Visit on Tuesday 0f Madame Casgrain

Mr. Donald Gordon, c

the Wartime Prices aggumgagg Board. hopes t0 enlist an army of Canadian housewives to carry on the Dominion-wide battle against inflation. a battle which he has Spoken of as ‘isucond only in im- portanoe to the battle in the air, onwtltie sf: and on land."

'1 Ii e purpose of organizing Pflflw Fdwofd Island women as a unit in this home-front struggle, Madame Pierre F. Casgrain, of Lion. treal, will be in Charlottcioivn on Tuesday night, to begin prellmjn. 81E‘! dlspussions with a number of Tfioresentatives of various women's organizations in tiie province. Ma- dame Cassi-sin is a distinguished Montrealer, who is giving vigorous- ly of her executive and platform ability, to support the national ef- fort against inflation. Mrs. Cas- grain will meet the Island repre- sentatives at an informal confer ence in the Charlottetown Hotel at 8 o'clock Tuesday night.

The meeting is intended only as u forerunner of a mass meeting. whim will be held in this city on February 27, one month hence In other words. Mrs. Casgrain will lay groundwork for a grand rally, which it is believed will recruit the services of every woman on Prince Edward Island, as a volunteer the anti-inflation army.

At the Charlottetown office of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, it is being emphasized that the women are simply being asked to co-operate to prevent any in- fractions of the government's measures to control prices, and not to undertake anything beyond vJrat. enuld be expected of patriotic Ca- nadians.

Organ Recital at St. Paul's Church Charlottetown

A most delightful short organ recital was given in st. Paul's Church last night after the even- ing service by Lac. Deryck J. Sey- mour, A.R.C.M., A.R..C.O., in peace time organist of St. Mark's Church, Torquay, Devon.

The well balanced programme was as follows:-

Tempo Moderate and Inter- mezzo-From sonata in A Minor- Rheinberger.

(a) Allegretto; (b) Scherzo- Whitlock.

Chorale: Jesu, Joy of Man's De- siring-Bach.

Allegro Moderate-Prom Con- certo in F-Handel.

Mr. Seymour played all the numbers beautifully, though to this listener the. arrangement of the lovely Bach Chorale, "Jesll, JOy of Man's Desiring" and the Allegro Moderate from Handel's Concerto in F had the greatest appeal. The recitalLsts technique was quite be- yond criticism, and his sense of orchestration so fine that he hand- led the registration of the various selections with a taste and discrim- ination which has rarely-perhaps never-been shown by any organ- 11:12 who has been heard in recital

ere,

Also his musical accentuation was so just and accurate that most markedly in the Handel Con- certo, he imparted a verve and rhythm to the music, which is sel- dom heard in organ playing, and is indeed, from the nature of the in- strument, extremely difficult to attain.

The only regret of all who heard this splendid recital was that it could not have been longer; but it is their hope that before Mr. Sey- mour leaves us to continue his training elsewhere. he may be able to give the people of Charlotte- town another opportunltv of en- joying his most artistic playing.

Bv nightfall the Japanese had tillhgpned the cordon around the Australians. ceaselessly poundirg them with artillery, mortars, aerial bombs and machine-gun fire while snipers in the trees tried to blcli off outposts.

The beleaguered men got no slee Monday night. Ordered to withho‘ their fire in order to cons“ dwindling ammunition supplies, Australians repelled repeated J ,. anese attacks with bayone s. Throllmhout the night tteetop snip- ers poured in fire and Japanese grenades burst around the weary RICH,

On Tuesday the situation was dss- perate. Food and ammunition wcie nearly exhausted and the Austral- ians were carrying with them an in- creasing number of badly wounded. At this point Gen. Bennett ordered the battalion commanders to destroy their transport and fight their way back the best way possible.

At 6 p. m. Tuesday wireless cam- munications ceased in the midst of a message, Australian headquarters feared the worst. But at 8 a. m. Wednesday came the laconic mess- age: “We now through roadblock with guns and transport."

Gen. Bennett's face lit up with a. grim smile as he showed us on tlze map that that meant his men had fought their way through a seven- mile-long corridor of enemy ma- chine-gun nests.

He. meanwhile, had sent out a commando party arnicd with tom- my guns to trv to dislodge the Jap- anese holdinl: a causeway head but the party failed to locate its be- leaguered comrades.

This message never reached the hemmed-in battalions. During the night the batteries for their radio truck had failed.

Isolated groups of Indians and Australians still are fighting their way to the British lines. Many of them are wounded. All are suffering from tigue and hardship. But there has been not a word of com-

(Continued from page 1)

Tmrliiwnrtime Prices and Trade Board has by order effective im- mediately fixed three-quarters of a pound (12 ounces) per person per “reel; a5 the sugar ration for household consumption in Canada”. Mr. GOfdOn said.

There will be iicbodv to say to the Canadian consumer "you can't!" it will be up to the Cana- dian to regulate himself or her- self and obey the sugar law and breach of any board order carries a possible penalty of $5.000 fine and two years zniprisonment.

"Any consumption of sugar in excess of the stipulated ration is not, only an offence against the law but 1s also an offence against de- cency," said Mr. Gordon.

Even under rationing Canadians will be able to buy one-quarter pound a week more than Britons.

No Ration Coupons

For the present at least there will be no system of ration coupons. stamps or tickets. Canadians will purchase their sugar at regular prices in the ordinary way If they don't-and two months will be time enough for the board to know

-t.he alternative is coupon ra- tioning. _ "The onus is entirely on the

purchaser," Mr. Gordon told news-

papermen. “People want to be told wilRt to do in this war. We are telling them."

He stressed that the success of the sugar-rationing plan was de- pendent on public co-opcratiou and that the prcsciit plan failed. a system of coupon-rationing- "expensive and cumbersome," he called _lt-_-_would_liave_to_,be in-

Adults, children and infants. boarders, servants and guests who remain for four days or more should each be computed as a single person by the householder when deciding how much sugar should make up a two-week supply at three-quarters of a pound per per- son per week.

"It. is unlawful to purchase more than two weeks supply at a. time or to purchase any sugar for household use 1f there is two weeks’ supply or more on hand," Mr. Gordon said.

Persons with two weeks’ supply on hand may not make any pur- chase until consumption at the ration rate has reduced the amount 0n hand to less than two weeks’ supply.

There is no restriction on the method of purchase, he made clear. One person may buy for a whole household, either in person or by telephone, for cash or credit.

Industrial users of sugar and hospitals and hotels. will be ad- vised by the sugar administrator, S. R_ Noble, how the sugar restric- tions will affect them.

Housewives svere assured that when the season comes for pre- serving and canning extra sugar will be made available.

Ample Stocks

Mr. Gordon said there were ample sugar stocks on hand no one need go short if purchasers were held to tiie ration quantity. But hc noted sugar conservation steps taken in the United States and snid:-

“As :1 matter 0f prudent pre- caution we have decided to take conservation steps in Canada. If the United States is taking sugar conservation steps so should Can- ada because the supplies of all the all es must be considered a com- mon pool."
