To ensure the dclivery of pamels to the children all Santa-Pals who have thus far joined the Club, but who have not yet sent in their con- tributions, are asked to forward their gifts to this office at onoe.

Already Santa's helpers no busy preparing presents for delivery. However we must have O0'0p€f8." tlon of the Santa-Pals lf all de- tails are to be executed smoothly, and the campaign carried to a. successful conclusion.

The need for many mo'e Santa-

(Canadian Press) FREDERICTON, N. B., Dec. 2l-—- Prisoners who had served three- quurters. oftheir Joli terms or who had no more than an additional month to serve, as the result of convictions under tlic New Bruns- wick intoxicating liquor act, today were given their freedom as a. spe- cial concession at Christmas time, at the instance of the N. B. Liquor Control Board. ‘ R. G. Fulton, chairman of the board, made known today thiit the board has taken the customary ac- tion this year in ending that the prisoners whose sentences were nearly completed be released in time to spend the festive season with their fmnilies. The decision was reached at the inst meeting of the board. ' Chairman Fulton, while not dis- closing the actual number of pris- oners under the liquor act affected by the Christmas “amnesty” stated that the total was somewhat larg- er than last year. The counties of the province which were principal- ly concerned were Westmoriand, Kent, Gloucester and Madawaskii. Fewer convictions had been entered late this year in the other -- untieg, York County, in contrast with former years, had no jail prisoners serving time for violating the li- quor act ,who came under the Christmas release provision.

BEEII BIII PASSES IN II.S.NIIlISE

Vote Was 230 To 165 Approving M e a s- ure Modifying The Volstead Act.

(By Cecil B. Dickson, Associated Press Stall Writer)

WASHINGTON, Dec. ZL-Tramp- ling down all dry opposition, United States House of Representatives wets jammed the Democratic 3.2 per cent peer bill through unchang- ed today and laid it on the doorstep of the Senate where early action is promised.

The big vote, 230 to 165, approv- ing the measure wiis the first suc- cessful move by wets in either branch of Congress to modify the Volstead Act since it became law i2 years ago.

Shouts and applause greeted Speaker John N. Gamers announ- cement of the blll‘s passage. The size of the affirmative vote surpris- cd even the most. active advocates of the measure, including Speaker Garner, who said: "It was bigger than I expected, and shows that a majority _of the House wants to follow the will of a majority of the people." _

There had been some doubt iii the minds of Garner and other Demo- cratic leaders that enough votes

liiiid Ship Canal were subjects of representations today to Rt. Hon. Sir George Perley, acting Prime Minister, and Hon. Robert J. Man- ioii, Minister of Railways and Can- als. Representing various “ship-by- rail" associations 1n Canada the de- putation consisted of B. Huston, London, H. Wigglesworth, Stratford, W. J. Bruckner, Toronto, W. J. Mengher, Niagara Falls and Nor- man Dowd, Ottawa. A statement was issued after the discussion as follows: »

“The members of the deputation represented that the proposed con- struction of the St. Lawrence water- way would involve a. heavy capital burden on Canada and result in competition with the railways, which would further aggravate their pres- ent difficultles. They therefore re- quested the Fcderal Government to consider:

"1. The possible postponement of the development of the St. Law- rence waterway iuitil such time as the prosperity of the Dominion warranted such development.

"2. That in the event of the St. Lawrence writer-way being complet- ed, tolls be levied on a tonnage bas- is on vessels using the waterway that will be commensurate with the amount of money expended,» similar to the tolls now charged for the use of the Panama and Suez canals, which are recogiilzcd as being self- supporting.

"3. That a system of tolls, on a tonnage basis, be inaugurated on vessels operating through the Wel- land Canal.

"'I‘ho acting Prime Minister called attention to the fact that the Do- minion had already completed the Welland Canal out of funds voted by previous parliaments. The build- ing of this section by Canada added to other works entirely competed meant that Canada had already gone a long way towards contribut-

Renewed Hope

PORT HOPE, Dec. 2l—'1‘iious- ands of cancer sufferers may look with renewed hope today to a humble fnctoryixi this quiet Lake Ontario town. Opening a new chap- ternrCsnadaPs crowded mineral- history, the only radium refinery in the British Empire will be oper- sting wltliln 10 days, and its pro- duct will go to all parts of the world.

Made from Cwnadian ore, shipped by Canadian Airways to the all- Canadlsn planfhere, the radium will prove Canada's challenge to the Belgian syndicate which now controls the world's supply of rad- ium. If present plans materialize, the radium will be so cheaply and

efficiently produced that its price will be lowered. Even the poorest cancer patient will ultimately be able to afford the radium treat- ments which have proved most ef- ficient in the treatment of the dread disease.

e PRICE (‘F RADIUM $7,000 PER MILLIGRAMME

Fifty-six tons of pitcliblende, of a richness almost uncblievable, is stacked at the Eldorado plant here. According to Canadian Govern- ment geologists, it averages between 40 and 50 percent ‘arhiiluni oclde and will produce about 125 milli- grammos refined radium per ton. The present price of radium is about $7,000 pcr mllligramme.

Far up on the shores of Great Bear Lake, Gilbert Lnbine, veter- En prospector, stumbled across the pltchblende veins which are n:- garded as Canada's greatest min- eral dIscovPry and contribution to medicine. laboriously, the so tons were bugged. Twenty tons were sent to Ottawa. The rest. were sent to Port Hope. Now all has been concentrated at the new plant.
