only by drawing from the pow- erful international unions, as well as from his own mine union. the railway men, C. C. L.-chartered unions and other groups could Mr. MacDonald score the victory.

A. R. Mosher, yiesident of the 350.000-member labor body since it was founded in 1940, was re-elected for a 13th term, perhaps the last before retirement for the 71-year- old leader.

Mr. Burt snd Mr. Millard were nominated for the presidency but refused to stand. Mr. Mosher's only opponent was it left-wing nominee, William White of the Vancouver Marine Workers, who went down to a cnlshlng defeat. Mr. Mosher scor- ed 737 votes to Mr. White's 85.

Mr. Mlllsrd's apparent lack oi popularity among a segment oi the congresl was reflected in another way. Nominated for the vice-presi- dency. 3. position he refused to ac- cept a year ago. Mr. Millard won. but the number oi votes he got was the smallest of the votes re- ceived by the three other candid- ates re-elected to office.

Report War Memorial Drive Going Well

Officials of the drive now going on in Kensington to collect funds for the erection of a memorial monu- ment at Kensington, reported last evening that up to the present the sum of 3600.00 has been collected towards this worthwhile project.

It is the intention of the com- mittee to erect a monument which will cost in the vicinity of sl.000.00. However, it is estimated that in order to put the site oi the monu- ment in shape it will require an extra three or four hundred dol- lars.

The committee reported last evening that the response to the drive thus far has been splendid and that with a few days the total amount required will be realized and perhaps oversubscrlbed. - 8.

Find Large Wool Of Wild gees

Mr. George Bowness, well known aplarlst of Summerside, on Wed- nesday afternoon responded to what, for him, was a routine call.

Someone was having trouble with it swarm of bees and wished to have them removed. This time the call was from Norboro, and on ar- rival Mr. Bowness found the "home" of this swarm of bees was located in a. large hollow spruce tree, with the entrance about five feet off the ground. To get at the hive necessitated chopping down the tree, which was ,then sawed in short blocks on both ends until the honeycomb was reached.

The log containing the honey- comb measured between three and four feet in length. The log was split open and the honeycomb re- moved without any damage or loss of honey.

An unusual feature oi this hive of "wlld bees" was the fact that there were no drones or drone cells in the hive which indicated an ex- ceptionally well organized colony.

Three large buckets were requir- ed to hold the honey that was ex- tracted. - 5.

Magistrat's court

-- A soldier f:om Central Bed- eque, home on leave from the Can- adian army, was fined 3100. and costs in Magistrates court in Sum- merslde yesterday. He pleaded guil- ty to a charge of "joyriding" laid in connection with an incident in which a 1952 deluxe Chevrolet sedan belonging to Mr. T. J. Inman of Bedeqire was taken from his gar- age snd badly wrecked early Thurs- day morning.

The car was found at Percy Bow- ness' corner where it had left the road and broke off a telephone pole. I '

Republicsnsinsisted that ste- venson iollow the example set by Senator Richard Nixon. Republic- an vice-presldentlali nominee. who went before a radio-TV audience Tuesday to defend use of an 318.- 000 expense fund contributed by California admirers.

Stevenson said in Springfield. lll.. that he was having trouble getting in touch with contributors to his fund because there were "so many" of them. He said he would possibly make a speech dealing with the fund. ,

He has defended his right to use such funds to raise the pay of key state officials who left private- business to take lower-paid state jobs. He has insisted that no pres- sure was brought to bear on con- tributors.

Ii"?

The Sun-lmerside Hans; and tschool Welfare Group held its an- nual banquet recently. and ap- pears to be ready to embark on an- other succeasful year. Such an or- sanizatlon links together the home and school in a way that can scarcely fail to be beneficial to both. Viewpoints which are quite often divergent because viewed from different angles can be re- conciled li talked over by repre- sentatives of both the home and school. The parents get to know the teacher's special problems. end is sometimes a great deal of in- tolerance shown between the par- ents and the teacher. Students are not always the best ambassadors of good-will. A teacher's actions are sometimes put in a bad light by a boy or girl who resents authority.

. o .

If the problems are discussed on a common ” ground. mis- understanding is quite often clear- ed up. It has been found that par- ent-teachcr relations are general- ly more cordial where Home and School groups exist. The associat- ion depends largely for its strength and usefulness on the number of parents who are actively attending members. The Summerside group is gaining in membership strength each year after a very modest be- ginning, and as its membership grows, the opportunities for doing a worth-while service expands.

We were reading an ontuio course of studies recently which gave the aims and purposes of in- struction in the several subjects taught. Among other aims of Latin instruction we read with some little surprise: "So that the stu.

dents may be able to read with pleasure the great works of the Latin authors." Now, we concede

that the Latin authors are great, and that it is quite possible to de- rive pleasure from reading their works. But are the graduates of our schools, or even our universities, doing it? is it not safe to say that not one-quarter percent of our school and college graduates ever read Latin authors for pleasure once they have departed from the hallowed halls of learning? Who among them takes Virgil to bed. or reads with gusto the thundering

prations of Cicero on a rainy ai- ternoon? . . . Someone may argue (and even

be right about it) that it would' be better if more people did cultivate Livy and Horace instead of Mickey Spillane, but the fact remains that it seems an amazing waste of ef- fort to train modern students to read with pleasure literature that, so very. very few will ever spend so much as a fleeting hour with, once their period of training is over. Is it not a. little bit. like
