(By Thomas '1'. Champion, Canadian

Over 25,000 tons of Island pit gravel and 8,000 tons of shore gravel have been placed on the roads of the Prov- ' ince in the past two months under the Federal unemploy- ment scheme. This represents about 10,000 tons more gravel than was ever used previously iu any season. It also estab- lishes a precedent inasmuch as graveliing work hitherto was done largely with imported material. Under the un- employment scheme this Fall no imported gravel was used except washed gravel for concrete work in Charlottetown, Summerside and Montague-material which could not be

Mr. Boulter, who had been absent from the Province at the Royal Winter Fair, expressed Bllrprlse and indignation at the na- ture of these rumors and stated, when interviewed, that they were without the slightest foundation, in

This Year, Of All Years, We Should Make Sure That There Are No Empty Stockings When_ Santa Claus Has Passed Over The Com-
munity.
The whole glory of happy childhood is expressed by
that unknown poet who wrote of : “Children's faces looking up Holding wonder like a cup.” ,
For the capacity for wonder is a great and happy thing. And at Christmas the spirit of wonder is uppermost in the child as the marvels of the day areunfolded for its delight.
But it is only one short step from wonder to doubt, so sensitive are the reactions oi’ the child mind, and if the wonder of Christmas and its happy mystery are clouded by doubt as to whether there is to be any Christmas or not the child is unhappy. And we can not have any unhappy children at Christmas. That is the reason why The Guardian Santa Pals Club is functioning for the fifteenth year-and it is your opportunity to help the children.
An appeal is made to‘ all our subscribers to adopt a child from the list subjoined and send to the Guardian the toy or toys suitable to his or her needs. The earlier this is done the better, as it requires a considerable time on the
