-- mt ------------------------ EEE EE EE ELF Ee MES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1948 Today's Short Story 'WHEN THE BLIND SEE By Louis Arthur Cunningham 1 MUST go to him myself, Par- rish, I have so lookec forward to surprising him." Mrs. Gerald Ivering, home from six months in Europe, had reach- ed New York day earlier than she had cabled her husband. Her maid held the young wife by the ars: as they went up the steps. In the hall Kitty whispered, "Go up and unpack, Parrish. I can find my way very well , , , just as.if...> Parrish smiled fondly at her mistress . , . a face sweetly calm- | ' hor iris eyes . ed by years of darkness and | patient suffering. "Blindness made you no less lovely, madar.," said Parrish. "And you could see nothing finer | than yourself." : "Nonsense," returned Kitty Ivering. "I have the most won- derful husband in the world. He has been so good with my afflic- tion." Parrish watched her feeling the wall to her husband's study. Gerald Ivering moved hastily away from the woman who sat beside him. He put his finger to her lips, then touched his eyes to call to mind. that she who stood in the door could no. see them. The smile with which he greet- ed his wife was not the smile of a deceiver, and he kissed her passionately, wondering at the coldness of her lips. "Kitty! You wired you'd be on Wednesday's plane. And ther: was no one there to meet you." "I wanted to walk in on you like this when you were all alone and thinking of me," she cried. "It was ¢ lovely trip; but I am glad to be back. Somehow when I am near you 1 can... can see things. I do not seem so blind or else I do not mind it because I have your love. side me." The woman moved noiselessly and stood by the mantle, Kitty took the place she had left. Ger- ald, an uneasy frown on his fac?, sat beside her. "It is late," said the blind girl. "I knew I would find you alone. Have you been very lonesome for me, Gerald? "What did you do while I was away?' you," he said. » Her lips 'went to his. Come, sit be- | "Didn't you forget about me sometimes and «find in other wo- men's eyes an answer that mine could not give you?" she asked, tremulously. He answered her with a kiss and his fingers touched lightly | the almost transparent lids over . . sightless eyes still lustrous and speckled with gold. "I could fin¢ in no other the beauty that I find in you, Kit," he told her, "I love oly you," He looked across to the other woman, who stood scornful, "You never cared for anyone but me, Gerald, did you?" per- sisted Kitty. "There was no other woman?" "But there was, Kitty . .. a year before you came. I thought I loved her and she pretended to care for me. I was just a young lawyer then. I had nothing to offer and she married a wealthy man." "You ceased to love her then, of course. Did .you never see her again?" "Yes. I saw her . . . recently." "Tell me, What is she like? Is she prettier than I? , ,. fall, perhaps, with black hair and eyes and very red lips and a soulless face . . . a sort of woman whom it is death for a man to love?" The woman moved angrily. A different crimson frcsn thai which decked her cheeks flooaed her forehead. Gerald gazed in won- der. He smiled cynically, "She is all you describe. Even as you guess . . . for I know you never saw her . . . she is soulless. She was untrue to my love and she is now untrue to the man who calls her wife. She is a temptress . » » even to oné who is strong in an honest love. She came to me again and tried to win me back. But what she offers is dis- honorable. I told her to go. You were my protection. 1 never want to see her again." The woman . ced at him with | hatred. Then she picked up her wrap by the door and vanished. The girl's fingers caressed | r husband's face and her lips it tp, his. Suddenly she pointed to | his shoulder. "See, Gerald, there is a hair on your coat, Wait, I will get it." He stared in wonderment. "Black . . . and glossy," she : | murmured. "It is one cf hers... "It has not been easy without the woman who was with you when I came . .. the woman you spoke of. Thank Gou, I wa. patient to believe and listen to you, for I know you spoke the truth." His hands pressed down on her shoulders. He looked eagerly in her eyes. "Kit, Kit! What is this? Am I dreaming? You ... you can see!" "I went to a specialist in Vienna two month: ago and have some of my .ight back. That was why I came in surprise. And oh, I am glad that the first thing I say about you is the honesty of your love. I had been without the use of my eyes too long to trust the value of what they first showed me . . , that woman with her arm about your neck. I knew if I were blind I would be hap- pier, so I kept up the pretence and in blindness I ~aw what in light I might have missed."

Looking Ahead ka Ottawa Ottawa, Jan. 26--(CP)--A sub- stantial increase in the price the government pays them for their wheat may be announced for prair- fe farmers shortly after parliament resumes its sittings. Fisheries Minister MacKinnon, formerly Trade Minister, announced in the late fall that it was planned to increase the initial price paid for wheat, now at $1.35 a buhel. Since then. agricultural communi- ties have been a.buzz with specu- lation as to how much th elift will The amount of the increase, of course, remains a closce secret, but speculation in the capital is that it could range anywhere from 10 to 30 cents a bushel, with most obser- vers favoring a 20-cent figure. A 20-cent jump will boost the ini. tial price to $1.55 a bushel basis No. 1 Northern wheat sold at Fort Wil- liam. The best feature of the increase, however, is the fact that it is to be retroactive for the last three years and will apply to the crops of 1945, 1946 and 1947. This means, if the increase is 20 cents, that the prair- ie farmers will receive cheques this year made up on 20 cents retroac- tive wheat they sold in those three years. The increase does not go into ef- fect automatically the government announces it. The administration first must ask parliament to amend Canadian Wheat Board Act to give effect to the proposal, but it is a foregone conclusion that the en- abling bill will get speedy passage. Once the legislation is through the House, the Canadian Wheat Board will begin the paper work mailing out cheques some time dur- Ling the summer. Labor: Labor organizations are expected to register vigorous oppo- sition, before the Commons Indus- trial Relations Committee, to the form of the Labor Code legislation that will be introduced by the gov- ernment at the session opening. The Industrial Disputes Bill will be virtually the same as the one introduced last year and dropped before passage. ) Some of its features are opposed by Labor--including its "cooling- off" period before strikes can be called--and its provisions for certi- fidation of unions.

BLAKESLEE A fated Press Sci Editor New York, Jan. 26--(AP) -- A question whether evolution will give world dominance to some colored race to replace the Caucasians who may exterminate themselves is rais- ed by R. Ruggles Gates, emeritus Professor of Botany in the Univer- sity of London, in a new book, "Hu- man Ancestry." The volume is the first complete history of man's evolution, compris- ing all the discoveries made since Darwin set up the doctrine of evo- lution. ' The book offers evidence for a new idea about human origins. Man has been considered a single species, coming from one origin. Instead, Prof. Gates' evidence shows several different species of men from dif- ferent origins. Not true also, he says, on the face of the present records, is a wide- spread scientific dictum that differ. ent species can not, or do not, cross- breed. The human species once, he says, were as different as lions and tigers, or as gorillas and orang-outang. In evolution there may not be just one missing link, but many. He finds three main species of men originating from a half million to a million years ago. One is Sina- tnthropus, or Pekin man. From him the fossil bone records show came the Mongolians and the American Indians, both North and South Am. erican and possibly the Eskimos. Second, in Java, was Pithecan- thropus, from whom came the Aus- Many Missing Links Life Line traloid peoples. They developed In- to many races, including the present Australian bushmen. Third, in South Africa, was Afri. cnthropus. From this species came a bhig-brained race of men, that di- vided. One offshoot, appears to be the African Negro, due to adaptae- tion to tropical climate. Another possible descendant was Cro-Magnon man who originated in the Sahara when that desert was fertile and rich in animals. Cro-Magnon man migrated to Eu- rope and came into conflict with neanderthal man, and possibly wip- ed out that race after it had flour. ished for about 100,000 years. Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal men had brains as large as present humans. Prof. Gates says ancient man could make little use 'of his brain capacity due to the condi- tions under which he lived. "In madern man the brain has undergone some increase in struc- tural complexity and efficiency, but there is no reason to suppose that Homo has yet fully exploited the possibilities of his brain. "Whatever human progress can be claimed for the last 3,000 years has not been due to any improve- ment in intellect or even in moral qualities, but is simply the result of the accumulated knowledge and experience of mankind. "It remains to be seen whether the Caucasian race. will, by self- extermination, make way for the de- velopment of some colored race in the northern hemisphere, where the climatic conditions are most favor- able for the flowering of mankind." "Singing Stars" Have Successful Musical Careers By JACK McNEIL Canadian Press Staff Writer What happens to those talented young girls who win prizes on the popular Sunday afternoon radio program, 'Singing Stars of Tomor- row," when tomorrow really comes? Do they just slip back into name- less obscurity, or do they turn out to be singing stars after all? The program in its first four years brought to the CBC's Trans- Canada Network the voices of more than 175 girls, all under 26 years of e, They were the pick of hun- dreds auditioned from coast to coast by teams of experts which in- cluded such well-known musicians as Harry Adaskin and Rex Battle. The girls selected--many of them were already noted for concert or radio work--received an all-expen- ses-pald round trip to Toronto for their broadcast, and the three top singers of the season, picked by a nationwide panel of judges, won $1,000, $500 and $250 in scholarship rizes.

Past winners are not only stacking up as career musi- cians, but some of them are work- ing their way to stardom in highly competitive musical circles south of the border. Take Clare Gagnier, for instance, who won the first series in 1943-44. She has appeared as guest with symphony orchestras and on the Northern Electric radio hour, tour- ed Canada, made recordings, and now, at the age of 22, is studying in New York under contract to the Metropolitan Opera. Pierette Alarie, semi-finalist the same year, hasn't been collecting cobwebs either. This vivacious | coloratura soprano--who, like Clare, was born in Montreal--earns close to $500 a week, although she's only 24, It is already two years since she made her debut at the Met, singing the role of a page in Verdi's "The Masked Ball."

Chinese shrub Toronto.--(CP)--It seems there are two sides to this question of whether rodeos are cruel, discour- ge good horse breeding and leave crippled animals dotting the prair- ies. Here's the picture as presented by J. Charles Yule, manager of the Calgary Stampede, one of Canada's largest rodeo's. He gave this side of the story to- day while commenting on a state- ment by M. E. Taylor of Moose Jaw, Sask, at a recent Saskatchewan Hunter, Saddle and Light Horse Society meeting. Mr. Taylor advo- were cruel and had harmful effects on the horse breeding industry. In the first place, Mr. Yule says, bucking horses aren't mean. They can't be. Like race horses and show horses, they must enter box cars quietly. Midnight, one of the most famous bucking horses, started as a Buggy Horse for a school teacher. When she found he'd buck the stars out of the sky if a saddle were put on tim, she sold him to a rodeo. Students of the wjld west may be cated control of rodeos because they: Rodeo Broncs Not Mean Says Boss Of Stampede | surprised to hear that bucking hor. ses aren't even broncos.

The horses, like the cowboys whe ride them are for the most part ree cruited from farms. and ranches in the prairie provinces... The best buckers dre between seven and 13 years old. And the horses are well treated. For one thing, they are too valuable to treat otherwise. A good bucker is worth $500 to $700. Besides, the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has representatives sit. ting in on the rodeos. Although few animals are injured in the wildwest shows, injured ani. mals are painlessly destroyed. Mr. Yule, until last year a breed- er of pure-bred shorthorn cattle, is goin to Perth, Scotland, to judge catte at a show thee. As a final observation on rodeos and bucking hirses, he says: "You can't tell whether a horse will buck by looking at him. It's something in the horse's mind. A good bucking horse enjoys his work."

This Montreal- trained mezzo-soprano has since represented Canada at a Chamber Music Guild concert at Washington, sung in the 1946 Victory Festival under Sir Ernest MacMillan at Ot~. tawa and filled many concert and | radio engagements. The lyric soprano voice of 21- year-old Jose Forgues (why do these Montrealers keep copping the prizes anyway?) was judged the best in the series concluded last spring. Jose, who sings in French, English, Italian and German, now is with New York's City Centre Opera Company. "Singing Stars of Tomorrow," sponsored by York Knitting Mills Limited, has this year admitted men for the first time as contest- ants, and raised the prize money to $1,750, distributed in five scholar- ships.
