E ays Camp Canteen Hurling Sale. Of Merchants: Goods it

. TORONTO. Dec. 19 - (OP) - .35-,K. Nelson. manager of the janndiail Retail Federation. said -may the organisation has asked PDCICIACE Minister Claxton to close gift shops operated in armed ser- vice camps. It claims the shops are - iii:ri.liig Christmas trade.

Mr. Nelson said a gift shop at the R. O. A.F. station near Summer- side. P.E. I., has been selling house- hoid goods, toys. clothes and elec .1-in appliances at cut rates and tha stme of the merchandise is reach- ing civilians. Canteens in other

' camps also-were bla.ined.

' "Armed service canteens were i nci'Pl' meant to sell such things as rlecirlc refrigerators, toy trains or ll'1l5lllllg machines." he said. ". . . This unfair competition is hitting the merchants."

Canteens were necessary for the morale of service camps but they should confine their sales to such. illiiigs as beverages. cigarets and shxiriiig gifts, he said.

orraws. Dec. 21 - (OP) C De- lonrr Headquarters said Saturday ihai the policy of the armed forces is in avoid competing with civilian rvlnil stores. lirztdqnarters issued a statement ...; ills policy following a protest in Toronto Friday by E.F. K. Nel- smi, manager of the Canadian Re- is:. Federation. who said a gift - shop at the R.C.A.F. Station near S'.lllllli(Zl'5lCI8, P.E.I.. has been sell- inf: household goods at cut 'rates fllifi that some of the merchandise is rmcliliig civilians. The headquarters statement said 41.. Defence Department's policy provides that the officer command- int: a station may authorize a store li:i'.ing the same facilitiu as would he available if the community were A civilian one. This is mainly done when facil- lvzr.-. in the nearest urban centre aw inadequate or not easily acces- .-ihrr to the majority of the station : pciawiinel. - it The l't.C.A.F. has ordered its i Snznmerside establishment that 3 iirircs in its gift shop must hence- : forth conform with prevailing prices r' in the town of Summerslde.

This reminder of government pol- lrv is being brought to the atten-

illlll of stations in similar positions.

Christmas Party At Garrison Mess

The Armour-ies was packed solid Saturday afternoon as the young- sters crowded in to take part in the annual Christmas party staged for them by the members of the Gar- rlson N.C.O.'s Mess. All children of members were eligible and they came in droves.

They went home more than a little full of seasonal goodies, more. than a little happy over their gifts. and in some cases more than a lit.- tle sick from having taken the "help yourself" attitude a. bit too liter- ally. They had candy and cakes. chocolate milk and other soft drinks. fruit and nuts and to top it all an individually selected gift. each of which betrayed the thought of those who did the purchasing.

Of course the highlight of the whole afternoon was the arrival of Santa Claus to present the count- less gifts under the big tree. The "oil's" and the "ah's" of the tiny ones were plainly heard at the Yule-

tide gentleman came on the scene.

Among the many who contribut- ed so much to the success of the party were Mes president Sgt. Mai. I-I. Archer. R.S.M. Eric Jessonir. Sgt. Mat. C.E. Ryan. Sgt. Mr-'. Henry Gallant and a host of will-I ing workers, including wives cf members.
