An increase of sixmills in the tax rate, bringing it to61 mills, is being forecast.'The increase is largely the resultof expenditures on the new hospital,Princess Elizabeth school and re­ pairing damage incurred in thecourse of putting in the new sewersystem. During 1949, the town coun- tributed $95,000 to the hospital;$105,000 for the school addition,and something over $100,000 for repairing the roads in the commun­ity.Because of these expenditures, an extra $23,000 or so must be raisedby taxation this year, one officialtold The Tribune. On the town’spresent assessment of just over $4,000,000, this will require betweenfive and six mills..Members of town council and town officials are now deliberatingon the 1950 estimates, determined tomake the burden on the taxpayer aslight as possible. Cows Reluctant White Hot Bricks Fred Gregg of Salford discoveredlast week that his cows had no liking for the good old ways of the goodold days. They absolutely refused tobe milked "by hand”. But being aresourceful fellow, Mr. Gregg hooked up the motor of his power lawnmower to his milking machine—andmuch to the relief of all concerned—it worked! Eight Lucky Boys Attend N.H.L. Game Eight Ingersoll boys are getting abig treat this Saturday night forgetting the most new members for theYMCA. They’re going to the hockeygame in Toronto, with a banquet atthe Diet Kitchen in the bargain. Nine teams of boys competed forthe prize.

It is expected they will meet some of the big league hockeyplayers. Driving and accompanyingthe boys will be Bob McNiven, Ross Hurst, Archie Hubert, Ham Gosseand Tommy Lee. Choice of The London Camera Club “Sunlit Stream”, by Harold Crellin, was the choice of the London Camera Club asthe "picture of the year” taken by a mem­ber of the Ingersoll Community Camera Club, but Doug Carr’s "Fantasy in Snow,”was chosen by the public attending thechib’s first annual s&lon in The Tribune asTHE picture. Harold’s picture came sec­ond, by one point, when the balloting ofover 200 spectators was checked. Second,in the London Club’s choice, was Carr’s The Choice of “The People- "Quiet River”, but the public made it their third choice. "Reflections", by Jimmy Smith, was selected by the public as the best picture in the whole exhibit, with sec­ ond g.oing to Ken Foster’s “Twin Lakes.” Crellin’s prize-winner was taken about amonth ago at Williamson’s Swamp, withDoug Carr’s being taken last winter, in 4- below weather, during a walk along theC.P.R. south of town with Harry Sivyer. / Save 1,100 Chicks 1500 STILL WITHOUT PHONE—H. I. STEWART Telephone service has been restoredto 954 out of a total of 2,457 sub­scribers whose lines . were broughtdown in last week’s severe ice storm. H. I. Stewart, telephone manager,said yesterday. This represents re­pairs to 184 of the 361 telephone lines that were sent crashing into tangled«nasse8 of ice-covered wire aa treesfell and poles snapped. “The company is endeavoring toreplace as many subscribers’ wires asq'jpkly as they can,” Mr. Stewartsard, “but it will still be some timebefore full service is restored.” Main trouble is the rural areaswhere, he reports, there arq sevenmajor breaks in the company's tele­phone lines. Each one of these breakswill consume tons of wire and a weekor so of steady work before it isrepaired. Every single bit of ser­viceable equipment, he said, is being used and they are working at theirfull capacity of 35 men. 90 TOMORROW! Many congratulations to Mrs. T. Dundas who tomorrow, Feb. 24, willcelebrate her 90th birthday at thehome of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Seldon and Mr. Seldon. Four of 1,650 In Rural Area Had Hydro Feb. 15 Four lucky families in the rural hydro area weren't bothered by theafter-effects of last week’s icestorm; they still had hydro services. But the rest of the 1,650 consumerswent back to whatever they couldfind for heating and lighting theirhomes. That is what Dalton Smith,rural hydro manager reports. Outtside crews were brought into speed repairs to lines and a totalof 86 men braved sub-zero temper­atures to work between here and Stratford restringing broken wires.The crews brought in from othertowns came from Barrie, North Bay, Harrow*, London, Delaware and ""ronto.

Daylight Saving Begins April 30 Daylight saving this year willtend from 12.01 a.m. April 30 until12.01 a.m. September 24, town coun­cil decided Monday. After hearing aletter from the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities deplor­ing lack of uniformity in periods ofdaylight saving throughout the coun­ try, and recommending the abovedates, council decided on motion ofCouncillor Tom Morrison, seconded by Councillor C. Eidt, to empower theMayor to proclaim daylight saving inIngersoll during that period. Over 1000 little chicks owe their lives to the almost sup­erhuman efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Sutherland, Rayside, and their son, Stanley, 11.When the power went off during THE ice-storm it leftMr. Sutherland’s. 1080 10-day old chicks shivering in their electrically-operated homes, or hovers.There was only one thing to do—and the Sutherlandsstarted right in to do it. They heated fire bricks white hot in their furnace, then carried them—three at a time—in a pailthe 150 feet to the barn housing the chicks. For five days and six nigljjs, this went on. Day and night,back and forth, Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland and Stanley grab­bing sleep whenever they could. Mr. Sutherland got just ninehours’ sleep in the week.A Continuous ProcessionThe bricks might be good for an hour,-depending on how cold it was, but according to Mrs. Sutherland it seemed justlike a continuous procession of hot bricks. They picked theirway* around by candle and flashlight, but managed to keepthe four hovers warm.Came the power Sunday noon, and the Sutherlands were ready for *8, week's sleep. But NOT ONE chick died because ofthe cold.Out at Golding Brothers’ chickery they hitched a gasolinepower mowen up and everything went pretty well, but atHawkins’ in Tillsonburg, it is reported thousands of chicks were lost. But it wasn’t only the hatcheries bothered by thecutoff. Bernie Zurbriggj for example, twice had just got a hugevat of dough mixed, when bang went the power, and the restwas finished by hand. Mr. Zurbrigg denies that this plight led to his new partially cooked, “Brown ’N Serve Rolls.” Candles Are Scarce In town, not a candle could be had. Jim Nancekivell,who Was virtually in tears watching his ice-cream gradually become soup, said some people bought paraffin wax and madetheir own candles. Another store discovered a batch of oldcandles about 30 years old and they went like hot cakes. Orvil Harris got out an old lamp of his grandmother’s whichhad nearly reached the ash-can on several occasions. EdGilling used his power mower to pump water, and a farmer is reported to have milked his cows by hooking up his milkingmachine to his car’s windshield wiper. Busiest men then—and still—were Henry Stewart, ofthe Telephone Co. and Ed. Washbum and Dalton'Smith of thehydro. Ed was out until all hours of the night, thinking only of getting things in shape for<4]js customers, while at the sametime his little boy Billy was lying at home, ill, with a terrifictemperature. Bill is better now, thank you.Just about the time the storm was at its height, and Inger­soll in the depths, a note was received from an Ingersoll lady in the south, mentioning she hated to leave Ingersoll for thesouth, “when the weather was so nice here (Ingersoll.)” ex-Charges “Irregularity” In Method of Raising Rent Since 1909, 18,388 people havebeen treated at the Alexandra Hos­pital.

I INGERSOLL PUPILS > IN SPEAKING CONTEST The fire deparment answered twocalls over the week-end one of which proved to be a false alarm.On Saturday evening they werecalled to Charles Street East, wherethe rear of a car had caught fire as it was passing the bridge by Bail­ey’s service station. No damage wasdone and the fire extinguished zy hand. It was caused by brakes bind­ing said Chief Dick Ellis. Then Mon­day morning they were called toAnn St., where smoke had been re­ported coming from the home ofMr. and Mrs. Arkell. The fire, how­ever, proved to be steam rising froma septic tank vent.

Policedestroyed the animal, which wasbadly injured.However, since Bill wasn’t outhunting, hadn’t a gun or license withhim, and it was the close season any­ way the venison goes to the OntarioHospital. It’s doubtful if Bill wouldbe able to face it if ho did see it on a table, though, without ducking. The engagement of Mabel Clark, daughter of Mrs. Albert C. Clark,and Charles Volker, Harold Wilson’sright-hand man in his speedboat en­ deavors, is announced. Charges of “irregularity”, in the proceedure used to raise his rent and that of Russell Nunn, in the Market Building werevoiced by Councillor Lome V. Healy at council Monday night.Boosted a second time in a matter of months, rentals are now$35 each—just about double those a few months ago. After Town Clerk Elmer Winlaw had read the minutesof the previous meeting, including reference to the raising ofthe rents, Councillor Healy wanted to know why the matter was sponsored by the police committee and not the publicbuildings and grounds committee, which he claimed was theproper one. “Probably because it was felt it might not be brought upby the other committee,” declared Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray. “It’s the first time I ever saw the chairman of one com­mittee trespassing on the work of another,” protested Mr. Healy, who emphasized he was not protesting the boost par­ticularly. "It’s exceedingly irregular.”“You had a chance to bring the matter up yourself”, themayor retorted.“If we’re going to be allowed to interfere with each other’s work, we’re going to run away with each other,” saidMr. Healy."You never brought'it up,” reiterated the mayor. “I think it’s exceedingly wrong of you to allow suchthings,” persisted Councillor Healy.”1 don’t think so,” differed the mayor. Surprised To Hear Of It (meetings. If you mean, Mr. Mayor,that if the matter had been left tomy committee, nothing would have been done, I do not think it iscricket.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1950 Tearing Old Hospital Down la Only Course To Follow There undoubtedly will be a protest here and there against tearing down the old Alexandra hos­ pital, as is planned when the new hospital opens. There will be the protests from those who hate to see the link# with the past erased from the map. And there will be the protests from those who feel the building could be put to some useful purpose. No one dislikes more than we do to see the his- toris landmarks, the monuments to a kind of life now gone, ruthlessly razed to be replaced by a gas station or a parking lot or even some new and mod­ em edifice. We feel that some of these relics of the past add to the color and culture of today. However, the old hospital has no great historical significance- We feel it has done its job — a great one for this community — and does not deserve to stand in all its rambling shoddiness shamed by the new, glisten­ ing beauty of what is considered the very latest in buildings today. It cannot-be put to any useful purpose. The de­ partment of health has ruled it unfit for any use in the health program of Ingersoll and district. It would cost a fortune to rebuild it for anything and then one would have only a patched up “rambling pile.” Not only would it mar the beauty of the new hospital, but it would be a menace to it. Mr. Bill Schwenger, the contractor, pointed out to us where bricks are starting to loosen and fall, where other sections of the structure are beginning to disinte­ grate. He noted' what a fire trap it could be. Last but not least is the fact that the old hos­ pital stands in the path of future expansion of the new one. The new hospital is designed to move east. Until expansion is required, the area will be for parking. All in all, we feel the only course is to tear the building down.

All that is sought i9 *800 and no money could be better given. No finer youth organisation operate than th^ Boy Scouts, and the other members of the family — Cubs, Brownies and Girl Guides. The whole aim of the Boy Scout movement is to teach boys to lead clean, God-fearing useful lives — and certainly our Ingersoll boys are getting that training.

They’ve been coming along in their hundreds again thia year, just as regular as the four seasons of the year. Sitting at our desk we have a sort of cut-off view of the door. We can see the top half but the lower part i* obscured by the front counter. At noon and again after four the door periodically opens, then closes. We stare towards the front of the office ready to smile, if it’s a customer, or duck —as tho occasion demands. But we stare into empty space. At first it bothered us and even now, after almost two weeks of this harrowing experience, we still gaze blankly at the door as if expecting it to speak. It never does, but a voice from the empty wilderness dominated by Doug Carr’s famous bi­ cycle pipes up, “Any blotters, please?” Sure enough, there just below the counter, is a small kiddy whose main desire at that moment is one of those blotters with the pretty pictures on the back that appear from all quarters of the world around Christmas and New Year. Sometimes they come alone, some­ times a bunch gangs up on us, sometimes a bunch come in one at a time in a steady procession that last8 for minutes on end. At first we lavishly gave out handfuls at a time, but now we’ve cut it down to just a few apiece. Pretty soon it’ll be one apiece. Then the supply will be gone and we’ll have to say, “Sorry, no more till next year kids”. And that's what we have to say now — we’jre fresh out.

On Monday evening the residenceof Mr. James Patterson, Thames-ford, was ransacked. Mr. Patterson, who is treasurer of St Andrew’sChurch, was with his family at thethe anniversary services. About 510 in American cents was taken. Thatsame night, a horse and buggy wastaken from the church shed* whichbelonged to Smale’s Livery in Inger­soll and taken out by Mr, HarryBower. Mis* Maggie J. Bremner, daugh­ter of the late Alexander Bremner, Beachville, died on Monday last inthat village. She was in her 33rdyear. Uren, a native of Penzance, Corn- j wall, England. History records that fthis instrument and the owner were ,60 day* making the crossing of the , Atlantic. It wn* first played by Mr. ,Uren when a young man in a Lon­don band. After some y«ara spent inNorth Carolina he came to Ontario taking up a homestead in OxfordCounty and one of his first acquain­tance* was James Ingersoll, after­ ward* Squire Ingersoll, Registrar ofthe County of Oxford from whomthe present town of Ingersoll derived it* name.

Some people had little or no heat from teh furnaces, many had no wayof cooking and hunted out coal oilstoves long discarded—some had to cook food in the furnace—some tookfood to a neighbor fortunate in hav­ ing a coal cook stoce.

Educational and en- VIEW-MASTER DELUXE STEREOSCOPESivi .VIEW-MASTER REELS Modernizing, Improving Works Department, Seen An Urgent Need The recent storm showed one thing if nothing more and that is that this community needs a bigger and modernized works department, The snow and ice on the main street was not touched until three day8 after the storm. True, the department had to clean up a number of falling — and fallen — trees and limbs, but there should be the equipment and part-time staff available if nec­ essary, to ensure that it isn’t days before the main street of the town ig again fit for traffic. To look at Thames Street one would wonder why the army had to go all the way to the Yukon for “Operation Sweetbriar.” A foreman, three men, a bunch of shovels, one truck and grader attachment does not seem nearly enough staff for a community of the size and im­ portance of Ingersoll. Pushing the snow to the curb js no answer in a storm like that of last week — it has to be trucked away. To do that you need cither many meh and shovels, with trucks, or modern equipment and few men. We feel the town fathers should look into the works department situation, with a view to mod­ ernizing and improving it so that cars will not be getting stuck and stalled on the main street days after the snow fell. Active Horticultural Society Always Has Place In Totftl Life Ingersoll once boasted an active, organized and highly regarded horticultural society that did a lot of good for the town, but now that organization is no more than a happy memory living side by side with a vaguely-cherished hope that it may once again become part of the community. It seems wrong that Ingersoll should care so little about the subject as it is in the heart of a rural county. The horticultural society, once one of the largest local organizations, faded into obscurity before the war when its membership dropped to less than a hundred. It may have been largely due to the turmoil of the ensuing years that no attempt was made to put it back on itg feet, or it may have been that the small nucleus of interested men felt that their’s was a hopeless cause. Whatever the reason was, the fact remains that the society remained dormant and as each year passed it dropped far­ ther into oblivion until now at the present time many people living in Ingersoll do not know that such an organization exists — and most of the others have forgotten! Yet much good was done in the town — the beautification of Memorial Park, the keeping of flower beds in public places are only, two instances — by these same horticulturists who were eventually to forget theta original aims and say, “Oh well, what’s the use ... no one is interested anyway.” They were instrumental in getting a separate Parks Board formed away from the council: and there is no better known combination for a town than that of an active horticultural body and an ardent Parks Board. Men who love flowers — who love nature and give thanks to God for their ability to appreciate it — have a common meeting ground whether they live in the humblest shack or the grandest man­ sion. It is a heritage and something worth pre­ serving to hand down to the growing generations. A. F. Carr, A. P. Barker, Frank Leake, Robert Wark, George Janes, A. H. Edmonds, Harry Siv- yer, Bill Miles— just to name a few. You were all ardent members. Ten years have gone by that have probably served only to increase your respect for Behind The Subsidy If a farmer in Ontario wants to grow more wheathe goes ahead and sows it without asking anyone's permission. It is his own business how much or howlittle wheat he grows and most people will agree,it should be his own business. After ail it is his own farm, machinery and labor that are involved.But across the border from Ontario; in New YorkState; in a country which prides itself on being the freest in the world, these matters are handled dif­ferently. There in the name of a local committee aWashington appointed bureaucrat decides how much- wheat and a great many other things the farmer cangrbw. Various allotments are issued and if exceedingone finds himself without a market. One ownet-of a 200-acre farm thought his allot­ment of 13 acres for wheat was on the small side, when he applied for a larger allotment last fall hewas told he would have five minutes on a certainTuesday afternoon to present his case. He was alsotold that if he failed to appear, the authorities mightconsider such failure a waiver of hi^ right to appeal.Naturally this sort of thing aroused some resent­ ment in New York farm circles but when the lawwas questioned came the rea] shock. Because thewheat growing was subsidized with taxpayers* money the Government had a perfect right to reg­ulate the industry, the farmers were told. And whenone thinks that over, why not? Otherwise the Gov­ ernment would have no control whatsoever over thespending of the money it collected from the public.That is something we should remember in thiscountry. In recent weeks there has been a lot of loose talkin Canadian agricultural circles about subsidies forvarious farm lines. Farmers have been told aboutthe many advantages, of how the prices would stay nice and firm even when the market was just theopposite. But they haven’t been told much aboutthe other side of this subsidy business, of the statedictation that is certain to follow.(Financial Pott) HONOR ROLL Ingersoll Public Schools 1.

Many hydro wires werebroken down and twisted with the wind and ice. Citizens were takenback to pioneer days with candles andoil-burning lamps for light. Cows had to be milked by hand, and water hadto be drawn from creeks for cattleand horses. Household supplies were taken from wells, with the old stylehand pump. School has been closedall week. Telephone service has been badlydisrupted with many lines out of or­der. through broken wires, and, much property damage which will takesome time to repair. Although line­men are working long hours in order to get telephone service back to nor­mal a8 quickly as possible. How wedo miss our telephone, perhaps, wewill be doing more visiting amongour neighbors now, since we cannotgreet them by telephone. A very fine maple tree on the resi­dence of Mr. Warren Sadler, was badly dismantled by the ice.

As part of this encouragement, convention delegaterthis week urged that youth begiven a better deal in exhibits and fair management.The important essential in keeping young people interested in farm life is the prospect of making*it pay. If it is to do so, the primary thing is to seethat they are helped in their young and formative years to grasp the essentials of good farming. Theywill be more pleased as they grow into adulthoodto understand ‘these principles than to know that the Government is going to underwrite them per­iodically with subsidies. On that basis it should beeasier than ever before to get our young people interested and sharing in the benefits of research.There is much to be done. Many gaps remain inthe knowledge which the young man can receive from parents and neighbors. The duty of bridgingthose gaps belongs to the farm organizations, andto the educational branches of the Provincial andFederal Departments. But education is not a matterof book learning only. To be practical and to reachthe greatest number effectively, visual training iswhat is needed, and in this respect we are far be­ hind. Proper cropping methods and land use, thepreservation of woodlots and the means to perpet­uate soil fertility are all parts of the conservationknowledge which should be impressed on youngminds. The .way to impress them is to show themthe results which can be gained.An example was the occasion last September when 10,000 people watched the transformation ofa farm at Brooklin, Ontario, by expertk of the De­partment of Agriculture and Ontario AgriculturalCollege. Cultivation methods are revolutionized bycontour and terrace plowing by new pasturing andelimination of old square fields. That illustratedwhat can and should be done with small demon­stration plots throughout the country to prove in practice the findings of research. Many a farmerwould gladly set aside the space if he new that hisand his neighbor’s sons could have practical on-the-spot advice and help from experts. It sounds like a big program. But the knowledgeof conservation which can thu* become a secondnature with young fanners is the best investmentwe can make for them. The convention delegateswere naturally concerned with giving youth greaterincentives of honor and reward at the exhibit stalls.Teach these young people how to farm properly and they will find their own way into the fair* andprize rings.(Globt and Mail) 15 YEARS AGO Thursday, February 28,. 1935 Following rehearsal of St. Paul’sPresbyterian Church, Thursdayevening, election of officers tookplace.

An Important Announcement about NEW MARGENE When the sale of Margarine in Canada became legal 12 months ago, MARGENE was the first brand to appear on the market. At that time Margarine had been banned from Canada for 25 years. There was no way of knowing what flavour and what texture would best appeal to the Canadian palate. In the intervening 12 months, Canada Packers has carried on week-to-week tests to find out exactly thejlavour Canadians wish. We feel we have it in the NEW MARGENE—the flavour and the texture Canadians like. If you have not tasted the NEW MARGENE try it now. SPREAD IT on hot toast. SERVE IT wHh hot vegetable*.

The maintopic when the farmers met each other, say, how are you making out?Isn't it a •l":;4()*l* and such likewords were used.The farmers’ wives, oh my, oh my,had to go back to the back breakingtub washing.

Mr. Sadler Acted Like Bear And Got Stung on Bare Spot ._________ ____ ________ bees MOSSELY — Eliphaz the Temanite,' as a black bear with a large white ione of Job’s friends who tried to com- spot on his back, up to his old trick i fort him, said “Man is born unto *' — •u-!- u------trouble as the sparks fly upward.”Job didn’t altogether believe him, for later on, he told all three or fourfriends, “Miserable comforters areye all.” Job really knew what troublewas too.Trouble is still with us; think ofthe milk producer, poultry and eggproducer, the fruit men, celery men,tobacco men, all hot and bothered about many things. Even The Tri- ,bune editor and staff have mechanicaltroubles, we enjoy hearing about, typewriters and things that go hay-1wire at the most inopportune times,yet the popular idea of a beekeeper’s troubles, is not crop shortages, or ex­tractor breakdowns because of tooheavy honey, neither is it price and value?? nor market demand, toads,skunks or advise good or bad, butSTINGS. Don’t they sting you? Do they sting you? Do you get stungoften? The Answer is Yes The answer to the last questionis yes, everyway and everyday I’mgetting stunger and stunger. . The bee’s sting is primarily a pow­erful weapon of defence, and can be,and is sometimes used for offense. Searching back into the reasons forthis, we are led to remember, that thebees have labored hard down thq ages, to gather from the flowersof the field, the wonderfully sweet,pure and good food, HONEY. Living at the first as the bees did not inman-made hives, but in natural hol­lows in trees or rocks, their enemies were not so often men coming to plun­der and rob them (altho men starteddoing that very early in Bible times) but the larger, animals, bears—andblack ones in particular. This is am­ply -proven by the fact that to this day, bees hate and fear and willviciously sting any black object—skunk, black felt hat or coat or shirt, if that object is nearby and moving.They pay almost no attention to the beekeeper wearing white clothing.This might explain why a skunkwears a white stripe down his back.It all seems an instinctive throw backto the times when black bears werethe bee’s greatest enemy. Of-course, there are many other rules and lawsof bee behaviour, we must obey toavoid being stung. If circumstances and weather and time permits us todoeverything ns and when we should,beekeeping is a pleasure anj^ .every­thing is peaceable and lovely. There has been many times in my40 years of beekeeping, when I either did not know, or else ignored, ordeliberately broke the bee law andsuffered accordingly. Once I acted the part of the bear, climbed a bee tree,and will now try to tell how the beesreacted to my performance of theblack villian of the play. Climbed Bee Trees I used to take a lot of interest inbee trees and the trouble I got intowill make another long chapter. Iusually climbed a ladder to get up to where the bees were in the tree,but on this occasion I [yit on a pair of lineman's spurs and tried climb­ing with them. I was no export, thoI could climb a cedar telephone poleif I! had to. It happened this beetree was a beech and just a little toolarge to get my arms around. I had sense enough to put a loop rope ar­ound my back, under my arms andaround the tree:. I had on a blackbee veil, a dark colored shirt andoveralls, thi8 latter garment some­what old and weak in the seams, andmy wife was there too. She will verifythis story. She laughed when it hap­pened, but I didn't laugh much until later. It wasn’t funny to me at thetime. I wanted to get up that treeabout 25 ft., there were no limbs, and take a look into the bees’ ent­rance hole which looked quite large.I figured if I could do that I could judge whether the colony worth anymore bother.So I started to climb, but that beech bark, so smooth, hard and slip­pery and the wuotl underneath it /?•/ B'nrren Sadler • those hundreds of home-coming i of stealing their honey. Wit The "Bare” Spot But did those little brutes hit for the black and fuzzy body of the bearas all the books say they should havedone? Well, no. They hit the bare O.K. but right on that white spot.Smarting and excited by this actionfrom the rear, I started to climb ’• bi.ck down, but couldn’t take time toshift those spurs into reverse, so I wrapped my arms and legs aroundthat slippery tree trunk and slid rap­idly to the ground. I landed smack onthe southern exposure, cheerfullycrushing the adhering, viciously-stinging little demons that had broken all their own laws. Then my wifelaughed, but made some temporaryrepairs and some remarks about pin­up males and we went away fromthere. Lineman Falls 20ft. Has Lucky Escape Ronald Ward, Embro, a linesmanworking with Ingersoll Rural Hy­dro Department, had a fortunate escape Thursday afternoon when hefell 20 ft. from a pole on to his back. Snow cushioned the impact and hesuffered only a broken wrist and abad shaking up. Ward, said manager Dalton Smith,had just ascended the pole to work on a broken line and was fixing hissafety belt when his hand slippedfrom the rung he was holding and hepitched downward on to his back ina snow-filled ditch. He was taken toAlexandra hospital where he was found to have a broken wrist andwas X-rayed for buck injuries, beingreleased late Friday afternoon. Thirty-five linemen, added therural manager, were—and still are—at work on the broken power lines. "By Saturday we should be seeingdaylight,” was his comment. Morethan 400 breaks over the whole areawere found. The Lord'* Dey Alliance Act isn't designed to "cut out everybody's funon Sunday/' it protects people againsthaving to work that day, like everyother day of the week. This was the message given to theKrwanis Club Thursday night, whenWuMfotnek members were guests ofthe Ingersoll group, by Rev. A, S.McGrath, of St. Thomas, field* sec­retary for Western Ontario, of the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada.Mr. McGrath, introduced by HenryI. Stewart and thanked by FrankLittell, asserted that tho>e urgmg an“open Sunday" were not so much |interested in allowing people to havefun on Sunday, as they were to pro-: mote their own selfish activities ormoney-making propositions.Woodstock guests included Rene1 Davis, who introduced his fellow-1members; Ken Poste, Stu MacMillan,1 Wally Weeks, Art Schultz, Bill Spur-, geon, Al Richards and Glen Mon­teith. Melvin Thornton, of Ingersollwas another guest and two younger guests Were Bill Chisholm, son ofKiwanian E. J. Chisholm, and RalphShipton, son of V. G. Shipton, whoplayed two piano ducts. President Jack Herbert announcedthat at least one bug would be taking Ingersoll Kiwanians, the Bucket ofBlood and the Pipe Band to Galttomorrow night for a joint meetingat which Harold Wilson would beguest speaker. Abe Jewett, Roy Odelland Lloyd Brown sang a motor song and Roy Odell’s birtnday was sung.Mr. Herbert welcomed Reg Henleyback from the south, and Harold Wilson back from overseas. WalterThurtcll reported that the Pipe Bandbingo was quite a success. Mr. McGrath noted it was quite'possible in the near future manyOntario communities would be vot­ ing on “open Sunday”. He said the“Sunday institution” was somethingthat was of religious origin, “and it i must be a pretty good one to^stand thetest of the ages as it has.” “Justbecause it is old,” he said, “is no reason to discredit it.” “Man has believed for centuriesthat it is good to have one day of rest free of the demands of day-to-daytoil,” he went on. “It i8 a good thingto have this kind of day. You are not ever fully compensated by theloss of Sunday by some other day.This day gives the family a chance to be together.” He told how Russiatried to stagger days off, with a re­ sulting loss of production and socialvalues. They found the family hadto have a day all together. Mr. McGrath said workers andemployers Canada-wide had turneddown the “open Sunday”. There is no law against baseball, hockey, ten­ nis or lawn bowling,” he emphasized."There is no prohibition of thesethingy in themselves. If it’s sport orentertainment—there ia no law ag­ ainst it, But it is business—labor onSunday—that the Jaw is aimed at.The law says there must be one day free from labor. People for the “openSunday" are not concerned withsports or entertainment. They are concerned only with their own sel­fish interests or financial profit. Ourlaw leaves it open to the people to make Sunday as they want it, just'so long as they don't make other'people do unnecessary work, of turnsport into business." Mr. McGrath said since the “Sun­day institution” was of religious ori­gin, it* supreme value for the Can­ adian people can be religious. “KeepSunday pre-eminently a day ofreligion, as we Canadians want it.

Eo»t- Wait Bonipiel will bo held at Van­ couver, March 6th to 9th. The Wait champion,. From Quebec City to Kincardine, Canada's pioneer curlers had gathered on the ice of Burlington Bay. It was a crisp February day in 185B and the brothers of the broom were meeting for the country’s first East-West Bonspiel. Thirty-two rinks—or teams—shouted their encouragement round the tees. Many easterners used heavy Iron "stones”, the westerners had granites. Bonneted figures brushed the ice with new vigour as the scores grew closer. But when the last stone skidded to a stop, the westerners sent up a cheer. They had won by 14 points. Today the East-West Bonspiel is one of our major sporting events. With its keen com­ petition and team spirit it’s an example of good sportsmanship. And together team spirit and sportsmanship keep our opportunities for work and play in Canada . unlimited. prosperous looking. They look s* though they have been prosperingfor some time and many of the buil­dings are less than 50 year* old. The farmers won’t admit they are makingmoney!The cattle we saw were mostly RedDanish—a purebred that i* peculiarto Denmark. They are nearly aslarge n3 Holsteins, but somewhatthicker to conformation and very uniform in type. They teat about fourper cent, higher than Holstetos butproduce les* milk. The best herd inDenmark is probably on the farmof A. Ream*nn who is milking 80cows three time* a day and last yearhe had two cows that produced over 1000 pound* of butter fat. The ave­rage of Reimann’s herd would beequal to the best of our Canadian herds. We also saw several herdsthat had an average of over 400pounds of fat for 25 cows on 2X.We were interested in the farm organizations over here. Almost allthe bacon and butter and most of thepoultry products are processed and marketed through producer co-oper­atives. These are well organized andit is said that a side of bacon sold on the British market can be tracedback to the farmer who fed the hog.The Danes are very conscious of quality which is probably why they doso well in the export market.As I mentioned earlier in my let­ ter the Danish Agricultural Councilis the number one organization of it*kind here. It negotiate* prices and largely determines the'agriculturalpolicy of Denmark. Mr. Arne Hog-. uv.,u boro Holm, who ha* been secretary such tidy farms. About 50 per cent.1 of the council for many years, is veryof the land is sod, the balance is, well informed on agricultural mat­ well plowed and there is no evidence «~.k.ki„of weeds anywhere. ' During our motor trip we onlysaw two or three pieces of machin-,ery outside. Of course, labor is1 cheaper and more plentiful than athome; the average farm worker doesnot receive more than half the am- coal and other goods purchased a- ount paid to Canada. The farmsbroad, for Denmark has few natural'here are smaller than our ownresources besides her soil. It is easy i and except for tractors and some to understand why everyone, towns- ~people and farmer8 alike, appreciate the importance of maintaining agri­cultural prosperity and are interestedin farming and farmers. COPENHAGEN — Here we are in Denmark, the home (if you remeberback to your school days) of Shake­thing rotten in the State of Denmark speare's Hamlet. But if there is"something rotten in the State ofDenmark” we haven’t discovered it. In fact everything we have seen andheard has impressed us greatly.It was only a matter of a few hours to fly from the United King­dom to this country. We landed atCopenhagen's modern airport wherewe were met by Otto Rosen of the Danish Agricultural Council whichcorresponds to our Federation ofAgriculture, and Knud Petersen of Det Danake Petroleums Aktieselskab,which is the Danish Esso Company.These two gentlemen accompanied us on a three-day tour of the land of theVikings.Before I launch into an account of our experiences here perhaps youwill be interested in some backgroundinformation. Denmark is an agricul­ tural country of some 4,000,000people of whom about a million livein this fine city of Copenhagen. In­cidentally there seem to be as manybicycles in this city as there arepeople. Just about everybody rides a bicycle and the cyclists have theright-of-way over motor cars. Atbusy hours it is quite a sight to see the streams of bicycles running thr­ough the heart of the city.But to get back to the country. Its economy is based on fanning whoseproducts accounted for 75 per cent,of the country’s exports last year. This year they hope farm productswill account for 80 per cent, of ex­ports which was the pre-war figure. Agricultural products pay for oil,coal and other goods purchased a- for newspaper reporters) interviewedus on our arrival. Three Copenhagendailies carried stories about Canadianfarming the next day. The news­ papers were concerned about compet­ition in the British market. Theywanted to know what we thought ofthe new contracts. The “journalists" plied us withquestion* about our home market,our commodity organizations, our plowing matches and how they arerun. They wished to know how theDanes who have come to Canada are doing. They are definitely interestedin increasing migration to Canada.From what I have seen of Danishfarming I would say the more Danesthat come to Canada the better it willbe for us. Well so much for being in the news,except that as English is spoken andunderstood by everybody here we did not have any difficulty with the to- Our hosts took u« on i 150-mile tour by car through the province ofNorth Zealand during which wevisited farms and observed farming methods. We noticed that most of thefarm buildings are grouped aroundthree and sometimes four, sides of a courtyard with the house on one sideand the stable and feed barns form­ing the other two or three sides. The houses are always close to the barnand often are part of one building.About 90 per cent, of the buildings both houses and barns are paintedand have red tile roofs. Many ofthe barns are made of brick and are about one-and-a-half stories high.I don’t know when I have seen pay off! milking machines they are not ashighly mechanized and so requiremore men.

Msny of you will probably remember having met him at Guelphlast summer when he attended theannual meeting of the InternationalFederation of Agricultural Produ­cers.

I’lljust say in dosing that Denmark is an old country—remember the Vik­ ings?—it is famous for its good farmers and I feel we should wel­ come all her sons she can spare to take up farming in Canada.

We.| must run public affairs in the inter-1 r e»t of the public, not to the benefit| of one or two individuals.” |i Councillor Wurker mentioned thatillness kept him away from his com-r mittee, but he couldn't see any rea­son why the matter couldn’t havebeen held up. There wsa no urgencyabout it. “If I had heard one sug­gestion that the rents were not high jenough, certainly I would have tak­en it up. I do not like the suggestion I that we are not playing ball withthe affairs of the people. Everyaction I take is done genuinely andmost sincerely in the interests of the people. Yqu, Mr. Mayor, are going alittle too far in suggesting we areworking for only a few. You are presuming my opinion, with no Ji grounds for it. You’ve never asked ■I me my opinion.” | “If you can find 10 people whothink 418 is a fair rental for that space, then 1 don’t know my busi­ness/’ said the mayor.“This has been going on for years —you had a chance to fix it,” retort­ed Councillor Wurker, “but you never did. I don't like the machin­ations, behind this action. Mr. Pem­bleton, (chairman of the police committee), can be excused. He’snew at the business.

Several people seem to have the same ideaof cutting wood this week.A number of young people from the community attended the Contin­uation School dance at Mount Elginhall on Friday evening. Councillor Pembleton said asmover of the resolution in commit­ tee, he had no thought of question­ing the integrity of Mr. Wurker,“but I felt something had to be done about this rent situation andif we waited for Mr. Wurker tocome back it might have pushed in­ to April or even May. Members ofthe buildings and grounds commit­tee were present at the meeting, but no objection was raised. There isnothing personal in this; I admireand respect Mr. Healy greatly.”“Of course there’s nothing per­sonal,” said the mayor. “It’s strictly a matter of business.” T.W.
