Irish News teller

By MICHAEL OMARA Canadian Press Staff Writer

DUBLIN, Dec. 12 -— (C?) - Sure, the news to all good these days.

For instance:

- Tourism '-

The Republic of Ireland ihas corin- pleted the most successful tourist season in history._

Estimated revenue, computed. by the Irish Tourist. Board, was £33,- 000000 ($102,300,000) - 23.000000 bcttcr than in 194B. Mitch of the income catne from dollar sources.

Here are three ways Irishtmen are wooing North American tour- ists:

1. By making a good irrrpresion with courteous treatment at the citstoms barriers.

2. Ry adapting food to tranc- Atlniitlc tastes.

3. By playing up lridh legends and drama festivals.

— Trade Balance -

Trade returns for 1949's first lliflf‘ mnnllis show a decrease in imports of £9,763,431 to {$94,194,332 muiprirod with the 194B figure.

Exports and rc-t-xnoris totalled P42115730, an increase of £9,998,- 402.

Adverse balance for the nine mnn‘l"l§ thus has been reduced to 552077573 from £1l.ll29,406 IOI’ the same period in 194B. It. Ll the most sitbstantial cut evcr fil- ed for a similar period.

— Livestock —

The ropiitblic soon will be pro- ducing 1,000,000 head of cattle a year, finally regaining pro-war figures after a long, hard pull. Roughly 100,000 more calves have already been reared this season than last.‘ ~

There has been l BO-pem-oent- plus reduction in cattle wastage through disease and calf slaulh- fer. The labter has virtually ceas- ed, thanks to improved beef prices.

Pigs now number M1000. In increase of 44 per cent over 1948.

Bacon now is being exported to Britain for the first time since 1942. Surplus over home needs Itiill 1s not great and therefore shipments are small but it is ex- pected they will become lub- stantlal by next year.

Dear Madam,

I have just been reading an ac- count fn your local newspaper of how Mrs. Agar of this village was welcomed and entertained by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Charlotte- town Branch of the Canadian Le- gion on the occasion of her recent visit to Canada. In a. further 1s- sue I see a photograph of Mrs. Agar standing beside the grave of her son, the late LAC. J.F. Agar.

I believe 1 am right. in supposing that: the organization 0f which you are President: is comparable to the Lei/dies Section of the British Legion in this country, but. how. ever that may he I should like to say how much the members of the Milford Ex-Servica Men's As- sociation appreciate the kindness which you all showed to Mrs. Agar. It. is a. long way from Eng- land to Canada. for even the Ylmngest of us and for Mrs. Agar it: must have been a very consid- erable and trying experiengg, p“. ticulariy having regard to the ob- ject of her visit. The kindness she received in those circumstances was all the more welcome, and having talked with Mrs. Agar about it I know how grateful she is for all that was done for her,

Improved Postal Service To llandle Christmas Rush

New accommodations in the City postal service together with the extra seasonal help in the C113’ Post Office will expedite the Christmas rush to a great extent this year.

Post Office officials are expect- lh! one of their heaviest Christ- mas mails. Mr, J, J, Connolly. stated that all indications point out it will bs as heavy if not heavier than usual,

First step toward the improve- ment 1n service ‘has been the re- lflvlflt of a space in the Arm- ouriea for the handling of mail slated for the Magdalen! This will provide added space in the Post: Offlco and facilitate other work.

Another move to save space will be tho letting up of a poa- fal cu- lt the C. N. R. depot for the examination and re-mailing of fllltoma mail. This car will be sat up tomorrow. In former years this mall had to be taken to the Post Office and then sent to its destinations.

To speed up parcel mailing aer- vice two wickets arc to be used for the weighing and mailing of parcels. Today a new wicket will be installed for the insurance of parcel post, New postage meter machines will also be Installed for; the plying of postage on par- ce s

The number of extra help allo- cated for the Post Office is 89. A number of these are being taken on each day lo that they may re ivs proper training. They are co prised of otter carriers, mail and postal cl ks. '

Two Brilliant Stars Blaze In West This Month

By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor)

NEW YORK. Dec. 12 — (AP) — Two of the mythical candidatu for the star of Bethlehem are making a simultaneous. dealing appearance in the western sky this month.

They are the planet: Jupiter and Venus, close together. A1. tronomers have studied the post- tions of both 1950 years ago to see whether they fitted the Biblical story. .,,,,

The verdict fl probably not, but this month's spectacle is‘ probably as brilliant as the Bethlehem Star.

look to the west, soon after sunset. There are two big, white stars, one almost as big as an auto headlight far away. The big- ger is Venus. She is zli-tlmes brighter than Jupiter. This means she is just about. the greatest brightness that any planet, or any star. can have.

Venus is so brilliant that. the day after Christmas sharp eyw may see her in the daytime. The moon will be three days old then. If you see the faint outline of the moon. then move your glance straight up the sky for a short. distance.
