t wasmmolrow. Aug. 21 —(AP) ‘lo-Mic United States Atomic Diem? Commission came out yesterday pwim first pictures of its hush- hush. bomb tests at Eniwetok.

, Since the tests at (he closely- ‘guarded Eniwetok proving grounds h the Marshall Islands, the A.E.C. ma: announced that the bombs demonstrated "a substantial gain in "(ex-plosive) emrgy release" over previous models, meaning greater oarplosive Wham.

The A.E.C. has been mum as to whether the bombs were bigger than their predecessor. or whether tho scientists had learned how to cause more of the potentially ex- plosive material of the bombs to bontribute to the blast. Probably she latter is closest to the tnith.

But, from a pictorial standpoint, Rio explosions of the new bomb bear: ‘l. close resemblance to those 0f Hie earlier model. .

"Eleanor, if you knew how unim- portant all this is!" he exclaimed. "Listen. I.f you're really troubled —you've no reason to be.

She nodded.

"All right." He came over and kissed her. "I won't see her ex- cept when We happen to be thrown together at. other people's houses, like tonight."

“Thank you." Eleanor took his hand. ‘That's all I wanted.’ She drew him down to sit on the step next to her. "Kester, does any- bQdY know about whet happened between you two a long time ago?"

An attractive Easter wedding took place in Montreal at the home of Mrs. Betty MacMlllan and Miss Helen Garrett, I085 Drummond Street, when Miss Winnie N. Mac. Caull was united in marriage to Mr. Hugh E. Dennis, both former- ly of Charlottetown, P. E. l. The officiating clergyman was Major Joyce of the balvation Army.

The double ring ceremony was performed in the living room be- neath a tastefully decorated arch. The bride was charming in her wedding gown of white satin with fingertip veil 0f tulle illusion held in place by a _coronet of seed pearls. She carried a bouquet of Easter Llllles. Mrs. Betty Mac- Millan, matron of honor wes be- comlngly attired in a floor length gown of pink silk organza with matching headdress and shoulder length veil. Her bouquet consisted of white roses.

The Broom was supported by Mr. Alex Milne of Montreal.

The groom's gift to the bride was a Rolex wrist watch, to the matron of honor, gold earrings, and to the best man a silver cigarette case.

Following the wedding, refresh- ments were served to a number of invited relatives and friends. Out of town guests were Miss Patricia ‘White of Vancouver, B. 0.. Mr. Hugh Dunn of n lace Bay. N. 8., and Mr. Robert Pultrey of Lon- don, England.

Widow Gervaise Purcell, nee Dur- and, native of New Orleans, and Louis Valcour, bachelor from the same town. Nearly a. hundred years later one of their posterity, Mr. Pierre Valcour. became cap- tivated late in life by a golden beauty from Memphis, who surviv- cd their marriage long enough to bequeath him a small income based on a cotton comeback after the Civil War. and a daughtenwhom the cross breeding between the Latin and Anglo-Saxon strains had endowed with a provocative charm. Mr. Valcour was not dubious about how to dispose of either legacy. You enjoyed money and you sent beautiful daughters to schools distinguished for their success in turning out well bred young ladies.

At. the age of eighteen Isabel was graduated. She was gentle. gracile and soft-voiced, with a lovely face, golden hair o. yard long and large, innocent eyes.

She went docilely home with her gray-haired father. made her debut and attended the parties. assiduously studying per chosen vocation — captivating young gen- tlemen. Before Christmas Isabel was rewarded by becoming the most popular girl in town. Her date book had no blank pages. She had declined three proposals of mflrrlalle- Popular as she was, she kept her reputation immaculate. Granting kisses. permitting too close an embrace in a waltz, stay- ing out late without a, chaperons —'from these one gained nothing. Anything that commands a high price, she knew, does so because it is hard to get.

In foot. she had long since made up hér mind to be to hard to get that. nobody in her present sur- roundlngs could get her. Some relatives of her mother's lived in New York, and they had invited Isabel to lpend the next winter with them. They were very well- to-do. and Isabel expected them to

iiiuodllv Tidal Power ‘ilfttclal Investigation

(By The Canadian Pros:

Now that a Palsa-maquoddy tidal power project 1| under official dis- cussion once more, the fishing in- dustry has again rallied to protect its interests in New Brunswickh neighboring Charlotte County.

The industry in that area. re- turned QSAGILOOO to fishermen last year and wages of $1,900,000 to others. Canned fbh products were valued at $6,150,000 and capital in- vestment amounted to 8.860.000.

This is the stake that local op- ponents of Quoddy fear will be en- dangered if the long dream of harnessing Maine and New Bruns- wick tidal power over become! actuality.

They have In official eetimate of what might happen. A survey in i904 showed that 2% per cent of the herring fisheries in the Bay of Fundy region are within the areas which would be dammed. Some opponents believe there would also be damage outside these BJGGS.

The importance of a further. similar survey was stressed at It. Andrews, N.B., in testimony before the international joint commission, which is making a preliminary study into the cost of a detailed survey of the feasibility and total cost of the huge project.

A fisheries expert expressed opinion that the investigation for power development should be made first, followed by 4m inquiry into what effect it Would have on local fisheries. He estimated the latter study would require three to four Years and possibly cost $200,000.

The Saint John, N.B-. Board of Trade takes a stand typical of the average re-acLion when Quoddy i; mentioned in connection with the admitted need of more power for New England and New Brunswick.

The Board favors a. further in. vestigatlon to settle for all time the question of the project's feas- ibility. It. would approve the de- vclopment if fisheries interests were compensated. if necessary, arid the cost of developing Quotidy power were lower than that of producing energy by other means.

The Bay of Fundy is one of the v'orld's principal herring sources, resulting in a great fish-packing irdustry at Black's Harbor, N. 18., and plants elsewhere along the Fundy coast, includinl Maine. Spokesman for the Black's Harbor firm say it is "unulterably oppos- ed" to the Quoddy development if a survey shows their industry would be affected advernely.

They are not objecting however] to an investigation into the cost of such a development. if the in- quiry is completed promptly. Other representatives of the fishing in- dustry agree with this, while em- phasizing the necessity of protect- ing fisheries and including them in any full-scale survey.

In any event, no change in the fishing ground situation because of Quoddy is apparent for the im- mediate future. Years elapsed be- tween the time of the idea's first promotion and the 1906 abandon- ment by the United States‘ of its s ho r t - lived and comparatively small experiment. If the prelimin- ary study indicate: the feasibility of a complete investigation, with the letter also favorable, more years would pan while Canadian and United States legislators de- bated the matter and construction lwogk proceeded-if finally author- ze .

BALTIC SCHOOL ltlCNIC

A very enjoyable picnic was held on June 28th at Malpoque Shore where pupils, parents, ratepayers and teacher met to spend u pleas- ant afternoon together, and to look back over the year's work. The congratulations of all present were heartily extended to George

Riley of Baltic School, who so suc- cessfully passed the Grade VIII cream. making a mark of 1V1 out of a possible 260.

The afternoon wab pleasantly spent in swimming. playing games, boating, racing, and an inspection tour of the dredge which ls at work in the cove.

A delicious supper was then served by the ladies, and at the close of the tea hour prizes were awarded to all pupils by the teacher, followed by a treat of ice cream by the Institute members, and a treat of chocol tc bars from Mr. Bruce Riley, halrman of trustees. The teacher was fitting- ly remembered by the pupils.
