G. Murray, addressing the 1950 council Tuesday night, urged every citizen of Ingersoll “to do his share in making this the best town in Canada.”His address follows:“To the Citizens of Ingersoll:“It is an honour which I appreciate very much to deliver my fifth inaugural address. First, I want to congratulate the three members of council elected in December. Two are in our council for the first time this year and I should like to extend to them « very cordial welcome. I am sure they will be very valuable to our municipality.“As I said last year, we cannot attempt any extensive Improvements, owing to our financial position, but we shall try to do what is necessary. “We all feel that we are terribly burdened with taxes, but it is worth a great deal to live in as good a town as Inger- Toast The Wilsons For 1950 Success A toast to aucceM ot the Wilsons --K.

The toast ■ was propofed by L. A. Westcott, who said he noticed Miss Canada IV was going to try it again, and he expres­sed the hope that they would “bring the trophy to Ingersoll in 1050."This Kiwanis meeting wag the last over which President Walter Thurtell 1 would preside.

AlexPearson celebrated hfg 96th birthday than a year ago.Up with his daughters and son and friends, he had a real birthday party —complete with special cake and| candles (no, not 96). On the cake read “96th birthday”.Present with him, and discussingthe affairs of the day, both local and world-wide, were hiB son Charlie, and Mrs. Pearson; his daughter. Miss Lillian Pearson, who has been a won­derful companion to him for years; cerg and directors. The two new dir­ectors, Ken Daniel and Tommy Lee, spoke at the last meeting.Mr. Thurtell read a note from Sam Gibson, saying thanks for the Christ­mas messages and gifts from various members and the dub.

We also have our new artificial ice rink which will provide healthful recreation for the young people. I am sony we did not see our way clear to build a new collegiate this year, but hope we may be able to do it in the near future. “Ingersoll has grown very fast in the last few years, and is still growing. This fact will help our tax rate, and it shows that people have confidence in our town. “I should like to pay tribute to the sendee clubs who are doing so much good work in the interests of the under-privil­ eged, and for the general improvement o£ the community.“Your council wants to do all it can in the interest of the municipality, but every citizen is urged to do his share in making this the best town in Canada. In closing I would like to quote this most appropriate piece of verse: “ ‘If you want to live Jn the kind of a town. Like the kind of a town you like, You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. said: "Walt’s done a good job; some­one will have to go a long way to beat him in future years."Mr. Westcott, chairman of the child welfare committee, lauded the work of Lloyd Brown, and revealed that Brown, Izzard and Stone had per­sonally brought Christmas to a num­ber of youngsters who otherwise would have had none. President Thur­tell then lauded Secretary Monty Montgomery, re-elected unanimously. “Until I was president," he said, “I didn't realize how impossible it would be for the club to get along without him.” Cliff Love, in turn, congratulated Wait on “a very fine year as president.”“The Three Hags from Hogsville”, featuring Austin Fortner, Dave Stone and Walt Burton, assisted by Herb Baker (Doc Baker, we presume), en­tertained the club. Jack Hunsberger, of Stones', also helped. Cleaning Campaign Is Mr. Hyde’s Idea A campaign to keep the new school addition clean was suggested by Mr. L. B. Hyde, schools inspector, when the public school bon rd met Tuesday for their first meeting of 1950. “The new building is an excellent job," he said, "Now what you should do is start a campaign between the child­ren and the janitor to keep the place clean. It is just as important as ari­thmetic and grammar to teach them to keep their property clean.”“A little campaign would be quite in order was chairman C. A. Ack- ert's reply." sons, W. H. Pearson, Toronto, and H. P. Pearson, Sydney, B.C., wired con­gratulations and best wishes. Mr. Pearson has eight grandchildren and and nine great grandchildren.Many people dropped In to wish the very distinguished-looking citizen a happy birthday, including Misa Annie Moon, Rev. C. D. Daniel, Mrs. H. E. Hutt and others. He got piles of; cards and made sure everyone saw them.Of course, someone got talking about the weather, and since Mr. Pearson has seen many more winters . than the average meteorologist, if Mr. Pearson says it’s unusual, it is.“I’ve never known it to be so mild for so long at this time of year," he said.Mr. Pearson spends a great deal of his time listening to the radio and reading—yes, reading—and particu­larly Reader's Digest. He read that Winston Churchill was picked the man of the half-eentury, and while ! he hasn’t commented yet—and he was . 46 when this century began—Miss ! Pearson says “Mr. Churchill is one of dad's favorite persons," As men and trucks worked Into the night dumping ton# of rock on sections of the channel not yet rip­ rapped, undermining began again as the water rose at least a foot over the Christmas flood level when thousands of tons of bank crumbled into the river, widening it 30 feet in places.The same mildness and rain which halted dumping of rock along the 8000-foot stretch east of Centreville, sent the river up over two feet be­tween Wednesday morning and six o'clock, it rising as much as eight inches between three and five. With continuing rain, it looked as though a new record would be set.Mr. Pittock said about 1100 feet of the 8000 to be rip-rapped had been done until the-jvet weather called a halt. An estimated 4000 yards of rock had been dumped on the bank. To facilitate rip-rapping on the south side, just east of town, a new "road” was scraped just north of the C.P.R., and trucks loaded with rock were be­ing pushed along by tractors through feet of mud.Undermining of the CPR track is said the only real danger to further erosion.Mr. Pittock said there was plenty of water" back in the country. Resi­dents reported they had never seen Smith's Pond so high. The creek run­ning from it to the Thames wi, u raging torrent as workmen cleared sluice and tunnel entrances to speed up the flow.

Ingersoll Said Pioneer Initiating New Plan A new educational system' was launched with the re-open­ing of Princess Elizabeth School, Jan. 3,* under Principal John Cook. As youngsters took their places in their brand new addition, grades one, two and three were put into one class­room, under one teacher, Mrs. R. A. Passmore.Some of the youngsters will stay with her for three years ’ under this new scheme, part of a new program announced by Hon. Dana Porter, minister of education, some months ago. Ingersoll, discloses A. G.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 5th, 1950 KI YEARS AGO Hydro Saving la Still Needed In Ontario In spite of the tremendous contraction policy undortaken by Ontario's Hydro Electric Power Commi»*i<>n this province ia not yet out of danger by Robert Saunders chairman for the H E.P C who ap|M‘aied for a five per cent cut in consumption of hydro power in Southern Ontario,The difficulty is, of course, that the district is growing so rapidly that the naw power provided by hydro is gobbled up as soon as it is produced. The H.K.P.C. ia in the Alice in Wonderland situation of having to run as fast as it can to keep in the R. M. Laurie, manager of hydro's Western region, points out that the five per cent reduction is not much for each user, but adds up to an impressive total of kilowatt hours. He holds out the hope that if the saving is continued through the period until navigation ends, sometime about December 15, more power will be available through increased diversion of water which normally goes through the Welland Canal.While the situation has undoubedly improved over LOOKING BACK In the File* of The Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario Making Barrels by Hand Is a Very, Very Ancient A rt A t the Library Looks As If Old King Winter la Gradually Losing His Grip Frankly, it would seem ®s though old King Winter waa losing his grip. To say that the weather of the past few days *»8 nnseasonal would be a master­ piece of understatement The weather has been most unusual, and it must have the weathermen scratching their heads in sheer bewilderment One begins to wonder if Canada’s complete weather picture is gradually changing over the years. Could the Arctic — the frozen north — be slowly turning into the temperate zone? At this time of the year we should be running around in woolies, slowed by ice and snow to a crawl on the highways. Instead, people are out .playing golf; watching the growth of tulips; picking up dew- worms, and b^ng slowed to a crawl by — of all things — fog. Our winters do seem to be “softer” as the years go by. Where are the terrific snows of which our old-timers speak? The days and dayB on end of bit­ ter sub-zero weather. First thing we know, Ameri­ cans will be coming up to Canada for their winters to dodge the snow and ice of Florida and California. We’H become the summer — not winter playground of America. And surely that tradition that all Canadians can eki, toboggan, skate, snowshoe and drive husky teams will surely die. To date, this “winter" there hasn't been a day or more of outdoor skating, not more than a run or two of skiing or tobogganing. Life must be embarrassing for the hares which torn white in winter to blend with the snow. Surely the most disappointed people in all the land, though, must be all the kiddies to whom Santa brought sleighs, skates, toboggans, skiis and all that other equipment that goes with the land of the snows. The weather certainly is changing. It used to be that we count on freezing our noses at least once a Vear. It hasn’t even twitched the past two. Perhaps the weather would be a suitable subject for a government investigation. We’re willing to bet the Eskimos are enjoying their mildest season, and wondering what it's all about, and the natives of Florida are battling their coldest season, and also wondering what it’s all about. Well, what is hap­ pening?

Barely they can make one big last effort.(London Free Preu) The Best Side of Rail Travel Rail travel is fine with us—and we don’t have to be riding in the “Train of Tomorrow" either. Can­adians who have never had the experience of travel­ling between Toronto and Montreal on the fast afternoon “Pool Train" have something to look for­ward to, if they do choose at some time to travel by rail to Montreal. The Pool Train (combined C.P. and C.N.) leaves Toronto daily at 4 p.m. and if the time-table is adhered to, it is rolling into Montreal shortly after 10 p.m. The rate of speed ia of course not con- eive to those who would read columns of smalt print or to after-dinner coffee drinkers, but there is a fine satisfaction to realizing that No. 15 is going well in excess of 80 miles an hour, a lot of the time, just as a service to you—one of its well-coddled passengers.For a reasonable plus fee you may travel in one of the chair cars and this to us is that added bit of luxury which is almost a necessity if you are to enjoy train travel.Back in Toronto safely on Saturday night after an even swifter return trip, we were required to board the London train for a midnight ride home­wards. But alas, the luxury of the chair car has almost turned our head. As we enter a day coach for the final leg of the trip, the sight of its plain interior and multiple seats causes our face to fall.There's no getting away from it—you do get used to that extra touch of luxury.(St. Marys Joumal-AryM) PROMOTION EXAMINATIONS(Continued from last .week.)

Modern machinery and mass production methods have replacd the hand tools of the cooper so that these days dozens of barrels are turned out in the time it would have taken a cooper to make one by hand meth­ ods.Sturdy as a barrel Is, however, it begins to *how wear after it ha* been in use for a while, and then skill of the cooper i« called into play. Because of its simple con­struction, the damaged keg can be repaired and made as good aa new by the insertion of new staves, new top or bottor or new hoops- This kind of repairing can be done again and again, in fact until the whole barre! has been repaired to the point where ita original parts have been entirely replaced. Thia ia the work which is done in our Cooper Shop at Dawes Draught Ate Brewery. Because the tools that coopers use have changed but little in perhaps hundreds of years, the Cooper Shop provides an old-world contrast with the modern barrel washing and racking machinery on i the same floor.

Repercussions were to be expected after La<iv Astor, advocating further education for educated women, made an unfortunate reference to the “wretched glamor girls” of Hollywood. The ensuing argument made imperative a/ trip to the dictionary to seek the real meaning of this blurb-tarnished word “glamor”, which, it is discovered has A variety of interpretations, from charm to fascination, from magic to witchery. In an earlier spelling, indeed, it claimed some relationship to “grammar,” probably in the sense that learning, being so rare, could be confused with magic. It is curious that Nancy Astor, who is a skillful Portia, should take thia back-handed slap at movie actresses in order to build up an education premise already accepted in theory if not yet extensively in fact The girls slap back with even lea* wit, employing an ancient feminine alibi by pre-suppos­ ing that Lady Astor is jealous.The fact is that there are two kinds of glamor, the kind that goes on like a paint job, and the kind that has an incandescent glow from within. But this neat division falls down before those who are both brilliant and beautiful, and those who add dullness to plainness. It happens, in this revolving era, that blonde beauties from the west coast turn into club women and farmers and that blue stock­ ings arc sometimes made of nylon.(London Free Press) The election for the Town Council this year was taken under the new act which only allows for a mayor and six councillors.

Men Who Inspired Ice Here Deserve A Great Big Hand Just to watch the hundreds of youngsters swarm on to the new artificial ice at the Community Centre must have been repayment enough to the men whose leadership made the ice possible. Of course, credit for this new community benefit must go largely to the people of Ingersoll and district who in less than a month contributed over 830,000 to make it possible. But the men who have dreamed about this ice for months, yes, even years; planned it, organized the campaign, then the program, de­ serve a great big hand from the thousands who will benefit. We have never seen a community where so many men — and women — manage to find time to work for the community’s interests. Frankly, we still titink there are far too many organizations meet­ ing far too often, but it is a wonderful thing to see so many people interested in other than them- aelves. A lot of ‘people brought thia ice into being but we must mention a few who really went all out, sparing of neither their time, energy or money. There’s Monty Jarrett, for instance, who has teen talking ice for years; Lew Martin and Gordon Pit­ tock, who have seen the ihside of more arenas prob­ ably than anyone in town; Bert Carr, who has written nearly every word on the subject, Reg Henley has spent hours handling the money that drivers like Sam Wadsworth, Carl Heeney, Jack Douglas, Abe Jewett, Jhn Ruddick, P. T. Walker, and Rev. C. D. Daniel have gathered up all around the country.

Plunging Prunes Listen boys! The New Look’s in at last, in Paris. At a male fashion show in the French capital four dashing young men selected personally by Tailor Gaston Waltener from among the more showy stu­dents at the Conservatory of Dramatic Arts, have just displayed it. Here’s what they flaunted as the proper thing for up-to-date young men about town. ( A black ski outfit, with red Paisley scarf and green-laced-boots; ginger-length coats; alligator skin shoes with inch-high crepe soles; a purplish prune­ colored dinner jacket with “plunging neckline"— plunging to the middle of the stomach. An equally prone-hued tailcoat, with opera cape of lighter pur­ple sporting an elaborate antique silver chain clasp. .In the time of the Regency in England this would have been dull plumage indeed. Imagine Beau Brum- mel appearing in Bath in such neutral shades. It was only during the Victorian days that men chose to wrap themselves in sartorial feathers no brighter than a sparrow’s.

Both of these mat­erials—the bullrushea and the wild rice—have been used for this pur­pose as long as the coopers can re­member.They use hand tools throughout, except to replace the hoops. As this requires considerable pressure they use a* machine which forces the hoops down around the staves., drawing them tightly together.

Each cooper made every part of the barrel himself and assembled it There was no mass production'in those days. j Asked if a cooper uses any kind of pattern to get the right curve in a stave, Larry replied: ’’When, you’re an apprentice-yes.

What’s a Thumb For? Science has .been making some impressive re­searches into the realm of thumb-sucking. This phenomenon, of course, has persisted for some time —in fact, since people started having babies. .But at the winter clinic of the Academy of Dentistry, it hag achieved a yardstick, so that we can now categorize this lamentable tendency of our young. For the benefit of these pretooth readers, we para­phrase findings of Academy speakers: 1, Thumb­ sucking should be counteracted when the teeth show signs of distortion; 2, If at the age of nine months a child abnormally sucks his thumb, a pediatrician should be called. ‘ For the Associated Order of Thumb-Suckers this might sound a bit defeatist. However, it has a champion who says that thumb*Bucking» if stopped, might cause serious harm and start frustrations. Each of us having watched our own offspring through their various stages, can feel that this offers the basis of a new organization possibly called the Association for the Disappearance of Frustrations. Once formed, this organization could possibly settle a long-standing problem. Our young have arbitrar­ily set up their own schools of preference. Some violently prefer the thumb with the nail downward, while the opposing school just aa violently insists that the nail shall be upward. Again, we have the right-handed versus the southpaw school.All efforta to harmonize these opposing elements have so far been fruitless. If, as cur dentists advise ns, we tell them that 16 out of every 100 children have severe malocclusion due to thumb-sucking, what is their answer? Theyprobably will retort in the words of Dr. Byron Hughes of Michigan that “each profession has been guilty of transmitting a major amount of ignorance under the gulee of know­ledge.” On behalf of—or possibly in spite of— all the science!!, our mothers -will continue to find some home-made solution of their own. The first is to fill the Stomach with food; the second to use a strip erf adhesive, or maybe a few inches of wool from Aunt Lucy's Knitting basket Which, in scientific terms, is what the clinic itself advises.(G Me Md Mail) OF PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICES ACCOUNT COAL SHORTAGE Due to aerioui depletion of coal reserves of the railway because of work etoppagea and shortened working hours in United State* mines, Canadian National announces temporary reduction in certain passenger train services, effective January 9th.

Sure enough it was Alex Amos giving up his evening at home to come and give a hand. Meredith Walker was In there some­ where shovelling a lot more than we'd ever care to pick up in our bare hands. Just as we turned to say something to Lou Martin a long shovel almost us in the proximity of that sirloin. steak we'd wrapped ourselves round and on the end of it was Frank Witty, less his truck, bui still full at go. Then, almost on each other's heels came Lloyd Brown and Rev. Daniel and Dr. M. E. Jarrett—but by that time there really wasn’t any need for further helpers. It was nine o’clock and only a dimesworth of pipes still un­covered. We spotted a few more stalwarts we knew of old in the Parker brothers, Lloyd and Jack, and our pal “Mc- Duffy"—half of the Songhurst-McLeod partnership, and" that's pretfy well where the story ends because they were working hard on the coffee and dough-uts at the cafeteria counter.Oh, is, there was that massive hot water 'boiler that was miraculously pushed, dragged, coaxed and levered from one room into the boiler room via a door that was a good three inches too narrow by Messrs. Martin, Daniel, Jarrett, Bill Clark, Walker and several others we can’t recall. We're still scratching our head figuring how they got it through and left the door there. And that 100 yards of crosned stone that was put down mainly by the col­legiate students. If you don’t think that was some job of work well done ask Albert Kennedy (he supplied it) what sort of a hole in the ground it makes digging It out and then take it from there! Mr. Mrs. Robt.

(Continu'd from page 1) may work with a less advanced group in that subject, while working with his own age group in the other activities of the class. "Most of the other activities of of the class may be engaged in by ail pupils, children of all age groups participating together. The tasks required and the degree of attain­ ment expected will vary with the age, aptitudes and abilities, of the children, more being expected from the older, more experienced and more able pupils. “Such an organization approxim­ates conditions which obtain in the ordmaryv life of children out of school where children within a rel­ atively narrow variation of age nor­mally engage in the same play activi­ ties. This organization will provide a. useful means of providing for in­dividual differences and varying rates of attainment. It will at the same time make possible an en­ riched programme for the more able children while they retain their membership in their own age group .with children of their own degree of social development Junior Diviaion (Grade* IV to VI)“An organization of the Junior Division similar to that proposed for the Primary Division is suggested, where such is feasible, A Class would consist of from 24 to 30 pupils in which approximately one- third of the pupil-j come from each of the age levels 9, 10 and 11. Un­der such an organization the pupils would remain with one teacher for approximately three years. “One great advantage of this organization is that it will mater­ ially lessen the need for remedial programmes in such subjects as reading and arithmetic at a later stage. These programmes are, in effect, an admission thabwork of the earlier grades has been inadequate. Remedial programmes aim to repair damage after breakdown has occur­red; but the attention of the cur­ riculum builder should be given tn preventing any such breakdown, Intermediate DivUion (Grade* VIIto X) '"Hie cumculum for the Inter­ mediate Division will be designed as a unit for pupils of the age r.Rnge to sixteen. It is immaterial whether the courses^irc offered in one build’ ing or s^Vrai, or whether part ,'f the worg is taken in elementary schools and part in High Schools.’ “At the present time there is an arbitrary break between Grades VIH and IX which prevents proper articulation between the elementary and secondary levels. This artificial barrier to proper articulation will be removed with the discontinuance of the Entrance Examination. “About 46% of our pupils leave school by the time they attain tho age of sixteen and for these pupils a well-rounded-out course must bo provided, if only that they may fin­ ish formal schooling with a sense of achievement rather than that of failure.’1 6WGEMBEAD MIX CHOCOLATE CAKE MH COLD CAKE MH SttVEB CAKE MH 15c 29° 50= 28= 31c 31c 31c QUAKER BUFFETS r « BRUNSWICK SADDLES 3 TINS OTEL'O SPOKE LACH JACO 12= 25c 25c 33= tS: 39= IS: 26 u*®' Ten Bo— REHHCT ’O’® S ED S i g s ClMSS P0B&A,“ UBBVS 19= 34= 6 7 2 2 PKGS.

A good program was given by children and Santa Claus madeusual visit.his Cheese Plant Had Operated 67 Years SALfORB—An air of waiting sur­ rounds the sturdy white cement buil­ding perched atop a hill a half-mile south of this Oxford County cross­ roads. The windows are Boarded over and the doors locked and barred but Sal­ford’s cheese factory, closed nearly a year ago, seems unable to believe its closed for good after 67 years of operation during which it ranked as one of the best factories in Western Ontario. The Salford cheese factory has fol­lowed the trend of the times that has seen dozens of small factories throughout Western Ontario closed for the sake of centralization and mass production of cheese, and the diversion of milk to processing of other products.Originally built in 1882 by James Harris, the factory wag later moved from its original site to a location a few yards nearer Highway No. 19 for the convenience of patrons. Ex­cept for that move, the factory has remained outwardly almost unchan­ged since its construction.After the death of Harris in 1891 it was taken over by a company for­med by the farmers of the locality. During those years the factory tur­ned out 300 tons of cheese a year, processed milk from 1,000 cows and employed four men the year-round.The Salford factory was run on a strict policy of just turning out as much good cheese as the capacity would allow. Although cheese from the factory was seldom exhibited, the factory was one of the most progres­sive in the district.It was one of the first in Western Ontario to take up whey separation anj the production of whey butter.The death knell for the factory began to sound about 10 years ago as morojind more of the original far- mer-at6ckholdera died or left tbe dis­trict Finally a mere handful remai­ ned. Inroads on the supply of milk were being made by the evaporator plant at Ingersoll, and finally the factory was sold by the company to John Baskett of Mt Elgin. After Panning it for nearly 10 years Bas- W * sold the factory to the Borden ’Company who closed it last March. The farmers who sold milk to the factory now sell to neighboring fac­tories, to the milk evaporator or dairies. But to Salford, closing of the fac­tory meant loss of the village’s only industry.
