     Commissioner Boolh's Visit 
     
    

    
     An honoured visitor to Char- 
     
     lottetown this evening will be Com- 
     
     missioner W. Wycliffe Booth, newly 
     
     appointed Salvation Army leader in 
     
     Canada and Bermuda. who will be 
     
     accompanied by Mrs. Booth and 
     
     other Salvation Army leaders. and 
     
     will conduct an evangelistic rally. 
     
    

    
     Commissioner Booth's family 
     
    

    
     name is itself a' mark of high distinc- 
     
     tion, known and honored through- 
     
     out the world. He is a grandson of 
     
     the Army's founder and first Gen- 
     
     eral. William Booth. and a son of its 
     
     scrond ticncral. Bramwell Booth. 
     
     Iilrs. Booth also comes from a fam- 
     
     ily which has given outstanding 
     
     leadership in Salvation Army activi- 
     
     tics in Europe. 
     
    

    
     The great organization they rep- 
     
     resent is replete with examples of 
     
     this kind. where children and grand- 
     
     children liare carried on. with zeal 
     
     and devotion. the work initiated by 
     
     the older geiiwation. It is a mission 
     
     now recognized universally for its 
     
     achievements in practical Christian- 
     
     ity. Many years ago an outpost was 
     
     established here, which has flourish- 
     
     ed and grown up with the commun- 
     
     ity and stands high in the list of our 
     
     humanitarian organizations. The 
     
     Commissioncr's visit will be an in- 
     
     spiration to all associatr-ri with this 
     
     work, and a matter of friendly in- 
     
     terest to all our citizens. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Canadian Club For P.E.l. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A welcome addition to our local 
     
     Orkanizations will be the newly 
     
     formed Canadian Club for Prince 
     
     Edward Island. There are now about 
     
     a hundred Canadian Clubs located 
     
     in all the larger cities, and most of 
     
     the bigger towns across Canada, 
     
     with a total membership of 40.000. . 
     
     These clubs provide an excellent 
     
     opportunity for distinguished Cana- 
     
     dians or visitors from other coun- 
     
     tries to speak on issues of national 
     
     and intcrnational importance. As an 
     
     example. the speakers who will be 
     
     brought. here under Club auspices in 
     
     the near future will include Mr. A. 
     
     D. l)unton. chairman of the Cana- 
     
     dian Flrondt-asting Company, Hon. 
     
     Ceor;:r- M:u'lcr', Minister of Trans-

     Licutcnanl Gcncral Guy Simmonds, 
     
     rctircd Chief of Staff of the Cana- 
     
     dian Army. Many Canadian Clubs 
     
     do no morc than arrange important 
     
     mct-tings of this kind, but in other 
     
     rontrcs, p rticularly whcrc there

     Foreign Minister Molotov of the

     clearly that they did not necessarily 
     
     imply political support. A man of

     himself dead". Perhaps he did and 
     
     perhaps he didn't. 
     
     movie-like character of the account 
     
     is a little prejudicial to its authen- 
     
     ticity-”The Fuehrer looked at me 
     
     gravely in the eyes, shook my hand. 
     
     said good-bye, and shot himself."

     The large new filleting plant of 
     
     Griffin Fisheries Limited at Souris 
     
     is another evidence of the progress 
     
     being made in this thriving indus- 
     
     trial centre. 
     
    
   
   
    
     society have already been built, 
     
     there are also those peoplels demo- 
     
     cracies which have taken only the 
     
     very important 
     
     the direction of socialism." This was 
     
     heresy of the deepest dye. 
     
     suggested that only the foundations 
     
     of socialism. not socialism itself, let 
     
     Communism, had 
     
     been laid in the Soviet Union Ap- 
     
     parently, outside observers paid 
     
     little or no attention to Mr. Molo- 
     
     tov's deviation from the Party's of- 
     
     one may be 
     
     that it did not pass unnoticed by 
     
     Nikita Khrushchev. secretary of the 
     
     Party and. by all accounts, the dom- 
     
     inating power in the entire set-up. 
     
     One may assume also that the little 
     
     indiscretlon has played on Mr. Molo- 
     
     tov's mind all spring and summcr. 
     
     helped along from time to time. no 
     
     doubt, by little reminders from Mr. 
     
     Khruschchev. So there was nothing 
     
     for Mr. Molotov to do but make an 
     
     apology. This he did in a 
     
     the Soviet press dated Sept. 16 but 
     
     disclosed publicly only a week or so

     letter to 
     
    
   
   
    
     The apology refers to the ”poli- 
     
     tical harmfulness" of 
     
     statement which "brings confusion 
     
     into ideological questions 
     
     tradicts the decisions of the Party." 
     
     Doubtless. the retraction will soothe 
     
     the hurt feelings of Mr. Khrushchev 
     
     and his cronies; but, somehow, one 
     
     the original statement 
     
     was much clearer and more honest 
     
     in every way. Meanwhile. Mr. Molo-

     hubby in French is "un violon

     Itching, or prurltus an it is

     sectlcldes, soaps. deodorants, dyes 
     
     pollens and physical changes such 
     
     as dryness of the skin, chafing 
     
     and tickling caused by furs. 
     
    

    
     Dandruff. excessive dryness or 
     
     irritating hair tonic.-2 generally are 
     
     the cause of an itching scalp. 
     
    

    
     Woolen underwear. dyes or your 
     
     socks, soap and cold water may

     Continued rubbing over a long 
     
     period of time frequently results 
     
     in lichenlfication in which the 
     
     skin becomes thick and leathery. 
     
     What can you do about that 
     
     itch? 
     
    

    
     Better see your doctor right 
     
     away so he can find out what is 
     
     causing it. Remove the source 
     
     and you remove the itch, 
     
    

    
     He might suggest you change
