United Kingdom Shipping Service Restored This Week

Canadian Pacific service between the Maritime ports of Halifax and Saint John and the United ling- dom will be restored this iweek when the zoooo-ton passeniier liner Empress of Canada docks ht Halifax December i6 and at Saint John on December 17 to complete her first post-Vfar voyage to these ports.

When the gleaming white vessel arrives under command of Capt. E. A. Shergold. a veteran of Can- adian Pacific service through the two world wars, Maritime water- front observers will find her vastly changed in appearance, both inside and out. from the days when she was a regular_visitor before the war. Her last calls at Maritime ports were during the war when she was in troopshlp service as the Duchess of Richmond.

The current voyage is the first of four to be made to these ports during this season. In later trips, the Empress of Canada is scheduled to arrive at Halifax on Jan 6. March 2 and March 30. On asch trip she will arrive at Saint John on day later. On most of the (trips her turnaround will be oc- complished in three days, but on the second voyage she is scheduled to lay over at Saint John liom Jan. 7 until Jan. i4. Following this trip she will undergo lili‘ annual overhaul on the other side.

As wartime ports. Halifax and laint John saw the Empress of Canada inﬁrequentlp‘, for war

the globe. In Admiralty service she steamed 436.000 miles anal t'.'lll‘i(’(i i87.(lC0 persons, including 26.000 llrisoncrs of war and over 8.000 civilians. As a war trans- port. she sztilcd the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Scas.

Since those days, the vessel has acquired the "new look" Her hu_ll and superstructure arc whitc, in zlcccrilancc with thc Canadian

‘Pacific's Empress tradition, and there is a green rihand from stem l0 stern. llrr boot-topping also is green. The ship's two funnels are huff. with the Canadian Pacific's chcckcrcd red and White flag painted on each.

During her rcconversion follow- ing the war. the Canada's pro- menade deck was ccmpletely glass- enclosed and the after promenade was increased by 2.600 square feet.

Inside, cabins yrere enlarged and rearranged so that the Empress now carries 700 passengers instead of 1.300. Accommodation is divided between first and tourist, but there is one public room-the social hall-- where the two classes mix

for movies and dancing. Light woodwork and bright colors throughout make the ship most pleasant.

The commander of the ship, Capt. Shel-gold, is youthful in appearance but long on experience. With the Canadian Pacific since 1918. he was second officer of the lllissan- able when she was torpedoed and sunk in the Irish Sea in the First World War. He served subsequently in the Montezuma. Empress of France. Montnairn, lilontclare and e Duchess of Athnll. the latter ship being the first to bring British child war guests to this side dur- ing the war.

In April. b964, he joined the Duchess of Richmond as second

officer and remained with that

house .

officer for the last 14 months of that time. He was transferred to the Duchess of York in 1M1, and in December or that year received his first command as master of the Empire Union. since then, Capt. Shergold has held command of the Empire Yukon. Duchess of Bedford. Duchess o! Richmond and Empress of Australia. l-le is a native of Cowes, Isle of Wight. England.

In hcr seven summer voyages to Montreal, the Empress of Can- ada carried 4.810 passengers west- bound and 4.393 eastbound. On most of her trips, her passenger lists were close to capacity.

In maintaining her three-week schedule, The Canada made three- day turnarounds at Montreal and four-day turnarnunds at Liverpool. spending seven days at. sea each way. On invo voyages. delays for- ced tvro-day turnarounds at Mon- treal. but the job of loading and unloading cargo and passengers cleaning ship and taking on stores was acomplished. On her pro-war schedules she usually spent about a week in port.

During each trip, the Empress of Canada will take on stores for a complete trip at Saint John. whose merchants will benefit from the visits since all stores will be purchased locally.

0n an average trip. hcr pur- chases will be 26.495 pounds of meants and poultry. 5B5 pounds of fish. 5.174 pounds of dairy products and 1.883 pounds of soap and cleaning materials.

All of these go into maintaining the pro-war Empress menu stand- ards. famous for their variety and quality The eyes of the average Briton, making his first trip after more than seven years cf austerity. fairly pop when they first fall upon the menus. Generally. it lakes them

The 1948 Automobile Insurance Rating Programme had already been decided upon when the Federal Government recently announced tax changes aﬂecting the price of new passenger automobiles.

In the Automobile Rating Programme premiums had been adjusted for each rating territory and for each class of cover, according to the experience reﬂected by the frequency of losses and the average cost of claims. In adjusting these premiums, both increases and reductions were involved, leaving the general level approximately the same as that in

The increased cost of passenger automobiles will undoubtedly affect the cost of claims and, unless this is offset by a reduction in the frequency of accidents, increased automobill premiums will be inevitable.

In the hope that motorists, by the exercise of greater csre and the strict observance of all safety rules and regulations, may so reduce the frequency of accidents to the point that increases in premiums will be unnecessary, the Rating Programme is being allowed to stand as originally "drafted.

He looked at his wrist watch "It will be exactly three twenty-six when you hear the little chimes." he said. “Will you kindly get out o! here and go homo and let mo get some sleep?" .

When she was gons he phoned Featherly again; "John, have you done anything yet?!‘

"I'm checking over p, list, I think I know lust your man."

“Be sure he's clever-the clever- ut man you can find. Tell him to ply Mr. Teel with strong drlnk—or shellac. It's all very mysterious, John. A young lady named Cnral liiayberry wants the information. She is scared stiff, but not talk- lng."

"Tile ilelrcss?"

"Yes. Ailri this interests the. The time elt-lucnt is innportant."

"How was the dinner?"

"Delightful. John; simply de- lightful. The senator was charmed. Miss Porter was beautiful. amusing and convincing, I made some real progress. 1t was the right move."

‘Toward What the LNQ Church Around the Corner?"

“John, I'm afraid you're an in- curable romatic. Good night."

He went into the kitchen, opened a. bottle of chilled beer and un- wrapped the chicken sandwiches Douglas had made for him. The spinach and parsnips Sally had inflicted on him had left him with a ravenous appetite. The beer was cool and nutty. and the sand- wiches were damp and delicious.

He was puzzled by Barney's choice of a girl like Sally when he might have been marrying a girl like Coral. for he believed that every action of Barney's was cold- ly calculated.

It occurred to Eric, as he sipped the beer and muncbed the sand- wiches, that Barney would be ideally suited to Coral. He led an interesting, somewhat plcaresque life. He was undeniably attractive and clever. He “ore his clothes beautifully. Ho was smooth. He had acquired flawless poise.

Eric movcd his hcud slowly up and down with the movement of his jaws. "l think." he thought. “that Barney and Coral would be very happy together."

“I love you. darling. I lava you so much." "That's all that matters," he

said. "I trust you. No matter what happens, I trust you. Now, finish your coffee. I'll have some. too. Della! Coffee!” -

Bally dried her eyes and they sat down and looked at each other He looked happy.

"The main thing I've decided." Barney said. "is that we've got to

light our battles together." "Yes, darling.” Sally said husklly,

"About two dozen.“

“Put them in a box while I write a cardl"

Della took the box from tho boy and gave it to Sally. When she saw the name of the corner ﬂorist on the box she looked quickly at Borney but he hadn't the_ look o! a man a little pleased with himself who has just sent llovrers.

It was a large box. He said. with firmness. "I..et's see that box. He opened it. There was a profus- ion of purple orchids lying in green waxed paper. There seemed to be hundreds o! them.

Erie Lauren's voice said: "Hello darling!"

"No" Bally said, "this is not Gladstone three-four-nlne-two." and dropped the phone into its cradle.

Barney was watching her ex- pression. and his eycs were as busy as bees. "That was "arson."

"Oh. Barney, no. it wasn't" she cried.

"Why are you lying arzain?" “I'm not lying. darling."
