on Monday. June 7th. the sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood. 123 Sydney Street, Charlottetown, are to observe the Silver Jubilee of their foundation in this city. Due to lack of room to accommodatetheir many friends and benefactors. they are unable to hold any public cele- bration. They had hoped to begin their new Monastry this spring, and had planned on celebrating this an- niversary in their new quarters lat- er in the year. and - hold a public reception; ‘out their financial status makes this venture impossible for at least another year.

Founded at St. Hyacinthe, Que- bec. by Aurelia Caouette in 1861. the Sisters Adorers of the Most Precious Blood now count thirty- three Monasteries. The Sisters from the Monastry in China have been recalled to Canada and the United States until such time as condit- ions warrant their return there. Rome, Cuba. and Japan have also their Adorcrs.

In June, 1929, the Roman Cath- olic diocese of Charlottetown cele- brated the l00th anniversary of its founding and on that occasion His Excellency, the late Bishop Louis J. O‘Leary. erected a new sanctu- ary—thc Monastry of the Precious Blood, seven Sisters under the superiorship of Reverend Mother Saint Joseph having come from Edmonton to open the new. house. The original quarters having be- come overcrowded, in 1935 His Ex- cellency, Most Reverend J. A. O'- Sullivan, the then Bishop of Char- lottetown. gave the Sisters permiss- ion to build an addition. Now in 1954. the present Monastry is again facing need of expansion, but the present location makes this impos- sible.

Four of the original have left to help other foundat- ions—three still remaining. The present community now numbers twenty Sisters.. two from New- foundland, two from Nova Sootia, and the remainder from Prince Ed- ward Island.

Self-Govemlng

In the mind of the Foundress, each Monastery was to be self-g\1v- erning——lndependent, yet united by the common mics. usages and cus-

Saxion Cleared From Charges

NEW YORK. (AP) -—Well.er- weight boxer Johnny Saxton has been cleared of a charge of pos- sessing a .33-calibre revolver with- out a licence.

Saxton, 23, was arrested Wed- nesday night after his bride of a few months complained he had threatened her with a loaded gun_ When police arrived she withdrew her assault complaint, but Saxton was held on the gun charge.

In court Thursday, Magistrate Alexander Del Giorno dismissed the weapons charge because of lack of evidence.

Saxton is slated to fight welter- weight champion Kid Gnvllan in September for the title.

Large Number Of Women Graduates Al U. Of Montreal

MONTREAL (CPl——Nearly one of every seven graduates at Uni- versity of Montreal's convocation ceremonies is a woman.

And except for a few who are members of religious orders. they're all headed for careers. Slightly fewer than 100 womcn graduated in a class of 705 stil- dents Friday.

Eight of them took degrees in medicine, four in law, two in philosophy. apd the remainder in general arts and science. Most are from Montreal or nearby ccntrcs.

One of the outsiders. Georgina Junemann of Chile, got her Ph. D. in philosophy and psychology. She intends to return home to teach these subjects at the University of Chile.

for teachers supplements and the amount of 82150. was voted for school running exxpenses. Mr. Charles Fraser was appointed as a Trustee, to fill the vacancy on the Board caused by the com- pletion of a three-year term by Mr. Cecil L. Lncheur.

' The meeting authorized the secretary to post a list of all da- faulters at once. The question of putting on an entertainment dur- ing the summer to assist the School Board in paying a number of outstanding accounts was dis- cussed. A commlttee was appoint- ed to contact the various organi- zations ln the town. asking them at the June monthly meeting to appoint delegates to meet at a future date to discuss the pro- posed entertainment.

The following compose this com.- mlttee: Convener —- Mrs. J. W. Lavera; Mrs. William Murphy, Mh. Walter Soloman. Mrs. Spur- geon Walker and Mr. Charles Fraser.

A vote of thanks moved by Mr. Raymond Soloman; was rendered the retiring Trustee. Mr. Cecil Le Lacheur. for his services during the past three years. The question of a curfew was discussed, with no definite decision being reached. ——A.G.

For the Midnight Hour of Repar- ation, all the Sisters wear a red 5 habit, symbolizing the Precious Blood which Jesus shed in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Sisters prelude their day with this rising at midnight for an hour's prayer. going back at one o'clock and rising again at five o'clock.

Their chief aim is prayer. They have their hours of work under- taken for their support. such as making church linens, altar breads for the whole island, priestly vest- mcnis, cassocks, and art, although the revenue from this work is not sufficient for their maintenance The charity of others, on which they must depend. has been con- stant sinco the arrival of the Sis- ters herc twenty-five years ago. In return for the kindness thus shown them. they strive to repay their benefactors by prayer and sacrifice.

The Sisters have daily Perpetual Adoration of the Most Precious Blood. Each evening of May, July and October they have Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at 530 on week-days, and at 4.30 on Sun- days. Benediction is also given on all Sundays and Fridays of the year, as well as on the principal Feasts of the Church. The Com- munity enjoys the prlvilnge of hav- ing Exposition of the Blessed Sac- rament day and night. on the first Sunday of cach month. and during the Forty Hours’ Devotion, which taku place four times a year.

Committee Report

"The Committee," it was re- ported, "have taken steps to pro- cure a suitable place for hold- ing iheir meetings, and for keep- ing the collections of ‘/.e Society. Although definite arrangements has yet been made, they have reason to hope that the Govern- ment will shortly place at their disposal suitable apartments in

the Provincial Building for this purpose. "The Committee intend to ap-

ply lo the Legislature at its next meeting for an Act of Incorpora- tion of the Society. it is expect- ed that at the next session leg- islative provlsion will also be made for an amalgamation of the Legislative Library with that of the Society. under the joint man- agement of a committee selected from the members of both bodies. as has been done in Nova Scotla. Under such management the Leg- islative Library of Nova Scotia which, until the amalgamation, was fast going to ruin from neglect on the part of the Government has now become one of the best Provincial Libraries in the Dam- inion, and equally beneficial re- sults will follow if a similar course is adopted. Our Provincial Library has suffered much from lack of efficient management in the past. Many of the most valu- able works are rendered incom- plete from volumes having been lent or taken without nuthorlity, and never returned.
