Pleasure in Recall Of Town’s History This continues Mr. James Sinclair's History «f Ingersoll: Returning to our subject, the mak­ing of the ..Mammoth Cheese was be­ ing discussed very cautiously as itwas an undertaking of some magni­tude and great risk and also with-cut precedent as a guide. It was notuntil 1864 that arrangements were completed and the appliances neces­sary were decided upon. It was de -cided that all requirements in connec­ tion should be made in Ingersoll inorder to keep outsiders from knowingtheir purpose. Following were thetown officers for 1863: John Galli-ford, Reeve Arthur O’Connor, Dep.Reeve; Adam Oliver, J. H. Hoyt, Dr.D M. Robertson, Councillors; R. A.Woodcock, Clerk; James Murdoch, Treasurer. The war in the U.S. was progres­sing favorably for the Northern Ar­mies and the death of Stonewall Jack-son this year seemed to discourage the southern people, and the end ofthe war was felt to be in sight. But,as the war was nearing an end, ourenemies the Fenians, were growingbolder and the hope to enlist many of the discharged soldiers in theircause made the situation more ser­ious for us in Canada and our wholemilitary attention was turned to mili­tary affairs. More soldiers were coming to Canada and London wasturned into a military camp with theregiments stationed there, whileBrantford, Toronto and Hamilton hadseveral regiments with all their ex­ tensive outfits. While our volunteerswere being recrqjted to their fullstrength, all other business was al­most entirely neglected. The mat­ter which interested our citizens was our passing from villagehood to takeour position as a town in the near future and it waa feared the Fenianmenace would prevent this consum­mation. Our main hope was thatGreat Britain would bring, pressureto bear on the government of the U.S.could not take any action until someovert act had been committed by theFenians. With the entrance upon this year1864, we close our existence as a vil­lage.Naturally the desire to preside asfirst Mayor was an incentive to riv­alry among the aspirants for thisoffice. The officers for the last year of villagehood were John Galliford,Reeve; D. M. Robertson, Dep. Reeve; Arthur O'Connor, R. McDonald,James Noxon, Councillors; R. A.Woodcock, Clerk; E. Doty, Treasur­ er. The war in the U.S. ended thisyear and the fear* entertained by the people of Canada that the disband- Shoes, Toys, Cards Sold Everywhere In Ingersoll Boxes Strangely enough, the greatestnumber of boxes made by the Inger­ soll Paper Box Co., does not go to Ingersoll firms.The boxes made at this King St West Company are divided into twokinds—folding and set up. The fol­ ding boxes manufactured there are mainly shoe cartons, cake boxes,and garment boxes, while “set ups”include toy, game, hosiery and Christmas card boxes. Most of theseare shipped out of tojwn and goacross Canada, with many sent to Toronto and iHumiberatone.Boxes were not always the onlyarticles manufactured by this com­pany. When it began production inJune of 1922 it was the “IngersollCone and Paper Box Company”,and small folk in those days wereproud of the fact that the cone part of their ice-cream cones weremade in IngersolL It would be hardto ertimate the number employed during those years because during part of the year the cone plant wasn’t in production, but it is thought the average number would In 1938 the cone plant iwaa re> laced by the “set-up" box depart­ ment There are now 25 employees.During its 30 year* of production,the Ingersoll Paper Box Company-•has done much to spread the goodword for Ingersoll. A Young Industry Coronation Makes Finest of Chairs Foundedjn 1987. the CoronationFurniture Factory is one of Inger­soll’s youngest industries. WhenFred G., Jones and Walter Leaper,original owners, founded the fac­ tory 15 years ago, they were scoffedat for an idea that couldn’t possibly succeed.To-day Coronation furniture is known and distributed throughoutthe country from east to west coast.The original two have increasedtheir staff to 17 (Including sales­men). The location of the factory,Victoria street, has not been chang­ed, but there have been changes in production during the past twoyears. Emphasis has always been on the making of chairs, but they didmanufacture other furniture such ascoffee tables and book cases. Today, however, they concentrate wholly onchairs* There has been a change too,in the type of chairs. Originallymanufacturing period pieces such asChippendale and Sheraton, they have found that the trend has changed to a modern design.Materials for the chair covers are imported from France, Italy, theUnited States and Belgium. TheCoronation Furniture Co. was thefirst in Canada to import the special Aubusson for their Louis XV pieces.Ingersoll’s Coronation Factory—ashort history but a successful one. Tribune Files Tell Story of Change ing of the American army would give <encouragement to the Fenians was 'daily becoming more evident with a Isteady arrival of British troops. The itrade between Canada and the U.S. I began to fall off our country was rflooded with American silver and i was taken by our banks at a discount. 1From speeches made by many of our ;leading dairymen at banquets and 1 other gatherings we gather that its iintroduction beneficially effected the <whole economic life of Ontario, and iits development brought unity of 1economic interests throughout the i western part of the Province to anextent impossible to realize.

The inauguration of our <advanced status was not celebratedwith that enthusiasm that would haveaccompanied the event had the peace- i ful condition of our country not beenmenaced by the prospect of invasion •by the Fenians, which at this time had . assumed a most serious aspect Theending of the American war the pre­vious year, now proved to be a realityin the disbanding of hundreds ofthousands of soldiers from the Amer­ ican Army. Thia was the event whichwas counted on by our prospective in­vaders to add to their numbers, which together with a press hostile toeverything British, was far from comfortable or reassuring. It was inthis atmosphere our entrance intothe Status of a/Town waa consum­ mated by the election of Adam Oli­ver as Mayor, James McGaughey,Reeve; Edward Barker, Dep. Reeve; Jas. McCaughey, James Bell, A. N.Christopher, James Noxon, R. H. Carrol], Edward Barker, C. P. Hall,Councillors; R. A. Woodcock, Clerk;E. Doty, Treasurer. In addition to our unrest causedby the threatening attitude of theFenian menace, matters of stillgreater importance to us were beingforced on our observation. The com­ ing Confederation of the provinces ofCanada were slated to take place onJuly 1st, 1867, barely two years hence. Frequently .the questionwould be asked “What would be theresult of failure to prevent our ene­ mies from getting a foothold in ourcountry?” The answer was thatshould the Fenians succeed in secur­ ing an initial advantage over ourdeenders, the Americans would bepowerless to prevent the invasion ofour country from widely separatedpoints of attack, by thousands of dis­ charged American soldiers. In sucha situation the proposed confedera­tion of our urovinces would have to be at least postponed if not abandoned.In order to make this statement un­derstood by the reader of today, we have only to refer to the lack at en­thusiasm toward Federation by sever­al of the Province. It can be said ofsome of. them, that were it not forthe influence of the three most prom­ inent statesman of that period, theconsummation of Federation wouldhave been doubtful. The three states­ man referred to were Sir John Mc­Donald, who was regarded by the people of Canada as their politicalleader Sir George Etienne Cartier,the chosen representative of Quebec,and the honourable Thomas D’ArcyMcGee, the latter, the most brilliantorator of his time.The following year, 1866, is re­ markable for two important event®.On June 2, our invaders were routedand the much heralded formidable in­vasion proved a miserable failure,costing us the loss of, alas, too manyof our young men. And it can be■ said that it was accomplished by ourown volunteers, not a British soldierfired a shot and it waa from the, ranks of our own citizens the sacri-- firns were made. I cannot do bettorI than repeat what a member of our (Continued on Pape 10) of THAMES A HIGHWAY 150 YEARS AGO Sprinkled through the bush what is known today as Oxford County, were many settlers who had located before the surveyors arrived to carry out the instructions of Governor Simcoe. The Governor hadordered'a survey of Oxford on the Thames for the purpose of givingit to Major Thomas Ingersoll as aninducement to colonize the new settlement It is known that Inger­soll fulfilled his part of the agree­ment to construct roads and to ob­ tain new settlers, only to have thegovernment renege on the proposi­tion “to prevent land speculation”, in 1797. The Mayor spent 850,006of his own money in opening anew road from Burford and theharsh edict brought him financial re­ verses that led to his death in 1805.Oxford’s first citizens were Loy­ alists from' the 13 original (Statesof the United States. Their landwas sequestered by the state anddeclared forfeited by act of Con­ gress. By boat or ox-cart, they fledto Canada with only the goods andchattels- they could conveniently carry. Oswego. Niagara and DetroitRivers iwere the jumping off placesfor those destined to take up landin Oxford- Indian trails invariablyfollowed the river and erodes. Probably the .Thames River waa thecommon waterway fot'the first set­tlers via McGregor’s (Chatham) and Allen’s (Delaware) and thenceto this district. One hundred andfifty years ago, a good sized boat could ascend the Thames River withease. Some settler* came overlandfrom New YorX.— (From Agricul­ tural and Industrial Progress inCanada”, July, 1947). ' Examinations for students must ihave been a harrowing experience in 1876. "All friqpds of education” iwere cordially invited to attend thepublic examinations of the pupils ofMr. Deacon’s room. Council thatyear was considering whether the fineof 350 set by by-law for horse thieves waa too low- Belligerent young menwere warned that it was illegal tocarry bowie knives, daggers or dirks,iron knuckles, skull crackers or slingshots- Moody and (Murray couldsell five pounds of coffee or 25cakes of soap for $1A)O and a buf­ falo robe (whole skin) was just 83. Her Majesty Queen Victoria had 25grandchildren.. In 1879 there was a murder at the Royal Hotel. The mxurder was the result of a fight which culminated afeud of two-months’ standing. Fash­ion was a serious matter and the lad­ ies were advised to “get up with the lark in the morning and having pro­vided yourself with a well-filledwallet”, betake themselves to such places as Hearn and Macauley’s, I. Coyne's, Mrs. Curtis’, D. White & Co.,or W. Alexander’s. The bonnets, ailnamed, were the most importantitem. One, “The Matinee”, *was des­ cribed as “a white chip bonnet, faced with white velvet, ana trimmed with cream satin, ostrich plumes andgarnet ornaments.” The showroomsfor these beauties were noted for ithe splendour of their ornamentalsand for decorations that would dazzle the eyes.The Oxford Tribune of 1899 des­cribed a field day for the farmers of the Blyth district on the occasion of the spring delivery of farm imple­ments from Ingersoll’s Noxon Com­pany. There was an increasing de­ mand for the abolition of toll roads. A royal salute was planned for sun­rise on the day of the Queen’s birth­day and Thamesford merchants de­ cided to close at seven o’clock three nights a week. Headlines of the dayremind one of the tabloids of today—“Met Him at a Funeral . . . Girl Elopes with Undertaker” . . . “Jump­ ed on Wife, Attempt to CommitMurder” . . . “Charvivari ProvedFatal, Serenade! Shot Bride” . . .The Salford Cheese Co. reported the avrage price of cheese 8.42c. Hol- linrake’s had blouses at 25c and abicycle which allowed you to haveyour feet close to the ground was advertised for timid riders. In the later years of the nine­teenth century, Ingersoll boastedseveral papers. The Weekly Sun,published by T. A. Bellamy, dared something in 1887 that publishers of today ,would fear tajjry. They pub­lished a list of there' delinquent insubscription dues. s iThe "Sun” was reporting a courtinvestigation of a dispute between Mayor M T- Buchanan and W. R.Wilson of the police, and a largeattendance was promised for theproceedings. Mr. E. H. Hugill was one of the town photographers. Thetheme of the day is still familiar—"times are hard and ihoney isscarce.” Notwithstanding the fact Town School Board Is Century Old Too The first Board of School Trustees I the ladies received 3214.for the village of Ingersoll, was'jects taught were not & though, the Sun also said that Ourmerchants were doing a large busi­ness. And if soap operas were unheard of, there was the story of “Dolly—the Young Widdcr up to Felder’s.”In 1917 there were the lettersfrom Ingersoll boys overseas - - and the casualty lists. Dereham Council resolved that cow tags be sold only on a strictly cash basis. McIntyre House Furnishing waa ad­ vertising “the gupreme achievementin sound-reproducing instruments.”(The picture fa the ad waa upside down, but it looked like a gramo­ phone.) The Maxwell was the onlycar advertised. Northways had mu­nition dresses, made especially for factory work and Naylor's offeredgood high boots for men at 83.50. Seven years Jhter, the very latest in 1924 styles showed dresses withno waistline. XBicycles rated lots ofadvertising spacer and Betty Compson,Richard Dix and Dewis Stone were featured in the movies. George Bartlett was giving a special to themen of the town—the finest suits at310.00* The years following the first war were busy and apparently prosper­ ous ones for Ingersoll and district.The "Chronicle” (ventured out in adaily edition. The old Central School was sold by auction for 31500 and work on the new school had begun.In 1923 public school estimates wereset at 828,450.10 and the Colleg­iate’s at 325,671.76. A collision be­ tween two buggies on the CullodenRoad in the dark resulted in onebadly broken buggy. The Ingersoll, North and West Oxford Agricultural Society were looking into the possi­bility of building a new “palace” andperhaps a .horse barn too. The local Junior O.H.A. team was defeated in ' the semi-finals by one goal and thehospital concert, “Katcha-Koo” wasin rehearsal. In 1925 School Board estimates were 83000 down and St.Paul's Presbyterian Church voted249-151 against church union. Mc­Dougall & Son had sugar, 12 pounds for 31*00 and potatoes at 81.65 a bag. The big Ontario Fireman’s Asso­ciation Convention was the event of the summer of 1934 and it gave the town one of the biggest civic holidayweek-ends ever, with a midway andshows and parades and sports and general hilarity. There was a rum­ our that a petition was about to becirculated calling for a vote on thesale of beer and wine by the glass. You could get a good gas stove for851,75; boy’s knee pants for 59c anda nickel would buy a good cigar. The *30’s were tough times and this was reflected in the advertisement—what few there were—of the time.The railroads were urging travel, on cent-a-mile excursions. Porterhouse steak was only 20c a pound at Rid­dell’s and butter was 19c. A newteacher was hired for Victory Mem­ orial at 8693.75 per year and Sat­urday night band concerts werepopular entertainmentThe early ‘40’s were war years again and again there were the casu­alty lists and the letters from our The Post Office Built in 1898, it has changed little in appearance. King Hiram Lodge Formed in 1803 for __________ — ___elected on the 6th day of January, 1852. The teachers must have beenstrong souls physically and mentally,for two of them handled 150 pupils.Ten years later, records tell that there were several schools in thevillage in connection with the dif­ferent denominations. The Union School, a “common and grammar” school united, had 180 pupils andfour teachers:Then problems of a new school and its costs beset the citizens of the ’70’s just as it is doing today. Aschool for Ward 1, proposed in1874, with cost estimated at 38,000,brought a charge that the Board was extravagant, but the school wasbuilt. Two of its four rooms weresufficient for the Ward School and in 1877 the Collegiate Institute was moved from the old central schoolto the other two rooms. Eventually,the Collegiate took over the whole building and the public school pupilswere transferred to the old, unusedMethodist Church on John Street. It was in 1877 that Ingersoll’s “Model School” was opened jn theCentral School building, for thetraining of third class teachers. The school now known as Princess Elizabeth, was built fa 1909 and afine new addition was made in1950. Victory Memorial replaced the old Central School in 1921.The records of 90 years ago showthat the average salary for male teachers of the day was 3400 while ___________________,____ The sub­jects taught were not so different from those of today, although “vo­cal music, linear drawing and needle­work” were apparently optional and not popular. There were 54 out of a school population (■5-1-6 years),listed as “indigent”, and no mentionis made of a truant officer. Those were the good old days! We frequently read or hear the 1 expression these days that “Ingersoll 'is one hundred years old.” Is this 1 statement not a little misleading? It I is true that as a municipality wehave had one hundred years of self 1 government, but as centres of popu- 1 lation, not only Ingersoll but Beach- * ville, Centreville and Putnam have 1 been on the map for over one hun- 'dred and fifty years and. perhaps :Salford is not so far behind. All of ’ these villages were in the Ingersoll 1 settlement which extended from 'Beachville to Putnam and southfrom the river. As our centennial draws near,much will be written on variousphases of this locality. In this article the writer intends to give a short historical sketch of what I* prob­ ably the oldest organization that stillexists in our community, the oldMasonic Lodge. Mr. Ingersoll and his party arrivedIn this locality in 1793 and grants ofland were made north and south of King street .from Beachville to Put­ nam. Many of these 'settiers had come from communities where theyattended a Masonic Lodge.'As early as’1802, just nine years after the first settler* arrived, a petition (wassent to the Grand Lodge of Eng­land, asking that the Provincial Grand Lodge of Upper Canada insti­tute a primary loge at Oxford onThames, Upper Canada. As a result of this petition, the Grand LodgeI appointed several distinguished boys overseas.

And, reading them, one is in-clnied to wonder if people do change much after all. Grandpa had his giddy momenta too. Ta&e this, forinstance (from the Tribune of“At a country party the other 1899):“At a country party the othernight, a humorist was called upon toget up a new style of amusement.

The tax rate for 1943 was set at 34% millsand the next year a by-law waspassed appointing consulting engin­eers to prepare plans and-Specifica­ tions for a sewage system for thetown. Soap flakes were hard to get,but prices had not risen, thanks to controls. The government was warn­ ing us to prepare our homes for ade­quate warmth with smaller fuelconsumption and by 1944 a cartoon portrayed Hitler in serious trouble. By 1945 there was peace and sosoon after, phrases like "cold war”and “Iron Curtain” brought new world problems. Ingersoll was busywith her first big undertakings inyean—the sewage system, the be­ginnings of the new Alexandra Hos­ pital and talk of a new Collegiate— and the-consequent financial prob­lems. Housing was a big question and while long-missing goods were again on the shelves, prices beganto rise. Many now Canadians werecoming to our community, adding an international flavour. Artificial ice In the arena brought back the popu­larity of hockey and ice skating andbusy citizens were wondering aboutover-organization in the community. And in the *50’s, Ingersoll startsupon her second century. We stillthink that money is scarce and prices high, taxes outrageous andour personal and public problems section, the Grand Lodge appointedits representatives from as near Ox­ ford as possible and as a result,there were present June 24 in theyear 1803, several pioneers whosenames have gone down in local his­ tory as the builders of OxfordCounty. To those who are mostfamiliar with the history of OxfordCounty, the following names wouldsound familiar: Thoa. Horner, Wm.Sumner, David Palmer, L. Merrick,Caleb Stafford, Sikes Townley, Joel Piper. On the above mentioned date, these delegates, along with others,who came from a greater distance,established a Masonic Lodge knownas King Hiram No. 12 under the jur­ isdiction of the Provincial GrandLodge at Niagara on the Lake. As to this day, many of the des­cendants of its first members still live in Oxford or Ontario, here isa list of first members: James Bur­dick, W.M.; Enoch Burdick, S.W.;Samuel Canfield, J.W.; Bobt, Sweet, Ariel Towsley, Hammond Lawrence,Asabiel Lewis, Joel Piper, Wm.Sumner, Secretary. This lodge started in the log cabin of Robert Sweet, not far from thepresent Thames street bridge, nearly50 years before Oxford, now 'Inger­ soll, became an incorporated self-governing municipality. The names far more serious than ever before. In our more honest moments though,we know that some day, these will be the very days we mean when we say“Those were the good old days.” At one time Noxon’s was Ingersoll’s chief industry andiIdea Furnace plantaisnow, and where Wilson Memorial Pool its products went world wide. It stood where one of the New • is presently giving joy to thousands. >■ the lodge minute book which is still in possession of King Hiram Lodgeand the entries were made 149years ago last Jane 24th. It may be that outside of the archives at Ottawa or Toronto,there is no organization in thistown that has preserved so completea record for so long a period. Part of the secretaries’ accounts have been preserved and show that lodge dueswere paid fa Mexican dollars, Britishcurrency, pounds of candles or other articles of barter that were in de­mand at that time. The original by­laws, old letters, the first jewels ofthe principal officers are still fa possession of the lodge, together with many photographs of prominentcitizens of this town long since gone.The lodge meeting* were held on or before the full of the moon each month, so the members would likelyhave moonlight to travel the bridlepaths home. This old lodge passed through thedangerous days of 1812-1814 andone of its members, Gapt. Towsley,was taken prisoner in this town by the American invadersIn 1836, Burford, Ingersoll andLondon formed a Grand Lodge oftheir own with the famous Dr. Dun- comb as the Grand Master. Thismovement ,was broken up in i!837when Dr. Duncomb was forced toleave the country to save his life ua he had taken a prominent part in *; the uprising. The story of his es-: cape through Norwich, Ingersoll, Nilestown and London, is a thriller. So the story of this old lodge goes on through' the years until we cometo 1852. We have been told many times how the coming of the GreatWestern Railway, the rise in theprice of wheat caused by the Cri­mean War and the demand for cord wood together with the expansion ofthe cheese industry, had changed thewhole local scene; how the forestrapidly disappeared and how pros­ perity and high wages brought hun­dreds of new faces to our commun­ity to the extent that IngenoU' be­came an incorporated village fa 1862. This prosperity continued and Ingersoll experienced an unpre­cedented influx of new citizens sothat it was large enough in a few short years to become a town. The old lodge experienced the same prosperity and changing itsauthority from the Grand Lodge ofEngland, it became an Irish Lodge under the Grand Lodge of Ireland in 1852. It grqw with IngenoU untilthere were enough metobers to formtwo lodges and St John's Lodge was started and is now almost 100 yearsold.Among th® names on the registerin 1852 are many familiar to the older citizens of IngenoU. Some ofthem were businewnen, manufac­turers or citizens and several servedthis community as councillors, such as David Curtis, David Doty, J. J.Hoyt, H. S Comstock, E. W. Hyman,Wm, Poole, J. Galliford, Thoa. Put­ nam, Wm. Niles, EUsha Hall, R. A. Woodcock, Bro. McWhinnie andParkhurst, Oliver Carrol, Flanfag.Gurnet, Light, Paterson. The history of King Hiram Lodge No. 37, which began 10 year* afterthe Brant Indians dixected Ingeraolland his friends to this location, has been the history of a part off theIngersoll people. Its member* have shared the joy* and sorrow*, the prosperity and the depression of thiscommunity throughout all the yearsahd it is safe to ray that tfauTS many hundred members ofthese two lodges who wiU join whole­heartedly with the citizens of^ur «el*rating its one hundredyears of eelf government.

Our country now restored to peace­ful conditions was in a state of mindto appreciate the other importantfactor referred to, namely- the suc­cessful production of the Mammoth Cheese which weighed X,000 pounds orthree tons and a half. This was theoutstanding feature which was pro­posed in 1864. To create the Mam­moth Cheese was worth more than anadvertisement of our resources andpotentiability and furnished a prece­dent for every succeeding enterpriseof * similar character. It was the harbringer of that continued pros­perity that followed its appearance,throughout the whole country. Confidence in the future of ourdairying enterprise haa inspired our people to greater efforts in its pro­motion. While the barriers had beenremoved from our successful appear­ance on the principal markets of theworld, while excellence of quality was expressed in the words “IngersollDistrict Cheese,” it would add butlittle to the information of those of the present day to make extendedreference to the successful exper­ience of that most worthy man, Mr. Homer Rsnney. It would also be an let of Injustice on our part to fail to give his early rffort* a in .MIT -record, as one of those worthy Settlers our earlier days, who brought’Sin him from Herkimer County.State, that practical knowledgeof dairying as it was operated and in his family relationship with the lateJames Harris, Esq., whose interestand enthusiasm in the formation of the co-operative system of produc­tion made him one of our principalleaders in this trade." To him themaking of the Mammoth Cheese was entrusted and so successfully accom­plished, while to our grand old man who was affectionately referred to asFather Ranney, it was a source ofgreat satisfaction to witness from within the circle of his own familythe success of an undertaking of such far reaching importance. Norcan we fail to add that the loyalty ofJ our friends in the Norwich districtwas a most important contributingelement in the ultimate success of theundertaking in connection with which: we refer to the names of Farringtonanj Lessee as outstanding in theirefforts toward success from the ini­ tial stages of this enterprise. At the period to which we are re­ferring fears were often expressedas to the permanence of the dairybusiness from the exhaustion of the fertility of the soil, nor could thelayman at that time be blamed forentertaining this opinion, after theexperience a tew years previously,from the overcropping in the case of wheat and other cereals. Science andour own experience during the last 60 years has made it clear that of allthe products of the farm that per­manently leave the source of produc­ tion, dairying takes least of the ele­ments of plant life and leaves moreof the elements necessary to plantlife, than any other class of farming.Passing from the producing part oil' our subject we now approach the all.important question — the bringing ofthe product of the meadows to themarkets of the world, in which an en* «<*narate class of talent and abtUty’i; nec.ta.ry-.

When this young man reached nearly his 20th year, he came to Canada and entered the employ­ ment of Barker and Browett, whose place of business, a general store,was situated at King St. East Whilehe was rendering most acceptable service to his employers the questionof the co-operative system of dairy­ing began to interest our people and into this matter he threw his wholeefforts in its Dromotion, realising as but few could, the vast possibili­ties presented in such a profitableand successful enterprise.Upon his intimate knowledge of thebusiness system necessary to securerecognition on the British markets, he was entrusted with the confidenceof the management in his knowledgeand business ability — to the extent of his promotion as representative ofour interests in placing our products on the British markets, in which hesucceeded beyond our expectations. Iwill no longer withold the name ofour greatest commercial statesmanwhich was Mr. Edwin Casswell.These efforts by no means endedhis labours. Proprietors and mana­ gers of steamship companies, rail­way presidents and other officialswere conferred with and interested, every phase of the business was covered by his forethought and cour­age and it is upon record that in theinterests of this trade Mr. Edwin Casswell had made 55 journeys acrossthe ocean visiting and dealing withthe ports of entry and other matters in England and Scotland, standingguard over our interests. This trulywonderful man moved to London,Canada, where he departed this lifein 1896 at the age of 66 yean leaving behind him his name to be honoredand respected and an enduring mon­ument to his life efforts for the bene­ fit and welfare of his fellow men.The first step in the continuousprogress of Western Ontario, was. is and will continue to be based on thedairying system introduced duringthe early 60’s, in the Ingersoll dis­ trict of South Oxford. The productsmay change in form, but elementallynever. For instance one local Con­densing Company (The Borden Co. Ltd.,) were TCCervlug 90,000 pounds of milk daily and the three county factories receive daily 250,000 lbs.Their export is 1/50 of their product,bur trade in cheese and butter to beadded to this. Summary of the introduction of the co-operative making and marketing of our dairy products:1864 — Meeting held in the officesof the Niagara District Bank, C. E.Chadwick, Manager.The following list will show ths oc­casion and personnel of those who were the- earliest connected with thc-effort to bring tho several dairymenof thia district together in the co-op- erative system of making and mark­eting the product of the factories:Mr< James Noxon, Chairman; 0.E. Chadwick. Secretary, Ingersoll; James Harris, West Oxford: Edwin Casswell, salesman, Ingersoll; Har­ vey Farrington, H. S. Lossee, Nor­wich; Daniel Phelan, Capitalist, Ing­ ersoll; George Galloway, West Ox­ ford; Charles Wilson, Dereham;Robert Facey. Ingersoll; BenjaminHopkins, Brownsville.Messrs. Thomas Balantine, Strat­ford; D. Derbyshen, Brockville, were not present, but had been advised inadvance of the propositions to bebrought forward at this meeting and had given their consent.It was at this meeting Mr. C. E.Chadwick made the statement that trade could not be conducted on alocal scale, or as he expressed it in aparochial manner, and the proposi­tion was made to extend . invitationsto all those who were in any way connected with dairying in Ontario.This proposition was made after Mr.Casswell had expressed his views from the standpoint of a salesman.It was at this meeting the propositionwas made to make the mammoth cheese.Proceeding on the claim of priority,we must include the operations ofour old friend Father Ranney, who asearly as 1835 made the first cheesefor sale in the local market, and dur­ ing his active years possessed a dairyherd of 100 cows, which at that timeWas considered remarkable nor canwe get away from Father Ranney under more modem conditions, astwo of our most prominent manufac­turers, Mr. James Harris and Mr. Harvey Farrington, who were bro­thers-in-law, and at the same timesons-in-laws of Father Ranney. Nor is that alL The mammoth cheesewas made in the factory of his son-in-law, Mr. James Harris inWest Ox­ ford, just outside the corporate lim­its of the town of Ingersoll, and fur­thermore, it was a success. Herethe dairying trade of Ingersoll on theco-operating plan was conceived, born, cradled and nourished until itwore pants and could go it alone and,then some. Here it was where the young men who were sent to learn thedairy business were lodged andboarded, receiving the same fare and attention as the family. Here it was mechanics from those places, distantfrom Ingersoll, came and wert shown through our workshops and factories. Nothing was reserved that would assist them in their tradeg andbusiness .nd in connection with thedairy business. They were given free what had coat . u8 much experi­ ment and experience, and all this information with a free will, andwhich was continued for years after­ward on the skme terms.Nor should he forget to mentionthe fact that not only were young men prepared to perform their dut-i^ J?L,>p?:r?tors “nd tak® tho *®®Pon-sibilityof the management of thdr respective establishments, but theywere prepared for a wider field ofusefulness. It is now over 20 years ago that the dairy interests of. Scot­land perceived the necessity of secur­ing some advanced intelligence, tomeet the demand of their interests.To do so it was found necessary to gobeyond the limits of their own envir­onment and appeal to that source ofinformation that had already proved itself a possessor of that knowledge.« was to the Ingersoll District they WBB from the Inker­soil District their requirements weremet and more than satisfied, by oneof our most brilliant young men whonot only met the practical demand*Of his advanced situation, but proved Powwaed of those qualitiesof intelligent leadership which in due 'o'™ P M the fatetitution in acondition, with the resultthat Ma addrea. is; Professor R.

There were lodges of theMasonic Order, Independent Orderof Oddfellows, and the <Loyal OrangeAssociation. There were two musicalsocieties, organized in 1802, the Ing­ersoll Philharmonic Society, "com­ posed of ladles and gentlemen ofgood musical taste and talent," andthe Ingersoll Musical Association"composed exclusively of instrumen­tal performers.” There was also a Temperance -Lodge. "During the last decade the pro gressive advancement of the villagehas been remarkable, equally asregards population, commercial im portance, and the extension of itsoccupied area. By the census returns for 1861, it is shown that it has outnumbered double its popula­tion for 1851 by about 200—havingincreased from 1,190 in the latteryear to 2,756 in the return for1861."Its general aspect has greatly improved in the same period by the erection of a very superiorclass of public and private buildings, and other improvements whichhave been going on steadily withinthe municipal boundary. Conse- ,quently its growth and prosperityin the various branches of industry and commerce has been considerably ,enhanced.

From its eligible situationits easy accessibility both by rail and road, and the facilities therebyafforded for the transportation of J goods, Ingersoll bids fair to become the most important mart of businessand commerce in the county."The staple business and indus­ trial trade of the village and neighborhood is in wheat and sawnlumber. It is well supplied withmanufacturing facilities, having un­ limited water power in the imme­diate vicinity, which at present givespower to two grist and two flouring mills, one of each belonging to ®.H.

Automotive'PartsChief ProductionOf Machine Co.The Ingersoll Machine and ToolCo., founded in the year 1914 pro­ vides work for 350 citizens of Inger­soll and district. E. A. Wilson, pre­sident, founded the company at the .beginning of World War I. Therewere 20 or 30 employed then andhey devoted themselves to muni­tions work. Later they manufacturedair starters. zToday they produce automotive parts. Still on the same location al King Street West, the area of thefactory is, according to vice-presi­dent Harold Wilson, about five timpagreater than the original 38 yearsago. The following staement publish­ ed a few years ago was verified by the vice-president: “Since the early3O’s*the Ingersoll (Machine Co. have made every steering gear assemblythat has gone into a Canadian builtcar or truck by Ford, Meteor, Mer­ cury, Dodge, DeSoto, Plymouth,Chrysler, Hudson or Nash.” Zurbriggg’s Limited Has Served Town Over 40 Years It (will come a» a surprise to manyto learn that Zurbrigg’s Bakery Ltd.,employs a total of 35 persons. When S. G. Zurbrigg went intobusiness in 1908 there wasn’t thevariety of cakes and pastry knownto us to-day. The main concern then was the baking of bread, buns, afew cakes, (jelly rolls), and a goodsupply of cookies.The Bakery was in “The 2 Macs”, for 25 years. In 1933, Bernie Zur­brigg joined the staff. In 1936 theymoved across to their Thames Street building.During the war business boomed,when residents found they couldn’tlossibly make enough pastry to sat-1isfy the family's “sweet tooth" while1 rationing was necessary; so the'Bakery was split into two shops. | One shop was moved to King Streetfor three war years. Five years ago Ithey moved to the Oxford Street1 Shop. Their delivery covers a 15-mileradius around Ingersoll. |With their large staff and many, customers Zurbrigg’s have grown!into one of the largest bakeries in |, Im In Ontario that employ so many.**Thus, for 44 years, Zurbrigg'a havepenniaded Ingersoll to “Let Zur«brigg’s Do Your Baking.” Reminding us of the days when Ingersoll curlers were notedfar and wide and the rink on King Street was one of the bus­iest Spots in town, this teem of 40-odd years ago is shown withone of their trophies.

They employ 118 now and processP.lue Bonnet margarine as well as thecheese products. They have a nation­ wide distribution.Thus cheese business in Ingersollis only 15 years younger than the town itself.During the war they exported atremendous amount to Great Britain.Today their markets are domestic.Ingersoll can be proud of its nick­name “Cheese Town”, taken from abusiness which has been associatedwith it for 85 of its 100 years. ATTEMPT TO SET CHEESE FLOOR PRICE Attempts to fabricate a floor price for Ontario cheese are creating some­thing. unique in all cheese history,says the Financial Post. Whit it amounts to is that Ottawaand the Ontario Government are bothgetting into the act to guarantee a price that the wholesale trade isn’tanxious to pay in view of athreatened surplus. If they won’tpay it, things will be back to the star­ting post as far as cheese producersare concerned.When Britain decided earlier thisyear she couldn’t afford dollars forCanadian cheeae right now (they took20 million pounds last year) and theUnited States dairy lobbyist con­ vinced Washington politicians thatthe rich U.S. market was solelytheirs by right of occupancy, Ontario cheese producers were faced with aserious surplus problem.Ontario wants Ottawa to guaran­tee that there will be no imports ofcheese from New Zealand this year —.from whom we imported some 11million pounds last year.The next likely moves:1. Premier Frost of Ontario willpersonally ask Prime Minister St Laurent’s assurance that some“legal" deal be arranged whereby no New Zealand cheese enters Canadathis year.2. The wholesale trade will meet to decide whether or not It will paythe 30c a pound asked.

Audiences Wept Over Little Eva’s Troubles The windows of the Town Hallwere open, jut a little, for the hallwas crowded and the April breezes carried a promise of the summer to come. Through the open windows could be heard the melodies of the Lone Star Quartette. As the evening wore on the openwindows served another purpose. They provided an easy exit for thefumes of a carbide spot light which held a chorus of dancing Topsies Ina circle of light and as they danced,their shadows flickered across the stage to where a strong leash heldin tow “the world’s largest blood­hound”, more than 80 pounds inweight and valued at $1,000.Out of the open windows, too, came snatches of applause for themembers of Stetson’s Uncle Tom’sCabin Company, performing on thestage. This was the Ingersoll scene inApril, 1899.On the desk of Ingersoll’s mayorlay a petition from town doctors seeking permission to ride their bi­ cycles on the sidewalks. They baaed their request on an old English lawwhich decreed that doctors shouldmake calls using the shortest poss­ ible distance. The petition awaited action be­cause the mayor and other membersof council were in Buffalo i:\pecting road machines. Bicycles could bebought for $12 and advertisementsprolaimed the advantages of auto­matic -whistle cycle alarms. The world was still a year away from the 20th Century. There wereno aei I planes, automobiles or radios. The rich goldfields of Northern, On­ tario and Quebec lay hidden in awilderness of muskeg and blackfles.With only five million people, Can­ada was still a country of farms and forests. Saskatchewan and Albertawere six yers away from becomingprovinces. From Manitoba to the Rockies there were only 100,000 settlers, sparsely scattered acrosstw'o million square miles.A 25-year-old student, William Lyon Mackenzie King was at Har- vard, where he planned to lecture inpolitical economy. Out in the cow town of Calgary, a young lawyer, Richard BedfordBennett, had just been elected to thelegislature of the iNorth West Terri­ tories. Men’s elastic-sided boots were$2.50 and a lady’s fur-lined cape cost $15. There was no income tax, and the cost of federal government came to less than $8 a head. TheToronto World, dead these manyyears, had the largest circulation of any morning paper in Canada, andHenty had just written three newbooks for boys. No one had heard of a Yukon bank clerk named Robert Service. Within Canada there was restlessexpansion, ferment, the pushingback of frontiers. The young giant was nearing manhood. At Niagara Falls a new suspensionbridge was begun and there was a bread war. The price of a loaf drop­ ped fnj.n six cents to one and a halfcents. The Crow’s Nest Pass overthe Rockies was opened to rail traffic, and the CjPiR. imported Swiss guides to teach mountainclimbing at Banff. In the west therewas talk about opening a Hudson’sBay route to Britain, and Toronto city council set aside $5,000 to learnthe best route to James Bay. Be­cause the telegraph line to Dawson City wasn’t completed young Mike Mahoney raced to Vancouver in therecord time of 14 days with themessage that 3,000 gold seekers were on the verge of starvation. PennyPostage was introduced on lettersto Britain and the United States.The stage was set for the predic­ tion of Sir Wilfred Laurier that "the Twentieth Century belongs to Can­ada." Early in 1899 Cecil Rhodes assert- i cd confidently that there was no possibility of war with the Trans­vaal. Yet before the year was out,the first Canadian troops over to fight abroad had sailed for SouthAfrica. They were equipped in Can­ada, newspapers of the iay reportingproudly that “Fine elastic was used in their braces”. Their .wives at home received a separation allow­ance of 15 cents a day, with fivecents for each child under 16. It marked the end of an era andthe beginning of a new age.In a King Street 'building inIngersoll, milk from the cows of Ox­ ford county bubbled in evaporators. Tin-making machines pounded witha steady rhythm and out in thecountry, horses and carts were rumbling over dirt roads, the clat­ ter of tin cans punctuating thepounding of steel shoes. Here, where the daily output of thousands of cows found its / ay in­ to tins and formed a substantial partof Ingersoll’s monthly exports, anew chapter in Canadian dairying industry began. For here, what is norw The Borden Company, Limited, began, with Ing­ersoll providing the starting pointfor the second lap in . a venture which had its beginning many years before in-a man’s desjre to give theworld condensed milk.-(‘“The Riverof Milk” The Borden Co. Ltd..1949.) Ingersoll PlantWas Start OfBorden’s in Canada“From a sheet of Un to a can ofmilk in less than an hour and un­ touched by anyone,” was the way a Tribune reporter described the workcarried on by the Borden Co. a few years ago. Built in 1899 by the St.Charles Condensing Company, theIngersoll plant was purchased by Borden’s—its first Canadian factory. The plant was about half the size itis now and employed 25 or 30 menand 8 or 10 girls. In 1949 the Borden Co. cele­brated its 50th anniversary in Can­ada. Among events in the celebration was a special radio broacast. Guests of honour on this programme wereJames G. Milne, superintendent ofthe Ingersoll plant, and then, Bor­ den’s oldest employee, (Mr. Milne isnow retired), a|d Byron G. Jenvey,one of Borden’s first Canadian pro­ducers. The plant is still situated in thesame position on King St. West.Their work is the processing of milk into evaporated and condensed milk,malted milk, chocolate malted milkand Hemo. Today there are 60 working in the plant The actual Borden business is Canada-wide andemploys over 3000. In the “River of Milk” (Borden Co. Ltd., 1949), the Borden Co.states: “While the Borden Co. inthe United States dates its birthdayback to 1857—in Canada we date our start from the commencementdate in Ingersoll, Ontario, in 1899,of the first plant we acquired inCanada.” Ingersoll can be proud of the fact that this Canadian Companyrecognizes this century-old town asits birthplace. New Idea FurnacesKnown for ValueAcross CanadaWhen the Gurney-Tilden Co.Hamilton ceased * ‘ •of—------- -------- manufacturing,Fred C. Moore, brought the heatingdivision of that plant to Ingersoll.Employing approximately 27 and in­stalled in the former Noxon factory onThames Street this was the begin­ ning of the New Idea Furnaces Ltd.The name “New Idea” waa patent­ ed in Canada in 1908. When Mr.Moore brought the plant to Ingersollhe kept the name and added Ltd.The plant has quadrupled in sizesince its beginning in 1926. In the year of the flood in Ingersoll, only alittle more than a decade later, themnagement found it necessary to acquire more space. Consequentlythey purchased their Charles Streetbuilding, which had formerly been owned-by the Jas. A. Cole Co.The number of employees varies from time to time, but an averagenumber is 65, according to D. G. Ness.Mr. Moore retired in September 1951 and A. S. Hallamore is nowgeneral manager.New Idea Furnaces are shipped all over Canada and the name “NewIdea” hasy long been synonymouswith good/tfalue. Ingersoll Signatures Are On Deed For P. T. Walker Store The Preston Walker furniturestore on Thames Street is believed tohave been a furniture store for nearly 100 years and often Mr. Walker willhave a customer tell that his grand­ parents or great-grandparents boughtthe furniture for their homes at thevery same spot Mr. Walker has the deed for theland which was sold by James Inger­soll to James Carnegie on June 30, 1840 and the sale was witnessed byJ. H. Ingersoll and John Ingersoll.The payment was to be £35, 5s, in the lawful money of Upper Canada forthe land situated in the village ofIngersoll, District of Brock. It is interesting that only fournames have appeared on ownershippapers. Samuel Poole bought theproperty about 1853 and it remainedin the Poole family until Mr. Walker purchased it in 1947. In addition to the Walker Store, the property in­cludes that occupied by the Metropoli­tan Store. James McIntyre, Ingersoll’s famed“Cheese Poet” conducted a furniture and undertaking business there dur­ing the latter half of the past cen­tury. His step sons, Alonzo and George Walker carried on after hisdeath in 1906 for a few years. Theywere succeeded by the partnership of R. A. Skinner and F. W. Keeler andlater by Mr. Keeler alone. Mr.Walker succeeded Mr. Keeler in 1934.

The building was in the same block as the present one is.The Morrow Co., like our town,has progressed and expanded through the years. It now employsapproximately 400. The office build­ ing on the corner of Thames St. N.and Carnegie, is situated where theformer JBeckes Lumber Yard was. Present floor space is approximately ten times greater than that of 1887. They have four plants: Plant No- 1 is “Screws and Nuts”, number two,“cold punch nuts”, number three, twist drills; number 4, “cold draw­ ing.” The main manufactures now are automatic screw machine parts. A large per centage of their pro­ducts goes to automobiles. Mr. Fred .Rich, a i ...................................

Sledge Hammer To Crushing Plant At Chemical Lime When Charles Downing opened hislime quarry at Beachville in Novem­ ber 1929 there were four employees.Nearly all the work was done by hand and they had a small acreage inwhich to work. Sixteen years later,in October of 1945 Chemical Lime Ltd. took over the quarry. Todaythere are 44 on the pay roll andChemical Lime Ltd. owns 400 acres. Back in the early days the menbroke the rocks with sledge ham­ mers. -The rock was loaded on a wag­on and the horses pulled it to an oldderrick. The derrick bucket was dropped, the stone loaded thenhauled to the top with hand-operatedpulleys. In October 1950 work began on anew limestone crushing plant with an estimated cost of $750,000. Thisplant is completely mechanical and isrecognized as the most modern stonecrushing plant in North America.They have three 15-ton Euclid Dieseltrucks and a 25-ton Diesel locomo­ tive, a D-7 bulldozer and two big 22and 29T drills, along with a threeand one-quarter yard electric shovel to do the work that was done withnothing but “man power” 23 years ago.The business which started with avery small acreage, is now bounded by the North American Cyanamid onthe east, extends west to Stones, andsouth to the CPR tracks and north to the first concession on North Oxfordand plays a very important role inthe industries of the town.

The Ingersoll Tribune, Thursday, August 28, 1952Pleasure in RecallOf To wn’s History• (continued from page 10) and a moat disastrous one for Inger-■oll 1872 in thia year early in Maywe were the sufferers by fire of themoat extensive and disastrous in ourhistory. Both sides of Thames St.from Charles St. on the east side to the Caledonia Block and on the westaide about the same distance fromCharles St., with the loss of two lives.The fin started in the barn of theHotel formerly called the “RoyalExchange”*, a large frame buildingtwo stories in height and with a highpitched roof which was continuedover the verandah which extended thefull length of the front with upperfloor an<] protected by a balustradenearly breast high, ornamented" withturned pillars. The gwell of tbe pillarswould be about four feet in ‘’diametercapped with a rail about six inch by four inch rounded top. The massiveposts, which carried the roof as wellas the verandah, were one foot squareand tapered slightly. The pillarsforming the balustrade were alwayspainted white whatever the otherparts of the building would be. Thesign, erected on a substantial post just off the sidewalk, was of the regulation type of the period and carrieda swinging sign which was decoratedwith the picture of Queen Victoria on one side and Prince Albert on theother. Beneath the pictures were the words, “Royal Exchange” in gold let­ters. This was a stage calling placeand a rival of the Carroll Hotel onKing Street. It did its trade chieflywith the people from the North andwas well patronised. It occupied thesite of our Post Office and was thescene of our public gatherings.There speakers would address the people. The writer well remembersthe election of D. Connor, 1858, “byone single vote”. On this occasionEdward Blake (a nephew of D. Con­nor), when a young man just cominginto public prominence, addressedthe people from the balcony. It was on occasions such as this the peoplelet loose. The bar of this ancient hos­ telry was a large room and could ac­commodate a great number. It washeated in winter from an immensefire place on the north end of thebuilding which was frequently sup­ plied with a back log of about two ft. One of Ingersoll’s better ball teams, we are sure.

The old house,as the years passed, lost its standingand was finally referred to as the "Bummers' Roost.” It was in thebarn of this building the fire origin­ated. Our fire extinguisher appara­tus was the old hand engine of whichIngersoll possessed two, which wasunable to handle the situation. Lon­don and Woodstock responded noblyand were the means of saving whatwas left of Thames St. 1872 the Noxon Works removed to their present site. Before referringto the above, it would seem to be afitting occasion toi refer to the earl­ ier history of this institution. To doso we must return to the history of the founder, James Noxon andagain we are brought into contactwith that earlier element in our pop­ ulation that has proved its value instill earlier days. The subject of thisbrief sketch became a resident of Ingersoll in the early 50‘s. Hisfirst occupation was as a clerk in thehardware business of Mr. W. East­wood, but realizing the opportunity ofengaging in the manufacture of farmmachinery with his brother, Samuel,commence,) operations on the presentsite of our Furniture Factory. Inthis situation they produced many lines of agricultural machinery —wood sawing machines, reapers andmowers. It is not alone in his rela­ tion to his business as a manufactur­er we must regard him. His abilitywas directed into every channel ofour progress in public affairs, and inthe interest he took in our dairy bus­ iness, and it was to him, as president of our organization for the promo­ tion of this trade, that it owes much to its earliest success. He gave this subject a leadership that overcame many of the difficulties that are sure to arise in any enterprise in its initialstages. To Mr. Noxon we owe thesecuring of the Credit Valley Rail­way Connection which ultimately ex­tended to St. Thomas. Mr. James Noxon was married to MargaretMcDonald, (daughter of John Mc­ Donald Esq., now deceased, one ofour oldest and most respected citi­zens.) The family consisted of Mrs.(Dr.) Canfield, (now deceased), W, C. Noxon, Commissioner for Immi­gration for Dominion Government,Samuel Noxon, who represents Stan­ dard Oil in China,, Miss Nellie NoxonIngerrull. The Noxon family havehere a lasting reminder of their for­ mer citizenship in their former home,now’ the Alexandra Hospital. On theoccupation of their now extensivepremises, the firm became the NoxonMfg. Co. Ltd., James Noxon presi­dent, and with the increased facilities the business advanced until it wasgiving employment to from 200 to300 men which was of great benefitto the Town. With our entrance into the decadeof the 80's, a spirit of advancementappears to have been developed, pos­sibly through the conviction that astable government with a fixe,} policyunder an accepted leader had inspired the confidence of the people to ven­ture on the necessary undertakings.It was during this decade that Inger­ soll became the location of those ofour most important industries thatare of great benefit to us to-day.With the water supply, the railway who had accompanied tha former’sdaughter, Mrs, Eli Mertlck and Mr.Marti ok, on a three week trip toSaskatchewan and Alberta, returnedhome on Saturday.Mw Kathryn Pinter, son Johnand (Master Steve Mura, visited Mr.and Mrs. J.

Arrangements for the Sunday events are being handled bythe Council of Churches.Bright and early Monday morningwhistles and bells will inform thecitizens that “their day” is starting.The morning belongs to the children, but it is doubtful that many adultswill be able to resist the parade, theraces and the big pet show planned. The mammoth parade of floats,cars and practically every otherknown (and even unknown, wehear), vehicle is scheduled for one o’clock. Indications are that this willbe one of the high points of theday. The parade will lead the way to Victoria Park where there is to be a fashion parade that will portraythe ladies and gentlemen of earlyIngersoll. Before the grandstand Mayor T.

H. Albrough Jr. Challenges T. R. Lee About Distances The Ingersoll sign referred to by Mr. T Lee which reads 3700 miles from the sign post at Watson Lakeon the Alaska Highway was placedthere in 1946 by WO2 E. H. Al­ brough.Mr. Albrough points out a fewfacts to our travelling ex-editor. Hesays “it is obvious that Mr. Lee took the long way around, as WatsonLake is at approximately mile 635on the Alaska Highway which startsat Dawson Creek. Dawson Creek is 495 miles from Edmonton and Ed­monton is approximately 2400 milesfrom Ingersoll ria No. 2 Highway, UjS.A. This does not quite add up to 5000 miles.”According to an article appearingelsewhere in this issue, Mr. Lee should soon be home to explain. ADAM OLIVER A message from the Mayor It is with a great deahof pleasure that I, on behalf of myself and Council, respond to the request‘to supply a brief message for publication at this time, commemor­ ating the Centennary of Ingersoll. It is an added and unique pleasure to pay tribute to the great contributions made by pioneer men and women to the spiritual, social and economic welfare of this-community. There is no yard-stick by which the value of the great lessons of hardships, tolerance and mutual respect of by-gone days can be measured, or by which can be gauged their great influences, other than we, who are embarking on the next century strive our utmost to further'xthese ideals for the betterment of our community.

First in 29 Years Salford Wins Dereham Trophy Taking the play-off gam es------Mount Elgin three straight, Salfordon Saturday afternoon won the Dere­ ham Baseball League champinship. Acrowd of about 350 saw the gameplayed at the Salford diamond. ReeveH. R. McBeth of Dereham Townshippresented the trophy given by the township council to Fred Gregg, man­ager of the Salford team, noting thatit was the first time in 29 year8 that Salford had won the championship.The team took 20 out of 25 games played this year.Play was closer than the 12-5 scoreindicated, since all Salford runs were scored in three big innings^-The hometeam, however left little dobbt that they were out to win, and all membersoutplayed themselves in support oftheir* starry pitcher, Everett Wilson. Playing Saturday for Salford were:Bill Ranney catcher; Jim Huntley,1st base; Fred Gregg, 2nd btpe; Stan Wilson, short stop; Lawrence Dur­ham, 3rd base; Ivan Baskett, right field; Ron Gregg, centre and KeithWilson, left field.

Meet Lbcal swimmers made an excellentshowing at the Western Ontario Swimming championships at Londonon Saturday. The meet is sponsoredby the London Recreation Commission and run by the London Y.M.C.A.The meet saw swimming of a gener­ally high calibre and the judges had a headache all the way through indeciding the closely contested races.Ingersoll’s John Thompson wasthird in the 100-yard free style, butwas beaten only by such swimmers be London’s John Thompson who hasjust recently finished a serious periodof training for the Olympic try-outs, and Paul Houke winner of last:year’sC.N.E. one-mile swim, in which hehad stiff international competition. Ingersoll’s Thompson has only hadtwo months’ training and actuallyhas devoted little time to it this sum­ mer. His showing indicates that withyear-roun<Tserious training he would,in all likelihood, he one of the coun­ try’s outstanding swimmers.Ron Billings sprung a surprise inwinning the breaststroke for boys un­ der 17 in the fast time of 34 seconds,and finishing second in the boys’ 75-yard free style in good time. LarryRoss turned in his usual good per­formance in the backstroke, but hadto be content with a second. r.eu'j ■MacEwan put the girls on the score sheet %ith & third in thebreaststroke. -- - - r _ xrum upowura, inquuiiig ua LUTwelve pools were represent^i-<tJ my busineas.

Carnival Prize To Alaska Governor? Special to The Tribune Juneau, Alaska—We had a fewmoments early one morning in this, the capital of Alaska, so Stevie andI made a quick dash up to the gov­ernor’s mansion to see if he mightbe home. The governor is Dr. ErnestGruening, and, according to thedriver, “a darn nice guy.” He thought the governor would be athome and especially to a visitorfrom so far away.A couple of rings produced ahouseboy, who said yes, GovernorGruening was in, but he was still in bed, he thought. A few momentslater he was back, saying the gover­nor was just rising and was there anything he could do. I told himabout the carnival being put on bythe Kiwanis Club- in Ingersoll, and I wanted to present the governorwith a book of tickets and get hissignature on the stubs. The houseboy was finding this a bit tough to ab­sorb and just then a blast went upfrom the Prince* Louise, indicatingdeparture in Ifi.-.'tainutcs, whichdidn’t assist my state of mind a bitJust (when we had decided we would have to flee for the ship andforget the tickets, h lady’s voicecame from upatalrs, inquiring as to Fine Program For 105th Annual Fair For the 105th year the people ofthis comunity will meet together forthe annual fall fair, when the Inger­soll, North and West Oxford Agri­ cultural Society’s exhibition is held next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Cole Co- Ltd., started in 1887 as a furni­ture factory owned by a Mr. Haultit was purchased by the Ellis family at the turn of the century and thensold to the late James A. Cole in1927. In 1932, when all businesses weresuffering from the depression, a visitor to Ingersoll suggested to'Mr. Cole that he start making caskets—not ordinary caskets, but ones ofhighest quality. His advice was taken and shortly after this the IngersollCasket Co. became a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of the Jarno® A. Cole Co. Casket production now forma themajor part of the output and casketsfrom this Thame* Street South fac­ tory are dirtribnted across the Do­minion. Products From Cyanamid Quarry Of Wide Variety When North American CyanamidLimited took over the former Down­ing’s Beachville White Lime in1929 there were 75 working there. In 23 years that number has onlybeen increased to 81. However, withthe introduction of modem equip­ment, tonnage hoy been substantially increased to half a million.It is startling to realize that thethousands of tons of raw rock taken from a depth of sometimes 70 feetcan be pounded, crushed, and pul­verized and later emerge as glass windows, fertilizer and congoleum flooring as .well as the more obviousproducts of cement making plantsand construction companies. In this way deposits taken from a richly gifted earth are used both tomake the now-necessary convenien- i ces in a home and to give back to the earth some of its original fer-> tility. eties of handwork. These exhibits will be in the “Palace”. There are to be competitions invarious classes for Holstein, JerseyAyrshire and Guernsey cattle and it is expected that the county’s reputa­tion for fine daisy cpttlp will be up­held by the entries. There are both heavy and light horse classes and also pony classes, and there areprizes for swine and sheep. The Ing­ersoll Kiwanis Calf Club achieve­ ment day program will be an import­ant feature.In addition the Society, workingunder president Harry Ellery has planned such special features as theBaby Show, with prizes for babiesunder six months and under oneyear. There will also be a pet show. On Wednesday afternoon there is a good program of trotting eventsfor race lovers and also two ponyrace -event*. Both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, Lucky Lott andhis Hell Drivers will provide thrillsand excitement in front of the grand­stand.

After Jim Matthew had lost everysingle bit of his com to maraudingcoons, the little animals had lost their charm and Jim’s father, Earl, de­cided to try and trap them and movethem to far places. One night ho heard the trap spring and immedi­ately went down to the garden to getthe captive. He didn’t realize whathe wa8 getting into. The captive hadreserves and when Mr. Matthews ap­ proached three other coons came upover the bank from the pond readyfor action and uttering squeals thatsounded just like a bunch of child­ren. Mr. Matthews’ only weapon wasa flashlight, but fortunately, the light frightened them and they fled.He took the coon into the house putit into a boiler, with a box over it and held down by a piece of heavysteeliail and went to bed. A few minuteslater they heard a noise, but decided it was outside and ignored it; but inthe morning they found Mr. Coon wa8 Four Generations Have Carried On Stone’s Business “Serving Oxford County fo r ___ 80 Years”, is the true slogan of Wil­liam Stone Sons Limited.When .William Stone Sr. be­ gan in Woodstock in 1870, he con­fined his business to dealing in hides,skins and wool. In 1911 the companywas incorporated under its present name—William Stone Sons Limited,and a fertilizer and sales plant wasbuilt at Ingersoll. Since then Inger­soll has been the headquarters for __________________________ commercial fertilizers sold under i missing, and he had gotten out sothe name “National Fertilizers.” ------’ * • • •In 1917 it became necessary toextend the original plant—again in 1926 and again one year later. In1937 the company commenced man­ufacture of feeding concentrates.During this period the company opened a packing department formeat to be supplied to mink andfox ranchers. In 1948 a large partof the plant was remodelled to allow for further expansion. Thehide and wool business was contin­ued along with the rendering oper­ations. In 1949 the company marked its 80th birthday. In January of thatyear, Heath Stone, president, an­nounced to the press “We proudlyannounce the completion of our ex­ pansion program, which makes Wil­liam Stone Sons Limited < the mostmodern fertilizer plant in Canada.” There are about 160 employees at the plant at the present time.In 1950 the office was enlargedand remodelled to care for expan­ sion of business.

A young man at the lodge where we camped one' night invited us to go down to a stream at the end of th® lake. It was swarm­ ing with big red sockeye salmon. Earlier they had (been so plentiful, said Warren Tillman, he could havewalked across on their backs with­out getting his feet wet These fish, a brilliant red, had climbed many hundreds of miles from the sea, and were now approaching the end oftheir life cycle. They only had ashort distance to go now, up a rag­ ing mountain stream to a quiet mountain lake, where the femalewould lay her thousands of eggs, the male would fertilize them, and thenboth would die. Later on, lunchingat the edge of the highway, we wat­ ched more of their brethren labor­iously wiggling their way almost asthough on foot up the stream totheir last lake.One of the most amusing Incidentsoccurred on this stretch too.

A. P. Barker claims to have found the answer to the question whichhas been bothering our town forsome time—how do you get rid of a skunk without odoriferous results?Monday night Mr. Barker wentinto his garage to pick up a tool hewanted. He noted a tail sticking out from under his car, wondered whata dog was doing there and startedon. Then he realized that few dogs have such bushy, white tails and went back for a quick peek. Sureenough, it was a healthy and appar­ ently contented specimen of polecat Mr. Barker withdrew prudentlyand went to the house to tell hiswife about their guest She was fin­ ally persuaded to come out to have a look, but by then the skunk haddisappeared. They did not think hecould have left the garage and a smoothly that he had barely movedthe boiler and not disturbed the boxor rail. P. M.

At the lovely Tuckerproperty, site of the course, thework of removing fences and cuttinggrass began this week. The layout of the proposed course has beenstaked out temporarily and will bechecked by experts for its suitability. The directors of the club have ex­pressed the hope that enough pre­liminary work will be completed thisfall that play can begin next spring. This would necessarily be on tempor­ary greens, but those eager to getstarted on golf, will be willing to overlook that minor inconvenience. curled up comfortably, ready to spend the night.

Based on Department of Highway records, ths Minister George H. Doucett states: ‘‘There is a tragic likelihood that no les* than 25 people will be killed and some 500 in­ jured in motor vehicle accident* this coming holi­ day week-end in Ontario." Motor fatalities, from Friday to Tuesday mom- - iDg in the last three year* were: 1949—23 deaths; 1959—427 desths; 1951—24 deaths. Some 20 people are injured for every one killed, several of thes^Mually crippled for life.Making the Labour Day accident outlook worse 1* the recent uptrend in traffic volume and acciden­ tal death* Despite province-wide safety efforts, more extensive than ever before, July traffic deaths in Ontario set a new high at 112. The last week-end of that month took 21 lives from dawn on Friday to midnight on Sunday. With both Canada and the States celebrating Labour Day, thia week-end presents a huge com­ bination of accident-producing conditions; Mil­ lions of peojfle on the move, taking advantage of the last week-end of summer; border traffic at its heaviest; hundreds of thousands of summer vaca­ tioners returning home with loaded cars; and in Ontario, a big movement of people to and from the Canadian National Exhibition. Right after Labour Day comes .the opening of school* and another big traffic safety problem— some 100,000 youngsters going to school for the first time, along with some 750,000 older children. LKOKDV9 BACKIn the File* ofThe Ingersoll Tribune Ingersoll - Ontario 51 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1952 “To Hold as It Were, a Mirror . . .. ” The Tribune's memory does not go back as far as 100 years. The first issue was on Wednesday, December 17, 1873. For nearly 80 years, then, it has reflected the town and its people, and if it missed those wonderful, early pioneers who found­ ed Ingersoll, it has told the story of those who built upon their foundations. Looking back over those years, we feel that the citizens of Ingersoll have much of which to be proud. The newspapers of the 80 year* have not, perhaps, reported many world-shaking events, but they do tell of people twho have strived to make their town a good place in which to live. There have been troubles, of course, but they have been "healthy” ones that have come with growth and advancement and have (been met fair and square. There have been three wars in that time and in each Ingersoll’s record has been a fine one. So many of our boys have served willingly; our fac­ tories have set records in production; our people have supported the war effort to the fullest. The papers report the personal joys and sorrows of the people and because we are a comparatively small community, they have been the happinesses and sadnesses of us all. . They tell of change in the way of living—and of the resistance that usu­ ally greeted such change. They tell of our schools and churches, of various organizations that have devoted time and energy to town projects. In short, the newspapers describe us, as we are. We hope the Tribune will go on for many years reporting and reflecting Ingersoll and that the record^ will always be something to be proud of. What Others Say Slow Down - Say Hello Residents of large cities are used to going to work every day {without seeing a person they know. There are miles of roads and thousands of people, but each individual seems to build a shell of aloofness, ignoring their fellow man as much as possible. This contamination so far has not reached the* smaller centres. Men and women who have lived their lives in large cities, express amazement after visiting the smaller places and having complete strangers speak or nod to them on the street Some clailn they would not live in a small com­ munity where everyone knows their business. What they fail to realize is that their neighbors would not know their business purely out of cur­ iosity, but because they could lend a hand if any­ thing went wrong. In the large places it is unusual to even know your next door neighbors. In the small commun­ ity you know everyone for miles around. Did you ever stop to think how little effort is required to say hello, or to stop and chat for a couple of minutes. Friends have gone through an entire lifetime with no more than a cheery word or t,wo passed on the street, yet were secure in the knowledge that in the other man they did have a friend they could call ojt if necessary. —Waterloo Chronicle- 24 Killed Last Year; ?This Year....

At the time, the nearest church was in Beachville, but In theearly *40*s a frame church.was builton John street, near the present day St. Joseph’s Convent For manyyears the church was served by Client* waithx far EARL BRADY travelling priest* from Brantford.Then in 1850, Father Moyanahanbecame the first resident priest. The present, beautiful building ofthe Sacred Heart Church was builtin 1878 and remains ewentially the ■ame, although the interior has beenredecorated several times and therehave been new pews, a new floor, a new organ and other improvement*.The first parish school was in aconverted home on -Carnegie street. It was opened shortly after the first church There were lay teachers forseveral years until the covnent wasestablished. Later a school was builton John street between where theconvent and Pariah Hall now stand.In 1920, the old Rumsey house, next to the church was (purchased for aschool and was opened fully in 1921.Father Boubat was the priest when the new church was built. Hewas followed by Father Morphy,Father Connolly, Fathr Ford, Father Hogan and Father Guam.

Knox was . the “Free Church”, one of several t groups within the Presbtyerian, Church.During I860 and 1851, several ‘ families which Had been connectedwith the "United Predbyterians,”1 another of the groups, moved into ; the community. In 1852' they organ­ised and in January 1855, Rev.Archibald .Gross (became their first ’ minister. They built Etokine Churchon Charles Street West, on the siteI now occupied by the Reaver Lumber‘ Company. One of the first to be• baptized in thia church was thedaughter of Mr. and Mrs. JohnCraig - - known to us all as Inger­ soll's Mrs. Grace Smith, who hasjust celebrated her 97th birthday.Both congregations flourished, but it yas felt that it was uniwise to havetwo of the same denomination, andin 1883 the two united. The unionwas not without controversy, andsome members again withdrew toform a separate group. Complete union was not accomplished until 1889 and Rev. E. R Hutt becamethe minister. Knox congregation had•built the church on*Thames streetand it was now named St. (Paul’s and ! the church changed and enlarged.Rev. A. Bright was called on thedeath of Mr. Hutt in 1906 and re­mained until 1914. Rev. Ronald Maclcod was minister from 1914 to1919, serving as chaplain overseasfor a short period; Rev.

Fred, with his friendAlvin Macnab of Woodstock, took the old model car on a 2000 mile journeyand returned reporting a wonderfultrip, with the car giving 25 miles toa gallon of gas. The boys left on August 3rd, went through Sarnia to Michigan, throughBay City to Saulte Ste. Marie, acrossto North Bay, down the Ottawa Val­ley, to Peterborough to Toronto and were home on August 16th. They refuse to boast about thejr camp-style cooking, but neither suf­fered any ill effects. As for sleepingaccomodation, all the boys searched for was a parking place beside a tree. They had navy hammocks, andone hitch attached to the car. Thetree was necessary to provide some­ thing to hang the other end of thehammocks on.And the trip, which provided themwith all aorta of interesting sight­ seeing and fun, cost them only $140.

Early Preachers Helped Form Methodist Groups In the early days of the 19th cen­ tury Rev. Nathan Bangs, one of the aid-time ^'sadtBe-missionaries” wastravelling from community to com­munity preaching the Gospel when­ever he found a few settlers. On the first day of August 1801 Mr. Bangsrode into the settlement of Oxford.Many of the settlers who came toOxford County with Thomas Ingersoll were former members of a Methodist Episcopal Church and they gave Mr.Bangs a hearty welcome and aidedhim in the formation of the first Methodist Church in this community. From this time until 1812 theMethodist Episcopal congregationwas kept together for their religious services by their own leaders and were visited from time to time by Mr.Bangs and other travelling ministersNearly all these ministers came fromthe United States and when the war of 1812 started they were ordered to leave this country. Local teacherscarried on their work.During this period the only place of worship was an old log school onthe site of the present Victory Mem­orial School. In 1820 the Pipins,Galloways, Burdicks and many others erected a log building for church ser­vices near the present site of theWest Oxford Church. In 1823, the West Oxford Church was transfer­ red from the Galloway property tothe trustees of the Methodist Episco­pal church. From 1823 to 1840-50 the religiousservices in Ingersoll centred aroundthe West Oxford Church but the otherbranches of the Methodist church were more organised and were visitedmore frequently by travellingpreachers. During the rapid expansion in trade in the 1840-1866 period, churcheswere built and among these were sev­eral Mathodist Churches. The Metho­dist Episcopal Church was situatedon Charles St, on the grounds wherethe armory is now. It wag a frameerection, built in 1841 at a cost of 31600. It held 300. The WesleyanMethodist, on Oxford Street, was abrick, building, built in 1855 at a costof 32500. It seated 500. The British Methodist Episcopal Church wassupported by the Negro populationin the town. This Church was onCatharine Stret According to the census of 1861 the Methodist religion had 810 fol­lowers in Ingersoll. From time to time the differentbranches of the church united until the King Street Methodist Church formed a single congregation. In1925 after the union of Methodistsnnd some Presbyterians this becameTrinity United Church. Rev. C. D. Daniel, present ministerof the Church, haa served here since1938. During the war Mr. Danielwas overseas and Rev. Harold Parr took over his duties until his return. Rev. R. A. Facey is the assistant minister. MRS. EMIN HOSSACK ST.

BELL STREET PHONE 134 INGERSOLL IS BACKACHE KIDNEY ROUBLE? By John McRae, D.C. Many • people have the idea thatbackache is caused by kidney ail­ment and they take something topurge the kidneys, but many timesthe backache is persistent even after such measures are taken. In reality, very few backaches are caused by the kidneys for only in rare kidney diseases is there any pain whateverin the back. Pain or backache between thehips and in the lower part of theback is caused by a misplaced spinal joint, and to be permanently rid of the persistent, nagging backache, the cause of the weakness must be dealtwith. A man, aged 80, recently com­plained about a backache he had ex­perienced four years. Thorough chiropractic examination ''revealed decided curvature of the spine, pinching vital nerves In lower back, which was basic cause of pain. The sroine was straightened by pain­ less chiropractic adjustments. Pat­ient noticed relief the second daynnd at the end of six weeks all back­ache was gone. Remember that a few backaches are caused by kid-eys, but are basically caused by mis­placed spinal joints and your chiro­practor specializes in correction ofthese conditions.

In 1890 a church, seating 500. wae built andin January 1891 was officially dedi­cated, taking the name “TabernacleChurch.” This was a definite step forward for tho church. However in1898, during the Rev- Junes Grant’sministry, the church was hit by lightning and only the walls wereleft standing. Tile insurance paid the mortgage which had been held on the churchand now the congregation faced aseemingly impossible task of build­ing a new church On what remained of the old. (However the funds wereraised by subscription and in Feb­ruary 1899, the new red brick churchwas dedicated. Further changes were . not made until 1946 when extensive 1 alterations were completed. 1 The 20 ministers (jvho have served ,Ingersoll's Baptist Church during its ,94-year history are: George Wilson . 1858; Thomas Baldwin 1864; John ' Dempsey 1868 ; 6.
