But he hurried and extracted a| the United States market--Ameri- | dime and"a nickel from his prec- | ious hoard of silver for the man at | the high' ticket stand. | Human Art Gallery | It was wonderful in that big tent, he thought, even though some | of the people in there did not look just like they did on the signs out- side. The "Human Art Gallery," | he found out, was a man from some | far-off country, tattooed with pic- | tures all over him. Shucks, the | boy thought, Uncle Jack had a pic- | ture of a ship on his chest, and a big anchor on his right arm. But {he didn't call himself a human art gallery. But, at that, Uncle Jack | didn't have what this man had-- tattoo marks all over, Yes, it was | wonderful. There followed in quick succes- | sion a lot of more wonderful hap- penings. The boy met a pal from | Mary Street School and together | they climber fearlessly into "The Rocket." Off to the Moon In no time at all this rocket thing was catapulting the two boys who sat close together in their cramped. little space right straight |to the moon. Tkere was a blur of | faces of men and women and | children on the midway when the fast rocket dipped down toward earth, but the wide, blue sky op- | ened up again quickly as the dare- devils hurtled into space. A hot dog covered with thin, but palatable mustard helped out in the | food department after the fast rock- let ride, after the tousled-haired kid had returned from the moon, He | found his y to the grandstand |and saw a oup of clowns there, not just funny clowns, although these were funny enough. But they were clever clowns. They all had musical instruments and they play- ed good music and acted funny, too. Gee whiz, what next? Far back in a corner of the grounds, up past the grandstand, the silvered spokes of sulky wheels caught the kid's eye and he went back there to see what was going on. He saw ponies and saddle horses and young cattle being | shown in the judging ring with | their young owners, junior farmers, proudly pointing up the merits of | Shorthorns and Guernseys. He ate a hamburger sandwich smothered with onions and pickle irelish, he played bingo and he tried to toss a small hoop over a shining hunting knife. He climbed up to the seats of tractors and in behind [the wheels of sleek new automobiles and he looked down from his seat on the ferris wheel and saw the whole world stretched out down there away in the distance when his chair was at the top. Thankful For Bus Ticket And then suddenly things began to chainge a bit. His silver was gone and he wouldn't accept this knowledge that was imparted to him by his fingers rummaging through an empty pocket. No money left. He opened his frayed wallet where | he kept the card with his name and | address, and he was thankful to find the bus ticket which his moth- had placed in there for him. hts were blinking on now and alized it was getting dark. He man the time. It was late, he should have been home two ago. The noise was in- creasing and there were only a few kids around and none that he knew. There were more men and h aske | women jostling around. The touseled-hafred kid started toward the gate much slower than when he entered some six hours ago. He took lingering glances { back hating to part with the ma- gic of it all, hating to go through the gate that would bring him back into paved streets and commonplace things--like school, for instance. But he did pass through the gate, a little tired guy unknowing- ly carrying with him memories that will linger as long as he lives and carrying. too, a measure of hap- piness that can never entirely fade from his heart. TORONTO STOCKS Toronto, Sept. 16--(CP)--Prices edged their way slowly forward following Thursday's slight down- trend in moderately active fore- noon trading on the Toronto Stock Fxchange today. Mining issues continued Thurs- day's late recovery movement. Industrials firmed fractionally and western oils sagged slightly in quiet dealings. Volume for the first hour was 353,000 shares, about 104,000 shares more than yester- day's first hour. - News late Thursday from Wash- ington that the United States had requested a special meeting of the International Monetary Fund gold committee sparked gold issues out of their declines. Demand contin- ued in today's session with junior producers showing gains ranging up to 10 cents and a few seniors tightening slightly.

There now is hope from trade conversations over the last year or so, and from the recent Washing- ton talks, that something will 'be done to simplify customs regula- tions. Paul Hoffman, head man in ad- ministration of the European Re- covery Program, pointed out re- cently that the United States has a gross national production of 254,- 000,000,000. He added: : "Just: three-tenths of one per- cent more of that spent on British goods, and the dollar gap can be closed, Stated that way, it would seem | that British should be able to win the small required fraction of that huge market, It is understandable enough why British selling efforts on this side of the Atlantic may have lacked drive, One reason is that for six years she was so occupied with war that she 'had virtually nothing to sell and so had to neglect these markets, when currencies were interchange- able, it wasn't necessary for her to sell great amounts here so long as she maintained her sales to the World at large.

Premier J. B. McNair of New | Brunswick said he had not yet re- ceived his copy of the letter and preferred to make no comment be- fore studying it. Government circles in Quebec City said they believed their gov- ernment, headed by Premier Maur- ice Duplessis, would want to sit in on such a conference. Premier Du- plessis himself, was not available for comment.

Nine such buildings, which Woused almost 1,000 women during the war- time operation of the munition plant, were sold to- contractors who have resold them as four and six- room homes when dismantled, The contractors say they can be con- verted into good homes and that the lumber in them has not deterior- ated.

Several sections of one build- ing are being transported to Wau- bashene for use at the home, Guilty Plea Entered By Laszlo Rajk Budapest, Sept. 16 (AP).--Laszlo Rajk, former No. 2 Hungarian Communist, pleaded guilty . today of plotting to overthrow the Red- dominated Hungarian government. The 42-year-old former minister interior and former foreign pleaded guilty to all of minister ! charges in the indictment against him. These charges include plotting with representatives of Marshal Tito's Yugoslav government to assassinate leading Hungarian of- ficials and"®o make Hungary "a colony of Yugoslavia." Rajk was the first of eight de- fendants to enter a plea. Rajk re- peatedly . answered = "guilty" as presiding Judge Peter Janko of the five-member court read the charges against him. After admitting his guilt, Rajk began--in calm, clear and measured tones--to tell the story of his life. He admitted the claim in the government's indictment that - he had' been a police informer since 1931, even while holding important posts in the Communist party and the Communist-controlled govern- ment, Correspondents observed that Rajk seemed eager to admit all the charges against him and actually appeared anxious to remember every detail connected * ith the plot of which he was accused. eT Extensive security precautions were taken around the headquart- ers of the Ironworkers Union, a huge modern white stone building which served as a courtroom. The narrow streets surrounding the building were blocked off. Admittance to the trial was only by tickets issued by the. govern- ment, Lt.-Gen, Gyorgy Palffy, former chief inspector of the Hungariun Army, is the number two defend- ant. Co-defendants Palffy are: Zoltan Horvath, with Rajk and former editor- | in-chief of the official organ of the Hungarian trades unions. Azar Branko, 37, former coun- selor of the Yugoslavian legation in Budapest. i Dr, Tibor ~Szoenyi, 46, former head of the section of the Hun- members, Andras Szalai, 32, a deputy Dr. Szoenyi.

But the British, stand- ing pat on earlier officials denials, kept a discreet silence right up to the formal closing sessions, As a result, the most important business for the governors of the International Monetary Fund to- aay was approval--expected with- out a dissenting vote--of an offi- cial study of a possible boost in | gold prices. The major event of the confer- ence, therefore, appeared to have taken place Tuesday, the opening day. That was when the fund urg- ed Britain and other "deficit coun- to consider currency deval- uation as a remedy for faltering trade and dwindling dollar reserves. Two of angry debate and fast manoeuvering produced a compromise on the touchy question of gold prices. A study will he com- pleted "as expeditiously as possible" tries" | icy, in the view of delegates to the | unofficial commonwealth conference | here. | But they believe that a common | foreign policy for the British group | of nations might lead other coun- | tries to feel that the commonwealth | of nations are trying to "gang up" {on them and thus would be unwise, | This was the summation by a con- ference spokesman, briefing the | press Thursday after the delegatqg | conferred behind closed doorg, { Throughout the conference the dise | cussions are private and reports are | given by spokesmen to reporters af- | verwards. Another proposal taken rather coidly by the conference was a sug- gestion by an Indian delegate of a federal government which could wially establish a "super-statg™ tu govern all commonwealth areas, Lr pawn al arew the commeng from a United Kingdom delegate that this was looking too far into the future, An Australian delegate however feit that the commonwealth members should pay more attention to the "higher" aspects of their association. Indian, Pakistan and Ceylonese delegates - joined in praising the United Kingdom's liberal outlook, but said the Asiatic countries lacked moral leadership and urged the United Kingdom to assume this re- | sponsibility, they themselves could not assume it at this time.

The Union of South Africa lost itz fight for immediate removal of the $35-an-ounce "official" ceiling on half the output of newly-mined gold. Instead, it will get an *"ex- tensive study" which could con- ceivably result in a recommenda- tion for a rise in the official price of old gold. Actnaily, the voting strength of the United States is so great that ceneral price boost is virtually impossible. The United States holds an effective veto on the question, in any case. Because it is the hea- viest buyer by far, it sets the price; Treasury Secretary John W, Sny- ; notified the fund govern- 1 he will not agree to an increase.
