W. Stewart, chairman ofthe board, and members G. B. Henry, George Clifton and C. A. Ackert, and supervising principal,A. G. Murray attended the councilmeeting. Mr. Stewart presented abrief, emphasizing the need and outlining the proposed plans. For some time the board has been deeply concerned over the accom­modation situation, Mr. Stewartpointed out. Some years ago theaddition to Princess Elizabeth School was built and it has looked after the increasing school popula­tion fairly well up to the present.He quoted figures which showedthe increase in kindergarten enrol­ ment. About 15 years ago, there were 65 to 75 first-year pupils. It is estimated that in 1957 there willbe 150, and that total enrolment inthe schools will reach 1140 by thatyear. For efficient teaching, authori­ ties say there should not be morethan 35 pupils per room. Now,with 26 rooms and an enrolment of1053, there are from eight' to 10 more pupils in each room than is considered wise. All room avail­ able for expansion is now in useand the board believes that by Sep­tember it will be impossible to ar­ range accommodation. For these reasons, and after careful consideration, the board hasconcluded that the wisest course isthe building of a new school unit. There is not sufficient room at either of the existing schools for further additions. With the wel­fare of the whole town in mind, athree-acre site on King Street East,property owned by Miss Leila Law has been optioned and the proposal is that a complete four-room unit be built there, with three class­rooms and a kindergarten. Follow­ing a plan that has proved success­ ful in other towns, all grade 7 and 8 pupils in town would attend Victory Memorial School, whereprovision is already made forspecial subjects such as household economics and shop work. At Princess Elizabeth School and at the proposed new school, therewould be all grades from kinder­garten to grade 6.Mr. Stewart made it clear that the selection of the site was one considered best for the welfare ofthe whole town. On the figures ofthe school census, it is estimatedthere are enough children in the area bounded by Canterbury, Hall, Carroll and Charles Streets to fillthe grades of the new school.Council was told that the esti­mated cost of the school, including the site, kindergarten equipment and furnishings is $82,600. A partof this amount will draw a govem- ment grant and Mr. Stewart noted that this year the amount had been 28%.“The board members, who repre-1 sent the people of Ingersoll, areall taxpayers. They are as anxioust' as any to- keep the tax burden at . a minimum; but children must be . accommodated. There are other , things less dangerous to neglect1 than the training and education of ii our children,” Mr. Stewart urged. I The board chairman also pointed out, that due to the careful hus- i banding of their resources, the board expect to have enough money; on hand at the end of this yeari to purchase the property. Questions put to the board by council members included one from Mayor Morrison re the sewage andMr. Stewart said that Mr. Seath,town engineer, had been consultedand it was considered that a feas­ible plan could be worked out at reasonable cost. Councillor Norman Pembleton noted that the estimated cost ofthe proposed school unit was lowerthan the cost of the addition toPrincess Elizabeth School five years ago. Gordon Henry explained that at that time, in addition to the five-room addition, the heatingsystem of the whole school had beencompletely renovated. Mr. Stewart added that in the past year there has been a noticeable decline in the prices tendered by contractors. In reply to the mayor’s question, IMr. Stewart stated that in the pro­posed plan, there is a 3600 square foot instructional area and a 3200 square foot auxiliary area (hall­ ways, toilets, heating areas, etc.).Estimated cost of $82,600 includesthat of $5600 for furniture andequipment and $4000 for the site, including costs. Mr. Morrison thanked the board for the fine presentation of theirbrief. It was pointed out that the board will first have to have preliminary ’ approval from the department of ;education; then council will haveto seek tentative approval from the jOntario Municipal Board, after, which the school board may go; ahead with plans, specifications iand costs.

As the speaker for the club's annual “Support of Churches" meeting, Mr. Ellis reminded his hearers that in the excitement of having the best business of the year, in the round of festivities, it is easy to forget the real meaning of Christmas. Yet, first and fore­ most it is a religious festival. Mr. Ellis said that when the Man, whowas bom as a Babe in Bethlehem,died, he had probably 500 fol­lowers. Since that time millionshave loved Him, been (willing to live and die for Him.' “I would state," said Mr. Ellis, “that all the main movements forthe amelioration of human suffer­ing since that time, have been made by the followers of Christ."He further pointed out that the basis of the democratic form of government is the Christian re­ligion. But while millions have accept­ed Christ and other millions reco­gnize Him, He is Still rejected asmuch today as at any time, Mr.Ellis believes. Sixty per cent ofthe people of the world todaylive under the domination of thetotalitarian powers and eyen in our own country materialism isrampant. “We have a world atwar," said Mr. Ellis. “When six-ty per cent of the people are sub­mitting to atheistic communism,we are in rebellion against God. We are living in a world of fear.Man, above all else today is striv­ing for security." But in thisvery condition, Mr. Ellis sees that Christianity is not a failure, forhe sees in it just what Christ pre­dicted—the world in turmoil, theChurch in peril. “But God. has a (Continued on page 10) PENTECOSTAL TABERNACLE “The Greatest Gift", was the subject of the morning address by Rev. Andrew Morgan, pastor of the Pentecostal Tabernacle. At i the evangelistic service in the ■ evening the subject of Mr. Mor- igan’s address was “The Wisej Men." The tabernacle was decorated with evergreen boughs and other Christmas decorations. There was special music at both services. Harold Williamson and Norene Matheson, both Bible students at ' the Pentecostal Bible School of' Peterboro, assisted with the even­ ing service. Solos were given by I Harold Williamson and Ben Pil- kerton during this service. One of Aie best Christmas pres­ ents we have heard about this year was that given to the folks of the southwest section of the town on Sunday by Mr. Lockey at the Hydro sub-station. The people up there wakened on Christmas Sunday to the sound of carols. For a while, most of them thought they were dreaming,but it -was a pleasant dream. Mi.Lockey had fixed up a loud speak­er so that all might enjoy thebeautiful Christmas music.

The letter, read by Towni Clerk Winlaw, advised Councilthat the by-law must have hadthree readings before being sub­mitted to the O.MJB. Council hadgiven it two readings, believingthat the public meeting could be called and amendments made be- for the by-law was given finalreading. "We went ahead on the word of the consultant to the planning board. Now we find that this is i very different,” said the mayor. Councillor Pembleton noted that it was now apparent that since the public meeting had to ' follow the by-law, an amending by-law would have to be passed : to take care of the alterations and 1 revisions. He suggested that the 1 final reading of the by-law should be left to the 1954 council, to 1 read clause by clause before pass­ing. Council' agreed. At the meeting council acceded ’ to the request of the Planning j Board that the balance of the money budgeted to them for the ! year, be transferred to the INGERSOLL BAPTIST CHURCH The Baptist Young People’s Union decorated the Ingersoll Baptist Church for last Sunday’s special services.

You know those days - - or in the case of a weekly newspaper, those weeks - - when absolutely everything goes wrong. Well, we. had one a couple of weeks ago. By the time it was over, we were all pretty well weary and discouraged about every­ thing. So we dug down in a series of motto cards that a firm sends out, and found that one which says “This world that we’re a livin’ in is mighty hard to heat; you get a thorn with every rose, but ain’t the roses sweet.” We put it upon the wall and gazed at it. We must admit we were not very "believing.” Thie thorns were much too prickly for any roses to be noticed. Then our advertising “Gal Friday” got a letter from a local firm, thanking her for the way in which she had handled their business - - a rose! Hardly had we got that one up on the wall, when another letter came in, expressing thanks for something. A lady called to say she had liked a write up. All of a sudden, the joke had turned into a les- lesson. There are roses along with the thorns and if we weren’t so busy worrying about the pricks, we would realize that.

Sincere Good Wishes One of the best things about Christmas - - and Christmas is surely one of the best things in the world - - is that at this season, we have a particular opportunity to express appreciation for friendship. We of the Tribune want you, our readers, our customers, our friends, to know how much we do appreciate your patronage, how much we value your friendship. It is our sincere wish that not only at this holi- } j AM FASCINATED at the prospect, now im- day season, but throughout the whole year, you ‘ ininent, of Canada securing a court decision on may find in your hearts and in your lives, the true j t}ie questions whether children should be told that happiness which comes with the following of the Santa Claus will not come if they aren’t good, message of Christmas. This wish is from the members of the Tribune staff: Tom Caddey A. H. Edmonds Yvonne Holmes J. E. Hunt Irma Hutt Kenneth Moore Cecil Smith Winnifred Webb Iris Wilkes- Peter Wood W. A.

Safety'-experts said drinking while driving was the major cause of traffic accidents. “In Canada, drinking is not forbidden; neither is driving. But driving while drunk is definitely against the law.’’ Officials of the All Canada Insurance Federa­ tion, which represents more than 200 fire, automo­ bile and casualty insurance companies, warned against overloading cars to the point where safe driving is impaired, driving with glaring head- ouina emus win iiui, cuiuc ii iney uren t gOOU, whether they should be told that they have the “sillies’’ (a new one on us) and should go out and put their hands in a mailbox to mail them away, and whether they should be left to themselves when in a temper tantrum. The idea that the technique of child-raising, once so completely left to the decision of the parrents, is now so scien­ tifically standardized that the courts can tell us what a parent should do, and what doings or omis­ sions will cause him or her to be deprived of the parental responsibility, is slightly staggering. But it is a change in a direction in which we have been moving for a long time. However a court decision that Dr. Chisholm is right in abolishing Santa Claus is something so tre­ mendous that it ought certainly to be taken right up to the Supreme Court of Canada. No lesser authority will suffice. Our own opinion, for what it is worth and with no claim whatever to scien­ tific knowledge, is that in the interests of the four freedoms and all the little freedoms this matter ought to be left to the decision of the parents, who haven’t much range of decision left to them now­ adays anyhow. After all, may there not be some children who need a little Santa Clausing, others who would benefit by a slight dose of fairies and leprechauns, and still others predestined modernists, who should have nothing but what can be weighed in a bal­ ance or measured on a scale or detected by a Gei­ ger counter? Children do differ one from another, and they already get quite enough of a state-pre­ scribed identical formula for removing their dif­ ferences. Let the home of any two Canadian par­ ents be their castle, and let us tell Dr. Chisholm, Dr. Blatz and all the other experts to keep out of it unless the parents invite them in.

The Beaver have increas­ ed in numbers during the past few years both in northern On­ tario and also in wooded areas in Southern Ontario. There are sev- “ * eraJ. reasons for this increase.— j First—Poaching has been redu-1 ced by rigid enforcement by ' ‘ Conservation Officers of the De-I partment of Lands and Forests. Second—-Pelts have not been as- high a price. Third—in the north, traplines | were laid out and one man was given the right to trap on a cer­tain area. Fourthr—the trapper was re­stricted to the number of Beaverwhich we could take out of onehouse. Officials of the Department ofLands and Forests are very pleas­ed with the increase in the Beaverin the north country but in theagricultural sections it is a ques-ion whether we should allow Beaver as they do considerable !damage. They build dams on private property flooding several acres—this might be woodland or . ■ _ - ■ x, _ r.roads.

The Ingersoll \Tribune, Thursday, December 24, 1953 Page* Season of Good Will To Men Darkened by Motor Accidents “Next to excessive speed," maintains the Hon. Geo.

We must conclude that they are thinking of some­ thing else since there is always a shortage of evidence that they , were thinking of their driving (Uhriatmaa is more than “Santa and a tree” ... to all it brings a message of Peace and Good Wil] . . . and it is in this spirit that we extend our sincere greetings to you and your family.

There are gifts to think of, shopping, the children, fam-' ily visits and the wonderful' warmth which comes from renew-;ing old friendships. But on top ' of all this, as long as there are motor vehicles and drivers and pedestrians involved, there arc many very sobering requirements. . As long as one is driving or walk- Iing in traffic, to relax attention ' for even an instant is endangeringsomeone’s life or limbs. The temp­tation to think of the season’s activities is very great. “But what of the 39 people whodied in motor accidents during, the week of Christmas last year. What of the hundreds who werecruelly injured, some permanent-, ly, during the same week. The week which gives the Christian i world its greatest knowledge of brotherhood, when our feelings for our fellow men are at their warmest, when our thoughts turn most often to lending a helping hand to the less fortunate ... by failing to drive attentively or, perhaps by taking chances, we bring about what we wish most to avoid - - - hardship and misery to family, friends or our fellow men.“For many years now my own Christmas has been darkened by apprehension of what is likely to I take place on our streets and I highways. Each year us our traffic ; volume increases and the number ! of accidents and traffic deaths in- i creases, the apprehension grows, i “The motor vehicle in provid- 1 ing ease and convenience of i travel is perhaps the most re-: markable of man's inventions,| but when man fails to accommo­date and respect the motor ve­hicle's existence and use, it be­comes an instrument of purebrutal destruction. The instru­ment itself does not change - -nor for that matter does the good­will of its driver, but lacking at­tention and proper control, its menace is alive and very real."Must there be lives lost to in­ difference and inattention this Christmas? Must these dreadful . sacrifices be made? - - the little ' children and old children who die in collisions or are struck down on our highways . . . the families 'broken and crushed by misery at the loss of loved ones? “I beg everyone who walks or drives to think of both sides of the motor vehicle picture . . . thegreat boon and convenience it isand the death dealing, crippling metal monster it can be.

The idea worked out so well that use of flashing blue lights was finally restricted in this pro­ vince to snow removal and winter maintenance equipment only. This was done by Ontario Regula­tions 140-53, dated July 31, 1953, under the Highway Traffic Act.Now that winter seems to haveset in, all drivers of motorizedvehicles are urged to watch forflashing blue lights, especially during storms when- snow plows ! and sanding trucks) are endeavor- ' ing to keep main highways clear 'and free from treacherou glare ; ice. | Large snow plows are a bit wider than half of a two-lane highway. The dangerous extra width is often hidden by snow being removed from the road. Sometimes the vehicles have to move quite slowly, and especially ' so if the snowfall is heavy. If following a blue-beam ve­ hicle in a storm motorists are advised to keep fully 500 feet in rear of the plow, sanding truck or other mechanism using flash­ ing blue lights as warning signals.

HINES Baby Sitters Meet ' Agree On Rates A group of Ingersoll baby sit- terse held an organizational meet­ ing last week at the home of Mrs. John Morris, Oxford street. The chi jf purpose wjis the stand­ ardization of rates for baby sit­ ting, an increasingly important business in this day and age. Both the ladies and the teen­ age girls felt that there is, at pre­ sent, too great a variation in the amounts so rates were set for those up to 18 years and for ad­ ults. The rates also take into con­ sideration the hours before or after midnight. Special rates are set for Christmas and New Years, Anyone who does baby sitting is invited to join the group and they, or those interested in ob­ taining a sitter, may call Mrs.David Pollard.

Theproperty is the Douglas Wilsonfarm on Whiting street and theBoard feels immediate actionshould be taken on the possibili­ties leading to taking up the act­ion.t iThe letter to the council signedby the chairman, R. S. Foster,lists the following reasons: 1. The property is an area of 114acres, well suited for industry,all within the boundaries ofthe municipality.,2. Utilities and services such aspower, water, gas, light andsewerage are readily available when required.3. The contour of the site is such Clients waiting for Town and City Homes and Farms • Contact EARL BRADY Representing J. A. Willoughby - Realtors Box 804 Ingersoll Phone No. 1563W that a minimum of gradingwould be required, and it is inclose proximity to a highly in­dustrialized area. It it justsouth .of the Borden Co. Ltd.,The Ingersoll Paper Box Co. Ltd., The Ingersoll Machine & Tool Co. Ltd., Hydro-Electric Sub-Station, Clarks gravel pit and others. 4. The acreage lends itself read­ ily to division into 10 acre sites, and meets the require­ ments of so many industrialists that a site should be zoned to protect their investment. Own­ ed by the Corporation, such protection can be guaranteed. 5. The site can be served by a railway siding. The Canadian Pacifiic Railway have alreadysurveyed the site and haveblue-printed a projected siding to serve the entire area. 6. The price $20,000.00 is well within the current values of farm lands, approximately$175.00 per acre. Industry de­mands a firm fixed prjee., 7. Our proximity to the City of London industrial development where values start at $2,000 per acre makes such an invest­ ment very attractive.8. Streets, sidewalks, etc., are not a problem, if the property is retained solely for future in­ dustrial'expansion. 9. Industrial sites may be ac­ quired by municipalities, with the approval of the Depart­ ment of Planning and devel­ opment. Treasure at the End of the Rainbow It pay* to buy at Wilioa’i Hardware.

In spite of his efforts to remain an­onymous, this exemplary behavior captured the imagination of his countrymen, tales of his good deeds spread through other lands,and he was chosen as the ideal giver and patron saint of the holi­day.

THAMESFORD INGERSOLLPhone 80 Phone 436 Quaint Rehearsal Of Christ’s Birth Found in Old Carol “Auld Lang Syne’’ has become such an integral part of our mod­ ern New Year's eve that no cele­ bration, however gay. would be complete without it. i The music sheets for those nos- I talgic strains simply say “Robert Burns—Scotch Air", and Robert i Burns generally is supposed to have written it after he had set- j tied down on a farm and taken | himself a wife, following the sweeping success in 1778 of the second edition of his “Poems.” Weil and good, but Auld Lang Syne was not exclusively a Burns’ product, nor did he claim it to be. In a letter to George Thomson, a publisher, Burns explained; “It is an old song of olden times, which has never been in print. 1 took it down from an old man’s singing." Modern scholarship has discov­ ered that Burns was wrong when he told Thomson “Auld Lang Syne” never had been in print. Its refrain at least, was printed ob­ scurely long before Bums heard. his “old man singing.'*i Further, the original song often seem to make much sense in thestandard English translation.Regardless of its original au­thor and origin, it was Burns who 'gave “Auld Lang Syne” its im­ mortality. And though the bells now welcome the New Year with joyous peals, symbolizing man­ kind's hope for a bright future, the nostalgiast of “Auld Lang Syne” summarizes an adherent reluctance the leave the security and friendship of the past and embark upon a future which, however, promising, may not be more pleasant. Thus, it remains a part of the English speaking heritage to “Drink a cup of kindness yet For Auld J-ang Syne." Christmas gifts are said to have originated with the ancient Romans, who used to exchange gifts on the first day of the new year. The custom was later transferred to Christmas and today it is one of the Yuletide’s greatest joy’s.

The gravy should i be kept piping hot in a doubleboiler and poured into the dish that has been scalded to heat it. 9 To help simplify that last min­ute gravy job—dip out % cup I of the dripping and pour into a deep skillet, then as you stir it, shake in 3a cup flour. It will look curdled but stir for 5 I minutes then add 2 cups of po-i tato water that you have saved from boiled potatoes. Next, re­ move the roasted bird to a warm platter and skim off all excess clear fat and set it aside. Add the remainder of the juice along with water to make up 2 cups to the gravy mix. Season with a Mt tsp. dried , parsley, salt and >4 tsp. mono­ sodium glutamate. Stir occas- 1 ionally another 5 min. to blend flavors. , 10 If you forget to save the liquid from the boiled veg­ etables for gravy, use a can of consomme. 11 Freshly prepared vegetables have the best flavor and good­ ness, however you may wish to boil yams the day before and slice them when cold. iVhen the turkey is taken from the oven, have the broiling pan rack fill­ ed with sliced yams and dotted with butter.
