...painful dilemma was faced last week by the representative of King George VI in the Province of Alberta, Lieut.-Governor J. C. Bowen. He was expected by Premier William ("Bible Bill") Aberhart to sign, as a formality, three bills just passed by the Legislature and designed to save the now economically shaky "Social Credit" regime in Alberta which pious radiorating Mr. Aberhart set up two years ago with promises to pay every citizen a monthly "dividend" of $25 (TIME, Sept. 2, 1935 et seq.). The first bill would force Alberta newspapers to give as much as one full page...
When a specialized actor is given a specialized role, the one specialty being miles apart from the other, we have a dilemma much the same as that of the famous immovable object and irresistible force.

Sir Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen left Shanghai for a holiday to be spent in such South Sea pleasure spots as Bali...
...have two current champions. French Marcel Thil, who won the title from Gorilla Jones five years ago on a foul, is recognized by the International Boxing Union, but the New York State Athletic Commission, and the National Boxing Association recognize Tacoma's Freddy Steele. This dilemma Promoter Jacobs resolved to his satisfaction. He imported Champion Thil, bullnecked, bulging-shouldered athletic oldster of 33, bald on his head but well furred on chest and back. By matching him not against Champion Steele but against the No.1 U. S. challenger, San Francisco's Fred Apostoli, Mike Jacobs left...
