Hepburn Quits
as prenlier
Stormy ontorio
Leoder Resigns

TORONTO, Oct. % - R -
Premier Mitchell Hepburn OF
Ontario, stormy petrol of Can
adian politics and severe critic
of Prime Minister w. L. Mac
Kenzie Kings dominion govern
ment, resigned last night with an
unexpectedness in keeping with
his colorful and frequently spec
tacular public career.
Without explanation the 49,
year-old Hepburn surrendered
the reins of the liberal provin-
cial government he has headed
for more than eight years to At
torney General Gordon Conant
and indicated his ultimate inten-
ton to quit public life and re-
tire to his 600-acre farm in
Elgin county.
Hepburn said he would re-
tain his cabinet portfolio as prov
incial treasurer for q short time
and also his seat in the legisla-
ture, but would not seek re-elec-
ton when an election is called.
ACTION A SURPRISE
His decision came as a surprise
to both political circles and to
the public, though they have be-
come accustomed to the unex-
pected during his long leader
ship of the Ontario Liberal Party,
dating back to 1880 - four years
after he entered the legislature.
A master of showmanship,
Hepburn has not only provided
Canadian newspapers with reams
of colorful copy but probably
has made the headlines in
American newspapers more than
any other provincial premier.
He caused something of fur
ore only last February when he
asserted in a by-election cam
paign speech that because Of
Pearl Harbor the main fleet of
the United States Navy is in
hiding"
He has been a bitter critic of
the war effort of the Liberal
dominion government and Prime
Minister King, whom he has at
tackled as enthusiastically as he
once stumped for him. Recently
Hepburn called the Ottawa gov
eminent "a narrow-minded and
bigoted' group which led the
Canadian people Ito feel safely
sheltered behind the American
Eagle and the British Lion"
BITTERLY ASSAILED
Hepburn was assailed bitterly
in turn by his opponents, one of
whom - E. B. Jolliffe, an On
tario Cooperative Common
wealth Federation leader -
said not long ago:
He opens his mouth with the
best intentions and the next
thing you know he is saying
just what the doctor ordered -
and the doctors name is Goeb-
bells"
Conant. who was sworn in to
succeed Hepburn last night, is
81, a former crown county for
Ontario County, and was first
elected to the legislature in 1887.
He said the personnel of the new
government would be announced
in a few days.

time to digest these facts. But we've
pot the question clear. Now one of US
has got to find the answer. y
There was a real poser in Cuba,
where some thousands Of acres of
Hershey cane produced sugar, and
where quota restrictions limited the
amount of cane farmer could
harvest. Since sugar was virtually
the only crop of the cane-growers. it
meant many a sad, lean year.
The farmers plight kept M. S.
awake nights. But next time there
was a planting, peanuts sprouted
around the rim of the cane. Today
peanuts are a ranking crop OF the
island, and the oil refinery is hum
ming. Millions Of pounds of peanuts
come from the ground each year -
and many who were idle and hungry,
are busy and fed.
A quarter of century ago, with
little ado and no publicity, Hershey
nut all his money into boys, found
ing the school where today LOCO
orphans live in homelike cottages.
At one stroke of his pen he gave to
this future boy empire his entire
personal fortune vast holdings in
the Hershey Chocolate Company,
and Hershey town itself - lock,
stock and barrel.

syIvania farm boy cares little for

Boys Town? He could not resist
dropping down to visit Father

EVERYTHING Hershey does has a
touch of growing, young America.
What's new? What are young people
interested in? What would help build
up young America best?
Hershey town may be off the
beaten track, but Hershey is not.
He opened the sports arena with
the nationally famous "Ice Follies"
and drew trainloads of people from
Harrisburg and Reading to his town.
In the Industrial School, he insisted
on such advanced mechanical courses

said.
"Neil's lips drew to a thin,

He produced the paper and she

SAID one of the guards.

gripDed the guards shoulder. Ed,
ism that a woman getting into the
car? II is a woman. Let's 60,
We're supposed to pick up Lund-
Qulst at the gate"
The car up ahead had pulled
away. In a moment Tay and the
three guards stopped at the gate.
But there was no Neil Lundquist.
Something's gone wrong" one
of the men in the rear seat said.
We'll. there's no time to look
around" Tay said quickly. Come
on, follow them. We can't let 'em
out of sight"
Wee better turn out our lights,
Ed" Of the men said. Cant
take a chance on their knowing
they're being talled-yet.'
They switched off their lights and
followed the car in front of them.
Not until they merged into slight
~ heavier traffic leading toward
New York did they turn them on.
Molla opened her eyes when the
car stopped and the motor was
turned off. Neil had recovered con-
seriousness. He turned around weak
ly. Easy does it, kid he NUT
tered.
Kurt, sitting behind the wheel,
merely looked back at her and said
nothing. Otto got out and disap-
peared into = small apartment
house.
Molla didn't recognize the apart
ment as she had visited. Otto
came out in a few minutes with a
brief case and the a got under
way again. A few minutes later
they came to the George Washing
ton bridge.
Otto pressed a gun into Neils
side as they approached the toll
house. Not a sound" he said. The
same warning was transmitted to
Molla in the back seat.
Kurt paid the toll and they
crossed over to New Jersey at Fort
Lee. Neil looked out and saw a
sign pointing to New Jersey shore
points.
For two long hours they hummed
over the broad shore highways.
Then they cut over some marshland
and they smelled the sea air. Kurt
drove of the road and up the
driveway to a small house. A small
stream ran almost through the
back yard.
And now my guests have ar
rived" he said mockingly. Come"

He pointed to another room.
"You-in there, he said to Neil.

Molla az too tired even to
think. Still wearing Burton Whit
Worth's o%Vercoat, she Topped down
on the hard bed and covered her
self with a blanket.
In the morning Kurt served them
coffee, bacon and eggs,
He watched them eat with great
interest. You have good appet.tes.
And a good appetite, We'll satisfied,
should put one IN a pleasant mood
Neil pushed his plate aside.
"Okay, snake eyes, What's the

as you put it, is quite simple-and

he knew he was wrong.

Kurt smiled. Yes he will. You

hearts bleed easily. Thus will Mr..

Molla shuddered as the picture
flashed into her mind. There was no
mistaking Hurts cold, matter-of-
fact manner Of speech.
She looked over at Neil. His face
was a mask, expressionless, unre-
vealing. She marveled at his COM
posture. Surely. he must realize, too,
that Wilhelm was deadly in earnest,
that he would stop at nothing.
