 Hildur rushed down the stone stairs sobbing under her breath "Oh, I must find my opal" The stair turned and finally it ended in a fine big room of white stones In the corner sat the most fright ening, tiny woman. She chuckled when she saw Hildur
 "So," said the witch - because that's what she was-"we have a Princess as a visitor today"
 "Oh, please" said Hildr, give me back my opal. I shall be late to the dance and my father will be displeased"
 No hurry" said the witch Tell me about your party. haven't been up to the surface for a hundred years now. I'd like some news"
 Hildur choked back her fear and told as much as she could.
 The old witch watched her and she seemed satisfied with Hildur truthfulness. So she said, what will you give me for telling you where the opal is?'
 "Oh, anything" said Hildur and she held out her hands.
 Not so fast said the witch.

I'm in no hurry. Will you give me the first wish you have afte. you become 2l?'
 "Oh, yes" said Hildur
 Then open that white door and follow the stairs" said the witch
 So Hildur did as she was told and there she found more stairs.
 She hurried down those. They also opened into room. But this one glowed silver. In the corner sat another evil-looking, tiny wo- man. She was a second witch.
 Well. well, a Princess!" she chuckled "Tell me about ths world above. I haven't been there for a hundred years Hildur had half expected this so she hurriedly told all about her party that day and she wound up with, please, do tell me where my opal is.'
 The witch looked pleased with Hildur's story, so she said, What will you give me if I tell you where to look?'
 "Oh, most anything" said Hil- dur.
 Will you give me your second wish after you become PIP"
 "Oh, certainly" said Hildur.
 Well, then, open that silver door and follow the stairs said the witch. So Hildur opened the door and again she hurried down stairs and then she stepped into golden room, and again she saw a tiny, old witch in the corner.
 This witch. too, chuckled ana said, Well, we have a Princess to-

 What will you give me for the opal?" asked the witch. Will you give me the third wish you have after you become PIP"
 "Oh, certainly" said Hildur and she held out her hands.
 The witch leaned toward her and put the opal in. her hands. "Oh. thank you" said Hildur "and now I must hurry or shall be late for the party" So she ran up all the stairs she had come down Suddenly she was in the red rose garden again, and the hole in the ground closed up as though it had never been there. Hildur said nothing to anyone about her strange journey. But she was to feel very badly about it years later.

OTTAWA, Dec. 6-What is des- cribed as one of the worlds largest airfields is being established in isolated Hamilton Inlet, Labrador. It will be part of Americas defense plans.
 By air the site is about the same distance from Montreal at the New Foundland bases, used for a hop ping off point for ferry bombers going to Great Britain.
 The air port site will require more than 1000 acres of land, now wooded. and with considerable muskeg. When completed, the field will form an alternative to the New Foundland bases, and be less liable to fog. It can also provide an ideal operations base or center against any enemy underwater raiders off Eastern Canada.
