Tm?-'

-What happens when a strange twist of fate suddenly gives a love- ly girl and a lonely man their chance to break all ties with the rust and embark on a. new life together?

This is the challenging situation confronting Joan Fontaine and Joseph Cottcn in Paramount's Hal Wallis production, "September Ad- falr." now playing at the Capitol Theatre. and the ensuing love at- fair makes for one of the most ar- resting and haunting stories ever fimed.

Francoise Rosay, continental film favorite, co-stars in this unusual tale of an exciting and poignant love. and Jessica Tandv heads the line cast of featured players.

Miss Fontaine and Cotton meet casually on a plane bound from Rome to New York. She is a con- cert pianist who had been study- iri: in Italy. He is an engineer who has been professionally successful. but finds that his marriage is go- ihit on the rocks. When their plane lands at Naples. they tour the town and return after it has left. It 500:1 crashes at sea and they are listed among the passengers lost.

Now in love. they can either re- ium to their former lives or con- tinue the deception. Their decision is to -remain together. and they have an idyllic romance ,in capri and Florence. But the inexorable rast soon claim: them and they are forced to come to terms with reality. The solution of their prob- lem is reached in s taut and stir- ring climax that will do strange thinly to your heart. .

Travelling Conditions In S'side Tough

A northerly wind of from It to 40 miles per hour yesterday transformed I four-inch snow fall at Summerside into banks that in some places were four feet high.

The Isms storm surly yester- day morning had blocked all the streets in Summerside. and al- though I snow plow was in net- icn quite early. most persons who normally travel by car were forced to walk to work.

By late afternoon most of the streets had been opened for traf- fic by the plow, but. most motor- ists experienced great difficulty due to the drifting snow, and al- most all who ventured out in their cars had the unpleasant ex- perience of having their cars stuck in snow. Two large trucks. in light delivery, and a car were all stuck in snow at one time in front of the Guardian Office on Summer Street about 8 a.m. yes- terday; and two busses loaded with air force personnel and civ- illan employees of the air sta- tion. both burned out clutches within the town in trying to pro- cc:-d to the airp,ort,through the snow.

All flights at the R.C.A.F. Sta- tion were cancelled. and it is understood that all busses of the Summerslde office of the I.M.T. were cancelled. The storm abated considerably in the late evening. However, fhere.was unusually light motor traffic on the streets.

Discussed Coa

trams cosl shortage on Prince Ed- ward Island were discussed in aimmersids Monday ' , be- tween J. Watson MscNsught. M.P.. and representatives of two of the largest oosl companies on the Is- land. ' ' y

He promised, he would take the mstter up with the authorities of Dosco sud other coal companies in Montreal: and if that is not satis- factory he would discuss the coal shortage with Hon? C, D. Howe. M. P.. Minister 1:! Trade and Commerce.

Mr, Mscivsught no expressed the hope that something would materialize to ease the, situation, which is quite serious throughout the Island. -

A representative of one of the firms reported that they have not had I pound of coal in their stock bins for three months. and stated that when a car of coal comes in it is usually unloaded in small lots within two or three hours to is waiting list of custom- ers.

In an effort to supply urgent demands for coal, this firm re- ports they have even depleted the supply of coal 'that they had on hand for their own use. They say also, that the existing shortage does not seem to show any signs of improving.

A representative of the other coal company stated that his com- pany did not have a pound of coal on hand. and that the situation

The vsrious upset; of the ex-

wu so bad that they pretty near had to buy anything that was black,

He commented on the various reasons for the shortage. among which he listed. (1) the stoppage of work at some mines for various legitimate reasons. (2) the holiday season just past. (8) a large in- dustrial demand. (4) increased de- fence production, (5) the demand for considerable amounts of coal at the wabana iron mines in New- foundland, which is producing iron ore for steel plants at Syd- ney and other points, which, them- selves. require large amounts of coal. (6) Many farmers now add to the big demand for coal be- cause in many cases they cannot secure labor to help get out fire- wood, (7) the closing of the Allan shaft which produced about 660 tons a day which was lost when this shaft blosed.

He said that the smaller mines have been doing their very best to help out during this scarcity but their production is naturally lim- ltcd.

He said that Hon, C. D. Howe, and also the coal dealers in this province, through public advertis- ments had many months ago warned people to secure their winter supply of coal, and un- fortunately many persons had not heeded this suggestion.

Reports from Alberta indicated dealers there had no coal stocks on hand at present.
