in the right direction. Twice. the singing in the smiling Pool stopped. When the singers stopped ing. Old Mr. Toad stopped hopping. Then there was no sound to guide him. But it was more than that that caused him to stop. He knew from long experience what that sudden silence meant. It meant danger. so Old Mr. Toad stopped. The danger might not be near him. but the wise thing to do was to make sure. i

"It's a silly Toad who take chances." Old Mr. Toad would say to himself. Of course he was right. what a pity it is that so many bcys and girls and older folks too. are like silly Toads instead oi wise ones.

Pretty soon the singing began again. The minute he heard the first voice in the Smiling Pool. off went Mr. Toad. hop. hop, hop. hippiiy hop. Sometimes he had foolish wishes. sometimes he wish- ed he could Jump up in the air and look ahead. Sometimes he wished he had long legs on which he could stand up to look over the grass. Then again he would be very glad he didn't have. It was a great deal easier to keep out of eight with

With diamonds bid on his right and clubs on his left, West decid- ed that he would chose a major suit opening. and selected his top heart.

Dummy's heart ten. was put in to cover West's eight, and when East played the queen. South took the trick. Perhaps he hoped that he could win a second trick in the suit by leading toward the J-5 That, however, was a forlorn hope. When South knocked out the dia- mond ace -- he couldn't even hope for nine tricks without doing 'so - West continued with his heart seven. and East ran off four heart tricks to defeat the contract.

It is evident that South did not pay much attention to the precise heart opened by West. The moment East could cover the ten with a higher card. south could tell that the eight was not a fourth-highest lead. If it had been. West's suit would have to be K-Q-9-ll. with or without lower cards. Thus. the lead was almost certainly the "top of nothing," and there was a strong probability that East had the heart length.

Acting on this logical reading. South should have let East hold the first trick with the heart queen. If East returned a heart from his marked king. South would of course duck again and win in dum- my: and if East returned any other suit. south would have ample time to clear his diamonds while keep- ing control of hearts.

MONDAY

Two young children were infur- ed. one seriously. in two accidents yesterday involving automobiles. In the first on the. M ' , Road, near St. must I Univer- sity. little six-year-old Susanne Johnston, da hter ol Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Johnston, suffered a broken leg and a fractured collar-bone when struck by a car near her home.

The car was driven by Mr. Anson Mu.-Laughlin. Wimloe, who appar- ently did everything possible to avoid hitting the little girl who was rejn-ted to have run in front of the car. Mr. Msclaughlin drove the car into an embankment and it is reported completely wrecked. The girl is being treated at the Prince Edward Island Hospital.

Also a. patient in the same hos- pital is Master Maurice Mccabe. 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Me-. Cabe. Alexandra. While drivlngghis bicycle almost directly opposite his own driveway, he was struck by a car driven by a Mr; Vickerson. Charlottetown, and thrown lo the pavement. At first thought to be suffering from a fractured skull, it was believed late last night that his head injuries are only minor ones.

More than one hundred members of the Canadian Legion stepped off smartly in parade Sunday morn- ing from the Legion Home to the music of the nth P. E. I. Reece band. to attend Divine Service. The parade was under command of Legion President, 0. M. Sinclair.

This "V-E Day Memorial Serv- ice". has become an annual obli- gation, designed to. keep forever green the memory of comrades who "have gone before." The parade was halted at the war monument on Queen's Square, where a wreath was placed in memory of fallen comrades. after which the Provincial Command chaplain. Major T. E. Macblutt. read from the poet Lawrence Binyon, "They shall Grow Not Old.” This was followed by the "Last Post". sounded by Cpl. Frank Smith.

Over the week end the new six hundred foot well on Central street at the base of the stand pipe was connected to the main line feeding into the town water sup- ply. Thc cut-in took place yester- day morning at about eleven o'clock and during the afternoon a number of citizens. at the invi- tation of Water Commissioners Leigh Stewart and Robert Dewar. were invited to view the recently installed Byron Jackson pump which pumps the water from this well into the main reservoir. Meurs. Ivan Monk. of the Rail- way Power and Engineering Com- pany of Montreal who are Byron Jackson pump distributors for Canada and R..J. Hooper, super- intendsni. of Trask Well Co. Mari- time distributors. were on hand yesterday to oversee the out-in of the water. i This well now feeds lab Imperial aailons of water to the standpipe Der hour and is powered by an el- ectric motor. a

Sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning. the waste-gate holding back the water that forms Crapaud mill pond was un- expectedly swept away.

As far as could be learned yes-

terday no one in the area knew what had happened until the next morning when daylight revealed that the wooden waste-gate through which passed the main overflow of water. had been car- ried about 50 feet down stream from its original position in the mill dam. The great gap caused in the dam quickly allowed the large reservor of water to flow in the sea. leaving only a big muddy looking list. that had shortly before been one of the most pic- turesque ponds on the island.

The flow of water also curled away ll large stock of trout that made this one of the finest fish- lng spots that could be located.
