"They'll have to arrange their operation schedules to fit in with our plan," said Mr, Brandt. Toronto Hydro officials said me- thods of warning consumers of im. pending cut.offs were being studied to avoid a repition of this morn. ing's confusion. Overcast weather caused a heavier drain in power, if was explained. If the sun went be- hind a cloud, lights would be swit. ched on in certain areas necessita. ting new cuts. The emergency move caught thousands of Torontonians at lunch. Housewives resorted to grandmo- ther's Monday morning washing technique as electrically.powered washers hummed to a standstill. The sudden curtailment of power brought protests from hospital of. ficials, expecting to be included in the exemption list. "It must be a mighty urgent situation when the hydro will discontinue power to a medical building where hundreds of sick people are being treated," said' William Johnson, manager 'of the Medical Arts Building. Heat was removed from the building, eleva. tors stopped, electric drills and sur. gical instruments were affected. Arthur J. Swanson, superintenent of Toronto Western: Hospital, said the measure was a "very delicate matter which will have to be consid- eded very carefully before any thing is done. We have emergency light- ing in our operating rooms but what Is going to happen if we have an emergency case on an elevator and the power is cut off?" "Surely the hydro will make some special provision for us in our vul- nerable state," sald E. W. Leonard, Superintendent of Toronto East General Hopesital. "All we have is a battery unit supplying emergency lights in. operating rooms. But a shut-down would cut off all lights and our elevator service." St. Joseph's Hospital was re- cently equipped with emergency generators and lighting of operating rooms and corridors was uninterrup. ted as was the elevator service. To. ronto General Hospital had a 'di- rect current plant which switched on automatically when power was cut off.

Cardinal Pignatelll, who was a Prince of the Italian aristocracy as well as a Prince of the Church, expired at 10:13 am. (4:13 am. BST) in his simply.furnished apart. ment in the historic Vatican Church of Santa Martha. He had known five Popes in his long life and had been an intimate of the present Pontiff and his pre. decessor. He had been Dean of the College of Cardinals for nearly 18 years, Francesco Cardinal Marchetti. Selvaggiani, 76, Bishop of Frascati and Vicar.General of Rome, suc. ceeds Cardinal Pignatelli as Car. dinal Dean. Vatican authorities, however, sald there was some doubt as to whe. ther the state of his health would permit him to assume actively the duties of Dean of the College of Cardinals. He was reported suffer. ing an {illness affecting his legs. Cardinal Pignatelli, who would have ben 97 years old on April 10, was the last surviving Cardinal created by Pope Plus.¥ Born in Naples. in 1851, he had been a Cardinal nearly 37 years, and had been Dean of the College of Cardinals since 1930. Plaque Honors Early Premier Victoria.--(CP)--Amor de Cos- mos -- born William Alexander Smith -- British Columbia's sec- ond premier and founder of the Daily Colonist, has been honored by the unveiling of a plague in the legislative buildings here. The plaque recalls the pioneer's colorful career as founder of the newspaper in 1858, premier and dynamic politician, and reads in part: "A leader in the struggle for Confederation and responsible gov ernment, Premier of B.C. 1872-74. Bern in Windsor, N.S.,, Aug. 20, 1825. Died Victoria July 4, 1897."

He was a member of the legislature of the crown colony of Vancouver Island from 1863 to 1866.

Woman, 82 Gets $2 Million By Inheritance Victoria, - Feb. 16--(CP)--"The telegram did give us a flutter--but we were over it within a matter of minutes." That is the 'way 82- year.old Mrs, Arthur Lovekin of Victoria yesterday described her re- action to word received Saturday that she had inherited $2,000,000. The telegram announced she was to receive one-third of the $6,000,- 000 estate left by her brother, a textile magnate in the Eastern United States, "Dear me," she sald. "I don't know what I'll do with it. My hus. band (age 85) and I are comfort- able now. We don't worry about money," The bequest was contained in the will of Moses T. Stevens of North Andover and Boston, who died Feb. 4. Mr. and Mrs. Lovekin, who some years ago lived "averagely" in Hon- olulu, currently are patient-guests in the Mount St. Mary's Hospital ere. They have two children, Dr. Os- good 8. Lovekin of San Diego, Cal., and Mrs. Jerome 8. Donovan of Yorkton, Sask, Roy Claims '(Continued from Page 1) me to any great extent in the issue I am called upon to decide." Questioned on an uncomplimen- tary reference to County Judge D. B. Coleman in the letter, Roy said he had believed it to be true at the time bet he had "learned since" that Judge Coleman "was deceived" by Mowder's solicitor. The latter he claimed, had similar- ly "deceived" Supreme Court judges hearing various phases of the litigation which began nearly five years ago. Quoting a portion of the letter in which Roy had asked if "a high=- ly cultured man with the great | reputation I have received" would be likely to act in an improper manner before his help whom he "had ordered out of my house the week before," Mr. Rodger asked if Roy had, in fact, ordered his help out the week before. "Yes, the week before and the week before," was the reply. Roy added that his farm man- ager, Glen Flowers, was still at the farm on May 283, 1943, because he himself had been busy in Toronto until that time. He claimed that every time he went to the farm he had a quarrel with Flowers. Roy admitted that he had known Mrs. Mowder had gone to King City in the summer of 1943 to ask the Flowers ta.sign a statement to the effect that she had alwavs visited the Roy farm as their guest, He added that Mrs. Mowder had been "no guest of mine" the three week-ends in May and June of 1943 referred to in the case. "I was just a babe in the woods when I was served with that writ," Roy testified, when asked why he had not used the "plot" he now alleged, as defence in the aliena- tion of affections suit brought against him by Mowder in 1943. Mus. Roy gave evidence this morning stating that she has lived "very happily" with her husband for over 30 years. Regarding Mrs. Mowder's visit to their home in Toronto late in January, 1943, Mrs. Roy said she had come at Mowder's request. Mrs, Mowder, she said, had spent every night at their home during the two weeks' visit, Mrs. Roy said she was present at the farm in May, 1943, and Mrs. Flowers told her she had invited Mrs. Mowder there on that occa- sion because she felt sorry for her. The remaining defence witnesses were friends of the Roys, who had been present at the farm on occa- sions. { Mus. Ella Curry, of Toronto, tes- tified that she had accompanied her son when the latter drove Roy from Toronto to his Claremont farm late on the night of May 29, 1943, They had left Roy there, re- turning to Toronto themselves and had driven to the farm again the following day. Mrs. Mowder had been there and | Mrs. Flowers said she had invite her because she (Mrs. Mowder) "was having so much trouble with her husband." Called in reply shortly before the noon recess, Mowder declared that at no time had there been "any suggestion or thought in my mind" of a plot to blackmail Roy. Today's Short Story NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT By Max W. Alth R. CLEVINS, the lawyer, look- ed slowly from pretty Mrs: Kennin to her husband, and then back again. "Mr. Kennin," he said, "you may contest this divorce but I warn you that it will only cost you time and money. I have writ- ten a great number of briefs in my time and have fought a great many divorce cases. Let me tell you, I will have no difficulty in proving your flagrant contempt for the laws of decent human be- havior. I honestly advise you not to prev(®it your wife's effort to secure a divorce." Mr. Kennin glowcred but said nothing. Mr. Clevins turned back to Mrs. Kennin. "Our marriage has been a fall- ure," Mrs. Kennin said. "You poor Mrs. Kennin," he purred. "How you must have suffered in this unsuitable mar- riage! What mental cruelty you must have been subjected to!" "Our marriage has beer a fail- ure, Mr. Clevins," Mrs, Kennin said. "It has been for the past ten years, and it still is." "I am sure of that," the lawyer agreed. "We shall write it all down in our brief. You claim mental cruelty, Mrs. Xennin, as grounds for divorce?" "Yes," "Just how does your husband torment you mentally?" "In a great many ways, a great many ways," Mrs. Kennin re- plied. The lawyer glared at Mr. Kennin who still said nothing. "Will you be good enough to relate some .of these incidents?" the lawyer said, his pen poised to make the most of every come plaint. "They" were awful, awful," Mrs. Kennin said. Mr, Clevins saw that she would need prompting if he was to pree pare a case. "He shouts at you?" "Oh, no. Harry is a very quiet man. He never lifts his voice." simply "He drinks too much?" "Oh, no. My husband never touches a drop." The .awyer scratcied his chin with the end of his pen. "He has threatened your life? He has given you cause to fear?" "No, sir. He has always taken great care to see that nothing happened to me. He's the soul of caution." em "We shall find grounds, Mrs, Kennin, never fear. I have had tougher cases and have always managed to win one way or ane other. We can say his conduct has caused you embarrassment before your friends?" "No, Harry is very polite." "He stays away from home at night?" "Harry is home by seven every night." Mr. Kennin interrupted. "You may be a clever lawyer but I'll fight this divorce. I love my wife." ' "You're a brute," Mr. Cleving retorted. "You have brow-beaten your poor wife. You have sube jected her to mental torture." The lawyer turned back to Mrs, Kennin, determined not to lose a client. "We ¢an work from ane other angle," he suggested. "Hg is very close with his purse?" "Harry is the most generous of men. He earns a satisfactory income, and so far as I have been able to find, has never withheld .a cent of his pay." Mr. Clevins mused. "We shall have this divorce for you before you know it, Mrs. Kennin," he suddenly announced. Mrs. Kennin looked at the laws yer in surprise. As if she had never seen him before. Then she broke into tears and threw her arms around her husband's neck, "Make him stop saying those nasty things about you, dear," she said. "They are not true, You are good, and you are fine, and you don't shout at me at all, Take me home." Mr, Clevins said nothing. Sile ently, he watched the man put his arm around his wife and lead her outside. The door opened again. Mr, Kennin ' put his head inside and winked. Mr. Clevins winked back, and sat down, a broad smile on his honest face. IS smn (Copyright). "ims Coin Machine Industry Boom Now Predicted Chicago -- (AP) -- The presi. dent of the National Automatic Merchandising Association believes that in five years the coin machine industry will grow to $2,000,000 prcportions. With the aid of vending mach. ines, he said, employed women will be able to do their laundry during the lunch hour and house. wives to pick up emergency groc. erles without leaving their apart. ment buildings. Robert Z. Greene, New York, president of the Vending Mach. ine Asscciation, added these de- tails to his predictions: Daily sales of 10 cents a mach. ine for penny and service devices, $1 for candy, $2.50 for carbonated beverages, and $4 for cigarets, will account for a combined volume of $1,500,000,000. ; Additional sales from devices such as stamp vendors, coffee, milk, ice cream, sandwiches, insur. ance, and groceries "will bring the total sales from automatic mer. chandising to well over $2,000,000,- 000 before 1952." He foresaw automatic merchan. dising in the grocery field as ulti. -- of $100,000,000 through installation of machines in apartment build. ings. "Most of these sales," Greene said, "would be plus sales that otherwise would not be made. Now if a housewife finds herself out of beans or rice when preparing din, ner, she isn't apt to make a spec. ial trip to the grocery, but will de without it. "Most items sold through vendin= machines are impulse sales tha, otherwise would be lost forever," and the proper location of the machine can give that impulse a profitable outlet. Asserting that 60,000 persons would be directly employed in op. eration and service of the mach. ines, Greene said, "I have never heard of one single individual los. ing his job because he was re. placed by automatic merchandis« ing." He continued: r "Automatic merchandising will some day bring to retail distribu. tion the same advantages the machine age has brought to man. ufacturing and agriculture. Until self-service was introduced into fcod markets, comparatively little progress was made in cutting costs of retail distribution. "A sales clerk automatically be. comes a supervisor and can devote his time to demonstrative selling. This will enable the merchant te mately reaching an annual volume pay more for less work."
