MONDAY

Mr. R. A. Gordon. formerly of Summerside. has been named as- sistant general manager for the Canadian National Express with headquarters at Montreal. Mr. Gordon joined his department of the railway service in 1924 as a clerk in Summerside and later became agent there.

In 1937 he was named agent in Saint John. N. 3.. and six years later was transferred to Halifax as traffic supervisor. In 1944 he went to Moncton as assistant superintendent for four years be- fore becoming superintendent. Last year he was posted to Win- nipeg as general superintendent for the Western District.

With higher consumer spending due to increased industrial pro- duction and employment in the coming year. the demand for food products will remain good. I-Ion. S. C. Baker. Minister of Agricul- ture said last night.

Mr. Baker returned over the week-end from Ottawa where he aktended the Dominion-Provincial Agricultural Conference. The con- ference is called annually by the Rt. Hon. James H. Gardiner. Fed- eral Minister of Agriculture and is attended by Provincial Minis-

ters and Deputy Ministers and leaders of agricultural organiz- Illons.

He said that from reports given and briefs submitted. a

pretty fair barometer of the sit- uation. as far as the coming year is concerned, can be obtained. Unless international relations de- teriorate still further. and pro- vided there are favourable grow- ing conditions in 1952, the picture for this province will remain somewhat the same as the past year. he reported.

TUESDAY

A large group of approxilm-iielx 150 new Canadians learned last night of thc real hospitality of their adopted country when they were guests at a special Christ- mss party at the Clover Club given by the Canadian Citizenship Council for their benefit.

The immigrants were there with their wives and children and perhaps the youngsters had the best time of all as Santa Claus greeted them all and presented gifts to each of the little ones.

The Montague Town Council last night decided to take legal action sssihst all persons whose town taxes are in arrears. The decision was taken at the regular monthly meeting of the council. presided over by His Worship Mayor 3.11. Yen.

Yesterday, Dec. 10. was the dead- line for the paying of tax arrears. and all unpaid following that date were to be subject to legaIiproceed- ings. The Town Clerk reported that there were approximately 83.50000 still outstanding. and that the list of those in arrears was be- ing prepared. It was thought that everything would be in readiness to begin court proceedings early in January.

Msyor J. D. Stewart stated lut night'st. the monthly meeting of the City Council that a City dc- legstion had waited on the Pro- vincial Treasury Board to discuss a revision of the financial ar- rangements pertaining to taxation of public buildings in this city. The Mayor stated that the de- legation could "report progress" and hoped to have a final report at an early date.

Mayor Stewart also advised the Council that it had been brought to his attention that a group of college students are waging an energetic campaign to "Bring back Christ to Christmas". Their feeling is that the real meaning of Christmas has been lost through too much commercializ- ailon.

WEDNESDAY

The Supreme Court in bnnco yesterday ruled that the Statute of Limitations barred the claim of A. Mott Stewart against the Maritime Electric Company Limit- ed for injury to his leg while employed by the Company.

The case came before Mr. Jus- tice . R. MacGuigan as in claim arising out of an accident in October. 1945. in which an elec- tric light pole being transported crushed the plaintiff's right leg against the defendant's truck. The injury seemed slight but in 1949 infection set in resulting in loss of the use of the leg.
