Serious Situation ——— — "It is a serious situation,” said Mr. R,W. Green, chairman of the board. "We have to get going right away.”A school with 17-20 rooms, capable of handling 500 or more students, is plan­ned, and nearly all the communities af­ fected are said convinced of the needfor the school. However, the question of apportionment of costs, and certainother details have to be ironed out, andit is to "clear the air,’’* and get agree­ ment on these details that the special meeting has been called.Those communities affected are: Ing­ ersoll, North Oxford, East Nissouri,West Zorra and West Oxford. The meet­ ing will be in council chambers. Prev­ious efforts to get all communities to­ gether have failed, but it is hoped theurgency of the situation will bring all together this time, and produce a unitythat will enable work on the new high school to be commenced this year."All matters relating to education in this area will be discussed.’’ Mr. Greensaid.

A full investigation into all phases surrounding installation of Ingersoll’s new sewer system was demanded Mon­ day night by George Preston, former councillor and member of the Ratepay­ ers* Association, when he appeared be­fore town council. His demand was echoed by Stanley J. Smith.Mr. Preston asked how much of the $75,000 obtained to repair Ingersoll'sstreets remained. ‘None,” said R. E. Winlaw, townclerk."None," echoed Preston. "Where is it?”“On the streetswas the reply. "Some of the streets on the north sideof town are in deplorable condition,” said Mr. Preston. “Where are you go­ing to get the money to fix them?” ‘‘Some rich citizen, maybe,” smiledMayor Murray. ‘The public,” said Councillor Healy. "People Been Bled” /•Why. the public have been blednow,” charged Mr. Preston. "We should have a full investigation and see wherethe money's gone.” Mr. Preston questioned action of thecouncil in having contractors lay lateraltile for $2.90 a foot, when individuals had offered to do it for $150.“I don’t think council did right” he said. "They should be trying to savethe people money, not bleed them.” Councillor Wurker said council ad­vised use of a contractor, because the taxpayer would have protection hewould not get from a “fly-by-nighter,” Mr. Preston then alleged he had seen50 feet of sewer trench not staved, or boarded up to protect trench workers."You never saw that here in your life,” retorted Councillor Morrison.“I was up there and saw it,” charged Mr. Preston. “Why didn't you?” heasked Mr. Wurker, who also denied the charge."I haven't got the time you have to stay up there,” Mr. Wurker retorted. Had Full Protection “They had full protection,” said Mr. Morrison. ..............“They did not,” differed Mr. Pres­ton. Mr. Preston estimated it would costanother $40,000 to repair the streets. Mr. Smith said Thames St. N. wouldhave to be paved all over again. There were huge holes there, he said, one sobig a whole truckload of gravel was dumped into it."Maybe a couple of lawsuits would speed things up,” he said, "and we'dsee who is responsible. I’d like to see them fix my street as well as qualityhill” Mayor Murray told Councillor Ran­ger, works committee chairman, street work was away behind, particularlywith reference to grading and clean­ing. “We*re getting further behind all the time,” \he said. "Streets aren’t sweptthat should be. I’m getting telephone calls at home all the time.”A meeting "to get everything straightened out”, was called on themayor’s suggestion.

Still Clogs Away At 96 Wants To Live to Be 100 James Harris has a big ambition. It’s to live to be 100. He really hasn’t got very far to go—just four years—because he was 96 yester­ day."Candles on my cake,” he scof­ fed, as he clogged into the Tribune office. "Where’d you get a cake big enough?”Mr. Harris is famous as perhaps the oldest clog dancer in existence.He’s clogged thousands of miles, and expects to go quite a few more, Jimmy says he was bom in South London (England, that is) iq 1854, and came out to Canada when around 50. He’s spdpt a great deal of his life with shows. Done a spot of farming, then- worked at Mor­row’s. "But I haven’t done any work now for years.". , "You know,” he said, clogging n few more steps/’ at the age of 79 no one wanted me. I don’t under­ stand it, why I can still dance rings around these kids of 50 or so. I just love dancing.” Mr. Harris has a son, Jbe. in Florida; a daughter in Woodstock, Mrs. Charlotte Springhall, and two daughters in Ingersoll, Mrs. Re­ becca Claire, King Hiram S t and Mrs. Thomas Fordham,: Oxford Ave. There is also a daughter- in Eng­ land. ‘iGosh, I Jove dancing,” he said, skipping out of the office.

Well, son,” he chuckled, “I’ll tell you. Non-smoker—not too touch drink—and don’t worry about any­ thing. Why I’ve had shows and lost them; had money and lost it; had property right here in town, and lost it—but you never catch me Weekly Is Best Medium Importance of retailer* advertising in their weekly newspapers was emphasized by Nelson McFarland of Long Branch, Ont., at the rocent Ontario Retail Hardware Association convention in Toronto. "Wo are definitely sold on advertising in oar store and hare ran the gaumnt of advertising experience and experimentation,” Im told the hard-headed hardwaremen, according to a report In Hardware and Metal. "It is oar considered opinion that the best medians for reaching largo masses over an extended area i» the local weekly newspaper. We have the misfortune of being located at thn end of the business section and only by consistent and dynamic adver­ tising hare we maintained a high sales volume. "Many of as are small retailors operating in small local areas where they hare these small weekly newspapers. These papers are close to the community, they are frieusUy and intimate, and sub- seribers-read them from cover to oarer. Your ad cannot help but snake a terrific fampreaaion. L. B.

Model Plane Club Formed In Ingersoll A mpdel airplane dub has been formed in Ingersoll under the spon­ sorship of the Kiwanis .Club. The boys range from public school to boys out of school; from the greenest beginner to boya who fly planes with motors. They have the basement of the library, at no cost, each Tuesday evening from 7:30 to 10. The junior kids leave at 8;30. There are several older boys who instruct the juniors, for example, Don Martin, Mac Hyde, and chaps like Ted Fleischer, Jr., Stew Thur- tell and others. There have been 18 out at a meeting. "It is,” said Kiwanis President Walt ThurtcJl, "to my mind a fine opportunity for Kiwanis to add an­ other activity which will give some of our members something worth while to do and it means a group of boys kept off the street and busy at something valuable.” The model plane committee is: Abe Jewett, chairman; John Miller, director; Tom Lee, vice-chairman; Laurie Hyde, Bob Adams, and Frank Fulton. Abe will soon be back. The boys will have their own of­ ficers and organization. 60 Years With Post Office Sam to Grow Big Roses “Boy,” said Sam, “will I be able togrow some roses now!” Everyone, for miles around, from theyoungest to the oldest, knows Sam. He’s Samuel A. (for nothing) Gibson, andSam had just received notice from Ot­ tawa that after 60 years’ service with In­gersoll’s postoffice he is being retiredMay 1. In the same mail Robert W. Wark, of the Ingersoll staff, was in­formed he would be succeeding Mr. Gibson as postmaster. "Now.” said Sam, waving a trusty lacrosse stick about, “now, for a realholiday." Sam, who more than anyone elsecould bear the title "Mr. Ingersoll,” is in his 78th year. He was only 17 when,at the request of his dad. Postmaster Joseph Gibson, he joined the postofficestaff. The office then was on the east side of Thames street, almost opposite the Imperial Bank. "Temporary Charge” For five years, Mr. Gibson, who has devoted his whole life to a multitude ofcommunity interests, worked in "gener­al delivery," Then for 27 years he was < in money order and savings, and assist­ ant postmaster to his dad. His father,as great an athlete as his son, died in1920. One of Sam’s possessions is a let­ ter dated Dec. 3, 1920, from Charles E.Fifher. post office inspector, paying tribute to his father and asking Sam totake “temporary charge” of the office. That ’temporary" charge lasted a bitover 28 years. But even when Sam packs up May 1,to get on with his roses and his prize Silkies, and his reflections, the Gibson family, synonymous with postage In In­gersoll since 1882, will maintain its link through Sam’s son. Ralph, a member ofthe staff. And naturally Sam will be back once in a while just to make sureeverything is in order. Subscribers Please No te!

Toronto Group Takes Control Of Riley Cheese A Toronto group Jieaded by Mar­ shalls Co. Ltd., has bought a big interest in two cheese firms owned by C. W. Riley, , and a new joint stock Company called the Slawson and Riley Cheese Company Ltd., has been organized. It is reported Lome P. Marshall, head of the Toronto firm, will be president of the new company, and Mr. Riley will be vice-president. The reorganthtion was effective April 1, and J. G. Chambers, well- known in Ingersoll as a one-time re­ sident, will be with the company. The following statement in con­ nection with the change was issued: "Mr. C- W. Riley has announced that, in conjunction' with a Toronto group, he has arranged to form a new joint stock company called The Slawson and Riley Cheese Company Limited. “This new organization will have Mr. Riley as Vice-President end will take over the present Slawson Cheese Company and C W. Riley Cheese Company, AH of the present employees of the two companies will be remaining with the new firm in their present capacity. Mr. J. G. Chambers has joined the organiza­ tion and will be making his bead­ quarters in Ingersoll.” The reorganization brings to­ gether tyro of Ingersoll’s pioneer cheese industries. The late C. W. Riley started business In Ingersoll in 1882, The Slawson Cheese Co. was founded by the late Charles H. Slawson prior to 1880. Following his death the business was purchased by the late C. W. Riley. The Slawson business has been largely confined to the home trade specializing in cheese processing and dairy supplies while the Riley business was mainly for exporting.

Trees in the way,he said, will be uprooted by bulldozers and burned.No. 2 section is to be completed by October. Sam still bears the scars of many awinces at some of the blows he got thosemany years ago. He was a member of the famed Dufferin Lacrosse Club andthe Ingersoll Baseball Club. “See that group," he pointed to a pic­ture of the lacrosse team. "I'm the only one alive of all those men.”Sam deplores the loss in popularity oflacrosse. "Lacrosse is one of the real Canadian sports,’’ he said, swinging his stick sen­timentally. "It’s a shame that it has lostits popularity. There’s no finer sport. I dream of the day when once again alacrosse team will bring glory to Inger­soll.” When he could no longer play, or even referee or umpire. Sam took upflowers of all kinds, with a particular interest in roses, and his horticulturalfame has spread for miles. He has alsoshown thoroughbred chickens, specially Silkies, at Torofito. Ottawa, Guelph,London, and Detroit. Loves Children “Guess I’ll be going in for it again.” hesaid somewhat sadly, looking around at what had been virtually home for morethan the average lifetime.

His full name is William Robert Wark, but everyone calls him Bob. Bob is 43 now nnd he joined the staff of the postoffice when he was 15, at the personal invitation of S. A. Gibson, the retiring postmaster. “Theoretically . I shouldn’t have got in then,” he chuckled, “because the age limit is 18, but Mr. Gibson got me in. I remember he asked me if I'd like to join the staff, and I said I’d have to ask my mother and I bicycled all the way up to London to get mother's permission.” Bob’s mother, Mrs. Charles B.Wark, lives in Hamilton. His father died some yean ago- Many don’t know thia, but Bob was born in Ingersoll and went to school here, He went out to British Columbia at an early age and after a few years in Tillsor.burg came here to stay.

"My hobbies.” be echoed. "Well, they’re much like the boss’s— chickens and gardening. My wife sings and my son collects stamps and runs a paper route. There doesn’t seem to be time for any* thing else.” Bob paid tribute Mr. Glboon. “Our association has been-noth­ ing but pleasant,” he said. “It's been a pleasure al! the way through."

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1949 Notes on the Editor's Pad .Perhaps you are wondering just what was that weird and wonderful-looking machine that was wrestled into The Tribune office recently. It is called a linotype and it is on this machine that what you are reading this instant was set. The operator sits down and plays with a keyboard like that of a typewriter, and the story comes out the the other end. It looks strictly from frankenstein, but really is a great tribute to man’s ingenuity. That’s two linotypes the Tribune has now, and it simply means we’ll be able to get more and moreinteresting reading matter into the paper. This’ second machine came from MadLean’s, in Toronto, and within a 24-hour period it had been running at MaoLean’s, dismantled, trucked to Ingersoll, man­ oeuvred (in two and a half hours) through a door and a jumble of office paraphernalia, set up again and begun running for the Tribune. It had barely lost a beat. LOOKING BACKIn the Files of The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario TO MAKE HAPPINESS To watch the corn grow and the blossomsset, to draw hard breath over plowshare and spade, to read, to think, to love, tohope, to pray, these are the things that make men happy.—Ruskin Wills Seen No Earthly Use If Charity Act Is Passed In this day and age, when even in the democ­ racies, man’s span, from birth to death, is pretty well licensed, by-lawed and order-in-councilled, his one big right has been to dispose of his wordly goods in any way he saw fit providing, of course, his disposition complied with the laws of the day. But now, under the Charitable Gifts Act pro­ posed by the government of the day at Queen's Park, even that right is snatched away. The late Joseph . E. Atkinson, in a will that took years of thought and preparation, asked that his valuable properties, The Star and The Star Weekly, be run in the interests of charity/ The will was chal­ lenged by neither the departments of government concerned in such matters, nor the courts. To­ day, however, his last will and testament stands menaced by the act of a government long a polit­ ical foe of The Star. No Will Would be Safa If this act is passed, and as a result, the intent of Mr. Atkinson’s will changed, then no will is safe. The precedent will have been created. No matter how sound a will may be on one’s death­ bed, there can be no counting on the whims of the government in power, and thus no counting on provisions of the will being carried out There­ fore, one may well ask, why go to all the time, trouble and expense of making out a will? We do not doubt but what there is need for greater control and supervision over foundations set up in the Interests of charity. Let us have it But why must the legislation be retroactive? It can only be to catch something that has hitherto “escaped.” Hon. Leslie Frost, provincial treasurer, says the bill is not aimed at The Star, but Mr. Atkinson’s foundation is the only “big” one in recent years. It is the only one Mr. Frost has mentioned in the legislature. In addition, Mr. Frost has been able to discuss the Atkinson will with a great deal of ‘ knowledge and detail, considering it has nothing to do with the legislation. Seen a* Political Spite It is no wonder, then that many ask whether the retroactive provision is there in public interest, so piuch as in political spite. > We think too much emphasis is being placed on any part Mr. George McCullagh of the Globe and Mail might have in connection with this legislation. Perhaps he would like to think himself as a King maker or King breaker, but we don’t think he has reached that high pinnacle. Any interest we might have had in the Globe’s comments on the cas» was completely dispelled by the ’’pay up and shut’ up” editorial on page one of the March 31 Globe. It was not thoughtful, intelligent consideration of a measure, but angry ranting. And when it is sug­ gested a bunch of “incompetents” could be run­ ning two of the most successful newspaper enter­ prises in the world, it is just too ridiculous for words. We’d like to get personal for a moment and squelch a rumor. In fact, by some it is considered aUoluto fact. The story is that we have bought the spacious home of Mr. C. W. Riley. We have paid anywhere from $12,000 to $22,000 for it, so goes the story. It is a lovely home, and we could probably make ourselves very comfortable in it, but we have to confess we HAVE NOT bought it We feel it necessary to say so because the story could make life difficult for both of us. Mr. Riley is trying to sell his house and the story it is sold . might drive off prospective customers. We are trying to rent a suitable house, and the story we’ve already bought might lose us a real home of our own. Naturally, we’re flattered by the story, but it ain’t so. You know, you just can’t buck fate. We decid­ ed, in last week’s issue, to do a public service by publishing the fire chiefd warning for everyone to be careful with their clean-up firse, since “every­ thing is as dry as tinder.” As the papers went out to the newsstands, with this timely warning glar­ ing on the front page, the rain was pouring down. It was undoubtedly one of Ingersoll’s wettest days. Everything was so wet you couldn’t have fired an oil-soaked rag with a blow-torch. As we said, you can’t buck fate. Jack Hutt, son of Mrs. H. E. Hutt, of Ingersoll, starred in the play, "Liliom,” put on by the Uni­ versity of Western Ontario players, last week, and thereby hangs a little story. Jack played the part of the barker at a fair and barkers are voice with a capital V. Unfortunately, Jack got laryngitis shortly before the show was to go on and a frog­ like croak was about all he could produce. He was in this delightful condition virtually Until the mo­ ment the curtain rose, but was beginning to be un­ derstandable. When the curtains went up, there was Jack, large as life, shouting away as a barker should, but not making a sound. Friends in the audience wept for him—until after the show. Then they discovered he wasn’t supposed to be making any noise. t • What Others S a y; 48 YEARS AGO Thursday, April 18. 1901 Messrs. William Collins and W. J.

An Era Comes to an End As “Awnings” Are Wrecked Unobtrusively, an end to an era came about re­ cently. Stun Elliott of Elliott’s Electric and John * Miller of Miller Motor Sales, with same capable assistants, wielded hammers and wrecking bars to remove the permanent awnings which fronted their business places for so many years. Ingersoll now has a “new look.” Practically ex­ tinct in our town today are the metal and wooden awnings of yesteryears. They undoubtedly serv­ ed a useful purpose, as we can imagine we see the . crowds gathered under them in rainy weather to discuss the events of the times in an unhurried way while their horses were tied to the hitching- posts, or more comfortably stalled ~ in the livery , stables of the bygone days. Not wholly gone, however, are the reminders of the days when people went a-calling In tasselled carriage drawn by well-fed steeds. There are about the town the occasional hitching-post, and the other relics of a more lasting type are the solid concrete blocks at the curbs from which milady stepped into the carriage. The era of the sidewalk awnings has gone in In­ gersoll, but we are sure there are many who can recall the good old days of visiting under them, with merchandise piled on the sidewalk, and shop­ pers and merchants and their clerks moving aboutIn the lamplighted stores. Nevertheless, it is go­ ing to take more than the hammers of John Miller and Sun Elliott to wreck and haul sway those well-preserved, substantial concrete, blocks of horse-and-buggy days. They will long remain a nostalgic link with a departed era. Too Many Toots We are indebted to Dr. C. A. Harris, London's medical health officer, for bringing up the matterof unnecessary noises in the city, especially that horrible and inexcusable din of automobile hornsat weddings. This is a vestigial remnant from thedays when we were a village, when rural swainsconsidered this the only fitting announcement toa patient world that at last they had married the girl. We have had several civic protests but with­out avaiL The city has a noise by-law, which how­ ever, seems to be more honored in the breach than the observance.Dr. Harris told the Board of Health that citi­ zens' nerves are frayed and fretted by a vastaggregation of noises they do not hear distinctly. It is the concatenation of factory whistles, barkingdogs, automobile horns, the shouts and murmursof passers-by, the changing of gears, the ringing of all the innumerable bells installed in office andhome, the whistling of trains, the slamming of doors, and even, on the outskirts, the crowing ofroosters which raise nerve tension in the city.But it is the tooting of automobile horns at wed­ dings which he protests most strenuously. Weare with him completely. We do not wish to cheat newly-married couplesof any brief huzzahs or plaudits they can wringfrom an observant populace, but it is a wretched noise at best and as far as most of us are concern­ed, quite uncalled for. If there must be the toot­ing of an automobile horn in connection with wed­ dings let us have it in celebration of the diamondjubilee. Then there would be something to tootabout—and it would not occur so frequently. —From London Free Press. Newsprint Rival For some years the Southern United Stateshave sought a way to escape having to Buy Can­adian newsprint. They have tried their southern pine, but not successfully. Now however, they are to have a straw and grass paper which scien­tists assert will answer their needs. The National Farm Chemurgic Council at Memphis, Tennessee,dfcriosses that they already have started makingthe new product, and that results will be on the market by the end of this year. And down inTexas, they have developed a fast-growing hybridtree, which, says Victor Schoefflemayer, directorof the southwest research centre at San Antonio, will permit the United States to grow all thenewsprint lumber it needs.Straw and grass can be produced cheaper than trees, and quicker. Whether the new product will‘ stand up to practical printing testa remains to beseen. In the past few yean similar experiments have failed to meet actual use conditions but ad­ vances are being made, and one day no doubtsome substitute for our Canadian newsprint willbo produced. If it can be done with grass and straw in the Southern States, it could be done elsewhere, a reminder that export markets arevariable and changeable and must be developed, and energised, and discovered from year to year.What is more it is vital that we conserve ourforests upon which the futurity of the pulp andand paper industry depend—From London Free How to be s Good Canadian In our- palmier days all you had to do to have peace was to stop fighting.—Guelph Mercury.

We do not spare the rod, we make our kids work and they haven’t any time to go hoolyganing. How many kids has she anyhow? Not very many I bet What with hoeing the corn and shoveling man­ure and feeding the pigs, they aint got on time for doing what comesnaturally. I keep my kids singing hims while they are milking, keeps their minds out of the gutter. If that Long woman will just hike it out here to the farm, shed sure swaller them high faluting idears. Tell hen, to bring her kids and after a year working like 60 out here they wont be Hoolygins anymore. believe me, MRS.

At the Library The Canadian Water Colour So­ ciety exhibit arrived at the Library last week and the 20 or so small pictures will add a fresh, gay touch to the library all this month. Several of the big names in Canadian water colour painting are represented, Charles Comfort, Carl Schaeffer, the Haworths and half a dozen others. Charles Comfort, whose re­ markable portraits are always the focus of attention in any exhibition, has a sketch called Summer For trait, which is one of the most striking in this show. Carl Schaef­ fer, first Canadian artist to win a Guggenheim Fellowship to study in the U.S., is represented by two pic­ tures of old houses in greys and greens. Both these men were offic­ ial war artists and now teach in To­ ronto. Peter Haworth and his wife Bertha Cogill Haworth are well known as teachers and experts in the technique of water colour, andhave four pictures in this group. Harvesting, and Haliburton Lake are in rich colours. Pastoral, and Thorns and Roses, are by Mrs. Ha­worth and are in cooler tones.There are several paintings with (boats as the subject by Dawson ‘ Kennedy and Kathleen Cooling Kennedy. Paraskeva Clark, the Russian born artist who la this year’s president of the society, shows two pictures, one called Re­ flections, in soft greens, blues and grey pinks. The other is Evening on the Saguenay. Other artists represented are Murray Bonnycastie, Sydney Wat­ son, Charles Goldhamer, Jack Bush and William Winter. These last two are well-known for their illustra­ tions and covers for Maclean’s Mag­ azine.Water colours are among the most delightful of pictures, expressing so directly so many moods of nature and the personalities of the artists who paint them. All these works are for sale and a wonderful opportun­ ity is provided for owning an orig­ inal Canadian painting.

Family One of the best softball diamonds in Ontario, with most modern flood* lighting equipment, is planned for Ingersoll this year. Total cost of improvements will be about $1200, Earl Thornton, president of the Ingersoll and District Softball League, told a meeting of the league executive, March, 31, at which ways to raise the money were discussed. The first meeting of the 1949 season, it was attended by Ted Bowman, vice-president; Ian Camp­ bell, secretary; Lloyd Brown, Treas­ urer, and the executive members, Rev C. D. Daniel and Andy McKen­zie. The resignation of Ralph Bec- TRINITY UNITED JUNIOR CHOIR 8th Annual Spring Festival APRIL 29ili mer as a member of the executive was accepted. League games will be carried on in the same section of town, only on u new diamond Just west of the present site. New lighting boosted froiq. 27,000 watts to 42,000 watts, is planned. This will cost about about $600 plus labor. The service charge, formerly carried by the town, now has to be paid by the league, Thornton told the meeting, and it will amount to around $126, compared with about $81 formerly. A new backstop, costing about $300, will be required to replace the old one damaged last winter. The board of education and the league will work together in mak­ ing the grounds and diamond one of the best. The town has contribut­ ed $460 to the new lighting system. “But,” explained Mr. Thornton, the league will need the co-operation of every citizen to make it possible togive the town the best diamond inthe province.” A meeting open to the publicwill be held in the town hall nextThursday. “The public is going tobenefit by all these improvemenu,”said Mr. Thornton, "so we feel they should know what we are up against this year.” SAM'S DAD PLAYED FOR CHAMPIONS OF CANADA This is the “Victoria Baseball Club of Ingersoll, Cham­ pions of Canada, 1870”. of which Sam’s dad, Joseph Gibson,was a member.

PHONE 850W ....... , ■ I_________...............——— By W. A. C. Thurston Zone* Forostor In the preceding articles, woodlotmanagement has been discussed. As most everyone knows, there are areas which have been cleared of trees, but it is now realized that some of these areas are not suitable for raising agricultural crops. If our ancestors had known more aboutsoils, the forests would not havebeen cleared of trees. They wouldhave recognized certain soils and certain areas as being unsuitable for agriculture, and left the forestsstanding. Now that trees have been cut off non-agricultural lands, people are realizing that trees are the only crop which can grow on such places. This mean that we must re­sort to reforestation in many cases.Although naturally grown trees aregenerally more hardy than planted trees, reforestation must be prac­ tised. It is the renewal of a forest by artificial means, and since planting is comparatively expensive, it is re­ garded as a supplemetary measure when no seed trees are present to give natural regeneration.Every farmer wants to make every acre of the farm produce a valuable crop. Where certain piecesof land are unproductive or diffi­cult to cultivate, trees are a poss­ible crop, and should be planted. Apart from the fact that trees are a crop for sub-marginal or non­ productive land, there are many other benefits derived from the planting of trees. Trees may be planted to form a windbreak around farm buildings. Such windbreaks will make houses easierto heat, thus saving fuel. Barnsand stables will be warmer when they are ■ protected by windbreaks. The farm lands themselves can beprotected by windbreaks. They will protect fields from hot, drying winds in summer, which would dry out the soil too much, robbing growing crops of much needed soil moisture. In winter, snow will beheld on the fields when windbreakshave been planted. This snow, whenmelted, will make more water avail­ able for penetration into the soil, which will help the crops later in the year.Trees are frequently planted around springs to ensure a perman­ ent supply of water. This same prac­tice will frequently raise the waterlevel in wells. When a plan­tation has been established forsome years, it will serve as a source of fuel, posts and lumber.Farmers can secure trees from the Department of Lands and For­ ests, having to pay only the shipping charges on the trees. Application forms for ordering the trees can be secured from the Zone Forester or from County Agricultural Represen­tatives, in the early summer. Al­though it is too late to order treesfor planting this spring, it is not too early to start thinking about plant­ing In 1960.

IN MEMOR1AM HUGHES—In loving memory of aa dear mother, Laura Gertrude Hughes, who passed away one year ago today, April 5th— April comes with deep regret A date we never will forget Till memory fades and life departs She will live forever in our hearts The memory of those happy days When we were all together. Asleep in Jesus, thy labor is o’er The willing hands will toil no more, On earth there is strife, in heaven rest, They miss you most, who loved you best —Carl and Myrtle Clutton and family. IN MEMORIAM GILL—In loving memory of a dear husband and father, Clarence C. Gill, who passed away one year ago, April 7th, 1948: We cannot say, and we will not say That he is dead. He is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of .the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land,And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingersthere. Think of’ him still as the same, we say: He is not dead—he is just—away. —Lovingly remembered by wifeand family.

Manser, Clerk, Martins Arrive Very Early Fly In As House Is Raised For 18 yean, since 1931, Jack Staples, on Charles St East, has been watching the annual arrival of Martins to his Martin house after their winter sojourn in the south. And this year, he saya, they were the earliest ever, with the ex­ ception of 1945, According to bis official notation, the lint 1949 martin arrived at 5.15 p.m. March 30, as compared with March 28, in 1945. The latest time of arrival was April 26, in1936."My neighbor says this year they got there March 29, but I don’t count it until I’ve seen them my­ self”, Mr. Staples explained. Gener- ally it is the first week in April, or later, that the birds arrive, and Mr. Staples has no idea if the early arrival has any special significance. “I wish they’d wait a couple of weeks," he said. "They’re liable tofreeze to death Often. I’ve gone outin the morning and found them frozen and stunned on the ground.

Aboutown Sports With the sun’s rays getting stronger by the day, our thoughts turn to the Prinevu Elizabeth soft­ ball grounds and the ghosts of last year's teams, the cheering of the crowds and the moans and groans of most everyone saying thb should bedone and that should be done. We will all get a chance at the betterment of softball in general in Ingersoll according tojan announce­ ment made recently by Earl Thorn­ ton, president of the Ingersoll and* District League. The Board of Ed­ ucation have given the league per­ mission to change the location of the diamond by moving it back and in­ creasing the lighting system. Some of us will be able to helpfinancially, some of us physically, solet's all get behind the League and the Board and give them our whole­ hearted support. There will be an open meeting Monday night, April 11th, at the council chambers. Let's all give our assistance and opinions in this very important matter.Mentioning ghosts, fate has shad­owed the popular Dickson’s Corn­ ers’ Club, when Wilf Dodds, ace pitcher, broke his pitching^ arm in two places. This will no doubt end Wilf’s pitching career and he will be greatly missed by the crowd as well as his teammates. Will thismean Dickson’s will have to bring Gordon McEwan out of moth balls once more ? ? ? We are not surprised bat sorry to •learn that our short impromptu on that beautiful plot of ground called Victoria Park as yet has reaped nobenefits. We wonder if we should place statues on the bases and in the out­ fields so that passers-by would not think that the people of Ingersoll are neglecting their up and coming stars. We hope in our next columnwe will be able to name the local firm, organization, or individual who is going to sponsor an entry in organized baseball. Your com­ ments will be appreciated.

Monsignor Francis Brennan, of St. Peter’s Seminary, London, told the Kiwanis Club of Ingersoll Thursday. “A complete family life is that whichupon all society depends.”Monsignor Brennan, introducedby P. M. Dewan, said that even as in1849, “we’re still chasing gold—de­ voting a lot of time and attention to the material things of life. But,” he added, “I think we’ve learned a greater awareness of the things that matter. We have learned that things and forces that would de­ stroy our way of life can come from within, as well as from the outside.” “Freedom or liberty is a moral power,* he said, “and it is one of the most abused rights of our day.True moral freedom or liberty isfrequently confused with physicallicense. These rights of ours canycertain responsibilities — responsi­ bilities to Him who conferred these rights upon us. “Preach the gospel of thele rights to others,” the speaker urged. “These great labor-management dis- i putes throughout the world are the 1 result of failure to determine ac- 1 curately what rights each shall en- < joy, as each has rights. None can be an isolated person. We must all plive in social relationship with each rother. By defending our rights and j conceding those to others, we candevelop that great fellowship which should prevail among all men—and) which is God’s intention.” W. W. Wilford thanked the speak- L. A. Westcott deplored the poor response to the Kiwanis Easter Seal campaign. He said only 456 re­ plies had been received to 4,000 letters. He urged everyone to give. He said people were under a misap­ prehension about the seals. They weren’t worth one cent, or two cents or three cents each, he said, they were worth exactly what you could send in. Keep all the stamps anef I send in cash what you think you can afford. Don’t take a few stamps and send in the rest, with what you think is a small contribution. NORWICH MINSTRELS !

It was a pleasant sentiment towear a flower in remembrance of aMother, and a necessary reminderfor some children away from homethat a letter to Mother would beappreciated. Neither the flower northe letter could be called a com­ mercial idea. A flower in May couldbe found growing wild or pickedfrom a garden. A letter could be written and sent by anyone willingto spend a few cents and the neces­sary time to say, “I am thinking ofyou, Mother. I still love you, evenif I don’t often write.’’ But the present day advertising and sellingspree, when every merchant offerssomething Mother must have onthat day, and the correspondingly .implied admonition that if you don’t send it you are lacking in af­fection, makes many a mother, like the day’s founder herself, wish theidea had never been dreamed up.I’d rather be forgotten on that day(and, of course, I never am) andremembered on some other and nameless day, (which often I am).I hate regimentation of any kind, One of our local carriers of the. blem of the sightless tails me that1 the drivers of the busses between1 Ingersoll and London, and in Lon-1 don itself, are always very kind and’ helpful, assisting him on and off the! vehicles, stopping at his conven­ ience, and seating him behind them,) so that our friend does not have to' stumble up the aisle and over peo-' pie’s feet.

ODELL & ALLEN a GENERAL MOTORS DEALER45 King Street East THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1949BIG CITIESBY LES W. HOLBROOK I have just given up a city chore paying in the <6000 bracket—and one with an excellent "future”, meas­ ured in terms of money and social! standing, whatever that is. And I am perfectly happy about the wholething. With one good wife, one city-spoil­ ed eight-year-old son and one cocker spaniel, I have moved to the country. Since the four of us have been rationed to one life apiece—andsince Bamb, the dog, objects to the addition of any animals with ninelives—we have decided to spend the collective years which we have leftin a small community. We are con­vinced, now, after too many yean in the rat race that is called city living,that traffic jams/ hurried indigestiblelunches, jangling telephones fend rat- ]tling business machines, bosses with frayed nerves, cocktail parties andnight club floo* shows are not whatwe want, that so-called city conven­ iences constitute insufficient compen­ sation for all that it missed by con­ demning oneself to forced labour inthe “big time.” Although we have not yet located the "ideal spot” for our bee-keeping, dog-breeding or chicken raising—or whatever it may be—we are already having a whale of a time investigat­ ing various propositions and, as a family unit, enjoying life to the full for the first time since married life began—and we kidded ourselves that an ultra-modern apartment, a "posi­ tion” in the city, and all the rest of * the tinsel was what we were put into this old world to achieve. Young John sizes it up succinctly when we ask him if he wants to go back to thecity. He says simply “Nuts!” Learning the Hard Way And we say “Nuts” too. Alreadywe are the envy of our urban friends.They seem easily convinced that ovenoutdoor plumbing, (which, inciden­tally, need not be part of your *few acres and independence) is prefer­able to such things as that dailyhour-long flight through city traffic to get to and from you^ big town $weat shops. Actually, two families among our friends had already . beaten us back to the simple life, • and, if we are/any judge, more areto follow. In this piece, we do not expect to convince 18-year-old country cousins ’ YOU CAN HAVE 'EM!that they should stay where they are.They will continue to flock to the . crowded, dirty, noisy, soulless cities j’ and learn their lessons the hard way. j But you somewhat more mature per-1 . sons, (money-mad morons and social , climbers excluded), please believe us ' when we say it’s easy. All that you really have to do is make the break. ’ Right now there is lots of work in the small towns if you need or want to make a few dollars while looking around for the thing which you have always desired most to do. We may have a slight advantage over some of you, in that we can doa spot of writing as we make ourplans, but there are many other ways | to solve financial problems. In agood many cases, if you were to giveup your too onerous city financial obligations (such as buying thathouse you can’t afford), you would j have that many—runs to the stag­ gering sum of $6.00.

The facilities that are quite on par .with | story in great detail, worked itself those of the metropolis. We arel°ut easily and naturally. It left us writing this in a ' . *7“ ................... 3,000 but it boasts a high school anda public school that are as good asyou will see anywhere. Manualtraining, domestic science and busi­ness courses are all available; both buildings have up-to-date auditor­ iums and gymnasiums; health stand­ ards are among the best in the pro­ vince; teachers are of good calibre and take a genuine and active inter­ est in the life of the town; and thechildren get their schooling in sereneand pleasant surroundings. Comparethat with many city schools, thedowntown ones especially—hemmedin by warehouse and factory, pol­ luted by smoke and gas fumes, too many with hot, dusty, treeless play­ grounds. Even the smallest communities now offer the modem amenities of life—electricity, usually waterworks ■ and sewerage, refrigeration and cold storage, telephone and radio(the last being a dubious blessing).Since we feel quite capable ofsturggling along without telvision, if we continue to be outside the range of this latest device, the city would seem to have no arguments in its favour so far as these various aids to living are concerned. And in the smaller community you get a little land with the prop­erty you rent or buy—not a postagestamp lot or no lot at all. What is more important you get time to cul­ tivate it—and even a small piece of ground that you can use as you please does something very much worthwhile for most of us. More For Your Money In the city, we spent fifty centsa day to park our car if we droveto work—fighting our way downand back on overcrowded trolleys or busses if we didn’t—and another half dollar or so if we moved it dur­ ing the day. The alternative is an unpleasant quota of parking tickets each month. To-day all of us are greatly con­ cerned about the exorbitant cost of living. Most certainly prices are upin the country too; but you still getmuch more too for your money inthe way of both goods and services. Tradesmen and servicemen are your friends and are not out to gouge you at every opportunity, * as too many seem to be in the city. You take your car.to a bne-or-two mech­ anic garage,* get a more thorough job than in our city shops (where you may never see the man'who ac­tually does the work)', and the sizeof the bill is a pleasant surprise.Little things are fixed free ofcharge when you buy your gas and oil. Even.’, if you haven’t a garden, you need buy few'if any vegetables or fruits in season; ’* the .neighbors are eager to pass along their sur­ plus and would be insulted if you offered payment. And, of course there is no comparison between veg­etable! fresh from thy garden and those man-handled on tthe city mar­ kets. If you have mever eaten com on the cob, right after picking, you haven't lived. There is really no point In trying to compare city food with a well­ laden country tabid; it is too one­sided. Shortly before we left ourcity labours, we attended • conven­ tion in Washington, D.C. Banquettickets were 112.50 per person; the meal should have been good, and was, but it couldn’t touch some of the spreads we* have had of late. In the Jtnall town where this is writteK^nnual fees for the local gdlf chib—admittedly not as well frroonfed as swankier city links— runs 19.50 for ladies and $13,00 formen, with a family membership of$21.50. That coven everything andyou don’t have to spend a lot moreto make an impression around theclub house. The same town has one of then’nest swimming pools in the coun­ try with heated, crystal-clear water,■potless ----- town less than w‘th the feeling that it had been a 1 “healthy” talk—with examples right j to hand. You can have your child I psychologists; we’ll take a litter of . pups or piglets. ! Yes, it is not just the material. things which highlight the many ad-. vantages that country living has. over city existence. More import- i ant are the people in the smaller communities—the way they treat you and the way you feel yourself wanting to treat them. In the town and small city stores, the clerks are positively charmingcompared with the brittle, disinter­ested automations that big citystores seem to get behind their counters—in spite of high pressurepersonnel departments. In the country, they are genuinely interested in you and your purchase. Just try buying a pair of shoes for a youngster in a big city and then in a small town if you would be con­ vinced (And the smaller centre willhave the selection too, so you big 1 city dwellers have no advantage ‘there). One of our wife’s chief beefs about Montreal and Toronto,' and like places, is the “snippy” re­ tail clerk. The excessive tipping that is ox- • pected, in fact practically demand­ ed, in our large centres is a com­ panion to snippy clerks. It has long since reached the ridiculous stage with the lowly dime supplanted by quarters, half dollars and folding money. Even the boys who carry out your groceries at the big cash and carry stores, where you try to save a few cents, look for their cut We are convinced that the "green fields” in the fields look greener—that city people long lor the country and vice versa. And weI haven't forgotten the one about the country boy who goes to the| city to make enough money so that he may go back to the country andenjoy life; we just think that ho l—.e left out the middle1 stage and had a longer period of1 really worthwhile living. We are convinced that the “green fields” in the country arc real, that in too many cases the big city’s offerings are only a mirage, and that you don’t have to go to thebig time to make a living. Even ifit is money that you happen to want, remember that there are moiewealthy people per capita in thecountry centres. Some ,____,________ town is dull and that the lack of variety is too monotonous to bear; this may have been so once but not anymore. On'the contrary all big cities look alike—on this continent i at least—while there is infinitevariety in the smaller places. Decentralisation So you can have your big cities. A firm believer in decentralization, we are going to do our part to im­ plement this very sound reasoning. If more of us followed suit therewould be less need for the too-ex-pensive social security measures which our governments are plan­ ning and for which we will pay in the most uneconomical of ways— high taxation for government spen­ ding. And we never could under­ stand why a government feels that they can spend our money more efficiently than the individual—ex­ cept in wartime -when the economiclaws have to be tossed overboard. Of course we cannot all go back to the country; what would ail the ' psychiatrists do for a living? But don’t worry about that; there will always be plenty of dopes ready and eager to crowd into a few square miles to do the slaving for us—and to serve as a market forthe products from our more leis­urely labours. While we are looking for thecountry spot that suits us best, we're writing a little—and living alot!

PHONE 122 Hello Homemakers I There may­be many ways to serve fish, butbaked in aluminum foil will suit meany time. The main reason is per­haps the good flavor we get whenwe eat it at the table in preferenceto the aroma in the house at bed­ time whenever fish is fried. Fish isreally steam-cooked when you wrapit in cookery parchment foil or pa­per so you do not see any brown­ness but we smother it with egg or tomato sauce anyway. Leftovers make a favorite dishin the form of cakes or loaf. You combine cooked fish and mashed po­tatoes well, beating until fluffy and free from lumps. Then chill themixture until it can be handled eas­ily when shaping into cakes. Use only sufficient fat to cover the bot­tom of the frying pan. When youlook over our recipe you will seethat fish cakes are easy to make.And if you make your meal prepar­ ations well in advance the pattiesare better. They may be mixed inthe morning, covered and set in theelectric refrigerator. Then at din­ner time they can be cooked in 8 minutes.
