Lim­ited, night at St. James’ Anglican parish hall, Nov. 24, and everybody ami his brother who had anything to do with Stones waa there. The snow coming down in carloads didn't stop any of the near-300 from attending—not even the entertainers who came al! the way from Toronto hi a blinding blizzard and enter­ tained on empty stomachs. It was the biggest gathering in the company's 80-year history, which was being celebrated. There were the employees and their wives, and their friends and their wives. There was also Stone's Nationals, the company's champion ball team.* And all night, it seemed, somebody was presenting something to some­body else. F. Heath Stone, presi­ dent, who presided, received flowers for the company; Mrs. Stone got flowers for herself; Mr. Stone was presented with a beautiful pen and pencil set (desk); the ball team got windbreakers, and some other folk got suckers—all in fun, of course. AU a Lot of Fan The whole evening was a lot of fun.Seated at the head table in the crowded room were Rev. and Mrs. *C. J. Queen, Mr. and Mra. A. E. Izzard, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ed­wards of Oakville, (Mr. Edwards is a director of the firm); President and Mrs. F. Heath Stone, A. W. Stone who has been 71 years with the firm; his daughter. Miss M. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Stone, (A. W.’s son and daughter-in-law), and Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Westcott After The King, with Eddie Ide at Qie piano. Heath Stone introdu­ ced such guests as Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nugent, Mrs. William J. Stone, of Oakville, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Henley, representing the Imperial Bank with wnich Stones deal, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Forman, and several others. While Heath Stone presided, Max Poole seemed to be the master of ceremonies. He was here, there and everywhere and made sure the evening didn’t slow down for a sec­ond. He and Garfield Hudson led the sing-songs. Then James McKee, Stone's, man-about-town, whisked to the front and presented Mr. Stone with roses—37 of them, for the number of years the company has been in business in Ingersoll The roses were the gift of the Imperia! Bank. Max Run* Around Then Max started shouting about people’s birthdays and before any­ body knew it Bill Smith, Scotty Parkhill and Lib. Fick, (Mra. -H. W. Fick), and Mrs. Roy Hoover were standing in a corner expect­antly. Smith's birthday was the next day, Parkhill’s the day before, and Mrs. Fick and Mrs. Hoover—that very day. They all got presents— all-day suckers! Then Mr. Heath Stone said he'd never seen jw many pretty girls, read messages of con­gratulations from his brother Bill in Oakville, and a head of the‘Im­perial Bank, and told the gathering "this is indeed an outstanding occas­ion—one of which we may be justly proud.” He noted the great pro­gress and expansion in the plant and gave most of the credit to the inter­est and co-operation of ail the em­ployees past and present. He noted phosphates—2000 tons at a time— were now being brought by boat to Port Burwell—the first bulk cargoes of any size other than coal to be brought into that port.Proudly Mr. Stone introduced Mr. A. W. Stone, a Son of the founder of the company, who said that hard work, honesty and foresight are the only ways to success." The gathering gave him tremendous ap­ plause. Mr. Heath Stone paid tribute to the three founders of the-^om- pany—-Wm. Stone, Wm- Stone, Jr., and Fred Stone, and he asked all to stand for a minute in tribute. Then Mr. Stone introduced members of Stone’s Quarter-Century Club—A. W. Stone, 71 years; R- A. Stone, 42; A. E. Izzard, 41; Robert Garland, 35; L. A. Westcott, 31, and Vic Harrison, 29. Then the ball team was introduced. All Get PreUed President Heath praised them roundly, and there was-bags of ap­ plause and a special for Frank Bis­bee who drove in the title-winning run. Frank York, the manager, re­ceived a token windbreaker, and R. A. Stone gave all the boys a certi­ficate entitling them to one. Then Mr. Stone praised the committee that organized the 80th birthday, and Arthur Izzard thanked Mra. F. W. Jones “for the wonderful dinner you ladies of. the church prepared and served." Mra. Jones said it was indeed a pleasure. ,A. W. Stone drew the ticket for the "booby” prize, and the number under Mrs. Jack Brown’s chair won it. It was a toaster, and was presented by Mr. Westcott Mrs. Sam Titus was sitting on the other lucky chair. After the entertain­ment, during which Roy Bonner, Roy Hoover and Hogan McKay gained an assist Mrs. Cecil Smith presented Mrs. Heath Stone with flowers, and Bob Garland presented President Heath with the beautiful engraved table set There were tears in his eyes as Heath Stone said: “I am dumbfounded. It has been a wonderful evening. This will ensure that I never forget it.” She (Tribune Published in Ingersoll for Ingersoll and Its Friendly Neighbors Ingersoll, Ontario, Thursday, December 1,1949 Five Cents Wm.

Swadling and many other old- timere around Centreville for a lot of the etoriee and faets in thio early hietory of the village. Centreville, now a quiet little village on No. 2 Highway was, in it’s hey­day, as riproaring as any frontier post in the early days of the West. I The highway was called “The Stone I Road" in those days, and was lined ■ with a great variety of small indus- i tries, and Centreville far overshad­ owed Ingersoll in importance at that time. In the early records we find that Robert Teeple was granted much of the land from the Crown in 1835. Between 1840 and 1850 a tannery stood on the ground where Archie Munroe’s house is now. When the land on the hill above there was sold, it was written in the deed that the tan­ nery had the right to use the water from the spring on the hillside. This spring js still used by the residents. Across the creek was Dake's stone blacksmith's shop, much used in early records as a landmark from which to measure when surveying lots.

Then when a humid spell is broken by a shower our drowsiness may vanish. —It would be useful to have an ab­ solute scale of comfort in relation to temperature and humidity. (Scient­ists have established 68 degrees aa suiting most office workers, and say the humidity should be about 60 per cent.) But the making of such a chart runs up against the difficulty that there is a marked difference in what individuals call comfortable. The work in many offices and factories would be improved if temperatures were ad­apted to the comfort of the normal well people, and let the complaining few put on more or less clothes. All the forecaster pretends to do is io say with reasonable aMurnnee that if aa existing trend continues, certain things will happen. The speed of the weather movement may change, hastening or delaying arrival of the kind of weather ne forecasts. CoetreUiag W e.tl.r During recent years many local rains have been induced by dropping dry ice on rain clouds. Mr. J. L. Orr, of the National Research Council of Canada told the United Nations scientific conference in August of successful experiments In our tountry. Analysis at the results showed that rain or snow reached the ground on 24 per cent of al! the Canadian trials. In the applied experiments on selec­ted clouds rain or snow reached the ground on 43 per cent of the attempts. Mr. Orr added; "From the scien­tific standpoint, the results achieved are noteworthy and the ability to alter the structure of the great majority of clouds, to produce precipitations from many clouds, and even, under The December W A. meeting will be held in the church on the second Thursday In the month.

EATON Monuments of Distinction American Granites Prices Moderate 305 HALL STREET Highest Prices Paid For LIVE POULTRY Weighed at the Farmer’s Door on His Scales The Meteorological Bureau does not issue forecasts primarily for the convenience of people who are think­ing of going on picnics. Weather forecasts are needed by airmen, sai­lors, fanners, shippers of perishable goods^orest rangers and business men. The effects of the weather on the cash register can be very important.Forecasting in Canada is done by the Department of Transport as a public service, and our meteorological service ranks with the best in the world. Main bureaus are in Van­couver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Tor­onto, Montreal, Halifax and Gander, served by many reporting stations over the continent- When the main station has rti hand ail reports from its own district, from the other dis­tricts, from the United States, Mex- ico, Alaska, from Canada’s 11 sta­ tions north of the Arctic Circle, from Europe and from ships at sea, the meteorologist has a good idea what conditions are going to be during at least the next 4 hours. He is helped by twice-daily soundings of the up­ per air. tPrediction is made difficult by the fact that so many factors must be kept in mind and weighed at one time. The public demands that a forecast shall be expressed as nearly as possible in one word: clear, fair, cloudy, rain. This does not allow a fair exercise of the forecaster's skill, because to describe what is likely to happen within the next 24 or 30 hours would require a paragraph at least. There can be great differences within small areas: not long ago there was rain on St. James St. in Montreal and none on Craig St, only a block away. No matter what the certain conditions to generate clouds, is remarkable.''The advance already made in knowledge and practice indicates that it may be possible to put rain-making on a firm basis shortly. At a time when rain is badly needed in some crop-growing or electric power-pro­ducing part of Canada, the financial returns could be of significant value. But, says Mr. Connor in a letter on the work of Canada’s Meteorological Division, “if wo ever get weather control on this earth, wars will follow, instigated by those who wish to have full control for their own country alone.” Then he adds facetiously: “Domestically, the national weather controllers will need a battalion of bodyguards.What we should like, of course, is Among the hunters who left for the northern hunting grounds were Thurwell Dunham, Charles Lawlor, £mL_8Bge’ „We,by “y®"- Wilfred Phillips and Russell Phillips, Wood- Riverside Pou ltry Co.

There should be some snow und ice in winter, so that we are willing to work hard enough to enjoy a little leisure in the spring. Spring should be a poet’s delight, with flowers and bees and mating birds, and it should last two months. Summer should bo warm'enough to thaw the frost out of our bones, give ug the right tint of tan, and grow our garden vegetables and gladiolus to the right size and shade and texture. Autumn should be long enough for us to rest after a strenuous summer, colorful enough to gratify our aesthetic sense, and just cool enough to ease us into winter.Every season should dignify itself by coming in on the proper date. This would enable us to make, sell and buy clothes in a reasonably stable way, and to know whether it’s neces­sary to lay in another ton of coal. Till these improvements can be made, the clothing manufacturer, the department store, the coal dealer and the consumer must plug along with the aid of .Almanacs,- the Meteorolo­gical Bureau and their own amateur efforts at forecasting.

It was, said old-timers, just about the dullest nomination meet­ing the town had ever witnessed, and that’s saying something. Perhaps 60 people were there, and that included town council, officials, the press, the chairman, Herb Baker, and the few who had been coming to nomination meetings for many, many years. At 7.30 when nominations opened, 13 people were in the town hall chambers. Several members of the Jay- cees were the only youthful blood. There were a couple of ladies. Al! evening, not a fiery word was spoken, not a chal­lenge made. Quite a number of people were nominated, but by 9 o’clock Saturday night, the qualification deadline, an election was barely forced.Mayor J. G. Murray received an acclamation when two other nominees failed to qualify, but four people will have to struggle for three council seats. They are Fred Wurker, councillor last year; Norman Pembleton, president of the Ratepayers’ Association; Leo Ranger, last-year councillor. Glen Topham, who tried last year but was beaten. And in Ward one, Walter Leaper will fight Earl Thornton for the right to sit on the school board.

Over 300 govern­ment officials, businessmen and. men filling important posts in many communities were here to inspect the $800,000 Ingersoll Channel Improvement project, hold a regular T.V.A. meeting and attend the Chamber of Commerce dinner in St James’ Anglican Church tonight, marking completion of the famed flood-control, reclamation and conservation projectLed by Hon. William Griesinger, minister of planning and development, at least nine Members of the legislature toured the six-mile development, along with members of the Author­ ity under whose auspices it was launched. The M^P.P.’s included the entire select committee of the legislature on conservation, which includes Farquhar Oliver, Ontario Liberal chieftain, and E. B.

C«ck, Mitchell; Deciding to take a hand in the collegiate vote, themselves, students, who, after all, are the ones, who should knoj?—have blossomed out oil over the school and town with signs and placards boosting a vote in favor of the building of a new school. On the bulletin board in the main hall, festooned with blue and white ribbons, the school colors, a huge sign says, “George Washington sat where I sit now; Abe Lincoln sat behind me; Mayor Murray sat ahead of me. If you don't reckon we need a new school podner, just ^jlrop around and see Ingersoll's historical landmark. 'Another cryptic sign carried by a student says simply, “My room is in the basement." Without trimmings yet another announces "Ingersoll and district need a new schooL We want it—we need it. Vote Yes.”Carrying the signs with them wherever they go, home, around town, in school, the students are expressing forcibly their feeling on whether they should have a new school or not. Today, in the Santa Claus parade, students joined in a body carrying their placards. Decorated with pictures of Santa Claus and two ballot forms marked ‘yes', one pupil’s placard which -he carried stated/ “Santa Claus can't bring us a new school—but you can!

V. Buchanan, voiced in a recent letter to the press. t ttIt is that attitude which stunts a community s J^wth. It is that attitude that has put Ingersoll in the yeiv position it now finds itself—having to do everything allFor yetfrs, Ingersoll spent little or nothing on major public improvement aa n inopMany, many years ago, for example, a modern system was urged Upon Ingersoll as a neceaity. T h« 1 do anything now” attitude prevailed until finally it was rea­ lized a sewage system WAS needed if the town was to grow. But by this*lime the cost had risen from 8250,000 to nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS. . , ,Then there was the new Victory Memorial public school. The “don’t do anything now” clamor was raised again, apd fears were expressed that the expense would sink the town.But the school was built, and the town didn t sink, and not only was it urgently needed, but the population has grown so that an addition has had to be built on Princess Elizabeth school.And now a new collegiate is needed—desperately need­ed—and once again the “don’t do it now” cry is being raised. The town is in no "financial morad” or the Municipal Board would not have let us go so fa r/ , ,True, a new school will mean higher taxes. Were paying high-enough taxes now, people say. But we’re only paying the price of. progress that should have been made gradually, and not put off and put off, until the burden has suddenly ‘ been heaped upon the town all at once. Taxes were comparatively light until progress was begun, and you wouldn’t pay any at all if all you wanted was to squat right there.But the people must pay for vital improvements and facil­ ities if their community is to progress instead of sinking to a position of a very low rate burg.The high school is desperately needed. If it Isn’t built now, it will have to be eventually. And costa rarely go down.You should vote YES for the school. Dec. 10. Dec. 16. Dec. 17. Dec. 26.

Competent representatives of industrial medicine have estimated that about 80 per cent of medical absenteeism in industry today Is d^ to emotional disturbances. “ "There is, of course, no mental health or mental illness peculiar to industry,” says Mr. Smith. “The people who mkke up our industrial force* are like other Canadians.

Never before have so many men representing so many fields of endeavor gathered together as there will this evening in St James’ Anglican parish hall to mark completion of the Thames river project. Completion of this undertaking designed to elimin­ ate flooding, reclaim waste lands and beautify the terrain is a big landmark from the province’s stand­ point, because this is the first scheme to be com­ pleted under the province's big conservation pro­ gram. The people of Ingersoll and area should be eternally grateful upon completion of this under­ taking, because it may mean the launching of Ing­ ersoll upward to bigger and better things. Costing the town not one penny, the river straight­ ening and work that has gone on all summer has - . produced from soggy wastes potential Industrial sites that can not be excelled anywhere. There are scores of acres of new land handy to highway, train and hydro. There are more acres available for play­ ground and parkland. Such eyesores and mosquito breeding grounds as Carroll’s Pond are gone, and in their place some day will rise a new Memorial arena, perhaps a picnic ground and ball park. Perhaps the river is not so scenic at the-moment, but it is cleaner. It is under-cantrol. it doesn't look ’ like an open sewer filled with anything anyone cared to toss in. The birds have gone, but so has the flood threat. Planting of trees as is planned will bring the birds back and in even greater numbers than ever before. The fish will now have a chance. And perhaps it is a small thing, but it looks now as though one will be able to drive down to the C.N.R. station and back around without the constant fear of going into the river. Yes, Ingersoll should be grateful for this $1,000,000 project that has cost them not one cent. Ingersoll should say thank you to the local firms who together with the government carried it out. We think a big thank you should also go to Gordon . Fittock to whom the undertaking will be virtually ' a personal memorial. He has worked long and hard to bring a dream to realization. And now the name of Ingersoll will go down in history as the first step in a tremendous program. To al! those who had anything to do with the Ingersoll Thames diversion project, The Tribune says congratulations—a great job,'well and quickly done. School Must Be Okayed To Give Children a Chance The health and education of their children are— or should be—the prime consideration of any parent. Both are being jeopardized under existing conditions . at the Ingersoll collegiate. The school is much too small—much too inade­ quate—to handle the demands being made upon it. And by next Fall it will be worse still—yes, im­ possible. Thus the proposed new collegiate for Ingersoll and area is the most important issue facing the electors of Ingersoll, and the townships of North and West Oxford, East Nissouri and West Zorra in the municipal elections Dec. 5. The ratepayer's are asked if they favor construc­ tion of this school at an estimated cost of $631,000. We think the answer should be yes. The five muni­ cipalities will share only 30 per cent of the cost, the government taking 70 per cent. Boiled to a cost over 20 years, the cost is not too great to give our young people that which they are-entitled. Inger­ soll’s share—and it will be 51 prfFcent—Is estimated at less than $9,000 a year, or a dollar plus a few cents for every person in the town. We think the school is an urgent need and should be okayed. If it is not, then what? An authority tells us: "If proper facilities are not provided for education of our children here, then the department of educa. tion can—and may—cut their grants, thus leaving a terrific load to be borne by the municipalities— all five of them." He said there were three alter­ natives, and they could be only temporary, to a new school. 1. Staggered Classes, which would disrupt many homes; 2. renting of additional space, an expensive^ proposition; 3, reorganizing classes, in­ cluding sending Ingersoll and West Oxford child- ren to- Thamesford. "Our children deserve as-good a chance ns any­ one in the world,” said this authority. We agree. The school should be—must be okayed. Claim Absenteeism Caused Largely By Mental Health The successful industrial foreman of the future will be a man or woman who has had special Instruc­ tion in mental-health principles, says Christian Smith, Director of Public Education and Organiza­ tion Services of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene (Canada). In an article—“Mental Health is Important to Industry”—in the magazine HEALTH, nublished by the Health League of Canada, Mr. Smith says «mt when speaking of mental ill-health in industry there should not be so much concern with psychotic conditions—conditions so acute that the patient, ns demonstrated by hia behavior, is unmistakably ’ ill. There should bo, however, concern about the less spectacular and often hidden personality disorders. “It i» these minor illnesses whieh affect our relationship with others, our attitudes to the job, Notes on the Editor's Pad.. We hope no one sends the King a set of the latest Canadian stamps because we’re sure it would cause a Canadian cabinet crisis. The stamps, from the one to the five cents, are most unflattering to say the least. In fact, we think they’re terrible.The King is a fine-looking man but you would never get that impression from the stamps. In one denomination he looks like a kid, and in another he looks like an old man. In none does he look like him- Some people see the three-cent portrait a very dose resemblance to George Drew. In fact, so the story goes, one lady (believed to be C.C.F. or some party other than the conservative) went up to the local 'wicket, asked for some stamps and was about to stick one on an envelope, when she thrust it back to tje stamp dealer, saying "You can have that—I'm certainly not putting the picture of George Drew on any of my letters.” It'3 a good thing Jimmy Westcott i» of a quiet, tolerant nature or murder might have been com­ mitted in The Tribune offices last week. If any man had just cause for such violent activities, Jimmy did. Jimmy Is—and was in the, process of drawing a most detailed plan of Ingersoll for use in a book­ let being prepared by the Jaycees. The map is so complete you can almost pick out the broken Thames St. curbing. But anyway, Jimmy had just^ompleted about five laborious days on the map when a lad came in to watch him. This lad backed againfet a radiator tap, a$d a bit of hot water sprayed his leg. He yelped and moved — and the hot water sprayed all over Jimmy's Ingersoll, wiping it off the map. so to apeak. Jimmy muttered a bit (merci­ fully, to himself), bit his Up clean to the jaw, smiled wanly about it being an accident, and started out from scratch again. And, of course, there’s always someone who really doesn’t believe it all, and has to try it himself. Is this how it went, asked escapee No. 2, turning on the tap. And out sprayed the hot water again. More by good luck than by good management, the spray this time missed the map. Had it hit, we'd have cheerfully given Jimmy the axe and our blessing...............P.S. The two unnamed gentlemen are still alive, and Jimmy is still pro­ gressing, thank you. Saturday morning we were running madly around town in the position of a nian trying to give away a couple of $20 gold pieces and unable to find any takers. It all began when the phone rang, and a man said he "was Lou Cope, of Windsor, and he had been on hia way to Toronto for the East-West foot­ ball game, but his car skidded dowp Bell St hill and was damaged to the tune of $300. and he couldn’t go any further, and eould anyone use his TWO ' TICKETS FOR THE EAST-WEST GAME? Well for weeks before asking for « couple of tickets was like asking for a direct passage to the heavenly gates. They just didn’t exist. In Toronto, people had been lining up through the wintry nights to get them. They were paying as much as $60 each for them. And here was Lou Cope, of Windsor, trying io GIVE TWO AWAY. True, game time was only . three hours away, but to an enthusiast it was worth it. But do you think we could find anyone who wanted them? No sir. In Toronto we’d have been killed in the rush just mentioning them, and probably put ourselves through college on the income. But not here. Finally, Bill Clark said he'd like them. With only two hours to go,,he grabbed them and headed for Toronto and the^ biggest game of the year. But he didn't get far before he was over­ taken—by his Dad—who needed the car for urgent business. So Bill listened to the game—gradually tearing to shreds those invaluable magic purple ducata. As for Lou Cope, and big friend, Miss J. Temple, the language was not so much at missing the game, but at th’# lack of anti-skid stuff on the Bel! St hill. “Boy” said Lou, “whoever is respon­ sible for leaving that hill in that state should be- taken out and shot.’1 They LISTENED to the game, Highways and Livestock _ It is generally believed by motorists that if an accident is caused on the highway through collision with livestock that the owner is thereby responsible for all damages. This apparently is an erroneous idea. A number of recent accidents caused by cattle straying on to the highways has focused attention on the liability involved in these cases of a criminal and civil nature. J. D. Millar, Deputy Minister of Highways for Ontario, explains that under amendments to the Highway Improvement Act of two years ago, a farmer or owner of cattle cannot be sued for any damage caused by the animals while roaming or crossing a highway. “Even though the owner may be at fault in per­mitting the animals on the highways and an acci­ dent results, he faces only a nominal fine on con­viction and cannot be held financially responsible for damages arising from the accident This change was made to prevent fanners from losing their property and life savings by being held financially responsible for the damages roaming animal might do by getting out into a highway," ne stated. White a railroad company is obligated to maintain • £or Z^ring around their right-of-way tokeep cattle off the tracks, the provincial govern- ™«nt as owner# the highways, is not required to undertake the same obligation in connection with roads. The obligation in this instance rests with On Friday night, the officers of King Hiram Lodge were elected as follows: Bro. Austin Miller, W.M.; Bro. Dr. Neff, S.W.; Bro. J. W. Patterson, J.W.; Bro.

B. DEGREE a son of James L. and Maude A. Browning. His father was a school teacher und postmaster at Adams­ville before going to Zanesville where he served aa Deputy County Treasurer. He later became cashier of the People’s Bank at Frazeys­burg. After graduation in 1912 from Frazeysburg High School, Mr. Browning attended Muskingum Col­ lege at New Concord. After three years with his father in the Frazeys­burg Bank, he returned to Zanes­ville in 1923 as manager of the Zanesville Savings and Loan Com­pany. In 1927 Mr. Browning was named manager of the Zanesville Chamber, of Commerce. In that capacity he was active in the various organiza­tions that promoted the Muskingum Conservancy District Upon formation of the Musk­ingum Conservancy District in 1933, Mr. Browning became its Sec- retary-Treaaurer and has served continuously since that time. This project is understood to ba the only one of ite type in the world where local, States and Federal Govern­ ment joined in the development of a broad conservation program. For several years Mr. Browning served as a Director of the Ameri­ can Forestry Association, He was one of the founding members of Friends of The Land, a national conservation organization, and has served continuousuly as a member of Its board. He in also an officer and member of the Board of Gov­ernors of the Ohio Forestry Asso­ ciation.Mr. Browning and his wife, the former Edith M.

Supports “Paid” College Players, If a man has some Drains and an ability to play football, why shouldn’t he take advantage of offers to take a university course —even if it is just s« that he can play on the college team? Rev. Dan Gaynor, Chalmer’s United Church, Woodstock, posed thia question to members of the Cananadian Legion at their banquet for players on the town and zone softball team this year, held in "Hillcrest'' Nov. 25. "I know today,” he said, "of sev­ eral medical practitioners who would never have been able to go to uni­ versity if they hadn’t been spotted as a good football player and some­one asked them if they'd like to go to university.” •T ask you, is there anything so very wrong in that? I think not Because an old graduate who had no sons, offered to put them through their university if they would play football andthey took the chance to become doctors, is there anything wrong in that?” (Members of both the town and zone league teams honored at the banquet included Ted Clark, captain of the Zone B2 team; Jack Payne, captain of the town team; Baldy Boynton, Ross Crown, Fred Vale, Frank . Vale, Lorne Mills, Benny Sheldon, Thorny Noe, “Wacky’ Bartram, Graham Mills and others.Head table guests were Cecil Magee, Rev. Charles D. Daniel, Rev. Dan Gaynor, Eddy Moore, Norm Kurtzman, president; Frank Barris, zone commander; Bill Powell, depu- tyzonn Commander, and Lou VolL Entertainment was provided by Ernie Hewitt, George Savage and Martin Brooks.Speaking during the evening were Jack Payne, Ted Clark, Gordon McKee, Pete Paton and Stub Har­ per, Woodstock.

Jack Warden and the “Ind­ ians" after being on the war-path last week, with lack edging the 300 mark and Bonnie the 200, while “old man" Fortner and Mrs. Fortner rol­led like two veterans for some solid scores, split with Fred McDermott’s "Giants". The "Tigers" took five from the “Bears" to put them in a first place tie with Connie Ring’s “Cubs”. The "Rockets” owned by Leona Mc- Noah came out on the short end of a five to two decision with the “Cubs” . with Pat Foster and Joe Story hav­ing a two-man battle with Pat Fos­ter edging Joe by only a few pins. The whole team bowled well. Poor Frank and his "Woody's" who have had 10 pointe for BO long that the rest of us are beginning to become complexed, we will have to find you some points somewhere. The "Pirates” captained by Jack Shannon took seven away from the "Woody’s" and is now bid­ding for a berth near the front of the gravy train. High Triples for the night were by the following; Nora Wituik 648; Pat Foster 683; J. Story 676. High Singles were bowled by: J. Story 288; Pat Foster 268, Nora Wituik 267, Joe Hunt with 253 and the "red head” with 257.Hope to see you all next week as tonight we have a bye. Bye-bye.

(That is if no one heckles, them) Jake Pittock is holding down second spot about nine points back of the leaders. Lots of time yet Jake. Dick Lowe and his "Hollowheads" bowl well but just can’t seem to click for many points.

Acting in i accordance with this principle the Authority has Set out to purchase a ; considerable acreage in the Ellice Swamp, located in Perth County. By controlling run-off here at its source two things are accomplished: Water is held back until flood crests have begun to recede and through deep seepage, water tables in the soil, for miles around perhaps, are raised and held constant This is of tremendous importance from the viewpoint of agriculture and of those urban muni­cipalities depending on deep wells for supplies of water. I am confident that the Authority will proceed aggressively with its conservation program but in the final analyses the greatest contribution can be made by the farmers themselves.

PHONE « 7—— ■ * Second Section It’s a Big Night For Stone Family On 80th Birthday *ited, night . at St. James’ Anglican parish halL Nov. 24, and everybody ami his brother who had anything to do with Stones was there. The anew coming down in carloads didn't stop any of the nesr-300 from attending—not even the entertainers who came alt the way from Toronto in a blinding blizzard and enter­ tained on empty stomachs. It was the biggest gathering in the company’s 80-year history, which was being celebrated- There were the employees and their wives, and their friends and their wives. There was also Stone's Nationals, the company's champion ball team. And all night, it seemed, somebody was presenting something to some­body else. F. Heath Stone, presi­ dent, who presided, received flowers for the company; Mrs. Stone got flowers for herself; Mr. Stone was presented with a beautiful pen and pencil set (Seek); the ball team got windbreakers, and some other folk- got suckers—all in fun, of course. The whole evening was a lot of fun.Seated at the head table in the crowded room were Rev. and Mrs. 'C. J. Queen, Mr. and Mra. A. E. Ixzard, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ed­ wards of Oakville, (Mr. Edwards is a director of the firm); President and Mra. F. Heath Stone, A- W. Stone who has been 71 years with the firm; hia daughter, Misa M. Stone, Mr. and iMrs. R. A. Stone, (A. W.’s son and daughter-in-law), and Mr. and Mra. L. A. Westcott.After The King, with Eddie Ide at the piano, Heath Stone introdu­ced such guests as Mr. and Mra. Walter Nugent, Mra. William J. Stone, of Oakville, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Henley, representing the Imperia], Bank with wnich Stones deal, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Forman, and several others.While Heath Stone presided. Max Poole seemed to be the master of ceremonies. He was here, there and everywhere and made sure the evening didn't slow down for a sec­ ond. He and Garfield Hudson led the sing-songs. Then James McKee, fitone’s man-about-town, whisked to the front and presented Mr. Stone with roses—37 of them, for the number of years the company has been in business in IngersolL The roses were the‘gift of the Imperial Bank. Then Max started shouting about I people’s birthdays and before any­body knew it Bill Smith, Scotty I Parkhill and Lib. Fick, (Mrs. H. W. Fick), and Mrs. Roy Hoover 1 were standing in a corner expect­antly. Smith's birthday was the next day, Parkhill’s the day before, and Mrs. Fick and Mrs. Hoover—that very day. They all got presents— all-day suckers! Then Mr. Heath Stone said he’d never seen_so many pretty girls, read messages of con­gratulations from his brother Bill in Oakville, and a head of the'Im­ peria) Bank, and told the gathering “this is indeed an outstanding occas­ ion-one of which we may be justly proud.’’ He noted the great pro­ gress and expansion in the plant and gave most of the credit to the inter­est and co-operation of all the em­ ployees past and present. He noted phosphates—2000 tons at a time— were now being brought by boat to Port Burwell—the first bulk cargoes of any size other than coal to be brought into that port.Proudly Mr. Stone introduced Mr. A. W. Stone, a son of the founder of the company, who said that hard work, honesty and foresight are the only ways to success.’’ The gathering gave him tremendous ap­plause. Mr. Heath Stone paid tribute to the three founders of the com­pany—Wm. Stone, Wm. Stone, Jr., and Fred Stone, and he asked all to stand for a niinute in tribute. Then Mr. Stone introduced members of Stone's Quarter-Century Club—A. W. Stone, 71 years; R, A. Stone, 42; A. E. Izzard, 41; Robert Garland, 35; L. A. Westcott, 31. and Vic Harrison, 29. Then the ball team was introduced. All Get Praised President Heath praised them roundly, and there was-bags of ap- I plause and a special for Frank Bis- j bee who drove in the title-winning run. Frank York, the manager, re- • ceivcd a token windbreaker, and R- I A. Stone gave al) the boys a certi­ ficate entitling them to one. Then Mr. Stone praised the committee that organized the 80th birthday? and Arthur Izzard thanked Mrs. F. W. Jones “for the wonderful dinner you ladies of.the church prepared and served.” Mrs. Jones said it was indeed a pleasure. ,A. W. Stone drew the ticket for the “booby’’ prize, and the number under Mrs. Jack Brown’s chair won it It was a toaster, and was presented by Mr. Westcott Mrs. Sam Titus was sitting on the other lucky chair. After the entertain­ment, during which Roy Bonner, Roy Hoover and Hogan McKay gained an assist, Mrs. Cecil Smith presented Mrs. Heath Stone with Bowers. and Bob Garland presented President Heath with the beautiful engraved table set There were tears in his eyes as Heath Stone .

He is helped by twice-daily soundings of the up­per air. Prediction is made difficult by the feet that so many factors must be kept in mind and weighed at one time- The public demands that a forecast shall be expressed as nearly as .possible in one word: clear, fair, cloudy, rain. This does not allow a fair exercise of tho forecaster's skill, because to describe what is likely to happen within the next 24 or 30. hours would require a paragraph at least. There can be great differences within small areas: not long ago there was rain on St. Jame* St in Montreal and none on Craig St, only a block away. No matter what the During recent years many local J rains have been induced by dropping , dry ice on rain clouds. Mr. J. L.

Analysis of the results showed that rain or snow reached the pound on c 84 per cent of all the Canadian trials. ■ Is the applied experiments on selec­ted clouds rain or snow reached the < ground on 48 per cent of the attempts. ; Mr. Orr added: "From the scien­ tific standpoint, the results achieved are noteworthy and the ability to alter the structure of the great majority of clouds, to produce precipitations from many clouds, and even, under certain conditions to generate clouds, is remarkable.”The advance already made hi knowledge and practice indicates that it may be possible to put rain-making I on a firm basis shortly.

On Monday, December 5. t-h-e- ' electors in the municipalities which comprise the Ingersoll District High School Area will be asked to vote on tbe question of a new school to re­lieve the overcrowded conditions at the present time and to provide ac­ commodation for the anticipated in­crease within the next few years. in view of this forthcoming vote the member* of the area board feel it ‘ is their duty to place before the elec- - tors the facts which have prompted them to ask the voter* to approve of the construstion of a new district i school. ... ..The members of the board realize that the tax rate has increased con- s’derably, particularly in the town of Ingersoll in the last few yean. The board realizes, loo, that the building of a new school, even with govern­ ment grants, will place an added bur­den on the taxpayer. Were it merely a matter of outmoded accommodation, or the fact that the pupils are, in many cases, working under extreme difficulties because of large classes and crowded conditions, or the fact that their choice of options is drasti­cally curtailed under the present ar­rangements. we are sure that the board, teachers and students would willingly put up with this for another few years as have pupils attending secondary school in this district for the past quarter of a century. The facts of the matter are. how­ever, that it is quite likely that the present school buildings, will actually not accommodate the number of pupils who plan to- attend school next year. During the past five years the enrol­ment in the Ingersoll school has in­ creased from 184 to 302, and increase oi 118 pupils. The present enrolment of pupils in thc.public schools in the area would indicate that there will be, at a conservative estimate, a fur­ther increase of 100 pupils or more in the next five years. Surely no right- thinking person will deny these pupils the right to a secondary school edu­ cation. In spite of the increase tn tax rate which will result from the build­ ing of n school we believe every Per­son will concede that the education of the children of this district is equally, if not more important, than /. the projects which have raised our tax rates during the past few years.1 Our children should have the same opportunities to prepare themselves for their life’s work us have the child­ren in the hundreds of communities in the province where schools have been built during the past few years. During 1948 more than 136 new high schools or collegiate* were built or had additions added. In 1948 more 25 million dollars were provided in government grants for school build­ ings throughout the province. The pupils of this area, we contend, are as deserving of proper school facili­ ties as arc the pupils in the commun­ities where these school* have been builtNext September it is Quite likely that about 325 pupils will seek admis­sion to the Ingersoll District Colleg­iate Institute. It is doubtful if this number can be accommodated in the present building. This situation will become increasingly acute during the next five years or more. It I* quite possible that even before a new school could be constructed, staggered clas­ ses may have to be instituted. The alternative is to rent additional ac­commodation. At the present time the board already operates two schools and rent* apace in the public school for Shop Work and Home Economics. To rent further additional ac­commodation would be even more ex­ pensive and would definitely not be in the best interest* of the pupils. The third solution which the inspec­ tors made on their recent visit fwas to re-organize the classes in the Ing­ersoll and Thamesford schools. Thl* would require transporting pupils in ' Grade* XI and XII from the East Nisrouri-Thame* ford district to the Ingersoll District Collegiate and - transporting some pupil* from grades IX and X from Ingersoll a* well as North Oxford, West Oxford and West Zorn to the Thamesford school. This might be a solution for one year or two at the moat but it, too, would be costly and not in the interests of the lllflaUiiatioo, Both Meteor and Mercury Station Wagons available for the first time in Conrartiblaa also avnOabla tor Spring 1WW delivery.

NANCEKIVELL « Bell Street - Pho.* 147 Prompt Delivery Service HISTORY of the INDUSTRY In 1888, John Dawning founded the Beaehville White Lime Company and operations were started at a location which is now owned by Gypsum Lime & Alabastine Company. The Company expanded to the west, until 1929, the North American Cyantfmid puArhased the western half of the land from the Beaehville White Lime Company and the Gypsum Lime & Alabastine Co. purchased the original quarry.‘ Since 1929, there have been many changes in order to increase produc­tion. Diesel shovels have replaced steam shovels and more up-to-date methods of screening have been ih- stalled. At present, about 40.006 tons of lin. and 2in. limestone are produ­ced per month, and about 5,000 tons of finer limestone per month.The only product handled is lime­ stone (calcium carbonate) of which there are different types according to fineness. The lin. and 2in lime­stone goes to Niagara Falls where it is reduced and changed to calcium carbide. The finer limestone is used for agriculture and feed, while the, powdered limestone goes into glass products and rubber products. MANUFACTURING PROCESS A vast deposit of high-grade lime­stone, testing 98 per cent calcium car­bonate, is mined by the open-top quarry method. It is located in the Thames River valley, midway between Beaehville and Ingersoll. This quarry covers approximately 30 acres, to an average depth of 70 ft. This high­grade limestone is crushed and scree­ ned primarily for shipment to the Niagara Falls plant where it is mixed with coke, and fused together in large electric furnaces in the manu- i facture of, calcium. fajbide. This is only one of many products, too'num­ erous to mention, of which this lime- ■ stone is an essential ingredient. < STRIPPING z < The first operation in quarrying * limestone is stripping, that is, re- ’ moving the overburden, which ia ; earth, sand, gravel and brush. For r this operation, a Diesel-driven power shovel is used. Thia shovel loads the ' overburden onto dump trucks, which 1 carry it to the dump. The top of the ' rock is then swept clean with brooms. * At the present time most of this over- ‘ burden is being dumped back into the < quarry to fill the space where the 1 limestone has been removed. DRILLING Two electricall/ driven Cyclone drills are used to drill holes in the rock for blasting. These drills make a round hole 6in. in diameter, straight down for a distance from 74 ft. to 80 ft. These holes arc drilled in a row 18 ft. back from the- rock and are spaced 12 ft apart They do not drill any deeper, as the limestone ia not suitable for their purpose below this depth. The drilling is done by a chisel-shaped bit 4 ft. long with a 20 ft steel stem. The stem and bit have a swivel socket at the top to which is attached 150 ft wire cable. 'By means of the cable, the stem and bit are raised about 2 Mi ft, then let fail on the rock under their own weight. This pounding plus the turn­ ing of the stem and bit allowed by the swivel socket does the drilling. Each drill requires only one operator and an operator can drill 50 ft, in an 8-hour day, when he does not have to move the drill to a new location or make repairs to the drill. BLASTING When ready to blase, dynamite is drawn by truck from the undergr­ound storage magazine to the drill­ ing holes. To the first or bottom stick of dynamite in each drill-hole is the only one connected to the fuse. The other sticks of dynamite are plate and a movable plate which' swings back and forth closing to within 5 or « .riches at the bottom. This action crushes the limestone aa it drops into the covered conveyor belt running from beneath the pri­mary crusher to a bin at the top of the secondary crusher feeder. Freq­ uently a particularly large piece of limestone becomes wedged between the sides of a crusher and will not drop through. When thiB happens, a large cast-iron pear-shaped weight, weighing about 1600 lbs. is raised and dropped on the stone to break it up. The belt carrying the lime­stone from the primary crusher to the secondary crusher is an endless rubber conveyor belt 284 ft long and 36 in. wide, and costa approximately $2,000. The crushed limestone from the primary crusher is fed from a bin down a chute to the secondary or finishing crusher by means of a Ross Feeder, which is a series of endless chains moving about the chute and regulates the flow of limestone to the secondary crusher. The secondary crusher is a Traylor finishing gyra­tory type crusher, shaped somewhat for shipment to Canada Cement Co., Port voihome, Ont., and other cus­ tomers. The limestone under the ai«e required by the Niagara Plant is the only limestone sold commercially. About SO per cent of the limestone Is under Hin. in size and cannot be used by the Niagara Plant in the manufacture of calcium carbide. SHIPPING The limestone Ie loaded from a aiding into open top railroad hopper cars for shipment to Niagara Falla and Port Coiborne. Two eara of 2 in. of 1 in. limestone. At present 15 cars of limestone are being shipped to the Niagara Falls plant, each day. From two to four cars per day of undersize limestone, is being shipped to Canada Cement Co., Port Col- borne. Railroad hopper cars hold an average of 60 tons of limestone per car. A 30-ton Whitcomb gasoline loco­motive switches the loaded hopper picked up by the railroad once a day, like a bell, and driven by a 150 horse- > power electric motor. The crushing । head is on the inside on a vertical shaft which moves backward and forward on an accentric, giving it about an inch movement. Ths lime­stone is crushed between the moving crushing head and the stationary side of the crusher. On leaving this cru­sher the limestone is from 3 in. down to dust size, drops onto a 36 tn. wide conveyor belt 427 ft. tong, which carries the stone up a covered incline from the secondary belt that costs approximately $2,200, SCREENING | The limestone drops off the second­ary belt into the Universal Vibrator where screens take out any dust left in the 2 in. stone before it is loaded into railroad hopper cars for ship­ment to the Niagara Falls plant. The limestone under 2 in. drops into another bin and is conveyed to the Niagara Vibrator screens. All atone over 2 in. drops into a third section of the bin and ia fed into the 48 in. Symons Disc Crusher. This crusher has two cones. One cone is stationary and the other one is on a shaft hav­ing an accentric motion. These cones are close together at the outside edge. The' limestone enters this qrusher through the middle of the stationary cone and aa it falls to the edge and out from between,' the cones it is crushed and by conveyor returned to the Universal Vibrator screen for re­screening. There are four Niagara Vibrator screening units in the plant. Two of these units have three decks of screens and two. have two decks ofscreens. The screens PULVERIZING PLANT Much of the limestone which is under H in. lumps is put in a Stur- devand Mill which turns the time-stone to a powder. There is also a I smaller auxiliary mill which serves the same purpose. The powdered limestone is then conveyed by ele-vator from below thesertnills and ia taken to the upper part of the bagger. From here it is then loaded on a box car, ready for shipment. SAFETY Working in a limestone quarry ia not as safe aa many other jobs. How­ever, the company has several dif­ ferent ways of promoting safety. There are posters on all bulletin boards advising safety. The workers are divided into teams, and an acci­dent to a worker is a point against his team. Dust collectors hove been installed throughout the buildings to make working conditions more heal­thful. EMPLOYEES ACCOMMODATION A small neat building provides a lunch room, lockers and rest rooms for workers. The lunch room also serves as a meeting place for the plant committee who offers sugges­tions and advice to the company offi- are all wiremesh screens and the units vibrate on an accentric shaft at a high rate of speed. These units separate the dust, grits or % in,. M in. and lin. limestone into their respective bins Honor Memory Of late Member The WCTU met at the home of Sees Ingersoll Setting Example (B, Mik.

DEREHAM TEACHERS MEET IN BROWNSVILLE The Dereham Township teachers held their November meeting recently at Brownsville School. Suggestions for the school work section of the Erize list* of Ingersoll and Tillson- urg fairs were offered by the tea­chers.A committee consisting of Dorothy Lemon, Margaret Hansen, Mrs. Way and Dorris Huntley were chosen to prepare the lists to submit to the Fair boards. The next meeting is to be held at S.S. No. 3, Dereham when methods of teaching subtraction will be discussed. Now that the Thames Valley has had a new face lifting, reforestation will go a long way in making the Thames River, through Ingersoll, beautiful. Trees can be planted to stop erosion and act as wonderful small game sanctuaries. The trees planted properly will stop the earth from being washed away into the what is happening every time it rains—away goes some top soil into the river, and lots more will end up there when the spring flood comes. yent erosion, they also help Im­mensely in improving the barren appearance of the river banks. The next step is to stop impurities of every type being emptied into the river and in time the river can be stocked with fish. Then the trees and fish grow, polution is stopped, we have a clean river, good fishing and the civic minded citizen ia bet­ter satisfied with the eye appealing scenery. This community can lead in setting an example for other towns along the Thames in making the river beautiful. Trade winds always blow from nn easterly direction toward the equator, LAID TO REST MRS.

Tilling, ARRC, has been engaged in an executive capacity as operating room superintendent at the Peter­borough Civic Hospital and will have charge of organizing the operating rooms in the new hospital. Miss Tilling is a graduate of Hamil­ton General Hospital, where she was first assistant in the operating room, later taking positions in charge at Ingersoll and Winchester, Va. In Janu­ary, 1942, she entered the Navy as a nursing sister and was promoted to matron in 1944. She served at HJM.CS. Niobe in Scotland, was sent io Halifax to organize the operating room there and was superintendent at Shelburne, N.S. For her work she was awarded the Associate Royal Red Cross Medal by the King. She comes to Peter­ borough from the Oshawa Clinic, where she was in charge of nurses. highly beneficial to both Perth and Oxford Counties, but to date, satis­factory arrangements with property owners have not been consummated. Hawser, this project is still on the agenda.An effort is being made by the TVA to institute a series of demonstrations of Conservation practices. In quest of suitable and willing co-operators, we found Cecil Riddle in North Oxford Township already setting an example and the TVA hereby publicly recog­ nises the good pioneer work that Mr. Riddle is doing. From the highway west of Beachville one can observe a good illustration of strip cropping on Mr. Riddle's farm. The TVA hope* to establish others like it and intro- duca worthwhile Conservation fea­ tures on several strategic locations on the water shed in Oxford.The retention of small ponds is definitely a part of the TVA program and negotiations have been opened with respect to ponds in Embro, Har­ rington and Centreville. The TVA hopes to enlarge this enterprise and even restore old ponds that once made their contribution to the water res* ervoira of the soils about them.The first large project undertaken by the Thames Valley Authority with the aid of the Ontario Government is located on the South Branch of the Thames River flowing through Ox­ford County. A river correction enter­prise, extending from Beachville to a mile west of Ingersoll,the object being to provide much needed flood protection and at the same time it opens a way for industrial expansion in the valley between Ingersoll and Beachville.It must be recorded here and in the minds of the people that the Up­per Thames River Conservation Au­thority is still a very young organi­ zation and is operating under legis­lation that is new in Canada. The TVA is working gradually and we hope wisely, on a long-term program which, when completed, will be of inestimable benefit to all the people living in this large valley drained by the Thames. Drills Like Hair Made at Morrow’s Drill* varying in size from the diameter of a human hair to that of a milk bottle are produced by Morrow Screw and Nut Co., Ltd., at Inger­soll for Ford of Canada.Th. hair-sized drills are used to clean the nozzles of welding guns and the big jobs are used in the tool room for special work. Altogether Morrow supplies stand­ard drills in more than 100 shea. 60 special types, according to Harvey Moon, supervisor of follow-np at Morrow, are designed to drill and ream at the same time, and to per­form drilling and tapping operations simultaneously. The frills made for Ford have tapered shanks known to the trade as "use-em-up-fiats". As Al Norman, assistant superintendent of general stores, explains it, this shank makes it possible for the operator to readj­ ust it in his machine in the event that the drill breaks. Ford of Canada has more than 1,000 drilling machines.Drills are only part of the business the Ingersoll firm does for Ford. It supplies also connecting rod bolts and nuts, front spring pin, studs of fine and coarse threads, king pin lock pin, front seat lock pins, trans­mission interlocking sleeves, door vent 'window inserts, driving pinion bearing spacer and emergency brake kver pins.The Morrow Company has much automatic screw machinery and cold­ header equipment This specialized machinery enables the company to supply a large volume of parte to the automotive industry.The company employees 430 people and has 161,142 square feet of floor space.

The young circuit rider* of the Methodist church travelled thousands was $80 a year—if it could be col­lected.

Just when the first log church was built is not known, but by the year 1806, it stood on, or near, the site of the present West Oxford church, the first, and for years the only church building in the County of Ox­ ford. In that year a young man, Chas. Askin by name, on adventure benL rode horseback from his home in Sandwich to York and back.

Probationers were forbid­den to marry until after their four years of service, so they had no fam­ily r«ponsibilities.Nathan Bangs, who became a pro­ bationer in 1802, married Mary Boi- ton, of Edwardsburg, in 1806.

You’ll need those arms and legs for the next CUM, and your team will need you. It is wise tri make fruit cakes | and plum puddings now since the mixture mellows into1 a more deli­cious flavour when stored in a eool. dry place. When the cake is loosely wrapped in waxed paper and placed in a tightly covered tin or crock you can be assured it will not dry out. Then, too, if you leave a small orange <jr apple in the container for a week, there will be sufficient moisture supplied but it must bo removed before it rduuld», eise cage or puddings mould too. Do not ice the cake until a few days before Christmas. We like to bake our Chocolate Fruit Cake in a ring mould and serve it simply-Zm a glass plate decorated with holly leaves and cranberries. With the crumbs from a cut fruit cake roll into a ball with a Jittie pudding sauce and place in in the centre of a dish of small cakes. The traditional plain pudding is served piping hot with a brandy sauce, even set ngloiw as brought to the table, but we think you too may enjoy chilled fruit pudding and ice cream with a sauce—our folks do. If you forget ^o make- an Ice eream sauce, heat a cup o f marma­lade and pour over ice cream. The holiday festivities soon creep up.

Our idea of discipline has always been that of a lot of men on a parade Suare plus a sergeant major and>en Ham said he got them to line up, right drees, stand at ease and so on, we thought we knew just what be meant. But it really isn’t anything like that. Ham gets his discipline in a way the army would never under­ stand—laughter. When the class started it sounded like hedlnm, with every boy yelling his loudest at every other boy—and there are anywhere between 30 and 35 in a class. Then they started a game. They all stood against the wall, 'out came a marker and they all fell I in and got dressed off to the right. | Ham timed them and after they had i done it a couple of times they had it down to 17 seconds flat—which is good. It wasn't long before it was appa-t rent that the kids were enjoying do-1 ing it Interruptions get short shrift | from genial Ham, who is an expert at turning a situation. Just as they I had all got lined up a boy sitting out at the side made a rude noise and they were pretty soon all laugh­ing hard. Not because it was parti­cularly funny but because boys like to laugh. Ham singled out the offender and told him that kiddies in Kinder­ garten did things like that and per­haps he’d better go back there from grade VIII. \ , They still laughed, but this time it was at the boy, not Ham, and con­trol was restored. Just like that The way the boys jump to it and pay attention to what is said is a sure indication that they arefgetting their discipline—and liking it.After a few exercises they broke up into teams and played dodgeball for the rest of the hour. "The sooner they get their exercises done the;sooner they can play games—and! games are what they like best," ex-| plained Ham, "Actually they are I learning to discipline themselves and T they don’t know it. IAs we left we remarked that we thought it was pretty good. “Yes, they are good,” says Ham, "but you! ought to see the girl’s class. They’re i much better."The girl’s class, eh?
