Speaks 0n fiSpirii 0f ilefeaiism

In a stirring address to Trinity " Men's Association in monthly meet- ing in the Social I-lall, Dr. H. C. Rice, Pastor, of Trinity United -’ (‘hurchfchailenged his audience . "to make the best contribution p01- J-i- I sibie to their day and generation." The speaker traced the history of the word from its origin in World war I, down through World War II to the present day. Dofeatism is ' the spirit of appeasement as offer- ‘ad by the late Neville Chamber- lain. In contrast. Dr. Rice referred to the diametrically opposite atti- tude towards life. that Winston Churchill had shown in his declar- ation of blood, sweat and tears. It ionk a long time to wit, against the ' gpirit of defeatism shown in the early stages of the war. What a different course the war took be,» cause of Churchill's cry of victory. Defeatism is not a good word to spply to any sphere of life. Qf the twelve Biblical spies. ten were of the defcntist type, afraid of the giants of the land. Dr. Rice con- trasted today with the Gay Nine- ties-the formcr with millions un- der arms, with its malevolence of racial prejudice. and right now, with the fllabuster against the De- claration of l-luman Rights in the United States Government and the latter though lacking today's lux- urles, yet h delightful period of en- joyment. . In a sense, there is enough to make us despair. I-Iowever,.the age i: changing in its attitudes towards Y life. Never was there a time in our world history when human values meant more than thcy do todny. The legislatures throughout the land are concerning themselves with these values. Likewise, inter- nationalisni, begun at an early date by the Christian world. has never meant so much as it means today. \Vc are not defeatlsts today he- rause we believe in u better world as this is a moral universe. This idca is held not only by theologians but by others such as the psycholo- gist Freud, who has said that this

energy of man. What a challenge we have confrontlng.usi We lire not fools because we have hope for the future, seeing as we do good lor humanity, or as Browning has put it, "that one divine far-off event ‘ in which creation moves." In Revel- ‘ alien, John refers to the future, with its fulfilment of the new Jer- usihiem. ln strong language the speaker closed with the words that truth must win.

Upwards of 140 attended the tlln-

her, prepared by the women of the '» church. The usual slngsong was ‘ conducted by Messrs. O. K. Preshy and Walter Cox. Miss Betty Bcer very charmingly entertained the audience with Irish songs, very suitable for the occasion, as the hall had been tastefully decorated by thc Young People's Society for St. Patrick's. The report of pensions was ltiven by Milton Barkhouse after which a most enthusinpticaily successful meeting was closed with the bene- ' _ diction by Rev. Mr. Evans.

ist industry and hoped the loang would not turn out the same as those made by the Fishermen’: Loan Board.

I-1e censured the government for not making any provision for a grant to the Children's Aid Society and on being challenged by the Premier intimated that tiie Opposi- tion would move a motion to have a grant of $1500 included for this Purpose during consideration of the estimates.

The Hon. W. F. A. Stewart, Min. ister of Agriculture, adjourned the debate at 10 p.m. after commen- cing a review of his department ahd commenting on the record crops produced last year. The debate will resume this morning at 11 o'clock. In mumins the debate last nisht nr. Macbfillan felt that 501M 800d should restilt from the. external audit. He saw the need for s. plain ordinary bookkeeper who could turn out statements all could understand. OI-lo regarded the estimates as the most import- ant business the House had to deal with. yet they were, not, even zl n- tloned in the Speech from the Throne. _ . Dr. MaoMilian referréd to his long association with Dr. I.J. Yeo which extended over 40 years. He roltrded his record, as chairman of the School Board as "most, ex- cellent’? Ho xiiidnt-think his dis- missal as chairman of the Public Utilities Board in the afternoon following a talk with the Premier in the morning, when no mention ‘was made of the fact, was the proper way to tireat public spirited

man.

Tired 0f Crltioising Expressing himself as tired of criticizing, Dr. Maolviillan turned to the activities of the Depart- ment. of Public Health and Wel- fare, and cited the advancement made in the fig-ht to control tub- erculosis. He referred to the ef- forts made to get the grant for extra-mural treatment up to the present level. He felt it the part of wisdom to advocate the con- struction of s convalescent cot- tage or home, for many patients had no place to go when divoharz- ed

He paid tribute to the staff of the Sanatorium. but stated it was short in doctors and nurses ‘rwo doctors were insufficient to run such an institution and there was a need for four qualified Dhyfilc" ians. He cited the untirlng and unselfish work done by Dr. Pbund and that all were anxious over his long recuperation.

vitaticn has been accepted ain't it is hoped to be able to present a full choir of fifty voices or more at their first engagement. The next practise will be held one week from Thursday and it has been decided to hold practicses 0n three Mondays of every month and one Thursday, this being more convenient to the members and will be announced definitely at the next rehearsal.

He approved, taa, uha legislat- ion for Mother's Allowances.

He stated that the Order-ln- Councll passed by the Government to make svailiibla space in the Sanatorium to take‘ care of chil- dren crippled by polio was a. cost.- ly ‘business. but worthwhile and of great satisfaction. Dr. Ackei- bad been a helper in the work of crip- pled dillldxen in this Province for over 25 years.

Lands Red Cross

Dr. Maolvfillamlauded the work of the Red Cross ln_ the Province and reminded the House that the annual campaign for funds would be launched‘ soon. He slid the Dominion-wide objective was $5,- 000,000 of which Prince Edward Island's sham was 838,000. "We want- $40,000." the Doctor added. He reported that the Society had purchased the property known as "Red Cross House" and its work had groom wonderfully and rap- idly. -‘

The Province held a world's re- cord in the sphere of Junior Red Cross workers and for this full credit must be given teachers and the Department of Education.

Dr. MaoMillan announced that the Rad Cross was now engaged in its most impotant peace-time activity-blood donor work. Can- ada was the first country in the world to undertake to make blood free to every person requiring some. He said many members of the House had set a fine example in making donations at the clinic recently concluded here.

Ingeferring to the $10,000 or $12,000 grant to iholrzuhibition, Dr. MacMlllan said the Govern- ment would probably get back $25,000.

Dr. MaoMlllan was critical of the csdastral survey and noted that $46,000 had been spent on it. He failed to understand why the Government went, into this.

In a direct question to the Pra- mler, Dr. MaoMlllan asked if hlie Government had aided nnanciaily in the building of the Summorside curling Club and was told that a loan of $15,000 at four per cent in- terest had been made. Dr. Mac- Mllian also stated $250 had been given towards a bonspiel here.

Ha then asked the result of a reception given members of the Borden School trustees who sought. backing for the building of a new high school, and in the resultant exchange wliih the Premier was informed that $80,000 had been sought, and turned down.

Dr. Maolvlzillan suggested that the Government had its perspect- ive twisted and that sport was being glorified over education.

The leader of iiiie Opposition criticised the Government for its treatment of the Queen's COUILbY gnoier. He said both the County and Supreme Courts had ruled actions for dismissal improper. In comparative statements he then showed where the Queen's County gaoler was receiving a salary of $800 where a man in a similar position in Summerslde was re- ceiving $000.

Inconcludlng his speech. Dr- Maclvllllan spoke of the threat of

Communism and the co-operation

of all creeds in critnibatting the red menace and the universal ex-

pression of horror in all free countries at the teaiment of lead- ing churchmen in Communist

lottetown with her sister “Peggy".
