TTAWA:
The advocates of birth control are elated by a victory""scored over the Roman Catholic opponents to the use of contraceptives.

The Roman h ̈ ̈ Catholic Church strongly opposed Miss Palmer's activities, but the magistrate ruled that her work was in the public interest.

Lost 100 Yards From His Home: Farmer's Plight
home late
RETURNING mending the
week-end with a friend, a Rhenos- terfontein farmer decided to take
a short cut through the bush.
.
The night was dark and over-
cast, and in a few minutes the farmer found himself completely lost in the dense bush. After riding about vainly for several hours, he decided to tie his horse' to a tree and wait for the dawn.
Ungirthing his saddle, he placed it beneath a tree and,. using it as a pillow, he covered himself with his greatcoat and tried to sleep.
Unfortunately, about an hour
later rain began to fall in a steady downpour, and the farmer was soon drenched to the skin." He spent the rest of the night in this miserable state, dozing off just before dawn.
He awoke with a start to hear a cock crow close by.
His surprise and annoyance can well be imagined when he found. himself less than 100 yards from his back door.

has become a depositor in the Post Office Savings Bank. This was revealed by the Queen when she visited the Post Office stand at the British Industries Fair.
Prince Edward, the one-year- old son of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, is also a depositor. He owns a "home safe"-a glitter- ing chromium box with parti- tions for every type of coin and notę. The Duke accepted the safe recently when he at- tended the seventy-fifth anni-. versary celebrations of the Post Office Savings Bank movement.
