Annual Retreat At ilotrelame

The formal opening of the Annual Retreat for women in Charlotte- town Diocese was held in Noti-c Dame Academy at 7.30 Friday evening July met. when a group of zealous retreptants were pres- ent to take part in the spiritual exercises conducted by Rev. David Edward. 0. SI. R.

Fecedlng Benediction, Father Edward spoke on the value of the Retreat as a means of personal unctification. During this time of withdrawal from mundane affairs. in earnest prayer and meditation, the retreatsnt is given. as it were. the opportunity of marshalling the forces of good for the soul, to com- bat the spirit of evil which is eter- nally waning against it.

During the, period of Retreat. t.hree conferences were given daily by the Retreat Master, whose elo- quence and directness impressed on the hearts of his listeners the need of building up through prayer and good works, sanctifying grace in the life of the souls. making it. as it were, the foundation from which all spiritual values radiate.

Many beautiful illustrations of God's great love for suffering hu- manity during His life on earth were depicted by the Reverend speaker. So many blessings have baen conferred on humanity bv the creator that we should live our lives in thanksgiving and in rep- aration lor our offenses and in- gratitude. Meditating on this with faith and hope. the failures of the past do not seem such a cause of u- couragement. nor do the suf- ferings and difficulties of the pre- sent appear so insurmountable.

Father Edward counselled re- treatants to be vigilant. especially in their own families. in combat- ting such insidious movements as materialism, which wars against spiritual values; rationalism, or liv- ing according to reason. and fail- ure to accept God's revelations: naturalism, a forgetfulness of the supernatural character of life.

At the closing conference on Sunday evening. the Reverend Fa- ther oommended the retreatants fo. the fervor with which they had canted out the spiritual exer- cises. He impressed on them the need of ever keeping in mind, and putting into practice in everyday life, the principles of right living. Enter. he said. into the spirit of the Holy Year with greater devo- tion so that greater spiritual stat- ure may be attained.

Father Edward then imparted the papal blessing, which was fol- lowed by Benediction of the Bless- ed Sacrament. The beauty of the altar was enhanced with lights and flowers. and the Academy choir rendered lovely hymns during the morning and evening services. Fol- lowing the closing the appreciation and gratitude of the retreatants was fitting-ly expressed to Rever- end Father Edward for the spirit- ual aid he had siven them through his inspiring counsel. This was extended to Reverend Mother Superior and sisters of the Acad- emy for the privilege of holdlnz the Retreat in Notre Dame. and for the cordial hospitality and kindly thought for the comfort 0 all who were in attendance-

Incidentally, the first retreat for women. sponsored by the Catholic women's League, was held in Notre Dame in 1936. and the suc- eess and growth of the movement are due in a great measure to the kindness and co-operation of the Reverend SuP0l'101'5 Ind 51"'"9-

The retreat was organized by the Provincial convener, Mrs. Em- est Rossiter, and her commlttex

Island Odds And Ends

we take it too much for granted that Europe is behind the New World in every respect. Such an as- sumption is wide of the mark in many cases. For instance. while the housewives of Canada and the United States are having much trouble in obtaining and holding domestic help, Sweden by wise leg- islation seems to have solved the problem.

The Swedish parliament passed a bill sometime,ago called the

day Act. which gives people in domestic employment recognized rights as to hours and wages, and protects them against exploitation. Domestics are paid at the rate of seventy-five (75) cents per day. No domestic is required to work beyond seven o'clock in the even- ing, and is given one-half day of! each week commencing at 2 p. in. They are also entitled to every sec- ond Sunday.

Paid holidays are allowed after a period of twelve (12) month's ser- vice at the rate of one day for each calendar month worked. Younger persons are entitled to an addit- ional half day for each month of service, if at the beginning of the month they are under eighteen years of age. The tune of taking holidays is fixed by the employer who must inform the employee at least fourteen (14) days in advance. Annual holidays are girantcdl for one continuous period, unless agreement to the contrary has been reached. In general. these doing domestic work get fifteen (15) days annual holidays.

eon

Holiday compensation is also payable. Employees paid at time rates reckoned by the week or a longer unit of time. are entitled for the period of the holidays to their normal wages.

Even in Canada the day when domestic help could be hired for extremely low wages, to work long hours is gone by. Social legislation such as. Family Allowances has given the poorest of folk. enough independence to demand reasonable wages . and reasonable hours of work. People who have realized that things are not as they used to be. and accept the fact: can still get domestic help and keep it. They treat their help with consideration and kindness and are rewarded for their thoughtfulness.

The country horse race still holds its appeal for Wednesday half holiday folk. Covehead drew a big gate for its races last week and the patrons had no complaints about the four race card which was presented. Fast time, driving fin- ishes, good weather all helped to give pleasure to people in stands and paddock.

"Doug" MacL'eod race-track fol- lower and official for many years was the starting Judge. 1-le hand- led the four classes, some quite large with good judgement and kept the programme moving smart- ly throughout the afternoon. All four classes with an extra heat thrown in for good measure. were completed around -six o'clock.

Mar. Willis. track owner can be credited with another crowd-pleas- ing day; "The Parlor Track" is not only liked by the horses-wit- ness the fast time made there- but by the public as well. This seems to make. it unanimous.

O I

"Too little and too late" is dos-

criptive of American reverses in Korea to the present date. It has always been so with non-military democracies like the U. S. Pushed into wars against their will, they find themselves outnumbered out-' gunned, and on the losing and- for a while. Twice the Germans. superbly ready have practically mopped up all opposition-in 1914 and 1939, only to be crushed by aroused civ- ilians wearing miiitary garb. The old act is being repeated once more. The Russian controlled Koreans are winning battles all along the line. They may win more but they will lose their war just as soon as the might and power of America begins to build up in the battle area. war production will count in the end and the Yanks are clearly masters in this field.
