~ sidered that

l The taking of "immediate steps to alleviate the present unfortun- iate conditions through the estab- lisnixig in Prince Edward Island of the necessary accommodation and medical treatment for veterans" has been urged upoin Hon. Ian MacKenzie. Mmisier of Veterans Affairs, in g. resolution approved by the Liieuicnant-Govemor in Council and forwarded to Ottawa. over the Weekend.

Action to this effect was taken followring lengthy negotiations with Hon. Mr. MacKenzies department which have proved unsatisfactory from the provincial standpoint.

In its resolution, the Elxecutive Council emphasized by way of pre- ambie that "no preparation has u-p to the present been made. and no adequate facilities exist in this Province for the hospitalization and surgical treatment of men and women from Prince Edward Island in the armed forces and now re- turned. or returning from service overseas."

Expense and Suffering

It states that "under existing arrangements personnel requiring medical attention are eitlher obliged to remain in Halifax. or elsewhere, or to retum to points outside the. Province for necessary treatment", and that the. -present wnditkms Uentall additional expense in all ‘concerned, as well as great. 1M0!!- |venlenc_e and suffering in many individual cases."

Prior to approving the resolution. the Executive Council was waited upon by s. largo delegation repre- senting the Cartadiarisllegion and ithe Prince Edward and. Clut-

lottetown and Prince County Hos. ipitals, urging further action in ifhis matter. A slmilar delegation had previously waited upon Hon- Mi‘- MacKenzle, but without any definite

lac question of servéce men's hospitalization was discussed in the Ivcgislatur» last lifnrch. when the Premier intimated that he hoped satisfactory arrangements would be made with the federal authorities.

Jury Reports 0n Gallant Fatality

A coroner's Jury 135i 018m found that Huber-t Gallant. Rich- mond Street, Charlottetown, died at the P.E.I. Hospital, August 17. 1945, as a result of pulmonary congestion and hemorrhage. The verdict added that acute alcohol- ism was likely a precipitating fac-

tor.

Dr. I. J. Yeo was the coroner. G. R. Holmes represented the Crown.

A report by Dr. Ralph P. Smith, provincial pathologist for Nova Scotfa, was read by Dr. Yeo fol- lowing which the jury retired to find a verdict without the calling of witnesses.

Dr. Smith's report read: "From the organs sent for examination, it is my opinion that the late Hu- bert Gallant came to his death as a result of pulmonary congestion and hemorrhage with an associat- ed fatty degeneration of the liver.‘ Acute alcoholism may have been the precipitating factor. No methyl radical was found to indicate methyl alcohol poisoning. The ap- pearance of the liver was in keep- ing with that of a chronic al- coholic."

The jury comprised Aben Mac- Lean (foreman), Lloyd Moore, Ray Steele, John Webster, N. W.‘ Reardon. John Martin and Roland, Diamond. I

Cigaret, Peaeetime Problem In Britain»

BY JAMES McCOOK

LONDON, Sept. 4 — (CP Cable) - The cizaret of peace now is the emblem of discord as drastic action by the Government and the armed services is probable to halt the vast duty-free shipments of cigarets to the continent where they are worth at least 60 cents each.

Men on leave g0 to tobncconisfs dressed in civilian clothes and order thousands of cigarets sent to them. selves or their comrades on the continent and then pick them. up When they rejoin their units.

United Kingdom civilians who are unable to obtain smokes say not only is the Crown losing duty rcv. enuc but it is an unfair drain on home supplies. Manufacturers just cannot keep pace with the demand. No cigaret machinery has been made for several years and labor is still limited. A new anxiety is that

I PARIS, Sept. 4--(AP) —- In a; magnificently varied collection rlchl in color. workmanship and artful attention to line, Lucien Lelongi officially opened the Paris fashion showings today with pre-war gilt-i r

te .

Thfsflrst ‘important show among 60 that will continue through Sept. 28 included more than 50 models which circumvented material short- ages so ingeniously that spectators expressed confidence in Paris’ con- tinued style supremacy.

Lclong definitely has switched emphasis from the back-high int. of the s ring collection to the ront, with a1 dresses _and suits spot- lighting wasp waists above draped or shirretl hips and with front full- ness sometimes carried to extremes by huge pockets and peplums.

He likes pencil-slim suit skirts without pleats, with jackets worn well below the hips and flaring from a nipped-in waist.

As n contrnst_ Lelong has gone in extensively for wide flarinf; skirts on wool dresses, although each of his superb black afternoon frocks clings close to the body lines.

Lclong has put touches of silver fox and mink nt the throats of dresses. at the pockets and at the ends of sashes on street and house ensembles.

lihe cessation of lend-lease may mean further reduction in tobacco supplies. ,-
