If we but realize our gifts, the gift which God has given to us jn his son Jesus, the least we can give to him is our life dedicated to his service.

H. Nich- olson, in his annual 1954-55 report made public Thursday, said the volume of crime still remains high, but the declining percentage in- crease during the last five years "seems to indicate a levelling-off trend."

The demand keeps him in office at least until Tuesday, when the vote will be held, In the meantime, the premier will try to work out z iiiesaving manoeuvre such as spared his government last Sunday on the question of Morocco. A government call for a vote of sonfidence automatically shuts off debate for 24 hours, and the depu- ties decided to extend the 1 off period until Tuesday. If the government loses on a question of confidence it resigns. IN DIFFICULTIES Faure's seven-month-old goveran- ment has been in difficulties since the Moroccan debate.

The deputies never got around to voting on the substance of any of the resolutions during the all-night session.

IN DISPUTE About 100 items remaited in isgute prior to last-ditch nego- tiations which broke down after the upion refused a company offer worth an estimated 17.7 cents hourly, and no sure measurement of the distance still separating the parties has yet been obtained. It is almost certain that one of the chief bottlenecks in future ne- gotistions wil be the union's in- nce on a y company paid health plan, instead of the 50:50 program outlined in the rejected GM offer.
