Charles Ellis, Knutsford on June 14th, 1949 in his 83rd year. He was apparently in good health onlyaot times complained of head-

‘aches. During the last couple of months his condition was such that

l he entered the, P. E. I. Hospital for treatment for a couple of weeks. He returned to his home again and a few days later upon the advice

of his doctor went to Montreal

General Hospital by plane accom-

panied by his father and it-was

there that he was found to be suf- fering from a very painful and malignant disease. An emergency operation was performed to re- lieve his suffering and for e time hopes were held for his recovery. but on the following ‘Tuesday a bigger and more delicate operation was performed from which he never rallied. Ralph was onoof the communities most highly respect- ed citizens, kind, hospitable in his home, a good neighbor and a true friend, always ready to help in time of sickness or wherever help was needed, end was never heard to murmur or complain. He will be greatly‘ missed in the commun- ity, but itiis in the home the loss is felt more deeply, where a de- voted husband and loving father has been taken sway so suddenly in the prime of life. But as our

Essay Discusses Rural Recreation

The following essay by Miss Joan Hewlett, GowarrBrae, was read by her at a recent district

convention of Women's Institutes: O

Country font-bk Social Needs Ther is a great deal of anxiety these ys about the departure of so many of the country. youth to permanent life in the city}

Such cltyward migration is a serious state of affairs, especially in our Island Province, where one leea so many once prosperous farm homes going to ruin and the land growing again into a wild- erness.

No doubt there are various rea- sons for this situation, various remedies have been suggested as a cure for the trouble — such as rural electrification; shorter work- ing hours for the farmer, and more security in case of loss and crop failure. These improvements if ever introduced, should certain- Iy be some incentive to young

, ‘ tofitay on the farm. bu‘- there is one thing that would be a much greater ntlcement to the young the assurance of amuse- ment and recreation. In fact, rur- al electrification will be of little avail, if this matter of recreation is neglected.

Pioneer Times

lt is true that country people in general were happier and much more contented in pioneer days when electricity was not even dreamed of, when work was hard- er and working hours longer than they are today and when security in case of loss did not exist.

Why were these people happier and more contented than the people of today? ,Because they had recreation and entertainment.

It is undeniably true that there is a craving for recreation in the human heart. Just consider the number of people who attend the horse races on unbearably hot days in the summer: the crowds which fill rink! to capacity in ex- tremely cold weather ln winter, and the distance that many peo- ple drive or even walk to see a

try hall, where accommodation in ‘ many cases, is very poor. This instinct for social life I seems to arise from a desire to be wherever the crowd is. Many people who attend hockey matches, lhorse races and shows, go, nut because they are interested in the sport. but they know that thorn they may meet and have the op- llortunity to chat with many of their acquaintances. 1t were Possible to canvass the young people. who have lefi or who desire to leave thecoun- try in favour of the city and ask them why they had left or wero so dissatisfied they invariably would answer "I'm tired of the| place there is nothing to do but‘ work, eat and sleep." so let us ask ourselves are those people not. justified in leaving the country? As has already been said, the people of pioneer days had their o\vn recreation which very often consisted of nothing but a stump- ing or chopping frolic and the inevitable dance that night. When one hears his grandfather

, or any of our elders relate some

of the stories of those days he can readily understand that these people were happy and contented in the country. They provided for their own amusements just as they provided for their other needs, conveniences and luxuries.

Changed Conditions Since times have ‘- ~' and people have lost to a great extent their versatility in providing for their own needs, they have to depend for the most part, on the manufacturing plant to supply them, They also have lost their ability to provide their own en- tertainment and have to depend on some public organization to provide such recreation.

Wherever there is no such or- ganization the social life of that. community ls practically non-ex- istant. <

If our Island is going to revert to the state that it’ once lrnew_ when all our farm homes were occupied and all the land was under bultivation, some pro- gramme for the preservation and betterment of rural life is impera- tlve. In such a programme ample provision should be made for the social, as well as the material wel- fare of ‘the farm youth. In the inauguration of any scheme for the betterment of social life, the initiative will have to be taken by the youth, with the older‘ people assisting and co-operlting in every possible way. The fact that there are so many efficient- ly operated skating rinks ln the country communities, is sufficient to prove that the young people once organized, can provide re- creational centres for themselves.

Four Essentials

There are four essentials for the success of such an undertak- ing, organization, financial‘ sup- port, guidance snd encourage- ment. The first and most inQpor- tant could be taken care o by the young pepoie themseive... once

organized and enthusiastic, they could find ways end means of providing for their financial

needs. Any further financial as- sistance might be provided for by such an organization as credit un- ions, church organlzatignsl,’ or

All those who are interested in the welfare of country youth and who are concerned about this cityward trend should realize that part of the cause is to be found in the social condition I have just outlined.
