Those who think he'll break it before the year is over and have backed their opinion with cold cash are Charles Allen, Vern Sykes and Russell Whitsell . . . And then there’s the case of Aaron Wagner who has been helping his dad get started in business at Oswego. He, Aaron, may also continue working at the mill this year while Ada Boe will greet Pal Shop customers during daytime hours . . . GUARANTEED Watch Repairing w. T.

TRANSPORTATION IN CHUNKING SERIOUS UNDERGROUND WORKER GIVES ADVICE A member of the Dutch und erground who has escaped to England is broadcasting a ser ies of instructions and warnings to his co-workers in the occupied country. He warns against carry ing papers—“the Gestapo can not search your brain.” Appoint ments with people you do not know personally are dangerous, he said. “Do not agree on any sign of recognition but obtain a thorough description of the person in question. A flower in the buttonhole . . . may be all right in a stage play, but is no good for underground work. Know a watchword, or better still, a watch phrase.” He also recommended that workers travel alone, make no appointments in cafes, always be punctual, and where in a strange house, find out the best wnjj to leave it in a hurry.
