The Jaycees 2nd annual Christ­ mas party (and also their ladies’night), will be Dec. 20, at Hillcrest,and the party will also bring some Christmas cheer to some underpriv­ileged children. The Jaycees had a big share in getting out the vote in the recenttown elections. They also helped torecord it so that The Tribune could present minute-by-minute reports ofthe voting. . The following Jayceesworked election night so you couldhave up-to-the-minuto returns: Bill Clark, Roy Crolley, George ReithEddie Ide, Dave Stone, Merv Hay­cock, Herb Hieklin, Walt Burton and Dave Campbell.

DeGrace in a wheel chair, was represented byJohn C. McBride. DeGrace pleadedguilty, and after Duncan Hossack, of Thames ford, told how he appre­hended the accused in his garage,then brought him down with his revolver, Magistrate Groom senten­ced him to a year.

(By Alan Havard) Many flourishing businesses have,witnessed their beginnings in many|different ways, but few can attri­ bute their birth to a visitor from Iseveral hundred miles away.Yet that is just how the Ingersoll Casket Company came into being.Founded in 1887, as a furniturefactory, by a Mr. Hault, it was pur­ chased at the turn of the centuryby the Ellis family and in 1927 by the late James Cole.It was known then as the James[ A. Cole Furniture Company, but. in common with the entire furnituremanufacturing industry, it suffered badly during the depression years ofthe early thirties. The James A. Cole factory was more fortunate thanmany in that it did, at least, survive.In 1932, when things were still very slow, a former Ingersoll mandecided he would take a trip fromDetroit, where he owned a success- The Production-Management Com­mittee i« another democratic devel­opment fostered by the present man­ agement, which was formed over ayear ago. This committee consist* of four men elected by secret balleteach year and four men appointedby the management. They meet every second Tuesday of each month.In addition to studying suggestionsmade and any complaints submitted, this committee receives the Operat­ing Statement for the previous month and for the year to date, in­cluding sales,cost of materials, oper. ating expenses and profits earned.In this manner the members of theCommittee know exactly the prog­ ress of the business from month tomonth, and what new ideas or meth­ ods are planned for the future, allof which they can relay to the rest of the employees throughout thePlant.

The Lions Club decided at theipeeting Monday night that they would buy the equipment, after Mrs. Smithhad pointed out that valuable time was wasted because the hospital hadbut one at present. The Club also decided to donate $100to the Salvation Army, to be used for furnishing Christmas hampers forneedy families. At their Christmas Party next Monday, the membersdecided they would each bring some food, up to the value of 50 cents amember, which would also go to th* some cause. A new member. William K. Davies, was welcomed into the club. PresidentNorm Harper and Past President Carl Palmer acting as initiation team, withSam Naftolin as sponsor. The secretary. Alan Harvard, in hisreport, read letters thanking the club for two things. One was from AbleSeaman J. W. Dean, who was one of the men to whom Christmas parcelswere sent by the club. The other was from children at the public schools. Claanlineis One of the most noticeable fea­tures to a visitor is nn almost com­ plete absence of shavings and saw­dust which, considering the volumeof lumber that passes through theplant, is quite amazing. The answer is a vast,cleaner system named enough), Cyclone. On each of thebig machines used to cut, sand, plane and shape the wood, is a widemouthed tube which reaches downfrom the ceiling, where it connect swith the main arteries of thissystem. In the Cyclone mechanism are two Igiant fans that whirl all day, actingon exactly the same principle as agigantic vacuum cleaner. The shav-, ings and saw-dust are sucked fromthe machines into the tentacles of! the system and drawn into a hugehopper at the rear of the plant. To-'gether with ends of sawn timber.! they form the largest part of thefuel used to heat the plant and Ikilns. The Cyclone system is but oneof the unique features of this mod­em factory. Others, such as a share I production pay plan, production Imanagement committee, and a spec-1ial beginner-training plan affect the employees.

Last May, when Mr. Queen beganhis campaign, the drive was$480,000 short of its objective. At the end of November, it was downto $350,000. DENNIS BOOSTED TO LONDON POST Constable Dennis Alsop, one of themost enthusiastic and popular con- stables to be stationed in Ingersoll,has been posted to London ProvincialPolice headquarters, in charge of the finger print and photography depart­ments. Constable Alsop showed tremend­ous interest in finger printing andphotography (spending many of his own hours at it) and also developeda filing system heresconsidered secondto none. It is expected he will be shortly sent to Ottawa to take aspecial course.He is being succeeded here by Pro­vincial Constable £arl Preston. Cleain Youn Walks Mr. Eidt Urges A plea to all citizens to cleantheir sidewalks after a snowfall, is issued by Councillor C. A. Eidt,chairman of the board of works.Too many people are neglecting this duty, he said, nnd it was notfair to those who did accept their responsibility. If older folk cannotpersonally dean their walks, thensomeone should be hired, he said. Mothers with children cannot pushcarriages through snow, he added.Mr. Eidt noted that there is a by­ law compelling people to dean theirwalks, but the town did not want toresort to it, unless absolutely nec­ essary. a red pine, ironwood from balsam.,But he can now, and he travels tens lof thousands of miles annually buy­ing lumber both for import and ex­ port.

Next year Alhopes to develop a builders’ supplies business, too, and thus be able tosupply a builder his every need. When Al bought the mill atMarkdale, it was just like returningi home.

Today our policeman friend is an !ex-policeman, and instead is the 1 president of an up-and-coming lum­ber business. The man is Al Law- ; rence. His firm is Markdale LumberLimited.

Plant officials said they had beenscouring the countryside for steel,and jn an effort to keep the plant going, and gain a few days in steeldelivery they had brought in semi­ finished steel and Morrow’s were fin­ishing it (by working overtime) sothat the various Machine Co. divis­ ions could get going again.It was pointed out that if they waited until the supplier^ themselvesfinished the steel, Machine Companyworkers would face a longer lay-off. \iiuam xtenry ouuienanu, inger-soll, represented Embro, West Zorra and East Nissouri in Oxford CountyCouncil nearly 50 years ago.

Who did you say was visiting you last week-end? fibeenltB:, i: VBhseigaBuslalel As Council Meets On Tuesday, January 2, Ingersoll’s new council will be sworn in and later that evening, settle down to the town’s business for the year. There are certainly many matters to discuss, and we -will mention but a few. Certainly the most urgent is a new high school, wot just for Ingersoll but for the district. No one, here or in the four townships which will share the cost, denies the need for the school. The situation is bad now, and will be worse year by year. Coun­ cil should indicate to the councils of the four townships—West Oxford, North Oxford, West Zorra and East Nissouri—their desire to confer on the situation in order to arrive at some amic­ able arrangement. Then there is the matter of town planning. Ingersoll like Topsy, has "just growed. There has been no rhyme nor reason to its’ development There still isn’t You can build anything anywhere in this cornunity, just so long as you buy a build­ ing permit If we are to really progress, we can’t remain a hodge *0odge. There are grounds to be­ lieve, with one of town planning’s greatest propon­ ents, Buzz Fick, now in council, that the whole business will 'be pushed right after the new year. Another problem is the intersection of Thames and Charles streets, and something has to be done —soon—to eliminate a hazard that someday will kill somebody, let alone, in the meantime, scare many people out of their wits. Of course, when the new highway goes through, the traffic will -hot be as great, but until that time people would like to be able to cross the intersection with peace of mind, and at least a 50-50 chance of getting over safely. The railroad crossing situation is not yet what it should be. The new switching yard is in, at a cost of *10,000 or so, and deflnite orders are out to the rail men to use it, and not clutter up the highway, but still it goes on.. Train crews can be (fined for holding up a crossing for more than somany minutes. Maybe a couple of cases like that might sharpen them up. The chamber of commerce has worked hard on the situation; the town might join with them in a united protest to cut out the unnecessary cross-highway switching.And we feel that works deparment can still stand a bit of sparking. The first night of the recent big storm, Bell Street hill became like a skating rink, with transports unable to make the grade. We are informed that around four or five a.m., an official was telephoned, and urged to get the men out and get some sand on the hilt Trucks were stranded for blocks. The official said he didn’t like to get the men out at that hour. At seven o’clock he was called again. Still no sand. The department was prodded again. Finally, nineish or later, sand was scattered over the hill. It is the duty of the works department to act on a dangerous situatidn like that, when seriousOccidents might easily result, immediately, no mat- ''ter what the hour. If-they have to work all night —okay, they can sleep during the day. Perhaps we do need more equipment, but it still has to be used at the right time. Council will have one brand new face next year, Buzz Fick, and an old-timer returned to the fold, Stanley J. Smith. Mr. Fick is young, ener­ getic and with very definite ideas. He is particu­ larly keen on town planning and zoning. Mr. Smith js full of ideas, and at nomination meeting he particularly mentioned his interest in the works department. While Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray must be congratulated on his victory, it is nevertheless a pity that a man of Tom (Morrison’s experience should be entirely lost to the town’s government. It Is too bad there cannot be some arrangement whereby when a man of experience seeks higher office, and fails, he can revert to his old spot and still be able to put his knowledge at the disposalof the community. You can rest assured, however, that even though he will not be in council, Mr. Morrison’s interests will always be those of the community, and he will be at the community’s disposal if and when needed. Tn a recent issue we suggested Mr. Morrison had decided to shelve his interest inmunicipal affairs and wouldn't ever run again. He nearly blew us off the phone with his denial We’re glad because men of his calibre are not too often found interested in their community. And passing praise, one should not forget Coun­ cillor Lome Healy who devoted a long time to make Ingersoll a better place in which to live, but failed to qualify for re-election. It is a sad state, but a seemingly typical one, that too few men of good calibre offer themselves to serve their com­munity. It is a pity.

Others, more far-sighted, realized that there was truth in the old saying that on ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. With the world situation as it is today no onocan truthfully say there will not be another war. All of us, goodness only knows, hope that it will not materialize but still the threat is present. Together with that threat of another war is the distinct threat of aerial bombardment of cities and towns in Canada. Any Canadian who saw the British Isles or Europe, during the last war will testify that an air raid is a very terrible thing. In the space of a few hours, whole communities were wiped out and thousands of homes, factories and stores razed. Hundreds of people were killed and maimed by the searing explosions that trap­ ped them under tons of falling brickwork. It is not ‘cry wolf’, but plain, unvarnished truth. If Canadian towns were to undergo attack from the air tne power contained in the bombs would be ten times as terrible as it was in the last war. Atomic weapons would most probably be used, bringing their wide-spread devastation. The people of 'Britain know about Civil De­ fence. It is not just something that ‘is a good idea’ in case of air raids. Nor is it somewhere for the boys to go for a nice, quiet evening. Civil De­ fense—organized in every town and city—is an essential in combating air attacks. It^is every bit as essential as a competent fire-fighting force and as necessary to survival as our very life blood. When a city is bombed everyone is in the war, and everyone must play their part. Let us not wait until it has happened; should air raids come, let us be prepared for them. And in the mean­ time let us hope and pray that all our preparationswill be unnecessary. Joke Time A friend stopped us on the street the other day and said, “You know, I like your editorials. But like all newspapers, they are too serious. How about making us*laugh for a change?’’ Well, we thought about it, and then came across this selection of jokes from various Lions Club bulle­ tins across Canada and the States. So, for our friend, here they are: After a very trying day, the husband was en­ joying his pipe and reading the evening paper. His wife, who was working on a crossword puzzle, suddenly called out: "Henry, what is a female sheep?” ‘^Ewe”, he replied-----and that is how the fight started .... The boy walked up to his father and said, un­ hesitatingly, “Dad, here is my report card—and one of yours that I found in the attic’’. . . . A woman stepped off the scales and turned to her husband. He eyed her appraisingly and said: “Well, what’s the verdict, dear, a little over­ weight, eh?” “Oh, no”, she replied, "I .wouldn’t say that, but according to the height chart prin­ ted on the front of these scales I should be aboutsix inches taller” . . . “I am sorry", said the dentist, “But I can’t give you an appointment this afternoon. I have 18 cavities to fill.” Then he picked up his golf bagand walked out . . . With his wife sick in bed, hubby (and pande­ monium) reigned supreme in the kitchen. The tea was missing and he couldn’t find it anywhere.“Gosh, I don’t know why you can’t”, she called down, "It’s right in front, in a cocoa tin marked matches.” If you think you think, ask yourself what is the greatest thought you have ever thought Thenlisten to the silence . . , Notes on the Editor's Pad Last week in our ’What Others Sa/ column, we published some writing errors that had been noted in another paper. It prompted us to recall some curious ideas about anatomy that we had seen so here they are. It was stated the otherday that “A colonel was recently shot in the ticket office.” Another story tells of a man who was shot “in the suburbs.” Others recently noted: “He kissed her upon her reappearance.” “She whipped him upon his return”; "He slapped her in the middle of the excitement"; "She walked in on his invitation”; "She seated herself on his enter­ ing”; “She sat down upon her being asked”; and"She fainted upon his arrival.” Don’t Be Shy The other day we got a gently chiding note from a very good friend. The chiding was deser­ved, regrettably so. But you. Tribune readers, deserve the verbal spanking just as much as we do, snd for that reason we publish it herewith, and trust that all of us will take heed and remedy the situation. We, for one, wont to.Here is her letter: “Dear Mr. Editor: "What’s happening to the *personal' column in The Tribune . . .

It was cancelled for aday because of bad weather, butcrowds turned out to see him when Santa did arrive in town.We of The Tirbune </-dded to dosomething a little different thiayear in writing about it. So, instead of telling what Ingersoll thought ofSanta, we thought we*d try and And out what Santa thought ofIngersoll.So at great trouble and expense,we put in a long distance telephonecall to the North Pole. We couldn’tget the Old Saint, (he was out hav­ing his beard trimmed), but we got hold of his right hand reindeer, andhere is the conversation:“Hello, I'm Rudolph. I guess you know me—I help pull Santa Claus’sleigh each year along with Dancerand Prancer, Dormer and Blitzbenand all the other reindeer.aay I do, so do all the other rein- ‘'Do I remember Ingersoll? I'lldeer and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus.You know we arrived there ready for Thursday, but it was raining sohard we just couldn’t put on theparade. And cold ... Was my nose ever red?“So Thursday night Old SaintNick kind of pulled a few wires with the Weather Man, and we gotsnow. Not much, but just enoughto make it seem Christmassy. And that’s the way it was Friday after­noon, when the parade was due tostart. “Say, have you ever got a lot ofkiddies in Ingersoll? I never thoughtthere’d be so many in one placeanywhere. I think they were just asglad to see us as we were to seethem, too. Everywhere I looked there were kiddies. And some of ’emweren’t so little, either. In fact,Vixen sniffed and remarked, "Huh, I thought this parade was supposedto be for the children.’’“But don’t take any notice of her,she’s just naturally grumpy—shedoesn’t mean anything by it. Be­sides, Mrs. Santa said afterwards that she thought it was. just wonder­ful to see so many people and child­ren out on the main street. They were lined up two, and three deepall along the route of the parade.“We had an awfully pretty par­ade this year, so we were very gladto see so many people out. Therewas Pfrmochio’s Band, the Big Bad Wolf, the Old Lady in a Shoe, andthere was the Monkey, and then there was Mother Goose, Noah’s W all Paper S ale!

We brought thecarriage along especially for them.Their names were Lynn Ford andBrian Foster. And, of course therewas your own Boys’ and Girls* Band,too.“What’s that? You say you were happy to see us. Well, we were surehappy you invited us to come. Yes,you bet. It was a pleasure to see so many people having so much fun.“Say, before you ring off, is thereanything you’d like for Christmas, Mr. Reporter. If there is I’ll see youget it. There is, eh? And what isit .... ” Now you readers wouldn’t reallybe interested in that, would you? Don’t Pick Just Any Old Toy When you are looking for toys this Christmas for the “middle-agedchild’’—the one from six to eight,don’t think you can get away with a stuffed animal any more. Youngsterswho are off to school will look with scorn on toys that smack of baby­hood, says E. R. McEwen, Secretary,Recreation Division of the Canadian Welfare Council.The interest of these children,Mh. McEwen says, has reached be­ yond the walls of their home. Ad­venture, magic and excitement aretheir delight. Radio stories and the funnies are big things in their lives.Their interests are more diverse than deep; their hobbies are usuallyshort-lived, but pursued with tre­mendous enthusiasm. These are the factors to keep inmind when buying tqys, (Mr. Mc­Ewen state.*.To satisfy that boundless energyand the desire to learn new skills,a boy or girl will welcome a skip­ ping rope, a bicycle, roller skates,skis, ice skates, a ping pong set. A pet is a fine present, but if youare not the parent you would bewise to consult them first. You won’t go wrong with beginner’s kitsfor making models, carpentry, prin­ting, chemistry, carving, embroid­ery, and so on. But make sure thatthe kits contain sturdy, serviceable tools which can be put to use forthe length of time the enthusiasmlas to. In the child of nine or ten thetie with the home and family is notso strong, according to Mr. McEwen. Now it is the gang which exerts thebig influence. He has become skep­ tical practical and realistic. Hewants factual information about hisworld. He is capable of playing on a team and abiding by the rules,but also likes to form exclusiveclubs and set up codes of behaviour. Don't expect the 10-year old togo into raptures over a set of toysoldiers. Solitary games of imagin­ ation belong to his past. Give hima gift he can use in a group, such things as puppets, lantern slides, ora magic set.When you buy him tools or equip­ment for games make sure they are“regulation”, not toys. Let himmatch wits with his parents in games like checkers and chess, andcard games. Pick his books carefully avoiding phantasy and make believechoosing instead stories of adven­ture. Mr. MvtEwen gives one last wordof caution—if you decide to givea nine or ten-year old an article of clothing be very sure that it is whatthe gang is wear ing. Grand Old Man Alex Pearson Dies At Nearly 97 His 97th birthday only a monthaway, Alexander Pearson Ingersoll’sgrand old man, died at his home, 95William St, Dec. 7, after 71 yearsin Ingersoll. The funeral was held Saturday, with Rev. <C. D. Danieland Rev. R. A. Facey officiating,and interment in Ingersoll Rural Cemetery.Mr. Pearson, who very much re-sembled the late George Bernard Shaw, was keen and bright right upto the very last He followed worldevents—and the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey team—with much inter­est and he had a thoughtful opin­ ion on most affairs of the day. Thefact he was confined to his bed didnot Affect his spirits.One of the few remaining linkswith Ingersoll’s past, Mr. Pearsonwas born in Lancashire, England, Jan. 3, 1854, son of Mr. and Mrs.Charles Pearson. He came out herealone, the eldest of a family of 13. The only survivors are two sisters,both in England—Mrs. LillianSwain and Mrs. Harriet Walmsley. During his lifetime, Mr. Pearsonmade several visits back home.Economic conditions were “pretty tough”, when Mr. Pearson firstcame to Ingersoll, and on the adviceof a friend, he went to London for a while. It was while there thatLondon suffered one of its biggestcatastrophes when the Victoria rolled over in the Thames, killing 200 ormore. Mr. Pearson recalled how he might have been on that ill-fatedship had he not accepted an invita­tion to visit at Dorchester. Mr. Pearson occasionally recalled goingdown to the river area and seeingthe hundreds of bodies stretched out |on the bank. His first job was with what is nowthe Empire Brass Co. In Ingersoll,he first worked for the old Rusell Foundry which stood where Cookand Brown, are now, then the TomBrown Foundry, which was whereOdell and Allen now stand. Amechanic, he also worked with theformer Noxon Co., the old IngersollPacking Co., the Ingersoll Machine an<f Tool Co., 'Borden’s and latterly,at Morrow's, where his son, Charlie, haa also been for years. His wife,the former Lydia Alice Holmes, diedin 1943.A member and elder of TrintyUnited Church, Mr. Pearson is sur­vived by two daughters, Miss Lillianand Mrs. A. D. Martyn, of Ingersoll, and three sons, Charlie, William H.,of Toronto, and H. P. ‘tPete’’, ofVancouver Island. A grandson, Alec at Guelph, now uses a draftingboard that Mr. Pearson’s fathergave him when he left England 71years ago. zThe funeral was held from Char­ lie Pearson’s home, 73 William St.Pallbearers who also acted as flowerbearers, were: Bill Pearson, DonMartyn, Jr., Manuel Monson, AlecPearson, Bert Carr and Don Mar­tyn, Sr. decorations,Many tables of bridge and can­asta were in progress during the evening. The ringing of the firstbell for all to move to another table brought forth peals of laugh­ter from many fans no doubt leftwith quite a large handful of cards.While not as hilarious the tables of bridge were as equally well en­joyed.As the close of the games the regent expressed her pleasure atbeing afforded the opportunity togreet in person the members of the Chapter at such a Christmas gath­ering. Regret was expressed at theinability of the Chapter’s HonoraryRegent Mrs. J. C, Norsworthy to be present owing to illness, but it wasannounced that her condition wasshowing favourable improvement. .Two delightful piano duets wererendered by Mrs. L. W, Staples andMrs. P. T.

These trol­leys run on rails which span the length of the building and by a sy­stem of transfer rails, can be push­ed straight into the big, double dry­ ing kiln which is the primary stageof their journey through the fac­tory. Although it sounds a little para­doxical, the timber is actually driedby being wetted! The kilns takeabout 16,000 feet of timber. About25 to 30% of green lumber is mois­ture, so the process necessitates ckying that out, and at the sametime keeping the outside surfaces The Ingersoll Junior Chamber of Commerce wish to thank the following merchants of Ingersoll for sponsoring the Santa Claus parade for the children of Ingersoll: v (Nothing leave* the ground flooruntil it has been minutely inspectedfor flaws, bruises and blemishes, but from the time it leaves for theupper two floors, the lumber is al­most entirely in the hands of skilledcraftsmen, where knowledge is offar more importance than mach­inery. They do use some, of course, fordrilling and similar tasks, but stillit is the technical art of the cabinetmakers that fashions the high- qual­ity Ingersoll casket The lumber used in each style ofcasket has its own reference num­ber, and when it comes up from the first floor, it is stacked in the cab­inet room in piles that are corres-•pondingly numbered.

Making the curved lids is a jobof surprising intricacv. The separatepieces are screwed together, the cor­ ners fastened with special clampnails, strew points reinforced, andthe whole kept in perfect shape in tight-fitting jigs. The various orn­amental pieces are stored on thisfloor as they come, finished, from the downstairs machines and as thefinished caskets are completed, theyare taken by elevator to the next floor, the finishing department.It is here that the beauty of thenatural woods is enhanced and pre­served.

Minister Discusses Liquor Problem It’s "calf club night" at tonight's meeting of the Kiwanis Club, andspecial guests will be members of the Ingersoll Calf Club, and George Bell,agricultural representative, and Ken Best, assistant representative. Guestspeaker, announced Don Mackenzie at last week's meeting, will be Rev.“Baldy” Young, padre at OAC. Last week's speaker was Rev. R. D.McDonald of Tillsonburg, who recently attended special conferences concerningalcoholism at Yale University. His sub­ ject was "alcoholism”. Introduced byWarwick Marshall, Mr. McDonald said no subject could start a -controversyquicker, or hotter, than liauor. He deplored the fact that "rabid drys" and“rabid wets” were unable to find acommon ground on which the subject — and problem — could be discussed rationally."Both sides try to quote the Scrip­tures in support of their stands," he said, commenting that he personallyfound it impossible to be either a rabid dry or a rabid wet “The temptationfor the drjls is to take some little bit from the Scripture in support of theirstand. The wets do the same. There is no special injunction against the useof alcohol in either the old or the new testament. The rabid drys,” he noted,“think I’m hardly worthy of my pro­ fession, and the wets wonder why I goso far and then stop." Lauds GovernmentMr. McDonald said he was sent to Yale by the department of researchof the Liquor Control Board, and. he said he was gratified that the govern­ment took such an interest in the problem. At Yale, in his own studies,he said, he found there was a greatdeal of error in the thinking of boththe wets and the drys. “It seems tohave become a subject in which we don’t deal with the facts,” he regretted.He said he was most impressed with the high quality of men connected withthe trade in Canada, as compared with their US. counterparts.Mr. McDonald said that while the Canadian Army still classes alcohol asa stimulant, actually it isn’t, but is rather an an&thetic “or depressent."“Alcohol does no more to speed up a man’s heart than 10 or 12 good, deepbreaths of air,” he asserted. Physiol­ ogists say, he said, that the increasedheart beat and blood pressure after drinking is really caused by the deepbreaths instinctively taken as the al­ cohol irritated internal organs.With a chuckle, he recalled that it wasn't so long ago that people feltthat the man who drank over the years in the end just vanished into thin air.Beer drinkers, he related, when drunk fell on their faces, wine drinkers ontheir backs, and hard-liquor drinkers, sideways. On the highways, the speakercontinued, it wasn’t the drunken driver, but the drinking driver who was the problem.AA Is PraisedMr. McDonald praised the work of Alcoholics Anonymous. Their zeal, het »id, was comparable to that of the early Christians. The early Christianseach felt he was a sinner and needed this Christian fellowship to carry on.11 was the same with AA, he said. Rich, poor, men, women all were under theume sentence of saying no to the first drink, 24 hours a day. every day oftheir lives. They are all helping one another to bear that big load andresponsibility. Don Mackenzie, thanking the speaker,said people must realize liauor was here to stay, that it was a problem, andthat it must be handled in a sane manner. To do that, it was a matter |of education. 1 Birthdays were sung for Rev. John Ward and Dr. H. G. Furlong. AlexYule was welcomed back, Freddie Jones conducted the sing-song, withWalt Thurtell at the niano. President Jack Herbert ]aud«d Monte Jarrett forhaving nenwnally bouaht the materials and packed 30 parcels to be sent Inger,soil’s men on active service.

Dave Holmes introduced thetwo main guests of the evening, men­ tioning that Tooffood's performance inthe recent Gray Cup final against Win­ nipeg had been the greatest individualperformance seen for many years. Got To Work Hard Ted said there were two theories about active athletic participation.Some people felt if you did nothing, you wouldn't wear yourself out. Othersfelt athletic activity only gave the organs their proper usage, and thuscaused a body to develop and grow. Some still think sport dangerous, hesaid, but he mentioned that the worst accident one school ever had was whena chess player leaned back too far, fell over and fractured his pelvis. Buthe told the eager boys: “Remember, to get the most out of sport, you've gotto put everything into it” Nick Volpe told the boys that whenthey got a new high school, and better facilities, they would probably produceeven better football and other teams.Mentioning that he and Ted were the lightest members of the Argo team, hesaid: “If you're small at high school, dqn’t worry too much about your size.If you have the desire, you can play better than guys; three thnci; your size.If they're bigger, hit ’em harder. They’ll fall.” JWhen one lad, in a question period when the players faced a battery ofquestioners, asked who was the most important player on a team, Nickreplied: "There are 12 men on a team -period.’’Ted said the defensive players werejust as important as the offensive. No team, without a good line, will wingames, he said. He noted that the Argos had the lightest line in the league,"but the desire to win.” “That again,” he said, “suggests that size doesn't mean • Plan Yule Parcels To Home Patients The Grace Patterson Women’sInstitute held their Christmas meet­ing in the basement of Westminster United Church with the society fromKintore as their guests.

I’d like to see if he remembersFred and Jack Leathom, Lou Fisher, Hank McVea, Jack Nunn and a lotmore.We’ll have to get together, us old timers, and have an "Ingersollnight”, with all the trimmings.We should top it off with somepork T-loins, cooked in the hot lardkettles dangling on a string, andmaybe “a wee mite o’ guid auldIngersoll cheese.”E D. DOTZERT. Sir: It was with much interest and amusement that I read an article 'in The Star by (Mr. Ted Douglas 1 about the old “Toonerville trolley'* that used to run between Ingersoll Iand Woodstock.What memories it brings back of ■my own days as a young “feller'’.Yes, I too, rode the old "Tooner­ville’’ way back in 1919. R. M. H.(Harrison of the “Now” column),writes of “h city so alluring", and he is 100 per cent right speaking ofWindsor.But there is something alluring about that old town of Ingersoll onthe winding. Thames, that will al­ ways be green in my garden ofmemories.That Spring after World War I, a young butcher in the town ofForest got tired of working for$15 per, and decided to venture 1 far afield.First, he tried London with An­ derson Brothen^ in the old MarketHouse, (which aso reminds us thatwe were there -when the First Bat­ talion, W.O.R., came home fromwar).We had always an, itching foot, so seeing an advertisement in theLondon Free Press calling for but­ chers at the Ingersoll Packing Com- 'pany, down to Ingersoll we wentThe old Ingersoll Packing Com­pany. a large production line porkpacking plant was once one of Ing­ ersoll’s leading industries. It hassince disappeared. Today, only a fewof the old buildings remain, beside crumbled concrete foundations, nearthe Thames river, where once thegreat industry stood. In those days, Mrs. Tom Youngkept boarders, on the hill above the company office, while her husband, 'well on in years, was the night : watchman at what was known as :the “pork factory.”I can still taste those good old 'home-cooked dinners we used to sit 1 down to around 6.30 p.m. 1 There are some Ingersollites liv- <ing around Windsor, so I wonder 3 if any old timers remember Wood- *cock, “the all around man.” He was quite the playboy.On one hot summer night, itseems Tommy Young decided totake his shoes off and relax.He was having a few winks when Woodcock happened along, Noticingthe shoes, he- quietly removed themto another part of the plant, nailed them to the floor and painted themred. «Oh, yes, I could go on for hours. The old bridge over (which theydrove the hogs to the killing floor,some 40 feet above the street. The great hog pens three storiesin height and built of white brick.Why, it was a poor week if we didn't get 3,000 hogs. I’ve seenseven cars of Wiltshire Sides leavethat old plant at one tim£, for ship­ ment overseas.How many of that old gang areleft? Eddie McFee was the “super”and his dad, then a man of perhaps70, was still able to swing knife andsteel with the best. It’s all gone now. Nothing leftexcept the cheese department, butin its heydey, this firm was one ofCanada’s leading packing plants, New Meteor Has Brand New Panel A complettely new departure from previous front end stylingmarks the new Meteor passengercars for 1951, Interior-wise the ’51 model’* out­standing new feature is its new in­ strument panel, steering and otheroperational control equipment.

A newspeedometer hand spot-iighta the speed at wihch the car is driven,speed at which the car is drivenThe steering whee 1 is engineered for maximum instrument visibility,with re-positioned cross arms.Suspension improvement* and au­tomatic ride controls are built intothe new Meteors for greater pass­enger comfort The combination ofnew tension-type rear spring sus­pension and softer front spring rateis introduced to maintain balance fore and aft while a new controlvalve in the hydraulic shock absorb­ers adjusts their cushioning react­ ion to rd ugh roads. The Meteor’sfront seat Mt on curved mount­ings, and moved automatically byan assist spring, can (be adjusted tothe individual stature of the driver, not only for greater comfort butalso to give shorter people betterforward visibility.

There is little we can do as in­dividuals, we think, but seldom do we do the little we may. No manrobs another of the liberty to saywhat he thinks without robbing all men of that liberty.

CARLINGSTHI CABLING BREWERIES LIMITED The news that Spain is now to beaccepted in the Council of the U.N.brought vividly to mind the great novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls'’,which came to life as a result of the disastrous Civil War in that coun­try. The last lines of Donne’s poemprefaces the novel and sets the theme of the whole work. A prefaceis often overlooked by the reader in his hurry to get to the heart ofthe matter. Preliminaries are a bore,he thinks, but he may, by dismiss­ ing them, fail to understand fullythe argument and so ladk sympathywith. the viewpoint expressed. Whatever affects one of us affectsall says Donne. The list of suffer­ ings of the people in the novel is thelist of sufferings of all people. Ifthey succumb, we succumb. If they survive, we survive. If, as hapensin this work, the people in their search for freedom are vanquishedthen we too are vanquished. In asmuch as they suffered in vain, so do we, for we are all of the same fleshand blood; all of the same desires, weaknesses and strengths. If there­fore they fail, we fail; it is theirstrength and ours that are over­ come.We sit back and think that what happens to people some thousands — ---------------„ ---------- -------„of miles across the seas is none of Men’s Club.our business.

Ingersoll “Veteran” “Returns” To The Council WOODSTOCK -Nearly 50 years ago a young man walked into OxfordCounty Council and did his part to formulate the banner County of Ox­ford.
