mittee on the Court House Building
of Worcester was that the ceiling and
walls of the Court room are in need
of repair and repaint, also several
flaked spots throughout the building
should be retouched.
That space for the proper preserv-
ing and protection of the County
Treasurer's Records seems to be in
adequate.
That in the best interest of the
proper protection to the building and
records of Worcester County, it is
recommended that various items of
antiquated furniture, boxes, paper,
etc., be removed from the hallway and
other places throughout the building.

New Bonds of an Old Friendship
Philadelphia RecordD

Philadelphia Record) Establishment of a permanent Joint Defense Board for the United States and Canada does not change the relationship between the two countries. Rather it implements in the most practical possible way the close friendly relations that have existed for many years between the two countries.
 Such joint defense board would usually follow a formal defensive alliance between two countries. But between the United States and Canada such an alliance is not necessary.
 We hope that every citizen of both countries understands that the United States and Canada are bound to work together and to fight together if either nation is invaded The existence of that long, vu- nerable unfortified border than that Canada and the United States trust each other. It also that neither will willingly permit hostile Power to establish itself the other side of that border. ltf~.
 Thus the unfortified border itself is the most profound expression of mutual interest between the two countries. President Roosevelt has explicitly stated the fact in several speeches
 His meeting with Prime Minister Mackenzie King resulted in specific action, the establishment of Joint Board look to the defense of the northern part of the New World
 The board will concern itself with the placement of air bases the movement of ships and of troops The time is past when it is enough to know that we would send help to Canada if Canada is attacked.
 What we are deciding now is just what help we will send in just what way. The board will study the obstacles to efficient cooperation and seek to remove them Such efforts may take the form Of the construction of new highways, or the relocation of air bases or recommendations for better dis ribution of industrial establishments necessary to de- fense.
 A great step toward the solidarity and the de- fense of this hemisphere has been taken by the es- tabishment of the Permanent Joint Defense Board. We hope nations to the south of us can be brought into similar hard-and-fast arrangement.

Benefic aspects rule today. It is fortunate for those who. deal in the finer things of life. Purveyors of music and art should benefit. The evening is a time when pro- gresS will become manifest in the work of campaign managers or civic leaders.
 Heart and Home: Women are un- der the best possible direction to- day. It is date for seeking em- ployment, but sudden decisions should be avoided. The judgment may not be trustworthy, but there will be good luck which should be wisely used. Love affairs will flour ish under this configuration which encourages the marriage of those who have engaged in summer TO- mances and the beginning of new interest on the part of young folk.
 Business Affairs: Merchants and manufacturers may expect lively times through the autumn when the great outpouring of public funds for defense will benefit per- sons in every walk zof life. Danger of graft 4nd prefiteering will be evident, despite Governmental safe

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2

Good and evil planetary aspects contend today. The late hours are fortunate for workers and those who employ them. The morning is promising for the signing of leases or contracts.
 Heart and Home: Women should be cautious today. It is wise to defer important decisions or initia- tive. There may be extreme sensi- tiveness regarding business matters and an inclination to resent sights. Under this configuration the tenn per should be sternly controlled. Fault finding and criticism should be avoided with special care. This is a time for wise survey of ones faults as well as ones talents. Business Affairs: New world con- ditions will affect trade and will introduce many novel articles of merchandise. Merchants who cater to women's needs will find less de- mand for costly, things and more for practical articles. Dress ana so-' cial customs will show the influence of changing conditions Modistes and milliners will meet problems that require foresight. Fashions meeting the demands of women who are in public service will be profitable.
