WE DO THE REST!
INGERSOLL, ONTARIO
Wohelo Class n?e --.
mber� held. their
March meeting in the school roam of
the Uxnited •March Monday eyenin'g,
March 24, with, Mrs. Wee. Jones pre-
siding.' The meeting opened: by sing,
ing, "Father, Lead IRie Day By Day,"
atter which the I-,ordie Prayer was re-
peated in unison. Mrs. Ross Forrest
read -the Scripture lesson, John 15,
verses 1 to 17. Miss Barbara Michie,
the guest speaker, gave,a very Inter-`
eating address on "1'm a 'Canadian,"
in which she stressed the need of
each other, , sat their. handle to a new
task. "One was Daniel Massey, the
other, Alanson . Harris. What came
front the work they began has long•
since advanced beyond the limits of
their brightest dreams. The business
which they founidied has passed far
beyond the control of those who still
bear their honored names."
Mr. Brockington .likened) the expan-
sion of the company—the Massey and
Harris enterprises were amalgamated
in 1891 -to the 'development of agri-
culture in Canada. He recalled that
the first wheat was grown in Canada
330- years atgo by Louis Hebert near
what is now Quebec and traced the
conquest of the soil up through the
years to 1944 when, he said, Canada
exported- nearly 1,000 million dollars
worth ;of food and agricultural pro-
ducts to help a shattered -world.
"At the time when Daniel Massey
'and Alanson Harris began- to make
their plows and rakes," he stated, "it
was considered good work far two
men to cut and bind three acres of
grain in the course of a summer day.
Today the great grandson and even
the great granddaughter of a farmer
of 1847 can cut and thresh 50 acres
of grain between -sunrise and sunset.
The. average farming of the Canadian
man today_is 85 acres.
"Labor on the farms of Canada in
1847 was usually an unbroken and un-
relieved and a wearing task," he stat-
ed. "'For, by that time, very few and
small improvements in the implements
of its toil had been made. With the
work of men in the United States and•
elsewhere, and of Massey and Harris
in Canada, there began about the year
1850 one of the greatest revolutions
the world has ever known, the begin-
ning of mechanized farming. The re-
volution straightened the bowed back
of the man with the hoe and lifted
the head of•theman harrowing. clods.
It marked the beginning of the end of
agricultural slavery. The many invert,
tions • which have brought about this.
:spectacular changeinclude the in-
genious rakes, the steam plows, the
seed drtls he reapers,
l 't the •binders'
Pe'
the.•tractors and today, the tractorless
combine..
"The "'discovery of these devices im-
measurably reduced the toil of the
farmers of the world in general; and
of N,erth America in particular: tt"
freed at least some portion of their
lives for leisure; it released millions
of men for other industrial pursuits;
it raised the standards of living and
wages, not . only on the farm but in
nearly every activity of life.' It open-
ed up new lands and hastened the set-
tlement upon our Western Prairies;
it made possible the industrial devel-
opments of Europe and America and
tomorrow it will revolutionize Asia
and Africa, •.-., Between the years of
1932 and 1938 alone the number of
agricultural tractors in use in awak-
ening Russia was multiplied by three
and is increasing today in no lets a
proportion.')

It would be a credit to this' com-
munity to .have an. arena where the
young and old alike could enjoy a
good evening's entertainment' by eith-
er watching a hockey game, or else
partake in a skating session them-
selves. It would also relieve the
minds of 'parents to know that their'
children are skating or playing hock,
ey under supervision •of shelter from

There is talk of erecting a; covered
rink in Heneall next winter, to serve
this area, but talk alone will not build
an arena. If this talk is to develop
into anything tangible it should be
directed tdwards•°res.ponsible citizens
who would put all suggestions before
Ithe proper organization.. This is not
, asking too much of the citizens of
Hensel' and district, who would, like
to see their sone and daughters grow
up to be healthy sports -minded t;iti-
zens of the future. It is while they.
are young that' they learn the true
value of combining with •their felbw

Canada's Health
Cold Danger '
Prevention of illness has been com-
pared by a leading Canadian medical
scientist to avoidance of accident
since, he points out, it depends in
large measure on keeping out of dan
gerous situations.
Most common infections, say, this
authority, are acquired by way of
nose or mouth, through the air we
breathe and the 'food we eat. His
.advice is—'Avoid talking `at' people,
if you have a cold, . and keep out of
the 'line of fire' if another person has,
one. Always wash your hands im-
mediately before eating, and' be -par-
ticularly careful how, and •hy whom,
your food is served, if you are eating
out.,, d
•
- Health Habits '
If you offer little children tea or
coffee, don't expect them to grow ,up
to prefer health -giving milk, warn the
experts.
If you have raised a family in a
home with wirld:ows always tightly
closed, den't be surprised that the
-nhabit persists long afteryour chil-
dren have grown up.
