When Ingersoll’s 1952 council is sworn into office thiacoming Monday, January 7, it will be precisely 100 years to the very day that Ingersoll’s first council was elected.Ingersoll’s incorporation as a village took effect JanuaryI, 1852, and election of the first council took place the next Monday. The election was held at the Royal Exchange Hotel, where our postoffice now stands, and the following constitutedour first council: John Galliford, reeve, and councillors W. A. Ramsay, Thomas Brown, Charles Parkhurst and James Mur­ dock. The first board of school trustees was elected the fol­lowing day and included Adam Oliver, who became Ingersoll’s first mayor when the community was incorporated as a townsome 13 years later. Thus when taking office the 1952 council will mark an historic occasion. The new council includes: Mayor, Thomas J. Morrison, and Councillors H. W. Fick, Glenn Topham, Mrs.Mildred Mills, Claire Rigby, Don Bower and Tommy Lee. It is likely that the new council, to mark the occasion, may passa resolution of loyalty and respect to the King, and in return,receive the greetings of His Majesty upon the town’s 100thbirthday. In addition, council is due for a surprise Monday eveningas they sit down to deliberate; a ceremony will take place of which councillors at the moment have no knowledge. By Irma Hatt Curds and Whey got a letter this week and we would like to thank thewriter, but he (or she) didn’t sign it.Ignoring that though, and decidingtiiat the red typing was a Ghristmasytouch rather than a warning, wc have decided to be flettered, for the writermust believe that the town fathersread this column. Headed “Snow Comment” (what a pun!) the letterhas Iota of suggestions and advice onstreet-cleaning and snow-shovelling. We fear there may be just a touch ofsarcasm in some of the ideas; othersare very reasonable. Now if the let­ter had just been signed. Curds andWhey, via a reader’s suggestions,might have solved the town’s prob-kms. How about it, Mr. Anonymous? Premier Frost said:It is a pleasure for me to be given opportunity through The Ingersoll Tribune to join with the people of Ingersoll in celebrating the 100th anniversary of your first incorporation.Throughout this grand Province, it is a well accepted fact that our towns and villages reflect the true life of our people. In them, and from them come the people .who have helpedthrough their industry and enterprise, toward progress and development which has been so well defined throughout On­tario. To-day, Ontario in industry, inagriculture, in manu­facturing, is approximately half of the nation. These things reflect back to such matters as your first incorporation as avillage in 1852 when your first Reeve was Mr. John Galliford.The name of Ingersoll came from Mr. James Ingersoll who operated One of your first general stores, and who was Regis­trar of Oxford County from 1834 until 1876 and also post­ master. At the time of your incorporation as a Town in 1864, your first Mayor was a Mr. Oliver.I extend to the people of Ingersoll personal congratula­ tions upon the marking of this anniversary and it is to behoped that the Town of Ingersoll and its citizens will continue to progress and prosper even in a greater measure than that experienced in your first century of incorporation.LESLIE M. FROST, Prime Minister. For the First Election "One Long Street Is Seen By 2 0 5 2 Warden Grant Sutherland, who isalso reeve of East Missouri, said:“As warden of Oxford, the bannercounty, it is a privilege to extend to the town of Ingersoll best wishes onits 100th anniversary. The nameIngersoll is known ftrr-.and wide, and I know all my colleagues andthe people .we represent will want towish Ingersoll all the best for the future.” .Chairman Percy Elg>e, Thames-ford: "Best wishes from all of us atThamesford, Western Ontario’s moreprogressive community.”Reeve H. P. Dunn of North Ox­ford, said: ‘‘As Reeve of the Town­ship of North Oxford, I wish to con­ gratulate thp Town of Ingersoll onits 100th anniversary and the Mayorand Councillors on their election to office for 1962.“Numerous problems will arise no doubt. No. 1 problem will be the consideration of a new High Schoolfor the Ingersoll District. It is my sincere wish that we all co-operatewith the High School Area Board toerect a school second to none in the Province of Ontario, before circum­stances arise that might cause divis­ion of the Area.”Gordon A. Marshall, reeve ofWest Zorra, wrote: “On behalf ofthe Township of West Zorra, Iwould like to extend to your com­munity of Ingersoll, our heartiest congratulations on this your 100thbirthday anniversary. May theyears that lie ahead be as fruitful us those in the past.”The message of Tom Dent, M.L.A.,for Oxford, said: "It is with realpleasure that d extend to the pro­gressive community of Ingersoll very best wishes upon its 100th birthday.May the next 100 years be evengreater ones for the community and its people.”Noting that the great Canadianheroine from which the firm took itsname, had lived in Ingersoll as agirl, John D. Hayes, president ofLaura Secord Candy Shops Ltd., saidthe companf was the largest of itskind in the British Empire. “Fromsmall beginnings, In the little shopon Yonge street, in Toronto, thecompany now has 110 shops through­out Ontario: and Quebec, and hun­dreds of exclusive agencies through­ out Canada, always operating on ourtradition of high quality and neigh­borliness. Happy birthday. Inger­ soll.”Mr. Frank Woolley, manager of the Bank of Montreal here, notedthat the Bank i of Montreal had been serving—with pride—Ingersoll anddistrict for many of the commun­ities 100 years. “In sending greet­ ings, Bank of Montreal is confidentthat Ingersoll’s growth and pros­perity in the past 100 years will beeven excelled ,in the next century,"said Mr. Woolley. Mayor K. H. Anderson of Tillson.-burg, said it was a great pleasurefor the county’s only other town toextend best wishes to Ingersoll, onthe town’s 100th birthday. He fore­ cast a great future, not only for Ing­ersoll and Tillsonburg, but all thepeople within the county. J. R. Henley, manager of theImperial Bank, noting that theywere the first bank here, said Im­perial 'Bank was proud to haveshared in the community's develop­ ment and prosperity, and wished thetown all the very best for the fu­ture. He observed that the presidentof the bank was a former Ingersollman, Mr. I. K. Johnson. Reeve Harry Little of Doreham and Reeve Thomas Pellow of WestZorra, sent many happy returns tothe town, and expressed the wish that their present happy neighborli­ness would mean even happier andmore prosperous years ahead for all.

There areonly a few families left whosegrandparents were pioneers ofthose-early days.Then, about every other door was an hotel or livery barn.

An early ex­porter was Edwin Caswell, who crossed the ocean 55 times in theinterests of the cheese industry, a ,few trips being made while Inger­ soll was a village, but most of themafter the establishment of co-oper­ative factories, which began in theIngersoll district in 1865.Four years after Ingersoll becamea village, a disastrous fire burned out the main business block. Thiswas on the north side of King streeteast between Water and Mill streets, and the following year, 1857, Ii^er-sollville received almost continent­wide advertising through the Village Pond Hoax, “Whet’s in the Pond?"Tlie pond known as the Village Pond>vos between King and Canterbury streets. It has been known as Mem-L orial Park for several years.[ -The community that became Ing­ersoll was founded (by Thomas Ing-; er so 11, who moved into this choice! section of Canada West on the ad- • vice of his good friend, the famedIndian chief, Joseph Brant. Inger­soll came in with other settlers in1793, and Mr. Ingersoll personallyfelled the tree from (which he erect­ed his log home where the PublicUtilities office now stands.Later, however, Mr. Ingersoll’s’ grant of 66,000 acres in this areawas cancelled, as a result of a dis-! pute over the settlers he was bring- r ing in, and he moved to the mouth’ of the Credit river, where Port Credit now stands. Among members; of his family with him in Ingersoll' was Laura, who as Laura Secord has . become one of Canada’s heroines.In 1817., Thomas Ingersoll’s eldest’ son, Charles returned to Ingersoll, ; accompanied by another son, James,> and together built up the comnuin-* ity, having a share in many interests.. Charles named the village after his’ father, and in 1821 became the > community’s first postmaster. His’ brother, James, first white child to r be born in Ingersoll, /became regis- trap and held the post for 52 years.Charles arid a son, Thomas, died in’ a cholera epidemic in 1832.' When Ingersoll became an incor: porated village, its papulation wasc about 1190, and ita acreage 1,772.' with 725 acres in North Oxford and’ 1,047 in West Oxford. . In 1852—100 years ago—Inger- ;soli became a village. At that time ]there were 175 names on the village (directory. All did not have the right jlo vote for members of the firstVillage Council as this privilege was .for freeholders only, at that time.The election for the first village; ,council took place on Monday, Jan. 5, 1852, and is said to have beenhotly contested. W. A. Ramsay, aleading foundryman, headed thepolls by securing 97 votes. Theelectioh was held in the Royal Ex­change Hotel, operated at the timeby John Patterson. The Royal Ex­change Hotel stood where Che pres­ent Post Office, erected in ' 1898, now stands.The hotel was destroyed in theI great fire of 1872, which started ini the stable at the rear of this hotelI on the 8th of' May at 7 o’clock in theevening, and raged until 11.00 service o'clock. The hotel was among the” 1 first of 80 establishments to becomeZ____■. The stablewhere the fire started was located on the southeast corner of Charles andOxford ‘Streets.Possibly the fact the election was held in the Royal (Exchange was be­cause it was one of the most up-to-date hotels in the village. It oper­ ated one of the first omnibuses toand from the Great Western Rail­road station which iwas erected in1854, the year this railroad was builtthrough Ingersoll. The returningofficer for the first election wasJames McDonald, the merchant. There must have been others by thesame name.Lord Elgin (was Governor General at the time Ingersoll became a mun­icipality with legal status, a villagewith a council, his term of offiedbeing from 1846 to 1854. He touredthis section of Oxford county onhorseback in 1849. On his journeyfrom Ingersoll to the place nowknown as Tillsonburg, he dismounted at Dereham Heights and spent somehours with the pioneers of that,place. They were so pleased with hisappearance and mannerly bearing,that they changed the name of thesettlement to Mt, Elgin. While muchdiscussion was 'taking place aboutIngersoll having an election and be­ coming a village, Lord Elgin againpassed through the settlement, thistime via the river, in a small steam boat called the “Mohawk”. He con­tinued on to Sarnia. Prosperity Permeated The Area By 1852 there were many mer- ■ chants in Ingersoll and business wasi brisk by barter. The first store was. opened by James Ingersoll, son of the founder of the community, in1822. James was 21 years of age atthe time. John Patterson, innkeeper,and a man of good financial reputa­tion, joined with Adam Oliver, a large buyer and exporter of lumber as well as a builder, and later Ing­ersoll’s first mayor, to accept a con­ tract to build a freight shed, 3000feet long, near tho SuspensionBridge, Niagara District. ' The con­tract was for $40,000. The shedwas completed in the early 1850’s. The Adam Oliver home, a brickdwelling, erected about the time Ing­ersoll became a village, still standson the south-west corner of Johnand Victoria streets. His lumber yard covered the block west of theresidence. Great quantities of lum­ber iwere teamed from the southover the IngersollsPort Burwellplank and graved road to Ingersoll.

But the really in­ teresting fact is this—Leap Year ishere again. Yes, this is it, gals andany eligible males who are not in aneligible frame of mind; had betterthink uD some good excuses. “Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse”, was not true in atleast one Ingersoll household on Christmas eve. A mouse WAS Stir­ling. What is more, he was stirring,whether he knew it or not, with the blessings and good wishes of thehouseholders. It seems that theywere in the midst of setting the trap when the Christmas spirit overcamd*them and they decided that even amouse was entitled to a Christmas dinner. The juicy morsel of our bestOxford cheese was left in place—butthe trap was not set. However, itwas also an “eat and be marry” din­ner for the little creature. Next night the spirit was gone—the trapwas set—and that is the end of thatstory. But—there’s another mouse,and another story. This mouse hadhis Christmas party and if it hadn’tbeen for a blown out fuse in a stove,might still have been celebrating.When the electrician came to do the repairs, he found, carefully hiddenaway, a go^d-sized candy cane-end alittle pile of rock candy.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1952 Our Birthday When Ingersoll’s 1952 council meets this coming Monday, January 7, it will be precisely 100 years to the very day that Ingersoll’s first governing body was elected. While Thomas Ingersoll first moved in to found the community in 1793, it wasn’t until January, 1852, that the community was incorporated as the .village of Ingersoll, and on Monday, January 5, that the first “council” headed by a reeve, was elected. It is not every community that is able to cele­ brate 100 years of incorporation, certainly not in the “young” country of Canada, and Ingersoll this Monday joins a select group, indeed. Both Prime Minister Louis S. St Laurent and Premier Leslie M. Frost of Ontario, among others, have seen fit to greet the community upon its centennial. The surrounding communities, too, have joined in wishing our town well, and all prosperity in the future. Much has happened in t^at 100 years; much more is surely bound to iiappen in the next 100 years for Canada right now is on the verge of mighty nationhood. Ir.;ersoH should—can share in these great developments, (but she must herself put her best foot forward. T’-at “she” means every one of us—an interested, united community. As we enter our seco: J century as an incorpor­ ated community, let us determine to make Inger­ soll a better place in which to play, work and live; a place that will invite settlement by new people and new industry, to our mutual advantage. Let us work together, and with our surrounding friendly neighbors* for with such co-operation life can’t help but be bettered for ourselves, our prov­ ince and our country. We of Ingersoll are being extended felicitations and (best wishes upon this historic occasion; let us, at the same time, dedicate ourselves to announcing and proving to the world that Ingersoll has every­ thing, and invite the world to beat a path to our door. Britches too Small We would like to add our voice to the growing chorus of disapproval against Ottawa’s removal of the word “dominion” from our country’s name. The government seems to be suffering a terrible inferiority complex: they’re apparently scared skinny the world at large will consider us still tied to our mother's apron strings, and won’t recognize us for the great being in our own right that we really Eure. The word “dominion’’, it is felt, sug- VERSCHOYLE By Mr*. Norman Routledge (Delayed by Christmas mail) The annual Verschoyle Christmas concert was held at the school Wed­nesday evening. Everett Bowman acted as chairman. The entertain­ment opened with three choruses bythe school. The senior girls acted in a dialogue, “The Anti-Gossip Club”,and some junior girls sang, withrocking chairs, dolls and cradles to make the number complete. Rose­mary McKibbin gave a recitation followed by Grade n boys, “Mince■Pie For Christmas.” A number ofgirls presented a song and dancenumber, “All the (Nice Girls Love aSailor,” featuring* Joyce Ellery tan dancing, * A dialogue, “The SickChild”, ,wa« followed by another tap dance number by Joyce Ellery. An- subordination, and tinea The Ingereoll Tribune, Thursday, January 3, 1952subordinate 11To us, the title “Dominion of Cashda”, soundsa very re* pec tab I* one. But no matter what ourofficial name, we will be regarded by our fellownations on the basis of what we accomiplish, at home and abroad, in our own Interests ana in the interests of the world at large. We’re not upset at the world thinking we have a link with Britain; we’re proud of it No nation has 'a'greaterVname. We’re inclined to think that all thia ’ultra­ nationalism is being promoted by our French- Canadian brothers, who refuse to recognise gny ties between Britain and Canada, and certainly no particular reason for loyalty to her. Personally?" we’d be proud to be considered even a poor rela­ tion of a country to which the world owes so 11 much. Perhaps we’re like the smart young buck who figures he knows all and more that his parents ever knew, and can hardly wait to get out on his own, and ahopr what a smart apple he really is. As we said before, no matter our country’s title, we will be regarded strictly on the basis of our efforts and our accomplishments. We’re quite happy to be part of “The Dominion of Canada”, and send our letters and -parcels by “Royal Mail.” Notes on the Editor's Pad The other evening a well-known Ingersoll lady was out visiting and as she went to drive home, she spotted a lovely gray cat She commented to friends what an amazing thing it was, that her cat could follow her all the way from home, and she driving, too. So she called the cat, which came bounding over, bundled it into her car and took it home. She recounted to her husband this won­ derful bit of navigation on the part of the cat and he was a bit dubious, but took it downstairs and put "Flopsy”, out with their other cat Next morning, however, this gentleman went down to discover TWO “Flotpsies”; his wife innocently enough, had been a cat-napper. He pushed it into his car, and (whisked over to where his wife had been visiting, and let the pussy out there. The cat apparently had a -wonderful time. We know—it was ours. What Other* S ay: All Locations Good Every week we get a request from some indiv­ idual or Organization to “please put this story on the front page where people will see it” This strikes us as being rather funny. You see, the average reader, particularly in a weekly paper, covers the whole paper. As a matter of fact he usually glances casually at the front page, turns to the locals or the sports and then slowly makes his way back to the front page. You cannot “bury” an item in a weekly because the reader will search it out wherever it may be. Frankly, we have always felt that every page in the paper is the front page. It is different in a large city where the world news is generally carried on page one. There the reader interest is focused on the front page. In a weekly newspaper like The Conservator every page carries an array of local items. The front page, of course, is the “show window” of any newspaper. We put many of the newsiest item* on the front page, but by no means all ofthem. It consistently amazes us how stories on the front page are often missed by some of the read­ ers while some little item sandwiched in one of the inner pages will be read always. It is better, therefore, to say, give this story a good qpot”, rather than “put it on the front page.”—(Brampton Conservator.) -Jt other dialogue, “The Concert Party”, was given and then a short address by the chairman. A’short skit was presented, followed by a square dance, with music by Clifford Hay­cock and his “Hooser Hotshots.”“The Little Grandparents," was thename of the drill by some juniors,and then Ronnie McKibbin gave a rectation, “The Twenty Sixth”. Theclosing numbers included a tableau,“The Star of Bethlehem”, and choral speaking by the senior pupils,"’Twas the Night Before Christ­ mas.” Mr. Bowman thanked theschool teachers, IMiss Mary Shelton,and Miss Anne Clark for their timeand work in preparing the evening’sentertainment.

But you’ve come such a long way that the time’s gone quickly for us old-timers. You were a fast-moving community as far back as those halcyon horse-and-buggy days of 1868 . . when the office that’s now your Bank of Mon­ treal first opened. Seemed like everybody was thinking up new ways to promote the dairy and cheese-making indus­ tries in those times - - up to and including the 7,000-pound cheese you bowled the world over with, two years beforehand I Ba n k o f M o n t r e a l Remember, too, how we pulled double-harness from the first? Why, the bank's first manager here,. C. H. Sorley, later became your mayor. And the managers who followed him havq all taken active part in community life. So it's as an old friend - - as well as a fellow­ centenarian - - that the Bank of Montreal salutes you, Ingersoll. On this, the hundredth anniversary pf your incorporation, we extend our sincere congratulations on a century of impressive de­ velopment.

Our association has been an interesting and pleasantone, for it was Mr. and Mrs. Ingersoll, the parents of Canada’s greatest heroine, Laura Ingersoll Secord who founded the community of Ingersoll. Before the first, little Laura Secord Candy Shop was opened her name was chosen, riot only to perpetuate her memory, but also as a demonstration of an Ideal which has made Laura Secord Candies famous throughput North America, and a business that ul­ timately has grown to be the largest of its kind in the British Empire. From this Ideal it was determined that Laura Secord Candies, should be the freshest, and of the most superior quality that fine foods and skill could pro­ vide. Also, they should be sold in an atmosphere of friendliness from a neighbourhood shop to neigh­bours. Today the daintily distinctive Laura Secord Candy Shops have come to be familiar landmarks in many Canadian neighbourhoods. We are proud of our association with Ingersoll and today, with many others, we say in full apprecia­ tion— ■ Ingersoll we salute you!!
