the fairy led him safely home
His mother was SO glad 10 see
him. She told him 10 never,
never 20 &c. the woods alone

find its counterpart in the domestic sphere

workers in continents faces difficulties Not only
does it have contend with the ntgues and Vaccinations
of the World Federation Of Trade Unions enjoying the
port of the Kremln and its satellite governments through
out the world Many internal problems not the least Of
them of religious and racial character will beset the
men But however great the obstacles trust nay
sure that the demonstrated capacity of free working
and women everywhere will overcome them.
We live in of bewildering changes rapid shifts
of allegiance, concentrations of power Only time
tell whether the ICFU will prove the raying center of
