JANUARY 2. 1948 i-n-m '" "M ' 1022b And ilarriet Q Program To Start Q ilero Tonight Advertising history will be writ- ten during 1049. it was announced here today by Mr. Taylor of the Taylor's Jewellers. "Starting in January." stated Mtr. Taylor, ‘fthe first week-day night-time network radio program of the silverware industry will be inaugurated when the International Silver Company's ‘The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet’ is broadcast over the Do- minion network at 10:30 p.m., On the air for only a com- paratively few seasons, the pro- gram steadily has grown in charm and humour until it is now in- deed "at the head of the class." Perhaps the clue to the success of oasis Nelson and his wife. Harriet Hilliard. lies in their knowing awareness that the life of a. pair of young parents can be hectic end amusing without inserting vaudeville gags. The jokes are al- lowed io flow freely and there is no ambition to make every inci- dent hilarious. The goal is the leisurely and natural laugh which is all the more amusing because it does not seem purposely con- trived. Responsibility for the execution of the script depends primarily on Mr. Nelson in the role oi the young father who has a. very human distaste for helping with the dishes. Miss Hilliard.‘ as his understanding partner. is the per- ‘fect complement. keeping the script moving in a forward direc- tion without ever seeming to do so. Henry Blair and Tommy Bernard portray the lively young- sters and John Brown turns in one of his consistently good character- ’ lzations as Thorny. the next door neighbour. * Mr. Taylor said that the decis- ion to change from Sunday ‘o Friday was made in view of the fact. that thousands more Can- adian listeners would be able to enjoy the program at the new - , time. Mr. Taylor also wished to sn- nounco that as s local dealer for .1847 Rogers Bros. and Infome- tlonsl Sterling. he has s special exhibit of these patterns on dis- play this week. _.___...____._ PAMPERED pnlcxs lome Canadian poultrymen use _~ incubators equipped with shock absorbers.

"Canada's comprehensive rehabilitation pro- IPll-‘II-W. coupled with the fine am- bitiom spirit of our veterans, has accomplished remarkable results since demobilization.” he said. Out of 11.000 enlisoments in this Province. there are only 313 veter- ans, or less than three per cent re- gistered for employment. This number, he said. is high. due to seasonal employment conditions in this pert of the country, which produce e higher ratio of unem- ploy-ment during the winter season. With the termination of several of the rehabilitation benefits at the end of the year, coupled with hhe fact that most veterans have now been out of the service too long to qualify for other benefits. the ad- ministration of rehabilitation bene- fits will greatly diminish during the conning year although the load on other branches will continue to be just as great. Treatmut lm-vices Treatment services, he said, will for along time be provided for large nimbers of veterans. and tiuring the past year 640 veterans were ad- mitted to treatment by the depart- ment. Practically all of these have been treated in hospitals in Prince Edward Island. More than 1400 veterans have received treatment since this province was established as a separate district in December. 1945. The pensions branch will see no reduction in the number of ex- amination; for some time and iihe War Veterans Allowance Board will experience a steady increase in the number of applications. which will not reach their peak until probably 10 to 15 years hence. Mr. Conrad pointed out that the department is now dealing with the veteenns of three wars and that there are still living s few who served in the Riel Rebellion. Be- cause of this, the problemi. of ob- taining employment for older vet- erans will be a continuing one. “ exit successful" was the label Business lie-establishment Mr. Conrad in his statement .drew attention to the fact that the greatest expenditure of re-estab- lishment credit in this district had been for business whereas in other districts across Canada the great- est amount was spent on home furniture. The amount of - credit used for establishment of business. purchase of tools and for working capital has totalled $514354- on has been estimated. said Mr. Con- rad. that about 33.300000 will be paid out in re-estsblishment cred- its in this province and of till! total $1,500,000 has been expended to date. . Veterans have used 8484.311 on the purchase of home furniture and a total of $38.47! on housing, re- pairs to homes and reduotlfifl °1 "ni6i‘t'g'agéi.""" ‘ ‘ ' ' " Awaiting Returns allowance has assisted 1532 veterans to establish fligmgglvg; in business and of this number lea than five per cent were terminated on the allowance be- cause they were unlikely I50 b9°°m° established.

Since the inception of the social service division of D.V.A. in this Province in July. i947. the depart- ment has received 51 applications for assistance. The limited niunber of social service agencies througlh- out the province for referral of soc- ial p. blems has in most cases placed the burden of follow-up on tlhe departmental organization. The social service section during the six month period conduct -' 189 interviews and 111 visits with clients and other organizations. War Veterans Allowance is now being paid to 344 veterans who ilhrough age or infirmity are per- manently unemployable. This sl- lowance is also paid to widows and orphans who are in necessitous cir- cumstances and at the years end 30 widows of veterans were on the rolls and four orphans.

For thirty-three years he has been a member of the Provincial Red Cross Society, and for thb past ten years its president. He has been president for over a quarter of a century of the Chil- dren's Aid Society, and for the past thirty-foul" years a director of the Children's Dispensary. This organization was also known as the City Anti-tuberculosis Associ- ation, which later developed into the P. B. I. Tuberculosis League. Dr. MacMillan has also been a membe of the City School Board for twenty-eight years, and of the Medical Council of Prince Edward Island for thirty-three years. ‘He. headed the staff of the Char- lottetown Hospital for eighteen years. and since 1942 has been an honorary councillor of the Can- adian Red Cross society. He be- came a fellow of the American College of Surgeons twenty-six years ago, and three years ago was honoured by being appointed a governor of this world-famed organization. ' Dr. MacMillan holds many other honored positions. I-Ie is e gov- ernor of St. Dunstan's University. and Master of the 4th Degree. Knights of Columbus, for Nova scotia and Prince Edward Island. In the latter organization he was formerly Vice supreme Master for Canada and Newfoundland. It. was under Dr. MacMillams regime as Minister ofl-lealth and Education that the new Prince of Wales College and Falconwood In- firmary were erectcd. For P. W. C. and St. Dunstanh University he obtained a $75,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation, which en- dowed e chair of economics and sociology. Another grant of $60.- 000 was used to establish a pro- vincial dsmonstrdion library. In his student days Dr. Mac- Millan won the Holmes Medal at McGiil University. the yearly award to the most talented mem- ber of the graduating class. After medical school he returned to Prince Edward island in 1008 and settled down to. practice medicine at Kinkora. .Two years later he moved to Charlottetown. At the end of four years he went to New York for a Dost-graduate course in X-ray work, and came back to the Island capital to re- sume,bis practice.

Although the main highways were blocked to motor traffic there was e let-up in the week-long snow fall and people in towns and vlllales gathered to exchange greetings. Everywhere an air of festivity reigned. In Charlottetown a Night Watch Service. held at the Salvation Army Citadel, was attended by the largest number of worship- pers in years. Largegcrowds of pleasure seek- ers thronged the various dance clubs or attended special dances held at the Charlottetown Hotel and at the Armouries where mem- bers of the Garrison Officers Mess were at home to friends. still others celebrated the arrival of i948 more quietly with relatives and friends at house parties or by attending a special midnight show at. the theatre. ‘The revelry at the Hotel fld Armnurles rose to a crescendo as the midnight hour approached and was climaxed at the stroke of twelve when celebrants bedecked in gaiiy coloured hats and equip- ped with horns and rattles. amidst a shower of paper streamers, drowned out the strains of "Auld Lang sync."

Buying for U.N.R.R.A. ceased in the United States last June 30. Contracts continue to be filled in the United Kingdom. Canada and Australia. Most of 1948 may be re‘- quired to complete them. U.N.R.R A/s greatest single program was undertaken for China, It called for $5l"i.500,000 plus 20 per cent for transportation and administrative ch rges. U.N.R.R.A.'s good works in China are expected to continue for at ledst another five years.

The Marshall Plan Promise of financial assistance from the United States under the Marshall plan heartened the gov- ernments of Western Europe and gave them hope that 1948 would mark the turning point in the bat- tle for economic recovery. From Eastern Europe. however. came bitter opposition to American efforts to hasten reconstruction. The Russian magazine New Times declared "the first round of the battle for Europe has in fact been lost by the American imperialists. They have aroused the wrath and hatred cf the masses of the people who do not wont to become slaves of the trans-Atlantic inv. Jere." Pravda and lzvestia, Moscow newspapers. hailed the New Year with declarations that "all roads lead to Communism." A new republic of Italy came into being with the new year. and faced the threat of new Commun- lsi-led strikes and disorders, as did France, Benelux, the new customs union of Belgium. The Netherlands and Luxembourg was Iiaunched as one step toward economic ire-operation in the battle for recovery.

Neither Dr. Retry nor other re- presentetlves of Labrador interests could say precisely when lub- stantlai demands would be made for Prince Edward island fresh food products.

Lawrence. river to the north-eastern part off Labrador with a rail and harbor‘ terminus of- the Atlantic coast.

After the new rail line is partially completed. a start on actual mining operations is ex- pected to be made by the Hollin- ger Mining Corporation which has acquired extensive acreage both on Labrador itself and on the Que- bec side of the Labrador-Quebec boundary. As mining towns and rail grow in the new area of ;he north-east. it is explained, demands for fresh meats and vegetables will increase by leaps and bounds. taxing the productive capacity of nearest av- ailable agricultural areas. There was a question in the mind of Ottawa experts as to whether Labrador markets would be fully open to fish in varied forsns and fish products from Prince Edward Island. There was a likelihood. they said. that Newfoundland. as owner of Labrador. would insist on spe- clel concessions being made to Newfoundland fish and fish pro- duets. World Picture Gloomy During Recovery Year n; PAT uesnsm (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Europe in 104'? became a gigantic chess board upon which the United States and Russia maneuvered for advantage in a. "cold war" of con- flicting ideologies. . eAgalnst. that cgrim background, the war-weakened countries of Europe struggled for economic recovery. hampered by internal violence and disorders which were markedly bitter in France and Italy. ‘These were the outseanding de- velopments of a year which saw Hungary swing into the Communist fold. independence granted to India- and promised to Burma, and adopt- ion the United Nations of a. plan to partition Palestine. in 1948. .'In March the Truman doctrine of economic support and military advice for Greece - only Balkan country not in the Russian orbit — and for Turkey was outlined by the United States president. Two months later Congress authorized expenditures of $400,000,000 for this purpose. This was followed by the Marshall plan for European economic recovery.
