$3 per year, FOURTEEN PAGES \u2019 e Driver is Brutally Slain Bandits Rob Can.Bank of Commerce at Ormstown Body of Taxi Driver Found at Franklin, Thrown Over Bridge Lucien Brunette Robbed by Two Young M Who Called His Taxi on Sunday Night 8 en One of the most intensive manhunts that this district has seen in a number of years was catapulted on Monday morning when news reached Huntingdon that a taxi driver and his taxi were missing and foul play was suspected.The finding of the taxi with blood spattered over the seats and inside the roof as well as a pool on the floor heightened the tension that the driver had met an untimely end.The fear on the part of the taxi driver's wife for the safety of her husband was what started the hunt for the missing man and his taxi.Lucien Brunette, who has been in the taxl business in Huntingdon for about two years and who recently completed the building of a garage on Lake Street, was the victim of a particularly savage attack.According to word from relatives, Mr.Brunette was called on Sunday evening about 9.30 to pick up a fare near the Chateau and left the house to answer the call.Not knowing where he was to take his passengers, his wife became worried when he did not return by the early hours of Monday morning and called up several places where he might have been.She was informed that he picked up two men at about 9.30 the previous night.At about 6 a.m.on Monday she became more worried and called up a brother, Nelson Brunette, and told him of her fears and that her husband had not returned.She also called another relative, Rosario Taillefer and told him of the mai- ter.The two men began making enquiries and found a clue as to where the trip had been made, and it was to the district of the Gore.It was ascertained that the name of the passengers was Patenaude and with this information Mr.Leo Brunette spoke to Mr.Charlie Kyle and he had an idea of perhaps where the Patenaudes might be found and told him to come along with him.They went out to the Bush Road near the Gore Road and to the Beaudway farm which has been abandoned for some years.The Patenaudes live a short distance away from this farm on the Gore Road.On approaching the Beaudway farm, the Brunette taxi was espied in a barn on the place.The car had been run into the barn and the doors left open.On looking over the car it was found that there were bloodstains on it and foul play was immediately in the men\u2019s minds.They immediately notified Chief J.L'Heureux at Huntingdon and he came out to the scene.He checked over the car and also looked over the buildings around the farm for any chance of the taxi driver being in them or perhaps the culprits being in hiding.Chief L'Heureux notified the Provincial police and officers were dispatched from Montreal.Meantime two other men interested in finding Brunette had gone to the Patenaude home to ask it anyone had seen him.After making a few enquiries they saw a bloodstained shirt and asked the woman about it and if they could have it.She refused at first, but they offered to buy it and paid her 75¢ for it.Two young boys were questioned by the men and they told that their brother Gervin Pat- enaude and his friend Kenneth Bevin, had spoken of going to pull something big.They said that the two young men had gone out and they had no money, but when they returned they had a lot of money.They came in quite late at night and made much noise.They had left with their father, Elmer Pat- enaude, earlier that morning and gone into Huntingdon, as they were going to Montreal.The two boys were taken by the searchers to Huntingdon for further questioning and held at the Chief\u2019s office.Search parties were organized and they searched for clues that would lead them to finding the missing driver and perhaps the two men who had ordered the taxi.The car was found about 11.30 am.In the afternoon, Mr.Francois Cleyn, President of Leach Textiles Ltd.and Spinners Ltd., Hunting- don, called a number of his employees together and organized search parties out of them and led them in the search.Lucien Bruet- te was a foreman in the employ of these mills and thus their anxiety to do all they could to discover what had happened to him.The search parties continued on Tuesday from 8 a.m.on.CALL THAT BANK ROBBED Meantime a call came in from Ormstown that the Canadian Bank of Commerce at that point had been held up and robbed of between $700.and $800.The Provincial police received this call almost as soon as they had received the first call to Huntingdon and a large number of them arrived in the district about 1.30 p.m.with Detective Lieut.Marcel Patenaude of Homicide, Montreal, in charge and assisted by Lieut.Gaston Archambault.The search went on for the bank robbers and it was soon thought that the bank robbery and the missing taxi driver could be linked together as being the work of the same gang.TRACING MOVEMENTS OF CULPRITS In order to give our readers a and later came back to Ormstown, better picture of the story of this hideous crime we transgress from the taxi story to the one on the bank robbery to show the movements of the culprits.When Pat- enaude and Bevin arrived in Huat- ingdon at around seven o'clock in the morning of Monday, they engaged a taxi from the Vets\u2019 Taxi Stand to drive them to Montreal.They were left in Montreal it seems apparently with the intention of robbing the bank there.They were seen around before the robbery took place and eyed as suspicious characters.Having held up the bank and robbed it of the sum of between $700.and $800, the two youths hired Bill Hooker's taxi and forced him to drive them in the direction of Montreal and then de- Continued on page 7 HELD FOR BANK ROBBERY AND MURDER FORCED TO DRIVE ARMED BANDITS Pens BILL HOOKER -0- The two youths arrested this week for bank robbery and murder of Taxi Driver, Lucien Brunette, seemed to have a liking for taxis to ride in.They hired at least three different taxis, if not four, in their daring escapades which implicated them in murder and robbery.Bill Hooker shown above, was the taxi driver they hired to take them to Montreal, after they had held up the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Ormstown, on Monday.But while on the way he was ordered at gun point to change his course several times until the youths were in the vicinity of their home.It was a most unpleasant experience in the light of the crime the youths had committed a few hours previously at somewhere near the spot they left his taxi.As Bill Hooker told The Gleaner, It makes a fellow stop and think.Annual Christmas Concert at Elgin Presbyterian Church The annual Christmas closing of the Elgin Presbyterian Sunday School was held in the Church Basement on Friday evening.The pictures which had been secured for the evening had to be held over until Tuesday evening as it was impossible to get a projector.A framed diploma for Memory Work was presented to Billy Mc- Donald; also certificates to Douglas Berends, Beverly McCracken and Dennis Rochon.Burning Bush Pins for Church attendance were presented to Bobby.David and Evelyn Macfarlane, Billy, Jimmy, Tommy and Ann Steele.Santa Claus put in his appearance and distributed candy to all the children, as well as gifts.Mr.Grace, on behalf of the Junior Boys\u2019 Class, presented Mrs.W.F.Mc- Donald with a lovely Book of Praise with music.Refreshments were served at the close, Four more boys of the Sunday School received their Burning Bush Pins on Sunday at the morning service.Mr.Grace presented these to Billy and Ronnie MacDonald, Billy and Wilbert MacFarlane.Story of Murder Told By Two Boys at Inquest Premeditated Plan Made to Rob and Kill For Easy Money On Tuesday evening at the County Court House, Dr.J.R.Mc- Ewen, district coroner, opened the inquest into the death of Lucien Brunette, whose beaten body was found on Tuesday at Donnelly's 4 | Bridge, near Franklin Centre.Jur- rors were Messrs.G.McLean, R., Rolfe, Wm.Harvey, }.C.Moore, R.Proudfoot and Lionel Dorals.Conducting the inquest were Lieuten- ant-detective Marcel Patenaude of the Provincial Police and A.Me- loche, court advoeate of Valleyfield.Mr.Meloche acted as interrogator.The first to be called for testimony was Mr.Nelson Brunette, age 28, brother of the deceased.He said that he had last seen his brother alive at 8 p.m.Sunday evening at the station.He told of the conversation he had had and said that he knew the accused, Pate- naude and Bevin, but only by sight.The next to testify was medico- legal expert, Dr.J.M.Roussel of Montreal, who before a crowded court roofn stated that Brunettes death had been caused by haemorrhage over the brain with laceration of the brain following multiple blows of a round, blunt instrument about 1 inch In diameter.The victim had been dead at least 12 to 15 hours at the time of his examination.At this point Kenny Bevin was called and sworn.After being warned that anything he said might be used against him, Bevin in a clear, steady voice said, \u201cI wish to Funeral of Lucien Brunette Friday Morning The Gleaner is informed by members of the family of the Late Lucien Brunette, that the funeral for this unfortunate victim of the recent tragedy will be held on Friday morning at 10 o'clock, at St.Joseph's Church.Skating Rink To Open After Repairs Made Decision Reached at Recently Held Meeting Huntingdon Skating Rink is going to operate this winter.Ice is now being made,\u2018 but the rink will not open up until repairs have been completed.It was a question as to whether the rink should be opened up at all this year, or just save the money that will have to be spent.The meeting on Wednesday evening was unanimous that Hunting- don must have the rink open this winter \u2018and that repairs be made so that it will be safe.The feeling is that the rink has served its day and that 1950 will have to be a year when a new arena can be made a reality.Some of the flooring and six bents are in need of repair.Fortunately the Skating Rink has $880 in the treasury.It was also decided that no increase be made in the price of season tickets or admissions over that charged last winter.The directors of the Huntingdon Skating Rink are: Albert Antoine, | Douglas McGerrigle, Gordon Ferry.Wm.R.Boyd and John Cluf.At [the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was extended the Director- |ate for the services accorded in the past.| i R.O.P.Records | Worthwhile to Farmer LA new plan of ROP.records is now in effect and it would pay farmers who do not already eep these records to do so, or at least to make enquiries about them.Under the new plan no weighing is required, the record being computed from the inspector\u2019's weights.The inspector visits the farm once a month, weighs and tests each cow's milk, reports his findings to the Central R.O.P.office In Ottawa and leaves a copy with the farmer.The following records were all received by Henry Wilson & Son, Franklin Centre, in November, on their Ayrshire herd and is a very fine showing for a herd just maintained under conditions that any good farmer can duplicate, tell the truth.\u201d Then he began the sordid tale of robbery and murder which had shocked the entire countryside.\u201cSunday at noon we (Patenaude and Bevin) were driven to town .we went to the show in the afternoon.At night we went to the other theatre.About 10 my friend Gervin Patenaude took me down to \u2014's garage to borrow a hammer.\u201d In complete detail Bevin related that they explained to the man in charge they wished to borrow a hammer because the brakes on their \u2018car\u2019 were jammed.Afterwards they went to a restaurant near the theatre on the main street to phone for a taxi.Patenaude did the talking.There was a ten-minute wait before Lucien Brunette appeared.Both youngsters got in the car and were seated in the back with Pate- naude directly behind the driver.They drove to Franklin Centre.At this point Bevin said, in a tone hardly differing from the steady manner in which he testified, \u201cI think I am going to faint.\u201d He was taken immediately from the court room.Gervin Patemade was then questioned.An attempt was made to establish the time of the murder, exactly how it was carried out, the scene of the crime and what was done with the body.His testimony, however, was confused.Patenaude seemed to be unable to concentrate and frequently misunderstood the questions.As soon as Bevin returned, he was allowed to sit down only to stare into space as if hardly realizing what was happening to him.Bevin continued the story.\u201cWhen we got to Franklin Centre we told the driver to stop.As soon as he stopped, Gervin hit him with the hammer 3 times.Then we pulled him into the back seat .I sat in front and we drove (with Patenaude at the wheel) to that bridge and Gervin pulled the body out of the car and told me to hit htm.(Brunette at that time, as subsequent testimony revealed, was still breathing).I hit him about twice on the forehead.Then we slid the body down the bank.\u201d He- also said that Patenaude haa taken Brunette's wallet.One of the jurors then asked if Brunette had shown any resistance, to which Bevin explhined that the victim had been taken by surprise.Question: \u201cThen the man had no chance?\u201d Answer: \u201cHe had no chance.\u201d Bevin next went on to tell that they had driven along highway 52.They stopped to throw the hammer into the cedars a few miles before Herdman\u2019s Corners and again later to divide the money from the wallet.The youngsters then proceeded to hide the car, The next morning they left for Huntingdon where they hired a taxi to take them to Montreal, and at a sporting-goods store they bought shells for two pistols which Bevin stated his friend had taken from his employer's home.Bevin After Ro Woman Warns Bank of Suspicious Character A woman with her suspicions aroused, no doubt saved the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Ormstown from being robbed of a greater amount of money than was taken by Gervin Patenaude and Kenneth Bevin, the two armed robbers who held up the bank on Monday noon.The two youths had entered the store operated by Mrs.Schmidt and purchased several articles, among them some bandana handkerchiefs which one of them tled around his neck.It is not known what aroused the woman's suspicions, but when the boys left the store she immediately called the bank of- ficlals and warned them to take care.\u2018This warning caused the assistant manager, Roy Urquhart, to put all the money except Lhat in the teller's cash drawer, into the vaults and he locked the doors.When the robbers entered the bank only Raymond Laroche, the teller and Miss Lucille Beaudin were in the bank, the assistant manager was oul t® lunch and the manager, Mr.R.F, Corkran was away attending a meeting of bankers at Toronto.Mrs.Schmidt's warning also helped police to be on the alert they were able to spot the bandits in the car driven by Bill Hooker as lL was leaving town.then described, how they had gone back to Ormstown, sent for the taxi of Wm.Hooker, proceeded to rob the local bank and of the chase that followed.Asked when he had planned the killing, Bevin said that they had thought of it more or less on the spur of (he moment on Bunday afternoon.He also said, however, that as early as December 4th, Patenaude had asked, \"Do you want to make some easy money?\u201d Bevin had answered, \"Yes.\" Bevin had testified in a clear, steady manner and with perfect calmness.There was no trace of defiance or bravado in his tone whatsoever.He was cooperative and took pains to answer in every detail the questions that were put to him.One had the impression that he had come to realize that his crime against society must be pald for Shortly afterwards Mr.Meloche interrupted the testimony to say that he thought the jury had been given enough evidence and they were requested to retire for a verdict.They did so.In a matter of minutes, however they returned and Mr.Rolfe rose to say that it had been unanimously decided that the two boys were criminally responsible for the death of Lucien Brunette and should be sent for trial.FINDING OF THE BODY OF LUCIEN BRUNETTE AT 2 i ei rm ne bbing Bank, Bandits\u201d Force Taxi-man to Drive Them Get Away With Between $700 and $800 \u2014 Captured After Two-Day Chase in Bush Country As Huntingdon was in hunt for a missing taxi and the throes of an intensive taxi driver, Ormstown suddenly loomed into the news with the story that the Canadian Bank of Commerce had been held up and robbed by armed bandits.Another hunt was on and one that tied itself in with the first one and to a certain extent showed daring in the committing of two acts in a few short hours.But at first the two stories did not connect up and it was not until the developments unfolded that the link was shown.Provincial police were on both cases in short time and Onnstown was alerted to the need to keep on the look out.It was not until a little after 1 p.m.that news reached Hun- tingdon that a robbery had occurred at the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Ormstown and the facts became known.The robbery occurred at about 1220 noon when two armed men walk- cd into the bank and command- od the teller, Raymond Laroche, to hand over the mone

could make a quick trip to Montreal.He told them that he could, but he wanted to finish eating his dinner first.To this the pandits agreed and calmly waited in the taxi while he finished his meal which was about len minutes.He had no idea that they had robbed the bank a few doors away.Having finished his meal, he went out to the taxi and drove away toward Montreal.It was not until he had gone about two miles that he realized that all was not as It should be.One of the men sat on the seat beside him while the other sat in the back seat.As he was driv- rond and got out, $50 each and telling ng along he saw à revolver com- and other gun pointed at his ribs.He was told to drive, and drive ast.up to the back of hls head e man at hls side had an- He was instructed to drive toward Howick and then to Aubrey, lo St.Chrysostome, back to St.Antoine Abbe and to Herd- man's Corners, down to the Gore and then turned right up the Rockburn sideroad.When the trio reached St.Antoine Abbe, another of Bill Hooker's cabs was seen to be following the one in which the owner was driving.Thus It was that when the two men noticed this that they had Hooker stop his cab on the alde- ying him im to stay until they got out of sight and to keep his mouth shut.ORMSTOWN POLICE GET TIP-OFF Mrs.Schmidt, storekeeper in ing afraid of hitting Bill Hook- Ormstown, had tipped off of- ficlals at the bank and the police that two suspicious looking characters had bcen In the restaurant and to be on the lookout.The Assistant Bank Manager, Roy Urquhart, had taken the precaution to lock up all the money except

Canadien tarm income has tripled; Canadian external trade has about quadrupled in value and doubled in volume, In short, Canada has never been in a better position to face whatever adjustments may be necessary in our economic life.During a period of adjustments Canada has maintained a higher level of investment, production, employment and a real standard of living than ever before.\u2018|Canada is now third place among the nations of the world in exports of manufactured goods.In short Canada has come of age, industrially, within the past eight years.\u201d \u201cI have made some enquiries about Canada's primary textile industry.I was not surprised that Canadians are among the world's largest consumers of fabrics and yarns.I was, however surprised to find out that Canada rates first in the per capita consumption of woollen goods and first as an importer of cotton textiles.I have a feeling that the average Canadian underrates the importance of the textile industry in Canada.Since 1939 our domestic production has gone up three times and our imports have gone up about four times.\u201d Mr, Mansur went on to describe the spectacular growth of our manufacturing capacity and said that our iron and steel industry since 1939 has expanded 70%.In addition there has been better Integration of Canadian Industry.\u201cCanadian manufacturing industries have become important users of one ano- thers\u2019 products.Over 200 products which were formerly imported are now being produced in Canada.With all this Canada remains an important market for imported machinery and equipment.\u201d Mr.Mansur then outlined the natural resources of this country laying stress on the oll discoveries of Alberta, our low-cost hydro, our forests and farms and our great mineral resources.He said that Canada was endowed with natural resources equalled by few countries of the world.\u201cGreat progress has been made in improving managerial efficiency and know-how and the skill of our working force.Canadian industrialists are gaininz new confidence in their ability to undertake new and larger enterprises.\u201d He sald that Canadians need have no inferiority complex when comparing themselves with the US.A.\u201cWe are matching the States; Canadian manufacturers feel that they can do a better job than the States.\u201d Mr.Mansur explained the Government's policy towards Canadian industry as one which adopted a high level of employment and income as its major aim involving ev- ery effort to create favorable condi- BETVETELIEBLEVETEBELTEATEILOCUIELTET + p AT XLT XO Jewellery Store O'Connor Bldg.(R.Villeneuve, Prop.)

initiative, experience and resourcefulness of private business can contribute to the expansion of business and employment.Among new developments which are and will be of great importance to Canadian economy, Mr.Mansur mentioned the large oil discoveries of Alberta stating that they may soon have enough petroleum to be- Next, he discussed Newfoundland, describing his visit to Canada's newest province and emphasizing that Canada has acquired a proud and hand-working people.Finally Mr.Mansur touched upon the untold wealth of iron ore now being developed in Northern Quebec and Labrador.In summarizing Canada's economic picture, Mr, Mansur said that this country has a national income of 15 billion dollars.The sources of this income are as follows: 20% from exports, 20% from capital investment, 60% from internal trade.80% of our national income is paid out in the form of wages, dividends, ete, while 20% is absorbed by taxes and depreciation.The export situation presents a weak spot in the picture.First, the US.A.who buy from us are one of our best customers.Our export market is affected strongly by conditions below the border.Secondly a great deal depends on the United Kingdom.\u2018The British are having a hard time to maintain purchases in this country.I realize that in a community like this there may be some apprehension about the sterling devaluation.I think it is almost as simple ag this: The British are having to trade textiles for cheese.Whereas cheese men will be most willing to sell their product, the textile men will not be so happy to have goods pushed into this country in order that the British can buy cheese.The textile picture is not at all certain.\u201d In conclusion, Mr.Mansur sald, \u201cWe have a changed Canada as of 1939 .in my opinion a very much \u2018better Canada.One of the troubles we sometimes hear about, namely our two great cultures, .are indeed a heritage welding into some- |thing better than other countries

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1949 PAGE FIVR Editorial Notes.A Celebration it Will Be HE Summer of 1950 marks the 125th anniversary of Huntingdon.To mark the event a celebration is to be held and such event is to be made a reality under the direction and supervision of the Board of Trade.Junior Chamber of Commerce and Hunting- don Branch of the Canadian Legion.The beneficiary of the celebration will be the community at large, as the proceeds are to go into a fund with a view to building an arena or community center.It is quite probable that when plans and estimates are obtained for the contemplated structure, it will represent a large sum of money.When such an announcement is made we are not to take fright but measure up to the responsibility and meet the situation.This community has been loyal to Canada in time of war, but up to the moment it has not erected any type of public memorial to \u201cThe Fallen\u201d of World War II.Such a community center or arena can very fitlingly be called a War Memorial and \u2018hereby be open to receive financial contributions for such.There is a recovery of financial investment in property that most likely would be sold if adequate accommodation can be accorded in the proposed new building.It will depend upon the site selected for the structure as to whether grant monies can be anticipated from other quarters.Within a few weeks time the celebration committee will be named.They in turn will formulate plans to be carried out in the interval of time.This newspaper will endeavour to keep the public at large well informed.The public at large will have just as big a roll to play as anyone else for they in turn will have to use their influence to induce a countless number of sons, daughters and friends to Huntingdon for the 125th anniversary of Huntingdon, next summer.The entertainment programme will naturally have to be heavy, and here again is where ihe public will have to lend its helping hand.If the community at large lags in giving the project generous support it will be a failure and no arena or community center would be possible.From past experiences, and as was demonstrated in 1925 we would say Hunting- don people will be unanimous in promoting the event so as to be a Success.A Skating Rink is Needed HE Huntingdon Skating Rink has served Huntingdon and community for 42 years.The state of the building today is such that it costs too much money each year to put it in a safe condition for each winter's use.Furthermore, the building is much to small for such public events as hockey matches, figure skating programs and masquerades, ete.With the marked change that has taken place in winter seasons in the past 42 years it is very essential that artificial ice be incorporated into the arena, but the present arena is not worth having such an expenditure made upon it.This community now needs a new skating and hockey rink that has artificial ice.If we had such a rink it is highly probable that it would be but a comparatively few years until the Curling Rink would also want artificial ice and perhaps be built near the proposed new arena so that the same artificial ice plant could serve the two units.The present location of the rinks is not too good.They should undoubtedly be located where the buildings can serve a useful service throughout the entire year.Also be located where there is plenty of parking space for automobiles, in place of just along the town streets.Location, we believe, might well be in the vicinity of the driving course and fair grounds on Highway 52.Such a location would mean the community center would be able to serve a useful purpose for a Fall fair, pomological exhibition, and sporting events at all times of the year.The building should of course provide for a sizeable dining hall where not only large sized gatherings be entertained but dances and programmes that require a stage would be held.As it is to-day, we have no community hall other than two theatres privately owned, St, Joseph's Parish Hall and the Huntingdon Academy High School auditorium.A community Hall can serve the public as none of the foregoing can do.Just Governments TE past few weeks have seen the defeat of two Commonwealth Governments that have been carrying on for some years and with apparent favor.We refer to the Socialist governments of New Zealand and Australia, which have gone down to defeat in recent elections held in those countries.Their defeat leaves only one other National Socialist government in the entire Commonwealth, the Labour Government of England itself.With the jitteriness as to markets and coming out of the red in England to-day and with a general election in that country in 1950, it would seem that this only one will probably be quaking a little.The position of the Labour Government in Great Britain has been considered fairly firm and the chances of it being re-elected good.The uew picture that has loomed appears to have changed the outlook and it may be a different atmosphere that will prevail at the forthcoming election.It would seem from this trend that the people are losing confidence in socialist governments and that they are preferring a type of government which permits more freedom and free enterprise.It may also be a forerunner to opposing the trend of Communism by liquidating the socialist governments one by one.The government in New Zealand has had quite a long run and at first appeared to be doing a good job.So good was the job thought to be, that Australia followed by electing a similar one in that country.Following the war, England too, elected a socialist party.A few years ago rumblings were heard coming from New Zealand and dissatisfaction with regard to the various moves by the government.Despite the apparent dissatisfaction in Australia and New Zealand, England, went ahead and elected a similar government.The present state of affairs in England is often attributed to the legislation put into effect by the socialist government, and other political parties make claim that the state of affairs would never have existed had they been in power.That is something we shall not attempt to argue.In any event it is apparent that a fair trial of the sort of socialist government in these countries has been given and it would seem that it has been found wanting.Closer to home, our own Federal government has ended its session during which time there has been strong condemnation of the Rental Controls, Combines, Housing and Export Markets.Principal criticism has been on the losing of export markets for farm products and the surplus of certain kinds of food stuffs.Agricultural Minister Gardiner has been taking it on the chin for various statements he is supposed to have made.He maintains that Great Britain does not want our food on the official levels, but the British people still like it and want to take it.What is goings to be done about markets is the cry being hurled at the government and it is maintained that the market is right here \u2018at home.Meantime meetings are being held in Ottawa to discover what is going to happen in 1950 to food sales, which are said to be slipping.If Great Britain, considered to be the best market, won't take our products what other great market can bc found to replace her?The United States is a good customer, but she does not want any additional supplies from us.Coming up in 1950 is the provincial conference which Premier Duplessis is interested in and has stated he will attend.Rental controls are uppermost as to this, but the premier says it is up to the Federal Government to settle this point and see the thing through.Thus it looks that our legislators have gone to their homes with plenty to think about over the coming Christmas holidays.Meanwhile in the United States the government there is all agog over the recent disclosures that Russia has been getting A- bomb supplies that should never have left the country.Canada\u2019s Electrical Age HE electrical manufacturing industry in Canada, now the country's fifth ranking industry, has come a long way since its early beginnings in the latter 19th century.In the last 20 years the number of manufacturers of electrical apparatus and supplies has more than doubled; the number of employees has multiplied by two and a half times; and the value of products manufactured has quadrupled.Today there are well over 50,000 employees in the industry drawing more than $100 millions annually in salaries and wages and turning out $450 millions of dollars worth of products every year.Canada, a country without sufficient coal for her needs, is particularly fortunate in having vast resources of water power which have provided the necessary cheap electricity to enable her industries to expand to the present level.It is our additional good fortune that these resources are strategically situated across the country for maximum use both for industry and for the home, and close enough to the country's other resources of minerals and lumber to enable their exploitation.That Canada is taking full advantage of her hydroelectric resources is well illustrated by comparison with other world countries.In spite of her comparatively small population, Canada, with an installed capacity of more than 10 million H.P., is second only to the United States.On a per capita basis, Canada is edged out by Switzerland for the top position in installed hydroelectric capacity.To take care of our present rate of industrial expansion, Canada has, at the present time, plants under construction which will add 3,000,000 H.P., to our present capacity.By 1953, these and other plants planned will bring Canada\u2019s installed hydroelectric capacity up to 15,000,000 H.P.With a water power potential of 32 million H.P., at minimum flow, we still have a great reserve upon which to draw for future needs.For Canada, this is truly the electrical age.Trade Weekly Review When Most Free By LEWIS MILLICAN Flourishes \u201cAll history flourishes where it is most free, and that it soon leaves the nation that testifies that trade | shackles it.\u201d That is a quotation {from an editorial which appeared in {the Hartford (Conn.) Courant of, | August 16, 1809\u2014140 years ago.The [truth of the first part of that statement was confirmed by the way in which British trade flourished in| the nineteenth century after the introduction of Free Trade; and |the truth of the latter part is fully\u2019 demonstrated by what is happening to British trade today under the shackles of Socialism.It is quite true that British trade and commerce is suffering through the loss of markets and capital during the war, and everv allowance |must be made for the great handi- \u2018cap under which she is now strug- Bling to regain her former position in the world.But that would seem to be all the more reason why British industry, trade and commerce should be free from the shackles of bureaucracy.The writer of the editorial, from which the above quotation is taken, cannot be accused of being a propagandist against So- clalism.He was dealing with general human principles, and he continued as follows: \u201cSome men, however, seem to think that commercial industry and enterprise should come under the particular direction of government.But why?On the one hand, there are but few among our rulers and legislators of nations who possess extensive information in mercantile matters; whilst on the other, there are no people that know better how to manage their own concerns than experienced merchants.They best know how, when and where to put their property afloat; they can best! calculate the risks and all the chances of loss and gain.It belongs to government to protect commerce, to guard it by a few general regulations and there leave it.The skill of the merchant will do the rest.\u201d Written 140 years ago, that reads like a bit of prophecy.What the writer then warned against has come to pass to a large extent in Britain today.Wherever it has been applied, nationalization has de-per- sonalized and hampered the management of industry.Economic planning and State trading in raw materials, which were necessary \u2018during the war, have shackled | peacetime private enterprise.For some commodities private trading has been restored; for others the wartime methods go on.The Raw Cotton Commission, which has been working for over a year, is the La- A look into the Gleaner filles for the year 1901 to 1907 shows that in December people were preparing for Christmas with as much enthusiasm as they are now.In addition, we read of cold weather and delayed train service and people were worrying about the high cost of living.Russia was a problem even then.Although Europe seemed a long way off in those days, the seeds of the communist revolution were being sown.In England a newcomer was making a name for himself in polities, Lloyd George.In Huntingdon there were Christmas | parties, charity drives and the Aca- | demy announced that the children ; would be given a two-weeks' holiday.All in all one would be forced to conclude that despite the atom bomb and the cost-of-living index, the modern world hasn't given us SO many new problems after all.November 28, 1901\u2014This Sunday as a son and daughter of Mr.Jas.Stark were returning from church, | the horse took fright and bolted, throwing the occupants out onto a | snowbank.At the time a train was crossing Trout River bridge southwards.The frightened animal rushed up to the track just as the last car was clearing the road, an instead of going down the \u201cdump\u201d, turned and followed the train across the bridge.Like all railway bridges there is a space between the ties: without making a mistep and made for its master's yard.The horse is surely meant for the circus.December 12, 1901\u2014Howick\u2014An exhibition of moving pictures was presented in the hall last week which gave much

Government's one experiment in State buying as a permanent policy.This Commission replaced the free market on the Liverpool Cotton Exchange, and the Government promised that by bulk buying \u2018spinners will be assured of a long-term stability in the prices of their materials.\u201d .In actual practice, according to the Manchester Guardian, \u201cthe Commission has altered its price- list seventeen times in one year\u2014 this apart from minor adjustments.The changes in the list have been generally widespread.On the Liverpool futures market, of course, prices used to vary from minute to minute\u2014and by what now look very small margins of a few hundredths of a penny per pound.\u201d In comparing the operations of the two systems, the Guardian says that State trading has not assured any particular stability, and that in many mills output has been reduced and quality sertously lowered by the necessity of using unsuitable cotton purchased by the Commission.\u2018The reasons for the failure of nationalization and State trading were summed up by a former member of the British Labor Party, Alfred Edwards, M.P,, in these words: \u201cThe Labor Party suffers from the curious illusion that the government possesses some magical power for planning industry.This goes with the delusion that capitalist industry is planless, The Labor idea of planning is to put some young lady or gentleman from the London School of Economics, without any practical experience, to directing some of our greatest industries.And their plans, put into blueprint form, are carried out by a group of civil servants and Labor politicians.We are learning rather painfully that the men who operate our great industries under private ownership do have brains of a sort\u2014the kind needed to run Industry.\u201d That 1s exactly what the- writer of the above-quoted editorial said 140 years ago\u2014\u2018 \u2018There are no people that know better how to manage their own concerns than experienced merchants.\u201d Sir Stafford Cripps implied the same thing in! his address on sterling devaluation | when he said: \u201cI appeal most ear- Inestly and with all my strength to our manufacturers and exporters to redouble their efforts to sell their goods in dollar markets.\u201d In reply, the manufacturers might well appeal to Sir Stafford to trust their ability to buy the raw materials which go to make the goods they have to sell.Glimpses of the Past From Gleaner Files Christmas a plum pudding, a pint of beer and a quarter pound of tobacco.December 19, 1901\u2014Owing to

Minister St.Laurent, could be sent to jail for seven years as accessories after the fact.Mr.St.Laurent, backing up Mr, Garson, sald the report was not published within 15 days as required by law

criticism was centred on a section of the crime comics bill that makes distributors and news dealers of such publications subject to up to two years imprisonment on conviction.Senator Arthur Roebuck

was finally defeated and the bill passed unchanged.New Conference There will be no lack of conferences in Ottawa during the coming weeks.Reconstruction Minister Winters announced in the Commons he has

for a whole month there were no toys made, no radios, or gifts and no presents packed of any kind.Well, that wasn't so bad but the trouble is we had a coal shortage too \u2014 had to cut production for 3 weeks in order to save the supply.I'm afraid \u2014 yup, I'm afraid that there's going to be a shortage of Christmas presents this year.\u201d Santa bowed his head.\u201cDon\u2019t know what to do.\u201d | Santa was depressed.Fortunately, however, it was not for long.\u201cLook Santa,\u201d said our Gleaner reporter.\u201cThere are all kinds of gifts right here in Huntingdon.Why not visit some of the stores and build up your stock.There are enough presents in the Huntingdon stores lo keep the North Pole warehouse filled for the next fifty years!\u201d Santa's face brightened.\u201cSnowballs and icicles,\u201d he cried, \u201cthat might be a firecracking good idea!\u201d Giving his reindeers a touch of the whip (something he rarely does, except in cases of emergency) Santa Claus sped down Chateauguay Street.Stopping in front of Stanley Currie\u2019s, he was out of his sled like a bullet and inside the door so fast that he nearly crashed into an array of radios of every description.Before the clerk in charge could catch his breath, the jolly old gentleman had bought enough record albums to keep the whole North American continent in music for at least a century.But there was no time to lose.Santa bolted down to the Mademofselle Dress Shop, picked up a flock of stunning nylon blouses and women's housecoats, and then darted across the street to Webber's where dozens of dazzling ladies\u2019 wristwatches were on display.At Braithwaite\u2019s there was English china and Portuguese glass.After spending a few moments among the countless Christmas items there, Santa dashed across the street and.without noticing where he was going.had trotted right to the rear of what he thought was a store before he found that he had very nearly slipped on one of the alleys of the Hunting- don Bowling.The old man stayed long enough to admire the wonderful facilities there and decided that when he had time \u2014 rheumatism or not \u2014 he wouid return for a game or two.Santa soon found the store he was looking for, Demers; he didn't leave until he bought a complete line of their nylon shirts \u2014 shirts that never need pressing.Then he was off direction of Mr.J.B.MacMillan.These singers have won much acclaim for themselves and the concert is expected to be as good if not better this year.In addition to the well-known Christmas selections, it has been announced that they will present a number of new ones this year.\u2018Those who attend are ensured that the evening will be an enjoyable one.-0- Donations to County Hospital.The following donations to the Huntingdon County Hospital have been received during the past week: Athelstan Women\u2019s Association, $20.;

He only intended to stay a few moments but he was there an hour! He came away well pleased.Over at the Empire Garage, the manager put a special car |at Santa's disposal, one of their ' new 1950 Fords.Immediately Santa made up his mind to get a car to use when his reindeers got tired.At Brown's, there was jewellery of every description; Santa stocked up and left the store dazzled by tne splendid silverware there.The Diane Fur Shop had some beautiful minks and Persian lambs while F.Lefebvre had all kinds of ties and sweaters to offer.For hats and hose Santa went to Miss McGinn\u2019, The Elite Dress Shop had an amazing line of dresses and nylon lingerie.Over at Rolfes Santa found exactly what he had been looking for, Christmas tree lights and he told the manager that he was pleased that they had taken such pains to stock up on this very important Christmas item.The Electrical Home showed Santa an array of lamps with washable shades and, if he could have gotten it into nis bag Santa would have taken one of their wonderful, new electric stoves.Then Santa dashed down to Luxor jewelery store and saw that they had some very high-quality diamonds.At this point the old man wondered if he hadn\u2019t been neglecting the men somewhat, so he called on Zabitsky's for a smart line of shirts and other male items.Passing by Marchand\u2019's Santa was stunned by the exciting window display there and went in to admire their chesterfield sets and modern stoves.On the other side W.E.Lefebvre had a line of luggage for men and women that would be the pride of anyone making a trip and down at Huntingdon Motors there were Maple Leaf trucks and Santa was informed that they expected to have the latest Chevrolet-Oldsmo- bile cars in soon.Before Santa went to the War Surplus Store where he knew he would find gifts to suit any budget and everything needed by the working man.he stopped in at Tedstone\u2019s for lunch.Before he left, he couldn't resist buying a loaf of their tasty home-made bread.Finally Santa made his way towards the Chateau where he thought he would rest a moment in their comfortable lounge but as he passed the O'Connor Theatre he paused to look at the marvelous program of movies coming there in the next few weeks.The following day, the old man settled where he belonged amid the toys and gifts at the General 5c-$1.Store.He is there now for all to see.Meanwhile the coal and wood dealers of Hunting- don have kindly agreed to supply all the needs at the North Pole and Santa Claus is glad to report that the toy-makers up there are working at the peak of production.Thanks to the merchants of Hunt- ingdon, there will be no shortage of presents this year.As a final word, Santa Claus told the Gleaner reporter that he hoped people would realize what a tremendous load the post office department is bearing at Christmas time.He said that cards and gifts should be sent early.Collection .DIN The Grill, Price $1.00 for Come in and have a ROAST CHICKEN DINNER this Sunday at For

past four years, there has been a 40 per cent increase in the number of telephones in service in Huntingdon, and the number of local calls per day has risen by 15 per cent, L.Moise, Bell Telephone manager for this region, said today in reviewing the record-breaking post-war demand for service which has required the addition of especially made and costly\u2019 equipment.Long distance calls originating here have increased by more than 30 per cent in the same period, he sald.\u2018There are now more than 1,700 telephones in use In Huntingdon as compared with some 1,200, four years ago.Local calls average 8,100 per day against 7,000, and long distance oalls have reached a daily average of 340, or 80 more than in 1945.In order to meet this unprecedented demand for service, the company has continuously improved and enlarged its facilities.In November, 1847, an extension to the dial exchange \u2014 opened in December 1940 provided terminals for 400 Page Seven 400 More Telephones In Use Since 1945 Total Now in Use 1,700 \u2014 Average Number Of Local Calls Per Day Now 8,100 : necessary to meet the demand.In spite of this vast improvement program, which has resulted in the addition of over 500 telephones tm | four years, there are still about T0 applicants waiting for service here, Mr.Moise said.The constructio) land rebuilding of outside wire icable facilities in rural areas is ex- \u2018pected to reach a high level within the next few years, and the instal lation of additional dial equipment is scheduled.Huntingdon Locals Post Office Asks Consideratioy Due

new and decidedly flourishing clubs is the Ski Club, which now has 15 members with Miss Norma Hall as instructor.She is being assisted by Peter Rose, who is already a fine skier.The club has one scheduled meeting per week and sometimes has an extra meeting if conditions warrant it.Anyone watching these young enthusiasts cannot but realize that they are having great fun and acquiring skill in this rather exacting sport.Plans are being discussed for an interscholastic meet and practice hours seem short when members see before them the possibilities of a trip to one of the New York State Ski Trails.Club members are: R.Chaffee, A.Cook, Pat Curtin, G.Hyland, G.Iby, H.Johnson, G.Leach, J.Murray, L.Murray, M.Pearl, B.Perry, A, Parmeter, C.Pezzulo, J.Pilling, P.Rose.Officers are: Pres., Peter

among the girls in the Physical Education classes.The purpose of the club is to train girls to work with their class mates in demonstrating the new procedures to be undertaken by the class.It also gives the members an opportunity to learn at first hand the practical art of leadership.Thus the club serves as a social agency while making it possible for all students to have personal attention not possible if instruction is wholly dependent upon one teacher.Members of the Leaders\u2019 Club are chosen by the vote of class members.Any girl from grades 8-12 is eligible.Following the election, each candidate is checked on 4 points: number of votes received, number of leaders needed by each class, individual scholastic standing, individual motor educability.Rating for the latter qualification is determined by tests given to the candidates.While the last two points are important and while no candidate lacking them will be considered eligible, the top qualification is that the candidate must receive a large number of votes from her classmates, since this vote of confidence automatically gives her prestige when it comes to getting cooperation from her group.The club meets once each week for 45 minutes to learn the new routines for the week.Approximately one leader is chosen for every six pupils, Leaders may also work with elementary grade classes as well as with the group to which they are scheduled.The following girls are members: B.Blow, A.Cook, I.Cook, C.Desgroseilliers, R.Duheme, L.A.Gillette, M.King, J.LaBare, P.LeClair, B.Jones, P.Martin, A.Parmeter,
