BELFAST.--Hon, Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, launched the Northern Northern Ireland regional drive of the "Canada "Canada Calling" campaign which seeks to increase the exchange of goods between between the Dominion and the British Isles. Addressing a luncheon of the Chamber Chamber of Commerce, the high commissioner commissioner said he was gratified that trade between Ulster~auâ--Saïiada had been itmprovbig and mentioned Canada's increased imports of, linen goods, a gain shat had amounted to 20 per cent, of the 1932 total. He said he hoped the people of the United Kingdom would endeavour to visit Canada in numbers similar to those in which Canadians visit the United Kingdom, because knowledge of the country and its people would strengthen the commercial and political political bonds already developed. During the luncheon greetings were exchanged by telephone between Rt, Hon. J. M. Andrews, Minister of Labor for Northern Ireland, and Hon. Norman Norman Rogers, Minister of Labor for Canada. The transatlantic greeting and Mr. Massey's address were broadcast broadcast over the British Broadcasting Corporation's Northern Ireland facilities. facilities.

He thinks it clay in my swamp. Ho hinks it might be worth something;" "The clay, dearie ? Land sakes, if that swamp was ever worth three cents, Eben Bosdiclt would have found it out twenty years ago!" Bert edged over to the desk. Susatl pretended not to se.fi him. "Well," she said, "Mr. Hadley knows all about crockery and the clay it is made of, and lie says my swamp land may not be so worthless after all." Bert was listening hard. "Why, dearie, you don't mean it!" exclaimed Airs, Amec. Susan laughed. "Well, I'm not going going to spend my fortune until I get it!" Chet came in then and came up to the desk. Bert moved only a foot or so away, pretending to be absorbed in looking out at the street. "I was telling Mrs. Ames about that clay, Mr. Hadley," said Susan. Chet scowled.

"I said that there swamp you made old man Morrison swap--" "Shut up! I never made him do any thing. I swapped because he begged me to, as a favor!" Bert grinned. "Sure--I know.
