K. “Dick” Taylor lea to Hon. G.H. Doucett g elimination of “death knoll”, on No .2 high- so west of Thamesford, has today been sent toH. Doucett, minister of highways, at Queen's tter, which echoes the sentiments of police, publicotorists generally and citizens of the district, fol- lay's head-on collision which brought death to fivees of varying degree to at least half a dozen more HHwt.woien and children. This accident, the worst in thecounty’s history, follows scores of similar, though not so ser­ ious crashes at exactly the same spot, and it is felt somethingmust be done before more and perhaps even worse catas­trophes occur. The letter follows representations from people; groups and organizations whose feelings are fully sharpd by thewriter, the editor of this newspaper. The lettef, a copy of which has been sent to Oxford County’s M.P.P., Mr. T. R.Dent, reads as follows:“Dear Mr. Doucett: “You no doubt have read of the tragic accident on No. 2highway, just west of Thamesford, Saturday, which took the lives of five people and injured just as many more.“This accident, while the most* serious is, as provincial police records will show, only one in a long series of similarhead-on collisions at precisely the same spot. If conditions Re­ main the same, it will not be the last, and quite possibly notthe worst. “The scene of these accidents is known as Sims’ Hill, (forthe farmer whose home is right opposite), or ’Death Knoll.’ It is not a big hill, but it is deceptive, particularly where theeast-bound motorist is concerned.“Driving from the west to the east, the motorist thinks hecan see clear highway straight ahead for a mile, with not anapproaching car in sight There are two signs on either side of the highway which say ‘Caution—Keep Right’, but the motorist, particularly a stranger, (and it is a fact that generally Americans are involved in accidents at this point), thinks theyare merely stressing a routine point and out he goes to pass. “Unfortunately, however, the highway takes a deceptivedrop at this point one which easily hides an oncoming car or two. A west-bound auto, coming up the grade, hasn’t got achance, of course. And that’s why we’re having so many acci­ dents at this place, and will continue to do so unless the situa­tion is remedied. “It is the feeling of many of us that this terrible hazardand death trap can easily be nullified^—by simply taking offthe crest of the knoll. It would mean breaking up the high­ way over a very small section, removing a comparatively smallamount of hill, then repaving. “The knoll is a piece of deception that will lure manyanother to his death if allowed to stand. Signs will not do the job.“Hoping your department will give this matter your im­mediate attention,Yours respectfully, THOMAS R. LEE.Editor and PublisherThe Ingersoll Tribune, (with which is incorporated Thq Thamesford Tribune). Praises Hospital Nurses, 'Doctors For ^Crasir Work High praise (or the way th*Alexandra Hospital staff, under thedirection oE Mrs. R. L. Smith, and Ingersoll's medical men handled theemeigency Saturday following the crash at Thamesford which killedfive, and injured half a dozen more,was voiced today by Royden G. Start, president of the AlexandraHospital Trust. It was shortly after 1 p.m., thatthe hospital was told of the crash■nd warned to (be ready to handle numbers of badly injured and dying people. Every Ingersoll doctor wasreached and rushed to the hospital. Every nurse that could <be reachedwas brought back. All the town’sclergymen were asked to hurrydown. And they did.“It was the biggest such emer­gency the hospital has had to meet," said Mr. Start, “and it was except­ionally handled. It could never havebeen so handled at the old hosptal, with that limited equipment"Mr. Start also had high praise for members of Preston T. Walker'sambulance staff. The ambulance was on the scene within minutes ofthe county’s worst highway accident being reported, and continued toshuttle back with dead and injured.And at the hospital, Mr. Start said, the men went far beyond their reg­ular service in order to help bothpatients and a busy hospital andmedical staff.Dr. T. M. Weir of Thamesford, was one of the first on the scene,and in co-operation with the policeand Bill Carrothera of Carrothers’ Funeral Home, got the injured tomedical help in record time. We must apologize for the Tribunebeing half a day late this week, butthe loss of two days this week,one em­ ployee (permanent) and one more(temporarily), was just too much for us mere ladies and men.

DECEMBER 28, 1956 Happy New Year It’s rather like a hockey game with five minutes to play and one side leading by ten goals. It’s all over bar the shouting. 1950 is almost dead, the birth of 1951 just around the corner. How many shattered hopes, unfilled dreams, moments of pain and despair it will take with it are known only to each individual. It’s failures— like its successes—are with us yet. But even those of us to whom 1950 brought only defeats and set-backs can feel the thrilling hope and promise of better things that the New Year brings. Failures there have been—both on the local and the national scene. The world seems to be drifting over nearer the brink of a third global conflict. Medicine, despite promises, seems still a long way from the goal of halting cancer and tuberculosis. But there have been successes also. For some obscure reason, we humans always prefer to look at the gloomy side of any picture rather than the happy side. New trade treaties have been ratified, advances have been made in many fields. For many working men 1950 was the 'new deal* year. More and more firms, each day, are realizing the essential truth in making better working condi­ tions for their employees. These are just a few instances—just enough to show that failure has been accompanied by suc­ cess. The words of some ancient philosopher are still true today. “When a man has tried and failed he has a spur to succeed the next time. When he has tried and succeeded he has a foundation on which to build his castle.” So, as the bells poise to ring out the glad tid­ ings—as the strains of “Auld Lang Syne” float through the air—we pledge this wish to you all: May the New Year bring you every success and happiness that you have desired and worked for. Happy New Yearl Wanted-A Thousand Reporters This being a season of the year sometimes desig­ nated in newspaper circles as "the silly season”, we have re-discovered one of the long-standing newspaper truths.It is simply that little news stories about noth­ ing in particular, are probably about the '"news­ iest” items that can be had. Last week the front page of The Banner carried no less than thirty local stories, counting headed paragraphs and many more were distributed throughout the paper.With no major news happenings scheduled in town, it was obvious from the outset that we would have to get out and dig. Paragraph after paragrah was scraped together until finally we found we had one of the "newsiest” issue* In a long time. People are still dropping in to comment on small items about timothy hay, ducks that lay eggs in trees and other peculiar odds and ends that found their way into print Even the mem­ bers of our own staff diligently perused the col­ umns, enjoying the “silly” season.” That’s why we’re calling on our readers to vol­ unteer as reporters and help us run up the score to a new high when it comes to little items of local news. No question about it it’s the “neigh­ borly” kind of news that we all enjoy. That’s why we're calling for volunteer reporters to send or bring in their small bits of news. We get a lot of satisfaction out of printing them and you will enjoy the paper better for it too—Listowel Ban­ ner.

Price Spiral The thing* is, how long can this go on and where is it going to end? We are referring, of course, to the insidious and increasingly more frequent jumps in price of this, that and the other thing. Not a day goes by but what something else has gone up; perhaps for the second or third time within a year, or even months.,- Ahd'wTuHl winning in this battle of the '“Spiral? Anyone? ------- Take, for example, the recent boost in pay for our railway workers. They’re all patting thorn­ selves on the back for the extra money they're going to get? But are they going to get any extra? The very next day the railways announce that to cover the cost of this pay increase they’re going to have to raise their freight rates. If freight rates go up—again—it means it is agoing to cost more to get such and such a product ~ to the consumer. That means the cost of that product is going up and that means you and I— and the railwayman, with his raise—are going to have to pay more for the things he wants. And on it goes. And where it will stop does any one know? How To Write For The Paper Publishers of weekly newspapers receive hun­ dreds of* items each year for publication. Some of them are well written and present no problems. On the other hand, many others have to be com­ pletely re-written or have to undergo considerable editing. The difficult part of such n task is not the actual work involved of re-writing or editing, but to do the job without causing hard feelings. In­ variably, the items written the most poorly are submitted by those who think that they know ail the answers about writing for the newspaper. Constantly, editors are asked "to publish this news item exactly as it is written.” Very few editors will do so, and consign the items to the waste­ paper basket without taking time to read them because they know that anybody making such a demand has an axe to grind, a grudge to work off and an unbridled sense of his own importance. Even the most experienced-newspapermen on the world’s largest papers have to submit their work for editing. Newspapers want the people of their district to send in stories of the events of the area. In order to aid anyone wishing to do so, a simple rule for preparing a story for the press is contained in a poem by Rudyard Kipling: "I keep six honest serving men, They taught me all I knew; Their names are What and Where and When, And How and Why and Who.” To follow those six pointers accurately with attention to common word usage js the only easy formula when one sits down to "write a piece for • the paper.”—Port Elgin Times.

DAWES OF C A NA D A BREWERY THE R O Y A L BA N K This coming Sunday night, Capt Burton and Lieut. Beach, who havebeen in command of the IngersollCorps of the Salvation Army willfarewell Sunday night General Statement 30th November, 1950 Destiny In Soil The fate of our present civilization hinges largely on what we do about soil conservation in the next few years. This is the warning of G. R. Snyder, agronomist of the agricultural chemicals division of Canadian Industries Limited, who cites the history of China as an example of the part agriculture plays in the destiny of a nation. "This nation”, he says, “‘was once the centre of civilization, but today its extensive acres of bar­ ren soils stand as a constant reminder of what the loss of fertility and productiveness ;wiH do to a nation's well-being. So it has been since time began that each nation prospered only so long as Its agriculture prospered”. Fpr a prosperous agriculture, good land man- ag<m.c«it is a necessity. This means complete utiliz­ ation of all lands for continued maximum pro­ duction. To attain this we must control erosion, conserve water and return to the soil the needed plant food and minerals. Erosion control may be accomplished by con­ tour ploughing, strip cropping, erecting wind breaks and keeping land too steep for cultivation In sod. By terracing and contour cropping, water can be better controlled. Stubble mulching and A Newspaper Problem Much as a newspaper would like to put all/j stories on hand into the current issue, sometimes fhis is not possible and severed items which have been set up in type in good time must be left for the next issue, says a contemporary. The result is the paper is sometimes called up (or down), by rather angry people inquiring why a certain item did not appear although it was brought in several days before. Due to the unpredictable nature of news, no newspaper can foretell exactly what the space situation is going to be until the final deadline arrives.g Publishers have been pondering the problem of Jgetting three columns of type into one column of ’ space for years. In fact, a hoary old joke which has persisted for many decades around printing shops is that someone should have invented rub­ ber type so that the stories could be squeezed in. However, it is generally possible to leave out stories with a "time” factor—the event has hap­ pened some time before or is to take place several weeks In the future. The paper can only make the best selection possible and hope the people concerned in the stories held over will understand the omission was not through oversight, but be­ cause of a production problem.—TillsonburgNews. • t (And to which we say Amen!)

Our moat sincere best wishes A Happy Naw Yeai | Minor Hockey (Ye Puck Chaser) . Last Thursday saw the beginning ofthe first games in the Bantam series In the first tilt the Canadians wallopedthe Red Wings 6 to 2. Bob Lefaive started the scoring forthe Canadiena shortly after the game got under way. The checking wasclose and for a while it looked like atight game. Fred Juett, of the Wings, evened the score at one all from a passof Don Douglas. But then the sharp­ shooting captain of the Canadienascored twice to start the eventual land­slide that won them the game. Scoringthe first goal from Jim Geddie’s passand th»-n scoring clone from the blueline, gave the Canucks a two-goalmargin. Juett, in one of his spectacular plays, scored on the sub-goalie. ChuckPembleton, to make it 3-2. Thain, then Larry Shier, opened up and made it5-2. Thain, in the dying minutes of play, scored again to give the finalscore of 6-2.The three-star selection for the win­ners: 1. Jimmy Thain, 2. Chuck Pemble­ ton. 3. Roger Reeves. Jimmy gets thefirst star for his beautiful passing and scoring ability; Chuck for his effort Inthe nets when the regular goalie failedto show; Roger, for his efforts in stop­ ping the enemy forwards when they did invade his territory.The three-star selection for the losersare: 1. Fred Juett, 2. Bill Chisholm. 3. Wayne McPherson. Fred gets the firststar for his efforts at evening the score; Bill, for his efforts to stop the enemy;and Wayne, for his efforts, considering the little defense his men gave him. Second Game In the second game Thusday, the Leafs defeated the Black Hawks 7-3.Ross “Bunk" Ward of the Leafs scored all seven of the Leaf goals. Twowere set up by Bob Shelton and the others by Bob Camm. Only scorer forthe losers was George Lewis. One of these shots was set up by Terry Olohanand the others George drove in him­ self.The score would probably not havebeen so one-sided had Lewis not re­ ceived a bad bang on the ankle from his own defence.Stars for the winning Leafs were:1 Ross Ward, 2. Bob Shelton. 3. Bob Kimberley. Ross got his star for hisscoring prowess; Bob Shelton, for his checking the ever present Lewis; Kim­berley, for sensational saves when Lewis was threatening.Stars for the losers were: 1. George Lewis. 2. John McLellan, 3. Bob Har­low. George was the big gun for the losers; John, for his many saves thatWard was forever pressing with the puck; Harlow, for the many times heintercepted Ward in his mad dashes,and has the black eye to prove it.Word has come from Walt Leaperof the Kiwanis that the following man­ agers have been annointed: Joe Kurtz-tnan, Jim Pittock, Bud Garton and Earl BaskettThis week the games are as follows: 1. Canadiena vs. Black Hawks.2. Leafs vs. Red Wings. PEE-WEESLast Saturday's scores read: Falcons 1—Wildcats 0Mercurys '5—Spitfires 1 Rockets 2—Eagles 0The Falcons-Wildcats game was a very evenly-matched battle. Bob John­son of the Falcons wns the only scorer, scoring unassisted on Goalie GerryHutson of the Wildcats. Three-star selection for the Falcons:1. Larry Ross, 2. Bob Johnson, 3. GaryWright. Larry and Bob get their stars for their defensive work, and Gary forhis many tries to score. The stars for the losing Wildcatswere: 1. Alan Hinge 2. Gary Delaney, 3. Wayne Sowler. All three get nota­tions for their efforts to control the Falcons and trying to score on thegoalie, Jack Wallace. The second game, between Mercurysand Spitfires, saw more scoring, but was duller than the first Roger Hen-hawke was the big scorer for the Mercurys. The only time the Spitfireswere dangerous was in a voal by Allan Cowell, from Warren Staples. Theother scorer of the Mercurys wasEugene Doyle, on a naw from Bill Henries. Roger completely forgot about his team and could have tied the scorehad he not gone ahead of his team­mates so often over the blue line. Let’s see some more passing, Roger. an<l youcan be a big gun in our visiting ex­ hibition games.The three stars of this same were: Mercurys Spitfires1. Roger Henhawke 1. Len Thomnson 2. David Woolley 2. Jimmy Vvse3. Bill Skinner 3. Warren Staples Roger got his star for the scoring;David, for his checking on defence1 Bill, for his enthusiasm and af-Tcssive-ness on the forward sine.
