Knights 0f Columbus Hold 1 Annual Dinner

Hflfl- T. F. Locke Biddeford, Me., Vice Supreme MM- ter of the Fourth Degree Assembly, Knights of Columbus. .

Millions of dollars have been ‘ spent by the Knights of Columbus during the past two World Wars in caring for the spiritual and material needs of the ex-service men and women of United States and Canada. the Hon. T. F. Locke. Vice-Supreme Master of the Fourth Degree Assembly, Knights of Col- umbus, said last night at the 7th annual dinner of the Knights of Columbus, Charlottetown,

The dinner, held at the Char- lottetown Hotel. was presided over by Grand Kni-ght R. E. Bradley. The spacious dining room was fill- ed to capacity. Present at the main table was His Excellency, the Most Reverend James Boyle. Bish- op of Charlottetown; His Honour. Lent-Governor J. A. Bernard; the Right Rev. P. McMahon; Mr. Melvin MrQuaid; Lieut, J. F. Mc- Donald; Hon. Dr. W. J. P. Mac- Milian.

Mr. Locke expressed his extreme pleasure at being in the Province. It was one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen and, in company with the Hon. Dr, W, J. P. MurMili-in. he had taken advan- tage of his three days in the Prov- ince to motor into various sections of the Province and enjoy its‘ scenic beauty. ‘

The Vice-Supreme Master of the Knights of Columbus told his nud- iencc the Order was about to em- bark on a crusade for the spiritual rejuvenation of the United States and Canada. To accomplish such an aim. he suggested Catholic laymen should organize discussion groups. each group comprising "not ess than five and not more than ten.” This had been the technique, he said, of great Catholic and non-
