Jobs Campaign To Ease Seasonal Unemployment

During the week March Llth tn Nth the National Employment Of- fice In Charlottetown. will carry out a campaign to relieve '

ment Offices across Canada. are carrying out similar programs.

In this centennial year, the Charlottetown Office. believes that citizens will be anxious to have their homes and business estab- lishments and the entire city, looking its best. It is known that many citizens plan to repair, renovate, paint and otherwise im- prove their properties. and the local Office is asking that they plan to carry out these irnprove- ments at the earliest possible moment.

It is pointed out that if home owners. tradesmen, and all other agencies in a position to hire workers co-operate. many men can be put back to work before the usual Spring rush starts. Em- ployment Office officials emphas- ize that at this time of year, mat- erials are more readily obtainable than at any other time of the sea- son. It is also to be borne in mind say the officials that carpenters. plumbers, electricians and labour- ers. and all types of help are also more readily to be had. than dur- ing the summer or late Ipring months.

' to their properties and feel that the Campaign will remind these people that now is the time to carry out these imp. vements. The committee which held a meeting Tuesday. March 8th. is convinced that if an earnest effort is made by everybody. many men can he put back to work within the next two or three weeks. The overall affect in Charlottetown would be of greatest benefit say members of the commitiee.

Officials of he local office are prepared to supply all types of tradesmen. The files of the local office are well filled with capable workers and orders will be taken by telephone and any desired in- formation gladly furnished.

Charlottetown has several large building projects awaiting com- mencement or underway at the present time. These projects will require many men in late Spring and early summer. When the con- struction program really gets un- derway. say employment officials. construction workers will be dif- ficult to obtain. It would be using good judgment in the opinion of the employment office for those planning to do smaller jobs. to get them done now when help and materials are more readily at hand.

The March meeting of the Mary Miller Evening Auxiliary of the W. M. S.. Trinity United Church. Charlottetown, was held on Mon- day evening in Heart: Hall, with a good attendance of membe a. and the president. Miss Dorothy Auld, presiding. The meeting was

, t with the singing of two verses of the hymn, "Oh Master let me walk with Thee." and pray- or by the president. The worship service under the leadership of Mrs. Stanley Thompson was open- ed with the singing of "Oh Jesus I have promised."

Several members took part in discussing the subject "What is Christian Stewardship”? The lead- er urged the members that for this year they should make their motto of Christian Stewardship, "It can be done." The scripture reading by Miss Morsop took for consideration the parable of the Watchful Servants. After a solo by

Mrs. R. P. Haley the worship service was concluded with pray-

the leadership of Mrs. Keith Ken- nedy and Mrs. R. P. Haley. It was stressed that the central task of the church is Evangelism. for whfeh different definitions could be given. The "Mass Movement" in India was described. where whole communities became Christ- in witnessing. And is largely in

Because of the church's at- titude to divorce she likely would have to sign a document giving up her rights and those of her heirs to 4 on the throne. She is third in succession. following Prince Charles. 0. and Princess Anne. 4. the Queen's children.

The Prime Minister played a big behind-the-scenes part in 1036 when King Edward VIII. now Duke of Windsor. quit the throne to marry Mrs. Wallis Simpson, a divorcee.

Churchill. then a.Conservative backbencher in the House of Com- mons. was strongly sympathetic to the King. Quarters close to the Prime Minister see no reason for believing he would not be equally sympathetic to the princess” ro- mance.

Townsend himself has given support to the reports recently by meeting the press freely in Brus- sels, although his answers have been largely non-committal. He has known the princess since he was an equerry to King George VI at 29 and she was 13.

Health Grants

We sent our Veterinarian in the Sanitary Engineering Department to a large Health Unit in Ontario to study the control of milk. "Hospital Construction Grants: 859,230. This will nearly all be used with the building of our new Active Treatment Centre. "Mental Health Grant: 875,058. This is used for our staff and rent of the centre. It pays for our consultant services from Hali- fax. It is also used to train per- sonnel such as psychiatrists. nurses, technicians. etc. and if possible to obtain additional staff we will expand in the year to come.

"General Public Health Grant: We have used this grant to pay almost entirely the Sanitary En- gineering staff and the Dental Division Staff, also assisted to maintain the office at Summer- side.

"There has been something said about Hospital Grants to the hos- pitals throughout the Island and so far as I am personally con- cerned. I would like nothing bet- ter than to tell those interested that the Government decided to so do; but at the same time I must think about the Province as a whole in all the departments under my administration. It is only natural to assume if I get more money for one department then some other will have to do without it we are going to serve all the people with the amount of money allotted to the Depart- ment of Health. With this in mind and also the fact some were in favor of increasing the grants this year. I have made a very short comparison for the infor- mation of the House and the people of this Province."

Annual. Banquet St Dunstan's Philosophers

At the Charlottetown lfoiel on Monday. March 7, the philosophy students of St. Dunatan's ss- sembled. with invited guests. to celebrate the feast of SL..TIIOIIIB5 Aquinas. the great philosopher and theologian of the thirteenth century. who claims world-wide recognition as the patron of Cath- olic schools. The banquet fittingly began when Mr. Gerald Kilbride. the capable toastinaster, called upon His Excellency. Bishop Mac- Eachern. to say Grace and lead in the prayer for the Pope. y

Following a delicious dinner. the toast to the Queen received a warm response from all. The toastmaster, Mr. Kilbrlde. l-I185 proposed the following toasts: The Church, responded by Andrew MacDonald; The Day We Cele- brate. responded by R. A. wedge; Our Country. responded by J. H. R. Wedge; Our College. responded) by William Quinn; The Ladies. r A it by Mary Farmer.

After the various toasts and their very appropriate responses, followed the highlight of the ban- quet which was a special address delivered by the guest speaker, Rt. Rev. Msgr. McMahon D.P..

D

Monsignor McMahon. rector of St. Dunstan's Basilica. is well known as a speaker and is well versed in the art of after dinner address. He introduced his ad- dress with some of his charact- eristic clever wit thereby immedi- ately winning the attention of all present. In the outset he express- ed his intention to keep away from involved philosophical terms. This served to make his speech very down to earth, practical and inter- esting.

" ' McMahon spoke on

truth. He pointed out the need to- day for educated men and women who know the truth and love it enough to defend it and propagate it. The anti-Christian propaganda let loose in the world today, seek- ing to capture the souls of men is founded on lies. The greatest lie of today is the supremacy of the state over the body and soul of man and his reduction to a chattel or a cog in a State machine. He spoke of the lack of moral truth in the world today and the con- sequent aln and degradation in the lives of so many. To these errors. so rife In the world today. educated men and women because they should wield mar; influence. must oppose the trut

ing on members of the Mystical Body of Christ to work for the sal- vation of souls. but he warned that without personal integrity and moral goodness in the individual. he would accomplish nothing. The great battles waged by Christen- dom against the infidel in days gone by were won by the prayers of the Church and the sacrifices
