Paris of trees were down on Douglas. Hayfield and Victoria streets. A tree on Edward Street was leaning against another stronger tree.

Losses to grain crops were re- ported heavy in some sections as the heavy winds and rain flatten- ed acres of grain.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield Yeo, Kingston. was the scene of a happy occasion on July 23rd. 1950, when there was a re- union picnic of the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Houston. North Rustico. Upwards of fifty members were present.

LAST MIIIIITE .

Continued from page 1

” day) - (CP) - As the day of the "tiny emftlvyeey strike deadline came into being this morning the heads of the Unions' negotiating committee still wrestled with last. minute mediation efforts aimed at settlement of the multl-million dol- lar issue of more pay and shorter hours.

while the workers' representa- tives talked among themselves and the special Government Mediator stood by and rail heads hold themselves on call. there was still hope for some sort of settlement that might result in a call-off of the strike set for 0 AM. local stan- dard time.

But from the series of meetings which followed one after the other yesterday and all last night there was no announcement to indicate progress.

After one conference with title Mediator, Dr. W.A. Mackintosh, the boss of the 15 International Union: negotiating committee. Frank Hall. said: "Nothing."

Not long afterwards President Donald Gordon of the Canadian National Railways gave the some comment after the rail heads had met with the Mediator.

Midnight found the Union heads talking among themselves in the downtown conference room. the Mediator having left them to chat frankly without him listening-in. That meeting started at. 11.10 P. M. and followed a 40-minute meeting of the railways with Dr. Mackin- tosh which started at 10.06 P. M.

All told there were two Union meetings with the Mediator throughout Monday plus a two- hour session when the Unions alone thrashed at their problems. nail- way heads met the Mediator twice yesterday including a two-hour ses- sion whim began at mid-day.

Railroad chaos came closer with every passing minute that the wage-hour dispute remained sty- mied and the strike deadline near-

Princess Margaret Celebrates Her 20th Birthday

CRATI-ill, Scotland, Aug. 21 - (Rauters) -- Petite, gay Princess Margaret was 20 today as roman- tic rumor which has pursued her reached a climax.

Britain 'had wondered all day whether she would announce her engagerlient before nightfall. but no announcement came.

Iondon social circles have been forecasting the 27-year-old red- headed llarl of Daikeith as the Prinoess' choice.

Keir to one of Britain's largest fortunes. his 'parents. the Duke and Duchess of Bucclench. enter- tained Princess Margaret at their Scottish estate last-week.

Ibnlght the King and Queen gave a family party for Margaret, at their Scottish home. Balmoral Castle.

The Duke of Edinburgh. husband of Princess Elizabeth, flew to Scotland to be present. thereby adding to speculation that this was to be a special family occasion.

Margaret. whose birthplace was her mother's Scottish homo, Giamis Castle. has not fulfilled the caatie's historic legend. The legend says that a girl who first sees the light of day at Glamis .. family seat of the Earls of strathmore .. will be married before she . aches the age of 30.

Although her name has been linked with at least six young nobleman. Margaret has given no indication of her choice.

But with the likelihood of be: coming to the throne becoming more and more remote - since the birth of the baby princess last week she now is fourth in auc- eeasion - Margaret can marry the man of her choice if the King

gives his approval. , choice lies -with the lost

' If her of Daikeith it would be a popular snatch. The young larl is related to the royal family already. through his aunt, by marriage. The eafl is heir to six statelyihomes and more than 600,000 acres of land. Last June rumors of his engage- ment to Msrlaret reached the pitch where the lari felt it his

Patients Al San Receive Bouquets

Again this year. members of the Parkdaie Womenls institute visit- ed the Sanatorium and presented each patient with a handsome bouquet of cut flowers. Attached to each was a card on which an appropriate verse had been writ- ten.

"Sanatorium Week" was initiat- ed in August 1943 under the lead- ership of Mr. D. J. Bcnneli. Since that time. in August of each year the Parkdaie Women's Institute has remembered ”Sanstorium Week” and each year the mem- her: have contributed large quan- tities of flowers for this worth- while cause. This year, the flower committee in its campaign aur- psssed all other years. All sorts of flowers. from large gindvioia to sweet-peas and bacheiorsi buttons were in the array. This result speaks for the efficient work which was carried out by the flower committee under the cap- able management of Mrs. Victor Hudson who has been at the San- atorium evesy year when the flowers have been distributed.

Dr. P. A. Creelman. Director of Division of Tuberculosis Control and Superintendent of the Sanat- orium. graciously thanked the committee for their painstaking work.

The following is the list of mem- bers who were present: Mrs. Vic- tor Hudson, Mrs. E. S. Cantweli, Mrs. Vernon MacDonald. Mrs. Frank Burke. Mrs. Elmer Rice, Mrs. J. R. Compton, Mrs. Katie Moore.

After leaving the Sanatorium the ladies took large bouquets to the Prince Edward Island Hospi- tal. the Charlottetown. the Sunset Lodge.

Thanks were also cxiended to the following who provided trans- portation to the Sanatorium and the other institutions: J.R. Comp- ion. E. S. Cantweii. Blair Moore. Vernon MacDonald.

Mr. Sylvan Gaiiani. one of the patients. made arecording on the wire recording machine which he had been aCqUCSEEd to play at the next meeting of the Institute. .
