I Section Two TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1954 Pages 17 to 30 Star Ufa Wittier Uaxiu Navy's Record Makes St. Laurent Proud to Be Canadian By Norm Hull TT WOULD appear the provincial police have their work cut out for them in solving the brutal murder of a Woodstock girl on a Maidstone Township farm road over 4he weekend. The experienced officers in charge of the investigation, however, know that much-needed clues turn up where and when least expected and are confident something will show up to lead them to the vicious killer. PIGHT now they are most anxious to trace the where St. Paul's Structure On Sands Shallow Foundation Supports London's Great Cathedral There is a story that in the early days of the air blitr on London IV abouts of the girl from the time she left Toronto last Wednesday until she lost a struggle for her life on the Maidstone sideroad.

They know she was in the habit or nitcn-nikmg from place to place and would like to city policemen used to look around in the dusk of a morning after heavy bombing and say: "It's O.K. St. Paul's Cathedral is still there," writes Melita Knowles from London, to the Christian Science Monitor. When the din of battle died away Londoners breathed a sigh of re lief and echoed similar sentiments: "St Paul's has come through." The great national shrine in the past 20 years has been put to tests undreamed of by Sir Christopher WMM 4pm I foil II I HcX. jkVsASH, Wren, its great master builder at the beginning of the 18th century.

Though battered in parts, and need ing restoration work, the fabric itself has held. It was with surprise, therefore, I read a letter from an American hear from anyone who may have noticed her on the road between here and Toronto. A UTHORITIES would also appreciate any information from anyone who may have noticed a car on, the death lane, known as the 18th and 19th sideroad, a half-mile from the Eighth concession, some time Friday night. They are also anxious to know whether or not the girl spent any time in Windsor and are seeking leads in that direction. SMALL business men are finding that it does not pay to co-operate with, the Unemployment Insurance Commission.

When they are forced to fire anyone because the employe is not doing his work properly they are learning it is much easier for themselves if they do not give the true reason for such action. KNOWING he will not receive compensation if he has been fired, the employe will advise the commission that he was just laid off because of lack of business. Upon checking the card filed by the employer the commission will then refer the case to a court of referees. THIS means the business owner must take time away from his work to appear before the court and testify that he was telling the truth when he filed the reasons for letting the man go. Such employers cannot afford such -time so they have decided it is much easier just to say they laid the man off because things were quiet and let him collect from the government, even though he deesn't deserve it.

IT IS felt that if the commission is not prepared to accept the employer's report it should have a member of its staff call around and see him and check his story rather than accept the employe's explanation and force the employer to testify in his own behalf. EMPLOYERS have nothing to gain by fixing a report so that an ex-employe does not receive unemployment insurance. However, some have thought in the past they were doing their duty by making true statements and reader of this page in which she asked "if British engineers had discovered how to keep the sand, on which St. Paul's is built, wet."

The workers danced, enjoyed the entertainment, ate the sandwiches and went home before Comrade Sagharcos got to the platform.

Only four stayed to listen to him. But comrade lecturer had the last laugh. He said the cost of the food and entertainment would be beducted from the wages of those who went home. tory workers on the work of the "Freedom Fighters' Association."

It was learned later that cheques for $200 and $50 not covered by funds in the bank had been cashed in the restaurant.

The matter should be investigated. William Jennings, manager of the restaurant, said he has received instructions not to cash cheques in the restaurant.

staff who acted as leaders of vol THE visit of Queen Elizabeth to New Zealand and Australia was covered by some of the top newsmen in the business and many vivid and well-written stories on the trip appeared in this and other Canadian papers. However, as is always the case during such tours, the most interesting stories are the ones that come out after the trip. They are the little off-sides picked up by officials accompanying the guest of honor and related "off the record" by them to their friends after the visit. THESE are the little bits that find their way in letters from those first to receive them to their acquaintances all over the world. We found most interesting some such observations of the New Zealand trip in a letter received by a Windsor resident from a friend in that country.

THIS piece of interesting correspondence reveals that the Queen had rather a rough time during her New. Zealand tour. She was train, car and air sick and in addition all members of the party were ill from food poisoning at Tonga. Elizabeth had to take a double dose of salt and castor oil to make sure she would be fit for the next stop. LET'S just pick out a paragraph to tell another interesting sidelight.
