JUST 10 yards away, down the slope the salmon

As though the wind-whipped min was flogging them into an ecstasy of agony.

TURN WORM

Isn't on accord what happens when a worm turns. But if they turn and when they turn the shock to the predatory bird must be something con shlerable.

And the veunted sclidarity of "the workers" took a shaking from the solidarity of the employers, For the Clydo Shipbuilders' Association an- nounced that men who lost their jobs as a result of such a closure would not be re-employed in other yards.
