The services of the Feast of the Nativity of‘ our Lord began with the first Evenson! at 5 p. m. on Christmas Eve. At 11.45 the Church was filled for the Midnight Mass at which there was a large num- ber of municants.

Henderson and at ll.00 there was a Choral Euchar- ist, the celebrant was Father Cot- ton, assisted by the Incumbent as Deacon and the Assistant-Priest us Sub-Deacon. The music was by Woodward except the Creed and Gloria by Mecbecke. This service also began with a procession and the sermon was preached by the Incumbent. _

The singing of the choir was‘ ex-

tremely good, Mr. Walter MacNutt being the organist. - "The decorations of spruce and the hangings and ornaments of the altar were very beautiful and were in themselves an inspiration to worship. .

On next Sunday, Christmas Sun-

e will be Christmas music

, the li.00 Eucharist and at Evensong—at Evensong at ‘i p. m. Several groups of carols will be rendered and the Magnificat and Nunc Dlmittis will be sung to Gregorian Tones with Felix-Bour-

Joined Paratroopa

His thirst for action sharpened, Heaps decided to join the para- troops. He applied, was’ rejected, and appealed in person to the gen- erai commanding Britain's air- borne forces. By the end of Aug- ust_ he was attending a paratroop training course and S t, 17 found him Arnhem-bound wit a British Unit. a

After three or four perilous days as a liaison officer with the para- troop force Heaps was captured when he tried to swim the Lower Rhine on one of his missions, He was carried downstream by the current and made shore on the German-held north bank.

A fow days later began the last phase of his sdventuresome army career. With two others he escap- ed from a railroad cattle-car tuk- ing prisoners to Germany, an went underground with the Dutch resistance, which helped him to escape to the British lines,

Back in England for recuper- ation, Heaps received carte blariche at the war office to continue with his plans to help organize the es- cape of others evading ca ture in German-held parts of Hol and. Making his head uarteie near Nijmegen with a fled unit of the British intelligence service, hc co-operated with headquarters, 2nd Canadian Corps, and 101st United States Airborne division, during the winter months in plotting the rescue of Allied evaders across tho icy Rhine below Arnhem. In one operation alone, in which he play- ed a big role, 140 cold, hungry paratroops were organized under the German's nose and brought to safety behind the Allied lines, Intelligence assignments took him far and wide across Holland and Germany before and after the capitulation, The most vivid mem- ory he “brought back to Canada last summer, however, was of the Belsen concentration camp, which he visited the dsy it was captured.

Plaxis for a new treatment winl and nurses‘ residence at Falcon- wood Hospital, for exipansion of the Infirmary, construction of a Government "administration bulld- ing" and public works eq ‘pment depot. as well as an cxten ve PW- grain of road-building including a new Charlottetown-Borden high- wa and bridge st Brighton, are ou ned in the Interim Report of the Prince Edward Isl-and Advis- ory Reconstruction Committee which 15 to he tabled at the next session of the Legislature.

This section of the committee's report is headed ‘Proposed Program of Public Works for post-wai- per- iod". imd was prepared by the Provincial Department of Public Works and Highways “in keeping Govem- ment of Prince Edward Island of preparing a back-log of fut- ure work bo h as insurance against immediate unemployment and so- cially to the point where we will not likely be subject even to lut- ure unemployment."

The summary lists roads to be improved or built “whenever

economically feasible," and to de- sign "which if not snow free, will at least be reasonably sibie to ke open ten or twelve months of he year." Cost esti- mates are given based on the lat- est contract available in the Prov- ince. Several of these projects, it is explained. have already been started and to date $675,000 has been spent on them.

Prominent on the list is the pro- posed Charlottetown - to - Borden highway via Bonshaw. The esti- mated cost or the 40 miles of pavement is $600,000, plus $18,000 for four miles of subgrading. i

Brighton Bridge

For the Brighton Bridge pro- ject three estimates are given, as follows:

Via North River as at present,

Via Lewis’ Shore, $1,000,000.

Via Brighton Road, $1,350,000. Other road projects are listed with details of cost and amounts expended to (with estimate of pavement costs): Mlllview to Wood Islands, 460,000; Mont ue to Wood Islands. $300,- 000; S.

Government Buildings

Other projects include a. two- story "administration building" for the Provincial Government at an slflmliod cost of $208,604 which could contain 18.000 square feet of oflice space. "At present," the report says, “the Provincial Gov- ernment offices are ead throughout the City of Chai- otte- iiown in various owned and rented offices. Many of these buildings, built for various unrelated ur- poses, are not suited for t sir present uses but must used until new accommodation is sec- ured. Centralisetion of these of- fices would greatly facilitate inter-

oornmunication between depart-

‘ ment-s, e

"At_ present." says the report, "the s; y equipment is stored in an old rink, rented buildl or in the open. A now depot e enough to house all equipment based at Charlottetown would add gets to the useful lLfe of mach-
