The universal excitement evoked when the young Prince of Edmhurgh was born on a misty November night marked the cli- max to an eventful year for the King's elder daughter.

1t was also a significant year for the winsome Princess Mare- aret. now in her 19th year. After her sister's marriage Margaret took on many public engage- ments that would normally have fallen to Elizabeth and in so doing Emorgéd as Britain's youngest leader of fashion.

The ptflalic was surprised when Margaret, early this year, hogan wearing the very latest. "New Look" clothes. Their surprise a- rose from the fact that hitherto members oi‘ the Royal Family had flung‘ tenaclously to wartime my»; and in particular i0 the _~lotli-saving short skirt.

Heroic Rescue Attempt Fails

WASHINGTON, Dec 38 _ (AP)

- The United states Navy told today the story of a cabin boy killed by sharks when he fell overboard from a merchant ship in Cuban waters and how another cabin boy tried vainly to save him. . I The Navy said that Dec. l4, a 14-year-old Danish cabin boy Bent Jeppsen, fell overboard from the ship Grebe Maersk of Copenhagen. Russell Anthony Latona, i3, also a cabin boy, dived overboard with a life preserver in an attempt to save his friend. No other crew members were on deck and they did n-'-=. miss the two boys.

Jeppsen was attacked and killed by sharks and Latona was slight- ly injured. About 40 hours later, Latona went ashore at Taco on the north coast of Cuba and was cared for by a plantation owner.

Raise u. z. Penalty To Ilalt liesertions

I WELLINGTON. N. Z.. Dec. 23- .(OP)—Because of the large num-

ibers of men desertlng from over- seas ships in New Zealand polls,

Joglslation has been introduced in-.

{creasing the maximum pznaity

' _from one lo six months imprison-

ment.

Since the war ended many Britons. unable to obtain pmsage or lacking money for the- fare. have taken advantage of the low penalty in New Zealsnd to work their way with the intention of the

mum of a month in prison for de- sertion. Some of the deserters have been en of good type but considerable numbers have been men with criminal records anxious to begin

y Iactivlties in a ooimtry where they iwere not known

to the police. Many of them have appeared regularly in the courts since their arrival. ,

some ships have lost as many as 25 tn 35 men through deserthrn

presenting the owners with a seri- ous problem in obtaining replace- manta.

In the first nine months of this year there were 550 desertions. It is expected that the increased penalty will act as a deterrent and the flow of dtyertions will be cur- tailed.
