"But there can be no relaxa- tion, , . . You can release more ships by growing still more food in this country and so hasten the day of victory." Echoing the Prime Minister's call" for greater production, "Mr, R.

O'D. in Toronto Saturd:y Night Delves into English History Some little time ago a bookseller fn" the Charing Cross road, where nearly all the old books In' the world seem to turn up sooner or later, unearthed an ancient volume on the Kings of Britain "from the _year of grace 1660". It began with Brutus of Troy--or "Brut," as the old chroniclers call him--and end- ed up with Charles IL. Which seoms a considerable amount of history to crowd between the covers of "ope volume, But it is not as history or as lit erature that this particular book has any value. Almost its sole In: terest lies in the name of its auth- or--S8ir Winston Churchill, Kt. a Devon man, born in 1620, who held various small government posi tions, was an M.P, and became a Fellow of the Royal Society. And the most interesting thing about the good Sir Winston was that he bad three sons, of whom one be- camo an Admiral of the Blue, an: other a lieutenant general, and the third, John, Duke of Marl: borough, : : " 80 we come in a direct line to --our own Winston, wv Land of Plenty There's one man in London who does not quarrel 'with food cards - and rationing, His name is Fred: erick Langley.

Ellen's family resents Mark's care of the child by himself and hiring Lucy Tredway as a tutor, Elise has her eye on both Mark and the trust fund left Valerie and never misses a chance to knock Lucy. Shirley, however, thinks Mark has done just right. A birthday party is planned + for Velerie, and while it is going on, Elise bursts in on Mark and Lucy. * . CHAPTER 21 "Oh, said Elise} She felt as she did the day she went to meet Mark. She was saying all the wrong things, and she couldn't seem to stop. It was beginning to dawn on hier that it would have been better not to come tonight. She steadily kept Lucy ont of the conversation but she had never been so_shatter- ingly conscious of another woman before, ' "Shall 1 ring for coffee snd a Hgliéur for you?" asked Mark. | "No, darling," said Elise, She had come straight to them from a dull dinner at her mother's. But looking at her as she gazed pathetically into Mark's face, Lucy conld have sworn she hadn't eaten for at least a week, and was re- fusing, to spare even the servants unnecessary trouble. She had never, she thought, met anyone who managed to convey so much by what she didn't say. Alice and another maid came in and carried the table away, And presently there was a sudden rush of feet and laughter in the big hall and the party burst in, headed by Valerie. : "Darling," 'cried Valerie, "may we dance now? Or must we wajt a while? What shall we do?" "Of course yon shall dance," Lucy Janghed. "Whenever you're ready." "She straightened a flower on Valerle's shoulder, and looked at Elise, who raged at the maternal quality of the small scene. She could hardly bear the implication of the confidence 'and affection be- tween 'the two, Neither did she miss the sudden'droop of Valerie's young mouth as she followed the pressure of Lucy's hand and saw Elise, whom she had overlooked in her first rush with the others into the room. The Dance "How do you do?" she said, try- Ing to sound as cordial as she could. tering group around Mark. "I think you know everybody--" "I dare say long hefore you did, darling" Elise allowed herself to say. "Their mothers and fathers were my friends before you were born," "How nice," said Valerie pol ftely. She felt vaguely apologetic; but as she couldn't imagine what she had said she decided to wait and ask Lucy in the morning, if sho didn't forget it in all the ex- citement. oo rT "Come on," she called to the others, "Of. course you're coming, father and Lucy? Oh--and Walerford--Father, will you prom- ise to dance with me at least once? It won't be a party unless you do. Rex, maybe Lucy will dafice with you, if you solemnly promise not to walk all over her feet. He's ter- - rible," she told Lucy. Rex Davies grinned down from "ISSUE 4541 0 LJ + TERETE She waved a hand toward the chat-- Mrs, - LJ] his sixteen years. He was already ./crazy about Valerie,ana didn't care _ what she said to him, He tucked Lucy's hand into" his arm with cafion, . "Shall we get the elevator? Or don't you mind walking? And may I have the first dance?' he asked in a breath. "The very fjrst," ' Lucy gathered a handful of peach 'velvet, and took to her heels. She arrived only slightly behind him at the door of the small ballroom. The orchestra wag playing, and vcouples slipped out on the shining surface of the floor, Mark coming toward Valerie. . He; sald in the most grown-up © way," "Will you dance this?" And then they were merging with' the rest, and smiling at Lucy, being taught a new step by Rex over in a corner, "Why, father," she said amazed- ly. : "Yes?" look into her shining eyes. "Why, you're a marvelous danc- er- I mean "you really ave." "Thanks," sald Mark, trying not to laugh, "I like to be taken down from the shelf and dusted off once in a while, "You're not bad your- sell." - "l do dance pretty well," she said seriously. "But then, you see, I love it. You can always do things well if you love 'em." "I see." The dance ended, was encored, and ended again, "I shall now turn you over to Rex. Maybe you'll dance with me again later," He patted her head, and went oft to find Elise. Hoe might as well get it over with as soon as he could. Dancing with her had never been a treat, at best, but he would go through with it, and then g and find Lucy. . After the Dance Elise, stayed until half past ele: ven. Mark danced with her only once. cach of the fluttering gay bits of femininity who were Valerie's friends; and he danced again with Valerie. --e . The rest of the time he spent with Lucy, whose steps seemed to melt into his with a peculiar magic. It was while the youngsters were sitting around a simple little sup- per that Elise made an excuse to go over and drop down beside Lucy. She smiled pleasantly, and made room for Elise besjde her on a small sofa. "DId you manage to get something to eat?" she asked, "Oh, yes," said Elise self-con- at Wide Acres,". There seemed nothing to say to this, so Lucy merely smiled, and went back to her ice, "You never knew Mark's beauti- ful wife, of course?" Elise asked presently, watching her. "No," said Lucy. Then, feeling that this was a trifle bad, she add. ed, "She must have been very love: ly. - A "Oh, my dear, she was more than lovely, She filled the house with her presence. But a man's wife Is the pivot around which a home revolves, don't you think?" "Naturally, said Lucy. She won- dered what was coming next. "You mustn't ever think we don't appreciate all your services here," cooed Elise, "All of us--I mean Mark's intimates--realize how har. you must have worked, And what it must have cost you." "Cost me?" asked Lucy. She felt they were getting nearer now to the main idea.

I was golng pretty fast at the top and bumped my head. My fingers also got pinched 'in the pulley block.

"During the last Great War cer: tain Allled countries imported Chinese labor, but is unlikely that this will prove a solution for Can- ada." ' . The number of wage-earners at work was estimated at more than 3,000,000 compared with 2,161,000 in March, 1939, when unemploy- ed wage earners were about 494, 000, The number at work had risen to 2,506,000 in September, 1939, and to 2,805,000 in -Septem- ber, 1940. Possible sources of labor supply to keep the war industry machine 'moving have been studied by Fed- eral officials, Apart from finding more actual workers it may be necessary. to make more intensive use of existing forces, including lengthening of hours. . _ The Bureau estimated that in- J dustry and the armed forces have expanded at the rate of 40,000 per- sons 'a month since the start ol the war. The "natural increase" through boys and girls leaving school and entering employment was placed at 10,000 a ménth, leav- ing 30,000 to be filled by unemploy- ed, persons who have never work- ed, housewives and others not us- ually counted as available for labor outside the home, At the rate of 30,000 a month, 750,000 of those available for labor duties have been recruited and the Bureau of Statistics said "it may be assumed this has included the majority of the unemployed, although it is a well-known fact © that plentiful jobs attract house- wives, 'own account' workers and others inte the labor market long before the last unemployment is mopped up," Forests Surveyed By Photography Time and Money Saved By Photographing Canada's For- . ests From the Alr Air photographs now play an important part in the adminis. tration and conservation of Can- ada's forest resources.

Making a forest survey or tak- iig an inventory if timber stands. on the ground is an arduous and expensive, undertaking, but by the utilization of "aircraft practically' every locality is made readily accesible for observation and photographing, and from air photographs good maps can be supplied in a small fraction of the' time and at much less than 'the cost of ground surveys. - Some idea- of the value of this new method can be gained by bearing in mind that an area of two or three hundred square miles, necessitating' a whole season's work by foresters in the field, can be surveyed by -the aerial camera in the course of a few hours. From air photographs it 'has been found possible to classify forest types, and, furthermore, methods of determining the heights of trees have been devel- oped by measuring their images or shadows in the photographs, which, with the density of the forest, provides the basis for sur- prisingly accurate estimates of the volume of standing timber. Information of a general nature for forest inventory purposes can be secured from air photographs without resorting to actual field work. Where more specific data are required supplementary mea- surements in the form of ground checks are necessary, but in no case does the amount of ground check approach the work involved in the old method of ground sur- © veys.
