@he i l n ^c r s o l l t r i b u n ePublished in Ingersoll for Ingersoll and Its Friendly Neighbours12 Pages Ingersoll, Ontario, Thursday, May 8,1952 Five Cents H E A V Y TRUCKS TO SKIP INGERSOLL Go ve rnor’s Road Seen N e w Route Meet the Queen of the May and Her Court The Governor’s Road between Woodstock and Thames- ford is going to be put into shape to handle heavy transporttraffic presently pounding the life out of Ingersoll’s narrow highway. This was disclosed to town council Monday night by ByronJenvey, Ingersoll representative on the suburban roads com mission. He said the provincial government is planning actionon the project shortly, and it would mean a lot of through transport traffic would henceforth by-pass Ingersoll, and ease the traffic and road maintenaftce problems of the town. Fix Hamilton Road Byron. Jenvey, reappointed townmember of the suburban roads com mission, gave an account of his stewardship and Uie commission's activities during his 5-year term justconcluded. Expenditures had risen from some $3,UOO five years ago,with a town share of some $770, to$13,500 for 1952, and a town share $2200. Ln the last five years,some $30,000 had b.een spent, hesaid, and Ingersoll had contributedsome $6000.Among things planned by thecommission, -was re-surfacing of theHamilton road, to the Middlesex boundary, with a 2*4-3 inch surface, "which we hope will stand for 10years without further repairs.'Arrangements were being made to have the job started as soon aspossible. Some $800 will be spenton the Culloden road, he said."Very shortly", he disclosed, “theGovernor’s Read, between Thames-ford and Woodstock will be put inshape to handle transport traffic, and this will ease Ingersoll’s trafficsituation. I heard the minister himselfsay that they hope to get at thisproject as soon as possible.”Mr. Jenvey said No. 19 highwaywas going to be widened 17 feet onon either side, making a total width of 104 feet. The (Widening meanscutting off the verandahs of somehouses between here and Salford, even means some houses might haveto be moved back, he said. It willcome awfully close to Harris Streetcemetery, but a new wall, it is hoped, wiU protect it. Appraiser* Busy The appraisers and surveyors have been hard at work in connection with the widening, he said. Mr. Jenvey said it was possible, too, thatthe highways department mightwant'Harris St. improved, as themain conecting link between No. 19highway and No. 2. This seemed to offer no obstacles, except that apioneer cemetery stood on the northwest corner of King and Harris streets. Sixty years ago, he said, hecould recall rows of tombstones, butwhere they have gone to now is amystery.A lot of curves on No. 19 were tobe removed, he said, and it [wasthought that the 18-feet of pave ment would have three feet added oneither side. It was all adding up tothe indication No. 19 would be a main connecting link between No. 3highway and the new superhighway, and No. 2 highway.Mr. Jenvey said highway checks at the west entrance of Ingersoll showed an average of 7,344 vehiclespassing daily, which jwas "far toomuch for the narrow streets of Ingersoll.”Mrs. Helen Luno, whose home ntthe southern entrance to Ingersoll ispartly in West Oxford and partly in Ingersoll, wondered if they wouldbe forced to pay twice for the highway improvements because of that fact. She disclosed that [while they didn’t think it was very much money,they had been paid by the highwaysdepartment $15 for a strip of land 17 feet wide end 320* feet long,fronting on the highway. Asked why they had accepted the $15, she saidthe agent had said if she didn’t wantthe $15, they could take it overanyway. So she signed. Mayor Morrison said he couldn’t understandland within the town being surveyed or purchased for such a highwaysproject without the town first beingnotified. And they had no such word. Garbage DiscussedMr. Joe Griffiths, of the OxfordCounty Health Unit, compared the relative merits of a municipal garbage collection system such as in effect at Tillsonburg, and the contract system operating in Ingersoll. Mr.Griffiths said he thought a municipal system, whereby everyone paidthrough taxes, would be cheaper, andin addition would make everyonehave his garbage and refuse collected. It would get the people whodon't pay to have their garbage re moved, and instead, dump it at the%ide of the road, or any place thatcomes handy, making both a mess and an unsightly, unsanitary situation.“It is too bad people don’t have thesense of responsibility they should have,” he said.However, Mr. Griffiths declared, the two garbage collectors in town,Awcock and Cotterell, seemed to bedoing a satisfactory job, and thehealth unit had been after them tocover their loads with tarpaulins to remove what appeared to be themain point of criticism—the scattering (by the wind) of garbage and papers along the streets and countryside as the trucks ran their loadsout to the town dump. Both men had pledged to do so, he said. MayorMorrison noted that garbage collection here was done under licence fromthe town, and if the collecting wasnot satisfactory, the licences wouldn't be granted.Mr. Griffiths said the dump wasnow in satisfactory condition, and heurged other citizens to cooperate in keeping it so.Get $1,665 BackMayor Morrison and Town ClerkElmer Winlaw said the consistent ob jection to a municipal system herehad been the comparative vastnessof the area over which Ingersoll stretched, and each person would expect—and be entitled to—service.This might make the cost higher.L^K, Coles, county clerk, notifiedcouncil that A.D. Robinson had been re-appointed to the suburban roadscommission. Corp. John McGetrickforwarded an application from the Stouffville branch, Canadian Legion,asking permission to sell tickets inIqgersoll on a draw. Council decidedto ignore the request, noting thatsuch activities were illegal in thestrict sense of the word.Upon a i-equest from Keystone Rebekah Lodge, under the signature of of Mrs. M. Tuttle, council rebated$10 town hall rental, and did thesame for Branch 119, Canadian Le gion. G. M. Calder, of the Bell Telephone Co., said one of their cableshad been damaged by the town tractor while unsightly shrubbery wasbeing removed from the Charles Stentrance, and it was in the hands of the insurance adjusters.Town Clerk Elmer Winlaw read a note from Queen’s Park staging an (Continued on page 12) Left to right: Elnora Hunt, May Queen attendant; Peggy Hopkins, Queen of the May; Doreen Lambert, Lord ofthe May, and Shirley Daniel, her attendant. ■ Gets His Practice In Smith’s Pond Then Wins Medal Toning himself up with last-minute practices in Smith’s Potyi, Larry Ross, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.

Tw o Deer Battle For Lives In M ud Red Shield Drive For Funds Launched Headed by Daniel The Red Shield drive in Ingersolland district got officially under wayTuesday morning, following a campaign dinner for workers and can-ivassers in the Citadel Monday night. ’ The objective is $4600.K. R. Daniel, chairman of the campaign, presided. He was introduced by Copt. Ron Ellsworth, of the localcorps, Salvation Army, and he inturn introduced the other members of the campaign committee, includingFrank Woolley, Alex Yule and H. I.Stewart -J!r. Daniel told of the great workof the Salvation Army, not onlygenerally, but in this area, and he urged everyone to back the drive forfunds and make it the success it hasbeen the past few year?. Senior Major Frank Moulton, ofLondon, was guest speaker. He wasaccompanied to the meeting by his wife. The life-or-death struggle of twodeer in what is said to be quicksand just outside of town was witnessedby two local men over the week-end.The two deer were grazing peacefully at the edge of the large pond(at that time drained) across fromthe road from the town pumping station and' reservoir out the Hamiltonroad.Suddenly two youngsters appearedon the scene, frightening the animals. They fled across the pond bottomonly to sink up to their bellies inmud. According to one of the witnesses,the animals took at least 15 minutesto get across the treacherous area, and for a time it was not certain theywould make it. They’d take severalleaps, then rest on the mud, then struggle on again. The animals were virtually exhausted when they reached the other side, The Tribune was informed, but getting their secondwind, vanished. CURDS and WHEY By Irena Hutt Stokes Bay, familiar holiday and fishing 8pot to many in Ingersoll washardest hit by that strange "tidal wave” that swamped Lake Huronshores on Sunday. It is strange toimagine that peaceful stream whichmeanders through the village (wenever even heard it called a river before) so flooded that it could sweepout a bridge and toss * big fishingboat up on the remaining pilings.The tide took out the bridge to Tam arack Island at Stokes too. Justthink if we had gone to Tamarack onSunda/as we sort of planned, wemight have been marooned! AndTamarack certainly rates in ourbooks as the place we’d most like tobe marooned. Especially with the fishing season just starting. The boys in the back shop reportthat when they went for their afternoon coffee on Tuesday, the odorthat greeted them was definitely notcoffee.

I Mr. Bowman said a’^arently there had been a misinterpretation of thegovernment’s new policy concerning assessment of public utilities, and anew assessment had been carried out bv J. P. Coomhe, which reduced boththe assessment and the new taxes the PUC must «ay considerably. A satis-.factory agreement between the town|and the PUC had been reached, and When Mr. Jim Stannard, HallStreet decided he did not have the time to work his garden this year, hesoon found some very willing gardeners to take it over — hi8 son Bob and two of his 12 and 13-year-oldfriends, Jon Pellow and Ross Holmes.These ardent young agriculturalistshave already learned some of thewoes of gardening. Some of theirvegetables were washed out in therain last week-end and had to be re planted. They will likely have othertroubles too, but also a lot of fun anda worthwhile summer hobby, And besides, there is a big brother whorashly made a bet that they wouldtire of their bargain and he must beproven wrong. The Condos-Tatoulis wedding at St. James’ Anglican church last Wednesday was the first of the Greek-Orthodox Church that we have seen and we came away sincerely impressed by its beauty. We understand that the ceremony which unitedthese two popular' young Ingersollpeople, of Greek parentage, is essentially the same aa it has been for centuries. Though it was entirely inthe Greek language, the age-old symbolism of the Holy Trinity was evident The rings were thrice exchanged, the crowns too; in fact eachpart of the service was repeatedthree times. These old-world customs are contributing to our Canadian culture. 1 dro or water rates would be necessitated.

As crown attorney for Oxford, Mr. McKay was as well-known/ and as much respected here as anywhere, he'will be missed by his many, many friends in Ingersoll and surrounding district He was a splendid symbol of the dignity and the fairness of the law he represented and upheld. Neat, quiet and fair, he was deeply respected by those on the side of the law and those who sinned against it Craig McKay will be a hard man to replace. modity in that semi-tropical climate in a daywhen refrigeration was all but unknown, had to betransported from the distant’ mountains at greatexpense, and a piece no larger than a cube ofnugar, was used to cool the wine. The newly commissioned officer, served first, took his share in thetongs, hesitated in an agony of indecision, then dropped it into his soup. The colonel, his expression changing by not so much as a flicker, casually dropped his also in his soup. So, in turn, did each member of the mess. In all probability, this tale is apocryphal; but one would like to think it true. For he must (be indeed insenate who feels no quickening response to a truly courteous act. Manners, even morals, may differ In various parts of the world. When dining in Japan, a guest’s resonant belch is a high compliment to his host, and as Kipling says, The wildest dreams of Kew are the facta of Khatmandhu And the crimes of Clapham chaste at Mar taban. Yet, though any single act may be open to dif ferent construction according to changes in geog raphy and tradition, a basic sense of mortality is common to all humanity. In the abstract, the philosophic recognition of the existence of Right us the antithesis of Wrong, however diverse may be the practical interpretation in the concrete, the stirring of conscience which follows close on the heels of an unworthy action, is the primary qual ity which raises man above the level of the brute. Thus we may assume that the instinct toward courteous behaviour is inherent in the human psyche, being based upon an intellectual awareness of a duty owed to one’s fellow men, and, as Goethe put it, “There is no outward sign of true courtesy that does not rest on a deep moral foun dation." Consideration of the rights, and, especially, of the feelings, of others is the sine qua non of our modem epoch, an epoch in which our houses crowd one upon another, our cars follow the highway often bumper to bumper, and our (work brings us into closest contact with our fellows. Forfeiting this consideration, we shall descend to the chaos and* the insecurity of the jungle. Indeed, courtesy can be regarded as the oil which keeps our com plex social machinery from seizing, for in its essence it is the quality which prevents the frict ion occasioned by one personality in contact with another from becoming unbearable. To no one is this trait a greater requisite than to the driver of a car. The intelligence to reco gnize the rights of a pedestrian, or of another motorist, and the patience gracefully to yield him these, may define the interval between life and dehth. The sacrifice of a few seconds of time, the curbing of a moment’s irritation, are surely little enough to pay when viewed in the light of this consideration. The ultimate .beauty of a considerate deed lies in the fact that it confers quite as much satisfac tion upon the donor as upon the recipient. Who can deny the glow of pleasure he feels when his gracious act is acknowledged, be this by no more than a nod and a smiley and he who has been the object of thoughtfulness, will he not be eager to repay his debt in kind at his earliest opportunity? Thus a chain reaction is set off whereby one trivial kindness may result in brightening the day for a multitude.— (Ontario Highways Bulletin.) W hat Others Say: Courtesy During one of those frequent but now forgotten punitive campaigns which were the price of empire at the century’s turn, an N.C.O., so the ■tory goes, was commissioned for exceptional gallantry in action. At his first dinner in the offi cers’ mess, self-conscious and embarrassed, he was seated on the colonel’s right. Ice, a precious com Last Call... Frankly, we still think it’s a shame that our 100th birthday is going to pass by without any Centenary Celebration or observance of some sort. A centenary is a real occasion, worthy of some recognition. It is an occasion that will not come again (within the life span of any one of us here today, unless some magic drug is discovered to give unheard-of longevity. Throughout the. country one hears of other communities preparing to celebrate their centenary or similar occasion—Elgin County, Listowel, God erich, to name but a few. But apparently we haven’t got enough zip or interest to sponsor one of our own. Councilllor Don Bower, at a recent meeting of council, suggested the town should take steps to promote itself, and he mentioned perhaps an in dustrial fair. Our logical promotion scheme is a centennial celebration, whether one day or four. Recently Woodstock announced big plans for a celebration next year. It is to be a county-wide program, but nowhere was there mention of Ing ersoll. The thought was if we couldn’t run our own show perhaps we could tie in with the county show. If we don’t get a little more pride-otf-com- munity spirit, we’ll miss the boat on that one too. LAID TO REST ARTHUR D. LOVE Funeral services were held in Edmonton May 1 for Arthur D.

But how long will the glamor last? How soon will it bo rubbed off? When, if ever, will the practical—and none in sport more so—horse folk remark scornfully: “How did THAT thing ever come to win the Derby?” Never, perhaps. This winner may move on to equal the greatness of some others who triumphed in the Run forthe Roses. But we recall a Derby winner who never had greatness before,and never afterward. His brief moment of glory came that May afternoon of 1933, when in the final 100 yard8 of the ChurchillDowns stretch, two horses thundered towards the wire urged bytheir two frantic jockeys. One—and his glory too later faded offinto sheer disgrace—was Donald Meade, riding Broker’s Tip, next to the rail, executing one of the tricks that led to his disbarment.He had a grip on the saddle cloth of the other horse, Head Play,ridden by Herbie Fisher. A* the horses neared the finish, spectators saw Fisher strikeMeade with hi* bat a* he sought to shake Meade lo4se from the clinging grip on his saddle-cloth. They were still almost inseparable a* they tore past the post. The judges saw Broker’s Tip’s nose in front. There was a tremendous roar from the 35,000 Kentuckian* present, for a Bradley horse had won the fourth Derby for his owner, and the winner’s share of $48,925. It was one of the most thrilling finishes in Derby history and one of the most talked about. The winner was a great horse that day as thousands sang his praises, and columns of print glori fied his quality. But the sudden glory faded fast. When Broker’s Tip won that Derby, he was a “maiden”. He had never won a race. He wa* the second maiden in history to have won the classic, the Canadian-owned Sir Barton having preceded him. Sir Barton racing for the late Commander J. K. L. Roas wenton to become a famous racer; but Broker’s Tip went on to become aflop. One week after the Derby he raced Head Play and others in the Preakness, another $50,000 stake. Head Play won; but Broker's Tip, the great horse of the week before, ran absolutely last. In fact, he never won a race again. When retired to the breeding farm, he apparently was a failure there. And a few vears later,the horse that won $48,000 that May afternoon, was sold for a mere $1,400 and completely disappeared from view.Sic transit gloria. Perhaps we’re laying too much stress on the glories of * Derby' which really isn’t a Derby at all, in the truest sense of the word. It’s a weak imitation of the daddy of all derbies, the English race, which is at a mile and a half, a quarter-mile longey than the Amer ican race. The Belmont Stakes is the nearest replica on this side of the Atlantic to the Epsom Down* race, being also at a mile and a half, for three year old*.

Much of the landtoo wet for all regular crops can beartificially drained by ditches, tileor a combination of both. Thispractice has tiwo advantages. It makes much fertile land very productive and by draining away sur plus water in the topsoil provides astorage space for water when snowmelts or rain is heavy. JThis helpsregulate the flow in streams. Sometimes It is not good/to drain because there is no outlet, the landis too stony or not fertile enoughto make it worth while, or concentrating water in a ditch makes localflood conditions. In such areas it iswise to grow trees or crops whichare profitable and suitable to wetconditions. Slopes that could be worked withhorses are often too steep for trac tors. They are now better plantedin trees or, if some bush exists, al lowed to grow back naturally. Similarly, in stony areas it may not nowbe worth while to pick up the stonesas it was years ago and they inter- How“Skinny”Girls fiet Lovely Curves Gain 5 to 10 lbs. New Pep fere with modem methods of cul tivation. There too, woodland wouldbe a better use of the fend. All the rest of the ills of theland have been caused by the use we have made of it since the originalforest cover was removed. They are (1) loss of fertility, (2) loss ofhumus, (3) erosion, (4) compaction (loss of tilth) and (5) increased risk of drought. (1) Fertility It is the nature of our soils tohave soluble mineral plant foodswashed out of them by excessmoisture. As long as trees coveredthe land, deep roots would penetrateand recapture much of the plantfood, and as the leaves fell, or thetrees rotted they were replaced onthe surface of the soil. Under heavycropping much of the nitrogen,phosphates, potash, calcium, magnesium and “trace elements” areremoved in the form of grain, corn,■crass, milk, beef, eggs and baconand other produce. The soil thusloses its fertility. This can be seenbv noting the poor crop response or more accurately by chemical soiltests of sample of soil. (2) Humus It is the humus we noted before,that gives the peculiar quality to topsoil. When the soil is kept loosefor cultivation air gets in and gradually the humus is burnt up. Thisloss can be measured by chemicaltests, but is obvious in a general sortof way in the poor condition of thetopsoil. (3) Eroiion When the protective cover of trees or grass is removed and thesoil opened up, the rain is able towash the topsoil, and even the sub. Tantrums In ■ child of two Maha parents wonder what to do. Firm but kindly wpanrtsloa Is the only wise decision. po*t. *1 W«Kwul Heokh WeirtO soil, away in to the hollows and thestreams. On light land the windcan blow the soil away. The poorlooking crops on knolls and slopesshow where erosion has occurred. Sometimes we see the soil wash inthe hollows or piled up again fencerows. In its worst form, erosionshows up as rills, gullies or “blowholes.” The amount of erosion can be measured more accurately bycomparing the soil profile in aneroded spot with one on unused, level land. (4) Compaction The natural topsoil is loose andcrumbly. The sub-soil has the “nut”structure we described before. Pres sure from the plough, the weight ofimplemnts, trampling by cattle andthe beating force of rain all tendto destroy the crumbly and nuttystructure. The loss of humus makes the condition worse. When soil iscompacted it does not form as gooda seed bed, it does not let roots pen etrate easily and it cannot absorbwater so readily as soil in goodtilth.(5) Drought The droughtiness of the soil isthe result of lose of humus, erosionand compaction. The more the humus can be restored and water made to go into the soil rather than runover it and wash it way, the lesswill be the risk of drought. The Remodiet (1) Fertility There are two ways to restore loss of fertility. One is to use crop rotations including deep-rooted plants like alfalfa to bring up plant foodfrom deep levels and to avoid continually drawing from one level. In cluded in the rotations there shouldbe legumes (clovers, alfalfas, peas,beans and soybeans), which change nitrogen of the air into a form useful to plants.The other remedy is to add mineral plant foods, particularly nitrates, phosphates and potash, to the soil. This not only keeps up yieldsof crops but makes for moregrowth so that more humus is added to the soil. (2) Humus Humus may be added to the soilin the form of barnyard manure orcompost Waste like straw or corn stover can be ploughed into the soilbut when this is done nitrates shouldbe added because they are necessary to the microbes which break downthe waste matter.-Humus can also be added byploughing down green manure crope,particularly the legumes. Rye is commonly used for this purpose,especially where tobacco is grown.Stands of hay or pasture help tobuild up humus from decaying roots,and leaves which lie close to theground. (3) Erosion Soil can be protected from erosionby keeping grass or trees on it per manently. If this is done, the grass- land or woodland should be lookedafter to give the greateat return ofgrass and tree* both for their useand for the benefit they give to theland.Any practice which helpa build uphumus will check erosion, for soilwith a good humus content can takein and hold rainfall better.There air mechanical ways ofchecking erosion by special means oftillage. Among them are “contourploughing” or working along thelevel so that each furrow or drill rowacts us a little dam. There in also amethod of planting crop# in alternatestrips of dose-growing crops (grass and clover) with crops which exposethe soil, grain and hoe crops. Thestrips are laid out on the contour. Aspecial device iB to build terracesacross the slopes. These are broadshallow ditches which catch the waterflowing overland and make it go intothe ground and carry the extra flowsafely away to a natural waterwayor grassed channel. (4) Compaction Compacted soil can be broken up to some extent by deep-working implements. The main remedy is to getmoro humus into the soil. Deep- rooted plants like sweet clover and alfalfa, if they can be started canbreak up the subsoil. (5) Drought Using as many of the above reme dies as possible will do a great dealto cut down the risk of drought. Anything which makea the soil take in and hold more water will help thecrops during a dry season.Many springs and streams which once flowed all summer now dry upin July and August. If they can becleaned out and protected from fillingin with silt they may be kept flowing.The remedies for soil erosion can help a lot.We seem to use more water thanwe did years ago and our wells can not give us all the water we need.For house and barn use, deep wellsare now commonly drilled. For watering stock in pastures or for anemergency supply for fighting fires,we can, quite cheaply, use surface or spring water by building ponds.Pond3 are also useful for swimming,fishing and skating and when sur rounded by shrubs and trees, shelterbirds and friendly wild animals.Although we get just about enoughrain, on the average, for our crops,there are times when we lose an expensive seeding or a valuable cashcrop by a spell of dry weather. Manyfarmers are now irrigating certain crops. To get water for this, thesurface flow or streams have to bestored or well managed. For this purpose, also, small dams and farm ponds may be built.

Hershad been a happy life. Her husband was a prosperous and thrifty farmer.The Lord had blessed his work andthroughout the land he was reco gnized as a master breeder of goodhorses. Three sturdy teen-age sonsshared those honours with him andfor them he sought farm lands inthis country of opportunity.The sugar-beet fields of Alberta were their first destination. But it was lonely there, and the familyyearned for the fellowship of theirown folk. (So they carte to SouthernOntario. /Scarcely had they taken up residence when the mother required hospitalization. It was found shehad silently endured a persistentstomach pain during those long months on the prairies. Now it was too late for medical help and thelittle woman waa returned to herfamily without relief. Regretfully, she saw her twelveyear old girt take over the full re sponsibility of the home, includingthe direction of three children ofearly school age. But from her bedshe quietly and confidently directed the work and the household oper ated efficiently and effectively. Herloving husband was her constant attendant after work hours, and he cared for her tenderly and wall. Anxiety showed in his face and apprehension filled his waking hours.But nothing disturbed the sweet, stoical mother slowly and graduallyweakening on a bed of pain. Longdays and sleepless nights broughtfrom her no murmur or complaint.Always she was cheerful, smiling,confident, full of hope that if God wantcil her her prayers in Heavencould do as much for her children GUARDYOUR HOME wi,h B A R R ETT ?

Her rosary and her crucifixwere her constant comfort. Onelook from her clear, bright eyra seemed sufficient to manage thechildren, who are, without exception, as happy, healthy, well-manner ed and well-trained as any there are.The sturdy furniture in the home,the abundance of clothing, the lovely wool blankets, and the fine linens,bespeak the culture and gracious living that characterized her former life, but the privations of pioneerlife seem in no way to disturb her.Hers is a calm acceptance of God’s will. Her boundless faith in HisGoodness has impressed a wholecommunity and those of us, who comein contact with her are the better for her presence.May God in His Goodness, if it isHis Holy will, restore her to health. If not, may He make her few remaining days painless and peaceful.And may He comfort and sustain the sorrowing husband and the fineyoung family. And, not least in importance, may He send many of hercalibre to this good land of ours.

Speaks to Kiwanis On Foreign Policy Dr. H. M. Thomas, associate professor of history at the Universityof Western Ontario, was guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club Thursday. Introduced by Charlie Parker and thanked by Ed. McKim, he discussed the respective foreign policies of the U.S. and Canada, and said because of the very nature of the peoples of the two countries they could never be in full accord on every foreign problem that came up. The U.S. citizen, he said, no mat ter what country he came from originally, was FIRST American. On the other hand, in Canada, whereas the French Canadians were“the most American of all Americans”, the other big percentage had a firm sentimental bond with the "Mother Country”, which would prevent them from being truly, intense ly American. While the U.S. gets thousands of now citizens each year, for the French Canadians there hadbeen no change for some 200 years”,and thus they are the most isolationist of all Americans of Europeanorigin.” The time may well come, said Dr.Thomas, when an issue might comeup that would split the two countries”, though since we’re both more or less American, we might surmount the problem”. The Canadiandivision of sentiment “might makeus much poorer and lesser neighbor than (we might be". “However," he added, “when the U.S. has a dirtyjob to do for civilization, Canadianswill be there.”Tom Staples was a guest andbirthdays were sung for Frank Wit ty, Currie Wilson and Reg. Henley. Bob Foster reported Easter sealdonations at $161. Rev. C. D. Daniel urged all to support the RedCross drive. President George Lock hart noted that May 15 would agricultural night.

At the same time,to ensure that a municipality which installs a proper system of values isnot discriminated against, they have placed in their grant regulations amethod to overcome this to some de-1 Moon & Moon General Insurance and Real Estate Ingersoll Phone 468 ERNEST W. HUNTER Chartered Accountant 980 Dundas Street East (at Quebec Avenue) LONDON - ONT. Phone 3-9701 We have mentioned above the impor tance of equalized assessment to ensure a fair distribution of sharedcosts of government grants as be tween municipalities. A proper system of assessment and equalizationis especially important, to the local taxpayer for on the basis of his assessment is determined not only the| amount of taxes he pays to maintain county services and schools, but alsothe services provided by his ownmunicipality. He is, therefore, in the first instance concerned with the assessment of his neighbour or similar propertyjin the municipality. The fact thathis assessment is $1500 and the tax rate is 60 mills or whether his asses-ment is $3000 and the tax rate is 30mills does not change the actual taxdollar.^ to be paid from $90.00 However, he is concerned when his asses- ment is $3,000 and similar valueproperty is only assessed for $2500.So equalization and proper assess ment should make its start in thelocal municipality before it can be | applied as a teat against the equali-|xation and assessment of other muni-'cipalities.Assessors ProblemsWhile It is not entirely possible toensure that taxpayers shall only payfor the actual services they receivefrom a municipality, still] some progress along thia line has been made in the past few years.A good assessor never raises theassessment□jecause the exterior orinterior of a building is well paintedor decorated. Neither does he ratethe value of buildings higher becausea good roof or eavetroughing or well kept lawns, flower beds, paved driveways, fences, etc. However, heshould not reduce the assessment because of the lack of any of theseitem8 unless such lack has caused anactual costly physical depreciation.He should keep in mind, however, that badly laid out buildings, lack ofnatural light and the poor location,etc., of a property will definitely reduce the value. He should not penalize the good citizen who improves his home by such items as hardwoodflooring or mastic tile floors, fire places, attached oil burners, panelling, built-in cupboards, etc. Whileall of these itemB are legally assessable, yet the taxpayer whose homehas these features doesn’t receive anyextra municipal service because ofthem and in some instances receivesless.Items which are more or less standard as plumbing, electric lightingand hot water or hot air furnaces•re .assessable and should be includedat a fair charge.

Each acre on a farm must' produce more to bear its fair shareof the tax burden. If the acre isrocky and can produce only a crop of trees can we afford to clear cut itand ejestroy that production withoutmaking the burden on the rest of thefarm just that much heavier? If the crop of trees from stony,steep, or wet land has been unwiselyremoved and it is now waste land oan we afford to lose it? Sometimeswhere there are plenty of seed trees,fencing an area is sufficient; where there are no seed trees, seedlings maybe obtained from the Ontario Government for planting and fencing. These items are small compared to yourloss from carrying idle acres.Snow fence and posts costs ap proximately $1,200 per mile. Erection and dismantling cost $150. to$200. per mile every year.

PHONE 52 The development of labour-savingmachinery has been a big feature ofCanadian agriculture. Anyone lookingaround the average Canadian farm today is amazed when he thinks that itwas only in 1837 that John Deere madehis first steel plough from an old saw blade. Canadian farmers certainly arcnot like the natives on a South American estate who allowed a valuablesteel cart to rust in idleness becauseit did not squeek like their old wooden carts.At the half-way mark of the'20thcentury, a survey of the technologicalchanges in farm life seems to indicate that farm people have benefitted. Theeffects have not all been good, but thelevels of living for farm people haveimproved most in the areas where thegreatest changes have occurred.In 1901 the total value of machinery on Canadian farms was $108,665,502, an average per farm of$213 and per acre $1.71.

EVERYONE SHOPS AT WHITE’S the total had grown to $665,180,416, the value per farm had increased to$935 and- the value per acre was $4.72. In the ten years prior to 1948Canadian farmers spent more than$740 million on machinery and equipment; in the one year, 1948, theyspent $237 per farm, on the average. The transformation in Canada’s agriculture by these successive changesfrom hand power to horse power andthen to machine power goes far beyond mere labour saving. It has altered the Canadian farm from a placewhere diversified production was pursued for the home use to specialized production for the market. Efficient use oi machinery is ofthe greatest importance in keepingdown costs and thereby increasingprofit It is just as wasteful to useunnecessary machinery as to have ina dequate machinery. It is wasteful,too, when machinery is not properlyprotected from the weather. The costof protection is discussed by H. R.Hare, Agricultural Advisor, the National Employment Service, in his bookFann Busi n ets ,1/a na g c me v t Mr. Hare estimates that in the dampclimate of Eastern Canada it willpay to spend as much as 20 per centof the value of farm-machinery inconstructing a building for its shel ter, while in the drier atmosphere ofthe Prairie Provinces no more than10 per cent of the machinery valueshould be so expended. Farming in Canada is, for the mostpart of the family farm kind. Allthe people on the farm contribute tothe general program, and all econ omic and social activities are sharedin common. The idea of production for a common family purpose, of building afamily and perpetuating a prosperous, productive estate, is one of thegreatest factors in adding dignity to family life. No artificial methodsare needed to bring together the mem bers of a family farm. In no othersphere of life do we find the sexesquite as indispensible for each other'swell being as they prove in the coun ty.______ One farmer’s wife said: An important advantage is that farm lifemakes it easier for the wife’s and husband’s interests to be the same.Everything is to be cared for and planned together instead of outsidethe home. Thus a man is not so aptto become a meal, clothing and shelter coupon for the wife, and she to become just cook and housekeeper.” Farmers are, as a class, more independent than any other large class.The vast majority of them are theirown employers, heads of independent enterprises. What size of farm is required topermit an effective use of the labourof the farm family and to provide aminimum acceptable standard of living? There are only general guides. Professor David L. Farlane, Macdonald College, comments in a“Queen's Quarterly” article on thedifficulty of securing an economiccombination of land, labour and mach inery. He says: “Without importantexceptions some 85 per cent of ourfarms arc too small or their operators too limited in capital to reachthe degree of mechanization calledfor by economic standards.” Acreage is not a final test of effi cient production. More capital maybe invested and more labour appliedon ten acres than upon a hundredacres extensively farmed, with equallygood income returns. The available evidence seems to show that family-operated farms which are largeenough to utilize labour-saving equipment and other improved techniquesusually can compete effectively, so far as providing a good living goes,with large-scale units.No article issued by this Bank,which has always had at heart thewise use of Canada's natural resources, would be complete without mention of conservation. All revenue from farm operation is obtainedthrough the medium of crops and livestock, and soil is the basic resource in their production. Incomeyield depends to a large extent upon land being used for purposes forwhich it is best suited.Rough and stony land may break the heart and exhaust the bank account of the man who tries to till it for crops, but may return good earnings when used for pasture or woodlots. Other land may produce spindly plants, or plants deficient in nutrient qualities, because the materials have been exhausted by repeatedcropping or by erosion. This land can be brought back to productivityby carrying out a long-term plan offertilization, crop rotation, and rational cultivation. Farmers have realized that increased yields can be ob tained by the use of fertilizers. Salesof fertilizer materials and mixtures for use in Canada rose from 170,000tons in 1927 to 742,000 tons in 1949.(from Royal Bank Bulletin).
