This time to Morrow Poppet Well be somewhere on the Contin ent you and me and a Little trinket Worth three thousand its a Beautiful pen Dant lady Brown ing said perhaps the Best in our special catalogue. I m not surprised it took your i be simply got to have Esther smiled. She. Was wearing admiring the effect Init he lounge Mirror. My husband wants me to have it sir Norman is in Ber Browning said. Use glanced at him quickly. I mentioned it to him r the she moved the Bureau. Now about the Cheque. V the Man from. Mercier s smiled unctuous by. Of yes lady Putney the Cheque. You have of course a joint account with sir it was a statement rather than a question. Esther smiled. Sir nor Man fully agrees. I be told you i was phoning him in Bermuda Only the other everybody s taking to the water All you have to do is take drive on any one of the Beach highways out of Winnipeg at this time of year to realize just How popular boating has become. It seems that every second or third car is trailing an out fit ranging from 10 to 23 feet and this is Only part of the Story. Every province in Canada and every state below the Border is experiencing the mama fantastic expansion. By every Standard boat and motor fishing sup plies and outdoor equip ment the surge has never been equalled and the Satu ration Point is nowhere in right there Are Many reasons for the skyrocketing inter est Tommy Arkansas tra Veller Braen says one Rea Lori is the fact that the highways Are getting so crowded that the people have gone to the water. And since the modern trend la to in sport and since boating and fish ing Are two sports which the entire family can take part in we should t really be surprised at the popular Ity of water sport there s an old fed eral statute that covers speeding on water but it Only gathered dust for Many years. Today the ramp has set up a special division to direct water safety. It was about 10 years ago that the first traffic ticket was handed out on water and i happened to know the Chap who was found guilty. Speeding in t really the concern but with so much traffic on water now a tendency to drive dangerously near the beaches maybe show off a Little. Hence the Law enforcement. It s just another indication of How big the sport Haa become. George costal boat expert who Cornea by it inherently since his ancestor a nailed with the Spanish Armada says the popularity of boats and motors today is just another Tangent to our healthy Economy. The boat motor craze is paralleled by the number of folks who own cottages to Day. It used to be that if you owned a cottage you had a boat today you have to be fortunate to find a place to build a cottage so people Are buying boats anyway and trailing them to different Waters and Home again. For example there s a Long waiting list for new lots to be surveyed and opened up in the White Shell. Ased Schindler a 14-year Veteran of Falcon Lake said four or five years ago i could have had my pick of almost any or All of the property Down Here. Then a sudden it was gone. Now i can t even buy a lot to build my Home the exact Story of the amazing growth in boating interest is contained in the fou owing figures. In 1955 there was a total of boats of All types in the province of Mani Toba. Today there Are 000, of which Are 10 . Or larger. In 1959 alone new boats were registered in the province and this year s registration already indicates a record to be established. Moreover i know that in 1959 two and one half Bil lion dollars was spent on boats motors and trailers for pleasure use in North America. And it s interest ing to note that the biggest buyer was not the wealthy business or professional Man. It was the skilled worker who purchased 30 per cent of All pleasure Craft sold last year. Cleri Cal workers and salesmen bought 16 per cent professional people 14 per cent and factory workers under three per cent forty three per cent were bought for fishing 27 per cent for cruising 20 per cent for skiing and less than one per cent for commercial use. What kind Are they buying it was Only seven years ago that Fibre Glass became popular and today it is on the Way toward domination of the Market. In 1953 Only seven per cent of All boats sold were Fibre Glass. In 1959 the total reached 51 per cent and the increase was made at the expense of Wood. At the same time the trend has been to bigger boats and higher horse Power motors. But to satisfy the hunger for horsepower boat manufacturers did t have to build bigger and bigger boats. The Advent of Fibre Glass gave them greater scope in design so they were Able to add strength Whan it needed to keep the wider transoms for the new weight and to Mould to fit any requirement and so they presented the sleek streamlined Craft to catch the fancy of the females in the family a pens in the Case of modern motor cars where style is the Selling Factor. The horse Power t Story is even More amazing Titan the boat a few Yeara ago flawed big and Small Laina with a Little 1.1 he and weren t Many motors Tiffer than 5 or 10 Horsa going by. Now How Ever if a different Story. In 19m Over so Par cent of All motors rated 30 horse Power or higher. The decrease in motor sales was Felt in the seven to 20 horsepower Range under seven held thar own indicating that Many people Are buying motor in Small size for the kids for a fishing motor or for a spare. No doubt More people with Little experience now Are at the controls on the water. So heed the word of Paul Murphy Secretary manager of the game and fish association unfortunately the Fol by Johnny Esaw lowing preliminaries to tra Gedy will occur this sum Mer a Fisherman will jump up in his boat to cast a four year old boy will splash about in shallow water near a drop off a Farmer will jump into his Duck Pond to Rescue his two Young daughters a group of Stu dents celebrating graduation will ignore the simple rules of boat safety. These Are actual cases and occur be cause people do not know the Basic rules of water safety and Don t take time to learn to handle a boat remember drowning takes place in but you can also drown in Sor Herbert Harris 1 Browning smiled bade but to might be allowed i mean if sir Norman would you re at Liberty to con firm it if you either told him ingeniously. Browning gave a Small half Bow. It would Only mean a very sight at she said briskly. She was playing the role Well t know what you people Are you shall speak to my husband she picked up the phone. I want a personal Call to sir Normal Putney at the rite hotel Bermuda. Yes that s right she sup plied her own number. Thank you Yea. I u be standing by for the she replaced the receiver and stood there still Wear ing the Pendant convers ing brightly with the Man from Mac fir presently the phone rang. Hello is that you Norman your voice sounds Odd. It s Sylvia. Look Darling i be bought that Pendant i spoke about. That Pendant yes. I would t have bothered you but it s three thousand anti or. Browning from Mer Cier s would like your Okay. Know but this one s from Mercier s. N6 Darling not in writing. He s beside me now. I la hand Over. Put his mind at rest will Browning took the phone. It s Only a formal k Ity sir Norman. Lady put Ney insisted on ringing you. Pardon of impetuous Well i Don t know her Ladyship very Well sir. I beg your Pardon yes sir. It s Worth every Penny of the Price. You know our reputation. We would to. I Pardon she s to make out the Cheque very Good he handed Back the phone to. Esther. She Chat idly with sir Norman for a minute then said time s up. Darling. Good Bye for she turned to Browning. Now i u write out the Cheque for detective inspector Blake said to the Man from Mercier s they Al most deserved to get away with it for amateurs pull ing Job it was t too the girl was t quite How i imagined lady put Browning smiled. But i was prepared to Swallow that. It was the chiming that spoiled it echoed the Yard Man. It was while 1 was talk ing to sir Norman or rather Eddie Browning explained. I heard a clock chime four at the other end of the line and glanced at my watch. It struck me As Odd. After All Bermuda is three hours slow on Greenwich time or four with summer time. It should have struck twelve in Bermuda should t world copyright reserved there s a Gay flair to summer shoes the Gay flair of summer shoes is evident in Winni Peg stores now. There seems to be More selection than Ever. Squash heels Are Low Ca sual and comfortable be sides being pretty. The Little ties Are fetching and some shoes feature both calf and suede. Plain pumps with Flowers what women Are wearing by Monique the word for party going. A Good variety of blooms which clip on to shoes can be bought separately. And what about Straw Elfere Are the usual Straw wedgies and sandals but the most at Tractive and dramatically different straws Are pumps. They have a medium stacked Heel and the entire top of the shoe is made of soft Straw Woven in an open pattern. Very pretty for the woman with Nice feet. There Are but few spectators available. Spectators have always been one of the smartest summer shoes but their popularity seems to have waned. Most stores carry a few and they have been brought up to Date. There is quite a variety in the White shoe Field everything from Pearl Zed leather to. Shantung with coloured polka dots. Beige and Bone these Are the summer s col ors and there Are two tone two fabric shoes in shades thereof. Or perhaps a Bone coloured shoe May have a Brown stacked Heel. There has not been a great change in shoe styles but there is More to choose from this year. And the. Rainbow s the limit when it comes to color. If they Haven t got it on the shelf you can have suede silk Satin or Linen shoes dyed to your own liking. Phillip Del Grande showed his fall models recently in Winnipeg. The toes Are As pointed As Ever and the heels higher but there was no real style change in Evi Dence. Checkers Nick Malley if Tobler no. Itt by t. Blades 5, a k-15.

Green olives have a High Content they will Cor Amil Guidi Rode a tin can if kept in it for any length of time. On the other hand Ripe olives have a much lower acid Content.
