T, May 2o.—'1‘hc Mari- _t'ime track and field meet for 1929 was awarded to the ‘Saint John Y. M. U, A. at iastonny semi-annual meet- ing of the M. P. B. A. A. U. of here Wednesday.

, Hockey matters, engaged the at. Cof the meeting in its earlier nd Charles G. Gillespie, oi . insisted? that the M. P. B. g require a report upon the affairs of the i Maritime Amateur Hockey Association, particularly in connection with the failure of the

a Monctél

_ oiflcia

hockey body to make a definite fin-

ancial report at the last session of

the Maritime branch.

Eventually the matter was drop-

pcd but Mr. Gillespie stated that the issue would be thrashed out at the annual meeting.

An application was received from the Y. M. ‘C. A. of Saint John re- questing that they be awarded the Maritime track and field champion- ships for 1829 and ,the application

received the‘ concurrence of the ‘meeting. A prolonged discussion relative to interscholastic sports resulted, with President Fraser and Secretary Ship- ley stating that the Interscholastic ' body to be properly defined andmake annual reports to the M. P. B. Mr Shiplcy pjganced a new educational policy f5!‘ junior and athletes by offering for the approv- al of the meeting a lower rate of af- filiation fees for the younger clubs with a lO-ccnt amateur card for the junior and interscholastic athletes. Junior "clubs, he stated. should pay the nominal affiliation fe-e of $1 with the intermediate clubs paying $2 but lacking the voting power of the senior organizations. Junior cards would be priced at 10 cents. After some discussion the meeting closed with the idea.

A reduction in the cost of sanc- tions for exhibition baseball games was made from $5 to $2.50.

Charles Gillespie took exception to the house league basball policy oi several towns in Nova Scotia, in- eluding Dartmouth. 'I‘ruro. Amherst and the smaller centres by stating that Moncton and Saint John could form representative teams on a. si- milar basis.

means of communication would be necessary to intelligent beings. and straightway conferred upon them the power to speak. Provldentlal foresight thus afforded contemporary beings a direct means oi intercourse. But the passage of time necessitated one more link to make the chain of human un- derstanding complete. and this was finally supplied through the medium oi the written word.

No other single accomplishment of Man has contributed so substantially to the progress and cultivation of hu- man society as has his ability to write. The literature of any country consti- tutes an inexhaustible source of wealth to its citizens: for in it they find re- corded the wisdom and accomplish- ments of the great men of former ages. To the authors of the different cen- turies we owe indeed a meed of grati- tude. To them we go to imbibe the knowledge and the truths which great

But the man who reads for the pure enjoyment which books afford him should be guided by his inclinaq tions.

Reading is an excellent antidote for sorrow. In no other pursuit is one's conscious self so completely submerged as in the reading of a. good book. The interested reader takes no note of his surroundings or of tho passing of time. He is for the time being entirely divorced from his cares and living in a world apart. If one is merely tired he may soothe his nerves by indulging in light, airy literature; but if one is weighed down by a great sorrow he must sack his contfort from more scri- ous books. The melancholy spirit de- rives no solace front an author whose books are overflowing with the joy of life.

Their renders. as is quite new turnlTfar outnumber the readers of_ ancient authors. although it is gener-. ally conceded that the older writings; judged from a literary tandpoint. are, much superior. From these two sources. f ancient and modern. the reader of to- 1 day derives his mental stimulus. i The average reader turns to books‘ for either of two main purposes: for information, or for recreation. To what authors we apply ourselves is deter- mined by the nature of the informs.- tion we seek. or by the taste for lighter literature which we possess. In either can we have a vast treasury from which to draw at any time we so de- sire. There is scarcely any field of human knowledge which our fore- fathers have not explored; and they have faithfully handed down their findings to us in their writings. In books we find the accumulated know-' lodge of centuries ready at our dir- pooal. Tho writers of each generation began when their predecessor left off. so that we have recounted fully
