A well attended and enthusias- tic meeting of the Provincial Red Cross Women's Work Committee was held in the new annex to Red Cross Headquarters on Tuesday afternoon with the chairman. Mrs. E. A. roster presiding. Several ladies from Summsreide were pre- eent including Mrs. R. L. Willett and Mrs: v. '1'. Traverse who are the joint chairmen of this commit- tee of the Surumereide Red Cross Branch. .,

The chairman told the meetinl that this Province lied been given a quota very. much the same as that of last year-about 4.000 ar- tlclea of children's clothing. and impressed on the members the necessity of going back to their own groups and urging them to take part in this urgent work. She said that if each women did a lit- tie. the task would not be great for anyone. Mrs.-. Tooter explained

t the 16 cases shipped from this

rovince a few months ago and containing '15 mplete leyettes and 2100 other arrnents for chil- dren from 1-8 years had gone to Greece and Lebanon for distribu- tion through the Red Cross in these countries. Mrs. Foster said that the need for continued assist- ance for the children in these de- vastated European countries. which the Red Cross has ways stressed. was verified by Dr. Hletchmanove who visited the Province last week in connection with-the Unitarian Services,Cornmittee, and who has recently returned from Europe where she was in direct contact with many homeless and destitute children.

other matters discussed were the assistance of this committee with the making of dressings for the Blood Transfusion Service. the new smock to be worn by mem- bers of the committee, and assist- ance with Disaster Service Plan- ning. -

Miss Beulah Munroe reported that supplies had been sent to Winnipeg in response .to an appeal from the National Headquarters for the flooded areas. Miss Mun- roe also stated that other articles of children's clothing had been sent to the-Red Cross Port Nurs- ery at Halifax where they were sorely needed.

The members of the committe- pledged their support of the work and promised to do their best to interest others in taking part in this important phase of Red Cross activity.

Jakob A. Mallk, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, called the American proposal an "insult" to the great Chinese people. He said President Truman had attempted a "grab" by ordering the seventh Fleet to cover Formosa during the Korean conflict.

Island Odds And Ends

To most pooue the words "Dally Double" brings to mind a crowded race track. two long shots leading

and a two dollar ticket cesheble at the ps.ri-rnutuel wicket for much coin of the realm.

For. Mr. Lloyd Wonnacott. hunt- er and marksman of proven merit. a "Daily Double" has an altogether different meaning; where success depends not on the whims of chance. but on experience and skill. Lloyd bagged his "doublo" on- the opening day of shooting - he shot seven ducks out of the sky in the early morning. and by afternoon had knocked down eight Hungar- ian partridge; in each case the legal daily limit. It was not the first time he had made a possible on opening day. but he claims to have reached the bag limit quicker than on any former occasion. Showing the birds to friends, Lloyd remark- ed with some eatisfactionthat he was not a. member of any club which leased ponds and other choice shooting areas, but that he tack his chances with the less priv- ileged gunners.

It is just as well perhaps that he is not turned loose in a protected area; th other members of the club migh not have much to shoot after Lloyd made a tour of the place.

Many a wage earner with an anxious eye on the soaring cost of eatables is mystified by the prices charged for some Island grown products. Potatoes for example are returning Island growers around forty cents or thereabout a. bushel but merchants in Charlottetown are retailing them for almost the same figure by the peck. Fish go through the same magical process. the men who lend them get a few cents per pound for cod, and had- dock, somewhat more for mack- erel, but on the dealer's counter in Charlottetown the price is mult- iplied three to seven fold. Is the high cost of transportation. refrig- eration, or general overhead (in- cluding high wages). remonslble for the startling gap between pro- ducer and merchant? The answer may be a simple one. but in any case it cannot help being inter- esting. Do I see a hand up among the merchants? ,

our Province may gain very much more in the long run than it lost through the railway strike. The strike sharpened our appreciation of what the cerferry means to the whole Province eava non-stop cc-n- necting llnk with the rest of Can-

a.

This new awareness of the vital need of an unintemlpted service with the mainland became prov- ince-wide just prior to the con- ference on constitutional amend- ments. It gave Premier Jones the opportunity of reminding the con- stttution makers that the Island had transportation rights not to be pushed aside in any new na- tional deal. Whether one agrees with Premier Jones and all his pol- icies or not, most people will be satisfied that where the rights of the Province are at stake he will insist on those rights at e.ll costs. Perhaps it can be said that he would rather be right in this case than be Senator, and that no beuble of office will influence his stand on behalf of the Island at any con- atitutl nnl wuference.

Quite a difference in the parking facilities in Charlottewwn's down- town business district. Councillor Dave Stewart, Jim Fullerton, City Manager, and the other adminis- trstive officials have rounded out "a good summer's work with these very practical improvements. We understand that money alone pre- vented a more extensive program along the same practical lines. Next year more 'street work of the same type is proposed: it is hoped the money will be eveila.ble.et that time. Lesa wisely planned and car- ried out. the changes in our streets ht have been panned instead of p ed as it is being praised by many citizens. ,

As a now-and-then contributor to the Guardian's news columns, and not a regular member of the staff. it may not be considered lacking in good taste to pass along some com- plimentary references to the work of via Rlurltz. the papers cartoon- ist. Vic's daily pictures, always in step with Is-lend events of inter- est, are usually to the point. at- ways klndly, easily interpreted.
