Ottawa, Queen’s Pk.
Rails Urged To Act
Immediate action to end continual traffic jams at theThames St. rail crossings is demanded in letters from theIngersoll Chamber of Commerce to Ottawa, Queen’s Park and
C.P.R. and C.N.R. officials.The chamber meeting "Ruesday night, presided over byHeath Stone, president, discussed the dangers and the incon
venience of the jams caused by standing and shunting trains,and decided that powers that be should be asked to take immediate action to alleviate the situation.Letters are going out to the minister of. transport, Mr.Chevrier, the president of the C.N.R., and Clark Murray, M.P.,
for Oxford; the Ontario minister of highways, the minister oftourists and publicity; T. R. Dent, provincial member for Oxford, and members of the council and other organizations.
Present at the meeling besides Mr. Stone, were A. E. Izz-ard, Leigh Snider, secretary, Herb. Baker, Bob Carr and G. B.
Henry. It was unthinkable, members agreed, that a mainhighway should be blocked for as long as 28 minutes, whiletrains stood unloading or switching. It was suggested that the
switch yard could be moved further west, but in any event,officials should make an immediate survey of the conditions,with immediate remedial action following.
Nothing happens to the railways because of all this,” itwas pointed out, "but it jams the town up tighter than a drum,and gives the town a bad name for hundreds of miles around.”

Elect Councillors For One
Year, Ratepayers Demand
It is high time someone did something about the daily
shambles at the Thames St. railway crossings.For a long time, Ingersoll’s choice continent-wide advertisement was her roads, or lack thereof. The wait at thecrossings, while freights, etc., played tiddly-winks with box,
coal, tank and other cars, was almost a pleasant respite - - - abreathing spell, shall we say, from the hair-raising spring-low
ering rigors of travel over our streets. But now, with the roadsas smooth as silk, the blockade at the crossings is causing aslight twinge of the nostrils every time the name of Ingersoll
is mentioned.Friday night’s c^aos capped everything.Traffic was jammed right back to the Rainbow Grill, and
it seemed, almost back to Woodstock and Tillsonburg in theother directions. One man, whose temperature is only now
getting back to normal, said he couldn’t move for 28 minutes.And this on a main highway.These blockades, as everyone in Ingersoll knows, as does
nearly every motorist on the continent, occur several timesevery day in the week. They’re caused either by passengeror freight trains standing at the station, with their tails across
the highway, or by freights carrying out switching and shunting operations.Now No. 2 highway is probably the most important—
and the busiest—highway in Canada. To have this mainartery cut off continually by switching operations and stand
ing trains should be unthinkable.Something has to be done. It is a matter for the C.P.R.,C.N.R. and the government, and definite and immediate action
is required.You can forget about a subway. The river would prevent it. Also forget about an overhead bridge. It would require most of Thames Street to get the required grades. And
either would cost hundreds of thousands. The obvious - - andmost inexpensive method is to move the switching area further to the west of Thames Street, Move the station, too.
There’s plenty of room to the west.That is the feeling of Ingersoll’s Chamber of Commerce—move the switching area to the west. And the chamber is
drafting some demands for action to the minister of transport,heads of the railways, the tourist ministry at Queen’s Park,
and other influential—and vitally concerned officials.- The chamber is to be commended, and if their actionbrings results, they will have achieved great things in the
Interest of this community. Everybody should get behindthem. Write your M.P. and your M.P.P. and your councillors,
and tell them to add their weight for immediate action.
Speaking to the town council at their
first meeting Norm Pembleton, on behalf of the Ratepayers Association,asked them to consider the matter of
electing councillors for one year instead of the present two year term ofoffice. It was, he said, a general feel
ing among the members of the association. *A by-law would have to be passedexplained Warwick Marshall, chang
ing the present system, and it wouldtake effect in 1950. It could be broughtabout by a letter from the ratepayers,
a petition or could be instigated by anymember of the council.Councillor Tom Morrison explained
that the > present system of electingthree councillors a year was to ensurethat at all times there were serving
on the municipal body some memberswho were familiar with the procedure.The by-law, said town clerk Elmer
Winlaw, would have to be given a firstand second reading, at least, beforeNovember 1st to come into effect in1950 when it would effect those taking
Office in 1951.No opinions were indicated by councillors and Mr. Pembleton said he
would come back at a later date.Earlier in the meeting the clerk hadread a letter from the parks board
concerning the unused swimming poolin Memorial Park. The sides and bottom were showing signs of cracking,said the letter, and was becoming a
danger to kiddies who played in thepark since it was impossible to keepthe gate locked. It was suggested that
the pool be filled in before some childis hurt. _Councillor Tom Morrison asked whatwas the town’s position with the Bath
hurst Construction Co. for the responsibility for work left undone.“They have, promised that everything would 6e repaired,” he said,
“and since then have left town. Itputs us in an awkward position whenasked what is to be done about it”
“I have been to see them,” said themayor, “and they said they |ad beentold that Ingersoll was all done. Theywere surprised when they heard from
me and said they would get in touchwith us when they returned from theirholidays."A by-law was read and pissed- to
amend the existing law regulating thegoverning of owners and drivers ofcars and taxi-cabs regularly used for
hire, under the amendment no licencedowner can use an unlicenced driver.

To enable 15-year old Marilyn Hayes
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Hayesof Cross St., to complete her education,funds have been released from a $22,-
4)00 trust fund in court at London byMr. Justice«W. F. Schroeder.The fund was created for her, to be
inherited at the age of 21 years, byher maternal grandparents at whosehome Marilyn had lived until their
death in 1945. Her mother died in1936 and her father has since re-married.
So that the young girl, who finishedher course at the Collegiate Institutelast term, can attend Alma College aresidential girl’s college at St. Thomas
$1,400 was released for the initialyear and $1,500 a year thereafter."It is fine, I guess," says Marilyn.
“Of course, I haven’t been to see ityet, but it sounds a nice place and Ishall be going there on the 17 of this
month.”She has been working in RobertsGrocery Store and says that she has no
plans yet for the future.Start and Marshall, Ingersoll legalfirm, made the application on behalf
of the Canada Trust
' One small girl when she wastwo or three years old, suffered
severe burns. Her father was acripple and could do little to help.Her case, undertaken in 193$/
when Warwick Marshall was president, was the first major case un
dertaken by the Kiwanis.She was sent, recalls Warwick, to
the Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto, where she underwent alengthy process of skin grafting that
returned her features to normal andtoday she is walking around the
town a normal, pretty young woman.

An interest in finger print studyhas paid rich dividends to a memberof the Ingersoll detachment of the

interest in the science of identificationby fingerprints and spent a great dealof his time studying the subject.
Now Dennis has been informed thathe has been authorized to take a special course in identification to be heldin Ottawa for six weeks, starting in
January, that will cover all phases ofthe subject and will qualify him as anexpert on fingerprints when he returns.

W.M.S. GROUP HONORS
2 LATE MEMBERS f
St. Paul’s Auxiliary to the Women’s
Missionary Society, met in the churchparlor Tuesday afternoon.The president was in the chair andconducted the meeting. Mrs. Beattie
was in charge of the devotions andMrs. Archie Harris read from theStudy Book. Mrs. Stanley Dunn had
the current events. A short memorialservice was held for two members,Mrs. Porteous and Mrs. Frank Taylor
who have recently died.
Itwas as well he did, for shortlyafter six o’clock came a knock onthe door and Spec put down his
paper and went to open the door.“Ed!”“Spec!”
That was how the two brothers,who had not set eyes on each otherfor forty yean, met. “I recognized
him straight away,’.’ says Spec, “butnot his wife. I used to know her butI’d kinda forgotten. “We’ve been
spending a lot of time going overthose 40 yean but.it is tough to re
member at times.”Edmund is his elder brother andis now 81 yean old. He worked
here for some ydan at the oldNoxon foundry, living at Salford,
and soon after the turn of the century left for Trail, B.C., where he
found employment with ConsolSmelters, with whom he worked for27 yean. Now pensioned off, Edmund decided it would be nice to
come down to see his brothers—hehas another, John, at Salford—so
h4‘ and his wife hopped into theircar and drove the 2,400 miles downin five days to arrive unheralded as
Spec’s biggest surprise package formany yean.He says he will have to be backby October, when be will see his
three married children again.
The club, at that time had a
membership of 33 but now, thirteenyears later, it has been more, thandoubled.
Soon after thdlr inception theband of communjfty-minded men hit
on the idea of an annual carnival toraise funds for their welfare work,and for benevolent funds and it was
in 1926, when George Mason waspresident, that the first carnival
was put on for Ingersoll folk..“That carnival started with abang,” says J. J. McLeod, “and I
think it was probably the biggestsuccess of any we have put onsince.” People, he remarks, were
wedged tight together and it tookhim nearly ten minutes to reach the
stage, where he was presentingprizes that year.Almost tewnty years ago, muses
Roy Start, who at the helm in 1930,the Kiwanis brought out their firstMinstrel Show which raised $2,000to help the Y, which was just starting up at that time.
Some idea of the scope of theirwork in this field alone can begained from their listed expendi
ture since 1947 just on crippledchildren. In 1947 $1330.54 was spenton helping the unfortunate kiddies.The next year $1078.30 and to datethis year $520.75 has gone to thesame cause.
It is not by any means the Kiwanis’ only welfare work, though,
for in the six years from 1944 tothe present they have kot through

an expenditure of $15,881.05. Theclub has been in existence for 28
years so just how wide their help incommunity causes has been can be
readily judged.
Such a record, in less than sixyears, is one that is as admirable an
it is amazing and speaks volumes forthe willingness, ability and serviceof the members of the Kiwanis.
This year they are again going tostage their carnival and the datesare set for the 22nd, 23rd and 24th
of this month. They have alwaysgiven excellent value in entertainment for the money expended by
their patrons and surely no betterway to give money can be found
than to a club whose prOud but, bytheonselves, unannounced record is$15,000 in welfare in less than sixyeans.

Have Children Immunized
Cut Down Toll of Disease
National Immunization Week, sponsored by the
Health League of Canada in co-operation with
departments of health throughout Canada, occurs
this year from the 11th to the 17th of September.
During this week a determined effort will be made
to attract Dominiop-wide attention to the need and
possibilities of attackihg especially those two
communicable diseases of childhood—diphtheria
and whooping cough.
A* in previous years the active co-operation of
press, radio, moving pictures and a great variety
of voluntary associations will ensure that know
ledge as to the means of preventing these diseases
will be made available to the public.
There are some other communicable diseases
which will receive attention in some parts of Can
ada nt least. Tetanus is one. In some pat ts of
of Canada, BOG is recognized as an effective
means of preventing tuberculosis. It is interesting
to note that during a number of years recently
there has been no smallpox in the Dominion. In
1948 there were 898 cases of diphtheria in Can
ada with 85 deaths, and 7,084 cases of whoop
ing cough with 155 deaths. The number of cases
of whooping cough has fallen from 19,082 in 1943
to 7,084 in 1948. TheSe diseases have diminished
largely because of widespread use of preventives
considered to be effective. Last year there were
almost as many deaths from whooping cough as
from diphtheria, scarlet fever and poliomyelitis
combined.
While, unfortunately, poliomyelitis is not yet a
preventable disease, diphtheria and whooping
cough are. The expenditure of time, energy and
money in seeing to it that preventable maladies
are prevented is more than justified. It is hoped
parents throughout the Dominion will co-operate
■with health authorities in seeing to it that their
children are immunized.

U'ss starting going through a very complete
wreckage for some clues as to cause of the crash.
When they got to the carburetor, they found a bit
of ftr.gernaji |n the needle valve which had blocked
gaauline flow, caused engine failure—and the
crash. Going back to the airport, one of the in
vestigators noticed a mechanic with a broken
fingernail. He had broken it, he said, while work
ing on the engine of the plane which had just
crashed. What had he done with the broken
piece—oh, just flicked it off. As a result, at least
seven people died!
One of the most fascinating gadgets—and cer
tainly one of the most valuable gadgets to come
out of the war was “dat bird, de Link.” Thous
ands of warbirds sharpened up their flying gen
erally, and their instrument flying in particular
on the famous Link trainer. One could go hun
dreds of miles without moving a foot. You could
climb, dive, spin, haye engine failure—in fact do
almost anything possible in a real airplane. It
could be boring, or very interesting, but you had
to have your wits about you to keep an even keel.
This sensitive, invaluable gadget was worth
around >11,000 or *12,000 anyway—during the
war, that is. The other day we bought one for the
criminal sum of *125—money that wouldn’t pay
for one of the many motors in the Link. There’s
an awful flap on as we’re trying to get it set up
for the Kiwanis carnival Sept 22-23-24. Riding it
will be like flying without the bumpy landing—we
hope.
What Others Say:
Need More Advertising
Advertising has failed to keep step with thegrowth in national income during the postwar
period asserts the United States Department ofCommerce. In the four years prior to the outbreakof war in 1939 the annual expenditure on adver
tising was equivalent to 2.8% of the national income. Had that rate been maintained after the
war, expenditures would be running fully 25%above present levels.
Those figures, of course, refer specifically to
the American field. For Canada, however, proportions will be almost identical. In both countries
the role of advertising is exactly the same, namelyto keep the market expanding for expanding industrial production. Without that parallel expan
sion there can be no continued growth of industry, no continuance of prosperity.—FinancialPost.

Every Farmer Should Start <—
Own Conservation Program
Some startling statistics were revealed at tlje
recent conference of the Plant Food Producers by
Dr. Russell Coleman, president of the National
Fertilizer Association in the U. S.
Describing conditions in his own country, Dr.
Coleman said in its early history 19 farm people
were necessary to produce sufficient food for
themselves and one additional person. Today—
19 farm people are supporting themselves and 66
others. In 1850 about 65 per 'cent of the entire
labor force in the country worked on farms while
35 per eent was engaged in industry. Today only
12 per cent are farmers. Of these, one-third are
producing 80 per cent of the nation’s farm
commodities.
This means four per cent, of America’s popula
tion, using modern equipment and scientific soil
management practices, are producing almost the
entire bulk of the U..S. food suppta.
Dr. Coleman offered an example’of what sound
soil management may accomplish. In the U.S.,
he said, corn is grown on 90 million acres which
yield an average of three billion bushels. If the
best known soil management practices were em
ployed, three billion bush'els of corn can be pro
duced on 50 million acres. This would leave 40
million acres for soil-conserving crops such as
alfalfa, clover and hay. Jhus used, 40 million
acres of land would no longer be a liability to the
American soil conservation program but would
be under cover and held in reserve to meet the
needs of an expanding population.
Canadian agriculturists can certainly afford to
give some serious thought to the matter of soil
management. Soil is unquestionably our greatest
natural resource, yet in many sections of the
country it is being “mined” . Wind and water
erosion take a devastating toll every year. Pro
vincial and federal governments are doing much
to solve the problem but they can’t do it by them
selves. The time has come for every farmer in
Canada to launch his own soil conservation pro
gram. '
And Still It Rises
In the first seven months of this year, 395 people
have been killed on Ontario Highways, 81 more thanin the same period of 1948. In July alone 72 died.Grim as the record is, 1949 is only getting started,
for if it follows the 1948 pattern, traffic deaths in itslast six months will be more than double those of thefirst half.
Before the Civic Holiday, the Highways and Attorney-General’s Departments launched an intensivecampaign for traffic caution. Common faults were
explained, statistics were quoted, people were urgedto drive carefully. To what result? Advance offiAal
estimates that twelve to fifteen persons would Iketheir lives were unhappily substantiated.
August in 1948 yielded the black record of 94 di ail.The figure will be greater than ever this monthEf
the rate of increase continues. With the travel season still at its height, to be climaxed by the comingLabor Day week-end, it is obvious that mere appeals
to common sense would not make the roads safe.Many people respond, but vast numbers pay no atten
tion Their contempt for traffic regulations is merelytheir contempt for society and the rights,and privileges it bestows. Whether it is meeting traffic with
glare lights, passing in non-passing zones, hogging,straddling traffic lane-strips, weaving from lane to
lane, cutting in too sharply, giving wrong signals ornone at all, these gentry can be spotted by their behaviour. Tragically, often it is the well-behaved
driver whom they force into accidents, while theythemselves escape.
It is a waste of breath and ink to appeal to such
people. They will learn only when they pay to learn.Our highway police patrol have been augmented bymotorcycle officers, but obviously we have a long way
to go in coping with traffic disobedience. Either weneed more ponce, more alertness for all forms of
dangerous offences, stiffer punishment, or all three.Fines which really pinch the purse, and in extremecases removal of the driver’s licenses, can reinforce
highway safety campaigns. Nothing else will.(Globe and Mail)
The library is settling down to business after a rather informal summerand making plans for various activi
ties. Miss Furlong hopes to start theStory Hour earlier this year and isgetting ready a fund of stories and
ideas. It will be announced in theschools when the first Saturday morning program begins.
Sometime this month an exhibit isplanned for the library of the paintings done this summer by local people.There are several we know about who
have done some fine sketches and wewould welcome picture* from anyonewho care* to exhibit at tins time. Later
the Ingersoll Group may exchange artexhibits with the recently formed!Tiilsonburg Art Club which held itsfirst show last Spring. Later in the
year the library expects to have anumber of Canadian Art exhibits arranged by the London Public Library
as in the past. We have not as yetreceived the official list of these.During the summer tne catalogue ofbooks was reorganized and a startmade on subject headings which it ishoped will make it easier to find in
formation in the library. The clippingfile is also being sorted out and alist of headings prepared for it. TheHistory of Ingersoll scrap-book has
expanded into two books and gradually a fairly complete picture of Ingersoll is growing. The articles publish
ed last year in the Tribune have helped more than anything in this undertaking. We will have new* of some
new reference books for the next column.This is an in-between season fornew books but several which arrivedat library the end of August makeexcellent reading. One of the mostexciting of these is “The Wooden
Horse,” by Eric Williams, tfae storyof an escape of three R.A.F. men froma prison camp in Germany. This will
hold you keyed up to the last page andis %rell named, “A classic in escapestories.” Two other books that might
be classed with this are "Odette,’’ thestory of a British agent, by JearrardTickert, and "God’s Underground,”
by Father George, the story of “thesecret war against atheism behind theiron curtain”.Also new and refreshing are these;"For Goodness* Sake,” by Nancy Jonesthe life of a Canadian minister’swife which is high on the list of
popular books this season; “EspeciallyFather,” by Gladys Taber, another of
those reminiscences of a happy ecc-entric family; and "It Was Not What'I Expected,” by Mrs. Valentine Teal, Ia witty and relaxing book about the jexperiences of bringing up four children.

And Fame Was His
A. F. Carr was up to the Fair theother day when he button-holed Alex
Arno*, hard-working Fair secretary,for the time,
Mr. Amos took a quick squint at thesun, then replied, 10 minutes to four.
Mr. Carr’s eye’* popped incredulously. He’d heard about people being ableto tell ttihe by the sun, but this was
the first instance he’d witnessed.As a further check, Mr. Carr askedanother man for the time and by his
watch it was eight minutes to four.Mr. Carr was terrifically impressed,and he spent a great deal of time telling one and all of this marvellous ability of Mr. Amos.
Finally, one chap asked Alex thesecret of his success.
“Well,” Alex chuckled, "I had tospoil a good story, but I had asked thetime myself just before Mr. Carrasked me!”

Canada’s Industrial Peace
A marked decline in’ industrial strife hastaken place in Canada^ since 1946, when strikesidled more manpower and caused loss of moreproduction time than in any year in our history.These national figures on strikes lockouts
show the trend:

Notes on the Editor's Pad..
Some friends of ours have solved the age-old
problem of calling in the child when it is time for
meals without having to come out and let loose
stentorian shouts indicating their desire for the
youngster's presence at table. Previously they had
found themselves in much the same boat as every
other parents. Mother brings up a steaming hot,
delicious meal and then asks where junior is to
be found. No one knows—doesn’t even dare to
hazard a guess. She is presumably out playing
with her friends somewhere. So, there was no
other course but to set up the home radar outfit
and give vent to loud voicing* of the young one’s
name, hoping that before their voice cracks she will
hear their pleas, heed them and come running
home to wash and sit down to eat with the family.
Like most inventions it is very simple. Mother
just puts her head out of the kitchen window and
lets loose several blasts on a toy whistle. Their
daughter, who finds this form of address quite
fun, has not been late for dinner for some time
now.
1946 ..................... 139,474
1947 .......... 104,1201948 ........ 42,820
Serious strikes have occurred this year in ocean
shipping and in asbestos mining, but the over-alltrend of industrial strife is still downward. In
the first four months of 1949, some 357,000 man-days were' lost through strikes and lockout, 28,000fewer than in the corresponding part of 1948.
The decrease in labor disputes has been accompanied by higher individual productivity. A Star
report baaed on a survey of leading industrialconcerns states: "Workers are turning out moreproduction than before. Their output is of betterquality, there are fewer ‘rejects’ per man. Bigreduction in labor turnovers means they are stick
ing longer to their jobs. And lateness and absenteeism have been cut away down.”
Facta like these have led representatives ofboth management and labor to the belief thatCanada is entering a comparatively peaceful era
in industrial relations—subject to the all-important condition, "if times stay good.”What are the causes of this improvement in
the industrial atmosphere? The Star report contain* tills significant passage:

HERE’S HEA LTH
A smart bit of "sleuthing” which proved that a
a fatal plane crash was caused by failure of a man
to cut his fingernails, was described to us by a
"One of the most encouraging factors revealed
by the survey was the almost universal report thatworkers were taking more pride in their jobs, realizing the importance of their production roles.
“Some companies have embarked on large-scaleprograms to enlist the workers’ aid in gettingbetter and lower-priced products. One large elec-. Sa*., »»jjnufacturer has hi* personnel staff chatindividually with each and every employee. Now
he Says, hi* men are ‘creating’ instead of beingonly mechanized cogs” in a big machine.”
This.is getting at a basic problem of modemlife,—-the dehumanizing influence of mass production tabor. If the worker can be given a sense
of belonging, a sense of having real value apartfrom that represented by his weekly pay cheque,benefits will accrue not only to him and his em
ployer but to the public at large. Employers shouldalbo be quick to reward better performance with
better wages and working conditions. That growing numbers in both management and labor seemto appreciate their responsibilities is a happy
augury for Canada’s future.—Toronto Star.

In The Garden
By A, P. Barker
At this time of the year spybloom looks good to us, as we natur
ally know that in the not too fardistant is a frost waiting to put anend to some of nature’s beauty, at
the same time of course helping toput color into the leaves.
Took our annual drive to the Forestry Farm at St Williams and todescribe it would be a 4 page job,
but I must say that one really getsa wonderful idea of this Ontario of
ours with all the fruit piled up atvarious intervals for your inspect
ion.The farm itself is a beautifulspot to have a lunch. We actually
sat about 14 feet from a beautifulcool stream and saw trout playingin the sun and the beauty of the
various trees and the way they aretaken care of is a great sight and
should be seen by all.A lot of us of course got our oddjobs done in the garden and at this
time of the year there does seem alot to do. The Calciums and fallleaves are blooming now, in fact
something new all the time is tellingus that mother nature is never still-

”1 WAS IGNORED,”
SAYS RANGER
| “I happened to walk to Pemberton
. bridge the other day,’’ Coune.1 !.,<> Ranger told the .members, of the. <’• until at their fust Fall meeting,and was ignored,” Ranger didn’tI iuiuw anything about it.
The remark came during a disius-, sum on painting the Pemberton SlI bridge, prompted by Mayor Dr. J. G.| Murray telling them that he had beenasked by a painter if he, the painter,
could get a Contract to paint the bridge.
“1 think we should give the local mena chance,to bid,” said Counc. Ranger.The mayor suggested that Counc.
Fred Wurker work in an advisorycapacity with the board of works incalling for tenders, bearing in mindthe figure quoted by the man who
approached the mayor."The board of work* is sufficient,”said Ranger, "I know something about
paint. Let each committee do its ownwork.”“I thought he would know. It is his
line of work,” replied Dr. Murray. I“His ability should be of help to you.”After some further discussion the
councillor made his remark that hewas ignored, adding, “I had it in viewlast year and this year but didn’t
know what they were going to dowith it.”
No motion was made on the question.

DORCHESTER NINE
TAKE BALL CROWN
Extended to the full length of theseries Dorchester took an early leadin the final game there to whip PondMills 10 to 6 for the East Middlesex
Softball championship and keep theirreputation for champion ball intact.The Millers were hitting hard when
ever they could but Keith Murraythrew grand ball for the whole distance, very rarely allowing the challengers to get near him. It was largelydue to the hurling of young Murray,who won three games/in this series,
that Dorchester were presented withthe Agnew Trophy after the game.The Dorchester attack was paced by
Al Lawson, who hit his peak in theeighth with a crashing homer.

CLOWNS GIVE
COLORLESS SHOW
Losing n 3 to 2 edge to the visitingEthiopian Clowns team at VictoriaPark on Saturday P. T. Walker'sFrigidaires unwittingly staged aboutthe worst game that has been seen
this year. It was apparent from theplay that man to man the dusky oneswere too good for the Frig’s. At the
end of the third, when the audiencewere still happy under the impressionthat they were witnessing a sterling
clash, the Clowns were leading 3 to iand the game looked like developinginto a scorcher.
Instead it deteriorated rapidly andsteadily until at. the twilight of thegame a hawker $oing round selling
props for tired eyelids would havesold out in five minutes flat.
Most of the fault was with the visitors, many fans thought after thegame, for slowing down. And slow
down theys certainly did for they letthe homesters catch up to within atally of them and then the game drag
ged itself wearily along at a pace that,had it gone any slower, would havebeen travelling in reverse.
Brightcst spot of the game was theshadow ball practise staged by the
Clowns before the sixth frame whenthe team combined in some humorousand clever miming without the b’ al"l.

SACRED HEARTBOWLING "BLEWS”
By Barry McKeon
Lcof/e us not hesitate to remind all
you ,abid bowling fiends, that justone week—seven short days—remain,to unlimber that rusty bowling arm
and prepare yourself generally for alot of fun.Teams were chosen Tuesday even
ing, in the K of C hall, under the expert guidance of recently electedpresident, Wilbert Stephenson, and his
executives. All the team captains aretickled pink with their teams and viewsof the league title have already been
solidly imbedded in their One trackminds. Wait and see for yourself, thisyear is bound to provide some realexciting competition.
It has beeri realized much to ourregret, that we have a few controvert-ists in our midst. Irrespective of some
members presumptuous opinions thatour executives are not quite capableof handling their affairs with the
supposedly required diplomacy, intell-gence and tast, 1 would like to remindthe vast majority that full confidence,your confidence, should be given them.They have all been elected by popularvote, therefore their judgment shouldbe law. I am positively sure that those
who have so soon found something to“belly-ache” about, would not care toshare the responsibility of an office.
I suggest we strive together towardsharmony and success. The executivesrequire your most unselfish co-oper
ation.The doubting Thomas’ will no doubtbe handily reassured next Thursday,that enthusiasm runs high and the
future months hold store for plenty ofaction. We’re due to hit the lanes onSept. 15th, you hit it with us.
Recollection also strikes us, remembering last season, that some of theproffered wit and language left some
thing to be desired. Afore mentionedmember.* we are glad to report werefew and far between. Keep your shirts
on boys, there are ladies present. Letskeep the enthusiastic conversation withour opponent neighbor down to a nice
soft scream, shall we?For the "gripes,” "belly-aches” andcheery news views on your progress,

The town of Inge, soli is located in
the heart of Western Ontario’s agri
cultural area. Separated from the
city of London on the west by 20 milesand Woodstock on the east by some 10
miles, this thriving industrial centre,with a present population of over sixthousand, has seen a continual development in its industries during thepast century.
Official records show that “the village of Ingersoll was erected under the
authority of the 12th Victoria, chapter 81, section 58, by proclamationbearing the date 12th Sept. 1851, to
take force and effect on the followingfirst day of January.” The acreagegiven as comprising the village was
1,722, of which 725 acres were in thetownship of North Oxford and 997acres in West Oxford Township in theCounty of Oxford.
In 1627 the brothers John and Chas.Ingersoll, arrived in America and settled in Massachusetts area of the U.S.A descendent of this family, ^ThomasIngersoll, a Loyalist who by his firstwife was the father of Laura Secord,late? to become a prominent figure in
the War of 1812, had heard of Governor Simcoe’s offer of certain tractsof land to parties who would come
to Canada and settle there.
Ingersoll had also talked with Joseph Brant, Chief of the Six Nations,
whom he had met about the same timewhile the chief was on a visit to NewYork. As a result of these talks Ing
ersoll and a few others made application for a township which wasgranted by the government of UpperCanada in March 1793 at Niagara.
One of the stipulations of the grantwas that Ingersoll should bring withhim forty settlers who were to pay
six pence an acre for their grants of J200 acres or more. The land was sei- ,ected on Chief Brant’s advice and was
located on the eastern branch of theThames River (Riviere La Tranche)the present location of the town of
Ingersoll. In this year Thomas Inger- 1
soli and his wife came to Canada and 1
erected what is believed to be the 1
first log house in this locality.. 1
The settlement, which was located !
on the river trail at the point where ,the Indians for centuries in their jour- •neying had left the river and directedtheir course south-east in a straightline toward Brantford, grew slowlyaround 1800. Grain and sawn lumber
were the stable produce. The settlers,realizing the importance of roads, inone year built a road from Burford to
La Tranche through some 25 miles of !wilderness at the expense of Mr. Ing- '
ersoll.(Some time later however, it was re- jported to England that the granting (of lands to Americans by Governor .Simcoe was likely to .injure the coun- jtry as this might prevent dischargedLoyalist soldiers from procuring gra
nts. As a result, an order from England cancelled several grants, among

the towship, in the year 1806 ThomasIngersoll moved to Toronto townshipon the Credit river where he died in
1812 leaving a widow and seven children.In 1817, hia eldest son Charles, who
had fought in the War of 1812-14,came into possession of the originalIngersoll farm on the Thames riverand the next year hia sixteen year old
brother Jam<->« was sent to take ehargvof it. On April 14th, 1819, they had asam-mil) in operation and the next
year began to erect a grist mill andbuildings for a store, distillery and anashery.
I Charles Ingersoll moved his family, to Oxford in 1821 and became the
;first postmaster of the village post
office established on January 6, 1821.It was known as the “Oxford Post-Office.” He was also appointed mag
istrate, a commissioner in the court ofRequest and later LtCol. of the Oxford Militia. For several years he was
a member of Farliament until hisdeath in 1832.
In 1822 James Ingersoll at the ageof 21 opened the first store in the vil
lage, a business which he carried onfor some 10 years. In 1834 he becameregistrar of Oxford County and moved
to Woodstock in 1848. It is recordedthat Elisha Hall erected the firstsaw-mill in the village at Hall’s Pond
near Victoria Park and later built asecond one on the site of what incomparatively recent years was Smith
mill. The first foundry in the villagewas established by W. A. Ramsey andlater operated by W. Eastwood. Thefirst steam engine in Oxford Countywas built here.
Following, the completion of theUpper Dam on the Thames River andthe creation of Carroll’s Pond, a flourmill was built on Charles St E. by
Daniel Carroll. A few years laterCharles Parkhurst established a carding-mill to which was added spinningequipment some time later.
Among other manufacturing enterprises which followed in the wake ofearly development was a tannery op
erated by Thomas Brown, who, lateras mayor gave the name to VictoriaPark, a distillery operated by G. T.
Jarvis, a foundry and machine shopoperated by Wm. Dunn on the present site of Butler’s Garage and John
Staples repair shop.
In Smith's Gazeteer published in1846 it is recorded that the population
of Ingersoll was then about 400 andthe following list of professions andtrades are listed—one grist mill andtwo saw mills, one carding and fulling
mill, foundry, one brewery, one distillery, one tannery, one ashery, onephysician and surgeon, one cabinet
maker, two chair factories, one carriage maker, two wagon makers, sevenstores, two taverns, two groceries, one
baker, one tinsmith, one saddler, onefanning-mill maker, five blacksmiths,three tailors, and three shoemakers.
Records reveal that a constructioncompany known as the Ingersoll andPort Burwell Plank and Gravel Road
Co. was founded in 1849. The distanceof the road between Port Burwell andIngersoll was 31 miles and the averagecost per mile of the gravelled road was
given as £275 while that of the planked road was £300 per mile.
Many interesting stories have been
related by early pioneers about thedays of the stage coach when oftensix four-horse stages passed each other
daily on the Old Stage Road whichran from Brantford along the presentBurford road to Cathcart, then to
Beachville, through Ingersoll and onto Delaware. Horses were changed at15 mile intervals. With the coming of
the railway in 1854 this mode of traveldisappeared and a new phase of development was brought to this growing
community. A new market for timberwas created as cordwood was constantly in demand as a fuel for the locomotive.
Sutherland's Gazeteer records thatduring a ten year period after its in
corporation as a village, Ingersoll'spopulation increased from 1190 to 2756in 1861. The number of buildings like
wise increased and the town hall andmarket house were constructed. Wheatand sawn lumber still provided the
staple business and industrial trade ofthe village. The presence of an abundant water (power was also a great
asset in the operation of the two flourmills and two grist mills one of eachbelonging to R. H. Carroll and J. R.
Benson. The North Star mill, an oatmeal mill, was at the time operated byJ. Stewart. Another large flour mill,
the Oxford Steam Flour Co., was operated by steam. Adam Oliver at thetime carried on an extensive lumber
business, operating a sash and doorfactory on Victoria St. and employing24 men. A similar business was also
operated by John Christopher andBros. W. Eastwood operated a largefoundry manufacturing agricultural
implements and employed 30 men. Atthis time also James and Samuel Noxon, who had come to Ingersoll in the
early 1850’s started a foundry manufacturing farm machinery in 1856 andby 1872 the Noxon Manufacturing Co.had increased until between two andthree hundred menu were employed.The plant was moved to the site onThames St. N., the present location of
the New Idea Furnace Co. (manufacturing department)
Ingersoll attained the status of a
town in 1865 with the late Adam Oliver as the town’s first mayor.For many years prior to 1865, lum
bering was an enterprise that contributed in no small degree to building up the community. Much of thepine lumber used at the time was obtained from a section of West Oxfordsome six or seven miles south-west ofIngersoll, and although these once
plentiful pines have disappeared, thisarea is still alluded to by many of theold timers as “The pines.” Most of
this area has been converted into largewell-tilled dairy farms. With the depletion of the pine forests and other
timber tracts in the district, there wasa marked upward trend in agricultural development. This caused a consequent demand for more farm mach
inery and this need was met by theestablishment of the Noxon Manufacturing Company.
Dairying won became important asthe production of cheese steadily increased in the area surrounding Ingersoll, and for many years Ingersollwas known as “the hub of the dairyI industry.” Cheesemakers in the dis
trict soughtlcientific knowledge in theart, and brought leading experts and
professional men from the most ad-vanwd dairying areas of the U.S. here
to further their knowledge, WhenProfeaaor Arnold of Utica N.Y. camsto give k-vtures on ehww making,
many men from al) parts of Ontariogathered in Ingersoll to take his course. »
Considerable credit is given for thedevelopment of the cheese manufacturing industry In Ingersoll to Mr.Homer Ranney who brought an ext
ensive practical knowledge of dairying to this country from HerkimerCounty, N.Y. A relative of his, James
Harris, did much by his interest andenthusiasm to develop the co-operative system of production and became
a leader in the trade. The productionof the Mammouth Cheese in 1865, wassupervised by Harris. This wonder ofthe age, as it is referred to, weighed7000 pounds, was six feet eight inchesin breadth and three feet in thickness.The milk used in its manufacture wei
ghed 35 tons. This project set a precedent for every succeeding enterpriseof a similar nature. It was exhibited
at the Provincial Exhibition in Toronto, the New York State Fair atSaratoga, and m England. The words
“Ingersoll District Cheese,” came tomean excellence of quality on worldmarkets.
To commemorate these facts, theHistoric Sites and Monuments Boardof Canada had a plaque placed on thenorth wall of the postoffice buildingin 1935. The plaque bears the iascrip-tion:
FIRST CHEESE FACTORY
“The first cheese factory in Canada was established in the county
of Oxford in 1864. The widespreadadoption of the co-operative factory system in this and other
countries marked the beginningof the modern dairying industryin Eastern Canada. The Canad
ian Dairymen’s Association wasfounded in Ingersoll in 1867.”
In 1870 T. D. Millar started a pork
packing plant on Victoria St andcarried on the business until 1875when it was taken over by Webb andWilson. Later J. W. Grant took overthe company and operated it until1879, In 1876 C. C. L. Wilson becameassociated with the J. W. Grant Co.
as manager and it retained this nameuntil 1894 when it was reorganized asthe Ingersoll Packing Co. The firm
employed around 150 men and did aconsiderable export trade to England.It did an extensive business in large
cheese and produced the well-knownIngersoll Cream Cheerfe. In 1926 theIngersoll Cream Cheese Co. was form
ed with T. K. Boyd, President, and C.H. Sumner as Vice-President. Nineyears later in 1935 this company took
over the cheese business from the Ingersoll Packing Co. Ltd.
The late 1800’s also saw the found
ing of such large businesses as theSlawson Cheese; the Cole FurnitureCo; the Morrow Screw and Nut Co;
Wm. Stone Sons Ltd. At this time thediscovery of valuable limestone deposits east of Ingersoll was made andquarrying was started there. The
American Cyanamid Co. and GypsumLime and Alabastine Co. are now thetwo largest limestone quarries in this
district.
The early part of the present century saw the establishment of the Ing

TAKE A TIP
Use firm, fresh vegetables forpickling.When vegetables are soaked in
brine use bag salt—the free running iodized salt causes brown scum.3. Proportions of salt and water forbrining is important to prevent
soft or tough pickles. One cup salt to2 quarts (10 cups) water is recommended.
4. Use cider vinegar for flavour andstrength but use white cider vinegar where colour is importantin clear pickling liguids.5. In making pickles, use enamelaluminum or stainless steel cooking utensils. Discoloration win
form from brass lids or copper-bottomed pans—also zinc tubs oriron kettles.
6. Whole spices do not discolourvegetables while ground spicestend to darken celery, onionsetc.

Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, businessmachines, etc. are producing goods and services which earn dollars. Thesedollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which contribute 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.

A forthright and open discussion of ,question* concerning the publics is ad
mittedly the only way in which theycan be solved. No one ha* a right toexpect the leader* of a community to
do ail the thinking necessary to clearup a situation. They are concernedwith ao many problems and are, as
individuals with limited knowledge,quite unable to supply the answer toevery answer to every question. That,of coarse, is true of every other in
dividual in a community, irrespectiveof how knowledgeable he appears tothink himself to be. We are often too
critical of those who choose to represent us. We seem to expect that themere action of putting them in charge
of our affairs should make them infallible in dealing with any and everyproblem that turn* up. But why expectmore wisdom of them than of the restof us? Surely few citizens would bebrash enough to believe themselvesimbued with all the knowledge and
sagacity necessary for running successfully and without error the manysided bustie** of town government.
If a man directs his own particularbusiness with probity and a peat littlecash return, we consider him a suc
cessful man, but how successful wouldsuch a man be if suddenly it were demanded of him that he manage sev
eral other businesses on the side? Hemight learn them in time, but it isseldom a person learns something newwithout making an occasional error.The capacity to learn from experienceis general and taken for granted. Withan average intelligence almost anyone
learns eventually to do better. Especially is that so if the desire is thereand an integrity of purpose guides
one. ...And that is all we can demand ofour Town Fathers; a desire to serve
and a pride in serving; sufficient intelligence to know the limit’s of one’smental capacity, and a willingness to
consult and follow the expert’s findings. A little humbleness is no drawback. The bumptiousness that grows on
a man of small intelligence with assumption to office, has always been asetback to further development. The
more a man knows the less he knowshe knows; his humbleness is in exactproportion to his intellect. He is ever
eager to learn. We may not all feelequal to the task of government, even

Weeds Winter Over
In Different Ways
It is well that a farmer should knowthe different kinds of weeds in orderto be able to combat them. When gro
wth is checked in the Fall of the year,the interesting question arises as towhat becomes of the various weeds
at that time. What provision is madefor the survival and renewal the following year? This should be known sothat suitable opportunity may be taken to attack and exterminate them,says Geo. A. Elliott, Seed LaboratoryServices, Dominion Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa.Weeds are commonly classified asannuals, biennials and perennials. An
nual weeds are those that germinatein the spring or early summer, growand reproduce before winter, 'dyingnaturally or when caught by autumnfrosts, and leaving its progeny tuckedaway within seed coats capable of
withstanding winter's adversities. Forthe annual, therefore, it is the seed
that holds the strategic position, andits importance is well attested by theabundance of its seeds as comparedwith other weeds. Far most annuals,any practise which will hasten springgermination is all to the good. Mostannuals are thus started before any
crop is in the way of their destruction,equal to the task or government, even Winter annuals are able to survive thesmall town government, but we can I winter as seedlings. They are soon

WITH the introduction of the "Pony”tractor, Massey-Harris extended the
advantages of power, fanning to practically
everyone who makes his living from the soil.There are thousands of fanners and marketgardeners whose acreage does not justify theinvestment in large-size tractor equipment.Such men were barred from the use of powermachinery until the "Pony” came into the
picture. Today, it is helping them to increase
their farm output, reduce production costa,
and eliminate old-fashioned drudgery.
The "Pony” is an outstanding example ofthe farm-minded engineering that lies behind
every Massey-Harris machine. In designing
the "Pony”, Massey-Harris engineers werenot content merely to build a small-size lowcost tractor. They studied the kinds of work
that a small tractor would have to do, in
practical farm use, to give satisfaction to its
owner ... and they calculated the require
ments of power, traction, weight, and endurance that such work would call for. As aresult, the Massey-Harris "Pony" out-weighs,out-pulls, and out-works every other tractorin its class. It will do more work than a t>*m,
and much more work than a little walk-behindtractor.
Going. further, Massey-Harris engineersdesigned an assortment of quick-mountedtools for the "Pony” ... exactly the right size
to yield the maximum amount of finished work
per hour of time and per gallon of gasoline.
With these tools, the "Pony” not only doee
more work than a team, but does it better,faster and cheaper.

Eighteen tired and bruised men arewalking around town today. Theyplayed donkey baseball at VictoriaPark Tuesday evening and, before acrowd of more than 2,000 people, pro
vided one of the entertainment highlights of this and many previous years.Proceeds ..from the game, sponsored
by the Legion, will go towards therenovation of the Legion Hall onThames StThat there was no score is neitherhere or there, that there were fewsuccessful base hits is relatively un
important, that there were an unofficially estimated total of 668 errorswas the thing that mattered, for eacherror—and the players had absolutelyno say in the matter—brought its ownhumor to add to the keen enjoymentof the people who filled the grand
stand and then stood four or five deepround the baselines.The hilarity began- at 7.30 in the
market square when the pipe bandled a parade of recalcitrant donkeyswho, in turn, led their respective play
er. Five courageous softballers sataitride their mounts and it is rumored that an announcement of awards
for unsurpassing bravery will comewithin the hour. Two others whosetemperaments did not quite square upwith those of the ‘jacks' compromisedby walking beside the wily mules andardently staying just out of effectivebombing range.
There were more than 600 peoplewaiting expectantly at the park when
the parade arrived and they continuedto flock to the execution long afterplay began.
Players found themselves in manyand varied positions of discomfort intheir clashes with the small, wirydonkeys from Colorado ana not the
least of them was Legion's ‘Wacky’Bartram who, after connecting forhis required hit at bat, leapt valiantly
for the donkey. Trained to the per-,fection of a ballet dancer the mule Iswivelled gracefully round in perfectunison with Wacky’s leap and.whenhe landed it was to find himself clinging desperately to the animal’s neck
with his feet and groping hopefullyfor a handhold along its body.
Or there was the superhuman effortof Graham Mills who/ when facedwith a positive refusal to move, picked
up the donkey’s forefeet and draggedit manfully along the road to firstThen, there was the unusual but
nevertheless hilarious spectacle of 200lbs. of Provincial Policeman in theshape of Scotty Fairservice sailingdaintily over the head of his mountwhen playing in the outfield.There were thousands of incidents.Enough to keep the spectators amused
for a whole month of Sundays and itis all credit to Pete Paton, who, witha band of Legion helpers, planned
the whole thing.

SO-ED NEWSHi So-Eders 1
Here it is September already andtime for everyone to begin organizing
Fall activities. More particularly isthis true of your So-Ed Committee atthe “YM-YWCA,” and if you have
passed the local Y building during thelast few days and noticed the placefairly buzzing with activity, you willknow what 1 mean.
As many of you know, So-Ed (Social -Education) made its debut in Ing
ersoll last Spring and because of itsoutstanding popularity and success, itwas acclaimed as one of tthe high
lights of the "Y” activities for theyear.For those of you who missed out onthe fun and frolic last year and there
fore do not know just exactly whatgoes on, I’ll try to define, in a small
way, just what "So-Ed” stands for.Its chief purpose is to meet the interest-needs of an individual and at
the same time to present an opportunity for group education and experience. By so doing, it helps people to
understand themselves, to understandsociety and the world about them, tolearn skills and to, make friends.
The unique feature of So-Ed is, thatit conducts in one evening a threefold program of lecture-discussion,
skill training and social period. InIngersoll So-Ed operates one nighta week for a term of six weeks. The
objective in most So-Eds is to provide activities and cultural pursuitswhich the community wants and needs
to develop an integrated personalityfor the individual %nd a rising standard of democratic citizenship for thecommunity.Because so many requests were madeIpst Spring for a Fall So-Ed, the com
mittee was more than glad to co-operate and I understand they are holdingtheir first executive meeting some
night this week to get plans under way.And just as a bit of tall guessing, the
program will no doubt start the second or third Wednesday in Octoberso why not plan now to reserve that
night each week, for six weeks, toattend So-Ed this Fall? In any eventI'm going to try to sneak in on the
Executive meeting this week (if Ican find out what night it is) sothat I, in turn, can keep you posted
on the progress your Executive makesfrom week t>» week.By the way, maybe they’ll discuss
the exact date on which So-Ed will becommencing ... so why not look meup next week for more news! ’Til nextThursday.
