WELL KNOWN VETERAN FOUND DEAD IN ROOM SUNDAY AFTERNOON WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT PASSES AT PT. BURWELL Mr. Azariah Vaughan, well-known to many Ingersoll people who spend summer vacations in Port Burwell, died at his home there oh Thursday. Mr. Vaughan, who was born in Vi­ enna, 77 years ago, had spent most •of his life on" the lakes. He was the last of the three survivors of the sailing vessel, “Erie Wave”, which was wrecked off Clear Crcdk, 57 years ago. For the past several years he had operated a market garden, supplying vegetables to the summer cottage residents, whom he enter­ tained with tales of his experiences on the lake vessels. He is survived by his wife, also six children, 21 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. The funeral vras held on Saturday with interment taking place in the Vienna Cemetery. When relatives became alarmed and instituted a search for Arthur McMillan, his body was found in his room in the Condos block on Sunday afternoon. The last time relatives had been in touch with him whs Christmas Day when he enjoyed the festivities at the home of his brother, Clarence McMillan, Carroll street. He left there apparently in his usual health. On Sunday afternoon Clarence McMillan and a cousin, Roy McMih lan located the body and Dr. II. G. Furlong, coroner, estimated he had been dead about four days. It was determined that death was due to natural causes. The late Mr. McMil­ lan had been known to have a heart condition that had caused alarm. A vetern of the war of 1914-18, Mr. 'McMillan had been very well known, having served as a member of the Ingersoll Fire Department for a number of years and also as jani­ tor of the municipal buildings. He was employed at the Ingersoll Mach­ ine and Tool Co., and lived alone in the Condos block. He was 50 yean) of age and is survived by four brothers, Ben, Windsor; John, Stan­ ley and Clarence of Ingersoll and ono son, William of Ingersoll.- The funeral was held from the* Fred S. Newman Funeral Home on Monday afternoon with service at two o’clock, conducted by Rev. Car­ man J. Queen, rector of St James’ Anglican Church. While the funeral was of a private nature, there was a large number of relatives present and numerous floral tributes to show respect to the memory of de­ ceased. Interment took plaee at the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery and the pallbearers were were Roy McMillan, Charles Guilford, Roy Johnson Frank Anderson, Henry Anderson and Russell Stringer. REV. H. W. SNELL GOES TO YARMOUTH HEIGHTS II Zenda Skating Rink Had Grand Opening Zenda community gathered force on Monday evening at the new skating rink to celebrate the open­ ing. Skating was enjoyed by about 200 old and young, to. the gliding strains of Ralph Anscombe’s public address system. Hbt coffee and sand­ wiches were served by the Zenda Mission Circle. The church shed at Zenda United Church, of which Rev. R. B. Cumming is the minister, has been transformed into a modern skat­ ing rink, 115 feet long and 50 feet wide. For the past month various committees have been hard at work levelling the surface, boarding the sides, erecting a comfortable dress­ ing room with floor and stove com­ plete, and flooding the rink with ample light. Goal cages have been made and everything is now in readiness for a glorious season of skating and hockey, with the co-oper­ ation of the weather man. The committees responsible for the renovations were: Ice Committee. Bob Harvey, Fred Harrison, Sam Banbury, Donald Swance, Floyd Swance, Sam Chambers, Albert Ben-1 nington, Charles Wilson. Carpenter work committee, J. J. Poole, Lome Coventry, Charles Harrison; proper­ ty committee, Milton Banbury, Fred Harrison, Robert Kirkpatrick; light­ ing committee, George Thomas, J. J. Poole; program committee, San) Chambers, George Thomas, Ronald Pearson, Albert Bennington, Maq (Cooper.

The care- 1 takers are Floyd Swance and Sam 5 Banbury. The rink will close each ' evening at 10.30. { CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES WERE VERY LARGELY ATTENDED Midnight service on Christmas eve was attended by a large con­ gregation at St. Jamea* Anglican Church. The hymn, “The First Now­ ell” was sung for the processional through the church with descant taken by the choir. Hymns and carols were sung by the congregation. During the assembling of the con­ gregation, prior to the service, Mrs. Victor Brooks sang from the gallery, “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” and during the service Mrs, D. E. Dea- mude sang “O Holy Night.” During the offertory, the choir gave a very fine rendering of the anthem, “The First Christmas Morn.” Mrs. E. A. Gilling presided at the organ. Celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion began at midnight, and was conducted by the rector, Rev. Carman J. Queen, assisted by Rev. S. W. Semple of Thamesford. On Christmas morning at ten o’clock, a Communion service was conducted by Rev. Carman J. Queen. This service also was well attended. The church was beautifully decor- ated for the festive season with il­ luminated Christmas trees and ever- i greens being used in the nave, while masses of white chrysanthemums and candles in tall holders, adorned the chancel and the sanctuary. WAR BRIDE’S LOST PURSE FELL INTO HONEST HANDS A British war-bride’s Christmas shopping was suddenly interrupted here the other day when she lost her purse containing $50.00. Frantic­ ally retracing her steps she went to the stores where she had made pur­ chases in an effort to find the lost purse. Luck was with her when she found an honest merchant who had it, it having been turned over to him by an honest customer who found it in his store. The distressed war bride’s tears turned to smiles when her purse and all its contents were re­ stored to her and the shopping was resumed. SMART WOMEN BRIGHTEN HOMES BY PERSONAL LOAN FI Announcement has been made that Rev. Horace W. Snell, who acted as interim-rector of St. James’ Anglican Church last summer, has been ap­ pointed rector of St. Luke’s Church,Yarmouth Heights. Prior to coming to Ingersoll Rev. Mr. Snell was superintendent of the ■Mohawk Institute, Brantford. CHRISTMAS MAILS HEAVIER THAN Postmaster S. A. Gibson exceptionally heavy mails local post office over the season. While overseas parcels were fewer in number than during the war years, there were still a great many both to and from the British Isles, as war-time friendships remain. The number of Christmas cards handled was far in excess of other years, and Mr. Gibson mentioned the fact that both the public and manu­ facturers are cooperating in con­ nection with a request made for some years that only cards that will fit easily into a post office box be used. Many .beautiful cards have been ruined by being bent when put in the box, busy postal clerks not having time to give them special attention. Citizens of Ingersoll have reason to be grateful for the service and courtesy extended by the post office staff, even at the height of the rush, when fatigue might easily have fray­ ed tempers a little.

All the front windows on the first floor were done by the boys of Mis^ Effie Bower’s room in grade 8. In the centre of each window is an imi­ tation holly wreath in cellophane. These are surrounded by snow balls and icicles done with show card paint. On the second floor, a huge red glowing Christmas candle if painted in the lower centre of each window, the upper part of the pane being done in midnight blue, dotted with stars. These were done by mem­ bers of the staff, Misses I. Cornish, V. Goodwill and C. Peck. The decorations ■ showed up par­ ticularly well on the evening of the carol singing, when the school rooms were illuminated, but is has not been possible to have the lignts on since then. However even in the day­ light the effect is so fine that passing motorists have been impressed by it. High praise is due the decorating committee, consisting of Miss Bower Mrs. Weber, and Mrs. Shier, ns well ' as Misses Cornish, Goodwill and Peck for their work in this connect­ ion.

The hang­ over to post-war day* continues so. Shortages and substitutes have driven many a housewife to des­ peration; some have even given up the effort, pre­ ferring to find other work. Broken homes, hearts and lives have been the result in many cases. Those who have stayed on the job through thick and thin, received a well-merited tribute froin^ha King on Christmas Day, when he said: “The house­ wife—perhaps the most gallant figure of all— still bears many of the extra burden* which she bore so bravely throughout the war.” Too often there has been a tendency in some quarters to speak slightingly of housekeeping. Any woman choosing it as a career was thought lacking in ambition. There are housekeepers and house­ keepers, some of whom apply so much intelligence and skill to their work that they make of it an art; others have reason to be ashamed of their job, because of what they have made of it. It is said that the women of the Royal Family are all capable housekeepers—that if circum­ stances required it, they could run their own estab­ lishments well. Queen Mary is said to be art excellent piemaker. So the King knew what he was talking about when he referred to the war­ time worries of women. He has probably heard those problems discussed in his own family circle, and he knows from experience, the comfort of a home when it is a woman’s first consideration. Housekeeping is homemaking, and when a wo­ man does it well she is in the company of the finest of her sex. PERSONALS Mr. A. Dominey of Detroit, spent Christmas with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.

King's Message, A Good Motto “Greet the unseen with a cheer”, were the clos­ ing words of His Majesty’s fine message to his people on Christmas Day. That expression will probably become a classic, as its exalting note touches something deep in human nature. It might well become the motto of every citizen of Ingersoll for the coming year. Where is there greater opportunity for initiative, advancement and honest work, than right here, where much renovating is awaiting attention? It is possible for shabbiness to develop right before our eyes and because of the gradualness of the process, for us to become so accustomed to the sight, that we are not fully aware of the true condition of things until a sudden jolt makes us realize it. Then something usually happens. Ingersoll people finally reached that state of realization and voted unanimously for a sewerage system and a new hospital. Those are municipal projects and, as such, will be dealt with. However, there remains much for individuals to do. A recom­ mended New Year’s resolution is for each one to tidy up their property; get rid of useless old build­ ings, that are an eyesore in some cases; plant trees where they would add to the appearance of the town; cut down those no longer useful or beau­ tiful; dispose of refuse lying about. Make the old home town—bless it!—spic and span. The unem­ ployment figure can be kept at zero, if we “greet the unseen, and its opportunities with a cheer.” A Happy and Busy New Year To All!” Last Friday evening, the employees of the Mor­ row Screw Co., Limited, waited upon Mr. J. Dales at his home, Oxford street south and presented him with a handsome secretary as a mark of the esteem in which he is held by his fellow workmen.

What One Can Do, Others Might Do Also Every newspaper publisher carries a few sub­ scribers on his books. Perhaps they have neglected to renew their subscription promptly, but he takes a chance on them, sending the paper anyway, and in most cases they eventually get around to set­ tling the account. Pleasant it is to find the other types of sub­ scriber the one who pays in advance. But when one cornea along and pays for ten years in advance, the publisher rubs hi* eyes. Such was the case at the Tribune office the other day, when a cheque waa received to cover subscription to this paper for the next ten years. It made the editorial back stiffen. To think of there being anyone in this world willing to put their money on us for the next ten years! '‘That is more than the statesmen of the world appear to be prepared to do for each other. In this small comer of the world a sincere effort will be made to justify that subscribers faith in us. We cannot be sure of being here to fulfill the con­ tract to the end, but will do 6ur best as long as possible. Extension of that same faith in the larger realm of nations might accomplish all that could be desired for the/happiness and welfare of the human family. The Misses Dorothy and Marion Richardson spent New Year's with friends in Windsor. Messrs. Cecil Riddle, Gordon Sandick and Stan­ ley Brown left thia week to take a course at the O.A.C., Guelph.

To Help The Whole Country The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, which has been of untold value in assisting Western farmers, is to be extended to cover the Eastern Provincesas well, according, to an announcement made by Dr> E. S. Archibald, Director of Experimental Farm Service, under the Federal Department of Agri­ culture. Thia news is being enthusiastically received by those interested in problems relating to farming and soil conservation. It seems the only sensible way to deal with the problem, for very often the cause of a drainage or moisture situation lies far The first annual ball of the Ingersoll Art Gal­ lery Association, was held in the town hall on Fri­ day evening, December 27th.

PIC th T e U R y E e a m r ak is in g f u a n t — an b y u t s ea p s i o ct n u r o e f making during the winter months is an experience which I think is almost unequalled.for one thing, the air on a brightwinter's day Is usually so crystal clear that every detail of the land scape la revealed tor miles andmiles. Then too, fresh fallen snowgives such a new feeling to even familiar streets and fields that no one could blame any photographerfor running wild during the winterBut as I think we’ve all learnedby now, “running wild” with a. camera doesn’t necessarily guaran­ tee good pictures because goodsnow scenes take some thought andplanning^' For instance, if you want thevery beet in snow scenes, plan to take your pictures when the sun isshining. That will give them bril­liancy and snap. Plan also to make your pictures before ten In the morning or after three-thirty In the afternoon. Form and texture tn snoware at their peak during thosehours, because the long low raysof light stretch across the groundand accentuate every little depres­ sion and shadow in the landscape. But whether you work in the morning dr afternoon, always use afilter to Increase the contrast inyour snow scenes. A medium or a deep yellow filter will give the most pleasing tones, but if you wantvery white snow and very darkskies a red filter is the one youshould choose. Here’s just qpe more tip for bet­ter snow scenes: look for subjectswhich are side-lighted—like the birches in our illustration—and you’ll produce snow scenes withgreater eye appeal than if snappedwith your back to the sun.

He is Rrcatly aurp^.redto see Dronda Moore, stage star, at thisparty. On a previous occasion Jimmyhad Ms-ed rtiunda, Lad Rotten slapped,and Buffered the suspension of hlabecause of his act. Jimmy resigns hisfob as pilot, calls on Dronda and asks “But it can’t be, Helen. Theremust be some mistake Philip isin love with me.”“How interesting.* “Well, he is. And you needn’tbe so sarcastic.” “And you should watch yourtongue, Sally.” Unable to con­trol herself, Helen whirled to face her. “It’s about time thatyou realized that other peoplehave feelings, too.” viously, I must look out for you,too.”She patted his shoulder andwent out with a firm, brisk step.And stopped short, as Jimmycame up the stairs with the usual bounce In his manner. “Why, hello, cherub. Come tosee the old master?” “To see Mike, Jimmy. We were conspiring against you." “Swell. Never let it be saidthat Jimmy Kennedy has unin­teresting friends.” She noted that he seemed much more animated than usualand the urge to hurt him shotthrough her. “You have no friends, Jimmy, just acquaintances.” "Hey, that isn’t fair.” "Since when have you any right to tell me or anyone that?You’ve never played fair in yourwhole life.” “I told you I wasn’t reliable.I told you not to make a fool ofyourself.” ’’After I’d fallen in love withyou.” "Yeah, and I told Sally thesame thing, too.” "You seemed willing not selong ago.”Sally nodded. "I—I deservedthat I guess. My only excuse lathat I wasn’t myself. Funny, Ithought I was such a level-head­ed girL And all along I wasn’t" Mr. Perkin looked at Mr.Burke, and coughed. “A most unusual request, sir. And Imight add, one impossible toernnt." ”1 know. I know. Only whatwould you do Mr. Perkin, if you had a girl like Dronda Mooregiving orders to you?”"Women, sir, give no orders tome.”"I envy you. Cross my heart I envy you.”"Tut, Mr. Burke, the trick istc be firm. Firm, sirrah!” ’’Her eyes are green and nev­er was there such a figure.”"Ahem I I have had tne pleas­ure of seeing Miss Moore andI agree with you.” "At least put those people inthe crew.” "A most unusual request.”’’Maybe,” said Bill Burketemptingly, "I can even getDronda to say she likes flying.” O T T A W AWEEK BY WEEK— By M. L. Schwartz —rency matters if the nation with­draws from the IMF. This is empha­sized now since there seems to be apopular opinion that the IMF forcesany country to fix its currency rateand to stick to it regardless of fu­ture desires. Surprised, the stewardesscould only stare at her. Then she hurried forward soothingly."I’m sorry, Helen. I—I just couldn’t believe it” "Well, you may believe itnow.” “But. . .”“It's quite true. I don't wishto discuss it further." And Helen continued to thekitchen, so furious that she ac­tually broke one of her prized willowware plates. . . , Mike threw up his hands inmock defense as he let her intothe apartment a few hours later.Surprisingly, Helen's fury had not abated, though she was usu­ally bard put to it to remainangry at anyone for five min­utes "I surrender, Helen. Pret­ty please, I surrender." “Goose!” She sat down nearthe window. “Well, give.” “Say, you're really angry.”“Sure I am. I’m sick of herdarn temperament. Can't shetake a licking?” "Why should she?"Helen snapped her fingers.“Oh, skip it. What gives, Mike?”"Jimmy and Sally, of course."She met bis eyes, then said very clearly: "You’re a fool, youknow.”"Am I? I don’t know what you mean.”“You love her, my chick. Andthe age of chivalry died with the bustle. Nobility doesn’t pay off.I know.” “Surely you don't believe I’min love with her. Helen, howcan you be so silly 1” “Well? Let's have the rest ofIt."“I’m going to talk to Jimmy.I think I can sock some senseinto him. That little businesswith Dronda isn’t all moonlightand roses. Jimmy is beginningto feel annoyed. This morning he just growled when I men­tioned dear Dronda’s name.”“So?”"So you go to work on Sally.Try to talk some sense into her. Try to stop her from playing thefool.”“Yes, try and stop her."“You’ve never been pessimis­tic, Helen. Don’t go sour on me,please.”"Why not let her take herLicking?”’"And Philip? Come, Helen.You know perfectly well I’mnot built that way. Why should Sally ruin his life?”"She won't. Haven’t you seenthe morning paper? Mr. PhilipJethrup and Miss Catherine Win­gate are going to be married.” His face came aglow. "Thenall we have to do is knock somesense into them and everything will be all right.”"Except for us, Mike.”"Helen, are you still carrying that torch?”"Why not? I am very fond of’ Jimmy, Mike.” "But. . . .”"And I don’t Intend to give him up. Do you think I did whatI did only to lose out at the lastmoment?” "What did you do, Helen?” he asked with great weariness. He•at down ngnin and burled his(ace in his hands."Mike,” she said affectionate*fr, "you’re an idiot Very ob- “And I don’t Intend to give him up.** "After she’d fallen in love withyou.” "Did cold-cut Sally finally getaround to admitting it herself?”"Just a random observation ofmine, Jimmy.” He consulted his wrist-watch, a new one, a rather expensiveone, and laughed happily."You’ll have to excuse me, Hel­en. You’re beautiful, your con­versation is delightful, but I've got to pack.” Like twisting a knife in herheart, in a way, and smiling asbe did it. "Pack? Jimmy, where are yougoing?”"Places, cherub. To Buffalo, then to Los Angeles and deaf oldHollywood. Dronda and I are going to be married. You mayhave the honor ’ of being thefirst to congratulate me.”"You know what, Jinjmy?”"Wbat?” he asked, nettled by her evasion."I think I'm going to let youdo it. Yes, I think I really will let you do it.”"Hey," he shouted after her. Then made a wry face becauseshe kept on going down thestairs. Sally didn’t think life was sobeautiful. She had been closeted with her mother for almost ahalf-hour now, and the more shethought of it the more convinced she was that life at best was amess. After years and years of loyalservice to the Jethrups, hermother was on the verge of be­ ing discharged. Not because shehad failed to do her duty, but be­cause she had thought her duty was more important than herown welfare. Disgraceful, utter­ ly disgraceful, she thought, notat all aware that she herselfwas by way of being a little hypocrite.“I won’t allow it. Mother. I won't allow them to fire you.”“It’s too late now, Sally" her mother answered bitterly. “Youhave never tried to help, that hasalways been your trouble. If youhad played your cards correct­ly. . . .” “I never was in love withPhilip.”“Love? Don’t make ma laugh. With a fortune involvad mustyou be so trite?"“I’d have to live with the man, Mother.” ‘The whole world likes flying,Mr. Burke. Still, a word from her would be helpful. Yes, I thinkthe matter might be arranged.” Mike looked at Jimmy andshrugged. They had been goingat it hammer and tongs for an hour, and so far Jimmy hadjust laughed. Give up a gal likeDronda for Sally?“Nuts. And I'm not insultingher when I say she doesn’t holda candle to Dronda, either, Mike.So why not shut up and let medo my packing in peace?" Mike sighed and started thewhole dreary business over again. The news of the impend­ing marriage had rattled him fora minute; then his quick brainhad seen a way to use the new*to his and Sally’s advantage. “Peace? What peace will youever have from now on? Look,Jimmy, we've been pals for along time. I know what avia­tion has meant to you. Yes, and freedom, too. And you’re givingall that up for a woman?"“What better reason to givethem up is there?”“You’re talking to Mike, Jim­ my, not one of your girls. I’mnot at all impressed.” “Nor just a bit jealous?”Mike stiffened, then relaxed.“You know that isn’t it I’m thinking about you, remember­ing the swell kid you were whenwe first got to know one another. I don’t want to see you throwyourself away.”“Hollywood is a nice place to throw yourself away in, Mike.Good climate, lots of money.” “Whose money, Jimmy?”“Dronda’s. Don’t look soshocked. If I don't mind youhave no right to.”"Just a gigolo! What a come­ down for a guy who could havemarried a dozen swell girls justfor the asking.”"Like Sally. Mind sitting onthis damned suitcase?”Mike didn't get a chance tosay that he did mind. The ’phonerang. It was Perkin. When Mike turned to look at Jimmy his facewas wrapped in thought. Now what in the name of all that wasgood did Dronda want with himand Sully and Helen?“The suitcase, Mike?”Maybe the girl had something up her sleeve? Maybe he shouldkeep his fat mouth shut and waitand see? -u—-■ FOR . . . WALL c o TO King East The office boy had been missing for the best of the morning. “Where the dickens have you been, boy?” his employer demanded furiously, when at long last the lad sauntered in. “To the post office, sir,” replied the boy with a virtuous air. The employer gasped. “And does it take you two hours to post s'let­ ter?” he inquired s*artically. “I beg your pardoH sir,” said the lad with some heat, Three letters!” S. M. DOUGLAS & SONS Wall'Faper, PaintTand Furniture Store POLITICAL PUZZLESWhile the Federal Governmentgained another seat in the Richelieu-Vercheres by-election in Quebec, producing no surprise since it was occupied for 35 years by the late Hon. P. J. A. Cardin, leader of the Liberals in Quebec, who won it in 1945 by no less than 12,873 votes against his nearest opponent’s 3,080 votes, yet this election has been fol­ lowed by a flood of stories about supposed changes in the Libera] Party organization in Quebec, par­ ticularly its leadership. Indeed these stories which are now circulating on Parliament Hill claim that some drastic changes are under considera­ tion and rumor has it that, when the reorganization is completed, it may bring new faces into the Senate or on the Bench, with new leaders in Quebec’s provincial and federal political fields. Furthermore, it is also said that changes may be in the making in other sections of the country, par­ ticularly connecting the names of some Provincial Premiers as possible new additions to the Federal Govern­ ment, before the next general elect­ ions. This would, of course, be in tune with Premier King’s actions in previous years when he had invited Provincial Premiers to join his Gov­ ernment At least, two Provincial Premiers are now mentioned in ru­ mors in this respect. REDUCING EXPENDITURES It is hinted along Parliament Hill that taxes will come down soon and apparently in line with this there appears to be in preparation a policy of retrenchment in public expendi­ tures as estimates are being made for the 1947-48 fiscal year. In fact it is suggested that, when these new estimates are completed, they may be more likely to remind the aver­ age taxpayer of peacetime expendi­ tures than has been true lately, though of course, it must be realized that it will not be the same as in prewar years on account of mori ser­ vices or changed conditions, includ­ ing heavy costs of such items as fam­ ily allowances. CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES A more important event in the his­ tory of the Canadian people than it is realized by the man-in-the street is the passage of the Canadian Citi­ zenship Act, according to veteran observers in Ottawa, so that the ser­ ies of provincial and civic citizenship ceremonies to be held during Can­ adian Citizenship Week from Janu­ ary 5th to 11th in every provincial capital across this country as well as in a number of other cities are evalu­ ated highly here in Ottawa. However, the main feature will be the great national ceremony to be held in this capital where preparations have been made to write a memorable page iq the story of Canada’s growth as a nation and strenuous efforts have been put forth for marking this his­ toric event as a lasting symbol of national unity and understanding be­ tween the various racial groups which make up this nation at the present time. The impressive event in Ottawa will be presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Can­ ada, Hon. Thibaudeau Rinfret and it will take place in the Supreme Court Chamber which is located almost near Parliament Hill itself. Represen­ tative Canadians from each of the nine provinces which comprise this nation will be in that Chamber to re­ ceive their Canadian Citizenship Certificates and it is likely to be a milestone to be remembered for all- time in the story of this nation. At least, it is evident in Ottawa that it is looked upon with great, unusually great,’ interest and the highest de­ gree of importance seems to be attached to its significance. RUMOUR AND FAC.TS A rumour has been circulating lately that the Canadian dollar might be revalqated from its present value of parity with the United States dol- lar, though there has been no official information to back1 up any such event or happening. In fact, them have been hints that no such action is contemplated now. However,/it must be pointed out, that,.though Canada is a member of the Interna­ tional Monetary Fund which will operate starting March 31, 1947, and Canada’s dollar was entered at its present rate, yet any member of the IMF has a right to bring about a change in its rate up to a certain limitation and even beyond that lim­ itation after consultation with the IMF, going her own way on cur- TRANSFERABLE VOTINGThe policy committee of the On­tario Libera! Association has re­ceived a demand a examine the whole matter of the use of the transferable vote and a report may be forthcom­ ing from the committee to the party convention, with a copy of the resolu­ tion having been given to Prime Minister King. RA1L EXPRESS The Board of Transport Commis­ sioners and > the Wartime Prices and Trade.Board in Ottawa have received an application from the Railway Association of Canada for increased rates in certain categories of rail­ way express, with the proposed in­ creases covering only those rates which have been lowered to meet motor truck competition and without asking for any rise above present standard express tariffs. The in­ creases sought are to the same ex­ tent as the Boards may decide in the pending case of the Association’s ap­ plication for general 30% boosts in freight rates. SAID IN THE CAPITAL “I don’t think there’s any occupa­ tion in the country that cails for such great and varied skills as that of the farmer." said Milk Commissioner Dalton Wells in the Ottawa hearing of th Royal Commission . ? . “We’re getting ready to ’invade’ Germany, not to kill, but to preach the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ” ... de­ clared Dr. Torry >M. Johnson, Presi­ dent, Youth for Christ International, at a meeting in this nation’s capi­ tal .. . “I must admit that I do not feel sorry for them,” remarked Maj­ or Marina Howson of the Canadian Red Cross upon her return to Ottawa from overseas where she had Ger­ mans under her command and indica­ ted that they are “servile” now, hav­ ing lost their arrogance . . . ‘In view of the serious fires in hotels in Canada and the United States, hotel corridors should be regularly patroL led at night,” suggested in Ottawa Aiderman L.

A girl Ithought was my friend/*“Maybe that- girl is a betterfriend than you think.”“Maybe I don’t agree withher.”"Maybe you will.” Jimmy laughed. “Maybe. May­be. Maybe you both would shutup I” Sally caught Dronda’* winkbefore the star turned back tothe dashing Jimmy. According to the schedule,Dronda had to land at the Mu­nicipal Airport at six-thirty. Thatgave her forty minutes to get tothe city, a half-hour for a quickbite, and another half-hour toprepare for the show. Mike, as efficient as ever, brought theplane in to a landing with tenminutes to spare. The starsmiled at one and. all as BillBurke herded her and Jimmy into the limousind, and Helenshook her head as the car wentzooming away. "Nice gal, don’t you think?""I’ve been wondering," Sallysaid slowly. "A few minutes ago stand why you waste your timeon him.”"I might say that I don’t mderstand why, feeling the v/9U_do, you waste yoygeven thfliJ-ina about hfariF“I fell for Tan't thata laugh? I.wflBhad always prided myself on myfegood sense,fell for him like a ton of bricks.”"Yet he played fair with you.The instant be realized what was-happening. . ."It had already happened,Mike.""I’d like to marry you. Sally.”He was expecting a flaminganswer, but surprisingly, none came. She just shook her headrather sadly. “Poor Mike. Youdeserved to meet someone really nice.” 'Encouraged, he took her hand,handling it as gently as one might a precious jewel.Mike continued to hang on toSally’s hand. Hard."Sally,” he said quietly, “youare what I’ve always wanted." She 'couldn’t understand."Mike, you mean that despitemy temper,, despite the way I’ve acted, you really want to "Sally, how nice of you tocornel" beamed Catherine Win­gate, advancing to the door.“How nice of you to say I’mnice," shot back Sally suavely.“I was under the impression thatyou didn’t like the Allistons." “Then what I said at the teashop that afternoon was wast­ed?” Catherine looked regretfuL“I really meant it, too. I dislike people who take advantage ofother people, and you’ve not tak­en advantage of Philip, now haveyou?” “I never made a play forhim.” "I know.” Catherine deliberat­ed. "I suppose you are hereabout your mother?” “Naturally.” "Your mother was wrong, Sal­ly. You know that. Her ap­ proach has always been wrong.” r "She is still my mother.” ■ "Grandfather Jethrup is going la remain in the house. Philipand I-—” She broke off as theman in question came amblingin. The serene expression onhis face disappeared the instanthe saw Sally. She laughed:■ “Philip Jethrup, don’t you darelook at me that way I We were reared together, remember?” "Sally, I. . . .” “I know, Philip. But honest­ ly, did I ever make a play for you?” He caught the implication al­most at once, and back came theserene expression. Catherine put her arm - through his and laughed. "Grandfather Jethrup is usedto your mother, Sally. Doesn’tthat answer your question?” "Maybe I ought to kiss thebride.” Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

She did not know how Bill Burke had managed to do it, but ffcere they all were—Helen andBally and Mike. She turned to Jimmy and tookhis arm with something akin todelightL “Excited, chum?” ' “Ready to burst out intosong,” he admitted. “Golly, Ihave to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming.”Sally laughed as she passedthem en route to her station. “What an original remark, Mr.Kennedy.”"Stewardesses," he said frig­idly, "should keep their remarksto themselves.”Remarked Helen sweetly: “Someone’s riding to an awfulfaU.”“Do you have to talk likethat?” demanded Dronda witha.superstitious shiver, "Do youwant to jinx us?” “And what are you doinghere, anyway?" queried Jimmy.“Getting a transfer?”“Could be. Won’t you miss me, ducky wucky?”"You are talking to my fu­ ture husband,” Dronda Mooreinformed her icily. “Kindly keepthe pet names to yourself.”“Come, come, ladies," inter­ vened Mr. Burke. "Is thisthe way to behave?"“Does The Romantic Blitz­ krieg know how to behave?"Helen clapped her bands. “Howwonderful!" "I like the clouds,” murmuredDronda.

Helen’s lips tightened. “Well, I’m not,”“Are we talking about thesame thing, I wonder?" "I don’t know. Just for thefun of it, how much do you loveJimmy?”“Here we go againl” whoopedHelen. The stewardess laughed as she got to her feet. "No, darling,here we don’t go again. That is,not into our tiresome discussion. Care to go for a walk, Mike?” "You bet!” "Still carrying the torch,Mike?'.’ r marry me?” ,“I do.”“Mike White, you’re a fool.”She got up and strode towardthe exit. She heard his foot­steps Lound on the walk behindher and she quickened her pace,but to no avail. His hand came out and caught her arm. Hisvoice, when he spoke, trembled."Not a fool, Sally. It isn’tfoolish to love.” "You get hurt when you love, Mike.” "Wonderfully hurt, then.” J "Mike, L . . "Sally I” He strained her to him, andoblivious of their surroundings,brought his lips down to hers,gently at first, then savagely as her resistance broke, as herarms crept slowly, almost reluc­tantly, around his neck. Mike kissing her like this? Mike,who didn’t know the first thingabout love I Mike who. . . . "I beg your pardon, folks,”murmured a grinning police­man.Sally stiffened, and tore herlips away. Her face was scarletand there was a strange light inher deep purple eyes. The po­liceman looked at her sympa­ thetically. “Yes, miss, I know. I’m a spoil-sport. But duty is duty andI’m a slave to duty.”"Officer," she said coldly,"this man has been annoyingme. You hear? He’s been an­noying me." The officer twirled his club ashe looked at Mike, then back toher. “Sure, miss," he said, "and how you love to be annoyedl” "Yet you tried to talk somesense into Jimmy. Helen told me about it. You’re a fool,Mike." "Jimmy is my friend. Icouldn't let him throw his lifeaway without making an effortto help him. Isn’t that whatfriends are for?”"Jimmy is no one's friend.Didn't that ever odbur to you? We used' to call him a wolf asa joke, but he really ’is a wolf,a lone wolf. Lone wolves are dangerous, Mike. They use anymethod to attain their ends.”"Sally, don’t say such things. You’re angry with Jimmy, andperhaps I don’t blame you,but. . . .’’ They had come to a little parkjiow, and since there was plenty ~o! time left, Sally selected abench under the towering treenear the entrance. It was too early in the evening for the parkto have attracted many persons,but here and-there, perhaps anindication of what was to come,young couples could be seen sit­ting very close, girls' heads onboys’ shoulders, and the still evening air filled with soft mur-murings. She felt a little thrillrun through her, a thrill of de­ light, a thrill of anger. Shejerked her head back with a lit­tle becoming snort. "Oh, all right. I’m angry withJimmy. But I’m not being un­fair to him when I say he is noone's friend. You saw bow he treated Helen, you know how hetreated me. And it’* been likethat from one end of the coun­ try to th* other.
