Pay Parking, No Parking, Is Latest News Ingersoll's parking meters will be operating within a very fewdays, Councillor Norm Pembleton said yesterday. All this week menhave been drilling holes and erect­ ing the standards and CouncillorPembleton says that he expects the heads will be on most of the metersby tonight, (Thursday;). The police committee chairman also revealed that parking restrict­ions have been placed on CharlesSt. West, and will probably be placed on several other streets in Ingersoll. On the north side ofCharles W., from the armouries down to the swinging bridge, hesaid, men have erected ’no parking’signs. The situation has been broughtabout, be explained, by too many cars parking on the street, and is duplicated on several other streets."There have been several acci­dents**, he said, "and a lot of near accidents.

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.

S. - *2-50 Authorized as second class mail, Pott Office Department, Ottawa. In Canada THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1950 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. The Colts baseball team recorded 1two wins last week, over Woodstock 1Nationals and Mossley. The Na- > tionals lost 17-15, with Williams and iBarron for the locals and Farna- < worth for the visitors in good form, iEd. Gibson was umpire. Advance 1 notice ora Monday was that they Ihad not been beaten in ten years. However, the game proved a verit­able slaughter of the innocents, as he Colts won 43-6, (estimated).Mossley protested manager Gibson's choice of Burnet to pitch and swit­ched to Barron, who gave but 6 hits. For the Colts it was a field dayas they hit everything thrown at them for a total of 35 hits. Ed. Gib­son, umpire. Mr. E. B. Hegler has been appoin­ ted private secretary to the YukonCommissioner.

Miss Helen Smith and Miss Bea-Irvine, Shower’s Corners, week-end visitors at Port 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.

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.

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. , They state—and very truly—“that economic Pat On Back For Weeklies ,newspapers were given a pat on the backby the Windsor Star, one of Ontario’s best and most PrX e8ftV0 in ^e following editorial:Weekly editors are both representative and creative of public opinion in the towns, villages andcountryside of those two mupr provinces.

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- poMible to have one without the other."Down through the years there has been a con­sistent improvement in the quality of weekly news­ 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. "But mainly it has been because of the develop­ment of a fine type of editors, progressive and mod-. em; men determined to give to their communitiesthe beat possible service, and fitted to do so.**j .Aylmer Exprw Members of the I.O.O.F. atten­ded the service on Sunday after­ noon, when the lodge held “annual decoration service Ingersoll Rural Cemetery. ___parade formed up at the lodgerooms, headed by the Ingersoll Pipe Band, undpr the direction of PipeMajor Thomas Johnston, and pro­ ceeded to the cemetery, where theservice was conducted by Mr. 0.

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.

BAG 2 FKGS" 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 ally, a few business schools, whichuse out-of-date letter models for dic- tution purposes, ought to realise the«,n8W P1*? young people may thinkthis is the language of commerce, and •rraaraiav vw »h Baseball is North American .. . one of the many common interests that make Canadians and Americans "neighbours" jn the happiest sense of the term.

CORRESPONDENT■__________________________________________________i____________________________________________________________________Thamesford, Ontario, Thursday, August 24, 1950 TelephoneIngersoll IS 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.” mentioned it "wasof a 10-y ear-old 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.

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.

Mrs. James Tatteraall presided forthe devotional period and after the singing of a hymn, Mrs. W. J. Row­land led in prayer. Jenny McKay gave a reading on "Prayer”, she said"prayer must be a habit to succeed”.The Holy Scriptures say: The prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”Following the hymn “It’s Just Like Jesus To Take My Sins Away”, Mrs.H.

Pete Declares War On Duck’s Enemies 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.” Ingersoll Cemetery MEMORIAL WORKS FRED E.

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.

Hold knife at 45 degree angle and cutstraight down the cob. Pictured at the opening of General Motors Dieselplant, London, Ont., left to right: E. V.

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.

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.

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
