The concluding meeting for the year 1935 of the town council was held Monday evening in the council chamber with the members all pres ent, After one and a half years of effort. Mayor Wilson finally saw one of his suggestions acted upon, as the members of the council passed a reso lution, naming the chairman of the board of- works and the parka com mittee, to act as a committee to in terview the Forestry Department, re garding the trimming of trees and 1 the planting of new ones in Inger- eo!L The matter of trees was brought to the attention of the council in a letter from A. S. L Barns of Tor onto, who requested that the council consider seriously the condition of the trees and take immediate action to improve their appearance. In the correspondence, the writer set forth four suggestions as follows; that there was considerable amount of wood contained in the trees, which would assist with the relief of the town; that a Mr. Bailey ba taken on to do this work at a salary of $50 per week for a period of one month, and if, at the end of that time, his work was satisfactory, he be kept on; that he start with four active local young men, and grad ually increase this number to 16; and lastly that this work would assist with the problem of giving work to the unemployed. The letter also pointed out that this work hod been carried on in Owen Sound, and it waa shown that excellent results had been accomp lished. Upon hearing the contents of the letter, Councillor Adams spoke brief ly, stating that the trees bf _ the town, in the condition that they are in at the present time are a danger to the citizens, and he held that something should be done in this re gard. Mayor Wilson said that he would be very glad to seo something done with the trees as the matter had been held over for some rime and they were in need of immediate attention. His Worship suggested that arrange ments bo made with the Public Util ities Commission to work together with the council. Chairman Murray of the board of works committee, stated that his committee had done some work with a number of the dead trees, but he was of the opinion that this type of proc* dure would cost a lot of money, as had been pointed out. Mayor Wil son in reply to Councillor Murray said he did not think it would be nercsary to par this much, as the Forestry Department was willing io send n man here rome time apo to p’ck out the trees which should be cut down Council!?" Murray said that he had iiwpe-.'ed the treea in various districts and they were feu nd, some of them, to be nothing hut shells. Councillor Adams then pointed out that this work could bo done by some of the local unemployed and the wood would be a revenue. Coun cillor Edmonds was of the opinion ^it there were men in and around Ingersoll who had had sufficient ex perience in this line of work to do this at a figure considerably lower than $50 per week.

A meeting of unusual interest was that held by the members of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club at their reg ular luncheon on Friday, when the members took the six objectives of Kiwanis International and presented them in a very interesting manner, setting forth the main thought of the work of Kiwanis and the duties of each and every man of that organ ization. The meeting was in charge of the committee of Kiwanis Education and the chairman, Albert J. Kennedy presided over the meeting. Mr. Ken nedy in preparing for the introduce ion of his subjects, asked a number of questions pertaining to the offic ers of the past and present of Kiwan is International, and these were answered by chosen members of the club. Six speakers were chosen from the gathering to speak on the objectives of the work of. Kiwanis and each was gven no less than three minutes and no more than five. Each speak er was supported by another member of the club, but in some cases, just one spoke. The judges for the speak ing Were R. W. Green, C. A. Love and F..N, Horton. The speakers were H. I. Stewart and C. L, Bole who spoke on giving primacy to the hu- nian and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. The sec ond objective, to encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all hu- man relationships, was given by George Bartlett and Dr. E. J. Chis holm. Gtorge Sutherland spoke on promoting the adoption and the ap plication of higher social, business and professional standards, and he was supported by J. W. Dean. To develop® by precept and example, a more intelligent aggressive and ser viceable citizenship waa taken by F. H. Adams. The fifth speaker was R. G. Start who took the next ob jective, which was to provide through Kiwanis clubs a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to -build better communities. The final objective, to co-operate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism, which mokes possible the increase of right eousness, justice, -patriotism and good vdll, .was given by J. J. Mc Leod. The prizes were awarded as fol lows: For the answers, George Suth erland and for the speakers, R. G. Start. The consolation prizes went to George Bartlett and R. A. Stone. At the conclusion of the program Herbert Handley spoke briefly, stat ing that he was of the opinion that the meeting was one of the finest he had attended as a member of the Kiwanis Club.

Superintendent Hall explained that a representative of the Interna tional Water Supply Company, whose tender had been accepted for the new deep well pump, had visited Ingersoll recently and had gone over the specifications minutely, and rec ommendations for the installation of the pump were discussed at that time. On motion of Mayor Wilson and J. A. Bowman, the company will bo instructed to supply 20 foot lengths of piping in place of 10 foot lengths as had been specified in (be tender.

It waa stated that the figures showed a downward trend as at November 30th.

Here, the speaker described his method of painting as exhibited by the picture, "Mademoiselle Victorine,” one of his Spanish subjects. Another of the root sources of modern art was Cor ot, who is represented by "The Ferryman,” the original of which is in New York at the present time. The great satirical draughtsman of France, Daumier, who left many paintings acclaimed after his death, is represented by his picture, "The Laundess,” the powerful construct ion of his figures, the simplicity of his composition and his method of lighting era well depicted. Very sim ilar to the work of Daumier was Forain, whose picture, “The Confus ed Witness,’’ is an interesting study in sombre tones of a courtroom in cident. Several other works served to cast light on tho aims and move men ta in modern art Among these were Rousseau’s "Monkeys in a Tropkol Forest," The "Odolcsque, of MatioOe is also powerfully decora tive, but its style is based on the study of many radical art forms and particularly of Eastern decorative art Modigliani, a neglected genius during his life is now recognized os a vital voice in modem art and is represented by portrait of a doctor in an army uniform, blue against the brown wall.

We can review the sayings of great authorities od the past and more modern philosophers .who observe. John Milton said, “Give me Liberty to know, to utter and to argue freely according to my oonacience, above all other liberties.’' “Junius,” the commentator of the earlier days of the Guelph regime in England, said: “Let it- be im pressed upon your minds; let it be metalled into your children, that the liberty of the press, is the palladium of ail civil, political, and religioua rights of freamen.’’ Ex-President Thomas Jefferson: “Our liberty de pends on the freedom of the presa, and that cannot be limited without being lost-" President James Madison: “To the press alone, checkered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by rea son and humanity over error and depression.” “History teaches that human liberty cannot be secured unless there is freedom to express griev. antes."—-Floyd E. Thompson. ■ “The newspaper ie an institution developed by modern civilization to present the news of the day, to foster commerce and industry, to inform and lead public opinion and to furnish that check upon govern ment which no constitution has ever been able to provide.”—Chicago 'Tribune. Richard Brinsley Sheridan, whose impeachment of the corrupt Warren Harting'S is memorable to this day, nigh two hundred years after: “Giveyne but the liberty of the press and I will give to the Minister a venal House of Peers. I will give him a corrupt and servile House of Commons. I will give him the full swing of the patronage of office. I .will give him the whole host of ministerial influence. I will give him all the power that place can eonfe upon him; to pur chase up submission and overawe resistance .... and yet, armed wit^ the liberty of the press, I will go forth and meet him undismayed. I will attack the mighty fabric of that mightier engine. I will shake down from its height corruption, and bury it beneath the ruins of the abuses it was meant to shelter.” Strong, incisive and outspoken words are these, and yet but the few within journalistic circles reco gnize the power and the value which lies within their journal, do they but stand firm on the rock of truth, and be fair, impartial, considerate and plain in lang uage. A good newspaper can ba built up only with the characteristics related. It may take years to establish a friendship and confidence which can be destroyed in a night. How The Turkey Changed Christmas Fare Among the culinary’ gifts from the aboriginal in habitants of North America to the white man—corn meal foods, pemmican, succotash, pumpkins, squash, pwect potatoes, fish and wild fowl and clams and b^ns baked in clay, maple syrup and maple sugar— roast turkey stands supreme. Nearly three hundred years have passed since the American turkey dis placed the vaunted Sir Loin and Baron of Beef from their proud positions on the British Christmas table and vanquished forever the claims of roast guinea fowl, quail, cranes and swans as the Christmas mas terpiece of the festive board. Indeed, to-day, so dominant is the North American bird that Christmas throughout the English speaking world is not Christ mas without a turkey. The earliest documentary evidence of the Ameri canization of European dietary is set forth in an ecclesiastical ordinance by Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, in which is mentioned “the turkey- cocke” as one “the greater fowles” of which an ecclesiastic was to have “but one on a dishe.” The learned Archbishop could not have referred to “ye Canadian turkey-cocke,” for the Canadian turkey is a noble bird capable of supplying sustenance to many, and what a generous repaetl Browned to a nicety, fragrant as a zephyr from Ceylon’s Isle, and towering in regal mien above the portentous platter, the Can adian turkey is a feast for a king. And also a feast for the mind, for with consummation comes the spirit of Christmas, and all men are brothers, Tran quility, harmony, concord. Peace to men of Good WilL The Canadian turkey is famous for ita taste and bountiful proportions, and thousands each year grace the Old Country Christmas board, over and above the many thousands on Canadian Christmas tables. 1 The export of turkeys and other poultry to Great Britain has assumed very large proportions, as a re sult of the fine reputation gained by the shipments of previous years. The average weight of a box of turkeys for export is 125 pounds, while the average box of chickens weighs 60 pounds. From January 1 to Norember 24 of this year (1935) no leas than 42,029 boxes of poultry were exported, in compari son with 13,712 boxes in the corresponding period of 1934, This of course does not include the large Christmas trade now in progress. knowing why he didn't win the plaudit^ of hte fellow men fcr teaderdu'p.

Beware of Christmas Hazards Attorney General A. W. Roebuck issues a warning through the office of the Eire Marshal against care lessness and dangerous flammable decoratio ns during the Merry Christmas festivities. It is a tragedy that fire reaps so heavy a toll of Hfe «o unnecessarily at this (Season, through thoughtlessness of ,would-be merry-makers. It is only a few years since a score of young lives were seriously threatened in the Maternity Wort! of a Toronto Hospital became candles were lighted on a Christmas tree by one of the kind-hearted but over- zealous nurses. Only good fortune prevented a catastrophe. Similar unfortunate occurrences have claimed lives of children when trees have been ignited at school house and Sunday School concerts, as well as in homes. Under no circumstances should candles be lighted on a Christmas tree and only approved electric lights should be used. Trees should be kept away from fireplaces or other sources of heat or sparks, for once ignited they bum so fiercely that they are a dread hazard to Hfe, Fire-proofed paper decorations, that will only smoulder but not flare up in flame, should be used instead of the highly flammable kind, and even they they should be kept away from hot electric light bulbs and other sources of heat Parents and guardians should realize their responsibility to the children and plan to mate their Christmas safe as well as merry. Don’t Worry Probably the most asinine advice to one addicted to worry is that hackneyed phrase, “don't worry,” for it simultaneously reveals in the adviser a smug presumption of authority to tender advice, and para doxically, a void of understanding making for obvious inability to counsel sagely, a position meet exasperat ing to the worrier. It is like assuring a man on the desert without water that all he needs to correct his condition is water. You can almost hear his high- pitched shout, as his bloodshot eyes burn above cracked, swollen lips, “How in God’s name, will I get water.” Anyone who has wrestled with worry and conquer ed knows that worry is an outward manifestation of fear—fear of someone Or something which first must be exposed to that daylight in which no ominous ghosts have ventured since creation. It is a fact that no one ever has been placed in a situation eo trying that he need be without enough confidence to conquer its terror. Which brings to mind the remark of the dear old lady on her deathbed to the effect that she had had a great deal of trouble in her life, most of which had never happened. In the light reason fear can be appreciated as a drama. On the stage drama causes playgoers to be come tense. It is accomplished by putting players in conflict one against another, or one against the elements. The uncertainty of what is about to happen gives edge to the play. As entertainment drama has its place, but in the main it is better to keep drama in the background in every-day life. “Giving Time” “For Christmas time is giving time, the best time of the year.” So say the words of the old Christmas carol and we are reminded by the approach of the festive reason that this year perhaps more than in ordinary times we all have an opportuntiy of bringing much joy and happiness to ourselves by giving joy and happiness to others, Chrirtmas is essentially a sea son of “gift giving”, rather than one of “gift get ting.” There really is more satisfaction and lasting joy in the “giving” than in the “getting” especially If in our gift giving we remember those who otherwise would receive very little. There is no time of the year when we are nearer to the realization of man's fondest dream, the Baotherhood of man, than at this time when we think of Him who came to teach us the Fatherhood of God. Wirth the coming of this reason the heart strings are touched and love flows out to our fellow-men and their need, our pure-etringa are loosened and we try to meet the needs of those less fortunate than ourselves.

For instance, one consignment of Bag dad dates filled a whole train and was speeded over the Canadian National Railways from the Atlantic Seaboard to Montreal, Toronto and Chicago. These dates—there were millions of thorn—came direct from Baarah, Iraq, and some of them from n neigh borhood popularly believed to be the site of the Garden of Eden. These dates are being distributed largely in the big cities but great quantities of them are required for households elsewhere in the various provinces and the central United States. Employment In Retail Stores The retail stores in Canada employ approximately 400,000 persons, including proprietors and partners as well as employees. Together with workers in wholesale establishments of all kinds, there are about 500,000 parsons engaged in the various branches of trade, or, roughly speaking, one In every 21 of the population. This is more than three-quarters the number work ing in all manufacturing estabiishmenta and more than one-fthird as many os are engaged in agricnlture. Of the total workers in retail stores, about three- quarters are men and one-quarter women. This is approximately the same distribution for all pur- wits, other than agriculture, so that men and women seem to be attracted equally to retail trade. Women, however, find less opportunity to own retail rtonea as less than 10 psr cent of tha propriet ors and firm members of retail stores are women. For the hired employees in storM the proportions are 69 per cent males and 31 per cent females. —Thin information is taken from reports i^oed by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

Councillor Riley then addressed the council with regard to the relief labor in Ingersoll, stating that the town of Ingersoll has been paying 25c per hour and in some places they are paying 30c per hour. It was shown that in Ingersoll these men do not get cash for their work, therefore it come* out of th a relief coot* which the governmeni shares two thirds. Councillor Rilej suggest ed that the 1936 council figure the relief labor at 30c instead of 25c as the cost of living is increasing and the tax arrears are also increasing.

Rankin'* assistants had thus far been unable io truce it.Unless his quarry had never bought the drug at all! The idea that occurred to the detective at that instant caused him to break aff his conversation with Mr, Roche. Sud- ■teuiy he had recalled an item of information Mortimer Keith had casually dropped early in the case. At the time he could attach no import ance to it, and quickly forgot it; now it suggested a startling possi- bibly that made him stiffen and breathe excitedly, as he pondered it He did not believe some one else bought the chloroform, for Dennis; shat was too great a risk. screen.

You had better look, doctor, to find out whether I'm mistaken. But just point out the drug; we must be careful not to destroy any clues or prints.”"I hope to God you are wrong.’1 Dr. Brantman murmured fervently.More pallid than usual, he stepped behind the screen.

"Of course, that would explain his secrecy about bis past and why he destroyed the evidence that he was ever in the service. He wasn't caught, was he?”“No. he evidently escaped successfully.”"J suppose that's his picture, on the next page,” the detective observed.“Yes. the one that was taken at San Diego.” Mt Roche held out the pamphlet.Rankin reached for it eagerly enough, but without anticipating the shock that followed. Suddenly, al the sight of the features staring at him from the portrait, he gasped. Experienced as he was in extraordinary developments in his investi gation of crime, he could not control his astonishment. The passage of eight years was insufficient to prevent his recognition of the face in the picture.Such was his overwhelming amazement that Mr. Roche eyed him wondcringly.“What in the world is the matter. Mr. Rankin?” he demanded hurriedly. "You're not ill, I hope? You act as ii you're acquainted with the man."The detective wiped his brow. “That's just it. I am. But it's absolutely incredible: for the life of me. I can't understand how it can be possible. You see—" In time, he Rankin advanced to the apartment door and boldly seized the brasi knocker.

In one conclusion gravely. “The amounts don’t check he had faith. Sooner or later, if he I at al); I should have seven ounce* recalled how little Mr. Roche knew of the true reason lie sought the ex soldier. "He's a notorious second- story man, and wanted badly in many cities."With this revelation, he grapsed in one fell swoop ail the elaborate mechanism of the murder. At one moment he was blindly following his nose; the next, every piece of a complicated and ingenious puzzle, the sheer originality of which he had not eves dreamed, fell into place. He needed no more information from the marine records. Now he knew how the crime had bepn engineered and when it was committed. He perceived all the subtle safeguards by which the murderer prevented suspicion from lighting on him, the daring that revealed his perverted mind. Always ready to allow his opponent due credit, Rankin appreciated his plot, as brilliant and audacious as any he had ever encountered. The measure oi its success was the completeness with which it had baffled him until this very moment. With the solution confronting him at every turn, he had been a victim, throughout the case, of a cunning with which he could not cope.His only consolation lay in the fact that back in Philadelphia he already possessed ’ his quarry's fingerprints. Hence, even without the photograph, he would eventually have discovered Dennis' identity at Headquarters, when he compared his prints with those he took early in the investigation. Yet, despite his information and certainty, he lacked posilive proof of the criminal’s guilt- Not one iota of his evidence was more than circam- stantial nor could it be established directly. Though he could show the man’s motives and opportunity, and a dozen suspicious moves, they had only the force of supposition*. Dennis had no eyewitnesses to positive acts that linked him inescapably to Barbara Keith's death. So incriminating were the circumstances that Rankin depended on them alone to convict him; but he was not satified. He wanted to leave no loophole by which the man might escape and this he could accomplish only with some testimony that brought the deed straight home to him.While he continued his conversation with Mr. Roche. Rankin's mind raced in search of some fact that would close hi* net. Step by step h<- reviewed every transaction of the criminal, his preparations, precautions and final act; and each detail of the plot he discarded as being in- c.’-pable of direct proof. That is, until he considered Dennis’ purchase of the chloroform. In obtain- int that, he committed a distinctly jni-rhnmatinq ar; which lent over- whriiHliig; significance to the purely the man's movements <5ur- the tragedy, he would discover the lource of the weapon he used.The detective immediately acted on his theory and decision. As soon as he finished his business with the secretary, he returned to the Union Station and at 6:15 caught a train for Philadelphia. Three hours later the train deposited him in Broad Street Station and he went directly to City Hall to complete the necessary formalities. Then armed with the warrant, he departed and walked briskly down Broad Street to Pine, Here he turned, and just past 16th Street he stopped before a bleakly respectable brownstone house, four stories high- The lower windows were dark; but a brass shingle on one front sill—"Dr. Anton Brantman” —indicated that one of the most :minent specialists in ailments of he head lived there.Though it was long after office vours, Rankin rang the bell Five ninutes elapsed before footsteps tchoing along the stair* announced Dr. Brantman’s approach.Without any comment he led Rankin into the lofty waiting room ior patients.Rankin apologized, for the intru- >ion and then came directly to the point. His first query caused Dr. Brantman to shake a solemn head ind tighten his lips with a sigh."Yes, I was well acquainted with Mrs. Keith,” he replied; "1 treated her for headaches. ... A dreadful business that" He paused and made commiserating sounds. "Only I don't think it was Wednesday evening. May twenty-fourth, that she day* later.” He went with Rankin into his private office. "Yes, I am right.” He pointed » finger at a scrawled, almost illegible notation. “Here it is, two days later, at eight-thirty p,m„ on Friday, May twenty-sixth, “Of course, doctor, that fits in perfectly after all," declared Rankin. “She couldn't have viAited you Wednesday. She was accompanied, wasn’t she, Dr. Brantman?"At the physician’s reply, his face lighted with a half smile of confidence. After that more eagerly and rapidly he began to put his questions, insistently pressing upon Dr. Brantman his startling inspiration. Finally, the doctor, could no longer contain his uneasiness. "I don't doubt. Mr. Rankin, that what you suggest is possible," he admitted. My nurse. Miss Vickers, wasn’t here to watch and I had no other patients; and my drug shelve-, arc quite open. If I happened to be occupied at this desk, I might not notice what went on behind the left. Even if my judgment is only rodghiy correct, at least four minces arc missing.” Delighted by the substantiation of his theory, Rankin lifted the via! with extreme caution."And that means there should be fingerprints," he commented, “if this hasn't been disturbed since. ... He probably brought along a small container instead of taking this." Fifteen minutes later, with the evidence upon which he relied and Dr. Brantman as a witness, the detective left the house on Pine Street. On the warrant in his pocket he had filled in the criminal's name. His eyes glistened with excitement as he summoned a taxi. Experienced though he was in the pursuit of wrongdoers, he would have been less than human not to be stirred by this momentous occasion, He gave the cabman directions as he climbed in. _ ’’And on the way," he directed, "if you notice a cop, stop so I can pick hint Up.” The taximan obeyed. Near 44th Street two uniformed men stood on the corner, conversing, and the taxi drew up to them. Ftankin beckoned them in; and by the time he had identified himself and explained what he expected of them, they reached their destination. It was an exclusive, somewhat elegant red-brick apartment house. U-shaped, each of its ihree wings having a separate entrance. The detective dismissed the cab and selected the entrance into the left wing, in the vestibule of which he paused at the letter boxes.He indicated one. “That’s the one we want, boys—three-C, third floor,” he declared. "Now remember your orders — to slay out of sight while I enter." He drew out a whistle, borrowed from one of the officers. "Don't interfere unless I blow this," he continued. “I cx- Cect I can manage him by myself; ut he’ll be desperate, so stand by, ready in case he i* troublesome."VVith that, he pressed the button beneath the name of the man he sought; and in a moment, a buzzing sound released the catch on the inner door. The three men trooped in, over a red-tiled floor, and, dis regarding the elevators, ascended the stairo on the right. On the third floor, the softly-lighted corridor stretched in both directions. lined with regular-spaced, numbered doors, 3C so close to the stairhead that, to prevent observation, the policemen retreated down several steps toward a midway landing. Then Rankin advanced to the apartment door and boldly seized the brass knocker. Conceded Next Week C. O. O. F. Lqdge Elects New Officers On Wednesday night last Queen Victoria. Lodge, C. O.
