questioned the prices paid by the City for certain equipment during the last month. He was sure that some of the ‘items could have been bought for less money. Councillor MacDonald agreed with Councillor Rogers and was of the belief that the time was fast tip- prcaching when the City would require a City Manager. ‘He felt that the salary of such an offi- cial would be saved by more care- ful purchases. Councillors Gaudet. Gormley and Johnstone reminded the two Councillors that the ac- counts of the City were open for their Inspection and it was their duty to inform the various com- mittees of any irregularities

To Honor Artist

In honour at Robert Hll’l‘lB. dis- tinguished artist this Province is proud to claim as her own, the P.

E. I. Art Society are sponsoring a public meeting in the Harris Memorial Gallery this evening. Mr. R. H. Rogers will give an ad- dress on some of the highlights from the life of the artist, thirty- five years after his death.

For the occasion a committee composed of Mrs. George DeBiois and Miss Norah Longworth have obtained some twenty Harris paintings from private owners in the district. many of whom are relatives -still remembering the great man. These works, along with a selection from the Gallery’: Collection range from his earlier classical style through his later freer creations and make a fine one-maii exhibition. That his great interest was people is evident. for portraits far outnumber landscapes in the total of his work.

Among tiTe pieces on display are several interesting pictures loaned by Mr. James E. Harris a nephew who lived with the artist for a time at his home in Man- treal. These are an oil sketch of the studio. and watcrcolours. by Mr. James Harris of his sitting room and dining room. There are also two youthful portraits of the Charlottetown architect by his uncle.

Though born in Wales, Harris’ early years were spent in this city, where he attended Prince of Wales College. His love of painting de- veloped in his childhood here in Prince Edward Island. Before death came to him at the age of sixty- nine he had travelled far along the road to fame. He had kept alive for Canada through his portraits the personality of many of her distinguished sons and his paint- ings are to be found in all the large galleries and in I. great

land.

which they found.

Councillor Hutcheson reported that two tenders had been made for the supplying of it new police patrol and that were satisfactory. He asked the Mayor it it would be advisable to seek tenders outside the City to which His Worship replied in the negative. After some discussion it was moved by Councillor MacDon- aid that the old patrol be sold by tender. Motion was carried.

Councillor Hutchescn introduced a motion calling for the introduc- tion of Daylight Saving Time, he was supported by Councillor Garmley who felt that the major- ity of the population was in fav- or of it. Councillor Johnstone stated that since it was Provin- cial legislation he would not want to see the City of Charlottetown bu the first to defy the law. After further discussion the motion was withdrawn by Councillor 1-Iutcheson who made the stip- ulation that he be allowed to bring it up at a future meeting.

....‘Miss Mona Clay, guidance consultant. P.E.l. Mental Health Department. was the guest speaker at a meeting of the Home and School Association held in the Montague High School last eve- ning. Also present was Cari Rey- nolds. grade ten student. who gave a very interesting resume of the activities of the youth train- ing course held at Mount Allison University last. summer.

The president, Mr. Ralph Beck. presided. The minutes of the pre- vious meeting were read by the secretary. Mrs. E. H. Stewart, and were approved as read. Mr. Beck reported that the books requested from the Charlottetown library were not available at the present time.

“Two recent developments in our Province" was the theme of an interesting address at the Char- lottetown Rotary Club luncheon yesterday by Mr. H. Bramweii Ghandler, superintendent of Lib- raries and Audio-Visual Branch of the Department of Education. The developments to which he refer- red were the R. L. Cotton Memor- ial Trust. for rural beautification and the Rural Beautification Sa- cicty; and he commanded pauc- ulariy the public service rendered in this connection by Mr. R. L. Cotton, Mr. R..B. snazeiie. and Col. E. W. Johnstone.

Mr. Chandle§ recalled that trust. for lrura. beautification gun in 1946 when Mr. Cotton preached the then Premier, the late senator J. Walter Jones, to offer an endowment of $100,000 to utablish and maintain for the people of this Province a nursery and source of supply of plant ma- terials to improve home surround- ings, public areas and roadsides. and otherwise encourage rural beautification.

"This was a most generous and courageous act on Mr. Cotton's part," said Mr. Chandler. "it was also, I should add, equally far- sighted and statesmanlike of the late Senator Jones to accept the offer. It has been rather paradox- ically said that ‘practical men are the curse of good government.‘ If our late Premier had been merely a practical man he would perhaps have turned the offer aside. For- tunately he had the imagination to see the possibilities. We tend to forget that the chief character- istic of 3 leader is to lead and not pmionately to maintain the sta- tus quo. We are indebted to him for much progress.

“In our time there is a develop- ing tradition of considering priv- ate wealth as a public trust. There have been many splendid exam- ples of philanthropy on a large scale in the United States and Great Britain—-The Carnegie Cor- poration, the Rockefeller Founda- tion, the Rhodes Trust. the Nut- field Foundation, and the recent Ford Foundation, to name a. few. In Canada, though we have many men of great wealth the tradition is not so well established. There

Not Easy

“Strange as it may seem it is not easy to give money away, at least not uisely, as many men have found to their sorrow. For piiilanthropy is an art. In fact as you know. the great founda- tions have large permanent staffs whose constant. problem is to de- termine worthy projects to pro- mote. There are for example the problems of deciding the real point of need, of administering the gift, of adapting the grant to changing conditions, of how much money is needed to achieve the end in view. Then, too, a gift may come before its time. The public may be un- prepared to make the best use of it. There must be a favorable climate of opinion.
