ESCAPE
By
Royal Brown‘
This has been in 3111i‘! mind that night less than a week prior to his dropping anchor off Pia- quasret Inn. when ha" lat down with his father in the drawing-room of his father's suite. Though it was then July, the North Atlantic was chill. a fire burned in the open grate that was that last touch oi oqeangolng luxury. It was one of those moments, necessarily rare, that kept them in close communion. Before his father had been talk- irng five minutes, Bing felt better. He discovered that his father. at the time of his graduation from college, had felt he could never make the grade.
“But it's like any other grade. Bing," he had said toward the end. You take it a step at a time. And don't worry about the responsi- bility. It won't be thrust upon you until you have the strength and capacity or desire for it, some- body clse will—somebody who will ilaist on shifting it to his owl shoulders.
"I dreaded it. but I find a ccr- tain satisfaction in it now. As you know, I spent two years after grad- uating on a, trip around the world. Perhaps you'd like to do that. It’: a world worth knowing. on the whole.
“There's one thing more," he said. His eyes twlnkled. "I have the impression you had an interest- lng trip across."
Now how, wondered Bing, did he know that? -
“She was a darned nice girl," he told his father, “She's married now to a. chap in Paris, and he's darned lucky." _
"I rather suspect he may be."

agreed his father. "And I hope ithat when your time comes I'll be able to say-and beilevc- the snmc of you." Before Bing could answer he added quickly. "Don't misunder- stand me, Bing. A man's choice oi ‘his wife should be as personal as ihls choice oi his neckties. I don't ‘plan to direct your choice. I do hope though that you will never forget that character and courage are as important in a woman as in cl m-an. Of course there is no reo- scn why you should marry a poor cirl if you choose, but such things as background. prior history and breeding do count. They all bclp, ding." he had concluded. , m l Blng's father had denied any in- tent to direct his choice oi g-wifc, hut had he been hinting at a choice the would strongly approve? Was this father saying indirectly that
Fredericka Edmans was the girl
he, Bing, would be wise to marry?
Bing knew that his stepmother believed implicitly just that. She certainly was doing her best to make his choice for him, Some- times he wondered if she would not succeed. ,
The essentials his father had outlined did all fit Fredericks — Ricky to her intimates, and to Bing. Ricky was a peach. Her charm was obvious, and Bing was very sure she had character-he knew that she had courage. And she certain- ly had background and breeding, but she didn't have much money.
That last made it hard for Bing. He knew that Ricky wanted money, wanted it terribly, and he did not hold that against her. She must feel that way in the circle in which she moved. She might be very gay and gallant and joke about her poverty. but she would feel it keenly.
Sometimes Bing felt he really ought to marry Ricky, But that, in turn. always made him feel that he was a conceited ass. “She'd probably turn you down flat,” he always assured himself.
Ricky was at Bar Harbor now, a guest of his stepmother. Was that in his father's mind when he had said the morning they landed: "While you're thinking over what I 581d. Why not run down to Bar Harbor, Bing? Lucille will be glad to see you-and have you." Lucille was Bing'a stepmother, She certainly would be glad to see Bing, considering that Ricky was there. And his father liked Ricky a lot. Most men did,
Bing, starting for Bar Harbor in his roadster, had been thoughtful. He felt as if he were being deftly maneuvered by forces with whtch l-._~ couldn't come to grips, 1-1’; he. ban to wonder what it would be like to be married to Ricky.
He was quite sure that if he had to marry somebody just then, he'd prefer Ricky to any girl he knew that was free to marry him. But he didn't want to marry anybody really. was in no hurry to. Nor was he in any hurry to get to Bar Har- bor. He was. if only subconsciously. SPERM: some way to escape when he first glimpsed the Ellen J. The Ellen J had been to lea, was Just slipping into a wharf to discharge crew snd dunnage. Bing would have paused at any time to watch a sight such as she present- ed. He had ‘nocked around boats all hll life, had ‘that lovo for them that some men focus on horses or dogs.
One might wonder what heJaw ln the Ellen J. She was no racer, and to those to whom a boat means mahogany and plats white paint and chrome fittings, ‘the did not r-lte a aecond glance.

MISS EDNA GRANT
At a meeting at Midale. bask. called to oppose the establishment of a beer parlor in the town “even the bootlegger came out to see what was doing," said Miss Edna Grant, national field secretary of th'e W. C. T. U, while addressing W c '1‘ U delegates from fncross Canada. in convention at Hotel Saskatchewan. Thursday mornmg. This was an example used by Miss Grant to show the increase in interest in alcohol education during the last few months. As a result of the meeting, there is no beer parlor at Mldale, .he said. Christian activities oi the W C T. U. have been stressed and young people and members of churches of all denominations, sects. faiths and creeds have been visited. Miss Grant said, while summarizing her work for the two years that she served as field secretary. "Canada was crossed three times." she said, "and each province visit- ed two or three times." Atotal of 1,086 talks to churches, Sunday schools, church conventions, teach- er training classes, girls‘ work boards. girls’ camps and other church groups‘have been given. Miss Grant said. She reported F5.- 000 people were reached, 63.000 being youth. Thousands of miles were‘ travelled to reach the 356 towns, villages and cities she vis- Examples Given “Liquor flows_ iireely and evils of all sorts follow in its steps," she continued. Homes for unmar- ried mothers are places that make one realize what alcohol is and what it does, said Miss Grant. She has visited jails, prisons. reform schools, hospitals. sanltorla and homes for unmarried mothers "to try and help those whose lives have been ruined or scarred by drink and who are confined to places of punishment or for treatment," she said.
MISLEADING anirsnrrscrn-zurs
The following is quoted from an advertisement in one of the pap- ers:
"The grand spirit of fair play goes beyond the stadium beyond the sports ground. You can see it in a thousand ways i-n our every- day llfe. The spirit of fair play has always been and will always re- main. a very basis of our society

a brewing company.
Some spirit of fair play-that- when they have beer prohibited from advertising their devilish product. they take this-underhnnd- ed means of keeping their name before the public.
Is it a grand spirit of fair play in any company to take the work- ing man's hard-earned money and sell him something that will lessen his working power; to take the bread out of the mouths of his wife and children in order to line their own pockets; to use their own - "nous wealth and influence in such a way as to prevail "oon the Government to send liquor to the soldiers at the front instead of the necessary guns and ammunition. 1s there any semblance of fair play i-n such dealings? ‘
For any brewing companyio pub- lish such an advertiseme sounds to us very much like hypocrisy and fr-aud, g good-will advertisemerlt of evil deeds. -Edith Stems.
TOTAL ABSTINENCE IS AIM 0F CHURCH
MONTREAL-The full member- ship of the United Church of Oa- nada will be called upon to prac- tice total abstinence and to r9- frain from offering cocktails or other drinks containing beverage alcohol to their guests on any oc- casion, in a report being prescnt- ed today at. the church's 12th gen- eral council by Rev. J. B. Mulch- mor of Toronto, secretary of the Board of Evangelism and Social Service.
The request is made "in view of the widespread wreckage of hu- manity caused by the use of bev- erage alcohol(and in the be- lief that total abstinence) la the only Wise and safe course to be followed."
TEMPERANCE ORATIONS
“Beware the quicksand plain; of moderation!” was the warning at the youth rally of the W. C. T. U. convention Tuesday evening. The speaker was 14-year-old Margaret (Peggy) Brand of Saskatoon who was awarded first place and a sold medal for her excellence in oration.
There were six other contestants, five girls and one boy. All Wet! awarded golden maple leaf plnl and commended on the hiah stand- ard of their work. Ron MvKittflfil of North Battleford who said, "Goa I wish there was another fella: here." gave the only humorous re- citation of the evening. He present- ed a father-son dialogue with the son running the father into a cor- ner by polnted temperance qual- tions. -

Entering the dining room at Pis- quanct Inn, Bing decided that com- ing ashore had been a mistake. He should have stayed aboard the Ellen J, had his dinner there.
"Better cook it myself than be cooked myself," was the way he summed up his fisrt impression of that dining room. Nevertheless, man being what he ls. the puppet of the conventiom. he made no effort to retreat. In- stead. he permitted himself to be seated at the table by the window. There were a few diners still left. among them being the Mmrtlns. Min Martin gava Bing a awlft glance. A second before she had been sulklly silent, now abruptly aha began to laugh and talk gayly to her progenitors. Her father looiced pnaled, but her rnothn not.
Subjects chosen by the other con- testants ran from humorous veraa on the Battle of the Corpusclol (with alcohol as the near defeat).

Friends and relatives of alcoholic folk have often written to Miss Grant asking personally for help. "We need to be seeking, not only to cure those who are addicted by liquor. but to keep others from dis- aster," she laid.
