There were furs from Norway. SIWCdCD, Iceland. the United States and Canada, studied for colour, shade, fur and durability, and so smartly modelled by the Charlotte- town ladies that their charm an graceful loveliness was ful.y dem- onstrated. The setting for the showing was most artistically arranged with a background of flowers, and as each model appeared a description was very aptly given by Mrs. J. A. llaslam.

During the ‘war there was frict- ion between British, Canadian and American occupation troops and the Icelanders, and the cause of this difficulty has often been mie- undel-stood. _ ' Mr. Metusalensson explained that when Iceland was suddenly occupied by Allied forces the Ice- landers “were caught. by surprise." At. first the! impression among the Friendship Stressed By Iceland Visitor Ties or - . occupation forces was that the native population was unfriendly. However, as the war progressed and the two groups got to know one another better. the early mis- understandings passed sway, and were replaced by feelings of gen- uine and lasting friendship. As a result of the major influx of new ideas, techniques and tools which the occupation forces brought with them, a considerable change has been brought about in the Icelandic culture. For these technical and social benefits, Mr. Mctusalensson concluded, the people of his country are indeed grateful to their fellow demo- cracies of the West. . By The Canadian Il— “No Strike". Canadians relaxed today (Thurs- day) following that announcamen. yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon in Ottawa after a tense week in which the Dominion was faced with tlhe grave threat of a country- wide rail strike. The strike of 150,000 railway workers for higher pay would have interfered severely with tha life and business of the Dominion from coast to coast. The strike was scheduled tostart at 6 a.m. today but Labor Minister Mitchell announced only 15 hours before deadline that a. settlement had been reached giving railway workers a compromise wage-in- crease of i7 cents an hour. That was 11 cents under union demands and seven cents over the railways’ latest offer. cumbersome machinery set up to cope with a national emergency swiftly was dismantled. ° Lacking an extensive system of highways, Canada would have been hit hard had the strike of 150.000 railway workers got under way. What would have happened had the strike gone through ' Southern Ontario and Quebec. ft seemed clear, would have suffered but. not too severely, Those Prov- inces, possessing good roads linking ch other and running to the Unlterl Stotes, could have brought in by truck scene food and other supplies. The southern areas of the other Provinces also could have been served similarly, after a fash- ion. It was the sparsely-settled coun- try outside a 100-mlle strip north of the international border that would have been i1 hardest. There, most communities are de- pendent upon rail for the neces- sities ofcllfe. Farmers would have been unable to market their per- ishable products; the loss in milk alone would have been incalcul- able. . MR.
