They could hear the impatient striding, drawers being opened, chairs moved. They heard the man' running downstairs, then he !burst into the room. "Wlhat have you done with my blue suit, Bessie?", he demanded. Bessie' . stared at her husband; for the first time he seemed a stranger to her. She knew his short, rotund figure so well; his pale blue eyes, bald head, and weak mouth. Sure- ly this quiet, meek man, she hal married years ago, could not be leading a double life?Had he been deceiving her all these years? "We've found it," she heard her mother say. "Found it? Found what?'' Tom whirled to confront his mother-in- law, "The note. So you thought you could get away with it. ,` . But I'll not have you deceiving my poor daughter." "What are you talking about.

But you can't, fool me. I'm not':going to wiiderment. What was the next move? Bessie wondered. Tam was behaving very oddly if he was guilty. Could mother be making a mistake? They hadn't given him much chance to defend himself. , . . The hours crept by; nobody spoke, Bessie moved restlessly, and at five she asked her mother for the key. Slipping out of the room she 'made some tea. Silently, Tom drank two • cups end ate four pieces of cake, The two women talked in hushed tones, throwing glances at the man, but he ignored them. When he had finished, he leant back in his chair and calmly dozed. "You must 'have made a mistake, mother." Bessie whispered urgently. "He's behaving s,, oddly." "Nonsense. Thinks he can throw us off the scent." The clock struck six, Tom got up quickly and switched on the wire- less. Silently, they listened to the weather forecast and the news, And the racing part of it started, Tam leant forward intently. The two wo- men also listened, puzzled. "Two -thirty race at Sandown: Can -Can first, Mary -Ann second. , " Tom looked triumphantly at the women. "Now do You understand?" he de- manded. Bessie gasped: "You " were bet- ting. . . " "I• was.

BY :'ETME R CTE' EDUCA.TONIST SAYS NEW: INTEREST IN LIFE AND THOUGHT BEING CREATED, THROUGH INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE OF PROGRAMS - RADIO HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK Speaking on the activities of the Canadian Radio Commission during she course of an address made re- cently before the American. Institute of World Affairs at the University of Maine, Dr. H. L; Stewart, of Dal- housie University, ,Halifax, stated that through international exchange of "programs between Canada and the United States a new appreciation of Canadian and American life and thought is .being stimulated. "With the belief that through rad- io the life of both countries may be constantly presented, • the •C'onnmis- ston resolved to ensure that these presentations shall, exhibit each oI these' at its best," said Ds. Stewars. "For this it worked out a policy a5 selective exchange. Prior to the na- tionalizing of radio through a Com- mission, the American -programs naught up indiscriminately, by ele- vate rrvate radio sets, were of very mixed result for interinational friendship." Dr..Stewart said that pieces meant for ae purely American audience, and altogether blameless when so re- garded, caused irritation regrettable, though not nnreasonable',.,when heard in Canadian homes. What the Cana- dian Radio 'Broadcasting Commission has done is to select the finer Amer - lean programs, and thus to bring home constantly, to all Canadian listeners who have access to an in- strument, the greatest musics the most inspiring speeches, the most instruetite lectures which radio In the best equipped United States sta. tion can provide. More • and more these exchange programs, broadcast by the Commission' through Cana- dian local stations, and hence avail- able at their clearest and best on even the poorest receiving sets, have displaced others in public interest, so that a new appreciation of Amert- can life and thought is being stim- ulated, he said.

Ov- er 1,000 requests for printed copies have been received, letters of• appre- ciation from all sections of the Do- ttinion have been forwarded to the author and to the narrator, and num- erous' organizations have requested permission to reproduce it, Written by Horace Brown, of the Commission's Ottawa staff, and read by Captain Leslie Chance, "Resur-i rection" has been acclaimed by lis- teners as one of the most outstand- ing presentations of its kind ever heard.
