He sat with half closed eyes
watching her. She said she knew
nothing about boats, large or small,
but she had shown no fear and
quickly learned to do as he told
her. At once she had learned to let
her slim, 1.-THE body be as a part
OF the boat itself and move with 1t.
She laughed when, at his shout,
she dattened herself to let the sail
swing across as the boat tackled.
Then the wind caught the sail in its
new position and the little boat
leaped forward again. Her wavy
hair was caressed by the soft
breeze. He remembered the last
time he'd been out In a boat with
a girl. That had been In Santa Mon
lea. The girl had upset the boat
and he'd had to get her In, with an
oncoring storm blackening the sky
and rolling up the waves in the
swift, ruthless way Of the Pacific.
Anne leaned back lrstinctively to
balance against a puff Of wind. She
felt strangely excited by this little
adventure, with Mrs. Reynolds and
her wheel chair In sight on the
edge Of the Public Lot. She tossed
her head and lsughed at Dan, who
had grown strangely silent.

He reached out and covered her
hand as 1t lay on the gunwale. His
eyes twinkled as they looked
straight into hers. "she upset the

come up fast in Santa Monica. I
did get her in, but ] wasn't having

"And you didn't marry her =? How
disappointing. Isn't 1t an obligation
for a man to marry any girl whose
life he saves? I'm sure that's the
romantic version"
"She had a husband"
"Oh."

Quick as a fash he tipped the

Canada Ends
Meat Rations

rationing was suspended through
out Canada today until the con
gestion in both storage and trans
portation is cleared up"
D. c. Abbott announced suspen-
sion of the meat rationing program
in the House of Commons last
night but emphasized that it was
temporary. Canadians have been
allowed about two pounds Of meat
week. "Meatless Tuesdays also
were ordered abandoned.
Three reasons for the suspen-
sion were given by Abbott. They
were: unusually heavy marketings
Of all types OF livestock during re-
cent months and expectations that
heavy marketing will continue for
the next two or three months:
acute congestion in storage and
transportation facilities as re-
suit of these very heavy runs of
livestock; and lastly limitations
on Canadian physical capacity to
move meat to the seaboard and
overseas.
81 want to make 1t perfectly
clear that meat rationing is being
suspended. not abandoned" Abbott
said. The government is fully de-
termined that to the extent Of our
ability the essential requirements
of the United Kingdom and our
overseas forces shall be met and It
is. therefore, intended that meat
rationing be resumed as soon as
such a course will be helpful"
