Christmas Party At Notre Dame I E The Christmas spirit was very much in evidence around Notre Dame Academy on Satuudgy afternoon when the students entertained about seventy-five children from St. Vincent's Orph- llllle at their annual Chr' t Party. The entertainment was pro- Vided by the pupils of the junior classes who. as on former occaa. ions. dlitpllyed a wealth of mus- ical and dramatic talent as they presented the two big features of their Christmas concert. "Frosty. The Snowman" and "The Crib At Grecoio." After the concert, Santa Claus with his heavily laden sack ap- peared and distributed the at- tractlvely wmpped Christmas gifts among the children. A delicious lunch was then served. after which each child was treated to an ample supply of fruit and candy. Thia party is a yearly activity of the High School Sodality. The Apos- tolic Committee is. for the most part. responsible for the organ- iwtion of the prodect. All were. however. well rewarded for their efforts when they saw the joy in the eyes of the children as they left with their presents. We are especially grateful to those who so generously ciftfercd cars for conveying the children to Notre Dame and home again. IN MEI-LORIAM DEW. FRANCIS BRADLEY sale. The parishioners of Kelly's Cross in general and her neighbours in particular were filled with sorrow to hear on the morning of Novem- ber 19th of the death of Mrs. Francis Bradley of south Melville. Although Mrs. Bradley had been in failing health for some time her family and friends entertained great hope for her recovery almost to t.he last; however this was not to be: and although her friends re- jot'ced to see her improved in health when she returned from the Hospital. she later suffered a re- lapse and gradually weakened: fortified by the last rites of Holy Mother Church she passed peace- fully away on the above mention- ed date in her seventy-first year. The late Mrs. Bradley was pos- sessed of -a very friendly and cheerful disposition, she conse- quently made friends easily. She was thoughtful and kind and never missed an opportunity to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She was a firm believer in the golden rule: "Do onto others as you would have them do to you." But. possibly her finest qualities and traits of character were brought out in her duties and relations to her home and family. She was a great home-lover and her first in- terests were always for her hus- band and family. The untimely death of her second son. Cecil some three years ago caused her much sorrow. Besides her sorrowing husband are left to mourn their loss one daughter Mary, (Mrs. John Cus- ack) nmyvsle . and nve sons: Jos- eph in Bolton, Mass: Charlie in Woodstock. New Brunswick; Wil- fred at home in South Melvlle; Maurice and Edwin. Kelly's Cross. one daughter.

As a result. he had to modify "certtin views" he had held as to the nature of death. but. in the main he still eluded that mass- ive haamorrhaging in the brain was hurried by the application of force to the outer parts of the head. This force, he told Crown Attor- ney Raoul Merciar. may have been a "solid object" applied to the head repeatedly and from various angles. It could have been anything, a clos- ed flat, a kick or a bottle. F ' ca Counsel R-oydon Hughes sought to ascertain from Dr. Klotz whether a man suffering from an- gioma might not experience dizzy spells. causing him to stagger and to strike his head against solid ob- jects in a room. Dr. Klotz said his knowledge of the disease was that it would cause a. man to stagger. to lose balance and co-ordination of automatic ac- tions. But he did not believe that had this staggering occurred, that the injuries he had observed would have resulted. Both Dr. Harry Dover. coroner. and Dr. G. Lorne Gardner, hotel physician. said they were unaware that Mr. Sullivan had suffered from angioma at the time they examin- ed the body on the morning of Nov. 18 OTTAWA. Dec. 17 -(CF)-Key crown exhibits-a soda bottle. ash- tray and tumbler-all shattered- have been brought into the pre- liminary hearing of Mrs. Marlon Sullivan of Toronto. charged with the murder of her lawyer husband. Parts of the broken glassware were discovered in the Chateau Laurier room where Francis J. Sullivan was found dead Nov. 18, allegedly from blows about the head. other parts, the crown al- leges. were found wrapped in Mrs. Sullivan's luggage. Introduction ot'the glassware. reconstructed by use of glue and tape. was a highlight of the pro- ceedings Saturday. as the Crown continued to unfold its case. The hearing was adjourned until Mon- day. at 2:30 p. m. Already more than an witnesses have been heard and more than 40 exhibits filed since the hearing began Thursday. The 50-year-old matron was ar- rested while drivlng to Toronto, about 12 hours after her husband's body was found in the hotcl-room they shared on an Ottawa visit. Throughout the hearing. Mrs. Sullivan has remained composed. Once or twice. especially when the reconstructed glass items were introduced sat-urday; she appeared nervous. biting her lips. crossing and uncrossing her legs. pressing her black-gloved hands together. Detective James Kettles intro- duced the glass evidence. The bottle. pine size. was labell- ed "Canada Dry Sparkling Wat- er." The lower parts of the bottle were intact. The shattering had taken place at the neck. one piece of the bottle neck had been found on the hotel-room carpet. another on a. tray in the room. Police said the main lower port- ion and a half-dozen other parts were found in brown paper in lvitrs. Sulliva.n's travelling bag. searched by police when she was arrested. Another piece was found wrapped in paper in her purse. Detective Kettles said parts of the glass. forming the ash-tray. were found on the hotel bathroom floor, others in brown paper in Mrs. Sullivan's black travelling bag. and one piece wrapped in newspaper in her bag and another in her make-up kit. The tumbler had been broken into three pieces and all of these were found in her travelling bag. wrapped in newspaper. liAlIAL GIIIIS Continued from page 1 territory eerily lit by navy star shells and swept by heavy fire.

Plea- sant Ainport to inspect the large double hangar there. which is now the property of the Provincial Government. One of the party. after their return from the big war-time airfield. revealed the idea behind the inspection. The exhibition fo1k,it seams. are consid- ering the erection of a new Fair building. and the hangar at Mt. Pleasant or half of it. might fit the bill very well. There will be no immediate action to go ahead with such a construction job. the director explained. not this com- ing summer at any rate. Eventual- ly he implied a large Fair building would arise north of the present main grandstand. which could be used as a Winter Fair arena and a headquarters. Developing this line of thought a ltttle the director made the in- teresting statement that 607a ed the livestock entries at the annual Maritime Winter Fair at Amherst were from this Province. This fact alone was enough to encour- age lsland breeders and the Pro- vincial Government as well as the general public. that a. big autumn show here would get off to a fly- ing start. Obviously the idea is being considered. 0 O 0 If this was an election year in civic politics. the meter question might play quite a part in it. Certainly it may have some bear- ing on the outcome of the contest a year hence. when a new mayor and council will be installed. By that time the public should be able to decide whether the meters are as efficient as some would have us believe. or the "trade clhasers" their opponents call them. Meantime they serve a good pur- pose as Christmas tree stands. 0 I I Construction comapanies. thanks to the very favorable weather. have delayed the seasonal lay-off of workers several weeks beyond the usual date. But it was in- evitable that working staffs would be reduced sooner or later. and last week. the Canada Dock and Dredge Com-pany. whose contract. for extending the Charlottetown Railway Wharf is nearing com- pletion, laid off practically all the crew on that job. M. F. Schurman Co.. largest con- struction organlzation in the Prov- ince. with such jobs as the Island Fertilizer Co. plant. the large Pro- vincial Government Garage and the gymnasium at Saint Dunstan: College underway. also made staff cuts. it has been a great year for the construction trades. U C Curling serves about the same purpose in winter as golf does in -the summer. It provides the busi- ness men. and our future business men, who because of age or the demands of their work are denied participation in more strenuous sports. with relaxation and the ilhrili of friendly competition; Its comparison with golf may be said to be even more applicable so far as Charlottetown is concerned now that A woman's branch has been organized by the local club. Curling is one game where friendliness and sportsmanship are hallmarks not yet blurred by com- mercialism and the win-at-all-costs -Philosophy. The Charlottetown Club is well launched on another successful season. 0 C When the Canadian Citizenship Council gave a Otiristmas party for new Canadians in the Clover Club room of the Canadian Legion in Charlottetown about 125 Dutch. Polish. Yugoslav men. women and children attended. Swenty-five per cent of the new Canadians were Hollander: and the number of Dutch people settling in the Province has been slowly rising in the past year. The D. P. population. on the other hand is declining. and of the more than two hundred Central Europeans who came here in the past three years. only about thirty remain. No further immigration from D.P. cam.ps is expected. but more Dutch people will come our way in the spring. A number of Island farmers have applied to the Canadian Im- migration Department for Dutch farm help. The applicants have been informed that their needs will be met in the spring. It seems that the careful Dutch observe the custom of holding a family conference each year. around Cohristrnas time with the whole clan present. At this meet- ing decisions are made affecting the general welfare. Grandparents. uncles. aunts. parents all have their say before decisions are approved. It's something of a family parlia- ment. 1:! some member of the -family is given approval to move to Canada. the actual departure does not take place until spring. since winter is not the most suit- able time to begin a new life in this country. . . . When the Sydney Millionaires visited here last week. some of the players expressed the wish to play for Charlottetown next year. It is a bit flottoring to City pride that these players atiould make such overtures. implying thereby that Charlottetown is a friendly town. and well-advertised by our present. .team as a good place in which to reside. It is always pleasing to feel that we are citiaena of no mean city. pared with H.480 care for the previous week, but were higher than the 75.280 earrfor the corn- spending week a year ago. The Bureau of Statistics report- ed today that increases over the similar week last year were regis- tered in loadings of grain products. coal. ore. puipwood. lumber. wood- pulp and paper and gasoline. De- clines were shown in loadings of grain and liveuock. As noted previously, thedicaelts- ing of the Island division of the Canadian National Railways has necessitated many changes in the housing requirements at. the lo- cal C. N. R. plant. Further da- velopments in. this work are re- viewed below. The machine shop, which up to this time had been used for re- D8liT.I of steam locomotives. has now been so fitted that probably all diesels. should it be necessary. could be housed at one time. The blacksmith shop. which was par- titioned off. has now been con- verted as part of the shop and three tracks. each nearly 300 feet long with concrete pita the whole length of each track. have been laid from one end of the shops to the other. Each track will take at least six of the new diesels with room for the two smaller: ones. one on each track. Most of the heavy machinery used in repairs to steam locomo- tives haa been removed and re- placed with machinery necessary for diesel repairs. A concrete floor has been laid the full length of the shops. Engines com- ing ln from the road are now taken in at the east, doors. and when ready for the road leave by the west doors. Tracks leading from each track in the shop now extend to the east. side of Prince Street and switches set at the outer end of each track all lead to the former round house track. thence to the main yard. If ne- cessary to have an engine re- turned. the turn-table has been left in its original position for this purpose. To make room for the new tracks at the east end of the shops. one-half of the round house was taken down. The bal- ance will likely be removed next summer. All machinery in both shops is now electrified. The blacksmith shop. which is now situated on the south side of the shops. is likely to be moved shortly to the power house. Powerflouse Changes In the power house. where there were formerly three large steam boilers. one has been re- moved and the remaining two. converted to oil a couple of years ago. are now used for the central heating system. supplying heat to shops. station and dc- icing plant and such other uses as may be required. The long low coal shed former- ly at the east. end of the power house has been taken down and a building for storing sand built in its place. There has also been erected a brick drying room where sand is dried and forced by compressed air to a stand pipe from which -sand is fed to the diesels by gravity on tracks leading into the shops.
