SONG OI‘ THE BYE

I was made to be eaten. And not to be drank; To be threshed in a barn. Not soaked in a tank. I come as a blessing When put through a mill; As a blight and curse When run through a still. Make me up into loaves, And your children are fed; But if into drink. I'll starve them instead In bread I'm a servant. The eater shall rule; In drink I am master. The drinker-s fool. —ANON.

(Century-old. but true as ever.) AN UNIQUE ORGANIZATION

\ Of all organizations dedicated to

tthe welfare of mankind, a place ,sliould be reserved near the tap ‘of the list for Alcoholics Anony-

mous. The members of the A. A. n‘! themselves "a group of peo- wtt» for whom alcohol has become a major problem and who. acknow- ledging lt, have decided to do something about it." That they have done something about it is indicated by the growing mem- bership of thc organization which. in the comparatively few years of its existence. has extended to many countries oi the world.

Now only 12 years old. the or- ganization estimates its member- ship at approximately 67,000. At a convention here during the week-end attended by 150 dele- gates representing 1'1 groups of A.A.'s in the three Maritime Pro- vinces. it was stated there are about 300 members oi’ the organ- ization in these three provinces.

The organization has done un- told good in assisting men who seemed doomed to a life of agony and fear, back on the road to health. While medicine and so- ciety have found alcoholism an in- soluble puzzle in the past. and have regarded those afflicted as not worth treatment or as pub- llc nuisances. Alcoholics Annoy- mous has given new hope to thous- ands. Prior to AA. 95 per cent of alcoholics were considered hope- less. But of A.A.’s members 5t) per cent never touch a drop after they join and another 25 per cent make good after one or two slips. While the organization does not claim miracles. its record reveals that its method oi’ mutual help and fellowship is succeeding In a most encouraging manner.

Val Glollhﬂ

She slid unobtrusively from the room as Sir George Manson walk- ed briskly in. nodded Larriinore. hung up coat‘ and hat. end turned his desk.

t°“Good morninl. Hf- Winn"- Boi-ry to have kept you waltina. l got hung up at home-you glow what a domestic crisis can be. Uirrimore did not char!!! position on the arm of the chair. "1 don't," he replied. "Never had a family."

Sli- Geolte. like his secrete?!» 1'0" fused to acknowledge the studied ‘nsolence in the airman's tone.

. “Lucky man," he said 80111110- "I hope Miss Wright entertained you?"

"Perfectly. thanks.“

"Good. Cynthia!"

“Yes, Sir George?"

“I'm invisible to anyone except my brother Hubert and his wife. And I don't want to answer the telephone. .

"1 imaging you'll‘ see your daugh- ter lf she comes down?"

"Why on earth should she come down?" Sir George's eyes moved to the enlarged snapshot on the wall opposite his desk. and his ex- pression softened. "Yes. if lhe comes. I'll see her, confound her!" Miss Wright closed the door softly. The airman and the Chairman of Associated Airways Limited looked steadily’ It each other. For a moment neither spoke. They might have been duelists preparing to cross swords.

At last Sir George ‘leaned across his desk, clasplng his big hands together.

"Well," he said curtly, "I believe that my secetary outlined my pro- position to you on the ‘phone. Will you take it on?"

Larrimore blew smoke through his nostrils before he answered. "I’ll take It on, Sir George." hi’ said deliberately, "if you'll satisfy my curiosity as to just why you picked on me for the lob." "Doesn't your record supply the answer?"

“I want the truth, please. ‘There are other capable long-distance flycrs you know very well."

“I fancy Rupert Larrimore is the best there is. I like the best- of everything." .

Larrimore stood up.

"If I'm only to get the best but-

ter we'll call it a. day." he said. “I didn't come here for that. Did you or did you not choose me be- cause they've broken me’! Be- cause I've made headlines for the last month. and am likely to make more?" Sir George hesitated. Larrimore had put his motives in a nutshell. and continued the opinion he had formed of the airman's shrewd- ness. At the same time Sir George Manson was in the habit of getting his own way, and of calling the tune during interviews with prospective employees. To be hectored by one of the latter was a new experience. And he did not like it.

Larrimore laughed suddenly.

"l suppose you're sparing my feelings," he said savagely, and began to pace up and down the room. "Feelings! D’you think I've any left?"

"Listen to me. Sir George," he said. "I tell you frankly. I'm profoundly indifferent as to what happens to me after this. I may as well fly your ‘plane from Tim- buctoo to Tokyo as do anything elsel But I won't do it under false pretencesl"

Sli- George protested mildly that there was no question of any such thing.

"What I mean." persisted Larrl- more. “is this: I'm taking no in- teiest in this flight beyond the fact that you're paying me a cer- tain sum in cash to do a certain job of work!"

"Very well." said Sir George. “If that's how you want it. If I were coming on the trip I should dc- mand a modicum of good man- ners. As I'm not it's immaterial to me that you should persist in being deliberately uncivil."

He got to his feet in turn, and held out a stamped agreement across his desk.

"l want you, Mr. Larrimore. to pilot my new aeroplane. ‘The Star of the East’. on her maiden flight from Timbuctoo to Tokyo. crossing the Sahara Desert en mute. I chose you because you were the first man to fly the South Pacific solo. and also the first man to be cashlered for causing s fatal accident at an lknpire Air Day display at l-Iendon. Is that straight enough from the shoul- der for you?"

Larrimore nodded: and lir George managed to conceal a smile.

Don't Forget to Aiiend Air Force Celebration at Summerside WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8th. AT 2:10 PM.

At which momen Miss Wright ,ened the door to admit Profes- sor Hubert Manson.

Bir George's brother was a man of perhaps fifty, excessively tall. inclining to baldness, round- shouldered and spectwcled. He peered absently about him, as if not very sure of why he had come.

"l'm sorry if I'm late. George," he said apologetically. "but Janet; refused to let me come out in odd socks. She's fussy about the most curious things."

Sir George nodded. introduced Larrlmore abruptly, and be"); to unroll a map which he took from one of the drawers of his desk.

The Professor gave a hand to l-errlmore. and looked at him with inoffenslvely naive curiosity.

"Lerrimore." he repeated. and scratched his jaw. "I seem to know the name. Ifave I met you before?"

"Possibly in print." Larrlmore sardonicslly.

“Ah yes," said Hubert Manson, "I think I recall an article in the ‘British Medical Journalﬁ"

“Hardly that,” grinned Larri- Qrgolre’. "But I'm delighted to meet

Sir George looked at the quaint- ly assorted pair. and all at once became oppresslvely the practical man nf affairs. ‘
