W.C.'I".U. NOTES
IS lNDll-‘FERENCE SIN? '
Some time ago American Con- greumen took a vote on the ques- tiom-"Do you think lotteries sim- "ilar to the Irish l-iopital Sweep- stakes, and conducted only for charity, should be allowed in the United Slates?" The answers were "Yes" for over 55%. "No" for 32%. and over 12% were indiffer- ent, not caring how to answer- but they stili all sing, "God Bless America." How can l-lis blessing be bestowed with such a blight ‘on the Country?
Everywhere in Canada also, and in most insidious ways, lotteries lcome to our very doors.
At a summer resort, where there are many true Christians, no one was willing to have a slot ma- chine removed, lest “the store- kceper should take offence." In a n o t h e r beautiful countryside, many were charmed by attractive music from a passing car-but as it slowly passed, the sign and ob- ject were plain "50 cents on a draw for this car." "What Obie!‘- tions can you have," is asked, "if the proceeds no to religious pur- poses?" The need never justifies the means. Lotteries and gambling are a blight. Don't lot indiffer- ence be our excuse. "To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is a sin,"
Respebtfuliy, Catharina C. King.

SAKATCHEWAN CONVENTION ON THE REHABILITATION OF ALCOHOLICS
Rcv. J. Fornaiaro, of Regina Jail Staff, addressed the delegates on the rehabilitation of a prisoner affected by alcohol. "Drunken- ness is an old problem," ha said. "and all methods have failed. and while we acted in good faith, sometimes we had not much vision. We grew concerned nbout- those who suffer. and ignored the drink- er, but. ‘that didn't work. Today we see drinking and drunkenness as more of a warning of trouble, than trouble itself. People rarely drink for thirst, but to close out unpleasant things. and strong they are, and to belong to an association of friends, and have something in a group. It is not from habit hut is a person who is not prepared for living and ‘needs a crutch. The line of ap- proach must he not to condemn ‘the drinker, that lacks Christian- ity, for the alcoholic knows he is beaten. We must find out about ,him, his home, friends, community

The union's national headquart- ers said also in a prepared mete- ment that it has also called upon doolters’ affiliates o! the _Worid Maritime Federation in foreign ports to end the boycott against Canadian ships which the 0.8 U sought several months ago.
The union said one of the rea- sons for calling off the strike was "the continued persecution of the scazmn by the Government who had refused to pay unemployment insurance to seamen in an effort tr. starve thorn into submission."
T e strike was called March 3i by he allegedly Communist-lee union when it learned that thr Shipping Federation of Canad had signed with the rival Seafar ers’ International Union (AIL)
low Water in Canal’ Delays Slipping
MONTREAL, Oct. Z2 —(GP)— Canal officials said today that ai- most 70,000 tons of Great Lakes shipping is idle and the total m8.)- soon reach 100,000 unless the water lévei in the Lacbinc Canal is rais
‘ Today 35 lake freighters loaded with more than 1,000,000 bushels of grain were either tied up at the “Ye-stern entrance to the canal or anchored all the way from the Lachine and of Lake St. Louis to the Ontario border.
Some freighters have been idle since ‘Iuesday.
Canal officials blame the situat- ion on low water in Lake st. LOUiE . but shipping officials say the causc is the damaning of water in the Ot~ tawa River, a move toward pro- venting a power shortage this wint- er in Ontario.
The water is six inches loo 101v for safe navigation into the canal entrance and only lightly loader. ships can navigate the waterway.

“But, Elsie - you're my friend, not my customer."
"Don't be silly; why can't I be both? If you don't ask for it, I will. Ten per cent on twenty-six hundred is a good enough day's work. Besides, I'll invite you to Cape May as my house guest for the summer and my bet is you'll pluck off half a dozen commissions to fix over some of those horrors of houses down there. Come, we'll go get steam bathed and then fo: our ten per cent."

Chapter XIV
John Baldwin's state of chronic and growingly manifest arthritis, which slowed ‘him down im- measurably, was responsible for what had become Sierras regular habit of dining at her father's house on Wednesday evenings. These evenings had come to be somewhat precious tradition to sierra, and she would not have admitted, even to herself. that tho rason she so seldom pressed the inclusion of_ Kitty or Oharlottenburg at these weekly forcgatherings was because. "b ‘ them. the? frc- quentiy offered her a. half-hour or so of quiet talk with Oliver alone.
This usually happened about nine-thirty o'clock. when her father. after en hour or so of cards. pitched beck his chair because cf a. fatigue he could not control. Mom about then. inexplicable and somewhat frightening to a man who in the first sixty-five years of his life had never known a. day in bed, this sudden fatigue came down over Baldwin. blanching him with palior.
Impeccebiy attentive to his wcii- being, Leonora would push a chair back also. end follow him to his room. The routine thereafter iiet’. pl ision. In about half an hmu- she rould return in eomethlntt trailing end neeligee. e quality fine as e heir in her manner giv-

to greet Sierra every time she en- tered it these Wednesday even- ings. Wood fires smelled. The hallways, which had been per- ennially chilly in a house diffi- cult to heat, contained soft warmth and hint of the perfumes of Leonora. Stairs that had rcsounded from insufficient pad-ding beneath carpeting were newly covered and recorded no footsteps. In an um- brella. stand beside the hatrack, Oliver's canes gave off their cx- citing suggestion of his presence. The Wednesday evening following Kitty's drive in the park with Elsie Tweed, Oliver was in tho act of placing one of these Malacca canes in the stand as Sierra entered. He had changed not too per- ceptibiy during these years of Leonores marriage to Baldwin. Except for the clean-shaved upper lip. where once had been the clipped hedge of mustache, and which if anything had the effect of making him appear younger, the years hau‘ started no erosive processes upon that straight slim body.

Despite the lsssitude with which he relaxed back against life as if it were his armchair, you hadthc feeling that Oliver, so effete. fitted badly into this background of stability and permanence.
Encountering Oliver in the hali- way in this manner was contrary to the established precedent of these Wednesday evenings. Usually by the time Sierra. in day clothes, arrived at the punctual hour of seven, he was already established with Leonora and John Baldwin beside the library fireplace.
"Why, Oliver, isn't this late for you!" inquired Sierra, unwinding her mannish muffler. which she wore in lieu of the rich assortment of furs. including sable and chin- chiila, which she but inherited. from her mother and peesed on to Florence. He turned his, full feco toward her, revealing pellor even
