THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1929 i "The GOLDEN GIRL INSTALMENT TWENTY-FIVE Jerry Corbett and Fred France are winging their way from 'Mineola Field, L.I, to Rio de Janeiro in their plane, the Golden Girl. There's a stowaway aboard. It's Solange Harper, whom every one knows as So-so. She has been taught flying by Jerry, whom she loves, and navigajion by Fred, whom she has consented to marry in an effort to have him give up the flight after learning he was suffering from a weak heart which may cause him to faint. Fred, believing he'll pe all right on the trip, refuses to forego his plans and makes Soso promise she won't tell Jerry ahout his condition. So-s0o appeals to Constance Terry, Jerry's fiancee, to tell the flier about" Fred, but she refuses. Too Late For an hour before the Golden Girl took flight Constance had been waiting for the tinkle of the tele- phone. She had found sleep im- possible after So-so's departure. While she believed sincerely that So-so was unduly alarmed, she could not help a growing feeling of uneasiness. She went to bed at midnight, but could not sleep. At 2 she got up, made herself some coffee and camped by the tele- phone. When Jerry called, she had the receiver off before the first ring of the bell had heen completed. "Yes. Jerry." - ; "Waiting for the old man, were you?" "Yes, indeed, most of the night. Have you been asleep?" "Turned in at 8 and slept like a baby until the alarm woke me a while back." "Feeling fit?" "Fit as a fiddle. Couldn't be bet- ter. We're about ready to start." "How's Fred?" "Top of the 'world. He's crazy as a kid to get started. Every- thing's jake so far as we can see. An hour from now we ought be a hun- dred miles or so south." "And you aren't worried a par- ticle?" "Not in the least. Neither is Fred. Don't worry, Connie, you'll get our call from time to time and I'll cable you from Rio about the day after tomorrow. This is good- by." ""Bood-by, Jerry--God bless you." "Thanks. Cherio, my dear." The receiver clicked in her ear Jerry was gone. For a moment, she stared at the telephone, hard- 1y believing that this was the last time she would hear his voice for days, the last time she would speak with him before he sailed into dan- gers and perils beyond her ken. By BARBARA WEBB So-so's panic came back to her vividly. Should she have warned Jerry, let him make the choice, rather than Fred who was blinded by loyalty, straining for the realiza- tion of life long dreams? Con- stance experienced a moment of real panic herself. In all her shel- tered, pampered life, she had never come face to face in this manner with stark reality before. The lives of two men, perhaps, hung on her word. With shaking hands, she called the operator and gave the number of the office of the flying field. Brrr, brrr, brr, prrr, the bell rang again and again in her ears and presently the indifferent voice of the operator said: "They do not an- swer." : "Make them answer," Constance cried. "Ring them louder. They must answer." "I will ring them again, madam," the cool voice of the operator re- plied. Constance waited frantically at the end of the dead telephone. She knew the chances of Jerry's hear- ing the phone were slight, that even if he heard it he probably would not answer, never dreaming that she was trying to call him back af- ter saying her farewells. Possessed now with the idea of reaching Jerry some way she caught up a fur coat and fung it on over her black ' pajamas, and slippers, jammed a hat over her hair and rushed from the house to the gar- age. Something might happen, they might have trouble taking off; delays were almost certain, she knew from the previous history of long flights. If only they were de- layed. If only she might get there in time. She backed her car out hastily, choosing the low sport car, built for speed, conscious of the cold night air on her bare ankles. She drove like a demon, through desert- ed streets, over the long Queens- boro bridge, out the long highway toward Mineola. The needle on the speedometer climbed steadily, fifty- five, sixty, sixty-five, sixty-eight, faster, faster, it quivered at geventy and held there trembling, while Constance, frozen to the wheel, watched the road unwind like a ribbon in the blaze of lights from the car, Just half an hour from the time of Jerry's call she tore into Mineola and raced toward the field. "Oh, don't let me be too late," she pray- ed. But the silent air field, the deserted landing area told their cwn mute story. She slid to a' stop, jumped from the car and ran to the hangar. Too late.' Too late. The hangar doors stood cpen. The Golden Girl was gone. Across the field one of the me- ~hanies still lingering there hailed lier lights, "Whadda you want?" he bellow- ed. "Where is the Golden Girl?" she shouted back, her voice echoing strangely in the cold frosty air, "Gone lady. A long time ago." He was nearer now and recognized her, "Why, it's Miss Terry! Jerry and Fred took off at 3 o'clock to the minute. They had some trouble getting up. Too heavy a load somewhere, . I suppose, and we thought for a minute they wouldn't get off. But Jerry made it, pointed her nose at the sky and drove straight into the wind. Last we saw they must have been heading southeast at a hundred miles an hour." Constance straightened herself. Perhaps she could warn them still by radio. She would consult So-so, tell her how sorry she was for her previous reception of So-so's anxie- ty, beg her to help her now, to stop the ship some way, any way at all. She thanked the mechanic and turned her car toward So-s0's cottage. The house was dark and Con- stance shivered while she stood on the porch ringing the hell and pounding on the door. After a long wait Chloe came into the living room and peered suspiciously through the window onto the porch. "Let me in, Chloe; it's Miss Constance. I want to see So-go, at once." Chloe unlocked the dor, "Land of heaven, Miss Constance, you give me a turn. Come in, honey, you must be frozen. Here, stand by the' radiator and warm your feet. Where's your stockings" "Never mind my stockings. Go call Miss Solange. I must see her at once." Thoroughly frightened Chloe lumbered off up the stairs, Con- stance trying to get warmth into Ler stiff fingers from the wavering Per trickling up through the rad- jator, heard her call, "Miss Con- stance, Miss Constance--Miss Sol- ange ain't here. She's clean gone " Constance stared stupidly at the stairway "What do you mean--7? Chloe appeared holding some- thing white in her hand, 'She's gone, Misg Constance, clean gone, her bed ain't hardly mussed--"" Relief shone for a moment in Constance's face, "She said some- thing about slipping down to the hangar to watch the Golden Gir! take off--what is that you have In your hand. Chloe?" "It's a letter. Miss Constance, and it's fer you." "Bring it here." Chloe stumbled down the stalr- case and handed the letter to Con- stance, who tore it open, read it rapidly, then with a low moan slid to her knees and buried her head against a chair (To be Continued.Tormorrow) HOW MAIL SERVICE (OST IS. DIVIDED Various Expenditures Make Up Canada's Total of Mil- lions of Dollars Ottawa, June, 10.--The cost of the Canadian postal service in its various branches is given by the Ottawa Journal in its special column "A Fact a Day About Canada" as follows: + To handle the millions upon millions of letters, post cards and parcels which are delivered to the people of Canada, at near and far points each year, cost the country in the fiscal year of 1928, the great sum of $32,379,195--in the gross that is, as the sale of postage stamps and other general revenue made the P.O. sei- vice almost self-sustaining. The net deficit on the year's operations was $1,850,040. There were two chief items of ex- pense. The first was salaries and wages of postmasters, clerks, postmen, drivers, ctc., and the second the cost of transportation, : Salaries and wages amounted to $10,510,597, while convéyance of the mails cost $14,601,163. In this item wns included the modest sum of 1$374,633 for the supply and repair of mail bags. The cost of conveyance of the mails was subdivided into rail cost, water cost, air cost, and cost by "ordinary land," which means delivery by stages and other vehicles, from the trains to rural post office and the rural mail service by which farmers have the mail delivered to their front gates. The greatest cost of conveyance was by railways, and "by ordinary land" as the P.O. Dept. designates it. The railways were paid $7,437,892, and the RB.F. route deliveries and other overland deliveries were paid $6,291,180. Mail carried by water cost $434,032, Mail carried by air (though only in the infancy of the service), cost $63,425. Other main items of expense which werit to make up the thirty-two mil- lions of total expenditure, include the cost of printing postage stamps, $277,044 ; purchase of rural mail boxes, $109,042; printing of various sorts, $348,576; and miscellaneous expend- itures of $326,746.

BOY BURGLAR MADE] WARD OF CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY Blind Pun'h Boad Oper stor Fined $25 and Costs For The Offence (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, June 11--Police court yesterday afternoon present- ed a rather busy appearance with three cases on' the dock all of which took considerable time. The first was that of the juv- enile who appeared before Magis- trate Floyd on Saturday, June 1, and had been remanded for fur- ther investigation. The boy again appeared before Magistrate Floyd on the charge of entering and stealing goods from the store of T. A. Dustan. The boy with a companion had entered the store of Mr, Dustan on the evening of May 26 and taken a number of flashlights, golf balls, knives and other minor articles. The boys confessed to their act and showed the police where they had hidden the stolen articles. Ward of Children's Aid Magistrate Floyd could not help but find the boy guilty of the of- fence charged. The boy has been charged with similar acts during the past three years and had ap- peared before his honour only a year ago. In sentencing the lad Magistrate Floyd took his promise that he would be good after this and committed him to the Child- ren"s Aid Society permanently, He will be submitted for examination to the Boys' Training School at Bowmanville and will be placed under supervision there if success- ful. "Otherwise the next best thing will be given him whatever that may be," said Magistrate Floyd in finishing his sentence. Dr. Daly, President of the Child- ren's Ald Society, said that the society will try their best to help the youth and will see that he gets along better in the future than in the past. The second case appearing be- fore Magistrate Floyd was that of H., Gregg, a blind man who runs a small store in the south ward and was charged with .unlawfully op- erating a punch board. He was found guilty of the offence charged and fined $25 and costs. The last case was an unusual one, that of a young man of 21, charged with attacking and beat- ing up an old man of 60. W. Williamson, 60, of Hampton was a peaceful farmer who was at pres- ent living on a small farm at Hampton. His neighbour Wilfred Smale it was alleged appeared un- friendly to him at times, and police stated that when Smale saw Williamson chasing his ducks off the former's property, he flew into a rage and attacked him, bruising his face badly and knocking out his teeth. At present Mr. Wil- liamson is in a very poor condition, confined to his bed. Smale appeared before Magis- trate Floyd on a charge of assault and doing bodily harm to W. Wil- liamson, As Williamson was un- able to be present the case was ad- journed until June 27 and Smale was let out on bail of $1,000. Toledo Newspaper Tells Facts About Canada ont, Ju Windsor, June 11.-- A Canadian essay contest in the To- ledo, Ohio, schools, sponsored by Edmond G. Odette, M.P., for East Essex, has gained such popularity in that city that one of the news- papers now is carrying a daily fea- ture entitled "Facts About Canada' "Canada" one of the Toledo pa- pers pointed out this week "is a nation of home-owners and in the farming districts, 78 percent of the people own their own homes." Other facts listed from day to day, deal with Canada's natural resources, its hydro power, its fishing and its industrial enter- prises. } The competition among the Ton- ledo school children was started last fall when Mr, Odette, address- ing the North Toledo improvement association, offered to pay the ex- penses of a trip to Ottawa for the author of the best essay on "Canada." The proposal made such a favor- able impression in Toledo' that the chamber of commerce there offered to do likewise for a second student. The object of*the essay contest and the trip, which will be made in June, is to promote a better un- derstanding between the people of the adjoining countries. , THIRD VICTIM Toronto, June 11.--Another vic- tim, the third in less than five weeks, was claimed by the narrow Lake Shore highway at Mimico yes- terday afternoon, when Cleo. Froats, 24, of Hespeler, Ont., was almost instantly killed. The motor- cycle he was driving through heavy traffic crashed head-on into a large motor truck. Froats was crushed in the twisted wreckage of his machine and died at 2.45 p.m., while -being rushed to St. Joseph's hospital. .

He had been arrested on Sunday night hy Constables Hall and Blackwell in a very intoxicated condition and was taken to the local lock-up where he spent the night. He was fined $30 and costs or thirty days. The accused chose the latter and as a result will spend the next thirty days in the county goal at Cobourg, INVITATION TO ATTEND STATE FAIR Essex Scottish Will Attend Syracuse State Fair in August Windsor, Ont., June 11.--Form- al acceptance of an invitation to the Essex Scottish regiment to at- tend the eighty-ninth annual New York State fair at Syracuse, Au- gust 26-27, has been forwarded by the commander, Lieut~Col, Alan 'Prince. Already the regiment is preparing for its drill exhibitions including the '"'trooping of the col- ors' and other ceremonials. Considerable importance is being attached to the trip by district mil- itary authorites. It is seldom that armed forces of Canada visit Uni- ted States and. as far as can he learned here, the Essex Scoitish will be the first complete unit to enter that country under arms in peace times. Detachments of regi- ments have crossed over and a company of the Essex Scottish vis- ited one of the world's fairs. The local regiment, incidentally, was reviewed in Detroit by the late Theodore Roosevelt when he was president of the republic. The unit is up to full strength and should make a good showing before the American people, Col- nel Prince believes. Formal permis- sion for the trip now is being sought from the Canadian and American war departments. Dif- ficulty in this connection not anticipated.

The recommenda- tion does not mean that the elect- ing body should be entitled to ap- point any other person than the one designated by the government through His Majesty," but merely claims that negative powers may be exercised for reasons to be giv- en in writing. The Crown may, if desired, over- ride the decision of the electing body by letters patent under the great seal,' the committee points out. It is claimed that the prime minister, before making any re- commendation to the King, should consult an advisory committee of at least * seven members of the church assembly to be chosen by him, including both the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and of York. The committee claims that free- dom to refuse to elect the King's appointee is.a matter of real 1mn- portance and the existing laws in this respect are an anachronism. The present safety of the system depends on the personal qualities of the prime minister, modified to an unknown extent by the personal qualities of the sovereign, the cum- mittee says. It points out the prime minister may not necessarily belong to the Church of Englana and may have no knowledge of or interest in the affairs of the church. The bishops' committee was ap- pointed in 1923, and includes the Archbishop of York and the Bish- ops of Chichester, Ely, Gloucester and Oxford, with the Bishop of Manchester as chairman. mica ------------ Youngstown, Ohio. -- An aero- plane crashed on top of an auto- mobile near here Sunday and ai- though there were four persons in the car, none was killed.
