Sonia Claus To Visit Children Al The Armouries

Santa Claus is coming to town for all the yongsiers of members of the-Garrison N. C. 0.”: Mass at the Armouries. He will arrive in all his glory. loaded with toys and GOOCUM. on Saturday afternoon, December 20, and will be greeted by 150 gleeful children who have waited a year since his last visit.

The fathers of the little ones have aided Santa by listing the names of the kids. their sex and their age to make it easier for the bewhiskered gentleman to bring the correct type of gift for each child. The big party will be held on the main four of the Armour- iea to provide plenty of room. At the same time the blg'floo'r space will permit the entertainment which will precede the visit of Santa. This will include the pre- sentation to each tiny youngster of sweets .and drinks. fruits and n0V91UB5. and everything the wee ones need for a memorable after- noon.

Climax of the afternoon will come with the arrival of St. Nick with his big bag of toys. In it will be a gift for every child present. and all of them will be carefully selected and individually wrapped so thatlsania can call for each child to come forward in turn.

iioiarlan Turner Honored Al iiolary

Mr. Charles Hunt. C.M. G., of St. John's. Nild., a past director of Rotary International and former District Governor, was guest speak- er at a dinner meeting of the local Rotary club held at the Charlotte- town Hotel lasi. evening. The meet- ing, which was designed primarily to do honour to International Dir- ector Percy W. Turner, was attend- ed by over 100 Ftotarlans, including many Rotary Anns.

In his opening remarks Mr. Hunt voiced the satisfaction with which he accepted the invitation to attend the function. "It is always a great pleasure to visit The Island Prov- ince' ", he said. "Some people thin-k of Newfoundland as an Island Province. but as you know, part of our province is an area in Labra- dor, several times as large as the Island of Newfoundland. but not as large as we expected. Probably the change in our political status will mean increased trade unless in- creased production in our own ls- land helps to supply our own needs.

"Your Premier, who is very pop- ular in Newfoundland.” continued the speaker, "told us some time ago that the best hope for the ag- ricultural development of our Prov- ince would be-for us to raise cattle with necks so long that they could graze in P. E. Island.

"I often marvel when I realize how far-reaching the vision of statesmen can be, but the fact that for many generations your prod- uce of every kind has been purch- ased by us in large quantities, makes us fully aware that there is wisdom in your Premier's remarks.

"My coming before you at this time is enhanced by happy recol- lections of former visits to Char- lottetown, usually when this fair Isle was dressed in all her spend- ollr. Each of these visits was clim- axed by a banquet under the aus- pices of your Club. You can easily imagine why. as I stand before you once more. Tond memory brings the light of other days around me'. I was taken sometimes to scenes of pastoral beauty where I could see. almost growing visible, those crops of vegetables which in the late autumn would be exported to our Island at or below cost, we were in- formed". (laughter).

The speaker dealt in humorous vein dealing with his former visits and recalled incidents of special in- terest to older Rotarlans. In speak- ing of Islanders and the love they have for their native Province, Mr. Hunt recalled that once when he addressed the Canadian Society in New York on Newfoundland. quite a number present were from th Island and came to him aftuw to let him know that "your Island is even better than ours"; natur- ally. I did my best to humor them".

After reviewing the ideals of R0- tary, the speaker concluded by ex- pressing the hope of all present that Director Percy 'rurner "may be spared in health and strength to perform the heavy duties that lie before'him".

Christmas carols were a pleasing feature conducted by Walter Cox, with O.K. Prosby at the piano. Especially pleasing were the vocal duets by Nancy Maclvevln and Bar- bara Rupert, "Coventry Carol" and "White Christmas".

A presentation of flowers follow- ed to Mrs. 'nu-ner by Mrs. Gordon Award on behalf of the "Rotary Annaa". and a National Directors' emblematical button to Mr. Tumor on behalf of the Club by President Avard.

Mr. Turner expressed his deep appreciation for the honour done him and pledged himself to do all within his power to carry out the programme of Rotary.

Guests present were Mr. and Mrs. J'.C. Sutherland. Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Green, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Turner: Mr. and Mrs. n.w. Taylor, Walter S.' Grant. Rev. 'I'.I-I.B. Bomers. J.A. Webster. B.E. Rogers, Lt. Governor Prowse. P.G. Clark and Resign ltinney.

Maj. Davies Awarded Forces Decoration

Major J. T. Davies. deputy as- sistant director mechanical en- gineers. of the 21st V Armoured Brigade. has been awarded the Canadian Forces Decoration, it was announced here last night. Presentation of the award wus made by Brigadier W. W. Reid. D.S.O., E.D., Commanding Officer of the Brigade in a brief cere- mony at the Charlottetown Arm- ourles.

Major Davies joined the Active Force from the N.A.P.M. with the Prince Edward Island Light- horse in the Spring of 1941 and went overseas as a Lieutenant.

While overseas he .received two promotions prior to returning to Canada with the rank of Major in 1945.

cadgsfwill Aid Amputees Play cards

An interesting gadget in use here will undoubtedly prove a boon to all amputees who have lost an arm and who still like to play cards. It is an open-sided. open-faced aluminum box which permits a one-armed man to shut- fle and deal a deck of cards almost as fast as those with both hands can do it.

The box-like arrangement is owned by Mr. Don Lawlor. a vet- eran and amputtee of the First World war. He believes it can be of real value to men like himself who enjoy a game of cards but do not wish to be embarrassed by any hesitation in dealing the cards.

Made of aluminum, the box has a back and front legs set on an inward angle so that the deck of cards can easily be shuffled with one hand. After shuffling, the deck is placed lengthwise in per- mit of easy one-handed dealing to other players.

Forty Store-Owners In Montreal charged

MONTREAL. Dec. 9 - (CP) - Forty store-owners pleaded innocent today to charges of violating a city by-law that requires stores to remain closed on eight Roman Catholic holy days during the year,

The alleged violations occurred on All Saints Day, Nov. 1. Judge E. J. McManamy of Municipal Court postponed hearing until Dec. 15

Meanwhile. Alfred Belanger, as- sistant polico director, said 343 stores will receive court summonses for violating the by-law yesterday, feast. of the Immaculate Concep- tion. That flgure was far below early police estimates.

.8till pending are 410 summonses for alleged violations on All ssinur Day. Nov. 1; 300 on Ascension Day, May 22 last, and 596 on the feast of the Immaculate Concep- tion last year.

The by-law was ruled ultra vires in Superior Court last summer when seven large departmental stores contested its validity. A city appeal is pending.

Dig Tesl Hole On Kent Street Building "Site

A test hole 13 feet deep and a dozen feet square is being dug on the site of the old Eldon Hotel on Kent Street, with is view to ob- taining information as to the lo- cation of rock and at what depth.

This type of drilling and the ex- nminatlon of foundation possibil- ities usually denotes 'that a new building is in the offing. which would appear to confirm the ru- mor that such a building may be started in the early months of the new year.

Mayor Slewarl Back from Ottawa

Mayor J. D. Stewart returned last night from attending the annual meeting of the Federation of Can- adian Mayors and Municipalities held in Ottawa last week. While in the Canadian capital he conferred with several members of the Fed- eral Cabinet with special reference to the airport extension and Feder- al works projects in this city.

Mayor Stewart confirmed the Ot- tawa despatch appearing recently in The Guardian. to the effect that negotiations between the City and Federal authorities in the matter of the airport were proceeding sat- isfactoryly and that it is believed the work of extension to handle larger planes wil be undertaken. 'Howcver. the question of the res- ponsibility for operating the airputt is still under consideration.

One of the important items dis- cussed by the municipal represent- atives and the full Federal Cabinet headed by acting Prime Minister C. D. Howe was a fairer distribu- tion of the tax dollar. The Federa- tion asked Ottawa. officials for n renlloc tion of he money and points to the vast increase in the Federal "take" in the past twenty years.

They pointed out that in 1930 the Federal Government received 38.695 of the tax dollar a.nd the municip- alities got 39.4'7'r. However, in 1950 the picture had changed entirely with the Federal Government G)- tainlng 71.37;. and the municipal- ities getting only ll.5"?.

The Mayor said that the Federa- tion hnd pointed out that the mun- icipalities were now getting almost the limit from real estate and since no greater income could be expect- ed from that source the only thing remaining for them was to seek a greater share from the slice taken by the central government.

He did not state what he expect-

ed the final outcome of the talks would be. but appeared hopeful of satisfactory results from the con- ferences.
