French Language Faper Dominant: 0n P.E.l. Election

OTTAWA. Dec. 30 —(Specla.l)— In an unusual analysts of the ro- cent provincial elections in Prince Edward Island, the Ottawa French language newspaper “Le - Droit" expresses regret that only nine Roman Catholics were elected to the Legislature, while in propor- tion to population. catholics could expect they would be represent/ed by 13 out of the 30 members of the House.

"In the three divisions of Prince County where they are in the majority“ Le Droli: writes. "Cath- olics were sufficiently generous to elect three Roman Catholic and three non-Catholic members. In the other divisions where non- Cathollcs are in the majority, there was not even n. Catholic candidate. Conservative or Lib- eral.

"The same situation prevails tn the Federal field. For the past 40 years the member for Prince has | been a non-Catholic and the same | principle applied to the Senate‘

seat.

"This condition ls not peculiar to Prince Edward Island." tho newspaper concludes. “It is found 1n all parts of Canada where there is an Anglo-Saxon majority. This constitutes a. problem for those of the Roman Catholic faith. It h! up to them to sea that they have better representation ln the Pur- llaments of the country. If they fan to interest themselves in the public welfarc they are,in the wrong. Their duty to ' interest themselves is today more imper- atlve than ever."

By Alex Singleton LONDJN, Dec. 46 -(AP) — Britain may take h.r first defin- .r-..- snps next week toward abandoning efforts to assume a. mcdiatorb role in post-war world affairs and move instead in the (irrection of a “stop rcussia" part- nership with the United States. The full Cabinet will meet Mon- day to weigh a tentative blueprint of this country's position in inter- national affairs. a plan drafted by Foreign Secretary Bevin after

the breakdown of the Foreign Ministers conference on Ger- many.

Government officials have

shown no inclination to minimize the importance of the anticipated decisions. Privately, they ABVB acknowledged these decisions mus‘ encompass policy questions no: only concerning Germany but an areas where Russia and the ‘Nest- ern Powers have come into econo. mic and ideological conflict.

Still smarting over the accusa- tions of Foreign Minister ivfnloto‘: that Britain is pursuing an ‘inl- morialistic" policy. Bevin never- theless has been reliably roportod as reluctant to force a showdown which might end big power con-

sultations indefinitely. Prior to the Bu; Four confer- ence. Foreign Office spokesmen

repeatedly emphasized a convict- ion thst east-west differences could be surmounted ahrqh compromise and conciliation.

37 Christmas Holiday Deaths

(by The Canadian Press)

A Canadian Press survey early today showed a total of 3'7 Ohrist_ mas holiday fatalities across Can- ada.

Highway accidents took 22 lives. five were drowned, three were as- ohvxiaied. Fire. look four lives and Qxilosure. a heart attack causld by storms and an airplane crash each took one.

Montreal reported nine accid- ental deaths. There were three-in Windsor. The rest were scattered across the country. but untlban early hour today the clt‘es of Tor- onto and Vancouver surprisingly showed no accidental deaths.

Big. Drop Expected In N. B. Lumber Out

SAINT JOHN. N. B., Dec. 26- (CP) - Lumber firms hero today estimated New drunswfcics lumber cut this year at. less than half of lhflt in 1:146, when the cut from Crown lands amounted to 450.001. cords and 110,000,000 board feet and when the value of New Bruns

wick forest products topped the $80,000,000 mark.

Principal reason for the sharp decline was reported as tho clos- ing of the United Kingdom mar- ket. with uncertainty of other markets also a factor.

In 1946 forest products sxpbrt. ecl from the Province were valued at $57,000,000. Now, because of the economic situation. no lumber is being sent io the United King- dom.

So fur as mineral development le concerned. however, officials expect that 1948 will be New Brunswlcks biggest year. Pro- jects include a $4,000,000 fertil- izer and cement plant in Albert County, a survey of salt deposits under the Petltcodlac River, drill- ing for lead and zinc at Elm Tre’ on Bay Chsleur, possible expans- ion uf the quarrying and peat in- dustries. and oll explorations in Albert.

Windsor Leads Fashion Parade

By Dorothy Roe

Associated Press Fashion Editor NEW YORK. Dec. 26 -(AP)~ The Duchess of Windsor this year regained her croum as the world's best-dressed woman. being voted tops in the annual list o! the “ten- best-dressed." as announced today by the New York Dress Institute. The wocnan who once charmed a king off his throne is the ultra-con- servative type, choosing for the most part the simplest possible daytkne clothes in black, navy or occasionally a dark rod-mud never

departing from her type. The Duchess prefers slender clothes which show off her small waist.

She says she will never Changn her accustomed skirt length, which al- ways has been considered longer than average.

Others on the llst, in the order named, arc: Mrs. William Paley; Mrs. Harrison Wllliavms: Mrs. Wil- 11am Rhlnelander Stewart; Mrs. Byron Foy; Mrs. John C. Wilson: Mrs. Millicent Rogers; Mrs. Howard Hawks; Mrs. Geoffrey Gates; Mrs. William Wallace (Ina Claire).

Also scoring enough votes to qualify among tl-ie first 10 were three dress designers and one de- signer's wife; Mrr. Adam Gimble (Sophie). Mrs. George schlee (vai- entlns). Mrs. Orson D. Munn (Car- rie Munn) and Mrs. Gilbert Adrian (Janet Gaynor, wifa of Adrian. Hollywood designer). Officials of the Dress Institute decided that these four nvust sacrifice heir amateur standing because of being more or less in the business.

Mrs. Paley, No. 2 on the list. is the fore-nor Barbara Cushlng Mortimer, one of the beautiful Cuehing sisters of Bolton. The oth- er slew-s are Mn, Vincent Astor and M11. John Rey Wititnfiv.

Did-Timer Not impressed By New York Storm

NEW YORK. D80. 26- (AP)- One of the "blizzard men of '88’ wasn't impressed by today's big snow.

"This was Just half a blizzard." sold Augustus Post, 74-year-old past president of the group veterans who meet in ‘New York each March 1'1 to relive the fam- ous two-day storm of 1888. The 20.9 inches which fell than held the record until today's 36.4.

He added with a chuckle that he coilldrft even get to his New York home tonight. He was snow- bound at the home of a sister in Locust Valley, Long Island, NY.

Countless tall stories have grown up about the big storm of 88, and some 200 surviving "blizzard men“ have contributed many a hair- raising yarn.

They relish felling how red lwi. stoves froze solid and how snmv flakes were the size of becl quilts. but along with the fancy were the following facts:
