1t all started at Christmas time. ma. when was Crisp play- ed host to a group of children from s Giildrenh Aid Society homo in nearby Monoton. flince then i boys and girls who would otherwise have been left in the care of an institution spent the early years of their lives as members of Miss Cr1sp’s house- hold here.

(bring ibr others became Miss Crisp's task early in life. A daughter of a Methodist minia- ter, lie became mother to her four younger‘ brothers and sisters when her own mother died while she was s young girl at Andover, N. B.

When the brothers and sisters were old enough to eare for themselves, Miss Crisp continued her work. She has seen lean per- iods when food ran low and feed- ing and clothing her little wards became a real problem. But as she remarked. "God has always found a way to care for us."

As Miss Crisp’s work became known throughout NcwBrunswick the picbiems of providing for a family which averaged as many as 12 children at one time has been lessened by timely donations from various organizations.

Miss Crisp recalls with pride the 14 boys and one girl. her former charges, who served in the armed forces during the Sec- ond Great War. But she admits the tat of keeping up regular‘) correspondence with her, nephews and nieces is not an easv one epsecially when she still has a well-filled house to care for.

There is no red tape attached to lvliss Crisrfs work. ‘l-ler house is open to all children in need of shelter and she has always had prompt and to the point answers (or government oflicials who have at times questioned her authority to keep the children.

Cf-

iBy The Associated Press) WASHINGETON, Dec. 1'1 _ Th9 United States Giamber of Oom- merce tonight described as a "mirage" claims of the Congress of Industrial Organizations that wages can be increased-perhaps as much as 25 per cent-without increasing prions,

The first formal reply of bug]. ness to the report of economist Robert Nathan (which C.I.O. pre- sident Philip Murray said would be used as a guiclepost in C.I.O. wage demands in steel, automo- bile and electrical manufacturing industries) was mnde by William

K. Jackson, president of the chamber.

Jackson said that after the first round of wage increases last

spring prices went up despite the argument that wages could be raised 2'14 per cent without any price increase.

Jackson took exception lo Mur- ray's statement in Pittsburgh, where the big three C.I.O. unions are determining wage policy. in which Murray called for "peaceful settlement" of the new demands and said that "it is up to the in- dustrlaiists" whether a new wave of strikes ls to be avoided."

"In other words." said Jackson.

“unless management agrees to everything Mr. Murray demands. then managemet will be to

blame for the strikes which Mr. Murray will cali."

Employers Warned Concerning Bonuses

OTTAWA, Dec. l'l—llnployers were warned by the federal gov- ernment today that the validity o! Christmas and New Year bon- uses to employees and pay in- creases retroactive beyond Dec. i. would be lorutiniaed for possible disaiiowsnee as income tax de- ductions.

Hon. J. J. McCann, Revenue Minister and acting Labor Minis- ter. announced the N “onal War labor Board would investigate bonuses and raises when request- ed by income tax authorities to determine if they exceed "what is reasonable and normal."

Under the wage deoontroi or- der of Nov. l0, labor Department controls on wage increases after that date were removed. Bow- sver, the Income wai- m Aet continues to permit tea oflicisls to llllh espenses as tax deducti if they are considered out of line for the business car- ried ed by the unpieyer.
