They sleep through the day and then have a merry time through the night. it is because of this habit of sleeping throuui tin day that many folks are not ae- quainted with Timmy and Mrs. Timmy.

Tiiuniy and Mrs. Timmy had been living in a tree near the edge of the Green Forei.

Tiniriiy and Mrs. Timmy had been hung in a tree near the edge of the Green Forest. it had been bloiin over in a bad storm and because there were no other ll()llull' trees in the neighborhood they had gone farther into th e (ircen Forest until they had reached the pond of Paddy the Beaver. In the middle of th at pond was a tall dead tree and in that tree vias an old home of Drummer the Woodpecker. It was just exactly what the two little Squirrels were looking for.

Jumping from the top of a iery tall tree on the shore they had glided down to the tree in the iiatcr. But when they want- ed to return to the shore they made a dreadful discovery. Mrs. Timmy couldn't jump from that tree to the shore because the tree was not high enough. Timmy was a better jumper and could make it. But little Mrs.

- Timmy was a prisoner in that

lone tree.

She was perhaps the unhap ptest little person in all the Green Forest. She was frighten- ed. dreadfully frightened. How could she get enough to eat What would she do if Tim m y should go off and leave her What would happen if that tree should blow over in the water -the uay the one on land h a d bloiin over. All day long she remained inside. She slept. But uiih the coming of the Black slindnws after jolly. round. red llr.

1. Three notrump. This hand must be played at game and no bid which allows partner to pass should

I be made. 1 When partner makes an over- . call in the two level. it should be 'presumed that the suit he bids is of good texture and that the lovernll value of his hand is of opening bid proportions. Over- calls in the two zone are not made lightly. and partner is ex- pected to take them seriously.

With 15 high card points fac- ing an overcall. and high c a r d strength in all suits, the three notrump bid becomes automatic. There should be iv fear that the queen of hearts is not a stopper. West is bound to have all the missing strength. East m u at have a trickless hand: at most he may have a stray jack.

2. Three clubs. The chief hope for game in the hand lies in n 0- trump. North is invited by th c three club bid to undertake a notrump game if he has heart

strength. It would be unwise to bid two spades or diamonds. either of

which bids may lead partner to believe a long suit is being repre- sented. The notrump possibilit-

Once it is lrecugnized that an overhall in i the two level shows approximat- ely an opening bid. vigorous act- ion is called for. t Because the spade suit is vir- tually self-sufficient. the leap to 3 four is recommended. An alteri- nate bid of three spades is also acceptable but should not be .made if there is any chance I North may not treat the bid as

treated as absolute. The cue bid in the opponent's suit puts part- ner on notice that a lime must be reached.

North will know in wh lch

Whatever North responds. the expectation is that the final con- tract viill be in spades. if he can support the suit. or in-clubs. for

By JOHN LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA iCPte major step

in equalizing ”commodity' freight rates-which move about half of Canadnls Sl.000.000.000-a- year rail traffic-was taken Wed- nesdny by the Board of Transport Commissioners.

The board. in the latest phase of an equalization study begun in 1948, directed that commodity rates on a variety of products are to be levelled off as between eastern and western Canada by Jan. t.

It was the first order on these rates.

Commodity rates generally ap- ply to specific goods moving in volume. Earlier. in 1954. the board directed equalization of the class lceilingi rates.

Arwttn the class rates. the commodity equalization does not apply to the Atlantic provinces. Legislation in 1951 exempted this area, which is subject to the rate- . d ' Maritime Freight Rates Act of 19 . PROTECT RAILWAY REVENUE

In dictating commodity rate tquallzatlon between the remain- ng sections of Canada. the board

aid today it has tried not to dis-

urb existing revenues of the rail- ways.

"This task of equalizing coni- modity rates is formidable and unique." it said "and the board has st.riven.to formulate scales that would not cause a substan- tial loss in revenue nor. on the other hand. an excessive gain in revenue for the railways. . ."

The unanimous i " t was

Freight Equalization Will Not Effect Maritime Rcites

lwritten by F. M. MacPherson, represetative on the boarl. and Leonard J. Knowles. formerly the CNRls top freight expert. The study on corrr modity rates has been under way since 1955.

The items of traffic ordered equalized for commodity rates to- day -- and representing only 3 fraction of the total movement under this type of rates-include building bric k. sand, gravel, crushed stone. clay. slag. gypsum rock. scrap iron and scrap steel. POTATOES SHIFTED

The board also ordered potatoes shifted from the commodity group to the class rates. a move which it suggested would make little difference in charges.

It left in abeyance long - de- bntedquestlonsofequollring commodity rates on these prod- ucls:

Cool: A hearing on this will be called for the near future.

Grain and grain products for domestic consumption: This case has become tangled up in a Su- preme Courl issue.

Lumber: A hearing will be cal- led shortly.

Pulpwood: The railways were directed to submit a proposal for equalized rates by March 31.

Paper articles and woodpulp: The railways were ordered to submit equalized scales by March 31

Fruits and- vegetables: The board will order a hearing in the near future. which will take in an application by B.C.tgrowera for lower rates on their products.

OTTAWA (CPI-The high-flying Canadian y has started to shows what federal economists de- scribe as a "mild contraction" which they predict should vanish by next spring.

Still dynamic and with lots of potential for a big expansion. the economy levelled off in the first half of 1957 for the first time in almost three years of steady and spectacular growth.

The levelling nff showed in the gross national product-value of all goods and services produced. In the second quarter of 1957 it stood at the annual rate of Ill.- virtually unchanged from the first quarter. the bureau of statistics reported Wednesday.

This was the first time since mid-I954 that national production did not show some increase. For example. in the second quarter of 1956 it showed an increase of some non.ooo.ooo.

National production. in value, is still running about three-per-
