Dcr Musensohn by Schubert where is felt the full pastoral freedom of nature and the spirited anticipation of love\u2019s passion.Meeting a quarter of hi?audience on their own ground, Mr Siepi sang four songs in the Kng-ish language, Sleep and PreLy 1US ranges.That which attracted most Ring Time, both by Peter Warlock, attention .from the dealers was the RD 42, with push button control which cooks by color.The third car displayed washing machines and similar appliances.Although the train was not open to the public, it is believed by General Electric officials that the public will benefit substantially from this novel sales convention technique.Commenting upon the train, E.D.Greene, manager of sales of the major appliance department, who is in charge of the exhibit said: Continued On Page 5 Colorado Trail arranged by Cc-1 Dougherty and I Rise When You Enter by Theodore Chanler, the last of which had a peculiar fascination for the listener with its out-of-the-ordinary melody.Concluding the program was O tu Palermo, from 1 Vespri Sicilian] by Verdi, a perfectly beautiful aria in the deeply felt tone of a patriot whose life is his country and whose intent is the sacrifice of life's blood in a battle that is about to be staged in defence of his beloved Sicily.Continued On Page 5 * WM Busy Year In Court Is Reviewed In Annual Report By J.M.Grégoire / £3 Mrs.B.W.Murray Is Named President At Catholic Women's League Meeting Should a judge he exempt from the provisions of the municipal no parking regulalions?This question was raised at the' regular session of the Sherbrooke City Council last evening and de-Sherb.\u2018eided in the negative without debate.The issue arose over a leller' CGE APPLIANCE TRAIN VISITS SHERBROOKE\tThe from Police Chief Edouard Moi- appliance train, a travi lling exhibition of the product?of (lie eau enclosing a letter from Mr Canadian General Electric Company Ltd., visited Sherbrooke yeslei Justice Louis Philippe Cliche and day.In the upper picture, Gilbert R heaume, president of the Shei delivered to the Police Chief bv brooke Chamber of Commerce, second from tight, is shown eon the Prothosotary of the Superior gratulating A.H.Duchesne, manager of the Sherbrooke branch of ~\t¦\t;

Socialist leader, in a moment of candor blurted out that of course corporations passed their taxes on to the public in higher prices, I he Printed Word comments, which asks: I his being gen crnlly so, why has that party, which always claims the monopoly of concern for the welfare of the consumer, invariably advocate higher and higher corporation taxes and clamored for the réintroduction of an excess _ tax?Of course the Progressive-Conservative caucus that decided It) attack the budget as one for the rich man only was balmy.The purpose is obvious \u2014 to steal the C.C.P.platform that has got Coldwell and Co.further from their Utopia at each election.(Utopia in the Socialist lexicon is power).The erstwhile Conservative party and the C.C.P.both appear to think that the electorate is less intelligent than it is.The Socialists have at least the excuse that they cannot back away from their principles laid down in cold print over 20 years ago.The sound attack on the budget would have been that it did not go far enough, for both the reason Mr.Coldwell gave in an unguarded moment and the reason Mr.Abbott has given, that high corporation taxes arc a drag on the country.The corporation tax is still outrageously high.To point out, as the Liberals have, that it is now under 50 per cent federally, is to say that a man 98 years old is much younger than a man of 100.Extension of the low rate to small corporations (those with taxable profits of $20,000 and less) is in some degree encouragement to small businesses to incorporate.That is to the good, for there arc so many small businesses, and the revenue will suiter little if at all, for the difference between the tax on a shareholder on a salary, and a lax on a proprietorship, is not great.Attacks on tho amazing extravagances of government at a time when citizens arc painfully taxed in every direction should meet with good response.In this, E.!).[\"niton has been particularly effective.Rome did not fall before it was built, 1 his precedent may assure Canada's safety for a time, for the building programme for departmental buildings (complete with dance floors) is just getting under way.For grandeur, Rome will have had nothing on Ottawa.And invaders with evil intent will never stir out of Canadian camps, air stations and naval establishments, for there, if any where on earth, is the life of Riley.It is Hoped a conquering force has no horses to stable in such holy places.Perhaps the most ominous feature of government in Canada is the determination to prevent the public from closely examining public business.Not only has the dirt been swept under the bed, but the opposition has been prevented from taking a peek.TOUGH ENOUGH \u201cLet's get tough.\u201d We often here this said in relation to foreign policy says The Christian Science Monitor, but an American diplomat, George V.Allen, on his way from Yugoslavia to his new ambassadorial post in India add: Let us not lose our idealism in the process.The Monitor adds: Idealism has been under attack lately as a \u201cjuvenile\u201d approach to the problems of promoting the national interest.Many of America's difficulties in the world, as Mr.Allen points out, are ascribed to the activities of soft-headed \u201cdo-gooders\u201d in the field of foreign policy.Actually, idealism is a very tough thing.It rejects both the blustering belligerence and the wishful appeasement that pose as realism.It believes it is to the national interest to \u201cdo good\u201d \u2014 not by starting preventive wars or making dishonorable deals, but by using power for the con-structvie purposes of peace as well as for the grimmer purposes of defense.When the United States helped to save Yugoslavia from famine in 1951 by a bold relief program, its idealism paid off by keeping that country from a collapse which probably would have meant its reabsorption into the Soviet sphere.When Congress hesitated for months in 1951 before sending additional American surplus wheat to famine-threatened India it weakened American prestige in a land where hunger and Red propaganda could be more dangerous than an invading army.Sincere and imaginative diplomacy has since then helped to recoup this propaganda loss in India.If Mr.Allen is able to show the countrymen of Gandhi that his own counrtymen are moved by Ideals deeper and truer than those of the \u201ctough guy,\u201d he will advance the cause of a united front of the soft heart and the hard head a front against weakness within and aggression without.Witches' Brew Washington Column SMARTER U.8.OFFICTAI.S ARE SUV Ol HEPS1 TRUCK MOVES By PETER EPSON NEA Washington Correspondant Washington (NEA) - - Instead of looking for the silver lining in tho cloud of confusion created by Chinese Communist offers to exchange sick and wounded prisoners of war, the smarter American officials am looking for the catch.\u201cOnce bitten, twice .shy.\" seems to be the policy., The United States and the United Nations hit I once» in the spring of 1051, on a Communist offer to negotiate a Korean cease-fire.Dr.Syngman Rhee, the Korean president, warned that it was a trap.Nobody paid any attention.But Dr.Ubee was right.The Communists used the long and bitter two years of negotiations to build up their military strength in Korea and dig in.The war could go on endlessly at ils present tempo, assuming both sides are willing to stand the strain.So now the communists again talk of being willing to conclude a cease fire agreement.Their terms mark acceptance of an offer they rejected last October, when the truce talks were suspend ed.It must be carefully noted, however, that, Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-lai's proposal says specifically: \u201c., .wo !>v no means relinquish the principle | of release and repatriation of war prisoners without delay after the cessation of hostilities .nor do we acknowledge, the assertion of tho United j Nations command that there are among the pris-j oners of war individuals who allegedly refuse repatriation.\" So the Commies are really offering to give up | nothing.Politicians Cheer At Opportunity But again tho wishful thinkers grab at, peace propaganda as though it were something real, j The stock market slides at the news.In Washington there Is great cheer among politicians who see in a cease-fire the opportunity to cut the military budget, cut taxes, bring the hoys home in a hurry, and so win the 1!)54 election.Again President Rhcc warns lhal this may be another trick.Again he declares that no settlement is agreeable to him that does not take the Chinese Communists out of Korea, disarm* the North Koreans and reunite the country.Under his government, of course.And so the world is brought sharply up against the realities of the situation.Conclusion of a cease-fire is a necessary first step.But it will settle nothing permanently, by itself.This was emphasized by the visit to Washing ton of French Premier Rene Mayer.The conv munique issued at the close of his talks with President Eisenhower emphasized the \u201cinterdependence\u2019\u2019 of the Korean and Indo-Chinese wars.On the surface, no two wars could differ more.In Korea is an international war.It is the United Nations against the forces and resources of North Korea, Red China and Soviet Russia.The war in Indo-China is a civil war \u2014 Viêt-Nam against Vict-Minh.The United Nations lias nothing to do with this war.The question of Indo-China is not even on (he UN agenda for discussion, In spite of these differences, the two wars are part, and parcel of the same conspiracy.The U.S.- French communique declares it to he the view of bolh governments that should the Chinese Communists take advantage of a Korean armistice \u201cto pursue aggressive warfare elsewhere in the Far East, such action would have Ihe most serious consequences for the efforts to bring about peace in the world.\" French Feel Talks Settle Nothing The French view is that the war in Indo-China cannot, be settled by negotiation.It can be settled only when the Communist rebels are wiped out or when they voluntarily lay down their arms.The war in Malaya is still a third kind of Communist agitation.It is more than nature of guerrilla banditry than the civil war in Indo-China or tlie international war in Korea.So if a Korean armistice merely gives the Communists an opportunity to exert more pressure elsewhere, this armistice will accomplish little.The terms of Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-lai's broadcast and message to (lie United Nations call for a \u201cpolitical conference at a higher level\u2019\u2019 within three months after signing the armistice.This is Ihe really important conference \u2014 not the cease-fire agreement \u2014 on which most attention should be fixed.In this second conference all the troubles of the Far East may properly be placed on the agenda.If it includes such riddles as the future of Chiang Kai-shek\u2019s government on Formosa or the possible admission of the Chinese Communist government to the United Nations, these negotiations could drag on for another two years, no longer.But until (his second conference is successfully concluded, any curtailment of the U.S.defense effort or any other dropping of the non-I Communist world\u2019s guards might turn out to be : the height of folly.That would be exactly what the Moscow leaders of the non-Communist world would welcome.I r Prom The Pen Of E.T.Writers , KONG OF SPRING HIGHWAY TOLL Dear Sir:- Would you be so kind, a* to print thU letter in your paper in hopes it might rouse a httie interest jn the well-being of those who travel our highways, Tragedy has dealt cruel blow» to Scotstown since early last December.The last was at 3:30 a.m.March 20th, when the west bound Halifax-Montreal express struck a truck on the crossing at the east end of town killing one man and gravely Injuring another.The accidenta on highways are appalling, those on railroad cross, ings are not the least among them and its high time pressure be brought to bear, on the powers that be.to consider human life, at least, on a par with the almighty dollar, A government survey was made between Springhil! and Scotstown for a highway in 133839, a mile north west of Milan Village in.stead of making the turn at the Alex (Boston) Macdonald corner (which has been the scene of many serious accidents!.It followed beyond where St.Luke\u2019s Church stood\u2019 tnen it went through Dell eliminating the three rail-road crossings that are between Milan and Scotstown and coming out in Scotstown near the home of Mrs.Theodule Godin, just west of the crossing which was the scene of the fatality on the 20th.Why the highway wasn\u2019t built on this survey has been more or less of a mystery these past thirteen years, perhaps the next election will clear this up?Do those who worked so hard to get this highway through MacLeod\u2019s Crossing have a feeling they may have contributed towards this sad fatality, we wonder! A very sincere thank you for giving this space in your valuable paper.Signed:\u2014 One who would go all out to abolish railroads crossing highways.Smiling Loser By Richard Bill Wilkinson Kirby found the girl seated on an upturned box behind the stables crying.He hesitated, feeling awkward, then said: \u201cHello.Anything wrong?\" She looked up quickly, appraisingly.\u201cNo, please go away.\u201d Instead, Kirby squatted on his heels.\u201cYou must have lost some money on that last race Black Fox fooled every one by not coming in.1 lost too.\u2019 \"I suppose I\u2019m a baby to cry but I couldn\u2019t help it.I\u2014we-father and 1 staked everything on Black Fox.Then that terrible I\u2019m-a-Runnin\u2019, who nobody thought had a chance, had to win.\u2019\u2019 She hesitated, dabbing at her eyes.He seemed like a nice young man.And she did so want company and to talk.He discovered her name was Polly Hayden.The next day he called at her house and met her father, a jolly faced pld gentleman with white walrus moustaches.\u201cWe really shouldn't feel so badly,\" Polly told her father after \u2022 Mlnuti Fiction There\u2019s a flash of red and a flutter of wings up in nn old oak tree.And the sound of a robin singing his spring time rhapsody.He is Telling the world that spring is here, after the winter so long and so drear He lolls of the beauty of spring time, of bursting bud and flower, Of days that are filled with sunshine, of days that are filled with shower.He bids me to have courage, to welcome each new born day.To look for the silver lining, even tho\u2019 skies are grey.And my heart is filled with gladness and the world looks bright and gay As 1 list lo tho robin red breast singing his cheery lay.There is never a heart so lonely, never a day so long.But might be cheer and brightened by the sound of a robin's song.EMILY MILLAR.Danville, Quo.Jacoby On Bridge By OSWALD JACOBY Press Comments SAD NEWS FOR COMMUNISTS Chatham News To everybody except the communists, the annual report of Harry Pollitt.head of the British com-j munist party, w ill make gratifying reading.Pollitt reports a- total party membership of 35,-671\u2014 which, in a nation of around 50 millions, is nothing much.According to Pollitt.the British communist party has been declining in membership for many years, and the trend is now increasing.Each year there are some new recruits, he states, but the gains from this source are more than offset by the losses of older members.Losses are, in fact, out of all proportion \u201cto the ceaseless activity carried on by our active membership.\u201d As in the United Kingdom, so too in Canada \u2014 | Communism is certainly not gaining, and is prob-I ably losing ground, as the early hopes for the Soviet I system as a new and forward looking experiment in i democracy are crushed by a better understanding j of what it has really become.Figures on Ihe Canadian membership are lack-! ing, but the complete loss of representation in the House of Commons, and the reduced representation in the Provincial Legislatures and in municipal government are eloquent.\t* OVERBID DOESN\u2019T HARM GOOD PLAYER Probably North and South were guilty of overbidding in today\u2019s | hand, but the result was both ! pleasant and instructive.South happened to be Sylvester Lowery! and North was Mrs.Olive Peter-!

Lowery won Ihe first trick with: 1 the ace of spades and looked lor] i a way to justify Ins partner's confidence iii his bidding.He needed a little luck in hearts, but (here: was nothing he could do about that.He needed also to hold the loss in tho minor suits to one trick in each, and there was a great deal to be done about those two suits.Since there was only one entry to the dummy (the ace of clubs) Lowery had to decide whether to try a diamond finesse or a lead towards the queen ot clubs.At first glance, it seems that South should use dummy\u2019s ace of clubs to take a diamond finesse, hoping later to lead a low club and find a doubleton king o£ clubs in the hand of either opponent.Low'ery knew a trick worth two of that.He found a way to use dummy\u2019s only entry for two fi-! nesses.At the second trick declarer led the queen of diamonds from his hand.He expected to find the king of diamonds in the West hand, in which case a finesse against the king would be useless.As you prevent him from finessing against i the jack of diamonds later on.West took the king of diamonds and led the queen of spades, whereupon Lowery ruffed.He ; next led a trump to dummy's ace ; and returned the ten of diamonds ! from dummy.East saw no point in covering with the jack, and there was none.| South could capture the jack with ! the ace and return to the dummy with the nine of diamonds.When the ten of diamonds held.1 declarer was still in dummy and could now lead a club towards his queen.He had thus accomplished his object of using dummy's single entry for two finesses.East might have made things 1 difficult for declarer by playing the jack of clubs, but he actually put up the king.The rest was, of course, merelv routine.CARD SENSE Q\u2014With both sides vulnerable, the bidding has been: West North East South 1 Spade 2 Diamonds Pass ?You, South, hold: Spade 7.Hearts Q-J-3, Diamonds K-7-5-3, Clubs A-Q-6-3-2.What do you do?* NORTH #\t964 3 V 105 4 ?\t10 9 7 *\tA3: WEST A K Q J 10 : V.T96 ?K 5 3 A 10 8 EAST (D> A 87 5 V R 7 2 ?\t.! 8 4 2 *\tK J 9 SOUTH A A tit A K Q 3 ?A Q f, AQ 7 6 5 4 \tNeither side vul.\t\t Fast\tSmith\tWest\tNorth Pass\t1 A\t1 A\tPass Pass\tDouble\tPass\t2 A Pass\t3 V\tPass\t3 N.T.Pass\t4 A\tPass\t5 A Pass\tPass\tPass\t Opening lead\t\t:\u2014A K\t From The Record Files THIRTY YEARS AGO April 8 fell on a Sunday.TWENTY YEARS AGO President Roosevelt is expected to ask Congress for a general tariff reduction in an effort to speed up world economic recovery.TEN YEARS AGO All school commissions in the Province are affected by the government bill establish-i n g compulsory education and abolishing schools fees.Post office officiais are plagued by the number of letters sent without sufficient postage following the recent increase in rates.(ries where women are allowed to vote?A- As a general rule it has been found that women constitute the majority of voters in countries which grant, equal suffrage, A A « Q\u2014To what extent have the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico been explored?A\u2014Only 30 miles have been fully explored.* * ® | Q\u2014How old was President Andrew Johnson when he learned to ! write?!

(he turn-up card either in suit or in denomination.( For example, suppose the turnup card is the queen of hearts.| The first player must discard any heart or any queen.| The game continues in the same j way.Suppose the first player discards the nine of heart.The next player must discard any nine or any heart.And so on.The object of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your hand.! If you can't match the previous | discard in either suit or denomina-| tion, you must draw from the stock pile until you can make a proper play.When the stock pile is exhausted, you must say \u201cPass\" if you ! are unable to match the previous ! discard when your turn comes.: Your turn is then skipped, and the ! other players continue until your : next turn conies.The most important cards in the ! game are the four eights.These : tour cards are wild.When you 1 play an eight it automatically matches the previous discard.You merely state the suit that your eight represents (the actual suit Answer to Previous Puzzle HORIZONTAL 3\t-of hay 4\tCommand 5\t-of (lour 1 Farm building 5 Another\t.farm building ^ Rocky ridges 9 Mamma hog\tcl,y on the farm ® L ^ [ .12\tScent\t9\tSplashed 13\tThe farm is inheraldic band n nn.,i ___ 11\tFarmer s foe 14\tPrior (prefix) .^Interstice 15\tHighwayman Solemn 17\tMalt beverage\" fampîf , 18\tSenior\t24\tFarm land 19\tBrowned bread 21 Network J\to\tV\tC\tE\t\t\t\t\tB\t\t\tR\tE\t\tE\tc\tA\t«.\tT\tE U\tA\tNN\t\tS\tr\tA\tR\tK.\t\tB\te\tc?s\tT\tA\tR\t\t6\tA\tG\t\t\tE\tR\ts\\ \tE\trsi\t1\tC?\t\tR\tE\tp*\tA\tC*\tS\t \t\t\tf=>\tt\tT\t\u2019\tR\tA\tIN\t\t\t \t\t\tæ\tIN\tE\t\tS\t1\tNi\t\t\t \tE\tR\trsi\te\te\tT\t\tU\tu\tR\tE\t A\tL\tEE\t\t\tT\tO\tE\t\tL.\te\tR\tR R\tA\tNN\t\ts\tE\tR\tV\tE\t\tA\t\tA R\t1\tO\tT\tE\tR\t\tt\tC?\t\t&\to\ts i\tN\tT\tE\tR\tS\t\tL.\t1\tN\te\tR\t\u20225 S\tE\tEE\t\t\u20223\t\t\t\tT\tE\tR\tE\tE 31 Try 33 Nickname 35 One who disorders 40 Mortar and 23\tFortune 24\tBe sick 27 Hops\u2019 kiln 29 Thrash 32 Fish baskets 34 Come forth 36\tRue 37\tSea nymph 38\tFirst farm 39\tHeroic poetry 41\tSpeck 42\tDress stone 44 Gaelic 46 Saves 49 Run away to marry 53\tEggs 54\tConstruction parts 56\tCourtesy-title 57\tLeer 58\tDisgusted exclamation 59\tFurtive 60\tRow 61\tHireling VERTICAL 1\tPainful 2\tSacred image measure 25\tAngered 26\tTraditional - 28 Singing voice 43 Local court 30 Exchange\t(Eng.) premium 45 Run together 46\tFlag-maker, Betsy- 47\tWicked 48\tWise men.50\tRowing tools 51\tDesign 52\tItalian city 55 Before (contr.) 1\ti\t%\tM\t\t5\t6\t1\tÔ\t\t\t0\t\t1 i\"L\t\t\t\t\t13\t\t\t\t\t14\t\t\t IS\t\t\t\t16\t\t\t\t\t\t17\t\t\t1 '8\t\t\t\t\t\t14\t\t\t20\t\t\t\t \t\t\t21\t\tn\t\t\t33\t\t\t\t\t ZM\tIS\tZi,\t\tn\t\t\t3\t\tzs\t\t30\t\t\\ 1 31\t\t\t53\t\t\t\u201cr\t34\t35\t\t\t\t\tJ 36\t\t\t\t\t\t\t37\t\t\t\t\t\tJ ?s\t\t\t\t\t39\t40\t\t\t\t41\tu\t\t \t\tV.\t\tH3\t!\tH9\t\t\tH5\t\t\t\t 4fc\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t49\t\t50\ts\t\tsi ! 53\t\t\t\t5H\t\t\t55\t\t\t\t\t\tj St,\t\t\t\t51\t\t\t\t\ti*\t\t\t\tl 59\t\t\t\tto\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \u201cWe\u2019U buy another horse, won\u2019t we\u2014vve both love horses, ! don\u2019t we?\" 1 Ihe introductions were over.\u201cKir-1 by lost a lot more than we and he j isn\u2019t complaining at all.\u201d That night Polly and Kirby had dinner at a little inn out on the Tamiami trail.He knew she was wondering when and how he was going to \u2019 pay his racing debts, and where he I was going to get the money to : establish himself in the law business.You just can\u2019t hang out a ! shingle in Miami and expect business at once.! But he didn't offer the informa-\u2018tion.The next day he hired an of-! fice on Flagler street, then called up Col.Stratton and asked that (racing enthusiast to meet him at Hialeah.| \u201cColonel,\u201d he said over a sand-j wich and coffee an hour later, \u201cI'm going to take you up on the offer you made me for I\u2019m-a-Runnin\u2019.(lie\u2019s yours for S50.00Q.\u2019\u2019 The colonel stared, \u201cNow wait | a minute, Kirby.Has the horse died or broken a leg or something?\u201d \u201cNothing of the sort,\u201d Kirby laughed.\u201cI\u2019m quitting racing for good.It\u2019s no business for an energetic young lawyer to be wasting his time at.I hired an office this morning.\u201d They went out to the stables and [looked at Tm-a-Runnin'.The colo-nel couldn't understand it, but he ; wrote his check for S50.000 and the papers were passed.Conscious : of a queer sensation in the pit of his stomach.Kirby headed back tor I the stables for a last farewell.Out-jside Fm-a-Runnin\u2019s stall he stopped dead still at sight of Polly !
