city limits.I o many motorists, the observance of ordinary traffic and courtesy rules is almost unthinkable as a waste of valuable time.I his attitude on the part of a substantial portion of the driving public causes a bulk of the traffic death and njury toll.Therefore special interest is lent :o a test conducted recently in Colorado Springs.With the co-operation of the municipal police, a well-known racing car driver made two trips down a fifteen-block course in the heart of the city.The first time he carefully obeyed all the rules and completed the course in 0 minutes and 35.1 seconds.The second time he broke every law in the book.He drove at an illegal speed, cut corners, went through stop-lights, gave no signals, passed other cars on the wrong side and even drove through a safety zone.When his hair-raising trip was over, it was found that he had made the run in r) minutes and 31.2 seconds.He had saved exactly 3.9 seconds.SUCCESSFUL FARMING A SCIENCE To the average person, the successful farmer is essentially a healthy man and a hard worker.But this is not enough.He must be a man of foresight and a man of sound judgment.In the city it is possible to make-shift for a living, because the employer can do the thinking for his employee.However, in the rural districts this is different.Every landowner depends as much for his success upon his judgment and precision as he does upon manual labor.Farming has become more of a science than a trade, and a very extensive science at that.It is true that governments taking account of the situation have set up many agricultural schools and experimental establishments which can undertake research work that individuals would find impossible to undertake themselves.But it still remains true that the individual must have sufficient intelligence to understand ;he importance of these researches to follow them up and enough judgment to fit services :hus rendered to their own particular problems.for a result, farming operations properly sonducted demand a variety of qualities only met with in the choicest people.having pledged themselve* to lift the Berlin blockade over a month ago.Hopeful that Moscow might at last carry out one conciliatory move, the Allies held on as long as any outside possibility of an accord was visible on the horizon.Later information revealed, however, that this was a typical Russian double-cross and that orders had gone directly from the Kremlin to the Soviet commander in Berlin to do everything in his power to wreck the agreement through undue insistence upon detail.This was no over-zealous action of some minor official but rather was a clear-cut and premeditated policy prepared by the Russian high command.The Allied decision has created a critical situation, or at least has brought this situation into clear perspective.Having failed in its efforts to force the Allies out of Berlin by peaceful means, the Russians may seek to achieve their objective, by armed force, thus involving the world in a fresh blood-bath.However, the increased strength and the steadily expanding might of the British and United States forces in the European theatre may give Moscow cause to pause and think.A few months ago Russia might have been able to stage a surprise move with a degree of success, but its tactics during the intervening period have been such that the Western Powers have been reinforcing their land and air bases on the Continent and the concentration of planes for the Berlin airlift resembles those of the clays of the Second World War.A strong Allied force may have a deterring effect.SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1948.THAT'S WHY HE'S GOING TO BE HARD TO OUST STRINGENT LABOR LEGISLATION USELESS One of the best arguments against too detailed legislation on the part of governments, federal or provincial, on the question of abor-management relations is voiced by W.Clark in the Windsor Star.Mr.Clark de-rlares: 'Arguments are running across the country on Canada's labor legislation.Where there s a willingness by both sides to work together, egislation is not needed.And where either me, or both sides, are determined not to work ogether all the legislation in the world will rot bring harmony.One does not have to look a great dis-ance from Sherbrooke to find proof of the ruth of this argument.In most of the labor rouble of recent months, the action of one or ather parties to the disputes have been ruled \"illegal,\u201d and there has been much ado by government officials as to what should be done.But the fact remained, the strike or the lockout generally continued for days or weeks and was finally ended when the disputants became tired or exhausted.Government conciliators may prove of service in settling a percentage of the walkouts, but in the final analysis, much more can be accomplished by goodwill and mutual understanding.AN INEVITABLE MOVE The decision of the Western Powers to break off all negotiations with Moscow over the control of Berlin was almost inevitable as the result of the uncompromising Russian attitude on control of traffic leading in and DUt of the German capital.The privileges sought by the Soviets would have rendered :he position of Great Britain, F rance and the United States almost untenable, placing them jnder complete subservience to the wims of :he Russian authorities for the supply of even :he basic necessities of life.Had the Soviet terms been agreed upon, it would have been but a matter of days until the democracies found themselves forced completely out of Berlin and perhaps compelled to give up a substantial slice of the Germany they presently hold.For some time it has been apparent that the only real question was how long the alleged negotiations would continue as it has been obvious that there was no real hope for any agreement that would have given satisfaction to all parties.Perhaps the reason for delay is best explained by the American State Department declaration which pictures the Soviets as Washington Column By DOUGLAS LARSEN DEFAULTERS ON GI HOME LOANS FACE POSSIBLE PENSION LOSS Veterans\u2019 Administration has started lo hold up pension cheques to disabled veterans of World War II who have defaulted on home loan payments.This drastic penalty is part of a new policy now being formulated by VA for the future handling of foreclosures on GI homes.Of the millions of veterans who have bought homes under the GI Bill of Rights only only 2,500 of them so far have defaulted on payments to the extent that the government has been forced to pay the lender any part of the GI guarantee.VA is not expecting any great increase in foreclosures in the near future.But it wants to be prepared, If a business recession should come, foreclosures would skyrocket.It is feared by government officials that veterans are under the impression that the VA guarantee of part of their loan means that they can just wal kout of a house if they don\u2019t like it, or if they can't keep up payments.ONLY A FEW CASES SO FAR Only a few isolated cases have come up so far in which VA is holding up pensions to disabled vets who have had to give up their new home, leaving the government holding part of an unpaid mortgage.The Department of Justice is studying these eases and is trying to work out some other kind of an arrangement for the government to recover its money.But the VA has already gone ahead with the pension withholding.A VA spokesman says that this method for collecting a bad debt from a veteran is part of the U.S.financial code.He says that 'f VA didn\u2019t do it, the General Accounting Office would insist on it when the books came up for audit.It is known, however, that VA Administrator Carl Gray is planning to set up special clemency hoards to study each of these cases.It would have the authority to waive the debts of disabled vets under hardship situations.VA also has the authority to collect by deducting small amounts from earffi disability cheque instead of stopping the benefit entirely.When a veteran is forced to give up a house, there are several alternative actione for the VA.The house can be sold immediately at public auction.If the sale brings less than the unpaid mortgage, the government pays the lender the differ-\u2019ence.The lender can acquire title to the house.This is done by the VA setting a price on the house and agreeing ot pay the lender the difference between the apraisal price and the unpaid mortgage.The lender can do anything he wants with the house then.In each of those cases, however, the veteran oews a debt to the government for the amount of the money yirich has to be paid to the lender, The third method of handling a foreclosure will probably be the one most used, especially if there is a break in the housing market.The VA can set a price on the foreclosed house, pay the lender that price plus the difference between it and the unpaid mortgage, ami then take title to the house.Thsi has already been done on 324 houses, 139 of which have been resold.UNCLE SAM BECOMES LANDLORD The VA, however, can make a new deal with the veteran.It can take over the vet\u2019s mortgage and adjust the terms.A large-scale u,-e of this method will obviously put Uncle Sam in the real estate fcusinss.Th policy on this is now being worked out.It is expected that if a depression should come, considerable pressure would be put on the VA by the veterans\u2019 organization* to make this sort of a deal the general policy.Under this same authority the VA could rent the house back to the veteran who had failed to keep up payments.If this is done to any extent, the VA could become the greatest landlord in history.The thousands of veterans who have been stuck with shoddiiy-built homes complicate the picture.It means that as the houses become more ramshackled, more veterans will give up trying to make payments.When the VA then comes to reappraise the houses, their value will obviously have gone down far below the first sale price.This will stick the government for large payments to the lenders, even though it was the lenders\u2019 mistake in financing a bad house.Any way you look at it, VA is destined to get into the real estate business in a big way.This function could become almost as big a« the whole GI insurance program.\\ wouLDkibu i

original deed, such as putting a button upon my coat or cleansing my gardenw:.Ik of weeds, weigii very heavily upon my shoulders.\u201d These were the words used a hundred years ago by tne American philosopher, Henry James hr., in describing his mental state.And perhaps no better description could be found to describe the state of mind that seems to control the foreign policy of the Canadian Government.Announcements have been made by members of the cabinet, and by one in particular, of grand designs and alliances which Canada is contemplating to protect civilization from war.But when some original deed is called' for by circumstances, some small but immediately practical help, the descent fiom meditative generalities to practical particulars arouses distaste, and a score of reasons can be found to postpone action.There is a clear call by circumstances for some action on Canada\u2019s part in Berlin.The organization of the \u201cair-lift\u201d to Berlin has made a profound challenge to resolution and resourcefulness.Here is the practical matter, the immediate call for Canada to demonstrate the reality of its professions.But it requires an original deed.And the prospect of such a deed seems to weigh very heavily upon the Government\u2019s shoulders.Many reasons are being presented to justify this country\u2019s non-co-operation.It is being said, in the first place, that we have no \u201cstatus\u201d in Berlin.We are not one of the occupying powers.Wc have, in effect, no business there.If the Russains found us in the air-lift they might well ask us to explain our presence.And that would be hard to explain.The Canadian Government withdrew its occupation forces from Europe, and when the crisis arises (as it was bound to rise) wc say that we have no right to go back.Other reasons are offered.It is said that we would have to place our planes and pilots under the command of some other power, and this is a principle to which the Government is opposed.But two other dominions, Australia and South Africa, have both undertaken to send planes and pilots to Berlin and they do not consider that they have no status, nor that they have impaired their independence as dominions.When this point is pressed, it produces an other explanation.It is said that Canadians in the Berlin air-lift would especially attract trouble.For the Soviet Union had a particular grudge against Canada, presumably because Canada uncovered its spy activities.If .it were known that Canadian planes were flying to Berlin, they might be singled out to be shot at, and a most unfortunate situation would aiise.This type of thinking is remarkably similar to that of the appeasement days which led to the Second World War.No move must be made for fear that it might cause annoyance, and annoyance must be avoided at all costs.It is reminiscent of the cartoons in Punch, depicting the appeasement cabinet, with n painting on the wall over their heads of \u201cH.M.S.Unriskable.\u201d In any case, it is said that we have received no request to take pert in the air-lift.But Mr.Mackenzie King\u2019s explanation is interesting.He said that Mr.Kevin, in conversation with the Canadian High Commissioner to London, \u201ctouched upon the question of the adequacy of present air transport facilities for supplying the civilian i population of Berlin.\u201d But no i formal request had been received from the Government of the United Kingdom.Evidently a wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse.But if action is bitter, médita-! tion remains sweet.The Canadian people are being told that \u201cwe shall not evaue our international duties.\u201d Yet when it becomes a matter of sending so much as a single ' plane or a single pilot to give aid in the greatest test of moral and ; physical strength since 1945, it 'becomes another matter.It is like putting the button on the coat or cleansing the weed from the gaz-! den-walk.It is by no means as , satisfying as meditation.But they ! are

opinion of Representative John W.McCormack of Massachusetts.He already introduced a bill to provide for such a coin, and it will again come before Congress at its next session.The United States mint has experimented with odd coins before now.At various times such curiosities as 20-cent pieces, three and two-cent pieces, and even a half-cent piece (for church collection plates, no doubt) were in circulation.They are now sought by collectors only.A 12%\u2014cent coin was also considered, but never authorized.WHAT WILL THEY OFFER?Toronto Saturday Night At the end of this month the Progressive Conservative party will be working out a new platform.We shall be specially interested in seeing what they propose to do for the Maritime Provinces.Halifax is a very busy, active place in wartime, but it goes to sleep between wars.So do Saint John and many other Maritime towns.This Rip Van Winkle sort of life is not their choosing; it is not only bad for them, it is bad for the rest of us too.It would be better for us all if they led a more steady existence.Quite a lot of new firms are starting up there, and this is a welcome sign, but there are still a lot of sore spots.In the last of her series of articles.Miss Parsons suggests some ways of dealing with these: further equalization of freight rates, a shipbuilding program, maintenance of coal and steel production, steady year\u2014 round use of the harbors of Halifax and Saint John, and building the Canso causeway.These remedies are not new, but they need to he thought over again in the light of new, postwar (or should we say pre\u2014war?) conditions.The C.C.F.have not made much headway in the Maritimes, but with the development of industry there they are sure to make some gains.One of their talking points will, no doubt, he Saskatchewan where the C.C.F.government has gone in for a dozen expenm-ents in state enterprise for the deliberate purpose of building up and stabilizing the prosperity of the province.There is no indication that the Maritime Provinces are yet ready to embrace socialism.On the other hand they form a part of Canada that eleariy needs a good deal of state guidance and assistance.This is just the sort of thing that the Conservative* are.by tradition, fitted to offer.We «hall be watching to see whether they will in fact offer it.FAVORS THF RETENTION OF BRITISH CONTROL OVER I ERITREA The Editor.Sir:\u2014It should require no great; statesmanship to se tie the matter of the Italian Colonies insofar as Eritrea and Somaliland are con-( earned.Abyssinia or Ethiopia! dates back before the Christian eraj and itself embraced Christianity j in the 4th century.Italy as a kingdom dates back to 1870 and that same year set \u2018oot on Eritrea1 and after a prolonged struggle was worsted by the Abyssiniens but through seme cockeyed treaty with an equally cockeyed name was allowed to remain.By that same token England, France and Italy, became established in the Somali-1 lands.Italy, however, planned a war of revenge and in 1935-36 made short work of the conquest of the Abyssinians, and with great pom]) and jubilation made an Emperor of their King.Few people outside of Abyssinia knew what happened following the wounding of Marshal Grazaina by a bomb in Addis Ababa, February 17th, 1937.The throwing of the missile was an act of one individual and no proof could be obtained that it was the forerunner of a rebellion.Nevertheless 9,000 Abyssians were murdered in the Capital alone, and | surviving ruling families in the provinces were exterminated by execution.Throughout the Province of Gojjam churches were burned.' At the monasteries of Debra Li-banos and Mahbera Selassie, batches of monks were dragged out, shot, and their bodies thrown in a common grave.Every Abyssinian - who had received a foreign education was murdered or deported.This fearful massacre brought it; own retribution in the shape of smouldering rebellion which was never extinguished right up to Italian entry' into World War II.These are they which a lot of people in allied countries, Canaria included, would favor returning the colonies to Italy.The Patriots of Abyssinia were greatly disappointed that Italy kept .out of the war for eighteen months and following the fall of France were not too sure that it would be a good policy to foment a general insurrection.It was a master stroke of strategy that the Abyssian campaign was decided upon.Without it Montgomery\u2019s great trek to Tripoli would have been impossible.The earlier retreats from Bengazi were caused by withdrawing troops for the East African affair and the latter was slowed up by returning the troops for another rush to Bengazi and points beyond.The Italians w.ere defeated by the British in less time than they themselves conquered the ill-equipped and poorly led natives.With the fall of Massawa, President Roosevelt permitted American ships to use the Red Sea and Montgomery\u2019s supply troubles were considerably relieved.Montgomery\u2019s capture of Tripoli won the war.\u201cWhat?\u201d Sure, everything that happened afterwards was analogous to so much added capital to a going concern.Atherton Millar\u2019s History (save the name) of World War II devotes six lines to the Abyssinian Campaign.The Ministry of Information (England) published a 7 x 9, 150 page two column book on the subject, profusely illustrated and furnishing incidents as thrilling as any that occurred during the war.The Italians at the commencement were fifteen to one and never at anytime less than ten to one.As to Libya, it seems to be doing pretty well under its present British control, At the same time there seems to be nothing to prevent them holding a referendum as to what form of government they wish, i.e.: To go back to the Italian fold, govern themselves or remain under British control and Lmited Nations trusteeship.As to the British winning the war early in 1043 I came into conflict with one of my grandsons aged eight (an American by birth and THIRTY YEARS AGO With rain falling on sixteen of the first twenty-six days of the month, heavy damage is reported to the crops in this district.The corn crop suffered especially much.The following officers were named for the St.Pat s* Junior Hockey Slub: Brother Columbus, C.G.Steele, Bert Doherty, Dick Hawkins and Thomas Bonner.Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, is reported under \u2022 martial law as the government is seeking to break away from its alliance with Germany-.TWENTY YEARS AGO I hree more men have been arrested as members of a cattle rustling ring which has cost the farmers in the vicinity of Granby many thousand of dollars.Arrangements have been completed for the opening later this week of direct diplomatic relations between Canada and France, with Hon, Philippe Roy being first Ambassador.The large creamery and two adjoining dwelling houses were destroyed by an early morning fire at Brome.TEN YEARS AGO Declaring the annexation of the Sudetenland is to form the last German territorial demand, Chancellor Hitler declares Berlin cannot compromise on the issue.The British Parliament has been re-convened in view of the growing crisis.Among those taking part in a play at Foster were: M.D.Hastings, Miss Norma Martin, Mrs.E.White.Winfield Durrell, L.P.Durrell, Mrs.M.D.Hastings and Albert Chamberlain.Officers named for the Compton County Teachers\u2019 Association were: M.Roberts, L.Tomkins, A.Miller and Miss Crump.FIVE YEARS AGO The following executive was elected for the Sherbrooke Community Concerts Association: Mrs.F.H.Bradley, Paul E.Fortier, Miss Jeanne Perrault, Miss Kathleen Shea, Miss Charlotte Nadeau and Miss Marie-Reine Parent.British and American military authorities are reported cool towards the efforts of the Badoglio Government to press Italy forward as an ally of the western powers.The Germans are staging a withdrawal of all their troops in the Naples area.M c K E N N Y ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKwuiy, >,m«ric*\u2019» C-ard Aathorit- IIERE IS EXAMPLE OF GOOD DEFENSE A great player must have two qualifications.First, he must play-good bridge.And second, he mus i ¦be able to handle his partner well.One of the greatest players in the country today is George Rapee, of New York City.He never fails to compliment a partner on a good bid or play, and this pays big dividends.When he gave me today's hand, he said, \u201cThis is one of the greatest defensive plays I have ever seen.\u201d The defensive play was! made by Sidney Meyer, of Miami Beach, Fla.Rapee said that al-thoug-h Meyer has never played in tournaments, he has nevertheless picked up the knack of instantaneous, daring decision that marks a fins player.Rapee opened the nine of spades against the three no trump contract.Declarer played the ten from dummy, and the natural play for Meyer was to win the trick with the queen.However, he took a quick count.He knew that declarer had four club tricks.South had bid a diamond, and with the queen-ten in his own hand, Meyer felt sure that declarer had four diamond ! tricks.He probably held the ace of hearts, which made nine tricks.In rubber bridge it does not j make much difference whether or! not an extra trick is lost.The oh-: r &KJ10 5 V J 4 ?K65 .ü AQ109 Rupee\tN\tMeyer A 983\tLU $\tA A Q 7 V 9 8 7 6\ts\tV K Q 10 5 0 332 f> 5 2\tDealer\t0 Q 10 4 «?» 8 7 3 A 642\t\t ^ A32 av>.!-son Memorial Scholarship for Eieneli: \\\\ :uda Wilroi.; Cameron-has'Wright Memorial Ihi.v for House Science: Alice Roberts.Grade Eight MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE Previous Close Abitibi.Abitibi $1.50 Pfd.Bell Telephone .Brasilian .; Can.Cement .(Can.Steamships , | Can.Breweries , Can.Car \u201cA\u201d .|(\u2019an.Ind.Aleo.A Can.Locomotive iCoekshutt Plow ,.| Con.Smelters .Hist.Seagram .Dqm.Bridge .Dont.S.t C.\"R\u201d .Dom, Store* .Dorn.Tar .Uom.Textile ____ Emuous Players Gen.Steel Wares Imperial Oil 16% 1'9 % 172% 19% 12% 20 16 13% 23% 15 113 17% 28% go% 11% 16% 11 am.18 Vi 19% 172% 19% 20% 20 113% 16% 18 Imp.Liter.Inter.Into r.Howai Tobacco N ' Paper Pete .Smith In after tne wo seventh Lou Shapiro, men were away, came a nice, two-bagger on Wednesday to vote on three j Commissioners' Prize for High-mat teru of civic importance, which/'M Standing: Barbara Wright will involve loan ri!
