In 1916, the Canadian Army was re-equipped with the Lee En- field "short." A modification. known as the Lee Enfield No. 4. now is the Canadian Army rifle. Since 1896, all rifles have been .303 calibre.
Means Ratooling Job
The standardization agreement will mean, to Canada, a complete retooling job in the government- owried ammunition industry.
Mr. Csmpney said the United states has a .30-calibre cartridge but that it does not meet the re- quired NATO specificntions. It can, however. be modified with- out s re-tooling operation. means that U. 8. Army ammunition can be tailored to fit its stand- ard rifle, whereas. Canada and Britain, must obtain a new rifle.
Opposition Leader Drew. com- ni.-znting on the.snnouncement. said he hopes that the agreement on small arms ammunition will lead to standardisation of "other types of ammunition."
An army ,okesman said earlier that the Belgian has been fired by Canadian experts and that it is "an excellent weapon".
Scottish Duchess Granted Divorce
EDINBURGH. (Reuters) - A duchess whose duke went in court in a vain effort to iiava'hi-r evicted from the ducal castle. Tuesday won a divorce on grounds of adultery.
The Duchess of Roxburgh. 00. was granted a decree against the duke, Georges Inner-Ker, 42, one of Scotland's biggest titled land- owners.
The family quarrel first broke int oths headlines last January when the duke sued to have his wife evicted from the ducal seat Floors Castle, near Jedburgh in southern Scotland.
He brought action under Scot-
tish common law which lays down that a wife lives in her husband's house only "by lic- ence."
For three months the riuchess stood siege in the lonely lhlIIlPr- ed castle. Three times a court
hearing of the case was adjourn- ed. Then she ended the siege quietly by walking out.
The ducliess, descendant of the Itothehlids, famous family of in- ternational fiimm-iersi, became the youngest ducliess in England when the married the duke in sass at the age of It

A IN MEMORIAM
MR. JOHN CUIIRIE
On November 19, friends and neighbors learned with regret of the death of John Currie at his home in Vernon River.
Although he had mixed his 90th year. he never seemed to grow old. His health was good and his mind keen and alert until a month pre- vious to his death.
He was is devout member of the Roman Catholic Church and a merriberaf the Vernon River Holy Name Society.
For 35 years. he worked as see- tioriman on the Canadian Na- tional Rauwisy until retiring 23 years ago.
A born oonversationalist, his home was ever a meeting place of both old and young who came to spend many a pleasant hour with him who always welccened them with s kindly amlle.
Within the circle of his friends there will always be associated with his memory thoughts of a hard-working man. a kind neigh- bor and an honorable citizen.
In the home he will be sorely missed by his wife, the former Mary Acorn, who for the past 15 years of invaiidiam ever derived a constant source of consolation from his presence.
Besides his borrowing wife. he leaves to mourn his paying, two sons and three daughters: Joseph. Chief Petty officer in the R..C.N., Ireland; Alan, conductor on the loeton- Maine Railway, Vermont: (Margaret) Mrs. John Cummings, Vernon River: (Kay) Mrs. Horace Hayes, Summerside; (Cecelia) Mrs. Edward MdLeod at borne; also 12 grandchildren who will always cherish memories of a loving grandfather.
The large number of friends who came to pay their last re- spects to one who was so widely known, followed the funeral pro- cession to St. Joachim's Church, Vernon River, on November 21st, where Requiem High. Mass was celebrated by Reverend Urban Gli- lis. Service at the grave was con- ducted by Reverend Sylvere Gai- lant, who also directed the choir.
Pail beaten-s were: Ernest Coi- lings, Ar-thur Riciliards, John Mor- riseey, William Acorn, Howard Richards and Peter Calms. Burial was in the church cemetery.
May his soul rest in peace.

A BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS
I believe there isagenuine tradi- tion of respect for books on Prince Edward 'Islani:i. and yet I wonder what proportion of money sptnt on Christmas gifts here, will go to- ward the purchase of books. In particular how many children's books will be bought as Christmas presents? Perhaps more than I suspect-perhaps every child who gets is great many presents will receive at least five books!
A good way to weaken the hold of the Comics on children, as ivcil as to greatly enrich their lives is to surround them early with books that have stood the test of time. and later ones approved by critics in the field. There is no dearth of book-shops on the Island, and the owners are generally well informed on those suitable for every age. In addition to books of his very own, a good present for a child old enough to be allowed to take books from the library, is a library card. Often gating a card seems a difficult understanding for a child and parents can help him by going along for the occasion. At this season, one shopping trip with Junior can include a. stop at the library for that very purpose, and to introduce him to the library if he hasn't been before. Char- lottetown has an unusually fine one lottetown has an unusually fine one, with librarians who know books and are charming to all,, especially children. But I havei found cozy rooms with many worth-while books in even small villages.
C I
One day I met four interesting people in the Charlottetown library. They were my friends Mr. and Mrs. A. and their young son and daughter. It had become a weekly habit, they told me, to come to the library with their children. While Mom and Dad read in the grown- up section, Johnny and Mary were deeply engrossed in the children's corner. Every once in a while the parents wandered over and showed great interest in what the young- sters were reading.
Parents do read to very small children, but the older child too can get enjoyment from books too difficult for him to read by him- self. I hardly dare suggest the wonderful but vanishing family custom of reading out loud for the enjoyment of grown-ups too!
Perhaps it is true of books. as of other things, that we cannot fully appreciate that which is so easy to obtain. My yearly childhood was spent ina southern town where there was a library, but no child- ren's department. Shall I, ever for- get the friend of, my parents who owned a book-shop and allowed me to browse around in it--even to borrow a used book. occasionaliyl And the happiness I felt when he brought me a. book as e. gift!
Those books are still favorites, but I doubt whether they are much loved now. Not only "Little Wo- men"'. but all of the books by Louisa May Alcott were read and reread. "The Prince and the Pauper" I loved-and still do. And of course, "Treasure Island", Gui- liver's Travels", Hucklebery Finn". "Tom Sawyer". "Robinson Cruaoe". "Heidi" and "Hans Brlnker and the Silver skates" and "The Arab- ian Nights" . . . and "llncle Remus." . . . . .
I read so fast. however, that I was thrown back at times. on the grown-up books in our home. Poetry essays, the Scriptures, science, philosophy, history, bio- graphy, dictionaries and encylo- pediss-there was no fiction - I devoured all that came in my path. and though I understood lit- tle. some of the books had illustra- tions that whetied my imagina- tion. But it didn't really matter. Surrounded by books, I learned to love them. and how much they have meant to me!
Their are innumerable quota- tions about books and reading. Most of you know a number. Many are on the order of this one: "A blessed companion is a book-s book that fltiy chosen is a life- long friend." (Douglas Jerrold. 1803- 1057i.
I like this one from Wordsworth: "Dreams. books. are each a world;' and books, we know,
Are is substantial world, both pure and good.
Round these, with tendrils strong as flash and blood.
Our pastime and our happiness will grow."

Mexico and even the Caribbean and South America. British Columbia exporters hpvc reported a record sale of 2,0(lJ,U00 trees with a wholesale value of 31,000,000. New Brunswick expects sales to total 31,500,000 from 2,000.- 000 trees. Nova Scotia. which ex- ported 3.000.000 trees last year. re- ports a slight reduction in deliv- eries this year. Ontario's US. sales in 1952 reached 31.000000. Quebec made 01,000,000 from 2,500,000 trees.

He coupled this pledge with as- surances that the United States- again subject to congressional sp- provai--will continue to contri- bute munitions and technical training in the use of new wea- pons for the modernization of NATO forces.
Wilson tied no specific strings to his promise, but his reternces to Congress made it clear to other ministers that the Europ- ean Army Treaty would have to be put into operation before the American representatives would approve Sil('i'i a step.
Best Available
Wilson promised the European Allies they would get the latest. best and. most modern weapons in the American stockpile-plus the training in using them. But he warned that these weapons were "no magic curenll" for the hard problems of defence.
New means for common de- fence must be developed by all the Allies, Wilson said, adding that "support of NATO is a ma- jor element of U. S. defence po- liries." He said the American crin- ccpt of ntitionai survival is linked to the survival of the NATO area as a whole.
NATO officials. as usual, would not release the exact number of troops. planes and ships which the. ministers plan to put on the line in 1964. but. the percentages of increase would give combined NATO forces roughly the follow- ing at the end of next year: Close to 5.700 planes. nearly all
