Chapters Celebrate Order’s Golden Jubilee at Joint Meeting The Golden Jubilee of the LO.D.E. and also that of Lady Dufferin Chapter of Ingersoll, was celebrated in St. James’ Angli­ can parish hall Monday night, when the four chapters of Inger­ soll and area had a joint banquet meeting. Guest speaker was Mrs. Ryland H. New, CBE, of Oakville, former national president of the LO.D.E. Two guests of honor were Miss Elizabeth Thomp-f son and Mrs. J. Ridley of Ingersoll, charter members of the Lady No Heat, Lights, Food, Phone ’ That’s Some Folks’ Plight ' "Mommy how is it that we can still see — you said all the lights were off?” The little girl, one of the modern push-button generation, 1 had never seen a coal oil lamp until her father hunted out that one J that had been rusting in the basement for yea^s. It was Tuesday 1 evening, and Ingersoll, hit by the worst ice storm in several years, was cut off from hydro services.That little girl wasn’t the only one of her age who looked quiz- < zically at one of those relics of the “bad old days” that came to the ‘ rescue of power-deprived families all over town. S.he’d never seen 1 or heard of light coming on when the hydro was off — in.fact she’d j never realized that she could be without light for dinner. How it (worked — how the oil got up to the wick — all had to be carefully i explained to the young mind. The storm that raged through Western Ontario all Monday andTuesday night left the town half paralyzed and virtually cut off from the outside world. Hydro lines were wrecked as ice broke them, trees and branches fell on them, or poles snapped. Telephone serviceswere almost non-existent outside the town itself, and even here many lines-were down. Both C.P.R. and C.N.R. telegraph services werebroken. Said Lloyd Rutledge of the Canadian Pacific: “This is-.the worst I can remember, we have wires to cut us in on pretty well any line in Ontario, but they are all down.” The C.N.R. could reportno better, either. Schools fared ruggedly. Out at Zenda only four pupils of a total of 31 made an appearance, school buses were held up, lights and heat'off kept students and teachers near shivering, and the collegiate returned to an'old hand bell for signalling the end of periods. Thecommencement exercises at Thamesford Continuation School, origi­ nally scheduled for last night, were expected to be put off becau& of the power shortage. AThe storm brought its lighter moments and one of them male Dr. George Emery smile in spite of himself. On Thames St. Tuesday morning his car stuck injfce snow and in vain attempts to frea himself he stripped first reverse and then first gear. So he trudged’ through the foot-deep snow and ice to a telephone, called the garage— and heard that their phone was out of order. So, back he went, and thumbed a lift into town to his office,, dashed in only a few minutes late — and found he had left his little black bag in the car!Townsfolk missed their daily Ingersoll Hour because a rural hydro breakdown forced CKOX off the air all day, their transmitter depending on Woodstock rural power. Herm Lindsey almost lost his car, which was parked outside his house on Hall St., when hydro wires came down on it and beganburning towards the auto. Fortunately, before the fire hit the car, the wind blew the wires against the pole and shorted them. “It was dose,” says Herm, “it was only about a foot from the car when theyblew.” It will be six weeks to two months, says H. I.. Stewart, before full service is back on the Ingersoll exchange. The telephone man­ager reported that 200 poles were known to be down, affecting 2,000 telephones. The whole rural area is paralyzed and all toll lines were down, although these would be the first to be put into action.It was, he added, the north and south of town that suffered the heaviest from fallen poles and broken wires. .The home of Dr. H. G. Furlong, King St. West, Was shaken - when a huge limb fell right down over the front door, smashing the upper verandah. It was probably the biggest fallen tree in town.Members of the house thought the whole building was about to collapse. Fortunately — and amazingly — no windows Were broken, which, with no heat, would have made the living situation worse. Many families without heat moved in with friends who hadsome. One family sighed that they at least had an electric blanket — forgetting it needed a spot of power, too. One man cooked hisdinner in his coal furnace. Another couple got out a percolator 38 years old, and a chafing dish even older, and a bottle of methylated spirits, and had their best cup of coffee in years.No cases of injury through slipping on the ice, being hit by. falling boughs or touching live wires were reported, though the report that a little boy had been electrocuted swept through the town.

GEORGE HAYES GORDON PLTTOCK Carve Propeller From Steel Block For Miss Canada IV A new propeller for Miss C;mada IV is going to be carved out of a solidblock of steel by English craftsmen.This is the word brought back fromEngland by Harold Wilson, who flew over for consultations with propellorexperts to eliminate the bugs prepara­tory for the speed trials and Harms-worth this year. Normally, propellers are cast, and ofbronze. A carved one of steel is some­thing very new and different and, it ishoped, the answer to tile problem. Four hundred man hours will be required tocarve the propellor, he said.Harold said Don Campbell, son of thelate Sir Malcolm Campbell, holder of the world's boat speed record, wouldnot be in the Harmsworth this year,but hop;! to make nnr>tl«sr attemptthe world's speed record this summer. A new type propellor is required byMiss Canada to absorb the 2H50 horse­power de veloped by the Griffon engine.Pre viem propellers haw bent underthe terrific force. Harold was in London (England) at4 pan. Saturday and in Toronto at 9the next morning. MRS. SMITH WINS Through a misunderstanding the major prize at the LOJD.E.

Pirie Heads Army Unit Plan Rifle Range Gerald Pirie. member of the CollegiateInstitute Board, has been appointed newcommanding officer of "D” Company, Oxford Rifles, here, succeeding CaptFred Wurker. Mr. Pirie has been giventhe rank of major, a step up from hisrank during the war, when he served in the France - Belgium - Holland -Germany campaign. He was with theQueen's Own Cameron Highlanders ofCanada (Winnipeg). Capt. Ted Pratt of Ingersoll will bescrnird in command.Major Pirie was an anti-tank instruc­tor during the war, and thus he brings a wealth of experience to the Ingersollunit which is anti-tank. Interest inthe unit has fallen off woefully, with only a handful turning out for paradeMondays and Thursdays, when thereshould be over 100.Major Pirie said plans were, being drawn up to encourage more- younj:men to join up. He pointed out thatunit members get regular army pay, dental and medical treatment on en­trance, summer ramp and ?portf. andother activities. Now, he said, theywere becking a rifle range in town to provide shooting and regular competi­tions. Falls Through Ice While Skaling Elizabeth Chisholm. 10, daughter ofMr. and Mrs. E. J.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, I960 We Take Off Our HatTo Phone, Hydro Workers No praise can be too great for the men of the hydro, local and rural, and the telephone company who strived day and night — and are still striving __ to bring heat, light and communications back to a devastated Ingersoll and area. There are only a few of them, but they did the work of hundreds. And It was dirty and dangerous work. Wires, some very much alive, were down, with others snapping at disheartening intervals. Hundreds of poles were down or teetering, with others threatening to go any minute. And icy rain was pouring down. But despite all this, these men climbed icy trees and snapped poles, hacked off limbs and connected wires and went without steep or meals so that life may be a little more comfortable for the people they served. They are still working around the clock to get the job done. We take off our hat to them. H* related hi» twin theme* of efficiency and pro­ fit by riling the 400 per cent jump in South Carol­ina’s farm income following adoption of more effi-icint method* of produettoa. Mr. Brumfield waa oneof the first to adopt the lurthod of very ahallow til­ lage. combined with mixing all manner of vegetablewastes tn the topsoil. It may be true that thia methodha» limited application, but for some reason it ha* been frowned on in Ontario with the re»uit that noreal attempt haa been made to tee whether the year-after-year ■ueceaaea attributed to it tn the United States could be duplicated at least in part.But conservation from the farmers’ point of viewmay mean many things. In OnUrio there is verylittle pasture planting except by large^cale dairy­ men. In thousands of mixed farming operationscrop rotation follows some ancient rule of thumb,although free advice based soil analysis is read­ ily available. In a surprising large number of in­stance* manuring practices are a waste of labor;and the reclamation of sandy patches by sowing a suitable succession of grass covers is almost Whollyneglected.Conservation is not something that should bestarted somewhere else. ItR elementary principles can be applied wherever their is a farmer on a farm.As things now stand in this Province its variousapplications have become a prerequisite of econo­ mical food production—the only basis upon whichfarm profits can find a solid foundation. There arenumbers of Canadian farmers who already know that profits arising from subsidies are illusive and"in the end self-consuming. They bonus inefficiency,and the two together create an expanding spiral which injures both the producer and the consumer.On the other hand, high efficiency and low costaobviates the necessity for such fleeting assistanceand lead to a generally higher prosperity level. Not the least of the evils of subsidies in conjunc­tion with poor soil and moisture management isthat they tend to create monopolies. An alert far­mer who knows how to co-operate to the best ad­vantage with nature accepts the subsidy as an ad-iditon to profits. With this extra capital he is able to expand until his operations dominate his township.Neighbors with higher costa per unit of productionare not saved by their subsidies. They end up work­ ing for the big fellow—or sell out to him and lookfor work in the city.Ontario farmers can do what most of Mr. Brom­ field’s neighbors did: Adopt his methods and sharehis prosperity. There is something more than amere fad involved when these methods both lower the cost and treble the production of an acre ofground.(Globe and Mail) LOOKING BACK In th* Filas of Ths Ingeraoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario 51 YEARS AGO Do What the Doctor OrdersThat’s Way to Good Health Ths carnival at the rink Tuesday night brought out a large attend­ance.

NATURE UNSPOILtD All the Comfort* of Home Not So Comfortable After All As we write this there are still many Ingersoll and district homes without power or telephones, or both, as a result of one of the worst storms to hit the area in years. It goes to prove one thing — our much-vaunted finely-tuned modern living is not all it’s cracked up to be. True, with the press of a switch we can have heat, light, music, hot meals and cold drinks. But with the collapse of one ice-laden branch we can be with­ out all of them. Some homes with “all the comforts of 1950 civi­ lization” had exactly none during the storm — no heat, no light, and no warm meals. The man in the happiest position was the man* living as did his family 50 years ago — with coal or wood stove, coal oil lamps or candles. He had all the comtforta of home. The way Ingersoll and area was so quickly and completely paralyzed and sent back to the dark ages makes one wonder about the advisability of putting all our eggs in one basket, so to speak. The town, despite the valiant efforts of telephone men and hydro men, was virtually immobilized. The other night we envied the families with none of the “comforts". Cut Down Farm Fire Losses By Following These Suggestions Before 1950 comes to an end, fire will destroy some $10,000,000 worth of Canadian farm property, statisticians predict. Scores of families will be left homeless. A large number of adults and children will never see the dawn of 1951. Their charred bodies will be found among the smouldering ruins of what had been happy homes. A rural Dre is being infinitely more terrifying than one in an urban centre where a modem fire brigade is only as far away as the comer fire alarm box. When a farm building catches fire the best that usually can be mustered is a bucket brigade of neigh­ boring farmers who are willing but often helpless. It is vital therefore, that every farmer institute his own fire protection program. To check the quick spreading of flames, curtains and other fabric materials in the home can be treat­ ed with certain flame proofing chemicals. Fire re­ tardent paints are now on the market. Inexpensive fire extinguishers can be hung in easily-accessible places about the house and barn.. Outbreaks of fire can be prevented if a few sim­ ple rules are followed, C-I-L Agricultural News potato out Keep basements, attics and outbuildings free of rubbish. Store gasoline and other inflam-* mable liquids at a safe distance from the main buddings. Provide a safe place to deposit hot ashes from stove or furnace. Watch the careless smoker and the child with matches. Be careful using Kero­ sene when starting a stove fire. Be sure hay is well cured before putting it in the loft unless there is a safe mow-curing system. In­ spect the lightning rod system once a year. If there isn't one it would pay in the long run to have one. Each spring and fall che$k over chimneys'and flues for cracks that would permit flames to reach other parts of the house. A ladder long enough to reach the top of the highest building on the farm should be kept in a handy place. If there is a water system, a few well-placed hose connections are good protection. If not, a barrel of water painted red and lettered FOR FIRE ONLY should be kept near every buildkig and used only in case of fire. If the statistics mentioned fa the first paragraph­ bond be halved or eliminated altogether, we’re posi­ tive the statisticians won’t mind being wrong in their predictions. In fact, they’ll be extremely pleased. Can We Cut Death Tolls On Highways? Some idea of what highway accidents cost thepeople of Ontario is afforded by the statement ofHon. George Doucett, provincial minister of high­ways, that $630,614 has been paid out from thedepartments unsatisfied judgement fund since July,1947, when the fund was established. Had it not been for this fund, which is made upby payments of 50 cents a year by motor-car opera­tors, some 468 persons who suffered personal or property loss in accidents would have gone withoutpayment. The Ontario fund is a fine thing as faras it goes, and has been copied by other provinces, most recently by Nova Scotia. But is there morethat can be done?Mr. Doucett states that 820 persons were filled in motor accidents in Ontario last year. This is 19above the previous peak reached in 1941. Damage inaccidents reached the tremendous total of $9,500,000. Can we do something constructive about this? Anarticle in Saturday Night, referred to recently onthis page, pointed out that in proportion to the den­ sity of traffic our roads *r® more dangerous thanthose in the United States. Surely we could learnsomething from our neighbors. One obvious thing is that our highways can begreatly improved and hazards eliminated by engin­eering improvements. Something along this line has already been done, but there is still much to do.Another necessity is a far more careful check on drivers and vehicles before issuing permits. Railway engineers must pass rigorous physical teste atshort intervals, and locomotives and railway carsare overhauled with great care. Why should the le­ thal instruments which we drive on our highwaysnot have similar safeguards? Instead of a few per­functory questions on a form why should not dri­ vers have physical and mental checks? Medicine hasestablished that certain people are accident prone.But no advantage has been taken of this. And in general it ig'only after an accident that rattletrapcars are banned from highways. Next week the Ontario Legislature meets again. Would it not bewise to prepare some real, thorough-going plan for, safety on the highways? Or must we wait until afew hundred or a few thousand more people are killed? And none of us can tell which of us, or ofour children will be the next victim.

A happy event took place at thebeautiful home of Mr. Ransom Har­ ris, Salford, on Wednesday evening,Feb. 8th, it being the marriage ofhis oldest daughter, Edith M., to Mr. William F. Harrison. The bride wasassisted by her sister, Miss Clara. The groom was assisted by hisbrother, Mr. Fred Harrison of Ing­ersoll. Rev. A. Kennedy of Salford,performed the ceremony. Mr. A. A.Stevens played the wedding march.Among those taking part on the evening's programme was Mr. Healyof Ingersoll, who played several se­lections on his gramophone, Mr. and and Mrs. Harrison will reside inWoodstock.

It ia called Heroes of Health. The stories run from Harvey andJenner of England, Simpson ofScotland, and Pasteur of France through the roster to Madame Curieof Poland and Frederick Banting ofCan'ada. All their good achievementa ar* summed up In a stirring lineadapted from Tennyson’s LocksleyHall: We are the heirs of all the ^The benefits of medical advance have been tremendous. Comparingthe period 1921 to 1925 with 1945 to 1947, the Minister of NationalHealth and Welfare told the Houseof Commons last year that general mortality had decreased 16 percent, infant death rates 51 per cent,and maternal death rates 64 per cent. Since 1931 the life expectancyat birth for Canadians has increasedby five year for boys and seven years for girls.In the last 50 years the deathrate from tuberculosis has been re­duced by 80 per cent. In the past ’20 years it has been reduced by 46per cent This is perhaps the great­est single achievement in our public health history, and it illustrateswell the worth of early diagnosisand quick and adequate treatment. The question will be asked byevery thinking person: if this canbe done in the case of tubercul­ osis, why not in the case of someother diseases? The anwer is: it: can. It requires only the sincereco-operation of people with 'their , family physicians, communityclinics, and social service organiz- . ations. ,. ,. Look at the story told by thesefigures, representing diseases about ’ which people have been made con­scious and against which they haveJ learned to protect themselves and. their children by examination and . treatment or by taking precau- 1 tions: . _ I- ___ Nephritis ranks third among themajor causes of death in Canada.It is a disease that can be brought on in three ways: by Infection, bypoisoning, and by reduced bloodsupply. The cure is not to be had by self-medication, but by goingto a doctor at the first signs oftrouble, and obeying the rules for diet and behaviour he lays down.—(From Royal Bank Monthly.) JAMES A. EDWARDS DIES IN 64th YEAR W hat Others Say: Efficiency Not a Fad Louis Bromfield hag won his place both as apractical farmer and as an agricultural economist.He won it the hard way, by becoming a farmer after be had made his name as an author. By persistence,common sense, and an understanding of the relat­ionship between the law* of nature and the laws ofeconomies be overcame the prcdjudice commonly snf-feed by the “gentleman farmer*. In the end he wonan enthusiastic following of real dirt farmers who deified to learn what he knows about efficiency as Machine* Don’t Make The Farmer In a letter a correspondent takes this newspaper strongly to task for approving the advice given byMr. Louis Brnmfield to the Ontario Crop Improve­ment Association. ■ The letter makes insinuations which we do not consider justified but we are takingissue only with the statement that we deliberatelyfailed to mention that Mr. Bromfield was a wealthy man. If Mr. Bromfield was the only farmer to prac­tice conservation methods, his wealth might havebeen a factor in hi* success. But other farmer* with­ out .much money have done many fine things alongthis line. Mr. Bromfield’s wealth is irrevelant toconservation fanning. It merely makes it pos­sible for him to work on a latger scale. Louis Bromfield’s methods were largely adoptedfrom a neighbor named Cosmas Blubaugh, who purchased a badly run-down farm of 140 acres about25 years ago. Without money or experience, but withan intelligent, open mind, he followed the advice of the county agncultural agent. Now his farm haschanged from a barren, brush-covered wildernessto a fertile acreage* producing crops averaging a hundred bushels of coni, forty bushels of wheatand four tons of grass to the acre. Its financialreturns are about $30,000 a year. Farmer* do not need expensive machinery topractice conservation farming. It does Wot requirespecial equipment to plow on the contotar, to prac­ tice rotations based on soil needs, or to developsctenttfic pasturftge. It does not require a great deal of money to grow crop* suited to the chemistry ofthe sori; to conserve moisture and build humus. Itis simple wisdom and not a rich man’s whim to planttrees on a hilly or sandy soil, to keep livestock out of woodiota. It is ordinary sense to prevent gulliesfrom forming and by planting graas crops to stemerosion and save the soil. There is something disturbing in the fact thatwith increased fertilizer, better seed, a vast increasein labor-saving machinery, our dield crops yield has remained nearly stationary for over several years.It can only be due to the fact that the soil fertilityis not being maintained. Farm population haa aer- iously declined and rural industries have disappear­ed with the lack of both raw materials and markets.We have done well financially because prices havebeen high, but soil depletion and inefficiency will make heavy inroads on farm prosperity as pricesfall A farmer whose produce i8 inferior in bothquantity and quality to that of another who prac-tices conservation will be at great disadvantage*Instead of enviously dismissing Louis Bromfield’ssuccess in farming as if it wer* something pur- chaaed by his income as a writer, we should be grate­ful for wnat he has shown us, and be willing tolearn. Farmers are often too much inclined to blameeconomic forces, or city dealers or anyone but them­selves for their failure to reach their own hopes.Let them avail themselves of new methods, whichtheir agricultural representative or their neighborswould be glad to explain. Farmers everywhere have pnpved that to work with nature is profitable. Theyneed not be rich to begin with, but they often be­ come rich aa a result And there could be no betterpluee than Peel County in which, our correspondentresides to show how a little conservation could worka big miracle.

Why All Th««« Death*? Why do so many Canadians dieevery year of heart disease? Nearlyone out of every five deaths is the record. A publication of the HealthLeague called Health Facts lays theissue squarely on the doorstep of the individual person. Thousands ofhours are being spent by doctors,surgeons, research workers and others on heart problems, with someamazing results, but the sick per­son must co-operate. “If he does,- says Health Facts, “life may length­en out to the normal span; if hedoes not, the thread may snap at any. time.’’Prevention is most important, andit consists mainly in doing what the doctor orders. Many new drugs,surgery, nutrition, rest of body andof mind, all of these are important,but the biggest factor is in the hands of the individual: controlledliving.Canada has good reason to be concerned with the steadily-growing,number of deaths from cancer. The| only way to overcome cancer is.through education. When symptomsof the disease are recognized in its I early stages, and steps are taken tocounteract the disease, the battle is |half won. Progress is being ma^le Iby research workers toward a com-1plete answer to the cancer menace,!Even now, the growth of certain | cancer cells can be slowed down by1 administration of certain agencieswhich do not injure normal body cells.

It belongs to Mrs. J. V.Buchanan and was earned by berfather, the man whose name is on the back—Cpl. C. G. Clarke, 22 Ox­ford. Noting mention in The Tribune ofits "finding, Mrs: Buchanan writes: "Many thanks to Bernie Zur­brigg for turning in to you my fath­er’s medal, which I gave to — grandson, Bobbie Buchanan, put in his "treasure chest",father, Capt Charles Gustin Clarke,was a student at the Woodstock In­ stitute, (later Woodstock BaptistCollege and now I believe a CatholicInstitute), when The Fenian Raid took place in 1866, when he wasonly 20.The Oxford Rifles were sent down to the Niagara and Fort Erie dis­tricts. "The veterans many years later were presented with medals and agrant of land of ISO acres each, upin a then-inaccessible territory above Lake Superior. "My father was a son of a pioneerBritisher from Yorkshire, John Clarke, who built the large stonehouse on the 1st concession, directlysouth of Woodstock. The main en­ trance has his initials, (J. C., anddate 1842), chiselled in the stoneabove the deepset doorway."The home was always a centre ofhospitality for their circle of friendsin Woodstock and surrounding ter­ritory. My father’s only sister, Mar- ilia, married Thomas Oliver, the firstmember to represent all Oxford atOttawa at Confederation. They es­ tablished their home in a gabledbrick house, still standing on the brow of Simcoe St., Woodstock,which later was known as Oliver'sHill, Beverly Ingersoll, son of JamesIngersoll, first registrar of Wood- stock, was killed oh one of the ac­customed bob-sledding parties there.“On the maternal side, Cpl. Chas. G. Clarke came from the deMabillefamily of Anjou, France, which es­caped the Hugenot massacre of 1672 by escaping to Holland, whereafter staying 100 years, they weregiven a grant of 3000 acres by the king of Holland in America. NewYork State and one of the largestcities, is now built part on it “The ancestor who first came outto the New World was Pierre Gas­pard de Mabille in 1624. After the American Revolution, the descend­ants came to New Brunswick in1783, accompanied by a cousin, Peter Secord, founder of another oldU. E. Loyalist family. His 'father-in-law, George Bowditch, pioneer hardware merchant, established 1846in Woodstock, was also one of theOxford Rifles Reserve.

INGERSOLL COMMUNITY CENTRE 8.30 o’clock TO-NIGHT Feb. 16 rashly (actually we enjoyed it, though .we wouldn’t admit it for worlds) pro- ’ n»iwd friend Ham Gosse we would 4pinch-hit as P.T. instructor while he 4was attending YMCA business in St. Catharines. When we got there we 4cculd feel the girlg saying to each 4other, “There he is." And we smiledsmugly to ourselves as we lovingly 4caressed the black whistle nestled in 4our coat pocket. "Aha", we thought ,ito ourselves, “they’ll jump when we ’I give ’em a peep on this.” So we re- 4|moved our coat—carefully so as not 4 to disturb the two sets of hockeyequipment that were boosting the out- 4lines of our manly figure. 4 We drew in half a breath (not .wanting to deafen them all at once,or cause some of them to throw hys- 4 terics over the sudden shock) and let jloose with what we thought was the 'grandpappy of all shrill, piercing, 4 Phee-ee-ee-ees. Instead there came 4only a sick, apologetic, inferior Foo-ee-oo-shhhh that didn’t even disturb 4 the dust on the end of the whistle. 4Fortunately they were all too busy .playing around to note our suddenly ’ raised blush of shame, so we muttered 4something about, “Wasn'tsohotwasit- 4must’vebecnsomethinginit”, and ended 1 in a silly titter. 4We loosened the shoulder pads of 4our manly figure and filled our lungsdeep with the air that swilled all 4 round and, with puffed cheeks and 4bulging eyes, put our all into a half- .baked peep that got attention solely ’ because nobody happened to be sj>ea- 4king at that precise moment. A wee 4 but pretty damsel ahead of us turnedand said, “Don't you think we should 4start?” So for want of adequate re- 4 tort we started.This particular squad, incidentally, 4aix. Ham’s pride and joy. He boasted 4 proudly to us that once they were jstarted they did everything like well- 'ordered machinery. FraaMy we were 4 never more glad in our lives that the 4gals did just that. We stood quietly .back, humming gently and tossing the 4 black whistle from one hand to the 4other with a nonchalance that was .a credit to our parents* strict up- ’ bringing. 4As they went into their routine for 4the 23rd time, wc realized (rather ad- 1 mitted) that we ought, perhaps, to 4stop them or at least perhaps reverse 4the direction so that they didn’t get dizzy. So we popped Old Black Joe 4into a reluctant pair of lips, grasped 4the whistle firmly in our teeth, hun- . ched our back, gave a fairish inter- 'pretatfon of the Hucklebuck and 4emitted .... one large bubble from . the open end of that black monstros- 5 ity. It stopped them! The spectacle <of our apologetic, semi-petrified form 4swaying gently in time with the bub- .ble as the air currents moved it from ’side to side wa8 enough to stop one ( o them thar H bombs they’s all stalk- .ing aboutWhat might have happened then is < purely a matter of horror. Our next .move would have been an exploratoryintaking of breath to draw that of- 4 fending demon back into its den. 4With it gone who knows, we mighthave been hypnotically swaying gen- 4 tly to and fro yet, alone in the gym, 1an outcast from society (Hear that .soft music?) But fortunately the bubble burst! *And we snapped out of our trance ,with a shriek that caused one little girl to faint, two to turn white, seven 1 to tremble with a violence that threat- ,ened the safety of the'floor and the rest to scurry off back to school 25 'minutes early. <The whistle? It is still in our poc- (ket and will stay there until this suiof ours falls apart, which is normally 'the time when we begin to suspect , that we may be needing a new one.Offer us all the tea m China, all the 'rubieg in Burma, all the diamonds < in India, or even a ticket to SouthPacific and we’d still leave it there..We are obsessed with a sneaking terror that should we bring thatblack plastic monster once again intothe light of day it will raise the stars out of the sky with that giganticblast that we know is in it somewhere.

Mount Elgin is Busy Place Has Been For Many Years By Bertha Gilbert The little village of Mt. Elginwith a population of around some200 residents stands foremost in Dereham Township, Oxford- County,being the centre of* community acti­vities for a great number of years. It is a small country village, “one of,those little places that run half-wayup the hili beneath the blazing sun and then sat down to rest as if tosay, ’1’11 climb no further upward,come what may’.” It is situated onhighway No. 19 which runs directly to Lake Erie, connecting highwaysNo. 2 and 3, two of Ontario’s mostly-~ ---■•»—:important travel routes. With a good. LaU“r du ™* Lord Elgin’s term of----- - ••----- -~j > • <-—,| office as Governor-General of Canada, from 1847 to 1854, he stopped in pas­ sing through the village and everyonewa8 so impressed with his fine per­sonality- it was decided to re-name the village after this great man and hencei we know it today as Mt. Elgin.1 Early transportation was made by a four-horse stage owned by oneReubin Carroll of Ingersoll, who al­so had an interest in tbe plank road running from Ingersoll to Port Bur­well. Toll-gates were situated at eq­ual distances along this road, where the travelling public paid a small feefor the right to travel on it and tohelp pay for its construction and up­keep. This was known to be the firstpublic highway, 32 miles in lengthwith Tillsonburg the half-way town.Mt. Elgin was midway- between Ing­ ersoll and Tillsonburg. Thia roadwas in operation before the first rail­ way, the Great Western, was builtrunning through Ingersoll. then owned by Josiah Collins andnow property of Charles Smith.

Dereham Towhship, the bannertownship of Oxford County, whichir. early pioneer days was called“Old Swampy Dereham,” but thr­ough the thrift of a fine type of earlypioneers, has become one of the rich­ est dairy districts of the province.Thia township was surveyed1 in1799 by one Wm. Hambley, with lines,concessions, and lots, marked by rows of blazed trees and stakes and readyto be handed out in large blocks tothe early settlers. Originally the land about Mt. Elginwas bought from the Crown in 1800by the honorable Robert Hamiltonwho like the other nobility boughtland in large blocks as a speculation.Later it was made into village lotsand farms.

ONTARIO CLIFF LOVE Dra«i«t LOVE'S At this time all merchandise pur­chased from wholesale warehousesfor Ingersoll residents was shipped by boat to Port Burwell and thenconveyed by wagon over the plankroad and distributed to points along the route, Mt Elgin included. Whenthe Great Western went through, itsounded the death note for this form of freight transport. Later in 1901came the railroad, first the Ingersoll,Port Burwell, and Pacific Road, andlater purchased by the CPR. The mailpreviously brought from Ingersoll and Port Burwell to Mt. Elgin bystage now came by this railway.In speaking of the stage road it is recalled it passed through many lowswampy places and the four-horse,stage and later the two-horse stage, found it almost impossible at timesto make the 32 mile trip in bad wea­ther. As a result some public spirited citizens met together and decided toplank this road. It was a great un­dertaking but those sturdy pioneers had visions and were not to be un­daunted.The country was rich ip timber and they used it. Logs were skidded*out and sawed into planks and’'workstarted. It required considerable time and hard work but it made a goodroad. The planks were laid anglingacross the road and pounded firmly together. In the course of time itwas completed. The planks made asolid floor and it is related the soundof tfce horses’ hooves could be heardtwo miles away. At the time it wasconsidered a wonderful road and itwas known far and wide. It was gra­ veled later and in 1930 it was madehighway No. 19 connecting highwaysNo. 2 and 3. The coming of the railway was animportant event in Mt. Elgin’s his­tory and a great boon when one con­siders the teaming to town pioneers <had to do. It is said more shippingwas done from Mt. Elgin at one timethan from the town of Tillsonburg eight mile8 south. At Mt. Elgin team­sters hauling lumber and other sup­plies from the South to the railroads in Ingersoll, rested and stopped forthe night at the first hotel built andowned by Ira Harris who also-owned several hundred acres around the vil­lage.In the early days of Mt. Elgin there were two hotels, and in 1848the commission sat at the village andgranted a license to both hotels. Sev­ eral years later one wij burned. Thefirst hotel, known as the Mt. ElginHouse, was a place of much activity, being situated on one of the fourcorners of the two main roods over which much teaming was done toneighboring towns.

W orld Said T oo In clined T o B e “February Faced” February with its chill winds, itspinched and shrivelled appearance,is now with us, and I am reminded of an old saying. As youngsters,when peevishness or perverseness soured our features, we used to becalled February faces. I think theexpression must have come from a Shakesperinn quotation I ran acrossrecently, “Why what’s the matterthat you have such a February face, so full of frost, of storm and cloud­iness?What a neat description of the hard, unyielding face of the etern­ally unsatisfied, the face that knowsno sunlight, but freezes itself into deep lines of bitterness. It repelsas does the biting wind of a fierceFebruary day, which makes one long for the warmth of the sun and sum­mer’s gentle breezes. So too mustthe man or woman in close associa­ tion with a mate wearing a Februaryface long for a change. To have toface the sour looks and disposition of such a one day after day foryears, requires a strangely unemo-,tional nature or an even stranger philosophy of resignation. If a manhas neither, he’s bound to seekfields and pastures new, and the sunshine that makes them green■and beautiful. Who can blame him?No man can be expected to live ina February-the-year round kind ofmental atmosphere. He’d wither up to become a sere and withered leafwhile yet in his green youth.No, if Zantippe the Scold had thekind of face that most scolds pos­sess, there’s little wonder that So­crates- found his pleasure with his pupils rather than at home with hislady. Not that he may not havedeserved some of his shrew’s congue-Iashihgs. A philosopher mustat time be 4 trying creature to livewith in alwork-a-day world, but her reputation as a virago havingsurvived as has his as a philosopher,there must have been something superlative about her temper. I’mafraid she really did have a Febru­ary face, poor dear, and it is to So­crates’ credit that he sought sur­ cease with his young men, ratherthan with some fair and pleasant Hebe.Of the man with February faqesI think Scrooge must have been the prime example. Dickens draws himwith a sure pen; he has becometypical. No one could meet his pro­totype walking abroad withoutthinking, “There goes Scrooge, theold skinflint; his bleak face is enough to repel February himself."That his features were eventuallythawed out was the miracle ofDickens’ contriving. He broughtLove, with its ever softening influ­ence, to melt the ice around his heart and bring smiles to the oldcurmudgeon’s face. Would that alike miracle could do the same forall the February faces one meets. A smile and a good temperedgreeting are such simple things,such apparently easy things, one would think. Why cannot we havemore of them? This old world needsthem badly, for it too is much in­clined to be February-faced these days. ______________ KEYSTONE MEMBERSTO VISIT BRANTFORD At the meeting of Keystone Re­bekah Lodge, presided over byNoble Grand, Mrs. Irene Anthony,it was decided that a group of mem­ bers will ro to Brantford to institutea new Rebekah Lodge shortly.
