My Applications For Work Received

Ill the final half of Lust week. .;,,. number of seasonally unem- ;,1o,ed in Charlottetown increased -, slightly over five hundred. sc- ,.,,,-uing to figures compiled weekly at the Local Employment office. i,; the same date last year, the iigui-o was under the four hund- icd mark. '

There is always a large number 9, people out of work at this time J. year say Employment offioe .-ificials. but the total as of Decem- hnr 19th was higher than in any December in the post-war period. The Insurance Branch of the office ivas been working to capacity reg- ;cm-ing claims from both town ..mi country. and the rush is ex- wcvied tci continue into mid-J.1n- :,,.,y but to taper off somewhat :hv-i'caftel'.

Because it is Christmas and the ii-grscllt week will be shortened by the holiday the Employment of- ,;C.. will pay all city benefit claim- .i:l5 on Monday and Tuesday, it- ..-.pective of which daygof. the H-pi; they normally receive pey- ..-.oni. This will require an all-

.Il effort on the part. of the In- l'll'llllC9 branch. already heavily . M1 by the rush to file claims. it ,5 planned also to forwaiti benc- ':!s cheques to all rural claimants mini-e Christmas.

The Employment branch of tho .lIIiC(I is receiving! very few orders 1,. help, and when an order is ..- illcfi it is very quickly filled g...iii the large number of City ,..-..,.1.- who are idle. Many applica- Lnns for work are being i-I-Kan from :r.-idrnts of the country, but with so many workless folk in Charlotte- -,-wii. little hope is held of being min to find jobs for those living .'.l.Sli'lC lhc city.

Enjoyable iI.0.Ii.'s Christmas Party

one of the largest crowds ever to attend a Mess party at the Armouries was on hand yester- day afterncon when the Non-Com- niissioned Officers staged their annual Christmas affair for chil- dren of the members.

In addition to having the great- est number ever present for the party. the youngsters probably had the best time they ever 'en- joyed at it. Countless numbers of them were later heard to say that it was the best ever. There were well over 200 children present and every one of -them. received a specially named gift from Santa Claus who was present to see that none of them were over- looked. Just to be on the safe side the Mess had many extra gift-wrapped presents in case there were other little ones whose names had not been listed.

Mess president Sgt. Major H. L. Archer, presided over the en- joyable function and made sure that every child had a full supply of candles. nuts and creamsicles. lit the end of the long afternoon there were few little ones who were not completely stuffed with Christmas goodies and even fewer who were not.a wee bit on the sick side from overloading.

THE GUARDIAN.

Almost 400 Canadians met death on the streets or highways during December and January 9. year ago, the Hon. W. E. Darby, Q. C., Attorney-General, today stated, in announcing plans for Prince Ed- ward Island's "one for the road" safety campaign.

Many of these fatal accidents could have been avoided, Mr. Dar- by added. if drivers and pedestrians leaving holiday parties had made a strong cup of coffee their "one for the road."

Throughout Canada during the two holiday months there were more than 35,000 acidcnts. killing close to 400 people and seriously injuring almost 10,000 others. Pro- perty damage reported was well over 86,000,000.

Co-operation of holiday party- givcrs was asked by Mr. Darby to prevent a recurrence of these high- way tragedies this year. Every host and hostess, he said, should make sure their guests arc fit to drive before pormittlng them to get behind the wheels of their cars after festive affairs. "One way to make sllliit that the departing guest it fit to drive is to serve a nlghtcap of coffee before he lcavos." he said. "Tests have proven the steadying effects of coffee uh.-ii it is taken aftrr alcliol."

In the United States, Mr. D8!'by

continued, "one for the road" cam- paigns materially reduced. holiday accidents. In some major cities, public proclamations were issued suggesting that the "one for the road" be strong coffee. Ms.-iy hotels and night clubs advertised that at holiday functions stirrup cups of coffee for departing guests would be on the house. Many pri- vate hosts followed suit.

"'I'he post.-war increase in the number of office parties and asso- ciation cocktail parties," Mr. Dar- by pointod out "together with the great increase in the number of motor vehicles on our streets and highways, has created a tragic ac- cident problem. Anything that can be done to help reduce driving hazards is worth while attempting and it seems to in that coffee as the tone for the rond' is a practi- cal step in this direction."

One big advantage to the "one for the road” program, Mr. Darby concluded. is that most people on-
