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.” No. 9 in the Tribune’s Historical Review John Miller offered the town $100for the discarded Lerinn Hall <it» back of his traraee in a rommnnirn- tion to town council. He said the site, filled in. would be useful for narkingcars. 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 1950 is Record No Umpires Softball League Have Stormy Meet Faced with the knowledge that they had five more games in the roundrobin series, and then a best four of seven final series to follow, the Ing­ersoll and District Softball Leagueexecutive tackled their umpire prob­lem Tuesday night, finally decidingto contact several local men.

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.

Herbert said yesterday, will definitely be arecord year for high school enroll­ ments. The present enrollment at theIngersoll Collegiate Institute, is 290 with 10 or 15 more expected, and atThamesford Continuation School 56 are registered, an increase of about15 over last year. Of the 290 at Ingersoll, 136 areboys and 154 are girls. Of this total figure approximately 360, said theprincipal, about 160 students are from the rural municipalities.The greatest increase is in thelower and commercial classes. 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. umpiring.The executive have also decided to 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 ton, Larry Harris Frank Littell, L.Brown, Bill Davies, Jacks Landon, Frank York, Rev. C. D.

Way, London, The couplewill live in Ann Arbor, Mich. —(Courtesy London Free Press) 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.

A special meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Alexandra Hospital Trust was held August 31 in the Nurses’ Lounge in the new Hospital, the meeting being opened by the pres­ident, Mrs. P. M. Dewan. Mrs. Dewan expressed her grati­tude for the lovely wrist watch given her as n token of appreciation for herleadership the past two years. Theminutes were read by the secretary, Miss Dora Harrison. The report ofthe June Tag Day was given by Mrs. F. McDermott, in the absence of Mrs.P. E. Tuck. The results were most gratifying. The Auxiliary apprecia­ted the generous manner in which themerchants and general public con­tributed to the financial success ofthe day. Mrs. George Bartlett reported onthe markings of linens, etc., for the 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 rooms. Regret was expressed at theill health of MnfF. T."Manning, whoasked to be relieved as Library Con­ venor. Mrs. W. R. Veale was ap­pointed to take her place.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th, 1950 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. V -----------*---------- ' 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 lieves, the one thing that will save us from an­ other, more devastating, .world conflict 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) SCOTTS SCRAP BOOK By R/J.

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 KROPaiEtofl MARYLAND,yA£ IM MARYLAND* 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, GOING FISHING? Now the fishing season is in full swing. Now, too, is the time to remember, and observe, the fishing regulations. There’s a reason for them. 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. CARLING’S THE CARLING BREWERIES LIMITED WATERLOO, ONTARIO 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 NATURE UNSPOILED , • . Yours to Protect . • .

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.

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 covered near a bam a quarter of amile to the west.Nabbing robbers is nothing new for Hossack.

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.

The jacross the highway.—Courtesy London Free Press) 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, a sermon in stone if ever there wasone. The entrance hall has the qua­ lity and proportions you come to ex­pect after seeing the exterior. The fanning groins of the massive pillarsflow like .music into the great dome and carving in marble and stone,(still in the growing stage) complete a lovely and satisfactory picture.We tailed on to some sightseers being conducted by a guide and wentby elevators to the lookout below the clock on the Peace Tower. What aview of city and rivers and faraway hills one gets from that height. Wesaw the mechanism of the great clockand the massive bells of the carillon onour journey down. We drifted intothat holy of holies, the hall of mem­ory, and its beauty and the associa­ tion of ideas brought a tightening tothe throat and a tear to the eye. We half listened to the guide’s set speechwhile trying to take in the pictured and lettered scenes on the walls,which describe so poignantly the her­ oic deeds of that vast army of Can­adian youth that perished in the first World War that was to see the in­ception of a new world fit for heroes. Poor deluded humans. We had tomake a second holocaust to create a world for democracy, free foreverfrom war. And now we talk, somequite glibly, of a third, but what thatis intended to introduce, no one hasas yet &aid. If man uses the weapons his genius for design and destruc­ tion has made possible there’s little doubt that any survivors there may. , ... , . rsana wni meet aunne- cm.be will start all over agam with sticks! when Miss Irene Isaac, a L.r and stones their only weapon of of- sionary in Japan will speak.

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.

Centreville, Morrows Stage 9-8 Overtime Thriller Centreville pulled into a tight I second place tie with Morrows in Ithe playoff race, August 25th, de-!feaung them 9 to 8 in an overtime I READERS NOTE thriller that reached fever pitch when first Morrows went ahead 8-5in the top of the tenth, and then Centreville blasted in four runswith two men out. Morrows opened the scoring whenLome Mills singled in the second inning and scored on Dave Hagar’ssingle, and then with Bob Connor tieing Morrows down to one hit inthree frames, Centreville racked up five runs to lead 5 to 2 at the end of the fifth.The gamc might well have ended there and then had it not been fora bad Centreville seventh. Cussons 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. Bob Connor hit 2 for 4 including ahomer in the third.

Ingersoll evened the count in the fourth,Olive Kimberley slapping out a four-bagger with Thelma Smith coming in ahead of her.Wtih Mary Fruttarol holding the Crumlin team down, Ingersoll scoredanother two in the > sixth, Olive Kimberley again crashing throughwith a home run, this time with Louise Fruttarol on base.It was also a two-run homer inthe seventh that put Crumlin again on even terms with Ingersoll, andin the last half of that frame whenJean Dodd scored on an error.A big eighth inning clinched things for Ingersoll, and they forgedahead. Louise Fruttarol started with her team’s third home run and wasfollowed with a walk to Smith and single by Betteridge, Mary Frut­tarol and Katie Before. Crumlin — 011 000 201—5 2 3 Ingersoll .... 000 202 14x—9 9 3 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.

I —(Courtesy London Free Press) 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.

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 Good Night Irene . Huddie (“Lead Belly”) Ledbetter spent hismost useful years in jail. He. did not know that his disjointed ballad “Good Night, Irene”, would 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. _____________________ (Globe and Mail) 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 Hamilton’s single and then Brad­field double* to score Hamilton.

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. THAMESFORD NATIVEMRS. LEIGH DIES Mrs. Walter A.

Hardware FARM SOLD CLEARING AUCTION SALE OF Farm Stock and Implements The undersigned auctioneers havereceived instructions from Charles Oicksons vs Stones 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.
