Carols and favorite hymns compos- ed the evening's singing. The Pros- ident, Miss June Moore. proposed several projects for the group to consider. among which was the matter of the distributicn of treat- nmong the hospitalized members of the group. The treasurer"; report showed a very healthy financial situation existing. the result of the Christmas card venture. In the "BUY-A-B!'lck" for the camp main- tenance. the treasilrcr, Wendell Stevenson. indicated that s5.35 worth of bricks had already been ,'3urch- ased. Twenty dollars also from the treasury will be presented to the church to be added to the large An- niversary offering of last month. The evening's thought was present- cd by the minister. Mr. Dunbar. His subject contained a Christmas- emphasis and took the form of a plea to properly conduct actions and tbcughts respecting the true meaning of Christmas. This mess- age dovetailed perfectly into the course being generally followed on Christian sociology. Attendance was small due to an all out effort by the students in preparation for exam- inations today. WEST COVEIIEAD W. I. The West Covehead w.I. met at the home of Mrs. Victor Deacon.

Dec. 12. 1950--I-louse flies resistant to DDT have been reported in recent years from dif- ferent parts of Canada and the United States. Scientists. delving into the mysteries of why all-flies are not killed by the insecticide. are close to scoring another round for the farmer and the housewife in their annual summer battle against the flies when they recently detennlned that some files have the ability to break down DDT into relatively harmless compounds. Entomologists working in the Canada Department of Agiricultures Division of Entomology,al. Ottawa collected flies from several regions of Ontario and Quebec where re- sistance to DDT had been reported. After being reared under standard conditions for several generations, different cultures of these were subjected to mortality treatrnents with the insecticide when it was found that some files have developed a. gtreaier degree of resistance to DUE than others. Officials at Ottawa. however. point out that additional studies must be carried out before definite conclusions can be drawn regarding the extent of the occur- rence of DDT-resistant house flies in Canada. , Considerable research work has been done by workers in the United States on how some house files are apparently able to stand up under dosages of DDT which spell sudden death to other files receiving the same treatment. Based on exten- sive experiments recently reported in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America. the research- ers have come up with the discovery that the resistant flies appear to have the as-yet-unexplained ability to break down the lethal DDT into less harmful substances before the killer reaches a. vital part of the body."I'he difference between sus- ceptible and resistant strains of house files is so great in this re- spect that the acientiata consider this to be a major factor in the ex- planation of why some files succumb to "DDT litters" and others survive. Resistant flies in both the larval and adult stages are able to break down the DDT into what. the scientists call DDE. a relatively harmless compound. In the sdult files this DDE is reported to be formed in the digestive tract and is liberated into the body tissues and accumulates for the most. part in the surface layers of the fly'a body. In the opinion of scientists in both Canada and the United States the discovery of this apparent faculty that DDT-resistant flies possess of breaking down the power- ful lnsecticide into non-lethal substances is something new. and may aid in explaining the develop- ment of resistance to insecticides in other insect pests.

CHARLOTTETOWN Sudden Death Of Mr. Willard Spencer The funeral of the late Mr. Wil- lard Spence who died suddenly from a heart attack on Monday morning will be held at 2 13.111. this afternoon from Trinity Church. Mr. Spencer was on his way to the Provincial Treaairy Depart- ment. where he has been employed since 1946. when he had a. seizure in the Island Book Room on Great George street, and 'died a few min- utes later. Born in Montague ln 1888. he was the son of the late Rev. w.1-1. Spencer and Mrs. Spencer. He started to work with the Canadian Bank of Commerce while still a young man. and was also with the Island Telephone Company fcr some years. Before going to the Treasury Department he worked for nine years with the Irwin Printing Company. Mr. Spencer was I. charter mem- ber of the Y's Men's Association and was an enthusiastic supporter of this organization until the time of his death. Recefitly he served as a member of the Board of stewards of Trinity Church. and previous to I that time was one of the Elders. He was also private secretary to Lieut. Go or B. W. 1.ePage dur- ing his term of office. Surviving are his widow, the for- mer Katherine Murchison of Char- lottetown. daughter of the late Captain John Murchison, and one sister. Mrs. A.C. Sinclair of Char- lottetown. The remains are resting at the N. D. MacLcan Funeral Home. Huge Increase In Outgoing Mail Outgoing mail handled at the CI-iarlottetown Post Office this month is almost twice as heavy as the mail for the same period in "1949. For the first l8 days of Decem- ber last year the total was 257.220 letters. and this has jumped this year to 480.574. Every available foot of space in the post office is taken as clerks and helpers sort. cancel. and distribute letters by the thousand into their various pigeon holes and boxes. Mail which has to be cleared at the local Customs Office is again streaming in steadily. Previous to last Friday a number of days had passed during which no parcels were received at all. due to the rail. strike in the United States. Storm Prevents Shipment Of Sows To Quebec Tile first irltci'-provincial car- load shipment of qualified sows ever to be made in Canada was prevented here this week by ilie hard driving snow stoi-rn which struck the Province on Monday night. Mr. Napoleon Mercler. aentative of the Quebec ment of Agriculture. has been in the Province the past few days with the intention of selecting. a carload of two and three year old qualified sows for shipment to Nlcolel. county. Quebec. He had part ofa carioad round- ed up on purchases be made Mon- day. He had planned to continue purchases on fhiesday and Wed- nesday and have the sows on their way to Quebec later in the week. The storm. however. forced him to cancel the order. He intends to return for the carload of sows next May. Mr. Mercier's desire to purchase this carload of sows here reflects high satisfaction with previous swine he bought in the Province. In 1949 he purchased a carload of boars and .sows from Island breed- us for Quebec farmers. "with only one or two except- ions all the wine purchased in this Province one year ago proved satisfactory. There has been a considerable increase in Grade A hogs in Ntcolet County since the importation of Island Yorkshires." he stated. He regretted that the weather interfered with his plans but ex- pressed his intentions of return- ing. He willleave this morning for Quebec after four days in the Province.

Temporairy (Vrble Strung Telephone communications with the mainland. completely knock- ed out Monday night. were par- tially resiored yesterday as the Halifax circuit was working. This was made possible by the erec- tion of temporary cable along the I-Iillsboro Bridge to connect the City with the Micro wave at Tea Hill. The temporary cable replaces the wire blown down into the river Monday night. The cable also enabled the Montague and Sourls circuits to function. Heavy damage has been suffered west of summed-side but telephone company cfficlals have no accurate estimate of the extent. Nine or ten poles were knocked down at Mil- ton, several miles west of the City but there was practically no pole damage in the estern section of thc province. - v - City Service Restored Electric light facilities in thc City ywere all restored yesterday with the exception of one section on the Spring Park Raced. it was reported last night by Mr. V.A. Alnriwcrth. general manager of the Maritime Electric Company. Power was also restored to the Sou:-is and Montague lines by ves- terday evening. he stated. The Montague line was knocked out abcut eleven o'clock Monday night and the souris line in short. time later. The lines to Bordon and O'f.earv were still out last night. six polcs were down on the west. sl-I3 of Hampton and other poles ivcrc broken in various localities. The Weymcut-h street circuit. near the I-iillsboro Bridge and the Montague circuit blacked out at 9.10 Monday night to give the first electric trouble. Both circuits iv!-re strung up but. the Wcymouth cir- cuit. went out again about it ol- clock. The Montague circuit went out again shortly after eleven and was put back into working shape about. noon ycsterday. About 5.30 yesterdav mominx half the Brighton circuit was out. The wires were down at the lower end of Brighton Road and North River Road when a tree fell across the -wires on Brighton Ave-ii-tic and there was trouble c-n Elm Avenue. The Brighton circuit. was function- ing again about 9.30 AM. Worked strenuously Linemen were out working Mon- day night. but high winds made it nearly impossible for them to climb t.-lie poles.

Report Minor Traffic Accidents Five minor traffic accidents were reported in tiic City yester- day. each of them causing damage to the vehicles involved. but no- one was hurt in any of the col- llsions. The first occurred when an automobile travelling south on Elm Avenue collided with a ca.r going West on Euslon St.. causing dam- age to the right. rear fender and bumper cf the latter vehicle. Another car travelling down spring Park Road did not stop for the stop sign on Eusion Street and struck an automobile which win: going East on Euston. The car on Euston was damaged on the left side while the other sufferccl very little.
