A dispatch from the central sector said: \u201cThe Italians made a final effort yesterday \u2014 a frantic, rearguard effort\u2014to halt the quick advance of the Greeks.They failed, however, in a way which was tragic for them.An attack by the Greeks at bayonet-point was followed by a second attack which overthrew everything.\u201d Greek troops also were reported battling fiercely for Argirocastro against desperate Italians whose retreat might be cut off by fall of the T+oIvt\u2019^ IncF \u201cimro ci rrrr\u2019 btlSC ID -, ghe said yeRterday.\u201cPHscil- of my Irisih ancestors.\u201d talk with Hull about the bta c - called encouragement to the lugo- (one ^ dGr three sisters) shone : Hr.sooke at what almost was a rc- partment\u2019s policy and its bearing'on siavs to resist Axis incursion lent any legislation that might come be-; ground for belief Russia may have fore the Foreign Relations Commit tipped Germany to leave Bulgaria tee.\t,\talone.Prior to the conference, George j Turkey and Russia have been declined to disclose his attitude to-'fnendly for years and if Russia had ward the pending proposal of Sena- ! tipped Germany it is almost certain tor William King (Democrat, Utah), that the Turkish Government would for repeal of restrictions which now | know about it and probable that the prevent Great Britain from obtain-, other independent Balkan countries ing credit here for war puchases.; would be led to feel encouraged, too.Possibility of action on King\u2019s res- Qn the other hand the reason for elution before convening of the new Bulgaria\u2019s breathing spell might lie Congress in January appear::! sien- jn an entirely different direction, der.Democratic Leader Alben Barkley said yesterday after a visit to the White House that the present Congress would not act on any measure to aid Britain financially.Meanwhile, objections were raised in both American and British quarters to suggestions that Britain\u2019s war financing problem be met by the sale or exchange of Caribbean possessions to the United States, The nlan, advanced unofficially both here and in London, was said to present difficulties on both sides and was unlikely to become a subject; of negotiation any time soon.The Marquess of Lothian, British in our pictures neglected.\u201d together.I He spoke at what felt union with his flying pals of the last i war, a dinner given under the aus-ipices of the Canadian Societies of !

Would Appreciate Receiving Letters or Small Gifts from Local Residents.To those Eastern Townships residents who may have a soft spot in their hearts for a lonely soldier on Active Service Overseas an appeal is made on behalf of James Gray.An American who came to this city to join the ranks of Canada\u2019s fighting forces, Gray describes himself as \u201cthe only soldier in the C.A.S.F.who isn\u2019t acquainted with anybody in Canada\u201d in a letter to the Editor of the Record.\u201cI\u2019ve been Overseas for more than three months,\u2019 he continues, \u201cand I\u2019m the only fellow in the outfit who hasn\u2019t received a letter or cigarettes from Canada.I'm beginning to feci like the forgotten person.\u201d Although here only three days while enlisting, this iad seems \u201cto think of Sherbrooke as my home town\u201d and therefore has written here to state his case.He assures the Editor that receipt of letters or small gifts such as are sent to his fellow soldiers would be deeply appreciated.\t.4 Here, then, is an opportunity for any organization or individuals realizing the position in which this lonely chap finds himself to make him feel that his services are appreciated by citizens of the country in whose cause he has enlisted.He gives his address as D-13664, 5/73 Field Battery, 5th Field Regiment, R.C.A., C.A.S.F., Base Post Office, Canada.An action instituted by Stanley Sharpe in his capacity as trustee in bankruptcy to the estate -of Forrest W.Lord against Emile Rioux, of this city, was dismissed with costs in a judgment handed down in the Superior Court today by Mr.Justice Duranleau, of Montreal.Sharpe claimed that Rioux had failed to live up to an agreement to purchase for the sum of $18,000 the Dufferin Avenue property belonging to the Lord Estate.Alleging that the defendant, in response to an advertisement, had offered $18,-000 for the buildings, land and greenhouse at 96 Dufferin Avenue, the plaintiff said that the offer was.accepted by the- inspectors of the bankrupt estate as the highest received.In March, 1939, Rioux was requested to have his notary prepare a deed of sale, the plaintiff declared, but after the usual delay, when no reply was received, Sharpe himself bad a deed drawn up and presented to the defendant, who refused to sign.Sharpe claimed that at the same time he had tendered all documents necessary to give Riuox full title to the property and had offered to make any correction or adjustment necessary to clarify ownership.Still refusing to accept the sale, Rioux made no other comment, other than to remark: \u201cI have nothing to say.\u201d Asking that the offer to sell be declared good and sufficient, Sharpe requested that since Rioux holds a mortgage on the property in question he be ordered to pay the Lord Estate the sum of $4,855.59 as the difference between the mortgage and the sale price.Contending in his plea that Sharpe had no legal right to act lor the Lord Estate in that he was never lawfully named trustee or invested with the authority to dispose of the Lord properties, and that the affairs of Lord never necessitated a state of bankruptcy, Rioux further claimed that the representations made by Sharpe in attempting to dispose of the property were false and had not given a true picture of conditions as they actually existed.Rioux contented particularly that the titles to the greenhouse adjoining the property are not clear in that one end is too close to the line of division between the property and that of Dr.J.P.C.Lemieux and that the plaintiff did not possess the rights of view in connection with the greenhouse.mM - * u J.W.Booth, Manager and Director of the Paton Manufacturing Company, who was the guest of honor today at a luncheon held by the

The two men had set out from I their homes in La Salle on a duck huting expedition in u small boat powered by an outbroad motor.High winds were lashing (lie river on which Fighting Island is located and the pair apparently encountered difficulties for upon the discovery of the bodies November 12 the clothes and rifles were found to he covered with mud.The strange aspect of the case, however, lies in the fact that although the men both knew the neighborhood well, the spot in which their frozen bodies was found was only a few yards from an open, heated shack on the island.At the time of discovery the boat was bound in a layer of thin ice.Lennox Brodeur was born in Lcn-r.oxviile, the son of Mr.and Mrs Yilbo Brodeu, life-long residents of the College town, and received bis Christian name fro-m that of the municipality.He lived there until be was seventeen years of age, when he went to Windsor, Ontario.There lie secured employment with the Dominion Office Supply Company, remaining with that firm until his death.He was active in sports, being a member of the old Mic Macs hockey team in Windsor.Following his marriage he moved to La Salle- in 1928.The deceased, in addition to other relatives, is survived by two sisters living in the Eastern Townships, Mrs, M.Dillon, of Lenn oxville, and Mrs.F.O.Jordan, of Sherbrooke.Mrs.S.A.Anderson, of Water ille, was a recent guest of Mrs.John Mc-Eachin and Mrs.Walter Cox at their home on the Spring Road.Mrs, W.P.Cox has returned home after spending two weeks with her son-in-law and daughta*\u2019, Mr.and Mrs.Percy E.Byrne, at their home in AVoodsvilk, N.H.The young son of Mr.anti Mrs.George M.Sutherland, Jimmie, is ill at his home on Main Street with influenza, and it is the sincere hope of all his friends, both children and adults, that he will make a speedy recovery.Mrs.Margaret Roberts, of Melbourne, has returned home affer spending a few days as the guest of Mr, and Mr.-.M.H.Pegg at their home on Reed Avenue.Other weekend guests at the same home included Mrs.Wilfred Coulombc and baby, of North Hatley.Mr.and Mrs.N.J.Farquhar, of Huntingdon, were week-end guests of their son and daughter-in-law, Mr.and Mrs.A.B.Farquhar, at their residence on Warren Street.Monthly meeting of the Lennoxvilie Red Cross Branch, Thurs., Nov, 28th, 7.30 p.m,, at Red Cross Room, Town Hall, for members of affiliated groups.4*-* Church Notices i Mrs.George Roach, wife of the accused, took the witness stand this morning shortly before the noon recess as the defence opened its case in the trial of the Magog man, who is accused of the attempted murder of Deputy Chief Rodolphe Leduc, of the Magog Police Department, on the night of December 16, 1939.Controlling her emotions with great difficulty, Mrs.Roach testified that the work of guarding the Dominion Textile plant at Magog ns a member of the Frontiersmen, particularly at night, had been a great strain on her husband.Injured severely about the head in a fall to a cement sidewalk several years ago, Roach had been bothered for some time by bad headaches, she pointed out.In addition, an arm wound received at Vimy Ridge in the Great War of 1914-18 frequently caused him trouble.Mrs.Roach stated that her husband has a very nervous disposition particularly since the outbreak of war.On December 1(3, the day Roach was supposed to have caused a disturbance in a Magog residence and on which he later fired a shot through the door of the Magog police station, wounding Leduc, he accompanied Mrs.Roach on a shopping expedition in the morning, she testified, and in the afternoon, after lying down for some time, went out for a few minutes and then came back with his son and the latter's girl friend.Later he went to the Dominion Textile property to take up his duties, and Mrs.Roach did not learn of the night\u2019s events until the following morning.Justice of the Peace J.E.Kings-land, who is captain of the Magog Branch of Frontiersmen, was the last witness for the Crown.He testified that he helped Chief Police Lavoie to subdue Roach after the accused had fired into the police station.When Kingsland first saw Roach, he was turning into the road that leads up to the police station, carrying a shotgun in his arm.He looked a.s if he was determined to do something rash, the witness testified.Kingsland saw Roach walk up to the door of the station, suddenly move down one step and fire through the centre of the door.Then Chief Lavoie- rushed out and grappled with the accused, upon which Kingsland hurried up, seized the gun and wrested it out of Roach\u2019s grasp.Kingsland said that while Roach was an ex-servneeman he was not a member of the Legion of Frontiersmen.13.N.Holtham, attorney for the defence, attempted to show the jury that Kingsland was antagonisti.' in his attitude toward the accused, and demanded why lu> had failed to stop Continued on Page 2, Col.5.Why Men Sing in Bathrooms!

Although serious enough in any case, the news of British shipping losses is not always as bad as it seems.When merchant ships are announced as victims of enemy action a proportion may live to sail another day, thanks to the salvage experts of the Admiralty.Whenever a vessel is mined, bombed or torpedoed near the British coast in a position which offers these tough, sea-going \u201cwreckers\u201d a sporting chance, they start to work.They do so with three objects: 1\u2014\tTo refloat the vessel and bring her into port.2\u2014\tIf the vessel can\u2019t be saved, to salvage as much of her cargo as possible.3\u2014\tIf both vessel and cargo are beyond hope, to remove as much valuable scrap iron as possible.In a surprisingly high proportion of vessels reported lost, valuable goods or material have been saved, even if the ship could not be salvaged.The most hopeful cases are dealt with first.Other wrecks, which offer ultimate hopes of success to the salvage men, although necessitating time and labor which might he better employed elsewhere, are surveyed and their particulars filed with a view to post-war salvage.One wreck in this district, that of a ship which struck a mine, was a considerable distance off shore and lay in an exposed position.But the sea was calm and the salvage men went to work.The cargo of cereals was removed with Utile difficulty and when dried and de-salted made excellent fodder.A temporary patch was put over the hole beneath the waterline' where the mine had struck and the wreck was towed into port for dry-docking.How effective this salvage work and the convoy system has proved is revealed by F.D\u2019Arcy Cooper, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Export Council of Great Britain, who is visiting Canada to discuss methods of increasing the flow of exports from Great Britain to Canada.Despite enemy attacks on shipping, Mr.Cooper said, Great Britain still is in a position to supply practically all forms of consumable goods to Canada.Mr.Cooper said one of the largest merchandizing organizations in Canada, which lias received nearly $3,000,000 of goods from Great Britain in the last four months, reported their losses of merchandise by enemy action on the seas represented only two per cent, of the goods they received from Britain.THE ROTARY FAIR The Rotary Fair, which opens Thursday evening In the Belvidere Street Armory, provides the citizens of Sherbrooke and vicinity with the opportunity of receiving twin value for their money, i.e., to spend an enjoyable evening and at the same time aid a worthy cause.Ihe Fair, organized and operated by local citizens, is manned by volunteer workers who give freely of their time and effort for the work which has been carried on in recent years by the Rotary Club for crippled and under-privileged children.While the Fair was suspended last year owing to military occupation of the Armory, the work was carried on, largely through the individual generosity of the members, but this year it was decided to restore ihe custom of holding the Fair in order that the work may be restored to its former basis.The Rotary Fair deserves the full support and co-operation from the people of the district, and judging from the pleasure expressed at its restoration, it should prove one of the most successful ever staged by the Sherbrooke Rotary Club.THE RED SHIELD CLUB The Red Shield Club, opened in the Griffith Block under the sponsorship of the Salvation Army for the use of His Majesty\u2019s forces stationed in Sherbrooke, fills a long-felt want in this city.During the past few months Sherbrooke has become an increasingly military centre, with a consequent strain on those organizations seeking to provide for the social and recreational needs of the troops, those stationed in the city at times exceeding two thousand men.Certain .organizations have exended a helping band, but this has been essentially limited to an adaption of civilian organizations to military uses, and has thus proved basically but a makeshift.The new Red Shield Club is designed especially for the troops, being outfitted to meet the special needs'of the man in uniform and staffed by workers, the majority of them volunteers, who understand the problems faced by these men.Special credit is due to Adjutant and Mrs.S.Williams, of the local Salvation Army Citadel, for the splendid work they have achieved in laying the groundwork of the club, in which they were materially assisted by Walter Sutherland, Chairman of the Special Service Committee of local citizens.FRENCH PRESS PRESS COMMENTS l I THE BANK OF MONTREAL Indicating that the financial system of the Dominion is still in a position to meet the increasing burden imposed by the war on the people of Canada, the annual statement of the Bank of Montreal again shows that concern in the strong position which has marked its statements of previous years.The special nature of wartime transactions has resulted in a slight decrease of its assets from last year, but this was more than offset by a reduction of special liabilities, with a resultant increase in surplus and reserves.Reflecting the increased industrial and commercial tempo of the life of the country, commercial loans have increased substantially with a corresponding reduction in the holdings of investments, although the liquid position is still substantially above the safety level.Profits were steady despite a sharply increased lax burden, the federal and provincial imposts in the period under review jumping from $1,198,413 to $1,927,824 or $729,411.Profits were equivalent to 4.3 per cent on the capital, rest and undivided profits.The profit and loss balance carried forward is $1,321,642.LACK OF ENGLISH HANDICAPPING FRENCH YOUTH Le Jour, of Montreal Thousands of our young French-spoaking Canadians who are now engaged in military aviation don\u2019t understand English and, for this reason, find themselves in an intolerable situation.Not only can they not look forward to promotion in the near future, but the Government has been forced to open special schools for them where they can learn the ABS\u2019s of the language needed for aviation in this country and overseas.But what is more serious, senior officers in the Air Force, despite their evident good-will, have been unable to find a sufficient number of competent instructors amongst us; this is embarrassing for the authorities and humiliating for us.We know of one young aviator who had to quit the service because he did not know English, and a host of others who, for the same reason, are held back.Aviation is a career.Because of the war, many of our young men have had the opportunity to learn this exciting way of life without cost to themselves.They hope when the war is over to earn their living in some transport service, which business should develop by leaps and bounds.Unfortunately for several of them, not knowing English is a handicap.Due to circumstances, there are now schools for them which had been denied them by our educators.In peacetime no effort would be made to organize classes: they would ' be told to go and learn English at their own expense.LIVESTOCK HOLDINGS INCREASE Total number of livestock on Canadian farms in June tills year showed a general increase over the corresponding period of last year, the report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics indicates.Poultry figures showed the greatest increase, with 1,137,600 more birds than in June, 1939.Hens and chickens increased by 1,691,500, turkeys by 32,000, geese by 7,200 and ducks by 6,600.Hogs showed an increase of 1,587,800, cattle 90,700, sheep 86,300 and horses 33,270.By provinces, poultry increased in all but Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Alberta.Horses increased slightly in Nova Scotia and Ontario, with larger increases in New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.There were more caille in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, but declines were reported in the Maritimes, Quebec and Manitoba.Sheep increased in Quebec and all Western provinces.Hog figures were higher everywhere.Total figures for livestock in Canada at the end of June Ibis year, with corresponding figures for June, 1939, in brackets are: Horses 2,857,610 (2,824,340); total cattle 8,-

Apart from these things, business is booming, and there never were such times.The streets of Dublin are filled with shoppers, wrell-driess-ed and with money to spend.\u201cSu-; per-cinemas,\u201d with bars and restaurants attached, are playing to capacity, and the legitimate theatres also are enjoying extraordinary patronage.Racing goes on daily on the dog tracks and on the turf courses for thoroughbreds.Large crowds turn out, despite the admission fees, which range up to .$5, and lively betting prevails.Fashionable betels are serving dinners of six and even eight courses, with plenty of cream, butter, bacon, ham and eggs for all diners.Evening clothes have again come back into their own and are required at most social functions.But with all this fullness of life, censorship, in Eire.is vastly more severe than in Britain-\u2014probably the most stringent in the world, say observers on the spot.The German legation in Dublin appears to be largely responsible for that.Let a newspaper in Dublin, or any other part of Eire, dare to publish something eventful on the war, and Hitler\u2019s, representative is quick to lodge a protest on the grounds of an \u201cunneutral attitude.\u201d Let the same newspaper dare to publish anything at all favorable to Britain and the protest comes just as quickly from the same source.This unprecedented prosperity may be enjoyable to Dublin and the rest of Eire; but, somehow, it has a hollow ring, and is not what the remainder of the great British fam-;ly expect from the people of the southern part ox the Emerald Isle in these days of supreme crisis.FROM THE RECORD FILES OF THIRTY YEARS AGO As another move to increase the power supply for Sherbrooke, the City Council is negotiating for the purchase of the Lomas power site on the Magog River, which would allow for a substantial increase in the head of water available at the existing Frontenac Street plant.The following directors were named to the executive committee of the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association: William Morris, W.R.Webster, Alex Ames, L.A.Bayley, James Mackinnon, G.A.Lc-Barou and L.J.Codere.Charles Lepine, a resident of Sherbrooke, was drowned while trapping along the St.Francis River above East Angus.Many residents along the proposed Sherbrooke-Montreal Highway are exerting pressure on the Provincial Government for the construction of an electric railway rather than the road, claiming the tramway would provide better service to all concerned.The store of Robert Morrow at Lis-gar, together with its contents, was destroyed by fire.Seventy-five persons were believed to have perished in the destruction of a large factory building at Newark, N.J.\u201cGlasses definitely help to cure that tired feeling,\u201d declares an oculist.The trouble being, of ^course, that most people can\u2019t afford to keep filling them.Labor was difficult to obtain, so the farmer was obliged to overlook his new hand\u2019s lack of wits.On the first day he told the man to take two horses to a pond to drink.When the \u201cparty\u201d returned the farmer asked: \u201cDid the hors-es drink enough?\u201d \u201cDunno,\u201d said the man thoughtfully scratching bis head, \u201cbut there was a lot o\u2019 water left.\u201d APPLES WASTING Halifax Chronicle Throughout the Annapolis Valley thousands of barrels of good apples lie on the ground.There is a disposition to allow them to remain there and rot.The apples have little marketable, value.A windfall apple, as one official puts it, is \u201calmost a non-grade apple.\u201d It is well nigh impossible to place the apples on the market at any price\u2014and dealers have, no wish to see a flood of apples on the market at sacrifice prices.Such an occurrence would depress the market generally.The genearl manager of the Nova Scotia Apple Marketinig Board holds out little hope that growers will be able to salvage anything from these windfall apples.Even the processing plants have but a lim-jited demand for fruit since their outlet is restricted.But the apples are good for early use.They should be recovered and ! distributed before they spoil.\u201cJulia, do you know what love is?\u201d The young man put the question in an intense voice.\u201cYes,\u201d was the firm answer.\u201cBut do you really know?\u201d he asked again.\u201cHave you ever been the object of an undying love as all-pervading as the air, as wonderful and sparkling as the stars?Have you ever loved and been loved like that, Julia?\" In an agony of suspense, he waited for her answer.\u201cHave 1?\u201d she murmured.\u201cIn my bedroom I have a trunk of letters, a box full of photographs, and seven engagement rings.\u201d THE BLESSING \u201cMy hands are full .\u201d we use that phrase So very often, nowadays.We say it with a sigh, nor guess Our hands are full of happiness.For work that is our very own.That we can do, and we alone; The happy meetings with our friends, Sweet leisure hours when duty ends; The care of children, pets and flowers\u2014 These tasks that occupy the hours From morning till the sun has set, Should we not lose them with regret?Thank God for duties grave and light.That fill our hands from morn to night! If these are gone, then joy departs, For empty hands mean empty hearts.\u2014Claire Ritchie.The boss was giving the new traveller some last-minute advice before he left on his first journey.\u201cWell, good luck to you, my boy,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd remember, if you hâve an important message, wire us without delay.\u201d\t; The following day a wire arrived: \u201cArrived here safely.Got a lovely room with bath.Feeling fine.\u201d The boss replied: \"So glad.Remember to air your nightie.Love and kisses.\u201d Daniel Gabriel Rossetti, the great poet, lived far apart from the everyday life of mankind simply from a lack of interest in passing events.During the French revoiution, a friend of Rossetti\u2019s burst into his room and breathlessly exclaimed: \u201cLouis-Philippe has landed in England!\u201d \u201cHas he?\u201d said Rossetti calmly, without looking up from his book.\u201cWhat has he come for 2\u2019\u2019 DEFIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES Cleveland Plain Dealer In proclaiming his \u201cunalterable determination to continue the struggle to a clear decision,\u201d Adolf Hitler has hurled a challenge in the face of the United States.He makes his meaning plain by saying that Germany \u201ctoday is strong enough to stand against any | combination on earth.There is no ! coalition of powers which could with-j stand us.\u201d This sweeping defiance, coupled with Hitler\u2019s rejection of any I compromise, reveals the intentions ! of the Nazi war lords to rule supreme, and not necessarily in Europe alone.In anticipatory answer, the United States announced at the time this speech was being made in celebration of the seventeenth anniversary of the Munich beer hall putsch, that half of its arms production would be made available to Great Britain.How effective this will be in meeting the Nazi allegation that \u201cGerman productive capacity is the world\u2019s highest\u201d depends on how fully the American public realizes the implications to this country and its interests of Hitler\u2019s aggression.Since Hitler will not compromise, the appeasement ideas for post-war collaboration with a victorious Germany, as promulgated by Colonel Lindbergh and others,, seem condemned by Dor Fuehrer himself.It is plain notice that this country cannot expect to live at peace in a world dominated by a coalition of Axis powers any more than can the small states of Europe.We have already helped the \u201cBritish war mongers,\u201d meaning the Government of Churchill and the men who are fully awake to the Nazi menace, and are compromised anyway.Hitler has no love for this country, as is evident from his condemnation of President Wilson.On past occasions he has marie his contempt clear and he underscored it in the Munich diatribe.Under these circumstances Ameri- HE PROFITS MOST WHO SERVES BEST a m ROTARY FORTUNATE cans have but one choice.It is already made.What is essential is that this nation comprehend the size and urgency of the job required of it.Britain cannot defeat Germany until the productive resources on which it can draw exceed those of the Third Reich.Britain and the Commonwealth believed less iffian a year ago that war could be conducted as a sideline.This fallacy was overcome in time.The United Stqtes today believes it can go serenely on its way, letting the British and the Allies do the fighting, while a contribution in the shape of a few arms is made now and then.This is the fallacy which we must overcome.Until the time that America realizes that this is its fight as much as that of any European country; until it is fully cognizant of the fact that it cannot escape the consequences of war, do what it will, Hitler\u2019s bombastic utterances may stand unchallenged.By sharing our arms output with Britain a start has been made.But in this battle of the factories time is essential.Germany has been preparing for nearly a decade for the war she forced or.Europe.The democracies have been trying to catch up only since the conflict opened with the invasion of Poland.This handicap can be overcome when the minds of the free people of the world are made up to do the job.Permission to purchase a total of 26,000 planes in this country\u2014when they are produced\u2014is not enough.They must be produced in a hurry to be effective.Likewise with other materials from rifles to destroyers and merchant ships.This is costing the American people nothing.Britain is paying for everything.It may cost them dearly, however, if the output lags.Hitler says he is \u201cable today to mobolize vast European forces\u201d in his fight for world supremacy.He has tied the continent to his chariot and forced its people to slave for a Nazi victory.Only if the resources of the free world, of which America is the centre, are mobilized in a counter-offensive will the challenge be met.McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority TFRM \u201cAMATEUR\u201d IS WRONG IN BRIDGE; NON MASTERS BETTER Through the Master Point system of the American Contract Bridge League, we find that an erroneous term has crept into bridge, the \u201camateur\u201d championship.All bridge contests are in reality amateur.No cash prizes are pennitted by the league, nor any betting.A player with ten Master points jto his credit, however, is rated a ' Master and is not eligible for the \u201camateur\u201d games.Neither is the so-called amateur eligible to participate in Masters\u2019 games.Generally the winner of a major amateur event immediately gains sufficient points for a Master rating.The non-Masters or amateur pair game of the Metropolitan Tournament in New Y\u2019ork this year was won by Mrs.John D.Wareing of Maple-w ood, N.J., and Ralph Gresham of East Orange.The skill they displayed in the hand shown today proves that they merit advancement to the Master class.Mrs.Wareing\u2019s bid of four no trump asked her partner for the number of aces in his hand.His response of diamonds, showed one ace, and Mrs.Wareing realized that a slam was impossible.She could bid five spades, but she figured that Gresham\u2019s ace was probably the ace of spades because of his delayed raise in spades.If Gresham held five diamonds, she Gresham A A 7 3 r/Q.o» *K 7 4 9 4 SP 9 7 6 3 $ A 8 2 4 AQ53 A J 10 2 V Q 10 5 4 #\tJ *\tJ 10 9 8 2 Mrs.Wareing AKQ865 V AK J # 7 6 4 3 46 Duplicate\u2014None vul.South\tWest\tNorth\tEast 1 4\tPass\t2 *\tPass 3 #\tPass\t3 4\tPass 4 N.T.\tPass\t5 #\tPass Opening\u2014\t\t4 J.\t26 might expect to find the opponents\u2019 diamonds divided 3-1 with the consequent danger of a diamond ruff.She therefore made the fine decision jto pass five diamonds.You can see what could have happened if she had carried the contract to five spades.The ace of diamonds could have been opened, a small diamond ruffed, a club returned to West\u2019s ace and then another I diamond ruff for East.You will further note that the five-diamond 'contract could not be beaten.VALUABLE TIMBER TREE TIMELY COMMENTS Attorney General Conant is moving against a salacious magazine, produced in Ontario.This constitutes another reminder of the fact that not all of the dirt in circulation is imported.\u2014Brockville Recorder and Times.Those Greek soldiers wearing the wee bit skirts must be nearly as good as the Scotch kilties, judging from the way they\u2019re mussing up Mussolini\u2019s men.\u2014Stratford Beacon-Her-ald.For a father to plan that his son may have things much easier than he did in his youth, may be to deprive him of some of life\u2019s greatest advantages.\u2014Buffalo Courier-Express.Nazi fliers have dropped bombs on the Wimbledon tennis courts.They would be wiser to concentrate on military objectives like the playing fields of Eton.\u2014The New Yorker.The Axis, it is reported, is trying to bribe Bulgaria with a strip of Euoprean Turkey.Sort of a \u201cif as and when\u201d proposition.\u2014 Ottawa Journal.The best thing to keep an argument going is unintelligence on both sides.\u2014 Quebec Chronicle - Telegraph.Akron man flipped a coin, caught it in his mouth and swallowed it.Maybe he thought a little change would do him good.\u2014Kitchener Record.At a buffet supper most of us act gay enough to conceal our fear of a catastrophe.\u2014Brandon Sun.Talk of national unity in the United States is encouraging.It may spread to the Dominion.\u2014St.Catharines Standard.HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured timber tree 4 It belongs to the genus 9 Good-by 11\tDuet.12\tKind of bean.13\tCotton picker 14\tSand dunes.16 Violent dreads 20 To weep 22\tAwn.23\tRedress.27\tFrost bite.28\tLittle devil 30\tSimpleton.31\tPeasant.32\tNorth America (abbr.).33\tTo prosper.34\tTo perform.35\tMulberry tree 37\tRailroad (abbr.).38\tWaistcoats.40 Leers.43 Tidier.46 Church Answer to Previous Puzzle Sill officials.48\tStrong wind 49\tThis tree\u2019s fruit.52\tSand.53\tSolar orb 54\tGiver.55\tBird of prey 56\tBugs.57\tTwisted cord.VERTICAL 1\tGrain.2\tFuss.3\tRelatives.4\tIn so far as, 5\tRims.6\tDestruction 7\tPine fruits.8\tHeaven.10 Water cress plants.14\tMinute quantity.15\tRail (bird).16\tIts fruit is used in \u2014\u2014 leather.17\tAssam silkworm, 18\tLaceration.19\tIndolent.21 To happen.24\tNeuter pronoun.25\tSpike of con» 26\tIt is a valuable hardwood -tree.29\tRight of precedence,;

forefront of Canadian finance.Assets of $961,334,955 show some contraction as compared with the previous report, when an all-time record of $1,025,508,367 was established\u2014due in part to transactions of a special nature, as was explained at the annual meeting of shareholders\u2014but showing a substantial increase over the total of $874,255,-828 reported in 1938.The profits for the year, after making appropriations to Contingent Reserve Fund and provision for bad and doubtful debts and Federal and Provincial taxes, were $3,435,941, as compared with $3,-462,446 in 1939.The increase in the bank\u2019s contributions to public revenues is indicated by an increase in Federal and Provincial taxes from $1,198,413 to $1,927,824, or $729,-411.The profits are the equivalent of 4.5% on the capital, rest and undivided profits, showing no appreciable change.Strong Liquid Position The Bank's liquid position is strongly maintained.Quickly available resources, totalling $663,185,-436, show some contraction, largely as the result of the reduction of holdings of Government and other bonds and debentures from $517,-171,255 to $461,827,040, but arc still at the high

military dictatorships of Europe.More, indeed, than standing up.It has continued to wage against them an economic offensive.It has launched and sustained the great air offensive against Nazi Germany\u2019s power of waging war.It has reforced its strength in the \u201cSecond Front,\u201d the Middle East.Yet when France collapse, there ; were many, not only among our (enemies, but among our friends in 'neutral countries who thought (Britain could not be expected to stand alone against the two com-jbined dictatorships.But there were in fact reasons enough for anxiety\u2014reasons which became acute when there was a propect that the French Navy would fall into German hands.The New World felt itself threatened.It appeared to many there that the British Navy could not retain control of the Atlantic, and Britain herself, with her Air Force outnumbered and her Army without equipment, seemed to lie open to invasion.Today the confidence of our friends is restored.It has been demonstrated\u2014and this is perhaps the outstanding feature of this phase of the war\u2014that the British base is safe.The British Isles will not fall.What has brought about this astonishing change in the situation?In the widest sense it is to the cooperation of the three fighting services that must be attributed the Empire\u2019s power to continue the struggle.The Navy has continued to (control sea communications and to it is owed not only Britain\u2019s food supply but armaments in manufactured form and as raw materials.It has maintained, at the same time, the stranglehold of the blockade and, with the Air Force, has made attempts at invasion prohibitively dangerous except to fanatics rushing to their doom.The R.A.F.has contributed largely to making naval operations and movements of shipping possible in waters where they are exposed to air attack.It has repulsed air attacks which might have destroyed British industry and has greatly reduced the losses that otherwise would have been suffered from air bombardment.The Army has been re-armed and re-organized.The Home Guard has sprung into existence and has been equipped.Ground defences against air attack have also been multiplied.Britain has, in fact, built up an immensely powerful defensive line \u2014one which depends for its strength as much on human material as on steel and concrete.Britain must not, however, victim to the Maginot complex, become obsessed solely with problem of defending a base, actions being carried out by the Royal Air Force and the Navy are healthy signs that the offensive spirit is retained.But the importance of the Empire\u2019s outposts must not be forgotten in determination to defend the base.Egypt and the Middle East have become almost as important a theatre of operations as Britain itself.Imperial security there is of vital importance, and there also may arise the opportunity not only of frustrating the enemy\u2019s intentions but of striking back.Looking back on these four months, the Empire has made an amazing recovery both in itself and in the world\u2019s estimation.Is it surprising that confidence has been restored, and that neutral opinion has been impressed?The moral and material assistance which the Empire\u2019s efforts have won from its friends is perhaps the most reassuring tribute that could be paid to them.NUDISTS TABOO IN NAVY

By n.E.BURR ITT j\t(Canadian Press Staff Writer) ' R.A.F.Fighter Station, Somewhere in England, Nov.26\u2014,(P!\u2014The adjutant.Flying Officer Peter D.I\tMacDonald of Halifax, N.S., tossed 'a little index book across his docu-Iment-laden desk and, heaving a .sigh of regret, leaned back in his swivel chair.\u201cI\u2019m terribly sorry,\u201d he apologized, \u201cbut I\u2019m afraid that\u2019s the only written records we have of the All-Canadian Squadron.And about the only thing it shows is what boys are still with us and what boys we lost over there.\u201d He tilted his head île indicate France and for a moment (lapsed into silence as he aimlessly 'polished his already gleaming (spectacles.Then he cleared his (throat and added: | \u201cOf course, what happened over there seems to have happened a very long time ago.Our outfit have written now history since their return i to England.Their activity in the Battle of Britain, especially around London, has been reported, I suppose, so I don\u2019t have to tell you what (they have done lately.\u201cAnd yet, they did a great deal of good work in France, as you probably know.But we have nothing ex-jeept that little book to record their (bravery over there.That part of j 'their history, ] suppose, will have to 'remain unwritten for a while.It is (really too bad, because the people back in Canada bave every right to (be proud of a grand bunch of boys.II\tshouldn\u2019t call them boys, because 'they are men, the very best type of 1 men.\u201d I Motioning for us to examine the little yellow book, he lapsed into silence again.The book was well-thumbed, mainly from the entering of so many 'names, ranks, numbers and other I cold facts of official records.But it told nothing of the hell through which the squadron have lived and .fought prior to and during the hectic days of Dunkerque.It told nothing of the terrific odds lagainst which the young Canucks (battled in the smoke-blotched skies day after day; told nothing of the (scores of German planes they pared 'from the overwhelming formations (that blasted Dunkerque beaches (swarming with British troops wait-ling to be evacuated.But it was during those bewilder-jing days that the squadron really made for itself the name that has 'spread throughout the R.A.F.The legless Squadron Loader Douglas (Bader was in command.Accurate information regarding the number of planes brought down by the All-Canadian group is not available, and for this the adjutant again apologized.j \u201cI can\u2019t honestly tell you how many enemy planes they brought j down,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause we lost (some of our records when we left (France.You know, of course, we were forced to leave in a bit of a I hurry.\u201d He took back the little book and (began reading out names and the (fate of the personnel.Many of the (twenty-five originals have gone now.Six were killed, three missing, three (prisoners of war and at least six | were wounded.Some of the w\u2019ounded (were able to return.\u201cHe is still with us,\u201d he would (say after reading a name.Then he read more, adding quietly, \u201ckilled,\u201d or \u201cmissing,\u201d or \u201cwounded.\u201d \u201cWe got a pretty bad knock over Dunkerque,\u201d he said, \u201cand that\u2019s whore many of our casualties were suffered.\u201d But if the squadron lost heavily \u2022 there, they gave more than they Igot, for the incomplete records show that they were credited with at (least twenty-eight enemy planes in that section alone.| The Adjutant was asked to explain tiny asterisks alongside the j names of Pilot Officer Lidstone (McKnight of Calgary, and Flying (Officer G.P.Christie, of Montreal.\u201cOh, I should have told you about (those.\u201d ho said.\u201cWe add those to indicate they are holders of the D.C.F.\u201d THANKSGIVING DAY EXTRA Atlanta, Ga., Nov.26.\u2014(fP)\u2014The Atlanta Constitution celebrated the (United States\u2019 Thanksgiving today (by publishing an eighty-page edition and omitting war news from the \u2022front page.CHEESE STATE ; Cheddar cheese, named for Cheddar, England, today is produced in ¦uch quantities in Wisconsin that the state produces more than the whole of Groat Britain.We Wish THE ROTARY FAIR Every Success \u201cPATRONIZE THE FAIR\u201d UNION SCREEN PLATE CO.of Canada, Limited.Lennoxville, Que.Sherbrooke Rotary Club Members: H.Downs, Jr.E.Gilbey WITH ALL GOOD WISHES FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE ROTARY FAIR fwvlclt KEENE\u2019S GARAGE Dufferin Avenue Sherbrooke.Sherbrooke Rotary Club Member \u2014 Fores!
