x x x x Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey league, ar- rived by plane in the City last night. He will be the guest speaker at the annual Physical Fitness Dinner at "The Charlottetown" Hotel tonight.

x x x x i Accompanying Mr. Campbell on his visit to the Province is his father Mr. George A. Campbellpf Edmonton, Alta., who was born at Centreville, Bedcque. It has been some 50 years since Mr. Campbell senior emigrated to the West and this marks his first return to his native home.

x x x x Slnu he left the Province Mr. Campbell has been a resident in all three of the Western Provinces and finally made his home in Ed- monton where he was engaged in the lumbcr business. He has since retired and although he has trav- elled extensively, never had an op- portunity of revisiting his home here.

x x x x It was only when he learned that his son was to be guest speaker at the function here that he seized the occasion to make the trio.‘ Mr. Campbell is anxious to visit familiar surroundings and recalled that as a_ youth he spent some time at Argyle Shore. Hc. too. was enquiring about residents of Bedcque including the Hon. Horace Wright, whose acquaint- ance he made while visiting in Ottawa.

x x x x 0n arrival at the Airport last night they were met by Lin-Col. W. W. Reid, director of Physical Fitness. Col. Campbell will speak tonight on “The Place of Sport in the Community." ‘Ilhere will be a good cross section of sport follow- ers, young and old, at the dinner and much interest centres on the address of the N. H. l... president.

x x x x Col. Cam/pbell who served over- seas and rose from the ranks to command the 4th Canadian Arm- oured Division Headquarters came to know many Islanders including Col. Reid. and Col. Dave Stewart who commanded the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders of the 4th Division. Col. Campbell at the close of the war acted as counsel ‘in the trial of the German General Kurt Meyer. During the campaign in Northwest Europe he was men- tioned in dispatches .and made a member of the Order of the Brit- ish Empire. y

x x x x Previous to the war Col. Camp- bell was a Rhodes Scholar, studied law at Oxford and returned to Edmonton to practice. He became a hockey referee by accident in. i929 and stayed with it-flrst in amateur and later in professio i leagues. 'He Joined the National Hockey League as referee in 1039 and worked three full seasons, also one season in the American Hoc- key League.

x x x x Col. Campbell has oflered to oo- operate with the Department of Physical Fitness here in procuring an experienced hockey coach and referee to lend a hand at a pro- posed "Hockey School" to be run here next fail. Both Col. Campbell and his father will receive a warm ' here on their all too short t'isit. x x x x Col. Campbell had little com- ment to make on the N. 1L1... but when it was suggested this was the off-season, remarked that he and his office were plenty busy grappling with the schedule for next year, and drafting it to suit the welfare of the clubs preaflhd somewhat of a problem. x x x x

This reminds me of a time long ago when I was a mere brfl- 54°31‘ er had baked an old fashioned plum loaf for supper that ‘was a trifle short on raisins. Someone with g sweet tooth had paid a se- cret visit to the pantry and Mid- ed the package of fruit.
