This ay , . . well, no use hurrying home to be greeted by four bare walls. Of course, Helen would take the furniture. She had bought it by installments from her sal- ary. Jerry recalled how her grey gyes es lighted with pleasure when t "Modernistic Design," she had seen the suite. she had announced, identifying it. Jerry never had liked it. The subsequent polishings he adminis- tered to it on Saturday mornings while Helen marketed, had in- creased his distaste. Well, that furniture would not be there for him to polish in the future. A slammed door interrupted his reverie causing him to glance up. He recognized the elevator operator and realized the man was taking his last look around to ascertain if all the employees had vig Jerry hurriedly locked the slapped on his Yn and rode down. Omaide, he leaned against the wall and. fishing out his lighter, touched flame to a cigarette, He considered at all. A show? could not enjoy one, now. Bil. liards? That required concentra- tion, something which he did not have, at present. It was then he remembered Jack's poker session, pre-arrang- od for six o'clock. He shrugged. All week he had been groping for 4 suitable excuse to tell Helen, Now that none was required, he had no desire to sit in at the game. Well, no use mooning around down here. He walked away slowly with no destination in mind, his thoughts ng over one another, | from between slack lips. , after a ye was the . Helen Apes oe known that Grace meant nothing to him. Had he not done everything ex- t tell her blyntly that he was mn interested? But Helen thought otherwise and had started acting up to that Charlie with the patent. leather hair, Helen only meant to show Yerrv that she could be sought after, too. She brought Into ner conversation daily, whatever Charlie said and did. Jerry had become tired of he: about him so much. He had told Helen that if she admired Charlie that greatly, to go to him; that Jerry would not miss her long as Grace was available. A torrid argument had followed, resulting in Helen stormily declaring she would re- turn to her mother's house the following day, which was now, Friday. Jerry's thoughts were rudely jerked back to the present by the sound of screeching brakes and the vitrolic tirade of a driver. He was crossing a street with the red light against him. Grinning sheepishly he glanced at the street sign to determine his location, then started, sur- prised. He was only one block iy home. His subconscious mind had directed him to the route habitually followed when return- ing from work. That discovery aroused an in- tense desire to go home; instilled a wild hope that perhaps Helen had changed her about leav- ing, Anxiously he walked to- ward the corner. Helen had re- mained from work today to pack her Sesion, If she had left, by time the van should be loading the balance of that fur- niture for the second and last trip. Jerry turned the corner slowly. Suddenly his mouth felt dry. There was a sickening void where his stomach should have been. Weights seemed attached to his feet as he shambled on unwill- ingly, yet unable to stop. In front of the house was the fur- niture. No chance of his mistak- ing that "Modernistic Design." One of the draymen went in as Jerry came abreast the dwelling. The second one said: "Gotta match, pal?" "No. But will a lighter do?" "Okay. Thanks." He opto the instrument and began the somewhat difficult task of endeavoring to light his pipe wit a cigarette lighter, ats all," he grumbled be- ay puffs, "how much extra work people can cause. Take this customer, for instance. We get her stuff all packed, drives to her new place, and what happens? Says she's changed her mind and wants it hauled ba "What!" exclaimed Jerry. "Yeah," the mover continued, 'IT was 'surprised myself, But I think she's nuts. When we get back here she bursts out crying and runs up the steps like Hey, here's your--" The drayman removed his pipe He scratched the lobe of his ear with the stem and a puzzled frown wrinkled his face, He started to pick up a chair to carry in. Then he began to grin, Dropping the chair, he hoisted the love-seeat on his back, |. nel (Copyright), hig Soil Conservation Said Important World Problem Guelph, May 16 (CP).--Conserva- tion of soil and water resources is one of the most important problems before the world today, delegates to the provincial convention of the Agricultural Institute of Canada were told today in a talk prepared far delivery by R. H. Musser, re- glonal conservator for the United Btates soll conservation service at Milwaukee, Wis. "Not only our food and clothes but also the peace of the world and the welfare of nations depend en maintaining adequate productive soll," sald Mr. Musser. "This is the foundation upon which industry, business, agriculture and the stand- ard of living which we enjoy today are built." Must Laymen and scientists must recog- nize that loss of productive land anywhere on the face of the globe affects the people and nations of every' other part of the world. Every acre which goes out of pro- duction means that pressure is in- creased on the remaining good acres. Unless this understanding is reached and something done about it, people having insufficient pro- ductive land will be consigned to a future of poverty, hungér and the discord that invariably follows. Topsoil Emphasizing the fact that topsoil can be maintained only by a com- plete farm conservation plan pro- tecting and making the best use of each acre, he said: "No one prac- tice alone is enough. No incom- plete set of practices is enough. Only acre-by-acre treatment, plan- ned right out on the land by the operator and the farm planner, and then properly applied and main- tained, will provide for wise use and continued production of our crop, grazing and forest lands." Since soil conservation benefits everyone regardless of his occupa- tion, it is a matter of public con- cern, and he advocated there should be a well-organized, long-time land progsam in which all should have a part. May Change C.of E. Laws On Divorce London, May 16 (Reuters) --Cer- tain divorced persons in the country may soon be enabled to marry again with the official sanction of the Church of England, 'This reyision sia present Qipionical law--in which disciplane the Church of England has been em- bodied without change since 1603-- published today in "the Teport ¢ of 'the Church of Bangland commission. Canonical law at present prevents any divorced person from re- marrying in a church ceremony, whatever the grounds er circum- stances of the divorce. The proposed revision would allow remarriage from those whom the Bishop and his Chancellor ¢ er should have recelved a deere® of nullity in eivil court--that is, a pro- clamation not that the marriage was dissolved, but that it never took The revision was recommended by the commission with three dissen- tient votes, including that of the Archibishop of York, Dr. Cyril Garbett. The proposals will be presented to both houses of the coavocation of the province of Canterbury on May 20, and to the convocation of the province of York two days later. Then, if they are accepted and granted Royal assent, 134 new Canons will replace those of 1,603 as the law of the church. Liberal Policy (Continued from Page 3) ordinate all departments as they relate to young people and ad- minister the Ontario Athletic Commission, Prospector's fees would be lowered and the annual assess- ment work requirement would be lessened. Impractical regulations of the present securities act would be abolished and more facilities would be created to reach the northern portion of the province. Lands, Forests Concerning the Lands and For- ests Department, the policy com=- mittee suggests government-as- sisted planned development of agricultural lands contiguous to urban centres in northern and Northwestern Ontario, Building of tourist roads is advocated to open up hunting and fishing ar- eas and a more concentrated ef- fort to preserve wildlife through seasonal restrictions and higher bounties is suggested, Floor Wage ---- Provision of full employment at adequate wages would be a government responsibility with establishment of a floor wage for men and women. Two wek's va- cation with pay for all workers with one year's service is recom- mended and endorsation is give en to the principle of equal pay for equal work by women and equal opportunities. Profit Sharing The principle of industrial pro- fit-sharing by employees as a supplement to their earnings and pt labor-management committees is endorsed and reorganization is sought of the Labor Department. Expansion of highway policy of the former Liberal government is called for with a return of an adequate portion of the gasoline tax to urban, county and rural municipalities so that construc- tion, maintenance, snow removal and weed control can be carried out, Munidipalities Greater recognition 1s sought for the municipalities in the ad- ministration of Hydro and a more uniform rate for urban and rural muicipalities {is favored. Cheaper power would be given to Northern Ontario to develop na- tural resources, mines, farms, homes and industries. Fullest co-operation 'with the Dominion government is planned in regard to Dominion-Provincial relations, Justice Regarding the administration of justice, the proposed policy calls for reduction in costs to the litigant and reform of the courts, Abolition of the rule which prevents the subject freely suing the Crown is advocated as is repeal of the Privy Council Appeals Act. On the liquor question, the par- ty "stands for the full responsi- bility of the government . . . for the administration of the liquor law, for local option and strict enforcement of the law."

Earle was accused of fatally stabbing a white taxi driver on the , the night preceding the lynching. Seven cab drivers have put the finger on one of their own' num- ber as the shotgun executioner. They have identified him as Roose- velt Carlos Hurd, 45-year-old taxi dispatcher, Hurd acknowledges he partici- pated in the lynching but insists he did not shoot the negro.

The Forrester statement des- cribed the beating administered to the negro and added: "Then I saw Hurd alm a shotgun at the negro who by now was on the ground, and I saw him shoot. I heard two more shots, I did mot see who fired them, but I heard Hurd ask for more shells." ness and abuses where they ex- ist."

The cadets chosen for this splen- did trip will be the best cadet from the top 46 squadrons in Canada. It | is expected the top 18 squadrons in] Ontario will be cut down to the re- quired number of 16 within the next two or three days.

Similarily 46 Air Cadets from England will visit Canada, on a re- ciprocal basis and will be shown the Royal Canadian Air Force and Training Cadet establishments over here. Summer Camp Plans Another "operation," which has quickened the heart beat of the would-be airmen is a proposed two week camp at Trenton, the whole squadron participating. There, they will receive dual instruction in fly- ing and be given a chance to put into practice what they have been studying, theory of flight, aerodyn- amics, air navigation and many other subjects which are included in their curriculum, The inspection held yesterday, is one that will remain in the minds of the cadets for some time, for it was inspiring and full of encourage- ment. The friendly and sincere at- titude of the decorated officers from Central Air Command, Tren- ton, sowed the seeds for that all necessary, "Esprit De Corps", of which the Royal Canadian Air Force is justly proud and to which their victories over enemy territory can largely be laid.

DDT FIGHTS MALARIA Ceylon -- (CP) -- "For the first time in history of malaria control in this country we have found something the like of which was never available, particularly for the benefit of large rural populations," sald George E. De Silva, minister of health, discussing the conrol of malaria with DDT. Polish-Canadian Relations Said Concern Cause Sarnia, May 16--(CP) -- Many Canadians "are becoming concern- ed over the outcome of relations be- tween themselves and the Polish veteran who is brought to this country for agricultural employ- ment," said Charles McCausland, director of the National Employ-~ ment Offices at Sarnia, said here. "The major problem which has arisen from the standpoint of the farmer and the veteran has been their inability to converse, in a common language and efforts are being made to overcome this dif- ficulty will result in mutual under- standing and at the same time will assist in removing many of the minor troubles 'experienced in the past," Mr, McCausland added.
