In a few moments he had grown in big as Blacky the Crow. whom iyoung Bob knew very well, and who was at that time the biggest of the feathered folk with whom the young quail was acquainted. Down, and down, and down, came Redtail. And bigger, and bigger and bigger he became. Young Bob became afraid. He forgot that so far no one had been able to get into that wire pen. He crept under the little pile oi brush in one corn- er. Such great wings this visitor from up in the blue. blue sky had! He hadn't dreamed that there was anyone with such big wings.

Canadian Press Sh" Writer LONDON (CP)-The question of increased old age pensions shapes up as a major domestic issue In British politics. The government has proclaimed that the increases are coming, and that there will be an announce- ment before Christmas. Opposition members are not satisfied, how- ever. and Thursday the Labor sha- dow cabinet announced it will table a motion censuring the gov- ernment for delay. Deputy oppositim leader Herbert Morrison asked during a debate in the House Monday whether the government was holding up the in- creases to coincide with a general election. Pensions Minister Osbert Peake denied this. lle said he could prom- ise nothing before Christmas but the government was planning "the biggest and boldest” pension op- eration ever undertaken.
