Mr. Edwin C. Johnstone was appointed Provincial chairman for the 1948 campaign which is due to open March 1st with an ob- jective ol $33,000. The national objective this year is $li.000.000.00. Since the budget for the activities of the Prince Edward Island Div- lsion for the year totals 341.000 ‘it will be seen that the additional amount. required over and above the $183,000 to be raised in the Province during the campaign will have to come through the national headquarters. Plans for the annual meeting were discussed and the ‘final ar- rangements were loft for the pre- sident and commissioner to de- clde.
