Servicemen Overseas Thank I. O. D. E. Chapter For Books

The April meeting of the Lucy Maude Montgomery Chapter 1.0. D.E. was held Monday, April 14th at the home of Mrs. R.W. Mac- Lean, with 21 members present and the Regent, Mrs. Rankin, in the chair.

The meeting was opened with the Prayer of the Order being repeated in unison by the mem- bers, after which the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

Mrs. Dumout reporting for Ser- vices At Home and Abroad read a very interesting and apprecia- tive letter thanking the Chapter for the books sent to the Canadian Servicemen in Germany. The let- ter also told us something of the facilities provided for these men, and described how some of their leisure time was spent. It was felt by all members that we make an- other collection of pocket books to be shipped as soon as possible for the Canadian service personnel stationed in Germany.

Mrs. Arthur Love reported that

the three pictures of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and one of Prince Philip had been purchas- ed and framed and are now ready for ‘presentation to schools on Prince Edward Island.

Plans were discussed regarding the display of I.O.D.E. articles from the three Charlottetown Chapters. This display will be shown in the window at Rogers Hardwalie during the week April 26th to May 3rd. It will then be packed and shipped overseas.

Railways Revise Wage Comparison

lVll0NTEiAL (CP)——'.[lhe major railways Monday revised a wage comparison study submitted ear- lier in the long conciliation hear- ing over a multiamiillion-dollar contract dispute with their 130,- 000 non-operating employees.

The revision was made in

the railways’ calculation of the

hourly wage rate paid in October 1956, to outside industry em- ployees with jobs similar to those done by the non-operating work- ers.

Originally, the railway study showed the outside worker-s earned $1.39 an hour, compared with $1.49 for the railway em- ployees. Monday’s change, made with later figures and new “weighting,” brought the $1.39

figure up to $1.46.

The railways had contended earlier that their wage study showed the non - operating em- -ployees—wihio do not actually oip-

ry. KEY TO DISPUTE

The fight over a wage stan- dard is the key to the big dispute.

The unions support a standard based on wages paid in the dur- able goods industiry—the heavy manufacturing group including automotive wonkers.

This Yardistick, the unions say, supports the union demand for a wage increase that works out to aibuot 35 cents an hour. The pres- ent contrdct was to expire last Dec. 31. ,

The inquiry is expected to con- clude Wednesday and adjourn until May 8 when final argu- ments from both sides, will be heard.

Horse Meat Up

VANCOUVER (CP) -— Rising beef prices have doubled the con- sumption of horse meat in Van- couver in the last four months.

The manager of an East Has- tings horse meat outlet said Sat- urday his sales have jumped from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds a weer since beef prices began a steady climb four months ago.

He said it wast-he biggest de- mand for horse meat in Van- couver in fiive yeans when beef prices last hit a high level. Horse meat is now selling at less than half the price of beef in the city —99 cents for beef sirloin steak compared with 45 cents a pound

they are interesting paintings by a great man.” WEEKEND PAINTER

Toronto newspaper critics de- scribe them as works of an a’ ‘a- teur weekend painter with more than average abilities.

Pearl McCarthy, of the Toronto Globe and Mail, says the pain-t-

ings are “buoyant” with the “warmth and vigor of a giant personality.”

Although the 8,600 persons who: attended the exhibition last week set an Easter week record at the‘ gallery, there isn’t much chancel of attendance reaching an all- time high. Exhibitions of old mas- ters have previously drawn up to 10,000 daily at the gallery. RECORD CROWDS -

The paintings were displayed to record crowds in Kan-sas City, Detroit and New York City earl- ier this year. The exhibition goes from here next week to the Smithsonian Institution in Wash- ington, D.C.

Most comments from visitors to the display have remarked on the brightness and even composi- tion of Sir Winston's landscapes and sea-scapes most of them painted in the south oif France.

M-rs. Dorothy Maas, gallery publicist, said the “paintings had attracted much attention and fa-

vorable comment from amateurs, _

nearly all of whom had done sim- ilar work. The gallery from ama-

teurs, nearly all of whom had‘

done similar work. The gallery had been warned to expect crit-

icism from people who object to -

amateur work being exhibited so widely. Happily, type showed up."

The Canadian - born Cleveland industrialist said the 30 nuclear scientists attending the present i n f o r m al discussions at the nearby resort of Lac Beauport agree that war would mean the destruction of civilization.

He made the statements at .- press conference aboard his pi vate aircraft before leaving fr Cleveland: The present confc ence began 10 days ago and is t end today. It takes its name fro ii Mr. Eaton's family home at Pug-K, wash Junction, N.S., where the first conference was held last summer.

The scientists discussed nu- clear warfare from both an eth--

Mr. Eaton said.

“Warfare today is discordant with the ethical sense of the word.” In addition the present destructive power of nuclear en- ergy was prohibitively higih.

“One United States bomber in the air tod-ay can carry more ex- plosives than used by all nations during the Second World War.”

The present conference would serve as the basis for a more complete round of talks to be held in the Austrian capital some- time early in September. These talks would be sponsored by the Austrian government. Further de- tails were not yet available.

Of the coniference Mr. Eaton said: ‘‘You can’t say fighting will preserve democracy-—there won’t be anything to preserve.”

"To go to war would be incred- ible folly.”
