And we certainly wondered tine morning:' In fact the whole neigh- borhood was shocked when it woke up to find a big bank barn near her; with practically all its con- tents burnt to the ground. Also burnt were about a dozen cows and heifers,some pigs and over three hundred hens. In other words not only did the farmer suffer the loss of his barn and livestock but also the source u ce of his weekly income. The ;city of it is, the farmer in question was a young war veteran who served with distinction in the R.C.A.F. The war being over he, with his young wife and baby, set- tled down to what showed every promise of being -a successful ca- reer as a farmer. And now this. Can you .imagine the sheer ter- ror of getting up in the morning to find your barn a blazing in- ferno! For that is what happened in this case. No one knows how the fire started—the young farm er got up to begin his day's work —and there was the fire. The loss is all the more unfortunate when equipment and building materials are so hard to get -and at such a price. * * * That all-important subject of price brings us around again to the latest price increases—soap, tex- tiles, leather goods, fats and oils. When the price increases were first announced I just about saw red—especially when' Mayor Saun- ders, of Toronto, announced his de- termination to keep the price of milk down, if at all possible. I won- der if he knows that the farm population, as well as urban, has to pay alt those other increases too. An.l we need something to pay with. Well, after a while I began to cool off and I finally came to the conclusion that possibly the up- swing in prices might result in a levelling off period, and also bring about a possible reduction in the spending money of the young fry, which would certainly be for their ultimate good. . w * e Imagine this: A friend of mine who often stops in at a tearoom told me that time after time the has seen high school youngsters come in after school, order a "coke", sandwiches or sundae — possibly all three—and spend any- where from fifteen to forty-five cents each) Surely it isn't reason- able that teen-agers should have money to spend so freely. How can they possibly Learn to appreciate its value—and how do the parents stand it? No wonder there is such a hue and cry for higher salaries and wages if the fortnightly cheque, or weekly pay envelope, has to provide so generously for the youngsters' spending Money. The wisdom of cutting the gar- ment to fit the cloth must surely be out of date, giving way to mod- ern methods of pulling and stretch- ing the cloth every which -way to get all the garments one desires. At the same time one cannot help feeling sorry for the kids btcause it will be hard for them to under- stand and to make adjustments when this easy -conte, easy -go pe- riod comes to an end—as come it surely will. # * * But of course the young folk are not the only offenders. I suppose we have all developed an "I want" personality to a greater or less de- gree. Beverley Baxter gave a good illustration of this last week in his address to the Canadian Club in Toronto, which no doubt some of you heard—I hope so, anyway. Comparing the difference in the present' standard of living in Eng- land and on the North American continent Mr. Baxter said— "In England necessities have be- come almost luxuries, whereas in Canada and the United States of America luxuries have become ne- cessities!" err * * Back to the subject of price de- control. From what I have gather- ed high prices a -e not expected to last very long and you will have noticed.' that most of themare things, that women have •to deal with—so,it;is up to us, isn't it la- dies? For a"while we can bake less, buy fewer Cakes and cookies, patch and darn and make -over a little longer. And if you should want proof that I practice What I preach you should just see Partner's over- alls!

One of the men was bald and a deep red scar on the right side of his face was livid in the whiteness of the light. The other man wore a brown fedora above a sharp featured face. They looked tough and ready for anything—and at the moment for mc. * * * The bald man was shuffling cards—the kind you play bridge with. He turned them face up and placed them in a line in front of him. The chisel face was rattling a pair of dice in his left hand and every so often made a move as if to throw them in my face. I was scared. "Little boys should never gamble," said the chisel' face, "never gamble at anytime, no mat- ter how good are the odds," He bent over close to me, and as I tried to move, back, I found my arms and legs securely tied to the chair on which I was sitting. "Why did you gamble, little boy?" asked Baldy, "didn't you know it was a bad thing to do?" "But I didn't mean to—" "Shut up, little boy." Chisel face reached down into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of coke. I -Ie held it in his hand, looking at it for a moment, then held it out to me. As I reached for it, he slowly pulled it back. "Bad boys should be made to sweat a little," he cracked. "You lcolc very warm under those lights and I'll bet you're thirsty. You are thirsty, aren't you, little boy?" "Yes," I replied meekly. "You're hungry too. Very hungry." Chisel face then reached down and pulled out a chicken sandwich, and began to eat, making soft raunchy sounds and putting on a face of satisfaction. "What would you like most, little boy?" asked Baldy. "I want to go home," I replied. "Ha, ha," he gargled. "Get that, Chisel, tittle boy wants to go home." # k * "You gambled today little. boy. You should never have done that. Those who gamble pay a penalty, especially those "Little Boys" who gamble. It never pays off. You know that now, don't you? You wish you'lrad never tried to make that dollar triple itself. You're sweating little boy. You're paying for your misdeeds now." Chisel then sat back on his chair and caressingly fondled his dice. He held them up to, eye level and slowly moved them forward until they moved up close again. Then he nodded to Baldy. * * * Baldy glared at me, which made me feel sick away down inside, He got up, from the table and walked arounbehind nae. Slowly he let the cards Pall over me like water from a shower. "These cards and dice belong to those who gamble," Chisel shouted at me, "they are yours to keep for- ever." "I want to get out of here. Let me go," I cried. I twisted and writhed, but the ropes held me tight in the chair. "Little boy doesn't look so smart now Chisel. He looks scared, and 11- should be. Now we'll give hint the gambler's rub down." They moved in close and untied the ropes that held me, Chisel slapped my face—hard, and then twisted my arm behind me. I kicked and lunged out. Suddenly everything went black and a new picture carne into focus, "What are you doing on the floor, son? You have your father and everyone else in the house awake." # # * I turned suddenly and there was my mother, standing in tate door- way of my bedroom. I got up off the floor feeling very foolish. "I had a—had a very bad dream." "You must have had," said my mother. "The whole house shook when you bit the floor." "I did a bad thing today mother," I confessed. "A guy told me it I gave him a dollar, he would bet it on a horse for me and 1 would get three dollars back. I dreamt that I was in a. room with two tough men and they had dice and cards. They leapt telling me little boys should never gamble — then they tried to beat me up. Gee mom, that could happen to anyone. Boy, I'll never gamble again." More Ice, Faster T h c conventional method of freezing ice is slow and expensive because of the extremely low heat conductivity of both water and ice. Now a machine has been developed that will freeze ice more than 100 times faster than present conven- tional.ntethods. A thin lay of ice is formed over a revolving core, or drum and is continuously scraped, off. The ice may be used in flake Porn! or, by simple pressure, molded into ice cubes or cakes of any de- sired size.
