"I never saw so many at once. might. dresses, three suits. and four coats. besides hats and all the root," she said as they drove away She knew a spasm of what Ellen had labelled "common sense.” "whatever are we goingto do with all the clothes 1 have already?”

Mark lighted a cigarette and waved the problem away. "I'll bet Mrs. Banwood knows some needy souls. She looks as it she would. If she doesn't. there are always people who-well. look out for people--"

"I know-tho salvation Army." said Valerie. "But probably Mrs. Banwood will fix it. Housekeeper: are clever. arentt they.

"Are they? My Icquaintancc seems to have been limited. Your mother picked Mrs. Banwood off a bush somewhere. I wasn't. crazy about her at first. but now I believe she's good for me, she takcs me down. If she looks at me long I begin to wonder if my face is dirty. or if I have acaterplllar on my collar."

Valerie giggled dclightedly. she knew Mrs. Banwoods effect on one. ”5hc's only my second-I mean housekeeper,” she explained. "so you see I haven't: had much experience either. There was one at school-all sharp-"

"All sharp?"

"All. But specially her eyes and nose and elbows. We never knew much about her. If the girls met her in the halls. they ran. we hover knew why we ran. We just. did. so of course Mrs. Banwood seems pretty mild to me."

"I dare say she is really," said Mark. "It's probably my guilty conscience."

Mark headed for his factory next. morning. He had. he said. 1.0 show up at least for the day. be- fore they went. adventuring. He wondered a bit uneasily what Val- erie woulddo without him. It was the first time he had left her.

He put it to her at breakfast. but she told him solemnly that with her old things to transfer to Mrs. nanwood. red new ones to pack, and the dogs to saw stood- bye to, the day would be hardly long enough. He left her standing out on the wide steps, the morn- ing breeze in her, hair, her right hand raised in a queer little saluto as he wheeled his roadster around the curve of the drive and was gone.

He canted the picture with him with an odd sort. of icmotion. She looked small and somehow valiant under the great arch of the door- way. He was in the process of finding himself. as Valerie was.

With Mark there. everything that wasn't part of him faded. Now that he was gone. her mo- ther seemed everywhere. Her chil- ly voice came faintly. clipped and precise reciting what nice girls did and what they didn't do. What they thought and what they didn't. think.

It was strange about Mark. in less than a week he had become the person she had known but in the world. Was it always like this is you exchanged a mother to! a father?

Alcohol should need no definition. outstanding modical authority brand: it a progressive nerve da- prusant. an irritant. a habit form- ing drug with anesthetic oharacte iatlcs. Instead of stimulating. it deadcns the power of perception. A person who has been drinking bus a feeling of warmth. because the natural reaction to cold has been deadencd. It has a neat affinity for water and robs the moisture from body cells so that they do not func- tion properly. Put a moist piece of bread in alcohol and now how hard and dry it instantly becomes.

The human brain is a nerve switch board. relaying manages to different parts of the body; when alcohol affects the nerves of the eye. colors become blurred and un- certain. and the red stop signal. is mistaken for green and a collision occurs; it minimizes distances with the same results. It slows up ones thinking and causes uncertain walking.

Alcohol also decreases bodily resistance to infection and dimin- ishea the likelihood of recovery. It is also the direct cause of various chronic discaez. It is one direct or indirect cause of a large percentage of the annual death toll.. From 5 to ten per cent of admissions to mental institution: is caused by al- cohol; 96 per cent of those in our tails are there directly or indirectly from the effects of alcohol. and a very. very high proportion of acci- dents on our highways may be at- tributed to alcohol.

The Alcoholic Problem we are facing is not so much the drinker: thirst for alcohol. as the seller's thirst for gold. Are we as Layman contented to sit back and annually have our Government balance its budget and declare a large surplus from the sale of alcoholic bever- ages? We create our own -' L " problem by our ,' ,, whereas the problem is more or less self curative as far as Laymcn are concerned. Must we. I ask. sell al- cohol to our citizens to successfully negotiate the affairs of our Marl- tlme Provinces?

Pirohibltlon is the fundamental principle in all law relating to things that are socially harmful. oh. I know some people shy off when we mentions the word "Prohibi- tion." yet no term has been more misused. misunderstood and abused. All laws are either mandatory or prohibltory. They say to citizens "Thou shalt" or "Thou shalt not" with the latter predominating. The same relationship is found in the Holy writ and although we often

there is nothing we can do about it.

Personally. I believe Prohibition is the answer. It is increasing in popularity again in the country to the south of us. and I would ain- cerely . mmeud its favorable con- sideration by our Laymen as a solu- tion to the alcohol problem.

stop the increasing case whereby men and women. both young and old. may obtain alcoholic beverages. Eighteen taverns in the city of Halifax, I am told. witness a mother with a child in each arm demand- ing that the closed door of a tavern be opened. so she may take her husband home; a recent occurence.

The alcohol problem is further augmented by the attitude the Lay- men take toward moderation. The most dangerous person. to my mind-. in a community, is the one who lays he or she can take a drink or leave it alone at will. Many men and women have become drunkards thinking they can do the nine. And unfortunately moderation in

our churches. Pity the minister who when ondeavortng to preach 1 Tem- peronce sermon has to gun into the eyes of one of the leading lay- men. knowing him to be a moderg. tlonist.
