Up with the go get of those bad old days when the world owed nobody a living and factories throve on super-mastersalesmanship! There's a man in this town who came out of that "last" war of 1914- 18 to work for one of New York's wizards of the extra ten per cent. a showman-salesman par excellence.

He had hundreds of men on his payroll. He rented an entire floo: in one of Manhattan's biggest buildings. He believed in starting the week right. The salesman-company collect in a correctly -staged auditorium. The party opened with appropriate prayer.

And then: a darkened stage gave forth slight glimmer, there was gradual sunrise provided by the local electricity outfit and, when illumination had reached high-see, there stood the Master -Salesman, dapper, full of pep, urge, graphs, quotas. The lads went out ands sold their heads off: $14,000,000 inside a few months.

Even London Laughed Fleet Street awards to the Evening Standard over there the gilded gasmask for the best "war" yarn of last September: A Dutchman was riding in the diner of a German train during the crisis. The German waiter, going up to take the order, sounded off with the customary "Hei! Hitler!" The Dutchman was more interested in the menu. "But," remonstrated the shocked waiter, "you are supposed to reply with another Heil Hitler!" "Why should queried the Dutchman. "Hitler means nothing in our country." "Maybe," retorted the fuming German, "some day you'll have our Fuehrer in Holland." "Maybe so," agreed the Dutchman pleasantly, "We've already got your Kaiser." Palace Revolt? Three days after Maurice Duplessis became Prime Minister, someone started dethroning him.

Therese, October Swerving to avoid a collision with a truck on the main street here yesterday afternoon, Roger Hamel, of 8193 St. Gerard street, Montreal, crashed into the wall of home of J. Desjardins.

The wall collapsed and plaster and bricks showered the inside of the front of the house. The occupants, fortunately, were in another part of the house and neither Hamel nor the six people in car were hurt. Damage to the wall was estimated at $30. Hamel said that, he was driving southwards met a large truck almost headon and, in order to avoid a serious collision, he swerved.

WORK-RELIEF PLAN ENCOUNTERS SNAGS Quebec Municipal Commission Doubts City Can Afford Switch from Dole SOME SOLONS SKEPTICAL They Fear Men on Relief Too Poorly Clad to Work in Winter, Question Their Stamina Mayor Raynault's $8.000,000 workfor -relief programme has not met with a completely favorable reception on the part of the Quebec Municipal Commission, it was learned at City Hall Saturday. From members of the Executive Committee who have been in conference with L. E. Potvin, chair.

man of the commission, came confirmation of reports that there was doubt whether the city could afford to go in for expenditures for materials that the works programme would entail. The plan prepared by engineers with the mayor's backing calls for inauguration of an elaborate works programme, 70 per cent. of total expenditures to go into labor costs and 30 per cent. into paying for materials, cartage, etc. The idea was that the works programme would just about cost what 1S now paid for direct relief.

While the plan calls for paying those who work and most on dole lists will be called upon eventually--an extra 25 per cent. over their present dole allocation as premium, it is felt this premium would be largely compensated to some extent by voluntary dropping from the lists on the part of persons who would not care to work. DOUBTS FUNDS AVAILABLE. "Where get the money for the 30 per cent. to be spent on materials?" was the way one member of the Executive put it following the terview with Mr.

Potvin. While there seems to be majority opinion on the part of authorities who nave to deal with direct lief that some work-for-relief plan would be desirable, for one reason in that it would give Montreal something for which it now receives nothing, there is a good deal of doubt as to the feasibility of any works programme. It is pointed out that many men on direct relief are not equipped in the matter, of clothing for heavy work winter. and some aldermen say they doubt whether these men's physical condition would meet any such test. In any event.

it was gathered from members of the Executive following the Municipal Commission interview that a project to have those on relief clean streets of snow was looked upon favorably, such jobs to be spread out among a large number of men. The mayor, optimistic that something concrete will vet emerge from the pourparlers, has indicated intention of going to Quebec for further discussion on the question with Hon. William Tremblay. Minister of Labor, and with Premier Maurice Duplessis. WOMAN DIES ON TRAIN Saskatchewan Resident on Way to Settle in Arthabaska On her way to Arthabaska from her home in Richard, Sask, Mrs.

JUSTINE SEEKS GRANT OF $250,000 Hospital Request to Be Considered This Week by City Authorities Application by authorities of the Ste. Justine Hospital for a civic grant of $250,000 is due to be studied this week by the Executive Committee at City Hall. The grant would cover a long term, perhaps 20 years, at $12,500 a year, On Saturday, the Executive Committee chairman, Ovide Taillefer, held a conference with Lactance Roberge, director of finance, who had just returned to his duties after a lengthy illness.

The hospital is financially pressed, the city authorities were told. Some time ago, the Legislature gave authorization to the city to make a grant of $250,000 to Ste. Justine's, the money to be obtained by way of loan. Only authorization was given by Quebec, however, and it was left to the city to proceed actually to make the grant or not. Also being considered at the present time is application by the Homeopathic Hospital for a grant of $50,000, to be spread over a period of 10 years at $5,000 a year.

Tomorrow, the Executive Committee is also due to settle the question of dividing $125,000 among the four charity federations of the city for looking after borderline direct relief cases. There has been suggestion that this amount be raised to $148,000 and all the federations be given 85 per cent. of their claims they lodged with the city to cover relief deficits. The whole matter is scheduled for discussion and settlement by City Council at Tuesday's meeting. SAYS N.U.

WRECKING CREDIT OF PROVINCE Godbout Charges Banks Now Refuse to Lend Money to the Government AVERS DEBT PYRAMIDING At Least $150,000,000 Added to It by Duplessis, Liberal Chief Says at Drummondville I (By Gazette Staff Reporter.) Drummondville, October debt of the province has been increased $150,000,000 during the two years of the administration the National Union Government Preof mier Maurice Duplessis and the credit of the province has become so impaired by the Government's policies that banks now make further loans to the province. Hon. Adelard Godbout, Liberal party leader, charged in an address here this afternoon. "When the National Union Government assumed office 1936," said Mr. Godbout, "the entire debt of the province was $150,000,000.

During the two years Mr. Duplessis has been in power he has succeeded in indebting the province more than it has been indebted during a all the years since Confederation. "We know that the debt of the province is at least $150,000,000, but that does not mean that that figure is correct. By tricky accounting and other fraudulent measures the Government has succeeded in keeping the true financial statement of the province from the public. "We know for instance that road contracts were given out on the specific understanding the payments would not have to be made until the following year.

We know also that millions are due in back salaries. "More than $40,000,000 are outstanding at the present time in treasury bills but these are not taken into account when the financial statement of the province is made public. URGES YOUTH TO VIGILANCE. "I ask the youth of the province to examine carefully the actions of those who are directing the affairs of the province, and to in turn ask themselves what is their for the future when the Government is indebting them and their future children at the rate of $200,000 a day. "The campaign of lies and calumny which the National Union Government carried out during the last election campaign and which was continued before the Public Accountants Committee of the Legislature has seriously affected the reputation of the province throughout the world and today we are spoken of as a race of robbers and bandits.

"The Government's wasteful expenditures on subjects which guarantee no return on the investment have resulted in banks refusing to make any further advances to the province." Turning to the question of agriculture, Mr. Godbout said that the present administration's method of agricultural credits was more costly to the farmers of province than if the Liberal Party's plan to apply the federal Government's here had been supported. "During the last election campaign, I could have easily included a provincial agricultural credit plank: in my platform, and I knew that it would have won several thousand votes," he continued. "I did not do it because did not honestly think that the plan was good. Someone said before that I was too honest to be a politician.

Well the day that I have to be dishonest take part in politics I will return to my farm and devote my time to my own affairs "Chief complaint against the federal plan was that the interest rate of five per cent. was too high and that the cost of verifying deeds was excessive. What we planned was to contribute one per cent. to the cost of the interest rate to support half the cost of verification of the deeds. In this manner the farmers could have obtained loans over a 23-year period at four per cent.

while under the present system they are obliged to pay four per cent. over a 40-year age, was the A Class winner, Leonard Applebaum. Telfer was driving a speedy, streamlined model "Thunderbolt" while Applebaum's car was nameless. Telfer averaged approxi30 miles an hour on his final mately, and finished the 1.100-foot course only one or two yards ahead of his rival. The all-day meet was an attraction for both boys and adults.

In spite of cool weather and cloudy skies the crowd was at the track by nine o'clock in the morning, when the final white lines marking off the course, were being laid out. All cars were tested and weighed before the first heats began and were then taken to the top of twelvefoot ramp for the start. Heats were run off with three cars at a time, heat winners racing again in the (Continued on Page 19.

Judge Tetreau postponed the sentence after the hearing on Saturday in view of the serious offence of breaking and entering connected with the theft. Hutchinson broke into the store on Friday night and took the money, period." SEES "PETTY POLITICS." Mr. Godbout said that the Government was playing "petty politics" with the agricultural credits and tended that unless a farmer could give evidence that he was a supporter of the National Union Government he could not obtain a loan. "One National Union leader said recently that the agricultural credits had come to the aid of half the farmers of the province," he declared. "If that statement was true, it would mean that more than 000 people had received loans.

We know that there have been applications for loans received from 30,000 farmers and that only 6.000 have been accorded." (According to figures issued by the Quebec Farm Credit Bureau yesterday, 9,900 loans involving 595,024 have been granted and actual payment made on 7,036 loans amounting to $17,033,049.) T. D. Bouchard, M.L.A. for St. Hyacinthe and House leader of the Liberal Party, dealt with Premier Duplessis' recent visit to England and charged that he had gone there to meet friends of Lord Beaverbrook, whom he described as one of the largest shareholders of Price Brothers and Company.

"If what Lord Beaverbrook wants in the Province of Quebec is nothing which will act to the detriment of the citizens of this province, then there is no reason why the Premier's visit to England should be cloaked with such great secrecy," said Mr. Bouchard. Leclere, with Joseph Edward L. Perry, a native of Prince Island, left Verdun early in June in a tiny undecked sailboat and announced that Paris was their destination. Perry apparently left his companion after their Arst boat was stolen from Louise Basin at Quebec City.

At the time they left Montreal, the pair announced that their trig to Paris would take them practically around the world since they intended to hug the coastline of North America, Asia, Africa and Europe to arrive at their destination. "Tima is no object. I've got the rest of my life to make the Leclerc said when he left, Death Held Accident A verdict of accidental death was returned by Coroner Richard Duckett on Saturday at inquest into the death of Jack O'Brien, 40- year-old yardmaster of the C.N.R.
