"The Norwegian figures suggest that it may be possible to decrease the rate and severity of multiple sclerosis by about 80 per cent or mm-e," hs'seicl. Figures for Switz- efland seem to indicate the same possibility."

Multiple sclerosis increased at- fer the war in 'Norway, where fat intake increased, but there was no increase in the disease in Holland where near-starvatioh conditions had prevailed during the war and where fat consumption had not risen to pre-war levels, he said.

Gracie Fields Tendered

Enthusiastic

Gracie Fields, world famous en- tertainer. arrived in Charlottetown on Saturday afternoon for a four day rest before appearing at the Forum on Wednesday evening.

Looking much younger than her years, Miss Fields stepped off the plane to be met by His Worship Mayor 3. Earle MacDonald and Mrs. MacDonald, City Clerk J. A. Fullerton. and a group of mem. bers of the Kiwanis Club. Intro- ductions were macle by Kiwanis President Lawson Jenkins. and a bouquet of crimson roses was pre- sented by little Miss Patsy Jane MacDonald.

An Enthusiastic crowd of fans were present to catch a glimpse of "our Gracie". and the attractive star of screen. radio. and stage smiled happily at those close enough to talk with her. and an- swered quesiions in the pleasant. easy manner for which she is so

famous.

Since beginning her present tour in April, most of Miss Fields' con- certs have been one night stands. necessitating a rush right after a performance in order to reach the next city in which she was to ap-

pear.

When told that a siorm was ex- pected over the week-end, she looked around her hotel room and sighed, "I've been on the go for so long that it'll be a pleasure to just sit in this attractive room and look out over your charming city." Miss Fields stated that she had been much attracted to Prince Ed- ward sland from the air, and thought she had chosen Wisely when she decided to take her very brief holiday here.

Five years ago in Bombay. Gracie declared she was too old

,at 47 to fling her legs around any

more, and mapped out a series of farewell concerts. Three years ist- er she attempted to retire, but public insistence brought her back.

When asked in Charlottetown if she still thought of retirlng.Gracie touched her throat and said that the voice was still there. and the public still wanted to hear ii. "Ap- parently the Lord intended that I help to entertain people", she said. "I suppose I will jjust keep going as long as they enjoy it."

Always ready and eager to assist those deserving of help. Miss Fields has a promising young vio- linist appearing with her in her present tour. in the person of 19 year old Marguerite Learning. Ten years ago in Niagara Falls Miss Learning asked Gracie if she would help her get started in the entertainment world. "Keep prac- ticing" Gracie told her, and the result is that Miss Learning is now completing a Canada-wide tour with the worlds greatest enter- tainer. It is no wonder that Miss Fields carries the international title of "our Gracie."

Island Odds And Ends

This is the time of year that door-to-door masazine saieunen make their rounds, and offer the reading lovers very attractive sub- scrlption terms. Most of the sales- man or sales-women are honest decent folk who keep faith with their customers. There are, at the same time, phonics, who collect. but never deliver, and there are others who represent nobody but themselves, and will appropriate anything not nailed down.

one of the last mentioned gent- ry-the kind with taking ways- is doing twenty days in the Queen's County Jail after talking himself into is home on the west end of Richmond street, and lifting twenty dollars. This smooth work- er represented himself as a. college student working his way through MCGIII University, selling certain National publications. The lady of the house was not interested in the magazine proposition, but be- fore the "salesman" left he ask- ed for a drink of water. He helped himself to water in the kitchen and also to a twenty dollar bill which was in a cup over the kitch- en sink.

The theft was discovered al- most immediately and the slick-

star was picked up within 48 hours I livcred an

by the Charlottetown police. In court he gave a different name than the one used when profess- ing to be a struggling college student.

It is some satisfaction to know that the gentleman is cooped up in Queen's County jail, but yet the twenty bucks is gone with the wind. It would be far more satis- factory if in addition to the twenty days, the young man was made to work long enough to repay the money. Tls true that he is being punished, but so are his victims- to the extent of twenty honestly earned dollars.

It would be well for the public to check the credentials of all magazine and book salesmen. The honest ones carry trustworthy id- entification papers supplied by the companies for whom they work.

Is there anything more delicious than a lobster supper, the kind where second helpings are wel- comed and whether you gorge or eat to keep your figure down the price is the same.

Sourls.is winding up a Lobster Regatta to be held on July 12th with Just such a supper, when the main course will be lobster and more lobster.

The Town of Souris and the Sourls Hospital are sponsoring the regatta which will feature boat-

racing and water sports on the town's harbor, and games and amusements on souris Break-

water. Since the date selected falls on Wednesday, the programme should draw a big holiday crowd. Dozens of fishermen from many Island points are entering the races, some from as far as Mur- ray River. The Murray River men by the way have made is reputat- ion as prize winners at several similar regattas in Nova scotia. The lobsters for the lobster feast are being contributed by the fish- ermen and packers of aourls and district. since the lobster fishing season ends on July lst. special permis- sion of the Dominion Dept. of Fisheries is being obtained to hold the lobster in crates until they are boiled for the supper. Practically all the business men. young and old of souris are serv- ing on committees delegated to organize the boat racing, dancing, games, music and the banquet. "Bill" Acorn is pushing the publicity, and commitee members include, C. E. Lavie the mayor. Mr. Roy Macisean of Matthew and McLean's, Art Peters of the East- ern Packing company, Pete Mc- Lelian, Dominion Fisheries Dept. Jim Brennan. Brent St. John. J. J. McDonald, the station agent. and others. I Eastern Packing Company of Sourls have been shipping about 40,001) pounds by refrigeration car to the Boston Market. Five or more trucks leave each week and trav- el the seven hundred odd miles in twenty four hours. The lobsters enter the U. S. duty free. Usually the truck driver makes the trip alone.

At the rate new residences are going up in Brighton. there will be few vacant lots out that Wall in a few years. Not. only is this true of Brighton but of the coun- tryside beyond Brighton's limits. Farm land is Ite-dlly maklnx room on the North River Road for new homes owned by Chill" lottetown business men. If the long talked of Brighton bridge should ever materialize the over- flow will spill over into York Point. Two thousand dollars is lining asked for large lots in the newer pert of Brighton although small ones can be had for a thousand or a little less. Two or three hundred dollars would have purchased enough land on which to build a home in this new sec- tion. before World War II.

Congregaiion Of Zion Observes 90th Anniversary

Rev. A. D. MacKinnon. B.A.. B. D., D.D.. of Little Narrows, Cape

Breton was guest speaker at both services yesterday at Zion Church on the occasion of the observance of the 90th anniversary of the founding of Zion Church in Char- lottetown.

The church was filled to capac- ity et both services and special music was provided by the choir under the direction of Mr. Frank Johnson. A.T.C.L. The male quar- ielle comprising Messrs. Harry Creswell, J. A. MacLcod, Wendell Phillips and Malcolm MacKinnon was heard in inspiring numbers.

Taking as his theme for the morning service, ”The Church's Mission". Rev. Dr. MacKinnon

based his discussion on the words of Christ to His disciples contain- ed in John 20-21: "As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." He reviewed the early history of the Presbyterian Church in Scot- land. how it had survived disloy- alty from within and persecution from without and developed I strong church. The church today, the speaker said. must continue to fill this mission, that is of inspir- ing Christ-like living among its members.

Still greater effort is necessary in order to ensure the continu- ance of progress towards woxld reformation on Christian prin- cipies.

Evening Service

Rev. Dr. MacKinnon uguiii ric- inspiring sermon. his subject being "the World's Hope.” The scriptural basis of his address was lat Timothy, verse 1: "And Lord Jesus Christ which is our hope."

The speaker developed the topic in an excellent manner. The greatest danger in the world to- day is fear, but he said this can be offset by hope and the hope of the world is the return to the way of Christ. He posed the question. "How can we conform Christ and His teachings to conditions of to- day'."'yand went on to show that in spite of its weaknesses and failure to convert all mankind, Christianity is still the greatest power for good in the world.

Whenever Christ is fully accept- ed in any sphere of human en- deavor, he said, then lie is found fully adequate for every need.
