G. D. Conant to the mayor and council of Whitby. In that letter the Whitby offi- cials are advised that tenders have been called for construction of bridges of the Lynde creek, west of Whitby, over the Rouge river, and one at Henry street in Whitby, This announcement, coupled with. the awarding of contracts for a bridge at Pickering, are all seen as indica- tive of the Department's plan to finish the highway right to Oshawa. Tenant's Ordered Ont Another development . in the highways program occurred today in Oshawa when notices were re- ceived by occupants of houses pur- chased in the spring of 1939 by the Department of Highways. The tenants were notified to vacate the department's houses by January 1, 1941, providing further proof that the department is planning high- way action early next year. The department purchased the houses early in 1939 when it was intended to continue highway con- struction. Later the homes were leased to various tenants until highway work was resumed.

Murphy, a veteran of 10 years diplomatic service in France before and during the war, was ordered back to Vichy to take up the duties of charge d'affaires. Murphy, form- erly counsellor at the Paris em- bassy, has been in this country for several months.

The coffins were laid three- deep in the trench. The Bishop of Coventry, Right Reverend Marvin Hay, spoke at the communal grave pleading for a better under- standing, a closer neighborli- ness and determination to go on. The Bishop was pro- nouncing the benediction when the German raider appeared. The crowd looked up in anger and defiance . Then British fighters moved up and the raider disappeared.

Thus Germany stretched a po=- tential military avenue 250 miles further into Southeast Europe--to- ward Greece, Turkey and the Sues Canal. The original alliance, signed last Sept. 27 at Berlin, is a 10-year mili-. tary and economic treaty which binds its signers to a one-for-all and all-for-one pledge of aid against any new entrant into either the European or Asiatic wars. Hitler himself came to this one- time capital of Nazi-annexed Aus- tria for the ceremony.
