Canby stirred in his chair, reached for the matches, lighted his pipe and began his story. "Well, I guess there's no doubt about it. I gave; Mildred a raw deal, and I'm S0l'l')'l for that." i

"But. Canby, how did you ever: get engaged to a girl that didn't rutt. you any better than that? Did she grab you?"

Canhy groaned and slid farther down on his spine, "No, I did the grabbing, such as 'twas. Nobody was to blame but me. she's too much of a lady to grab anything, let alone a man. Good griefl I never want to look at a girl again."

llevives in The Lemay Disappearance

MONTREAL, Oct. 80 -(CP)- Contradictory statements about the fate of pretty Huguetts Le- may have revived interest in the mystery of her disappearance 10 months ago in Florida.

Georges Lemay, her well-to-do, 26-year-old husband, came out with a statement that he has proof she is alive.

Montreal lawyer Raymond Daoust, a brother of the petite Montreal beauty who was 24 when she vanished at Key West, declared the Lemay family "does not be- lieve she is alive."

James O. Barker, Florida sher- iff's deputy who probed the dis- appearance, said at Key West:

"Evidence indicates she is dead. Blood-stained garments found on the Tnmiaml Trail were identified as having been in Lemay'a car.”

Lemay issued his statement when a newspaper dispatch from Key West. said he had declared in a telephone interview that Mrs. Lemay is alive and he planned divorce action against her in Jan- uary.

Lemay confirmed the interview.

He added he would prove that the "blood-stained garments" men- tioned by Deputy Sheriff Barker of Monroe County "never existed

elsewhere than in the imagin- ation of a policeman eager for publicity."

What brought up the case

again months after it was half- forgottgn was Lemay's statement last week-end he would go to Miami to clarify the disappear- ance as soon as Barker is out of office.

Lrmay said he had been in- formed Barker's term of office was due to end "ln a few weeks."

Barker said today at Key West

' "Well, they can't here now, of iccyurse." said Timothy.

"But. how'd they ever do it? That's what I'd like to know."

It was a subject on which Tim- othy had thought a good deal. He launched forth: "Well, general farming used to pay here-just labout as it did anywhere. of lcourse there's still dairylng. But dairying's like everything else. It's only the big combinations that can hold their own. The indivi- 'dual farmer hasn't 'l look-in. Still, there's something rather in- teresting in the air there, the co- operative movement."

Canby said. "Well, I guess I'll go out and bat around the old town, and sea if I'd know any- body.” y

"Hold on!" said Timothy. "You haven't looked at the thermome- ter. You don't. know what to wear yet."

They went to a window together and looked out at the tube of mer-

Assistants And Cabineillewards

O'I'I'AWA - (OP) - A House of F is member appointed par- liamentary assistant to a Minister is about half-way to a cabinet post.

Exactly half the eligible list of Parliamentary assistants appointed since the office was established 10 years ago now are members of the Privy Council.

Ten are members .with port- folio in the present cabinet. An- other. former Fisheries Minister Mayhew. has Just been appointed Ambassador to Japan.

Prime Minister St. Laurent has 10 Ministers with portfolio-heads of Government departments--and two without portfolios.

started In 1043

Since April 29, 1942, when the first of the Parllamentaiy assist- ants were named-to help war- burdeneci Ministers of Defense, Finance. and Munitions and Sup- plies-30 members of the Com- mons have been appointed.

Of those, two died, two were ap- pointed to the bench, two return- ed to private life, one went to the Senate and one to the provincial political field.

Of the remaining 22 still in the field 11 obtained cabinet posts and 11 are still on the Job as Parlia- mentarye assistants, in line for later cabinet jobs.

Thus it would seem that the proper target for an ambitious young member of Parliament should be e. Parliamentary assist- antshlp which, the record to date shows, gives him a. 50-50 chance for a place in the Privy Council.

Get 54,000 Extra.

The job is an interesting one for a private member, apart from the chance for advancement. It adds 34,000 to the s6,000 a private mem- ber receives in indemnity and ex- pense allowance.

A Parliamentary assistant is a member of the House of Commons chosen to help a cabinet Minister handle his legislation and esti- mates in the Commons, reply to questions for him and otherwise aid him in the conduct of his de- partmental duties.

He does not attend cabinet meet- lngs. He is just 9. private member who gets extra pay for doing extra. work which keeps him busier than the average private member and keeps him in Ottawa longer.

In the United Kingdom Parlia- ment his opposite number is a "parliamentary secretary" who does exactly the same sort of job but gets no extra pay for it. The Un- ited Kingdom official takes his compensation in experience and the hope for advancement.

Hold Important Posts

Former Parliamentary assistants now in the cabinet, in order of their appointment, are:

Defence Minister Claxton, Trans- port Minister Chevrier, Health Minister Martin, Finance Minister Abbott, Resources Minister Win- ters, Veterans Minister Lapointe, Mines Minister Prudham, Citizen- ship Mlnlster Harris, Fisheries Minister Sinclair and Solicitor

General Campney. The 11th was Fisheries Minister Mayhew. Parliamentary assistant still on

Voting Mahsralali, Takes Throne Remote Bhutan ea

By Adrienne Tb:-rel!

NEW Dsiltl-II, India, Oct. I0 - (Beuters) - Moon-faced young Miharsjah Jlgmie Dorll Wsngchuk Monday formally acceded to the throne of Bhutan. a remote Hima- layan state visited by few white men.

A solemn Buddhist ceremony in Pare. the religious capital. ushered in the 24-year-old MaharaJah's reign over the mountainous. ls,- 000-square-mile ares edged between Tibet and India. It is known to the west as "The Land of The Last Horizon."

A 1040 treaty with India granted Bhutan intemnl independence but provided for Indian guidance in foreign affairs. The feudsllstic state has no main roads, no taxes in money, no national army, no political parties and virtually no foreign trade. '

Foreigners are barred from the

state unless they have the Maharajah's permission to cross the border.

The new ruler over 300,000 per-

the job, in order of their appoint- ments, are:

George Mcllralth (Ottawa West) Trade and Commerce: P. E. Cole (Verdun-Lasalle) Labor: Robert McCubbln (Midd1esex West) Agri- culture; J.W. MacNaugbt (Prlncc) Fisheries; L. A. Mutch (Winni- peg South) Vetersns' Affairs; J. A. Blsnchette (Compton-From tenac) National Defence; William Benedlckson (Kenora-Rainy River) Transport: J. G. Leopold Langlois (Gaspe) Post Office; Jean Lesage (Montmagny-L'Islet) External Af- fairs; Dr. E. A. Mccusker ' (Re- gina Cliy) Health, and John Dic- key (Halifax) Defence Production.

Younger Group

Although Parliamentary assist- ants are generally younger than the age class formerly selected for the cabinet, their promotions have not altered the average cab- inet age which in 1943, in a cab- inet of 20, and today with a cab- inet of 22 (both including the Prime Minister) remains within a fraction of 56. Average age of the 10 present Cabinet Ministers who were former Parliamentary assist- ants is 48.6, and the rest 60.8.

On April 9, 1942, the then Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, an- nounced appointment of the first Parliamentary assistants.

Such a scheme had long been advocated and provision was made in the appropriations some time earlier. The first appointments were to provide assistance to Min- isiers of Defence, Finance Munitions - departments heavily loaded with war responsibilities.

The prime objective was to re- lieve busy Ministers of constant attendance in the House and of numerous routine matters connect- ed with their parliamentary du- ties.

But the poll of talent so creat- ed has, in practice, set up a sort

of preparatory school for the Privy Council.

The young uahsrajsh toured Britain in 1950 to scqualnt himself with western life. one of his first stepsin trying to modernise his land was a recommendation that Bhutan inaugurate a. postal system and the use of stamps.

The Mhharejah studied the British penal cede-a far cry from Bhutsn's usual,way of dealing with criminals. Condemned men are sewn into bullock skins and tossed in the river to drown.

One of the few white men to visit the "Last Horizon" was Lord Waverley. In 1037 when he was an- John Anderson. he travelled by pony across a 10.600-foot-high pass into Bhutan at the invitation of the late Msharsjah.

In the..entira trip through the state. "we never saw a wheel of any kind," he said.

The people, mostly of Tibetan origin, make their living from agriculture, wood-carving, basket- maklng and the production of fine swords and daggers.
