"But it was close,’* said the Inger­soll doctor who rushed to the scene. “Another few minutes and theywould have been finished.”The doctor said Mrs. Watmough had been boiling water in a boiler onthe gas stove, the water boiled overand extinguished tne flames. Soon the poorly-ventilated house was fil­led with fumes.Armes, grasping the situation im­ mediately, threw open the doors,broke several windows and called thedoctor. Mr. Watmough, an employee of the Borden Co., at Ingersoll, was away at work and the three other children of the family were at sch­ool. None would have been home un­til night. "Ray’s arrival meant the dif­ference between life and death forthem,” said his mother, Mrs. Elwood Annes. “Another few minute, andthey would have been gone.” AVALON CHAPTER AIDS THE HOSPITAL A cheque for $500 for the furn­ishing fund of the new Alexandra Hospital, was presented to Mrs. P.M.

Once one of the most stately homes in all Western On­tario, and since 1909 a hospital ministering to the needs ofthousands for miles around, the structure will be tom downupon the opening of the new hospital around the end of May or early in June. Tenders for the razing have been called.For the time being, the cleared area will be used as park­ing area for the new hospital, but it is pointed out that the new hospital is so designed any extension will go toward thecleared area, to the east. The question as to disposal of the old building was raisedby Mrs. James Cole at the annual meeting of the hospital trust HER YOUNG SISTER HAS 90th BIRTHDAY “My younger sister had a birthday Tuesday night. R. G. Start, president, said it had to be torn down. He said the department of health would not approve itsuse for any public health service. Cost of its conversion to anurses' home would be more than it was worth, he explained. James Noxon, one of Ingersoll’s early tycoons, had therambling building constructed in 1874. Costing $10,000 it wasjust IT in the way of homes. When Noxon moved to Toronto, Dr. Angus McKay bought it as a residence. In 1909, the hos­pital trust was organized, and Dr. McKay sold the buildingwith its many rooms and solid cherry staircase, for use as a hospital. His price was $6,000. The new hospital, Mr. Startinformed the trust Tuesday, would cost $560,000—complete.The first-year the hospital had 16 beds and 120 patients. In 1949, Mrs. R. L. Smith, superintendent, reported, 1066patients and 418 out-patients, which, in short, meant that thehospital had its busiest year ever. There were 12,108 days spent by patients in the hospital ... a record. Cost per patientper day was $6.57, only 23 cents higher than in 1948. Mr. Start reported that all the $560,000 had been raised,and Mr- A. R. Horton said when the hospital opened it wouldbe “the very finest building of the most modern constructionwith the best of equipment.” The X-ray equipment would be equal to anything in Canada^ he said, and no longer would itbe necessary to leave Ingersoll for X-ray treatment. The following directors were elected, with only one newmember: Mrs. James Baxter, Mrs. Fred Adams, R. G. Start, R.W. Green, A. R. Hqrton, R. S. Foster, A. E. Izzard, John B. Mitchell, (replacing. W. E. Cragg); T. N. Dunn, C. J. Hines,Mayor Dr. J. G Murray, Dr. George Emery and a county coun­ cil appointee.Mr. Start paid tribute to the work of the Women’s Aux­iliary in raising $26,000 for hospital furnishings.. Mrs. P. M.Dewan, president of the Auxiliary, outlined how the money the other day,” Mrs. Grace Smith, was raised. Mr. Dewan moved a vote of thanks to the directors Herb Baker Takes New Post In London A popular young man, known allover Ingersoll for his friendly smile and Air Force moustache,Herb Baker is leaving. Herb camehere after the end of the war,going into partnership with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Viola Water­house in the insurance agency,“Waterhouse and Baker Insurance.” He will be going to Toronto Satur­day for a month after which hewill be resident inspector of the Halifax Insurance Co., for SouthWestern Ontario.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1950 One Illusions Are Shattered By Ingrid Bergman’s "Idyll’ We think we're broad-minded, and we try to be, but this Bergman business leaves a pretty sour taste in our mouth. It is, in addition, a bitter disillusion. To us, Ingrid Bergman seemed to personify all that was fine in womankind. Kind, simple, dignified, wholesome and seemingly quite unaffected by the kind of life a top-ranking actress in Hollywood must endure. Some people would describe her as whole­ some, and, in short, the type of woman every man would like to marry. No one could have been more ideal to portray the Saint—Joan of Arc. The fact that she apparently was not will come as a great blow to many millions. Rita Hayworth’s carryings-on with the Aly Khan didn’t upset us a bit. But in-Ingrid’s case, both she and her friend were awaiting divorces from spouses playing little or no part in the proceedings. The shocking thing about the whole* affair is that in the eyes of millions Ingrid and her Italian direc­ tor and the new addition will be considered a roman­ tic idyll, and hundreds of thousands will jam the theatres to see the nexKBergman picture—if any. However, if little Susie Doe of Ingersoll, who might have been just as sincere but a bit more ignorant, got into the same situation, she would be discarded and regarded as a no-good tramp. It’s a strange world we live in. No Self-Respecting Groundhog Would Leave His Den Now We didn’t see any groundhogs out on “groundhog day", Feb. 2. After tho winter we've been having no self-respecting, intelligent groundhog would feel it worth the effort. The story goes, of course, if he did come out and saw his shadow, there’d be another six weeks of winter. If he saw no shadow, then he would know that spring was upon u* and he’d stretch his mus­ cles, yjwn and start looking for food. This year, however, the Society for the Preven­ tion of Early Wakening of Tired Groundhogs lear­ ned by the grapevine of the peculiar things going on up above. They decided against coming up, not knowing whether they’d be hit by a snowball or catch their death ’o cold in rain. So they stayed down, huddled in their cozy dens, * and we learn that not one groundhog is expected out until the frost line vanishes and someone person­ ally comes down to tell him it’s okay now, come on out Men of Diepee Should Get39-45 Award For Their Feat The question ha9 recently been raised of the pro­ priety of issuing a medal for men who took part in the Dieppe raid during the last war, men who were there but did not take part in the subsequent D-day landings in Normandy, feeling that they are entitled to some recognition. They are not entitled to the 1939-45 Star, the qualifying period for which was 14 days active service in Europe. Without in any way disparaging the courage and valor of the men at Dieppe, the question immediately is raised, “Why should Dieppe be considered more important than, for instance, the raid in Norway that destroyed the German heavy water supplies?’’ That was just one more of the several gallant raids made during that period'of the war that helped to soften the Hun ret-istanch to a full-scale landing. At Dieppe, it is true, enemy resistance was far greater than in any other. More troops were involved from all arms of the services and countless sagas of individual bravery were enacted—many of which are buried with the brave men who performed them. The histories of the second world war record for all time the glory and heroism of the fighting men who were at Dieppe. No person has ever—will ever— doubt the spirit of the men who leapt ashore that day from barges, striking at the heart of the Ger­ man defenses. They emblazoned their names, and that of their country, into immortality. Veterans themselves will undoubtedly agree on the unfairness of fecognizing one raid and not others. But it is even more unfair to accord no rec- ognition at all. The men of Dieppe deserve some award as much as any one body of men ever did. Surely some dispensation can be made in tho award of the 39-45 Star so that these men can be included. It is their right. H-Bomb Won’t Scare AnyoneWill Just Keep War Pot Boiling Well the world is in a panic once again. The last time it was the atom bomb. Now it’s the hydrogen bomb, and columns and columns of type and head­ line* are telling about this terrible thing that could wipe out mankind, and should we make it, or should we not; should we use it or should we not; should we talk about it or should we not It looks as though we’re going to talk about it, and frankly, we’re not so sure that is the right course. Obviously all the chatter about this new unheard- of weapon, and public discussion of the pros and cons, is aimed at only one thing — scaring the wits out of the Russians and making them think twice about any plans for global aggression that they might have. We don’t thing it will have that effect at all — but it WILL increase Russian suspicion of Western activities and plans, and WILL speed the I - can - build - a - more - dreadful - weapon - than- you - can race to even greater pitch. Telling the world that we have the most powerful of all weapons, and w« ean wipe out anybody at will is Mmpty the old story of the eb(p-M»-the-«hou)<fer again It i* the story of the guy who runs around saying I haw bigger muscle* than you and I can lick every man in town. It scares some, but not most. It to a challenge to the other*. They say he think* he’s good, we ll show him. And away they go to dream up something even mightier and perhaps take a crack at that chip on the shoulder. We thing this world-wide trumpetting of the hyd­ rogen bomb i* a great mistake. If we have this devastating weapon a* a power for peace, let us build it and keep it there — just tn case. Then per­ haps uncork it at the very last minute. But the damage is done and once again the race to exter­ mination is on. MOSSLEY Notes on the Editor's Pad - The Tribune mailing list* show that there ar* Ingersoll folk scattered all over the world. Perhaps one person here, and a couple there, and in some places, like Detroit and Vancouver, whole colonies of people who have left Ingersoll in body, but not in spirit. They take The Tribune because they want to know what is going on here, what to happening to their friends and neighbors and of the surroundings they once knew. They are moat interested in Ing­ ersoll. Well, we feel that Ingersoll and it* neighbors are most interested in them too. What are they do­ ing, where are they going, what has been happen­ ing? We here in Ingersoll are keen to hear from you out there. The Tribune welcome* letters from you. Drop a line. We have heard it said "Oh, The Tribune is no h- - We would like to assure you that on occa­ sions it is — a real one. Like last week, for instance. The language and the heat that developed before The Tribune was off the press would have made that infamous spot a comparative Garden of Eden. The week started off with a bang when our girl Helen got the measles. Then, when Cecil started to run off the first section of the paper it was dis­ covered that there wa8 more electricity in the paper than in Niagara Falls and each sheet clung like glue to the roller. Cecil’s temper and blood pressure got higher and higher as the newspaper output got lower and lower. But finally, with Cecil up to his ears in destroyed papers, that particular section was off. Then, four hours late, it was time to address the finished product. Even in normal times the mailer is an instrument of the devil. When it won’t work, it is that gentleman personified, and this time it just wouldn’t work. So, around midnight, anyone silly enough to be up at that hour could have seen in The Tribune a group of angry people busy with razor blades, scissors and other weapons cutting off those tiny labels and sticking them individually to the papers. Ah well, sighed Alan philosophically, think of how much worse it would have been if we were handling the Toronto Star, (circulation 406,000 daily—advt,). Came the dawn, and the press started rolling again — for a few moments. One of the gadgets that helps the paper over the press broke . . . and ruined three columns of type on the front page. That had to be set all over again. Finally the paper was off and everybody sat back and relaxed. Alan, however, relaxed just a bit too much — and let a • flashbulb for Jimmy Smith’s camera flash in his hand, — and now his hand resembles a well-done pot roast. Incidentally, his control of language at the time was most commendable. In fact, he could not talk at all for a few moments. However, Alan will live to take more pictures of Ingersoll com­ munity life. We’d like to halt this dismal recitation of life on a weekly newspaper for a moment to pay tribute to Walter “Uncle Walt’’ Thurtell who did h’is best with ointment and bandage to make Alan’s miserable life as happy as possible under the circumstances. Not only that, he would accept no remuneration! It’s for tho good of humanity, said Uncle Walt, and an action typical of Uncle Walt’s effort* in and on behalf of the town and its people. We’d like to say that this ended our tale of woe —• but it didn’t. While battering out this little message (suffering the worse case of sniffles to hit the area), a Tribune fuse blew. And there we were — in the dark, no power, no lights, no ambition. We quit. What Others S ay : MIh Gladys Bow.n Th* WMS held their January meet­ ing at the home of Mr*. G.

Start Off Young and Start Off Right Readers of biographic* of successful men real­ize that men of genius, and great talent discover their bent early in life and that they were alreadydefinitely inclined towards their life work whenquite young. Before the days when psychology had attained the position it now occupies, greybeardswould assert that if a young man had not achievedsomething tangible by the time he was 21, he would never amount to anything. They spoke from obser­vation and experience. Now the psychologists haveanalyzed the^situation. For great achievements, says Dr. Harvey C. Leh­man, psychologist of Ohio University, John or Jane must get at it young. In an article in the Journal ofGenetic Psychology, Dr. Lehman relates aboiit onehundred famous people made important discoveries before they reached 21. In music, where genius us­ually displays itself early, these talents have beendiscernable at the average age of six years. Musical debut* of genius averaged about 13 years of age.Twenty-four famous doctors reported that theyfirst became interested in medicine when they were about 14.Specific instance* include, Michael Farady build­ ing electrical machines at 14; Jane Austen writingPride: and Prejudice at 20; Henry Ford working ina jewelry shop when a small boy; Samuel Colt, car­ ving a wood revolver at 16; Marconi transmittingsignals over a one-mile span without wires before he was 21; Galileo wheri 17, discovering from the swing­ing lamp the principles of the pendulum, and manyothers. These, of course, were people of genius,which is different from talent. Talent ia being able to do something better than other people; genius isbeing able to do something which other people have not so far done.It .would seem to be a corollary of the make-a-start-early philosophy that the environment shouldbe suitable, that the surroundings of the child should be stimulating to the thoughts, trends, and paths ofthe child’* mind? Either the parents or guardiansrecognize the hidden talent and help it, or as hap­ pens sometimes, the star of genius shines so brightlythat not even the opposition of parent* or guardianscan prevent it. Many geniuses like Edison, had tobattle against parental opposition, and succeeded at last despite it, and in the face of great odds.Discovering a child’s latent talent early in lifeis of the utmost importance. It saves time and en­ ergy. While genius may make iteelf apparent inchildhood, talent may not be easy to spy out. Butinclination is usually discernable and this is a help to the parent, guardian or teacher. If inclination bestrong, and the child’s interest steadfastly held byit, it is generally better to go along with it. For this is the natural tide and stream of that particularmind, and in these days of expanding knowledgeand fields of endeavor there are many avenue* in which every talent can bo wisely and profitablyemployed.(London Free Preu) Soil Conservation Begins On Farm Soil conservation, like charity, ismuch more effective when it begin* at h-.mu*. Moat farm operator* canfind signa for th* need of soil con­servation practice* by periodically making * careful survey of theirown farm. Every year a Httle bit of somebody’s valuable top soil eitherblows away or is washed away. Withit goes not only much of the naturalsoil fertility, but the value of the farm is also lowered and eventuallythe farm family’s standard of livingdecline*. Soil conservation doesn’t mean that I a farmer should do something fornothing. The practice of soil conser­ vation ra simply a sound businessproposition, paying good returnsover a long-term period. It ia only good busines* to protect an invest­ment and that i* what every farmerdo«s when he takes steps to preventsoil wastage on his own farm. No farmer will willingly *ee manytons of soil per acre washed off his fields if hefknows he can correct thisby planting on a well planned con­tour system. Test* have shown that plot* planted to grass or legumes, orother crops cultivated on the contour,lose little or no soil. A farmer's ex­ perience teach him that some soils,and some fields should never be leftwithout some kind of cover; in fact he may find that in the long run it isbetter farm practice to put some ofthese soils under grass for the pro­duction of seed or livestock. There is no official "must” aboutpreventing soil wastage on a man’s own farm, but if the operator hopesto stay and make a living there, thetop soil must remain there too. Soilerosion is nothing new. Whether due to wind, rain, or over-grazing, it hasplayed a vital part in the rise and fallof nations throughout recorded his­ tory. The story—and the lesson—isthere for those in Canada who wish to learn. Gone are the days when afarmer could plough up, wear out andmove on to greener pastures. Todaythe wise farmer knows if he takescare of his soil, the soil in turn willlook after him.

Three-quarters of thecost was absorbed by the OntarioGovernment and the remainder wasput up by the industries bordering on the river bed. By .November mostof the work on the <8000,000 projecthad been completed and the Cham­ ber of Commerce staged a largebanquet on December 1 to mark thefulfillment of their long-sought aim. The widening project runs for fivemiles through the town of Ingersolland while it has fundamentally been finished there will be a fewfinishing touches that must be added in the spring.By the end of October, 1949, 38*building permits had been issued for the building of private homes.There were another 46 which hadbeen partially assessed in 1948 and 34 more which had not been nearenough completion for any assess­ment before the close of the year. This made a total of 118 homes tobe dealt with during 1949.The population of Ingersoll has moved steadily from 5,000 in 1943to 6,428 in 1949. The present fig­ ure is 194 above that of last year.There is a large percentage ofthese people who own their ownhomes. In 1948, 58.8 per cent of thepeople in Ingersoll were home own­ ers. This figure was raised to 59.9per cent during 1949. A new theatrebuilding was built and a lumber company and a cheese company in­creased the size of their plants byadditional buildings. Laid Out $30,000 The new sewage disposal plantand new sewer mains installed dur­ ing the past year were estimated at$859,000 with an additional $-H 1,000 for the replacement of pavementswhich had to be ripped up and re­placed in the installation of the sewer mains. An entirely new dis­posal plant was built and approx­ imately 12.3 miles of trunk sewerwere laid.A five-room addition was made tothe Princess Elizabeth, public school a cost of near $105,000. The school,set on a six acre site, has undergoneother extensive face lifting duringthe last year. The grounds were im­proved, part of them fenced, and the ball diamond was floodlighted. Be­sides this a great deal of new equip­ment was added.Residents of Ingersoll this lastyear laid out $30,000 to provideartificial ice for the Ingersoll Arena and Community Centre. The moneywas raised by public mortgageshares of $100 each. The commit­tee in charge of the arena intendsto repay the mor tagages within 10 years, paying off so many sharehold­ers each year. The shareholders ztobe paid in any particular year will be chosen by lot. Almost half thethe money raised came from resi­dents in the district surrounding the town itself.The new hospital which nearedcompletion as the year drew to a close is the result of many yearshard work by several of Ingersoll’sleading citizens. The estimated cost of the new building is $550,000 in­cluding furnishings and equipment. Jayceei Formed The Ingersoll Junior Chamber ofCommerce was organized in May, 1949, and at the year-end had 59members. Two of the men largelyresponsible for the organization get­ ting under way were Herbert Bakerand John- Love, both of whom wereactive in Junior Chambers before coming to Ingersoll. Mr. Baker waspresident of the London Junior■Chamber of Commerce in 1947 andMr. Love had been one of the dir­ectors of the Hamilton Jaycees.The senior organization was alsobehind the younger group andhelped them to get on their feet. The junior organization got underway'with H. W. “Buzz” Fick as pre­sident and one of their mo^jftout- standing activities during the yearwas the "get out and vote” cam­paign which brought 79.8 per centof Ingersoll’s voters to the polls. IThis was the largest vote on recordin the town. Another record wasset later in the year when the Jay­cees brought the first Santa Claus parade to Ingersoll. The parade wasorganized by the Jaycees and finan­ced by the merchants. The Junior Chamber is now work­ing on an industrial survey of Ing­ersoll and preparing a report which will form a basis for town planning.The committee is working in closeco-operation with Dr. E. G. Plevaof the University of Western On- “Y” Very A. lire Many of the vuiial and r* rea .him activities m Ingt i “d revolvearound the Y.M * A and during1949, programs were pepped Up andorganized at never before. Junioramt senior sections of teen-townwere begun. Se-Ld came into beingthe first full season of swimming instruction in a new pool went into effect, and sigishine clauses were started for pre-kindergarten age children.The senior group of the teen­ town got underway in October with 87 showing up at the first meeting. The second meeting was held at Galt, and 60 young folks from Ing- gersoll attended. The senior teen­town plans to hold every second meeting at some outside point and the other meetings at Ingersoll. Inthis way they will have a chance to see what other groups are doing andbe able to get to know youngpeople in the surrounding district better. They hold meetings the sec­ond and fourth Fridays of everymonth. Their meetings are held on Fridays because many of the mem­bers cannot attend the meetings ifthey are held on Saturday as the youngsters help out as clerks intheir fathers' store which are closedFriday nights. They hold their meetings at theY.M.C.A., and have dancing, tabletennis and any number of activities. Charlotte Garr is president of theclub, and Dave Campbell, chairmanof Y’s Men’s Club Youth Program Committee, is their leader. Theyoung people in this group are be­tween the a^es of 15 and 19. Two Toon Croups The junior leaguers of the teen­town club organized about the same time as their older counterpartsand range in age from about 12 to14. They meet on the first and thirdFridays of every month, so as not toconict with the meeting nights of the older group. The younger groupdiffers from the senior division inthat they have two complete slates of officers. They have a girls’ execu­tive, headed by “Jackie” Carr anda boys’ executive headed by TomMcKee. Ross Hurst, chairman of theprogram committee of the Y’s Men’sClub, is their leader. These two executives meet separ­ately to plan programs of interestto either of the two groups alone, or they might get together and planrecreation which holds a commoninterest for both groups. When they meet to produce a program forboth the girls and the boys, thecommittees are made up of an equal number of each, so they mighthaveaa balanced share in the activ-ties and money expenditures of the club.The program of the junior teen-towners was launched with a “pot luck” supper and 95 boys and girlsattended. This was followed bygame nights and dancing lessons. The senior teen-town members help­ed with the dancing instruction andwere aided by members of the Y’s Men’s Club'and the Young BusinessGirls’ Club. Contribute Records The teen-towners have their ownrecord player and each of the junior and senior section contribute recordsto the common stock which theyboth use. The records and player are kept at the Y.M.C.A,. and areavailable to any group using Y.M.C.A. facilities. Both juniors and seniors havetoboggan parties, sleigh rides~and dances planned for the rest of theseason.So-Ed was first organized in Ing­ersoll last spring under the drivingforce of Lloyd Clifton, who hadbeen active in London So-Ed pro­ grams before he moved to Ingersoll.The group had two sessions of six weeks each. The spring session con­sisted of ballroom dancing lessoqs,bridge, golf, table tennis and a so­cial program of dancing and games.The fall program consisted ofsquare dance instruction, public speaking, and lessons in elementaryand advanced bridge.These So-Ed activities held in the St. James’ Anglican Church gymna­sium, which the Y.M.C.A, leases from the church. Plans for thespring program include archery,golf and first aid. The younger members of the Ing­ersoll citizenry were treated to theirfirst full season of swimming lessonsin the'finest swimming pool, in thearea during the summer of 1949.This, pool was built by E. A. Wil­ son, and before Mr. Wilson builtthe pool he travelled extensively in­specting various swimming pools. He combined the best features ofall the pools he saw and went towork on the Ingersoll pool.There were 40 youngsters underY.M.C.A. swimming instruction in the old pool. The day the new poolopened 125 showed up. The in­struction ran from 9 to 12 everymorning and was free of charge.This project was sponsored by theKiwanis and operated by* the Y.M.C.A, staff, under the supervis­ion of Hamilton . “Ham” Gosse,general secretary for the Y.M.C.A.in Ingersoll. During the 1949 seasonmore than two hundred boys and girls between the ages of six and14 were taught to swim. Y.M.C.A.swimming standards and tests wereused and certificates were given for proficiency.The “sun-shine” classes are heldtwo mornings a week and are opento children of about four years old.These classes are aimed at givingthe tots some training in classroombehaviour before they enter kinder­garten. The Y.M.C.A. also sponsorsthese classes in which there are about 20 children enrolled.The Y.M.C.A. has done a greatdeal in Ingersoll during the pastyear, and Mr, Gosse says that anextensive program is planned for 1950 in which he hopes to includemany activities not covered in lastyear’s schedule. Cornerstone Is Laid March 16, 1949, marked a great step in the progress of Ingersoll. SINCE ARTIFICIAL ICE was installed at the Inger- I soil Community Centce in December, the rink hasbeen busier than a bee-liive with the town’s youngstersgoing all out for figur^ skating and hockey. In this , photo, Larry “Smoky” Harris, community centre,manager, and a former star hockey player, shows I The cornerstone was laid for theNew Alexandra Hospital. The cost of this building is in the neighbor­hood of $560,000. Actual construct­ion began two years ago. It hadbeen in the idea stage since before the war, but a shortage of laborand materials prevented the citizensfrom going ahead with the project. The project was financed by «grant of $150,000 from the Townof Ingersoll, and assured grantsfrom the Provincial and Dominiongovernments of $100,000 each. TheOxford County Council contributed$55,000. Public subscriptions ac­ counted for another $90,000 includ­ing $26,000 raised by the Women’sAuxiliary to the Hospital Trust and $14,000 raised by the IngersollLions Club.The Institution is expected to I open early in the summer and is of concrete construction, faced withbuff brick. The hospital provides 60 beds, incontrast to the old hospital whichiopened about 46 years ago and provided accommodation for onlv32 patients. These 60 beds will pro­vide 15 cubicles for basinettes, 12 private rooms, 12 wards with twobeds each and six wards with twobeds each. Staff of 30 In addition to the wards there are modern laundry and kitchen facili­ ties, a cooling room, the operatingrooms, an obstetrical room and ad­ministration offices.

(Reprinted from the TorontoTelegram, Jan. 6, J960)Outdoor writers along the Atlantic coast report the Gulf Stream hasshifted its course and is now eightmiles closer inshore. That vagary of nature is causing milder weather inNew Jersey and Delaware, but it’s atrifle alongside what happened in Tor­onto. The heat and furore caused by the Sunday Sports issue has delayedthe winter by two months, in fact itstopped the cold wave several times in mid-prairie. The farmers are thank­ful to their urban colleagues forweather blocking, because snow re­moval costa will be way down this season. They were down last wintertoo, but alas, the farmer can neverget a free meal. There is always something to up­set his cup of joy, and that item isfox bounties. Poor snow conditions interfere with trapping, so many ofthe trapp«rs switched their efforts tofox hunting, because there was a $3bounty for each varmit brought in. Perhaps the farmers found loggingon bare ground a bit wearying, be­cause they too, took after the foxes and, of course, the city Joes, on afive-day week, hunted every Satur­day. The result was that in 1949, Peterboro county paid more in wolfand fox bounties than it paid forsnow plowing. Northumberland and Durham counties paid plenty too, andthe bounty bill up in Victoria countyaround Lindsay was a hefty one. All these counties are still payingbounties, but now Nature is taking a hand, and some disease is killing offthe Reynards. Several carcasses havebeen found in the fields and woods of Eastern Ontario, and officials bet­ter keep a sharp watch or they willbe paying bounties on animals that died from natural causes. The Dept,of Lands and Forests is trying tocollect some of the carcasses to deter­ mine what disease is reducing thefox population, but with little success that section had the idea fox peltswere being bootlegged in from neigh­boring counties last spring, because at that time Northumberland was$6, while Peterboro paid only $3, sothey amended the law, making thebounties payable only for green pelts. In Peterboro county the taxpayers really took a beating. Mrs. Jennie multiplied rapidly during the waryears and immediately after, and poultry farmers started a furore be­cause of losses. Cyril Scott, whofarms up near Stony Lake, lost 200 pullets in a month, and that’s notfunny. However, it looks now, as ifthe animals must be just about undercontrol, and if they are not, perhaps1 this disease will complete the job.Sportsmen share the farmer’s hateof the crafty, cunning fox, because Probably an intensive crusade to re­ duce foxes by trapping and hunting,when they are numerous, and an un­biased view during the lean years, recognizing the fox as a componentpart of our wildlife mosaic, would bethe most sensible attitude. o ' — ..-----0I tne craity, cunning rox, bees use?r^lL d >l ^”Ind V o f f ^tiS U ,n ap ’ Up the Odd rabb ,t or juicy I phea,u,nt- The farmer’“ an8er mayTW60 mitigated by his knowledge thatthc eata « la^ I“»nber ot 8011,11 £££vr.rP^?roden2?' .and ,.tb® ’^^man’s ang--ing in Peterboro that same year was only $3,746, then the bounty bag lookslop-sided. By the way, 1,949 foxesand 23 wolves bit the dust. The wolf bounty is $25. Total the entire killand Its lists 3,971 foxes and 99 wol­ves. Each fox pelt was worth 50 to76 cents, and the wolf pelt from 75 cents to $2. There is nothing new about fox bounties, and Ontario pays about$50,000 a year in wolf bounties, butthe latest fad for putting a price on PICTURE OF YEAR TO BE PICKED Final plans for the first annualsalon at The Tribune Feb. 18 and 19 were made by the Ingersoll Com­munity Camera Club, President BillDouglas presiding. Harold Crellin read the secretary's report, and, inthe absence of Harry Sivyer throughillness, he also conducted the next chapter on the photo course.The salon will be open to thepublic from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. There will be a great display of photo­graphs and the public will be askedto ballot and pick their ‘‘picture ofthe year." Plans were also made forthe social th.- Thursday previous,when Dr. W. W.

When foxes are comparativelyscarce they attract little attention, or censure, but when they are numeroustheir depredations increase too, andthey receive a great deal of unfavor­ able notoriety. Then somebody hollers "something should be done" and the county councils are the Joe boys. It pays to buy at Wilson’s Hardware OBITUARY MRS. EARL BROWN The death occurred Feb. 2, ofMrs. Earl Brown, (Mabel), 210Hall St., Ingersoll, wife of the late Earl Brown. She was 63 years ofage and had been in failing healthfor some time. She was born in North Oxford, the daughter of Mrs.William Hutchison and the late Mr.Hutchison, and was predeceased by her husband in 1936.Surviving are a son, Erwin, Ban­ner; her mother, Mrs. William Hut­ chison; two sisters, Mrs. Stan El­liott, (Florence) and Mrs. WilliamShier, (Nellie), Michigan; and twograndchildren.She was a member of the Presby­terian Church, a member of Admir­al MqDougall Chapter, I.O.D.E., and a charter member and past matronof the Order of the Eastern Star. The funeral was held Feb. 4 fromthe late residence, with Rev. GeorgeW. Murdoch officiating. Intermentwas in Ingersoll Rural Cemetery.Pallbearers were Calvin Sutherland,Ben Leslie, Roy Newman, George Bruce, James Dundas and GeorgeClendinning. Floral bearers ■, wereDune Black, Cliff Mayo, Fred and Charlie Hutcheson. Wallace Brown,S. J. Dundas and Bill Baigent.Mrs. Bob Wark and Mrs. Allister Murray sang, accompanied by Mrs.L. Hunt. In Victoria county last year, S. L.Weldon, county clerk, reports the county paid $6,112 in fox bountiesand $1,146 for wolves. That is $6,257.The fee for foxe8 is $3 and for wol­ ves $30, and of the latter sum, theOntario government reimburses thecounty $10 on each wolf. It is still a pile of coin to pay for ridding the dis­trict of varmits. Added to this is thefact that some townships in Victoria pay an additional $26 to every hun­ter who kills a wolf in these parti­cular townships. Thus a wolf could be worth $55, plus the 75c a goodpelt would bring. That’s a good week’spay to an ambitious farmer or trap, per. Down in Cobourg, W. E. Barr, county clerk, reports the outlay lastyear was $2,977 for foxes and $1,900for wolves. The bounty on wolves in Northumberland-Dereham is $60, andfor foxes it is $3, and their assess­ment in the realm of pest removing totalled $4,877. It means too, thatroughly 1,000 foxes were killed inthe two counties along the lakeshore, which will make the bile rise in somefruit farmers, because foxes keep down the rabbit population, and rab- Gayfer’s Rexall Drug Store Perfume—$18.50, 12.50, 7.50, 3.50 Esu de Toilette— 3.96, 2.60 Sachet Powder—f.75 Bath Softener—. w 2.50Talcum Powder—1?00 Dusting Powder—2.00, King Newell, Phm.B., Prop.

Three-quarters of the cost .was absorbed by the OntarioGovernment and the remainder wasput up by the industries bordering on the river bed. By November mostof the work on the >8000,000 projecthad been completed and the Cham­ber of Commerce staged a largebanquet on December 1 to mark thefulfillment of their long-sought* aim. The widening project runs for fivemiles through the town of Ingersolland while it has fundamentally been finished there will be a fewfinishing touches that must be added in the spring.By the end of October, 1949, 38building permits had been issued for the building of private homes.There were another 46 which hadbeen partially assessed in 1948 and 34 more which had not been nearenough completion for any assess­ment before the close of the year. This made a total of 118 homes tobe dealt with during 1949.The population of Ingersoll has moved steadily from 5,000 in 1943to 6,428 in 1949. The present fig­ ure is 194 above that of last year.There is a large percentage of these people who own their ownhomes. In 1948, 58.8 per cent of thepeople in Ingersoll were home own­ ers. This figure was raised to 59.9per cent during 1949. A new theatrebuilding was built and a lumber company and a cheese company in­creased the size of their plants by additional buildings. Laid Out $30,000 The new sewage disposal plant and new sewer mains installed dur­ing the past year were estimated at$859,000 with an additional $111,000for the replacement of pavementswhich had to be ripped up and re­ placed in the installation of thesewer mains. An entirely new dis­posal plant was built and approx­ imately 12.3 miles of trunk sewerwere laid. A five-room addition was made tothe Princess Elizabeth, public schoola cost of near $105,000. The school,set on a six acre site, has undergoneother extensive face lifting duringthe last year. The grounds were im­ proved, part of them fenced, and theball diamond was floodlighted. Be­sides this a great deal of new equip­ ment was added.Residents • of Ingersoll this lastyear laid out $30,000 to provide artificial ice for the Ingersoll Arenaand Community Centre. The moneywas raised by public mortgage shares of $100 each. The commit­tee in charge of the arena intends to repay the mortagages within 10years, paying off so many sharehold­ers each year. The shareholders to be paid in any particular year willbe chosen by lot. Almost half thethe money raised came from resi­ dents in the district surroundingthe town itself.The new hospital which neared completion ds the year drew to aclose is the result of many yearshard work by several of Ingersoll’s leading citizens. The estimated costof the new building" is $550,000 in­cluding furnishings and equipment. Jaycees Formed The Ingersoll Junior Chamber of Commerce was organized in May,1949, and at the year-end had 59members. Two of the men largelyresponsible for the organization get­ting under way were Herbert Baker and John Love, both of whom wereactive in Junior Chambers beforecoming to Ingersoll. Mr. Baker was .president of the London JuniorChamber of Commerce in 1947 andMr. Love had been one -ef the dir­ ectors of the Hamilton Jaycees.The senior organization was alsobehind the younger group andhelped them to get on their feet.The junior organization got under way with H. W. ‘’Buzz" Fick as pre­sident and one of their most out­standing activities during the year was the “get out and vote” cam­paign which brought 79.8 per centof Ingersoll’s voters to the polls. This was the largest vote on recordin the town. Another record was set later in the year when the Jay­cees brought the first Santa Clausparade to Ingersoll. The parade wasorganized by the Jaycees and finan­ ced by the merchant.The Junior Chamber is now work­ ing on an industrial survey of Ing­ersoll and preparing a report whichwill form a basis for town planning. The committee is working in closeco-operation with Dr. E. G. Plevaof the University of Western On- "Y” Vary Active Many of the social and recrea­tional activities in Ingersoll revolve around the Y.M.C.A. and during1M49, programs were pepped up andorganized as never before. Junior and senior sections of teen-townwere begun. So-hd came into beingthe first full season of swimming instruction in a new pool went into effect, and sunshine classes were started for pre-kindergarten agechildren.The senior group of the teen­ town got underway in October with 87 showing up at the first meeting. The second meeting was held atGalt, and 60 young folks from Ing-gersoll attended. The senior teen­ town plans to hold every second meeting at some outside point and the other meetings at Ingersoll. Inthis wsy they will have a chance to see what other groups are doing andbe able to get to know youngpeople in the surrounding district better. They hold meetings the sec­ond and fourth Fridays of everymonth. Their meetings are held on Fridays because many of the mem­bers cannot attend the meetings ifthey are held on Saturday as the youngsters help out as clerks intheir fathers' store which are closedFriday nights. They hold their meetings at theY.M.C.A., and have dancing, tabletennis and any number of activities.Charlotte Carr is president of the club, and Dave Campbell, chairmanof Y’s Men’s Club Youth ProgramCommittee, is their leader. The young people in this group are be­tween the ages of 15 and 19. Two Toon Group* The junior leaguers of the teen­town club organized about the sametime as their older counterpartsand range in age from about 12 to14. They meet on the first and thirdFridays of every month, so as not toconict with the meeting nights of the older group. The younger groupdiffers from the senior division inthat they have two complete slates of officers. They have a girls’ execu­tive, headed by “Jackie” Carr anda boys’ executive headed by Tom McKee. Ross Hunt, chairman of theprogram committee of the Y’s Men’sClub, is their leader. These two executives meet separ­ately to plan programs of interestto either of the two groups alone, or they might get together and planrecreation which holds a commoninterest for both groups. When they meet to produce a program forboth the girls and the boys, thecommittees are made up of anequal number of each, so they mighthave*a balanced share in the activ- ties and money expenditures of theclub.The,-program of the junior teen- towners was launched with a “potluck” supper and 95 boys and girlsattended. This was followed bygame nights and dancing lessons.The senior teen-town members help­ed with the dancing instruction and were aided by members of the Y’sMen’s Club and the Young BusinessGirls’ Club. Contribute Records The teen-towners have their own record player and each of the juniorand senior section contribute recordsto the common stock which they both use. The records and playerare kept at the Y.M.C.A. and areavailable to any group using Y.M.C.A. facilities. SINCE ARTIFICIAL ICE was installed at the Inger­ soll Community Centre in December, the rink has been busier than a bee-hive with the town’s youngstersgoing all out for figure skating and hockey.

The cornerstone was laid for theNew Alexandra .Hospital, The costof this building is in the neighbor­ hood of $560,000. Actual construct­ion began two years ago. It hadbeen in the idea stage since before the war, but a shortage of laborand materials prevented the citizensfrom going ahead with the project.The project was financed by a grant of $150,000 from the Townof Ingersoll, and assured grantsfrom the Provincial and Dominion governments of $100,000 each. TheOxford County Council contributed$55,000. Public subscriptions ac­ counted for another $90,000 includ­ing $26,000 raised by the Women’sAuxiliary to the Hospital Trust and$14,000 raised by the IngersollLions Club.The Institution is expected to open early in the summer and is of concrete construction, faced withbuff brick. The hospital provides 60 beds, in contrast to the old hospital whichopened about 40 years ago and provided accommodation for only32 patients. These 60 beds will pro­vide 15 cubicles for basinettes, 12private rooms, 12 wards with two beds each and six wards with twobeds each. Staff of 30 In addition to the wards there are modem laundry and kitchen facili­ties, a cooling room, the operating rooms, an obstetrical room and ad­ministration offices. There are also sun rooms on the south wall of eachfloor. The building is partiallv ofI three-storey and partially of four-I storey construction with provisionsi for additions to the portion.The building will be heated byI combined high pressure steam and I the water which circulates throughi the radiators of the building. It isequipped with an automatic ele­ vator.The staff of the new hospital willconsist of about 30 persons, includ­ ing both trained nurses and nurses'aides, under the supervision of Mrs. R. L. Smith.

So-Ed was first organized in Ing­ersoll last spring under the drivingforce of Lloyd Clifton, who had been active in London So-Ed pro­grams before he moved to Ingersoll. The group had two sessions of- sixweeks each. The spring session con­sisted of ballroom dancing lessons, bridge, golf, table tennis and a so­cial program of dancing and games.The fall program consisted of square dance instruction, publicspeaking, and lessons in elementary and advanced bridge.These So-Ed activities held in theSt. James’ Anglican Church gymna­ sium, which the Y.M.C.A, leasesfrom the church. Plans for" thespring program include archery, golf and first aid.The vounger members of the Ing­ersoll citizenry were treated to their first full season of swimming lessonsin the finest swimming pool, in <lhearea during the summer of 1949.This pool was built by E. A. Wil­son, and before Mr. Wilson built the pool he travelled extensively in­specting various swimming pools.He combined the best features of all the pools he saw and went towork on the Ingersoll pool, There were 40 youngsters underY.M.C.A. swimming instruction inthe old pool. The day the new pool opened 125 showed up. The in­struction ran from 9 to 12 everymorning and was free of charge. This project was sponsored by theKiwanis and operated by theY.M.C.A. staff, under the supervis­ ion of Hamilton “Ham” Gosse,general secretary for the Y.M.C.A.in Ingersoll. During the 1949 season more, than two hundred boys andgirls between the ages of six and14 were taught to swim. Y.M.C.A.swimming standards and tests were used and certificates were givenfor proficiency. The “sun-shine” classes are heldtwo mornings a week and.are opento children of about four years old.

Children by the million in the world today are hungry, cold and ragged—without homes, without affection — growing up with warped and embittered minds. Yet they will help shape the world of tomorrow—the world of our children. What sort of world is that going to be if they are not helped—if their hunger and their bitterness are not relieved? The United Nations organization (through UNICEF—the, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) is doing its best to meet the need—to provide millions of children with minimum essential nourishment and protect them against disease. 27 countries are working together in one of the greatest, worthiest international efforts ever undertaken. They are helping devastated lands to help themselves in getting aid to their children. Canadians are counted upon to do their part. Canada's objective is $3,000,000 by February 28th.

TRYTHIS The old waltz tune ls beginning torun around again a8 February flit*along and already we’ve caught our­selves on two different occasions sneaking glance* at the OBA rulevolume. It sort of broke out on usMonday night when we took oursel- meeting in the YMCA. We’d like tonay it was bolely because they were going to show the official pictures of ■the '49 World Series, but it was alsothe thought of the very excellent dinner the ladies always serve up—and we weren’t disappointed—andthe very real spirit of friendlinessthat pervades that bunch of men who have done more for organizedsport in Ingersoll than anyone else. Highlight of the movies as far aswe were concerned was the full-dis­tance clout that Joltin' Joe blastedout in that fifth and final game. Ithad no real effect on the final scorethe Yanks were too far m front any­way but it meant something special to the Yankee Bomber. The film sho­wed it hitting the left field stands with a little more than a foot tospare from the foul line.It was some hit. Intercity Men The Oxford DarrJ: boys won fivegames from the Landon Richmondboys in London Saturday, when theDairy boyg got back on the beam toroll 5993, which is near the 240 ave­ rage mark for each player. A. War­ham was best with a five game totalof 1388; C. Todd 1321; W. Chamber- lain 1235 and L. Coles with 313 single.Richmonds rolled 5237 as Black got1266; R. Kilbourne 1165.In the match at Bradfield lanesbetween Brads Lads and Hillbillies, the latter rolled 5407 to win threegames and total score for 4 points.The Brads Lads rolled 5394 to win two games and two points. For theHillbillies J. Kish had 1268; W. Hill The Juvenile baseball team who turned in that brilliant season ofplay last year will most likely bechurning out the hits again this year. A team like that one deserves encour­agement and we're pretty sure theY’s men won’t let them down. Only two of last year’s players, Bob Green­away and husky Don Kerr, will be in­eligible for Juvenile tilts. Orly Ham­ ilton, Leo Connor, Bob Johnson, BillKerr, Roy Land, all the rest, willstill be there. « Which, of course, brings us tosoftball, the game that provided somany double-headers over at the school diamond last summer. EarlThornton and the softball executivehaven’t got down to anything yet and aren’t likely to for a couple ofmonths or so. Only thing Earl knowsis that the league will be going again this year under the lights. Most ofthe teams will be in again, but there’sa whisper that Dicksons might beplaying rural this season. The Ingersoll National Alleyettestook two out of three games also highteam total rolling 2984 to collect 5points while Galt ‘A’ ladies rolled2736 for two points. This puts the Alleyettes in quite a comfortable posi­tion at the top of the league. They areenjoying their weekly games and judging by the large turnout of spec­tators at their home games, they ap­pear to have qbite a Large backing of interested fans. For the AlleyettesE. Phillips was best rolling 690; J.Maries 634; R. Goulding 590; JerryWinders 562 and I. Hutson with 508.For the Galt ‘A’ team J. Levitt rolled a nice three game total of 671; I. Ded­man 592; H.

Dr. W. Doan, the founder, is pictured left, at his telephone, which half a century ago linked him with 19 others on a party line.

Slump­ ed at his desk in his library, thedoctor reflected wearily that liveswere being lost because ordinaryccoommmmuunniiccaattiioonnss were not fastenough.The answer, the young doctor de­ cided, was a local telephone system.He took his idea to prominent citi­zens of the community. They en­ dorsed the plan with enthusiasm.A few months later, the Har-rietaville Telephone Association was born, its primary aim to helpsave lives.Today, fifty years later, Dr. Doan, still practising medicine hereand still president and general man­ager of the telephone system, is get­ ting his reports ready for the finalannual meeting of the HarrietsvilleTelephone Association. The system has been sold to the Ingersoll Tele­phone Company. Ida. Spread Sitting in his consulting room, Dr.Doan, now a heavy-set, white-hairedman in his early eighties, told how his idea was adopted by other coun­try doctors, and how the system hefounded to fill a medical need had mushroomed into a thriving busi­ness.“It's surprising how many otherlocal telephone systems were organ­ized by doctors for exactly the samereason I organized the Harriets­ville system,” he said. “In the old days, without the telephone, it wasimpossible to give the same kind of medical service.”Outside the fulfillment of itsfounder’s purpose, the Harrietsville PAY $23,000,000.00 IN 1949 CLAIMS The Manufacturers Life report business in force of $1,185,000,000New business in 1949 was consider­ ably greater than that of 1948, be­fore taking into the accounts deval­uation of sterling business during the year.Payments made to policy holderstotalled $23 million and were dis­tributed in death claims, maturedendowments, annuity payments andother policy benefits, including $2% million in dividents to policyholders.

But when we gathered in TorontoJanuary 10th to attend a farewellluncheon at the Royal York Hotel these things were all behind us.Before the luncheon we were inter­viewed and photographed by thepress, then whisked off to radiostations for interviews and finallyto the bank to draw expense money. At the luncheon we were ad­dressed by Col. Tom Kennedy, On­tario minister of agriculture; C. D. Graham, Ontario deputy minister ofagriculture; Louis G. N. M.

Our overseas trip had begun. Because of the excitement of get­ting underway we didn’t sleep too well on the train but neverthelesswe felt fine when we reached NewYork the next morning. The weather was clear and bright, we were metat the station by Eyre Branch, Stan­dard Oil Company (New Jersey) our host for the day. My first impression of New York was that it had changed a lot sinceI saw it last many years ago. Allthe street cars have gone and only one elevated railway remains. TheNew Yorkers get around by taxis,buses and underground railways, something the people in Toronto willsoon be doing. 4,000 • Minute! During the tour of the city we spentmore than an hour in the observation' tower of the Empire Stale Building,the tallest building in the world, and Jbecause of the perfect visibility we i could see for more than 15 miles in: first day oat of New York and it isFriday, January the 13th. Al] sup­erstitious notions to the contrary. and seasickness hasn't yet takenhold of any of us. By us, I mean Jim Eccles of Brampton and Ron Mar­quis of Sunderland, the 1949 Can­adian champion plowmen, and my­ self. We are on our way overseasto take part in plowing matches inGreat Britain and to see how thingsare don on " ’’ •• * ** Atlantic. This is the fourth year that* the gold medal winners in Trans-At­lantic horse and tractor classes atthe International Plowing Matchhave been awarded all-expense paidtrips to the United Kingdom. But in many ways this year’s trip isdifferent from the others. For one thing Imperial Oil is the only company sponsoring the trip.In the past Imperial divided thehonors and costa with another firm. Then this year because of exchangedifficulties and restricted budgetsonly the winners in the two classesare going overseas whereas in the past the runners-up were included:and instead of spending all of thetime in the United Kingdom thechampion plowmen this year willshorten their stay in the U.K. sothat they can visit West Germany. Holland and Denmark. This changein itinerary was made at oup-re­quest and we are paying the extra cost’s involved in visiting the con­tinent Another change is that wewill fly back to Canada instead of returning by boat every direction. We really saw NewYork spread out beneath ua. We had lunch and saw the ice show at theCentre Theatre, followed by a tele­vision and studio tour at N.B.C. At night while the boys decided tomake their own tour of the big cityI went out to see my brother, wholives about 35 miles from New York.I returned in the morning during rush hours and that proved to be an ex­perience!New York has a population of about 8,000,000 and another 2,000,000 peoplefrom within a radius of 50 milesfind dally employment there. As a result I saw commuter trains pour­ing 4,000 people into Grand CentralStation every minute. I stood for about 10 minutes and watched thecrowds fan out from the station andI’ve never seen such orderly confu­ sion. And so after more hurrying a-round, checking out of our hotelrooms and attending to the inevitable last minute details we made for NewYork harbor to go aboard the QueenMary. The Queen Mary is said to be thelargest ship afloat (No—Queen Elisa­ beth—Ed.) and I can well believe it.Imagine a ship 75 rods long or about11250 feet—as long as the Empire State Building is high—and you getsome idea of ita size. It has accommo­dations for 2,000 passengers, carries a crew of 1,100 and is equipped tosupply everything that makes forcomfort and pleasure. It is truly acity afloat. And so here we are, passengers onthe Queen Mary far out in the Atlan­ tic and heading for England and itis time to bring my first newsletterto a close. You will be hearing more about the champion Canadian plow­men and about how they make out inthe overseas matches, but I would liketo emphasize that the boys feel thatthey will not be competing as indivi­duals but as representatives of the 1,178 boys who plowed at Burford.Win, lose or draw; you'll be proudof them aa good sports and goodCanadians. In 1881, JamM Ingersoll was post­ master of Ingersoll, and was stillfilling that position when the rebel­ lion occurred and the postoffice wasremoved from the cobblestone build­ing near the market to the comer ofKing and Thames streets, in the spot now occupied by the comerdrug store. The next postmasterwas Daniel Phalen, and the office was removed to the corner of Kingand Water streets.. When Mr.Phelen gave up the office, C. E. Chadwick was appointed and theoffice was removed to King streetwest. As a result of denouncing the government in a political address,Mr. Chadwick was dismissed and the late Joseph Thirkle was appointed and filled the position for about 25years. He built the postoffice nowin use. He died in 1882 and Joseph Gibson was appointed and has sincefilled the position.

Assert St. Valentine’s Day I’S ^r ^X W ^i H a s Nothing to do With Saint will try to describe what we see,where we go, what we do. and some­times, what we hear. If Mark Twain hadn’t already used the title I’d sug­gest that these news-letters be called“The Innocents Abroad" for this is the first time that any of us havecrossed the ocean although we areall of British descent The boys' great-grandfathers and my great­great-grandfather crossed over fromthe British Isles and settled in Can­ ada. Our fiveday voyage on theQueen Mary is about equal to thenumber of weeks that our ancestors took to sail to Canada a century a«°- , ,But to start at the beginning, as every news reporter is taught to do,I’ll introduce the champion plowmen and myself.Ronald Marquis, the gold medal horse plowman, is the youngestmember of the group. He is 28, single, and lives with his father,Lloyd Marquis on a 150-acre farmnear Sunderland, about eight miles north of Uxbridge, Ont. Ron hasbeen a contestant at plowing mat­ches for the past 15 years and he has won half a dozen gold watchesplus a large quantity of silver cupsand trays at International and coun­ ty matches.Jim Eccles, winner in the tractorclass, hails from Brampton and is my next door neighbor. He is 30, mar- 1 ried, and works a 425-acre mixedfarm. Like Ron Marquis, Jim has been taking part in plowing matchesfor th past 15 years. For the lastfour years he has been trying for top place in the Esso Champions atthe International. In 1946 he placedfourth, the next year he was sev­enth, the following year he placed ,sixth and last year he succeeded in winning. - i See Fimoui Herd* And now in describing my activi­ ties, I would first like to mention ,that all of us have much in common. .Besides being members of pioneer j Canadian families all of us raise ,purebred cattle and we look forward jto visiting some of the famous herds in the old countries such as the Ab- ;erdeen-Angus, Guernsey, Herefords, ]and others whose progeny are so ] popular in Canada. iPerhaps you wonder why I am ,with the team when I did not plow {ut the International last year. In ad- ]dition to paying the costa of send- iing over the champions, Imperial (also provides a coach-manager to jbe appointed by the Ontario Plow- jmen's Association. That association j onerates the International Plowing ]Matches. As a director it was my -luck to be selected. :But to get back to my life story, iIn addition to raising purebredcattle I grow registered seed on my farm, called Pioneer Lodge, becauseit is the family homestead. I havehave always been interested in muru icipal and government affairs andduring my overseas trip I hope tostudy some of the governments overthere. In London I had hoped tosee parliament in action, but asthere is an election on I will only see the buildings, However in thesedays when so much is being said and written about representativegovernment it will be an experience just to see the “Mother of Parlia­ments."Since October 14th at Burford (at the close of the 1949 Interna­tional Plowing Match), when in­formed we would be going overseas, it has been a busy period. Prepar­ations for the trip have involved usin passports, visas, foreign exchange and numerous other governmentaland transportation regulations, butwe managed to cope with them.There were also meetings to attendand farewells to be said and ofcouree there was no end to the tasksthat had to be done before leavingour farms for so long a time. It • So you think you know what St. i'Valentine’s Day is, do you? No,. don’t go away. It might interest youI to know, for instance, that it really 5 has nothing to do with the saint at• all. If not, perhaps you’ll find some-i thing in the knowledge that there ' were three well-known St Valen-- tines and reference can be found ini the Encyclopedia Brittanica to a to- ■ tai of 52, (not all of them martyredi or sainted, though.) ' The St. Valdhtine commonly ’ associated with February 14th was' a priest of Rom- martyred in thethird century. He was first beaten 4 with clubs and then beheaded. Most ,' of his remains are preserved In St. 'i Praxedes at Rome, where a gate (now known as Porta Del Popolo), (was named after him Porta Valen- ’ tint It does seem though, (and mostreference books agree on this), thatthe February 14th rites were knownbefore this time and it is purely , coincidence that February 14th was 1 the day of his—and another Valen- Itine’s martyrdom. ‘ The most likely origin of the dayis in the fact that the Romans held ' feasts during the middle of Febru­ary at which aspiring young mendrew names of maidens from a bal­ lot. In the middle ages it was afirmly established ‘special day’. .The unmarried young men and anequal number of unmarried girls ,each wrote their names or a pseu-donymn on a slip of paper and they were then all put together in a boxfrom which everyone drew a name—the men, of course, drawing girls* ‘ names and vice versa.Later, in the 18th century, it be­came the custom for the chooser to j present the chosen with a gift, and . house. It was one way of beatingthe superstition. O.K., you can go ahead and postthat card now, only don’t forget— you mustn’t sign it. Why, we can'tfind out.
