and by two 'Salyatiou Army 'women
workers who sat with Mrs. Littleehild
through most of the court sessions,
Husband and wife walked from the
court room together.
In dismissing him, Justice Schroed-
er 'told Littlechild ",you are indeed
lueky ,that the jury did not at least
find you guilty of manslaughter. Let
this be a lesson. to you"
Earlier, he told Littlechild: "The
jury have taken a very lenient view of
this ease and you can certainly eon
eider yourself a very Ineky man, The
very sordid story unfolded, reveals
the depths of degradation to which
liquor has •brought you."
In his charge to the jury, Jnstiee
Schroeder had also deplored tbo eft
ieet Liquor had had on the case "We
Mind liquor iu the background of so
many of these most uni'ortunate

Letters to the
Editor
PUBLIC TBANELi---
Tho Editor,
Clinton Nows-Reeord
Dear Sir,
Reports which I have reeoive&from
Postmasters in all parts of the count-
ry shorn that ea-aperation.by the pub-
lic in mailing early at Christmas was
More marked than over this year and
1 would like, on behalf of the Can-
adian Pastel Service, to oxpross to
you and ;the public generally our very
warm appreciation of the assistance
so generously accorded to us.
Once again the volume of Christmas
Mail, parcels and lettere, reaehed new
high levels in most offices. Because
the great majority of patrons, how-
ever, co-operated with the Poet Office
in mailing before or on 19th Decemb-
er, which had been publicized as the
elosiug date, peak' dates in most post
offices oeciurred –on 18th, 19th and
20th December. This enabled our
greatly auganeated staffs to come to
grips with the tremendous volume of
Christuuss'Mail in ample time to ass.
ure delivery before Christmas Day.
In fact, all our reports indicate that
on the day before Christmas all del-
iveries wore back to almost tempi.
I want particularly at this time eo
make grateful acknowledgment of the
assistance extended to us by the news
papers in attaining this gratifying re.
suit. In all parts of the country, the
newspapers gave very generous display
to our announcements and to special
articles on various phases of Post Oft -
ice work, and I am sure that :this pub-
licity played no small part in making
the public eonseious of the need to
mail early,
Please accept my warmest thanks
for help given to us and to the pttblie
in assuring enposlitions haudliug of
the Christmas . malls.
Yours sincerely
Signed W. J. TURNBULL

THIS IS AN
EMERGENCY
...let's treat it
as such!
CANADA is heavily "in the red" in present
trading with the U,S, dollar area. In our total trade with the world we are in
a good position but not in that part which is done with U.S. dollar countries.
Other countries with' whom we do business cannot pay us in full, either in
cash or in goods, far the things they buy from vs.
This situation is made more serious than ever before because so many
countries, our regular customers,,:have not recovered from the war. It may
be some time yet before they pet on their feet sufficiently to help put
'things right. Meantime, we must find ways and means of balancing our
awn books and reducing our U.S. dollar deficit.
There are two things we can do at the moment.:: cut down unnecessary
purchases from the U.S. dollar area and increase our production of goods
That con be sold to those countries to balance accounts. it's an emergency
and should be'treated as such.
TO KEEP OUR INDUSTRIESHUMMING...OUR LIVING STANDARD
HIGH, WE NEED PETROLEUM, .
COAL, COTTON, STEEL
AND SIMILAR ESSENTIAL THiNG$
WE CAN PAY FOR THESE THINGS IF WE CURTAIL
OUR SPENDING ON IMPORTED NON -ESSENTIALS
OR TRIMMINGS :. . AT LEAST FOR AWHILE
-----�--- -YOU AS A CANADIAN CAN HELP
1. Do not order goods by mail from other countries:., do not buy goads to bring
home when you (ravel outside Canada.. Sae also item 2.
2. 1f you feel some purchase is absolutely essential, see your Collector of Customs
and Excise, beforehand, tolearn wherher the item is prohibited.
3. Look for alternatives or substitutes for the items which aro temporarily prohibilods
4. If certain goods seem to be in short supply, do not overlook the poss.bility that
it is seasonal, or merely a local condition, or perhaps brought about by entirely
unnecessary buying.
5. Be sure to obtain the Tariff Item Number from your Collector of Customs and
Excise before pursuing any inquiry. Quote this number in all correspondence.
6. iF WE TACKLE THIS PROBLEM iN THE SAME SPIRIT OF CO-OPERATION
DEMONSTRATED DURING THE WAR YEARS, IT CAN BE SOLVED WITH
