Ridiculous Values A new kind of "price war" has hit Toronto, and it features what looks like ridiculous trade in values. R. T. Barnes, secretary of the Retail Merchants association, said the idea was to cut the ini tial down payments on the items involved, thus making it both easier for the customer to buy and for the store to sell.

Law To Expire - Of some 8,000 weddings In Japan involving U. S. service personnel since 1945, nearly 7,000 have been American men taking Japanese wives. Nearly 4,000 of these brides have left Japan for the United States. The reason for the rush is this: U. S: public law 6, which enables members of the armed forces to iake Japanese brides to the Unit ed States, expires next Wednes day. Previously Extended The situation has come up be fore, but each time a new law has extended the deadline. How ever, nobody ever knows for sure.

You state Arthur Murray said it was not true hus bands did not like to dance, that they just didn't like to dance with their wives. Wasn't there a song titled, "I Can Dance With Anybody But My Wife?"
