SHAW CHAMPIONS POSTMAN'S CASE Says Administration of Jus- tice in Department is "Monstrous Outrage" London, Dec. 23.--George Ber: nard Shaw contributed to "The Evening ftandard" Tuesday a col- umn long letter denouncing what he called a "monstrous outrage' in the case of a London postman. who, convicted of the theft of $2.50, will lose his state Insurance of $1,500 and a pension of $13.75 a week due him after 36 years' service, "What earthly right has tke Crown to seize this postman's hard- earned provision for his old age," Mr. Shaw indignantly demands to know. "The magistrats could have sentenced him to a suitable period of imprisonment, at the same time warning the authorities that they have not a ghost of a moral or legal right to steal his money or add to the penalty in any way." "Almost an incitement to pub- lic crime," is the way Mr, Shaw sums up the matter, Post office officials said that the postman came under the service rule, which automatically stopped the pension and gratuity in cases where workers are discharged for dishonesty.

There is hardly a merchant in the city that has not made at least some effort to fall in line with the Joyful spirit of the Christmastide, and the business streets of the city. especlally Simcoe and. King streets, are beautifully attractive by day and colorfully ablaze by night. A display that is complete in detail and to whjch considerable floor space Is given, is that of the Moffatt Motor Sales. A backwoods scene, cedar trees enclose it on three sides, and a carpet of leaves and chips covers the foreground To the right of center appears a hunter's cabin, and beside it, to the left, is a new Pontiac, snow-cover: ed, but looking ready for action at a moment's spin of the starter. In front of the cabin is a rustic bench, with tin dipper and basin, stretched on the front wall is a skin, and leaning against a corner of the cabin is the trusty rifle. In the foreground are two stumps one with a squirrel perked on ft, while on the otlLer repo es an axe The whole is a very realistic forest scene in the show window of a city store. Another display, an entirely diiferent appeal, iy that of the Arcade, This one is primarily for the clildren, and is shown in conncction with their Toyland.

The arrange- ment is simple with trees forming a background, and the principles figures being the three wise men following the star.
