Can’t Play Music
Says Association
Revoking License
Ingersoll Community Centre are
at the moment in a battle with theComposers, Authors and Publish
ers’ Association and there may ormay not be record music played in
the arena this winter.Larry Harris, arena manager,
says there will be music. ASCAPsays there will not be unless the
arena pays the fees for the ASCAPlicense permitting it. The arena,
at the moment, has no intention ofpaying the fees.
ASCAP purports to representthe interests of the composers,
authors and musicians whose musicis being played every time therecord player is used. A big majority of musicians, composers and
authors are so represented, soASCAP issues licenses to arenas
every year, basing fees on totalpaid admissions for the year-Early this year parliament gaveASCAP the right to raise its fees,
(Ingersoll’s was around $22), andMr. Harris was asked to submit
figures on which this year’s licensefee would be based. He declined to
do so. Every time ASCAP wrote,Mr. Harris, following the action of
many arenas, ignored it. Finallya letter came saying ASCAP had
revoked Ingersoll’s license, andmusic controlled by them could not
be played here. Since nearly allthe best music is apparently in
their books, officially Ingersoll isvirtually without a record to play.
Mr. Harris has intimated, however, that music for skating will go
on as usual. Many other arenasare alse preparing to fight the con
trols. The money is not necessarily the big factor, said Mr. Harris,
but it was the principle of thething.

An Open Letter To Hon. Brook Claxton,
Minister of Defence
Dear Mr. Claxton:
We know you’re very busy with the Korean situa
tion, and the general building up of our defences,
but we think it would be well worth your while to
devote at least a minute or two to the plight of our
armouries here. Something done about it might
help Canada’s defence program materially.
The place is falling apart, to say the least, and
it’s going to be worse if action isn’t taken soon.
Once a beautiful lawn fronted the buildings. Now
it’s just a dust bowl. More and more people are
using it as a parking lot and once these parking
meters are in here, it will be hard to believe that
it ever was anything but a parking lot. It would
not cost an awful lot of money to fence the place
sufficiently to keep the cars off, and then put in a
nice lawn, with some shrubs and trees. It could
be a thing of beauty, with the occasional bench so
weary shoppers or perhaps visitors could rest in
the shade, have a coke or read the paper or just
contemplate the beauty of the surroundings.
Then there’s that board walk. Honestly, sir,
that must have been laid when corduroy roads were
in fashion. Why no one has broken their necks
before this is a surprise to most people. It has
completely disintegrated. And the unfortunate
thing is that when a big do is held here, often it
is held in the armouries, and it is no advertisement
for Ingersoll when you have to try to explain off
thd appearance and condition of the building and
its surroundings.
At the moment, you are trying desperately hard
to interest young men in joining Canada's armed
forces. How can you expect them to be interested
if the department i8 not interested enough to keep
its buildings in shape. As a result, there is too
little interest in the army in this area, as you can
readily find out by checking.
Frankly, it shouldn’t cost too much to turn the
armouries from the neglected near-ruin that it. is,
into a focal point of this community and area. A
little attention and interest in it now might easily
pay the whole country dividends.
Sincerely,
T. R. Lee,
Editor.
Going To The C.N.E.7
Don't Forget “Sailors, Floozies"
Well, there should be a sell-out crowd at the
Canadian National Exhibiton’s art gallery again
this year.
Normally, few people go to it; or, shall we say,
it is not one of the most popular exhibits there.
But every year, it seems, someone, (some self-
appointed savior of the public morals), raises his
or her bands in horror st one particular picture,
and the papers take it up, discussing whether it is
or is not fit, and so forth, and the sum total of it
all is that thousands of people pour into the art
gallery to see what all the fuss is about.
As you know, the quickest way to put a book
on the best-seller list is to put it on the banned
list It’s the same with movies or paintings.
Last year the painting was Susannah and the
Elders—a harmless piece of work which showed
a few gentlemen peeking around the trees while
Susannah was swimming—or preparing to swim in
the nude. A very natural performance and we
challenge the men of this community to deny they
would not do exactly the same thing—out of sheer
curiosity, of course. But anyway, someone sug
gested it would be harmful to show, and it should
be banned. But it wasn’t, -and the place was
packed.
This year it’s “Sailors and Floozies’’ causing all
the trouble. The picture depicts three U.S. sailors
with three women, the majority of them drunk.
Once again Controller David Balfour, whom we
venture to suggest, wouldn’t know a Rembrant
from a Petty, is crying its “evils” to the skies.
Controller Balfour is always finding something
sinful in a book, or a film, or a show, or a paint
ing, and everything he lambastes turns into a ter
rific crowd-enticer.
If nothing had been said, we doubt if anyone
would have noticed Sailors and Floozies. No one
would have heard of it Now everybody has, and
naturally everyone will want to see what caused
all the fuss, and the C.N.E. art gallery will be
packed again. And that’s the psychology of it all.
We wonder when the big papers will stop being
suckers for that sort of thing. Those people who
disclaim against the paintings get a certain amount
of publicity (which, to our mind, does not reflect
any particular credit on their process of thinking
or appreciation), and the exhibit is a sell-out.
Frankly, we prefer the midway.

However, the game proved a veritable slaughter of the innocents, as
he Colts won 43-6, (estimated).Mossley protested manager Gibson's

Gadgets To Stick On Windshields
Should Be Outlawed By Police
One of man’s greatest attractions, probably, is
the fact that he is always willing to try something
new and different. In that way he progresses—
though just on one or two occasions it does seem
that he has almost decided that he wants to find
out no more.
Whoever invented this jingling little doo-dad that
can be attached to the windshields of cars should
be shot It is difficult to believe that so many mot
orists could be so insane as to imagine them an
added beauty to the car. Yet, on at least two or
three autos out of every 10, you can find a spider
on a string, a monkey that jumps around, birds that
rock. Only one has carried a true message, and
that was a skull and crossbones seen on one Ohio
car. They swung lazily from side to side as the
car went along. Maybe there was some point in
those.
Without exception they cut down drastically
(more so than is realized) on the driver’s range of
vision. They distract his attention from the road.
They are an added strain on-the eyes when driving,
because their movements often confuse with gen
uine movements on the road.
And the argument that they keep the kiddies
happy is just so much hooey. We never yet have
found the child who doesn’t ride all the way (even
if it’s only half a block) with their eyes glued to
the window.
The police should declare them a menace to safe
driving, and outlaw these silly gadgets before they
cause more death and suffering on our overloaded
roadways.
Notes on the Editor's Pad •
With August 22nd looming large on the horizon,
we wondered last week just how we’d get the
papers out to their destinations. Maybe by car
someone suggested.
But there’s a fault in that idea. It would be
fine for the papers that go to the Ingersoll rural
routes, and places like Thamesford, Dorchester,
Putnam, Mossley and so on. Then we started
looking at the subscription lists—and were only
just able to suppress a shudder. ' Amongst some
of the farther distant addresses to which The Tri
bune is sent are Moose Jaw, Sask.; New Bruns
wick, Buckingham, Quebec; Winnipeg, Manitoba;
Banff, Alta.; Halifax, N.S.; Regina, Sask.; Revel
stoke, B.C.; Edmonton, Alta.; and Vancouver, B.C.
And then, of course, that's just in Canada, (and
gosh knows, one goes to Baffin Land, and the
Yukon and the Northwest territories.) Papers
also go north, south, east and west in the United
States. At a rough guess, it would take three
months to deliver by car. And even then, there’d
atill be the ones that go to England, Scotland and
Ireland.

T.L.C. and C.C.L. Old Age Pension
Briefs Are Steps In Right Direction
It was good to read of the briefs of the Trades
and Labor Congress and the Canadian Congress of
Labor on the Old Age Pension question. The ques
tion of security for our older citizens is one that
needs reviewing and careful study. Certainly the
provisions, as they stand now, are little more than
a drop in the bucket of necessity.
The ?60 a month pension proposed by the T.L.C.
is something nearer a decent mark. Because why,
if a man has worked hard all his life but was not
able to contribute to a pension scheme, should he
be forced into a meagre $40 a month existence—
for that is all it is.
“This fund, (for payment of pensions) and the
whole procedure should be reviewed every 10 years
by Parliament”, says the T.L.C., with which all
right-minded people will firmly agree.
The C.C.L. brief, suggesting a minimum of $50
• month, also suggests that thie amount be sup*
plemented by a productivity bonus of two per cent
* year on a cumols tire basis. They alm also at a
comprehensive program covering old age pensions,"
health services, sickness cash benefits, disability
benefits, etc.

Weekly and daily newspapers are supplementaryto each other. The weeklies provide that type ofnews local to their communities which could not beprovided as well by other media. Yet it is importantto thear readers, because it deals with the events oftheir day-to-day lives.
"Weekly editors are more than just editors oftheir newspapers, though that, m itself, is a very
busy life. Almost invariably they are communityleaders, busy in all those activities which make for
the sound, healthy and decent citizenship one findsni the towns and villages in rural parts.
"Good weekly newspapers and good towns go
together. One can pick up an Ontario or Quebecwedcly newspaper and tell almost at a glance thekind of a town in which it i» published. A progres
sive town usually has a progressive newspaper, andvice versa. This is not by chance. It is almost ihi-

papers. Partly this is due to a reduction in- thonumbers. In earlier days there were often two or
three in a town which could not support so manyon a basis which allowed the production of good
newspapers.

Timmy Drops Out of Sky
Sends Cots on Way Howling
By Walt Burton
Young .Timmy dropped out of the
sky into the laps of Betty and Mrs.Sam Smith, Catharine St., one fine
evening last spring, and he’s now thefamily pet.
Tim is a black squirrel. According to Mrs. Smith, while they weresitting in the back yard this little
black squirrel came into theirmidst, took a nonchalant look around,
ducked out, then started returningthe following nights, becoming
braver and bolder every time.After getting peanuts placed onthe back step morning and afternoon, “Timmy” became real brave
and began taking the odd peanutfrom Mrs, Smith’s hand. As timemoved on, Tim began visiting sev
eral times a day, becoming realchummy with Betty Smith, who
coaxed him to sit upon her lap 'andtake his loot Incidentally Betty is
the only person who can coax theblack squirrel into lingering awhile.Tim has officially been adopted
as chief pet at 27 Catharine St.,
and he’ll put any cat to flight witha good bite on the tail. His rationon the weekly shopping list consists
of one bag of peanuts, plus “bag of cookies.one

on carry on the old, antiquated phrases in their business life.The business executive who wishesto avoid stele and trite phraseologyshould examine the letters going outfrom his office. Notice how manywords and phrases are repeated overand over again. Mark these and callthem to the attention of the writer;
insist upon having obsolete terms replaced by lively terms such as you
might use in conversation.Most cliches were strong and vividwhen they were new, but, constantusage has rubbed away their bloom.It’s not easy, especially for a bu;>yman, to expend that little effort in

words are the writer’s bricks withwhich he byilds. The wider a man’svocabulary the greater the fund upon

bow of every, letter writer.
Shakespeare, that master of words,once wrote:"When words are scarce
they are seldom spent in vain." Mostexecutives are pressed for time, withmany demands upon their attention.
Too often the letters they write couldhave added to them what the 17th
Century scientist, Pascal, said in apostscript to a 20-page letteri: "Inope you will pardon me for writing
such a long letter, but I did not havetime to write a shorter one/ Here is
a truth within a paradox. A short,well-thought-out letter takes moretime to write than a long, repetitious
one, "because the writer has spentthat little extra time in marshalling
his thoughts, and eliminating all unnecessary words and ideas.Extra words lessen the impact andimport- of your message. Comparethese phrases: “This service, which is
offered without any charge whatsoever, is available to all our custom
ers”; and “This free service is available to all our customers.” And these:“The feasibility of granting vnnr re
quest for financial assistance is leftto the well-seasoned discretion of our
manager” with “Your request for aloan depends upon the experienced
judgment of our manager." In bothcases, isn’t the second phrase theclearer?Because words ire fewer doe3 notmean that courtesy should be sacrificed. There is a difference betweenbeing concise and being curt. In theirefiorts to keep their letters short,some business men verge on the side
of rudeness. Once again you shouldlook over your outgoing mail. If most
of your letters consist only of a paragraph or two, it is'possible that you
can make them warmer and more human by adding a few friendly sen
tences. Simple words, like “please”and “thank you”, are often overlooked in the aim for brevity.

A Good Letter
Is Advertisement
The characteristics of a good let
ter can be said to be those of a good
advertisement: it should contain what
the writer wants to say and what the
customer wants to read about. Par
ticular care should be taken to in
clude in a letter all that belongs there.
Too many letters have been writtento supply information missing from
previous ones that were vague andambiguous.The good letter is the clear and simple letter. Clarity of expression is essential if you are to put your mes
sage across. After one of the latePresident Roosvelt’s fireside chats,
he received this letter from a littlegirl: “1 heard your speech over theradio about the banks. It couldn’t
have been much of a speech becauseI understood every word of it" This
short sentence contains the essentialclarity of a good letter.Many of us have developed a dislike for writing letters, and we sometimes feel that writing is an awkward
form of communication, a second-rate substitute for conversation.Speaking to^a person is easier, morenatural.A man might write "Dear Sir:
Your esteemed favor of the 20th instant has juat come tor hand. In replywe beg to |tate in reference to same
that we are remitting herewith ourcheque as per your statement in the
amount of $89.95,” That same man,using a telephone, would likely say,"I’m sending you a cheque for $89.95.
Thanks for waiting for it."Before beginning to write or dic
tate, ask yourself this question: “Ifhe were sitting across the desk fromme, how would I say ft?”
Although the written word losesthe power thnt comes front emphasis
and inflection in conversation, lettersare not a second choice of communication. They are a power in theic own
right, und sometimes cun be moreforceful, more intimate and more conclusive than speech.Let's get the idea out of our headsthat there are tup languages—Eng
lish and Business English. BusinessEnglish is simply good, effective
English. The ability to use languagewell is nowhere mnre effective thanin business correepondenct-A Incident

Subway Suggested To Thamesford's New Post Office
Snip of Scissors
O p e n s Fine Bldg
A subway under th« highway toremove the hazard for folks crossing
from the nortfi side to the post office, was urged by T. J. McFarlan,
speaking on behalf of the community at the official opening of the newoffice Saturday afternoon. Mr.Clarke Murray, M.P., for Oxford,was the speaker, and J. A. Fla
herty, post office inspector at London, declared the building officially
open and cut the ribbon across thedoorway, signifying the post officewas now ready for business.
Many residents were on handfor the opening of the neat new
structure. Dr. T. M. Weir, actedas chairman for the occasion. His
first act was to have Mr. Jack Keys,at 79, the oldest man born inThamesford, raise the new flag
alongside the post office. It was aproud day for Postmaster E. R.Patterson, who — -----■ -----the culminationdream.
Mr. tMcFarlan noted that while
the post office was on the southside of the highway, nearly 80 per
cent, of the population was on thenorth side. “This highway is oneof the busiest there is,” he said.
‘‘‘Most of the people who patronizethe post office live on the other
side of the road, and 'many areelderly people and youngsters.
is a terrific hazard to them,like to see a subway under ....
highway to eliminate that danger.There has been a lot of oppositiontalk to this side for that safety
reason, and a subway might be theanswer to the whole thing.”

It
the
Dr. Weir said the community
could well be proud of the new postoffice, which started operationsMonday. He recalled how once
mail was delivered from Ingersollby horse. He said the post office
just vacated was a poor advertisement for both the village and for
the postal department.
“Now we have a beautiful build
ing here”, he said. "One of whichwe should all be proud." He paidtribute to the work in the Thamesford post office in the days goneby of Mrs. Bella Day, Miss Tens
McMurray and Miss Carrie Philpott. Dr. Weir lauded the present-
day work of Postmaster Patterson,and his assistants, Misses Reava
and Mary Patterson, and said it
was to the government, .Mr. ClarkeMurray, the postal authorities andMr. Patterson, the communityoweS thanks for the new building.He said it was Jack M. Setwart,
former district inspector at London, who helped the building pro
ject through-
“This building is a credit to
Thamesford and to the people whobuilt it," agreed Mr. Stewart “Itwill serve your needs adequately
and well.” Howard Clark, community clerk, said he hoped Thamesford
would continue to grow and needan even larger post office, but
“Ulis new office is a wonderful stepforward.”
Noting that where he stood was
in North Oxford, but his officeacross the highway was in East
Nissouri, Dr. Weir said it had beenhoped to have Reeve Grant Sutherland, of East Nissouri, and Reeve
H. P. Dunn, of North Oxford, present, but neither was able to make
it Mr. McFarlan, stressing what avast improvement this post office
was, said U. S. tourists used todrive by the old one, catch a
glimpse of it, slap on their brakes,back up and get pictures of the
dinky little structure.“It wasn’t good publicity for
us.” he said. ’Dr. Weir recalled how Charlie
Garner used to draw the mail fromthe station by old horse and buggy,but then decided to try one of
of them new-fangled cars. He tried
it just for a while, finally stickingit in the garage and going back tothe old buggy.
Dr. Weir introduced Mr. Murray
as a man who had a great deal todo with getting Ottawa’s okay onthe project "This fine building will
enhance the beauty of your village
and render you grand service,”said Mr. Murray. He paid tributeto the postal services generally,
and to Mr. Patterson and his staffin particular. He lauded the work
of the rural carriers.Walter Hutchison, builder and
owner of the $7500 neat little building, said: "I’m glad to see you all
here. I hope you like the building.”“I haven’t the gift of gab of
these other fellows,” said (Mr. Patterson, beaming with pride through
out the whole ceremony, “but thisis the fulfillment of a dream of
ten years I-hope you people willenjoy this building and we will tryto give you the best of service.”
“Community Spirit”
Mr. Flaherty said: "I’m proud of
this building and feel that you mustbe. I have always felt that the post
office, particularly in a smallercommunity, is the heart of thecommunity and the centre of com
munity spirit. I hope it will serve
Thamesford aa sueb. I hereby declare this new post office open for
business and for inspection.”And with one snip, he cut theribbon across the doorway and
dozens of interested citizens pouredin.
The one-storey rug brick buildingis 22 by 42 feet in size, The interioris paneled in fir plywood on the walls
and ceilings. The post office has fourrooms and the public lobby has 50
private boxes. A full basement is installed with an oil burner furnacewith blower attachments.The first postmaster here was JoeMcCarty, who served for a time priorto 1864. In 1864 Nelson C. McCarty,was appointed postmaster. Born in
1837, he spent his lifetime in Thamesford, and was well-known as a pro
perty owner in the community. Heia still remembered by many of
Tnamesford’s older residents. Mr.McCarty, served 50 years as post
master and died in 1915 at the age of78.
The first post office was in a build
ing situated on the north west comerof Dundas and Allen streets. This
building jyaB sold sometime in 1866to Young and Kester. It was then
used as a grocery store. About thistime four rural routes were added tothe local mails and the post officemoved two doors west, to what isnow the William Holt barber shop.
In 1891, Mr. McCarty, purchasedthe Brock store, opposite the Bal
moral Hotel, which was used as agrocery store. The smaller building
attached then became the next postoffice. Mr. McCarty, retired in 1914.The late Daniel Quinn, was ap
pointed postmaster and served from1914 to 1937, a period of 23 years. He
was also a life-long resident andvery well known throughout the district.
In 1930 the post office was againmoved, to its present site. E. R. Pat
terson was appointed postmaster inFebruary, of 1937.
The new structure was built .byWalter Hutchison to Government spe
cifications. The Government now hasa 10-year lease on the new structure.

An RCAF photo received at TheTribune shows Don Williamson, of
Ingersoll, learning a few tips onwhat to do should he. as a flier, be
forced down in the bush. The picture, taken at the five-day RCAF
camp at Rat Lake, near Huntsville, has Don and Flight Cadet
Mike Wallace of Hamilton busilypreparing a mess of fish “befor-
sitting down to a tasty lunch in theopen.” The cutlines beneath it
suggest that “should RCAF fliersbe forced down in the bush a fishdiet may be their only means of
subsistence until they return to
civilization.’’

range of a .22 rifle, he wouldn’t haveeaten any more ducks. Tims andagain I have beard eporta men, bothanglers and hunters, berate thia greatshore bird, and condemn it as a vandal. I took * dim view of their rent
ing* but now I’m strictly against the■o-called crane.
It is generally accepted that theGreat Blue Heron is a trout kilter of
the first magnitude. Many anglershave cursed thia bird in September
as they watched it stand in the shallows at the headwater* of a stream,or on the gravel bar* at the lake, and
gobble one trout after another, anthey swam to spawn. I remember,one fall, Provincial Corporal Lloyd
McClure telling me that he stood ona bridge on highway 28 and counted13 small speckled trout disappear in
to the stomach of a busy Great BlueHeron.
That bring* up another point. Whatright have Canadian duck hunterB to
sit back and expect good dude shooting this fall? What have they doneto ensure that there will be sufficient
ducks on the wing? They rant androar and cuss everyone from Hon.
Harold Scott to the market hunter*of Mexico. In the meantime the snapping turtles, crows, pike, muskrats,
skunks, raccoons, and snakes, not tomention the foxes and hawks, are
whittling the duck population. Surelyduck hunters know that a mallard
There hundred* of rod and gunclub*, yes and the gun dub* as well,should get busy this month and re-<(*uw r>q; uo ita iu*|Mp pus n»-n-uoo pjoh ‘uofwndod mojs «tp aanp
ping turtle* and the crow*. They or-gantze rabbit drives in the fall, a
practice that is frowned upon bymoat hunter*, so let them justify their
existence as organized club* by re
ducing the predators and thus give
the dude* a fighting chnncc. There
isn’t a game bird in Canada that has
as many enemies a* the duck. They
are on the ground, in the air and un
der the water. It's do wonder the
duck population is dwindling.
A recession is a period in which
you tighten your belt. In a depression you have no belt to tighten. Andwhen you have no pants left to holdup, it’s a panic.

By Pete McGillen in
The Toronto Telegram
Under the Migratory Birds Art,
the Great Blue Heron, commonly;called the crane is protected. I am
convinced this bird i* a brigand anda robber, and not entitled to one iotaof protection or consideration. Perhaps the bird watchers and the orni
thologists will raise their eyebrowsat this statement, but I have dam
aging evidence to convict this scalawag. I was at a small inland lakea month ago, and was watching thewood duck swim among the stumpswith four ducklings trailing her in
a line. Beside a large partially submerged stump stood a Great BlueHeron, as motionless as the stump it
self. The duck swam by, so did thefirst duckling, but when the second
duckling came along, the heron, withlightning speed, speared the duckwith its pointed beak. The mother
duck turned and flew at the heron,almost upsetting it, but the heron
took off in its awkward way and flewlow across the marshy bay to a deadlog. Here it stopped in full view of
my glass and proceeded to eat theduckling. In the meantime the wood
duck cruised around her three littleones mizzling each with her bill tosee that they were safe. Dr. Alan
Secord, and Fred Richardson, bothprominent in the Toronto Anglers
and Hunters, were with me, and sawthe whole performance. We tookturns using a 20-power telescope to
watch this tragedy of the wild, andif that blue heron had been within
hatching 14 ducks in a turtle-infested
lake i8 lucky if she is able to bringtwo of them to maturity. I have seen
ducklings disappear before my eye*,and an investigation found it hadbeen taken by a big snapping turtle.
During June I sent seven huge snappers to the happy hunting ground*
with well-placed .22 bullets a* theylaid egg8 on sandy hills and shores.Last Saturday my son Frank and my
self downed seven crows and missedns many more. The crow populationis showing no signa of diminishing.
In fact I think most bird watcherswill agree the black pirates are in
creasing in number. The watcherson the flyways an which the crowsmigrate south will state emphatically
that last year produced the greatestmigration in years, and that didn’t
include the ones that wintered inCanada. Crows are egg-eaters, asare the muskrats and the raccoons
and the skunks. Isn't it time we stopped listening to those people whoscream that the crow and the Great
Blue Heron rate protection? I wonder if they know what they are talk
ing about? Certainly their opinionsare not shared by the people who
spend most of their time out of doorsand who are in intimate contact withwild things and who know how cruel
Nature can be.
turning to their homes, we realizehow Friendship and the Golden Rule
have helped to relieve weighty burdens.”

One hundred and twenty-one ap
pearances at the plate were made byMorrows and Ingersoll Cheese in amarathon 18 innings playoff game at
the school diamond on Wednesdaynight- Morrows finally won the tilt10 to 9, scoring twice in the lastframe to top a single by the Cheesecrew.
Keith Holder threw the whole wayfor the Chec-se boys, striking out 12
batters, walking six and allowing ninehits. Wflf and Fred Vale shared thepitching duties for Morrows, Wilf
fanning 14, walking eight, and Fredstriking out one, walking none.Holder was also top batter for his
team, hitting a double and two singles in six tries. Crown, with 2 for 6
and Fred Vale with 1 for 2 were Morrows’ best hitters.
The Cheese started at a fine clip,drawing a 4 to 2 lead after fiveframes, in as tight a game as one
would wish to see. A homer by Payne,a double from Holder and a singlefrom* Arnott, all in the sixth, sent
the Cheese into what looked like acommanding 7 to 2 lead, but they fell
hopelessly apart in the last half ofthe innings, errors by Holder, Arnott,
Payne, Clement and Brady letting infive Morrows markers to tie thescore at seven each.
They took another run in the 7th,Clement getting a free base and scor
ing on Longfield’s bobble at shortstop. But Holder gave up a double to

TAKE A TIP
To avoid spoilage of canned to
matoes:1. Process all cannbd tomatoes and
tomato juice in a boiling waterbath. Water should be deep
enough to cover jars one inch.'2. Always wash tomatoes thoroughly in cold water before youscald them. A lump of soil maycontain bacteria which will con
taminate the whole batch in thepeeling process.
3. Never try to salvage the firmpart of a tomato that is par
tially blighted or spoiled. It ismore thrifty to waste one to
mato than to lose a whole batch.4. Never use powdered spices ifyou want a bright catsup or chili
sauce. The whole spices in measured quantities will prevent
brownness.5. A double thickness of cheese
cloth makes a good bag forstraining catsup or tomato juice.
6. Fresh dill should be thoroughlywashed before addition to cu
cumber. The flower head may bessubstituted for tender stalksand leaves if two heads insteadof 6" stalk is used.7. About 4 strips of red hot pepperor 1 tbsp, horseradish makes adifference to a bottle of dill
pickles.THE SUGGESION BOX
Mrs. C. H. says:(1) A quick way to removecorn husks is to place the ear oncutting board and slice off about 1-2inch of stem end and also tasselend. Husks and silk will then strip
off easily.(2) To cut corn from cob
readily, drive a nail through asmall board and place board on
wax paper. Stick stem end of cobon protruding point of nail. Hold
knife at 45 degree angle and cutstraight down the cob.

Mrs. J, L. says:
To preserve the colour of peach
es and pears, drjp them immediately into bi*ine as soon as peeled.
Use 1 tbsp, salt to 1 gallon of coldwater. Change the water after
peeling 2 dozen if you are canninga quantity.
Mrs. P. N. says:(1) To prepare green rind from
watermelon peel very thin and alsotrim off all the red flesh before the
honey coloured part is soaked inbrine for the watermelon pickle.
(2) Use 2 tbsps. alum for agood sized melon when rind is being
cooked to keep it firm.

some kind of communal recreations”.
Besides taking part in home'andcommunity recreation, parents needto show an interest in the commercialactivities which cater to their children's appetite for amusement. Child
ren need to be shown how to discriminate, how to avoid mental indiges
tion through a surfeit of any one kindof fare, and how to arrive at their
own standards of selection.
It is interesting to watch the evolu
tion of children's tastes, and it i8 notwise to become alarmed when they
seem to go overboard about this orthat program. We can listen withthem to the radio they enjoy, go with
them to movies they fancy, and theninvite them to join with us in our
listening and seeing. In families,taste is contagious.
It is the privilege of parents tolisten to the problems which crowd
children’s minds- What they see onthe screen and hear on the radio and
both hear and see on television confuses them. We need to interpret
conflicting standards of behaviour.The task laid upon the parents is
hot easy. From marriage through allthe experiences of raising a family
there are thousands of decisions tobe arrived at, things to be done, and
choices to be made. Every one of themis pregnant with meaning for Can
ada's next half century. It is no exaggeration to say that what Canada is
in the year 2000 depends upon themothers of today and tomorrow.
. That responsibility demands maturity of outlook. What does "maturity”mean? A person cannot be mature ifhe is dependent upon others, or if,contrariwise, he is puffed up withpride in his independence. None ofus can get along without others, with
out affection, without being lookedafter in situations where we cannotlook after ourselves. But that must
not lure us intc 'neighbors, thestate.

Detroit— Time trials for the
Harmsworth races will start Fridayover a five-mile (nautical) course
on the Detroit River. The raceswill take place Sept 1 (Friday),
and Sept 2 in a regatta continuing over to Labor Day, when the
Silver Cup and other races will be
held.Fifteen boats have been nominated to contest for places on thethree-boat U. S. team that will de-
Only five of the 15 are
Stan Sayres’ Slo-mo-shun, ______Dodge’s My Sweetie, Jack Scha
fer’s two Such Crusts and the Dossin brothers’ new but untested Miss
Pepsi. Even Guy Lombardo’s Tern,po VI, winner at Red Bank, and
finisher in the Memorial regatta, islightly regarded.
A committee of 11 will watch thefour-day trials,
from Monday.
Qualifiers for
average 85 mileslaps. Only the
Body undercoating-a year round protection for your
automobile investment
will get consideration. Then the
committee can order special runsand hold additional inspections.
Trials will be from 6 a.m. to10 a.m. each day.
The trials will determine notonly the speed but the all-around
ability of the driver-boat combinations. *
The committee will meet Thursday night at the Detroit Yacht
Club to schedule the running ofeach trial to decide the final de
tails. The rules do not require thatthe U.S. team be selected imme
diately after the trials. The committee will have until tyro hoursbefore race time, (5:05 p.m.), tomake its final choice.
Everyone is conceding that,barring accident, Slo-mo-shun and
My Sweetie will be two of the U. S.boats. They’re guessing about theothers, wondering whether theSuch Crusts' faults have been corrected and if Miss Pepsi will fulfillher promises. They are “writingoff” such nominations as Delphine,Lotus, Miss Great Lakes, Astraea,My Darling, Gale, Dec-Javy V,

Task Laid Upon Parents
Asserted Not An Easy One
There are certain organizations! spare time, and was never alone ex-
which seem to be the logical centres cept in bed. It was assumed thatfor starting or improving community: when he was not working, eating or
recreation programs: Home and1 sleeping he would be taking part inSchool Associations, Citizen's Asso-------’-'-J -------------’ ---------ciations, Community Clubs, and so on.If there are no such organizations, orif they do not function, then a voluntary society of wide-awake citizenscan fill the gap.
The way to go about it is to survey the recreational and cultural faci
lities your neighborhood offers itspeople. Are they adequate? Are there
activities for the teen-agers, the preschool group, the young marriedcouples, and for parents? Is there aplaying space with provision for tennis, badminton, bowling, archery, andsuch games as softball and hockey?Is there an indoor recreation place,
not closed to ordinary amateur groupsby red tape or expense, giving every
one a fair chance to play? Have youa library?
, One of the oldest settled communities on the St. Lawrence still hasn’t
a library, but it will have one by theend of this year. Citizens found abuilding that could be bought for afew dollars, obtained permission tomove it to a corner of a park, and arefixing it up into a presentable place.Boy Scouts and Girl Guides are col
lecting books in a house-to-house
rouna-up, to form the nucleus of acollection. This is something that canbe done anywhere, and it is an effort
not to be desnised.
When citizens keep their fingers inthe recreation pie they are acting
wisely. It does not do to give oversuch an important activity wholly to
experts Recreation together is oneway of helping keep the family together. It is a creative experience not
only in regard to muscle and mind,but of sympathy and heart., T“o danger of parents’ abdication
is vividly portrayed by George Orwell m his unhappy forecast of what
regimentation might bring by theyear 1984. Here is his picture: “Thiswas the second time in three weekshe had missed an evening at theCommunity Centre: a rash act. In
principle a garty member had no
