Mr. Justice Loranger, In his judgment, said the defendant had no right to break the engagement he entered into with plaintiff's wife.

Engaged as an expert tailor's worker on canvas, she was justified in refusing to perform other tasks than those for which her services were retained. The certificate of competence furnished by her former employer, M. Emond, confirmed the Court in the opinion that Mrs. Alary had a right to insist on defendant keeping his engagement. His explanation ths.t, after, employing plaintiffs wife, he decided to retain the services of his expert worker, Miss Lanthier, was not a valid bar to Mrs.

Alary's determination to work for defendant only as an expert operator on tailor's canvas. In the circumstances, plaintiff's claim was not exaggerated, "each cause having its particular physi-onomy," Judge Loranger remarked. Consequently, defendant was condemned to pay plaintiff $140 and costs, which amounted to $150. Marcel Jalbert appeared for plaintiff. i Because Leading Aircraftman Morris Nathan Oiring of Montreal overstayed his first two-week furlough by one day and missed his boat back to his Newfoundland post by one hour, he happened to be aboard the ill-fated ferry steamer Caribou and is now listed among the missing after that ship was sunk by an Axis submarine near Port aux Basques, Newfoundland.

LAC Oiring was visiting his parents. Mr. and Mrs, Isidore Oiring of 374 Edward Charles street for the first time since he had been posted to security duty in Newfoundland. Only a few days before returning to his post he accompanied his only brother, Isaac, to the R.C.A.F. enlistment office where the latter signed his attestation papers.

Isaac Oiring was repected because of the condition of his health. Before enlisting in the R.C.A.F, last December LAC. Oiring was an active member of the Young Busi nessmen uouncn or the united Jewish Appeal and the Aleph Tza- dick Aleph. A native of Mogilev, JKussia, he was a graduate of the Montreal Commercial High School and of the United Jewish Talmud Torahs. Oiring had been on the sales staff of the Dominion Garment Co.

When the city of Montreal bill was before the Legislative Council last spring, Hon.

P. R. duTremblay introduced an amendment to provide that unless the municipal authorities had moved at a certain date September 1 last was mentioned in the proposed amendment the Quebec Municipal Commission was to be substituted to the City Coun cil for loan conversion purposes. Hon. Philippe Brais, then government leader in the Council, sup ported this proposal, but face of the protests of the members of the City Executive Committee present that they were still in course of negotiations, and had not aband oned hope, Mr.

duTremblay with drew ms amendment. The Executive Committee made good on its implied promise to take action when it -sent the projected by-law to Council, but the impasse between the Executive Committee and the Council was revealed. This situation must now be cleared away, whether by the present Council or the new one. for legislative action cannot be halted. The fact that the Executive Committee has invited five members of each category of councillor to meet with them for study is taken at the City Hall as a hopeful sign, since it constitutes a concession to the feelings of many councillors that they serve some other purpose than that or a rubber stamp.

Siimson's war-of -nerves effort was perhaps the most significant of all. In urging extension of the army draft to lads of 18 and 19. he revealed 1943 plans for an American army of 7,500,000 men streamlined in age as well as training for shock action for attack, not defence. Stimson's breakdown of that potential force into its air. ground and service troop components, however, was the thing that must haunt the Germans who hear of it.

Substantially a third of it, 2.200,000 men, will be assigned to the air force. Just what that might mean in American combat planes in the air next year Nazi military experts probably can deduce. It is the personnel companion piece for the 1943 plane production rate goal of 125,000 ARP FUND $5,482 Collection in Notre Dame de Grace Already Applied The sum of $5,482 was collected in the NQtre Dame de Grace A.R.P. fund campaign, it was announced today by Jack Evans, chairman of the board of trustees to whom the money was turned over. The drive was sponsored by church, business and other organizations in Notre Dame de Grace and a house-to-house canvass was made in June.

The fund was kept open throughout the summer so that those in the country at the i ss By KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Associated Press War Analyst) Four high Allied spokesmen, three of them Americans, took the offensive against the Axis last week on a front not shown on the maps. That is the war-of -nerves front. There is no ban on speculation about what is doing or brewing there. On the contrary, war-of -nerves technique as practised by the Nazis is designed to enlist mat prime safeguard of democracy, freedom of speech and publication, in enemy service.

It depends on wide publicity and discussion or its outgivings in the country attacked. There being no such freedom oi public discussion in Axis countries, the effect of the Anglo-American pychological counter offensive which reached a new high last week is difficult to judge. There can be small question, however. that Prime Minister Churchill London and President Roosevelt, War Secretary Henry Stimson and Attorney General Francis Biddle on this side of the Atlantic, all timed their shots. They were aiming at German and Italian nerves al ready raw with apprehension over the approach of another war win ter and deferred hopes of a decisive Axis victory.

Biddle's announcement of release of Italian origin nationals in the United States from the rigors of enemy alien classification was openly a bid for Italian public dis-RffetUon. not only with the Axis fellowship but with the Fascist re-gime in Italy which placed that yoke on Italian shoulders. There is plenty of smoke to indicate discontent fires in Italy. A hasty trip by the Nazi Gestapo chieftain, Henrich Himmler, to survey Italian winter war morale prospects is significant. Swiss informants say he was to pave the way for another Hitler-Mussolini confab, this time over failure of Italian occupation forces to surpress revolt in the "conquered" Balkans.

OBSTACLES BEING REMOVED Even more factual was one assertion in both the Churchill and Roosevelt utterances that has a very definite bearing on military second-front prospects and Hitler's own efforts to soothe German alarm on that score cannot be ignored. The British and American war leaders have before now joined in saying that shipping to carry the fight to the foe is toe greatest bottleneck on the second-front pathway, wherever it leads. They now have joined in saying that obstacle is being removed. Allied merchant tonnage building in August and September "substantially outweighed losses" to U-boats, Mr. Churchill said, although Nazi under-sea warfare still remained "the greatest problem for the United Nations." "We are getting ahead of our enemies in the bitter battle of (sea) transportation," was the way Mr.

Roosevelt put it.

IS UNLIKELY IN 1942 Present Body Is Expected to Shift Onus Because of Election Nearness FEAR VOTE REACTION Pointed Out Legislature May Not Meet Until February and Move Unnecessary Perhaps Until April Possibility still exists that the present City Council may approve a renovated project for refunding the City ef Montreal 265 million dollar debt, but it is regarded as remote in view of the shortage of time between now and the first Monday In December, when a new Council is to be elected. The fact that many ol the present councillors will offer themselves for re-election there are 66 of the 99 to be elected also plays a part in causing a hesitation to present a definite accomplishment to the people, with some features which may prove to be unpopular, rather than to offer a project more or less vague but containing pleasing prospects as to the future.

But, it is pointed out by those In the know, whether it is this present City Council which makes the plunge or a newly-elected Council, is not as important as at first appear, for, it is pointed out, there are still three, and possibly four months in which the situation can be settled. The Legislature did not meet in 1942 until February 24. and possibly may not meet until February next year. This will mean that there will be until some time in April before a decision has to be taken that is, a decision by either the new City Council, or by the Legislature itself. One fact appears certain.

There will be legislation regarding the city's debt next It will be either a case of ratifying a by-law enacted bv the City Council, old or new. or direct action by the Legislature, irrespective of Ihe Council. It is pointed out in this connec tion that the Legislature in putting the Quebec Municipal Commission in charge, and giving Montreal a new svstem of government, has al ready gone so iar in tne matter oi intervention that a final step will not hurt the Godbout Government any more. They will be accused of interference in the municipal af fairs at the next provincial general elections whether they travel the whole road or not, and in the meantime the financial crisis of Montreal is being accentuated. ONE BY-LAW REJECTED.

Under the by-law which the Council rejected, the city would be $100,000 a month better off, as of October 1 last, in debt servicing charges than it is now. There are 25 million dollars worth of bonds which have not been met at maturity, though the city is paying the face rate of interest on the bonds, and this 25 million defaulted bonds will grow rapidly. There is no market for Montreal bonds under only endeavor to get people thinking about the subject.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ARTHRITIS TREATMENT I am taking 300,000 units of vitamin daily for arthritis.

My doctor iays I should continue it for at least six weeks. But I have Been Told it will cause hardening of the arteries. (W. T. Ans That is a bugaboo conjured up in the fertile imagination of some one who evidently had no experience with such, treatment.

In actual giving patients with arthritis and other ailments such daily doses of vitamin there has been no indication of hardening of the arteries in the many thousands of cases so treated. The treatment is sometimes extraordinarily effective. In my opinion it involves no special risk of serious untoward effects.

(Mrs. T.

Answer If you mean electrolysis destruction of hair follicle or root by inserting into it a needle connected with the negative pole of a simple dry battery or other galvanic current there is no danger, provided the operator is skilled in aseptic technique. Whether the hair root is actually destroyed by the needle is indicated by appearance of minute bubbles, of gas within a few seconds. If no bubbles, the hair follicle or root has not been destroyed and will soon grow out again. Electrolysis, in skilled hands, is the only method by which superfluous hair can be destroyed. When many hairs are present only a portion of them are destroyed at a single sitting even the most skilled or experienced operator fails to get the needle into the follicle in from one-fourth to one-third of the attempt.

Then, too, an attempt to accomplish too much at a sitting may produce an unpleasant reaction, so it is better to proceed patiently and systematically, Mail for Dr. Brady has to be forwarded to hin Readers should allow some time before expecting Dr. Brady's answer. (Copyright, 1942, John F. Dille Co.) To engage an expert In a certain class of work and then assign other tasks to the employee, constitutes a breach of engagement and renders the employer liable in, damages, Mr.

Justice Louis Loranger decided in the Superior Court on Saturday. The issue was raised in an action by Herve Alary, 5290 Delorimier avenue, who, as head of the community of property between his wife and himself, sued Louis Lie-bovitz for $140 damages for breach of contract. Defendant is manager of Well-made Pants and Vests Contractors, Registered, Ontario street west. Plaintiff stated, that through the defendant's foreman, Mrs. Alary was persuaded to leave the position she occupied as an expert tailor's worker on canvas, earning from $25 to $30 a week, and enter the employ of defendant as an expert operator on canvas at a salary of $35 to $40 weekly.

After the engagement, however, defendant gave plaintiff's wife other work to do, and when she protested she was told that it should be all the same to her, as she received the wages agreed upon. Mrs. Alary refused to perform other work than the kind for which she was specifically employed, quit the FOUR EVENTS HELD BY KIWANIS CLUB Show for Service Men, Cadet Parade and Programs for Children In Activities During the past week the Kiwanis Club of Montreal through its various committees, sponsored and carried out four important events.

Will Seek Seat on Platform of Going to the Limit to Achieve Victory CONTEST 'UNLIKELY' Backers Do Not Anticipate Contest, But Promise Victory If Vote Is Forced in Riding Prefacing his acceptance with a declaration that those who wanted fcim as their candidate must accept him as one determined to go the limit to help achieve victory, L. R. LaFleche, newly Earned Minister of National War Services, agreed Saturday after-noon to be the candidate in the by-election In Outremont division on November 30.

That is the voting date, should there be a contest but Use representative men wno gathered at Senator Thomas Vien's home in Outremont to offer th candidature to the general told him tr.at they did not anticipate a contest, only an acclamation. But, they, aurfd him frimly, if there waa to be a corUfit he could be assured he would win a victory on the political btUf)ild as glorious as tr.r he had won on European battlefields in the last war, and cn a parity with the fine war work he has been doing for his country in this war. Being a minister in the federal liberal government, and seeking a at in the House of Commons so that he may explain its policies to the people in that House, General Lafleehe is pro forma a Liberal and a government candidate, but it was evident by the demonstration Saturday that his status is pro forma only, since such Conservative! as Mayor Joseph Beaubien, J. Penverne, K.C., and a dozen other leaders of the Conservative party in the division were on hand to mssure him as warmly as the Liberals that he was the man they wanted to represent them at Otta-wa to execute their will to victory. Gen.

LaFleche did not go into details of his "going the limit to win." and merely added that since there must be equality of sacrifice, there must be equality of opportunity, and his idea of equality was 50-50. and not an equality of 70-30, either way. His motto was "the Cross and the Sword." There could be no peace without honor, nor glory without unity and peace among the races. If his views were agreeable he would accept the candidature; if they were not acceptable, let those against say so. and h.e would not accept.

There was an outburst of applause, and the general then formally accepted the offer, and is now candidate In the federal electoral division of Outremont. Senator Thomas Vien and Mayor Joseph Beaubien offered the nomination to Gen, LaFleche, warmly seconded by Hon. Henri Groulx. provincial Minister of Health and Social Welfare, and Dr. L.

LaFleche he wa3 confident he represented public sentiment In asking him to be the candidate, and around him were citizens who exercised considerable Influence among their fellow citizens in the division, while before him wero more than 3,000 signatures of citizens who wanted him to be their member. He could promise Gen. LaFleche, continued the senator, that if there was not an acclamation, and he expected one, there would be a victory in the political battlefield of the kind to which the general was accustomed on European battlefields. ALL VIEWS REPRESENTED. Hon.

Mr. Groulx supported the views ef Senator Vien. It was the desire of the people of all sections df the division that Gen. LaFleche should be their candidate, and it was fpontaneous desire, representing the of all races and shades of opinion. As provincial member for the division, Mr.

Groulx felt that with Gen. LaFleche at Ottawa would be the link between the province and the rest of Canada. "As a French-Canadian. I consider that rny compatriots tan have in Gen. LaFleche the chief they require." said Hon.

Mr. Groulx. "Resident of this division, I believe that the people of my city and my county will be performing an Inestimable service in delegating auch a representative to Ottawa."

William Brady, care of The Gazette.) SAVE FUEL AND ENJOY HEALTH Ten ways to save fuel are described in an instructive pamphlet issued by the War Service Committee, American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, 51 Madison Avenue, New York, and one of the ways is: AVOID OVER-HEATING. a. Install thermostatic control for the maintenance of uniform temperature between 65 and 70 F. b. Wear more clothing and avoid necessity of higher temperatures.

I would supplement that by saying that if you can't have thermostatic control of the heating in your home, at least you can have a thermometer and be guided by the thermometer, not by the notions of different members of the family, in regulating the household temperature. The pamphlet contains excellent suggestions and expert advice on the care of furnace fires, for getting the most out of whatever fuel is used. But I find nothing in it about the degree of humidity or the amount of moisture in the air, or the dryness of the air in an arti-ficially heated building, and this is an important factor in keeping the air comfortable at a moderate temperature. The pamphlet does give this information, which should interest every one who buys fuel: "In general for each degree lower indoor day time temperature is maintained, a fuel saving of 2.7 per cent, will result." The ideal atmospheric or air condition in a building by stove, furnace, steam or hot water radiators or hot air, in the colder northern winter season, is called the "comfort zone" and this ideal state of the atmosphere is attained when 1ie air temperature is kept between 63 and 71 degrees F. and the relative humidity of not less than 40 per cent, preferably 45 to 50 per cent.

Any one who has tested the question in actual practice in home or building knows that the mere increase 'of humidity of the heated air, by some provision for evaporating water in the air constantly, makes the atmosphere more comfortable at a temperature of, say, 68 to 70 degrees than the ordinary artificially heated atmosphere fsels when the temperature is kept up around 75 degrees F. Authorities forecast a possible 25 per cent, reduction in deliveries of fuel oil to some eastern areas this winter. Whether you use oil or other fuel it 'will pay you to investigate this question of the "comfort zone." Not merely from the standpoint of conservation of fuel, but more particularly from the standpoint of protecting the health of the family. Space restrictions render it difficult to tell the story here. We can.
