So You Think Your Family is a Large One!
United State* and Mexico. Fol
lowing i» Walt Burton1, first
At the time of writing this column jwe are all sitting on the porch of
Mr. Alton E. Robertson’s beautifulranch outside San Antonio, Texas, I
being entertained by his very genialdaughter, Ann, with a nice tall drink
of Coca Cola, with at least four icecubes in it, possibly five. I am reallytoo relaxed to count them. The radio
is playing soothing music. The temperature is at least 105*, but wehave just come in off the range, and
do not want to dwell on the temperature so we will drop back to the
beginning of the operation.The trib to Buffalo was a hub-bub
of wild dreams and conversationsuntil arriving at the Customs. This
was quite an ordeal after the Customs discovered yours truly had toomuch collateral. After a couple hours
of honest lying, they allowed us toproceed. The trip through New York
State was much the same as our ownprovince, but on reaching Pennsylvania we were dressed in sheep skins
with the temperature at a cool 40’.There was a heavy fog and we could
barely see the top of the mountainswhich are actually overgrown hills
as compared to real mountains. Wefound the highway to be very wind
ing and all under repairs.
On arriving in Washington, oureyes were beginning to open verywide. The White House, Washing
ton’s Monument, the Pentagon, theaeroplanes, the traffic and most of
all, the people—the crowds of them,hurrying here, there and everywhere,
no one seemed to us to be going!anywhere in particular, but just
hurrying. We did not have an inter
view with President Truman, but hesent a special representative on a
motorcycle to tell us if we did notslow down we would have a week in
Washington at the State's expense.From Washington we jeeped on toRichmond, Virginia. There was still
plenty of long hills and twisting
highways, and we began to see ourfirst American tobacco. The plants
seemed to be much the same as ours,with the exception the leaves of somewere much larger.By this time we had been adopted
as mascots by the drivers of thetranscontinental Diesel trucks and
when I say trucks, I mean largetrucks—the top of the jeep came
no higher than hub caps of thesetrucks and when they blew their
horns it nearly blew us off the highway. Besides waving at truck drivers
we waved at every car as well asanyone within miles that were vis
ible to us.
From Virginia we entered North
Carolina on to South Carolina,where the scenery was at a low
nothing but waste swamp land and
the odd nice field of tobacco, alsosome cotton, but the mode of living
for the natives sure does not appeal, as a matter of fact it is
about the lowest I have ever seen.On entering Georgia we found
things to be much the same as theCarolinas. On the way through we
picked up a hitchhiker and had quitea conversation. He rode with usabout 15 miles, did all the talking
and had us in a complete state of
confusion and left us with quite asouthern accent

pofat have ____ ____and we have averaged" 60 miles
£er hour. Our first major stop inFlorida was St. Augustine, where
we saw the Atlantic Ocean, the Al-ligator Farm, with 'gators’ ranging
from one year to 1000 years old.There were also snakes of various
descriptions, ostriches and flamingoes, a very pretty bird. Driving
along the Atlantic, our next stop£“8)?IarA)neland and visitcd Marine

the porpoise dive from the waterand take a fish from the mouth of I
the attendant who was on a platform over the water. Next thrill
ing was to watch the diver on the
bottom of the pool feeding theporpoise. °
The temperature was lovely driving along the ocean and the big
atop was Daytona Beach. This iswhere Jchn, Bob and myself got

(the salt water I mean. We hardlynoticed Les Belles Femmes on the
beach, because we were so takenup with the water, Ha Ha Ha.)
If “Yoo Aw) Will Pawdon Me"at this point, I will stop to sit back

ately they had not arrived, so wecontinued on to Panama City,stopping over at Pensacola. In
Pensacola the U.S. Naval Air Armhas full charge of the sky. There
are planes, (Harvards), flying allday and night, so far as the navy
is concerned, there they are on awartime basis. There was an air
craft carrier and two destroyersout a few miles from Pensacola
going through maneuvers. Anotherinteresting point noticed while
driving along the Gulf, were thevarious Mobile Radar Stations,
spaced about four miles apart.With the crack of dawn we
moved on to New Orleans, only tohave our eyes opened wider to the
tune of ocean liners, one fromSpain, another British Honduras.But the highlight of our visit to
the seafront was when an American Customs Officer asked us if
we knew anyone in England, hesaid he knew by the way we walked
that we were true “blokes.” Afterhours of trying to convince him
differently, we headed back for ourhotel.
Our night in New Orleans wasaction-packed. We took a conduct
ed tour of the night life in a limousine about as long as the town’s
ladder truck and black as coal. Wevisited th' e O- r•i g•i na-l Club For-
_ . , U high-powered gamblingcasino, also the "French Quarters”,
where men are men and we did notquestion any of them. After seeing
several floor shows we were chauf-fered home and we then returned
to our normal status of living. Oneoutstanding feature of this trip was
the way we dressed in our wrinkledclothes, and all wondered about the
times we had complained to our“Dear Mothers" about those little
black specks on our white shirtsthat no person else could have seen
anyway..On leaving New Orleans we
moved on to Houston, Texas. Whileenroute we stopped for gas at a
French gas station and really hadtrouble explaining to the natives
where Canada was. They thoughtTruman was our president and
were really suspicious when we toldthem all Canadians did not speak
French. The first stop in Texas wasa naval centre called Orange. While
in Orange I tried to contact a former Ingersoll girl, Hazel Perault,
(formerly Hazel Palmer), but Icould not find her address and as
time was running short we rocketedon to Houston, the main point of
interest being the “Shamrock Hotel”, which is an enormous size.
It has a five-storey garage forparking cars, also a Shamrock
shaped swimming pool, that wassuper deluxe.
Bouncing along in true Texanstyle we arrived at our destination,
San Antonio. There , were largecheers from the jeep as we mopped
the perspiration from our brows.While here John called a friend
of his friend, who in the form ofAnn Robertson and her very close
friend, Joci Levi, showed us Texasin true Texas style. We rode the
range like real cowpokes and whileon the range the moon began to
come up over the mountains, theHerfords were wandering all
around us bellowing in the dusk ofevening and in the distance the
mighty oil derricks with the flamesblazing from an uncapped well.
This is truly Texas. It is not a large
sand pile as most everyone thinks,but the State that the Texans are
proud to be part of and they reallyhave cause to put those stickers on
their windshields, "Built in Texasby Texans,” After arriving back
at the ranch, we proceeded back to"Paleface Ranch”, where the per
sons concerned are experimentingwith Brahmas, crossing them with
Aberdeen Angus, to create an animal to fully endure the heat. Atthe “Paleface” we enjoyed a lovelyswim with the moon beaming onthe water, this was at 11.30 p.m.Was it ever lovely.With the dawn of a new day,
we again were extended some ofthat wonderful Texan hospitalitywhich by now had us quite engrossed and we .were quickly be
coming Texans. I won’t go intofurther detail to you readers, this
might sound boring due to my inability as a journalist, but to we
who received this Texan hospitality, we say Texans are Our choice
of the South. After a very deliciousMexican dinner, we said “Adios”
to our Texan friends, saddled upour jeep and headed for Mexico.
1 might add at this point thatwhile in San Antonio I phoned
Captain Rowland, an old Ingersollboy with the Salvation Army there,
and we had a very enjoyable conversation. Captain Rowland reports
he is gradually becoming a trueTexan.
Well this all for now “NorthernNeighbours”, we hope to be able towrite a climax next week if we
survive this temperature of 110*to-day.

You have heard the stories aboutthe lucky people who buy an old pic
ture, just for the frame, and thendiscover they have a valuable painting. Now we have .the story’ with a
new twist. The other night a gentleman bought a picture, at an auction
sale, just for the frame and discovered that behind the painting was a
photograph. Well, perhaps it was notso valuable to him, but to us, it was
a find. We now have a fine photograph of the students of the Ingersoll Collegiate in 1890.

Must “Sell” Our Community
If We’re To Expand, Prosper
A community, like a product, has to be “sold”. If
residents, businesses or industries are to be attrac
ted to a community, they first must be “sold” on the
facilities, the beauties and the general advantages
that the particular community has to offer. Before
a community can even be considered, it must be
known; it must be talked about far and wide.
There are two main ways of informing the world
at large of the merits and virtues and general desire
ability of one’s own community: one is to push out
reams and reams of publicity material on it; the
other is to sponsor events that will draw outside
people in to see for themselves, and they, in turn,
will spread the word, good or otherwise, about your
community.
An annual event like the twilight races sponsored
by the Ingersoll Turf Club helps to spread the name
of Ingersoll for miles. The Club is to be congratu
lated on its efforts, particularly for the recent meet.
It was one of the best here, and we heard many say
what a fine meet it was, and how well organized,
and excellent racing, and so on. The bigger and
better the meet becomes, farther and farther the
name of Ingersoll is carried. Instead of being
just a community lying between Woodstock and
London, it gains the name and stature to which it
is entitled.
Similarly the Thamesford Y’s Men’s Club are to
be congratulated for .their efforts in behalf of their
community. Their annual garden party, with its
contest to name Miss Oxford County, is becoming
more and more popular and .people from far and
wide look forward to attending the event from year
to year. The good name of Thamesford, as an in
teresting, lively community is being carried farther
and farther.
In 1951 Ingersoll has a golden opportunity to do
the “selling" job of its long history, in addition to
having and providing a whale of a lot of fun. Next
year this town celebrates its 100th birthday as a
corporate body. With everyone pitching in, sharing
the work, the enthusiasm and the fun, we can have
a wonderful time and at the same time advertise
our wares to all.
Shouldn’t Mislead The Britons
Ingersoll is the Real “Cheesetown”
My word, folks, things have come to a pretty
pass.
A team of British agricultural experts is touring
the Dominion studying Canadian fanning methods.
Among other things, they expressed a desire to see
something of the cheese industry—how that famous
Canadian cheese is made. And guess where the
British experts—the innocents—were taken—to
Woodstock! Can you believe it—and the town that
i9 called “Cheesetown” completely ignored! Why,
cheese was being made here when Woodstock was
nothing but a mosqufto-ridden swamp, where Ing
ersoll and ‘district men dumped their refuse. We’re
told (by Ingersoll experts) that anything Wood-
stock knowg about cheese-making was picked up
over here . . . We weep at the thought of those
Englishmen going back home with the impression
that Woodstock is the fount of all cheese wisdom.
Another nine miles and they’d have seen the real
McCoy.
Such Irresponsible Allegations
Should Not Be ToleratedSenator McCarthy, of the U.S., is not the type
of man, we feel, to have any say in the government
of any country. If such exists, machinery to re
move him from the senate in the interests of his
country should be started in motion.
Senator McCarthy, you will recall, is the man who
got headlines throughout the U.S. by charging that
the State and other departments were riddled with
Communists or Communist sympathizers. He named
numbers. Then he started naming various U.S.
officials, big and small, at home and abroad. Some
of the latter returned from all corners of the earth
to answer Mr. McCarthy’s charges.
Out of it all came exactly nothing—nothing but
a tot of notoriety for McCarthy, and undeserved
smears on the names of some very able men doing
a job for their country. And while a committee
which investigated McCarthy’s allegations found
nothing to substantiate them, the damage had been
done—the nation got the impression that Commun
ists were hiding behind every tree, and that their
officials could not be trusted. And those labelled
officials will never be able to live down the allega
tions made against them, because it’s the charge
that is remembered, not the denial.
Meanwhile, apparently nothing happens to Mc
Carthy. He made his charges in the senate so he’s
privileged. He can say anything he wants about
anybody, and none can say boo, let alone sue him
'* for libeL To our mind, privileges, which also hold
good in our Canadian Houses, is not designed to
permit deliberate, irresponsible, untrue character
ruining statements and allegations.
Something should be done about Mr. McCarthy.
It is his type that makes good men think twice
before entering public service.

Americans To Be Commended
For Leadership in Korea
Our great cousins to the south, the Americans,
are to be commended for their initiative in Korea,
in taking up the challenge when the Communist
North Korean forces attacked the U.S.-supervised
south. To fight back was, of course, the only course
to follow unless the democracies were again to find
themselves black-mailed into giving in to every Com
munist demand until they eventually had to fight
or give themselves up.
At the moment things are not going too well,
except for the North Koreans. But then the at
tacker must always have the initial advantage be
cause he has been planning it for some time. He
has his advantage only until the attacked catch
their breath and begin bringing into play the mighty
strength and resources they possess.
U.S. leadership in this United Nations effort to
stem Communist aggression is a natural develop
ment in keeping with the U.S.’ stature as No. 1
nation in the democratic world. It is one of the re
sponsibilities of world leadership. Britain had this
policing responsibility for 150 years or more; her
troops were fighting someone somewhere every year,
it seemed. Her strength made her great but the
same responsibility made her poor.
We think this Korean affair will be quite an eye-
opener for many Americans, among whom were the
severest critics Britain ever had in connection with
her management of world affairs. And while Bri
tain was pretty well on her own trying to keep the
peace here, there and everywhere, the U.S. is gain-
' ing support from friends everywhere, including our
own country. It would have been very easy for the
U.S. to say to h - - - with Korea, and simply back
up and leave. Instead, they saw their responsibility
and accepted it. They will prove themselves cap
able of wearing the mantle of leadership handed
down by the nation from which they sprung.
It Isn’t Only Luxuries
That Seem To Be Shrinking
Have you noticed how the trend is daily turning
towards smaller, smaller and yet smaller things?
Everyone nowadays seems to be striving to pack
more and more into less and less. That they are
pretty successful at it must be admitted.
Radios have become progressively tinier and a
wrist watch radio a la Dick Tracy isn’t at all un
likely. The specialists are turning out radio tubes
that could get lost in a match box, transformers
that barely cover a thumbnail, television parts one-
tenth the normal size.
Small, pint-sized automobiles are becoming very
popular. Furniture is getting smaller (and less
comfortable say many old timers). A United States
firm has come up with a pocket-sized fan powered
by two batteries whose combined weight would only
get a shudder from a spring balance.
There is no doubt about it. Life’s luxuries are
shrinking smaller than ever. And It doesn't seem
to stop there, this shrinkage. Take the homely,
yet lovable, dollar bill. Brother, there’s real shrink
age for you!

What Others S a y:
Maybe The Fault is With the Law
The ‘plainsclothes’ traffic policeman had to come
sooner or later—and his arrival is entirely our own
fault—so why kick about it? The law states that no
car must travel at a speed in excess of 50 m.p.h.
anywhere, and until that law is changed it is the
duty of the police to enforce ft. Everyone slows
down on the familiar sight of the black and white
cruiser, then steps on the accelerator when it has
gone. They are no cure for speeding, the only cure
is when any car might house a police officer. T^at
way speeding can be cut down.
What may be at fault, though, is the law and not
the driver. Why should a man pay good money for
a car powerful enough to safely travel at 70 or 80
m.p.h., and be forced to do only 50? The best per
formance of many modern can comes around the
00 and upwards mark.
True, there will always be offenders—both know
ing and unknowing—and of the two the one who is
really dangerous is the unknowing one. He is the
i man who gets on the outside lane and trickles along
at 25 or 30. He forces other, man competent, mot
orists to take unnecessary chances.
Maybe driving tests are at fault, too. AU a per
son baa to do at present is take the official out for
Legislation I* Needed
The BB gun is a menace to property. Just thisweek seven lights in Balmoral Park were destroyed“X the .lead pellets. That represents a wastage of$52.50 in hard-earned cash. The inconvenience thatmay be caused to softball enthusiasts and others
using the park at night, when lights are required,cannot be figured in dollars and cents. It is costing
tile parents of the youth or youths in possession of
HB gun8 money every time a pellet is discharged.What parents ought to do is round up the BB gunsand relegate them to a place where thougtless boys
cannot get their hands on them.Governments could do much to relieve the distressof the taxpayers insofar as the weapons are concerned by making It an offence to manufacture BBguns, let alone fire them. The municipal authorities
here ought to pass a by-law making the ownershipof the guns an offence and provide for a stiff penalty for an infraction.Recently we observed, and chastised, a group of
teen agers firing at bird8 along town streets. It’stime something was done locally to curb this sortof thing. Any action would be better than none.
Municipal employees who have to make street light
replacements and many others would breathe nsigh of relief. —Aylmer Express__
• Crazy and Dangerous
“?d dan»erous fad of cluttering upthe windshield of car or truck with a lot of swayingdoo-dads brings well-merited criticism from theSaskatoon Star-Phoenix It was time something was
said about this.Driving today on any street or highway i, a job
that calls for constant concentration and unobstructed vision. That is why windshields are made of
glass or other transparent material. For the safetyof others, all others who use the highway, as well
as the occupants of any car, these windshields shouldba kept clean and clear. Even a small sticker adds,some hazard but these imitation birds and dolls*which dangle in front of the driver's eyes are astanding invitation to suicide and manslaughter.The other day a magistrate fined a motorist whowas attempting to comb his hair and ateo drive. In
the interests and common safety most people willapprove of that magistrate’s decision and they wouldalso approve of a similar action against those re.sponsible for these windshield puppet shows.

In The Garden
By A. P. Barker
As I stand in the garden I cannothelp but look at a lovely Orange Daylily that was kindly given to me last•fall, very easy to grow and certainlya very different flower.
Those Phiox you planted last summer are now all in bloom, and what
is more dazzling than a few Phloxhtre and there. Some of the newervarieties are very lovely. The delph- •
iniums have died down and now youshould cut them down and let them ,get ready to bloom again this fall.It does seem a pity that we have jto see the regal die down, however, in j
a garden there is something coming ion all the time to please the eye. i
If you have a favorite delphinium jbe sure to save the seed and plant it ]at once. I find that you will get bet
ter germination that way than keep- |ing it for a long time.
Get some regal lily seed thia fall Iand plant it so that you may enjoy aprofusion of bloom in two years.
1 have visited some more gardens iand it is very difficult to pick out any icue better than another, but I did see 1
the most lovely clamatis I have everseen both in color and size, I asked ]
how they got such lovely bloom and •the reply was “I am a flower lover”, iguess the rest.
Dahlias have started to bloom andnow they need lots of water and fer
tilizer to produce choice flowers. Youmust trim your plants to one stem toproduce mammoth bloom such as seen
at Dahlia Shows.We have been well blessed with
rain and keep the ground well cultivated to hold the moisture.The climbing roses have done ,
blooming and new growth is coming. 'Be sure to train it where you can j
take care of it and not let it hang .over your archway where it mightcutch someone as they pass under. .
The first gladioli are in bloom andfrom now on we can look forward to
a wonderful variety of colors. Cutthem when the first bloom is out andyou will have a lovely decoration that 1
will last for days as each bud opensup.
A lot of the first planting of vegetables is over now and you shouldhave the second lot in by now for
fall use.All the annuals are coming along
fast and already some are in bloomand no reason for not having a lovely
vase of flowera all the time now.I hope you have all your cactusall out now for a rest and it seems
they like to get outdoors, after a longWinter on some shelf in the parlor.
Do you drop the odd worm into thegoldfish, well remember they like a
tasty morsel the same as we do.I believe the Martins are getting
ready to say good-bye already aftera month or two of their continualchatter. The next two weeks I will
be on holidays, hope to have somefresh stories for you. Plant a treetoday!

For three years. Mrs. Mollie t
Landon, 194 Victoria street, Inger- (soli, had watched Edith Spicer tedge her out in the Miss Oxford tCounty beauty contest. Last year <
Miss Spicer was crowned queen ofthis county, and irr~her turn con- ,
tinued on to win the Miss Western ’Ontario competition. <One of the biggest thrills in
Mrs. Malcolm Landon’s life, was .
that her keen competitor up untilthis year, was asked to make thepresentation to her of a silver
trophy and dozen roses.Mollie, aged 21 and very well
known in Ingersoll, is employed ina local department store. She is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. SamCrane, 192 Victoria street, and her
husband, Malcolm, is an employeeat the Morrow Company. There
are seven children in the Cranefamily; four girls and three boys,
but Mollie claims that she is thefirst one to ever enter a beauty
competition.After the competition, as shestool shaking with excitement, we
checked Miss Oxford County’smeasurements. To us they seemed
pretty perfect, height. 5 ft. 3 in.;weight, 118 lbs.; bust, 34 in.;
waistline 24 in., and hips, 35.The smiling brunette, said that
she would love to enter the MissWestern Ontario competition and
that she hopes to do as well asEdith Spicer did last year.
"Does modelling interest you?,”she was asked. "Yes, if I was given
an opportunity I would like to bea model very much. I have only
modelled once and that was forPassmore Store in 1949 in the
Ingersoll Fashion Show and I likeit very much.”
How did you think your chanceswere before the show? “I wasn’tvery sure,” replied Mrs. Landon.
"One thing I never thought wasthat a married woman would take
the honours."Just before Miss Oxford County
was to return to the stage again toallow the capacity audience at
Thamesford to see her in her glorywe asked the new queen if she
wore any good luck charm whichmight have brought her luck.
"The only thing that I can thinkof is my shoes,” she laughed. You
see I bought these shoes for thecompetition last year and my fam
ily suggested that I wear them, again. When I looked in the paper
. after the Miss Toronto contest, 1saw that Miss Toronto, (RubyMann), was wearing shoes similar
to mine. Perhaps this is silly, butthey could have brought me luck.”
Something, probably her charmand poise, brought Mollie Landon
her luck, and after the competitionI the other eight competitors gather
ed around her with congratulations.Two girls in particular were
looking admiringly at Miss OxfordCounty for they were younger than
she was and they had placed second and third. In the eyes of both
Miss Pat Johnson, 15, of Centre-iile. and Miss Pat Priddle, 17, of
R. R. No. 4, Ingersoll, you couldsee the reflection that someday they
might be the happy and proud win
ners of this competition.Miss Johnson, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Howard Johnson of Cen
treville, is entering second form
at the Ingersoll Collegiate in Sep-
tember; while Miss Priddle is an
employee of the Ingersoll Telephone Company and is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Priddleof R. R. No. ’4, Ingersoll.
Entries in the beauty contestwere Patricia Brewer, 16, of R. R.
No. 3, Ingersoll; Pat Johnson, 15,Centreville; (Marylin Granger, 16,
Putnam; Shirley Kipp, 15, Beach-vilke; Joan Willman, 17, Tillson-burg; Pat Priddle, 17, R. R. 4, Ing
ersoll; Mollie Landon, 21, Inger
soll, and Louise Fruturol, 15,Beachville. Contest judges wereMurray Foreman of Windsor and
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Gregory of
New York.

skunks which are about as keen
about him as he is about them.It all began when Ed awakened
one morning, to sniff the distinctive odor of skunk throughout theneighborhood. He started to lookaround and Anally found the bodyof momma skunk lying where it
had been hit by a train during thenight. Ed kept hunting about,
eventually spotting six familiartails standing up in the grass not
150 feet from the station wherehe spends his days.A brave man, indeed, he approached a little nearer to thetails and there was a mad flurryand they all vanished down a holehe didn't even realize was there.Momma skunk had forced agroundhog to vacate, then had
taken over and this little familywas growing up under Ed’s eyes
without him knowing a thing about
But, at that stage with mommagone, Ed decided he had better do

something about it.So, the first night he left a plateof bread and milk at the edge of
the hole and left Next morning thefood waa gone. He left another
full plate. Again it vanished. Pretty soon they'd be -waiting for themeal as Ed arrived and aa he stoodback and watched, the five littlenumbers polished it off In no time.
Then as they began to get usedto one another, Ed decided he was
going to have them eat while heheld the plate. They were a bit
shy about it at first, but gradually got used to Ed, his scent and
his voice, and came up to him likeold pals, as though they’d grown
up together.If the skunks (still very much inpossession of ALL their faculties),happened to be resting below when
Ed arrived with their snack, Edmerely sat at the edge of the hole,thumped a bit, and shouted suchthings as "dinner’s ready, fellahs”, or “Come on up, Petunia,"or “wake up, sleepy heads—sup
per’s ready,” and invariably thefive little orphans snuggled up to
Ed, wiping the sleep from theireyes, and then finished off the
plateful. They showed absolutelyno fear, in fact positively purred
when Ed scratched their backs, orjoggled them about by the tail.Mr. Byerman, very much a na
ture lover, invited The Tribune outto witness one of his little tete-a-tetes with the little orphans, andsure enough, after a few friendlyI words,, first one white nose, thenanother, appeared out of the hole
and set to with gusto.But only two came.Not the five.So Ed is a worried man these
days as he wonders over the fate ofthree of his wild but happy littlefamily.

Listen to the Knees Knock
As Free Press Goes for Ride
HARRIETSVILLE
By Harry EisenFree Press Sports Writer
Gravenhurst, — We went 120 milesper hour with Harold Wilson and
Miss Canada IV Sunday. What? Youdon’t believe it? Folks, that isn't thenoise of castinets you hear, that’s our
teeth still chattering and our kneesstill knocking.
Now don’t go and get the impression that we were afraid or anythinglike that. Reckless speed has been our
specialty since we won the Bordenstreet scooter race in 1919 at the age
of four. And when Wilson asked usif we wanted a ride in Mias Canada
which is by the way, Canada’s hopein the Harmsworth Trophy races andthe realm of world speed boat racing,
we naturally jumped at the chance.Some spectators got the idea that
we didn’t care to make the trip because Wilson’s mechanics CharleyVolker and Waiter Harvey had to
hold us down while a life jacket wasattached to us. But we were only kid-
■ dmg.
Not Nervous . . . Much
Then again, when we slipped get
ting into die boat, the word was passed around that we had collapsed.
Aho pay no attention to the storyabout Wilson thinking that he heard
a loud knock in Miss Canada’s motorand it turned out to be our heart.Pay no attention to those stories.
Actually, we got a terrific kick outof the ride, especially when Miss
Canada whizzed into some roughwater and we bounced about threefeet out of our seat. It was the windthat made our hair stand straight up,nothing else, you understand. I
The high-pitched whine that somepeople heard, wasn't us. It was Miss
Canada’s twin-engine Rolls RoyceGriffon motors blasting out its cream
of power. (There’s only one Harry.•—Ed.).Seriously though, we can’t under-'
stand why Wilson's hobby is speedboat racing. On land, the Ingersoll
sportsman is a cautious almost reticent person. But when Wilson stepsin his tempermentul i»park-nozcd
craft he undergoes a complete transformation. You should see the way
his face lights up when he flips thesupercharger and Miss Canada sur
ges away with a roar, her exhaustpipe belching grey acrid smoke.
Real Speed Demon
We noticed this a few minutes after we got under way. Miss Canadawas sauntering along about 80 milesper hour, when he pressed a button
to give her more speed. And when sheseemed to lift herself ahead in a
surge that left our stomach half amile behind us you could almostfeel the flow of satisfaction that ex
uded from hiin.Frankly, the trip in Miss Canada
at 120 rn.p.h. is something we willremember for a long time. We will
remember the islands flashing by uslike leaves in a gale. We will remem
ber the slap, slap of Miss Canada’shull against the waves, as if a thousand hammers were beating against
her.We’ll remember the wind that rip
ped at our faces like unseen fingers.Me will remember the feeling we hudwhen Wilson made a skidding turn
and a scfentificai term known as centrifugal force tried to haul us off the
boat. We will remember the flickering needles on Miss Canada’s dashboard as we z?«>mt*d over Lake Mus-
koka. We will remember the smallskiffs and motor boats that scurried
to places of safety as we shot by* Wewill remember the looks of envy fromthe hundreds of spectators who lined
the docks in front of Tom Greavette’sbeat works as we came ashore. Yes,
we will remember all those thingsfor a long time.

Free Press Photographer
The biggest thrill I could imagine.That’s easy. A ride in Miss CanadaIV, Harold Wilson’s and every Cana
dian’s hope to take the world powerboat speed record and the 1950
Harmsworth. ♦Last October at Picton, Harold
said that he could have taken someof the newsmen for a ride except fora shortage of the high-octane gus
which Miss Canada drinks by the barrel.
Saturday afternoon Harold paidoff on his promise and we had our
ride.A flip of a lucky coin got me the
first ride and I went out with Charles Volker, Harold’s driver-mechanic,and Walter Harvey Ingersoll mech
anic who almost acts as nursemaidto the big boat.
Siow to start because the motorwas hot from a trial run minutes
before, she almost lifted out of thewater as the Rolls Royce Griffon en
gine caught and threw us forwardhurtling down the Muskoka Lake bayin front of Greavette’s boat house at
Gravenhurst.
The slap, slap of the boat on the
waves, the jet-J&e whine of the superchargers and the water blurring
past my vision gave me a feeling ofspeed far greater than anything youcan get in a plane or car.
Goggles covered my eyes, but itwas as if someone was pulling out
my hair as the wind whistled by.Down the bay and back at about
120 rfiiles per hour, the shoreline andislandK zoomed past us. The chop onthe wajier jarred the backbone as the
boat flapped her steps along thewaves.*The six-mile run seemed to be
over m seconds and the boys waitingon the dock wanted to know “how
was it”. You can’t describe the sensations of a ride like that Just the“thrill of a life time”

Fertilize Water
Catch More Fish
Excessive fishing and Jack of natural fish food is making it increasingly difficult for anglers to find
trout and other high quality gameand food fish in easily accessiblelakes.
This problem can be alleviated by
the judicious use of commercial fertiliser, suggest scientists of C-I-L*sagricultural chemicals division whohave made a study of the fertilityneeds of- lake waters in Canada over
the past few years.Fertilizers, they claim, promote the
growth of microscopic plant and animal organisms called plankton, themajor source of food for forage type
fish. Fertilizer should be broadcastfrom a boat in water of moderate
depth. Fertilization of sunny parts ofponds and lakes is important since
plankton are more abundant in theseareas. A special fertilizer mixture
with analysis 12-24-12 is availablefor lake treatment.Tests have shown that proper fer
tilization can considerably boost theannual weight increase in a catch usually expected from the fish in theunfertilized waters of poor soil districts. In highly developed farming
country, lakes and streams are naturally enriched by drainage water
from well-fertilized and manuredfields and treatment with fertilizeris not as essential as for lakes in poorsoil areas.

INGERSOLL
Bleacher Bill Says:1 have been coming to this townoff an,i on for over 30 years and Ihave watched its progress kith in
civic matters and sports. If I wereasked to name which town in Ontario
held the best record for sports I wouldwithout hesitation say Ingersoll.Sports, as you know, run -in cycles.
For a few years you have good teamsir< baseball and hockey or some other
sport and then one sport gives overto the other.
Ingersoll ha* turned out some very
fine baseball teams in the past andwill no doubt do it again. This town
ha, turned out some splendid player*and beside* our own Oscar Judd,
®obl^ Henderson, CharlieKelly and Tee Daniels are names toconjure with when you are speakingof Uncle Sam’s national game.
Years ago the Ingersoll Baseball
Club used to bring the Toronto MapleLeaf, of the International Leaguehere for exhibition games and al-
though Ingersoll did not win thegame the pros did not do any clown
ing for if they did they would havebeen defeated.
I recall one incident when Toronto played here when Bob Henderson just could not be put out, He
went to bat four times and each timebit safely. Toronto had one of its
best pitchers on the mound at thattime and if memory serves me right,Bob was given a chance to go south
with Toronto next season. I cannotrecall what year it was but lots of
the old timers could tell you. Bobbywas only a kid at that time but he
stood out like a sore thumb for thecrack Toronto hurlers.
This is only one incident, but if Ihad the time and inclination I couldgive you many more storie, of the
feats of Ingersoll boys, but now itis adioe, farewell and all the rest ofit.
