Significance. Canada's Dole-hungry proletariat has just terrified Canada's rich, pious and Conservative Premier Richard Bedford Bennett (a personal friend of King George) into turning his political coat, emerging as a New Deal radical (TIME, Jan. 14). Just how frightened were the Conservative leaders of National Government in London last week? They were not frightened. Neither was the average British Islander.

...henhouse in the quiet Ozark village of Couch, Mo. (pop. 59) last week, Mrs. Henry Bennett found an egg imprinted with the phrase: "Here my word 35." Viewing this as a religious portent, Mrs. Bennett told her neighbors about it. A wave of excited piety overtook Couch. To Mrs. Bennett's home went visitor after visitor, to emit fervent prayers.
