Q119- l New System 0f Liquor Purchase Mr. Ernest Sullivan, City, has been appointed to the stall of the retail vendor store in Char- lottetown. The appointment was made necessary by the resignation of Mr. William McLean who today gems the technical staff of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation at-Sackville, N. B. Mr. Bennett Haywood. .chair- man of the Temperance Commis- (Ion, who made the announcement, also reported that new books for the legal purchase of liquor in the Province were first issued in the City on Friday and will be issued in summerside, Aiberton, Cardigan. and Sourls today. They are entire- ly different from the old ones ivhich were obtained on a certifi- ean- from a physician. 'i‘he new books areso arranged that. the purchaser of a bottle of wine ori s Monday may have that purchase marked on the book and will be able to purchase three more bottles of the same liquor that week. The same provisions are made in the new book for the purchase of‘ ale. ‘The purchaser may buy a case at any one time, biii. will then be able to purchase no more that week. On the other hand, hemay buy the ale in quan- tities of six or 12 bottles. He can ntske four six-bottle purchases in one week or two ll-bottie pur- chases. Asked how much ale is brought tn iheProvince by the Commission each, week. Mr. Haywood replied that seven carloads of 1.500 cases each arrived in October.

"The plan," Dr. Stanbury ex- plained, "is to supply all hospitals in Canada free of charge with whole blood and dried blood plu- ma and also sterile equipment for administering the blood t0 the patient. Three-Way Scheme "It is a three-way cooperative scheme. The Provincial Govern- ment provides the laboratory premises; the Canadian Red Cross Society provides the technical start and transportation and agrees to be completely respon- sible for the operation of the ser- vice; the hospitals for their part agree to administer blood or plasma at no cost to the patient. Each have entered into agreements to make no charge in his connection. "Each week a supply of blood cf associated blood groups is sent from Halifax to Dr. Shaw's lab- oratory ln Charlottetown. He will distribute the blood to the hos- pitals in Charlottetown and Sum- merslde as weii as to Aiberton. Montague and Soul-is, Now blood not used within a week will be returned to Halifax and processed into plasma, which keeps indef- initely at proper temperature, so that there will be no waste. "Several times a year a mobile unit consisting of a doctor and one or more trained nurses and ‘technicians (V.D.A.'s) will visit the Island and collect blood from voluntary donors who have en- rciiied in the recent campaign. This will be a contribution to the general pool which supplits the blood requirements of hospitals in the three Maritime Provinces. "There will be a similar ar- rsngcnent for the mobile team operating in New Brunswick. But the main centre where the pro- cessing will be done will be in Halifax. "In addition to supplying whole blood and plasma we also furnish to every doctor in the three Prov- inces a free blood test service for maternity cases to daFes-mine whether the prospective mother is R.H. positive or R.H. nalltive- This is to determine whether the child will be affected by the (‘I'l- ease known as severe jaundice of the new-born. This disease is due to incompaiabiiity between the Ell, blood types of husband and wile. In the vast msjoritiy of cases mothers are RH. negative. The importance of this investigation is that formerly these infants suf- fering from severe jaundice of the new-born very frequently died shortly after birth or, if they lived, developed paralysis or fee- ble inindedness. ‘ "By taking adequate prrcrw- tions the attending doctor ‘If i due warning and he can take ap- propriate stetps to safelillfd m! lives or mother and child.

Provincial Commissioner R. C.

' Field Commissioner Walter Le- Page who did much oi‘ the organ- ization work expressed thanks lo the‘ leaders for their co-operutlcn and said the result was very en- couraging to all engazed in fur- thering the cause of Scouting. Some 190 hampers of apples were sold in the city while another 30 were despatched to ru'_ai centres. That the public responded gener- ously wiis borne by the fact that over 3000 ten cent pieces and 1000 quarters were counted among the contributions. Taking part in the City "Apple Day" were some 240 Scouts and Cubs. The groups represented were: 1st Charlottetown (Basilica); 2nd. Charlottetown (St. Peter's); 3rd. Charlottetown (Kirk); 4th.

Dr. Shaw In Charge "Dr. Harold Shaw twill be in charge locally of the services, thus fitting the scheme into the gen- eral policy of the Provincial De- partment of Health. "Dr. Show will have two Red Cross technicians in his labora- tory, Miss Margaret McLennan and Miss Joyce McPhaii, both na- tives of this Province who had their initial training under him and spent the last few months taking special training in blood transfusion work- in the main de- pot. A third PrinceEdward Is- lander, Miss Fairlie Prowse, daughter of Mr. and Mrs T.W.L. Prowse, Charlottetown, ls on the staff in Halifax. "Quite apart from enrolling the donors which is the responsibility of‘ the Red Cross Society, the greater part of the expenditure in connection with this service is borne by the Red Cross. The So- ciety is budgeting over two mil- lion dollars next year for this free blood transfusion service in Can- ada. That will be part of the five million dollar appeal for funds which will g0 forward next March." Dr. Stanbury stated that the service has been in operation in British Columbia for over eight- een months, in Alberta for a year and a quarter and in Nova Scotla since early last September. Prince Edward Isl nd will be the next. up; Bru wick will follow, then Quebec P evince in December and tat-lo, in early February. In Manitoba buildings are under construction which it is hoped will be finished in early March.

' "There were representatives of 147 Christian communlons (rem 44 widely separated lands gather-ed gt Amsterdam. It was a wider con. ference than the United Natfons because it included representatives of former enemy countries. The Council met with each of the member Churches subscribing to the confession that "Jesus Christ was God and Saviour". On that there ivas no discussion whatever. On all other matters there was discussion, keen, animated, pm. ionged, but on the basis of mem- blelrship there was no discussion at a . The miracle of Amsterdam was that all representatives were in- deed gathered in an obvious and import-ant understanding cf faith and brotherhood. The world is in great need. In need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In need of the simple necessities of life. Europe ls one vast false facade. Our faith in a victorious Christ and an Almighty God ought not to be a fog of sentiment to blind us from the realities of a post-war world nor an excuse to escape in mystic contemplation. The Presbyterian Church in Can- ada is proud to be a constituent member of the World Council of Churches. Lift it up in your pray- ers to make the Council a force for righteousness and God. The Council is not the creation of a few Christian leaders who suddenly decided to organize the various churches in order to pre- sent a witness to the world gone mad with materialism and pagan- ism.

Anti - Confederate Forces In Nfld. Start Action To Stop Union W-ith Canada 81‘. JOHN'S, Nlld. Nov. l4 - (OP) - Anti-confederate forces today was-a attacking on two fronts in their battle to prevent the Old Colony from joining Canada as a 10th province. At st, John's, six former mem- bers of the old Newfoundland Par. liainent have taken out a Supreme vow-t writ against Governor Sir Gordon Macdonaid and other members of the Commission Gov- ernment, charging that the recent referendum on union with Canada was unconstitutional and illegal. Meanwhile. a delegation from the Newfoundland Responsible Government League arrived in London Saturday to protest the plan of immediate confederation at the bar of the House of Com- mons. The three-man delegation car- ried a suitcase full of petitions and will seek to have responsible gov. ernment formed in Newfoundland before negotiations for confedera- iwn are allowed to continue. The writs taken out here ask; 1. A declaratory judgment and an injunction to restrain the Commission Government from concluding union; ‘ 2. That the Commission Gov- ernment be restrained from asking the British Government to sanction confederation; 3. That the Commission Gov- ernment be forbidden to alter the Newfoundland constitution 1n any way but to restore re. sponsible sell-government. The arembie says the action is sought entirely on the ground; Lhag Plowidinss regarding the setting i-iP 0! the national convention and i the subsequent constitutional r g. erendum were unconstitutional and illegal.

The Queen Mother was expect- ed to be one of the first callers at the palace. Princess Margaret. Elizabeth's younger sister, who is spending the week-end out of town with the Earl and Countess of Scarborough, also was told at once. At 19120 Pm» an hour and six minutes after his son was born, Prince Philip came into the Palace courtyard. Crowd Cheers Prince Philip The huge crowd saw him and imew at once the child had been born. They cheered lustlly and sang “For He's A Jolly Good Follow." Sir William Giiliatt, 64-year-old leading British gynecologist, and Sir John Weir, 69, who has been physician to the King since 1937, delivered the Prince. The anaes- thetist was Dr. Vernon Hall. Fourth doctor present in the specially-prepared first-floor room where the birth took place was John Peel, an eminent obstetrician. The midwife was Miss Helen Rowe, a registered nurse. For the first time since James 2nd became lather of the “Old Pretender," there was no repre- sentative of the people “in the proximity" of the delivery room The King unexpectedly decided recently to dispense with the "archaic custom" of having the Home Secretary come to the palace to "witness" the royal birth. Before the birth, all of the rooms and corridors near the Princess‘ bedroom were cut off from the rest oi‘ the palace and placed “out of bounds" to anyone whose presence was not essential. Child of dynasty,'ibe royal in- fant born to Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip symbolizes the pride and faith of millions who pledge allegiance to the throne. The prince is second-in-line heir presumptive to the crown now worn by his grandfather, King George Vl. The royal birth signals a new generation. To Britons it. is a generation which like all the generations before it. holds to the past. yet moves steadily into the future. Selection of stolld, unpretentious Buckingham Palace for the baby's birthplace was in keeping with that symbolism. The only other royal heir born there made his arrival a century ago. That child was the eldest son of Queen Victoria, who lived to reign as Edward VII. His long and happy life is seen as a good aitgury for his latest descen- dant. . But Buckingham Palace will be only a temporary home for the baby. workmen are nearly through restoring bomb-damaged Clarence House. ‘This is the official resi- dence of Princess Elizabeth anti Prince Philip. It is only a short walk from the palace and near Marlborough House, occupied by the Princess‘ grandmother, Queen Mary. The new household expects to move in sometime this winter. Meanwhile, a temporary nur- sery has been set up at Bucking- ham Palace. Not elaborate. its most historic piece of furniture is a 100-year-oid baby bed, lsst useti by the late Duke of Kent, young- est brother of King George VI.

The royal family makes it a rule to accept presents only from personal friends or from people who. by their position, in tiie public life of this or of other countries, are entitled to felici- iate royalty. The family plans no public dis- play of these gifts such as was made o! the presents received by Princess Elizabeth at her wedding just a. year ago this month. The first big event in the Prince's life —- the christening — will be private It may take place at Sandringham, the King's favor- ite country home. If so. it is likely to be next month. The royal fam- iiy usually spends Christmas at Sandringhiim. Thus, the christen- ing could easily become the out- standing feature of the i948 holi- day season. Selection of a name for the child may not be announced ' until shortly before the chris- tening, As second-ln-llne to the throne the Prince may have a lot of names. Tradition and symbolism play a big part In this. On the other hand, each of the parents has short names, and each prefers simplicity. With the father it is just Philip. He didn't even have s. last name until less than two years ago when he became a. naturalized British subject and assumed the surname Mount-batten The ancient Danish royal family from which he descended never troubled to acquire a last name. The other is Elizabeth Aiexan-i dra Mary. But she has not expect- i t-d to become first-in-iine heiress to the Throne when she was born. Her uncle David. who reigned briefly as Edward VIII and then became the Duke of Windsor, was weighed down with seven Christ- ian names. That wiis because at birth he was the eldest son of the heir apparent. In selecting names royal children, symbols are favored. There are such as George for England. Andrew for Scotland, or David for Wales and Patrick for Ireland. Whatever is decided. Princess Tzabeth and Prince Philip "will have plenty of time in the next few weeks to talk it over. Prince Philip is now temporar- iiy at leisure. He holds it commis- sion as lieutenant in the Royal Navy and was on active duty un- til October. Tihen he was placed on half pay at his own request in order to be with his wife dur- ing the final weeks of har con- finement nnd for the first six months of next year. The Princess iill be a busy wom- an during that period. Not oriiv will she have the cars of her child out will also be deputisi for her father, who with Queen Eliza.- beth and Princess Margaret will leave England for a extended royal tour of Australia and New Iealsnd. for _ originating largely The King will appoint a. coun- cil of state, headed by Princess Elizabeth, to rule during his ab- sence. This will require her pres- ence at Buckingham Palace more than usual and will bring on many public appearances at which Prince Philip will accompany her. so for the next two months the couple will make the most of being lust human beings — the parents of their first baby.
