ELLEN’S DIARY V
What A Gal-‘Eyes As Green As Pines Of Maine
And ‘now -the week is gone! Over the hills and away, leaving much we had proposed to do, re- mainging still undone. Yes? A letter unwritten, a book unread, sewing unfinished" and many a dream not yet come true. Soon however another week returning us a promise of time unlimited will allow us to pick up again, the rested threads to complete at least some of the designs we commenced. Not all. But if not, as someone has said:
“I like to think that in that bright world above,
There will be rich fulfilment of all love
Surely the shining heights we strove to gain,
Will swing once more into our sight again,
And all the lovely dreams that earth denied, _
Will bloom again on some fair countryside.”
And this week so good-what of it now? Possibly since our occup- ation must necessarily be co-ord- inated closely with whatever winds may blow, we remember most of all the weather-days more of Spring than Winter.
We think of the farm-work con- tinued without hindrance of any depth of snow: the rites of the woodlands, the everyday chores. We remember the peach of the farmlands. Mornings with the waiting hills rosetinted, evenings with bright paths leading off to the gates of the dusk. Family, friends old and newer, how nice- ly these were all interwoven in the threads of our days. \
How the childrens’ faces, voic s linger with us now: Granddaugh- ter with sun kisses sprinkling her
nose “the image’? of her mother, «
though she inclines to'be taller; Mack “pretty much the build-of my father” for whom he is nam- ed. James says; Gage dimpled,
ie brown-eyed, growing out of our reach, but still well-loved and ‘still ‘the first-born of all.
How noticably the appearance and characteristics of forbears are repeated in the after-genera- tions- We speak of this with James, '
“Whom does that littlest one of the...’s remind you of?" we may ask. 7 “I’d say she’s cut from the same web that her great-grand- mother was. You remember her, Ellen-old Mrs....dead these long years?” '
And “Exactly!” we -agree‘.
“Dear Ellen” a ‘busy farmwife wrote us this week “I’m enclos- ing some verses I found in an old journal the other day when I was tidying a cupboard. I liked them. They are by Eleanor Vinton. ‘Ancestry’ is the name of the poem...And incidently would- n’t a Gypsy maid or suchlike away back have added a nice spice to even the most circum- spect line!” -
“Father’s father’s great-great grandfather
Married his green-eyed scatter- brained love.
How the townsfolk flared like a fanned pother
Whatcould he be thinking of?
She was beautiful, mouth like a strawberry,
Hair the color of waving grain;
Cheeks as soft as the bloom of hawberry,
Eyes as green as the pines of Maine. ’
Chiidren’s children from descendent
Scribble verses or cloud, ,‘ Eyes reflecting the green resp- lendant,
Fire of a scatterbrain, and proud.”

Choral Reading Is A
Subject Of Wi
Music Festival Time is with us again. At the Festival we have music. dancing and choral read- mg. For those especially interest- ed in the latter subject the follow-' 1113 comments given recently by Lena McLure may be of interest. —-A very well-known teacher in Speech Arts once said to me: “The most obvious difference be- tween an amateur and a profes- sional is the voice". How true thisis. When we attend the pro- fessional theatre what a pleasure it is to bear the resonance, mod- ulations. clarity and brilliance of beautifully developed voices. This has “Gt lust happened. Granted, many of the performers have naturally beautiful voices, but also they have worked hard at cultivating them.
And this is where Choral Read-
ing comes in. As a person is a
de Interest
better member of a chor-al sing- ing society, by having a trainedvoice, so a member of a dramatic group .is better if hav- ing had voice training.
When children participate in choral reading pronunciation is
~improved and a style and voca-
bulary acquired. Choral reading can be a foundation for future work in the drama.
John Beaufort, New York drama and film critic, said re- cently in a tape-recorded dis- cussion: :‘The substitute for the disappearing commercial theatre has been and is continuing to be thecommunity, college, and edu- cational theatre. Like commun- ity art and music centres, the community theatre has been ex- hibiting a great growth."
A: great an actress as h‘rreei‘
Garson, now playing the famous role, Auntie Mame in New York, is on the board of the Dallas Symphony and Little Theatre. Greer Garson is in private life Mrs. E. E. Fog-'elson of Texas.
So we seem to be-going into an era where community people will participate most actively in the community theatre. And for this, as said -at the start, we need to work, on the speaking voice.
In this province teachers and children are doing exceptionally fine work. The children are in- telligent, , talented and responsive. The teachers are academic and artistic. The teacher-pupil com- bination in choral’ reading has made a big contribution to the Festival.
It is a universal law in the arts that the better things tend to rise to the surface.‘ Thus it can be said -that children who have Choral Reading will find it, too, among t-he better things, not only in childhood but in later years. No_matter how turbulent life may becorne. they already have mastered a technique and carry with them the inspiration of a teacher and the selections which she taught. .
Whenthe Choral Reading clas- ses "are being (held at the Festi- val. do give yourselves an inter- estmg - a happy time - and hear the children, as prepared by teachers‘, in Choral Read. 1113 at the Prince Edward Island Music Festival.

A. A. Helps His Wife Dear Mary Haworth: Burr- ruther! The» stupidity of some people’s kids! At the moment I refer to Mr. U. P., your recent correspondent who snidely objects
-to his wife's attending AA meet. ings, even though they've kept her
.dry for .14 months. (He fears for
his social standing if the neigh. bors find out!) *
How in the name of all that’s holy can a man resent or object to any godly fellowship that has what-1t—tak_es to keep a person sober? This fellow says his wife stayed drunk most of the time un- til she discovered AA—and hasn’t fallen off the wagon since‘,
An alcoholic myself of six years experience. I've known all the despair and remorse that she’s been through. But I am sober now and with God’s Help, I shall Stayrthat way. I will follow the AA’s 12 steps to recovery, and make the =meetings—that do so so much in promoting sobniety, WHAT‘S THE ANSWER?
Which is best, Mr. U.P.: A sober member of AA? Or a drunken member of society, in a heedless world that is powerless to help the alcoholic control him- self? One drink and the compul- sion is triggered off, that calls for more and more drink; and then it seems useless to try to stop. I am thoroughly convinced that AA IS the only solution.
‘‘All she needs is more will P0WeI',” says Mr. U. P. Will Power my eye! An alcoholic has more will power than almost any person living. Just let him run out of something to drink and you’ll ‘see how much will power

Disease it definitely is; and has been so proclaimed by medical personnel and welfare workers the ‘world ‘over. . . .
,.Believe me,.Mr. U.P., it would be wonderful if you. would visit and study the AA program, and understand it, and give it support in helping your wife. It would make you acquainted with God’s ‘spirit working in mankind (as love and forgiveness); and would lift you out of fear of “what peo- ple may think”-—when what they think can’t helpyou one bit. A.A.
HIS WIFE’S CROSS?
Dear Mary Haworth: Mr. U.P‘s bristling letter, about his wife’s claim that she needs to attend AA meetings, may well contain the tip-off as to why she became an" alcoholic in the first place. So far as his reputation is con- cerned, one’ thing seems certain: He must have a reputation for being a cold indifferent hypocrite. How can he imagine that he has escaped, the reputation of being married to an alcoholic? This is exactly the sort of thing people gossip about. ' Except -in the minds of persons as inhumane as he so vividly shows himself to be, he could
only gain respect by helping his
wife reclaim sobriety. May God protect her; but living with U.P. certainly adds‘ greatly to her trials. -
I wish you had let him have it, as you so frequently have done in other cases,»when-the cul- prit was far less deserving of a kick in the pants. Cordially, E.D.
MAN HAMSTRUNG
Dear E.D.: I confess my first impulse was to read the riot act to Mr. U.P., as. concerns his stupidly upstage attitude towards -his wife’s discovery of AA and all that it can do for her.
But on second thought I asked myself: What’s the use of belab- oring a -man ‘for his ignorance? If'he ‘knew better, doubtless he would do better. Therefore I gave ‘him a briefing about the tre- mendous c u r r e n t of spiritual power with which his wife has allied herself, and how it works. I hope I put the picture across. M. H.

HAPPENINGS
On Saturdayevening, February 8, a pleasant little card party in honour of Mr. D.H. MacKenzie, who recently 'etired from the Railway mail service division of the Post Office department, was held at the home of Mr. F.A. Coyle, 304 Richmond Street. The party was attended by a num- ber of Mr. Mackenzie’s former co- workers.
During the course of the eve- ning, an address and presenta- tion were made to the guest of honour. Mr. Mackenzie made a fitting reply in which he recalled many amusing incidents he had encountered during his 44 years service with the department.
Those in’ attendance besides the guest of honour were Messrs A.W. Downe, H.L. Smith, J. C‘. Cooke, P.J. ‘Landrigan, D. K. McLeod, and F.A. 'Coyle.
Mr. Mackenzie had formerly
been presented with a testimon- ial of service card from the post- master general and a letter from the duputy postmaster general in which the latter expressed the department’s appreciation of Mr. MacKenzie’s long and faithful ser- vice.
Mr. and Mrs. M.W. Wood en- tertained at their home on, Tues- day evening when a miscellan- eous shower was tendered to Miss Dorothy Wood, popular young bride-to-be of Cross Roads. Af- ter the large crowd had gather- ed, the bride-to-be xwas escort- ed to the seat of honor by Miss Jean MacKinnon to the strains of “Here comes the Bride.” ‘
Little Misses Mary Reeves and Beverly MacKinnon presented the heavily-laden baskets of gifts, which were opened by Miss Wood, assisted by Miss Beatrice Far-
