Delays Recovery For West Europe

By STUART UNDERHILL V Canadian Press ltistf Writer

LONDON, Dec 20 -- tCPl -'- Uli- certalnty over the future of France is hampering the economic and military organization of Western Europe.

Recent stiikes, often accompan- ied by violence, have indicated the disruptive powers still held hy French Communists. They have east. doubt on the ability oi France to bear as large a burden in western co-opcration as might be expected from her geographic pos- ition. population and tradition.

Communist-inspired strikes in December, i947. leit the country groggy, but. her recovery yn the first half oi 1948 was so rapid that it cheered her friends in Britain. Since then calilnet crises and labor unrest have clouded the picture.

There is little feeling here that. the advent of Gen. Charles de Gaulla to power would improve the French situation. Those familiar with the, wartime Free French leader claim that his forthright views are more likely to perpetuate internal strife than with radicals to his cause.

The iiicttiresque village oi New Glasgow is pleasriiiiiy situated on the West hank of the Clyde River. It is surrounded by one oi.’ the best agricultuial districts on the Island.

The village stands beside a gravel road between Hunter River iJld Rusticu, and is about seven miles to Green Gables, illg home of our bcloved authoress. L. M. Mont- gomcry. Here may be seen two general stores operated by Messrs. C. S. Dlngwcil and R. l... Dickleson. Mr. Dickieson also has the local egg grading station which is oper- ated by Earl Stevenson. -

On the West bank of the river stands the United Church. on the east bank the Christian Church. Here, too, is located a real Smithy with Mr. Elbert behind the anvil.

An up-to-date carriage factory is run by the Hill Bros, who have a reputation for turning out. the nest slcighs and wagons in the Province, while a community rink ls well patronized by the young folk in Winter.

New Glasgow has its own fire fighting engine with -2-000 feet. of hose. One oi t.he largest creamerles on the Island operates in the villaize under the management of M. Larkins. assisted by Harold Stevenson. This fine plant is own- ed hy the farmers oi the district. The community hall is n company
