GARRY FlGllT Continued from Phge 1 whet was a satisfactory majority. Commission Government, it. said, had been totally repudiated in the first referendum and had "sub- seguentiy prejudiced its position as impartial arbiter through the intervention by two of its mem- bers as spokesmen for the confed- eration cause.” Consummation of the confederat- ion before the negotiation of terms or understanding of financ- ial and economic impact on New- foundland people and industry, the League said, “is neither sound nor just and creates a. source of bitter controversy in the future." The independent Evening Tele- gram said editorially that the out- standing fact was that though the electors had been twice afforded the opportunity, they‘ showed that. they did not favor responsible government. The newspaper added: "It (the Telegram) seesno purpose in re- criminatic/n and the keeping of old sores open. The outcome rep- resents the will of a majority of the people. To disregard the ex- pressed wish of 77.295 would be to invite trouble. Acceptance of the verdict will avoid dissention and division." On the other hand the pro- responsible government Daily News said "it would probably be a wise gesture on the part of the Canad- ian Government to prefer that a decision to enter union should ccvne from a parliamnentary major- ity in this island. since that would dispose of the important argument that terms negotiated after com- mdt-nent can never be satisfact- ory."

The for- mal opening was held on Friday evening at seven o'clock when Benediction of the Blessed Sac- rament was given in the lovely chapel of the Academy, by Rev- erend Paul Fisher, C.SS.R., who conducted the retreati- Following benediction, Father Fisher spoke to the retreatante on the value of the retreat, as a means to personal sanctification. In withdrawing from the interests and cares of everyday life, in peaceful thinking, helped by prayer would be found the most efficacious means to this end. During the period of retreat, three conferences were given-daily by the retreat master, who in simple, appealing‘ language reach- ed the hearts of his listeners im- pressing on them the value of prayer as a living part of their daily _lives. It was shown that the great virtues of the spiritual life, Faith, Hope and Charity, regular- ly need the reviving influence of a retreat. _ With faith and hope, the failures of the past do not seem such a cause o-f discouragement, nor do the sufferings and difficulties of the present, present suoh insur- mountable obstacles. And the re- treat will provide the surest way of advancing in charity, which the Divine Master has taught, is the commandment in which all others is contained. At the closing conference, Father Fisher commended the retreatants for the zeal with which they had carried out the exercises of the the need of ever keeping in mind and putting into practice in their daily lives, the good resolutions formed during this period of med- itation and prayer. The Papal Blessing was then imparted to the retreatants, and the solemn closing of the retreat . was held Sunday evening at 7.30 when Benediction was given by Reverend Father Fisher. The girls choir of the Academy rendered lovely hymns during the morning and evening services in the chap. e1. At the informal reception which followed the closing, the gratitude and flPpreciation of the retreat- ants (who numbered forty-two), was expressed to the Retreat-Mas- ter, for the spiritual aid he had given them, through.his inspiring counsel. To the Reverend Mother Super- ior and sisters cf the Academy, sincere thanks for cordial hospital- ")! and kindly thought for the comfort of all, was expressed by Mrs. DI‘.

Fund For Britain Speaks At Rotary Sir Ellsworth IFlavelle, Bart, chairman of the United micr- gency Fund for Britain. addressed Rotariuia gt their weekly lunch- eon yesterday. The origin of [the fund was the spontaneous inquiry of the aver- age citizen when approached by canvassers for other worthy relief projects such as Relief for Greece, relief for Europe, relief for China oi‘ other campaigns-Wwhy don't you do‘ something for Brltaini". "Finally we are getting around to doins just that", said Sir Ells- worth. "Not that we have never done anything or given anything in the past, for thousands of in- dividuals and organizations have been sending relief of all kinds, but this is the first time it is to be done on a national scale. "During the years 1939-48 Can- adians have sent over $100,000,000 to Great Britain, yet this has been purely voluntary with no organ- ization responsible to see that there was no needy group in Brit- ain missed." The U.E.ii.. for Britain is an or- ganization fuliy equipped to han- dle both the collection and dis- tribution of gifts. A powerful Board of Directors dranvn fro-m the leading citizens o-f Canada will see that the fund is handled in accordtnce with the general wishes of Canadians and expended in a business like manner to the ‘tat. isfaction of the people of Great Britain. The drive is non-political having been approved by all part- ies, and is non-denominational, Sir Ellsworth said offices will be maintained in Ottawa, Toronto, and London, England. Every effort will be made to obtain the cooperation of exist- ing organizations and encourage their furl-tier developmbnt. Indiv- iduals too will be encouraged to send. parcels either direct or through the U-l-LR. organization. l The Postage Problem One item of substantial assist- ance alone is in the matter of postage, said the speaker. For years there have been heard com- plaints from all parts of the Do- minion as to the high cost of mailing parcels to Britain. The individual protests have not been heeded, but the United Emergency l-‘iellei Directors are confident that the Government will give consideration to the reduction of postage when it is empowered to speak for the majority of Cana- dians. This reduction of postage will be effective whether the don- or makes his contribution through the U.E.F. or mails his parcel dir- ect to friend or relative. Another welccme result of the new organization, said Sir Ells- worth. ls that any check payable to the ILEJ‘. is deductable from taxable income. The individual or group making the dcnatiorfis not l‘ lost sight of, and reports from a Britain will beavailable to them. Notes sent to individuals will be delivered with the gifts. The ad- vantage of sending relief through the U.E.F. rather than as an in- dividual is that the donor can take advantage of the huge pur- chasing power of the group so that his contribution will actually be greater. Locking to the future, speaker said that when the emer- gency is over, the organization will be a public link between the peoples. and will be a useful channel of information not sub- ject tc the red tape of official communications.
