Prepares Rare Book
For N ew Hospital
Some May Play in the N.H.L.
Whcp the new Alexandra Hospitalopens early in June, in an honoured
place in the main corridor there willbe a case containing the “Remembrance Book of Alexandra Hospital.”
“It was all Mrs. Dewani ide*.I only fell heir to it”, said Miss
Betty Crawford, who is busy putting the final touches on the beautiful mansuscript. Mrs. P. M. Dewan,
president of the Women's Auxiliary to the Hospital Trust is to becongratulated then, both for her
idea and for her choice of an“heir”, for, as a result the peopleof Ingersoll are to be possessors ofa most unique sketch of the beginnings of their first hospital.
When the new building was at lastbecomir/r a reality, the ladies of theAuxiliary decided that a history ofthe old one should be prepared and'the aid of Miss Crawford, the town’slibrarian, was sought This planhas not been changed; it has grown,and now there will be two books. Theone, a detailed history, is being
prepared by Miss E. Bower and willbe printed and offered for sale. Thesecond is Miss Crawford’s work.
This is a manuscript (which meanshand-written, in v
forgotten), done ... .--------------richly illuminated and with watercolour paintings of the hospital andits surroundings. Behind it is astory of ingenuity. Parchment, thereal thing that is, was not available
and "deed parchment", did not havethe old appearance which was required, so Miss Crawford devised a
system of oiling the paper that was'very successful. The colours, too,presented a problem, for parchment
does not take water colours easily.Manuscripts in a museum werestudied and the pages will be bound
in the style of centuries ago, tiedwith gold cord.Miss Crawford spent nearly a year
in preparing the book.The text of the book consists ofexcerpts from the first annual re
port of the Hospital and items from
the "Ingersoll Chronicle”, whichtell of the transformation of thespacious home of Dr. Angus McKay
into Alexandra Hospital whichopened September 22, 1909. Thereis a list of the first officers of the
Trust, the superintendent and themedical staff. The lettering is in theelaborate old English style and
each gold-bordered page, particularly the cover and title pages, arewonderful examples of the ancient
art of illumination.Using sketches she had made atother times of the hospital park and
case you haveon parchment,
outaida, the artist selected thosewhich would best convey to those of
future years its story. The buildingwas described at the time of itspurchase as a “palatial home” and
in the paintings of the gracefulrosewood staircase, a fireplace andmantel, a pillared doorway, we can
realize again its beauty. The parkis pictured in an autumn scene andin a view of the pond which edges
it Tha building itself forms thebackground for the title page andin another view is set off by shrub
bery and trees. All emphasize thefortunate setting which the newbuilding shares with the old.
Blank pages are left for the signatures of noted visitors to our newhospital and as they sign they mustshare our pride in the old hospital,the men and women who made itpossible and who through it and in
it have served so well the people ofIngersoll and the surrounding districts. And too, they will share ouradmiration for the artist who has
given us this book that is indeed, abook to remember.

At the Harmsworth
The same and perhaps even betterarrangement* will be made at Detroit to Ingersoll and district enthusiasts will be able to see thisyear's Harmsworth trophy race, L.H. Thomson, secretary of the Detroit International Regatta Associa
tion, informs J. R. Henley. tMr. Henley is a member of the Kiwaniscommittee arranging this year’s excursion.The races—two heats must be won—will be Friday, Sept. 1 and Satur
day, Sept. 2, with a third race—ifnecessary, being on the, following
Monday. The excursion is likely tobe Saturday, but whether by bus ortrain has not been decided. It is
hoped transportation and accommodation for 1000, as compared withlast year’s 600, will be available.
“I am quite sure we can work outthe -ame arrangements for theerection of bleachers which will be
directly across from the start andfinish line,” says Mr. Thomson.“This year we are planning to use
a five-mile course, instead of seven,so the boats will not go through thebridge. Therefore, they will be in
view around the entire course.”

Drunk on Floral Nectars
Bees Die in the Thousands
A fleeting breath of summer lured
thousands of bees to their death atMrs. James Baxter’s greenhousesearly this week.
When the sun and warm air beckoned, many thousands of honey beesleft their hives and headed for the
Baxter greenhouses, there to feastupon the sweet qectar in the thousands of beautiful Easter flowers
blooming there.There was a hum of many wingsas the bees sniffed a bit here, and
tasted a bit there, revelling in therichest of food and drink after a longhard winter. But the roar turned to
silence as the bees grew fat anddrunk and drowsy. Then the rainscame. And the sun vanished and theair grew colder. And the bees gotdamp and cold and, unable to move awing, died. The Baxter staff are stillsweeping them up.Experts say cause of death may beBEE-NEUMONIA.
Thieves Get Stuck
Joe Gets Car Back
Joe Morello had his car stolenwhile up in London the other night,but only for a couple of hours. Joe
ducked in for a bite to eat early inthe evening, and came out 25 minuteslater to find the car gone. He had had
it locked tight. After looking aboutfor a bit, he notified police, and twohours or so later they found it—
stuck in the mud on the other side oftown. Joe reports exactly no damage,and not one item stolen from the car.

New C.N.R. Sleeper
Named “Ingersoll”
New honor has come to Ingersoll.
This week the C.N.R. is introducing, at London, the very latest insleeping cars—its new Duplex Room
ette. And R. S. Foster, who inspectedthis new development in travel luxury and comfort, reveals that the
name on the new car is—INGERSOLL.From the outside, the car looks likea double decker with windows staggered up and down. But inside itpresents a colorfully-decorated sleep
ing vehicle, with 24 private roomsranging along a central hall.The cars are built in Montreal by
Canadian Car and Foundry and willbe used on runs between Montrealand Halifax, Montreal and Torontoand Toronto to Chicago. This lastrun will bring the car* through Ingersoll.
During the day each cubicle is aprivate sitting room; at night it becomes an enclosed bedroom with special blue lighting which may be left
on all night. A sliding steel door andcurtain gives positive privacy.Each traveller has his own toiletand washing facilities and individualice water cooler. A panel of switchesplaces lights, air conditioning andtemperature controls, porter calls andfan within easy reach night or day.The atmosphere of a railway coach
has disappeared with the color scheme decoration, invisible lightingand metal construction.
Rail Head Explains
Traffic Jam Plans
C.N.R. plans to cut down traffic jams at the Thames Streetcrossing are explained In a letter to The Tribune from J. A.Murphy, superintendent, London Division, Canadian National
Railways.The letter follows: 'Dear Mr. Lee:I have your letter of March 31st. Our intention is to extend what is known as the shed track a distance of 480 feet
westward, which will bring it to a point just east, and clear of,McKeand Street. A crossover will be installed between the
westward and eastward main tracks about one quarter milewest of the McKeand Street crossing: in other words immediately west of the west end of our existing passing sidings, so
that cars for the Beachville quarries, when they are sorted onthe tracks east of McKeand Street, may be convenientlymoved across the main tracks and placed in the eastward passing track for convenient lifting by eastward trains.
The enclosed blue-print shows in red the crossover andthe extension to the shed track; It also shows the strip ofland which is to be purchased just east of McKeand St. in
order to provide standard clearances for the additional trackage.
We hope to make these changes as soon as the weatnerconditions permit. It is expected that the additional trackagewill greatly reduce the movements over Thames Street crossing, particularly those which are necessitated by handling oftraffic to and from the Beachville Quarries.
It will still be necessary to do a certain amount of switching over thjs crossing in connection with the servicing of the
freight shed and industries located in Ingersoll yard north ofthe freight shed.Yours very truly,J. A. MURPHY, Superintendent,

Residents Invade Council
Residents of the north part of town invaded council instrength Monday night carrying complaints about the state ofthe roads around Innes, Skye, Wonham, Cashel Streets, OxfordAve., and Jura Lane. They presented a petition to council de

erected.Jack Landon, spokesman for the petitioners, said, “Rightnow there-’s all these new houses being taxed and they have no
sidewalks or roads to walk on. The people are paying taxesand should have some consideration.”

A tractor-of-all-trad^s is going tobe the latest addition to Ingersoll’smunicipal equipment. Purchase, saysCouncillor C. A. Eidt, will probably
be completed by this week-end.The equipment is a power tractorto which can be fitted either a swee
per, shovel, blade or mower — sufficient equipment to handle any workfrom clearing any snow and ice to
digging out gravel and clearing leaves. The four pieces of equipmentthat come with the tractor are easilyinterchangeable, says the Board ofWorks chairman, and one man can
switch within 10 to 20 minutes fromsweeping up lcaves to digging a ditchor getting gravel from the pit All
he has to do is take off the sweepingequipment and put on the blade orshovel. All the parts are hydraulic
ally operated by the driver througha power take-off.Mr. Eidt had decided almost aweek ago what he was going to buy,he says, but he has held off until hecan watch several tractors at work.
“That way we'll know what we aregetting", he says.

Cold Halts Rise
Up Nearly 8 Ft.
The Tuesday night cold snap curbed the rampaging Thames after it
had risen seven feet, seven and a halfinches above normal at Ingersoll andwas still climbing. Next morning,
however, with little damage reported,the river was down 18 to 20 inches,and Gordon Pittock, TVA representa
tive, said he felt the new channel hadproved its worth. The flats, of course,were flooded w'ith water washing a-round the wheels of some standingfreight cars. At Dorchester, the riverflooded over the Hamilton Road, pre
venting cars from getting to London.
Among the busiest men yesterdaywere Ed. and Ray Lockey, makinghalf-hourly checks of the water gaugeat the pumphouse.
Exceedingly Bad
Said Councillor Norman Pemble-
ton, “I have been up there and lookedit over. It is deplorable and . in an
exceedingly bad state of Repair. Innes Street has no drain^ for thewater to get away. What should be
done now is to get stone there and atleast make a base for a road. Thepeople are reasonable. They don't
expect us to perform miracles butthey do deserve some consideration.
Skye is in need of drains, too."
“How many yards of stone havebeen put out there?” asked Mayor Dr.
J. G. Murray.
“About 20 yards," answered thechairman of the board of works
councillor C. A. Eidt. “We’ll look afterit when we get the weather." Thenturning to Mr. Landon, “We’ll be upthere, don’t you fret."
“The gravel pit is flooded and they
can’t dig out any stone," contributedcouncillor Pembleton.
"We don’t expect you to do mira
cles,” said Mr. Landon, “We don’texpect you to go up there right now
and build a road. We just want tobe sure we have one another year.”
“We’ll be up there," assured the
board of works chairman.“We hope, we hope", was Mr. Lan
don’s parting remark.

The subject wasn’t disposed of
there, however. Councillor Tom Morrison said after the visitors had left.

Usual Number
Of Registrations
Reporting to the Public SchoolBoard at their meeting Tuesday
night, supervising principal A. G.Murray said that they had had theregistration of beginners and thenumber* “were about usual”. Theyhad also, he said made the estimates
for school book* and supplies for fall.Attendance during March was 94per cent and the total enrollment at
both schools was 887. A representative of Canadian Power RegulativeCompany, he said, had visited the
school and reported on the heatingsystem, which he said was badly inneed of repair. The, report stated that
the system was installed in 1921 andhas had no maintenance since.The seventh edition of the Memorial Bugler was now out, said Mr. Murray. It was a very worthwhile project, especially as the pupils do nearly
all the work themselves. The caretakers had completed shelving in thefirst floor rooms. The supervising
principal also mentioned that bicyclerack* were needed at Princess Elizabeth school and filing cabinets for
both offices. Also a P.A. system atVictory Memorial school.On motion of Trustee George Clif
ton, two sets of Encyclopedia of Reference books were authorized, one foreach school, at a cost of $230. An in
vitation wa8 received from the UrbanPublic School Trustees Associationto attend their convention in LondonApril 19th.Before the close of the meeting,
which lasted only 45 minutes, TrusteeGordan Henry, spoke on the decisionof the board to grant themselves a
payment of $5 for each regular meeting during the year, stating that he
was not present when the vote wastaken and was not in favor of it “Itwould be an awful thing if everyonein this town should take money for
every little service rendered," he said.
^“At this time when the roads are so
bad, it would be well to publicize thefact that everything that i3 humanly
possible has been done. It is a newdevelopment up there. I suppose ithas been more or less forgotten, but
it is prohibitive to put a machine inat present, but it will be done.”
“Ingersoll ha* got just about twice
as much territory to cover for its sizeas Woodstock,” complained the
Mayor. “We have les* than half thepopulation and only 200 acres less."
“Before the highway program is
mapped out," said Mr. Morrison’,-**maybe someone could go to Torontoand appeal for the Highways to dosomething about the condition* ofCharles St. It is too much for thiscommunity to bear.”
When council had appointed Councillors Morrison, Eidt and Mayor
Dr. J. G. Murray to petition the Provincial Government, together with T-
R. Dent, member for Oxford County,more residents arrived.
Car Stuck
Said John Mundy, “I’m sorry I -couldn’t get here sooner, gentlemen,
my car stuck in the mud up there.When are you going to start on thiswork? My car is a brand new one and
there it is sitting in all that mud. It’senough to make you cry. If there wasa fire up there the fire truck would
never be able to get through.”
“I thought you had gravel up thereon Saturday”, said Mr. Eidt.
“No, not an ounce this year”, wasMr. Mundy’s reply. “We’ll rake it in
if you’ll get up there and dump it. Itis just a quagmire.”Then Mr. Mundy took on the boardof works. “Those men”, he complain- 1
ed, “are never there on time. When I
pay a dollar into the town I expect toget a dollar back. They don’t startwork until a quarter to nine.”
“They are there on time”, retortedthe Mayor.“They sit around most of the time.
They are the laughing stock of thetown.”
“They are prompt”, defended Mr.Eidt.“We will hear complaints”, rapped
Mayor Murray, “about the roads, butdon’t tell u8 how to run the town.Next year you will have a chanceto try it.”.
“We will”, said Mr. Mundy."We spent over $400 on Oxford
Ave.," said Mr. Eidt, “I’ll go downand see what can be done."
“If you can find it”, was the final
POOCHES SIGH
WALTER RESIGNS
Ingersoll's canine population breathed a large sigh of relief thi* weekwhen they heard that Walter May
had resigned a* town dog-catcher, effective March 31. Monday nightcouncil heard, and accepted hla resignation.
With dogs now free from worry-Elmer U inlaw, the town clerk, doesn®E^*ow w lwt happen. "It
will be up to the council", he says,whatever they want to do. But I
guess there won’t be any dog-catcheraround for a few weeks anyway.”However, all you pooches, here’s a
word of advice. When April 15th rollsaround, and you are supposed to betied up; don t think you can mam

orate in special services the crucifixion. On Sunday
morning, the churches will present the joyful mes
sage of Easter in music and sermons.
Easter is a time when we are inspired with new
hope. As on the first Easter, when the gloom of
Good Friday was changed into great joy on Easter
Sunday morning, so in 1950 we again experience
some of the happiness of this ever-living season.
Outstanding among the religious festivals of the
year, Easter is celebrated by attending the services
in the churches. Large congregations attend the
services on Easter Sunday. Although it is now al
most 2,000 years since the first Easter morning,
the message of faster is as new and as full of mean
ing as it was then. And everyj»ear the retelling of
the Easter message in music and sermon brings new
joy to all who participate in the services.
The joy of Easter will overshadow the thoughts
of a possible third world war, the troubled conditions
in many countries, and the problems of bringing
in an era of peace with a fair distribution of the
necessities of living to the people of all lands. If
we could carry some of the Easter joy with us
throughout the year, we would soon banish much
of the trouble from the world.
We hope that all of the churches in Ingersoll and
the district will be well attended on Sunday. And
to all the readers of The Tribune we wish a happy
Easter!
Use Parking Meters
On Main Street ‘Parker*’
Ingersoll’s parking problem on Thames Street is
not improving, nor is it likely to do so. The recent
snow and ice conditions showed it up badly. At
almost any time during the busy periods of the day
three or four vehicles can be seen double-parked
along the business section, both sides of the road
jammed tightly with cars that are parked in the
same spot for hours at a time.
The diagonal parking facilities on King Street
aren’t enough to handle the cars, there is no other
suitable place for parking, so everyone uses the
main street. Usually it results in a narrow, wind
ing strip of pavement down the centre to handle
the flow of traffic.
Parking meters would seem to be the most logical
answer. Make everyone who wants to park all after
noon pay for it else leave their car away from the
storefronts.. Statistics released from other towns
and cities have shown time and again that the meters
return their original cost within a few years, and
from then on they stand as a source of income to
the community.
They would ensure, too, that traffic was not in a
constant tie-up on Thames Street, either hastily
braking to pull in behind a double-parked truck or
frantically accelerating to get through before the
driver coming the other way gets to the gap.
An investment in parking meters along the main
street, and possibly King Street as well, might be
one well made. It should be considered carefully
by our town council.

Lop Off Sidewalk, Widen Road
It’ll Bring More Business
At some future time, when the town council is
contemplating improvements for the town, it might
give some attention to Thames St. /or a couple of
blocks or so in the business section. The brick
pavement, which ha stood up so well, would make
smoother riding if it were given a covering of
asphalt.
The street could be widened by taking a couple
of feet off the sidwaik on each side, which would
do much to relieve congestion and at the same time
would not narrow the sidewalks too greatly. By
widening the street, an improvement would be noted
in the winter months. Snow and ice are shovelled
from the walk on to the street, and as this piles up
the street is further narrowed for parked vehicles
and the flow of traffic.
Another advantage to be gained by covering the
street with an asphalt surface would be that the
street level would be raised. On a part of Thames
St., not far'from King St., the curb ig high and is
an inconvenience to motorists. When they park
their cars, they often find that they are unable to
open the doors on the curb side.
In view of the economy program urged by the
mayor for the present year, we do not suggest that
these improvements should be undertaken at once.
But we feel they are worthy of consideration for
future, improvement work about the town. Our
business people spend large sunjg^of money ti -im
prove their stores o that they will be attractive,
and as this is the section of town which is ..visited
daily by many tourists and out-of-town shoppers,
these improvements to the street would help to give
the visitors a better impression of our town of Ing
ersoll.
U.S. and U.K. Invest Millions
Develop Province For Us
A glance at the 1949 Review recently issued by
the Trade and Industry Branch of the Department
of Planning and Development shows a rather sur
prising number of Unted States firms establishing
factories in this country. In all during 1949 the
branch assisted in the establishment of 47 new
manufacturing plants in Ontario, employing 5,229
persons, and providing an annual payroll of ten
and a half millions, and a total capital investment
of $33,149,000. The impact of these new businesses
on the province, says the review’, ^represents a city
of some 21,000 population with all it* attendant
trades, stores and professions. And, to go on that,
the city could very well be named ’Little America’.
Of the 47 industries listed 21, or almost 50 per
cent, are United states firms. U.K. industrialists
run second with 13 and Canada third with nine.
The other8 are foreign and non listed. The three
biggest investments are the $5,000,000 General El
ectric plant at London, the $3,000,000 invested by
Pilkington Glass, a U.K. business, and (another
English firm) -British Oxygen (Canada) Ltd.,.who
have put in $1,500,000.
That is a whole pile of dollars invested in Ont
ario — other people’s dollars at that. It leaves
very lit|le doubt that Canadian interests are not
financing Ontario last year, thank you very much.
If it does go on at this rate we’re liable to be taken
over lock, stock and barrel.
The Review states the reason as being, largely,
the re-direction policy of the Federal Government
in re-directing Canadian purchases of engineering
products from U.S. suppliers to those in the U.K.
In other words, the.U.S. answer has been to throw
branch plants into this country — and therefore
Ontario in the main — to be able to sell their pro
ducts.
Roll out the barrel, the lock and stock appear to
have gone.
What Others Say:
LADY DUFFERIN CHAPTER
Immigration is the Life-Blood
Of Canada To-Day As Much As Ever
A government official, recently quoted in the
press, was elaborating on the ‘keep Canada for Can
adians’ theme, giving his stated opinion that* im
migration to this country should be restricted solely
to farm and mauel workers. The fat jobs, said
this gentleman, should be reserved exclusively for
Canadians.
This iB a viewpoint as bigoted and short-sighted
as it is rare. Without immigration Canada would
never be able to maintain its position among nat
ions. The United States is great today because it
opened its doors to people from other lands who
were willing to work for their chances at success. ’
When a man — in many cases with a family —
decides to completely drop his life, sell everything
and start afresh in thi8 country, he will be putting
forward from the word ‘go*. He must if his dream
is to be fulfilled.
The opportunities are here. There are enough
for everyone who is willing to work and is capable
of taking them, whether they be Swiss, Hungarian,
Dutch, English or Canadian. Let us not subscribe
to this narrow closed-door attitude which is the
enemy of progress.
Overdoing It
We’ve been reading some of the “Doleful Dick"news stories which have been coming out of meet
ings of farm organizations of late in which we arebeing warned that disaster is right on our heels,and that the goblins’ll get you if you don’t watch out.
We think the tendency of farm leaders is tooverdo the picture. We don’t hear that kind of talkirom the run-of-mill farmers and ranchers. A lot
of them appear to be more worried for the nonceabout how much- they owe in income taxes. At afarm meeting here the other day the black picturewas told aftet; the head of a farm co-operative
told of doing more business in 1949 than in any yearin the long history of the organization.(Lethbridge Herald)

How TV Affect*
A Group of U.S. Families
Everybody suspects that television has deeplyaffected U.S. family habits. We may be hearingmore of this in Canada later. To get some specific
examples, a public relations firm asked questionsin 400 Washington, D.C. homes. 'They reportedfindings as follows:—
Among TV set owners, adults attendance at movies dropped 72% (from an average going of 4.51times a month to 1.27 times). But children’s attendance has declined only 46%.
Reading has also suffered. Adults spend 29.1%less time reading books than they did before TVcame into the living room; magazine reading is
down 22.6%, newspapers 4.7%. Children’s readinghas fallen off mainly in the comic field—a declineof 15.7%.
Sports events have been hard hit The Washingtonians said that they go to wrestling and boringmatches 44.7% less than before; football 40% less;baseball 36.7% less.
Hardest hit of all has been radio, where theWashington TV owners’ nightly listening has drop
ped from an average of 3 hours 42 minutes to amere 24 minutes. The chief reason given for evenoccasional radio lurtening wa* “the superiority of(its) new* programs.”
But whatever it* impact on other leisure habits,TV has been cheering in one respect to sociologist*.
Said the poll finding*: “Television ia keeping families together at home.” Specifically, husband*■' P nd 42.8% more of their leisure time st homethan they did before; wives, 39.7% more; children41.3% more. (St. Marge Journal-Argue)

Lay Out Course
On Lake Muskoka
For Speed Trials
An official mile course has been
measured out at Gravenhurat forHarold Wilson's speed trials in MissCanada IV this summer. Graven-
hurst is the home port for the boat,and the attempts on the world’s record may be made there, or at PIc-ton, or both spots.
The course, which is 3% milesfrom the Greavette Boat Works
docks, provides for a 2Mi mile runup at both ends. It was measured outon the ice by a party under the supervision of E. L. Burgess, official
government land surveyor. BertHurst and Bill Foley, of Greavettes,assisted. An old car was used to run
around on the ice while the coursewas being established. Two points ontwo separate Islands mark the mile.
At present, the boat is on exhibi-tion at the Western Ontario SportsShow, at London.
New “Date Book”
Planned at Arena
A new “date book” for the use andI convenience of the people of Inger-i soil is being set up at the Community Centre under the supervision of
Larry Harris, recreation director.The action was decided upon at ameeting of the Recreation Commission Monday.
The date book, it is felt, will beuseful in seeing that two or threefunctions are not booked into one
hall for the same evening, for eff-iample, ;<id| that too numy attractions will not be held on the same
evening in town, thus cutting downthe crowd—and gate—for all ofthem.
Groups, organizations and associations planning dances, bazaars,plays and other functions are asked tocontact Mr. Harris, at the arena, for
entry in the book. For the convenienceof the public, a weekly bulletin list
will be carried in The Trigune.
Liked Fire Engine

The following story about John
Sims, son of Mrs. Sam Sterling, (theformer Mrs. L. Sims), appeared ina recent issue of the Montreal Star:Hinckley, I-eicestershire, England—(C.P.)— John Sims, 26-year-oldCanadian from Ingersoll, Ont., hasbeen thinking about fire engines ever
since he can remember.He thought about them all throughthe war when he came to England
with the Canadian army and saw hisfirst British fire truck. He marriedan English girl, took her home and
settled down to his old job as fitterafter his demobilization in 1946.But the yen to drive a fire truck
persisted and “I just couldn't settledown back there."So John and hi8 wife and theirthree children came back to England.
Now he’s fireman-driver John Simsof the Leicestershire and RutlandCounty Fire Brigade.

That Ontario crown looked very
bright and near when Centrevilleplastered Cannington 0 to 1 Thursdaynight at the arena. After an initialflurry from the northern team the
local sextette took command of thegame, Jimmy Barker slamming homefour tallies and picking an assist onanother.Hero of the game, was goal tenderDon Humes whose outstanding play
in the third period saved at least fourgoals that looked unstoppable. Thewhole team looked good, with the line
of Ray Connor, Ralph Connor andJim Barker deadly every time theywere on the ice.One of the biggest factors in Cen
treville's convincing win was defenseman Max Furtney whose persistentpoke-checking harassed attackers and
time after time threw a dangerousmovement out of gear. The wholeteam looked good without exception
and whether the larger ice surfacethey have to face in Lindsay willmake any difference can only be gues-

Can-
Cannington, after almost scoring inthe opening minutes, seemed confusedby the hard checks handed out byFurtney, Jack Barker, Scotty Connor,old uncle Tom Cobley and all, and
were not able to get continued attacksin motion.It was dapper Fred Chalkley, whobroke the deadlock in a closely fought
first period, popping home a perfectcentre from Ralph Connor. The sameRalph himself scored number twojust one minute later. Cannington hadonly three real scoring opportunitiesduring the 20 minutes, each one of
which was promptly squashed byHumes. The only penalty of the stanza was to burly Jack Barker for
holding. ZJim’s first was a picture book tally as he took a Ralph Connor passat the red line and skated in aloneto whip it past the Cannington netminder. He hit three more during
that period on another pass fromRalph Connor and two centres fromRay Connor.
Cannington’s Ione jnarker camenear the half-way spot of the period,the result of Centreville’s only defen
sive slip of the evening, centre C.Lunney breaking through a gap tobeat Humes.
It was in the closing period thatDon Humes proved his worth as Cannington found their fighting feet and
penned the local crew in their ownend for most of the 20 minutes. Twicehe made sensational stops right on the
line after the rubber had slipped pasthim and twice more he dived full-length at hot shots from close in to
smother them. If the score had been6 to 5 at the close no-body could havelaid the blame at the goalie’s door.The only other penalty of the gamecame in this period, Scotty Connorelecting to trip rather than let a goalthrough.

FALSE PROPHETS I
Those who wanted more liquor outlets said
"More Liquor Outlets will result in Less Drinking’
The fulfillment:
Ontario’s gallonage consumption in 1935—18,398,857.
Ontario’s gallonage consumption in 1949—75,099,378.
Those who wanted more liquor outlets said:
“More liquor outlets will liquidate the bootlegger.’’
The fulfillment:
The Government record of convictions for violations of the
Provincial Liquor legislation:
Convictions in 1934— 4,324.
Convictions in 1947—12,322.
Do your own thinking! Will more liquor outlets in Ingersoll make for the sale of
more sugar, shoes or sewing machines?
You know that handier liquor will result in more drunkenness, highway deaths,
divorce, delinquency and debts—in Ingersoll.

Art in Industry
Described at Meet <
How art is applied to industry wasdescribed by Leo Skidmore and John 1
Layton of Skidmore Associates, Industrial Designers, at a meeting of ,
the Y’s Men Monday night. Specialguest* of the Y’» Men for the occasion were members of Kiwanis, Lions, ,
Junior Chamber of Commerce, and •the Senior Chamber of Commerce.Seated at the head table, presidedover by Alf. Boniface, president of
the Y’s Men, were Gordon Henry, Ypresident, J. C. Herbert, Kiwanispresident, Ray Lawlor, who introdu
ced Mr. Skidmore, who introducedMr. Layton, H. W. Bui* Fick, presi- ,dent of the Jaycees, F. Heath Stone, ,Chamber of Commerce president, andCarl Palmer, head of the Lions. Eachassociation head introduced members 1
of his group present. John McBride,
new Chamber of Commerce *vcrvtary,was present, also Bob Jewett, justnicely home from London after a boutwith polio.John Lockhart moved that everyone be fined 25c to help the EasterSeal drive in aid of crippled children,
and this netted about $12. Roas Hurstand Archie Hubert reported onminor-hockey activities, and Eddie
Ide and Ross provided the musical entertainment and led in the sing-song.Mr. Layton said Mr. John Publicmet industrial design in every phase
of his every-day life—on the bus, inthe restaurant, in one's pen. "Industrial design is merely the application
of art to industry,” he said. “Peoplehave a natural affinity for beauty, nomatter where it is, and it’s our job toput both beauty, along with efficiency, into industry. Color, for example, ig most important. You can
make someone feel too hot or too cold,’or just right, in a room, by the colorsused."Mr. Layton showed slides, with Mr, I
Skidmore giving a commentary. |Members of the Young Business, **

visible around the *un and jnoonThursday afternoon and night.
George Bartlett was the first to
phone in and say they were visible.One opaque ring was nearest the sun,a thin streak going out to the southand further out was a perfect, circular rainbow. The opaque ring wasvery noticeable round the moon towards midnight.
Says Dr. Hogg. “The ring* arecaused by tiny particle* of ice in theair. When the rays of light hat them

Would you like to go smelt fishing?Oh, «uro, says I, let’s see, no meetingson, dost have to take the wife orkid, out; fine, that should leave me
no twinges of conscience. Of coursethere was the usual smocthing over;no, I couldn’t take the hide. I waa aninvited guest, etc., and being a tender*foot I w», taking no chances.
Of course I have read in the papers
the last few years, about the bushelsand bushels of these small fish, thatyou can scoop out of the water with
your bare hands. The flavor of these,as an eatable, is fine and no bones.Thi, in itself, is appealing; it would
be a change from our annual feed ofBuckets and mullet, and without thebones, I could eat dinner and still beback to work on time. You cook these
up complete, or—I guess you take theinsides out before cooking—just aminor thought
Would I take a bushel basket; wellthis looked a little greedy, I says tothe wife, put me up a big lunch, and
pack it in a bigger box and that willcarry a lot, and not make it look tooobvious.
Let’s see—are we all complete,where are brother*, boys; what, gonedown to look at the fire engine! Tar
nation, and u, with our fever at thebreaking point; of course we do needthe fire engine.Well, away we go; I don’t know justwhere we are to go, and the othersare undecided. How far to Morpeth;oh my gosh, 75 miles, but far-awayfields are always green. Finally wecompromise on Eagle a mere 55 miles.It i, early, only 7.30 p.m.
The trip over is pleasant, and I amregaled with tales of fishing. True, alot of the big ones got away. Com
ments are made on the weather, howthe lake might be, season of the year.The traffic i, moving rather slowlyin places, and we chafe a little. After
all we should have some consideration, because we are in a hurry.The end of the pavement looks like
a field after a battle, however thereare two carload, of us, and with allour enthusiasm we could push a bat
tleship out of a mud hole, one goodpush is all we had to make. It’s agood thing cars are strong though, Ithought ours would part in the middle.Finally we are there, by the pumphouse. Funny, there was no breeze
when we left home, but now the off-lake breeze i, strong, and we canhear the surf. The lanterns are lit.I now have a great respect for a lantern. They make the dark places, notquite so dark.After walking, stumbling, and slip-
the beach, and the rollers are breaking in againat the remaining shelf ofsnow and ire Well boys, it’, prettyrough, so Jet's go down to the errek
mouth How far, Oh just around thebend quarter of a mile.We slop and slip along the edge
of the water, sometime. sinking halt
way to our knees In the clay slime.I wore my rubber galoshes abouthalf-way to the knees. A couple ofthe boys had knee boota on, and we
cast an envious eye on the hip bootaof the veterans. Ohoooo, that wavewas higher, and that’s mighty cold
trickling down to my toes, but what'sa little water. There is a little building—the creek will be there—no, it’s
just up around the bend. We slip,slush and plod along another quartermile, and suddenly out of the gloomwe see Robert Service’s derelict; no,it proves to be a pile-diiver, pulledup on shore waiting to do it, stufffor the fishermen. Well, the creek
should be here. But no, just aroundthe bend about a quarter of a mile. Ishrug and resign myself to that lastquarter mile. We did that last one,and another, and started on another.The bank along the lake is high anderoded, and my thoughts went back
to stories of Redskins, and everyminute I expected a head with a feather sticking up, to poke up and give
a war whoop.
Half a mile more and we are effectively stopped; the lake is washing
up to the base ef the cliff. Too bad—just around the bend, another quarter mile. . We retrace our steps. My
feet are heavy; of course they are,my boots are full of water. Yes, myboots are still on, because the stonesare not hurting my feet Yes, I stillhave feet, because I still can walk,but I don’t feel them. I start to countmy steps, but slip and catch myself
with my hand, my new gloves in thatclay mire. Oh, well—they can be cleaned tomorrow.
Well boys, here is a good openpiece of beach; how be we make afew sweeps with the net here. The
net is unrolled, about 5 ft X 30, costa mere 18 dollars. Of course, we hadto make our own end poles, and thecost split up in to the fish per poundis not so great, particularly if youdon’t figure your transportation, anda big lunch. The veterans brave thewaves, and on the first sweep someone yells, you have one. I am holdingone lantern and I hold it high and
look close. I see a few stones glisten,but no smelts. Oh yes, I saw it, hesays, about four inches long. Now I
used to be able to see a fly wink at50 ft., but of course I am a tenderfoot and could be wrong.
The sweepers are now enthusiastic,and gallantly sweep a half a dozen,times. Are you wearing waist-highwaders, Jack? Oh, I am sorry—that'8 y°ui* soaking black pants.

Thamesford Citizens Consider Purchase of New Fire Truck
After the Baptist Church was razed recently, Thamesford citizens decided it waa
high time something was done about fire protection for the community. The group pictured here were responsible for having a fire truck demonstrated in Thamesford, and
decision regarding getting a truck will not be made until further discussion. Left to rightare: William Sunter, chairman of the village trustees; Wm. Weir, Howard Clark, clerk;
Percy Elgie, Gordon Hogg and Jack Wallace. Two others responsible for getting the truckdemonstrated, but not shown in the picture,were Jack McMurray and Allan Hogg.
Finely the thought soaks throughto the grey matter, after the lakehas soaked through to the skin, thatwe are a week ahead. Did you say
weak in the head; the lake makes alot of noise.• We pack the tent, I mean net, and
silently steal up the catwalk. Boy,I’m all out of puff. Should we eatnow? no, we had better get home and
get dry.The car is warm, we are drowsyand then someone remembers, whywe ate a week ahead of time. The fullMoon is not until Sunday, and thegood run does not start until afterthe first full moon in April. This isa saving of face, just our memory isbad from one whole year to the next.Ah—good old home, off with the wet
clothes, and into pyjamas, and theninto the lunch. Huh, I thought thewife had put up a big lunch, only
six slices of bread, 2 hot cross buns,a piece of cake with gooey icing. ButI have to admit there was lots of
coffee. 1 could only drink three cups.Away to bed, and I was going tosay sleep. Could have been that lunch,but my digestion is usually good.Finally I am really on a fishing trip,only to find at daybreak, that whaleI captured and the shark that almostgot me, were only dreams.Well, this is our ‘Canadian way, afreedom, to come and go as we choose.
To make heroes or foolg of ourselvesas we wish, and with plenty to eat,plenty to enjoy, and surely we live
in a great land.
Fire Protection
To Be Discussed
At Friday Meet
TThhee qquueessttiioonn ooff ffiirree pprrootteeccttiioonn forThamesford will be discussed at a special meeting called by the villagetrustees for tomorrow night,Friday, at the library.
Clerk Howard Clark explainedthere was still some difference of opinion ss to the best means of pro
tecting Thamesford, whether to haveits own equipment or to depend onLondon or Ingersoll, and these differences will be discussed prior to call
ing another public meeting.“There is no use calling the publicto a meeting on fire protection ifthere is just going to be a lot of arguing, with no concrete proposals putbefore them," Jie said. "When we canarrive at a definite plan, then we’ll
have a meeting if they want it, yes
or no.”Various officials have inspectedvarious type8 of equipment here andthere, and Mr. Clark thinks a com
prehensive picture can be presented.There is apparently doubt in someminds whether enough men would be
available, soon enough, for a volunteer fire brigade.In any event, before any equipment
can be bought a vote of the peoplemust approve it.

Crippled Children
Given New Life
In ancient times crippled childrenwere discarded as useless and sent
away to die. Now they are being developed into useful citizens and aretaking their rightful place in society.
How this is being done waB explained to Kiwanians at their Thursday meeting by Dr.,Walter F. Koer-
ber, principal of Variety Village, inToronto, where 24 handicapped boys
are being trained as skilled tradesmen and craftsmen.
The School — only one of its kind— waB initiated by a group of Toronto sportsmen, but its operation is
under the supervision of the OntarioSociety for Crippled Children. Andit ig the public's purchase of Easter
Sealg that helps keep this most worthwhile work going.Introduced by Jack Herbert, president, who lauded the work of the Kiw-anis crippled children’s committee,

She Was Daintiest Creature
Ingersoll Streets Ever Saw
The other day I tuned in to listen to the one o'clock newscast com
ing in from Toronto, and to listento my favourite program The HappyGang. I heard the news item about
a bill that was up in the DominionHouse of Parliament regarding theletting down of the bars prohibiting
Chinese women tpid their offspringfrom coming into Canada withoutpaying the Government a price. I
shall try to recall my first experiencewith a Chinese family way back in1910. George Lee had saved the
money out of his hard-earned earnings by operating a hand-laundrynext door to Nick Condos.
It was a quiet Sunday eveningaround 6.30, when Helen Kirwinand I were strolling past the laun
dry, when we saw a little Chineseboy, standing near the door viewing the sights. (Neither one of us
were the shy type and we spoke tothe little boy, our greeting, “HelloChink, Where did you come from?
What's your name, etc., etc.," Thelittle boy muttered something to usand naturally we could not under
stand him. nor could he . . We racedup our front stairs to tell my parents the nows, and my father very
nonchalantly informed me that heknew George had gone to Hong-Kong but he did not know he plan-
ned on bringing his family back.

We tore over to the old Kirwin
House to tell the late William Kirwin the news, and we were so excit
ed we could . hardly talk straight.After being bawled out and told not
to act so foolish Mr. Kirwin said
each one take a turn, but that wastoo much from a Kirwin or a Sage—
they both had inherited the gift ofgab.The next day I was looking out
the kitchen window, when I saw Mrs.Lee, John hanging on to her hand.In those days indoor lavatories
were rather a scarce item, and the
Lees were in the same boat the
Sages were in—they had an outdoor one. If I live to be a hundred
years old, I shall never forget thesight. Mrs. Lee was garbed in hernative costume, a beautiful embroid
ered coat, trousers to match, dainty
slippers, and carrying a hand bagand a fan. I simply screamed at the
top of my lungs to my mother tocome and see the Chinese lady and 1
her family. If my mother wanted
my father, she could call down the ■back stairs, and either he or Georgewould answer. This was a special day 1
and the old cronies all flocked in tothe back room to see the sight.
After their visit, which seemed to •
be three hours, to the curious onlookers, they emerged. It was the 1
first time anyone had seen a Chin- 1
ese woman. My mother had myAunt Kate O’Callaghan in for a visit :
and of course they were in box seats
to see the sight. Out Mrs, Lee strolled, looking around. Mr. Morgan,
one of the town’s blacksmiths, hada flock of hens and roosters andthey were parading their stuff
around the alley. Mrs. Lee veryleisurely looked them over, smilingand chatting to little John, telling
him something about the flock. Thisscene was repeated many times andthe back windows of Sage’s store
and apartment never was withoutan audience.
Times were good. King Edward
hated war, and we were’living in anera of peace. George Lee was
branching out, he had built a newshop next to the Merchant's Bank,now the Bank of Montreal. '
John Lee was attending PublicSchool, and could speak English. I
liked John and we were pals. One
day John brought me in to meet hismother, and that is an event in my
life I shall never forget. I had beenbrought up in a very strict occiden
tal home, never to mingle with the
heathen Chinese, they ate rats andcats, tortured little girls, and all
the wildest stories that the mind of
a Celt can spin. I paid no attention
and did as I pleased. George Lee in
troduced me to his wife. I feltfrightened and I expected some
Manchurian War-Lord to emergefrom a dark closet and sever myhead off. Such was not the case. I
met a very gracious lady. Mrs. Leespoke in Chinese to her husband, andhe toldSne to go closer. I did, shiv
ering in my high-laced shoes, andshe took my hand and patted it,
examined my golden tresses, peeredinto my eyes which are blue, lookedat my skin—in plain English she
gave me the third degree.
When the inspection was over, she
spoke to George and he said; "My
and little girl stood there wonderingand little stood there wonderingwhat next was going to happen,
when suddenly George gave Johnsome money and told him to buy
some candy for us. I was right behind John's heels. He was so polite,
always generous, and yet a little
shrewd. I would, have to coax andcoax until John would break down
and pass me the bag to help myself.
Before the Lees left our neighborhood and moved down farther
I would like totell a few happeningsthat actually took place.There was one Chinaman who was
very tall and had a bad temper.'
Numerous fights used to take place,
and George would try and be a
peace-maker. The wounded onewould go and sit on the back stepsand cry, (it sounded like a wail),
until some good soul would come outand tell him all was forgiven.Many fantan games were played
there, lots of money crossed over thegambling table, and we could hearthem playing their instruments andsinging.
They were good neighbors, minded their own business, were law-
abiding, sharp and shrewd, and «1I
they ever drank was beer. In factmy father used to remark you could
never make much money selling them
whisky as they drank beer, a substitute for rice wine. Many a timewe saw them take a whiff from the

in whiskey or some of its substitutes,maybe patent medicines. My father

Buy Easter Seals, Help Kids
Westcott Appeals on Radio
L. A. Westcott, chairman of thechild welfare and crippled children's
committee of the Kiwanig club, said
in an address over CKOX recentlythat purchase of Easter seals might
very well help crippled children inthis very community. His address follows, in part:“It is a privilege to speak on behalf
of the Ontario Society for CrippledChildren as I know something of theworth-while work they are doing—
and in which the Kiwanis Club ofIngersoll is associated with them.
“Twenty-seven years ago, the Ont
ario Society for Crippled Childrenwas organized by service clubs in Ontario, for the purpose of extending and
giving leadership to this branch ofSocial Service. Today 205 ServiceClubs ore majoring in this activity.
“I have been chairman of the Childwelfare and Crippled Childrens* Committee of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club
for the past four years and havecome in close contact with some phases of the work the Ontario Society
for Crippled Children has done andi8 doing. At present they have a director of Nursing Service and 13 dis
trict nurses on full time pay—looking after the special needs of crippled children throughout the Pro
vince, and they have organized Orthopaedic Clinic8 in many hospitals, to
carry on this work.
“In this district, the nurse i8 MissHelen Wearing, located at the WarMemorial Childrens* Hospital in Lon

“The Society also operates threeCamps for Crippled Children where
they obtain special treatment and
training and the one for this districtis located just west of London. It is
called Woodeden. This is now an all-
year round camp and here they haverecently opened *' Cerebral Palsy
Centre for children from 3 to 6 yearsof age. A well qualified and speciallytrained staff with special training in
thiB sphere is in charge and is thefirst of its kind in Canada.
“All this kind of work requires
funds to carry on.

An unconscious tribute to a goodbook'came from a youngster at the
library the other day. Some chanceurge brought him to the library andstarted him browsing, and he came
on a well illustrated book of storiesof Robin Hood and other adventure*. As he made arrangement* toborrow the book he remarked, “Now
I won’t have to read comic book*before I go to bed. There are some
real good books down here.’’Perhaps that is a due to thecomic book situation. They are so“available." Children's appetite for
reading is so enormous that eventhe library can’t hope to providethe quantity of material they seem
to need.The exhibit of the IngersollSketch Club was taken down on Sat-urday after attracting interest allthrough the community and bringing in visitors from Woodstock and
Tillson burg as well. In May wehope to put up the work of thechildren's art group which Miss
Beattie has been directing this winter. This week we have one of thetravelling exhibits arranged by theLondon Public Library. This consists of sketches by Canadian artiste,the on-the-spot impressions of the
scene which the artist makes beforeworking on his finished picture.Books on interior decorating,
colour schemes, painting, papering,books on curtains and slip ^covers,all are very popular right now, re
flecting the seasonal interest in “fixing up the house.’’

“Ninety per cent of the lost timeincurred by industrial workers is dueto non-occupational sickness," states
Dr. Fred Cruikshank, chairman ofthe national industrial health com
mittee of the Health League of Canada."With Canada suffering a los5 of
over a billion dollars a year for sickness and accidents, the problem ofillness prevention is such an import
ant one that it can only be met byco-ordinate effort,” declares Dr.Cruikshank. “But, money is only asymbol and is not a true measure ofthe loss from preventable illness. It
does not tell the story of the elderlyworker who has done his very bestbut now finds himself in distress,
nor of the young workers permanently handicapped with all the attend
ant suffering shared by their families. And let’s not forget their troubles are the troubles which might hitany of us.“The Health League of Canada, in
co-operation with departments ofhealth is enlisting the aid of industrial management to help channel es
sential health facta through to theirstaffs. Information about good eatinghabits is, for example, high on the
list of advice offered by posters, pamphlets, films and other media. The
increasing number bfv plants whichnow provide full or part-time medical and nursing services is an indi
cation that many top executives nowrecognize the fact that attention to
the health of employees is not onlygood business but a highly desirablecontribution to public health.”
Experience has shown, he- concludes,that medical services are a sound in
vestment in the future health andvigor of the human part of the factory.

Just before The Tribune office

Barry. Just able to reach over thecounter, the two young boys put downa quarter each. “We saved it. It’s for

as well as good. More people onstreets and highways means moredanger of accidents. More children

The Wise Man Accepts Help
It Boosts His Self-Reliance
The self-centred person is an unpleasant personality, quite unfitted
for public relations. To paraphraseNeitzsche, he is a slave to himself, so
cannot be a friend to others; he isa tyrant over his neighbors, so cannot have friends.The fault-seeing person is anotherwarped character. His excessive criticism creates tension and builds un
happiness. The fault-finder harp8 somuch on what is wrong with hi8 acq- ,uaintances that they avoid him; he
criticizes the state of the universe '-without doing anything effectively tobetter it He may not be dishonest, or ,
stupid, or shallow-minded, but he is .certainly going the wrong way about ■
bettering hi8 public relations.The envious man is not in much ’better position. The habit in thinking i
in comparisons is a fatal one. Whensomething pleasant occur* it should ■be enjoyed to the full, without sour
ing it by thinking that it is not sopleasant as the experience so-and-sohad. If you desire glory, you may,
envy Napoleon, but Napoleon enviedCaesar, Caesar envied Alexandra the
Great, aid likely Alexandra enviedHercules, who never existed. Thatis why only foolish people are envious, because no matter how great
your success there will always be inhistory or legend someone more suc
cessful than you are.Dislike and hatred are passionswhich vitally affect our physical life
corrupt our humanity. They exist insome persons as a kind of folkwayprejudice, a kind of “general feeling
of againstness”.Fear is a powerful enemy of goodpublic relations. We may be afraid
to do our best for fear our best maynot be good enough. Or we may avoid
people for fear they may disturb ourtranquillity. The way to conquer 8uchfeelings is to analyse the fears coldly
and critically, and then obey Napoleon's exhortation: always take thefirst step toward your enemies and
put on a good countenance.Last among these factors whichmilitate against good public relations
is dependence upon people. We are,whether 'We like it or not, dependent
upon our environment in our questfor happiness, but not in the sense of“leaning”. The character of our civ
ilization makes absolute self-relianceimpossible, but the wise man acceptsprotection and a crutch to the extent
that they help him toward re-establishment of his self-reliance.
Don't expect for example, a totalitarian country with all its promisesof security to give you good public
relations. Parasitic dependence, leaning an the state, have always carriedwith them police forces, secret denun
ciations, suspicion of one’s friendsand even, as in Hitler's Germany,fear of one j family. J*
Out of this roll-call of some of thepositives and negatives of public
relations there arise a few principles:to judge people generously, to bearwith other people’s ideas, and to build
fellow-feeling with our neighbors—all of which add up to getting alongwith people.
An honorable man will be generousin hi8 judgements of men and women.We are all ready to say that if peopleknew the truth behind our lives theycertainly would judge us more chari
tably, so let’* look at the other side.If we knew what is going on behindthe scenes irt other’s lives, we, too,
should be slower to judge harshly.A Sioux Indian once prayed ( “GreatSpirit, help me never judge another
man until I have walked two weeksin his moccasins.”What are our bases of judgement?We may consider worthiness, or success, or consistency, among others,
but all our judgements arise from ourown standards. The pity is that werequire that our friends should be
formed by a more perfect model thanwe are able or willing to imitate. Wetry to impel them to live up to an im
age we have formed of them, and
blame them if they fail.When it come, to judging people by
success or failure we are employingan unfair method. We are evaluatingthem according to the consequences
of their actions, and how would welike that judgment applied to ourbest efforts, some of which went ast
ray because of factors over whichwe had no control?
We might adopt instead the basisof judgment given on an office mottothat was common 20 years ago:
“When the One Great Scorer comes towrite against your name, He writes
not that you won or lost, but how
you played the game.”
As to the demand for consistency
in our public, this is the most fool
ish of all points of judgment People
just are not consistent People are'

If we are going to judge people in
their businesses and professions bywhat we know of the way they vote,
or in any field by what we know ofthem in another field, the judgment
is not going to be very good. Mr. A.having confidence in Dr. J. as a physician, would be asking too much to

th* Maritimes, marsh gras* is harvested for hay.Some type* of farming require*
more graza than others and in different proportion*. In the great,mixed farming area* of the central
provinces, scattered sections throughout the Maritimes and in the valleys |of British Columbia, more than 40
per eent of the farmland is in grass.Beef eattle raiser, and dairy farmersfind that 50 per cent of their farms
must be used to furnish enough summer grazing and winter roughage.On the prairies where grass i» the
natural vegetation, but where cerealsare the main crops, the farming areagenerally contains 30 or 40 per cent
hay and pasture Vegetable, fruit,and cash crop areas grow as little as25 per cent.There are many reasons why farmers must utilize such a large partof their farms for hay or pasture. To
begin with, they furnish the bulk ofthe feed for livestock. Also, being re
latively less productive, grasslandsrequire this large area to produce thenecessary volume. Whatever the rea

Grass is important in livestock raising and the proper handling and useof good grass can greatly reduce
production costs and increase the output of milk, beef, wool and mutton.
All too frequently grasses andclovers are treated only a* roughages,white in fact they have a relatively
high feed value. Analysis show thatalfalfa hay contains 12 per cent digestible protein and timothy has ap

agriculture in Canada (1941) revealsthat grasslands are half a* productive as they could be if proper management practice wire followed.The average yield of hay in Canadawa8 1.25 tons per acre although Bri
tish Calumbia, Nova Scotia, and Ontario yields were above the countrytish Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Ont-
ing at 1.7 tons per acre. While theaverage yield is 1% tons per acre,
it is not uncommon to find farms onwhich 2% tons were produced regularly. Such hay yield* can be dupli
cated on most farms. Pasture and hayproductivity can be measured alsoby the number of animals whichthey support. Taking an average of11 million animals (2.5 million sheep
and 8.5 million cattle) approximately one ton of hay is harvestedper animal in the western provinces,
while in the east it is 1.5 tons. Thismeans that more than one acre ofhay is required for each animal
(sheep and cattle but excludinghorses). Since horses are not generally slaughtered for food they can beleft out of the analysis. With respect to pasture, there are generally
more than two acres of pasture forevery grazing animal in the eastwhile in the west there are from 4
to 15 acres. Good farmer* strive forand usually reach the objective ofone acre of pasture for each grazing
animal. Consider the number of extracattle each farm could support if theproductivity of grasslands could bedoubled. And it can in many areas.The essential principles of success
