Boom of Smugglers' Era Recalled As War Hits French Islands St. Pierre and Miquelorf Exchange Liquor And Lace for Meagre Fish Market Br DOUGLAS SMITH. The first of the North Ameri can hemisphere to feel the realistic touch of invasion by armed forces, St. Pierre and Miquelon, the two little French Islands some 20 miles south of -Newfoundland, are very little known to the out side world." Cradled in the stormy Atlantic, bare of heavy timber, unprotected by any high mountains, they are a prey to howling nor'easters.

Spring and Fall bring a mantle of fog from the Grand Banks, blanketing the islands from view; encircled In Winter by the Arctic Ice flow, they breed a hardy type of man. A short Summer with cooling breezes is their greatest dlmatical virtue. Ideal for Landing.

The harbor, a very shallow channel with shoals ga lore, is navigable by experienced pilots only, and ships of large tonnage have to anchor outside, although its many little bays provide ideal spots for landing parties.

The people, descendants of French fishermen who came over seas from France hundreds of years ago, are devotedly religious and predominantly of the Roman Catholic faith. The parish priest bears a large amount of. Influence upon the people but seldom interferes with politics. The people speak a pure. French that differ considerably from that of the French-Canadians.

Many of the habits of their an cestors have remained unchanged during the passing years, and ox-drawn carts bearing market produce may be seen regularly. The moral code the islands is very strict, and it is worth a girl's reputation to be seen talking to a strange man OA the street. Thj old-fashioned code of courting still prevails, and some time must elapse before the swain can be brought into the house and introduced to the girl's parents. Up to a few years ago color ful old-fashioned gay sets ot lancers, the courtesies of the Parisian waltzes were tht highlights of the dances. Between dances girls stayed on on (id of the hall and the gallants on the other, while the proud mothers beamed from the galleries as chaperons of their "petitas and escorted the young couples properly home.

Zenith of social aspirations was to be invited to functions held at the house of the Administrator, who is appointed by the French Government. Sons and daughters of the Islands gentry go to Halifax and St John's, Newfoundland, to finish their education. Main product of the islands is fish, which is salted and shipped to Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique, and other West India ports. To make, up for low prices offered on the market, the Government usually provides a bounty on each quintal caught Greatest blow to Friday's Victory loan Total Down Again Victory Bond sales in Ottawa were down again on Friday with a total subscription ot $894,000 reported for the day by Loan Headquarters.

Thursday's total was $963,200, which also represented a decrease over previous day's totals.

But the klfnda were not always the home of peace loving Time was less than 20 years ago when the roughest toughest gang of cutthroats, Negroes, Italians, Poles and dozens of mixed nationalities, sliced through the narrow inlets in knife prowed speed boats, the fastest and most powerful that money could buy, loaded to the gunwales with alcohol, to quench the thirst of prohibition-parched United States. Stealthily; they slipped around the coast line wtyh blacked out lights, came the cry of "Stop" from sentinel-watching coastguard boats, the roar of cannon as fired by the Govenment boats, and the sharp bark of Tommy guns from the rum-runners cut through the still of the night Many a secret prohibition agent of Uncle Sam, snooping around the waterfront of St Pierre to report the movements ot cargoes leaving the Islands, was found floating In the morning swell with a knife stuck between his and narrow-eyed, hard-faced men from the hell kitchens ot the New York East Side, swsg-gered into the village stores with revolvers bulging through their clothes. Colorful dsys these -when the islands thrived in prosperity.

Great boats came from Europe laden with cargoes of rum, gin, whisky, alcohol, fine wines, laces and perfumes from France, all taking advantage of this practically free port as a dumping ground, where only a nominal 10 percent duty tax was imposed. Tourists. Tourists from Canada and the United States thronged there in the Summer to go home with Irandlose tales Of hectic times, of stories of cafes selling liquor for five cents, a glass, to be followed by chasers of bottled water selling for 13 cents. OX cigarettes selling for 79 cents a carton, of best Scotch whisky at 80 cents a bottle, ot Jamaica and Demerara rum so strong it had to be diluted twice, selling for 40 cents 4 bottle.

All these were halycon days of a luxurious kit, that was suddenly bereft of all Its asy living by the repeal of the liquor laws in the United States. Today St Pierre and Miquelon shorn of luxurious dsys, entirely dependent on a meagre fish market and completely dependent on the outside world for its foodstuffs, would be extremely hard up if they were to find the dis favor of Canada and the United States.

"What America needs is a good two-handed card game." I have said this for several years, and now, it seems.

Gin Rummy is going to fill the bllt There are already millions of card players who are playing Gin Rummy, or who want to learn how. Two Play, using a standard deck ot fifty-two cards. They cut and holder of the low card deals the first hand, ten cards to each. The next card is turned up and is called the non- dealer refuses the up-card, the dealer may take it It the dealer does not want it either, the non-dealer draws the top card of the undealt pack called the "stock" and the play proceeds. Each player in turn picks up tne last discard, or draws from the stock.

and then discards, keeping his hand to ten cards. According to the rules, the pile of discards must be kept neat so that only the top card is in view. 11 tne players prefer, however, and so agree beforehand, tney may glance through the discarded pile. As in any rummy game, the object Is to match up. the cards into sets.

Three or four of a kind are a set three nines, for example. Sequences of three or more cards In the same suit form seta Club 4-5-6 or Spade K-Q-J. for example. The ace msy be used only in the sequence A-2-3, and not to "go around the as A-K-Q. Gin Rummy la sometimes called "knock because the game ends when a player knocks.

You may knock whenever the un matched cards in your hand count to 10 or less. Face cards count IS aach? other cards their soot value; The ace, being only 1. is the most valuable card to hold. Suppose, after discarding, you have only three unmatched cards an ace, a deuce and a five. These total 8, and you may knock.

When you knock, your opponent shows his hand and you count up the score. The only cards that-will count against your opponents are cards which are not matched and which he cannot "lay He lays off any card which matches one 01 your sets; for example, If you have shown Diamond he may lay off the Diamond 6 or the Diamond 10. You win the difference between your unmatched total and his.

Frank Bedard. former Com modore ot the old Victoria Yacht Club, and a member ot the Sea matched total Is IS, and you have knocked with 8. You are the winner ot the hand by 7 points. You write those 7 points down on the score sheet and proceed to deal. The winner always deals the next hand, to even things up, for in Gin Rummy the dealer is at a slight disadvantage.

If you knock and you do not win, the penalty Is severe. Your opponent will receive 10 points in addition to any difference in your totals. If you knocked with 8 and he also has 8, he scores 10 points and wins the hand; If he has only 6, he scores the difference as welt, and will get 12 points in all. The biggest thrill is to "go gin" to knock with all ten of your cards matched. For this you get a 20-point bonus and you win the hand automatically.

Your opponent may lay off all his cards but you still get your 20 points. If he has any unmatched cards, you score those as well. The first player to score 100 points wins the game, and gets a 100-point bonus for winning it Thus, if you score 105 points and your opponent has only 83, you get 22 points for the difference in your score, -plus 100 points for winning the game. For a shut-out game the bonus is 200 points. There is a further bonus, figured up at the end of the game, of 20 points for each hand you have won.

This is sometimes called a "line" or "box" bonus, because after winning each hand a player should draw a line under his score. After the game is over he counts the lines, 20 points for If you win a game In which you have won five hands, and your; opponent has won only three hands, your bonuses, at 20 points per hand, amount to 100 points, against his 60. and you add a net ot 40 points to your score. Conversely, the game winner may have to subtract some points from his grand total because the loser has won more These hand bonuses, like the bonus for winning the game, are added to your score only after the game Is over. The other bonuses, for tying the knocker or for going gin, help you in amassing the 100 points needed, for game.
