Mr. Gallant concluded by point- ing out that in spite of what had happened 200 years ago the Acadisn people had returned and taken their place side by side with the oth- ers with whom they have the com- mon objective of continuing to build the great country which is Can- ada today.

GUEST SPEAKER

The guest speaker at the meet- ing was Mr. Gilbert Finn. organizer of L'Assumption ciety. from Moncton, N.

Mr. Finn went on to say that the Acadian people of today, which by all rights should have disappeared as a race, shows itself to be stronger in their faith than ever before. and worthy des- cendants of their ancestors.

He said the reason for these observances in this year is to show divine providence that the Acadian people have remained true to their customs. religion. and the heritage of their fore- fathers. and to show how glad they are to be Acadlans.

"We hold these' celebrations," he said. "especially to show our young people that in being true to our religion and race we have a mission in life. and to show the rest of Canada that we have re- sources in give to the country when needed."

Mr. Finn urged his hearers to speak Acadlan, live Acadian. and remain Acadinns throughniv 'helr lifetime. and concluded by "'llng them to remain faithful in their French language. religion. and their country.

Mr. Leonard MacDonald in brief remarks congratulated the people taking part in the presentation of the program depicting the devel- opment of the Acadlans during the last 200 years. and expressed his appreciation in the competent

committee in charge. During the program the Well-

Summerside. do hereby commend our Provincial Government for its recent action in having the liquor stores of Charlottetown and Sum- merside closed on Saturdays at

"Whereas the Prince Edward Island Baptist Association. gath- ered in annual session at Sum- merside. greatly deplores the ever- growing secularization oi the Lord's Day therefore be it resolved that we call upon all our church mem- bers and adherents to set a worthy example of true Sabbath observ- ance by refraining from indul-V ging in all those things that would. in any way rob God of the Dari especially set apart by the Great Creator for His worship and ser-
