'1‘hs lovely home of the Misses Hunt was the scene of a very hap- DY Iatherins oi members of the Abcswelt Chatter of the I. o. n. n. on Wednesday m“ for the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the founding of the Order, when they were the guests of the Re- gent. Miss Hunt, who presided in her usual gracious manner. The l- u ’ with l lPblidld address cu the activitbs of the Cr- der by Miss Hunt.

A very clever Charade with the characters dressed in costumes of an earlier period was very highly commented upon.

A song "St. Valentine," by Miss

v Dorothy Wyatt was heartily encor-

ed. A monologue “The Clinic" by Mrs. Perry. who is noted for her wit in this particular line of en- tertainment. brought hearty sp- plause.

An original song a. skit on the members was particularly amus- ing. The words were composed by Mrs. Perry and sung to the tune of "Old Solomon Invi." Miss Doro- thy Wyatt was the soloist, taking part in the chorus were IVLrs. Perry, Miss Wanda. Wyatt, and Mrs. Iecky. Miss Holland accompanied on the piano. The National Anthem closed that part of the program. Hospit- ality was dispensed in the dining room. Mrs. W. C. MacDonald and Mrs. F. J. E. wright presiding ov- er the tea cups.

Address By Miss Hunt

In Paisley, Scotland in 1844 was born a. babe who became a noble woman and was later destined to do great things for Canadauand

the Empire. Her name was Mar-

garet Poison, who founded the

Daughters of the Enrpire.

. The Poison family came to Mon- treal where early in life Margaret married Professor Clark Murray of Queens University, Kingston and later of McGili University.

Mrs. Clark Murray was a woman of varied and exceptional gifts. She possessed vision, initiative. a keen intellect, along with a capacity for organization, and a simple faith. She was a rrember of St. Andrew and St. Paul Church, Montred. She. had a deep rooted and practical patriotism a love and appreciation of British Institutions and their traditions handed down from a glorious past. , She desired that Canada should realize this precious heritage, to make it her own and pass it on to generations yet unborn. ‘

These are some of the idesh

which lay behind the found-

ing of our Order.

It was durin- the South Af"lcan War that this gifted womanbideals of patriotism began to take out- ward form. when she founded the South African Graves Auocistion. It was the first movement ci its kind in history to be undertaken by s. woman.

From this. step by step her great ambition was realised. and on the 18th of February 1900 the Imperial

pirs was organized. thirty five years ago. ‘Iioday the Order has planted its flag in every corner of this great Dominion. From the Yu- to Halifax from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Truly a great achievement to have originated in the mind of one woman.

An oil painting hams in the Archives Building, ottawa. the gift of the Order to which the Abeg- weit Chapter had the privilege of contributing. The picture was un- veiled by ‘Lord Willingdon. The constitution of the Order was drawn up by the finest judicial minds in Canada. It embraces patriotism in its highest form, the motto of the Order is “One Bias. One Throne.

Besides his sorrowing wife and one son, Cosmos. he leaves one brother George of Corraville. and two sisters. Martha and Ella in the United States.

The funeral took place to All

Saints Church. Cardigan, Wednes- day morning. Januax 1s, where a High Mass was csl rated by his pastor, Rev. Father Rooney, after which the remains were laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery. - The pallbearers were Messrs. Angus MscPhes, Patrick surrey. John Sher-key. John Macl/iillsn. Walter Angers and Joseph Quill"- Tltrie gearse was driven by Mr. Har- ol ’ ‘

Onemrirerme rules of the con- stitution were outlined by Miss Hunt at this point but are not given here. Miss Hunt then went on to talk about the activities of the Order.

51118114 our War memo“ ‘ is our sreatest work. The romanoeof the War Memorial it is sometimes called. It is considered by compet- mt judses to be the most outstand- lns and constructive in the world. Through this fund since i920 up to the present time, one hundred ‘and fifty eight, four year Bursaries in Canadian universities have been awarded to the sons and daughters o! deceased soldiers or disabled sol- iers and 90 post graduate scholar- ships of one year each to Canadian young men and women in British universities.

-'I‘he last bursaries will be award- ed in 198‘! as at that timeall chil- dren oi men killed or disabled in

ceded or beyond age to participam. » The overseas scholarships will continue for all time. Truly a noble memorial to those who gave their lives for us.

A WW YBBYH I80 during the height of prosperity our National Chapter

investments would not always bring in the high rate of intenest enjoyed at that time. and increased the Memorial Fluid to meet any re- duction in interest, which shows that our National Chapter is well and wisely directed. The Island is represented in the National Chap- ter by Mrs. James MacMlllan, Mrs. H. R. Hiison. Charlottetown and Mrs. " nne . Summer-side.

The P. E. Island Bursary holder

last year was Allison Rogers. aged l8 years son oi Lieut Ralph Bev- erly Rogers of the 25th Battalion C. E. F., who was killed in 1918. Mr. entered the pre medical course at McGill University and passed all examinations. » Benjamin Rogers, Charlottetown aged 23 years held the P. E. Island oversease scholarship and was ap- pointed ior a-seccnd year. He is studying for the degree of MSo, at the London School of Economics. Marie Clark had a P. 1.‘. Island Bursary but was forced to give it up on account of ill health. An ap- peal went out to the Chapter and a response came from west to east. and Miss Clark was assisted later and wceived her B. A. degree from Dalhousie University with high standing. The educational work of the Or- der is closely associated with that oi the War Memorial and some of soldiers children are given a esc- ondary education by Chapters all over the Dominion.

Scholarships are awarded and prizes offered for essays for patri- otic subjects.

The Abegweit Chapters library came under this head. Prims for pupils at the high school for as- says from the Ahegwelt Chapter are now carried on under the Ada MaoLeod Memorial. I. O. D. E. cal- endars are presented to the high school and county by our Chapter. Child and Femily Welfare is mn- other important branch of I. O. D. E. activity. Under this head come the care of civilian families whether they are British or foreign birth, who have been five years in Canada.

Seventy one thousand dollars was raised and spent for this work dur- ing the past year.

The foremost work of the Abeg- welt Chapter under this head is the distribution of milk each day to one hundred under-nourished chil-

assists with the funds for the Rod Cross work among crip- pled children.

The I. O. D. E. have a chapter in India.

The late Susie Sorab. Principal of St. Helena School was the first Regent. She carried on s. marvelous work, both in teaching Christian- ity and instilling into the minds of her pupils the highest British ideals. An effort is being made to raise ten thousand dollars for a mem- orial to Miss Scrub.

Miss Hunt explained the aims and purpose of the Elndowment Fund. and stated that the collec- tion this afternoon would go to- ward that fund.

Miss Hunt went on to say that in this short sketch it was impos- sible tc touch more than the fringe fife the Order's many worthy activi-

Miss Hunt referred to a. msolu- tion passed at the last annual meeting of the order, in regard to the campaign for suitable pictures for children. 1t was resolved that the film committee cooperate with other women's organization in the work.

Practically unanimous support of the wholesale dealers and trilckers in Ontario is being received by the Eastern Canada Potato Marketing Board, ‘ ., to ‘ “ rs- ceirved here from the Ontario agent Mr. J.

Difficulty has also been encountered in having in- apection stations established. and this work is not yet completed.

Representsfves of the Marketing Agency are being placed in desig- nated areas, such as Ottawa.

A meeting oi the whole- sale dealers was held with Board omcials on Feb. 12, at which prob- lems relative to the scheme were threshed out.

"You can easily see." writes the Ontario agency to Mr. 'I‘ra.1nor. "that your responsibilities and dif- nculties melt into a mere insignif- icance as compared with what we have to contend with in the On- tario office. However, we are re- ceiving cnqurlfilgémellt. and assist- ance from all quarters—from the Deparment of Agriculture. from the dealers and from the ENWQTS- We are very optimistic as to the fu- ture."

Summerside School Board

IMPORTANT MATTERS BROUGHT UP AT MEETING SUMMERSIDE SCHOOL BOARD

Several ilnportant matters w!“ up for discussion at the regular monthly meeting of the School Board of the Siammerside High School.

Dr. E. C. Tanton presided, after much discussion it was decided that all the teachers from Grade l0 dovm would receive an increase in sal to be made retroactive from January 1st.

The increase would be made on a length of service basis. This matter has been before the Board for some time. The increase only applies to the salary paid to the teacher by the School Board and has nothing to do with the grant from the Government.

Another important matter before the meet‘ was a resolution to make a distinction betw l the ten grades of the original High School and the 11th and 12th grades to be known as “The Srummerside Academy."

The suggestion came from Dr. John M. Morton, on the High School staff. The reason given for the change was that Bummorfildv held the unique position of beini; the only school in the Province with

dren of the High School. Our chap- “grades 11 and 12 and the only

one to come under the Maritime Common libmnrining Board. Stu- dents / these examinations are eligable to enter any University. The cirriculum of the 12th grade includes five subjects that are taught in the first War of Univer- sity wbrir. Therefore it was felt some distinction should be made to raise these two Fido! "MW "I" standard of. what is generally known as a High School in this Province. After considerable discussion the following resolution was Passed: Whereas there are many schools in this province which teach the work u to the end of Grade X only, that are given the title of nlsh School:
