More than the future of A & P is at stake, according to the be- | liefs expressed by many groups in [heir resolutions. i The resolutions showed there ivas a growing concern among Americans that the government nay be moving toward a revision 1 traditional standards of competition under the guise of acting against monopolies. This concern was reflected in the action of the American Farm Bureau Federation at its national ( convention in Chicago.

Book Review "Once U$pn a Time" by Vaughn Wilkins is another of those interesting "adventures" spun in the style of his 'And So . . . Victoria" and "Being Met Together". In this new work he displays his talent for exciting plot, fine melodrama, and picturesque characters, this time in a fast-moving modern tale of adventure and love. Warrach, a modern buccaneer and delettante, who belongs in the immortal company of Robin Hood and the Scarlet Pimpernel, weaves himself thru a very English course of events. j Who was the eloquent Mr. Broth (bcw.cr known as Warrach)?
