The poll was conducted prior to "occupations day” at the Collegiate to give Directorof Guidance, Currie Wilson, some idea as to what the boys and girls would like to hear discussed by experts on that day.Twenty local authorities on 20 different occupations and professions addressed pupils from I.C.I., Thamesford Continua­ tion School and grade eight of the public schools at the highschool Wednesday in a program presided over by Principal J. C. Herbert and sponsored by the vocational guidance commit­ tee of the Kiwanis, the board of education and the Collegiatecommittee. Nursing Heads List Heading the list in popularity was nursing, with 60 pupils expressingan interest in it Mrs. R. L. Smith,superintendent of Alexandra Hospi­ tal, spoke on it Then came officework, (clerical, bookkeeping, ac­countant), and George Lockhart of William Stone Sons Limited, was theexpert in that field. Thirty-eightfavored that work. No. 3 was pub­ lic school teacher, with 28 choosingit and A. G. (Murray, publicschools jrincipal. told the pupils about it Only 14, incidentally, saidthey would like to be a high school teacher. Eighteen said they would like tobe a doctor, and another 18 thoughtbeing a secretary was it Drafting came next on the hit parade, with15 choosing it as a profession. Thencame lawyer, high school teacher,dietitian, mechanic, reporter, radio man. airline hostess, (and Inger­soll’s own hostess, Jean Fuller,spoke about that); hairdresser, chemical engineer, engineering, de­tective, fanner and banking, in that order. No one, believe it or not wantedto be a policeman, as such, or a fire­man. Only six selected farming. Only four wanted to be a ministeror a social worker and that mostglamorous of all endeavors—leading a band—got only one vote. So didbeing a dry cleaner, geologist, musicteacher, home economics teacher, baker, typist physiotherapist *ndtelephone operator. And, for good­ness sakes.

In his capacity as treasurer of theCanadian Legion burly, popular Lou Voll had often had the phrase, “OldMoney-bags”, thrown his way. It’s aname that sticks to every treasurer of every organization. But in Lou’scase it sticks more than most peoplerealize because he is the possessor of a very fine collection of oldcoins and stamps — and there's awhole lot of value wrapped up in them. Most of Lou’s coin sets are downin the States at the present moment,being shown in Detroit and Pontiac by his father-in-law, Mr. E. J.Brunsden, Flint, Mich., who is akeen and prominent numismatist in the States. It was from Mr. Bruns­den that Lou first found his interestin coins, some six years ago. Prim­ arily, however, Lou is a stamp en-thusias’. “There's more scope inthis country for them than for coins," he explains. There are, headds, some 100,000 different coinsthat have been minted in the United States—which should give even themost ardent collector plenty to aim Education and Religion is Panama Canal. There are four of them, two *50 pieces and two *10coins. The value of them today isquoted at *1,798. His collection of coins isn’t, stric­tly speaking, all coins because he hasquite a few pieces of paper money too. Such as a set of old Americanfractional notes in denominations ofone, two, five, ten and twenty cents: some Canadian ones, too. Just ima­gine the fun you could have todayif those notes were still in circulation. Theme at Y’s Men ITS A START of *3,000.00—slightly less than irst throe days oftotal *38 trickled the Tribune it the Imperial Bank, Four Accidents ■ Keep Police Busy Four accident* took place in Ing­ ersoll Friday. At noon the left rearfender of Thoma. E. Jackson’s auto­mobile was struck by a truck driven by J. Durno, Toronto. Since the roadwas slippery no charge was laid.Damage to Jackson’s car is estimated at *160.Later on in the afternoon a Beem­er’s taxi driven by Jimmy Bragg of Ingersoll ran into the side of a cardriven by Jack Dawsons of BellevilleDamage to Dawsons' car was estima­ ted at *150 and to Beemer’s taxi *200.Constable Harold Chislett investiga­ted both accidents. While Constable Dennis Alsop wason shift two more accident* occurred.A car owned by George Wm. Fling,of 268 Tunis street, Ingersoll, struck a car owned by Mary Arsenault, 232Finkle St, Woodstock driven by C. Dekegal. Damage to the Fling caris stimated at *45. No charge hasbeen laid. Lastly a car owned and driven byDorothy Cragg, 111 Chirle* St W.,Ingersoll, skidded on the icy pave­ment into the side of a transport driven by Thomas W. Sales, RtR. 4,Brantford. Damage to the truck asa result of the impact was a blown tiro and the damage to the car wasto the left rear fender only. G.N.R. Gets Land To Move Switch Yards, End Jams Preliminary steps toward moving the C.N.R. switching yards furtherwest of Thames street and the sta­tion are being taken, it is learned. The C-N.R. is buying, leasing or get­ting options on property on VictoriaSt, out to McKeand in order to develop the switching yards.The move is to eliminate as far as possible crossing jams caused byswitching across the main highway. The coins and stamps vie quite abit and Lou confesses that a moveby his father-in-law to swap hisCanadan Stamp collection for Lou’s coin collection has him undecided.He mentioned one stamp that heneeds to complete a set. It is worth *1,100 on the market now—whereI’ll ever get THAT I don’t know,"smiles Lou. The pride of place in his coin col­lection goes to an Iceland set—oneof those being shown in the States— that was issued to commemorate 100years of self - government. Only1,000 sets were issued and of these 837 are known to exist. “Some col­lectors", he says, will buy ten orfifteen sets and dstroy most of them so that those they have left will beincreased in value.” Then there’s another set known asthe Pan-American set which wereissued on the completion of the “Education and Religion”, was thesubject of Rev. J. M. Ward’s address to the Y’s Men’s lub Monday even­ing, when he was introduced byHerm Lindsey. He pointed out how education and religion have alwaysdovetailed together, each rounding out the other. “A well-educated person mustbring bis religion to the fore- He must be able to adjust himself to hisenvironment. There is a great dealof difference between the acquire­ ment of facts and of knowledge,”said the Baptist minister, presidentof the ministerial association. “Man”, he continued, “must rulehis prejudices and not be ruled bythem. Our morals and religious be­ liefs are prejudices and they canserve him if he will let them.” Hewas thanked by Jack Love. Entertainment was provided byRon Billings who delighted thfe gath­ering with his rendition of two numbers. Ross Hurst led a sing­song, with Eddy Ide at the piano.Archie Hubert reported on the Min­ or Hockey League and Cam Baileyreported that the concert plannedfor March 24th is ready. Janus Negres will be the soloist. Parents, Students, Teachers Pack Around The Town For a moment we thought we had a real story on our hands. A TorontoStar report told of three Torontomen, F. A. Hamilton. Gorrell Sutton and Jack Simmons having a narrowescape from death when their boatupset in sub-zero water andweather—in the Manitoulin area. It described the men as “employeesof an Ingersoll firm." Just as weare getting all excited, we discov­ ered that the men worked for afirm called the Ingersoll So-and-So, but The Star, for convenience, justsaid, "an Ingertoll firm.” Anothergood story shot. By-law number 2088, authorizing the highest-ever mill rate struck in Ingersoll, was passed in council Monday nightin 25 minutes, with practically no comment. The rate, as re­ ported in last week’s Tribune, was set at 62.7 mills.Only comment on the by-law was made by Councillor Tom Morrison, chairman of the finance committee, who des­ cribed the jump of 7.7 mills from 1949 as "due to things nec­essary heaping on to us all at once.’" "The honeymoon is over for a while” said Mr. Morri­son, "and we cannot take on any more responsibility. It was made after very, very diligent research into the activities of each department and I wish to pay my respects to the clerkfor his work on this, the biggest budget in the history of thetown. I don’t think we can take on one additional five cents’ worth of expenditure until we can see our way to liquidate."Council adjourned at 8.40 just one hour and ten minutes after they sat, thus ending many long nights of figuring and deciding on the lowest possible operating margin for the town in 1950. Town Clerk Elmer Winlaw commented that the ratemeant that a ratepayer supportirig the public school and who is serviced by the sewage system will pay 62.7 mills. One who is not serviced by the sewage system will pay 48.7 mills. Sep­arate school supporters serviced, will pay 61.6 mills and not serviced will pay 47.6. Education was named by Councillor Morrison as thenumber one increase, accounting for 4.1 mills. Debentures ate up 1.4, sewer rental 1.7, Maintenance of the sewage dis­ posal plant 0.8. A general decrease on the general tax rate of 0.3 makes the 7.7 increase. Fine Day For I.C.I.

Resting at the Keeler andJohnstone Funeral Home, 125 Duke Street. Funeral arrangements notcompleted. A great number of parents, some accompanied by their children, tookadvantage of Education Week Mon­day night and attended Open House at Victory Memorial school. The■children's school books and specialprojects were on display in their var­ ious classrooms and the teaching staffwere present to talk wjth the parentsof the children. Many educational die­ plays were shown on conservation,history, geography and the excellentart work the children have been doing as school assignments.In the .music room, musical director Mr. Luther, had planned two pro­grams. The first by the choir in MissPeck’s room 5A and the second bythe grade 8 double trio. Both these concerts were greatly attended andhighly enjoyed by the parents and friends.Classes were also held in the home1 economics room, where the older girls■ were sewing and cooking, while in ' the woodworking and drafting de-1 partment the boys were industriouslyputting to-gether small tables.

House at Victory Memorial school.Wednesday afternoon, the pupils ofthe Collegiate had a special educationperiod in vocational guidance and tonight, official opening of the ad-. dition to Princess Elizabeth Schooli will be held along with their Open House. Poor Tom Cars Skid Damage Mounts “Adding insult*to injury”, is the way Tom Jackson laughingly descri­bes it, and we’re inclined to agree.Friday round about noon, Tom’s car and a truck did a comparativelyminor job of sideswiping each otheron the slippery pavements of Charles St. East.Too bad—but not bad enough. AsTom patiently waited for the tow truck to come along and haul himaway another car came up behindhim, skidded, and ended up guess where?Another *77 was added to Tom’sprevious bill of *88 for damage. TCECOPADES* Fire Department Helpless As Flames Gut Building CARD OF THANKS Mr*. Matilda Wade, Cherry St.wishes to thank all her neighbor*,friend* and relative# who so kindly sent her flowera, plant* and beauti­ful card* and gifts and who in anyway helped to make her 87th birth­day such a pleasant one. If a suggestion made at the Ox­ford County Police Association's, meeting Monday night is acted uponfun and fur should fly at the arenaone evening in the not too distantfuture. The Oxford County Associationthrew out a weighty challenge totheir London comrades to. tilt to thedeath on ice—one game, goals to count, and no swearing at the referee.If you’ll pardon the pun, as we saidabove, Tcecopades’. A raging inferno of flames des­troyed the upholstery business of Clifford Helmuth, North Town Linelate last night as the fire departmentstood helplessly by waiting thearrival of the ladder truck with ex­ tra lengths of hose. Neighbours andonlookers formed a bucket chain butwere unable to offer anything more than token resistance to the firethat was estimated by Mrs. Helmuthto have caused in the region of *1,500 of damage. How the fire started is a mystery to the Helmuths. They have a stovein the two-story barn in which Mr.[Helmuth stored the furniture hewas working on but, said his wife, it had been out all day. When the firebegan Mr. Helmuth rushed out barefoot and in his underwear intdbelow-freezing night air to drive atruck to safety that had been parkedbetween the gutted building and agarage. Unable to combat the flames,Fire Chief Dick Ellis explained that the building was outside the townlimits and his truck did not carrysufficient length of hose to reachthe blaze. It was nearly twenty min­ utes before the other truck reachedthe fire and by that time the building was almost gutted. A Call for Help Sam Gibson was a visitor to TheTribune office, it being his first time out in many months. He re­ports he is feeling better, thank you. The Canadian Red Cross, devoted to helping others, hasitself sent out a cal] for help. It needs money to carry out t^ose many services whichhate saved the lives of thousands and benefited the tens of thousands. First aid courses, water-safety programs, blood banks, (one of which will be installed in the new Alexandrahospital), outpost hospitals, disaster relief . . . these are but afew of the ’many things they do. But it takes money----a lot of it And that is where you and I come in.Ingersoll and area is asked for 13.000, less than 60 cents per person for everyone in Ingersoll, Send or bring in your contribution today—GIVE AT ANY BRANCH BANK, or at THE INGERSOLL TR1BUN& . 115 THAMES ST. Public School Trustees Vote Selves $5. Stipend In line with most other schoolboards in the province, the Ingersoll Public Schools Board Tuesday nightvoted themselves *5 a meeting for amaximum of twelve meetings a year as allowed in the regulations. Onlydissenting vote was cast by TrusteeClark Pellow who commented, “Youare paid to be qualified and I don’t feel I am qualified to be paid.”“It is not pay, but a token am­ount for expenses,” said Trustee W. Leaper, who moved the resolution.“It is the general trend—otherboards are taking it,” added A. J. McKenzie, who seconded the resolu­tion.“Five dollars is neither here northere,” waa Trustee George Clifton’s opinion. Trustee Gordon Henry wasnot present at the meeting.Enrollment was reported by sup­ ervising principal A. G. Murray as883 at the two schools and averageattendance dally 92 per cent. Hewished happiness to L. Pickard, who recently retired as caretaker of Prin­cess Elizabeth school and said thatat the Open House held at the Vic­ tory Memorial school Monday slightlyover 400 people were present. “Weare pleased to see the interest takenby the parents,” Mr. * *• •* commented.The number of beginners, he saidwas expected to be approximately th< same as it was last year, though hidid not know for sure. Trustee ClariPellow complimented him on the ex cellence of the Open House.The board also decided to rene*membership in the Ontario SchooTrustees and Ratepayer’s Assort a tlon and their subscription to tinPublic School 'Argus* magazine. An interesting day was spent by <the students of XIIA, XIIC and iXIII of the Ingersoll Collegiate I when they journeyed to Toronto by 1bus on Friday, March 3. The educa­tional tour was under the guidance <of Principal J. C. Herbert and Miss 1 E. Barber.The day began with a visit to theRoyal Ontario Museum. The students were very interested and amazed atthe many historical and ancient col­lections in the museum. The wea­ pons of war, the clothing, and thefurniture of seventeenth and eight- i eenth century life as well as thestatues and relic* from many coun- itries, held the attention of the stu­ dents.After lunch at the museum, theclass journeyed to the Parliament Buildings. *•They arrived at the parliamentBuildings at 1.10 and Harold Crel­ lin took a picture while they werestanding on the steps of the mainentrance.Then the guide took them into the legislature. He explained that theparty in power sat to the right ofthe Speaker’s Chair and the opposi­ tion on the left. He pointed out theseats of the Honorable Leslie Frost,T. R. Dent, M.P. for Oxford Coun­ty, and Miss Agnes [McPhail, the only .woman member. He then re­lated the history of the building and translated the Latin inscriptions oneach of the pillars. Of interest wasthe fact that the designs of the frescoes were all different.Then it was down to the hallwhere they saw the pictures of all the parliaments since 1867. A pain­ting of a soldier dying on the bat­tlefield held them spellbound, for on closer observation the figure ofJesus Christ hovering over the bodyi could be seen. Left on their own, were free toi explore the building and wander I happily around until 1.45 when theyi had to take their seat* in theWest Gallery. The session begani at 2 p.m., and the proceedings held their interest, one student latersaying that the page boys, in their black suits, were particularly fascin­ating as they carried out their dutiesand errands. At approximately 7.15 the stu­dents proceeded on a brief tour ofCasa Loma, the beautiful castle­ home, built by Sir Henry Pellatt inI 1906, at a cost of three million dol-I lars. Sir Henry soon lost his money t and home and now Casa Loma, cov- k ering an area of three aSres, is op- erated by the Kiwanis club. The tourincluded the dance hall, conserva­tory, oak room and a hall identical to one in Windsor castle.There the expedition came to anend and * the students, returnedhome after a profitable day. Up The Creek And No Paddle John Thompson, of Ingersoll, forVKfew exciting momenta last week, pretty well figured his last momenthad come. Johnny was belting through Tham-esford m that well-known jeep ofhis when suddenly, he says, hi8 steer­ing shaft broke, and there he was, as they say, up the creek without apaddle. The wheel just spun in hishand, and it wa9 a case of whither thou goest, so go I. And so he did.Into a snow bank at the edge of the road. No one was hurt.But had he been going faster, onthe open highway, things might havebeen different. TWO CREDIT UNIONS NOW IN INGERSOLL Delegates from employees, parishand community credit unions gather­ ed in the London Public library tohear how these co-operative savingsand loan societies had progressed dur­ ing 1949. This was the fifth annualmeeting of the London and DistrictCredit Union Chapter which now has member credit unions in Woodstock,Ingersoll, Stratford and Norwich. Joe Best of the chapter’s organiza­tion committee said seven credit un­ions were started last year. Two wereamong employees of the Ingersoll Machine Co. and the Morrow Screwand Nut Co. These were the first credit union* in Ingersoll. Sees Two Months Ere Phones Fixed The Ingersoll Telephone Co’swhole system won't be back In shapefor at least two months,- according to Henry Stewart, general man­ager. A drive out of Ingersoll inany direction tells why—there are still hundreds of poles and mazesof wires down. The heavy snow fallafter the icestorm further compli­ cated the problem. G.

THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1950 Everyone Must Help If Red Cross is to Continue Despite all the perplexities »nd worries of pre­ sent day living there is still predominant in all of ua that desire to lend a helping hand to a fellow man in distress. It is there, probably, because our own fundamental wish is for a happy existence: to live our lives as we want tq and to feel, should an unexpected disaster befall us, that there is some­ one we can rely on for aid and for comfort. That is why the Red Cross came into being— has continued and flourished—and why it will always be there when it i5 most needed and where it is most needed. It is that fundamental spark of human kindness and warm generosity that succm-x the Red Cross organization in so many countries of the world. The self-same spark that flares out into the black night of despai> like a brilliant beacon, gutting the unfortunate to warmth, comfort and hope—giving renewed courage to face the empty light of another day. This year again the Red Cross is extending an invitation to YOU. An invitation to help keep that spark alive. An invitation to Join with millions of your country-men in ensuring that when disaster strikes, whether in your own home or thousands of miles distant, the beacon will be there to bring relief in the darkness of some weary, shattered It is your chance to help someone. To help restore confidence to a human being who has given his all, only to find it was not enough. You will help, won’t you? How Can One Be So Mean To Kill Dog and Run Away This is a message to one person. We hope he reads it”— and we hope he remembers. We hope, even, that it may trouble his mind. The person this message is intended for was driving up Oxford Street Friday when the car hit a dog. Don’t worry, nobody took down the license number of your car because nobody saw it happen. The dog, a pretty, black cocker spaniel, was found lying in the middle of the road. It was very dead. You didn’t stop to see if it was still alive, although it happened a few steps from a veterinarian’s house. You didn’t bother to stop and find out who the dog belonged to. In shorty you didn’t care did you? We’re not blaming you for the accident because we know only too well how those things happen. Probably the dog ran out under your wheels before you could do anything and the road was icy. We are condemning you for the rest of your actions, though. The dog belonged to an eight-year-old girl — it was a birthday present — and she loved it. Her parents both were Very fond of the little animal too. When she came home from school, for the first time in a year, her pal wasn’t there to jump at her, wagging its tail, barking because it was happy to see her again. What could her mother say other than she found her daughter’s pet lying mangled, cold and dead in the centre of the road? Do you think it was easy? When a dog has been around a house for a while the occupants of that house become attached to it, you probably wouldn’t understand why. How do think they felt? The little girl’s father is a heavy transport driver and would understand how it hap­ pened. Had you stopped, found who the dog belonged to, and told them how sorry you .were and taken it to the vet’s, they would have^felt better about ' It. But you weren’t interested in whether the ani­ mal was dead or not — you didn’t care that- some­ one had to tell that young child. We hope you read thia, and we hope it hits home. ' We hope you remember that black cocker spaniel lying in the middle of the road. It might have lived if you bad stopped. This Modern Art Takes Some Understanding Sitting writing this editorial, we have propped up bestte us a copy of a New York fashion magazine—one of the best of its kind'and admirably turned out. Thumbing through the pages we stumbled on to some art entitled “The Couple", by Hedda Sterne. It is quite obviously ‘modern* art and quite frankly we’ve seen* (and ourselves done) more art­ istic drawings by kiddies of three. A colleague came across to our desk, looked at the full-page illustra­ tion, and remarked, “Who’s been doodling?” That is Just what it looks like—as if some aimleu some-. one has been doodling on an expensive, but other­ wise blank piece of paper. Drawn in pencil, the design (it can hardly be termed anything else) is a series of penciled straight lines that bears no earthly resemblance to anything alive, dead, or that ever existed in man’s imagination. By the title one can presume that it is the artist’s conception of a man and woman—or a boy and girl —or two fire hydrants. It is obviously two of something else why call it “The Couple”?

Maybe we’re just plain decadent If we are we intend to stay that Inyerwll, Ontario, Thursday, March 9,1960And Help a Crippled ChildDuring the nest few weeks, beginning March 18, more than 160 service dubs thimtghuut Ontario, including our own Kiwanis dub, will engage in an on behalf of an organisation of which they form a vital and vigorous part whose objective cattoot help but appeal to everyone. That objective is the meeting of medical and surgical skill with children who often otherwise would not receive such attention. The Ontario Society for Crippled Children has grown from a big idea with a small beginning to the point where today it aligns scares of people m a chain of cura­ tive effort for hundreds of children. Its methods are simple. In this scientific age we have the skills to correct conditions which cripple. Yet we also have countless children either born with deformities or stricken by such plagues as polio. Many such children, in fact most of those who are most seriously affected, live in remote area* or in communities where specialized attention is not available. Many are children of families with insufficient funds to provide such attention. Through its district nurses, each specially trained and recognized by the government as qualified or­ thopaedic instructors, these children are sought by contact with local medical officers, school officials and similar authorities. Clinics are held to which the Society brings outstanding consultants,—vol­ unteers from famous hospitals. Here diagnosis is made, treatment prescribed and, if needed, arrange­ ments made for hospitalization. This service is sponsored in local centres by ser­ vice clubs. Upon the clubs fall heavy expenses. The volume of benefits to children has grown tremen­ dously in recent years; so has the cost Every seal sold for this cause means the. work can continue and another child will be helped. Remember this when you are offered Easter Seals this year. Something Has To Be Done About The Works Department Four accidents involving cars, trucks or both oc­ curred in. Ingersoll on one day last week-end, and in every case the basic cause was icy streets. You couldn’t say icy pavements, because the pavement couldn’t be seen — and wouldn’t be visible yet had not the sun come out one day. It all adds up to one thing — a more active, modernized works department is required. It is not possible to keep the streets of a commun­ ity the size and importance of Ingersoll in shape with a works department comprising several eld­ erly gentlemen with shovels, a truck and a grader. Good equipment and younger, and more active men are the only answer. It is not fair to ask an older man to get out all hours of the night, in the worst of weather, to dear off snow, or lay down sand. But that is what has to be done if our streets are to be properly cleared and not be a menace to every motorist, whether resident or passer-by. Ingersoll’s main street iB narrow enough as it is without piling a heavy snowfall up to the curbs. But that is what was done. As we said, it would have been there now — yet — had not the sun come out. But a few busy men, with modem equipment, and all that could have been carted off Thames St, at least while the rest of the town slept. That’s the way it is done elsewhere. It could be done that way here. We hope the town fathers will look into the sit­ uation.

The use of ferret, wifi also be prohibited. The bagUnfit of cottontails haB been placed at six a day inall townships of Ontario. Lands and Forest Minister Scott stated that the measure is designed to makaenforcement of township licensing systems moreeffective. Such a change should prevent some of the town­ships adjacent to cities and towns being overrun byhordes of hunters equipped with only a gun, a gun license and the notion to shoot anything that moves,anywhere. These people are the bane of the farmer’slife and a constant nuisance to him. If he wants to shoot off the rabbits or groundhogs on his ownplace he can do it himself. It may add a little totownship revenues. In recent years the so-called sportsman has deve­loped numerically, and in lethal powers. His killing capacity is greater than ever and increases withevery high-powered nfle, every new automatic fishlure. The effect of this is fen. more in NorthernOntario than down here in the south, but the trendis everywhere evident. Governments, as they are more conservation-min­ded—as the people are gradually becoming—will have to find way. to reduce this destruction of wildlife if we are to conserve our natural resource, inuanada.

You will beaware that shortly after my return to England, the pound was devalued.Since that time business conditionshave gone from bad to worse.

It is the family doctor a health campaign.In these days of universal literacy,when people can read in every home magazine and in many books and ineveryday's newspaper about advan­ces in medicine; in these days whenit ig .the privilege of men and womenin a free country to insist on an answer to their why?: in the faceof these conditions, the doctor is nolonger an aloof oracle or a dispenserof chits which are sacred talismen because they bear his symbol.The medical profession in Canada has done distinguished work. Withevery advance in medical science,members have put into their daily practice the new techniques thathave been discovered/ and they havemade their own important contribu­ tions to world medicine.

Who Else Should Help? The success of a crusade for healthin Canada will be conditioned by theenthusiasm with which they work, number taking part and the informed.It is a big enough project, with'rewards great enough, to merit thestrongest support of every man andwoman.Why not make health—and parti­ cularly children’s health—the mamtopic of discussion at Home and Sch­ ool Association meetings, meetings ofwomen’s clubs, men’s church societies,adult education groups, teachers’ an­ nual conventions, community clubs—at every gathering of socially-mindedCanadians? Can anyone think up a better, more rewarding, topic?Canada needs, according to a sur­vey reported to the Canadian' Public Health Association: promotion ofpreventive medical techniques, con­trol of communicable disease, a health consultant service on teaching staffs,a record of each student’s medical his­tory, and continuous supervision ofstudent health. Well, let’s get them.They are all attainable. And then, when we have done allthese things in the way of publiceffort, school instruction and medi­ cal proficiency, we come back, afterall, to the home. It is upon the example, guidanceand understanding of parents thatchildren’s health depends most. The parents’ responsibility is notone that can be met by expressinglove and affection only, but by in­ formed good sense and necessary act­ion. The “love” that holds back achild from inoculation against disease, or from hospital treatment, or froma needed operation, or from periodi­ cal medical examination, is a mis­guided tenderness that takes no thou­ght of end results.(Royal Bank Bulletin) The Dance of The Honey Bee “When a worker bee discovers a rich source of nectar or pollen, sheinforms the other inmates of the hiveof her find, by performing a dance on the comb after her return", saidC. A. Jamieson, Dominion Apicul-turist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, describing the experimentsof Professor K. Von Frisch to an in­terested group at the recent Ontario Bee Keepers’ Convention.Mr. Jamieson said that the findingsof the well known Austrian scientist, Reported recently in the publicationNature, were beginning to throwlight on many of the habits of honey­ bees, hitherto only guessed at by bee­keepers, naturalists and others inter­ested in the intricate organization within the hive. Prof. Frisch’s as­tonishing observations, he said, werecausing wide-spread interest in scien­ tific circles. The new theory concern­ing the methods of communicationamong worker bees has far-reaching implications regarding the capabili­ties of a bee’s sense organs andbrain. When the worker bee returns fromher reconnaissance flight in searchof nectar, her dance apparently var­ ies with the tidings she wishes toconvey to her fellow’ workers. Beesnearby follow her in the dance, be­come excited at the news she commu­nicates to them, and then suddenlyout they go to search for the foodsource she has indicated. Quite early in the work it was not­iced that there were two types of Idances performed, one termed the "round dance” and the other the“wnggle dance”, each carrying itsown particular significance as to distance and direction. For instanceif the food source was within 100yards, the round dance was perfor­ med. This dance apparently indica­tes the general direction and distance, and the exact spot is found from anodour similar to that adhering tothe dancer. Greater distance seemedto call for more detailed direction, as“explained” in the “waggle dance"and Professor von Frisch had found these directions accurate to threedegrees. tune in smokes.

ULSTER:- It’s been more than amonth since we boarded the Queen Mary at New York to sail to theUnited Kingdom. Since then we’vebeen around quite a bit, visiting points in England, Denmark andWest Germany. Now after spendingfour days in the Netherlands we are in Ulster. But before describing ourexperiences in Northern Ireland 1’Utry to pick up where I left off in mylast letter, the one from Germany. We travelled by train from Ham­burg to Holland where we were metat The Hague by D. A. Bruce Mar­ shall, the agriculturist specialist ofthe Canadian Embassy. Many ofyou will remember Bruce's father, the late Senator Duncan Marshall.The senator was at one time mini­ster of agriculture for Ontario and did much to encourage the raisingof purebred cattle as well as otherimprovements in Canadian agricul­ ture. Bruce wa, a great help to usand acted as our guide and inter­preter throughout our visit We have been told that Holland isa small country with a large popu­lation and everything we saw tended to bear this out The farms are sosmall that they can no longer be div­ided up to hand on to descendants of the families that occupy them. As aresult, about 180,000 people leaveagriculture each year. They must bidding. This also meant there wasonly one bidder. This system seemsto maintain prices at a very highlevel. During our stay at The Haguethe Canadian Ambassador, Hon.Pierre Dupuy, gave a dinner in our honor. It was a wonderful dinnerand was attended by many Dutchgovernment officials. At the dinner I presented three of the Canadianmaple trees I brought with me to theDutch government. When the wea­ther improves the Dutch authorities are going to plant them in the Can­adian cemeteries over there.I might say that the maple trees, which 1 presented as a symbol of Can­adian fellowship and esteem for theoverseas countries, were well received everywhere. At Copenhagen I plantedone at the veterinary college. AtNewquay, in Cornwall,' where the boys plowed their first match soon Jafter arriving in the U.K. I planteda maple and presented one to the city. It is to be planted in the citysquare some time later.It was in Belfast that they made a big ceremony out of the treeplanting. I planted one in the citysquare and the Lord Mayor, Mr. W. Johnston and other dignitaries wereon hand. It was quite an honor, forthe Lord Mayor told me it was thefirst tree planted in the city square by any other man than a member ofroyalty. The last tree planted therewas an oak and it was planted by the Duke of Windsor when he wasPrince of Wales.That was one of the highlights of our week in Ulster. We came hereafter a day in London when we were guests of Col. J. S. P. Armstrong,the Ontario Government Agent-Gen­eral, at a luncheon. We had flown, tcLondon from The Hague and the trip was uneventful. We went from Lon­don by train and then by boat toBelfast and that, too, was a fairlyuneventful trip. Here the boys took part in the in­ternational plowing match at Mullusk just outside of Belfast. It was a dirtyday but there were a fair numberof spectators on hand. Jim Ecclescame 8th in a class of 38 which >n- cQadedi six plowmen from Sweden.They use Irish plows and the Irishpeople said Jim did exceptionally well. I thought so too for Jim hadonly one day's practice on the highcut plow. Ag I said before, we spent a weekin Ireland and it was the busiestweek I’ve ever spent. We were takeneverywhere and only one night did I manage to get to bed before 2 a.m.Irish hospitality defies description. It's overwhelming. On one occasionI must have had six cup8 of teawithin less than two hours and that’s a record for me.Another experience that standsout in my mind was meeting of JimKernaham, assistant to the minister of agriculture for Ulster. Duringour conversation we discovered thathis grandmother and my grandmother were sisters.But I think you’ve had enough fornow. By the time you are reading this tetter we will probably be back inCanada after a visit to Scotland. I’lltell you about that in my next letter. It's b«en a wonderful experience be­ing over here but we'll be glad to seeCanada again. ' WITH A CHRYCO FUEL TANK LOCKING CAP!

Wewere told that Holland looks to Can­ ada to receive a8 many Dutch im­migrants as possible. From my Observations I would saythe Dutch are an industrious lot and 1 feel the same about them as I doabout the Danes—that is, that Can­ada should admit as many of them as she can absorb.As we expected, Holland ia theland of windmills and dikes. Wecould understand' this when we lear­ ned that more than 30 per cent, ofthe country is below sea level. The Dutch are finding it very costly toreclaim the land they flooded whenthe Nazis invaded their country. Youreally have to go there and see for yourself to realize how much workis involved in maintaining the dikesand manning the pumping stations that keep the sea out. It’s an amaz­ing country.

And, even medi­cal science cannot lead the world tothat state without the co-operationof the individual citizen.For instance, Pasteur’s discoverythat pasteurization eliminates dang­ erous bacteria from milk has not beenput to full use. In Canada, only twoprovinces—Saskatchewan and Ont­ ario—have legislation calling formilk pasteurization, and, while manymunicipalities in the other eight pro­ vinces have covering by-laws, it isestimated that 35 per cent of themilk consumed by Canadians is un- pasteurized. This estimate is made by“Health Facts", special publicationissued by the Health League of Can- ada which states “this is a serious situation." a tFrom this it can be seen that the discoveries of the medical scientistscan be made to work, but only ifthey are accepted and made use of by citizens at large. Pasteurization isa proven health protector, yet it stillmeets with opposition. It i8 said many present-day oldsters neverheard of pasteurized milk in theiryouth, yet reached their presentages without much trouble. Suchclaimants, however,' fail to mentionthe number of persons who today have deformities, many of them crip­pling, suffered as a result of milk-1bejne diseases. They also fail to I mention the number of persons oftheir generation who died from these same infections.Then there is the argument that food values arc destroyed by past-eurization. Competent medical auth­orities state that there is no evid- ence that pasteurization destroys anyfood element of which raw milk hasan adequate supply — rememberingthat even milk is not a completefood. Pasteurized, or unpasteurized, it i8 deficient in Vitamin C. Ottawa - Worker* of th* two greetlabor congre**e* of Canada are urged to support the March appeal of theCanadian Red Crews Society for35,000,000, by both president* of theirorganization*.President A. R. Mosher, CanadianCongres* of Labor, and President P.R. Bengough, The Trade* and Labor Congreaa of Canada, gave unqualifiedendoraation to the campaign.No organisation, Mr. Mosher de­clared, is more alert to help in easesof communal suffering, and few or­ganization* have been able to obtainso many volunteer helpers. “The reason for thi8 is that everyone associated with the Red Crossappreciated the importance of thework which it is doing, and the sat­isfaction which comes from devotedservice to those in need of help.”More than half tfee deaths and ser­ ious injuries caused by accidents inCanada are the direct result of ignor­ance and lack of advance training, according to Dr. Harvey Doney, nat­ional director of the Canadian RedCross Disaster Services.Self-help in the case of disaster can save many lives now lost throughignorance or panic, he thinks. The best rule, he added, wag toprepare before the emergency bytraining in first aid, and personaland water safety. Red Cross classes in these subjects are maintained bysubscriptions to the national appealfor $5,000,000 being conducted by the Society this March.In 1949, nearly 1,500 studentswere qualified as standard first aiders in Red Cross classes. Morethan 41,000 men, women and child­ren attended Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety classes in 1949.Red Cross also operates 124 high­way First Aid posts in five provin­ ces, an increase of 57 in the lastyear, and maintains approximately90 more jointly with St. John Am­ bulance Association in two otherprovinces.Red Cross blood flows in the vein8 of more than 100,000 Cana­dian civilians who have been trans­fused with free blood or blood pla­ sma since the beginning of theBlood Transfusion Service in 1947.More than 173,000 Canadians, in this peacetime period have givenone or more donations of their ownblood that their friends and neigh­bors and strangers they have neverseen have a better chance for life.This is the heartening record of the Canadian Red Cross Society’sBlood Transfusion Service, accord­ing to Dr. W. S. Stanbury, nations! director.Canada’s Governor - General hascharacterized thi8 service, now op­ erating in eight provinces and soonto be extended, as “one of the great­ est health ventures ever undertakenby a volutary' organization.”George Drew and M. J. Coldwell,leaders of opposing political parties, Joined in endorsing the campaign.“It is essential to our own well­being that this work go on withoutlet or hinderance,” declared Mr.Coldwell, national CCF leader. “We cannot fail an organization whichserves u8 all so well.”“The Red Cross does its work with such quiet efficiency that I think weare sometimes inclined to overlooktheir many day by day acta of mercy and think only of the great role theRed Cross plays in time of disaster,”Mr. Drew stated.

ONTARIO THE CARLING BREWERIES LIMITED Don’t Plant Seeds Won’t Have Weeds Seed drill surveys in Canada showthat many of the weeds which Taterfanners fight by cultivation and che­ mical weed killers, are there becausethey were planted along with thecrop. One of the simplest ways of re­ ducing weeds on the farm, is not toplant them. But they will be plantedunless care is taken to sow only seed that is a8 free from weed seed as ishumanly possible.Much of the seed used in Canadais still farm grown and is cleanedon the farm. It is false economy notto clean it thoroughly. It should notbe a matter for congratulation if the material screened out is not large,unless there is assurance that the re­ maining seed is clean and as freefrom weed seeds and other materialas possible. Small seeds in particu­lar, such as clover, alsike, and redclover, are not easily cleaned, andthese seeds are often sown when they would be classed as “rejected”under the regulations of the DominionSeed Act, or at best would grade only No. 2 or 3. Many progressive far­mers prefer not to sow No. 3 seed.A simple purity seed test can bemade by spreading about a pound ofseed on a clean surface in a goodlight This should be carefully picked over and all foreign seeds removed,and the general quality of the seedand the size of the kernels should be noted. This test will give a good in­dication as to whether the seed shouldbe recleaned. If any noxious weeds are found, or if there is reasonabledoubt of the purity or quality of theseed after recleaningH it is advisable to obtain other seed.

Cia.il In this picture are shown six of the mostfamous speedboat drivers in the world, of which three are almost certain to be ridingin the forthcoming Harmsworth challengerace at Detroit, Sept. 1 and 2. Taken in New York, when eight men were named chartermembers of the most exclusive 100-miie-an-hour club, the picture shows, left to right: Dan Arena, driver of Such Crust; HoraceDodge, owner and part-time driver of My Sweetie; Harold Wilson, only non-Ameri-ican in both this club and the Gulf Hall of Fame; Lou Fageol, engine and boat designerand racer; Bill Cantrell, famed car and boat racer, and Guy Lombardo, who also has a band. Arena, Cantrell and Wilson will be in the Harmsworth. The two other mem­ bers of the 100-mile-an-hour club, both away, are Gar Wood and Stanley Dollar. You say you don’t like Lent?Those six weeks before Easter arerather perplexing to you? Well, drythose tears and read * story thatmight clear up the problem for you. It was a crystal clear day with a few clouds mingling their purewhite with the deep blue of the sky.But the crowd on the bank of the river Jordan wasn’t paying particu­lar attention to such ordinary mat­ters on this day. For there was oneamong them the like of whom theyhad never seen. There was not one in the vsstthrong who could recall having everseen him. A few testified that theyhad seen him coming out of the the desert early that day, but be­yond that meagre bit of informa­tion, his past was completely un­known. He was John the Baptist But why such a crowd? Whydid so many come to hear the wordsof this seemingly strange man whohad just walked out of nowhere? There was evidently somethingabout this man that drew a throngabout him. Perhaps it was his voice. A voice that cries in the wildernesscompels men to stop and listen.Perhaps it was his unorthodoxdress that drew their interest. Men did not usually go about in asingle garment that was made upof uncomfortable camera hair.But hero was something more than thia. By the admission of theDivine, thw was the greatest man that was ever born of woman, and ho had a message that singed theair as he uttered it and burned into the hearts of his listeners. “Do penance", was his cry, "the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Arresting words. Words not easily to be forgotten. A kingdom such asheaven was not always at hand.When at nightfall the crowd through necessity had to disperse, theywalked as men under a spell.. Theywere stunned by the lightning of these words.John the Baptist was the first Lenten preacher. He eajma to tesHthe world of the coming of Christ,and to prepare men for the kingdomof heaven. But there is nothing un­ clean that gets Into heaven. Man hasto pick himself up out of the mud of sin and brush himself off. Prayerand penance are the ways to wipeyourself clean. You have to sacrificeyourself to purify yourself.It is for thia purpose that thereis a Lent. A special time of theyear to get ready for heaven - - a special season to become more in­timate with our Lord and Saviour.

Thamesford-Embro By Boat If Proposed Dam Okayed Repartee is the big man's smartanswer to your question. If it comes from a little man, you call it an in­sult One of these days the governmentwill be giving further consideration to a project that will mean a greatdeal to Thamesford and the surroun­ ding area.The project is the proposed damto be built over the Middle branch ofthe Thames, somewhere north of the CPR tracks. The dam will serve threemajor functions — flood prevention,water conservation and restoration. And it is said the water will be backedup so far behind it,' it will be possibleto boat from Thamesford to Embro. The Thamesford dam, according toGordon Pittock, local TVA represen­tative, was one of five recommended in an original planning scheme fol­lowing the-great flood in 1937. Theothers recommended were at Wood- stock (turned down for the moment);the huge one at Fans haw on whichengineering is now being done, andtwo at St. Marys—Wildwood andGlengowan — which have since beenturned down by the government forthe moment at any rate. No final decision has been reachedon the Thamesford project, whichwill s'tore water up to the Zorra swamp, but, according to Mr. Pit­tock, "it will have to be dealt withbefore the TVA plan is complete."It has NOT been shelved forever, hesaid.

One of, themain reasons I believe for personalunhappiness lies in our evasion offacta, work and simple living itself.Life goes on so much smoother and happier when we face things as they, come — evading nothing that we• ought to do, or that we would rather i not do. So many of our senseless fears’ are fed by thia act of evasion.
