The new year was literally danced in by hundreds of young and old; the Charlottetown was never s0 crowded as it was on the present occasion, and the same may be said of every ot-her celebration. w w w Undoubtedly this New Year entered aus- piciously. With all the assured hope and pros- pect of prosperity, we have reason to be thank- ful that we are spared to lend a hand in the up- building of the new era. - ‘w w w w , Where would we have been now had we not the Hotel Charlottetown? It has become the centre of business and social activities, and, thanks to the admirable management of Mr. and Mrs. Mould, the prime attraction for vis- itors from elsewhere. III ll i i! General Iames \\'0lfe, British soldier, born this date 1727- distinguished himself in Fland- ers, in the rising of the “Fortv-five", and in his brilliant victory and noble death on the Heights of Abraham ‘at the ‘taking of Quebec. During the- war years approximately 38.000 Canadians died on the field of battle and an- other 36,000 of tuberculosis. The enemy abroad is beaten, but the enemy at home is ‘still taking its toll. Tuberculosis is not inherited. It i's a communicable disease, passed from one person to another. Mass surveys help to find these danger spots in the; cokmnluniiy. The Allies “swing back" began in earnest this date i942: at Washington, Britain, United States, Russia China, the Netherlands and 21' other States signed a pact pledging each to employ all its resources against the Axis; Chin- ese troops moved into Burma; South Africans entered Bard-a, capturing about 7,000 prison- ers and releasing over 1,000 British war [)i'l.S-- oners; Soviet troops re-occupied Maloyaro-slav- ets, key town to Moscow.’ w w w w British Royal Photographic SOCXCI)’; a collec- tiurt of photographs, consisting of 31- “Sterio- Micrograms" belonging to Lieut. Colonel W. R. Mansfield, aroused special interest. The Micro’ grams were reproductions of commercial books, documents, testaments. deeds, etc., in which erasions, forgery or illegal tnodifications made would not have been detectable by the naked eye or by ordinary photographs In the opin- ion of ‘experts, the “Sterio-Micrograms" are a progressive step in ciininology, which will facil- itate the uumasking ‘pf ‘forged documents. A meeting of wholesale grocers scheduled for early in the New Year will discuss the trend in their industry involving a change over from the established custom of concentrating opera- tions on “dry groceries" to a stock diversifica- tion programme which will bring this form of food distribution more in line with the times. With the development of “complete food stores” at the retail level, says a report, the im- portance of dry grocery sales by the average‘ progressive retailer has dropped to about 25 per cent of his over-all volume. While chains and super-markets have gone along with this change in the operation of their warehouse div- isions, the wholesale grocery' trade, ivith few exceptions, has stood pat. I ll 1 l? Of course, there are critics of the honours list, there has always been and always will be. Pull and push has considerable to do with having ones name included. Many are deservedly hon- uurcd, and perhaps would, if consulted, beg t0 be left out, while others covet the distinctions without deserving them and pull the strings to have their names included. But the latter are neither hon- oured nor honourable, mere charlatans palming themselves uffaas the genuine article. The most deserving laid down their lives for the wrong that needed resistance and the cause that needed assistance; while the honour list- may include others who profitted illegitimately by their sacrifice. It is nothing new, and the hope is the “inevitability of gradualness" will one day in the new era bring about a changrfor the better. l I l i ‘ Word has been received that ‘he Fedora government is making available through the provincial health departments an estimated 30,- 000 bottles of surplus blood plasma for civilian hospitals.
