The American Government has spent billions of dollars building a defensive wall to contain Coni- munism. In Europe. Asia. in the Near and Far East. and on this continent the United States has financed gigantic defence projects. Even in this small Province the huge American expenditure has had its effect. by way of the great new air-base in Labrador. For the past four or five years many Islanders have participated in the construction of this mam- moth undertaking. sometimes as many as two hundred in a single

summer. It has been estimated roughly that workers from the Province have drawn well over

8.500.000 in wages from this source. This is a mere drop in the bucket

compared to the total amount spent. approximately ael semi-ob ficialiy at Si.-10,000,000.

Even this year with the job tapering off. and the working

force reduced to about 1500 from a high of two years ago of 4000. about 511000.000 will have been spent. lint-lc Sam has a deep poc- ket and the old man with the chin whisker its no miser.

Aged French farmer Convicted Of

Murdering Englishman And Family

(In Pierre Lagroe)

DIGNE, Francs (AP)-A seven- man French Jury has convicted Gaston Dominici, 77-year-old hill country farmer, of murdering three members of n titled British family Aug. 5. 1952. It sentenced him to died on the guillotine.

Sir Jack Drummond. 61. British wartime goods expert; his wife, Lady Ann Drummond; and their 11-year-old daughter Elizabeth. were slain as they camped near the Dominici farm in the south- eastern French Alpine, foothills. The prosecution said the parents were shot to death around mid- night with an American-made car- bine. and the little girl was blud- geoned with the butt of the same weapon about three hours later.

The gnarled, whiskered old farmer showed no emotion. Dom- inici had admitted the crimes to police after two of his sons ac- cused him and after he had been

grilled for as boiire. Later he re- tmcted the confession and main- tained hia innocence throughout the 11-day trial. GBABBED BY POLICE

Before the trial. the authorities ook Dominici to the scene for re- enactment of the, crime. He tried to throw himself over a railroad bridge. but police grabbed him.

As he faced the court Sunday, Dominici had on the same blue suit, blue shirt and blue tie he

wore throughout the trial. His wife, Yvette. Dominici. 75. IE! quietly. Only one of his nine

children, Clovis. was in the court- room. Clovis had accused his la- ther of the killings. Gustave, the other son who had accused his father, later retracted the accus- stion.

No date was set for the execu- tion. This is done by the ministry of justice in Paris. ,

caies Subsidies

For Railways To Improve Conditions

CALGARY (CF) - Frank Hall. chairman of Canada's non-operai.- ing railway unions” policy-making body. Saturday advocated rail sub- sidies "to bring working conditions of railway employees in line with those in other Canadian industries.

Mr. Hall. who heads the unions" 100-man general conference. was chairman of the negotiating com- mittee which dealt with the rail- ways in talks leading up to ar- bitration by Chief Justice Gordon Sloan of British Columbia.

Mr. Hall's statement was his first to the press since Chief Jus- tice Sloan handed down his rec- ommendations last Monday in the contract dispute between four rail-

in: farther up lhc river at the popular tingle-r's resort, Milton. At the momcnl it. apparently is hav- ing no ill cffef-is wliatcver.

He announced that 40.000 operat- ing employees would be repres- ented at a general rail union pol icy committee meeting planned fni Jan. 5 to combat delay in coming to scttlcmcnts." FIVI-I PAID HOLIDAYS

Although not empowered to rec- ommend on the point. he said he felt bound to express the opinion that the national economy should absorb part of the burden now car- tried entirely by the railroads in lshipping Canadian wheat at low rates fixed at th turn of the cen- tury.

”The chief justice's report sup- ports the position we took in the beginning.” said Mr. Hall, "which is that both wages and working conditions of our people are sub- standard in comparison with other industries.

iChief Ju s tice Sloan recom- mended the railroads be subsidized to make up for the losses they in- cur as a result of the Crow's Nest Pass grain agreement. The fixed low rates led to a loss in 1952 of 351000.000.)

The weather is no respccter oli people, events. or things in gen- eral. ll. condemns thoiisantls oli Canadians to idleness during ihci winter months and no one has' come up with a solution for sea-

sonal unemployment as yet. But not only men are affected; hun-l dreds of cars are likewise un-1

employed while winter reigns. not to speak of hundreds of coast-wise ships and small boats. The Island is affected by this close-down of

shipping, but so also is the mighty St Lawrence River. and those great. highways of com- merce. the Great Lakes. Incidentally Charlottetown has less unemployment as this No-

vember draws to a close than it had a year ago. according to fig- ures kept. month to month. by the, Charlottetown National Em- ployment Office.

Perhaps because its are the current leaders of the Maritimt-5' most. pretentious hoc- key loop there is renewe,dinterest in the game in Charlottetown. There have been no overcrowd- ing of the local Forum but game attendance has been more encour- aging recently. Counter-attractions such as curling. bowling and bridge parties compete with hoc- key these days, not to speak of the ever popular movies. But it is a grand game and something will have gone from the, Canadian scene, if the day ever comes. when the full-throated roar, which follows a score by the home team. is heard no more in the land.

To Mr. Aubrey Brown

Mr. Aubrey Brown. who retired on Nov. lsl from the position of stamp vendor which he held for

54 years in the Charlottetown Post. Office, was tendered a re.- ception and social hour by his fellow workers yesterday after- noon, in the Whelan Memorial Hall. H. R. Veeeey acted as chairman.

The get-together was highlight- ed by a presentation which Past- master, Capt. J. J. Connolly. made

to Mr. Brown on behalf of the various branches of the service. Speaking briefly. Captain Con-

nolly touched on the many quail- ties of heart and mind which characterized Mr. Brown and em- inently fitted him for the posi- tion he held. "His unfailing courtesy to all, from the young- est child to the most ...omlnent business man. from aged ladies to the tourists with whom he had dealings in the summer season. marked him as a gentleman." Captain Cnnnnily said.

"We staff members are fully aware, of the courtesy and affabil- ity which dominated his life with us. and many others who have passer! through the office in an official capacity. I think it is most fitting, and aside from the fact that he has accepted retire- ment. a great pleasure. to present this little token of our esteem, in the hope that we will. with other citiuns. enjoy his friendship for many years in come."

Fire Damage At Souiiipori Checked

A City tire punipcr under coni-

'peripie rate the sea higiiway for m.ind Oi Dtputy Chief J. S. Walker

at 10:30 Saturday night sped to Southport in response to a fire which threatened to destroy the modern frame dwelling of Mr. and Mrs. Edison Nelson.

The Nelson iamiiy was in Char- lottetown at-the time of the out- break which was discovered by Mr. Edward Macltall who llvcs across the road. Neighbors were quickly alerted and did all they could to prevent the spread of the fire until the arrival of the bumper. The damage was confined to the base- ment and the first floor and II. is reported that for the quick response of City Firemen the dwelling and its contents would have been a complete loss.

On arrival of the City Depart- ment a hose was run from an artificial lake on the property of Mr. MacPhall and this supply prov- ed adequate to save the dwelling from destruction and to prevent damage to an adjoining barn.

The Nelson family cons! ting of the mother. father and thr. ' child- ren were taken into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Reardon. Dam- age to the dwelling alone is estim- ated to be in the vicinity of 32.000. Until extensive repairs are made the house will be uninhabitable.
