Cadets’ Inspection Friday Hope Many Will Attend Fear Lost Contracts, Oleo Cost Dairymen Here $600,000 Lack of export contracts for milk products, together with introduction ofoleomargarine, will cost Oxford pro­ ducers in the concentrated milk fieldapproximately $600,000 in lost income this year, according to a statement of James M. Revell, secretary of the Inger­soll Concentrated Milk Producers Asso­ ciation. The statement follows a meet­ing of approximately 60 Oxford dairy farmers at Dickson's Comers to review “wreckage of their markets” caused bythe two factors.The statement reads: “The pressureof public opinion forced the issue of the butter substitute which now placesbutter fat in competition with cheaper,imported vegetable oils. The policy ofgovernment controlled export contractsfor dairy products has failed to meet the emergency of post war necessities.During the war period of shortage, export control-, was inevitable and justified. “But during that time private enter­ prise was not building export marketsof their own seeking. Now government finds itself in the position of being un­ able to supply contracts for skim milkpowder and concentrated milk manu­ facturers have no markets because theiroverseas connections had been relin­ quished to government control during the war.“The net. result is a stockpile of butter and other dairy products inCanada with the resultant reduction In producer prices (as of May 10, Mr. Revell said the price will be $2.75 percwt, Instead of the present $335) which all farmers hope will not be the begin­ning of an avalanche. “Labour and business could well study the matter. Based on the pro­duction figures of 1948, excluding the whole milk trade, the reduced incomefor Ontario dairymen in 1949 will be $10,000,000. In Oxford — one of the greatest milksheds in Canada—in theconcentrated field alone producers face a reduced income of $350 each, totallingapproximately $600,000. This is $600,-000 less money to bo spent on the m anufac tur e d goods produced bylabour and merchandised by the store­keepers of the urban centres. “Oleomargarine may provide acheaper spread for the consumer but its disastrous effect on the secondgreatest industry in our county cannot help but be felt most by the very people who have been the strongest advocatesfor a butter substitute. “Mr. J. F. Way, Provincial President,and Charles Milton, Secretary, told of negotiations with the Manufacturing Association in setting up a price sched­ule and explained/the circumstances forcing a reduced Settlement in pro­ducer prices.”* With the annual cadet inspectionscheduled for 8 pan., Friday, May 13, at the Princess Elizabeth School grounds, members of the IngersollCollegiate Institute Cadet Corps No. 109, comprising “A” Company of boysand "B" Company of girls, are working hard to put the finishing touches ontheir show. ‘‘Activity periods” Wednesdays and Fridays have been devoted to cere­monial drill which includes the general salute, the march past in column ofplatoons and column of route, and the advance in review order.

Service Clubs Meet Army week in Ingersoll will be launched tonight by a joint dinner meeting of the town's service clubs in BL James' Anglican parish hall. The gathering will be addressed by Brig. A.. H. Sparling, area officer commanding, -who will outline what the army offers in the way of a career. The clubs meeting together in­ clude the senior and junior cham­ bers of commerce; Jhe Kiwanis club, the Lions and the Y's Men. Veterans have been invited to wear uniform. Major Dr. J. Reg. Rogers, medi­ cal officer for the Oxford Rifles, ex­ plained that army week and the demonstrations being put on here are designed to show the people, and young men in particular, that life in the army these days is a real prac­ tical education, with many oppor­ tunities to provide a real career. Noting Ingersoll D Company of the Oxford Rifles has only 14 mem­ bers, he said its planned strength was 126. “The Canadian reserve army needs recruits," he said, “and these men will be the future leaders of Canada’s army. They’ll get train­ ing as NCO’a, WO’s and officers. We are offering young men training they can use in civilian life. “We want the public to feel we’re deserving of their support," he said. “Joining the reserve in­ volves only one night a week, in addition to annual camp. The boys get paid and in an emergency they'll be the backbone of our army. We must train them now—npt after.” As part of the “army week" dem­ onstrations, there’ll be an "attack” in Memorial Park May 21, with very pistols, small arms and anti­ tank guns in action. In the armour­ ies too, various types of army equipment will be on display, with troops there to explain them. Life Is Hectic For Gordon’s First 85 Acres for Industries Reclaimed In River Plan Lakes, Playgrounds Seen Ingersoll will get an additional 85 acres of the finest industrial sites anywhere as a result of the Thames straightening project, Gordon J ’ittock, of the newly-named Thames River Conservation Authority, told the Lions Club of Ingersoll May 9. In addition to many acres available for park, reforestation and general recreational purposes, the 85 acres lying between Mutual and Pemberton streets will give industry sites with railway and highway facilities it would be difficult to equal anywhere, he said, revealing, also, that a stone road would be built along the north bank of the “new” river, connecting Mutual and Pemberton streets. Ahead of Schedule Mr. Pittock, disclosing that at leastsections of the project would be finished well ahead of schedule at the presentrate of progress, said exceptional parklands would be available west of the town; there would be several lakessuitable for camping sites, etc., near Centerville, and at Beachville an area ideal for baseball and softball, withbleachers, would be created. "If we are going to pay our debts,and progress,” he said, “then we’ve got to have more people. To have more people here, we’ve got to get moreindustries. I’d like to show you what one new industry employing 150 peoplewould do for Ingersoll. These aregovernment figures. It would require another five or six professional men;100 additional housing units; another 1,000 to 1,100 acres of farm production.It would mean another 400-500 users of consumer goods; another 80-100 cars and services.”He indicated what could be done with 85 acres by noting that theMorrow plant occupied only 2*4 acres. He said the project would mean lifting the Mutual Street Bridge up 4*6 feet;Pemberton Street Bridge—5 feet. 1 “If a country — or community is worth living in, and making a livingin, it is worth working for,” he de­ clared. “Without a community plan,democracy will perish. When you go out on a project, make sure the peoplewant it. Then, no matter what it costs,the people will pay for It" He referred to. continued criticismin connection with the sewage plan and road situation. “You’ll note,” he said, "that thefellows doing most of the griping are those who yean ago had an opportunityto do the job, but didn’t And they’re doing all the griping no*. The least we can do Is to give our council somebacking in the difficult task they face —help them, not hinder them.”Introduced by Jade Clark, Mr. Pit­ tock was thanked by Dick Miller.Installation of new Lion officers willtake place June 13, Carl Palmer an­ nounced.

Spend More Time at Home Less Running Around - Queen The first issue of the Markdalc Standard under Gordon Craig, lateof the Tribune, has arrived, butonly, we gather, after a hectic few days. The following item is from theStandard: “The trials and tribulations of pub- blishing a weekly newspaper besetus at once on our arrival Monday mor­ ning. Jim Kell, the linotype operat­or, was at home caring for his wife, who is ill, and Jack Perkins, the compositor, was ill himself at home.However, Mr. and Mrs. Colgan, the grand people they are, came to therescue, and. helped to get the workunder wayA.Then, in the afternoon, the new editor took sick and had toforsake the office for his lodgings. Rather than see us stuck, Mrs. IsaacLemon, who operated the linotype for Jack and also his father, the late Ed. Colgan, came in at noon also, andsoon the type was coming from the ma­ chines in good speed. And Jack Per­ kins, still feeling a bit shaky, left hishome and came in at noon also to help to get things rolling for us.Naturally, we are very grateful for the kindness and the help in our first week’s issue of The Markdale Stan­dard. And we cannot overlook the splendid co-operation of the Stand-dard’s loyal correspondents and all the people in the town and district who have sent us news items.” The 90th session of the Synod of the Diocese of Huron will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral, London, May 16,17-18. St James’ Anglican Church will be represented by the rector, Rev. Carman J. Queen and the lay representatives. C. W. Riley, E. A. Wilson and W. A. C. Forman. Thanks a Lot We’ve Made II Everyone will be glad to know that the Red Cross drive has gone over the top. When it was revealed Ing­ ersoll's contribution was list­ ed as only $302.50, the re­ sponse was swift and wonder­ ful. Money started flooding into The Tribune office and to the Red Cross office at Woodstock. At press time, we’ve got $1,816. Nice going, and thanks a lot, everybody. The Christian home is “on the de­ cline’’ and one big reason is that not enough time is being spent in it, Rev. Carman J. Queen, of St James* Anglican Church, declared in a sermon Sunday. He assailed the “mad pace” of recreation and of “doing things”. People seemed to be on the go all the time, he declared, and there seemed to be little time left or even interest in, the “quiet and sim­ plicity of the home.” "The people are meeting them­ selves coming back”, he <said. Once, he said, the home meal was the so­ cial period of the family, when everyone was together for a pleas­ ant time. Now, Mr. Queen lamented, home seemed simply a place to rest one’s head, and grab a quick bite at all hours of the day. “And for all this ‘doing things’, nothing is being accomplished,” he said. Mr. Queen admitted it was good to be interested in one’s commun­ ity, but one’s home and family came first, and if they were brought up in a Christian way and atmos­ phere, the community would benefit accordingly. He charged that parental author­ ity was "a joke”, and said that was also because too little time was spent with the children when theywere being moulded. All children, he said, are “born with a rebellious spirit”, and that spirit has to be guided to useful and Christian ends. He rapped “commercialization of mothers’ day”, charging there was a real danger ite true meaning would be lost, just as in the case of Christmas and Easter. “No mother wants to be put up on a pedestal," he suggested. GOES TO AIRLINE MISS JEAN FULLER, Rog. N. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Her- > bert Fuller, Charles Street • East, left this week for Winni­ peg, where she will train as a stewardess for Trans-Canada Airlines. Miss Fuller graduated last June from the Woodstock General Hospital. Start New School Addition In June as Tenders Called Work on the four-room-plus kinder­garten addition to Princess Elizabeth public school is expected to beginearly in June, and the addition will be at least partially ready for operation when the fall term opens. At their last meeting, the public school board went over final plans drawn by C. H. Gillin, London Archi­tect, and he then took them to Toronto, where they got final approval of theDepartment of Education Tenders have been called for, to be in by 5 p.mMay 30. The school board gave unofficial approval to a cumulative sick leave and retirement plan for Ingersoll’spublic school officials. The plan was presented by Trustee Clark Fellow, andit was put-over for final decision. Thr plan would permit all permanent em­ ployees, after two years, to accumulateunused sick leave to .a maximum of 120 days. When a member is super annuated or permanently disabled, sick leave to his credit would be paid off at the rate of $4 a day. The plan wouldgo into effect September 1. The board accepted the resignationsof three teachers—Mrs, C. Bruce, Miss Doreen Wilson and Miss G. Monk, and appointment of the following was ap­proved. John H.

THOMAS R. LEE - - Editor The Tribune, an independent newspaper, is devoted to the interests and coven the tradingarea of the Town of Ingersoll and its adjacentprosperous, friendly communities. With a popu­lation of 6,243, Ingersoll is situated in one of thefinest dairy counties in Canada, and is the home of many industries. It offers every facility forfurther agricultural and industrial development. And we can’t let Grant Small’s experience at theKi wan is Club “agricultural night” go by. Grant was chairman pro tern, and took a wicked cut at the bell with his little mallet to command a bit ■ of attention. Unhappily, the bell had moved and a tumbler was where it should have been. There was just a dull crumble as the glass went into a mil­ lion (or so) pieces. Letter To the Editor A t the Library Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association Authorized as second class mail. Post Office Department, Ottawa. THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1949 No Punishment Is Too Hard For Those Who Hog Road A Lucan motorist has been fined $10 and costs for failure to let an over-taking car pass. If it hadn’t been a police cruiser he held up, he might be sailing serenely down the centre of the high­ way, monarch of all he surveyed, and his, so far as he was concerned, the only car on the road. To our mind, there is no more annoying—and dangerous—character, on the road than the driver who takes his half in the middle. He gets out there and won’t move for h— or high water. He seems to take it as a personal affront to his dig­ nity that he should be passed by anybody. We’ve been behind plenty of them and our temper and temperature have risen proportionately as the hogging of the road was continued. And that is where the 'big danger comes in. We have found ourselves saying, the madder we got, that we’d show that so^an-so, and we have to admit we’ve chuckled satanicslly at the thought of cutting him off so short, once we did get by, that he’d go whirling into the ditch. When you starting thinking that , way, you take chances, and when you take chances, accidents result. But we’re sure we’re not alone in such thoughts. !No punishment is too hard for the hog. Mr. and Mrs. Grant Harvey, R. R. 1, M t Elgin, were busy renovating their home the other day when they cut into a bit of history. Cutting a new window, they noticed that under the lath­ ing plaster the wall had been papered with old newspapers. Mrs. Harvey, knowing how interested in history was The Tribune, spent a lot of time scraping off one paper with a butcher knife, and it turned out to be a copy of the Canadian Plain Dealer, of Ingersoll, for Wednesday, May 2, 1866. The newspaper, though slightly battered, was in remarkable condition considering it had been under plaster for at least 80 years. According to the paper, it was published every Wednesday at the printing office east of the* post office, and opposite David White’s store, King St. Even in those days, mistakes were made—either that, or the editor ran out of type—for right across the top of the page runs “CANAIAN PLAIN DEAL­ ER .. . WEDESDAY . . .” And at the Ingersoll Carriage and Wagon Factory were - made carri­ ages, W GN S, buggies and cutters, equal, if not superior to any heretofore manufactured in this county.” The newspaper, addressed to a Mr. Scott, contains adds for everything from revolvers and rifles to first class farms as far away as Oak­ ville. Another little note says $600,000,000 in money and estates remains unclaimed in Great Britain and Ireland, in many cases as far back as 1600. “Fee to search for any name, $2,” says the note.” Geneologies traced. Wills searched for. All letters must be prepaid.” Horse thieves, rob­ bery and murder at Otterville (in exactly one paragraph), and an attempt to assassinate the czar are also described. And the feat of swallow­ ing an oyster alive gets a great deal of front page space . . . We are grateful to Mrs. Harvey for bringing in this interesting relic.

D. ,College-Trained Farmers Are Benefit To Community Recently, 36 young men were graduated from the two year course at the Agricultural College at Guelph. Practically all 33 to be exact—went back to the farm, in most cases their own. In fact, according to reliable sources, more agricultural college graduates on a per capita basis are going back to farms in Canada than in any other country. In the light of the worrisome problem of how xto keep the boy on the farm, these facts are most encouraging indeed. They not only forecast a brighter future for Canadian agriculture, but can help make Canada jone of the world’s most pro­gressive food producing nations. Some old timers may regard this return of the college-bred boy to the. farm with the derision. Even some parents who paid for their son’s edu­ cation will rebel when the youngster suggests a revision of time-tried farming practices. “You can’t plow a field with a diploma,” is an express­ ion too often heard in several sections of the country. Such an attitude is non-sensical. There is much behind that diploma. There are years of intense classroom study; practical work on the best ex­ perimental farms on the continent; scientific re­ search in laboratories. Yes, a diploma can plow, can sow and, most important, can reap. The public spirited scientifically-trained farmer may well become the leader in his community by helping solve the problems of hia less informed neighbors. If he fails to share his knowledge, he may as well have not gone to school. What Others Sa y: If You Meet a Skunk Beat Turn Your Other Cheek Walking the streets of Ingersoll these delightful spring nights, it is not only the scent of magnolia, tulips or other blooms which fills the air; generally there is another more pungent, yet not so attract­ ive odour. But no blossom gives off that scent. One good sniff tells you someone—or something— wittingly, or otherwise—has disturbed a skunk at rest, at work or at play. And there are plenty of them—at work, at rest and at play—in IngersolL In daytime you’d never know one of the striped creatures was in the area. But at night you’d think the place had been invaded. While some people may wonder where the skunks hide out during daylight,^others can tell you—under their house, or verandah or back shed. Skunks have been reported gambol­ ling on the bowling green, waltzing about on front lawns, strutting down main streets, and nosing into local garbage pails. Herbert Clark, Oxford’s game warden, says skunks are particularly plentiful this year. He says they’re raising havoc with the pheasant popu­ lation by eating the eggs, and he’s all for killing off as many as possible. One Ingersoll resident bagged six—at latest count—on successive nights right under his house. But on the other, hand, Hugh Halliday, one of Canada’s best-known naturalists and a great pal of skunks, says don’t hurt the skunk—-he’s a friendly .little chap, out to do you only good, and who gets nasty in his own unique way only when he’s in danger. Actually, there isn’t a cuter animal anywhere, (not counting the smell of course), and he makes a wonderful pet when brought up early, and in , your own way. If we find one under our house, we think we’ll let him be—at least until he starts tearing the place apart If we happen to blimp into him, he’ll get the right-of-way. The Red Shield Appeal In the vivid memory of Canadians a place ofhonor is given to the Salvation Army for its grandwork in the bloody theatres of two world wars. No front, or any section of a front, was too toughfor the “Sally Ann” workers. Their efficiency, their friendliness and their personal disregardof danger won the esteem of Canadian soldiers.The Salvation Army’s wartime work is theheroic backdrop for the stage of its equallydramatic peacetime work evenihere in Canada. And all of this takes money. Only a part of it issupplied by Government aid and token fees. The rest must come from the people of this nationwho know that “The Army” is a mighty force for human help and reclamation.The Salvation Army’s “Red {Shield Appeal”,which opened last week, will run to May 23. Thenational objective is $1,500,000. No strongerargument for the Red Shield Appeal can be giventhan its own simple statement of how the moneywill be spent: 20 per cent on relief and rehabilitation ofdestitute men. first offenders, prisoners and their dependents.29 per cent on preventive efforts, charac­ter building, youth activities, spiritual andpersonal services. 16 per cent on training for life and serviceof youth groups, young men and women forleadership in welfare and other social services.25 per cent on welfare services for unfortun­ate girls, homeless children, aged women and visiting the sick and infirm.10 per cent on family rehabilitation and re­adjustmentThe Salvation Army works on the belief that “a man may be down but he’s never out” Itdeals in the practical things of life, and it saysthat warm bath, clean clothes and a good meal that a warm bath, clean clothes and a good meal are the things a man needs to restore his self­confidence. Those homely words, the Army’s own,are heart-warming and eloquent The volunteer workers for the Red Shield Ap­peal want to call on every one. But some will be unavoidably missed, and they are asked to sendtheir gifts to The Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal headquarters in their district The Armyon its great record deserves the help of Cana­dians everywhere. ' These Invaders Are Welcome Admittedly it is difficult to secure precise and accurate figures concerning our tourist industry.Your average man or woman on a holiday seldom if ever carries an adding machine along or even alittle book in which every item of expenditureis jotted down. However, it is generally agreedthat the tourist Is a generous spender. He cer­tainly brings into this country a lot of American dollars we would not see if he ceased to visit us.Unfortunately there are a few in Canada who ■seem Ao regard these annual visitors as a hostileinvading army, who only come here to plunderand destroy. Here are some choice bits from arecent editorial in the Waterloo (Ontario)Chronicle: “Actually there are few people who do de-rive any benefit from the tourist influx. The resorts themselves are exploiting public prop­erty when they sell the privilege of fishingand shooting, and the government helps themexploit it. v “The tourist business has been over-empha­sized for years. Particularly is this true in Can­ada. For every dollar the average tourist leaves in this country, he probably does $5,00 worthof damage to public property. “As a matter of fact it has been proventhat nine out of ten Americans come to thiscountry for the sole purpose of hunting or fieh- ' ing, or both. “The Canadian public are really high up onthe sucker list Their natural resources are■ being sold for a few American dollars, with the consent And encouragement of the Cana­dian Government” Motes on the Editor's Pad . There’s a little story behind the presentation of their charter to Ingersoll’s Junior Chamber of Commerce at St Paul’sJPresbyterisn Church the other night. Everyone had been standing around awaiting late guests, and the gang were about to move in for dinner when a horrible realisation came to Buzz Fick, chairman of the newly-formed Jaycees, and master of ceremonies for the even­ ing—he had forgotten the charter, presentation of which was to be the main feature. He dropped everything and raced home, grabbed the charter off a table, and arrived back just In time .... There was much more of the same general linein the Chronicle editorial but absolutely nothingto back up the weird and wonderful statistics itcites with such abandon.It is perfectly true that many Americans docome to Canada to fish and hunt though probably one out of ten instead of nine out of ten wouldbe much nearer the actual figure. And what if they do take a few’ fish or deer back with them?Taking into account the amount of money these people spend in getting to the places they do theirfishing and hunting this game probably costa the visitor its weight in silver if not in gold. If wecould get as much real value for all our other ex­ ports as we do for the trout, buss, deer, moose andWars the tourist take home, we would all be mil­lionaires.Like so many of his eolleaguea the editor of the Waterloo Chronicle has probably been workingtoo hard, has been forced to stick too close to hisdesk and his linotypes. Sometime this summerwhen the American “invarion” starts he should Sunday, May 8, 1949 Mr. Editor: tMore went into the making of those skunk pictures in the paper than youcould ever comprehend or imagine. A sweet, loving tittle skunk, asleep in hernest, was snoring to me the most de- lightful music. As I walked by and wemingled our heart-throbs, the tempo would increase.Though it may seem queer to somepersons, I can sleep better on hardground, even on rock, than in a soft bed. If I feel insomnolent all I have to do isgo down stairs and lie on the floor. Ina few moments I hear little scratchingfootsteps coming up the ramp from the cellar, a soft furry creature pushes inbeside my face and with gentle, hyp­ notic strains stags us both to sleep.It may be that the people of Ingersollare not treating the skunks right Lastfall they should have thought moreabout their comfort during the winter.Though skunks are amazingly self-suf­ficient it would have been an act ofkindness if Ingersoll citizens had bank­ed up around their back porches andoutbuildings for the cold-weather com­fort of the skunks that find shelter be-neathe the floor.There is more to that old school-book piece where Mary’s lamb follows herto school, than just a rhyme: “What 'makes the lamb love Mary so?" theeager children cried: “O Mary loves the lamb, you know,” the teacher, she re­plied. “And so may you with bonds of love each living creature bind. . ..’’HUGH HALLIDAY. A sparkling review that kept the audience chuckling and absorbed, wasthe Book Club treat last Thursdayevening at the Library. Mrs. C. K. Long was the speaker and her choiceof books consisted of two by tlu.- Engllsh writer, John Moore, "BroniihamVillage” mid “The Blue Field." Theyare both chronicles of a mythical village in the Cotswolds, and the eccentricand lovable characters who live there and in the surrounding countryride;the mad Lord Orris, the family whoran the most popular pub, the clergy­ man who was apt to keep live bait inthe font, three shady specimens called by the author Nym, Pistol and Bar­dolph, the feuding gypsies whosebattle-cry was “what’s in the salmon nets today", the retired gentleman whospent his days happily "pottering" on inventions that never worked, but whowas discovered to be one of Britain’sgreat engineers of dams and bridges in the Far EastThe stories in the first book are about the village before the war, andin “The Blue Field” we find a some­what altered village after the war andthe socialistic program had madechanges. We meet the same dtaracters and some new ones, chiefly John, a“descendant of the poet Shakespeare”,a magnifident creation, a robust swag­ gering, lovable individual whose meresttmirh made everything grow to twice normal proportions and who was anartist in his craft of wagon making.It is his defiance of the government’s Agricultural Program that provides thetheme of the book and for the title,which refers to the spectacular blossom­ ing of his field in flax, when the govern­ment ordered potatoes.The meeting was presided over byMrs. J. C. Herbert and the currentevents topic was given by Mrs, H. C. Beatty, who chose the story of the“Christophers”, and their movement which is based on the power of the individual when he accepts respon­sibility for the common good. The book on this subject is “You Can ChangeThe World”, by James Keller, whichstresses the role of the individual as the key to a better world.A charming vote of thanks was ex­tended to the speakers by Miss EstelleCarney. The program for the Junemeeting is in charge of Mrs. David Stone, who announced the theme willbe Light Reading for Summer, and the speakers will be Mrs. Ross Kilgourand Mrs. Jack Morgan.

After four Public School Grade V choruses from Woodstock per­ formed the test piece, “All Through the Night", this Ingersoll choir rythmically took their places and were heartily applauded by the large and appreciative audience. The nine-year-old conductor, Julie Ann Haduck, proceeded to guide her companions unerringly as they warbled from melody to descant, then merged into one harmonious finish. The Adjudicator, Mr. George Lambert of the Toronto Conserva­ tory of Music, remarking on the rhythmic power of persuasion, stated he could hardly keep from joining them, and after commenting on the fine appearance of the group, their “ingenious entrance and de­ parture", finally remarked with en­ thusiasm, “I'm all for thia type of chorus; it has raised the number to a pageant type, has added'eolour to the whole festival, and taken from the monotony of ordinary festival work." Since all urban school choruses were non-competitive, no trophy was received by this group, but three members obtained prises in their respective competitive num- Joseph Moore, 11, received first prise for 18-year-old boy soprano solo; Wendy Dew, six, received sec­ ond prise for eight-year-old girls’ solo; Jolie Ann Haduck, the con­ ductor, received third prize for 9- year-old girl solo. _ by Mrs, Ernest Gault . .... and Mrs. Bob Groves and Carol of S t Thomas, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Erwin.

Mrs. Wilson said the auxiliary was anxiousto get more members because it meant"more money in the bank—and whatis even more important—more handsto handle the tools to finish the job, this very important job of furnishing‘the new hospital, the heavy respon­sibility of which rests on the shoulders of the women’s auxiliary.”Mrs. Wilson said the auxiliary con­tinues to supply the present hospitalwith linens, blankets, bedspreads,dishes and silver for the nurses’ dining­ room, plus trays and other incidentals,and demand for all these things hasincreased with the increase of patients “at the already overcrowded hospital.”Mrs. Wilson said at the auxiliary’s last meeting furnishings had been dis­cussed with Mr. Lee of Simpson’s. Shesaid she had been asked to explain that Eaton’s and Simpson’s were theonly two firms who supplied completefurnishings for a hospital at wholesaleprices. “In other words,” she said,noting Mr. Lee had said profit was a secondary consideration in the matter,“if the contract were placed witheither of those firms the sales tax would be eliminated and we would bebuying at the manufacturer’s price.” Colored charts of completely fur­nished rooms of every type were passedaround at the meeting, Mrs. Wilsonsaid, and every detail was taken intoconsideration "even to the pastel tints,which play a most important part inthe convalescent stage of the patient” Recreation Director For Ingersoll Seen A direct ar of recreation for Inger­soll in the not too distant future wfasseen by W.

AS BAD AS THUG A reckless driver is a potentialkiller. He is as dangerous asarmed thug!an In The Garden By A. P. Barker What a lot of us never take time to just stop for a few minutes and look all around us and see the won­ derful things that are taking place every day in a horticultural way. Well the early tulips have donetheir best to give us the first colorof spring and now we have a great variety of the later ones just burst­ ing open as if to say (here we are again.) The Polyanthis are ail in bloom as we stroll by the rockery and really we could name dozens ofdifferent flowers all‘out now to re­mind us of spring.•Say, have you been to the woods, if not, plan a trip right now as the flowers are just wonderful and don’t forget to leave some behind, don't pick them all as some variety when picked will not survive and we can­not do without our wild flowers. Have you seeded that lawn yet,now is the time, with these warmshowers they should soon turn to a carpet of green. Of course you have uncovered the roses and cut back all dead wood so that the new growth will produce buds for this year. Let's get some early garden in and keep it well cultivated andsave time later on- And so with a reminder to get the mower out and keep that lawn looking swell. Yours for good gardening.

Ingersoll accepted its allotted share of 57 per­cent, and West Oxford ' agreed to nine per cent. West Zorra reportedTuesday "we do not approve of 3.49 per cent, but would agree to accept 2.5 per cent.”East Missouri reported, through, clerk A. J. Baker: "We do not believe itwould be of any advantage to accept the average percentage over the per­centage of equalized assessment, and we are not in favor of building at the present time.”The school trustees decided to go to Toronto before the department ofeducation and see what could be done about going ahead with the project,considering a majority favored it Principal Jack Herbert disclosedthat several students at Thamesford continuation school wanted to come to Ingersoll collegiate on courses notavailable at Thamesford.

"Something has to be done”, he declared.“Lets go ahead on ,our own with the new school,” said Trustee Harry Bower."It's a crime - nothing .short of criminal - that for the sake of a fewdollars the kiddies can’t have the education to which they are entitled,school is a definite need.”The board agreed to let an armyofficer speak to the graduating classon the opportunities of army life as a career. "Times are changing - armylife is a vocation now,” put in Trustee McLellan. The board accepted with regretthe resignation of Miss Edna Kennedy French teacher, after 16 years.

DOMINION TEXTILE COMPANY LIMITED Norman Kurtzman is the new president of Branch 119, Canadian Legion. Previouslv first vice-presi­ dent, he moved up at the latest meeting when Jack Priddle said it was necessary for him to resign. Norm Kurtzman Heads Legion Hello, Homenhtken! The word vegetable is the English derivative of two kindred Latin verbs—vegetare,meaning to enliven, and vegere, to be lively. Since vegetables give us. muchsustenance to keep us lively, we should never say that we don’t like vege­ tables. Few people dislike asparagus(the fresh vegetable of the month) when it is cooked and served properly.The water for cooking asparagus, 3 inches in a deep saucepan, should be boiling, the time of the boiling periodshould be 22 to 26 minutes, depending upoh the quantity. This method re­tains the bright green color and cooksasparagus until tender while saving the most nutritive value. We use thetop part of a double boiler and place a couple of zinc sealer rings in the bot­tom to hold the stalks upright. In this way the tender tips are not overcooked. Ingenuity in the seasoning of vege­tables enhances their flavor and appe­ tite appeal. Paprika will give a subtleflavor to chopped greens one day, and a leek, a more daring one the next. Canned beets steeped in a hot mixtureof -vinegar, sugar and sweet marjor­ am for one day become a delicacy. Cel­ery, cabbage and green anions, all cut fine and steamed together, make a one-dish vegetable that your neighbors will copy. Then, too, a good sauce whichis “flippant” lends harmony to a meal.Finally, serve a hot vegetable steam­ing hot to be really tasty. By Hugh Halliday When skunks, from the human stand­point, become too plentiful in a neigh­ borhood there is invariably a definitecause for the invasion. They are find­ing an abundance of suitable food. Theskunk is a great servant of both manand nature since it destroys an enor­ mous number of noxious insects andtheir larvae. If a person finds his lawn is being dug up by skunks, if he is wise,he will let them finish the job because they are saving him a lot of trouble.They have discovered, by their amaz­ ingly keen sense of detection, that thegrass roots are inf esc td with fat whitegrubs, the larvae of the May or June beetle. Had the skunks not gone towork the grass eventually would have died and all the fertilizer in the worldwould not have restored it until the grubs were eradicated.Insects and mice constitute the major portion of the food of skunks. If theydo not obtain these items they are likelyto move away. Of course, they will take kitchen scraps, too, and some have afondness for eggs and baby chicks, but, queer as it may seem to some persons,such individuals are in a minority. The taste for eggs seems to be acquired butthe appetite for insects—cutworms, to­mato worms, white grubs and the like—is powerfully instinctive.Give a captive skunk an egg or apiece of meat and unless it has beentaught to take such food it very likely will ignore it Give it a paper bag con­taining grasshoppers and it will go wild with excitement as it tears into thefeast These observations are based on wide experience.Skunks spend most of their wakinghours sniffing the ground and digging for food. They have been accused of digging up flower gardens, but it wasnot the plants but the cutworms theywere after. If a community or house­ holder has skunk trouble the skunks,most likely, have come to end another and worse trouble. If the cause is re­moved the skunks will not remain because they must go where they caneat To remove the cause, however, creatures there is, and makes a wonderful pet Two of Hugh’s pals are seen in the next picture. However, he advises, if you run intoa skunk in the position seen in the third pic­ ture and he seems angry, just duck. All these pictures are shown courtesy of HughHalliday. Don’t Harm Little Skunk He’s Your Pal - Halliday The greatest expert on skunks Canada has is probably Hugh Halli­day, the Toronto Star’s famednaturalist Mr. Halliday has spent many yean studying the habits ofthe skunk and there’s generally one in his home at all times. His pet.Petunia, is famous. Told Ingenall seems to have been invaded by theanimals, Mr. Halliday kindly wrote the following article specially forthe Tribune, in the interests ot those who are being “bothered” by “Lovely for At your jeweller's... or on a lady's finger ... remember, Blue River Diamond and Wedding Ring* are Proudly Presented — alway* may be an impossible undertaking. Forsuch purposes nature has provided theskunk. xThe skunk is physically adapted forhunting ground-inhabiting insects. It is built like a wedge and is able to pushinto all sorts of damp and dark places where insects are found. Its front feetare adapted for digging and for turning over all sorts of debris under whichboth mice and insects lurk. Skunks do not climb, though theyhave no trouble gripping the rim of apail with their front feet and tipping it over. They love sweets. If bee hivesare being disturbed by skunks, raising the hives eight or 10 inches off theground is all that is necessary. As a whole, skunks are nature’snoblemen. Their work is tremendously beneficial to man’s interests. When aregion becomes overpopulated by skunks, making war on them will notremove the cause. The skunk does notgo looking for trouble. It uses its one means of defence only when its life isendangered. It is a friendly, gentle animal and is worthy of man’s protec- magazine. ___ ______„ ___ joumed by Mrs. John Williams. .

Salvelinus fontinalia, to give thespeckled trout his scientific name, is$ne of the most beautiful fishes in On­tario waters. Denpending on environ­ment. he is either the wariest of allangling prey, or the simplest fish to catch. On heavily fished and easilyreached streams, he will sneak into hiding at the sight of a shadow. Onfast streams with rapids, the experts claim you could fire a cannon andnever scare a fish. Undoubtedly, fly fishing is the fav­orite method of thousands; but againstthe more skilled angler will be pittedthe average farm lad or factory manwho finds a succulent worm or “gar­den hackle” is the best bait of all. Gen­erally, the top angler uses dry or wetflies—the former replicas of living in;sects which are fished on top of the ter. Early May, according to generalacceptance, isn’t the best time for dry fly fishing. So the streamer or wetfly comes into play.The streamer, frequently made upof polar bear or bucktail hair, is in­tended to resemble a minnow and is adeadly bait on most fast runningstreams. It doesn’t provide the visualkick provided the dry fly man who seeshis floating bait slapped down and theninhaled by a hungry trout, but the wetfly man argues that it requires evenmore scientific fishing. However,some experts admit they have used worms and live minnows on occasion,when the speckled trout refuse to take flies—a not infrequent occurrence.The squaretail is making a come­ back in southern Ontario, particularlyin areas reforested in the past 20 years, but the best speckled trout fish­ing of all, the experts say, is in the farreaches of the north, even in placeswhere there is still ice. In Ontario, seven inches in length isthe legal size, with the bag limit 20 fishor 10 pounds. So far as the averagesouthern fisherman is concerned, any­thing he catches which runs from one to three pounds is a speckled prize ofwhich he can be proud. Go After the Carp CARP. . . .A speaker at the annualbanquet of the Oxford Fish and GameProtection Association suggested aneffort be made to popularize anglingfor Ontario’s so-called coarse fish,such as carp, sucker, ling, sunfish andother species. Such fishing, he said,would help to relieve the pressure onthe popular game fish and provide a wider variety of sport. The carp, so far as can be'learned,originated in China where it is still avery much revered fish. It is found inmost parts of the world and IzaakWalton, patron saint of all anglers,made much of it in his writings.In recent years many hunting andfishing organizations have appealed to the Department of Lands and Forestsco have the fish netted out of lakes andstreams, declaring they, like hogs,“rooted up” the spawning grounds ofgame fish. Central Europeans have long eaten—anti liked the carp. Even todaythousands of pounds of the fish'areshipped to New York, Chicago andother United States markets, while in Toronto, where there is a large Jewishpopulation, many fish stores keep thecarp alive in tanks until the retailbuyer comes along to choose the fishhe or she wants to serve. Fishermen have found that the carpis as wary as a salmon or speckledtrout when sought on sporting tackle.The fish will—if they feel like it—biteon partly cooked potatoes or dough balls. Fly fishermen became interest­ed when they found that the carp willalso—if they feel like it—take dull colored nymphs. Reach IS Pounda Best method of fishing carp, thesame experts say, is to spot a numberof the fish feeding in shallow water.Leaders used between the fly and lineare stained brown, using coffee. Thenymph is dropped carefully and allow­ed to sink to the bottom ahead of thefish. As they approach the nymph fly, it is twitched very gently to attractthe attention of the grubbing carp. The carp anglers claim that in itainitial run the carp will take 60 feet of line in a moment and then settle downto a grim, boring struggle which will give the man with a fly rod all the trou­ble he wants for some time. The carpfound in Ontario waters will run fromseven to 16 pounds—a fairly substan­tial haul for-a five-ounce fly rod, and it was this point which particularlyappealed to the anglers. Here then is an opportunity for thesportsman to test his initiative andskill with light tackle on these hereto­fore neglected species. In doing so hewill help to remove a fish which hasbecome a menace to game fish and se­cure a prize worth boasting aboutIncidentally, the carp is good to eatThe recipe given is: Soak the carp insalt and water for an hour. Split itopen and lay it flat. Remove the gallstone. Dry the fish well and sprinkleit with salt and pepper. Dredge it withflour and cook in hot fat The fish may also be baked or boiled.

You Have Cooperated Well Ontario Employers-* And it looks now as if most of the under­ graduates from Ontario universities needing summer employment will be able to find it by the end of the school year. The situation with regard to permanent jobs for graduates is also promising. However, MORE summer opportunities STILL are needed for undergraduates and permanent openings for graduates, especially for "Arts graduates" whose training has not fitted them fpr any particular industry, but who will react quickly to an employer's advantage after brief training on the job.

Duncan McTavish of St. Catharines, “we’re getting better and better, but in other ways we are gettingworse and worse."He was addressing the IngersollKiwanis Club’s sixth annual Agri­ cultural Night at St. James’ Angli­ can parish hall, May 5. The hall was jammed for what President Walt Thurtell described as the club’s "biggest night". Farmers, dairymen, agricultural representatives and others connected with products of the soil were present from miles around.Mr. McTavish, guest speaker, said people were continually referrng to the "good old days”, but he felt inmany ways these days were better “God gave us this trait of glori­ fying the highlights of the past to cushion us against the shocks of thepresent,” he said, “lest we be dis­ couraged. We've made lots of head­ way in gadgets, refrigerators and things, but at the same time ourmeans of committing international suicide are getting better and bet­ ter all the time. Yes, we like to re­ member the great things and for- . get those not so great. “What has gone wrong with us* It’s simply that we’ve forgotten that man is more than an animal. We’ve treated him as an animal and when you do that he’s worse than one. Treat him as something worth only so much an hour, then his world goes to pieces. That’s what’s hap­ pening now. ,“We can change things we do,Mr. McTavish declared, “but there s a sense of frustration in our day. The sons of the devil have come, with no God in their hearts. Me have let the communists beat us to it with some of these things weought to have done. Every Christian living and thinking man should gird up his loins and fight for Chris­ tendom.” .Introduced by Rev. C. D. Daniel,he was thanked by L. B.

HANDS IN T R AININ G...FO R ONTARIO Learning to Work With Copper and Brass IN Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single one of us. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, business machines, etc. are producing goods and services which earn dollars. These dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which con­ tribute to our security and high standard of living. Every single one of us, therefore, has a very personal interest in the flow of a steady supply of trained workers to industrial plants. These workers will operate machines which are important to our way of life. We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government, industry and labour in the field of employee training. In schools and in factories our workers, young and old, are given the opportunity to develop new and specific skills in every field of business and industrial activity. For instance, every effort on the part of workers to become proficient in the art of shaping and moulding copper and brass, will mean greater industrial progress—will help to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and work. THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) Ontario workers know they can earn more, have executive responsibility and enjoy a higher standard of living in direct ratio to the skills they ac­ quire and the way they make use of them. That’s always true in a free economy —that’s why our com­ petitive system will continue to m ake Canada great and a great place in which to live. , PROFITS ALL YEAR WITH ROE FEEDS Livestock and poultry thrive when extra nutrition is provided by tender, young spring grasses.

Gyproc - Ten-Test • Gyproc Lath » Ten-Test Lath Masonite and Metal Mouldings THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1949 Page 11But It Isn’t Just A Family Affai Editor’s Note: George W. James and his nephew, John M. James are equal partners in the Canadian Statesman, a weekly newspaper of Bowmanville and one of the outstanding weeklies of Canada. George James, editor of the paper, is a Progressive • Conservative. John James is a Liberal and has been nominated as Liberal candidate for DurhamCounty in the federal elections. This situation, of obvious poten­ tial embarrassment to the Statesman, is discussed by George James in a signed editorial in his paper, part of which is print­ed below? This newspaper has existed for95 years. During nearly half—42 years to be exact—of its existence,the Canadian Statesman has beenconducted by its present editor. The fact that the Statesman now has a larger circulation than atany time in its history is a hearten­ ing evidence of the confidence which the people give to this insti­ tution. My father, instructing the pres­ ent editor many years ago, laid down the prime principle upon which a'local newspaper first en­ gages, and then retains, the confi­ dence of the public. That principle is simply to earn the public's respect “have an opinion; speak it out fairlyand frankly—and then the publicwill respect you and respect the paper, whether they agree with you or not.” That was his precept. His life and the life of the Statesman were built around it It is the very cornerstone of the newspaper's life. No newspaper could ask for or hold the respect of the public if itsopinions wavered with every breathof wind. It cannot have one view today on matters of public policyand then (perhaps by reason of some political consideration closely affecting its personnel), reverse its position tomorrow. The readers would not only feel betrayed, they would be betrayed. In all of the above I have simplymade an introductory reference to the situation which this newspaper contemplates by reason of the nom­ ination of my nephew and equal business partner, John M. James, in the Liberal interest for Parliament, a situation which I propose to discuss with candor. Contrary to somt opinions this paper never has been Liberal—inthe partisan sense. It has been lib­ eral in its outlook, in all things for the public interest. At anytime it has supported the Liberal party it has done so of its own independ- full price available in world marketsfor his products, I feel that this newspaper has to fight againstthe political organism that producesthis discrimination and underminesthe very foundation of nationalprosperity. Tired governments in democra­cies inevitably seem to seek to for­tify themselves and hang on tooffice by arbitrary devices whichcontrol free people unduly andthrow the economy out of line.Tired governments, under our dem­ocratic system, having served theirday, however well, get thrownout in some political upheaval.Which is as it should be. Il looksto me that, also is as it will be. In any opier circumstances, all other things being equal, this news­ paper's editorial support would go solidly for John James. He may be elected anyway. If he is not, then he has enhanced his name for any future calls to public service. 1 Doubtless in the latter event he will return to his duties in this newspaper—the campaign being over—and in the meantime I myself and the rest of our loyal staff must, even without his skilled help carry; on the business that is his liveli-ihood, and strive to maintain forhim, as for myself, the value of our newspaper investment.For me the course is clear. In all good conscience—the issues beingfar bigger than men or personal­ ities—I propose to continue fighting for the issues as I see them. John Jernes will undoubtedly wage a fair and clean campaign. I am not oppos­ ing him, for this is not a personal matter, but I am opposing the is­ sues of his party’s policy.I find myself behind the* issues which the Progressive Conservative party under George Drew endorse—the Progressive Conservative partyhas progressed to the point whereit now advances many of the prin­ ciples of the late Sir Wilfrid Laur­ier, which the Liberal party has de­ serted as “Chubby” Power and Hon. Angus 'MacDonald have so well said.Times change. Vision clears. Parties change. Issues change with them. Principles, however are age­ less and unchangeable. The princi­ ples of this newspaper stand un­ changed. This newspaper will con­ tinue to view the passing storms ofpolitics calmly and judicially. Itwill frankly state its views regard­ less of who may agree or disagree with them. ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Archie Cornwell, Putnam, Ont., announce the en­ gagement of their only daughter,Elizabeth Johanna, RjN, to DonaldSmith Leeson, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Leeson, Oakdale,Ont., the wedding to take place May 28th, at 2.30 p.m., in Putnam United Church. ence. At present it is bucking the policies which are those, but which Have not always been those, of theProgressive ■Conservative party. Equally, it still is not a slavishparty instrument, it will be just as ready to criticize George Drew, should occasion arise as it has been to criticize Mackenzie King or Louis SL Laurent. It is the editorial function of a newspaper to form opinions and to express them—to treat the news qnite fairly in its news columns, and then to speak out upon them in theeditorial page whether anybodyagrees or not. Neutrality in a news­paper is as abhorrent as neutrality would have been for Canada in the last war. John James is a worthy young citizen. He has served his country well in the recent war, just as didhis cousin, my son. My father served as mayor of this town for two years. So did I. My son and I have sat in the town council and my nephew, John James, has rendered conspicuous public service. And now in the democratic pro­ cesses which mark the freedom of this country, John James has beencalled to one of our leading polit­ ical parties in the hope that in theevent of his election to the grand tribunal of that nation, he may ren­ der still greater service. It is an evidence of the high regard in which many of his fellow citizens hold him. But it spems to have been con­ cluded by some people that hismere nomination automatically assures him the editorial support oftht Statesman, regardless of the journalistic principles which have been outlined above. Blood being thicker than water, there is nothing that would please me more—all things being equal—than to support for public office my nephew andbusiness partner, a bearer of thename so strongly associated with the Statesman. But it isn’t just a family affair. There comes a time in the history of any country when issues are greater than men. This is one of those times. Thus it is that I find myself, from conviction, on one side of great issues. John James finds himself upon the other side. This is a free country and he and Iare entitled to our respective opin­ions.Obviously, as a Liberal candi­date, be cannot expect the auto­matic support of this newspaper any more than I could if I were a Conservative candidate. Such a situation would lose for us that public respect and confidence on which this paper’s existence de­ pends. This news* per has a tradition of public service upon which it will continue to stand.
