five years from the date Of contract
Six per cent will be charged on de-
fcrred payments. The rules permit

and interest stops from the date OF
such payment.
All sales will be made subject to

Using the sale. His purchase offer
must be large enough to cover the

property. If the applicant is not the
successful bidder his deposit will be
returned to him.
The rules require the land commits

"Was that necessary" Stephen
asked of Pamela when they were
out Of Huck's hearing. They had left
him speechless with surprise. His

seconds, however, but in those few
seconds Pamela had twined her arm

Pamela felt like telling him that
Mildred wasn't the sort for him to

say anything to bring the other girl

The bed. six feet wide, and seven

many OF Miss Nissens love scenes
with Farrell are staged here; and.
