THURSDAY, AUGUST 18th, 1981 ©." 70 PROVIDE WORK The civic authorities in many towns and _ sities are looking around for projects on . which they can set men to work as soon as the federal and provincial governments have decided what measure of assistance is to be given. If the governments are to provide money to municipalities, it might pert guidance of young men and women in the selecting of their life's work. This is a matter of great importance to the generation which is now growing up. Tremendous sums of money are spent in higher education, but little thought is given to aiding the boys and girls in selecting their vocations at an early enough stage in life. Mr. Farmer's' contention was that the proper time to start vocational guidance was the public school period, for the choice of a secondary school course often was the deciding factor in fixing the future vocation of the student, and this course was in too many cases chosen without regard to the .aptitude of the student for the vocation to which it would lead. This is a subject which is engaging the attention of educational authorities in this province. They are beginning to realize that to reduce the wastage in education it is necessary to direct boys and girls into the channels of life for which they are best suitéd, and that this cannot be done by any haphazard method, but must be made the subject of a definite study. A big problem is involved here, and it will not be solved in a hurry. But it is worth considering from the standpoint of its effect on the useful- ness of our future citizens, so that they may not become round pegs in square holes to the extent which prevails at present.

Dr. Carrick talks encouraging- ly, but says he will send & nurse to stay with the mysterious "Miss Parsons" that night.

Doc~ tos, nurses, consultations, sanator- lums--there was no end to the pos- sibilities Hamilton had set in mo- tion when he called in that psychiar- trist. Better be anywhere and free than in power of even the best-inten- tioned strangers. The night was a bad one. For hours she lay staring out into the blackness of the narrow court while panic enveloped her like an icy fog. It took all the courage she had, all the strength of her soul, to hold on to herself. At intervals she she swit- ched on the light and looked at her watch, Eons might have passed since she looked last, but they hadn't. Sometimes it was only an hour, or even half an hour... ...

Mar- cel admitted that he had not as yet found her name, but his mind whs busy on it. Nor could he remember the name of any of Mademoiselle's friends in Paris. But he was think- ing of these things constantly, and very soon.........In the meantime, if Mademoiselle so wished, he would write to Leon, who had been Mad- emoiselle's real waiter and who who was now working in a big hotel on the Rue de 1a Paix. He would beg Leon to tell him all he remembered about the young lady of four years ago...

Marcel was overwhelmed, forgotten that detail, "However, please do it" Eve sighed. "Though I hope to God I shan't need it when it comes!" Something about that exclamation made Marcel take a Jess cheery view of her situation as he left her, (To be continued tomorrow) Almost Lost With a sudden rush it occurred to Nan that a frisad in a distant city 'was soon to be married.

One is to provide funds by which: level railway crossings can be eliminated, and thus pro- vide for the safety of both pedestrians and motorists. It might be presumptuous to ~ suggest another level crossing elimination project for Oshawa, but there is a railway crossing on Simcoe Street at which fatal accidents have occurred, and which might be given consideration in creating projects for the purpose of providing work. The second ditection in which govern- mental assistance might be given to provide * work would be in removing all overhead wires from city streets and burying them "underground. Since these are maintained Oshawa's unemployed are showing good common sense dn having nothing to do with anyone who has Communist tendencies. Work on completing the subway has * again started. May it not be stopped until the whole project has been completed. The Flower Show of the Oshawa Horti- cultural Society was a great success, and should be an inspiration to the officers and directors to continue with their good work. The efficiency which has been attained by the Oshawa Sea Cadets should be very gratifying to the Kiwanis Club, which has sponsored this organization. Oshawa would welcome any extension of the harbor improvement program undertak- en by the government as an employment- When she reached the building! that was her objective she was not | at first favorably impressed by it.

There were only two vacant apart- | ments in the place, he assured the lady, while his eyes rested somewhat critically on the small satchel and drew a deep sigh, turned again, and hoped that the girl felt better, With the approach of dawn some of the blackness lifted" from her spirit She slept.

When Smith had reluctantly de- promised to send her news about her future whereabouts, Nan realized that that call had saved her a friend.

WORK WELL DONE : end-- %As . the 'date of the Ontario Provincial vention of the Canadian Legion draws closer, it becomes apparent that the event is to be one of great magnitude, one such as Oshawa has never before seen in its his- tory. This is not alone because of the gal- axy of distinguished citizens of Empire who . will be present, but rather because of the ~ great gathering of delegates who will be flocking into Oshawa from all parts of On- v "ario. For four days, before the end of this month, six hundred visitors will be in the city, taking part in the convention sessions and the events which have been arranged - fori their entertainment. And, from the Bhdpoint of provincial and national wel- , the business sessions will be fraught ith t importance. {It is a matter worthy of comment that : the rank and file of the Oshawa branch of the Legion have done splendid work in or- _ ganizing for the convention.

Other Editor's Comments WESTERN WHEAT SUBSIDY (Windsor Border Cities Star) The East should never object to anything in the nature of Federal assistance for the farmers of the West. The East, dominating Parliament because of its greater popualtion and consequently heavier vot- ing power, is able to impose and keep in effect tariff policies that, in themselves, place the West under a heavy handicap, in the purchase of machinery, motor cats and a thousand and one other things. If the East expects the West to support the high tariff policy which js considered so beneficial to this part of Canada, it must, of necessity, be expected to 80 some distance, at least, in helping the West at the same time. ONTARIO LAW ENFORCEMENT (R. H. L., In Chicago Tribune) Mark you, friends! The Ontario motor laws specifically state that any one: found driving a car .in that province while intoxicated goes to gaol for vat ledst seven days without the aption of a fine, And when a Canadian law says that a person driv- ing a car while intoxicated shall go to gaol for seven days without the option of a fine, # means that a person driving a car while intoxicated goes to gaol for seven days without the option of a fine, PUBLICITY NEEDED (Niagara Falls Review) _ The grape growers of Ontario, having lost the winery market this year, are reported to be prepar- ing to put on.a publicity campaign for the sale of grapes as fresh fruit.

"No wonder," returned Grey. that wealthy Mr, wrong medicine." i s looked at his friend in astonishment. "I'm attending Gotalot, and 1"ve sent him the blunder!" Grey wiped his furrowed brow. "It is, indeed," he explained, "The medicine I sent him will cure him in two days."

The young lady accompanied him up three flights of carpeted stairs and approved the apartment at the top. The price asked for the rooms was reasonable.

Still, Marcel had testified that the place respectable.

She was a blond girl, young and rather pretty, with very round china-blue eyes. She wore evening dress, far too elaborate tor her environment, but it was her polor and expression that caught and held Eve's attention. The color was a blue-white, and the look she sast at the two sfanding there was almost desperate--not at all the glance of a curious stranger, but the unconscious appeal of one who was ffering physical pain, She moved lowly, holding to the side rail as the descended the stairs, and res- sonded to the janitor's offhand freeting with an inarticulate mur- r, who is that?" Eve asked when the had disappeared, "Miss Ivy Davenport. She has that flat. She dances in a cabaret, but she's a nice girl, jest the same. She ain't well, though. She's been sick a lot lately, an' it looks to me like she's sick again to-night. Evid- ently the janitor liked Miss Daven- port, He was still looking after her with sympathetic eyes. 'But I reckon she's got to go an' dance jest the same," he added philosophically. "poor girl! How can she dance? The young person who had passed them was not Eve's sort, but she had s pang of fellow-feeling that sur- prised her, Here was another who was in trouble. * "Don't be scared if you hear her comin' home at four in the mornin', the janitor remembered to add. "She won't bother you none daytimes. She sleeps till five or six. G'night." Eve nodded and watched him with unhappy eyes as he drifted in Miss Davenvort's wake like a bit of gray fog. Looked at in retrospect the Garland seemed the vision of a wan- deret's home, and the memory of Hamilton's boyish sniile and depend- able face brought an almost intoler- able sense of nostalgia, But when she had turned back to her apari- ment and was moving about her bedroom, preparing for the night,-- the janitor thoughtfully turned on the electric lights in both room ,~--~she esminded herself that she was safer alone, tever the dangers of her 72 at course, she could not. would rot. hare among those to vor "ha owag val case", And there *'. who had once known 'a at any moment might "- v1 a shining face to tell ter Who she was, that his was a companionable soul-- | she prepared her breakfast and, to | her own great surprise, ate it.

She -owed him that | much. She had brought with her a | pencil and a few sheets of the hotel's { notepaper, from which she peins- takingly tere off the printed head- ings. Then she nenciled those lines: ' My dear Mr, Hamilton: Forgive me for seeming ungrate- ful; T am not that. But I must not be a burden to strangers, however kind and friendlv they are: and T know it is best for me to be alone. I have found a safo quiet, respect- able place, where I can wait... ? They say that those who recover from a lapse like mine do not re- member what haopened in the in- terval, So I shall write out the ac- count of our meeting and put it away with your card, And when I am myself again I will write you and tell you so, and try to thank you properly. In the meantime don't worry about me, And please don't try to find me. Most gratefully yours, EVE PERSONNE. She made a long journey uptown. She must mail that letter in a part of the city remote from where she lived, for of course Hamilton would regard the postmarks as clues. Af- ter that she took a long walk in Cen. tral Park and bought her necessary household supplies and a few mag- azines. shir After all this it was onlv eléven o'clock, and the long day stretched before her as an appalling® blank to be filled. However, there was Mar- cel's visit in the evening to look for ward to, and she killed the seeming ly endless interval by a visit to the public library, to write at a | there the account of her meetin with Hamilton. She wrote the bald facts from the time of the mem- orv lapse, putting down the episodes without comment, save in the matter of a Hamilton's kindness, Ou an impulse she included his Cnicago address. : The writing kept her ocAunled for more an hour, Then she read for two hours.
