Homemakers met at the home of Jean Samells with twelve girls in attendance. The meeting opened by singing the first verse of "Silent Night," and was followed by a prayer. The girls answered the roll-call with each reporting how their fancy sandwiches turned out and an im- portant thing to remember . for good manners. During the business session which followed, Mrs. Boundy invited the girls to enter- tain their mothers at afternoon tea at her home during the Christ- mas holidays. Then the presiednt distributed note books to all the members. Mrs. Cook gave a talk on "After- noon Teas," formal and informal. A vote of thanks was then given to Mrs. Samells and Jean for opening their home to the girls. Mrs. Boundy then demonstrated the making of "Fancy Cookies". The girls ate these with the lunch that * followed. The next meeting will be held on January 8, 1049, at the home of Mrs. Cook The W.A. of the head community met at the home of Mrs. Stew- art Rodman on Wednesday, Dec. 1. The singing consisted of Christ- mas hymns. Many useful gifts for the tea-room were given in response to the roll call. The roll call for January is to be a New Year's resolution from each member.

Lunch was served by Mrs. Donald Gerrow's group. It was decided to have a pot luck supper and bingo during the Christ- mas vacation. The W.A. wishes to thank all that hélped to make this a very success- ful year and hoping every one will work together again this coming year.

His companion, Noel Cloutier, 24, was convicted two weeks ago in the same King's Bench Court before Justice Wilfrid Lazure and was sen- tenced to die March 11, just two weeks before Perreault will walk to the gallows. Last of the trio to face trial is Donald Perreault who is no relation to Douglas. . Donald testified for the Crown at both trials linking Cloutier and Douglas Perreault definitely with the slayings. Henri Monty, chief Crown prose- cutor, in addressing the jury, de- Douglas Perrault Guilty Of Murdering Policemen ferocious killer against whom the proof was "crushingly positive." Donald Perreault told essentially the same story he related at the Cloutier trial. Douglas Perreault and Cloutier out to "a job." He did not know it was a bank holdup. He stopped his car two blocks from the bank and the others got out, Later he heard shooting and drove away. Some time afterwards he tele- phoned Douglas, who said he didn't wish to talk over the telephone. Donald went to Douglas' home a few hours later and consented to drive Douglas to Ottawa. Douglas told him .they were wanted for murder during the drive and suggested they go west "until the affair blows over." They made their way to the west and were arrested in Taber, Alta. scribed Douglas Perreault as a cold, | where they broke into a garage. Prime Minister Mackenzie King, quietly celebrating his 74th birth- day at Laurier House today, pre- sented the picture of a happy man with nothing but pleasant memor- fes of a long and useful life. "It is a great reward," he told this correspondent, "to be able to look back over a long and event- ful life with few regrets, disliking no one and happy in the friend- ship of a host of people all over the world. The former prime niinister was born 74 years ago today in what was then Berlin and it now Kitch- ener. He was leader of the Liberal party from 1919 until last summer when he asked to be relieved. + Except for two interludes aggre- gating little more than five years he was prime minister from 1921 to last Nov. 15 when he handed the office over to his successor in the Liberal .leadership, Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent. Having achieved a record-break- ing term as party leader, and hold- ing the government leadership long- er than any other prime 'minister of a British country, he faced a birthday at last free from any bur- dens of office. He has no plans except for the dinner being given in his honor to- night by the Governor General and Lady Alexander at Rideau Hall. Almost completely recovered from the illness which struck him down in London early this fall, Mr, Ship Pulled From Rocks Alexandria Bay, N.Y. Dec. 17-- (AP)--The steam freighter New York News, which ran aground on a rocky ledge in the St. Lawrence River off nearby Wauwinet Island, was pulled free Thursday night. Coast guardsmen said the vessel will be towed today to Prescott, Ont., where she will enter drydock for repairs, The Daily News, last vessel to ply the St. Lawrence before the close of the navigation ~ season, ran aground - Monday morning in the narrow part of the American chan- nel. The ship was carrying 136,000 bushels of corn from Milwaukee, Wis, to Prescott, Ont. Considerable of the cargo has been removed from the stranded ship by the Pike Salvage Company of Kingston. Lightering operations were scheduled to continue through Thursday night.

But he will have to put on some brakes. Now that he is again feel- ing his old vigor--"I feel as good as I did when I was 30," he said-- he has the urge to be back in har- ness. However, 'he is determined to learn the art of relaxing and en- joyment of time to read and, per- haps, to write. But above all, he said, he looks forward to the op- portunity to cultivate his many friendships and catch up with his correspondence. In the years al.ead he said he would hope to catch up with that part of his life that work made so difficult to cultivate--the pleasure of friendships. correspondence and reading. But first he wants to survey his possessions, great accumulations of papers of historic interest -- some of which will go to the govern- ment--and put his personal affairs in order. Then he may begin to work on a book or two--he dislikes the word "memoirs"'--something that may prove interesting to Canadians and useful to the younger generations willing to give themselves to public service. He is still the member of: the House of Commons for Glengarry and when Parliament meets he hopes to attend with fair regularity to represent his constituents, He said he drove, Radio Berlin Back On Air Berlin, Dec. 17--(AP) ~~ Radio Berlin was doing business at the same old stand again today. Rus- sia's most powerful propaganda voice in Germhany went back on the air .only-12 hours after French forces .had. blown up its giant transmission towers. Soviet © commentator Heinz Schmidt began broadcasting again Thursday night on the same wave length and apparently with the same ' broadcasting power, even though the stations two tall trans- mitting towers lay shattered in the French sector. Radio Berlin's personnel refused to say how they managed it. Ger- man. engineers said they might be using another tower at Potsdam. Schmidt declared in. his broad- cast that an "onder from Washing- ton" -- not the French -- had caused the day-long interruption in sending. Brig.-Gen. Jean Ganeval, French commandant in Berlin, said the towers were dynamited because they menaced American and Brit- ish air-lift planes flying into near- by Tegel airfield. The Russians had ignored a no- tice last month that the demoli- tion would be carried out. Maj-Gen. Alexander Kotikov, the Russian commander in Berlin, protested the French action. He declared the dynamiting was "ille- gal and arbitrary" and said he was not satisfied with explanations that the towers menaced air-lift planes. Taegliche Rundschau, official Soviet Army newspaper, hinted at reprisals. "This barbaric demolition will be entered in future accounts and all necessary conclusions drawn from it," editor S. Timofejew wrote. The Communist-led Socialist Unity Party issued a manifesto to all Berlin workers warning them that "American monopoly-capital and its henchmen" planned "fur- ther sabotage acts." It called on Berliners to insti tute "security measures" in all in- dustrial plants of the Soviet sector to "fight in unity with the Social- ist Unity Party against destroyers of the German capital."
