About CROSSWORD - - - By Eugene Sheffer Catholics Defend Sunday Pleasure Of Royal Couple Londen, May 29. -- (Repters) -- Britain's Roman Cotholics Friday threw themselves into the fight ov- er Princess Elizabeth's action in 't- tending the races and a night club on Sunday during her recent Paris visit--on the side of the Princess against Scottish Sabbatarians. The Universe, Catholic weekly newspaper, said bluntly that Prin- cess Elizabeth and her husband "did no wrong and gave no cause for scandal." The royal couple had shown a fine example by going to 'church twice, the paper said. As for rac- ing and dancing on Sunday, "where was the sin?" it asked. | | Wife Unconscious For Two Years, Doctor Is Sued Sgvannah, Ga., May 29.--(AP)-- Meyer Haysman charges in a $62,- 000 suit that his wife had been made permanently unconscious by an operation performed two years ago, Haysman, a night club opera'or, filed the suit against Dr. H. C. Frech asking $50,000 and $12,481 recompense for money he said he had spent in trying to revive his wife. She hag been in a coma since May 29, 1946, the suit declared. Haysman said his wife, then 31, had consulted Dr. Frech about her inability to have children and was The middle-aged man who asked this question feared that at hie' age the cost of life insurance would be prohibitive . . . but even were he much older, Mutual low-cost life insurance would still prove good business. : Unfor many peopk realize the importance of life new rance only when through age or other disability they sre me longer able to secure it.

On the farm of Charle Webb, outside the town of Danville, P.Q. were outcroppings of a hardgbut peculiarly fibrous rock which made a patchwork pattern of the fields and meadows, Masses of the fibre that seemed to grow within the rock were particularly prominent in a rough crag that became known as "Webb's Ledge". Much of the land was impossible to plow, being covered with a layer of soil only deep enough to.give root to grass and weeds. So Webb resigned him- self to making no use of these fields except as pasture land for cattle. Webb and the farmers of the dis- trict knew nothing of asbestos and it remained unrecognized for years until Evan Williams, a slate miner from Wales, paid a visit to his bro- ther, a farmer in the Danville dis- trict. He recognized it as asbestos and so informed W, H. Jeffrey, a wealthy farmer of the district. Realizing the value of the newly discovered deposits, Jeffrey financ- ed mining operations.

Thirty-two countries will be represented as exhibitors and twice that number as buyers, For two weeks the market place of the world will be in Canada--the first event of its kind ever to be held in North America. On week-days the Trade Fair will be devoted entirely to business between buyers and exhibitors . . . but special arrangements have been made to admit the general public on the three Saturdays-- May 29, June 5 and June 12. Every Canadian firm interested in developing world markets for its products or world sources for its supplies will find it well worthwhile to send a representative.* Canada's observance of World Trade Week has been happily timed to coincide with the occasion of the International Trade Fair as a valuable contribution to better understanding by the Canadian people of their own important stake in world commerce. World Trade Week is sponsored by the following Canadian business organizations: The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, The Canadian Exporters' Association, The Canadian Manufacturers' Association, The Canadian Section of the International Chamber of Commerce, and the Canadian Importers' and Traders' Association.
