Tfeesult of the election in Prince Edward Island yestefday presents no surprise. As a matter of fact, it waljpretty much as might have been expected. The LiberKgovernment is still in office with: a commanding majority. The Conservative Progressives have, apparently, won eight or ten seats out of a house of thirty, gaining from the sole three they had. in the last house. This should be a matter of some satisfaction to the party which is endeavoring to rejuvenate itself. The C. C. P, whicn entered the campaign late, and was. not expected to make much of a showing, failed to elect any of its nine candidates. While it was interesting, the contest in the little New Military Policy Tjhe reduction of Canada's home defence operational military force by some twenty thousand men, as announced this week by Col. J. L. Ralston; minister oTnational defence, in a move which involves the disbanding of the seventh and eighth divisions and partial disbandment of the sixth division, is but another indication of the shifting tide of war. It marks Local Radio Situation ... tye had been led to believe that well' before this time; the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation would havd finally acquired the local broadcasting station and iconnected it up directly with the national net-wort. That wa3 the assurance that Ira Dilworth, regional director, gave us last December when he came here! and announced that the- O.B.C. had "come to Prinfce Rupert." The neonle of Prince.

ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.G.A. AND Y.W.C.A. By DOROTHY QARBUTT The ladies of the Coast Battery Auxiliary are holding another dance next Monday night in aid of their overseas cigarette fund. In view of this the following letter they rece'lved In ao knowledgment of, cigarettes should be of Interest. It goes, to 1 show that the fags really do get there. It's from Lance Corporal iV. D. Blackstock who writes: "Once again I want to thank (you for the cigarettes which 1 1 j have Just received from you and (.as. I've said, before these gifts, are welcomed at all times. "A bit about our life here. As jyou know England Is by no means famous for Its sunshine. When we do gel a bit of sunshine, well, the army steps in and from their point of view take advantage of it. by working the life out of us. However, we're enjoying ourselves and soon we i hope to be over there doing our , s h a r e of it. . . . In closing 1 1 svant to thank vou all again for the wonderful work you are all doing and we soon hope to show you our thanks with a bang!" Isn't there some axiom about the cobbler's wife always going aboutiin shoes that need mend-. Ing? Well, I don't Just know how. it applies here but, for a while before I left, I was busy asking fpr electric irons for the service girls. And now our own iron has vanished. Too bad, because- the service wives got a great deal of use out of it but I suppose someone felt they needed it more than we did. Two old tlnvrs of last year are back with us permanently and both are now stationed out at the Highway simps Carl Clay and Padre GarbuU. Last surpr mer the three of us used to take in the odd midnight show at. the islan4rovince failed to provide any new significance capito! after the hut was closed of importance in the general political picture of the ' Dominion. Z r M - . Housing Committee, Resigns ... llie local advisory committee of Wartime Housing Ltd.rconsisting of responsible local ciitizens, has resigned because, it says, it was not consulted on matters Svhich rightfully should have been taken up with it aiil in connection with which; it believes it could havtSgiven helpful advice. It is to be supposed that the Committee would not have gone to the length of resigning in a body unless it felt that the situation had become Intolerable and that it could not function usefally under the circumstances. K. as it pwromsts the committee was virtually ignored, it certainly is justified in protesting but it is reprettable that the protest had to be accompanied with the extreme action of asking to be relieved' of its duties. A" local committee could give valuable advice and it is a pity thatjsuch advice should not be accorded full opportunity of presentation and due consideration. I wonder if we'll get up ambi tion enough to do. it. again, I doubt lt, transportation prob lems to the camps being what they they are. are. But But it's it's them back rk again. no-Tin LETTERBOX Consider Employer's Editor, Daily News: In connection with the report of proceedings at the Waitresses Meeting appearing in your, valuable paper of yesterday's date, The last of the second, paragraph should have read:"He ex horted the Members to treasure and protect their accomplishments by always giving due consideration to their employer's, .as well as 'their own point, of view."

It does not mean that there will be any lessening in the need or dpmand for first class men for the fighting forces. Thewar must be over before it will be safe to make any assumption like that.

Each ticket of the 400 sold at three gulnsas each, carried the patron's name and address, followed by this Inscription: "Admit bearer to the inner ring on Tuefday, Oct. 27, 1808, within 50 miles of London. This day Is called the Feast of St. Crispin," To evade the police, an arena could be erected only durlne darkness and the night before the contests. Bill Qibbons, ex pert constructor of make-shift rings, was given the Job. He demurred until a special bodyguard of 60' men was mustered to protect him from the police and rowdies. For his risk he insisted that every ticket holder admitted to the inner ring pay h'm an additional 12 shillings Tne story is that Lord Byron, 'he poet, was among the ticket holders but had nothing to substantiate his, identity when alled upon. Four paid toughs bustled, h'm frn the enclosure. Byron retaliated and was giving ?ood account of himself when "I'bbons recognized him and intervened!
