It was a good place for romping-through the rooms and up the attic stairs. She tucked Koula in. The night was cool for early September. This wasn't the warm rain of summer. "Good night. darling," she said. and Koula put. up her arms for the hug. "Pancho can't get wet," Diego medltatcd. “His place doesn't leak." "Mercy, no," she said. "We wouldn't let Pancho get ivet."

Well, she had things to turn to tonight. She hadn't gone through her desk. She tried to be businesslike about it. She mustn't think. She looked through bills, wrote some checks. Herc were the receipts for work done on the house this summer. She worked swiftly, and then, in the drawer she opened, way at the back she came upon a. thin packet of letters tied with blue ribbon. She sat holding them. What ovould she do with them’! Untie thm tear them to pieces and throw them in the wastebasket with other discarded things? These letters- torn to bits?

Ont. Listed among the "greats".a.re Enrico Caruso, Moran and Mack. correll and Gosden (Amos ‘n’ Andy). Al Jolson. the Hayden Quartet and victor Herbert. Their recorded music and voices are listed in the valuable collection of old recordings. all of them cut from 20 to 50 yieiirs ago, which are owned by the program director 0d.’ CKCR, Ed Manning. The old records are heard half an hour a week in "Let's Roll Hank the Years"-bciievcd to be the only program of its tyrpe in Canada. Manning's collection recalls many other names famous on oonoc-t hall billboards and record labels. He says he began the collection at the age or four-and has a letter to Santa Claus to prove it. Since then he has gathered wax- ings of the work of such famous artists as Sir Harry Launder, Lilli- an Russell, Weber and Fields. Ade- lina Patti and Charles Dkalmainc. All of these arc broadcast again, to stir memories oi’ oldsters and awaken wondcrincnts among young- or listeners raised on a diet of crooners and swing bands. Another hobby has branched out from Manning's record collecting. He is secretary of the Pioneer Re- cording Artists and Admirers Club. The club was formed years ago by John, Bieling, first tenor of the famous Haydon Quartet, to get to- gether the surviving recording pioneers. The club was broadened to include admirers, and that was -where Manning crime in. Now he and his CKCR program are adding to the numbers of admirers of the old recording artists. CAIFTIVIJ LISTENERS The question of whether travel- lers cun be subjected to music and advertising waited from loudspeak- ers on radio-equipped street-cars buses and trains, is still a hot issue in the United States. . The public utilities commission oi the District of Columbia. ruled the idea iras all right for Washington commuters. It decided thnt rndio reception in street-cars and buses wouldn't be dangerous to their operation and decided that it “tends to improve the condition under which the public rides." So "music while you ririe" spread through some 1.300 public con- veyances in the District o! Colum- bin. But the battle isn't ended. A lawyer who is opposing the Wash- ington plan said that bus and street-car riders had ho choice about. listening to the programs—or the advertising-and therefore were a “captive audience." Apart from the advertising bene- fits, there's the question of the DUblWS 800d will. New York City's Grand Central Terminal, which beamed broadcasts at commuters shuttling through its rotundns. put an end to the experiments respite a $90,000-a-year revenue from the scheme. New York commuters had risen in arms against what they felt was an invasion of their privacy. They couldn't get away from the broadcasts-had no choice between music and silence, Grand Central ended the broadcasts in order to keep good ivill. which was 3p- parently worth more than $90,000 a. year. morning she would just hurry away. This was good-by. She thought of the long past this house had known. some of it must have been good. Those kind people- Grandiather and Grandmother Chippman, who took in the lost girl and said. “As much as John is our boy you are our girl." Thcy are my grandparents. shc thought; and then remembered-no, they aren't. Who arc her grandparents? There was one called Papa who sang "Now Hoist Her High~Up to the Sky." She would lliive liked him. she ivas sure; and Mama. who never ivantcd her children to he afraid. She didn't even know their name. And hcr own father-she didn't knnw his name or what manner of man he was. She didn't. know whore he came from. Where he went. whether he now walked the earth or was in his grave. She had come into the kitchen, put the lamp and snt at the table. She had seemed to have more feel- ing about. the past than any of them. It had always seemed beauti- flu to hcr that today opened from l Dust that had made ‘us, and whenever she came to know little ings about those who were gone, ose who had been before her. she was pleased and they seemed close to hcr. she would think, I am because they have been. Shout on there, hearing the nin, wondering if it would stop before tomorrow thinking how it was falling also up there on the hill. beating upon grave! of people who had once lived in this house. Perhaps it didn't matter much who she was. Finally we all be- come ea one. Only, it was a little lonely, not knowing who was your father. She had always felt some- thing comforting in just the idea of a father caring for his child. "Al e father comiorteth his child -" those bad been beautiful words to her.

Get-rich-Iquick smuggling trips across the English Channel have turned peaceful coves and fishing villages on the south and east coasts into thriving smuggling centres. But the customs men's "loot" has increased accordingly. and is to be put up for sale soon. The jewelry, gold cigaret cases. watches, liquors, cameras, fur coats, and nylons lifted from hun- drcds of men and women who have made smuggling their post- war profession will fetch o. bigger amount than ever for the British treasury. During the last 12 months the courts have imposed penaiities o1 223.650 pounds ($693,000), con- victed 2.905 smugglers, and sent 50 to jail. In 194"! fines amounted to 111,150 pounds. Last year the British customs seized 31.008 consignments, includ- ing 19,857 pounds of tobacco and 1,204 gallons of spirits. In i948. 24.624 lots were confiscated against 22.489 in 1947 and b81542 in 194B. Ringleaders of the new gangs of get-rich-quick adventurers, seek- ing fat profits by running highly- taxed or prohibited goods rarely get caught. They use stooges, many of them ex-servioe officers, men who have found themselves rest- less after the war, and now smug- gle because of the adventure. To curb the serious increase in illegal trade between Britain and the continent. the customs want. the courts to inflict fines equi- valent to three times the value cf captured articles. plus duty and purchase tax, Use Ivar Knowledge More widespread knowledge of navigation, gained during the war. has led more smugglers to take to the sea. Many operate from the south of France. They collect goods frcm Tangier and run them to a rendezvous off the Italian coast. Many carry arms to be used aizriinst competitors. One customs official said: "We are hack almost to the days of the 1850s. There is a great deal of piracy among the smugglers. “But instead of sailing craft stealing into isolated spots. smuq- glers are using fast launches to run from coast to coast under the cover of darkness. "The stuff they bring in is no longer stowed away in caves along the enlist ns it was in the old days. but; it ls whisked off in trucks immediately it is landecL" Smugglers find it more di'fir'ult to approach the British coast. The revenue cruiser vigilant is fitted with the latest developments in radar. From secluded coves o'- fir-crs ivaich on her radar screen the movements of even the small- est craft for several miles. Sb here the dodge is to use smartly-dressed men and women carrying the contraband in false- bottomed suitcases or to build com- pnrtm cnts inside cars ferried across the channel. Hundreds of imitation pearl necklaces sewn into the lining of a man's waistcoat were seized when customs searched an over-stout passenger, One smuggler came in carrying a 5.000 pound diamond in a false eye. ‘3; 5.. f“ - » //\ lodlzed Block- Currant Paslllloe "W 9“. reliable remedy new scion". lull! loumllehd II ‘breed c poem!"
