(‘lize zo-per-cent increase now sought, it is estimated, would give it about $40,000,000 a year at cur- rent traffic levels and would yield the C. P. R. about $30,000,000.)

The Canadian National reported that last year it got. $31,654,000 through freight-rate increases on exclusively Canadian traffic. This was made up of $29,911,000 from a general 2l-per-cent increase ef- fcctive in early April and 81,742,- 000 from increases in sub-ceiling

Edward Turner, Harry MacWil- llama, Peter Pate, Ralph Adams, Lloyd Siiliker, Dan Smallman and Sanford Phillips were appointed to make arrangements for tlzo temporary system.

A proposal was also put forward at the meeting that as permanent solution of the problem that power be obtained from the munici- paily-owned plant at Summerside. At present lines from the Bummer- sfds plant reach as far as Mount Pleasant, about fourteen miles from O'Leary and it would only be necessary to bridge in that distance. Asked about this suggest- ion last night Mayor J. F. Arnett. of Summerslde emirasised that he was speaking only for lumself but he said that the Town Council could not undertake the expense of building the line which would cost $25,000. However, he said that if the line were built by the Gov- ernment and ‘the surplus power was available the Town would be willing to supply energy to tho 0'Leary district.

It is understood that s request is being made to the Provincial Gov- ernment, through Hon. George If Barbour, minister of highways who represents the district, to have a tie-in lino constructed between Mt. Pleasant and OTcary. The request from residents of 0’Lcary is to eith- cr have the Government erect the line, or at least to defray the cost.

THE GUARDIAN,

Y's Men's Oluh ilolds Gala Ladies Night

The new well-appointed Char- lottetown YMCA. was the scene last night of one of the most en- joyable affairs ever llcld by the local Y's Men's Club. when over 100 Y's Men, their ladies and friends sat down to a sumptuous dinner and then enjoyed a musical program tendered by local artists and wound up the evening with bowling and cards. The event was unique in that it was the first Ladies’ Night to be held in the new building, and those who had not been in the building previously, were loud in praise of its splendid appointments.

Y's Man T. Roy Cudmore, who is also president-elect of the "Y" was chairman. assisted by Y's Man J. M. Maorndyen.

Grace was offered by Y's Man Rev. J. D. Davison, and during the dinner, a tuneful sing-song was led by Y's Man Walter Cox with O. K. Presby at the piano.

Following the dinner a brief but splendid program was carried out ‘as follows: chorus, Y's Men's Chorus; piano solo. Frank John- son; Al Jolson impersonations, Master Leitii Sweeney; humorous remarks, W. R. Shaw; vocal solo. Miss Phyllis Lutcs; piano solo, 0. K. Presby: vocal duet, Miss Helen Dedar and Malcolm MacKtnnon.

The club president, Walter J. Cox. thanked the guest artists and also tendered a hearty welcome to the Menettes and the numerous guests.

Address By Mr. Cudmorc

The chairman. Mr. Cudmore lllen briefly addressed the gathering as follows:

"1 am free to confess that this is a very happy occasion for me, and I am hopeful that it will prove equally pleasant to all members present. and our guests.

"This is a meeting that should long be remembered. It is an IZISICFiC event. marking the climax of many years of hope and work by those who are present, and many others who are unfortunately not here. -

"As \vc delve into the early his- tory of this club, we find record- ed in the minutes ‘at variouslin- tervals, motions put forward with a view to having a. new Y.M.C.A. building erected.

"On this happy occasion. the first gathering to be held in this new building, which will be dedicated as a Y.M.C.A. Youth Centre next Wednesday afternoon. it must be indeed a pleasure to sec your ideal realized and to be here to observe the fruits of your labour under the blessing of the Giver of every good and perfect gift.

"This Y.M.C.A. building is in succession to the old premises oi.’ tender memories, built over 80 years ago and recognized as the oldest building devoted to Y.M.C.A. work on this continent.

“It is fitting, and ‘worthy of note. that this new building stands uni- que, in that it isthc first Y.M.C.A. building erected in the second Cen- tury of the life of tile “Y" Move- ment.

"If I may be permitted to take a vigorous and fighting line from Mr. Churchill, I would say the completion of this building is only “the end of the beginning". The future holds in store for us and the coming generations, a respon- sibility in "Y" work villlch can, and should, contribute largely to the success of the young people of this City and Province.

"Here we are equipped with facilities and the necessary leader- ship to give expression to all we hold near and dear in a Demo- cracy which will require constant vigilance and practice to overcome the steady inroads of cults and isms.

ladies’ Activities

"It is safe to assume that the ladies will be required to enter very fully into the life and activity of the "Y", in the days which lie ahead.

"Within our ‘"1" we have that outstanding and dynamic group of "Y? Grads, who are vigorously carrying lire Torch for youth. Our younger clubs, the "Hi-Y" and Phalanx will be a tower of strength In the years which lie ahead. These clubs, coupled with the great body of general public. Mic in the final analysis -are responsible for the erection of this splendid Youth Centre. will see to its future ad- vanccment.

"With the enthusutic co-opera- tion of all, we may look forward with the utmost confidence to sur- mounting and overcoming, all dif- ficullies which may present them- selves. not illc least of which will be the financial problem accom- panying this great and worthy en- terprise which we have launched.

"Our building, when completed. will cost $300,000. Of this amount the generous and thoughtful pub- lie have subscribed $285,000. A mortgage has been pllced with the Eastern Trust Company for the balance. $65,000.

“Our city stands in the forefront in every forward effort. If the Y. M.C.A. is to be successful in Char- lottetown our citizens must become even more "Y" conscious -- giving it their financial and moral lup- port-to the very limit.

"Those ‘of us that are interested in the forward move of the YM. C.A. in this community will no

doubt hear the remarks that this

A proposal to bring a “DP.” student to St. Dunstufs Univer- sity next fall has been placed be- forc thc student body through the I.8.8.,Oommlttee of their Stud- ents’ Union. Much interest has been aroused on the campus as a result 0f this and the first of a series of Articles which will deal with the,I.B.B. and its work is pre- sented here.

International Student Service of Canada is one of a group of self- goveming national committees which co-operate with the admin- istrative staff of the organization imown as 1.8.8.. wh0se headquar- ters are in Geneva, Switzerland. There are nineteen European and nine Far Eastern cOuntrIes, as well as Canada, the United States, South Africa. Australia. and New Zealand taking part in and oo- operating with 13.8. These na- tional imits in turn operate through local comntittees in the different universities and colleges in their respective countries. The interns,- t-ional policy of 1.8.8. is determin- ed by an international assembly of vwenty to thirty members who represent tine “university corn- munlty" of the world. This assem- bly. which meets t/wice yearly, is advised by an International Con- ference held annually, and the assembly carries out its work in co-orperation with national com- mittees by n Secretariat in Gen- eva.

Primary Purpose

Convinced that the universities are the guardians of truth and intellectual freedom, with an ob- ligation, in all countries. to op- pose any attempts at cultural im- lation or mental slavery, 1.8.5. re- gards itself as an instrument well suited for this work. The primary purpose of 1.8.5. is. therefore, cul- tural. This is borne cut in the Constitution of Canadian 1.8.8. which states that among the chief aims of the organization is the promotion of the interchange of ideas. Another aim is the provid- ing of material aid Within the university community.

Because of tihe amount. of re- lief work which it has done, the i-nain punpose of 1.5.5. has been often misunderstood.‘ For, with the coming of World War II. its

s.n.u. 8th.... tun; A Adoption or “v.9.”

18.8. has collected more than $126,000 for student relief. Mrs. Harold Clerk, travelling secretary of 1.8.8.. said in I-Ialifsx last week that 1.85. "has now changed from a material relief organization to an intellectual relief organization." ‘Iihe objective of the drive for funds among the Canadian univ- ersities and colleges this year is $65,000.

At the last annual meetin of Canadian 1.8.8., which was held at Ajax. Ontari0. Oct. Q-Sll, 1948, it was decided to move forward from a program devoted chiefly to physical relief to one in the broad field of education and in- ternational understanding. One way in which 1.88. will work in this field is through a scholarship plan by which "Displaced Person" students are brought to Canada to live and study on our campuses. Thcsc "D.P.s” come as immigrants through the International Relief Organization, and are given scholarships and every assistance to malke a new life in Canada. (How the students of St. Dun. sun's plan to try to raise suffic- lent funds to bring one of these students to college next fall will be discussed in the concluding _ar- ticle of this series.)

First Seminar

Last summer. 15.8. held its first International Student Seminar at| Ploen, Germany. ‘llhe meeting was a concrete attempt at fostering cultural understanding. and its two main objectives were the de- velopment of international under- standing and the demonstration of intellectual freedom. (This lem- inar will for-m the subject matter of the second article of this cer- ies. and the third article will deal with 1.8.8. relief work.)

Membership in 1.8.5. is open to all undergraduate and graduate students and faculty i. embers of universities and colleges which accept the principles of the Org- anization. The executive of 1.85.. is headed by Viscount Alexander of Tunis, the Governor-General, as honorary president. Among the honorary vice-presidents are men prominent in the fields of relig- ion. business, and education. The nresident of 1.5.5. is a Marifimer. Dr. N.A.M.. MacKenzie, who. since
