to crush the Axis powers, but would not say when, if it ail, he would reenter the conference picture.Mr.King, who left Ottawa Christmas Day with a party of colleagues and advisers, returned on the special train which brought Prime Minister Winston Churchill for a brief Ottawa visit.While in Washington Mr.King had ; several talks with President Roose-j velt and Mr.Churchill, and partiel-] pated in the British Empire section ; of the war conference.There was no official statement on either the outcome of Friday and Saturday meetings in Washington, nor on the future place of Canada in the discussions.Mr.King\u2019s visit to Washington had a two-fold purpose.The primary reason of his going there was to take] part in the meeting of British Do-] minions representatives directed by! Mr.Churchill and President Roose-] velt Saturday afternoon.But the sudden descent of Free; French naval forces on St.Pierre-\u2019 Miquelon on Christmas Eve, and the consequent protests of the United States Government, adde ' another subject to the discussions.It was unofficially reported that! the Dominion did not propose to take Oontinued on Page 2, Col.3 Canada Welcomes Empire Statesman m m Automobile Is Struck By C.N.R.TrainAtCrossing m /m,\t¦ ¦ m B\t¦¦¦¦n Victims of Tragedy Were Returning Home from Dmmmond-ville Early this Morning When Collision Occurred \u2014 Investigation to Be Conducted by C.N.R.Authorities and Inquest into Crash Held.\t., n , \u2014\u2014 ^\t_______South Durham], Dec.29.ME SETTLES QUESTION OF ISLANDS RULE The people of Canada are proud and happy today to bid welcome to the Right Hon.Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain, who has travelled from Washington lo spend two days in the National Capital.While in Ottawa Mr.Churchill will stay at Government House, the guest of the Governor-General and Princess Alice.One of the main items on his official programme, while in the Dominion, will be his address before a joint meeting of Senate and House of Commons at three o\u2019clock tomorrow afternoon.In the above photograph the Prime Minister, in a jovial mood, gives the Allied \u201cV for Victory\u201d sign as he leaves the U.S.Senate after his historic address before an informal joint session of Congress.Left to right are: Col.Edwin Halsey, Secretary of the U.S.Senate, Churchill, Rep.Luther Johnson and Senator Charles McNary, Majority of 98.2 Per Cent of St.Pierre-Miquelon Residents Reportedly in Favor of Free French.St.Fieri., Dee.29.\u2014(/P)\u2014A plebiscite showing a 9'8.2 per cent margin for Gen.Charles de Gaulle has \u201cdefinitely established\u201d the matter of Free French rule over St.Pierre-Miquelon, the Free French information bureau said last night.The bureau announced the final vote as: Free French, 783; void; 216; collaboration with the Vichy Government, 14.An expedition aboard four corvettes arrived Christmas Eve.and ousted the Vichy-appointed regime on the islands.The plebiscite was held immediately.(The United States called the Free French act \u201carbitrary\u201d and in London Free French headquarters announced there would be an \u201cexchange of views\u201d between Gen.de Gaulle and interested\u2019 Allied governments on diplomatic questions involved in the occupation.)

assaults of oar enemies.THE EASTERN COMMAND CHANGES The announcement on Saturday that General Sir Henry Pownall has arrived in Singapore to direct the British campaign in the Far East will go far to allay anxiety and still criticism of developments to date, but it is also clear that Australia will be content with nothing less than a full voice in the conduct of the war.The speeches of Australian political leaders and the tone of editorial comment in the press reflect a feeling undoubtedly widespread in the Commonwealth that Australia\u2019s views on Far Eastern strategy prior to Japan\u2019s attack had been brushed aside by the Churchill Government in London and that there was, and still is, a tendency to regard the Far East as a sideshow to the main theatre of war in the West.Singapore is the core and kernel of Australian security, and its loss is unthinkable.Australia agreed to abrogation of the old Anglo-Japanese alliance on the agreement that Singapore would be turned into an impregnable fortress and naval base, with an adequate fleet based on it.In the Australian view, Singapore is a focal point in the struggle against the Axis from an offensive as well as defensive point of view.It is therefore understandable that Britain\u2019s early reverses in the Eastern war, particularly the realization that a fourth of Malaya has been lost in twenty days, have caused consternation in the Southern Dominion, where the optimistic declarations prior to December 7 of Alfred Duff Cooper, British Cabinet representative at Singapore, and of Sir Robert Brooke-Popham, tire Commander-in-Chief, are recalled.The removal of Sir Robert Brooke-Popham, although decided on before Japan entered the war, was described Saturday by Australia\u2019s Prime Minister of the First Great War, Rt.Hon.W.M.Hughes, as \u201cbelated recognition by those in authority of unfitness and incompetence.\u2019\u2019 Prime Minister John Curtin indicates that Australia is going to appeal to President Roosevelt over London\u2019s head of necessary, \u201c1 make it clear that Australia looks to America free from any pangs about our traditional links of friendship to Britain,\u201d Mr.Curtin is quoted as saying in expressing a determination to make America the \u201ckeystone\u201d of Pacific strategical plans.Mr.Curtin is irritated partly because his suggestion before the Pacific war that Russia be approached with regard to an anti-Japanese agreement was \u201cwrongly regarded (in London) as premature.\" But the criticism is not limited to the Labor Government.Mr.Hughes is Deputy Leader of the Opposition.Sir Keith Murdock, the prominent Australian publisher, is on record a?saying the Churchill Government would fall if Singapore were lost JAPAN'S SHIPPING POSITION Japan is losing troop and supply ships at the rate of more than one a day, which is fast enough to reduce her merchant marine to insignificance in two years if losses go unchecked in the Pacific naval war of attrition.United States and Netherlands army, navy and air reports for the first three weeks of the war list twenty-six Japanese merchant vessels as sunk or seriously damaged by submarines or air attacks in Philippine, Borneo and Malayan waters despite heavy naval and air escort.Although Japan has twenty-three shipyards with sixty-nine berths for construction of large craft, lier steel resources are limited and building facilities are believed to be far below what would be necessary to make up for even half of such a rate of loss.At the start of the war Japan\u2019s merchant fleet was third largest in the world, trailing those of Britain and the United States.In sea-going vessels of 2,000 tons or more it consisted of 898 ships of 4,754,699 gross tons.Of these, 717 were freighters, 132 were combination passenger-cargo ships, forty-nine were tankers and two were primarily refrigerated cargo vessels.Britain had 2,644 ships of 16,806,379 tons and the United States had 1,150 ships of 7,078,909 tons.More important than the actual tonnage figures, however, was the American and British shipbuilding capacity.During the First Great \\Var American 1 > yards reached a rate of construction equivalent to 6,000,000 tons a year and the British building came to about half that rate.Present programmes call for a similar effort, with completion in the United States of 1,200 new ships of about 13,200,000 gross tons by 1943.Japan\u2019s biggest year in merchant ship bunding since the last war was 1937, when she turned out.180 vessels of 100 tons or more, a total gross tonnage of 451,121.TIMELY COMMENTS PRESS COMMENTS KEEP \u2019EM DOWN THE MIDDLE When a person is polite enough to ask you how you are feeling, bore r im by telling him.\u2014St.Louis Star-Tirnes, SECRET OF YOUTH By Grenville Kleiser The wider one\u2019s interests, the wider one\u2019s circle of friends.The Greek scholar who cares for nothing outside Euripides and Aeschylus is limited; when be meets the farmer, the stockbroker, the musician, the pedler, he has nothing to say, no common meeting-ground.But the man who loves nature; knows Greek drama and who also knows something of great music; who takes a keen interest in questions of the day; who thinks, widely and deeply, of matters of universal and permanent value; he not only has a mind which is rich in itself, but also lias much to give and much to receive from men of all tastes, classes, creeds and occupations.There are some people who, in middle life, are fixed in everything.If they have been used to playing auction bridge, they will not learn the newer form of contract; if they are accustomed to the old form of cinema, they dislike the new \u201ctalkies.\u201d If they are used io certain foods, certain hours, certain company, certain tastes, they find no pleasure or comfort in a different way of life.Whatever their age, these people are old; their minds have stopped working creatively.They do not really think; they act on the impulse born of custom.Again, there are some who, at fifty, at sixty, at seventy even, are as alert, as ready to adapt themselves to new ways, to compare them intelligently with the old, to take new views, grasp new ideas, as if they were still in the springtime of life, differing only from youth in the added richness of experience and the power of forming a mature judgment.How much fuller and deeper is life to them than it is to the settled people who never change, never think, never move! They, like the maidens in the Greek legend, have discovered the fountain of perpetual youth.Variety in mental diet is like variety in food.Some things there are which must always, remain staples of mental nourishment; some which form a pleasant change, which serve lo bring a relish to the permanent, solid groundwork.As a laborer may season his bread with cheese or jam or pickles, so bringing variety to a meal whose foundation remains unchanged, so it should he with mental diet.Keep the big things, the solid things, the enduring things; but admit, alongside with these, a variety of smaller, less important, changing interests.No sane man would try to live entirely on jam or cheese and omit the bread; no intelligent person should try to occupy his mind only with the light and passing pleasures of life without linking them up with those delights which endure.Yet, it would be a mistake to leave out the chance of a relish and adhere stolidly to dry bread; so it is a mistake to ignore entirely the light, charming, amusing things around you.Have room in your life for everything that has a value; only, learn to assess values rightly.That dense silence is the combined voices of the prophets who \u201cknew that Japan was only bluffing.\u201d\u2014 Stratford Beacon-Herald.Ontario has not had an apprentice r,;, stem for 30 years but the war is about to remedy that industrial lack.\u2014London Free Press.\u201cIf it isn\u2019t the sheriff, it\u2019s the finance company.I\u2019ve got more attachments on me than a vacuum cleaner.\u201d\u2014John Barrymore.A Quisling is just a Norse of a different color.-\u2014Toronto Star.Perhaps the Russian army didn't hear tli :t Berlin broadcast declaring they had collapsed.\u2014Toronto Telegram.EDITOR\u2019S NOTE-BOOK The Red Cross already is on the job in Hawaii\u2014- cleaning up after the double cross.* * * A short walk every day is fine for your health\u2014 if you don\u2019t get run over.* * * We\u2019ve learned at last what is to become of the younger generation they will grow up.* * ¦* It\u2019s easy to tell a reckless driver -but he won\u2019t listen.« * « Shortage of wool may cut the amount available for civilian use.That\u2019s where our old suits will shine.* * * AH people acting foolish really aren\u2019t acting.Two stages of inflation: You start with a shoestring and make a million; you need the million to buy a shoestring.\u2014Miami Herald.Real pork chops appeared on a table in a recent movie.Even a Hollywood budget can\u2019t afford lamb chops or sirloin these days.\u2014Christian Science Monitor.When things are not going to bis liking Hitler is said to get down on the floor and bite the edge of the carpet.Just chewing the rag.\u2014Fort Erie Times-Review.Some of these auto fiends would! accuse the oil controller of rcisponsi-bility for empty lamps of the foolish virgins in Holy Writ.\u2014Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph.Snoring in an air-raid shelter brought a Londoner a seven-day jail sentence.An air-raid shelter apparently is not an Englishman\u2019s castle.\u2014Buffalo Courier-Express.HAVE A SMILE A clergyman recently engaged with another in a controversy regarding some question of theology, sent to a newspaper a long article supporting his side of the question.The manuscript had been set up in type for the, next day\u2019s issue.About midnight the journal\u2019s telephone rang furiously; it was the minister who wanted the editor.\u2018T am sorrv to trouble you at such a late hour,\u201d he said, \u201cbut l am in great trouble.\u201d \u201cWhat can I do for you?\u201d was asked, \u201cIn the article I sent you today I put Daniel in the fieny furnace.Please take him out and put him in the lion\u2019s den.\u201d A.R.P.first- aid post.The staff were so keen that the thought of ghosts didn\u2019t worry them.On the first night the nurse on duty heard strange noises in the corridor.Opening the door, she saw a spectral figure with its head tucked underneath its arm.\u201cDear, dear!\u201d she exclaimed brightly.\u201cHow ever did that happen ?Come inside and we\u2019ll see what we can do.\u201d FORGOTTEN SIDE Family Herald and Weekly Star The Right Honorable W.L.Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, held a press conference ihe other d:y.That is news! No other allied staitesman has got \u2014and earned\u2014the reputation of being so aloof as Mr.King.Yet, au your editor sat through that conference\u2014probably the most influential and representative gathering of the Press ever held in Canada \u2014 he wondered and wondered WHY Mr.King kept himself so secluded.Mr.King ha.s never made any claims to the Spellbinder\u2019s crown.He is probably suspicious of \u201cglamor\u201d and is certainly not in sympathy with the \u201cdramatic.\u201d Yet, even as a popular leader, he made on the hardest boiled audience which could be imagined, the Publishers and Editors of Canada, proved conclusively that he has real points outside the Council Chamber as well as in.Common Canadians want to know their leader better.They have a right to know him better when tney are asked to trust him so fully and follow him so far.It would seem that Mr.King, one of the poorest publicity men among world statesmen, simply does not know those aspects of his character which would appeal to ordinary Canadians, or does not know how to use them.Mr.King would be the first to endorse the principle that in this time of crisis he owes Canada every quality and every talent he possesses.So, if he can remove that dangerous threat to our unity and our war effort, which conies from lack of personal inspiration from our leaders, he owes it to Canada, to us and to himself, to do so.Two Home Guards, in full uniform.entered a hotel lounge and called for drinks.Tile waiter supplied them and remarked beamingly that they were paid for.\u201cAnd whom have we to

he replied, \u201cbut that sign wasn\u2019t there then.\u201d And he pointed to a notice which read : \u201cDANGEROUS CORNER.GO SLOW.\u201d With a brisk, efficient air, the suburban resident picked up his gasmask and donned his coat and hat.\u201cWell, bye-bye, dear!\u201d he said to his wife.\u201cI\u2019m off to do my turn at fire-watching.\u201d \u201cH\u2019m!\u201d was the cold reply.\u201cAnd who might the flame be this time?\u201d RECALLING WHEN BRITAIN TOOK BURMA New York Sun Diplomatic chickens are always coming home to roost.The news dispatches these days are peppered with the names of Indo-China, Siam, Malaya and the Burma Road.Who remembers King Theebaw ?In 1885 England was having trouble with Russia over the Pand-jeh on the Afghan borders.France had set up a protectorate over

his Queen Soopaya-Lat prisoners.Burma\u2014twice the size of France\u2014was annexed by Britain.That was when the Viceroy of India, Lord Dufferin, added to his title the name Ava, the old Burmese capital near Mandalay.Seven years later the French in Indo-China claimed that their protectorate over Annam\u2014Annam and Tonkin make Indo-China; old time-songs, \u201cLa Petite Tonquinoise\u201d and

war on Siam and blockaded Bangkok.The British broke the blockade and forced France to sign a treaty of peace with Siam in 1893.Foreign offices, like elephants, never forget, and when Vichy practically handed over Indo-China to Janan.thereby endangering Hong Kong and Singapore and Burma, there was an echo of an old and bitter feud.'\u2018«Sits ».5 SStf \u2018 WW;* .BRAINS OF RUSSIA\u2019S ARMY Die Weltwoche, Zurich, Switzerland In the autumn of 1918 a curious thing happened.The newly organized Red Army had been beaten along the whole of the lower Volga, losing one town after another, one village after another, to Cossack regiments commanded by the famous hetman, Kussnov, On November 15, 1918, Zarizyn was summoned to surrender.In the old government-house a few men met to talk things over.They were Josef Stalin.Commissar of Supplies in South Russia; Klim Voroshilov, leader of the guerrilla bands who had come from the Donetz Basin, together with a few thousand workers.to help the others; and a man with a long moustache, the cavalry General, Budyonny, who had once been a cowherd and farm-hand.\u201cWe\u2019ve got to risk a sally,\u201d said Budyonny.\u201cWho is to lead it?\u201d asked Stalin, who, never having served, was a novice in all things military.\u201cTimoshenko,\u201d said Budyonny.\u201cIsn\u2019t he just a little too young?\u201d asked Voroshilov, always on the side of caution.Nobody paid any attention to his objection.Timoshenko, then about twenty-three years old, commanded the sally; the iron ring round Zarizyn was broken And Kussnov was forced to retreat.Budonny pursuing him right into Poland.What had seemed certain defeat became a mighty victory.Ail Soviet historians believe the successful defence of the town on the banks of the Volga to have been the turning point of the war.Now the \u201cmen of Zarizyn\u201d have met again in the \u201cGenera] Defence Council\u201d of the Soviet Union.In | Zarizyn, called Stalingrad nowadays, the men who were later to get the better of all their rivals and reach the very top of the Soviet hierarchy met for the first time.Today they met again in defence of Russia against the same enemy.To must be admitted that, even within this group, there have always been certain rivalries.Budyonny and Voroshilov were put more or less on ; the shelf; Timoshenko, their junior in years and rank, became Commander of the Red Army.During the war with Finland, when things were looking bad for Russia, Stalin called r Timoshenko, at that time com-' mander of the military district of; Kiev, and asked him what was the ; matter with the Red Army.Could itj be that Voroshilov .?\u201cVoroshilov,\u201d Timoshenko is supposed to have said, perhaps remembering a certain utterance in 1918, \u201cis too old.\u201d Stalin seems to have shared Timo-| shenko\u2019s opinion.Voroshilov was : promoted Vice-President of the De-1 fence Council, which consists of i eleven men, thus gaining in rank j what he lost in influence.His sue- ! cesser was Timoshenko.Thus the | underground struggle that had been; fought so long between two genera- i tions was decided in favor of the j younger.Timoshenko\u2019s first task was to 1 place the young staffs in important1 posts.That meant a hard and sometimes almost cruel fight, for .the veterans who had done great things during the Civil War had to make room for the younger, scientifically trained men.Only a man who had been at least to a secondary school could become an officer.Many of the old guerrilla fighters grew embittered and retired.Others began studying anew.Timoshenko himself, notwithstanding all his decorations and military successes, attended the \u201cFrunse Academy.\u201d And even old Budyonny was nearly \u201cplucked\u201d by the professors of the same Academy.Something strange happened to the spirit of the Army.Under Timoshenko the staff officers were younger, but at the same time their attitude grew more studious and more sedate.Timoshenko once declared that revolutionary elan had the same value as the furnaces of the munition factories: One cannot do without the fires, but after they have done their work the decision lies with the calm, reasoning mind which turns the guns on the enemy according to mathematical calculations.The army lost its revolutionary fire but gained discipline and efficiency.From the haphazard guerrilla-groups which had conquered eleven enemy armies in the Civil War sprang a \u201cbourgeois,\u201d disciplined war-machine.Timoshenko has no illusions about himself.He knows that he is not a great strategist and regards himself, as far as military things are concerned, as \u201chalf educated.\u201d He has therefore attached to his person an old professional soldier, the sixty-year-old General, Boris Michael Shaposhnikov.The son of a well-to- do civil servant, Shaposhinkov studied before the first German war at the Moscow Military School, and at the General Staff Academy, completing his studies in 1910.In the Tsarist Army he advanced rapidly, becoming a staff officer of several cavalry divisions, an officer in the Guards, and finally a member of the General Staff.In 1918 he went over to the Red Army.He belonged, as Tuchat-chevsky had done, to the six per cent of former Tsarist officers who joined the Bolshevists and were greatly appreciated as specialists.After the Civil War the Red Army made use of Shaposhnikov's military knowledge, appointing him chief of the Military Academy, and later he became commander of the military districts of Moscow and Leningrad.Just as Tuchatchevsky had once been the \u201cman behind Voroshilov\u201d (the Marshal\u2019s \u201cmilitary expert\u201d) so Shaposhnivok is today \u201cthe man behind Timoshenko.\u201d He has become the younger man\u2019s shadow.His military text-book in three fat volumes is called in Russia \u201cthe brain of the army.\u201d In reality Shaposhnikov himself is the brain of the army, but the prejudice felt against his pre-revolutionary past is still strong enough to prevent his coming to full command of the Army.Timoshenko, ex-peasant and blacksmith, and Shaposhnikov, ex-Guards officer\u2014the first an energetic if not very far-seeing dare-devil, the latter a clever, rather cautious strategist\u2014 will show the world whether they are the equals as leaders of the army they have reformed of the retired veterans of the Civil War who fought ! more with their hearts than with ' their heads.FORMER U.S.PRESIDENT M c K E N N E Y By Wm.E.McKenney.ON BRIDGE America's Card Authority \u201cYou

at sea.If your! 'memory\u2019s good, you can steer a| .straight course to the answers to j these questions.j 1\u2014Name the first four U.S.warships attacked, torpedoed or sunk in j the Atlantic during World War II.| How many lives were lost in these : attacks?2\u2014\tGermany lost its brand new \u2022biggest battleship in 1941, but in return had sunk a British battle cruiser and aircraft can-ier before the year was out.What were these vessels\u2019 names?3\u2014\tWhat three American flag freighters were sunk in 1941 and where?4\u2014\tLeaders of two world powers made history with a meeting on the high seas.Who were they and on what vessels did they confer?5\u2014\tUnder what flag were several U.S.-owned ships sailing when sunk in the Atlantic (other than the three in question 3) ?Answers on page 5 For the past fourteen years, the American Contract Bridge League has held the fall session of the national championships in one of the major metropolitan cities.This year, however, the tournament was taken to Richmond, Va., and its success was evidenced by the fact that practically every attendance record was broken.I want you to meet the new champions who were crowned at Richmond.The first event was the women\u2019s team-of-four, which was won by four Memphis women\u2014Mrs.W.L.Terry, Mrs.Randolph Scott, Mrs.L.B.Buchanan and Mrs.W.L.Dickens.They had a comfortable load of five matches over the famous quartet consisting of Mrs.R.C.Young, of Philadelphia, Mrs.A.M.Sobel, Mrs.Doris Fuller and Mrs.Joseph M.Rothschild, of New York.In my opinion the accuracy of their bidding won the title for these women.In the hand shown today, Mrs.Dickers, with a very strong and aggressive type of hand, managed to stop at five-odd which was all that could he made.With the South cards, Mrs.Dickens was encouraged to find her partner strong enough to bid two diamonds over one spade.The bid of four clubs, instead of three spades, vvis aiso intended as a strengthshowing bid, inviting a slam try.Mrs.Dickens then bid four no trump (Blackwood convention! and the rc- jsponse of five diamonds showed one ace.But when her partner bid only five spades over five hearts, Mrs.Dickens decided that the slam was too risky.She knew she must lose one ace, and the chance of avoiding the loss of a heart trick was too slender, in view of her partner\u2019s lack of enthusiasm for spades or hearts until a choice was forced upon her.Many other pairs reached six spades and made only four through trying to fulfill the slam contract.Mrs.Dickens played safe for five by ruffing out one low heart and giving up the ace of spades and king of heart.HORIZONTAL 1 Mother.4 Stout cord.8 First name of pictured U.S.president.14 Range.16 Turkish governor.18\tFarewell.19\tHis last name.21 Garden tool.23\tLucky number 24\tObserve.27 Insane.29 King (Latin).31 Craft.33 Egg dish.36 Elastic band.38\tOn top.39\tRoman robe.40\tNewspaper chief.44 Deliver into an enemy\u2019s hands by treachery.47 Lion.43 Music note.49 Advertisements (abbr.).Answer to Previous Puzzle \t\tAN\t\tIN \tC\tR\tE\tEl c\tH\tE\ts\tTj H\t1\tT S\t\t 1\tD\tE\t\tA P\tE\tSIT\t\tS 10\t\t\t\tlT E\tT\tA|P\t\tE 4\tR\tN\t\tR S\tE\tA\tT\t E\tT\tIN\tA\t \tS\tA\tL\ta' \t\tS\tC\tR iDjA M H T T\tE\tL T\tR\tE AliN sis Ho p RlNiEiD R T IS 50 Finish.52\tSister (abbr.)- 53\tProceed.55'Young owl.57 Poker stake.60\tGrow old.61\tAnger.63\tHe was elected for -separated terms.64\tVerify.65\tFresh.VERTICAL 1\tDamage.2\tEither.3 Myself.5\tIs in debt.6\tOne who paves.7\tFootball team, 9 Raced.10\tAdvantage.11\tSix (Roman), 12\tElectrical, engineer (abbr.).13\tBeverage.15 Aviator.17 Holly tree.20\tAny.21\tMeat.22 Poem.25\tDevour.26\tBefore.27\tOne who poses.28\tProhibits.30 Great anger, 32 Threes in cards.34\tPillar.35\tJutting rock 38 Sailor.37 Rodent.41\tScottish river.42\tElectrified particle.43\tConquer.45\tCloth fragment, 46\tTrouble.48 Faithful.51\tFemale deer, 52\tSlavic.54 Stick.56 Fasten with thread.58\tCompass poinj 59\tToward, 61\tInto.62\tNote of scale A 10 5 4 V 4 ?A K J 9 4 Jk K 10 9 5 A 2 V K 109 7 3 ?6 5 3 AQ863 A A 8 6 3 V 52 ?Q 1082 A J72 Mrs.Dickens A K Q J 9 7 V A Q J 8 6 ?7 A A 4 Duplicate\u2014None vul.South\tWest\tNorth\tEast 1 A\tPass\t2 ?\tPass 3 V\tPuss\t4 A\tPass 4 N.T.\tPass\t5 ?\tPass 5 V\tPass\t5 A\tPass Opening\u2014?,6.\t\t29 1\t2 i4\t 19 63 6\t7 a 17 20 64 ?raa«nnManmani IQ M 12 13 25 31 37 26 IT* MfJi___ 45 46 m KSmBtSEtrr^rr' 4y 1 MONDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1941.SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD 5.IN THE WOMEN\u2019S SPHERE Jk DAVIDSON HILL LADIES\u2019 GUILD ENTERTAINED Pupils of Victoria School Perform at Supper Held at Home of Mr.and Mrs.i.W.Davidson.Davidson Hill and Bethel, Dec.2'9.\u2014A very enjoyable evening was spent at the Lome of Mr.and Mrs.YOU TOO MAY HAVE A SKIN MEN LOVE HELP RELIEVE BLACKHEADS \u2022 \u2022 \u2022 ALSO EXTERNALLY CAUSED PIMPLES Mildly medicated Cuticura Soap and Ointment are used by many beauti^il women .Cuticura Ointment to help relieve blackheads and externally caused pimples .and Cuticura Soap to help preserve a \u2022',** naturally lovely skin.« At You!

Richmond tumbling off the pinnacle; perch for the first time since the Eastern Townships Hockey League opened, being replaced by Sherbrooke Indians, who yesterday bested Victoriaville 4-3.Windsor Mills are now square in the matter of games played, with three wins and the same number of setbacks in their six starts.They now trail Richmond by four points, but have played one less game than I Howie Peterson\u2019s Monarchs.Always in top form when they play before their own supporters, the Paper Makers had too much on the ball for the Monarchs yesterday, and were never in trouble after running up a 3-0 edge in the initial stanza.While their forward lines were travelling at top speed, much credit for the win goes to the defence duo of Ben Bouchard and Pat Melanson, who worked like Trojans to turn back the Richmond attacks.Richmond was still shorthanded, With Jack Campbell and Ivan Boisvert missing from the rearguard and Sonny Mooney from the forward line.This meant that the other performers had to do more than their riiare.But the Pap-er Makers weM really flying all afternoon, fully deserving their triumph.Melanson, the softball-hockey aee, figured largely in the proceedings, drawing assists on two of his team's four goals, and also incurring two penalti'es.Incidentally, the third Windsor goal was scored when Melanson was reclining in the penitence pew' and the Paper Makers were shorthanded.After Windsor\u2019s three-goal first period the game settled down, and although the exchanges were heated, groat defensive play and smart goal-keeping allowed only two more markers.Richmond got the only tally of the middle chapter, with the Paper Makers sniping the last goal in the last stanza.Duncan, new member for the Windsor Mills team this year, went through alone for the opening goal after seven minutes and forty seconds.Bus McLenahan, the old reliable Bus, made the count 2-0 at the sixteen-minute mark with Melan-son\u2019s ¦ assistance, then two minutes later Rivard fired the disc past Bernier, Guilbeault and Morey assisting.The Richmond goal went to the league\u2019s leading scorer, Hank Harris, with Ross Planche and Guidoo Roy drawing assists, while Marcel Dionne wound up proceedings, Melanson again assisting, in the last Continued on page 9, column 5 SPORT FLASHES Harold Lambert, Rice basketball guard, played in Madison Square Garden, but it was all new to him when he stepped on the floor against Fordham Saturday.He developed a form of sleeping sickness last summer and, although fully recovered, he can\u2019t -ill an- ow his experience here.Babe Ruth has reudcod 20 pounds so he\u2019ll look like his old self for the movie about Lou Gehrig's life, which goes into production soon.Publicity for the Baer-Louis fight carries the slogan \u201cRemember Pearl Harbor\u201d .The fighters\u2019 idea probably will be \"Remember Griffith Stadium.\u201d Hoop-la!
