During the meeting it was rought to the attention oi those present that members of the Canadian Army belongln to Prince Edward Island were be ng discharged from the forces on account of being medically unfit or for other rea- sons in Halifax. several injustices were pointed out from this course and a committee was appointed to draft a. resolution for presentation to the Dominion Headquarters pro- testing this procedure and urging that the men be discharged in Charlottetown.

Among the first residents I talk. ed with was fisherman Jose Bis o who said that “after hearing t e shots for some time I climbed n hill of about 80 metres (about ‘:50 feet) from where I sow a ship about 20 miles southeast but I was unable to identify her as a worship or armored vessel." "Another ship was more dia- tant and I was able to see only the column of her smoke." he Accounts agree that the sounds like cannonadfng started at 4:45 pm. (3.45 pm. A5312) About one report n. minute for the succeed- ing half hour were noted. Fisherman Bispo continued:- “When I reached the tog of the hill the shootin ended. necr- crnul southward and the other was via bie only by her small column of smoke and I was unable to determine if this one was fleeing or had halted to attack." “The lhota were heard over l. 80- minute period and shortly offer. ward the nearest chip dinppesred over the horiwn. "It is not true. as reported, that iifeboats or wreckage were found on the beaches here or in the vicinity. The only thing seen was the (nearer) ship and it was fol- lowing an unknown course."

MacDonald, R. C. A. F. son of the late Mr. James MacDonald and Mrs. MacDonald of Glenfinnan, P.E.I. Rlev. Monsignor Maurice MacDon- ald celebrated the Nllptlal Mass and performed the marriage ceremony. During the Mass beautiful hymns were rendered by the organist, Miss Mary Collins assisted by Mr. Aiphonsus McIntyre, cousin of the bride. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, wore a. floor length dress of Virgin Blue Net with matching accessories and carried a white Prayer Book. She was attend- ed by ner sister, Mildred, who wore a floor length dress of Maize Net, with matching accessories and car- ried a Pearl Rosary. Mr. Donald A. MacDonald, cous- in of the groom, acted as gruumg- man. Immediately after the ceremony, the bridal party motored to the home of the bride, where a dainty wedding breakfast was served to the relatives and immediate friends. Among the guests was Rev. Louis Callaglun, cousin of the bride. In the evening a reception was held at the home of the groom. where a. large crowd gathered to- gether to wish Mr. and Mrs. Mac- Donald mnny years of happy wed- ded life. .

E. I. I-Pghlanders. The church was beautifully decor- ated for the occasion in autumn leaves and cut flowers of every va- riety banked the front of the church and the altar and formed o. pretty background. The bride en- tered the church and proceeded up the aisle on the arm of her father who joind the groom at the altar to the strains of Iphengrirrs Wed- ding March played by Miss Ruth Montgomery. The bride looked charming becomingly dressed in dusty rose with hat and other matching accessories end carried o large corsage bouquet. The cere- "mony was performed by Rev. Mr Verwolfe of Summerside, the young couple were unattended during the signing of the register. Mrs. George Profitt and Mr. Parmearlus Philips sang as a duet Perfect Love. The church was crowded with friends. At the close oi the ceremony the Stresses need 0f teaching Fire prevention October 6-1.1 in this War deali- naicd as Fire Prevention Week. File Prevention Week is held al- ways near the anniversary of the great Chicago Confiagratlon which was said to have originator when l. cow owned by a. Mrs. Oleary kicked over a lantern, setting fire to the barn and thus starting one of the greatest collflagrations known Jo mankind. We have now been at war for something over two years and many lessons have been learned so far. and among these is the great dan- ger of fire when a community is bombed. Each community should be well prepared to offset the addition- al hazards and it ls a well known fact that normal fire-fighting fa- cilities are totally inadequate to handle a fire situation arising out of open hostilities. ‘Prince Edward Island in the past few years has been steadily im- proving iis per capittt fire loss with regard to the Ifiliar value of the loss", Mr. C. A. Beer, Provincial Fire Marshal said. But it is yet far from reaching the point where the bridal party motored to the home of the bride where a sumptuous wedding supper was served to the immediate friends of the bride and groom. Later in the evening a num- ber of senenaders arrived to tender their congratulations in their jov- ial manner. After a short furlough the groom returns to his military duty followed by the best wishes of a host of friends that this popular young couple may enjoy many veal-s of happy wedded life. ‘The ushers were Pte. Roy Abbott and Pte. Charles Hickey of the P. E. I. High- landers. A few evenings previous to her marriage a large number of the friends of the bride gathered at the home of her parents Mr. and ivlrs. Preston Beairsto to tender her a. shower. The bride was escorted to a. prettliy dgcorated scat of hon- or in the drawing room by a minia- ture bride and groom in the per- son of Audrey Beafirstc and David Chisholm to the strains of music. A. large number of parcels were in evidence gifts from many friends those were opened by Mrs. Joseph Caseley and Eleanor Stewart and the accompanying verses were lead by Mrs. Preston Green and Haw‘ Hopgood and Evelyn Birt and l-Iaz- el MacDonald arranged them on the table. Miss Beairsto graciously thanked all for the‘: gifts in re- .mcmbering her so kindly and all joined in singing, For She Ls A Jolly Good Fellow. The gifts consisted of china, silver and glassware. linen and many other useful housekeep- ing necesities. The remaindwr of the evening was spent in games and social intercourse. A bountiful lunch was served by the ladies and a. pleasant evening was clllpyffd by all. Miss Bealrsto was a valued em- ployee of the Malpeque Trading Co. and by her obligmg and courteous personality made for herself a host of friends who all join in wishing her many years of wedded happi- ness.—-V. losses are such that it is unneces- sary to carry on Fire Prevention Campaigns. Unfortunately, the pub- lic do not, us a whole, take this matter as seriously as it should be taken and this is proven by the fact that over eighty per cent of all fires losses each year are known to have been prevcntiblc. In plain English, this means thalour peo- ple are careless enough to cause a tremendous fire wastage, and ai- ihough publicity campaigns have been carried on each _vcar for many years the resulting lmprovcnlents would not appear to justly the a- 'mount of time and work spent on the carrying out of these cam- paisns. It is believed that if sufficient thought was given to this subject file decision would be lmarfmcus for including in the curriculum of our public schools the subject of Fire Prevention. It is believed that if this was done, in the (‘ollrse of a decade. the improvements would be amazing. Interpreting The War (Continued froniypage l) bility.

British destruction of axis shipping had risen three-fold in the same period. And it was on Italian or Italian-used ship- ping in the Mediterranean that the axis tonnage losses fell most heavily. 0 I l Some British authorities say that British sea and air power in the Mediterranean has been taking a steady {i0 per cent roll or better of Italian craft em- ployed in attempts to reinforce the axis army in Libya. The fact that the British navy is still using thc_ ‘rla_r_r‘o_vy_ _ Sicilian Straits to pass important con- voys eastward clearly indicates British naval control of the Mediterranean. The axis victory in Greece and taking of Crete has not worked out as Berlin and Rome hoped it would, ap- parently because of Hitler's plunge into Russia. At any rate, it seems clear that unless the Nazis carry the battle into the Caucasus soon end force the sending of pow- erful empire armies there i0 aid the Russians. Britain soon will have forces available along the India-Egypt lifeline for oi- fensive action. O U O British recapture of Libya. extended this time clear i0 the Libyan border of French Tun- isia, might not of itself great- 1y change the military strategic picture or directly relieve Ger- mun pressure on Russia.

'f‘he re- ; suits of axLs victories as yet must be bitter in 1:51pm mouths. Nor can thoughtful Italians overlook the possibility of even more vengeful British action than the bombing of Rome pm- miscd by Mr. Churchill if and when Britain decides such ac- tion is necessary. Should Brit- ish forces again sweep Libyg, clear to the African bridge- heads of the Straits of Sicily, the invasion spectre would haunt Italian dreams as ter- ribly as it still haunts those of some in England. Winter invasion of the Con- fluent from England is as much out of the question as a win- ter invasion of Britain. Italy is another matter. The winter months in the central Mediterranean would be most suitable for either a new Libyan drive or an attempt to pene- trate SECllY. If a British coun- ter illvason of the Hitler dom. inatcd European continent is actually ever attempted, Italy, the weak link in Hitler! axis armor. is a. more likely objec- tive than any west coast ap- proach. ‘Canadian lied Gross rehef For Russia The Canadian Red Cross is mak- ing zuraugelllenis to rush $100,000.00 worth of special medical SllppllCS to the Russian Rxld Cross to llleet an emergency need for this type of as- sistance_ Dr. F.
