federal officials have been sit-

It is by now virtually certain
that instead of a ,$'12,000,000 Stir-
plus, Finance Minister Fleming
will produce his fourth budget
deficit in a year by the end of
the fiscal year.
If Quebec Premier Jean Le-
sage goes ahead with his plans
to introduce .a hospital insurance
scheme in January, that alone
would wipe out the surplus as a
result of an additional cost being
placed on the federal treasury
of $15,000,000. The verious
schemes •adopted by the Govern-
.ment to combat unemployment,
combined with falling revenues
as a result of the failure of the
economy to climb by the fore-
cast six per cent, are almost cer-
tain to add to the deficit.
The Government's recent con-
cern over unemployment has not
been prompted solely by the
gloomy forecasts it has been re-
ceiving from its economists, An-
other factor has been its sharply
declining popularity - and the
awareness it must take some de-
cisive action if it is not to be de-
feated at the polls in the next
election.
The election of the Liberal
Government in Quebec came as
a crushing blow to the Conserv-
atives, who counted heavily on
the Union Nationale for support.
The defeat of the Conservative
Government in New Brunswick
was staggering to Prime Minister
Diefenbaker and his colleagues,
since it was so totally unexpect-
ed,
On top of this bad news came
a report that augered even less
well — the Gallup Poll for June.
This showed the Conservative
support across the country slip-
ping badly to 42 per "Cent. From
the 22 percentage points that had
divided the Conservatives from
the Liberals in July, 1958, the
margin had now been reduced
to two points.

Federal'Government ran into

Strangely enough, Mr. Diefen-
baker faced the most trouble
from his one-time friend, Pre-

who had played an Important

eral Conservative Government

About The Coming
Grouse Season.
South of No, 17 highway there
is an eight-week season, Sep-
tember 24th to the 19th of No-
vember is the open season here,
South of a line drawn along
the north boundary of Freeman
Township to and along No, 69
highway to highway No, 12 and
along the highway through the
townships of Rama, Mara, Thor-
ah, Buck and Reach, in Ontario
County.
The line then extends along
the north boundaries of Whitby,
East 'Whitby, Darlington and
Clarke Townships. The season
here lasts for only seven weeks
from October 1st. to November
19th. Bag limits in these areas
are five grouse per day with the
possession limit of 20 birds.
With the advent of the rnuskie
and bass season there are bound
to be some very large fish
caught, specially rnuskies. Who
knows, it may be you who will
be the lucky one. If this did
happen to you and you had no
scales you would quite properly
feel frustrated.
In my notebook I have kept
a formula to get me out of this
problem. It is surprisingly ac-
curate. It looks like this: W
equals 1,G2 over 800. W is the
weight in pounds. L is the length
in inches. G is the girth of the
fish in inches. Just suppose that
you were lucky to latch onto a
trout or bass 2Q inches =long
with a 10 inch girth, It 'would
weigh as follows (G) girth
squared would be 100 inches
multiplied by (L) length would
give you 2,000. Divide this by
800 and you Will get (WI weight

"Hello — thought you'd never

greeted me, and. went on paint-

the drink down without touching

Simon turned, "You're quiet,
and worried. Case getting you

I nodded. "Yes — 'and no. ,At
least I think I know who killed
Charles , . Hindle."
"I looked for a sign, but Simon,

ed himself what was it —
Fothergill?"
"He didn't," I said flatly. "His
murderer did that,"

girl."

"Yes — someone you ,know

He shrugged, and smiled. "Se?
Perhaps I did paint her. I paint
many people."
I went on, heavily, "The
game's up, Simon. Stop play-act-
ing. I know you killed Hindle. I
think I know how and why you
killed him."
Ire sat down, pouted a large
drink and swallowed it, He was
sweating now and his eyes were
glazed.
"Hindle took the girl. You kill-

Something about the whole set-
up seemed weetig — more than
filet — ludicrous, The man who
had called himself Charles Foth-
oral bad been murdered .ap-
parently in the last half-hour or
so. But my mind was filled with
doubts.
From experience, J knew how
difficult it was to estimate. ac- '
curetely how long .a man has
been dead. But I had a feeling
this man had been dead ',for much
longer than half-an-hour. Yet he
had 'phoned me a little over'half-
atehour ago,
The receiver in the 'phone box
was dangling on its wire n which
suggested the man had been tele-
phoning, And -- 'if I .could pew
Have what ,saw, he had been ,
stabbed inside the box.
My trouble is I have a neat
sort of mind. And there was noth-
ing neat about this case. Hew
had the killer managed to •get
into the box to stab his victim?
How had he found room to de-
liver the death blow?
For all the .attention it had at-
tracted, the murder might have
taken place in the middle of a
desert — except they don't .have
fogs there. The street .eorner,
normally quiet, was deserted,
"Do you know him?" I asked
Simon.
He evinced some surprise. "No
— should I?"
I .explained exactly what had
happened. Simon looked con-
cerned. "I can't imagine why he
'phoned me. He's a complete
stranger to me. Of course, people
get to know of my work. Perhaps
he was a prospective customer;"
I used the kiosk 'phone to re-
port to my department, wearing
gloves and handling the instru-
ment carefully so as to leave 'no
prints. My chief ordered me to
take charge.
I replaced the 'phone and turn-
ed to Simon, "Mind if we try an
experiment?" I suggested,
"Go ahead — anything I can
do . , ."
Simon entered the box and I
squeezed in beside him. A's I'd
expected, -it was a job for two
men as hu,sky as Simon and my-
self. The dead man was a big
fellow, too. But it could 'have
been done . . . just about.
And that was presupposing the
dead man wente into the kiosk
with someone he knew and didn't
suspect.-
I saw nothing of Simon for the
next week:, My inquiries found
nothing but dead-ends at first.
There were no prints in the
booth — except for the usual
hotch-potch one would expect to
find.
There was nothing on the body
to'identify him, not even a tag
on his clothes. I instituted the
usual routine inquiries and put
in some pretty solid foot-slog-
ging, Still nothing turned up.
The inquest was adjourned and
I took the unusual step of issuing
a picture of the dead man and a
description, appealing for 'infor-
mation.
On the fourth day I got my
first lead — and I didn't like
where it led. A young woman
offered to identify the body.
When I saw her something click-
ed. She seemed familiar — yet I
knew we had never met before.
She cried a little at the morgue.
"I know him," she sobbed, "I
was afraid something terrible
had happened: He's been missing
for days."
"Then why didn't you report
it? Who is he?"
"His , name is . . was . . ,
Charles Hindle."
We took her address and let
her go. The information was alt
I needed to get my teeth into the
case. By the fifth day I was
sure — but hadn't the proof, I

my facts before I went to see

I experienced an inner satis,

was something to do with the
fact that my working life was so
different — the complete oppo-
eite of Simon's unregulated ex-

Maybe I was pandering to
some hidden inhibitions, I don't
know. But I liked his company
— and he seemed to like having
me around.
It was a cold February after-
noon. What with the fog that
hadn't shifted :for two days, and
the icy Conditions underfoot, I
was more glad of his brightly lit

The voice at the other end
was unfamiliar. "Is Simon there,

The words were choked off.
Not gradually as they might
when a man has a sudden fit of
coughing, but suddenly. I put
down my drink and jerked up-
