Sharp-Eyed Perc. Desmond
Helps Bag Motor Suspect
Caps of Ingersoll’* police are off
this week to Percy Desmond, of Whiling St. Mr. Desmond’s sharp workled to arrest in Ingersoll of a car
theft suspect almost before the ownerhad known his car was stolen.
Mr. Desmond started things off byreporting that a strange car had beenleft all aight on the street near his
home. Constable Dennis Alsop investigated and reported to London,
only to learn that no car had beenreported stolen. Then Mr. Desmondcalled again to say that a man wasgetting in to the mystery car, andjust about that time Toronto radioed
that this new Pontiac was indeed astolen car—stolen from Toronto.Constable Alsop hurried up again,
only to find that the car had vanished.He checked neighborhood homes for
Toronto visitors, .finally finding oneto which a Toronto son had returned
after two years.The son, 19, was taken down to Mr.Desmond's, who identified him as the
man he had seen climbing into thestolen automobile. Police took the
boy, who denied he had stolen the car,into custody, then began a search forthe automobile. Again Mr. Desmondgets the glory because he re-discovered the car down near the armouries.In the meantime, a Toronto detectiverushed to Ingersoll to investigate and
to take both youth and car back with
Constable Alsop said the suspectactually could have gotten away, ashe was inadvertently warned
by Mr. Desmond that the car was being checked up on. “When Mr. Des
mond saw this chap getting into thecar,” chuckled the constable, "he wentup and said he hoped he hadn’t cau
sed him any inconvenience, but he(Desmond) had reported the car, and
if (the suspect) happened to be stopped by the police on the highway, hewould know what it was all about.”

Tanned, Happy
Pete is Back
After several -months in his nativeGreece, Pete Tatoulis, of Diana's ishome again, locking fit and happy
and able to report that his agedmother and father are well. Pete hasa suntan the envy of all.He said things are pretty good inGreece, with gold coins being the medium of exchange in commercial circles. While the drachma was once
five to the dollar, it i8 now 15,000 toa dollar, he reported, and a 1000-drachma note just nicely buys a cupof coffee now.Mr. Tatoulis said one of the mostinteresting episodes in connectionwith his tnp was a climb up an
8.000-foot mountain. It took two daysto make the hike, he related, and helost 10 pounds, "but it was worth it”.
The genial restaurant operatorsaid he was happy to be back in Ing
ersoll, but he wouldn't have missedthe trip for the world.
Joe Grabs for Record Fish
Falls 22 ft. to Creek Below
Joe Morello figures he’g a prettylucky man, even if he didn't bag the
fish he was after.Joe was fishing for pike from a
bridge not too far away last weekend, when he hooked what he describ
ed as a monster. It wasn’t “oldSambo” which he swears weighs at
least 20 pounds, but it was a prettyclose cousin.But anyway, Joe was nlavincr this
fish from a nrettv mwsrwiu
at the end of the bridge and justabout had it in hand when a truck
came along. “I turned around to seewhat was coming," related Joe, "whenI caught my foot, in some way, and
down I went."I fell about 22 feet to the water,
landing on my back,” he continued."I wasn't hurt, though my back isstill smarting. When I hit the water,which was only a couple of feet deep,I was laughing. The fish must have
been, too, because he got away."Joe says that despite his accident
he and his friends got two pikr eachweighing nearly 10 pounds—not bad
fishing. f

umpire games there again. McMillanclaimed that his decisions had twice
overruled by Smith, a procedureMat withdrew most of his authority

Attempt on Record
To End Harold’s '
Speedboat Career
An attempt on the world’s speedboat record toward the end of this
month at Picton will end the speedboating career of Harold Wilson.He made this announcement just
prior to the Harmsworth races at Detroit when Miss Canada IV was dam
aged and beaten in the first heat andhad to be withdrawn before the second heat. When Harold retires, af-
tei 22 years in speedboating, MissCanada IV (the hull) will be up forsale.in a statement the Ingersoll native said. "I have reached a stage
where my business responsibilitiesare demanding more and more of mytime, and because of this as well asother, more personal reasons, I havedecided that this season will be my
last as a racer."I have done my best for Canadathrough the years, although my best
has not always been good enough.My only hope is that another Can
adian will step into the picture andcarry on in this wonderful game that
boasts some of the finest sportsmenin the world.”In the first heat of the Harms-
worth. off to a bad start. Miss CanadaIV. with Walt Harvey as riding
mechanic, broke her steering mechanism and Harold finished the heatholding the steering post with onehand and the wheel with the other.He might just as well have been
waving a rubber post around, he said,and as a result Miss Canada could
not be opened uB and finished theheat in the wake and the froth of thethree U.S. boats.

Hear Voice.
They Drop In
It’s getting now to be quite a regular thing for people to drop in on
Ingersoll’s radio announcer, CandaceCarrol), saying they had heard her
voice on the air and were sure theyrecognized her.But Saturday it was distinguished
visitors who dropped in to hear thebroadcast. It wa« Mr. Stanley Young,
president of Christie Biscuits, andMrs. Young, Motoring through, the
Youngs had stopped in London overnight and whilst passing 'Ingersolltuned in a voice they thought they
recognized on the car radio.Sure enough, it was Candace, whose
father Mr. Young has known fnrmany years, and it didn't take Mr.
Young long to find where she wasbroadcasting from, either. He and his*wife arrived in time to hear most of
the broadcast, in which Mr. Youngexpressed himself verv interestedand later entertained Candace, Mr.John Carroll and Alan Havard tolunch.

raise their fees for officials to threedollars behind the plate, and two on
the bases. Only two umpires a gamewill be used.
Coupled with two protests j.theyheard, the meeting ran quite heatedly
at times. Morrows’ manager, JackLandon, asked if it were not right
that committee members should stayneutral at the games.
“I know two that didn't when weplayed Centreville”, interjected Cus
sons. “One said that we paid FreddyVale and the other was shaking
hands with Centreville when thegame was over. I can name them!”
"Who are they?” asked an executive member.
“They’re here, and keeping prettyquiet”, said fthe aroused Morrows’
catcher.•‘He means me about Vale,” said
Bill Davies.“Whatever w’e do—whether we pay
Vale or not—is our own affair,” saidJack Landon.
"I wns the one who shook hands,”added Lloyd Brown, “but it was be
cause they jumped all aver me. Ididn't go out of my way to shake
hands with them.”"You boys”, said Gord McEwan,“may have been the victims of theworst decision there has ever beenover there, but we must back up ourofficials.”There were several more
about one thing or another, all ofthem finally being quieted by Rev.
C. D. Daniel. Present at the meetingwere Andy McKenzie, ‘Gump’ Thorn

Smells from bakery stables, sewerageand storm systems for Bond St., andwater mains up Evelyn St. to North
Town Line, were the main subjects ofdiscussion at a quiet meeting of towncouncil Tuesday night.
Mrs. Clarence D. Campbell, CharlesSt, urged council to take some actionin connection with alleged odors coming
from Mr. B. Zurbrigg*s stables nearher home, and Mayor Dr. J. G. Murraysaid they would speak to him.“We've put up with it a long time,”said Mrs. Campbell.
Councillor Tom Morrison quoted aletter from DrsO. C. Powers, M.O.H. forOxford, sayinA“manure is not a health
hazard,” that procedure for its disposalbeing carried out by Mr. Zurbrigg
“complies with the Public Health Act,”and “odor from manure is not a publichealth problem.”
In another letter, also read by Coun
cillor Morrison, Mr. Zurbrigg explainedhe was doing everything possible to“clean up the situation to everyone’ssatisfaction." He wax'trying to speedup its disposal, he said, and also improve the ventilation to speed the odors
away.Mrs. Campbell said she didn't thinkthey were 75 feet away from the barn,and she quoted other women as describing the odors as “sickening—terrible-pretty rotten."“There should be a law compelling
such a place to be removed,” insistedMrs. Campbell. “These aren’t the horse
•■nd buggy days."Councillor Eidt suggested Mr. Zurbrigg was trying to do his best to eliminate the nuisance. “None of you gentle-
men would put up with it,” suggestedMrs. Campbell."I can’t agree with you,” chuckledMayor Murray. *Tve had to put upwith it nearly every day of my life."Councillor Pembleton said he hrul
been speaking to Mr. Zurbrigg about it,"and he seems most sincere in his desireto clear the situation up.”
■'Well speak to him," promised themayor."
“There's a law against pigs," said
Mrs. Campbel], "and pigs are noworse than this.”“I quite agree, said the mayor.
"If nothing can be done, we'll haveto move, that’s all,” said Mrs. Campbell.Noting a petition from Bond St. resi
dents for "sewerage,” Councillor Morrison said it should be checked whetherthat “sewerage" meant sanitary sewage
system, or a storm system. While costshad been investigated for a sanitarysystem, someone had suggested to himthat it was a storm system, rather, thatwas desired. After the mayor said hewould investigate, Mac Robins, one of
the petitioners, said both systems wouldbe most desirable.“I had 14 inches of water in my
basement," he said, "and it took sixweeks' pumping to clear my basement.We need both systems, what with allthe cesspools, and septic tanks and the
general stench from tune to time. It'snot very nice.”Mayor Murray said he'd go up and
investigate.
George Hutchison wanted to knowwhen the water main was going to be
extended up Evelyn St. to North TownLine. He said that was oart of theagreement when he sold the Wartime
Housing land to the town.
Warwick Marshall, solicitor, recalled
that it had been promised “when
needed."
"It’s so hard to get water in this
town," said Mr. Hutchison.
“We’ll take it up at the next FUC
meeting,” promised Dr. Murray.

new hospital. An account of thesale of the Historical Record Bookswas given by Mrs. Robt Hutt. Only
a small proportion remains unsold. Avery full account of the cost of the
furnishings in the new hospital wasgiven by the president. Mrs. T. N.
Dunn asked Mrs. Dewan and membersof the furnishing committee to acceptthanks of all members for the important work they had undertaken.Mrs. Dunn felt they must feel re
warded by the many complimentaryremarks on the beautifully furnished

Enough Money is Spent on Education
Without School Books Being So Costly
The kids are back at school now, and once
again there has been the usual flurry of activity
in stocking up on school books. Some have books
handed down from older brothers and sisters,
some have got them from friends, some from
students who have advanced to the next grade,
But the majority of books,- this year as always,
are new ones.
This applies, of course, only to collegiate stu
dents. All public school books are now supplied
by the board. The books are expensive, though
not as expensive as novels of comparable quality
workmanship. Nevertheless they are expensive.
Take the example of a grade IX student who buys
his complete set of books
He must have a total of twelve books to go to
school with. They range in price from 30 cents to
$1.40. and the sum total adds up to around $11.
Grade XA pupils need twelve books. Grade XB
are listed for thirteen. In grade XIA the students
need eleven and in grade XIC thirteen. Twelve is
the number for grade XII and ten for XIIC. Then
in grade XIII the number jumps to a high of
fifteen.
In itself, maybe, a sum of ten dollars—even less
in many cases—does not seem much to pay. To a
lot of people, though it is. The argument is raised
that opportunties for students to work through
the summer are plentiful, and the wages good.
This is true. Many school pupils do work in the
summer, they do earn good money, they can afford
to buy their books.
But add to that the price of clothing, sports
equipment, pocket money, pens and pencils, and
all the other small sundries essential to school life.
It soon begins to add to a tidy sum. Then add on
the taxes set aside by local, provincial and domin
ion governments for education.
Ten dollars by itself is not much, but taken
with the rest it can very easily be the proverbial
straw that broke the camel’s back.
With all the money expended on education it
does seem that school books could be subsidized,
or at least provided at cost. After all, education
is as much—is not more—the responsibility of
the country as it is of the individual.

Why Must All That Grows ” -Ji-
Deposit Pollen in My Nose? - ’ *■ -
Some years ago a sympathetic friend sent us a
piece of verse, which after extolling the beautjes
of nature, concluded with. *'Oh, why in hell must
all that grows, deposit pollen in my nose?” It is
September, and those words which for ten months
of the year seem humorous, have become bitterly
appropriate for millions of us suffering from hay
fever.
Oh, we know we're rather funny. There’s
something about a sneeze . . . And we do try to
smile, when for the umpteenth time, some wit
remarks “That’s not a hangover, I hope”, as we
struggle down to work in the morning after
an almost sleepless night. But please, can't some
thing be done about the ragweed in Ingersoll; we
are great believers in the idea that charity begins
at home, and even if, as some tell us, the pollen
jwhich bothers here, may come from as far away
as Texas, let us think of the people who might
get our crop. If you are not sure you recognize
it, just go to any vacant lot in town and the
weed which grows the biggest and the most
abundantly, is it.
Let’s cut the weeds. Maybe it won’t cure us—
but it will make it easier for us to "grin and bear
it”, and who knows, perhaps Ingersoll could start
a campaign that would spread and spread until , .
we're going to shapen our scythe!
They Did Not Die in Vain
We Learned To Work For Peace
Sunday, September 3rd, slipped by quietly and
almost unnoticed. People are quick to forget, all
too apt to lose the significance of a date.
It was on that date, and that day, lj years ago,
that the lute Neville Chamberlain regretfullly
spoke the words that plunged Britain, Canada,
and the whole Commonwealth into the second
world war. It was two days after the advancing
German armies had crashed the frontier of Po
land in what they expected to be another ‘peace
ful’ occupation movement
Now <we are starting into the second decade
since September 3rd, 1939, (how far distant that
seems\now), and already nations are thinking in
terms of a third conflict Have we really gone
ahead? 'Have we profited by the sacrifices of hun
dreds of thousands of Allied fighters who gave
their lives for our way of living? Have we yet
learned the bitter lesson that the only fruits of
war are sorrow, hardship and pain? Have the
freedom-loving countries of our world taken up
the challenge thrown down by our dead country
men—to work for, to ensure a lasting peace?
Only time will give us the full answers to
these questions, yet part of it Is with us now.
Yes, we have gone ahead—not, perhaps, as
much as we should—but we have progressed.
Medicine, science, national economies, all have
advanced in these last eleven years. Probably as
long as there is life on this earth men will step
forward, peering into the secrets of the future.
We have medical knowledge now that we never
believe to exist then. Science has unlocked untold
wonders: it has led us, in fact, to the threshold of
a new age with research into atomic power. * In
Britain, America, and this country, our leaders
are awakening to the fact that they must* make
adequate provision for old age and sickness.
Have we profited by the war-torn deaths of
no many fine men who died in our cause? That Is
linked, perhaps, to the other two questions. Have
we learned our lesson? Are we willing to work
for peace? Yes. we have profited. The very fact
that we emerged victorious from the war, free
to resume our way of life, was the profit they
would have asked. We have been free to unveil
the secrets of the future. Yes, we have pro
fited.
But have we learned? Are we willing to work
for the peace they gave us? Truly^—wv have not
learned, many of us. That is why the United
States is today plunged into conflict Fighting a
situation that should never have been allowed to
grow. We set up thj> United Nations, but gave
them no backing. And it is a sad fact that the
only answer to force is force.
But most important of all, we are prepared to
work for peace. Men are still willing to lay down
their lives for it Countries are still willing to take
up cudgels in its defence.
Yes, we are prepared to work for peace. And
that alone, is something we did not have on
September 3rd, 1939. It is,, this paper firmly be

Rail Strike Gives Boost
To Travelling By Air
We were at Malton airport one day last week
before the rail strike had ended, and the lobby
of the terminal was jammed with people coming
and going—by air.
It occurred to us that the strike had undoubt
edly done Canada's airlines a big favor. Flying
is still taboo as far as a great number of people
are concerned; they’d rather stay flat on their
feet, in the same spot, than fly. The airlines defin
itely have still a big selling job to do.
But the rail workers, with their strike, have
given air travel a big boost along the road.
With no trains, many people HAD to go by air.
And they liked it. They couldn’t help it, because
the speed and comfort of travel by air leaves
nothing to be desired.
Rail travel's loss is bound to be travel’s
gain.
A Job Well Done, IndeedAll The Way You Look At It
We were among the millions sitting on their
radios the other evening as Frank Hall and A. R.
Mosher, two of the country’s labor leaders, told the
124,000-odd rail workera they represent to go back
to work.
It was a relief to realize the strike was T>ver, but
the most impressive feature of the broadcast so far
as we were concerned was the realization of the
tremendous power over Canada’s life in the hands
of these two men. They told 124,000-odd men and
women to strike, tying this country up in knots,
and the 124,000-odd struck. They told them to return
to work, and they did.
The power is impressive, but dangerous. The fol
lowing in the Oakville Trafalgar Journal is of in
terest :
“Unions have improved the lot of the working
man through the years. By solidarity many improve
ments in working conditions and rates of pay have
been achieved, and in many cases the unions have
corrected evils which needed correcting. But of re
cent years, unions have attempted to take more
power into their hands than was ever meant to be
in the hands of any one group in a democratic world.
In the desire to justify their collection of dues from
members, union., have led their membership into
disastrous fights with their sources of livelihood.
Such action can only be carried so far. Spiralling
costs result and eventually mankind as a unit suf
fers from poorer living conditions, curtailed buy
ing power—and a depression results, which takes a
more serious toll of labor than of anyone else.”
Such possibilities apparently do not enter Mr.
Mosher’s thinking. As he ordered his members back
to work, he said: “We feel distinct gains have been
made, and that all should return to their respective
duties with high spirits AND THE CONSCIOUS
NESS OF A JOB WELL DONE.”
If you consider tying all Canada in knots; throw
ing thousands of people temporarily out of jobs;
slowing production in many plants, even shutting
down some; bringing food and milk crisis to many
communities; causing thousands of dollars loss in
fruit and vegetable crops; in short, causing mil
lions of dollars in time, wages and production: if
you consider ail that A JOB WELL DONE, then
Mr. Mosher and his members can indeed sit back
in the proud realization of what indeed was A JOB
WELL DONEjs
Notes on the Editor's Pad
Louie Macnab feels that he does indeed let some
of his cars and trucks go at give-away prices, but
the price we set on one of his trucks for him last
week must have shaken even his philanthopic nat
ure. We offered a truck on his behalf for precisely
$11.95!
And talking about motor vehicles—a friend of
ours planned to make a mtoor trip but the only dif
ficulty was that he hadn't got a motor. However,
he borrowed one and loaded it to the roof for an
early start next morning. And guess what—that
night he was notified he had just won a brand new
car! Imagine having to unload and repack all that
stuff. .
* W hat Others Say :
He Wouldn't Believe It
If grandfather could come back to his old farmin the United States, and some parts of Canada, too,
what a change he would find!But it wouldn’t be just new machines or the improved livestock or grain. He would soon get used
to these. He would appreciate, too, the comforts ofthe closed and fast-moving cars and the indoorplumbing.
But there is one thing he would never be ableto understand. That is the fantastic system of farm
marketing that has sprung up all over the UnitedStates and threatens to spread over into Canada.How, for instance, could we explain to our grand
father the potato story that appeared in the U.S.press the other day. It was about a grower whosold his crop to Uncle Sam for $1.97 a bag, boughtit back for 15 cents a bag, paid a nominal fine because he. planted these potatoes instead of feeding
them to livestock or destroying them, and next year
ho plans to have a still bigger crop and repeat theperformance.
Being a simple man, and used to running his ownfarm without orders from some distant bureaucrat,
grandfather would dismiss that story a« untrue.Unfortunately for the American taxpayer it isn’t.r (Financial Pott)

Writing Letter With Message
Takes a Lot of Thinking
lOMUZ
What does the business letter setout to do? Basically it may be defined a8 a message that attempts to in
fluence its reader to take some action or attitude desired by the writer.
The reader must first believe, andthen he must feel. If he believes and
feels strongly enough, then he willtake the desired action.To begin with, the writer mustthink: What am I trying to accomplish in this letter, and how can 1
best accomplish it?If a man writes or dictates under
an inspired surge of ideas and hisexpression is so closely identifiedwith his thought and feeling that he
cannot make it better by planningand preparation, then, obviously, he
should not try to do so. True inspiration needs no trimming or tinkering.
But in the majority of cases we arenot inspired; we have only an idea
to be"worked out, and planning isneeded.The writer should have a clear
mental picture of the letter he willwrite, including its length, the pro
position he wishes to make, and thegeneral phrasing of the central ideas.Be quite clear as to what you wantto say before you begin to write, forif the purpose of the letter is not clear
in your own mind, how can you expect to make it clear in your reader’smind?
In their book, Business Writing:Theory and Practice, Messrs. Park-
hurst and Davis list the basic purposes of the business letter: (1) to
insure accuracy; (2) to make tramactions binding; (3) to furnish com
plete records; (4) to provide theleast expensive communication; (5)to make contacts for the salesman;
(6) to promote goodwill; (7) to talkmore effectively; (8) to buy or sell
goods.If our letters are to be effective,
and accomplish all these objectives,then it is easily seen that hasty composition will not do.
The most important thing to thinkabout when you sit down to write aletter, not to yourself, but the reader.What are his interests? What are
his needs? What kind of a letterwould he like to get? There can be
no completely successful or effectiveletter unless the writer moves over
into the place of the reader, and considers his comfort and his convenience.
It is always a great temptation to
write about what we ourselves are’doing or hoping to do; it is humannature to tend to be self-centred. We
like to think that everyone is interested in our problems, our products,
our desires. But self interest must

your reader, then individualize him.Henry Hoke, publisher of The Re
porter of Direct Mail Advertising,spoke to the Advertising and SalesExecutives Club in Montreal this
spring on the subject of successfulletter writing. He mentioned four
things as being wrong with mostbusiness letters. These are (1) use
less words; (2) improper arrangement of words; (3) incorrect expression of thought; and (4) offensive
words. In this last category he emphasized the words “I”, “we”, “our”,“mine", "my", and “us”.
Giving the reader the centre of
the stage is a challenge, and it canbe fun, too. It calls for more than
just bringing out some old stockphrases. Everyone likes to think ofhimself as capable of observing and
understanding human nature. Everyone likes to be considered a man of
imagination, sympathy and preception, with an elastic mind and varied
viewpoint. Here is an opportunity togive all these desireable qualities
their full expression—right in the letters you send out every day.
In considering your audience, it isimportant never to underestimate
their intelligence. F.P.A., the well-known writer and columniat, says inan epigram: “The average reader is
considerably above the average.” Hisstock of information, which is quite
a different thing from intelligence,

be subordinated if a letter is to be
effective in selling goods, services orgoodwill. Forget about yourself and
concentrate on your reader. It i8 agood idea to make the two principalwords “you” and “yours”. “We”, of
course, cannot be dispensed with,
but “you" can be emphasized and cultivated.

Every day most business houses
receive letters from a wide cross-section of the country. Our day’s mail
can include letters from bankers, andbusiness men, housewives and club
women, teachers and pupils, citydwellers and people living on isolated
farms. To do justice to these variousreaders we cannot attempt to writeto each one in exactly the same way.Each has his own particular interests,his like3 and dislikes, and we need
to try to make each recipient feelthat the letter he received was for
hhn and him alone.For example, letters to city men
may be shorter than those to farmers,especially in the “between season”
periods. Letters to women can bemore deferential; they can appealmore to the emotions, and emphasize
the beauty, design or up-to-date styling of the product. Letters to men
can be more direct and factual, stressing economy and efficiency. Classify

The number of fish available for each
season is estimated. The authorities then
balance this against the expected number
of fishermen to establish catch limits.
This is done for your protection to
provide a continuing supply of game
fish for the future. To permit full growth,
minimum lengths are set for various
species of fish which may be taken.
Take Black Bass, for example. The
maximum catch allowed io Ontario is
six per day and the minimum legal length
is 10 inches. Only by observing regula

P. S. Board
Met. Tuesday
Enrollment at the Public Schoolswas down slightly, principal A. G.
Murray told the school board at theiriiH-eting on Tuesday night, over thefigure for September 1949. However,
Mr. Murray added, another 31 are onthe records as still having to regis
ter. so the total figure is likely to beWell over 900.
The actual figures quoted by thesupervising principal of Ingersoll's
Public Schools was 554 at VictoryMemorial Schoo) and 334 at PrincessEliralietA School, making a total offirst-dajFenruHment of 878. The kid
dies, he said, would be getting a day
off school to go to the Western Fairagain this year.
It was interesting to note, he said,that two pupils uegistored this year
were from Greece and could not speaka word of English.
It is expected that the enrollment
in the beginners’ class will be 96. Atpresent it is 89. Mr. Murray compli
mented the board and the janitors ofthe two schools on getting the build-ings into such fine shape for school
opening. Field Day, he added, wouldbe held at Victoria Park, Sept. 27.
The question of group piano lessons, taught by the schools musicsupervisor, Harold Riddolls, was raised and it was decided to authorize theteachers’ committee to discuss it with
Mr. Riddolls and make necessary arrangements if they decided to institute the classes.
On motion of Trustee W. L. Leaper,
it was agreed to rubber tile the halland stairs of Princess ElizabethSchool at a cost between $75 and$100.
We would be interested in know
ing how « certain journal which
professes to be the “INGERSOLL” Daily explains off the
special section it carried theother day urging everyone to
shop, not in Ingersoll, but inWOODSTOCK.
When the parking meters went

Hossack.
Early Saturday morning Mr Hossack.m pyjamas and bowling shoes, bagged
his fifth break-in suspect within thelast few years, and he did so with hisfirst deliberate shot—bringing his man
down, while running, at 100 feet, inthe dark, with a pistol shot in the leg.As a result of the early-morning
activities. John De Grace, 40, of London,at present in Alexandra Hospital, Ingersoll, with a broken leg, faces a chargeof breaking and entering Hossack’sgarage.Seven dollars in change was takenfrom the garage's cash register. Two
small radios, taken from stock, weredropped in the man's flight.The burglar alarm linking Hossack’s
garage and his housce across the highway sounded at 2:45 ajn. Pulling on histrousers over his pyjamas, Hossack
grabbed his automatic and startedacross the road to his garage.
“He didn't hear me because I hadon bowling shoes,” said the garageman.“When I opened the front door, I flashedmy light around but couldn’t see any
thing. I thought there might be someone behind the counter."
Caught in Light
Hearing a sound in the workshop
next to the office, Hossack crossed tothe door, and beamed his light at thefar wall. The flashlight caught a man,
with a radio under each arm. goingthrough the door to a second adjoining
workshop. . , ,“I grabbed for the light switches and
then followed him in,” said Hossack.“I saw that he was hiding behind the
wrecker at the front of the shop. Icalled to him to come out, He didnt
move or say a word so I fired a shotinto the ceiling. Still nothing happened
so I said again. 'Come on out, boy, andI won t hurt you.'“Suddenly, the big door at the front
of the garage went up and I saw thisfellow race out."Held His Fire
With his own and a neighbor's housein the line of fire, Hossack held his fireuntil the man had reached the far edgeof the pavement, about 100 feet away.
Calling on hifn to stop, the garagemanwhistled a warning shot over the fleeingman’s head.“He wouldn’t stop, so I got the flashlight on him and fired another shot,"Hossack said. “The man doubled upand fell on the ground. I moved up on
him and said, ’Are you hit* He said,‘In the leg'.”The garageman said he asked the
man whether he was alone. Told hewas alone, Hossack, nevertheless, touredthe garage and grounds with his gun
^Hossack’s family, roused by the shoot
ing called Dr. T. H. Weir to tend
the wounded man and then put in acall for provincial police. The captivewas removed to Ingersoll Hospital by
ambulance.Hossack said the man had told himhe had “walked into Thamesford.” Anabandoned 1939 model coupe was dis

Hossack. In 1942. warned by the alarmbuzzer, he trapped two youths in thegarage during the night. One got away,but Hossack captured the other at gunpoint in a field near the garage. Laterthe same year, he captured three menseconds after they had broken into his

Mexicans Think W e’re Angry
As We're Always in a Rush
Ted Nancekivcll was one of HThamesford people ^atten ded .
the recent international Y s Men s (Convention at Mexico City. Ted ]
told us not to use this trash » 1but we felt the letter so inter- .esting it should be printed so all (Tribune readers could enjoy nis (
1 Ted left London by air on a !
Monday morning and was in Mex- j
ico City that night. ,
Dear Tom: ;I fell asleep and awoke m a new fworld. My grey matter will not tregister all my eyes look at. When (visiting Mexico City be sure and take ,
your hearing aid. The altitude is jhigh and your ears are affected some- twhat for a few days. You can’t tleave the city unless you drive to t10,000 ft. altitude. We flew 16.000^tn 18,000 ft. all the way down from tCleveland and some of our passen- jgers on the flagship D-6 American tAirlines when looking down 3 to 4 ,miles below thought of all those dirty j
little tricks they had been'playing for j
some time. 1Telling you something about Mex- )ico and where to start and how to tellit is almost beyond me. Mexico is ,one of the oldest cities in the world, (and if you could see it you would need ,
no convincing. iThe people are small and some are ■
well dressed while others are the most |pitiful sight you could imagine. Dirty, (poorly clothed and bare-footed wo- jmen and children (not many of the ,male class) stand on the streets by ]the hundreds crying in their native ,tongue for a centavo or a peso. Some ,
are curled up on the streets sleep- ,jng soundly if you please. I cried, ('with tears in my eyes as big as pump- |kins feeling sorry for them, but if
one cries over things like that thenyou tour out into the rural area and ;
sey what filth and poverty really are. .But you become accustomed to these .
sort of sights. Parts of Mexico City ■are so ancient and falling down, while ;the big program of building is in ,progress in other parts.They have the most beautiful build- ■
ings. They are beyond your wildestdreams. In some respects we, in |
Canada, are stupid. I have neverKtn a building like the Mexican Lot
cry Government Bldg. It is built ontwo high water tanks and is about
• 20 storeys high in a horseshoe shape.Jn case of an earthquake the build
ing is liable to settle on one side orthe other or crack to pieces. Thetanks of water prevent this by fill
ing one tank and lowering the waterin the other. Smart piece of business
eh? Their new building program ison a tremendous scale of this type,
and someday Mexico City will putout cities to shame. However, they
have a long way to go. I thought wehad a lot of jackasses back home buton our tours throught the mountainsthere are thousands of them withwood, corn, hay and some of them
carrying their masters on their backstiavelling on the highways. You
wdjl-see the doby huts made of clay
and mud. Some have a tiled roofand others will have a thatched roof
of weeds and mud. To protect hishome there will be a stone or clay
wall around it. Remember no building out of the city will be more than
eight feet high. They have no waterfrom wells. They g<? to the creeks
to do their washing and to get drinking water. Instead of flour madefrom wheat they use corn, and they
eat cornmeal for breakfast, lunchand dinner if they have three meals
a day. A pig will be tied to a smallttee at the entrance of the hut, or a
cow will moo-oo at you from the door-wav. Something awful. So muchfor that. Our tours have taken usto places that were built at least inthe early 15th century. We crossed a.bridge today that was built in 1529.}We got over it alright. We visited
the oldest church in Mexico, startedin 1531. There are between 700 and
800 delegates at this convention andwe tour about in 25 or 30 buses all
in a row. It is a wonderful experience and beautiful spectacle to seethese buses filing through the narrow streets.We have visited already the Em
peror’s palace situated in the heart ofthe city overlooking every square mile
of it. What a palace. We havewitnessed a good bull fight. Boy, oh
Boy! What a sport. The ceremonythat accompanies a bull fight is won
derful to see. They kill more bullsin one meet than I could shoot in 10years. All one-ton bulls. One mat
ador was caught and put out of business. Never will I forget this sta
dium, 50,000 people in a bowl. Ifthe bull doesn’t get mad and fight,
the people get mad, the judge kickshim out and they bring in another.
We visited the town of Cuernavaca.We have pictures of this most color
ful town in the world to show youwhen we get back. I have so darn
much to tell you but no time, Tom.We go from 7 a.m. to ? o'clock at
night. The Mexicans are very courteous people and more so because theythink we are always. angry about
something and they try to make itup to us. The reason for this is
because we are always in a hurry.They use the slow motion method
about everything. Two hours to eatfor example.
I am about to have a little “siesta”and see some of the night life. The
El Patio is the most exclusive so heregoes to shoot the works. By theway, the Senoritas are gorgeouspieces of humanity.

Can We Learn, or Are We
Bound to Destroy Ourselves
fence. Do we learn or are we destined
to destroy everything our God-givenminds have made so possible? I
thought of that in that solemn Remembrance Chamber; it recurred.ag
ain as we were shown the halls whereour destiny is settled by, much be
mused and harassed men, and stillagain each time, in the days that fol
lowed, that I saw the ParliamentBuildings. What folly to build so
superbly, to destroy so wantonly.I don’t care much for guides, al
though I admit they have their uses.They point out things one might conceivably miss; they are bubbling overwith statistics end data, but theyalso tend to distract one. You glancehastily at the portraits of Canada’sgreats when you prefer to examine
them; you look as bidden, at handsome ceilings the values in terms of
18 and 20 carat gold; you obedientlydiscover this marble and that stone
and this and that intricate carving,following all the time like sheep a-
round the bell-wether. And you endwith the mind milling around a thou
sand facts when it would infinitelyprefer to be uplifted by beauty andgrandeur alone.
I thought I vrould return and gooft on my own to take my fill of what
most interested me. The next day 1went and prepared to wander down a
deserted and portrait-lined corridor,but a lynx-eyed guardian called after
me, “Madam, come back, Madam,You can’t go down there". And ma
dam returned as requested, a sadderand no wiser woman. You must goas one of the herd nr not nt nil it
seems. But one day, when I’ve cast
off this all too solid flesh, I’ll return.I’ll stand and gaze at fine portraits
as long as I wish; I’ll marvel at theintricate skill of unknown carvers;
I’ll wander into the then quiet sanctuary of the Remembrance Chamber;
I’ll examine more carefully thatbeautiful piece of white marble sta
tuary, given by the nurses of theworld to commemorate their servicesto suffering mankind; I’ll see again
the Chambers where our representatives talk and talk to some or no
purpose, and I’ll live a hundredyears or so in the old Library, with
its ornate woodwork, its old gas-mantles and its tens of thousands of vol
umes. With all the time in the worldand with no guide to exhort me to
stay put, I’ll really see our beautiful Parliament Buildings.

THAMESFORD MEN
HURT IN CRASH
I have seen Canada’s Houses of
Parliament and have been duly thril
led by the impressive sight. Pictures
have never done it justice; its magnificent facade must be seen as a whole
from below the terraces. Only so canone take in the eye-filling view. I
found it hard to believe it is all sonew, so, as yet, unfinished. It looks
old, noble and permanent, as does itsmany Gothic ancestors all over the
world. Surely it has no rival in majesty in the. Empire; surely no greatpile has a more wonderful setting.
Lawns, river and distant blue hills
combine to make the perfect back-
drop.
It is harmony and rythm in stone,

Mr T. B. Lee,Editor, Ingersoll Tribune '
Dear Sir:I note that a good deal of public

Mr. E. A. Wilson's effort to wrestthe honours from our American;
neighbours. I feel that you efforts1
are very justifiable but I wonder if
we are not overlooking somethingwhich I feel is greater than having
a world’s champion boat and that isbeing the sponsor of the Wilson
Memorial Swimming Pool.During the summer, I have had
an opportunity of visiting the pool
and watching scores-of children, notonly from Ingersoll, but from the
surrounding district, learn to swimAnd conquer their fear of the waterr.
I was impressed by the patient,kindly attitude adopted by the in
structors, “Buck” Billings and HamGosse and their different assist
ants. No efforts were spared by
these men in aiding timid and backward pupils fight their fear of water.
I could not help but feel that thissummer, boys and girls were being
made better men and women in thefact that they weite losing a natural
fear and that they were developinga healthy interest in a top-notch
sport.I know that my view is not that ofonly one person, but is shared byscores of parents throughout thisarea.Therefore, Mr. Lee, irregardlesswhether Mr. Wilson’s boat finishes
first or last during the race, it is tfceopinion of a good many parents that
he will always be a winner with hisswimming pool.
Yours sincerely,One of a group of
appreciative parents.

For extra milk production from your dairy herd, feed them a dairy ration
made with the New National 24% Milkbilder. It is rich in the all-
important proteins needed to stimulate top milk production—yet not
so high in protein as to be needlessly expensive. It is the ideal concen
trate to give you most for your money!
EXTRA TASTY—National 24% Milkbilder is bulky and
high in Molasses Jor that extra palatability. Cows will eat
more dairy ration made this new National way—and so
produce more milk.

each employee a full working part

companies in recent years, and isnow receiving the active support of
trades unions.Under this * plan, workers will

plan itself and the bonus paymentswill be under full control of the em
ployees’ production - managementcommittee.
This new plan is merely a businesslike and straightforward meth

Conservation is a frequently-used wordthese days in Ontario. Nor are weawakening to the seriousness of thesituation a minute too soon. Theincreasing evidence of soil erosion,floods and poor soil management is
appalling. As I travel the province, thesigns of increased pride in our homesthrills me but bare hillsides, deepgulleys and rich soil deposited in hollowsmodify my feelings of jubilation.
Even the urban dweller can do his part
,h^Ip.,the situation by maintainingsoil fertility and planting trees. Thereis no need to wait until next springto plant one, as most will do well whenplanted in September.

led off a four master for Morrowsand with one out Fred Vale, com
ing in at right field for Jack Hagar,walked. An error at short stop by
Ralph Connor, and an error bythird baseman, Jim Barker* and thegame was tied up.
Fred Vale came in at the moundthen, throwing superb ball to blankCentreville the rest of the way,striking out eight of the ten batters
to face him.With pitcher Bob Connor hang
ing on grimly, Centreville weathered a storm in the eighth safely. But
in the top of the tenth it looked toba all over. Two overthrows by
Ralph Connor, doubles by Arnottand Wilf Vale, and a single from
Fred Vale let three runs in and
Morrows led 8 to 5. With Fred Valealmost unstoppable it looked theirgame.
Jim Barker led off for Centreville
and fanned, then Hume was out,second to first- Dave Hagar was re
sponsible for the Centreville win.He had Gord Titus out easily at
first, but neglected the minor detailof leaving his foot on the base.
Then Leo Connor let a couple go
past and fastened on to a waisthighfast ball to boom it over centre
field and come in standing up, withTitus scoring ahead of him.
Centreville seemeu to pluck upcourage then, and Bill Barker slap
ped a single over first base. Merv.Connor obliged with another and
Max Furtney, (who finished the (tenth inning on the mound), opened ,up on an inside pitch to send itaway over centre field for a double. ,Barker came in safely to tie the
game and that was when everything (blew up. Connor had tagged up on (third and the throw to Morrows jcatcher Cussons got away from ,
him. Connor came storming in and jumpire Mahoney called him safe on
a close call. (Cussons and the Morrow team tobjected strongly, hemming Mahon- j
ey against the backstop, but the Jgame stood 9 to 8 for Centreville in
overtime. tThe two teams now both have one j
game to play, and both are slated
to meet Stones, who lead the run
down with one win and no losses.In the pitching Bob Connor struck
out three, and walked three, allowing seven hits. Furtney pitched one
third of the tenth inning, fanningnone, walking none, giving up one
hit Wilf Vale struck out three,walked three, for six hits. Fred Vale
fanned nine, walked none and gave
up five hits.For Centreville the hitting ofMax Furtney was best at 2 for 2.

Letter
To The Editor
The Editor, Ingersoll Tribune:
Your editorial entitled, “It wouldbe a good thing if tipping .were
forgotten,’’ I take it to be ajper-sonal insult. You may well sayj—if
the shoe fits, wear it, but I wouldlike now to point out the grave errorunderlying your whole argument
before your dangerous views become
general.You took up a great deal of spacedescribing the way in which non
tippers are treated. The poor souls!But you entirely miss the highly
important fact that tipping, in spite
of such men as you, has now becomea great social asset, as well as a
way of keeping peace between bodyand soul in an age which worship the
dollar and the self* I will explain.The act of tipping fulfills* two
basic needs in modern man; first, itgratifies his sense of self-import
ance. No one can deny the tremen
dous thrill derived from such an act;that feeling of satisfaction which
comes from doing a favor, andknowing, therefore, that one is a
superior being; second, an ostentatious tip is one of the best meansknown to raise one’s stature in the
eyes of friends. It is socially neces
sary nowadays, to appear rich and
generous in the eyes of the public.
At a time when the dollar means so
much to everyone, one is forced to
grasp at every chance to show thatthe dollar means nothing.
another modern paradox.The point of my argument, Mr.
Lee is this. The major benefits oftipping are now the property of the
tipper, and no longer the tippee.Being myself in a position to receive
tips, I can vouch for this. My .wagesare not low as you intimated, and I
do not need tips to get along. Theonly reason I consent to accepting atip is because I realize that the
practice is essential to the self-es
timation of the modern man. Forthe two reasons mentioned in my
third paragraph, I allow the odiouspractice to continue, even though I
am often embarassed by accepting atip from some one I know is makingmuch less than I.
In this day and age, the character
of a man is not complete unless hehas been typed as a “big tipper, freewith his money.’’ This is modernlife, Mr. Lee, and though you may
be, I was never one to laugh in theface of a new trend in civilization.
Your truly,
JAMES WILLIAMS.
Amateur weather prophets seemto believe that « heavy crop of
beech nuta indicates a severe winter will follow. That being so, the
winter of 1960-51 should be severebecause beech trees are bearing an
unusually heavy crop of nuts thisthis year.
Bumper crops of seed are usuallyborne by this tree every six or seven
years, but this year nature is notconfining her efforts to re-cover
cleared land with beech alone, because reports from Land and For
ests foresters in Huron District, indicate a bumper crop of seed onmaple, ash, basswood and white pine.
Next year, therefore, countlessnumbers of seedlings, particularly
maple, should be showing up alongroadsides, in pastures, cultivated
fields, woodlots and gardens. Manyof these seedlings especially in ex
posed locations will die, but in thewoodlots and along the edge of
woodlands thousands of these seedlings will survive because moisture
conditions and protection are favorable.
Every year many thousands ofdollars are spent by farmers in arti
ficially establishing woodlots whichwill provide timber for their suc
cessors on the land—timber whichwill play a part in contributing to
ward the material and spiritual welfare of the owner of the land.
The bountiful crop of seedlingwhich will follow this year’s heavy
seed crop is natural and inexpensive reforestation, but this crop is
doomed to vanish if it is not protected from grazing cattle. The Div
ision of Reforestation calls attention
to the fact under the AssessmentI Act provision is made for exemption> of forest 'land which is ungrazed,
. and exemption may be claimed for
! one-tenth of the total farm acreage| up to 20 acres for single ownership.

Prejudice and Intolerance
Bad for Public Relations
What really does make public rela-I public relations to seek out praise-tions difficult is prejudice and intol-1 worthy attributes, even (or perhapserance. These twins close the door to particularly) in persons we dislike,
truth and knnwlod™ nhnnt There is nothing negative in this: it is
not enough to refrain from makingunkind comments, we must try to
find something pleasant to say intheir place.Royal Bank Bulletin
truth and knowledge about people.
Prejudice may be a belief based onrepeated hearsay or tradition. Vol
taire called it “The reason of fools".Bigotry is blind and obstinate adher
ence to one's own opinions, with intolerance, toward those who have other
views. As a result we upconciouslyselect examples favorable to ourview, and simply fail to notice anything that tells against it.Civilization is lopsided in its devel
opment. We are more skillful withcur hands than in our thinking. Only
when we reach the place where wecan face facts without emotion can
we achieve perfect tolerance.As it is now, we are uncomfortablylike the African tribe which believesthat crocodiles devour only men whohave done evil. Thus two unpleasant
things happen to the victim. First,he is eaten up; second he is destroyed
morally, for the crocodile has eatenhim "because” he did or thought someevil. We, too, try to maintain the res
pectable appearance of life by layingit down a* a rule that people get whatthey deserve.Unconsciously, perhaps, we work it
out as Anatole France did the fate ofPyrot in Penguin Island: “Pyrot hasbeen convicted. If he has not beenconvicted because he is guilty, he isguilty because he haa been convicted;
it comes to the same thing.”
The Universality of men’s aversionfor one another is a shocking featureof today’s world, and it arises from
a simple mistake. We start, in ourthinking and in our idealistic mani
festos by public bodies, with the falseassumption that “people are essentially alike”. Then, when we find by ;
experience' that they are unlike, weconfuse the issues and denounce and
persecute each other because we are ,different. We should, instead, try to
find out in what way we are different,then proceed to learn why.Sometimes, of course, intoleranceshows itself as an inability to forgiveand forget some particular wrong.
The grudge-bearer cherishes his ill-will, fans the flame of memory, never
permits himself to forget.No one suggests that we should be
worms, cherishing the foot that stepson us, but little fountains of bitter
ness should not be allowed to poisonour relations with those with whomwe have to live.It is not easy to remove a prejudicequickly. A man has to try with the
idea that there is no fun in succeeding in toeing open-minded, and that
his life will be fuller and sweeter. All, the prejudices that beset mankind are
allergic to truth; the mark of an educated man is his willingness to expose
pet prejudices to it. Anyhow, the] other side of a subject always haspoints of interest.
No one has the right to expect toenjoy good public relation* unless he
can listen to both side* of an argu-| ment, tolerate things which are dis
tasteful to him personally, and takethe gentle, the favourable and the in
dulgent side of most question^Much of what has been said may
' appear far removed from the practice1 of public relations. Business men at-! tending a public relation* seminar ex-
1 pect to be told things they should do.■ But before the “doing” stage theremust be an “understanding” stage.; Public relations is the sum total ofthe effect we have on other people,' and that cannot be turned on and off
like a lawn sprinkler. Just as soon' as we try to build public relations by
calculated astuteness we score a corn-’ plete failure.
. Many a business man could improve. hi* public relations overnight by get-
s ting first hand contact with his public. and finding out what he has been
I overlooking. Those who are fishermen, will readily admit that it is not by; their own taste, but by the taste of
‘ the fish, that they determine the’ choice of the bait.
Sympathy is the purest expressionof social sentiment, when it is thought' of in its primary meaning: “Fellow-feeling”. It is a great neutralizer ofhard thoughts, it builds up a man’s
opinion of himself, it identifies a manwith his conununity. But let it be real
■ sympathy. Contrast the practicalsympathy of the crippled poet Byron,who, unable to fight, offered to take
half the blow* a bully was givinganother boy, with the selfish "sym
pathy” of Pepys, who wrote in hisdiary: "borrowed a coat of a man for
fid and so he rode all the way, poorman, without any”. Think, too, of theScandinavian legend about empty
sympathy; “Iduna was waited uponby smiling women. She found they
were hollow behind . . , Ellcwomenwho have no heart, and can never
pity anyone."Closely allied to practical sympathyis praise. Everyone respond* better to
approval than to censure. It p^ya in

Protecting Killers
Three things about Canada's wiki game are obvious: That it is a valuable natural resource. thatsportsmen's organisations have joined with Governments to conserve U and that, despite these efforts,
it is diminishing.Wildlife is the source of upwards of $60 millionannual revenue and is a major factor in attracting
tourists who spend around a quarter-billion dollarseach year in this country. National wildlife andtourist conferences have been concerned with more
effective means of protecting it while at the sametime permitting reasonable use of it. Research intothen* means has had the added advantage of stimulating interest in the conservation of soiL forestsampwatersheds. < m ‘Ittt in all thitf piefeyx there are anomalies. It
maXes no sease^for example, when in some partsof the country a bounty is paid on timber wolves
aa an enemy of game, and m other parts the lawforbids shooting them. Mr. Rodney Adamson ofYork West called attention to this in Commons the
other day when he demanded that the protection oftimber wolves in national parks be ended. Timberwolves, hunting individually or in packs, are des
troying deer, caribou, moose, and even elk in suchnumbers, he said, as to menace the whole economy
of vast areas in Western and Northern Canada.It is a sorry picture if hunting excesses are driving our game more and more exclusively into the
great public sanctuaries only to be slaughtered thereby protected killers. The “sacred cow” attitude ofthe National Parks Administration which Mr.
Adamson mentions appears due for revision.Globe and Mail
become a folklore classic. And ’he didn’t care.
But the song—-which is a cross between a hillbillyditty and a cAicert piece—is on the current hitparade of popular music, and the ambiguous
“Irene” has become America’s favorite girl.It is rather Ironic that so many people should
be humming Ledbetter's catchy tune right now,especially when most everyone seems to have for
gotten another Ir«ne who has been -pushed aroundso much in the last half-century that she is hardlyrecognizable. Irene was the ancient goddess ofpeace whom the Romans called “P^x." In mythology, she was the daughter of Zeus, the greatest
of the Olympian gods, father of gods and men.And she has come to rank with the Greek "Eros”,
the god of love, as symbol of humanity’s mostcherished pursuits.Lead Belly probably never heard of the Gre
cian Irene; nor, in fact, did he care a great deal
for peace. But the sound of his lady’s name, as
it comes now to millions through the various musical mediams, may recall to some the significance
of the name itself, and if it does it will be a goodthing.—London Free Press.
Wonder Fibre
They’re roping cattle with nylon lariats,on the
Alberta rangelands. In Lake Winnipeg fish arebeing hauled out in nylon nets. Wearing a crispnylon uniform, a nurse rustles into a Montreal hospital ward and sees to it that the plastic-coatednylon bed sheets are tucked in neatly. At Gander,
Newfoundland, a giant trans-Atlantic liner swoopsdown from the sky and lands on great nylon-corded
These diverse uses of nylon are symbolic of thenew era which this versatile synthetic fibre has
entered. Ten years ago nylon was introduced tothe public in the form of ladies’ hosiery. It wasquickly accepted by stocking manufacturers and
buyers alike out production 6f nylons was curtailedsharply when nylon went to war as parachute fabric and cord and as glider tow ropes. Followingwar’s end the fashion industry adopted nylon yamand staple fibre for lingerie and dress fabrics, for
wool-like sweaters and socks, for sportswear. Morerecently, nylon has taken on a variety of tougher
jobs—in industry.It is being converted into fibre cloths, carpets,upholstery, papermakers’ felts, laundry bags and
pres8 cloths. It is being used in transmission beltsand automobile tires. Nylon is becoming increasingly popular in the manufacture of ships’ hawsers,
saddle cinches and bridles, arid whaling harpoonropes. It is being developed as a flag bunting andi8 being made into fur for Arctic suits for ourArmy and Air Force.Nylon is indeed a triumph in chemistry; a triumph
that is shared by Canadians through its many benefits to them. C.I.L. Agricultural News

Swimming and Safety
The heat of the summer draws people irresistibly
to the water, and in few areas of this earth canthey enjoy it so easily as in Ontario. The abund
ance and proximity of lakes and choice of travelfacilities combine to make this enjoyment availableto greater numbers than m most countries. Addto that the kindly climate that provides the impetus,and here, in truth, the season conjures an idyllic
dream which happily can be realized even by peopleof very modest means.
With all this abundance and easy access, it wouldbe ideal if we were all equipped to enjoy our out
ings to the maximum. It ought to be a time of happiness. Yet the sad note is too prevalent, tragedytoo often has to be reckoned with. Every week-end
especially, brings its appalling toll of drownings.Each year between 200 and 300 people lose theirlives in this way.
It seems a needlessly high price to pay for the
enjoyment of what nature gave us, and indeed itis. Much of this sombre harvest could be avoided
if people in general knew how to swim. Thanks tothe supervised pools, the summer camps, the facilities provided by various organizations and some of
the schools, the opportunities are many. A YMCAswimming director has said there i8 no reason why
every child in Toronto should not be a good swimmer. It would take a better co-ordination of effortthan now exists to accomplish that desirable end.There are occasional obstacles of prejudice orindifference to be overcome. Some parents, unable
to swim themselves or remembering some earliertragedy, may frown on any indulgence in water
sports. At the other extreme, some may take toocasually for granted that children learn to swim
involuntarily. But there is no doubt that the vastmajority would be enthusiastic supporters if convinced that the means were available to teach theirchildren swimming and if sufficient stress wereplaced on its importance. By and large, youngsters
learn more readily because they have fewer inhibitions. But grown-up tyros who hesitate to confess
their ignorance would usually be surprised and delighted to find how simply they can be instructed.
If safety were the only argument in its favor,universal swimming instruction would be amplyjustified. From the standpoint of sheer enjoyment
the ease is joyously bolstered, for a swim is justabout unequalled among the pleasures we know.

August 26 w«» another rousing,
fiery night, when Stones Nationalsmade things look black for Dick
sons, tipping them on an 8 to 6count Umpire ‘Red’ McMillan threwin the towel and several players
indulged in some hearty—and to allaccounts, somewhat pointless—bick
erings.The Nat* got off the mark In
the second inning, Bradfield walking, LeWls tripled to drive him in,
then scored on Fairservice’s single.They got two more in the fourth,when McKee singled, came ia on

Dicksons raised a single telly intheir half of that frame, Baigent
scoring on a bad error by Hamiltonat third base for Stones. In the top
of the fifth, the lid blow off thingsfor a while. Dust and debris flew
wildly for a while—Stones vehemently protesting q run which scored
on an interference play, but gettingnowhere. Dicksons notched four
runs in that jnning to go ahead 5to 4. fcDodds, Bill Kerr and Riddell
hit singles and the main damagewas done by four Stones’ errors.Stones, however, regained thelead in the last of the fifth, Hamil

Bisbee and Fairservice hittingsingles to send in two more runs andmake the score 8 to 5. Hal Kerr

Although officially ended last night, tthe softball round robin playoff »er- )irt will have to carry on another two (
weeks. During the 15-game series, no jless than four were held up by rain, |
and will have to be played off now. ,They are Stones vs Centreville and ,
Cheese; Thamesford vs Cheese; and ]Dicksons vs Thamesford. ,
All the way through, it has been ’
a close series, with the teams bunchedtogether. Stones have the only perfect
record, but both Centreville and Morrows have won 3 and lost 1 and both
have only to play the league-leadingStones Nationals to round out their
schedule. Dicksons haven’t been quitethe powerhouse they were expected to
be. They have a 500 average over fourgames, arid almost went out of the
series completely last Wednesday,when the Cheese had them 11 to 3 at
one point. Cheese and Thamesford, ofcourse, both with three losses, areout of the race.
So, it is between Stones, Centreville, Morrows, with Dicksons an out
side shot. If Stones can beat Morrows (This column was written prior
to last night’s game) and Centreville they are a cinch for top spot,
but the other spot will be a three-waytie between those two teams and
Dicksons. If they lose to one or theother, it’ll be a two-way split for
first place. If they lose them boththey are out of the race anyway, thatis how close it is.
Then, of course, there are also ahundred and other things that could
happen like the Nats losing to Ingersoll Cheese, or an earthquake.
The Cream Cheese team, incidentally, almost tipped things right up
side down. Showing exactly the edgemost people expected Dicksons to have
over them, they pounded Wilf Doddfor a 11 to 3 lead after four innings.
Keith Holder, pitching a wonderfulgame, hadn’t enough sapport, how-i
ever, in the late innings and finallyhe walked in the winning*run in the
last of the ninth.If Dicksons had lost that game,
they would have been out of the running and Cheese, with two games left
to play, could have pulled into a second-place tie. Ah, well, there’s manya slip . . .
Elsewhere in this issue, a reader
writes to say ’thank you’ to Mr. E.A. Wilson for providing a swimming
pool for Ingersoll. The Wilson Memorial Pool wasn’t somethin? that was
at first appreciated. The public—orrather parts of the public—preferredto leave well alone. But during the
last two summers, when parents havebeen able to come along to swimming
meets and see for themselves justwhat their kiddies have learned, they
have come to realize just what a finething the pool has been, and still will
be in the future.
Counting last summer and this one(if, that is, you have the nerve to callthis summer), more than 500 child
ren have learned how to swim. Andat least that number again have been
given the opportunity for proper tuition. In this respect a great deal of
credit must go to M. G. ’Buck’ Billings, his staff of volunteer helpers,
and Ham Gosse, now in NiagaraFalls YMCA.

To Be Replayed
The Ingersoll and District Softball
League Executive heard two appealson recently-played games on Tuesday
night, allowing one to stand, and ruling that the other must be replayed.
Morrow’s appeal against the gamein which Centreville defeated them 9to 8, August 25th was the one over-
/ruled, the league executive sayingthat the score would stand. The ap
peal was on a play in the 10th inning as the ump ruled a ball that
got away from Morrow’s catcher Cussons had hit a spectator, and, there
fore a Centreville runner on thirdbase was entitled to an extra base.
The run scored was the tie-breakingone.
1 An appeal by Dicksons over their: 8 to 6 defeat by Stones Nationals onAugust 26th was allowed to stand,
the executive deciding that the urn-I pires had been at fault, and was or-
■ i dered to be replayed at a future date.
