CARROLL OUTLINES DIFFERENTPHASES OF AGRICULTURE Secretary of Ontario Fair*' Ai»oc- iation Speaking At Kiwani* Lunch- eon, Declared More Interest Should Be Shown By Urban Resident* In Rural Life. Urt>an residents should take a mono active interest in rural life and help to build up the prestige of agri­ culture, thus making the young peo­ ple on farms feel that their work is really worth while, declared J. A. Carroll, when addressing the mem- bci^ of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club at their regular weekly luncheon on Friday noon at the Ingersoll Inn. President W. R. Marshall was in charge of the meeting. Don Mac­ kenzie introduced the speaker for the occasion and explained that Mr. Carroll was born in Elgin county and was a graduate of the Ontario Agri­ cultural College, Guelph. Mr. Mac­ kenzie referred to the activities of Mr. Carroll during the years of the Great War and outlined his advance­ ment since that time with regard to agriculture, until he is now super­ visor of fair boards and horticultural societies in Ontario. In his opening remarks, Mr. Car­ roll made reference to a letter which ho had received, asking him why the province of Ontario is so outstand­ ing in agriculture. In answer to this question, Mr. Carroll described in a very’ thorough and understand­ ing manner just why Ontario has set up such an enviable reputation in agriculture. The wide area of fer­ tile eoH, which is responsible for the production of such splendid crops, he explained, is one of the chief answers to this question. To illustrate the ctandard of quality of the crops grown in Ontario, Mr. Carroll stated that in Chicago in 1934 at the World’s Fair, Ontario won 150 prizes and still more at the same place in the following year. Ontario, be added, has been recognized for many years as the source of pure-bred livestock, sheep, Clydesdale horses and Jersey cattle. It is true that the cities and towns of Canada provide' a ready market for the1 products of Ontario but her export trade is a bo great as she sup­ plies many other countries with a ■wide variety of products, particular­ ly poultry, which has found a ready sale in the British market. Then there is wheat, corn, alfalfa, apples and different types of tobacco. It was held that the Ontario gov­ ernment gives a grant every year to over 700 agricultural societies. 'Hie Ontario Agricultural CoBege, Guelph, assists the Ontario farmers with their problems and offers edu­ cation along this particular line to boy^ and girls. Ontario farmers are home lovers, sold Mr. Carroll. Some people in the United States have the idea that we here in Ontario have nothing but snow and they are surprised when they eec the many products which are exported from this province in the course of a year, said the speaker. We cannot have satisfactory rural life unless we get rid of the idea that we are going to till tho land for a year and then move to some other location, added, Mr. Carroll. The prairie provinces were mentioned in connection with thia thought and they will never achieve satisfactory results unless they get rid of this idea. Referring to agricultural condi­ tions in the United States, the speak­ er held that it was fair in New York State and in parts of Pennsylvania but in Kentucky, one can imagine hi me elf back in our own northern parts of Ontario, so limited Is the land tilled- The Civil War has to be taken into consideration in this case because it discouraged the far­ mers and settlers there and this is one reason that they have never be­ come really interested in developing the «oQ. \ Mr, Carroll .paid tribute to S.

He mentioned that the fl rat Agricultural Society was organized in tho year . 1792. We think of these organizations as mere faira^ind that feature of their work is well known.

I. Case farm machinery in the Inger­ soll council chamber on Friday afternoon, through the courtesy of the local Case dealer, Mr. Archie Harris, Canterbury street, Ingersoll. The pictures were exceptionally interesting and included an explan­ ation of how to properly care for a tractor and showed the various types of tractors and many of tho farm implements manufactured by the J. I. Case Company in actual operation. The well-balanced adaptability of tractors to a number of jobs and conditions was the particularly in­ teresting feature of the pictures. It was pointed out that the Case Com­ pany built gas tractors as early as 1892 and never stopped developing more adaptable, more economical, and more durable farm power since that time. NORSWORTHY CHAPTER HOLDING TAG DAY SATURDAY, MARCH 21st Fund* Railed Will Be Uied To Supply Milk To Children Of Th a School. Town Home* To Be Canvaited On Friday By Chapter Metnberi. The Norsworthy Chapter, Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, who have been doing a very worthy work for the past several years in supply­ ing milk to the children of the Ward School, are taking a new means of raising money this year. They have been granted permis­ sion to hold a "Tag Day,” on Sat­ urday, March 21st, and the funds from this will be used to augment their milk fund. Mrs. T. N. Dunn, is Regent of the Chapter and the campaign has been well organized under her direction. Members of the Chapter have been slotted cer­ tain sections of the town to canvass on Friday, and it is their hope that they will be able to call on every home in Ingersoll and receive a don­ ation, no matter how small the amount may be. On Saturday, Taggers -will be on the streets, and through this system­ atic plan of reaching the people of the town and the district residents, who will be in Ingersoll that day, they hope to raise enough to finance their work for the next year. Women's Bowling Club y Elects New Officers The annual meeting of the Ladies’ Bowling Club was held last Wednes­ day evening when the members of the organization gathered at tho home of Mrs. Joseph Daly, Thames street.

Mar.hall. Meeting of Bu»i- ne.»men Will Be Called To Dilute Early Closing And Weekly Half Holiday. Any doubt as to the activity of the Ingersoll Chamber of Commerce can be cast aside after hearing the report of the secretory, W. R. Mar- ehaH, read at the annual meeting, held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening with a good attend­ ance. President, Rev.-F. C. Elliott occupied the chair. In his open­ ing remarks, he stated that the Ingersoll Chamber of Commerce, for the,past year, had been carrying on under a bandicap. It was shown that early last year, it was decided to hold monthly meetings but due to the ill health of Mr. Elliott, the meet­ ings were not held and from June until October, nothing was done in connection with this organization, which appeared as if the Chamber of Commerce §was dead. Since October, however, ol considerable amount of work has been accomplished and Mr. Elliott forecast a successful year for the organization in 1936. Dealing with the duties of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Elliott pointed out that they were unlimited in their scope and such an organiza­ tion could be a great influence for good in any community. It was stated that one of the main objects of the Chamber of Commerce has been to create a closer relationship between the citizens of the town and rural district, adjacent to Ingersoll. Secretary Marshall in his report outlined the various activities of the organization since its inception which dated back to April, 1934, The report stated that the Industrial Committee of the Ingersoll Chamber of Commerce has been on the con­ stant lookout for any industries' which might wish to change their present location and move to a new centre. The weekly market re­ established in Ingersoll through tho instrumentality of the Chamber of Commerce had been a worthy under­ taking. The personei of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Com­ merce, the report pointed out, re­ presented the cross section of the community and included men who have the interests of the town at heart and are endeavoring to obtain the support of the public in making 1 Ingersoll a better business centre. A splendid financial report was pre­ sented by Treasurer W. L. Thurtell. Rev. Dr. J. G. Miller, who was elected president for 1936 at the Board of Directors meeting earlier in the evening took charge of the meeting after the secretary and treasurer’s reports were read and , approved. A lengthy discussion in regards t6 the holding of meetings followed/and it was decided that a meetipg of the entire membership would be held every three months with public or special meeting left to the, call of the Board of Directors. The question of holding a bahquot was loft in obeyanda as it was felt a membership campaign first would be more beneficial to the organiza­ tion. Th© matter of the weekly half holiday of the storey the year round, excepting December, brought forth a prolonged discussion. It was contended that the Chamber of Commerce should act quickly on this matter so that the question could bo settled once and for all. A motion passed to’ the effect that the Board, of Directors be asked to bring to­ gether the merchants of the town to discuss the question of early closing and weekly half holidays at an early date. The method of electing directors came up for criticism and will be considered by the Board of Directors at an early meeting. During the course of the evening’s discussion, votes of thanks were ex­ tended to the retiring president. Rev. F. C. Elliott, secretary, W. R. Marshall and the retiring directors, Messrs. S. A. Gibson, W. L. Thur- tell, Alex. Rose and J. Fef™ David. Car And Truck Collide On Hall Street A car driven by David Logan of Tillsoribttrg, and a truck in transit, driven by Warren Alien of Court­ land came together fete last Sat­ urday afternoon when they tried to para on Hall street, along side of a parked car. Police report no aer- ious damage was done, although the left front fenders of the vehicles land the steering apparatus of the track ware slightly damaged. Concert! Will Be Provided If Fundi Can Be Secured To Repair Instru­ ment* And Purchase Uniform!. Other Butinct! Of Routine Nature. An appeal for funds to assist the newly-organized Ingersoll citizens’ Band was made to -the members of The town council at their regular meeting in the council chamber on Monday evening. It was pointed out by the band representatives that if sufficient funds can be raised by this organization, Ingersoll will once again have a band of which the town may well be proud. A deputation, representing tho band appeared at the meeting and the director, A. G. Watts, addressed the council on the matter. He stated that four or five months ago, a number of ’ men in Ingersoll gathered at a meeting and decided to organize a town band. At ^the present time, there are 28 or 30 members in the organization and during the winter months they had been trying to raise a few dollars in order to carry on and provide en­ tertainment for the people of Inger­ soll. Mr, Watts explained that he thought a band in Ingersoll would be i a worthy asset It was shown that arrangements are Ito be made, if money can be secured, to hold 8, 10 or 12 band concerts in the Memor­ ial Park this summer'for the enter­ tainment of the public. The speaker emphasized tho fact that the organization at the present time is in desperate need of funds in order to fix up their instruments and secure uniforms. It was also stated cmomunity concerts are fe be planned for the summer months at Memorial park where the band will co-operate with tho churches for Sunday services. When asked if he had any idea of how much money was needed, Mr. Watts said that he could only base a rough estimate on the Woodstock band who recent­ ly had received a grant from the council of $5D0. The local band has the support of the public and it is only a matter on the part of the council to offer a little con­ sideration and give the members of the organization some encourage­ ment. The money is to be used solely for the equipping of the band, such- as fixing up their instruments and buying new uniforms, it tVas pointed out Other members of the deputation who spoke were James Miller, and Bert Bagnall. The matter is to re­ ceive further consideration ofz--the council at the next committee meet­ ing when all details wJU be care­ fully taken into consideration. Previous to the routine transaction of business, Ma^or Paterson and the members subscribed the oath of allegiance to King Edward VIII. Among the recommendations made in the report of the finance commit­ tee were the following: that the sum of $100 be paid to the Consolidated' Sand and Gravel Company for work done in 1931, the account having being held -up for investigation by the council; that the sum of $400 be placed to the credit of the Lib­ rary Board; that the sum of $9 be paid to M. Walton, Secretary-Treas­ urer of the Oxford Teachers Insti­ tute (Statutory grant); that tho amount of $500 be placed to the cred­ it of the Separate School Board. The report passed without discus­ sion. The report of the market commit­ tee was passed as read by the chair­ man J. A. Weir, which had to do with the paying of a number of accounts. In the report of the parks committee, it was recommended that the sum of $50 be placed to the cred­ it of tho Big Eight Society and that they be granted street and park privi­ leges for their annual celebration on May 24th. A number of cheques were ratified by the chairmen of the committees for payment dated from January 1st, 1936. James G. Ruddick WM present and complained to the council with re­ gard to a notice received by him last week informing him of being in arrears of taxes for 1936. Mr. Ruddick pointed out that he had dis­ posed of the property on Victoria street of which the notice referred and he contended that he no longer had anything to do with the said property and wanted {tin matter cleared up so that hie name would not go through on the books as being in arrears with his taxes; May­ or Paterson questioned Clerk ^Mc- Niven on the matter and Mr. Mc- Niven stated that the only reason for thiA mistake would be the fact that hts office WM not notified of St. Columba Missionary Society Held MeetingThe regular monthly meeting of the St. Columba Missionary Society was held on Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mra. John Reith with a good attendance. Tho president, Mrs. James McCaul presided over the meeting, which opened with a hymn and prayer Jby Mrs. D. McKay, in the absence of the secretary, Mrs. Walter Hutchison was elected to act as secretary for the meeting. The Bible reading was given by Mrs. Rice, after which the minutes were read and adopted, as was the treasurer’s report. A business discussion fol­ lowed and the roll call was respond­ ed to by a verse containing the word, “Cheerfulness.” A number of resolutions were read by Mrs. W. J. Patience. The topic, “Cheerfulness,” was well given by Miss Frances Kerr, after which a guitar duet was rend­ ered by Misses Ann and Marion Reith. A number of poems were read containing the theme, “Cheer­ fulness," by Mra Walter Hutchison. The meeting was brought to a elose with the pinging of a hymn a^id the Lord’s prayer repeated in uni­ son. Ingeraoll PublicUtilities CommissionTho regular meeting of the Inger­ soll Public Utilities Commission waa held on Tuesday evening, with May­ or J. L. Paterson in the chair due to the absence of Rev. F. C. Elliott A number of accounts were present­ ed for payment, one of which was that of tho Internationa! Water Supply Company, the amount, being $3679.42 for tho pump which was installed recently. The thirteenth power bill was presented, which, with interest amounts to $984.02. It was stated that thia is lower than was anticipated. Superintendent Hall brought to the attention of those present, a request for -lighting service on Vic­ toria street west, and pointed out that If this request Is granted by the council, the service can be installed at a modest cost to the town.

Mr. Ruddick admitted that he had not reported the case to the town clerk'but hod informed Mr. Horseman, the assessor on twa different occasions and . took . for granted’ that the' mattew would be attended to. Another complaint voiced by Mr. Ruddick was in con­ nection with the notice received by him with reference to a dog tax which, according to the notice was $2. A lengthy discussion took pfecq connection writh (the tax for the dog and it .was explained that Mr. Ruddick should only have paid $1. Mr, Ruddick contented that he owed the town no taxes of any kind. Councillor Morrison related to the members of tho council a matter brought to his attention earlier in the day by T. N- Dunn in connection with an extension of electric wiring to the farm owned by Mr. Dunn be­ yond the corporation limit on Vic­ toria street. It was indicated by Councillor Morrison that the said property was to be wired for hydro in the near future and the question arose if the council would agree to eztehd the wiring system.

VEALE, Publisher PHONES:—Tribune Office, 13 - Reridence, 442A.THURSDAY, MARCH 19th, 1936Consider The TaxpayerAccordinK to The Windsor Daily Star, Mr. W. Don­ald McGrag>or, in lbs course of his remarks as retir­ing President of the Windsor Chamber of Commerce, gave the taxpayers of that city something to think about when be pointed out that almost every other group in the city was organised and making demands on the City Council, while those who paid the bills had little to say. "Until the taxpayers organize ho said, “and impress their demands on the civic government they will not get anywhere and, as the taxpayers are the people who are paying the bills, they have a right to expect something in return." MT. McGregor went on to point out, to quote The Star, that, "the streets and alleys are dirty, vacant lota will soon be overgrown with weeds, there are stretches of the river front that look like a dump and which could be transformed into beauty spots with a little work. He sees no reason why the tax­ payers should not demand that people receiving re­ lief do something in return for the welfare." That is sound common senee. There is no reason why every able-bodied man should not do something in return for what he feceives. If he refuses to work, then he should be cut off the lists. In Wind­ sor, the City Council, according to The Star, “has taken the stand that it is unfair to ask anyone to do work in return for relief. . The Council has adopt­ ed the attitude that it will compel the taxpayers to pay taxes for relief and social service, but it will not ask those receiving the benefits to do anything in re­ turn.” There is nothing unfair in asking any man who is able to work to do some sort of job in return for the money he receives. Windsor has practised a mistaken policy. They should have adopted some system of making all able-bodied men on relief do a little work for what they are receiving. Ingersoll councils have for the past few years, adopted a plan whereby all able-bodied men on relief, are provid­ ed with work whenever it can ,be found. This past winter a large number have been employed in keep­ ing the streets clear of .m^and they were engaged last week in making channels in the icy i^oads for water to drain into the catch basins. Work has bean appreciated by the men them­ selves, and has helped to maintain their independ­ ence and .self-respect, even though their pay hns only been in relief supplies. When the snow is all gone and the weather warms up a bit, the men will, no doubt, be given work to clean up generally and put the roads in shape for summer traffic. Citizens who pay taxes have to work, and work very hard, in order to meet their obligations, and at the same time help to support those out of work. There is no reason why the latter should not render some service in return wherever it is possible. Grass May Be Better, But - - ? "What next?” was the exclamation of many when they read a news dispatch sent out last week from East Lansing, Michi.-un. The item made reference to statements mm by Dr. L, E. Kirk, Ottawa ogrostologist, who i -n due ted the annual Frank Spragg memorial lecture eries in that city. In one of his lectures, Dr. Kirk declared that the mirfaco was only scratched in the search for now uses of”farm products. He said he looked forward to the time when the housewife, preparing a salad, will clip fresh young grass, which has five hundred’ times more vitamins than fresh young lettuce. Heretofore, [we regarded grass as only fit food for animals, and while Dr. Kirk may look forward to the day when the housewife will be including it a* a salad ingredient, we would much prefer to have the lettuce, even if we have to vuffer the loss of a mere five hundred vitamins. Some may «ay, well, wc are just animals our- sdves, go why not a nice grass salad. Animals or not, we still don’t like the grass salad idea and we will, no doubt get some of our friends, rat least, to join ,with us in voicing our dbjections to Mrs. House­ wife, if she tries to pa^s off just plain cattle fodder on us for our meals. Dr. Kirk, is also quoted as saying, “Alfalfa meal makes a nourishing cereal for children; turnip juice has more vitamins than tomato juice or orange juice, and soy beans are a good substitute for peanuts." This may be, but wc feel sure all will admit that it ap­ pears a strange diet even though we must have more vitamins. We trust that thia noted agrostologfet may find something else that is more appealing if wc must he forced to eat food for vitamins. Imprisonment For Debt Considerable discussion has been provoked by a apecch delivered recently in the House of Commons by Mr. T. L. Church, Toronto, advocating the privi­ lege of paying fines on the instalment plan. There is no denying the truth that, when men are fined with the option of going to prison for a certain number of days if the fine is not paid, those who are able promptly pay the amount imposed, while those who arc unable to do so ga to prison. There is a good deal in the argument used by Mr. Church, and supported in many quarters, that the legislation is invidious in this respect. As a rule no man should be imprisoned unless he has committed an offense that makes it u nwfee for him to be at large in society. The man who is rent to prison for failure to pay biv fine is often a good citizen, lienee, the force of the argument that he should be given the privilege of paying his fine by instalments. The option of paying a fine should never be granted where a man deserves a sentence in prison for his offense. The suggestion of Mr. Church certainly is worthy at a very careful consideration. It fe said that at the present time the privilege of paying a fine by instal­ ments is sometimes granted. That is not sufficient .There should bo no favoritism, and th® privilege should not be granted to some and denied .to others. There is also the argument that perhaps the privi­ lege of paying fines by the instalment plan might s*va first offenders from the stigma of a prison sen­ tence. If the offenae.for which the fine is Impoeod does not deserve a term in jail, St would appear that there is some ground for extending the considera­ tion which Mr. Church has suggested. Mollycoddling Utilities la All WrongThe City Council on Tuesday night evaded Ite own responsibility by referring the proposal to tax the puMic-«wn«d utilities to a vote of the people. If the majority of members had been less cowardly, and less under the influence of certain newspapers, they would have voted to impose the proposed tax­ation without delay. Mayor McBride comes out of the fray with flying colors. He talked plain common sense when he indicated that public owner­ship should stand upon its own feet, instead of being moHycodriled by being relieved df taxation, which private business has to pey- This mistaken policy ptaces upon private bu^inwu and upon the small householders throughout the city the taxes which should be paid by the pifblic-owned enterprises. The Mayor was right when he said: Citizens of Toronto realize for the first time that the T. T. C., Hydro and water works have not paid taxes, and if they are to be known as public utilities under the guise of municipal owner­ ship there is no reason why, (with competent, care­ ful and efficient management, they cannot afford $1,000,000 which we exjject to receive from them. Private concerns, he went on, have to change their policies and principles in order to keep going and carry on their business. They have to prac­ tise economy or close their doors. If this can be done in private business then it can be done in public ownership and public utilities. Let Mayor McBride stand his ground. We believe that popular sentiment against the unsound policy of pap-feeding public ownership is gaining, and that the champions of the small taxpayers will yet win the day on this issue. —Toronto Mail and Empire. Partners In Business, Partners In Death In our last issue, we recorded with deep regret the death of George Smith and William James Kerr, who, since 1903 were partners in the ckithing firm of Smith and Kerr. Mr. Smith was in his 85th year while Mr. Kerr was but 58. Both had been promin­ ent in the business life of (Ingersoll for over a third of a century. Although neither had sought civic office, they were both always willing to support any measure that was for the betterment of the commun­ ity. Rarely, do two men that have been associated in business for so many years pass away within a few days of each, other. Mr. Smith’s death occurred on Thursday afternoon, March 5th and Mr. Kerr died on Tuesday noon, March 10th The passing of these two men leaves another gap in the thinning ranks of those stalwarts who made a real contribution to thd business life of Ingersoll in bringing it to the position it naw occupies. To |he last, both Mr. Smith and Mr. Kerr took n keen interest in the community where the greater part of their life had been flpen t and to whose wel­ fare both had contributed in a variety of ways. The host of friends of these deceased business men will mourn with The Tribune their passing and extend to the sorrowing families their sincere sym­ pathy. FIFTY-NINE YEARS AGO —. From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Wednesday, March 21st, 1877. A proposition for the introduction of postal cards for correspondence all over the world, at a postage of one penny, will be submitted to the Universal Postal Union, to be held in the city of Berlin. The Dunkin By-Law in the County of Oxford has been quashed on technical grounds; the By-Law will therefore be a dead letter unlwy .the decision of the court be appealed and overruled. ‘i A grand concert will be given in the VFest Oxford Methodist Church, on Thursday evening, in which the King Street Methodist choir, and several singers and readers of Ingersoll, will .participate. The past six days have been the coldest we have had this season. Tlie sleighing is very good and our streets have presented a lively appearance. Large loads wood, lumber, logs and farm produce have been brought in and have found ready sale. A correspondent writes:—Mr. Jas.

MILK BY-LAW TOBE INTRODUCED BY BOARD OF HEALTHSpecial Meeting Called To Decide What Action Should Be Taken.At a special meeting of the Board of Health last Wednesday evening, it was decided that by-law No. 1027, “regulating milk produced for Bale, offered for sale, sold or distributed within the town off Ingersoll,” would be enforced. Dr. J. G. Murray, acting milk in­ spector for the town of Ingersoll at­ tended the meeting, which was held in the town clerk’s office, and briefly outlined the milk situation with re­ gard to the by-law. The by-law was passed by the 1935 council, approv­ ed by the Minister of Agriculture, and it was felt by the members of the Board of Health, that it should be enforced or referred back to the council for amendments. The question arose as to whose duty it was to enforce the by-law. . and to this Chairman Jenvey explain­ ed that the by-law provided for its enforcement by the Medical Officer df Health and the members of the Board of Health. Medical Officer of Health, Dr. J. D. MacDonald, suggested that Dr. J. G. Murray, acting as milk Inspector for the town should receive some remuneration or salary for his ser­ vices in this capacity. Dr. MacDon­ ald was of the opinion, that Dr. Mur­ ray ,was fully qualified for this posi­ tion and was deserving of a salary for his work. Following a lengthy discussion in which all members voiced their opin­ ions, it was finally decided that the by-law should be enforced and chair­ man B. G. Jenvey instructed clerk McNiven to forward application forms to the vendors of the town, accompanied by a copy of the by­ law, notifying them that they must have a license on or before May 1st, 1936.

In one of the hardest fought games of the year, the Ingersoll Juveniles managed to secure another victory । at the expense of the Kitchener Juv­ eniles in the first game of the sec­ ond round of the play-downs for the Ontario juvenile hockey title. The score of the game on Friday even­ ing was 1 to 0 and was played be­ fore a large crowd at Thayer Arena and it just about indicate® the bal­ ance of play between the two dubs with the locals having a slight edge in the second and third period. In the first period, the ice was quite rough with a result that the puck was continually rolling, making it very difficult for any team play. There was no scoring in -this frame, although, Kitchener were in close many times. Going into the second stanza, the Ingersoll eqdad found themselves and began to make things happen. They were in many times and ehot wide or liad Dunibrook in the Kitchener cage come out to make several clever eaves. It was not until nineteen and a half minutes of the last period had elapsed was there any scoring. Fred­ die Maurice went in fast to pick up a loose puck and neatly flipped it into the net with less than a minute to go. For the visitors, Dunbrook in goal appeared to be the best man being called upon many times to save. The Ingersoll team, however, pjayed a i heady game with Sadler and Mauriee looking best on the front lines while Payne in goal had to be good on sev­ eral occasions when the Ritchies sift­ ed in past the local defence who gave him very little protection. George Hayes kept the boys play­ ing hockey and handed out penalties when they were deserved. JUNIOR AND JUVENILE CLUBSJWILL BENEFIT Senior And Intermediate Ball Club* Likely To Sponior Minor League Ball Team*. Dr. L. W. Staples, treasurer of the Intercounty Baseball Association attended a meeting of that organiza­ tion last Friday evening in Guelph end stated to The Tribune on Satur­ day thnlt nothing of any importance on the Ingersoll side of the question WftS mentioned. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing plans for the coming season and dealing with the situation which has grown serious as a result of a num­ ber of senior baseball teams ex­ pressing their desire to withdraw frem this company. One thing, however, that might be of interest locally is the fact that senior or intermediate baseball teams will have to sponsor a juven­ ile or junior team or pay half of their entry fee. If they can must­ er a minor club they will, of course, be excused from paying this sum. Thia is, in itself a splendid idea. For many years tire juveniles have had to scrape and dig along by themselves in order to play at all and under the new ruling they will likely receive some assistance from the intermed­ iate or senior teams. It is very impontant that en­ couragement be given to the juven­ ile and junior teams because it is in these ranks that perform some of the stars of tomorrow and if they are not given the proper coaching and assistance, it is going to be more difficult in years to come. It is not known just haw the In­ gersoll intermediates will line up thia year so far as a grouping is con­ cerned but it has been suggested that they might be grouped with a num­ ber of new teams. -No names have been mentioned.

Veale read a very interest­ ing article giving an account of the history of the organization in Hngersol] as follows: “This circle, (Ingersoll), was organized in 1890, with ten members enrolled. The officers were Mrs. Edward Hugill, president; Mrs. Carl Lund, secretary and Miss Mary Barr, treasurer. Three of our members have been carrying on for over forty or more years, namely: Miss Nellie Dundas, (1892); Mrs. F. P. Leake, (1893); and Mrs. 0. E. Rob­ inson, (1894). “Four circles and a city union were formed here in 1894, with Mrs. Leake, as president of the union. At that time, a Provincial Convention was held here and Mr. Leake had the honor to design a handsome .‘hidd for the city union of Ottawa. “The circle equipped four beds in Alexandra Hospital in tho women’s ward and have contributed contin­ uously to its support. “We also donate to the Ingersoll cot in Nasik Hospital, in India. We have sponsored Chautauqua courses, a Ki rm is, concerts, suppers, rummage sales, furniture and fashion shows, nerved at bowling tournaments and >fall fairs. “We are affiliated with the Child­ ren’s Shelter at Woodstock, and aid in its upkeep. We also support tho child welfare clinic. “In July and August, we assist the Kiwanis club with tho 'boys’ and girls' camp, two of our members, Mrs. Gall and Mrs. Staples, acting as camp mothers. This particular part of our work is indeed of immeasur­ able satisfaction to our circle. “At Christmas time, wo average distributing one hundred baskets of cheer to the needy as well as send­ ing gifts to the Ingersoll residents of the House of Refuge. “Our receipts for the 45 years have totalled something over ?30,- 000, &1! of which has-been mainly spent in caring for those unfortun­ ately placed." At tho conclusion of the program, a social hour was enjoyed during which time, the hostess served re­ freshments, assisted by Mrs. Fred S. Newman, Mra. George F. Janes, Mrs. James Knapp and Mra, J.

Mis Edith Ites offered a vocal solo accompanied at the piano by Robert Paterson, Principal C. L, Bole of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute gave the address of the evening, speaking on Ireland. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Bole stated that St. Patrick was not born in Ireland but .was kidnapped and taken there whore he converted the people with the permission of the king at that time. It was stated that while in Ireland, St. Patrick founded monas­ teries and it was the Irish priests who kept alive the learning in Cen­ tral Europe during the dark ages. Mr. Bole in a very descriptive man­ ner traced the advancement of the people of Ireland over a number of years, telling of famous missionar­ ies and other outstanding men and qualities of the Irish people. At the conclusion of the address, Kenneth Campbel! moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Bole for his interesting gddriess and .this was seconded by Miss Edith Ites. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of a hymn and the Benediction. Springtime Is Near, If Only Theoretically A Few Signa The gladsome springtime is just around the proverbial corner—pro­ verbial because spring is only a mere theory as yet, and winter' has a few parting blessings to convoy before hopping from tho lap of spring where the lingering process is now in full 'swing. According to technical theory, last week’s annoying blizzard must have been a misprint come to life, for there aro many spring signa to bo found in Ingersoll in spite of King Winter's temporary comeback. Sever­ al robins have been seen this week. One swallow does not mean a summ­ er or a case of intoxication, and sim­ ilarly one kmc robin does not neces­ sarily mean that spring has arrived, but when several robins in a group making unkind remarks in robin language about the weather and the weatherman, it must mean some­ thing. You can fool some of the robins all of the time, and all of the robins some of tho time, but several robins in a bunch should know better. Robins always arrive here while there is still frost in the ground, and there is not a great deal of food available for them, as they are worm specialists, but they al­ ways seem to make the grade until winter has disappeared for good. Exhibit No. 2 in the case for spring is the fact that Sunday marked the completion of the six weeks’ nap to which the groundhog has been en­ titled since he saw his shadow Feb­ ruary 2nd. Still ^another interesting note ia that the sun will cross the equator at 1.68 toniorrow (Friday) after­ noon, March 20, on his northward journey. Thus, two minutes to 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon will mark the arrival of the official spring season—the time of jear when wives step beating their husbands and start beating their rugs—the time of year when the sap rises in the trees and some saps even propose under them, or are proposed at, when it happens to bo Leap Year—the time of year when a bird in the hand Is worth two in an amateur hour.

R. Carr Phone 89 Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAR. 19,1936 First Installment BEN FURLONG came to the South­ ern oil fields looking for work. He was very dusty and quite hungry when at last he stopped in at tlx Durham 'House. This wi' a rather better-looking I place titan the average Texas home­ stead. and when he knocked at the kitchen door a girl appeared who was very much bet ter-looking than the average Texas homesteader. She was. in fact, a very pretty girl. She readily fetched Ben a drink of water, and while he rested she talked to him That was, no doubt, because of his smile. He informed her that he had been raised in the Pennsylvania fields and was a good, practical oil man.There being no chores to do, Bai sat m the kitchen and chatted with the girl while she cooked something for him. and in the course of their conversation he learned that her name was Betty Durham, that' her parents were dead, and that the farm belonged to her aunt, with whom she had lived ever since she was a little girl. The aunt had gone to Opportunity tn the family flivver- "Funny, you cooking for a tramp driller like me and your aunt owning acreage like this," Ben remarked. "Isn't this land on the structure?” “Sure! It’s worth a lot of money. That well over yonder"—fork in hand, Miss Durham indicated a derrick not far a way—'"belongs to us."Prom where he sat Furlong could see that the timbers of the tower were still bright and unstained, thus adver­ tising the melancholy fact that the well itself was not a producer, HI he in­ quired :"What's wrong with it? Dry?" "Dry nothing I They're not down yet. They've got a fishing job—been al it for a couple of weeks.”"Gee!" The visitor shook his head- “Thal’s running somebody ill debt.” "When the first oil talk commenced we'd of been glad to get the farm drilled on most any kind of royalty, but nobody would lease it. When they finally got ready, Aunt Mary wanted a beaus—two bits an aerc^and she wouldn't listen to Uncle Joe's argu­ments. By and bye they offered two bits, but by that time she wanted a dol­lar. Then the companies got together, or the boom kind of petered out. or some­ thing, and it began to look as if Uncle Joe would be lucky to make any kind of a deal. He finally laid his cars hack and leased a small block. Then he up and got killed." "That's too had," . "It was an accident A powder wagon let go." The speaker’s face grew wist­ ful, she stared out across the arid coun­tryside for a moment or two, "Uncle Joe loved me. but —Aunt Mary's his second wife; we're not really kinsfolks. It might Just as well have been Mad­ dox who got killed; he was as close to the wagon as Uncle Joe and yet lie wasn't touched. Funny, too, because he's always been afraid of the stuff and has a hunch he’ll be blown up. All you have to say to him is ’powder' and—" ‘‘How’d your aunt come to put down this new well?” "Maddox drilled the well on the lot we leased, and after Uncle Joe was killed he quit the company and sort of took charge of things for Aunt Mary. It wasn't a big well, but the royally is enough to pay for this one. I won't cook any more ham and eggs, sd you’d better make the most of these. Yes, and you'd better come and get them; they're done.” Miss Durham set a plate on the table and Furlong drew up bis chair. With the curiosity natural to his calling, the visitor inquired mure spe­cifically about the nature of the mis­ hap that had lialted Maddox’s prog­ ress, but he learned little. He inferred, however, that the royalties from the first well were dwindling at an alarm­ ing rate and that any considerable de­lay in completing the new well might therefore result in ruin to the owner. It was a prospect tlwt naturally gave Betty and her aunt grave concern.When Ben had finished eating he said: "Maybe I can give this driller of yours some help. I’ve worked on a good many fishing jobs. D'you tiiink he'd let me try?” "He will if I tell him to,” the girl declared. “He’s tried everything any­ body has told him to try. Who knows? Maybe you can do it" The speaker put on her sunbonnet and together she and Furlong went across the valley to the well. Tiller Maddox was a swarthy man of about thirty-five; his eyes were bold and black and set close together. He greeted the Durham gir! with an easy familiarity, a suggestion of proprietor­ship that gave die visitor cause for thought^ but towards Furlong he was none too cordial and when Betty ex­ plained the reason for the latter's pres­ence Maddox frowned. “Another wise guy, ch? Every rope- choker in ten miles has been tryin’ to show us how smart he is. What d'you know about fishin’. stranger?” "Not much,” Ben confessed, "but I’ve had some luck.” “Ob, I’ve had plenty of luck, my- Iselft" Maddox asserted.'‘ But 1 never ' had any pood luck Jellin' strangers monkey with my work. If you jim up ! the well, 1 take the blame." “1 won’t jim anything.""What'll you charge for this here miracle Of yours?"Impatiently Miss Durham exclaimed, “What’s the difference how much he charges if he can do—?’’"I’ve been paid for any help I can give you,” Furlong declared, “Probably 1 can t do anything, but so far I don’t I even know wiiat's wrong. Do you mind I telling me?" i "We've got a bolt in the hole." "A b ob r"Sure I A six-inch steel bolt. Il worked loose and dropped out of a tool.’’ the while Maddox vainly tried, with tile new device which his employer had brought out from town, to grapple that obstinate piece of steel a fifth of a mile beneath his feet But it was blind work, monotonous work, dispir­iting work; time after time the clumsy fishing tool was raised and lowered, but its jaws refused to seize the troublesome bolt. It was a job as ho;>c- less and as baffling as trying to pick up a pin with a pair of fire tongs attached to a string. *The engineer of th# rig watchejAur- long’s work with the interest ot^pM low machinist, arid of him the latter inquired finally:“Say! How come Mr. Durham to get killed?”"He was biowed up. It was when the “You’ve been experimenting for two Let Mr. Furlong have "That’s a new one." Ben admitted. "Why don't you drill it out, pound it to pieces?”Maddox grinned. "That's what we i been tryin' to do, but it’s tempered harucr than the bit It dulls every tool we use and all we been doin’ for two weeks is sharpen steel.”"Can't you drill past it?" "How you soils* to sidetrack a six- inch bolt loose in the bottom of a hole?” "You can drive it into the wall.""Oh, you can, can you? We’re into a stratter of iron pyrites an’ the rock's dam' near as hard as the bolt. It’s much as ever a tool will cut it at all. That bolt just shifts around in the bottom of the hole like it was in a steel cup, an’ it's too small to grapple. I s'pose we could get holt of it with some fancy kind of a magnet if wc could get holt of some fancy kind of a magnet that would get holt of it," Again Mad­ dox grinned.Betty Durham was staring as Fur­ long with an apprehensive pucker be­tween her brows. "Ain't that our luck, for a little bitty old boll to ruin every­thing? Can you think of any way—?" “I can think of one way tliat won't cost much to try.” "I don't want any strangers experi­mentin' around—" Maddox began; but the girl exclaimed, sharply, "You've been experimenting for two weeks pt a hundred dollars a day, haven't you? It's our well. Let Mr. Furlong have a go at it.” The driller executed an exaggerated gesture of acquiescence. "Right you are, Betty ! But if this feller puts it on the bum, don't blame me." Then to Ben he announced: "Help yourself, pard- ner. Yon heard the boss."When Furlong had fully satisfied himself as to conditions be took off his coat and went to work. He knew of no fishing loo! so designed as to pick up an object so small and as easily movable as a six-inch bull, therefore he made one. He took a short length of steel casing of a diameter small enough to slip into the well, and in one end of this he cut teeth several inches long. It was a labor that consumed time: lie was still at it when Betty reappeared at the well about dark and advised him that his supper was waiting. Mrs. Durham had returned from town. She was a woman of indetermin­ ate age. Her eyes were pale; her nose was hooked like the beak of a hawk; her lips were thin and set in avaricious lines. Immediately upon meeting Fur­ long she wanted to know whether he believed his experiment would succeed, how he proposed to go about it, how long it would take, and the like. Ben was noncommittal and he refused to raise her hopes. Before he had finished his meal he had convinced himself that the woman stood tn some lort of dread of Tiller Maddox and that her fear of antagonizing him almost equaled her anxiety for Furlong’s success. Ren wondered why. Another fact he dis­covered—Betty and her aunt were not on the best of terms. After supper, by the light of a gaso­ line torch, Furlong resumed his work weeks at a hundred dollars a day— a go at it," said Betty. Planet Company was getting ready to pul down that well on the northeast comer. Maddox was workin' for the company then- movin’ the rig onto the ground- A powder wagon came by an’ the driver stopped to ask his »»y. You've seem them trucks—six ho cd odd quarts of nitroglycerine m squa « cans all set in felt-lined racks to kcey 'em from jarring I alius been scaled of ’em, but them drivers pound then wagons over these rough roads like it's so much .molasses they got. Old n:aa Durham went across to the road and give him directions—he stood there watchin’ the wagon as it drove on. The driver was trottin’ his hosses, an’ when he crossed the railroad track it let RO. Jar-net it off, I s'pose. Tiller sayshesaw it all, but he don’t remember bearin’ a sound or fcelin' a shock of any sort. All lie seat was a big black cloud, an’ when he looked for Old man Durham he wasn't there. The twice was gone, too." "What happened to the driver?" "What d'you reckon happened? All the trace they ever found of him or the outfit was part of a boss’s leg bangin' on a telegraph cross-arm about a hun­ dred yards up the grade. There was a hole thirty foot wide where the wagon had been and the railroad iron was corkscrewed for a quarter of a mile. They found quite a bit of Mr. Durham —enough to hold a funeral over." "And Maddox wasn’t scratched! That stuff certainly acts queer at times I” "They fingered some air current was responsible^ Kind of a Godsend for Tiller, wasn’t it?" "Not to be killed? Sure—" “Naw ! To get in with the widder an’ Betty. Lucky for them, too, that he took to lookin' out for 'em. Tf he makey this well they’ll lie movin' into one of them Dallas mansions with marble bed­ steads.” “Humph! He'll never make a well if he keeps dropping hardware in it. In my country a driller that careless would lose his job." "Tiller won’t lose his job,” the en­ gineer asserted, positively. "He don’t lose anything he goes after.” In the course of time Furlong fin­ished cutting the end of his steel casing into a series of teeth, and these teeth he then bent slightly inward. This done, he attached the device to a tool and lowered it into the hole. Even Betty Durham and her aunt Mary, who looked on with growing suspense, un­ derstood now how he proposed to pick up that bolt. He had shaped those ta- pering teeth so that they resembled the curving finger* of a hand, and his deli­ cate task was to drive the casing home against the steel-hard bottom of the well until those fingers closed, until he clinched them over the obstacle. It waa a task less difficult than it xoonds.

WILFORD While speaking of beautifying the town, it will be remembered that plans were under way last fall to trim the trees in Ingersoll and free them from (lead branches. This was, at that time, a splendid idea, but thus far, very little has been said or done in this direction. It will be too lato in a short time and any work in this regard will have to be held over for a time.

Mr. Carroll then referred to the splendid work being carried on by the Ontario Plowmen’s Association. Last year, they held an international plowing match in Haldimand county near Caledonia and thousands of people from all parts of the country were present. While the agricult­ ural societies of the province have accomplished a great deal in the past few years, they still have a lot to do, he said. Speaking along horticultural lines, । the speaker made reference to the beauty of Ingersoll. He stated that when he visited the Ingersoll Fair in 1934 he was impressed with the cleanliness of the grounds and in hfc opinion he thought it was one of the best kept grounds in the prov­ ince of Ontario. He also added that the Horticultural Society of Ingersoll was doin^ splendid work. Dealing with the question of tour­ ist trade, Mr. Carroll held that this is one of our most profitable indua- tries and through it we are able to sell butter and many other products of the farms each year. It was sug­ gested that this industry be encour- QUALITY SERVICE STAN. GALPIN FINEST OF MEATS,'GROCERIES.

So if yo^want quality goodt—-Wo have that kind. speaker was not in accord with the environment of secondary schools and said that he did not think they were being just fair about the atti­ tude they took toward rural mattere. Mr Carroll explained that in most cases these schools are attended by almost 50 per cent, rural students, who, in their first year are unfamil­ iar with the surroundings as well as the pupils and teacher while tiie other students appear to be right at home. Th© tendency in a case like this has bsen .that there is very little effort made to show any mark­ ed interest in rural life. As * result, the rural students take one or two years’ iWork at a secondary school and return to their homes. It was stated that the Department of Education is planning some adjust­ ments in this regard. You have been very fortunate here in Oxford, because the produce from this part of the province has found a comparatively ready sale. It la true, added Mr. Carroll that some of the farmers have not received the prices that they thought they should, but in any event, they have been in a position where they could get some kind of price for their labor and feed. But, there are the beef cattle men, who since 1927 have been un­ able to sell or get anything for their labor. Your duties as Kiwanians, conclud­ ed Mr. Carroll, like the duties of membera of other organizations of a similar nature, appear to be very trying at times, but it is the people who are carrying the load that are the most happy, E. J. Chisholm voiced the thanks and appreciation of the members of the club to Mr. Carroll for his splen­ did address. ' Living up to all expectations, the spring floods this year nre causing thousands of dollars worth of dam­ age in parfti |of (Canada and tthe United States. With an exception­ ally heavy fall of snow this last winter, it is only natural that the floods are worse than in former years and to date, many families in Eastern Ontario have been forced to vacate their homes. This is one thing* the citizens of Ingersoll should feel thankful for. To sit in their homes and make themselves comfort­ able without the fear of their homes or loved ones being lost by raging torrents of water. Ingersoll resi­ dents should really appreciate the fact that they are free from such experiences. It is always gratifying to hear someone remark of some effort that has been made to improve on a situation and so it was at the regular luncheon of the Ingersoll Kiwanis club on Friday. Mr. J, A. Carroll, the speaker, in the course of his interesting address, made mention of the local fair grounds, stating that in his opinion, they jwere as well kept as any in the province of Ontario. He also paid tribute to the work of the Ingersoll Horticultural Society for their active interest in the beauty of the town. With hundreds and thousands of American and Canadian tourists making their way through Ingersoll every summer, it is only reasonable that untiring efforts should be exercised in making this town one of the most interesting in the province. Surely, the remarks of Mr. Carroll will increase the in­ terest of the citizens of Ingersoll in keeping their homes and properties dean and attractive.
