L. Mackenzie King, who explained that "It is not contem- plated that the contribution which the "United States is thus making (through the construction of a number of projects, installations © ete. on Canadian soil) to the com- mon defence will give that coun- try any continuing rights in Can- ada after the conclusion of the war." Reciprocal Agreement Through a special agreement al ready made by thé two cou 'ries the great undertaking, the Alaska Highway, will after the war be- come part of the highway system of Canada. To remove all possbhile doubt about the other defense works, the Joint Defence Board recommended that a clear cut statement should be approved by both governments. The Prime Min- Ister further explained that "The torms. of the exchange of notes will make ft clear that should Canada undertake to contribute to the joint defense by constracting Installations or facilities in Alaska or elsewhere on United States territory, the sume principles would reciprocally apply."

The stillmounting toll was amassed primarily on the Russian Front, and the figure is equivalent to two-thirds of the present size of the country's army, It was said. Total Nazi casualties were put at 8,000,000 but this figure ineclud- ed many lightly wounded or tem- porarily ill who can be fitted for fighting again, iy Basing its figures on estimates until June 30, 1942, and then com- puting German losses at the same rate for the second hall of the year, the report suggested that the total breakdown to the first of this year included absolute losses of 3,755,000, comprising 1,750,000 fa- falities and. 2,005,000 incapacitated, or more than 4,000,000, when pris. - oners and missing are added; It the figures érr, the dispatch reported, it Is on the side-of-con-- + porvatisn. It was estimated that Germany - mow has under arms about 6,000, 000 in the Army alone, figured at about 300 divisions, and repre- senting almost 13 per cent of the country's population.

STORY: Wealthy Penny Kirk has returned from Paris to Kirktown 'to learn something about the great steel mills she owns and "the people who 'work in them. She gets a job as wait. ress, under the name of Penny Kellogg. A fight breaks out in the restaurant between a work- man and the Castros, a gang of gamblers who prey on the mill. workers. Later she meets Jim Vickers, "local newspaper editor, whom she had met in Paris but who doesn't recognize her. On a ride he tells her the story of his life. . . . TROUBLE'S BREWING CHAPTER V . Jini studied her upturned, eager face. "Are you very tired, Penny?' "Not 'a bit," said Penny, stretching the truth a little, "Why 7" "I'd like to show you some- thing." By now they were back in the centre of Kirktown, bumping along decrepit Central avenue. Jim steered into one of the side streets, shifted gears and climbed slowly up the hillside. "All this is terrible," said Jim, waving his hand in the direction of the tumbledown shacks. "No one should have to live like that. It's criminal to herd people inta. such unhealthy holes." At the top of the hill he stop. ped, inviting Penny to join him as he jumped out of the car. "This street"' he said, "is the only decent street in Kirktown, Is high enough so that the air is pure and fresh. In sungner, cool breezes make life pleacadt up here. "There's a plateau stretching back beyond the Kirk Memorial Building that's big enough to build at least 500 homes, enough to house everyone who lives in Kirktown now. There's a lot more room for expansion, too. 1 would tear down every onc of the shacks along the lower hill. Make all that land a beautiful park, with a boulevard winding down through mill." : - * * Jim studied Penyn's reaction. He was flushed with the excite- ment of his idea. --"A model town would pay for itself," he said. "1 know it sounds revolutionary. The and the mayor.and the few busi- nessmen with sense in this town think it's impossible. They laugh at me." "Wonderful!" enthused Penny. "Make Kirktown a model town? Why not?" __ "Some day, Penny, I'll show them. I have an idea." He paus- ed, searching for words, SURE!

"That's where John Kirk lived," she heard him say, "I have a hunch Penelope Kirk will come back there, eventually, Then I'll get my chance to tell her a few things, I'm going to tell her, Penny. Even if I have to go back to Europe and kidnap her." She started to say, "I'll help you, Jim." Then she clamped her hand over her mouth as if to hold the words in. He studied her, curiously. * * . . He was so full of his crusade for a better Kirktown that he didn't notice Penny's embarrass- ments "You're the first one who hasn't Jaughed at the idea," he said, "But it's just a dream that sounds good. What could you or I, or anyone else do to make it come true?" : h "You'd be surprised," Penny said, finding new courage. Jim Vickers, though he didn't know it, had won a powerful ally for - his reconstruction program, If Jim could have understood the determination in her chin, and the: ryesolution in her eyes, he might have wondered. just what .was running through Penny's mind... In the gathering darkness, he noticed only that she had a lovely profile, "Hop in," you home." - "Thanks," Penny said. "You've made my first day in Kirktown a real pleasure." "It's only the beginning," he told her. "I'm going to make it my business to see that every day - is pleasant." . » . The week that followed was an . illuminating, one for Penny. She was glad, now, that no publicity had attended her return from dis- tant shores. For a little while, at least, she preferred to remain unnoticed. : With increasing frequency, Penny observed, the men who came to Pietro's huddled together in serious conversation, She studied their set faces. "Midge," she asked one day, "is something wrong? Have you noticed the strained way the men "Tare acting?' --""Yes, Penny," was the quiet re- ply. "I've noticed a lot of things in the last few weeks. There's trouble brewing at the mill." "Trouble?" Penny asked, be- wilderedly. Before Penny could make fur- ther inquiries, Midge had lost in- terest in the conversation. Over Penny's shoulder she grinned the big smile she reserved only for Bud Walsh. "Bud," Midge called, "what brings you here so soon?' In her eagerness to reach him, she drop- ped her towel, and saved herself from tripping only by a miracle of acrobatic balancing. "Howdy, Midge. Hello, Penny," Bud answered, with a shy wave of his hand. He was tal}, husky, handsome. His hands were the tough hands of a steel man accus- tomed to hard work. He had the quiet power that characterized so . many of the workers Penny had met. . * oe . Penny waited until Midge was called away. Then she asked, nonchalantly, "What's new at the mill?" ' + "Nothing much," Bud asiwered, "It's always the same." "Have you been there long?" Penny asked. "Ever since I got through high . school," Bud answered. "Dad has been with the Kirk mills for 80. years." My brother works there, too." . le "Do you like working at the mills?" Penny questioned. "Do I! The Kirk mills are tops for my money," he said proudly. "Did you know that we made some of the steel for the Grand Coulee Dam? And some of Dad's steel was used in the Panama Canal." Bud hesitated a moment, debat- ing his next words, "Dad says things aren't the'same at the mills now, Not like they were when John Kj was running things, 01d Joh 8 a wonderful fellow, He knew every man by his first name, He often brought his din-* said Jim, "I'Nl take - Consider work of English girl repairing shoes. leather enough for patches. She has only ' ner pail along, and had lunch with the men. * - * "By today's standards," Bud re- flected, "John Kirk would be con- sidered a slave driver. He wasn't, though, He worked as hard as the rest of the men. him and. they respected him. And John Kirk always took care of his men, too. He had a reputation for paying better wages than any of the big mills, and for taking fellows that = an interest in the worked for him." "You certainly make the good old days sound swell," said Penny. "Old John Kirk doesn't seem so much like an ogre from your de- scription." "He was a great guy," said Bud: "Ask any of the old-timers, They'll tell you. The mills could use someone like John Kirk now. He understood men as well as steel. The gang that's there now understands steel only, Morale isn't the same. John Kirk knew how to get his men to work for him until they couldn't lift their hands. That was the secret of his success." E Midge was back now, glowingly "happy as she always was when Bud Walsh was near. "Break it up," she pleaded.' "Give me a "chance, Penny." But Penny wasn't listening to Midge. In her mind a bold plan was forming. , She would need help--Jim Vickers' ~help--to exe- cute it, Trouble at the Kirk mills meant trouble for Penny.

One November morning, a ship from Spain, long buffeted by westerly gales, reached Tayside, and half the male population of Dundee was goon at the ship's side for news and bargains, Cane sugar and bitter Seville oranges had. tempted James Keiller above all else. But why so much of both? had asked his wife, and he had explained that one could not buy goods at the quayside in the same way. as from a shop, adding, by way of excuse for his apparent lavishness, that both sugar and oranges would keep, But would they? Mrs, Keiller was not so sure. The. oranges were, many of them, bruised and certainly not likely to keep. Nor were they likely to be thrown away, now that Mrs, Keiller had taken charge of them. Her mind . was soon made up. She would peel them and boil them in sugar to make a preserve just as hor mother had shown her how to boil quince and sugar together, mak- ing a sweet jelly that she used to call marmelett. Young Mrs, Keiller was as good a cook as her mother had been before her, and when the orange pulp .that she boiled with sugar had had time to cool and set, it was much to James Keiller's liking and they both decided to call it orange marmalade. The first Dundee orange mar- malade was good, but there was 'too 'much of it for the young peole, so their neighbors were 'given some; they all loved it and they all begged Mrs, Keiller to make some more. And. so it came to pass that Mrs. Keiller made more marma- lade every year and James gave up his job and was fully occupied . selling his wife's marmalade far and wide for many leagues around Dundee. And when the children born to thém grew up, some were trained to make more marmalade, whilst others began to sell it in England anc overseas in the little white pots which are still being sold today in every part of the world. iin?
