It is still possible in this world to change from a condition where some are poor and some are rich to a condition where all are poor. If we destroy the profit motive, is there anything which could be put in its place except compul- sion? That is the condition in Russia. The law there is, if you do not work, neither will you eat. Similar provision would have to be made in this country. Under a controlled economy, personal freedom cannot survive. "A five day week, six hours a day and two weeks holidays with pay, while retaining the present rate of wages, would eliminate unemployment." National income, including the income of those in receipt of sal- aries and wages, depends upon production. This suggestion means a reduction in thk. total national income—also a sharp increase in rates of pay. How, out of a re- duced national income, can we afford to increase the earnings of the workers and at the same time give employment to more? I leave the question with you. Who has the answer? There is no such thing as holi- days with. pay. If all the people of Canada took two weeks holi- days, each year, there would be a smaller total volume of produc- tion; again, out of a smaller total there could not be a -higher total wage and salary payments. The proposal would end 12- a decrease in the volume of employment. I am not opposing holidays for workers but they must be paid for by somebody and in the long run they will. Troops In Italy Buy Victory Bonds Canadians in Italy, given a $1,000,000 objective in their country's Fifth Victory Loan, bought 16,300 bonds worth 31,-, 210,600 from October 25 to No- vembel.• 6, it was announced last week. Acres of posters and other advertising helped put the loan across. Signs told the troops— "Bonds buy bullets—bonds buy victory—a bond is a ticket home." A wrecked jeep hung from a crane at a cross-roads, bearing a sign saying bonds would buy a new one. A personal message from the commander at the start of the campaign asked the men to con- sider the advantages of the loan, particularly when the time for individual post-war re-establish- ment came. Officers and troops got into the spirit of the cam- paign and units and higher for- mations vied with one another for the highest totals. This was scored by gunners of a light anti-aircraft unit who subscribed $101,000 and, with gunners in anti-tank and field artillery regiments sub- scribed $267,000. Headquarters personnel, includ- ing senior officers, subscribed $28,000. A busy little mobile bath unit was represented with a total of $700 while tanknien reached $178,000. French-speaking tro,ops sub- scribed $65,000 more than any other infantry unit. . Sweden is using a meat sub- stitute consisting of dry yeast made from cellulose.

Curran, the foreman, promises him a job if he can break a horse called, Black Dawn. Dave succeeds, only to discover that Curran expected the horse to kill him. A girl' named Lois rides up just as Dave bas hit Curran, She is angry with Dave for breaking "her" horse. She rides off on Black Dawn, and Dave follows, DAWN you, Dave, there oomes a time in every man's life when he doesn't want to go on living any more, A. pest,that's what Lonergan called me.

Later, in a bar, Dave pays off a mortgage for an old man named Hooker, who offers him a part- nership. They go to Hooker's ranch where Dave finds that Lois is Hooker's daughter. Lois, still angry, leaves and has not re- turned when Hooker awakes several hours later. "I dreamed my wife came to me and said my troubles would soon be over," Hooker muttered. "I tell can see when a man's to be trust- ed and when he's not. Get her away from here. But there's some- thing I've got to tell 'you, Dave. I've got the feeling that my time's short—" "Steady, old-timer," Dave inter- rupted. "You're just remembering that dream of yores. Dreams don't niean nothing. Of course you can trust me, but don't tell me noth- ing now that you might be sorry for later." "It's not that, Dave.

The sheepskin coat he is trying on will go to the Royal Navy, Although clothing is the formost problem of civilians, there is plenty for the military forces. Britain's No. 1 home -front wor- ry today is the clothing shortage. Worry No, 2 is contacting relatives abroad—in the Services and in enemy -occupied territories. Wor- ry No, 3 is about service condi - tams and pay. Worry No. 4 covers family troubles. These have developed during four years of war. Back hi 1939 chief headaches were: 1. Evacuation billets. 2. Con- scription problems. 3. Unemploy- ment. 4. Money. As the war has proceeded, of- ficials running England's Citizens' Advice Bureaus have discovered that people's troubles in many in- stances have been 'completely re- versed. And they should know. In the four years since the war atarted, 7,500,000 citizens have taken their troubles to the CAM. The first bureaus opened their doors barely one week after Eng- land declared war on Germany. There were less than a dozen of them scattered through the British Isles. Today 1060 bureaus aro op- erating. The first year the CAB. handled 1,000,000 Worries, In the second year the figure jumped to 1,750,000, thee to 2,225,000 for the third year, reaching an imposing total of 2500,000 in the fourth. Since 1939, Millions of workers' concern has switched from the bogey of unemployment to exces- sive demands for their labor. Again, well into 1040, landlords had vacant houses, sometimes even entire blocks of apartments on *their hands. Today, unfurnished houses and apartments are practi- cally unobtainable. Rents of fur- nished places are from 100 to 150 per cent higher, and there is wholesale profiteering all along the line, Concern about missing relatives started with Dunkirk and now the bureaus are beset by anxious fam- ilies to get news of next-of-kin in the Near and Far East, and right now, of men who have been made prisoners in Italy. Within the last few months the Citizens' Advice Bureaus have been training people for post-war welfare work, which includes the tracing of relatives as well as solv- ing the new kinds of problems which will come with the return Of inert and women in the services to civilian. life. been slowly putting two and two together since Lottergan offered me and my wife this mesa—ranch, be called it—ort condition we'd bring up Lois as our daughter and never let her know. I thought she was a natural child of lale. But he' not. not. "She touud out I wasn't her dad almost at once, and that my wife wasn't bei' mother, You see, she's got a locket with her mother's pho- tograph in it, which we didn't know about. Lois was just old en- ough to remember her 'when we took her from the orphanage. "Well, I've been trying to piece things together, why Lonergan wanted me and my wife to bring Lois here, and why Wilbur Ferris is afraid of him. It all. goes back to the time when Ferris and Blane Rowland went into partnership in the valley, some fifteen or sixteen years ago. 'Those were prosperous times, and the Cross -Bar was doing well. Rowland and Ferris were both steady, quiet fellows, and. Ferris had brought Rowland West to in- vest his capital in the Cross -Bar. Then Rowland forged Ferris' name to a joint check for about twenty thousand dollars, on' the bank in Hampton, which was to be used for buying stock in Mexico, and skip- ped the country. "I dunno how Lonergan came into the picture. Maybe there was some crooked work all around, but he's got Wilbur Ferris 'where he wants him now. He's got a mort- gage on the Cross -Bar, and he put Curran in to run things the way he wants them." * • 4. "How d'you come to meet up with Lonergan, if it ain't an im- pertinent question?" asked Dave. "Why, I—well, I'd done some- thing I shouldn't have done, and I'd come West. Lonergan was act- ing -sheriff in Mescal at the time, and he recognized me from the description and photograph when. I hit Mescal, supposing that it had all been forgotten. It was some- thing I did when I'd been drinking and got desperate. But I couldn't have been all Lonergan says I am, because my *wife stuck to me till she died. "Well, Dave, I had to do what Lonergan said, or face a term in the penitentiary. You're the first man I've told that to. So there was 1, with my wanderings cut short, and anchored to this place, with my wife and the girl." "Just what was Lonergan's idea, d'you s'pose?" asked Dave. "That's what I'm slowly figuring out, Dave," Hooker answered. "And 1 don't know either why he tried to put me off this mesa, when I'd never paid a, cent to him all these twelve years, unless it was because X threatened him when I'd been drinking, Maybe I'm just an old pest, like Lonergan says, but Inn on the trail of something, and I've got my own suspicions." * * * 'That cunning look was in old Hooker's eyes again. He reached out for the bottle. Dave interven- ed, "I guess you've had enough to sober up on. pardner," he suggest- ed. "Why don't you go to sleep now and take one more drink when you wake up. That will set you plumb to rights." "Must have one more," pleaded Hooker. "Then I'll have a good sleep, and wake up feeling fine. I won't want another drink after that. I'm through withliquor for life. It's just the—the loneliness, Dave." He drained the bottle and hand. - ed It to Dave. "Well, that's the last of it," he leered, "so you won't need to a-orry partner. Throw that bottle away somewhere where Lois won't find it, or she'll give me the devil. You've promised me you'll look out for her if anything hap- pens to me. And now I'm going to tell you something I've suspected— something that's going to solve the mystery—" The sentence was cut off abrupt- ly by the roar of a six-gun. Smoke and the acrid stench of powder tilled the roorn. Hooker slipped back upon his pillow, the sentence 'uncompleted, and lay still. Dave saw a little blue spot on his left temple, from which a stream of blood was trickling. (Continued Next Week) TABLE TALKS By BETTY BARCLAY All The Lemon Pies You Want!
