Fine Display Al Red Cross Cenlre

A most impressive display of beautifully made children's cloth- ing is to be seen at Provincial Red Cross Headquarters in Charlotte- town prior to its being packed in 181130 ' -cases to be for- warded oversess for the needy in the countries still suffering as the result of World War II. These garments are then distributed by the Red Cross in the countries in

Thousands of . children's r gar- ments of every type are piled around the walls of the large women's workroom at Red Cross headquarters. The Job of doing up

A blanket, several diapers, two vests, a sweater and bonnet. along with soap and baby powder com- plete the layette which is neatly packed in s terry cloth towel and fastened with half a down safety pins. The sweaters are all done up in bundles of five as are the dresses, panties, the overalls, socks, nlghties and pyjamas.

All of this work has been done since last October, when the sew- ing andiknittlng activities for the current year were begun. some was done by individuals and various independent women's organizations, but the bulk of it was done by the Women's Institutes of Prince Edward Island who deserve great credit.

The garments are cut out at Red Cross headquarters. then distri- buted across the Island. The Sum- merside Red Cross branch handles large quantities through its work- room in the Town Hall. Officials at d Cross House remarked par- ticu arly on the improvement in the quality of the work, since it was started during the last war. The completed, garments are re- turned to Iud Cross to be sorted out and packed for shipment.

Last year's P.E.I. contribution was sent to Turkey. at that time flooded with refugees. Where this year's work will be sent will not be determined until shipping' in- structions are received from the National Headquarters. Wherever it does go, many children will be made warmer and happier thanks to the nimble fingers of those who

have made such an amasingly largo consignment of garments possible.

Experimenting With Chemical VIeed.lil!e.rs

Officials of the Department of Public Works and rl-lighways are waiting to determine the effi- ciency of a chemical used as an experiment last year. to burn the weeds along the roadside. They believe that it was success- ful and that g only occasional patches which may have escaped the first spraying will need to be . -'one. . '

The chemical was demonstrated by a company from Woodstock. N.B., and approximately 2) miles of roadside was sprayed. Some of the work was in the vicinity of Tea Hill and some more on the St. Peter's Highwayw near Wright's Bridge. Whether or not more will be done this year is a matter- which is still under consideration by the Department.

The stuff used is known by the chemical formula of 24D and 2-4-5-'l'. but its component parts are unknown. here.

Patching Completed '

Italian Film A Depicts Life Of Salntzli Maiden.

The feature picture now being shown at the Capital Theatre is creating much interest and is strik- ingly dlfferenl: from films produced on this continent. Entitled '"'1'he Girl of the Marshes", it was film- ed in Italy and won six European awards including the grand prize at the loin Internatloned Exhib- ition of- cinema at Venice in 1919. It is provided with English subtit- lss and can be readily followed by English-speaking audiences.

The story is a tragic one. and is given with the stark realism of a news reel. but with exquisite feel- ing and sensitivity. A young Italian with her family. finds it necessary to resist the repeated advances of'an over-amorous farm boy. un- til one ocoaston and in the heat or his frustrated rage and passion he wounds her horribly with a knife. On her death bed she forgives him. and prays for his soul. It is. in fact the authentic story- of -the girl, Maria Goretti. who was later can- onlzed by Pope Puus XII and be- came "the Patroncss of Purity in Modern Youth."

Ines Oxaini. a young Italian act- ress of about it years of age. hit- herto unknown, glv a marvellous lnterpreatlon of the little girl. The picture is not intended primarily -for entertainment, but for the mar- al lesson it inculcates. The scenery is limited to the grim and watery wastes of the marshes of the Corin- sldo district of Italy and the .cost- mass are the ragged dress of the farmers of the distract. one is im- pressed by the vibrant life as well as the moral tone of, the picture It is also outstanding for the un- compromising sincerity both of the actors and the producers.

Three In Cells Afler Fight Oulslde lall

Wild excitement and a free for all fight across the street from the jail last night ended with one man requiring hospital treat- ment. another confined to bed in his home and three city youths placed in the jail pending their appearance in Police Court this morning.

'Mr. Bruce Pound. manager of the New Method Cleaners plant on Longworth Avenue, was driv- ing to the plant when a Ply- mouth coupe with four young men met him on Euston street and yelled at him to dim his lights. He did so and continued to the plant. Just after he arriv- ed he heard A crash and found the driver of the Plymouth had a partially turned and followed hm. The young man jumped out of the car and started to give Mr. Pound a beating.

A neighbour. Mr, Walter'Bur- hoe, heard the noise and immed- iately went to Mr. Pound's llIllI- ance. He too was attacked and his face badly battered. possibly from A kick. The two jallors across the street ran over to an- ter the fray and someone else.- called the City Police. in -the police patrol with Sgt. A. J. Dow- ling and Cast. Russell Downs was lt.C.M.P. Constable James Arvay.

ly the time they arrived the fight was in full progress. but the Police soon broke it up. Only one of "the four young man was ailovltd to go as there was no evidence that he had taken any part in the fracas. The other three were lodged in the Queen's County Jail overnight and .will appear in Police Court today..
