Says Recruiting For Air Force Encouraging

"Although the number of recruits this Province has contributed to the expanding ranks of the R. C.- A.17'. has fallen off slightly from the 1951 figure." said 171. A. Gius- tien, commanding officer of the Provincial Recruiting Unit in sum- mersido last night. "the results ob- tained on the Island during the past year have once agairr been vary encouraging. This Province has always proved to be one of the leading Canadian centres in pro- ducing recruits on a percentage per population basis. and the past year has been no exception."

Commenting on the unit's activ- ities during the past year, he stated that nearly 600 people were coli- tacted either on mobile or at Sum- merside and of that number some 200 applications were actually en- rolled. Over 7,000 miles was cover- ed by the unit on mobile recruit- ing in the course or which Char- lottetown. Montague. Sourls, Alber- ton, Officer-y and Tignish were vis- ited on a regular schedule.

There has been an inexplicable shortage of female applications re- cently, he further stated. which has been contrary to results gain- ed in previous years.

The Air Force has many attract- ive trades to offer young women. Ind. by serving they can release lute numbers of men for more essential jobs. which makes their need very apparent. As women are now permitted to volunteer for OVBYIOIJ service, their opportun- ities for travel and adventure are

more widespread. It is hoped. therefore, that more young women will take advantage of these service opportunities in the coming Year, as they have done in the past.

From the current expansion of tho R.,C.A.l'.. rm olustian point- ed out. and the overseas commit- manta mule under the North At- llntlc 'rroaty.Oru.nias.tlon. it is sv- ident that the l?..C. A. P. will need still greater umber of young men to fill the ranks and make frequent rotation of personnel possible. Al- thourh the present strength of the Iirfcroe is -approximately 33,500 Ind many new units and squadrons Wm activated in the past. year. the ceiling strength or the R.C.A.F. has not been reached as yet. and the demand is null g-reat'for air- crew '1 applicants. technical officers and ground crew clerks and tech- nicians, .

He further indicated that Prince Edward Island has produced more

the II. C. A. F. in the put. and l-.er.l

further contributions will assist

neatly in bringing the air-force to required strcnr

S'side Town Council Meeting

A resolution passed at a special meeting of the Summerside Town Council last evening stated that in a list of firemen received from the Fire Chief and secretary of the Fire Department it was found that some members are not elig- ible for the Fire Department due (to physical defects and non at- tendance at fires and meetings.

As a result the names of eight men were withdrawn from the Fire Department, effective De- cember 31, 1952.

The eight men named were: Leo Doucette, Earl Campbell, Elmer Burt. James Watson, Char- les Mountain. Claude Kenny, Wil- llam Morrison. George "Jack" Peters.

Another resolution granted four months sick leave effective Jan- uary 12, 1953. that had been re- quested by the Summerside street foreman, George "Jack" Peters.

It was suggested by Councillors that one of the regular town em- ployees would be abls to look after Mr. Peters' duties during his absence on sick leave.

Before passing the motion con- rerning the change in the list of firemen. Councillor Sheen. chair- man of the Fire Department com- mittee, explained 'that several weeks ago a list of the names of firemen had been submitted who were on the pay list.

In reviewing the list the names of a number of men were found which, it was felt, should be checked to see if they were quali- fied as regards physical fitness and attendance at meetings.

The names of these men were handed to company captains and to the Fire Chief for review, and after consideration the names of the men listed in the resolution were suggested for removal for the reasons stated above.

The Mayor referred to the over- stuffed Fire Department which- had resulted from return of former firemen fpom World War Two.

During their absence the De-

srtment had been brought up to full strength, and on their return to.-the Fire Department the re-

sult was an unusually large num- "1

in the Depart-

ber of firemen ment. '

During the past year the fire- men had been granted an annual payment of 5200 per man. From this sum. however. deductions are made for any first that were missed by individual firemen.

The meeting was presided over by Mayor Henry W. Wedge, and all Councillors were present with the exception of Councillor T. D. Morrison.-S. S

These are the days when weary post-office hands are getting the strayed greetings into their proper boxes or delivery bags. These delayed messages can sometimes cause disappointment and misunderstanding in the Yule- tide. but don't lay too much blame on the mail sorters and carriers. They had a Herculean task. and sometimes the letters and cards are somewhat vague in their ad- dresses.

Is that New Year's resolution that you made with such fine in- tentions on New Year's Eve be- ginning to irk a little? Are you be- ginning to search for excuses to cushion the shock of breaking it? DO you try to persuade yourself that it was a foolish resolve at best, and born of the delirium of ring- ing out the old, and ringing in the new? People can laugh at New Year's resolutions, but the chances are your resolve wasn't. foolish at all. Most New Year's resolutions spring from a realization of short- comings, and an earnest desire to correct them Habit-shackled crea- tures that we are, we find that in the long haul the resolve is much harder to live up to than it was to make. There should be a New Year's Resolution Success Club wheiie people who held out for the full 365 days could gather next New Year's Eve and pat each oth- er on the back for their endurance and will-power. ,

S'side High

The Summerside High School

hockey team, reinforced by a half- dozen grads of the institution. had too much speed for the Cape Traverse Rovers at the Bedeque Rink last night. and in the sea- ond game of the, South Shore League trounced the Cape boys to the decisive tune of 10-2. -The Rovers netted the first tally, but the Sum-Hi aggregation tied it up in 21 seconds. and from then on the result was, never in doubt. In fact, if Edgar Miller in the Rovers net hadn't come up with an outstanding performance. the score would have been even more lop-sided.

Vance Harris, fast skating sop- homore on the High School sextet, led all snipers with three goals. and picked up one assist. Maui'-

ice Cannon. lanky right winger with a really fine shot, netted two counters, as did the dlpsy

doodle artist, Duck Darby. and the flashy speed merchant. Mark Delaney. Benny Grady, back from Korea, showed a lot of the old hockey savvy he displayed when he teamed with Laysh Schurman a few years back. He netted a singleton, and had exceptionally tough luck on several other ef- forts that looked good for sure goals.

Gord Cutrliffe. guardsman. accounted Cape Traverse tallies.

The boys started out at a sur- prisingly fast clip considering the young season, but slowed down their pace as the game pro- gressed. The game was rough. some of the boys carrying their sticks high. and missing few op- portunities fo slam their oppon-
