A new arena, together with artificial ice, will cost be­ tween $150,000 and $200,000. The executive feel that whatwith the hospital and new sewage system, and generally high­ er costs, the people of the area would not be prepared to raisethat amount of money this year. However, noting what theunusual winter did to Ingersoll's skating program this year, the committee has devised a unique scheme for providing arti­ ficial ice in the old arena until a new one is built. On Reclaimed Land Present pians art that the newarena will be built on land right be­hind the present rink which will bereclaimed under the Thamesstraightening and reclamation pro­ ject now underway. It is proposed to build the refrigeration plant be­ hind the present rink, and lay pipes on the cement floor of the present arena. When the new arena is built, the refrigeration plant will be incor­ porated into it, as will part of the old arena. It is estimated cost of this tem­ porary set-up for artificial ice will not exceed $30,000. Sixteen neigh­ boring communities with teams in the South Oxford rural hockey league, and thus vitally interested in seeing artificial ice here, have said they will each raise $500 to­ ward the cost This they plan to d - through concerts, dances, bingos and other means. Then, for the project Ingersoll can expect at least one grant of $5,-000 from the provincial govern­ment, and possibly two. The prov­ ince will pay 25 per cent, of anyrink project up to $20,000, and thesame amount for a community cen­ tre. Since both of these projects are planned, it is felt two grants may be available. It is hoped that some time in 1950 it will be possible to go ahead with the new arena itself. Expects a Ticket But Wins a Prize Miss Elizabeth Mansfield.

Cadets To Hold Meetings Ingersoll will be invaded April 19th by six young Salvation Army officers in training from Booth Memorial College, Toronto. They will be accompanied by Major A. Moulton, general secretary, and Ser­ geant Bruce Halsey, and will con­duct a series of meetings in Inger­soll every evening at 8.00 p.m., April 19 to April 24, in The Inger­ soll Salvation Army Citadel.Also an Easter Vacation ’ School will be held in the Cita­ del on Wednesday, Thursday, Fri­ day and Saturday mornings from 9.30 to 11 o’clock. Al children are cordially invited. Representative of the hundreds of Salvation Army Officers trained at Booth Memorial College is this group of young Salvationist stu­ dents, known as “The Peacemak­ ers." When they graduate in June they will travel to all parts of Can­ ada to enter the full-time Gospel ministry.Musically, the cadets exemplify the best in the Army tradition. Theunited singing, the variety of in­ strumental and vocal combinationsand the solos are all of very highquality, pleasing and soul-stirring These musical numbers will be heard here. The cadets come from widely sep­ arated points, Vancouver, B.C., to Halifax N.S. They were previously in occupations as diversified as those of private pilot and stenographer, telephone operator and salesman. The group consists of Major A. Moulton, Toronto; Sergeant Halsey, Saskatoon; Cadet P. Gardner, Cal­ gary; Cadet W. Whitesell, Vancou­ ver; Cadet G. McNevin, Hamilton; Cadet J. Wood, Halifax; Cadet G. Fulford, Trenton; Cadet S. Arm­ strong, Winnipeg.■ Major Moulton was for manyyears a school teacher. The Major performs on the English concertina and many varieties of strings and brass. Sergeant Halsey is of Salvation Army parentage and is the great grandson of the Army's first cadet Bible Tbamesford Doctor Speaks to Lions The history of medicine is closely associated with the advance of civil­ ization, Dr. T. M. Weir of Thames- ford, a member of the club, told the Lions Club Monday evening. He was introduced by Francis, Moulton.Man, said Dr. Weir, has tried to prolong life and overcome sickness since the beginning of time. The early North American In­ dians knew the use of herbs. Many prehistoric charms, 1 the speaker said, have come down to the present age. Dr. Weir told the Lions the early Chinese as far back as 3,000 B.C., knew something of drugs. Modem civilization, he said, owes a great debt to ancient Greece, where medi­ cine was separated from magic. There was a period of intense ac­tivity in the , 17th century in thearts and sciences, and Dr. Weir mentioned the names of many great men who ha'je improved medi­ cal science. Louis Pasteur, he said, inaugurated the bacterial age. In his own age, the speaker said, great ad­ vances have been made. However, he said the causes of cancer and polio are still being looked for. Some time in the future they willyield to the scientists. Dr. G. H. Emery thanked the speaker. Lion President Bill Haw­ kins conducted the meeting. Eddie Ide was the accompanist for songs led by Corpl. J. W. Callander. Bob Waterhouse sent thank*/to the dubfor transportation. CapL Bernard Acton appealed'to the Lions to attend-the holy wdek services in the churches of the toton. C. J. Hines, the secretary, gave areport Tickets on a lucky draw were sold by Murray Christie and Wally Clayton. The prize,’donated by John Robbins, was won by George Borthwick. An impromptu quartette, com­ posed of Doug. Hawkins, Capt Acton, Herb. Baker and John’bob­ bins, sang “Annie Laurie." Albert Quait, chairman of the international convention committee, informed the club about the convention to be held in New York City. MAGNIFICENT UNIVERSITY BUILDING NAMED FOR INGERSOLL MAN This is Keating Hall, the home of the gradu­ ate school of arts and sciences and the upper classes of the famed Fordham university, in theBronx, New York- Three storied in height and occupying the highest point on the campus, this magnificent structure is named for Father Joseph Beautiful College Building Honors Son of Ingersoll Today is the 77th birthday of oneof Ingersoll’s moat famous sons. He is Father Joseph T. Keating, SJ„ who was born where Keatle’sMotors now stands, and went to the UJS. to become one of the outstand­ ing figures in the university life of the land. Only last year he retired after being treasurer of famed Fordham University for 38 years. At that, he’s only resting, and he is expected to return to the college which loved and appreciated him so much that it named perhaps its most magnificent building after him. Keating Hall—pictured above— honors his efforts. Father Joseph, who has made oc­ casional visits to his native heath since he left It in 1891, is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Keat­ ing, who operated the Keating Ho­ tel, now Kestle Moton. There were 11 children. A sister is Mrs. Rose Anglin, Charles St. East. Another sister is Sister Regis, of the House of Providence, in’ London. Another sister who took holy orders was Sis­ ter St. Paul, who was at Sacred Heart Convent, London, when she died 13 years ago. All the children went to Sacred Heart School here. "Father Keating liked sports,” Mrs. Anglin related, “and particu­ larly skating. He was quite a figure skater.

In 1942 he celebrated his golden jubilee with the order, <nd at that time various poems and songs, reproduced else­ where in this issue, were written about him. In 1891, at 20, Father Keating be­ came a student at Holy Cross Col­ lege, Worcester, Mass., to complete his regular education prior to com­ mencing the 14 year course to priest­ hood in the order. In 1892, he was received as a novice of the Society of Jesus, at Frederick, Maryland. In 1894, he made his first vows and be­ gan hta J uniorate. In the course of his training, he was professor of mathematics at Holy Cross College, and then in 190S he was ordained to the priest­ hood by James Cardinal Gibbon*.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1949 ing coat, striped trousers and a silk hat were theonly clothes in which a man "in the city** could dobusiness. Even the juniors wore silk hats andblack coats. London tailors took a delight in allthia magnificence but two world wars have playedhavoc with it all. Gone is the morning coat; de­parted are the creased striped trousers; and as forthe beloved topper” it is seen now only upon thelofty heads of commissionaires. The same sadstate of affairs obtains within The Temple, tradi­tional home of the legal profession. Even inBelgravia—what remains of it—formal attire isout and sort of pot pourri of sports dress has become the fashion.As far as formal attire is concerned we have watched the change in London. Before 1914 hun­dreds of people in London wore morning coats and silk hats every Sunday, and always for wed­dings and for funerals. The custom endured, with some diminution until 1939,. but today seemsto have petered out. Only in the righest political and diplomatic circles does it survive with anysore of virility.We have moved into a more casual age. Justas the waltz has become a tango, the horse and buggy an automobile, and the piano a radio, sohave “toppers” become felt hats, and boiled shirtschanged to soft fronts. It is more comfortable butnot as picturesque, but the tailors should not worry. They are selling us more sports fashions—which cost quuite as much. Letters To the Editor Mount Elgin, Canada.

Easter Is Time For Rejoicing And All Should Go to Church The Easter season is one of the most joyful times of the year. Predominating the celebration of Easter are thoughts of the first Easter, and add­ ing to its joyfulness is the assurance that the win­ ter season is ended.Tomorrow is Good Friday, when many of the churches in Ingersoll and the district will comem­ orate in special services the Crucifixion. On Sun­ day morning, the churches will present the joyful message of Easter in music and sermons. Easter is a time when we are inspired with new hope. As on the first Easter, when the gloom of Good Friday was changed into great joy on Easter Sunday morning, so in 1949 we again experience some of the happiness of this ever-living season. Outstanding among the religious festivals, of the year, Easter is celebrated by attending the servic­ es in the churches. Large congregations attend the services on Easter Sunday. Although it is now almost 2,000 years since the first Easter morning, the message of Easter is as new and as full of meaning as it was then. And every year the re­ telling of the Easter message in music and sermon brings new joy to all who, participate in the serv­ ices. The joy of Easter will overshadow the thoughts of a possible third world war, the troubled condi­ tions in many countries, and the problems of bringing in an era of peace with a fair distribu­ tion of the necessities of living to the people of all lands. If we could carry some of the Easter joy with us throughout the year, we would soon banish much of the trouble from the world. We hope that all of the churches in Ingersoll and the district will be well attended on Sunday. And to all the readers of The Tribune we wish a happy Easter! Notes on the Editor's Pad. While everyone else these days is busy oohing and aahing at the latest 1949 model cars, we went down to Roy Odell’s former garage the other day to ooh and aah at what is probably the oldest car in Ingersoll—a 1912 McLaughlin Buick. The car, which has four cylinders and a possible top speed of 25, sat from 1919 until the fall of 1948 in the garage of the late H. D. McCarty, Thames St, N. The 1919 license plates are still on it, and the speedometer shows about 4,000 miles, which in those days of no pavement would be equal to about 25,000 of our miles today. It’s a touring model, with a wooden body, just like the most mod­ em town cars, and has acetylene headlights sup­ plied by a tank on the running board. The cowl lights are coal oil, and the wheels are wood. Roy has had the engine going, but the big stumbling block to putting this one-time queen of the high­ roads back on the road is the matter of tires. Those on it are shot—and they're a size no longer obtainable—35 x 4. Closest they can get now is 34 x 4. However, when Roy gets a spare moment he’s going to polish her up, tune her up, wind her up and drive her down the main street, proud inthe glory of her pioneer years. The best show for anybody’s money (and it costs nothing), for the next months will be seen along the Thames here. Work has started on the $800,000 straightening and reclamation project, and since most people at heart are sidewalk sup­ erintendents, the doings there are fascinating to behold. The Sutherland Construction Co. of To­ ronto is hard at it, and they’d better be because they have 1,000,000 yards of earth and rock, etc., to move. If Jou can realize that when you spend all afternoon digging the garden you might turn over a yard or so, you can get a rough idea what one million yards would feel like. Those huge vehicles which are thrown around by the drivers like kiddiecars, carry 15 yards at a time. Called LeTourneau turnapulls, they cost $27,000 each, and fellows, if you think life is hard when you have a flat, think of them. Each tire costs more than $1100. Change System, or Sour Milk of Human Kindness The milk of human kindness will never run dry but it can be soured—and we think it will be sour­ ed unless something is done about the multitude of appeals made to the public to support this or aid that, or get behind something else. Everyone knows the Red Cross is doing tremendpus work, or that the Easter Seal campaign is of great benefit to the people who need it The same can be said of pretty well every organisation which asks the men and women of the country to support it. And, in most cases the average man and woman likes to give his little bit, likes to know he or she is play- , ing his or her part in making this country a bet-, ter place in which to live. But we think these appeals should be better tim­ ed. Every spring, it seems, along with the birds and the flowers come innumerable requests for money. This year first there was the Red Cross; then right on top of it, the Easter Seal campaign; next will be to aid the Salvation Army, which, everyone knows, does a great work. But by'now the people are getting tired of it; their milk of human kind­ ness is beginning to sour, and if they give, in most cases it will be with annoyance and grudingly. We don't think they resent the cause; it is just that they seem to make one donation, only to be sud- . denly asked for another. We know one employer in town who absolutely refused to canvass his employees for donations be­ cause already this year he had had to ask them several times for gifts. We think there should be a community chest, embracing all those I organisations and institutions which must appeal th the public for aid, and .Mr. and Mrs. John Public should be asked on one oc­ casion to share in their great charitable and help­ ful work. As we have said, the milk of human kindness could be soured, and it will be a sad day .should it ever happen. What Others Say: Mysterious Glands There are more secrets within the mysterious glands of the human body than even the scientistsyet dream of. They are finding something newevery day. Down at Berkeley California, for ex­ ample, research workers have discovered how byusing a precious gland substance, to keep ratsgrowing, and physically young and hearty at anage which corresponds to eighty in man. The substance used in this case under the direction of Dr. Herbert M. Evans, who discovered the growth hormone in the pituitary gland in 1921, was thissame substance. More has been learned about it inthe intervening years. The rats grew not only to what would be eightyyears of age in man, they grew into giants, morethan double their normal weight and size. Andthey were full of bounce and pep and sparkle. We are reminded of H. G. Wells' fascinating book ‘‘The Food of the Gods” in which he des­ cribed experiments which resulted in the discov-covery of a fabulous food of just such powers.Sme f the food was lost,and was eaten by insects, sects. These grew to dangerous proportions andbecame a threat to man’s existence.We are not alarmed about any such happeningin JCalifornia but we are interested in the pro­longation of healthy life. Old age beset by infirm­ities and derangements is a fearful thing.

To the Editor, The Ingersoll Tribune, Town. Sir:Within the last three months this district has seen your transform­ ation of an ordinary garden varietycounty newspaper into one of thesnappiest news journal, which is comparative to any metropolitan daily. Any denizen of Ingersoll will bear witness to this fact You will discover that having faith in Inger­ soll and community that likewise, Ingersoll and community will have faith in you. In the end we will both mutually benefit•Now to the point: It is relative to your correspondent of the Mount Elgin district . . One Sadie Hulk . . complaining of Mrs. E. Long’s ref­ erence to holliganism in a recent issue. It is not bo much an un­ warranted attack upon a worthy article that prompts this missive;but rather, it is the veiled aad das­ tardly hint that our new Tribune is only fit for "rapping the garbage” or being utilized as a doily under the baby’s Po chair”’! zWe are sure, Mr. Editor, that the majority of your many readers will resent this nefarious deed. Next week, Mrs. Hulk will voice a com­plaint that your excellent journal should go to press on Friday so as to enable her to wrap up the head, tail and entrail of Friday's fish in the latest edition. Or, mayhap, she'll smear it with cheese and place it in the pantry to entice mice. To raise funds for her Wo­ men’s Group, why doesn’t Mrs. Hulk get up a competition for novel usesof the Ingersoll Tribune? Some years ago one could dispose of used safety razor blades by sending them to Baker Lake or Chesterfield Inlet and swapping them for an eskimo’s wife. Why not a similiar contest for Oxford County, but use our used Tribunes instead? If so, Mr. Editor,I want Sadie.Sincerely,STAN SMITH. lAn. J. M. Malcolm was thespeaker at the Book Club last Thurs­day. Her talk was on books she had recently read with Biblical settings and the chief of these was The Robber, by Bertram Brooker. This is a new book by the Canadian artist, author and advertising ex­ ecutive. A previous book of his, Think of the Earth, won the Gov­ ernor General's medal a few yearsago. The Robber is a new treatmentof the story of Barabbas and heand the characters associated withhim are vividly portrayed. Mrs. Mal­colm read several passages from the book showing the development of the character of Barabbas as inter­ preted by this author. Another book recently published Jis a reverent story of the life of 'Christ, called The Greatest Story Told, by Fulton Oursler. Mrs. Mal­ colm particularly recommended this for young people to read. Antioch Actress, by J. R. Perkins is an excit­ing novel about the conflicts be-ween the early Christians and thestate in the year 200 A.D. This au­thor also wrote the much-liked Em­ peror’s Physician. In the aiscussion which followed Mrs. Malcolm’s interesting reviews,several other books of this type were mentioned such as Behold Your King, by Bauer, The Robe and The Big .Fisherman, by Douglas, The Scarlet Lily, by Murphy and TheNazarene by Scholem Asch. Theseand several others are at the Lib­rary and their popularity is shown by the fact that they are all circu­ lating. They are of course especially suitable reading for this Easter season. Miss Janet Maddell gave a fine five-minute talk on current events Editor, The Ingersoll Tribune. Dear Sir:—I would like to take this opportunity to express mycongratulations on the wonderful improvement of your paper, espec­ ially the pictures printed of certain “Ingersollite’s” which have been frequently inserted. It is very in­ teresting to we old boys to see pic­ tures of old acquaintances which we have not had the good fortuneof seeing for a number of years.

Priced from 50c and up SONGS BY BING CROSBY AND OTHERS Sixty Years With the Government We see that the thriving Oxford town of Inger- •oll has a new postmaster. The point of general interest is that the retiring postmaster, Mr. 8. A. Gibson, has completed 60 years of continuous service in the Ingersoll post office, which he en­ tered as a boy—thus he has known in his lifetime no employer save the Government of Canada. Mr. Gibson must be far beyond the Civil Ser­ vice retirement age of 65, but that does not mat­ ter in the Post Office department where the gov­ erning factor of retirement is not age but compe­ tence. But neither jjo postmasters come under the Government’s superannuation scheme, so the system has disadvantages as well aa advantages. We do not know whether Mr. Gibson’s case seta a departmental record, but there cannot be many postal employees with 60 years of continuous •ervice to their credit, and that in one office. And it is fair to suppose that he found the Govern­ ment, over his adult lifetime, a good employer. —Ottawa Journal. Water on the Farm .. No single piece of equipment can bo greatlyraise the farm standard of living and at the sametime Put? money in the farmer’s pocket, as a de­pendable supply of water on tap, says T. R. C.Rokeby, of the Agricultural Engineering Depart­ment. Tests have shown that dairy cattle, with wateralways available from water bowls,, produce upto 20 per cent more milk and up to 10 per centmore butterfat than without these conveniences.Time- and labor involved in turning stock out forwater is eliminated, * also chances of injury arereduced.—Fort William Times-JoumaL 57 Wellington Ave., Ingersoll, April 9th, 1949. Dear Mr. Editor: Isn’t it amazing that a lady of theSadie Hulk persuasion should havepainfully ploughed through such art­icles as “Hoolyganism” and the “Hobbyist”? That she didn't get the entire gist of the matter is hard­ ly to be wondered at, but what per­ severance it shows; what determina­ tion to express an opinion, when she steals from her laborious days an hour or so to compose such a letter. What intense yearning for higher education must burn in the soul ofthe illiterate, and what a pity therehas been no opportunity fqr the en­lightenment of this hard-worked mother of twelve, (or was it thir­ teen? I forget). Perhaps it could be arranged that she come into In­ gersoll and share the excellent classes in basic English that the Board of Education hold for our TIME TABLE CHANGES EFFECTIVE Sunday, Apr. 24,1949 Full information from agents Canadian National Railways ALBROUCH'S Music - Electric Appliances • Records Radio and Refrigeration Service 89 THAMES ST, PHONE 165 CANADA'S BIGGEST JACKPOT YOU MA ¥ m N IT Good-by “Topper” in the lush, opulent years when Britain was theeore of world industry and London's ThraadneedlaStreet, the centre of world finance, business menappeared In what amounted to a uniform so strictwas observance of the sartorial standard. A mo.ro- No Homework? One of the hottest debates regarding childrencentres around the problem of homework. A re­cent contributor to this discussion was PearlBuck, well-known writer. In receiving the award of the Children's BookCommittee of the Child Study Association ofAmerica, Inc. for her story, “The Big Wave,”Miss Buck made a plea to schools to abolish home­work in order to allow children to be free at homefor ■ “the important business of a child’s life—play.”American children lead a rigid life, overpressedwith homework and with no time for leisure, ac­cording to Miso Buck, who has had the opportun­ity of comparing American and Oriental attitudesin this connection. She describes school studies aa “heavy and dif­ficult” and declared that it was no wonder child­ren developed an aversion for books. Is this the true picture,, or are children on thiacontinent sheltered and npoilcd as no preceding generation has been? Probably the truth lies some­where between the two extremes. There is a great awareness of the importance of childhood years.Young people are protected by law in large meas­ ure against the shameful exploitation current inDickens’ day. Schools are expanding and improv­ ing—though gaps still exist in that field, aa a re­sult of past neglect of teachers and schools.

Thanks, Sadie, for that much co­ operation. As for the proposed visit, I shall be delighted to accept the invitation. Although I have never visited with backwoodsmen, it would be an ex­ perience I’d relish, and, doubtless, never forget.

On Sunday i morning, the choir stalls of St. James' Anglican Church presen­ ted a charming and novel appearance, each desk being decorated by a bou­ tonniere of roses, a graceful tribute to the members from Wardens, Messrs. S. King and T. H. Vann, who after the evening service addressed the choir, thanking them for their services dur­ ing the past year. Mr. J. S. Cameron, the secretary, and Mr. C. W. Newman, choirmaster and organist, replied in a few well chosen words. Such encour­ agement to the members of the choir deserves special mention, as although it is doubtless an honor to belong to such an organization, yet the work Is at times arduous and the critics hard to bear.

DUNN HARDWARE “Still Need More Money For Furnishings By Mrs. P. M. Dewan We feel you would like to know what progress we are making in financing the furnishings of the hospital and ofchoosing the furniture. You have been informed $17,370 has been pledged andnext week there will be additional names for the list. But we are still veryfar from our objective and we ought to know by June 15 just what funds will beavailable for furnishings. The firms re­ quire about six months to make the fur­niture. You see you can’t go into a store and see hospital bedroom, furniture. Itis sent directly from the factory to thehospital When the furniture is ordered about the end of June, we shall order accord­ ing to the money pledged. If sufficient money is not forthcoming, then not suf­ ficient furniture will be available forthe rooms, in no case wiU we buy in­ ferior furniture. Ingersoll’s hospital de­serves the best. The best doesn’t neces­ sarily mean the most money. It meansbuying standard hospital furniture tried out in other hospitals and which hasstood the test of time. The furnishings committee of theHospital Auxiliary early in the year wrote 12 small hospitals recently beenopened. We found out what furnishings they bought, where they bought and atwhat prices. Then we contacted all TIME TABLE CHANGES EFFECTIVE Sunday, April 24,1949 Full information from agent* CANADIAN PACIFIC ” - Mrs. Dewan firms making hospital furniture and each sent a man here. We visited sev­ eral recently-furnished hospitals (en­ tirely at our own expense) to see what they had chosen. All the superintend­ ents preferred the metal furniture firms are putting out. Most preferred uni­ formity in color throughout the rooms. AU cautioned us to buy only mattress­ es specially constructed for hospitals. Now we are receiving estimates and the prices quoted by these firms forprivate bed-room furniture, including Gatch bed, special mattress, bed-sidetable, over-bed table, dresser with mir­ ror (all of these have fomica tops whichwill not be injured by any medicine and ■which add considerably to the price),side chair, easy chair and footstool range in prices from $430 to about $410.When you add to that the prices of drapes, chenille spread and rug, pic­ture, thermos set, sheets, pillow cases, blankets, throw, day spreads, mattresscover, you can see where the price is not far from $500. in the wards there will be less furni­ ture, but there is the additional price ofcubicle curtains at $40 a bed and lockers at $47 50 each. There are only twh^flrms who tender furnishings for the whole hospital, Eat­on's and Simpson’s special contract de­ partments have a non-profit specialhospital department. They are prepar­ ing plans and will come here with theirsuggestions. Monday. April 25. the Simpson's rep­resentative will be here, to discuss his plans with the Hospital Auxiliary*, andthe suggestions from Eaton’s will be re­ ceived when they advise us they areready. From these discussions we ought to get a good idea of the over-all pic­ture of the furnishings of the hospital and from that be able to arrive at someconclusion. NORSWORTHY CHAPTER Members of the Norsworthy Chapter, LO.D.E., heard an outstanding address by Mrs. J. D. Detweiler, M.B.E., of Lon­don, at their regular meeting in th* “Y.” The speaker, now national educa­tional secretary, was introduced by Mrs P. E. Tuck, and spoke on “The BritishEmpire. Past and Future." A general picture was drawn of how the Empirehad grown and the work and money in­ volved in bringing up the colonies until they became self-governing dominions. Britain, the speaker, declared, had nev­ er tried to enforce her will on those countries and had imparted her talent for government to their betterment It was pointed out the situation in Britain was grim and now was the time to takestock and realize the cost of the war to Britain. How long, she asked, wouldthe slender threads of tradition and the symbol of the crown hold the Empiretogether? The I.O.D.E. was pledged to that crown and Empire, and much workwas ahead for members if they wished to see that Empire remain united. Mrs.Detweiler stressed the importance ol educational work.Mrs. Detweiler, wife of the professor of zoology at Western University, hastaken a keen interest in the educational work of the Order since 1921. She wasfirst a primary educational convener, and later provincial educational secre­ tary. She was made a life member ol the Order in 1945. She was also deeply interested in Y.W.C.A. work and theLocal Council of Women, and so dis­ tinguished herself in 1946 was chosenone of the outstanding women of Cana­ da, and in 1947 was made an M.B.E.Mrs. H.

It is not generally advisable to plant most species of hardwoods, as they are frequently difficult togrow. Rabbits often cause heavydamage in hardwood plantations.However, hardwoods can be mixed with conifers in certain cases, givinga mixed plantation. Species recommended for lumber production include red, white and jack pine, white and Norway spruce, white elm, white ash, silver maple and red oak.For fence posts, black locust andwhite cedar are desirable. However, any of the pines or European larchmay be used for posts, but suehposts will require creosoting, or other preservative treatment Red pine is the most suited for production of telephone and tele­ graph pole* It is straight, strong, and has a relatively high growthrate. Although white cedar may bethe preferred species, due to its low growth rate, it is not the best to plant for thi* purpose. to: vDepartment of Lands and Forests, Stratford, Ontario.

Cunning­ham answers his telephone he knowswhat to expect “You'd better comeover right away," says a harassed housewife, “There’s a deer in my kitchen!" Cunningham operates an amateur zoo on the outskirts of Ingersoll, and while this zoo serves its funda­ mental purpose of attracting busi­ ness to Cunningham’s motel, it also provides the owner with *a new and painless form of exercise. This con­ sists of roadwork—chasing furry little animals that spring their coops to run up hill and down dale.“My pets aren’t- restless or un­ happy”, 'Cunningham insisted. "During the week there aren’t many visitors to the zoo. Willie and Susie are anxious to make friends." Willie and Susie are 0eer with .a penchant for nicotine. They romp around a two-acre woodland behind the motel, munching cigarettes. When that doesn’t satisfy they clear a six-foot fence that leads to bright­ er worlds.“But they come back for supper,” Cunningham reminded. “I’ve had them since the zoo started." got to him by stepladder. The tourists recovered in time topictures. U.S. take Cunningham had some geese but they got away in the "big break” last autumn. That night a trailer truck was parked in the yard out­ side the motel with its brakes off. The truck slid downhill, crashing the fence and scaring heck out ofWillie, Susie and all the rest “I was out all night rounding upthe crew," said Cunningham. “Thegeese went off honking and I neversaw them again for a month. Thenthey were floating down the river. Willie and Susie caught theirfirst glimpse of Ingersoll’s s'nudythoroughfares during the escapade.It wasn’t their last. “They go for a stroll about once a week,” Cunningham said. "No­ body worries, because they’re well known. Tthe other day I wasn’t even looking for Willie when I saw a crowd of kids coming down the street Right in the centre was Willie. He loves children.” Cunningham has plans for his zoo this summer with Bruno getting a new home. If things go right a baby wildcat will arrive on the scene. In this case a real, honest-to-goodnes? cage would have to be built “I’m working on that now," saidCunningham. “People get such akick out of animals. I want tomake this zoo first class. There isn’t a good zoo in this part of the country.

EXCLUSIVE DEALERS Coyle & Greer CREDIT JEWELLERS Opposite Post Office • Ingersoll Animals Ungrateful Cunningham's zoo has a floating population since some animals show a- shocking lack of gratitude by staying away—supper and all. That’s what happened to three red foxes who broke loose in a very in­ genious manner, only to be seenhalf an hour later roaming the mainstreet of Ingersoll. Before they left these foxes killed a couple of pheasants.“I also lost a raccoon that was really wild," Cunningham said. “He gnawed through the bottom of his pen. He bit people, so I couldn’t keep him anyway.” Cunningham's zoo has a new rac­ coon, the deer, a melancholy porcu­ pine, ducks and that true humorist, Bruno, the bear. This latter is given to wandering, too. Only last month a housewife was baking pies when she felt a strange presence at her shoulder. It was Bruno all right The housewife ran out a-screaming and Bruno went at the pies. Bruno has an inner urge to ride a bicycle, Cunningham is consider­ ing lessons."If somebody draws near the cage on a two-wheeler, Bruno's eyes light up and he fusses,” Cunning­ham said. "One day last year a car­ load of U.S. tourists stopped in theyard with luggage stacked on top ofthe ear. On top of the luggage wasa'tricycle. Well, you tin guesswhat happened.” Buno spent 15 minutes astride the tricycle atop the car before they OH, MY FATHER Air: "OK (Our Keating) Favorite” To a college bent on knowledge, Came the students, score on score Do these scholars bring their dol­lars?

OF Maple syrup is going to be a raredelicacy this year, if output of localsugar bushes is a criterion, accord­ing to producers" in the Ingersollarea. “This year has been as poor as I've ever known,” said one man whohas been making maple syrup for 25-30 years. “The big reason is be­ cause it was too nice during thewinter. For instance, men cutting wood in February found the sap go­ ing up then. Now, in this nice wea­ ther, you’d think it would, be going up, but it isn’t. I guess it’s all up there.” He said fewer and fewer people seem to be making maple syrup or sugar in this area these years, and suggested one reason might be mounting cost of fuel for boiling, “and you know,” he said, “I hear people tolling of how they used to use 30 gallons of sap to get a gallon of syrup, but it seems to me we need at least 50. “Whether sap is getting thinner, or the trees poorer, I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem worth the effortany more. I know we got so poorresults we just gave up. Therewon’t be much syrup on the market this year.” Leader PROGRESSIVE CONSRVATIVE PARTY will speak Thursday Night April 21st ON THE SUBJECT "THE NATION’S BUSINESS” CBL TORONTO 7:45 P.M., E .S.T. — THE PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE PARTY — Miss Margaret Tallant Heads Catholic Group The annual meeting of the Inger­ soll Subdivision of the Catholic Wo­ men’s League was held April 6th, at the home of Mrs. A.

We believe Mr. Knott wasso intent on contacting, the bus driv­ er on the south side of the road that he did not see the oncoming car in time to avoid being struck and prob­ ably due to dark clothing being worn he could not be readily noticed by the driver of the oncoming car who was watching for alighting pas­ sengers from the eastbound bus.” The jury was composed of: P.

The pro­ ducts of the surrounding farms and forest could now find easy access to world markets from the village that once had seen cargoes shipped by water down the Thames from the port of Oxford. Then began the real attack on the forest for wood could now be sold, wheat was worth more and the art of making cheese was already in practice. PILESks.^s DR.

NO WAXING The American civil war broke out in 1860 and in spite of the fact that the Northern States were fighting to abolish slavery yet Eng­ land found herself to some extent lined-' up with the Confederate States. The result was that after some unpleasant incidents at sea, trade between England and the Northern States was broken off and at once the demand for Canadian wheat, dairy products, etc., ad­ vanced as it were overnight. The need for more cleared land to raise wheat and fodder for dairy herds became so important that we are told the sound of the axe could be heard in any part of the country throughout the long wintar months and the tall lines of trees rapidly receded to the backjn the holdings. All this meant more trade for Ingersoll. Our merchant business increased in numbers and in vol­ ume, and our tradesmen were verybusy. The population had kept pace with the expansion of trade and inthe year 1864 Ingersoll found that she had outgrown the village stage and would be incorporated as a town at the end of the year. As has been said these were times of national and international import­ ance. The American civil war ended in 1864 and the Fenian scare was beginning to be felt The Fathers of Confederation were already talk­ ing about the possibility of the un­ ion of all Canadian provinces into a Dominion, also the plans for the big cheese had been laid. The last village council was as follows: John Galliford, Reeve; Dr. D. M. Robertson, Deputy Reeve, and Jas. Noxon, R. McDon­ ald, Arthur O’Connor, Councillors, with R- A. Woodcock, Clerk, and Ed. Doty, Treasurer. There was keen rivalry among our leading cit­ izens as to who should have the honor of representing the new town in its first municipal council The result of the election gave as in 1865 Adam Oliver, Mayor; James McCaughey, Reeve; and Edward Barker, Deputy Reeve, with James Bell,, Aaron Christopher, James Noxon, R. H. Carroll, Edward Bar­ ker, C. P. Hall, Councillors, the clerk and treasurer remaining as in 1864.* possibly the inauguration of oui advanced status was not celebrated as such events often are, for at this time Canada was menaced by the so- called Fenian raids and the young men from Ingersoll were called out with the Oxford Rifles and travelled to the Niagara Peninsula. These raids, no doubt, hastened the con- sumation of Confederation of the provinces into the Dominion of Can­ ada. Thus Ingersoll as a town is 84 years old, older than the Dominion of Canada. We have had rapid ex­ pansion at times and have suffered (some grave set backs, but on the(whole our town has slowly and sure- fly advanced in many ways until to- |day we have one of the most pro- [gressive towns in Western Ontario |and most of our citizens are looking forward with optimism to a sure and steady expansion of a commun­ ity that will be as good a place to live as any other town, any where. IntercityThe Oxford Dairy took four pointe to Bradfield’s two points at the National Alleys Saturday night in a match that proved to be a fastone, us both teams were really hit­ ting the pins for some good scores.

It was the * common custom, years ago, to rise ' early and watch the sun’s rays dance on pans of water which were 1 set out as mirrors.
