According to Women's Wear Daily, New York. the small fur fashion which has risen to such imgm during the past few, sco- rnns, was never in I stronger or ...ore promising position than it is ms year. The little fur. and par- ncularly the stole, is the back- bone of the dealer's year-round business in fur. The ariall fur fashion has developed to such an extsnt that the requirements of 3 ”lu'o fur" wardrobe -ione coat pins one little wrap .- is an m- creasing trend. bringing addition- 2'. business into fur departments. It is easier to sell the extra piece because oi price as well as style difference. As a fashion. the flat- iering appeal of these types has vircounted to I great extent for their increased demand. Signific- antily, the types of furs used are expanding constantly. providing xariely of peltry and color as well as dPSlgn.

This British people Ire fond of Irinlvernries. They have many occasions on which to celebrate great deeds and events of the past. Wherever one travel: in the Old Country there Ire places that will always be remembered: "Runnymede." where the Magna carts was signed by King John: Btratford-on-Avon, the home of Shakespeare; Eton, famed for its school; Abbottsford, the residence of Sir Walter Scott; great cathed- rals, ebbeys and shrines are to be seen in most of the cities and towns; among these the greatest is at. Paul's Cathedral Ind West- minster Abbey in London and the Scottish War Memorial on Castle Rock, Edinburgh; places at great human interest as Gretna Green, Sherwood Forest and Coventry. These and thousands of others are rich in historic lore. golden legends and romance.

O I O

For more than two years the people throughout the whole of Britain have been making great preparations to demonstrate to the whole world that. thoughthey have borne the blunt of. two of the moat terribly devastating wars of history, and an exhausting per- iod of depression and r onatri... tion. they are carrying forward. as their ancestors did, the great nation building services. in arts and sciences. transportation. in- dustry and invention. that have always been characteristics of their riItion. Their hopes were high and with courage and de- termination they set about com- memorating "The Great Exhibit- ion of the Works of Industry of All Nations" that was planned by Prince Albert and held in Hyde Park, London. in 1851.

'1'iie Prince Consort stated the purpose thus!

"To give us true test and I living picture of the point of develop- ment at which the whole of man- kind has Irrived...and a new starting point from which all no- tions will be able to direct their further exertions. I confidently hope the first impression which the view of this vast collection will produce upon the spectator will be that of deep thimkfulness to the Almighty for the blessings which He has visited upon us here below; and the second, the conviction that they can only be reolised in proportion to the help which we are prepared to render to each other-therefore. only by peace. love. and ready I.ssist- ance. not only between individ- uals. but between nations of the

earth". 0 I 0

Queen Victoria wrote in her diary-May lat. 1851: "This day is one of the greatest and most glor- ious days of our lives. with which to my pride and 103'. the name 01 my dearly beloved Albert is for- ever Isaociated. It is a. duty which makes my heart swell with thank- fulueas...The Park , senied a wonderful spectacle. crowds streaming through it-carriages and troops passing, quite like the Coronation. and for me. the sonic anxiety". .

His Majesty King George VI expressed why Britain should hold the Festinl of 1951 in the follow- in; words: "The motives which inspire the Festival are common to us all-pride in our past and all that it has meant: confidence in the future which holds sornoriv opportunities for us to continue our contribution to'the well-beinil of manklnd...'!'he Qlletn Ind T trust thdt every family in Y1 parts of the country will share it this great Festival so that all of us may join in showing that Britain llveo no new as ever. taking her rightful place among the nations of the world”.

Opened In May

From Charlottetown we heard His Majesty King George Vi. open the Festival of Britain. after a short dedicatory service in St. Paul's Cathedral on May 3rd. 1951. He said: "One hundred years ago. Queen Victoria opened the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park. Its creat- ors were far-sighted men who looked forward to I world in which the advances of art and science would uplift civilization to enduring peace and prosperity. This Festival of Britain has been planned, like its great predeces- sor. as I visible sign of national achievement and confidence.

"...With the spirit of our on- cestors renewed in us. we con. un- der God's providence. restore and expand the prosperity of which they laid the foundations. We can draw inspiration from their staunch example. and confidence from the modern achievements of our own industry.

"...In this Festival. then, we look back with pride, and forward with resolution.

"...Many of these activities and displays will be of lasting value. They will maintain the prestige of our arts and industries abroad by proof of our world- renowned skill in design and craftsmanship; and they will also show how vital a part is played in industry, by scientific imagin- ations and research."

It home Ind on the seven seas. Her explorations and dis- coveries not only on the contin- ents and islands of the world. but in the arts and sciences. where many of her men have disting- uished themselves as they have helped build I better world for thc future.

w.c.T.u. NOTES

A CDITBTIAN CITIZEN AND THE DRINK PROBLEM

The church is concerned with the drink problem It the point of human personality. Jesus de- clared that the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. Christianity endeavours to redeem men frorri habits and to make possible the realization of their highest pos- sibilities as children of God. This purpose puts the Christian re- ligion in' direct conflict with those elements in society whim seek to exploit human weak- ness, or to degrade or destroy personality. or to prevent the individual from achieving his highest spiritual development.

The modern scientific labor- atory finds alcohol a narcotic. of which small amounts affect the highest mental and moral func- tions first-caution. judgment. self-control. -These are the God- llkenesa attributes which. creat- ed in the image of God, make us different from and superior to the animals.

The two drinking are

great impulses to promoted by the liquor traffic: the ubiquitous taverns and the colorful ever- present advertising on billboards and in magazines. Both are paid for by the drinkers-not only by drunks, but by those who drink moderately, perhaps not enough -yet-to intel-fere with their business or occupation. The drunkards all know what drink- ing does for them and they curse

it. But the moderate drinker drinks under the delusion that he can "let it alone" when he

wants to, and vigorously protests his right to drink when he wants to-until he finds himself and others it is too late.

Example appeals to the de- sire to imitate-the example suggested by I poster. I mess- zlne picture. I sound on the radio. the action of an associate -these can be resisted when there is a firm belief based on definite knowledge. supported by habits fostered and strengthened by moral conviction taught in the home and church. Christian- ity is I moral religion. The Bible -given to us for doctrine. teaches us what is right Ind what is wrong. "Thou shalt not

drink wine or strong drink-"
