Hello again girls and iudersi Suppose everyone is busy with big plane for C..G..I..T.. Week" We haven't heard about any of them as yet but maybe that. is our own fault because in the last column we asked that reports be sent in and then forgot to give the od- dress“ Don't send news to this paper but to P..O.. Box Ill, Char- lottetown. Maybe some of you have been sending them directly to the paper and the items-ap- peared ea locals instead of in our regular columm

A letter did arrive frcni "The Merry Weather Girls" of Central Bedeque. There are t/wclve girls in this CGIT group under the leadership of Mrs.. Cmwe and Jean MacCaiium and they have finished the Mission Study; In in- teresting project was t-he making of scrapbooks for children of dis- placed persons ln Halifax. One of their money raising projects was a sale of candy at an entertain- ment in the Hail.

Due to the fact that the girl: of this group are so scattered it. il impossible to hold meetings dur- ing the ‘vliiten. This means that “The Merry Weather Girls" have to work hard during the sum- mer months in order to fulfill the chevron requirements. The meet- ings are held on the same night as the ’I‘r"il Rangers so the de- votional and recreation periods are held together" Several enjoy- ablg parties have also been held by the combined groups.

Next week we will all be mble to lee what our provincial offic- ers look like.. Pictures of Elia. and Louise will appear with an ac- count of our CGIT work and aims so don‘t miss it..

"The City Stickers" of the Bap- tist Church group finished their mission study on'Moriday night but we still have to put a few finishing touches on the scrap- book we started on Bollviir.

Plans for s. Valentine party were set up at the lest meeting and are to take a. little different form than other years. A bowl- ing party with hot dogs as re- freshments will constitute the en- tertainment,.

The CGIT Week competition has spurred "The City Slickers" to action. A cake sale is tn be held at Rogers Hardware; a Rim- mage Sale is to be held at the Baptist Church schoolromru. Fur- ther an ouncernents about these undertakings will appear in this paper at a later date so keep an eye peeled everyone.

We heard a rumor that the group of Trinity United plan to decorate a window for OGIT Weelc. If this is true it will be the first of its kind for - Charlotte- town for many and many a year“ This is the group to which our vprovim‘ l president and vice pre- sident belong and they are an en- ergetic pair to have in any CG- I'f‘..

The said that carload rates from Halifax to Montreal would go up only one-quarter cent, while less- than-carioad rates would rise leas than three-quarters of a cent.

From Vancouver to Montreal, there would be no increase in carioad rates, while the less-than- earload charges would be up less than tyre-thirds of a cent.

From Winnipeg to Montreal. the carlosd rates would be up less than three-quarters of a cent. The less-than-carload rate would rise 2% cents, but the previous rate had been "very iow."

The railway submission added the situation with respect to rates on fish moving to Toronto was somewhat similar to that of Mont- real.

It added that the present rates are "on an extremely low basis" and that with few exceptions the rate increases would be less than one cent.

In reply, the Fisheries Council and the Maritime Transportation Commission said there would be substantial increases on fish mov- ing from Halifax, Lunenburg, Mul- grave and North Sydney. all in Nova Bcotia. On fish going to Montreal from these points. there would be ii consumer increase of at least two cents after shrinkage, insurance and Sther factors tiad been taken into consideration.

The report said the Canadian spy case is the best-knoun ex- ample of Soviet espionage and that many of the princi les of Russian espionage first pu liclzed iii the report from Ottawa are corroborat- ed by information available on the Sorge ring.

There were many “lesser spies" who made Sergei work easier, Gen. MecArthur's report said.

These people were both antl- militarlst and pro-Communist, but the readiness of these persons. most of them Japanese subjects, to commit treason may surprise those who have believed the Japanese to possess rfanatical sense of pat- riotism.

Two Americans

At least two Americans were members of the outfit, the report added.

One was Agnes Smedley. Ameri- can author, who-in the words of the report—“is a spy and agent of the Soviet Government." Another was a shadowy figure known only us “Jucob", known to he an Am- erican journalist.

Besides Miss Smedley and the unknown "Jacobs", the army said another key member of the ring was Guenther Stein, “a mun about whom too little is known." lt said Stein, a journalist, was a German Jew who apparently became a Bri-

Both Stein and Miss Smcdley now are in New York. Stein esilled the charge against him "ridicul- ous". He declined other comment. He is not a naturalized United States citizen.

Miss Smedley called the report's reference to her "a despicable iio" and demanded a retraction and apology. She said she would like to sue Gen .MacArihur for an "at- tempt at assassination of my char- actor."

"I am not and never have been a Soviet spy'or an agent for any country," she said at a press con- ference.

She said she considered it “a dc- coration" that her name was on one of the Japanese polices death list, and that it was there because she had been a correspondent with Chinese armies fighting the Japa-

Simpson's Store lie-Opens This Morning

Attention is called to the re- opening Lhls morning of the Char- lottetown Office of the Robert Simpson Co., Kent Street. Recently the premises suffered some damage due to a fire that was entirely confined to the base- ment and as a result people with a view to buying furniture can now obtain some at. a great saving. The furniture itself, which was quickly removed. suffered but minor dam- age, such as scratches, etc., but nevertheless prices have been drastically reduced and there are real bargains to be had.

After the present stock has been cleared out the work of painting and renovating the interior of the building will get under way im- niediately and a bigger and better Simpson's Agency will arise.

It will pay you to give this store a call during the next few days as the stock is expected to scil rapidly.

Education Discussed

Replying to T..J.. Bentley (COF- Swift Currentl. who expressed concern about Newfoundlands ed- ucational system, Mr.. St. Laurent said the curricula for Newfound-

land schools now is prepared by the Islands Department of Ed- UCAHOIL.

The system differs from that of the older Provinces in that there is little municipal organization on the island and the schools are administered directly by the cen-I tral government. . I

Under the union terms, the leg-j islature may establish HOIHlGnDmP inatlonal schools if it sees fit, but, if this ls done grants made for education must not discriminate against the denominational schools.

He said he would imagine that» the curricula of the present schools! denominational,

since they were provide for religious instruction.‘ However, while school attendance-

is compulsory, a child of one rellg-, ion is not required to re-rnain in the‘ class rooni when religious instruct-I ion for another denomination is being given

Mr. Bentley said he did not think,
