Mary Farmer, who car- ried the Papal Flag of white and gold. while the candidates who followed were led by the Vlce-Pl'!!- feet. Patricia Wynne. bearing the blue and white sodality flag.

After the singing of the Ave Maris Stella the candidates approached the altar ratl where they solicited the favor of being received Into the Sodality of the Children of Mary and piously recited their Act of consecration. Father McDonald then received the candidates into the Sodality and conferred upon them the Indulgences of the Prlnili Primsrta. Each new Sodellst then received It diploma of membership During the reception the choir in perfect harmony sang. "Immacu- late. Thou Art our Queen" and other appropriate hymns.

In an inspiring sermon. Father MacDonald reminded the Sodalists of their new dignity which was con- ferred upon them. of their duties as Eodalists of Our Lady and urged them to be faithful to their prom- ises. The ceremony was brought to a close by Benediction of the mess- ed sacrament.

Appeal re Moscow

The indirect Truman-Attiee sp- peal to Moscow to end the pre- sent world-wide tension came in a paragraph in the communique which explained the reason the Western democracies are strength- ening their defences.

In the present world crisis "im- mediate action" is imperative in this field. they sold. but all mili- tary preparations are intended -"purely as a def nsive measure."

"We believe that the Commun- lu leaders of the soviet Union and China could. If'they chose. modify their conduct in such a wgy no to make these defence preparations unnecessary. i

Plan Christmas Party Forllllnd

More then so blind of Charlotte- town. and others from rural areas who are in this city on December zaith. will be guests at the after- noon Christmas Party of the Charlottetown Women's Auxiliary to t e Canadian National Institute for 0 Blind.

The date was announced yester- dly by the I-resident of the Auxil- lnry. Mrs. W. J. P. phohdfllln. and the party will be held in the Clover Club. adjoining the Canadian Legion. Entertainment will be liven in keeping with the Christ- mas season, and refreshment. be served.

are open to us. to impress this view upon them and to seek a peaceful solution of existing 1!- sues."

Although differing on China. Attlee nevertheless promised that British armed forces would con- tinue to fight alongside American and other United Nations forces against the Chinese Communist armies. '

"The United Nations has not changed the mission which it has entrusted to them and the for- ces of our two countries will con- tinug to discharge their duties." they declared.

Britain and the United States

made it plain in the communique they "are ready. as we have ul- ways been" to reach I peaceful settlement of the Korean fight- lng. But the announcement stressed any such settlement must he "on the basis of a free and lndeD0H' endent Korea" in accordance with United Nations principles.

Informed British diplomats re- ported the two leaders discussed many courses of action their two governments could take In the event no peaceful settlement of the Korean fighting is possible.

No firm decisions were taken. they said. because of the uncer- tainties of the battle situation. Many of the suggestions. it was -reported. were based On moves the United Nations might take In the event Gen. MacArfhur's forces are forced to Withdraw.

Pofnts of Ag. snail:

The formal announcement said Truman and Attlee agreed on these points on behalf of their Governments:

1. Economic and military aid to the non-Communist countries in Southeast Asia will go forward despite the Communist onslaught against Korea. .

2. The United States and Bri- tain "will act together with re- solution and unity to meet the challenge to peace which recent weeks have made clear to all."

3. "We ure in complete agree- ment that there can be no thought of appeasement or of re- warding aggresslon. whether in the Far East or elsewhere." Last- ing peace and the future of the :Unit.ed Nations . . . "depend upon

strong support for resistance against aggression." 4. Although both Nntioliallst

China and the Chinese Commun- lst regime are reluctant to let. the United Nations consider For- moss's future, "consideration of this question by the United Nil- tions will contribute" to peace and security.

5. The United States 0139039! and continues to oppose admis- sion of Red China to the United Nations while Britain "considers Its (the Red Chinese) representa- tives should occupy China's sent." But they are "determined" this split will not hurt their "unified effort."

6. "Every effort" must be made to end the Korean fighting by peaceful mearfs but only "on the basis of a free and independent Korea. If the Chinese on their Ilde display any evidence of I similar attitude, we are hopeful that the cause of peace can be upheld."

1. If the Chinese Communists re- ject peaceful negotiation. the Un- ited Nations must "decide" what -to do. with British and American support.

8. The United states and B14; tain are in "complete agreement on the need for immediate action -by the 12 North Atlantic Pact countries to intensify their de- fence preparations.

9. The two countries must ex- pand u-ms production as quickly no possible and continue to work out gr-rangements for sharing the defence burden.

10. A supreme commander for the combined North Atlantic arm- ies should be appointed soon. No mention was made of MY "195 .tion but Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- .how's selectlonnis considered I foregone conclusion.

11. Some kind of international agreement is needed to make sure each Western countrlf soil .the basic raw materials it needs for military and civilian produc- rtlon. . 12. ThstUnlted States and Bril- taln will "do everything W0 cm to seek a peaceful solution of the East-West split "through what- ever channels are Oven to us-

13. "Thu President stsud that It was his hope that World con- ditions would never call for the use of the atom bomb. The Pro- sidont told the Prime Minister that it was also his desire to keep the Prime Minister at Ill times informed of developments which might bring . about I change in the situation."

State Secretary Dean Acheson arranged to brief the Senate For- eign Relations Committee on the outcome of the talks.

' A - '. trip to the Seam was obviously an administration attempt to paclfer Rebilbllciln critics who have been demanding g full report on any agreements.

Buoy Dragged 50 Miles By Ship

Dec... C-(OP)- Department of Transport men were glad today this end-of-navigation work is about over.

A couple of things they had to contend with: A lost duck and a dragged buoy that travelled 50 miles.

Downriver near Batiscan one of the green shore lights turned to white. An inspector was sent there. He found the glass on the light broken and the duck inside the lamp--dead.

Department officials said the duck must have become lost in I snowstorm. It flew snack into the light.

The dragged buoy was one for the books. A ship struck it and the buoy, with its 2.500-pound anchor, became attached to the rudder shoe. The skipper couldn't shake his ship free so he dlragged the buoy from Lake st. Peter 50 miles up the St. Lawrence into Montreal.

"Never in the history of navi- gatlon has such I thing happened." said Hector Beauchemlrl. marine agent here. "I have known of buoys dragged a few feet but never 30 miles."

Tlransport Department boats to- day were completing the job of picking up 700 buoys that dot the navigation channel between Mon- ireal and Portneuf. All floating lights will be out by tonight. Shore lights will operate as long as navigation between Montreal and Quebec continues.

LONG IIELA (Continued from Page II

It may take several months to sel- that. agreement. Then the Commons and the senate will have to D355 addresses asking the United Kins- dom parliament to make the am- ondment to the constitution, the British North America AC?-.

Parliament will also have to pass legislation providing for adminis- tration of the pensions and for the machinery of collecting contrib- utiona.

No decision has yet been reached on how the program will. be finan- ced. but some consideration is to be given to a two-percent levy on incomes. This would be collected along with income tax and there would be a ceiling on the amount of individual contributions.

The Federal proposal also in- cluded an offer to pay half the cost of 34.0-is-month pensions to the needy in the 65-69 age group. The provinces would pay half and they might finance their part of the program through an indirect sales tax at the retail level. A committee vwill study the proposal further.
