"It was all planned. 1 got my- self captured by the British and was shipped to England. My owl chiefs had been praying for just such a chance as was given to us then—my knowledge of German, Heidelberg, even the saber cut. Sa- pristi! It was if made to order. They put me next to Manfred Kelil. I stayed next to him all the way to Canada. Together we engineered the escape. Philib- ert was the nearest place we could gat a car. The only time I weak- ened was when I knew I had to come here. I hated that, Tante Mints. You will never kltow how much I loathed it.

His cheeks grew red. There was nothing now of Obei•lieuten- ant Faber; he was only a boy whose cherished secret is found out. "All these explanations, he mumbled. "A lot of damned rot. I planned to write to you or— or see you later" "Captain Faber," Madame grin- ned at him slyly. "You wouldn't try to fool your aunt, would you?" Michel smiled resignedly.

The Boozr5heEIf.n. So Well Remembered By JAMES HILTON This novel, the first in four and a half years by the author of Goodbye Mr, Chips and Random Harvest, is -tile story of a plain elan of our times. His world was iutt fit for heroes to live in, yet plain men often had to become heroes in it, and George Boswell was just such a man. His mitis - takes, his idealism, his human frail- ties, his courage, his warns affee- 't'iuns and his never -failing humor make him one of thcThiost appeal- ing characters Mr. Ililton has drawn. So well remembered is also the story of a remarkable woman and her sinister influence over three men, of clashing wills, and a struggle for mastery that spans a generation and is fought to a bitter end. - Livia. was George Boswell's young wife, and that day so well re- membered was the day on which Councillor Boswell, later to become Mayor Boswell, had the immense satisfaction of laying the founda- tion stone of the nese housing unit that replaced sonic of Browdley's worse slums. That day was also the turning point in George's life, the day when he had to face the truth about Livia. The period of the novel Is both before and during the Second World War; tilie scene is chiefly a small industrial town in the 11rf islt Midlands. So Well Remembered . , By James Hilton , ..

Apropos of that it looks as if the old problem of daylight saving time versus standard time is rear- ing its head again, some people wanting one time, some another, with yet another group absolutely bewildered, unable to make up Its mind what it wants or even which time is better for the common good, Farmers, generally speaking, prefer standard time. Farmers cannot pick and choose the hours at which their work—especially field work—shall be done. Hay and grain cannot be taken off the field while there is a heavy dew, and with daylight saving time it is often well on into the forenoon before hay and grain can be drawn in. Taws the farmer is out of pock- et because he Is losing valuable tine. Time which he cannot make up at the end of the clay because he has to consider his hired help there may be a shote, a dance or a ball game in the offing, and there are very few farmers who asic, or expect, their help to work overtime, * * * Despite Its inconvenience to farmers there has been very little * * * A few weeks ago a certaln bus- iness man had occasion to drive through the country at six am, He ' said afterwards—"I thought farm- ers were early risers—when I was out this morning I didn't sea a sigh of life anywhere." Well, Mr. Business Man, your farmers were either out at the barn milking or just roiling out of bed ready for the day's work. They certainly wouldn't be out in the field at six a.m,—not In harvest time with daylight saving time in force. - By Gwendoline - P. Clarke O * 8 . grumbling—that is, ,since fast time was made compulsory across the entire Dominion. It has been look- ed upon as a war time measure and thus accepted But with Fed- eral restrictions lifted it will be another story. The farmer feels the importance of his work should be taken into consideration. But will it be? How many small towns, which are the centreoffarming communities, will vote in favour of standard time ;all the year round? Very few I imagine, al- though to vote otherwise is very short-sighted policy. I ask you— how long would the small tows business man stay on his feet if it were not for his country custom? Ask any one of them and he will tell you the farmer is his best customer- And isn't it one of the principles of good business to cat - er to the buying public? Wouldn't. it therefore be in order if the businessmen of small-town corn- munities got together, went to their council and said -"Look here, the war is over, Federal re- strictions have been removed and we want standard time: We are. out to get all the trade we can and If fast time is bad for the farmers, then it is bad for us and bad for our business," * * * Well, well—I was almost foe getting my most important piece of news.
