There is a lot of talk about Con- federation with Canada. and may- be that is the right answer to our qugstiun; but. does Canada want usi-and without knowing that how can we consider Confedera- tion? How would we be governed under Confederation, and would our taxes‘ be greater or less than now, and would our local industries be opened up more and would our highways be increased. thus bene- fitng the people in the outlying districts. and would it really and truly be better for our country. and by our “country" we don't mean St. John's and the Avalon Peninsula only. but the interior and all the coasts of Newfound- land? These are a few of the things we would like to know. and I'd like very much to see some letter writ- len by someone who could tell us in part what Newfoundland would be like under Confederation; and not written by someone who thanks that Confederation might be 1n- iurious to his line of work or pro- ession. We want an unbiased opin- ion. as it is the truth we are seek- ing; so come along fellow-country- men. and write more letters lo the Press. and thus help us to decide for what. and whom to vote when the time comes for us to do so.

Tragedy Strikes At Local Organist

Tragedy struck at Mr. Roy Min;-

Pau1‘s Anglican Church, Charlotte- town. yesterday when af l0:35 in the mortnl-ng he received a cable- gram stating his K-year-old wife had died on Saturday at the Luton Hospital. Bedfordshlre. England. The shock of the news was fur- ther increased by the cablegrams disclosure that Mrs. Mugford died in childbirth and that the twin-

babies also succumbed. Pour child- ren. the eldest eight, and the youngest. two years and two

months survive.

Mrs. Mugford, it is learned. had had regular pro-natal medical at- tentlon and the doctors had assur- ed Mr. Mugford some weeks ago before he left England for Canada that there was nothing to worry about and that his wife and family would soon be able to join him.

If ls understood that the many friends of Mr. _Mugford in the City are going to use all the in- fluence they possess to expedite the brlngino over of Mr. Mugfordb children to Charlottetown.

r. Mugford was stationed at 1 Air Force training school here for s time during the war.

Don finds it there out tells g1‘: wmaein lklle CflilllOttgllltsil it. After

He will write a novel called ‘The Bottle". about a mans exper- ience from the time hie first learned to drink. It. is Sam's business to sell ilquor. but he is uneasy about Don's drinking and asks why he does it.

He arrives home _t-:o late for the imam and finds Wick has gone to the country-Helen to her assi n- mcht on "Time" iria-gazine. So n hides one bottle and settles doom to write. But he must have just one drink to start him off. and that means another, another, and on. other. until he is in drunken sleep.

Next day he cannot remember where the ot-hcr bottle is hidden. So he borrows money enough to go to

Jacks’ a supposedly fashionable place where there are many quiet obecenlitles. Needing more money for liquor he steals a lady's handbag, but is detected and hhroiwn oult.

another scene we see his des- perate walk. block after block, to pawn the typewriter his mother gave him with which to become a. writer; only to find it is YOM KIPPUR. the Jewish Day of Atone- ment. Hesc, indeed. is a man in the torvums of hellish thirst, enough to make the onlooker weep and also gnach his teeth in desperation at what. happens to human kind.

Don borrows from a met in a bar-roan. Wh descend- ing the stairs he falls. He wakes in the alcoholic ward of a city hos- pital. The place is full of men in itlllfiils stages 0'. alcoholism; some sis-Lire from the loco taxi of vener- eal dlsease; others mutter. mutter, mutttcr. The Orderly‘ fclis Don they all come back. that a vziill have the d.i..'s, and that what is to be feared ls the little animals he will see in his ell-slum. In the night are fearful scenes as men get the d.t‘s (delirium trcmens) and Don man- agss to escape.

In the early morning he is seen in hls pyjamas ivalking towards a Church. One hopes he will go in and make s new start. But across the street. he sees e. liquor store opening up. He gues in and makes ifle salesman give him a bottle of whisky. He goes home and drinks himself into the old state; then he accidentally comes 0n the bottle he had hidden. and that, too is con- sun-Ed.

lttght comes on and he emper- iciices d.t.'s. l-le sccs a large mou-se came out of a well. Bats flutter out. of the ciutains. One seizes on the mouse and blood streams down thr- .wall. This drives Don delirious. 4mm which he is rrscued Helen's nn-lvai with the skeleton -ey. She also saves him from shoolln him- self. Then the Picture, unli e the book. shows him resolved to s drinking the first. drink. which the only cure to this condition, and
