Timothy makes friends with a new teach- er, Susan Barney, and her young - York. When -he keeps his . alp- - pointment with Mr. Wheaton he is 'told that he has made a ' big mistake in admitting a Jewish 'boy as. a student. Timothy meets. his nephew, Canby Hunter, who gives him some suggestions about developing the Academy. Canby goes on a skiing party in bad weather. They run across an auto accident in the mountains in which Susan- was •badly .injured. He brings her to Dr. Anson Craft for ‘medical attention. The old man's face cleared. He took a long step around the table and held out his right hand. Timothy's hand clenched his, silently took the vow with him. Mr. Dewey drew a deep breath and said 'fn. a steady voice, "Yes, now is the time, T C., for all good men to stand up for their country. " But let's get ue something to eat first. I'm hollow as a dram." "You're welcome to whatever Lot- tie has left. for me at the house. Hash, iprobably." Timothy's voice sounded odd and far away. "Hash sounds all right to me." Burt Stephenson stood there by the desk, embarrassed and troubled. Then Mr. Dewey moved forward again, say- ing over ..his shoulder, "Weil.; Burt, come along with us to the Principal's house, will you?" In front of the Principal'shouse; Burt said, hesitatingly, "Say, ' Mza Hulme -well -you see I got twenty- five •cents for every news item I send in to the Ashley Record. I wonder if it would be all right. to . . . Timothy turned to Mr. Dewey. "What shall we do?" he asked. Mr. Dewey Oro -tight for a moment, and said, "My Great Uncle Zadok al- ways used to tell me, 'What's got to •be done Better be begun.' " "That's so," said Timothy, ,and went on gravely. "Burt, this is about the most serious thing that ever happen- ed to our old town. You're a Clifford boy. It's up to youas much as any- body to help do the\right thing. Had your lunch? No? Well, go on ..,in the house and telephone your grand- mother that you'll have it with us. I'll help you get your news item ready.. You'll probably •get, more than a quar- ter for it, too." Timothy found ,thedish of hash in the warming oven in the kitchen, started the coffee making, showed Burt where the knives and forks and dishes Were kept,. and ,stepped- up- stairs to. speak to Aunt Lavinia. He found her about to lie down for a nap, asked her in what he thought was .a quiet casual voice, "All right, Lavvy?" and. told her, "I just, wanted fa let you know we're back. Mr. De-w- ey's going to eat something here be- fore he goes home." But after one' look at his face, she slid off her bed, - crying, "What's happened, Tim? What has happened?" •He shook his- head, tried to smile. "Tell .you later," he said with what he intended. tobe a reassuring intonation: , "You're hiding something from me, Timothy Hulme," she cried,over the stair railing. "Somebody has died and you're not letting me know." "Mr. Wheaton has"' died, • Aunt La- vinia." Halfway down the stairs she .halt- ed, astonished, relieved, resentful. "Why, you crazy loon, that's good news," she exclaimed with -her bald disregard to conventional decencies. She sat down where she was -looking through the -! banisters at the three men below. Timothy, back at the table, told- her curtly, without stopping .his famished' chewing and swallowing. "He's left the Academy some .money on condi- tion--that=-no; -Jewis-h students__eve.r .be admitted." - "Well, wouldn't ye know the old. rascal'd think up some dir-r-rty trick as his last act, of life?" said Aunt La- vinia conversationally.. She was struck by the troubje in .,the faces be- low her. "You're never thinking of taking it!" she cried. Aunt Lavinia stood by the table, putting back the strings of -her white hair to . peer into his face. "Tim, dear lad . . ." her voice was gentle and serious as he' had not heard it: in yearu. i• "Yes, Aunt Lavinia?" ` "Because you have . an old woman hanging around your neck like a Mill- stone you're not going to be less than you were -brought up to he? Tim, I'd starve rather than stand in your way now," Ile Was pleased with • her, kissed ter cheek lightly, told- her with a smile, ' "You'll be allowed: ,to starve, Lavvy dear, When I do." "Then , yusu'•Il .resign? Oh,.• Tim! Good foto. you!" - "R-eeign' fait, ark! g'niiig to resign! What. makes yen think ere going to tape this' lying doWiv? 'We'le .going. 40° put our heads together .'ills VS/Ay afternoon. Burt, what classes have - you?" - "Only a lab period Er-om: two.rto four, bu:t see' here, Professor Hul'nne, You .don't mean you're ,, .?" "You're excused Prom lab this af- ternoon for more important business," said Timothy: Someone was •calling to him. Above the babble of talk on 'the stairs Aunt Lavinia's voice rose, shouting, "Tim- othy! Canby,:,s here. I've told him. He wants- to know can he -come up, too?" "Oh, yes," said Timothy. "Sure, if he wants to." ' Aunt Lavinia's small capacity to give attention to matters of literal fact had 'been used up. But Canby said, "You don't think for one holy second, Uncle 'Tire, that you can find any body in this town who'd vote not' to take that money?" "Hasn't it ever happened; Canby, in the history of. the world that people, have put their principles before-" "On, Uncle Tim, 'be yourself!" "Professor Hulme, may I ask one question?" "I should say so, Burt! This -is your party lots more than it is ours." "Why, we don't hardly ever have any Jews as students, see? Just Jules, and those . Hemmerling bays, and Rosie Steinberg, this year. Why couldn't they go- somewhere else to school?, Good gosh, Professor Hulme, it'd be cheaper to pay their expenses up in Ashley at the high school and get all that money for the 'cademy!" Mr. Dewey now said with wrath, "Are we a-goin' -to be told. 'how to rut our business in our own town by somebody ----that didn't even vote in Clifford -just because he's. rich? I'd fight takin' his money if he laid down the law to us this way about any- thing." "Listen, Burt." Timothy, waited till the boy looked up at him. "If we don't take this money it'll mean that when we're old folks we can look back on our lives and think that we had a chance to prove whether we meant anything when we claimed. to be free Americans, or whether it was just talk." The trained instinct of the experi- enced teacher .told Timothy that this was enough. He looked at his watch, said, "Let's get 'at your ne-krs item." The bugle sent its blare down the hill to .Clifford and its people, up the mountain to •the pineand the spruces as for the last hundred •and eighteen -years. -Dat- it --did not- galvanize info startled •speed any laggard -s loitering on their way to• assembly. Every stu- dent was there ahead of time, and grown-ups too, both `men and women, sitting upstairs:.rin the . gallery, down- stairs at the 'back on the bare straightbacked benches where , they found some of their youth still left, standing in the 'doorWays and along the hall. The Ashley Record was dis- tributed in Clifford by half past sev- en in the morning' and it,was now half past eight, thirty-six hurs after Mr.' Wheaton's spirit had 'departed from the heavy old body so carefully tended by his masseur. • Ever since the arrival of the news- paper the closely woven network of telephone wires had been humming stormily in . a . tempest of exclama- tions, questions and surmises. `Now they sat and stood in the as-, sembly room, a greater crowdthan had ever come, even to a commence- ment, looking up at the words of America written large in Professor Hulme's square handwriting on the blackboard at the back of the stage, at Professor Hulme standing by the piano, the harsh sonority of his voice carrying his words to the farthest ranks. of those standing in the hall, "Our old town and our old school have suddenly been called out from the quiet and peace .where they've lived so long, to answer a question of life and death importance to those who believe in the American principle of equal opportunity.foe all, and safe- ty for minorities. The future of -our town and. of our school depends on the answer we will make at the elec- tiq. of the, new . trustee two months from now. But before we begin to lay, the matter 'before you,- I think we would do well to sing our nation- al hymn." ' He sat down at the piano, he sang the. first verse with the others, "My country, 'tks of thee, Sw.eet land .of. liberty. Of thee I sing." From verse to verse, the . music swelled like a rising tide of rhythm on which everyone ,tbere-would he or would he not -was swept for -Ward. When tliey came to the last verse, "Long may our land be bright With freedom's • holy light! Protect -us by thy ,might, Great God, our king. A -men," sang the men, the women, the boys - and girls of Clifford, slowly, drawing in deep breaths. between the lines, and remained standing for an instant to let the tide of music subside.' Those who had seats- sat down rtist- lingly. T1:riiothy rose, went to the front of the platform and stood, leek - ring ed. thoughtfully, over the etpeet- ani! fades. "Perhaps the best ,place to 'begin;' said Tiblet"h3, "Ili at ;the beginning, ,r, lit gee.yeeeg ago • ogee. ,:w3iep we eleeted Mal; Wheaton as trua'tee" of the Academy I'm afraid we all. just thought that if we_eleoted 'a . rick}, Man as one of the :trustees, we could: get some money out of him. • Azad using -our votes that way, the wrong way, has brought on us a great temptation to do wrong again, this time a wrong we could never set right. Here are the terms of the bequest." He read aloud slowly then, with pauses- between the sentences, the let- ter from Wheaton's lawyer, "We are offered one million for endowment and two 'hundred thousand for build- ings, on three conditions: one" -he drew -a long breath -"that the Acad-, emy bind itself never to admit to its•. classes or to give any education to -di Jewish student, the word Jewish bei: ing defined as applying to a person with any relatives- with Jewish blood." He stopped to breathe again, and to straighten his pince-nez. "Two, that the name be changed to the George Wheaton Preparatory School." He laid the emphasis on the word prepara- tory. "Three, that the tuition fee for day students be raised to not less than $250 a year, but, so the clause in the will reads, 'alwayls making gen- erous provision for scholarships for needy Clifford youth; • and the fee for boarding students to not less than one thousand dollars a year." After letting this sink in, he added more rapidly, "A quarter of a million more either for buildings or endowment is offered if girls are excluded from the student body but this is not made a condition for obtaining the -bequest. "l think how," said Timothy, put- ting the letter into his coat pocket, and speaking in -a level' voice, "that probably this will had been drawn in December, when I last saw Mr. Whea- ton in 'New York. But of course I had no idea of it then, and I could not understand some things Mr. Wheaton. said about the Academy budget. He objected to the salaries of the teach- ers of Domestic Science, arid, of Agri- culure and 11tnual Training because those subjects are not part 'of prepar- ation for college. He told me, he thought that if the Academy would concentrate on those who have money enough ''to attend college, we would have what he called 'a much better class of students, •meaning by that, I understood; . student's 'from families with More money. This, I stppose, explains his wish to have the name changed, not only, yoeel notice, to have his own name part -of it, but to have the Academy called a prepara- tory school. He spoke on that same day, as he had several times before of his wish to exclude girls; giving it as his opinion that we 'could never in- duce gentlemen's sons to come here as students as long as they were obliged to associate with girls in classes." He brought this out in the same . fact -stating neutral voice he was using .for the rest of his. explana- tion. • (Continued Next Week) Coloured - Gasoline The problems relating to the sale of markeed- gasoline and refund of the Ontario Gasoline Tax thereon,' have been under • investigation by the De- partment of Highways of the. Prove ince of Ontario for some time. Num- erous requests have been received for some change in the present system of refunding the Ontario gasoline. tax. After studying the situation in all its aspects, the Province has now de- cided to allow the sale of marked gasoline (i.e. gasoline marked purple in accordance' with the orders of the Oil Controller of Canada) free from the Ontario gasoline tax to farmers, licensed commercial fishermen, licens- ed guides and licensed or other bona fide tourist outfitters, commencing July 1, 1943. The new system will 0lminate the necessity of submitting claims for re- fund of the tax, as the Ontario Gaso- line Tax will now be exempted at the time of purchase, on presentation by the purchaser Rf his purchase permit and a properly completed and signed "ex'enlption statement." Purchase permits and exemption statements will be found together in book form 'and mailed directly to the purchaser from' the Department, on approval of his application,- - T4 dpurcheser should secure his "Application For Purchase Permit" from his retail dealer in marked gaso- line, any Division Office of the De- partment of Highways .or the Gaso- line Tax Branch of the Department of Highways at • Toronto. It is anticipated that if the co-ap= eration of sellers and purchasers is received that this new procedure will be of considerable benet to the per- sons involved., HOME: ACCIDENTS Accidents at home can be prevent- ed vpiith a little, foresight.

A sealer should never be opened af- ter sterilizing, unless it is found to leak. Screw-top sealers are tighten- ed and spring -top sealers clamped down immediately after processing and the sealers are then inverted for a few minutes to test for leakage. ,'• "ef a leak'is found, the sealer should be opened and the glass lid- and the :rim examined for cracks or chips. If there is no fault in the sealer, replace 1.0}e rubber ring with a new- one, par- tially seal and resterilifle, allowing one-quarter the original processing time. If the sealer is found to be faulty, it is -'better to use the contents im- mediately, as otherwise they would have to be repacked in. another jar and re -processed for the full length of time,. This would .result in overcook- ing and an unattractive .product. e. In The Victory Garden Most gardeners have an exaggerat- ed dread of insects. They feel that the number of insects is 'legion and, their plants are never secure from attack, day or night, frona seed time, to harvest. In reality this is far from being a fact. In the average vegetable gar- den, there are only a few species Which constitute a definite- menace and these insects attack only certain crops and are present for only short periods of time. Cutworms are the most persistent and insidious. They attack almost all crops. The Colorado potato beetle is another annual and destructive visi- tor. In most years, although not all, the cabbage maggot takes a fairly large toll, attacking cabbages, caul: - flower and radishes. Its near relative, the onion maggot, is usually an evil- doer but fortunately confines its at- tention to onions. In. late summer. damage by the imported cabbage, worm may also be expected. These are the entomological bad boys- rn most gardens. Victory gardeners should learn to recognize the work of the insect pests and check' them on sight ,by approved methods of ,control. • • o: proOSn'' th s 101>hid ti%rpu add.. lbs, of i 2 ;of a}1?Pl common salt, 't'he ;a tum ni3.,;1 having preFlr:4ly lyeelu drag hot . wartei': (), Slake ane hair bllsiidl 0'1* p.

More accurately, by handling and ex- amining it. Its 'iappearance, its texture, the "feel" and the balance of it , all means something to their trained eyes and fingers. • But no one person can be an expert on steel, brass, wood, leather, foodstuffs, fabrics, and. all of the materials that make up a list of personal purchases. And even ex- perts are fooled, sometimes, by concealed flaws and im- perfections. . • There is a surer index of value than the senses of sight and touch . knowledge of the maker's name and for what it stands. Here is the most certain method, ex- cept that of actual use, for judging the value of any manu- factur'ed goods. Here is the, only guarantee against care. less workmanship, or the use 'of shoddy materials. • This is one important reason why it pays to read ad- vertisements and to buy advertised goods.
