1022b And ilarriet Q Program To Start Q ilero Tonight

Advertising history will be writ- ten during 1049. it was announced here today by Mr. Taylor of the Taylor's Jewellers. "Starting in January." stated Mtr. Taylor, ‘fthe first week-day night-time network radio program of the silverware industry will be inaugurated when the International Silver Company's ‘The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet’ is broadcast over the Do- minion network at 10:30 p.m.,

On the air for only a com- paratively few seasons, the pro- gram steadily has grown in charm and humour until it is now in- deed "at the head of the class." Perhaps the clue to the success of oasis Nelson and his wife. Harriet Hilliard. lies in their knowing awareness that the life of a. pair of young parents can be hectic end amusing without inserting vaudeville gags. The jokes are al- lowed io flow freely and there is no ambition to make every inci- dent hilarious. The goal is the leisurely and natural laugh which is all the more amusing because it does not seem purposely con- trived.

Responsibility for the execution of the script depends primarily on Mr. Nelson in the role oi the young father who has a. very human distaste for helping with the dishes. Miss Hilliard.‘ as his understanding partner. is the per- ‘fect complement. keeping the script moving in a forward direc- tion without ever seeming to do so. Henry Blair and Tommy Bernard portray the lively young- sters and John Brown turns in one of his consistently good character-

’ lzations as Thorny. the next door neighbour.

* Mr. Taylor said that the decis- ion to change from Sunday ‘o Friday was made in view of the fact. that thousands more Can- adian listeners would be able to enjoy the program at the new

- , time.

Mr. Taylor also wished to sn- nounco that as s local dealer for .1847 Rogers Bros. and Infome- tlonsl Sterling. he has s special exhibit of these patterns on dis- play this week.

Successful

piac on the progress of veterans rehab itation by Lt. Col. EB. Con- rad. district administrator, DVA. in a year-end statement. "Canada's comprehensive rehabilitation pro- IPll-‘II-W. coupled with the fine am- bitiom spirit of our veterans, has accomplished remarkable results since demobilization.” he said.

Out of 11.000 enlisoments in this Province. there are only 313 veter- ans, or less than three per cent re- gistered for employment.

This number, he said. is high. due to seasonal employment conditions in this pert of the country, which produce e higher ratio of unem- ploy-ment during the winter season.

With the termination of several of the rehabilitation benefits at the end of the year, coupled with hhe fact that most veterans have now been out of the service too long to qualify for other benefits. the ad- ministration of rehabilitation bene- fits will greatly diminish during the conning year although the load on other branches will continue to be just as great.

Treatmut lm-vices

Treatment services, he said, will for along time be provided for large nimbers of veterans. and tiuring the past year 640 veterans were ad- mitted to treatment by the depart- ment. Practically all of these have been treated in hospitals in Prince Edward Island. More than 1400 veterans have received treatment since this province was established as a separate district in December. 1945. The pensions branch will see no reduction in the number of ex- amination; for some time and iihe War Veterans Allowance Board will experience a steady increase in the number of applications. which will not reach their peak until probably 10 to 15 years hence.

Mr. Conrad pointed out that the department is now dealing with the veteenns of three wars and that there are still living s few who served in the Riel Rebellion. Be- cause of this, the problemi. of ob- taining employment for older vet- erans will be a continuing one.

“ exit successful" was the label

Business lie-establishment

Mr. Conrad in his statement .drew attention to the fact that the greatest expenditure of re-estab- lishment credit in this district had been for business whereas in other districts across Canada the great- est amount was spent on home furniture. The amount of - credit used for establishment of business. purchase of tools and for working capital has totalled $514354- on has been estimated. said Mr. Con- rad. that about 33.300000 will be paid out in re-estsblishment cred- its in this province and of till! total $1,500,000 has been expended to date. .

Veterans have used 8484.311 on the purchase of home furniture and a total of $38.47! on housing, re- pairs to homes and reduotlfifl °1 "ni6i‘t'g'agéi.""" ‘ ‘ ' ' "

Since the inception of the social service division of D.V.A. in this Province in July. i947. the depart- ment has received 51 applications for assistance. The limited niunber of social service agencies througlh- out the province for referral of soc- ial p. blems has in most cases placed the burden of follow-up on tlhe departmental organization. The social service section during the six month period conduct -' 189 interviews and 111 visits with clients and other organizations.

War Veterans Allowance is now being paid to 344 veterans who ilhrough age or infirmity are per- manently unemployable. This sl- lowance is also paid to widows and orphans who are in necessitous cir- cumstances and at the years end 30 widows of veterans were on the rolls and four orphans.

For thirty-three years he has been a member of the Provincial

Red Cross Society, and for thb past ten years its president. He has been president for over a

quarter of a century of the Chil- dren's Aid Society, and for the past thirty-foul" years a director of the Children's Dispensary. This organization was also known as the City Anti-tuberculosis Associ- ation, which later developed into the P. B. I. Tuberculosis League.

Dr. MacMillan has also been a membe of the City School Board for twenty-eight years, and of the Medical Council of Prince Edward Island for thirty-three years. ‘He.

headed the staff of the Char- lottetown Hospital for eighteen years. and since 1942 has been an honorary councillor of the Can- adian Red Cross society. He be- came a fellow of the American College of Surgeons twenty-six years ago, and three years ago was honoured by being appointed a governor of this world-famed organization. '

Dr. MacMillan holds many other honored positions. I-Ie is e gov- ernor of St. Dunstan's University. and Master of the 4th Degree. Knights of Columbus, for Nova scotia and Prince Edward Island. In the latter organization he was formerly Vice supreme Master for Canada and Newfoundland.

C. and St. Dunstanh University he obtained a $75,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation, which en- dowed e chair of economics and sociology.

Prince Edward Island ushered in the New Year in time-honour- ed fashion Wednesday night.

Although the main highways were blocked to motor traffic there was e let-up in the week-long snow fall and people in towns and vlllales gathered to exchange greetings. Everywhere an air of festivity reigned.

In Charlottetown a Night Watch Service. held at the Salvation Army Citadel, was attended by the largest number of worship-

pers in years. Largegcrowds of pleasure seek- ers thronged the various dance

clubs or attended special dances held at the Charlottetown Hotel and at the Armouries where mem- bers of the Garrison Officers

Mess were at home to friends. still others celebrated the arrival of i948 more quietly with relatives and friends at house parties or by attending a special midnight show at. the theatre.

‘The revelry at the Hotel fld Armnurles rose to a crescendo as the midnight hour approached and was climaxed at the stroke of twelve when celebrants bedecked in gaiiy coloured hats and equip- ped with horns and rattles. amidst a shower of paper streamers, drowned out the strains of "Auld Lang sync."
