ISSUE 24--1944 "Warriors of the Sky" Gratefully dedicated to the flying warriors of the United- Nations. Fain would I write of brave men-men who fly, A'nd bear the brunt of wars most Who throw themselves between us And add a priceless lustre to Would that I had full ample words to wield And in some mighty ballad thus The praise of these knight er«ints of the sky And build a lasting tribute to their name. These noble, gallant heroes -- men who fly -- WTith smile upon their lips and That you and I may live to And build a world, that they may These men, who on the threshold of full life, For home and loved ones risk their very all, That peace and justice may forever reign And all we hold most sacred may not fall. As wild geese do they fly through starlit night In arrow shape, that forms a Victory "V" Or, glide like seagulls on unerring wing In one unceasing watch o'er land and sea. They rise these valiant warriors of the sky, Into the verv screaming jaws of hell Unheeding, bare their breast to meet the fire And ne'er return until they cry, "All's well". They do not question as they soar on high But, of their very best most freely give, That all that's true and noble still And universal brotherhood may live. -- T. B. Gleave. Fruit Trees Come Through Winter Well With very little damage done to trees by the Winter weather, prospects for the 1944 fruit crop at the moment look very promising, according to E. F. Palmer, Director of the Horticultural Experimental Farm at Vineland. In an interview, Mr. Palmer stated that the orchards had come through the winter very well and that the budding on the trees was particularly heavy. With reference to the peach crop prospects, Mr. Palmer said that there was a very heavy budding, to such an extent that some thinning out might be necessary. He pointed out that, as a result of the very unfavourable weather of a year ago, the peach orchards had suffered considerable permanent damage and that about 20% of the trees had been killed in the Niagara Peninsula. Growers were finding great difficulty in securing stocks of young peach trees to replace those killed and it would take at least four or five years to make good the losses buffered last year. \\ ith continued favourable weather conditions however, he was confident that the peach crop would be much better than in 1943, when it was only 26% of a normal crop. Other fruits have also wintered well and budding is considered satisfactory. Prospects For 1944 Apple Crop Good In the Georgian Bay apple growing area the growers are looking forward to another good year. Last year's crop was exceptionally heavy and there had been some fears that this year there would be considerable decline. The budding of apple dicates that another good crop is in sight if the weather remains favourable. G. F. Mitchell, of Clarksburg, one of the largest growers and packers of apples, stated that the budding is far beyond expectations and that if a satisfactory set of fruit results, the crop may be up to last year's standard. • SERIAL STORY Murder on the Boardwalk BY ELINORE COWAN STONE Last week: Police, investigating the murder in Christine's booth, detain her for questioning. The victim had been drugged, killed with a dagger. Bill identifies the murdered woman as Mrs. Emma Talbert, Christine's cousin! CHAPTER VII For a moment Christine hardly heard what was being said. For that moment she stood, isolated by shock, torn by a pang of affection she had never before known she felt for the formally kind, but painfully j repressed woman she remembered as Cousin Emma, but had never really. Oh, Cousin Emma! she thought. I don't believe you were ever very happy. ... I might have been much When ^he came back lo her surroundings, the inspector was asking the doorman, "Have you noticed anything unusual around here in the last two hours?" "Well"--the doorman hesitated --"about half after 11 I did see this young lady"--regretfully he indicated Christine--"come along and stop right here; then her boy friend the beach, and tffey hurry off together. . . . But first, she takes him under the Twentieth Century lights and--kind of looks him over." Christine flinched as she thought of that moment while she and Bill stood there, laughing and talking --with Cousin Emma perhaps al-teady lying there--like that-- a few "Looks him over?" the inspector snapped. "What do you mean?" "I know what he means," the waitress stopped snapping her gum long enough to put in. "I seen tHem, too; and he was dripping Why, Christine remembered with an unpleasant start, Bill had been wet. . . . He had said-- "Say--lookit!" The newsboy, who had been staring at Bill, pointed a grimy forefinger. "I see him before all right. I sold all my tomorrow morning's papers by 10:30; and I was out along the Boardwalk. And I seen him in a parked car. He was leanin' out, as if he was wait-in' for something." The inspector turned to Bill. "What's your name?" he demanded. "William Yardley.' "Oh, yes--run the riding school, knew Mrs. Talbert?" "I did." The inspector took a small dark object from his pocket. "Recognize this?" he asked. "I ought to," Bill said after a brief inspection. "It's my key holder." "I wonder if you'd be interested to know where it was found?" "I should, rather." Bill looked faintly sheepish. "I hadn't even missed it. Lucky it had my name The inspector surveyed him for a moment; then he cooly reclaimed the keys and said, "It was found on the beach near a rowboat that hadn't any business to be where it was. That boat may have some connection witfi Mrs. Talbert's death." "I saw that boat. I bad a little run-in with a fellow right about there earlier in the evening." "You'd better explain." "Nothing to explain." Bill looked as if he could have kicked himself for speaking. "I was doing my best to pin his ears back, but he showed more speed than I looked for." "If you don't mind," Bill said pleasantly, "we won't go into that any further at present. . . . However, .here he comes now. Perhaps, he'll want to tell you all about it-- but I don't think so." Two uniformed men pushed into the booth, holding between them a disreputable object in rubber wad-irigj&eots. Aside from-the boots, he wctc a soiled pair of flannel trous-I ers, a tattered shirt) and a greasy found down by the boat, Inspector," one of the men said. "He made a break for it, and we had to chase him half way to Key West." in'tere'st.^She "had-seen several men the backwash of low tide that .....-o.ing, poling with long sticks in the sand--occasionally Hooping to pick something up and examine it. When she had asked Mr. Wilmet if they were fishing, he had replied, "Well--in a way. They're beachcombers. Often they find coins, and sometimes even jewelry." Evidently Bill had not confined his efforts to the pinning back of ears. One of the man's eyes was almost closed. . . . Yet Christine looked at him in unbelieving recognition, and found him staring at her with a kind of dismayed plead- The inspector glanced' sharply from one to the other of them and demanded, "Ever seen this man before, Miss?" Christine hesitated. . . Of course it couldn't be--yet it was. In spite of his generally disreputable appearance, the man in boots was unmistakably Cousin Emma's irreproachable butler, Jaspar. . . . She put out a hand to steady herself against the wall of the booth. At the point where her hand rested, the concrete was badly cracked. A fragment moved under her fingers. ... At least, she took it for a fragment of the wall until she realized that it was smooth to her touch--as satiny smooth as silver that had been polished. Afterwards, she remembered thinking that--neatly as it was fitted into the crevice between the blocks of concrete, no one could havjr hoped to hide a dagger there for Jong--even such a slender one. «Sfe_heard herself saying in a small ithin voice, "I--think I've foultd something. Inspector." Then at sight of the stain on the blade, she cried out and flung the weapon clattering to the floor. A man gathered it up in. a clean handkerchief ^as tenderly as if it had been a new-born babe, "I'll look this over, Chief," he said. "Although I doubt if there are any finger-prints left." "There'll be mine," Christine said The inspector treated her to a brief, sardonic grin. "Why, so there will!" he. agreed. "So it was just as easy as that. . . . Maybe you boys had better have another look around before this young lady finds the murderer under a piece of seaweed, with a signed confession under his arm neatly tied up in pink ribbon." He swung from his subordinates to the others. "I think," he shot at' them, "that we'll run over to my office to finish this session--you and you and you and you, I mean." He indicated Christine, Bill, Mr. Wilmet, and the desreputahle object who couldn't believably be Cousin Emma's im-maculte Jaspar, and yet who was. MAKE THAT DARN INVISIBLE When the hole is large avoid stretching or puckering. Tack a piece of net or veiling over the hole and.use it as a foundation for darning. This also strengthens the darn. 1. Begin darning Y*' beyond the hole a^d make the first row equal to the length of the hole. 2.

"Gentle All-Bran keeps me regular" ••You bet I think all-bran is helpful for constipation. It sure helped me. You see I'd been dosing myself for years with many kinds of purgatives which helped only briefly. But do, if your constipation is due to lack of "bulk" in the diet.Srhply eat kellogg's all-bran regularly, and drink plenty of water. This wholesome cereal helps to produce smooth-working "bulk", apd prepare wastes for easy elimination. So, to stay regular, eat all-bran daily, as a cereal or in several all-bran muffins. Remember, all-bran is 3 cereal--not a medicine. Get it at your grocer's. 2 handy sizes. Made by Kellogg's in London, Canada.

Britain Cuts Age Of Army Service The British Government ha; decided the minimum age. for men serving in the army overseas shall be reduced from 19 years to 18% years, the War Secretary Sir James Grigg, informed the House of C»ni- Announcing this step to add manpower for the attack, the War Secretary said "this critical stage in the war demands that in the coming months we must make the fullest use of all our trained men to ensure that there is the greatest possible weight behind our blows and the the impetus of our a;;ack This decision which makes the age limit as it was during the greater part of the First Great War in no way alters the policy that men will not be sent overseas unless they are fully trained. Sir James said the adoption of the lower age limit brings the army itno line with the existing practice in the other two services. In the Royal Navy men may serve a:'oat in ships based on both home and foreign stations at the age o: 18 and R.A.F. personnel,-are also per- age. "Do you mean," Bill asked„ as the dismissed witnesses straggled diappointedly away, "that we're un- "Not yet. When I arrest people for murder," the inspector said dryly, "they stay arrested." He looked it, Christine thought, examining him for the first time. And yet, under happier circumstances, she felt that she might have liked and trusted him. He was an erect man of early middle age, with a direct, non-committal blue gaze, and a quietly incisive voice.. He had the appearance of one who might be impersonally fair so long as he knew that you were honest with him, but implacable to any whom he suspected of lying. And already she had deceived him by her tacit asquiescence to the name by which Mr. Wilmet had introduced her. It was going to be difficult to explain that under those uncompromising eyes. I must tell him who I really am at once, Christine thought. Perhaps I can talk to him alone. But talking to Inspector Parsons alone did not prove to be easy. (Continued Next Week) Weeklies Ask New Division Of 48-hour Week Co-operation of Publishers Urged To Further Increased Immigration From Britain The Ontario-Quebec Divisistf of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers' Association at the closing session of its conference at Niagara Falls last week, asked its executive to draw to the attention of the On-lario Labor Relations Board the special cicumstances under which weekly papers are produced. Because of the pressure of late news and advertising immediately before publication, the most satisfactory division of the 48-hour week would be a 12-hour publication day, compensated by a Saturday half-holiday, the meeting decided. The board will be asked to sanction this arrangement in offices where the 48-hour week already is in operation, and with the consent of the employees involved In an address to delegates, Russell T., Kelly of Hamilton urged co-operation of the publishers in a movement to bring about increased immigration from Britain and other "I would like to see us get 2,000,-000 people from the British Isles after the war," he said.
