Paradoxically, no bauxite is mined In Trinidad. But because tidewater rivers are shallow in Surinam and British Guiana on" the neighboring South American mainland, two small bays on Trinidad'* coast serve as centers of bauxite storage and transfer. For many years, shallow-draft steamers have taken on bauxite for this United States aluminum industry at Moengo, 70 miles inland from the Surinam coast. Paranam, 25 miles up the Surinam river, is a newer mineside bauxite port 1 /'•v.:; FREUND'S DAIRY GRADE A MILK Homogenised milk, Coffee Cream, Whipping Cream, Buttermilk, Chocolate Milk, Butt£?, Eggs, .HAlf and HaU Cre^m, Cottage Cheese.

He stood outside for a moment, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Inside, his wife lay quietly, a gentle smile curving her lips as she held Eddie's promise to her heart. "Don't you worry your pretty little head about anything, Mary," he had told her, his eyes earnest and loving. "Everything's going to be all right. I've got thfe promise of a fine new job and we won't have to worry about bills or expenses or anything from now on." Eddie Richter, one-time money rider. Even yet. jockeys throughout the racing world ~~~~"""""""I talked of him with 3* Mhwrtt more than a little awe. He was a ricnvn sort of shining star toward which silk-clad figures, up for the first time in a classic of sleek horseflesh, groped for inspiration. For Eddie Richter had been an inspired rider. That is, until the day be was up on Galloping Wind, the great chestnut mare that bad startled the entire racing world witty ber amazing bursts of speed. On the day in question, he looked at the track nervously. It had drizzled all night and the course was a sea of mud. The horses were brought to the barrier, and Eddie leaned over Galloping Wind's neck and spoke to her reassuringly. She tossed her head and reared. The horses broke tagg^dly and Galloping Wind, on the outside, ran last. At the three-quarter post, Eddie leaned over and said coaxingly, "Come on, girl, now's the time. You can do it. Why, the rest of these bangtails can't touch you for speed. Come on, now^ let's show 'em." Galloping Wind lengthened her stride in response to the appeal in Eddie's voice. She moved up, making her bid. -And then, with victory within grasp, Galloping Wind stumbled and went down with Eddie under her. When they got h"ft1 but, the Doc shook his head as he went over Eddie's body with knowing fingers. "I don't know," he said doubtfully, "he's pretty much bunged up. We can tell more after we get him to the hospital and have X-rays taken." HE lay there four months, his broken body an intolerable agony. The pain wouldn't have been so bad, if he could have gotten the picture out of his mind of lying under Galloping Wind, the thunder of flying hoofs coming toward him. Something had gone out of' Eddie then and been replaced by fear. Wh{n he came out of the hospital, he and Marry faced the fact that their savings were gone. Things got steadily worse.

Finally, matters came t? a climax when Mary had to be rushed to hospital for an emergency operation. She came through all right, but behind the love in her eyes there was worry too. As he stood outside the door Eddie came to his decision. He left the hospital and turned toward the track and to George Graybar.
