 If that seaman had taken the time to think things over three or four years ago, he and his wife might never have called their marriage quits. But he didn't take time to think things through calmly until circumstances fixed him so that he couldn't do much of anything but think,
 That is the reason for the rift raft suggestion, Any husband or wife whose marriage seems to be headed for the rocks could get off on a mental raft ard do @ little thinking that might result in mending the rift.

To substantiate its claim that the meters are not a nuisance, the defendant states that no damage suits for injuries have been filed against the city.
 Win File Papers
 The plaintiff will now file papers in answer to the city's claim for an appeal and Judge Thomas J. Wall who returned the common pleas pleas decision will rule on request for the appeal finding. The cor poration counsel had until Friday tc file appeal papers, and his early action indicates that efforts VII be made to receive 8 supreme cour' decision at the earliest possible time
 Questions on law which the de- fendant asks to be renewed include the. following: Did the defendant acting through the Board of Police Commissioners as traffic authority have the right to install and op' crate meters? Did it have the righ to make regulations for their op' eration, including the charging O q small fee for parking? Did th' meter charge have a reasonable re lation to the installation and op eration and maintenance of meters Was the money received from th' meters so clearly and obviously les than expenses that it could only b. considered . regulatory fee and no a revenue measure? Was the pres ence of parking meters an interfer ence of property rights?. Do tn meters constitute a nuisance?

 The trawler on which I travelled was in full charge of our convoy. Her skipper directed the movements of the cargo vessels and patrol craft as planned by a joint U. s. British board. Occasionally, the skipper said, orders were balled up but he hadn't lost a ship yet. His word was law, and the coast guard cutters and PC Boats looked to him for guidance.
 They referred to our trawler as "she" and "her", but she aint no lady. I found her rough and tough and armed to the teeth against sub- marines planes and surface craft as well--for conveying in the English Channel was three~di- mension job.
 She was really roofing footing tug boat Annie with brass knuckles and she knew her business. She was built in 1887 for the White Sea Fishing waters. and was made sturdy enough to cope with Arctic gales and Ice Hoes.

 Mrs. Luce's opponents for the nomination issued a joint state ment saying their candidates would be taken to the floor.
 Mrs. Luce" a statement said. "has been manipulated without consulting the voters or the dele- gates to this convention and by her own admission does not possess the qualifications for this high ofLice. America must rise above political machine maneuvering. It is this kind of internal action that de- stroyed France and threatens 70 ue" stroy our country"

BRITISH TROOPS
 IN MADAGASCAR
Ccontinusd from Page D

A communique from East African British headquarters said Ambanja had been occupied Saturday after slight opposition to the north had been overcome. One of the three British landings had been made at the island of NoSy-Be covering ATn- banja ilarbor. The communique did not indicate, however, whether the forces occupying ArnbaH1ja had come from Nosy-Be or, as Vichy dis- patches indicated, 15O miles down the west coast from Diego Suarez.
 Thubit appeared at least four British columns were now moving through Madagascar: one moving down the west coast from Diego Suarez, one down the west coast from Ambanja, one inland from Maiunga flaming out toward Tar- a1farive and Andreba, and one inc land from Morondava toward Ant sirabe and Tananar1ve.
 Throughout the island, British sources said, casualties were light although the Vichy forces were putt ting up stubborn resistance in some  sectors. British casualties at the crossing of the Betsiboka, for ex- ample, amounted to four wounded, compared to 47 prisoners taken from French forces defending the cross ing.
 Neither side had anything to re- port from Tulear, southernmost port on the west coast of Madagas- car. Vichy had reported British naval units off Tulear Friday, but there was no indication Q landing had been attempted.

The Republicans hope not only to defend successfully all four posts at stake, but also to increase the size of their vote above the GA per cent which they obtaiped in 1940.
 Chief Interest in Gov.
 Chief interest centered around the contest between Gov. Sumner Sewall (R). seeking a second term, and George Washington Lane Jr. (D), Lewiston banker making his poli- tical debut. Dubbed by his friends "a statesman in business" Lane is a self-made man whose rose from bank janitor to bank president, from theater usher to theater chain oper- ator, from penniless boy to million aire. Six years ago Lane rejected the gubernatorial nomination, say- ing he didn't want to run until he was sure he could win.
 A Washington columnist com mented recently that one of Lanes enterprises, the National Fireworks O., received navy munitions con- tracts aggregating about sSe.O00, ,O0O soon after he became a guberna- toriai candidate.
 Asserting that the columnlst had under estimated the volume Of con- tracts, Lane retorted that his firm won the awards because it was equipped to handle the work: that he ran for governor merely because he felt the state needed c success ful businessman.

 "Nothing will change the mayors mind" said a close associate today. However, State Chairman John T. Mccarthy and even Gov. Hurley may make a final effort to have MT Scully change his mind and agree tc run.
 Waterbury's 46 delegates are pledged to vote for the renomina- ton of Gov. Hurley, who was op- posed by the local organization two years ago. In 1S40, the Brass City delegates backed ex-Gov.
