Brooder House Destroyed By Fire

What might have ended in I tragedy was narrowly averted yes- ferday at 1 pm when I flooded n.l brooder exploded on the farm nf sir. Parker Wood on st. Peter's Road, setting flre to the brooder house.

Mr. Wood had just completed placing 500 chicks under the

A iirooder when he found that the more was not taking all. As he removed the pipe to check on the fault, a blast of flaming oil hurled the stove from its location. l-le endeavoured to push the stove ahead of him out the door where it. jammed, and for a. few horri- tvuig momenta his escape was cut 0

A neighbour arriving in the nick of time grappled with the stove from the outside and Mr. Wood reached the open air and safety Jilst as the interior of the small broader house became a mass of flames. Chicks and brooder house were a total loss.

A detachment from the City Fire Department arrived shortly after and stopped the fire from spread- ing to adjacent buildings.

Music Festival Ass'n., Charlottetown:

Question-

Last week in this column you asked for ideas as to how both and- ience and performers could be seat- ed in order to see and hear the final concert programmes. The sol- ution ia so obvious that it seems to me to need no pointing out. If P. W.C, auditorium where these concerts have been held is too small. why not hire one of the theatres, or even the Forum?

B. F. M.

Dear B. F. M.

Itmsvbeasurprisetoyouto learn that the capacity of the Prince Edward. our largest theatre. is only 980 and that no other hall larger then P. W. C. exists in our city at the present time.

The possibilities of the Forum have also not been overlooked by your committee but major obstacles here are the coat and the fact this building cannot be heated and this might be an absolute. necessity in early May,

It and when a high school is erected here it is hoped an auditor- ium capable of seating 2,000 persons will be included in the plan, for if such were available on occasions as these, one of the many problems faced by your Concert Committee would be solved.

The Week at S.D.U.

, Last Saturday and Monday were our days of reckoning as the authorities iri"thelr own little ways required an account of our stew- ardship. We speak of the mid- term exams of course. It seems difficult to believe but we are now on the home-stretch with just a. little over two months remaining in the term, and less than a. week and a half before the (Easter holi- days. Extra.-academic activities are now on the decline and especially since the exams everyone has re- ceived that extra impetus" for a renewed and greater effort on the studies. In the confusion of last week's preparations, one of the things neglected was last satur- day's "Week", in which we meant to tell you among other things,0of the Philosophersl Banquet on st. Thomas Aquinust least, and the basketball game with St. F. X. 0 O 0 Last weekend, Father Allan Mac- Donald, the devoted faculty ad- viser for the local World Univer- sity service of Canada, attended the Maritime Regional Conference of the W. U. S. C. at St. Mary's University in Halifax. There are about eight committees of this national organization in the dif- ferent Maritime universliies, and these have always been, and are a strong factor in realizing the ob- jectives of the W.U.S.C. The busi- ness of this conference centered particularly around the forthcom- ing Summer Seminar in India, and in deciding on the future fin- ancial policy of the Maritime W. U.S.C. The dates of the complete Seminar trip have now been ten- tatively set from May 2'lth until September 16th, and the location of the Seminar proper at Banga- lore in southern India. This early date Fllb been decided on in order that he delegates may attend the Coronation ceremonies in London on June 2. Applications received will be considered by a local selec- tion committeo of faculty and stu- dent representatives, and their choice made the first of next week, will then be referred to the Na- tional Office in Toronto for final confirmation around April 7th. 0 O O

The first basketball team has won the admiration of Maritime fans for their recent feats against the powerful Xaverlans. Theywere singularly succusful in winning the N. B.-P. E. I. series without losing a game and in setting a scoring record for Maritime bask- etball. In their first game with St. F. X. in the College gym they lost by the slim margin of 43-46. This was by far the best game ever played here and a very hard one to lose since the scoring was so close throughout.
