. Bell-Smith, value 375.” Another clipping described howthe artist had taken the picture from above his own mantlepiece in his Toronto home and donated it John C.

It is more than just figures, because back of them is the story of what 32,700,000 policyholders in Canada and the United States have done for their families and themselves. The role of Metropolitan, like that of any Life insurance company, has been to help policyholders to make effective their individual plans for protection against the uncer­ tainties of life. This Statement is a brief account of its stewardship. The amount paid to policyholders and beneficiaries in 1948 was $721,366,364. Of this sum, $263,780,754 went to the beneficiaries of 235,000 policyholders; $147,045,672 to some 450,000 individuals for Matured Endowments and Annuities; and $59,403,238 for 650,000 claims for Disability and Accident & Health benefits. In addition, the total paid included sums for cash surrender values, dividends, and other payments due under outstanding policies. The total payments by Metropolitan to policyholders and beneficiaries during the last 16 years aggregated 1948 Business $9,346,330,825 — a sum which has served as a stabilizing influence in homes and communities throughout this country and the United States. This total exceeds the Company’s assets of $9,125,145,007 as of December 31, 1948. These assets are held to meet obligations of $8,591,210,201, of which more than 90% represents statutory reserves for future payments to policyholders and beneficiaries. Over and above these obligations, there remained a surplus of $533,934,806, which is about 6% of obligations — a back­ log which must be available against the possibility of epidemics, adverse economic conditions or other unfore­ seeable situations. The Company’s assets guarantee the fulfilment of the $39,958,517,854 of Metropolitan life insurance in force. In addition, they assure the payment of the 448,394 annuity and supplementary contracts outstanding, and the 6,546,412 policies or certificates providing benefits in event of either accident, sickness, hospitalization, surgical or medical expense. A few other highlights of the Company's 1948 annual statement are: the net rate of interest earned on total assets reversed the trend of many years and increased from 2.94% in 1947 to 3.03%; in line with the experience of busi­ ness generally, there were some increases in expenses; the rate of mortality was slightly lower than in 1947; the lapse rate was one of the best on record; and new Life insurance issued during the year was $2,904,157,071. The amount held for dividends payable to Metropolitan policyholders in 1949 totals $152,067,254. Metropolitan investments continued in 1948 to serve various sections of Canada and the United States and the economy of both countries. The Company is interested in making loans, to either individuals or corporations, which meet the legal requirements with which it must comply. Mr. and Mrs. L. Swartout and Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
