Car Receipt Is “Too Clean” Ingersoll Man Foils Thief A too-clean receipt and the astutenessof an Ingersoll business man over theweek-end foiled f car thief, recovered a stolen car and brought to light a uniqueused-car racket said operated by a To­ronto-Hamilton gang. The ‘business man with the nose of adetective was Norman E. Horton, presi^dent and general manager of the Inger­soll Casket Co., and local police are fullof praise for his efforts. Mr. Horton answered an ad offeringa used car for sale, and the car wasdriven down here by “the smoothesttalker” Mr. Horton ever met. Every­thing seemed Jn order until Mr. Horton noticed that the receipt, signed by a re­putable firm in St. Catharines, seemed much too clean for one dated June,1948. Then Mr. Horton noticed two ofthe keys were made in Kitchener, andby then he was getting really suspic­ious. Telephone calls all over the placewere made and they elicited the infor­mation no such sale had ever takenplace in St. Catharines: as a matter offact, the car had been stolen from a To­ronto man about the day before. Bythis time, the car "salesman" had alsobeen getting suspicious, and he fled— leaving the car he was about to hookMr. Horton $1,900 for. Corp. Jack Callander explained theracket which he said was known to To­ronto police, but was something newand different in Ingersoll. The gangget their eye on a particular car, he said,find out the serial and engine numbers,etc., then register the car in their name.At the opportune moment they get waximpressions of the car’s keys and havekeys made. When all is under control,they advertise the car for sale. "Then." explained Corp. Callander.“when they get a nibble that seemspromising, they steal the car, and driveit to the prospective customer. Every­thing always seems in order. It’s apretty smooth set-up; why this chapeven had a border crossing card whichseemed perfectly in order." Corp. Callander said the car would be returned to the Toronto owner. To­ ronto police, he said, know the men op­erating the racket Polish Girl Welcomed By All Of Zenda The Salford juvenile hockey team, winners of the South Oxford League,were honored Saturday eveningwhen they, as guests of their par-ents, enjoyed a sumptuous banquetin the Sunday school rooms of theUnited Church. Some 46 boys, par­ents and guests were present. The handsome trophy the boys won wason display, also the small Individualtrophies the community donated toeach boy. Everyone enjoyed thedelicious turkey supper served bythe members of the Junior BibleClass. Weldon Burrill, president of theSouth Oxford Hockey League, andSam Chambers, secretary-treasurer,spoke briefly. Mr. Chambers con­veyed congratulations from the Zen- da team—runners-up in the battlefor the trophy. Witts' Fertilizer Co.of Norwich, donors of the trophy,was represented by Mr. Bishop. The speaker of the evening, intro­duced by Fred Wilson, was Hamil­ton Gosse. director of “Y " work inIngersoll. Mr. Gosse gave a veryfine talkjon sport in general, givingthe boys some excellent advice. Healso had for each boy n short note ofgreeting and congratulations, with apicture, from Syl Apps, a personalfriend of Mr. Gosse. Austin Wilson thanked the speak­er. Mrs. Peyton Ranney thanked thegirls who catered. Greetings from “Bonny Scotland”were brought by Mr. Patton, a rela­ tive of one of the players, who had just arrived that day from the landof the heather. Keith Wilson voicedthe thanks and appreciation of theteam to Mr. Orville Nancekivell, thecoach.Mr. Passmore was asked to speak,and to present the small trophies tothe individual players. He remarked that he had viewed the game fromall angles—that of player, refereeand spectator—and he felt that itwas, in his opinion, the greatestgame of alL “Jake” Baskett, on be­ half of the team, thanked Mr. Pass- more and all thosp who had made it possible for them to receive such fine mementoes of their successful year in hockey. Russell Freurc acted as chairman. __The whole community of Zenda turned out March 25 to welcome to Canada and her new home a Polish girl who had just arrived to join her husband, Mikolaj Korzewicz, who had been working in the community for a year. Korzewicz had become a very valu­ able and popular member of the community and so everyone decided to show his wife, Helen, just what Canadian hospitality and friendliness meant. Scores gathered in the United Church basement and through SamBanbury expressed the hope that thecouple may spend many happy yearsas Canadian citizens. A small wagon­ load of gifts was pulled into the room by two youngsters. Two pair of blankets, a quilt, a set of dishes, an electric iron, table lamp, a bax of knives and forks and several jars of fruit along jrith many more articles of use in, the home were unwrapped by the excited couple. Mikolaj expressed his appreciationfor the kindness shown to his wileand himself, Mrs. Korzewicz, whodoesn’t speak English as yet, master­ed one word to express her feelings.She said, “thanks, thanks, thanks."Lunch was served by the ladies.During the evening Mrs. Cecil Burrill . . _r.------ ... ... ------ . .led in a sing song with Mrs. Harold termediate type of baseball Harrison at the piano. . 1 (Continued on page 10) Aboutown Sports The Ingersoll Turf Club finds itsway into the news this week withdiscussions on the advisability ofbringing a rodeo show to this fair town early in the ‘ summer. They have been approached by an exhi­bitionist from Alberta who has a show consisting of trick riding, rop­ ing, down and chuck wagon races. They are, it was learned, touring Ontario only as a warm-up for the Calgary Stampede, and if they do appear here they should provide very good entertainment. While your reporters were, withsingular intent, looking over the Turf Club setting up on Wellington South, much to their amazement they found a central portion of this area had been skimmed, and rcmarK- ably enough it closely resemblea a baseball diamond, upon further in vestigation two, low oddly-shaped wooden structures which could eas­ily be used as player dugouts ap­ peared on either side. It was thenthat the grandstand loomed up as apossibility for more than just v.ew-mg horse racing. The whole situa­tion appeared to he ideal for an in- and Canada-wide Broadcast Is Piped From Ingersoll History was made in a tiny toolroom in Ingersoll at 3:30 p.m. lastSaturday. For the first time, a pro­ gram on the Dominion network ofthe Canadian Broadcasting Corp, emanated from here. Unfortunately, no publicity was given beforehand, and many in Ing­ ersoll were unaware of the event until it was all over. For 15 minutes, Harold Wilson,who will drive Canada's challengerfor the -Harmsworth trophy; Mrs.Wilson, and Charlie Volker, Har­ old's mechanic, were interviewed byDon Fairbairn, of Neighborly News fame, on the new boat abuilding, the engine, and Canada's possibili­ ties in the race. The program was part of a now CJB.C. item, Saturday Magasine. Just before the Wilsons went on the air, skiing was being discussed in. Revelstoke, B.C., and then the program whisked over to -England, for the Oxford-Cambridge- rowing race, and a discussion about theGrand National Steeplechase. The Ingersoll program came outof a tiny basement room at the Ing­ersoll Machine Co., where the bigRolls-Royce Griffon engine is beingmodified for the new Miss CanadaIV hull being built in Gravenhurst.Don Fairbairn, no stranger to Inger­soll, together with Jack McCabe, C.B.C. special events producer, andRoly Anderson,'field supervisor, en­gineering, for the C.B.C., came downa day earlier to set up the room for the broadcast and arrange for the interviews. 1 Special wires were run into the little room, and then Anderson ar­ ranged about 150 pounds of equip­ ment around the small room. The microphone was set up beside the huge 2,500 horsepower engine, and the broadcast was done with all grouped around it. Don Fairbairn did the interview­ ing, Roly Anderson looked after allthe controls, and Jack McCabe gen­ erally supervised, tailing Don when to start talking, when to stop, and telling Roly when to reduce poweror to increase it, to give the best listening results. This was the first issue of Satur­ day Magazine and it was carriedover abdfat 30 stations across the country. —Tribune photo by Jimmy Smith Everything Dry, Be Careful With Fire, Chief’s Warning A warning to residents doing outdoor“spring cleaning" to be careful withtheir clean-up fires, w*as issued todayby Fire Chief Fred Ellis.He pointed out that dead grass, weedsand leaves are as dry as tinder now, andonce gets just a teeny bit out of hand itis liable to develop into a blaze of ser­ious consequences.The chief issued his warning follow­ing a call to the first grass fire of theyear.

The decision to amalgamate took place at a meeting of both groups at the Ingersoll "Y” March 24. The Ingersoll president, Dudley Shaw, became first president of the new organization. A publicity committeewas also formed, with Tony Kellerto look after the Woodstock clubpublicity, and George Telfer, theIngersoll end. It was decided to get membership cards printed and also exchange books. The exchange books were for surplus stamps of the members to circulate around both clubs, soeach member could benefit by get­ting stamps cheaper for his owncollection. It was also decided to discuss at the next meeting, in the.Y.M.C.A. at Woodstock, April 8, the matter of having an exhibition, put on by both dubs some time in the near future. Any members or stamp collectors from Oxford County are invited toattend the April meeting at 7.30. An Ingersoll Home and School Asso­ciation was formed Monday night at a meeting of enthusiasts in council cham­bers. M. G. Billings was nataed the firstpresident of the new organization, andthe following other officers were elect­ ed: Vice-Presidents. Mrs. DorothyCragg and Mrs. Walter Leaper; treas­urer, Mrs. W. Allen; recording secre­tary, Mrs. Earl Mills; correspondingsecretary, Mrs. Herman Lindsey. The following committee of five was elect­ed: Mr. Ted Bowman, Mrs. Vic. Shipton,Mrs. Robert Carr. Mrs. H. A. Wilson,and Mrs. A. Shapley.A. G. Murray, public school principal,is automatically on the executive.The group is to meet the third Mon­ day every month, with eight meetingsper year. Three committees were de­ cided upon—program, social and mem­bership. The question of another, homeeducation, will be considered later.

Hyde, inspector ofpublic schools for this area. Mrs. McLellan said the home andschool group was “an organizationyou'll be proud of." “It is not just aladies ’aid to the school.” she said. “Itenables you to play a vital part in thewelfare and education of your children.Not one teacher will deny that thechild’s home does enter into school.Parents and teachers are almost wholly responsible for pie upbringing of to­day's children And so must understandeach other and each other’s tasks.” The committee which nominated thefirst officers included: Mr. Murray, Mrs. Robert Foster, Mrs. A.

Better Business Head Addresses SO-EDS Ingersoll’s Great Fire, 1872 Wiped Out Business Area “Everything is pretty dry,” said thechief. "In this case about four acres were burned over and we had to reallyfight to save a couple of barns. Every­ one should be very careful." Members of the So-Ed Club of the Ingersoll Y.M.C.A. gathered at the “Y” last night to hear A. R. Haskell,general manager of the Toronto Better Business Bureau, Inc., dis­cuss the timely topic of "BetterBuying.”Mr. Haskell told of the manifoldwork being done by the Better Bus­ iness Bureaux located in. six Canadi­ an cities to establish better under­standing and mutual respect and Thames River. There were three orfour three-storey brick buildings on Thames St. and a very imposing hotel of which the town was very proud, but for the most part the stores and other business concerns were old wooden structures, many just one-room shacks. There were also here and there vacant spaces and several residences on both streets. Many Hitching PoitaIn those days the streets weregravel. A broken stone with aplank sidewalk on either side rais­ ed six or eight inches above thegutters. The streets were lined with hitching posts with iron rings or auger holes for hitching horses. Some of the posts were/fancy iron rods surmounted by horse heads, and in some cases rails were provid­ ed for tying up horses or teams. Themain streets were lit by gas lamps on iron standards and the lamp­lighter had to make his rounds atdusk and at daylight The Royal Exchange Hotel, an old wooden structure, stood at the corner of Thames and Charles Sts., on the site of our present post of­ fice, and the stables were at the rear, corner of Oxford and Charies. These buildings were owned ' by(Continued on page 10) There are few towns or villages in Western Ontario with a history dat­ ing back to 1793? One hundred and fifty-six years is a long period in a young country like Canada, but ifthere is any honor to be derivedfrom antiquity, Ingersoll is entitledto a share. There are few commun­ ities that have come through so many years that have not experienc­ ed serious setbacks or calamities in some shape or form, and Ingersoll is no exception to this rule. Possibly the most serious troubles visited on this town were those of 1812, 1832 and 1872. In 1812 the marauding bands of Yankees de­ stroyed our mill, some homes and nearly everything they thought might be of use to the Canadianarmy. In 1832 this community wassubjected to a severe outbreak ofyellow fever which took a huge toll of life among our most active citi­ zens, but in 1872 took place the greatest calamity of all, which de­ stroyed the greater part of our bus­ iness section and was known as the great fire of Ingersoll.

Library Centre of Culture More Should Use It Ingersoll is fortunate in having an excellent Public Library. It is extensively used by the citi­ zens, which is a proof that it is meeting a popular need in the community. The fact that it is so •widely used shows that the members of the Li­ brary Board and the library staff are progressive people who endeavor to give the town and dis­ trict the most modern library Service they can. Ingersoll's library is more than a depositary of books for the citizens to borrow. It is a cultural centre of the town. The library features inter­ esting displays of art and exhibits. It encourages clubs interested in books and crafts. One of the most important features of our li­ brary is the story hour for the boys and girls. This is more than a fill-in period for the children while mother goes shopping or does her housework—it is an essential part of the education of the child. Through the story hour, the boys and girls are given an insight into the treasury of literature that is to be found on the shelves of the library. It helps to start them dnthe right road to good reading. Juvenile delinquency can be attributed quite as much to wrong reading on the part of boys and girls as to any other contributing factor. The courteousness of the library staff makes a visit to the library a pleasure. They are always willing to assist in the selection of a book for pleasure reading or the pursuit of information on some subject No doubt, the members of the board and the staff realize that the library in Ingersoll is greatly appreciated. The extent to which it is used and the commendatory remarks they receive indicate to them that their work is highly valued. How­ ever, we feel that commendation through these columns should be expressed on behalf of all the citizens for the splendid library services which we enjoy in Ingersoll. We feel that it is one of the best libraries to be found in any centre— large or small. newspaper pal from Toronto, nearly killing him­ self. He had baited us, and we had bit—hook, line, sinker and pole. - It would have been a terrible blow to all those who have labored for so long and so hard to raise Ingersoll’s modern >500,000 hospital, to have read The Toronto Star’s description of it in a brief news item. “At an estimated cost of 3500,000,” read the report, "the hospital—Is expected to be completed in a year. It will have a capacity of 6 beds and 16 bassinets and will replace the present out-dated building.” The Star has been informed that we in Ingersoll are neither that small, nor that prolific. We were in Laura Secord’s home, or rather the site of her home, this week. We're willing to bet that very few in Ingersoll know Laura Secord grew up here, let alone know the site of her former home. It is nowhere indicated by sign, plaque or literature available to the public, local or tourist. The site is Gayfer’s drug store and this week Mr. Gayfer kindly showed us the deed by which Thom­ as Ingersoll, .Laura’s father, bought 200 acres, which includes Gayfer’s and The Tribune and a lot more along Thames St. down the river, for 88 pounds, plus delivery of 50 barrels of salmon to the mouth of the Credit River. We think there should be a plate on Gayfer’s store, or in the side­ walk, telling of the connection with one of Cana­ da’s greatest heroines. In the Chamber of Com­ merce’s new drive to “sell” Ingersoll, there should be art attractive booklet telling not only of our present and possibilities for the future, but of our, interesting, dramatic, historical past Ingersoll is known at the moment for its cheese and for hav­ ing possibly the worst roads of any community in the country. No more. Many though, think watches are made here. In the booklet, could be told the story of Laura, of Aimee Semple Macpherson, of the world’s largest cheese, drawn by 16 horses, of the great fire, and the rebuilding, of some of the world's fastest speedboats. Let us have postcards, interesting enough to mail home, which will do the same. In short, let’s take the veil from our colorful past and achievements and possibilities, and tell the world about them.

Children with legs looking long and bare without their snow-suits, children with roller skates and skipping ropes and a dog or two, came trouping in all morning, demanding books about SPRING. “A book about maple syrup?" We found one. “Oh, boy.I’ve got a book on maple syrup.”“About a snowdrop?” Coudn’t findthat, but one about spring wild­ flowers proved just as attractive. “Bunnies?" Well, there was The Happy Rabbit, and The Bunny with The Magic Nose, and Rabbit Hill, and The Country Bunny, but some­ body had already borrowed them. “Birds?” Lots of them. And Easter stories too. And so on. By 11.30 itwas fairly peaceful again and 80children’s books had been borrowed Scouts By Scouter Scribe The regular Scout meeting was held March 25 at headquarters.

We do so without apology, for the prompt collection of money today is an absolute necessity. None of you are permitted to let your bill with the grocer, the butcher or the feed dealer run one or two years behind—and a newspaper is operated on the same principle. The publisher must meet all his payments for machinery and paper within_30 days . . . and we can't meet payments without revenue. And what’s more, if we didn't possess enough intelli­ gence to collect our accounts we could hardly ex­ pect an intelligently edited newspaper.” We have just finished sending out a long list of similar bills, and all we can say to the above is, amen! Hey! That’s Mine My country! My wife! My children! My house!My dog! My car! The possessive instinct developsearly in each of us and is one of the strongest ofall human traits. A good thing, too. Few menwill not fight, and die if need be, for "mycountry.”We observe a strange anomaly, however. Inthe catalogue of things about which men andwomen feel most possessive “my town” seems to come pretty far down the list. Why? It hardlyseems to make much sense. Nevertheless it is sq.Particularly in large communities the traditionof public service is, to all intents 'and purposes,dead. Many a man who will gladly serve ardu­ously as an officer of his club, will coldly refusepublic appointment. The result is that most muni­ cipal offices in big cities are* filled from the ranksof professional politicians rather than by those who are most capable.It seems to us that "my town” should comeright after my “country” in each man’s affection; that it has a nearly equal claim on his energiesand time and that service to the communityshould be souht after, not shunned or acceptedonly as an unwelcome chore.—From OakvilleRecord-Star.

If Pioneers Could See Chain Saw A farmer in Downie Township wha owns a bushlot in which some of the big trees came to theage when they are due for cutting, hired a manand a chain saw the other day at three dollars perhour. In a day he had cut down and hewn intocordwood lengths, enough trees to do his house­hold for many months. He stated that to cut down a big elm tree and trim off the big branches andto cut it into three foot lengths consumed less than half an hour with this slick little chain sawoutfit, operating on a few pints of gasoline-When one thinks of the heart-breaking spectacleof primeval forest which confronted the first set­tlers in this district, and how they, armed onlywith.an axe and a couple of wedges, succeeded inclearing the land of very heavy bush, one begins to realize the tremendous advances that engineer­ing has made.

We think John Labatt’s “good Samaritan on the highway” service as one of the nicest bits of public relations we’ve ever tasted. As all motor­ ists know, if you get into trouble on the highway —flat tire, engine trouble, slight accident, any­ thing—the moment a Labatt truck comes into sight your troubles are over. He stops and he is yours until you’re on your way again. There is no charge. Your thanks, preferably in a-note to head office, are all that are expected. Many people are indebted to these knights of the road. While many will consider this service strictly an advertising device, it is obvious the courteous helpfulness stems from the characteristics of the man who runs the company, John S. Labatt. We say this from experience. Our car went in the ditch. A Labatt man drove it out We telephoned our thanks to the main office. A personal note from (Mr. Labatt, a busy president of a busy company, thanked us. Sure it’s advertising, but only some­ one interested in helping his fellow man could in­ stitute such a scheme. This week we are a perfect example of thb axiom that crime does not pay. Two weeks ago we were in Toronto for a hockey game. Goin* in on King St, we had to go north on Yonge St We had a sneaky suspicion left turns were banned on to Yonge, but we were behind a streetcar, and we couldn’t see a sign and besides w© didn’t want to go meandering around a few blocks to get back to 'Yonge, so we made the left turn. All seemed well until we took a closer look at the car immediately in front of us. Yep, a police cruiser. The summons arrived during the week. Sunday Night Radio Sunday night radio in the United States hasbecome too nearly an equivalent of old-time Sat-. urday vaudeville. And the so-what is that a good. many radios are silent on Sunday evenings,A few programs do keep above the generallevel but they are so few that the Northern Bap- ■ tist Convention recently called national attentionto the dearth of musical and other cultural mat­ erial offered by American radio systems on Sun­day evenings. And shortly before that the Chris­tian Century carried comment on the same sub-' ‘ject. “It’s a long time”, says the Christian Cen­ tury, “since one editorial paragraph has produced.so many letters to the editor.”? W’ell. for many of us Sunday is just a bit dif­ferent from other days. It begins, on a differentnote and pursues a quieter tone, and by eveningmany family circles are in a mood for conversa--..tion or other entertainment somewhat removedfrom the pressure of the assembly line and therasp of the juke box. But down in radio row,aparently, Sunday night is just like any other,only more so.Presumably the broadcasting systems knowwhat they think the public wants. So we hope itwasn’t too presumptuous of the editors of Chris­tian Century to hint that radio has a presentlyuntapped audience—" a large audience indiffer­ent to or positively repelled by the present Sun­day evening network fare”-—or isn’t too presump­tuous of us to pass the hint along.—Christian- -Science Monitor. A meeting in the interests of A. S. Rennie of Tillsonburg, Liberal candidate in the forthcoming by­ election was held in the town hall on Wednesday evening. Dr. H. G.Furlong, president of the South Ox­ford Liberal Association, acted aschairman. Speakers were Hon. W.D. Euler, M.P., Waterloo and Fred G. Sanderson, M.P., South Perth, in addition to Mr. Rennie. Officers of the reorganized Wo­ men’s Conservative Association of Ingersoll, were elected ns follows at a meeting held recently: Presi­dent, Mrs. R. Crotty; Vice-Presi­dents, Mrs. E.'Ridley, Mrs. W.

San­ dick; 5, Mr* F.'Wood; 6, Mr* W. Elford. We were among the crowd down to meet Prime Minister Louis St Laurent when he made his brief visit to Ingersoll recently. As the train came to a stop and the prime minister and his party started to leave it, a voice said: “Where is the publisher of the local newspaper; I want to facet the editor.” Our chest filled out, we quickly took a new air of dignity; the prime minister had beard about us already, wanted to meet u* We stepped forward proudly, but the P.M. went right by. Suddenly we were face to face with an old Lion To Lamb? March came in like a lion but who cares tosay this year that the old adage has much chanceof being observed, so that this gusty, tempestu­ ous month may go out like a lamb? In an ordin­ary year when the seasons live up to what ex­perience has taught should be their proper role,one might easily believe that if March comesin like a lion it would necessarily go oat like the proverbial lamb. This would be comforting for itwould assure those of us who now shiver in thisunexpected chill that we shall be w»rm and sun­tanned four weeks from now. After what hashappened in California and in the Western' plains states, anything can happen. It is possible thatMarch, 1949, may come in like a lion and departthe same way.

Little Black Sambo and His Jungle Band performed on the new record player at the Story Hour, and Miss Furlong’s collection of stories included Tales After Tea, by EnidBlyton, an English author, who hasrecently won every, child’s heartwith her many books and stories. Monday night sees another youth­ ful invasion when an enthusiastic group gathers long before sever, o’clock for Miss Beattie’s Art Class. The last two weeks they also have been using the new record playerwhich Mr. Albrough donated to thelibrary. They have been listeningto Saint-Saen’s Carnival of the Ani­mals and with their imagination thus stimulated, have been painting wonderful elephants and fishes and swans and turtles and lions.” And Miss Beattie, you could take the best ones we did and put them in a row and have it just like the music.”And that is what will be done.Recently the newly formed Air­plane Club asked permission to hold meetings in the basement, so Tues­ day night brings another group, absorbed in model airplanes, to the library, and strange sounds of saw­ ing and smells of mucilage emerge from belowvstairs.Adults may perhaps feel a bi!pushed to one side on such occas- ions, but there is always some time left to hunt up answers to such re­ cent requests as these. A design for a raffia basket. How to sew fur. How to make a kitchen cupboard. A colour scheme for a bathroom. Wordsworth’s political views. Mat­ erial on the St. Lawrence Water­way. What is the play Liliom about.Does Labrador belong to Newfound­land. Scandinavian food. A costume for an angel. A list of the library’s material about Ingersoll. Calvinism at Geneva. Jokes, Speeches. And the perennial request for something “really good to read.” This (Thursday) evening the Amateur Authors are planning tomeet at the library, and nextThursday there will be the monthlymeeting of The Book Club whichwill be addressed by Mrs. J. M. Malcolm on books for Easter. S GRANDSONS BEAR CASKET AT SERVICE Six grandsons were pallbearers at the funeral of Mrs. Alexina Suther­ land, 93, to Dorchester Union Ceme­ tery.

It used to be on the south side.During the terrible windstorm which swept through these parts in the late 30’s, it was picked up, whirled around a few times and set down in its present location. “Another interesting fact is that the flume which brings water to the ’ lime hydrator was not built by hum­ an hands. It was cut in "the earth by a bolt of lightning about thesame time the wind moved the quar­ry. This flume is braced and linedinside by C.P.R. rails, the samelightning bolt having ripped up one mile of C.P.R. track and the intense magnetism laced these rails in the flume where they are today. “Great advances have been made in our blasting technique as well. It has been perfected to such a degree that when a dynamite charge is set. off it does not merely blast out the rock but causes it to arc through the air and automatically descend into the kilns.“These kilns are the only indus­ try in the world run by atomic ener­gy. For the benefit of those whodo .not understand the procedure, the atoms are poured into smallspouts on the kilns by means of oilcans.“As soon as the laboratory at this plant has its rocket ships ready, it is planned to contract for quarrying rights on the moon where we under­ stand there is a lot of limestone. “But enough.

The annual meeting of the Mount Aid the Crippled Is Kiwanis Plea An appeal for contributions to the Easter Seal campaign in aid ofOntario’s—and Ingersoll’s — crip­pled children, was made in a recentbroadcast over £KOX by L. A. Westcott, of the Kiwanis Easter Seal committee. “The Kiwanis Club of Ingersoll is working, in conjunction with the Ontario Society for Crippled Chil­ dren, not only in the appeal to thepublic to buy Easter Seals, but inall their worthwhile efforts on be­ half of the crippled children of the province,” he said. “As chairman of the child wel­ fare and crippled children’s com­ mittee of the Kiwanis Club of Ing­ ersoll for the past three years, I have had an opportunity of observ­ing the heartaches of some of thesechildren, and then when the prom­ise of some relief or improvement in their condition, and, in a great many cases, complete cure was un­ folded to them, their joy and grati­ tude was a pleasure to behold, and fully repays one for all the time and trouble he has taken in looking af­ ter these cases and doing what hecan to give the child a chance for a normal life. “To carry on this work requires a lot of money. The sale of Easter Seals is the only appeal now made by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children to raise money for this work. They are depending on thecitizens of Ontario to contribute generously to this appeal, but thecrippled children are the ones who will suffer if you and I fall down on this campaign. “One of the major activities of the Kiwanis Club of Ingersoll is the work of looking after the crippled children of the district The Ki­ wanis Club pays the necessary hos­pital bills, and buys the various ap­ pliances needed by the children, and in the 25 years of service which the Kiwanis Club has given to Ingersoll WITH GOOD WEATHER AHEAD MAKE SURE YOUR CAR IS ADEQUATELY INSURED TO MEET ANY EVENTUALITY Consult: MOON & MOON General Insurance Agents Real Estate PHONE - 468 (Jack Love • Associate) Elgin Women’s Institute will be heldApril 12 at the home of Mrs. F.

Dutton, corresponding secretary of the society, to prepare the history of the organization. The last chapter of the study book,“West of the Gorges,” was taken byMrs. Dodgson and Mrs. Anderson. and district, dozens of children have been made able to walk and lead a normal life, through the efforts of the Kiwanis Club, whereas without this effort, the children would have been handicapped for life. In some cases of course, complete cure is not possible, but any improvement in the child’s condition is worthwhile, and the fact that even one child has been made able to walk or to lead a normal life, physically, is worth­ while.“We are therefore appealing to every man and woman, or any per­ son earning money, to help in this worthwhile work and buy Easter Seals in support of the Ontario So­ ciety for Crippled Children. “The Kiwanis Club of Ingersoll is desirous of assisting any and every crippled child in this district who needs help—so if you know of acrippled child who requires assist­ ance, give his *name and address to Mr. Robert Foster, manager of the Royal Bank at Ingersoll, or to Mr. Walter Thurtell at Thurtell's Drug Store, president of the Ingersoll Ki­ wanis Club, and the child will re­ ceive prompt attention. And re­ member—every dollar you spendfor Easter Seals helps in the workof looking after these crippled chil­ dren, and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have done something to make the life of these children happier, brighter, and bet­ ter.” .

Thur*ton Zone Forester An important part of woodlot management is harvest of the tree crop. Trees must bt harvested, as must all other-crops. It is when you start to cut the trees in a well-man­ aged woodlot that increased finan­ cial returns may show up. Higher quality products will have been grown, thus bringing a higher price on the market. Trees should be cut when theymature, otherwise decay will set in and a lower price must be taken for logs or wood with rot present! The practice of cutting only dead or dying trees is foolish, and econ­ omically unsound. Every tree not cut at maturity, and allowed to rot, represents lost money to thefarmer. If this fact is not realized, the whole idea of woodlot manage­ment is useless. Harvesting the woodland crop at the proper time is as much a part of woodlot man­ agement as are improvement cut­ tings and thinnings.The best plan is lor a farmer tocut the trees himself and sell thelogs. The practice of selling logs on the stump is generally unsound. It may result in excessive damage to young growth if a mil) operator does the cutting. However, if a farmer cuts his own trees, he can take steps and care to keep the damage toyoung growth to a minimum. If logs are to be sold by the Doyle Rule, it will not pay a far­ mer to cut and sell the smaller- sized trees, as he will not get full value for his logs. Small trees of 10 or 12 inches in diameter willincrease greatly in value in thenext few years if left to grow. Trees of that size, when they have increased three inches in diameter will more than double their board foot volume. The length of time for them to double their volume ismuch shorter than the length oftime it has taken to grow to 10 or j12 inches. Thus, it can be readily seen that it will pay a farmer toleave the smaller, healthy trees until they reach a more profitable size. The Department of Lands and Forests, through their Zone Forest­ ers, will mark trees for cutting for any land owner, thus enabling a farmer to be sure that the trees he cuts will make his operation econ­omically successful. Before selling logs, it will often pay a farmer to make inquiries of log buyers as to price, so he may get the best prices possible. Soundmarketing principles will help to* make woodlot management more ap­ pealing to everyone. Thus, if a farmer, by shopping around, can secure a higher price for his pro­ duct, he wil] benefit more from his management practices.

The Kids led at the half 21-20, and in poss­ibly the most exciting game seen in town this year, the "old men” went ahead in the 2nd half to post a 30-23 margin in pqints.Jarrett, Land and Barrow were the big guns for the kids with 12,11, and 10 points respectively while Cook led the “old men" with 22 points, Arnott scored 11 and Arm­ strong, 7.This was to be the last game of the "Y” season, but the rumourfloating around town -is that the “old men” were lucky and the kids don’t think they can do it again. It looks as if another challengewill come from the young men, this time, to take on the “old crocks” again. ____________________ BUSINESS GIRLS BRING OPERA HERE The Young Business Girls’ Club is sponsoring the London Light Op­ era Company in St- James parish hall April 8.

Callander’s Warning “Motorists must start now to think of every child on the road as a human caution sign,” says Xk>rp. J. W. Callander, warning approach of spring always increases the number of traffic accidents invol­ ving children. “Every year, in March, there is a sudden jump in the number of child accident cases,” he said, “and then the flood of tragedies keeps growing month by month until the late fall. “It usually takes at least two to make an accident; often a driver and a pedestrian. Children are nor­ mally pedestrians, and pedestrians usutlly come off seceond-best in any collision with a car. It’s the child­ ren who suffer the consequences. Child psychologists say there are definite limits to the training of children in avoidance of accident hazards. They may seem careless, but really they are just carefree. “But motorists are supposed to to be responsible people of mature judgment They are supposed to to know they should be extra cau­ tious and vigilant when driving anywhere near children; to assume that children will do what they least expect, and to be prepared for it “That little fellow romping at the curb may run onto the road without warning. Those parked cars you are about to pass may be a death trap about to spring an un­ wary child across your path. As you back out of your driveway, don't wait until you feel a soft bump before looking to see if the way is clear.“On the other hand, it is well known children learn by example. If mother dashes across against the red light, her youngster can hardly be expected to behave safely on streets. If older brothers and sisters or anyone else ignore traffic haz­ ards, what sort of habits will the ad­ miring small-fry develop?” “Here is your new driver’s exam, not in the formal traffic laws, but in the commonsense safety rules which may prevent tragedies to young lives: Watch for children?Drive slowly with extra tion whenever I see child- dren and in school zones or residential areas, whether I see children or not? Keep clear of bicycles? Look out for children dart­ ing out from between parked cars?Try to anticipate the unex­ pected whenever I see child- dren playing in or near the street?’ “Unless you can answer 'yes’ with a clear conscience to all of these five questions, you can’t 2.cau- LET US HELP YOU PLAN YOUR KITCHEN Free Illustrated Literature Beaver Lumber Co., Limited PHONE 26 INGERSOLL Subscribe to The Tribune.

The shoppe formed the clever and unusual setting for the 13th annual Style Show sponsored by the Eve­ ning Guild of St. James’ Anglican Church, presented Thursday and Friday evenings in the parish hall. From the doors of the “Lilli-Anne” stepped the models who displayed 1949’s fashion dictates for both the feminine and masculine worlds andfor all ages from the toddler to theattractive matron or handsome young business man. Rev. Carman J. Queen, rector ofSt. James’, spoke briefly, welcomingthe very large audiences and ex­ pressing appreciation of the supportaccorded the Evening Guild by the public and by the merchants whose co-operation made possible the Style Show. Mrs. Howard Rilfy, president, echoed this appreciation and introduced tho commentator, •Mrs. LeRoy Haycock, whose descrip­ tions and running comments on fa­ shion details and style trends added much to the interest of the showing.Mr. Eddie Ide at the piano provided a musical background, choosing mel­ odies to suit the mood of the mom­ ent. Navy Predominates From the stage, a ramp, carpeted in green and edged with spring flowers, extended the length of the hall, an arrangement which afforded all the spectators opportunity to ob­ serve the detail which is so import­ ant in this year’s fashions. Empha­ sized were the “buttons and bows” of the more feminine costumes of 1949. The fabrics, especially fine, lend themselves to the draping, the soft fullness of unpressed pleats, orto the pencil-slim lines of thestraight skirt.' Navy predominatedas the color choice, but popular too were the warm reds, the soft grays and the clear pastels, For the la­ dies, crisp cotton frocks, sport cos­ tumes, smartly tailored and dress­ maker suits, afternoon and “after- five” dresses and evening gowns were modelled, each with the smart­ est of accessories, jewellery and make-up as accent.Fine fabrics and attention to de­ tail were noted too in the men’s clothing displayed.

Ray Lawson, lieutenant-governor of Ontario, Fri­ day challenged the younger genera­ tion here to take a second glande atthe secure future and prosperity ofMiddlesex County and Ontario be­fore its spirit of adventure guided itto what looked like greener pas­ tures. In an address at the opening cere­ monies of this village’s first com­ munity hall, the province’s first citi­ zen said: "I wish to say to the young men in this area who 'might be rest­ less for a change, that I urge them to give careful thought before leav­ ing Middlesex County and the Prov­ ince of Ontario.”“If duty or spirit of adventure calls you to some other place, thinkagain before you leave our glorious Province of Ontario.” Tribute To Pioneers Mr. Lawson said it would be wel­ come for such potential rovers to remember that the greatest wealth, the greatest industrial development and the highest standards of living are found on the northern fringe of the United States, adjacent to Cana­ da, where the climate, the soil and the gifts of nature closely match, but in no way excel those of On­tario.The lieutenant-governor, whoseancestors farmed in this area formany years, paid high tribute tothe community and pioneer spirit of the village population. He said that the community hall, which cost the village $14,000 in cash and an un- estimable price in voluntary effort, time, thought and care, was another example of the progressive and ag­ gressive activities of the commun­ ities that constitute the Province of Ontario. H.1I Reconstructed The two-stqrey brick structure, the village memorial to the fallen of World War II, and known as the Dorchester Community Memorial Hall, w.i purchased by the village last year. It was formerly the Or­ ange Hall. The outright purchase cost the community some $7,000 and a further $7,000 has been spent in conversion and reconstruction. It houses now a large basement banquet hall, an auditorium on thefirst floor, complete with stage anda new hardwood floor marked forbadminton, a community room forinstitute and local meetings on thesecond floor and the community li­ brary.Much of the work has been doneby local volunteers, spearheaded by a municipality-appointed board of trustees.Roger* Pr»»id«» Jack Rogers, senior, chairman of the b?ard, presided over the ban­ quet and opening ceremonies. Other members of the board include: Lome Shackleton, reeve of North Dorchester Township, and George Roulston as township council repre­ sentatives; Jack Rogers, Jr., Mrs. William White, Lou Crocker, and Jack Hunt. The other representa­ tive. appointed by the council are Is Awarded le Trophy drawn from the local Chamber of Commerce, the Athletic Association and the Women’s Institute. Leo J. Gent, a London lawyer, and former member of the board, is secretary.Mr. Lawson was introduced byHarry Allen, M.L.A., South Middle­sex, and thanked by Rev. WilliamTaylor of Dorchester UnitedChurch. Prior to his address that climaxed the opening ceremonies, Mr. Law- son presented windbreakers to the Dorchester Hockey Club, winners of the O.R.H.A. intermediate “A” league for South Oxford, and win­ ners of the Fleischer & Jewett cupfor the 12-team league competition. Ross Fewstcr, president of the S.O.R.H.A., presented a special tro­phy donated by The Ingersoll Tri­bune for the most valuable playfcr inthe- league this year to Jack Camp­bell of Dorchester.Mr. Lawson shid the presentationsgave him double pleasure when he found out that his cousin, Art Law- son, was manager of the triumphal team. Land Of Opportunity Mr. Lawson said "Ontario is a land of opportunity, and sometimesI wonder wherther we fully appreci­ate our great heritage. Our 4,000,-000 prosperous healthy, happy, edu­cated people possess a standard oflivihg in the top ranks of the world's best,” He uttered a word of warning on immigrants. “We must at all times see that these immigrants are wor­ thy. It is true^we have opportun­ ities unlimited for workers, but we have no room for shirkers. “All coming to our shores mustrealize that it is a privilege to comeand to settle in this our country."“Our Canadian democracy mustsurvive in this world where freedomhaS been blotted out in many coun­ tries and is threatened in all, and for our survival^ oqr citizens mustbe politically mature and awake.” “PRINCESS O’TOOLE” ENJOYED BY CROWDS A traditional Irish play was pre­ sented in Sacred Heart Hall by the Young Ladies* Sodality of Sacred Heart Parish, by arrangement with Samuel French (Canada), Limited. This year, “Princess O’Toole,” a three-act comedy was the choice. Di­ rectors were Miss Kay Hill, Miss Margaret Tailant, and Rev. Father Glavin.

The fire started about 8 o’clock on the evening of May 7, 1872, in the stables of the Royal Exchange Hotel, corner of Oxford and Charles, while the buildings were supposed to be unoccupied, and theorigin of the fire was never discov­ered. The wind blew to the southand east So rapidly did the fire travel througtt the old frame build­ ings, that when it had burned itself out nearly all of both sides of Thames St between Charles and King were gone, except one, a two- storey large brick structure that helped to stay the progress of the fire, and most of Oxford St., up tothe market square, where Bowman’sHotel was the last victim. King St.East was saved by the strenuous ef­forts of McIntyre’s men, the large brick buildings next to them and the , aid of the London Fire Company. Why Ingersoll had not suffered a 1 similar calamity much sooner is hard to explain. Nearly all the (business section was of frame con- (struction and in no way fireproof. ' We had at that time three fire com- <panics, one situated on the present I site of the gate tower at the Thames St. crossing of the C.N.R., one at market building, and a third in a building at the rear of Old King’s Mill, or present site of Mr. Fulton'schopping mill. Each company wasprovided with a hand pumper, a reelof hose and a club room where they met for instruction and social eve­ nings. The writer once had an op­ portunity to read the minutes of the jfire company at King’s Mill and can recall some of the names on the roll as John Frizell, Robert Leighton, Robert Monroe, John Lahey, Henry, Smale, Phillip Mudge, John Bower,I James McDonald, Edward Dixon,and others. These men pumped and carried water all night, during the fire. They pumped and carried buck­ ets in relays until they were ex­ hausted and stories were told that of some, their hands and arms were sostiff in the morning they could notremove their own coats.

All kidding aside, it would be nice to see a regeneration of the spirit of such sportsmen as James Grieve, Dr. Ralph Williams, and the late Dolph Staples, who pi­loted Ingersoll teams to champion­ships in the past. It has been said more than once you cannot prop­erly coach youngsters when they arenot seeing any better baseball thanthey themselves are playing.

ST. PHONE 602 The fire travelled so fast and fur­ ious soon panic and confusion seem­ ed to seize hold on everyone. Goods were removed across the street only to be moved again. Goods were damaged in moving. Some wereremoved by thieves ever ready toprofit by the misfortunes of others.Stores of bottled goods were an easy prey to many. Two men lost their lives while endeavoring to salvage goods, Mr. Paine- lost his life trying to save stock in R. H. Young’s sad­ dlery shop, and John Omand was trapped by a falling wall in Fawks’jewelry store. The fire wiped out the homes or places of business of over 80 people or firms. Many witnessed the work of nearly a lifetime fall a prey to the flames. Many of these once fam­ iliar names have past from our mun­ icipal list of names and in some cases members of the next or even a later generation are carrying on business on the s£me street. Theblackened ruins of yesterday havebeen obliterated by bigger and bet­ter homes of trade and business, giv­ing evidence of the courage of our people to withstand hard times.The writer has before him theminutes of the King Hiram No. 37Lodge meeting in lodge of emerg­ ency on the 28th day of May, 1872, to hear the report of the committee appointed to seek new quarters for the lodge, they having had the Mas­ onic Hall destroyed in the fire. The minutes and records had been saved by Mr. William A. Woolson and an­ other member of the lodge, thus preserving the oldest continuous written records of any organizationin this town.

Mon­day night was the sad, decidinggame with the locals losing with a score of 6-2 and 9-7 in the round. ■Roy Bonner opened up early in the first period netting the first goal, while Gus Cussons soon tallied the second. The spirit of the pucksters was dampened considerably when the spark of the team, Jack Lewis, was clipped in the face with a skate and was unable to appear on the iceagain.
