' Some time ago American Con- greumen took a vote on the ques- tiom-"Do you think lotteries sim- "ilar to the Irish l-iopital Sweep- stakes, and conducted only for charity, should be allowed in the United Slates?" The answers were "Yes" for over 55%. "No" for 32%. and over 12% were indiffer- ent, not caring how to answer- but they stili all sing, "God Bless America." How can l-lis blessing be bestowed with such a blight ‘on the Country? Everywhere in Canada also, and in most insidious ways, lotteries lcome to our very doors. At a summer resort, where there are many true Christians, no one was willing to have a slot ma- chine removed, lest “the store- kceper should take offence." In a n o t h e r beautiful countryside, many were charmed by attractive music from a passing car-but as it slowly passed, the sign and ob- ject were plain "50 cents on a draw for this car." "What Obie!‘- tions can you have," is asked, "if the proceeds no to religious pur- poses?" The need never justifies the means. Lotteries and gambling are a blight. Don't lot indiffer- ence be our excuse. "To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is a sin," Respebtfuliy, Catharina C. King. SHOE-T STORY CONTEST The Executive of the Ontario W. C.

Fornaiaro, of Regina Jail Staff, addressed the delegates on the rehabilitation of a prisoner affected by alcohol. "Drunken- ness is an old problem," ha said. "and all methods have failed. and while we acted in good faith, sometimes we had not much vision. We grew concerned nbout- those who suffer. and ignored the drink- er, but. ‘that didn't work. Today we see drinking and drunkenness as more of a warning of trouble, than trouble itself.

The union's national headquart- ers said also in a prepared mete- ment that it has also called upon doolters’ affiliates o! the _Worid Maritime Federation in foreign ports to end the boycott against Canadian ships which the 0.8 U sought several months ago. The union said one of the rea- sons for calling off the strike was "the continued persecution of the scazmn by the Government who had refused to pay unemployment insurance to seamen in an effort tr. starve thorn into submission." T e strike was called March 3i by he allegedly Communist-lee union when it learned that thr Shipping Federation of Canad had signed with the rival Seafar ers’ International Union (AIL) low Water in Canal’ Delays Slipping MONTREAL, Oct.

Chapter XIV John Baldwin's state of chronic and growingly manifest arthritis, which slowed ‘him down im- measurably, was responsible for what had become Sierras regular habit of dining at her father's house on Wednesday evenings. These evenings had come to be somewhat precious tradition to sierra, and she would not have admitted, even to herself. that tho rason she so seldom pressed the inclusion of_ Kitty or Oharlottenburg at these weekly forcgatherings was because. "b ‘ them. the? frc- quentiy offered her a. half-hour or so of quiet talk with Oliver alone. This usually happened about nine-thirty o'clock. when her father. after en hour or so of cards. pitched beck his chair because cf a. fatigue he could not control. Mom about then. inexplicable and somewhat frightening to a man who in the first sixty-five years of his life had never known a. day in bed, this sudden fatigue came down over Baldwin. blanching him with palior. Impeccebiy attentive to his wcii- being, Leonora would push a chair back also. end follow him to his room. The routine thereafter iiet’. pl ision.

Iven Oliver's inven- ebiy proffered escort to ‘lwesity- one East was refused with like invsriebiiity becetue of that same duality, thin el e hairline, that lay acroee the design u Lennon's attitude. Oliver wee not to escort sierra heme? Hebe no mistake ebout that. Ali of this. along with the benign qualities which ueonoro bed it'l- etilled illle the to greet Sierra every time she en- tered it these Wednesday even- ings. Wood fires smelled. The hallways, which had been per- ennially chilly in a house diffi- cult to heat, contained soft warmth and hint of the perfumes of Leonora. Stairs that had rcsounded from insufficient pad-ding beneath carpeting were newly covered and recorded no footsteps. In an um- brella. stand beside the hatrack, Oliver's canes gave off their cx- citing suggestion of his presence. The Wednesday evening following Kitty's drive in the park with Elsie Tweed, Oliver was in tho act of placing one of these Malacca canes in the stand as Sierra entered. He had changed not too per- ceptibiy during these years of Leonores marriage to Baldwin. Except for the clean-shaved upper lip. where once had been the clipped hedge of mustache, and which if anything had the effect of making him appear younger, the years hau‘ started no erosive processes upon that straight slim body. The Small tering of gray in blond hair W118 scarcely noticeable; the planes of the race, austercly thin, were fiat and hard as boards. Despite the lsssitude with which he relaxed back against life as if it were his armchair, you hadthc feeling that Oliver, so effete. fitted badly into this background of stability and permanence. Encountering Oliver in the hali- way in this manner was contrary to the established precedent of these Wednesday evenings. Usually by the time Sierra. in day clothes, arrived at the punctual hour of seven, he was already established with Leonora and John Baldwin beside the library fireplace. "Why, Oliver, isn't this late for you!" inquired Sierra, unwinding her mannish muffler. which she wore in lieu of the rich assortment of furs. including sable and chin- chiila, which she but inherited. from her mother and peesed on to Florence.
