‘SECRETAR¢Y'S REPORT

The following is the report of the Secretary. Mil'-°>~ M“Lgl’°h*“":

Madame Rblent. and es! I have tho honor to present for

your approval a review of the thirty-mth year oi Royal Edward Chapter, Imperial Order Dalilh- ters of the Eml1if¢- Mlm W9 gather in annual meeting to hear the reports oi those members 11° whom you have entrusted th° many and varied activities of the

chapter.

During the year thcrs have been

held 3 regular mvtings, with an average attendance of 17. md 3 executive meetings. The National Executive has requested'-hate. uni- versal supplicstion for world peace be included in the general prsysr to be used at regular meetings, the additional wording to be properly included when a reprint oi or-yer cards becomes necessary. Interest in the Monday afternoon meetings of the Empire Study Class hal grown to such an extent that the attendance threatens to exceed the accommodation of our chaf>t¢4‘

rooms.

The annual meeting of the Nat-

ional Chaptsr was held in Ottawa in inet. week in May. and MH- -1- A. Macmillan was our d=l¢B‘l'»° '»° that meeting; as Mrs. Macmillan is one of ure representatives of this province on the War Memor- ial Committee she was able W combine her interest in this 594°' ial work with interest in the pro- ceedings as a whole. A P189-“H5 and profitable afternoon was spent in listening to the delegates‘s re- port of the National Chapter meetings.

During the past few years s greateraniount of publicity has been given the Order than ever before, and we are encouraged to believe that the average citizen is grasping the fact that ours is not just a social club, or s. woman's

loci( CITY Tolacoo sewing circle, but s part of an in- BOIIAIIY. l.lll1’l|i ternaticnal body of women dedi-

tc our fellow-citizens. The did co-operation of local papers in bringing the alms and objects of our undertakings before the public, has had its reflection in the success of these undertak- ings. Generous space has been given all phases of our work both before and after chapter activities, and all meetings have been fully reported.

Educational Work

Our educational work is of such

vital interest that the National Ed. Com. have adopted the policy of having an irifonnative article published in each issue of Echoes. and each member is urged ic read these articles. The War Memorial Fund which finances the most expensive of the educational schemes of the Order, offers a real contribution to the life cf thc ‘ country and the community. The first Bursary was awarded in 1920, and in the fifteen years since that dats nearly 200 young Canadians whose fathers were killed or per- manently and seriously disabled during the war, have been helped to go to college, and 85 graduates of Canadian Universities have gone to college in Great Britain to fit themselves by advanced study

for further work. How is it pose

to estimate the influence of these young Canadians-teachers, clergy- men, doctors, lawyers, journalists, engineers, housewives, business- men and women? There were 56 soldiers' sons and daughters hold- ing Bursaries in 17 Canadian- col- leges s.nd_uriiverslties for the year 1935, Richard MacQusrrie of Vic- toria. being the bursary holder for this province. No candidate offer- ing for 1936 the other' provinces will benefit in the final allotment. The overseas Scholar was as you remember Mr. Hazen Wigmore, to be succeeded by Mr. Allan Mac- millan, whose career will be watched with affectionate interest by every member of this chapter.

In connection with the distribu-

tfun of War Memorial Pictures it is interesting to note that, the Committee has recommended that these pictures be loaned to Canad- ian Legion halls, Regimental Club

c d

ibie

rooms, and other suitiable pls. es.

Calendars are usual y consi ered

as a mere record of days, but it has been said that the I. 0. D. E. calendar is more than i-hat; it brings the Union Jack to us every day. The sale of these calendars helps finance the Ed. Dept.

National Affiliations

The Canadian Branch ofthe

League of Nations Society as part of its educational campaign, en- 'courges competition in schools on subjects relating to league of Nations activities, so that through our girls and boys a knowledge of the work accomplished by the League may be broadcast. The com. in charge of this work for tho local chapter have had the satisfaction this year of co-operat- lng with Abegweit Chap. Bum- rnsrside, so that the competition carried on in Charlottetown pub- lic schools, was duplicated in Sum- merside. The members of this coin. are to be commended also on hav- ing somethlng of interest ready for any meeting where time is avail- able.

The Navy League of Canada

Following a discussion at last annual national meeting as to whether we should continue our affiliation with the Navy League of Canada, a Questionnaire was sent out and the replies clearly showed that. the work being dons was more than well worth while, and is carried on in the other provinces with enthusiasm. The Navy League Homes at Sydney, I-laiifax, and St. John need our in- , terast. and support, and we are urged by Miss Wilson, the Nat. Convaner, to help our disabled naval veterans, ns a small express- ion of our regard for that great service. The Navy.

The Victoria Lelllle

The reception and entertain- ment of visitors to thc British Isles from British colonies over- seas, is one of the main activities of this organization, and those who have availed themselves of the opportunities which thc Vic- toria League offers cannot say enough in praise of the pleasure received

ing with the education of soldiers' children has grown to such stal- wart proportions, that there is no doubt that much more money has been spent than has ever been re- ported, and that much has been given. thevalpe of which can scar- cely be estimated. It cannot be too often emphasized that the inter- est and sympathy shown have meant as least as much as the money.

Christmas Work

Special Christmas work included

cards to sick or absent members:

National Holidays

Observance oi’ National holidays

is faithfully carried out by mem- bers when possible, including St. Georges Day, Empire Day, and Remembrance Day. Trafalgar Day, Oct.. 21st. members were invited to the home of the Regent, Mrs. J. A. Mathieson. Mrs. R.. M. Legate re- viewed the events of the first Trafal- gar Day in a most interesting paper. and Mrs. R. .I-I. Rogers gave a. delightful informal talk on her vlsit to England and Scotland. after which tea was served by the

hostess. _

Special services included atten-

dance at the service to commem- orate the 25'-h anniversary of the accession of King George to the Throne, and the fervor of patriot- ism which the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty‘s reign evoked in every British-heart made the national sorrow a. more personal thing, when in a few short months we were called upon to take part in the memorial service held on Tuesday Jan. 28th. the day of the funeral of the same beloved sov-

ereign.

His Majesty'a unsolfish devotion

to his people has been strikingly exemplified in his expressed wish that any proposed gift to him should take the form of a. fund for the benefit of his people. In Can- ada such a fluid is to be devoted to Cancer research, and in this connection we are proud to have given a small part of the $3,000 contributed through I. O. D. E.

On the occasion of the visit to

P- E. I. of Her Excellency Lady Bessborough who is Hon. Presid- ent of our Order flowers were pre- sented io her on her arrival, by the Regent and Mrs. P. W. Turner. Projects. of National interest which need our continued support are. The National Endowment Frmd, The Susie Borabji Memorial Build- ing at Poona, Bombay Press. India.

Acoesion of Edward VIII r

The accession oi’ our new King,

Edward VIII made it necessary to renew the oath oi' allegiance, which is an obligation of every' member, and this renewal took place at the regular monthly meet- ing on Feb. 3rd, 1936. Acqiiaim- ance with the aims and objects of the order was also renewed at this time.

During the past your many of our members have suffered be- reavement, fncluding Mrs. Bentley, Mrs. V. L, Goodwill, Mrs. N. H. DeBlois, Mrs. H. L. Bethune, Mrs. R. M. Legate, Mrs. Jas, Paton, Mrs. E. R.. Brow, Mrs. E. G. Saunders, and to these our deep sympathy has gone out.

Plans are under discussion for the celebration of thc 35th, anniver- sary cf this chapter, and as we look back on the 36 years of the growth and :tcliicvcniciiis of the national organization, it, may well be a matter of considerable pride to us. that if one may judge by a comparison .vi‘li the excellent re- ports sent iii by the other prov- inces. cur contribution has been a not inconsiderable one.

All of which is respectfully sub-

mitted.

MARY BREIIAUT.
