This was indicated at council meeting Monday night when all councillors agreed something had to be done right away to remedy what was described as “the frightful condition” of the roads. A survey is to be made, and further meetings called, to determine approximately how much money will be required to do the job. Add Mills R. V. Anderson, consulting engineer on the sewage project, recommended that council ask permission to raisethe money, suggesting it be treated as a continuation of the sewer pro­gram, rather than a new paving project. Warwick Marshall, town solicitor,estimated: “If we went to the Municipal Board and asked for $125,000, it wouldmean an increase of approximately 3’4 mills on the present assessment.” He said Ingersoll was authorized to have a debenture debt up to $1,010,000.It was* now $982,851, or approximately $157 per capita. An extra $120,000 bond issue would raise the per capita debt to $177. He recalled that last year, when the town was authorized to raisean extra $160,000, they -were warned not to come back for a long time.“They told us not to come to the trough too often,” he said.When Mr. Anderson asked if he were to continue on the job, Mayor Dr. debentures,” said Mr. Anderson. "I figure it might cost as much as last year—around $77,000.” Mr. Anderson said the contractorcould not be blamed for the condition of the roads. “We might as well takethe plunge now, and get the roads fixed,” he urged. “It only means a couple of mills. But you’ve got to bewary about throwing away $10,000.” There were chuckles. “Why start now?” someone asked. "I get lectures every week about the roads,” said Councillor Ranger.“When the people voted on the sewer project, it was understood thestreets were to be restored as before the sewers,” asserted George Preston. He charged that Councillor Morrison had told the people last year the town was $4,000 or so to the good, althoughit had a big debt “That’s untrue,” said Mr. Morrison. "You misled the people,” retortedMr. Preston. “I did not—I never misled the peoplein my life,” Mr. Morrison said. “Your intelligence dr your knowledge of thesematters is nil.” Mr. Ranger said New Liskeard was $1,000,000 in debt, got a government expert up and a year later the town was clear. He suggested Ingersoll dothe same. “Gosh, yes, bring him up," shoutedsomeone. “That chap jnust have found a gold Councillor Wurker suggested the town get a watering cart to help keepdown the dust and give the house­ wives a break.,"Forget about oil until the streets are fixed,” he said.“If we need one—we’d need half a dozen watering trucks," suggested J. G. Murray suggested that perhapsE A. Washbum, public utilities head, might be asked to take over the job of putting the streets in order. A great deal of the lengthy meeting dealt with condition of the streets.L. A. Westcott wrote that Wellington St and Wellington Ave. were “a dis­grace to any community, but nothing seems to be done about it"“Every time it rains they’re a sea of mud,” he said. --------------r ---------------- Town Clerk Winlaw said approxi- mine," laughed another, mately 25 petitions for oiling streets ” ’ had come in but all had asked that thestreets be repaired first Squire Moyer said Willjam St was terrible. “Arewe going to be smothered by it again?” “We need money to fix the streets," said the mayor, “but we haven't gotany."dozen watering“The only thing to do is issue more I Councillor Kerr. TEA NOT EVEN DISTURBED AS THREE SCRAMBLE FOR THEIR LIVES Jimmy Smith, the Tribune’s photographer,was on the scene only minutes after three men had jumped for their lives when their train piled into some standing freight cars on themain line at William Stone Sons Ltd. The engine’s whistle was still blowing when Jimmy bagged this picture which appeared on the front page of The Toronto Star. Fantastic as it may seem, while Ivan Rowell, engineer;Robert Murray, fireman and W. G. McGirr, brakeman, were scrambling for their lives as the engine toppled over, W. C. Sillifant, con- ductor, was having a spot of tea back in the caboose, barely aware anything serious was going on. “There was only a slight shudder,” he said. “I was amazed when I saw what had happened. My tea didn’t spill a drop.” Two Tots Set Out to Sea And Wind Up Well Soaked “Give You All A Spanking” Warns Sam, Quitting Post Sam Gibson said farewell and Bob Wark took over as postmaster at a ceremony in the post office Monday, when a group of the town’s citizens, led by J. Vem Buchanan, who or­ ganized the ceremony, presented gifts to Mr. and Mrs. Gibson and lauded their many contributions to the ad­ vancement of Ingersoll. First, Councillor Morrison, represent­ ing the mayor, explained to Sam what was going on. Then John J. McLeod read a beribboned address, extollingMr. Gibson's many virtues, and pre­ sented it to him, along with a money order similar to the thousands Sam had issued during his 60 years in the post office. Walter Thurtell presented Mrs. Gibson with roses and TommyLee, on behalf of the gathering, gave Sam a box of his favorite cigars. Mr. Gibson paid tribute to all themembers of his staff, and to Bob Wark, the new postmaster. Mr. Gibson alsointroduced to the crowded office various post office dignitaries present for theoccasion. They included: J. W. Stewart, district post office inspector, who said Sam was “an outstanding postmaster";W. E Pearson, postmaster at London; W. J. May, retired district director ofpostal services, to whom Sam referred as “my old boss”; and J. A. Flahertyand A. W. Poole, post office inspectors. "No postmaster I know is more highly regarded,” said Mr. May. “Since Fm the only man in this roomwho was at school with Sam, I must offer my best wishes,” said Mr. F. A. Ackcrt “I was there, too,” differed HanyBower. “Didn’t think you were in the sameclass,” chuckled Mr. Ackert In another address, the assembledgroup congratulated Bob Wark and wished him and his wife, who wasalso present, all success. Then Bob, on behalf of the staff,presented a small cabinet to Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, and flowers to Gibson. ' *Tve enjoyed working with you all," said Sam, “and I’ll be back now and then. If everything isn’t running okay, Hl give you all a good spanking." Mrs. First Margarine Off Line Monday The first pound of oleo-margarine produced in Ingersoll will come off the production line this Monday, Gordon Henry of the Ingersoll Cheese Co. tells The Tribune. After months of building and installation, Ingersoll’s newest plant and indus­ try got underway almost to the day Mr. /Henry predicted some time ago. Two little tots went for a sail in a gravel pit near Kensington Park on Tuesday and the venture nearly ended in disaster. The youngsters were Gary Shew- an, 4, son of Mr- an^ Mrs. Brock Shewan, and Pete Kestle, three this Friday, son of Mr. and Mrs. Uoyd Kestle. Mrs. Shewan dashed into the water and pulled out Pete just after he had fallen off their “craft”. Mrs. Lewis Helmer said the youngsters had found the n ft of old railway ties on the bank, had climbed aboard and put out to sea with Pete sitting on a cheese box. "Mary Shewan and I had just got to the scene when Pete fell in. He was flat in the water, flailing in all directions. It was hard to tell how deep it was, but I think he might have, made it himself. However Mary dashed right in and hauled him out. “In the meantime,” she added, “Gary had gotten a bit frightened when he saw us, and had jumped out and started to shore on the other side on his own. They were right in the middle at the time?’ Mrs. Helmer said she thought the raft had been left by some older youngster?. “That hole is dangerous,” she added Ask More Interest In Church Work Name R.

The Oxford Dairy Boys will be competing in both London and Hamilton Tourn­ aments in the next couple of weeks. A drive to get more men inter­ ested in Sunday School work and to get more people interested in the work of the church generally, will be undertaken this fait This was decided May 3 at the meeting of the Anglican Laymen’s Association of Oxford Deanery at St James’ Anglican Church. The vice-president, W. A. C. Forman, acted as chairman.-The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rural Dean of Oxford, Rev. Carman J. Queen. Extensive discussion centred upon the great lack of men-workers in our Sunday Schools. The speaker, the Very Rev, R. Charles Brown, dean of the diocese of Huron and rector of St. PauTs Cathedral, London, was introduced by Rev. John Davies, rector ef Old St, Paul’s Church in Woodstock. Dean Brown gave a most challen­ ging address, pointing out that the church -people of today haw® a real obligation upon them to implant anew the great moral and religionsprinciples of living together. “We must also recall those people who have deserted the church and whose lives are a contradiction of the Christian profession”, he said. The world to-day has no king except Caesar en masse which is a symbol of materialism, world power and selfishness, he said. “All this must be changed and there is no time to be lost,” the speaker declared. "Every man and woman who call themselves a Christian must be ready and willing to make Christ in our own lives and in the world at C. W. Riley extended thanks to Dean Brown for such a challenging and inspirational discourse. Lunch was served by the men of St. James* Church- Rev. D. Crawford, R.

Bob did every job there was and became assistant sup­ erintendent a year ago. His new assistant, also appointed May 1, is Jack Cole, who has been with the plant for 12 years. y Mr- Hutt is married, with three children,.Bob, Suzanne and Michael. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Ada Thomas and family wish to express their sincere appreciation to their many friends and neighbors for their kind thoughts, loan of cars and beautiful flowers during their sad bereavement; also many thanks to Rev. C. D. Daniel, Dr. Cornish The praises of Joan Partlo, 12, • King St., were being sung in many circles today following some “good Samaritan” action Sunday in which many Ingersoll citizens took part. Joan happened to be in Memorial Park Sunday afternoon when she saw a group of kiddies in ragged clothes playing ball. Looking fur­ ther, she saw two other kiddies, one four and one only 23 months old, sitting on the grass, tired, hungry and the rags that were their clothes filthy. This was around 6 o’clock. *‘I was afraid the little kids would die of cold,” she said- Joan took the two kiddies down to the stream, carefully washed them, changed the little baby, using the only thing she had, a towel, as a diaper, and then went back home to get some sandwiches to feed them. Some other boys around chip­ ped in chocolate bars and pop. Then Joan began to ask questions. Four of thJ youngsters were of one family. There was a boy, 14, a girl, 11 and the two youngest, both boys. All were running around barefoot that raw damp day. “They hadn’t had anything to eat since the night before,” she said. "They told me that their whole family had been ordered from their Beachville home the night before. They had got supper and shelter Saturday night, but had nothing ahead of them—except the park—Sunday. Their father was in jaiL Their mother brought them to the park and left them at three o’clock, saying she was going back to Beach­ ville to get some blankets and things to spend the night in the park.” Around 9 p.m., with no mother in sight, Joan carried the two youngest down to the police station, where Constable Dennis Alsop was in charge, and the place soon took on the air of a nursery. Constable Alsop said it all began the night before. The mother and four youngsters had arrived late Saturday night, looking for some place to sleep. Constable Alsop called Capt Acton of the Salvation Army, and the captain said to put them in some cabins, the Army would foot the bill. Give then* supper too, he said, and they were all fed at a local hotel. The next thing Constable Alsop knew was when Joan led them in the following night—minus the mother. Mayor Dr. 'J. G. Murray okayed pur­ chase of food for them. Alf Schaef­ fer ran all over town trying to lo­ cate clothing for the youngster*, and got Nifty Naftolin up, who al­ though it was almost midnight, came down to his store and got clothing for the oldest girl, who wore nothing but a ragged dress. Mrs. Sharman took over care of the children, with the baby sleeping: in a cell, until Dick Clowes of the Children’s Aid, arrived and took, them all back to Woodstock. ’’Joan deserves a great deal of credit,” said Constable Alsop. Easing o f Jams At Crossing Seen Possible action to end traffic tie- ups at the Thames St. rail crossing is being investigated by the C.N.R., Councillor Wurker informed coun­ cil Monday. He said they had con­ ferred with J. A. Murphy, district C.NJR. superintendent, on the situa­ tion, and the railway was most anxious to solve the problem. “I feel considerable relief will be shown as a result of the action contemplated by the C.N.R.,” said Mr. Wurker.

While the C.N.R. was busy William Stone Sons Monday trying to clear the track after one of its trains had piled into some standing freight cars, a CJP.R. engine gently ran off the tracks on the other sideof the plant and Sutherland Con­ struction Co. were hard at work rescuing a bull-dozer which had slid into the river. Both engine and bulldozer were back in no time, with little or no harm done.

Ever since it was disclosed that only that amount had been received at Woodstock campaign headquarters, as the contribution for Ingersoll, Beachville and Thamesford, money has been flowing into The Tribune office and into Woodstock.The actual total at press time was $1685 -----with more pledged, bringing it to over $1700. The quota is $1800, and it seems almost a certainty the quota will be exceeded by nextweek. First to report in,. after last week’s “Shame On Us” article, was Beachville. In a thorough campaign, they had collected $206 and some cents, but it was still at Beachville.No one in Woodstock knew about it as the campaign wasofficially concluded. It just hadn’t been collected. Mr. Ken Magnall headed the drive. Since then, too, another $16 wassent in. Then Mr. Ed. Byerman, at Thamesford, reported theyhad $294.50 waiting there. Nine canvassers with Arthur Richardson well in the van, scoured the area and quite rightly they were proud of their collection. They had fully expectedsomeone would have collected their pioney long before. Then various personalities and industries in the area, as generous as the people in the Ingersoll-Beachville-Thamesfordarea have been, started bringing in or mailing in money. There was five dollars from here, and $34 from there, and $1 from someone else. One firm sent in $50, and anothergroup sent in $400. Many, asked by letter to help bolster whatappeared to be a poor response, sent contributions direct to Woodstock. By, Thursday, the total at Woodstock was $699.75.At Ingersoll it was almost $1,000, with more coming. By next week, it should be over $1800. Good going, everybody. Too often Art Nunn has returned to the Ingersoll Machine shop, with his arms outstretched to indicate the size of his latest catch via hook and line, only to be greeted with frankly skeptical guffaws This time he’s taking no chances. He’s having It mounted. Art is positively busting all over as a result of the speckled trout he bagged opening day last Saturday. Itwas 18 inches long and weighed just a mite uqder three pounds. It was the biggest Art had ever caught inall his years of fishing. “I think it’s one of the biggest ever caught around here," be said. “Browntrout that size or bigger aren’t un­ usual but a brook or speckel trout isdifferent. I’m not even going to eat this fellow — I'm going to have himmounted." Art was out with his cousin, Aub Nunn. They had little trouble making, their bag. "But when I hooked this one," he said, “I had to have a little help” It was big enough that The Toronto Star used a picture of his daughter,Jo-Ann, 4, posing with it Asked where he caught it, Art said Miss Hilda McMillen Dies In Cleveland Word has been received of the the death in Cleveland of Miss Hilda McMillen, daughter of Mrs, Rebecca Louise McMillen, and the Ute Rev.

It consists in giving in serving others.——Henry Drummond Let Grandeur of Spring Wipe Your Worries Away This is the kind of weather when working for a living should be made illegal. All the year round we muse that it seems a shame that man has to de­ vote a very great part of a very short life just in orper to survive. But it is at this time of the year when just how criminal it is really hits us. It is the time of year when everyone breathes deep and says isn’t it good to be elive. The earth is coming to life. Birds of every hue and note are every­ where. The trees are bursting forth and the streams and rivulets are running all over the coun­ tryside in gay abandon, giving forth the pleasant music not heard for many months. And now the the trout are in the midst of their annual battle of wits with the followers of Izaak Walton. For the fish it is a nerve-wracking time, but for us, nothing can be more relaxing than a day in one of Ox­ ford’s streams, in our quiet way trying to outwit one of thost tricky little fighters. Perhaps you don’t care to fish; then just take a drive, or even a walk into the country, and let your cares and problems vanish, even if only for the day, in the magic, the beauty, the grandeur that is spring. Save Wild Life While We Still Have It Conservationists and all who look to continu­ance of Ontario’s wild life, will welcome the de­cision of the Provincial Government that therewill be no open season for moose this year in theprovince. Figures released some time ago forAlgoma showed that hunters are taking out mooseat a rate which if left, unchecked would soonhave destroyed this species entirely. Kenora and Rainy River have had no open season for moosefor ten years, and now this wise policy is to beexpanded to cover all of Ontario.A similar policy will have to be established forall our game fish and wild life if we are to main­tain them for ourselves and as a tourist attract­ ion. As things are we are running hog wild in our destruction of wild life. In too many Instanceswe hhve come to fish for number.'), and not forspoil, or for eating. Both we of Ontario and cer­ tain of our American cousins when they visit us are offenders in thia way.Gregory Clark, writer and angler, told the Kingston Rod and Gun Club that in his opinion:—“The United States has not enough money to payfor what they are taking out of the country . . -Canadians are making a spectacle of themselvesin their frantic effort to peddle Canada for theAmerican dollar.*’ Americans, he said, had usedup their own resources and now come to Canadato play the same role with out natural resources.•The first thing we have got to do,” he continued,“is to take policy-making of the tourists question out of the hands of those who make a profit fromthe tourist industry.”There is however, more than this to it Can­adians themselves, are also guilty of destroyingour natural assets. What is required now is a newGovernment policy of conservation in Ontario.We must conserve all our natural resources. Wemust have legislation with teeth in it and severepenalties for violation. We must look at timber and wild life as a crop to be protected so thatthey shall yield a harvest regularly in the years ahead.We must keep the Northland for our children as well as enjoy it ourselves. And in any suchover-all policy there must be provision to curbthe custom of some commercial fishermen whoplay their part in the destruction of our fishresources. Dead game fish thrown out of the nets and undersize fish taken in gill nets are part ofthe unnecessary fish loss we suffer every season.—From (London Free Press 48 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, MAY IS, 1901 On Wednesday of Isst week, Mr. E.

In a /own where a lot of people seem to be very busy doing a great number of things—for other people, that is—one > man still sticks out He’s Gordon Pittock, of Wil- 1 liam Stone Sons, From the very first, we’d heard 1 of Gord. Pittock. Mention almost anything going 1 on and you find that he’s in it If his church is planning a program, Gordon’s there. When the Y*s Men want to do something, Gordon is very much more. And the Thames Valley project, so far as Ingersoll is concerned, will be virtually a monu­ ment to his labors. We’ve known Gordon four months and all that time he’s been going 24 hours a day, and then some. He’s here, there and every­ where—everywhere but at home, enjoying some measure of home life. Our advice to him is to take some time and relax and enjoy himself. But he won’t There has been talk of a town manager for Ingersoll, to “sell” Ingersoll to Industry and the world at large as the place to work and to live. Chatham got one, a man named Gray, who has made Chatham the town of the year for several years in a row. It's no part-time job—Gray is a highly-paid official of the town. If Ingersoll ever reached the stage where it was felt a full-time town manager should—and could—be afforded, Gordon Pittock is our nomination. Perhaps no one knows the town and its advantages and disadvant­ ages better than Gordon, and no one could do a better job of selling the town, f Back to the Horse The Farmer’s Advocate of London appears tobe badly shaken over the discovery that some ofthe people it serves are. now using margarine.“It is cause for dismay and disgust,” it lamentseditorially, “that so many farmers, many of themdairymen, should join the parade and becomeusers of a product that is in direct competitionwith the the one they work so hard to produce.”That doesn’t seem like a very up-to-date argu­ ment for one of the country’s most progressiveagricultural papers. If the Canadian farmer fol­lowed such reasoning and refused to make use ofany competitve product, where would he be?He would have to give up the automobile andthe tractor, for certainly these started out at leastas competitors of the horse. He would have to giveup coffee, tea, cotton, bricks, cement, and thous­ands of other things because they all compete withsomething that the farmer could grow and makeon his own farm if he really had to do so.Spokesmen for butter seem to have been lean­ing on an illegal monopoly for so long that thevery thought of normal competition prevents themfrom seeing or thinking clearly. At any rate, ifthere is any valid reason why Canada should re­strict a wholesome and nutritious food productwhich every other civilized country is glad to use,our butter people haven’t been able to offer it.—Financial Post.

Perhaps we should be more like Sadie Hulk this month just “doing what comes naturally". But even Sadie seems to feel the stir­ rings of curiosity and self-improve­ ment and tike the rest of us is “fixing up the parlour” and splashing a bit of paint about The current periodi­ cals are full just now of wonderful tips on decorating, and three of the most popular of these are available at the library, American Home, Canadian Garden and Home, and Better Homes and Gardens. The American Home this month, forinstance, has an article on rehabil­itating summer furniture for the porchand lawn. Besides, in this issue there are several good ideas for May partiesand for showers, and tips to bridesbuying silver. By the way, in prep­aration for the usual requests at thistime of years for information about the planning of weddings, the libraryhas added a new book called “CompleteWedding Etiquette’,’ which really livesup to the word, complete. Mrs. Harri­man’s and Emily Post’s books are also available, as well as the popular “Howto Plan and Enjoy Your Wedding."We expect a call from Mrs. Hulk orTillie for one of these any day now. One more useful article that might be mentioned, also in the May issue ofAmerican Home, is May Facts andFancies.

INGERSOLL CITIZENS’ SALVAGE COMMITTEE What Others S ay : High Price of Mice From a legal standpoint, the judgment in the case of Walter Mills versus his landlord is most unsatisfactory. Walter Mills is the young manin Shrewsbury, England, who appealed to the lo­ cal rental tribunal for a reduction in the rent for his cottage because it had (a) mice, or (b) a mouse wearing heavy shoes. Said Mr. Mills: “If as the landlord says, there is only one mouse in the cottage, it must have clogs on. The noise istemfic. The tribunal reduced the rent from 25shillings weekly to 17 shillings 6 pence. Judging by the news report, the court at this 'point lost air interest in Mr. Mills and his mouse,or mice. Its undetailed judgment has denied the flegal world a decision which might have been >cited with some authority in courts elsewhere. If '•there is one thing a lawyer dearly loves to haveat hand, it is a well-rounded precedent If • the Spring is the Time of Year To be Conservation Minded The coming of spring, in any land, is a time of stock-taking and of new hope; it tis a time whichnaturally brings to the mind of the farmer or thecity dweller alike, thoughts of pleasant woodlands,grassy meadows and babbling streams. A tight ofthe rolling countryside around St. (Marys cannotfail in springtime to awaken in most persons afeeling of goodness, of thankfulness for the landthat has been given to us to care for . . . yet old-timers cannot help but feel that much has beendone to detract from this fair area in the past halfcentury.Those who can remember the same roads andfields of half a century ago. will also rememberthe great belts of bush, which stretched across therear acres of every farm in the Nissouris, Blan-shard, Downie and Fullarton. For the most part,those great woodland belts are now reduced to aslender line of trees, or have disappeared altoget-ther. Years of cattle pasturage and cutting hasaccomplished this task of destruction, so that to­day one may look in springtime not only across thefields to the next concession line, but one may seeseveral miles in any direction.The coming of spring is the time to think of con­servation. It is a time of planting and that goesfor trees as well as oats and barley. Depending up- ■on how well the seed is sown, will be the harvest tocome and in the matter of woodland this will meanthe harvest of 50, 60, yes 80 years hence. To passon the heritage of the present, there must be a plan for the future, and so far as farming in thisdistrict is concerned, all a good land owner of the present can do, is to see that his acres are tilledand fostered and his woodlands are preserved or extended in a way that those who are to followwill say, “He was a good man, a good citizen of the land.’’—St. Marys Joumal-Argus. l u x o r Mr. and Mrs. A.

READERS OF THE TRIBUNE WILL RECALL THE STORY AND PICTURE SOME WEEKS AGO OF RUSSELL DESMOND, OF INGERSOLL, AND AN OLD CHAIN-DRIVEN WATCH HE RECEIVED IN PART PAY­ MENT FOR WORK DONE FOR FRIENDS HERE. MR. DES­ MOND TOOK IT DOWN TO THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUS­EUM THE OTHER DAY TOGET AN EVALUATION, ANDTHE FOLLOWING STORY AP­ PEARED IN THE TORONTOSTAR: Russell Desmond of Ingersoll, has :an old French watch which may be , worth thousands of dollars, or it . may be worth nothing, and there ; isn't a man in the country who can ! tell him. Two years ago Mr. Desmond, a machine operator, did some work for which he charged $35. He ac­ cepted the watch and $10 in cash as payment Now he thinks the time­ piece may be worth $8,000 but there’s nowhere he. can go to find out What makes him think it is valu­ able is the fact it is chain drivenand bears the inscription inside thedase: “Etienne le Noir, Paris.” There’s no date, but Mr. Dfrmnrt!'earned from F 8t G. bpendlove,keeper vi the modern Europeancollection at the Royal Ontario Museum, that the name LeNoir is well-known in French watch and clock making, that eight members of the family were engaged in the art around the middle of the 18th century and that Etienne was the most celebrated of the lot, and was active aboud 1740. • None Like Hi* Le Noir Friday, Mr. Desmond drove downfrom Ingersoll to the museum to letthe experts see his watch. Mr. Spend­ love was unfortunately out of town and there wasn’t another official who felt expert enough to make an accurate appraisal. Besides, he learned, the museum isn’t allowed to evaluate the monetary worth of objects. Mr. Desmond saw a good many watches in the Sutcliffe Smith col­lection at the museum, but therewasn’t anything there like his LeNoir. The officials wanted him to| leave the watch for Mr. Spendlove • to see on his return, but Mr. Des­ mond decided he‘d like to see if : any Toronto watchmakers value it. He soon found out none They were vfery interested in the1 item, admitted its antiquity, purred ■ over it, but were at a loss to ap­ praise it All the available cata­ logues go back only 150 years, and none could even testify to its being ► genuine or not. No Old Expert* Now 1 “I don’t honestly think there’s a 1 man in Canada who could appraise ' and set a value on it,” confessed ' one prominent expert, who at 62 ad­ mitted he had a lot still to learn. i “All the collectors who could have catalogued it have been dead , for yean.” Mr. Desmond recognizes he is lost without the help of the experts. He’s not even quite sure whether to call his Le Noir a watch or a clock.About two-and-one-half inches in diameter, the watch is an inch thick,and has a gold alloy case heavilyengraved. The spring is wound andthe hands are turned by a key aslarge as those used for many grand­father clocks. It has a fast andslow regulator which has to be turn­ ed by key also, and the balance wheel at the back of the works is protected by an ornate pure silver guard. “It keeps good time and has to be wound only once every 24 hours,” Mr. Desmond relates. Can’t Replace Gia** The face bears Roman numeralsfor the hours, in blue enamel on awhite background. At one time ithad a glass protecting front, but Mr. Desmond broke the- glass and so far has been unable to have it re­ placed. Beyond this he knows noth­ ing of its history other than the lady from whom he got it re­ ceived it in turn from a lady for whom she was doing some house­cleaning.He first gave some thought to the watch’s possible value after a friend drew his attention to a newspaper article reporting the sale of a chain-driven watch for $8,000 in the U. S. “Of course if I realize anything from it, I’ll be glad to repay the people who sold it,” Mr. Desmond said. “It’s too bad I can’t find outwhat it's worth. Perhaps someone inNew York would know.” Then headded wistfully: “Of course, I can[always keep it for telling time.” could could. FOLDEN’S CORNERS B, Mr,. M. Ptilllp.

Clark, game warden, good catches were were being made, and the streams should provide good sport for Ox­ ford's followers of Isaak Walton this year.Mr. Clark said this year 16,700brown trout (yearlings—3 to 5inches), were put into Oxfordstreams, and 14,400 speckled troutof the same age but ranging a littlebigger, perhaps up to seven inches. They came up in tank trucks and were deposited into numerable streams between April 7 and AHril 21.<“There’s real good fishing,” said (Mr. Clark. “One fellow got a brown 1 trout,of 19’-i inches; another got a i speckled trout of 14". Most ran around 10 and 12 inches. Three of i us got 18 speckled trout between us ’ the first morning. I knew a little ‘ stream that ran right beside a far-mer’s barn, and we asked him if we (could fish there. He sad okay, butlye wouldn't find anything there. <“Gosh,”' Clark chuckled, “we iwere Mulling them out all morning.” 1The farmer, he said, was flabber- ■ gasted. ' He said Oxford’s game fish popu- ■ lation was gradually pulling ahead. “We figure that of 2000 fish put in j the stream, after the fishing there , might be 50 left. There are an (awful lot undersize taken out But we’re coming up slightly.” ■ The brown trout were put in j eight streams, and the speckled, in , 10—3600 being put in one 300 in > another. Ingersoll’s Share Set At 57 P.C. For New School Ingersoll’s share in constructionand operation of the new high schoolwill be 57 per cent, so far as the othercommunities involved are concerned,town council confirmed Monday night. The government, of course, pays 75per cent, of the total cost and opera­tion, only 25 per cent, being split upamong the five communities.“Because we are confirming our share, it doesn’t necessarily mean therewill be a new high school," Councillor Morrison pointed out, “but if the othercommunities pass similar resolutions acknowledging their share as listedhere, then the school will be just amatter of time.”The shares were worked out follow­ing a meeting of all the councils in­volved. East Missouri's percentage issuggested as 17.3 per cent.; North Ox­ford, 12 per cent; West Oxford, 10.21per cent, and West Zorra, 3.49 percent.Mr. Morrison said apportionment ofcosts was reached by averaging 1948 and 1949 assessments, the number ofpupils from the various areas attend­ing the Ingersoll Collegiate, and thenumber of children in the various pub­lic schools, and soon to enter high school. The resolution that Ingersollaccept 57 per cent, as her share was moved by Councillor Morrison, second-I ed by Councillor Healy, and okayed by' council. Mr. Morrison pointed out that with the new school Ingersoll tax­ payers would pay no more than pre­ vious to. inauguration of the high school district.

E. A part of the program of the C.C.F.is the nationalization of a number of different Canadian enterprises.Among these are the packing industry,banking and the manufacture of farmimplements. We shall leave out thefirst from immediate consideration on the ground that the packing industryis tightly competitive and margins ofprofit are rather small. We may also leave out the banks,they have ceased to be wicked—if they ever were. In the old days in the Westthere was a certain basic instabilityabout the country. There were great­er risks in those days, interest rateswere necessarily higher than they are now. Times changed and naturallythe banks changed with the times. :They have a duty not only to their. stockholders but to thiir customers.The best thing one can say about our banking institutions is that they servewell the needs of the nation and pro-■vide efficient and pleasant service foithose who do business with them. Sel­dom, indeed do they get in the hair oltheir customers. But I wish Mr. Coldwell, or some ofthe experts on his staff, would tell ushow they are going to nationalize themanufacture of agricultural imple­ments. Their first task would be, 1suppose, to buy out International Har­ vester Company which has factoriesin Hamilton and Chatham and branch­ es in many different areas of the Do­minion. Then it might undertake thenationalization of the Massey-HarrisCompany, Limited.- This would be ncsmall task. Tht Massey-Harris Com­pany has substantial branches in theUnited States. It has two in GreatBritain, one in Manchester and one inKilmarnock, Scotland. This, if 1 amnot mistaken, is also the home of’•Johnny Walker." The Massey-Har­ris Company has a plant in France and branches doing business in a score ofother countries. Will the C.C.F. takeover these foregin branches? A gov­ernment controlled monopoly whichmanufactures agricultural implements would then be operating in foreigncountries. It would have a difficult problem inthese days of intensive. nationalism.Foreign countries may be glad enough to have the Massey-Harris Company,but there are not many countries thatwould relish the idea of having for­ eign governments running some of itsindustries and actually making profitsout of them. There is another problem, the Mas­sey-Harris Company extended its bus­ iness in foreign countries in order toreduce its overhead, give full yearlyemployment and provide some compen­sation for those who put their moneyin the business. It went after foreign business and by so doing built a moresolid basis for its Canadian business. No one will deny the service of theMassey-Harris Company to Canadianagriculture. It has been a great factor in expanding our export trade. Thereward of service in any democratic country is a further extension of op­portunities for service. We rewardmen and corporations for their accom­plishments but, under the new C.C.F.code, we are to reverse that position.Industries which have been successfulwill have the fruits of their enterprise taken away from them, by order of thegovernment, so that a new political party may try its prentice hand uponthem. The C.C.F, will have to jetti­son this part of its program. The peo­ple of Canada are not yet foolishenough to accept it. NOTE: I have written recently a re­view of the book “Harvest Trium­ phant," a book dealing with the mech­anization of Canadian agriculture. Iwill be glad to send a copy of this re­view to any person interested in thesubject. Drop me a postcard—you will get it by return mail. R. J. Deachman,53 Queen St, Ottawa, Canada.

McCIeneghun, Esq., of Woodstock. Other excerpts fromthe Atlas will be published in The Tribune at a later date. The Ingersollstory follows: INGERSOLL Froid 1852 to 1865, Ingersoll wasbut an incorporated village. The first reeve or executive officer was JohnGalliford. Thomas Brown (the pres­ ent reeve), for two years succeeding,held that distinguished position, fol­ lowed, in 1855, by James F. McCarthy,Esq. In 1856 and the two followingyears, Mr. Galliford was reeve. From1859 to 1863, Adam Oliver, Esq., heldthe position, when he relinquished itto Mr. Galliford. In 1865, Ingersolltook the status of a town, with Mr. Oli­ver as first mayor. In 1866, Mr. Oliverwas again chosen to that office, follow­ed, in 1867 and 1868, by Mr. Galliford.In 1869, John McDonald, Esq., waselected to the position, followed by (James McCaughey in 1870 and 1871.In 1872, Mr. McDonald again took the civic chair, which he relinquished, in1873, to Peter J. Brown, Esq. In 1874,C. H. Sorley, Esq., was elected mayor,and occupied the position, with creditto himself and advantage to the cor­ poration, for two years, making way,in 1876, for Mr. John McDonald. Thus we see in 24 years only eight gentlemenhave been honored with the positionof Chief Magistrate.The Corporation of Ingersoll for 1876 Mayor, John McDonald, Esq. Reeve, Thomas Brown, Esq. First DeputyReeve, John Buchanan; Second Depu­ty Reeve, Joseph Gibson. Councillors,Arman Clark, George Foster, HectorCampbell, James McIntyre, WilliamPartlo, James Waterhouse, L.Thompson, Robert Vance, J. A. Wil­liams, M.D., J. C. Galloway. Treasurer, R. A. Woodcock; clerk, William McLeod; assessor, JamesMurdock; collector, chief constable,W. Henderson; constable, R. Craw­ ford; chief of fire brigade, W. L.Hearn; assistant, R. G. Bickerton. Ingersoll, in the enterprise of herpeople, may be said to have had a de­cided advantage over the sister town terprising firm, and to the town andneighborhood. Christopher & Brothers are in the same line of business withan establishment employing 100 men.The Woolen Mill of Waterhouse &Bradbury is another ornament to theplace, and a further evidence of the“push” characteristic of Ingersoll;while the cabinet factory owned byMcIntyre A Crotty is without an equalin the county. Bailey’s carriage fac­ tory and Eastwood's foundry arfother evidences of prosperity.Like most Canadian towns, Inger­soll is amply provided with churches, and, what is of still greater import­ance, the ministration of the gospel from the different pulpits is not with­out effect in securing the presence of the great bulk .of the people at theirrespective places of worship on theLord’s Day.The press of Canada has no indif­ferent representation in the IngersollChronicle and the Oxford Tribune.The former started in 1855, by the lateJ. S. Gurnett, Esq., and now aly man­ager by his son, Mr. G. F. Gurnett;while the latter, under the manage­ment of Mr. Harry Rowland, in addi­tion to current politics and literature,is the special organ and advocate ofthe dairy interest of the section. The News, published by Mr. H. Constable,is less for party and more for generalinterests than the other two, and theindications are that all three find room >and verge enough, and, in return, are sources of pleasure and profit to thepublishers. The two devastating fires that visited Ingersoll not long since,if carrying suffering to many, havebeen the medium of improvement inthe general appearance of the town,and it may with truth be said that few towns in Canada enjoy to a greaterdegree the evidences of wealth and cul­ture that belong to Ingersoll.A manufacturing centre of suchproportions must require a very con­siderable circulation of money, and inMr. Chadwich, the manager of the In­ gersoll Bank, the welfare of the townhas its best friend. Beachville This is one of the oldest villages inthe western portion of the county. Atone time it was the post town for theentire neighborhood, including Wood-stock. The improvement of the county by railway facilities crushed Beach-ville’s prospects entirely; still it is aclean, neat settlement, with churches,stores, etc., and has a daily mail eastand west, and to Embro. Mount Elgin This Is a village in Dereham, on theIngersoll and ort Burwell macadamiaed road. It is in the heart of the dairyinterest of the county, has a good store, a daily post, and all other neces­sities. Culloden and Verschoyle arenost-offices between Mount Elgin andWoodstock.

IL Fordon f Sunday, May 1, the Baptista of thisvillage and community reached an-other milestone when they celebrated ‘the opening of their new church, which replaces that which served astheir place of worship from 1866 to ,1943, when it was burned down. Thischurch, a frame structure, had beenbricked in and generally improved,and in 1931 the congregation dug out abasement and made a Sunday schoolroom and church kitchen. Thus itadestruction by fire was a great loss.Since then the congregation serviceswere held in Trinity Anglican Church and in the township hall. The newchurch building was formerly the chapel at the trainingTientre in Wood-stock, which now has been placed on a foundation and finished with brickveneer and new windows. It is a trib­ute to the pastor and his people whohave given of their time and ability,Tn order that they might again wor­ ship in their own church. The new building was dedicated onMay 1, when Rev. W. A. Cameron, re­tired minister of Yorkminster Baptist Church, Toronto, was the speaker.Mr. Cameron preached his first sermon in the Beachville Church when he wasa student in the Baptist College in Woodstock. Further services were heldduring the week. Rev. Arthur Poyn­ter, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church,Toronto, was speaker Monday.

Roberts, First BaptistChurch, Brantford, and president ofthe Ontario Quebec Convention; Rev.Lloyd Hilton, Brantford, moderator ofthe Oxford-Brant Association, andRev. C. E. Boyter, also of Brantford,associate secretary of the ConventionMission Board, addressing the service. Rev. E. Burrett, Park BaptistChurch, Brantford, will be soloist.Friday evening’s speaker will be Rev.John Mildon, Eden, former pastor.

A. LOVE Draggut Phone 72 Ingersoll By EVELINE A. LONGWhen we are very young we are anxious to grow up. We aee ourelders, or so we think, doing very much as they like. They appear to have notaboos, no authority over them, while we, as youngsters, must do this, mustnot do that,, or take the consequences.But of course this is only as it seemsto us. The silent authority, duty thatrules the lives of their elders is an un­known quantity to children. Theylearn of it, act upon it, or disregard it, only as they grow older.What parent does exactly as he wishes? What mother but has sub­dued her own longings for ease andglamour to give all she has of loveand service to her children? Althoughthe role is of her own choosing, theday of the purchased bride being longlost with us, it is the most onerous inthe world. The day she pledged her­self to the man of her choice she is bound in honour to accept the care ofhim and of the children that ensue. A girl many know something ofcooking and sewing and marketing,but few know much about the respon­sibilities that come with children.Even the healthiest of them developsome ailments. Thanks to modernscience and modem health teachings,the worst of the so-called children'sdiseases can be avoided. Deadly diph­theria and almost as leathal whoopingcough and scarlet fever, if not quite wiped out, are controlled, but eventhen, there isn’t a young mother whohasn’t been gripped with panicky fearwhen her infant has flamed with sud­den fever, or her small child has com­plained of a hurting throat. And yet the majority of such uninitiated girlsfight the fear and do their best to fol­low expert instructions. They forget to eat and sleep; their whole strengthphysical and mental is exerted in the direction of the ailing child. Perhaps' the modern mother with herfewer children, and the many mechani­cal devices at her disposal, does nothave to work as physically hard asdid her pioneer ancestress, but anymother who wholeheartedly desires to do her best at a difficult task has afull-time job on her hands. It is only when we are in like position that "werealise how much^pur own parents •must have sacrificed to give us whatthey did. No mother thinks much ofher own wants, and still less of her own(desires, until she is satisfied she has'given to her children all they need forhealth of person and spirit She be­comes the more or less expert cook, laundress, nurse and general factotumabout the house, because she sees the'welfare of her family as her chief bus­iness in life. And, indeed, of all theprofessions now open jto ambitious women, is there one that is so impor­tant, or, being well, done, so satisfying to the woman herself? Indeed, we should honour all goodmothers, not only by remembrance ofone kind or another on Mother's Day,but every day throughout our lives. Whatever of good is in us, whateverof devotion we have been able to offer our own children, we owe in large measure to the teachings and precepts ' that grew out of the devoted love of another mother.
