Fine Historical Exhibition At P.W.C. tiger Way

Shlllaliiahs, firearms. household equipment. and pieces of fine jewellery are but a few of the many cal items at present on display in the auditorium of the Prince of Wales College.

Arranged "try the Imperial Or- der Daughters of the Empire, much thought and preparation has been put into the gathering of a display which will be of great interest to visitors to this Zlty during the week of festivi- ties, and also to many localltes who are interested in the history if this Province.

A group of articles taken from the "Marco Polo". after it was wrecked in 1883. include its com- pass, sextant, and an ancient carved wooden chest. Near this group are pieces of ancient house- hold equipment which include spinning wheels. yarn winders, csrdera, candle moulds, pewter ware, and various items of furni-

turre.

One of the more unusual pieces on display is a hair wreath table. The beautifully csrvcd piece has a glass top under which is placed an elaborate wreath. entirely made from strands of various colored human hair.

The shillallah on display is one which was used in the Belfast Riot, and near it is a Blackthorn stick which was brought to the Island in 1781. Against the south wall of the auditorium is a dis- play case containing an excellent collection of old jewellery, china, silverware. and pieces of fragile old lace.

Many maps of various parts of the Province are shown around the walls, and paintings of form- er Island ecenes have also been loaned for the occasion. One oi the more outstanding of these latter is of Government Ilouse. painted in 1877.

The display will be open to the public until the end of the week and is one of the features which should be included on everyone's progpam of places to visit.

Special Speakers At Trinity United Church

Church services at Trinity Un- ited Church Sunday morning had a slightly unusual flavor as two former ministers were in the pul- pit with Rev. H.E.D. Ashford They were Rev. Dr. Hugh Miller, Campbeiiton, N.B., who left the pastorate, here in 1943. and Rev. Dr. E.H. Ramsay, Saint John, who left the church here in l930. In the evening the service was taken by Rev. J.S. Bonnell, min- later of the Fifth Avenue Presby- tcrian Church, New York.

Rev. Dr. Ramsay offered his congratulations to the congrega- tion for the strides the church had made in the years since he left. He called it a iunique' devel- opmcnt, and expressed the wish that the successes of the future might be compatible with the achievements of the past. The morning sermon was preached by Dr. Miller who took as his text. "My House shall be called a House of Prayer. but Ye have made it a den of thieves". Dr. Miller pointed out that even the aspirations of God can be thwarted by the de- signs of man. He said that "We, and we alone. can make the church a house of prayer or oth- erwise".

During the evening service Dr. Bonnell said that "Dominion Day is an appropriate time at which to examine the moral foundations of Canadian Life." He noted that forces are at work in this country seeking the triumph of material- ism and remarked that moral standards cannot remain in the life of a. motion unless they are supported by a vigorous spiritual life.

iluories Minister tie Meaning of Unusual Word

OTTAWA, June 29 - (Special) -Jean Lesage. parliamentary as- sistant to External Affairs Min- ister Pcaireon was temporarily caught off base in the Commons today by W. Chester 5. McLure, Conservative member for Queen's.

Just prior to the opening of the House at 1'1 o'clock this XTTOITXYTXIIE. Mr. MloLure found an External Affairs press release in his stack of mail. The release advertised a UNESCO scholarship and set forth that candidates ”should be music- ologists." A quick check in the two volume Oxford dictionary for the word "musicologist" revealed to Mr. McLure that the Oxford dic- tionary authorities did not re- cognize it as an English word in 1950.

During the question period in the chamber, he asked Mr. Lcaage what the meanhu of the word was.. The Parliamentary assistant replied that he had not seem the release but.,promi.sed a definition later in the day. In the afternoon.

culled from Webster's In-tema- tionsi Dictionary. A musicologist is a person who has investigated the history and science of music and musical documents.

"I would say that my mend the honoralble member for Queen's could be classified as a musician -but not as a muaicoiogist. He could be classified as a musician because of his musical voice," said Mr. Lesage.

"The honorable member does not know whether he, (Mr. Mc- Lure) is a uusicoiogist or not," interposed Gordon Graydon. Cori- servative member for Peel. "He might be."

Mr. McLure, whose interest in music of years' standing stems from the intensive musical train- ing of his daughter, Miss Lena MoLure, of Toronto. told. The Guardian that he had come across the word somewhere before, but was not sure whether it was an established word in the English language or whether-' it was some sort of "officlalese" or what is known in Washington as "gob- bledegook". Since it is not list- ed in the Oxford Dictionary which has 2,494 pages and about a quar- ter of a million words, he ques- tions whether it is widely oc- copied.

..:.L.-.:.:.L.:. mittee was appointed. Place of naxt meeting was undecided. Christian Stewardship secretary gave an interesting reading. Dc- vottonal period was led by devot- ional committee in charge. Re- freshments were served by the hostess and committee in charge. Benediction closed a very interest- ing meeting.

Junior Mission Band of York United Church held its Juno meeting with the leader. Mrs. Al- lan Swan opening the meeting. Members repeated the Purpose. Hymn 594. "Praise Him". Respons- ivo reading followed by prayer; minutes of meeting were read and approved. Roll call was answered by eighteen members. Collection was twenty cents.

Exhibit Shows Early Methods I Of Communication

In the Legislative Chamber of the Provincial Building in Char- lottetown is an historical exhibit of the early methods of coin- munication between Prince Ed- ward Island and the mainland which has been arranged in con- nection with the festivities of Festival Week. Displayed on tables in the Leg- islative Chamber are some of the early telegraph instruments used for the transmission of telegrams at the time of the laying of the first submarine cable in North America. between Cape Tormen- tme in New Brunswick and Carle- ton Head on Prince Edward Is- land in 185G, as well as those of subsequent dates. The instru- ments were kindly loaned for the occasion by the Canadian Na- tional Teiiegraphs. A unique feature of the display is a tape recording machine of 1846 with the latest counterpart, is teleprintc-r carrying the latest Canadian Press news bulletins. Also on display are photographic enlargements of the earliest meth- ods of crossing the Strait of North- umberland between Prince Edward Island and the mainland. These depict the ice boats used between Cape Tormentine and Cape Tra- verse; the world's first ice break- er, which ran between Pictou and Georgetown in 1877-78, known as the "Northern Light.” This ex- periment proved that it was pos- siible to establish winter passage across the Strait. Also shown is a photographic enlargement of the world's largest ice-breaking car- ferry, the "Arbegweit", now in service between Cape Tormentine and Borden which, in addition to carrying railway cans, also trans- ports motor vehicles across the Strait, and is operated by the Canadian National Railways.

Another photographic enlarge- ment shows the laying of the first submarine cable at Carleton Head.

Tied in with this exhibit are motion pictures in colour show-

land, also a sound color film en- titled "Canadian Heritage", de- picting the folklore and customs of the nationalities that make up the people of Canada. This mo- tion picture has received wide ac- claim and was given an academy award. it was produced under the auspices of the Public Rela- tions Department of the Canadian National Railways and is on loan from the railways' motion picture film library.

The exhibit is well worth sce- ing and forms a fitting part of the programme ofevents for Fes- tive Week. The motion pictures are being shown on the hour be- tween ten o'clock and noon in the morning and between two and five oiclock in the afternoon.
