license belonging to his father he shold have been taking greater care and precautions.Carbonneaa testified that he was driving on the proper side of the road and in turn blamed the driver of the team for negligence because he said that he was not over to the side of the road and since it was dark and the team was travelling without a light he could not see it.It was iater established by a constable from the Provincial Police that at the time of the accident it was still light because the accident had happened around seven in the evening and not around nine as Carbonneau stated.Justice White ordered Carbonneau to pay the amount equal to the hospital bills plus an added amount for inconvenience and for the costs of the court.Action was dismissed ir.a similar case involving Mr.and Mrs.A.Lefebvre and C.Foucher in which Lefebvre and C.Faucher in which for $2,175.12 damages for an accident which occured in the latter part of October.Antonin Lefebvre said that he and his wife were travelling in a car with Faucher near St.Eustache when the car suddenly left the road and hit a tree injuring both parties.This the plantiff blamed on Faucher because he said that he was incapable of driving the automobile and he was also driving under the influence of sleep.In testifing Faucher said that both Mr.and Mrs.Lefebvre knew that he had been working late that night and that he was very sleepy but yet they were prepared to go with him.He also testified that they knew that he had just recently purchased a car and was not an expert driver.The Court later questioned Lefebvre as to whether or not he could drive a car and when he replied that he could he was asked if he offered to drive the car for a while to which he replied that he did not.The condition of the road, which was slippery at the time, and the fact that the night of the accident was wet and rainy all increased the hazards of driving and in giving judgement Justice White said that the plaintiffs knew all the conditions under which they Were making the trip and were still willing to go that he thought they should be obliged to suffer the consequences and he dismissed the case.Stating that \u201cThere is a long line of jurisprudence to the effect that our courts do not recognize a separate domicile for the purpose of divorce, and that a divorce granted by a foreign court to persons living in the Province of Quebec is without effect in this Province, Mr.Justice C.D.White annulled the marriage of Herbert J.Main, of Washington, District of Columbia, Blanche Wright,in a Superior Court action in which Main charged that after marrying Blanche Wright he found that she was already married and that her husband was still alive.In his testimony Main said that he had married Miss Wright in Len-noxville in 1920 and at the time she claimed that she was a widow and that she had no dependents.Main said that he discussed this matter with her quite thoroughly and that she insisted that her husband was dead.He later went on to say that some time after he found that her husband, whose name was Hector Howe, was still alive and that he was living in Montreal.He also found out that she had one child whom she had previously denied having.It was for these reasons that Main said that he wished to have the marriage annulled.Defendant admitted that her husband was still living, but she said that after her marriage to him, which took place in the State of Vermont in 1909, she had obtained a decree of divorce in 1919 in the same State.She said that at the time of her marriage both she and Hector Howe were living in the Province of Quebec, but that they went to Vermont to 'get married since in this Province she wras a minor and could not marry without the consent of her parents.She said that when she wanted a divorce she had to go to the United States once again because she could not obtain one through the Courts of this Province.After getting the divorce she said that she then considered herself to be single again and that she did not live with Howe any longer, In rendering judgment in the case, Justice White said that there were three questions of law to be settled before a satisfactory judgment could be given.He said that the first was: Had the Court any jurisdiction in the matter; 2\u2014Was the marriage in Vermont an absolute nullity or merely nullible and, 3\u2014Was the divorce obtained in the State of Vermont of any value in the Province of Quebec^ He said that in the first question he felt that the Court had the necessary jurisdiction to hear and decide the case since two people from this Province -who were married under false pretensions in the Province were involved.In the second case he said there was little doubt about the marriage to the man with whom she had been living for a number of years and in the last case he said that according to law the divorce obtained in the State of Vermont was without effect in the Province of Quebec and that she was still the legal wife of Hector Howe and not of Herbert Main.He said that it was for these reasons that he de-declared the marriage annulled and dismissed the whole case with full costs against the defendant.MONTREAL STOCK EXCHANGE COUNTRY AND DAIRY PRODUCTS PRICES \u2018A\u201d The following quotations are sup- Asbestog Corp.Bathurst Paper .Bell Telephone .U-azilian.Brack

The Rev.Fred Williams, of the Trinity United Church in Sherbrooke, spoke next to the employees, .after being introduced by W.E.j Sutherland, Office Manager of the ; Company.i In bold, realistic terms, Mr.Williams warned \u201cwe must not letdown jour fighting men, and let them be ashamed of us at this crisis.We must prove our loyalty t them in their great sacrifices for us.\u201d The speaker stated that all eyes are turned on the campaign.\u201cWe can inspire our men and demoralize our enemies by a magnificent excess of gifts.This is possible.Resolve to make it actual.Let us all give generously, gratefully, joyously and prayerfully, and thus deserve the early decisive Victory we all pray for.\u201d Lauding the work accomplished by_ the \u201csoldiers\u201d in industry, he said these workers on the home With an objective of $18,700, em-| ployees of the Superheater Company, Limited, subscribed a total of $2ti,950 to Canada\u2019s Fifth Victory Loan in a one-day canvas which was carried out throughout the plant yesterday.Without any out-! ward show; without speeches or fanfare, the salesmen and employees got down to business ami the subscriptions rolled in at rapid ,speed.| Starting at nine-thirty o'clock | yesterday morning, the first half ihour brought in $15,600.At eleven j o\u2019clock, an hour later, the tola! stood at $21,450, and at noon the figure was $22,900.This morning the Company an-jiiour.ced the final total of $23,950, the difference having come from the I foundry night shift.The greater number of night employees subserib-|ed as they were leaving the plant .yesterday morning.Employees of the Superheater Company may well feel proud of j their contribution, and the Company may well feel proud of its employees.This is another contribu-tion to the war effort of the United : Nations and another contribution to the defeat of Hitler and his yellow ally.| front are doing as well as those in khaki, stressing that the workers I must continue to stand behind the i men in the lines.Speaking in French, Charles de L.Mignault said that the tests we face now arc, in their way, infinitely more difficult than others cn-c untered and overcome in the ; past.In stressing the necessity for the employees to buy more bonds, to hack up the men who arc j giving their lives, he said.\u201cIf it |sometimes seems that the shouting about it is a little annoying, a little ! loud, remember that ot the loudest ! shout can wake the dead who went out with the fighting forces.\u201d Mr.Mignault was introduced by H.G.Loken, Superintendent.Mr.Loken conducted the rally, prior to which a talking motion picture film, entitled \u201cSicily, Key to Victory,\u201d was screened and enjoyed by all.Following the whirl and campaign in which the quota was doubled, refreshments were served.The firm chanced off a bond for fifty dollars and this was won by T.de Fontaine, of Sherbrooke.Among others sitting on the platform, especially decorate! for the Victory Loan rally, were H.A.Pea-b'dy.Joint Chairman of the Public Relations Committee of the local N.W.F.C.; an A.L.Kidd, Pevmen en Field Representative of Divisions Five and Six of the N.W.F.C.Postal Santa Claus Is Speeding Parcels Overseas For Yuletide With the deadline for mailing of Christmas parcels to Canadians in the armed forces overseas only four days away, residents of Sherbrooke are responding well to the plea to do their mailing as soon as possible, it was learned today.\u201cOur soldier mail is already quite ' heavy and it is increasing steadily every day.It is much heavier than last year.That was expected with .so many more of our men overseas | now,\u201d said C.E.Soles, local Post-! master.| Parcels for civilians overseas go ;to the base office in Montreal.The .movement of these, however, has not been very heavy so far as the : deadline for them has not been announced and will be considerably I later for the military parcels.But there are some every day.The parcels are dispatched from the local post-office the day they are mailed.No time is lost here as the postal authorities wish to take advantage of any space available on ships leaving from Atlantic ports and wish to avoid congestion about deadline time.Mr.Soles says that so far the post-office staff has been able to handle the parcel mail without delay of any kind.Hfc hopes that the mailing will continue steadily and urges citizens not to wait until the deadline on Monday, November 1.\u201cThe sooner we can get them the sooner we can send them on their way, and the more certain it will be that they reach the recipients in good time for Christmas,\u201d he said.IVellington St.North, Sherbrooke Telephone 167 ne of Better Paints and Papers Save Hot Water By washing your dishes in a dish-pan instead of under running hot water, you can save up to one-sixth of a ton of coal a year.Don\u2019t shave with the hot water running, and use no more than five inches of water in the bathtub.J.S.Mitchell & Co.LIMITED CHARITIES TO SEEK $12,000 IN CAMPAIGN The eighth annual campaign of the Catholic Federated Charities, with an objective of $12,000, is scheduled to be held from November 7th to 14th inclusively.A gala programme has been arranged for the opening night of the drive when approximately five hundred invited guests will witness a musical festival being put on by the orphans of the Sacred Heart Hospital.In addition to this entertainment, a number of prominent citizens will make brief speeches at the institution in support of the campaign.The various committees have virtually completed all the details connected with the organization of the drive.A feature, as announced by the publicity committee, will be a daily luncheon at 12:30 to be tendered all the canvassers in the campaign.In addition to these regular guests, the committee is planning to invite various clubs and organizations on different days of the week.The objective of $12,000 is similar to last year\u2019s when more than $18,-000 was realized.Officials anticipate no difficulty in attaining this year\u2019s quota, providing everyone gives the organization full co-operation.Decisions In Nine Cases Are Handed Down In Local Court MYRA THEATRE RICHMOND Fri.-Sat.\u2014Oct.29-30 \u201cJOHNNY COME LATELY\u201d James Cagney, Grace George Marj.Main \u201cAVENGING RIDER\u201d Tim Holt, Cliff Edwards, Ann Summers Andre Pratt, of Magog, was ordered to pay J.Dorius Hamel the sum of $12,387.15 in a Superior Court judgment handed down by Justice C.D.White.Hamel, who is a merchant and general contractor in Magog, claimed that he had a contract with Pratt to build a henhouse at a cost of $5,-300.of which he was to furnish the supplies and labor.On completion of the building Hamel said that he was then asked to repair a roof on the house and do several other odd jobs which with all expenses totalled $14,-887.15.He told the court that he had received only $2,500 from Pratt and that after waiting a sufficiently long time for the money he had decided to ask the court for judgment for the $12,CyB7.15 which was owing him.In his defence Pratt said that the work done by Hamel had not been carried out according to his specifications and plans and that both the workmanship and the materials used were of ah inferior quality.Pratt said that fhuch of the W'ork had to be done oijer and that as a result of this his expenses ran high.Later on in the case sufficient proof was furnished, however, that there were no plans drawn up and that Pratt ha a left the construction of the henhouse and the other repairs completely up to Hamel, The defendant also admitted that he had let the! contracts and admitted the $5,300 ! agreement with Hamel for the henhouse.Other expert contractors were then called in and they testified that the amount charged was within reason since it is quite frequently more expensive to repair an old house than it would be to construct a new one.Justice White ordered Pratt to pay Hamel the total amount plus interest and costs.An action in which Donate Mar- cheterre was claiming $237.62 fo back salary under the Fair Wage Act from Ÿvan Biron was dismissed by Justice W\u2019hito because the plaintiff could not furnish sufficient proof for his charge.Lack of evidence in the case of Ernest Adam vs.Adelard Lehoux and Roland Nadeau brought about another dismissal by Justice White.In the case Adam was taking action against Lehoux and Nadeau for a btawl which involved the three parties but because of the fact that there were no witnesses at the fight and since the men Involved were all under the influence of liquor no sufficient proof could be given and the case was dismissed with costs against the plaintiff.Another action in which Gaudias Denis, of Coaticook, asked $999 damages from Leonard Madore who he .-aid was the cause of his arrest on a false and malicious charge was also dismissed by Justice White.The case of Esdras Lavarrlere, of Eastman, and Delphis Picard, of Fitch Bay.in which Lavarriere was suing for $276.50 damages for a horse which had died while in possession of Picard was also dismissed The plaintiff said that he had leased a team of horses to Picard for $300 and that shortly after one of the horses died.He claimed maltreatment and negligence on the part of Picard and asked for $150.Other it( ms were also brought up for damage to a harness and other implements which belonged to Lavarriere but which were in the possession of Picard.The case of Clement Beland vs.J.Stewart in which Beland was asking for damages for an unlawful arrest in connection with some trouble which broke out at the Dominion Lime Company was also dismissed CUNIC MOBILE UNIT REGISTERS GREAT SUCCESS Successfully inaugurating the Sherbrooke Mobile Unit of the Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic the C.J.M.Athletic Club at Asbestos was the scene of action yesterday as 68 donors from the company and citizens of Asbestos gave their blood in response'to the ever-increasing demand from overseas for more blood plasma.Operating under the direction of R.S.Gardner, Factory Manager of the Canadian Johns-Manville Co.Ltd., Co-Chairman with Dr.A.R.'Grégoire, one of the most efficient | clinics yet held by the Sherbrooke district Blood Clinic gave every indication that the success of similar clinics throughout the Sherbrooke district would materially boost the i Canadian Blood Bank.Four beds were in constant use yesterday | morning.Response from local firms and kind-hearted citizens was most generous and aided the efficiency and smooth operation of the clinic to an : incalculable extent.Nine Asbestos nurses aided the Sherbrooke Clinic staff, composed of Mrs.J.A.C.Thomson, Technician, Mrs.A.Hunting, in charge of Mobile Unit, and Mrs.Ross Bishop, station wagon driver, while eleven Asbestos ladies assisted in the serving, as reception-! ists, etc.Four Asbestos doctors, Dr.' A.R.Grégoire, Dr.R.H.Stevenson, Dr.G.N.I.etendrc and Dr.G.A.Letendre were in attendance j throughout the day I The officials of the clinic were i most grateful for the contribution of Coca-Cola from an Asbestos firm, while others donated a five-gallon coffee urn, and a supply of coffee.Biscuits, cake, ice cream, linen sup-! plies and hospital necessities such j as nurses\u2019 masks, etc., were donated by several Asbestos women.First donor yesterday was Rev.Father Noel, Chaplain of the National Catholic Syndicate, while the 1 predominance of Johns-Manville j workers was another indication of the splendid job being done by that | firm.The next clinic will bo held in j Asbestos in two weeks\u2019 time.| Asbestos nurses were Mrs.Henry j Baumier, Mrs.Eugene.Bourbeau, Mrs.J.Oullette, Mrs.R.Bourque, Mrs.C.D.Borror, Mrs.J.M.Beau-ehosne, Mrs.Tom Heron, Miss Robinson, Mrs.M.A.Gendreau.Helpers were Joint-Secretaries, Mrs.G.K.Foster and Mrs.A.R.Grégoire, Mrs.C.Boisclair, Miss A.Morin, Mrs.H.Gauvert, Mrs.A.Chausse, Mrs.H.K.Sherry, Mrs.E.Bergeron, Mrs.T.Miller, Mrs.R.J.Morrison, Mrs.C.M.McGaw, Mrs.G.Little and Mrs.G.M.Boyd.WOMEN DONORS Certain disappointment and confusion has occurred at the Blood Clinic because many women donors were not familiar with the regulations that three months must elapse before they can give a second donation.The male donors who gave blood during August, the opening month of the Clinic, are now being called back, but the women donors must wait a month longer.Many women have offered to give their second donation and appeared very disappointed when told that they must wait for a longer period, MANY ATTEND FUNERAL FOR C.MacINTYRE Largely attended by friends and relatives, the funeral of Curtis MacIntyre was held from his late residence, with services being conducted in Trinity United Church by the Rev.Fred Williams, who was assistetd by | the Rev.F.A.C.Doxsce.The only honorary bearer was N.!

war today is so highly and ex- operation.And paradoxically, before Burma can be recaptured, the Allies must re-open the Burma Road \u2014or its equivalent.The point is that military supplies of all kinds must be moved to the impoverished Chinese so that they can strike against Burma from the North at the same time that the amphibious invasion takes place on the South from the Bay of Bengal.So the Allies have been developing an alternative route that runs through Inian Assam, Northwest of Burma, until it is close to the Burmese border in the far North.From the terminus engineers have hewed an extension Southeastward right into the enemy-held territory of Burma.Now the Allies want to link the road with the Burma road on the other THE CANADIAN VOLUNTEER SERVICE MEDAL side of Northern Burma, a tall order.They also aim to connect with the Town of Myitkyina, which is the with the co-operation of the Canadian civil authorities and the officials in charge of the Allied air forres on the Italian front.With the increasing Allied air raids against the Rumanian oi! fields and induslrial centres, surely room could be found in one of these planes for a man of Gunesch's menial stature while the loss ot a parachute in dropping him behind the enemy lines would be amply repaid by ridding the country of a man of this calibre.In any case, if he is compelled to remain with Canadians for the duration of the wai, his views should be placed in record so that he can be repatriated after the war, with definite arrangements made to see that he keeps out of this country.railhead for Mandalay to the South and is the main Japanese base in the North.The only way lo do that is to clean the Japanese out of that neck of the primeval world.And that brings us up m the present fighting in Yunnan.The Chinese hold the Western side of the Salween River near where the Burma Road passes over it by a suspension bridge The Salween at this point lies at the bottom of a gorge some five thousand feet deep.The middle of this month the Japanese suddenly started an offensive against the Chinese on the Salween, and there was much speculation as to the exact meaning of the attack.It now seems that the Nipponese were striking defensively, to prevent the Chinese from making a drive of then own into Northern Burma and clearing a route for the extension of the alternative road.The creation of the \u201cCanadian Volunteer Service Medal\u201d to be awarded to most volunteer members of the Canadian army, navy and air force, which has just been announced by the three Defence Ministers, should answer a long-felt want in Canadian military circles, that of a suitable award for timse men and women who have answered the call of tneir country and signified their willingness to serve in any service area which the service heads deem it advisable to send them but who, through the force of circumstances, have not engaged in some particular battle or campaign.The condition has been unusually prevalent among the land forces of the Dominion in the war to date.Ever since the fall of 1939, Canadian troops have been stationed at Overseas points and took an important part in the defence of the British Isles during the dark days following Dunkerque But few of them have taken part in any active campaign.A detachment went to Spitzbergen, otners made a glorious name for themselves on the beaches of Dieppe and now units of the First Division are serving in Italy.But for thousands of others, the only-rewards of war have been long hours of monotonous guard duties on inhospitable shores and perhaps the ,\t.T ,\t,\t\u201e\tpersonal satisfaction of knowing an unpleasant job correspondent in London.In an effort lo remove ,,, ,___________ T .,\t,\t,\t,\t,\t, U ,\t.\t,\t: well done, lo them there has been no glory and no some of the misunderstanding, Heston outlines the jlonor ti work being done by the British people, ''ightlv hold-\t,\t, ,, .,p ,\t-,\t,\t.\t'\t!
