Rea l made to the Rev. T. E. McLennan, pastor of Trinity United CIillfCfl,

yesterday at Stanhope Beach. Tue easasion was the annual picnic held by the Men's Association d '.l‘rinity United Church.

"The great company of your peo- ple assembled here today are met together not only to enjoy a sum- mer outing, but also to do honor to you, their friend and spiritual guide. It is with great happiness that we look back upon the years oi your ministry among us. No div- isions have marred the peace of cub congregational life. No failu.e on your part has given the least cause for dissatisfaction. In largo numbers we have gathered from Sunday to Sunday to join with you in solemn acts of worship and to listen with heart-searching yet with encouragement and comfort to your presentation of the Gospel message. We have known your tender ministration: to the sick and afflicted, and have delighted in your fellowship as we have taken part with you in the work of our church or in social pleasures. Un- der your leadership 'I‘r1nity United Church has not only grown in numbers and in the efficiency of its organization; it has also grown in unity of spirit and in zeal for the cause, while your preaching has revealed to us in ever clearer vision how essential to world peace and human welfare everywhere are the righteousness and brother- hood which are instilled in men's hearts by Christ's gospel.

"We cannot think of your life among us without feelings of the highest esteem for your famhy. Mrs. McLennan has worked quiet-y but effectively in the activities of the church. and along with your sons and daughters has won the

admiration andnsiifectionate regard-

of all our people.

"It was therefore with something like consternation that we learned of the impending break in your as- sociation with us. We know, now- ever, that greater opportunities lo: service have been presented; and while we regret your going, we congratulate you heartily on your advancement and on the splendid prospects now openini belflfe YW-

"Please be assured that you and Mrs. McLennan and your fannly will leave behind a host of gratcu... hearts and countless happy mem- ories, and will bear with Y0“ 9° your new home the sincere good wishes of a multitude of friends. ,

"At the instance of the Mcul Association a very large number 0i you; people have joined their small offerings as a token of affection and esteem, which on their behalf we have pleasure in now present- ing to you." '

lied iirose Will Open Glasses In Swimming Today

The Red. Cross Swimming and Water Safety Committee regret very much that the two new bath houses in Charlottetown are not quite completed for the open- ing day of this summer's classes. The unfavorable weather has re- tarded the progress of these build- ings. However, the contractors, L. M. Poole and Co. and Mr. Bow- den Myers give assurance that within a few more days these st- traotive buildings will be ready for the use of the young citizens of Charlottetown.

The enrollment of classes will take place today as advertised and although the actual water work may not start for a day or so it is hoped that all who are interest- ed in joining‘ the Red Cmss Swim- ming and Water Safety Classes will report to Brighton or Ken- sington Beach this morning. Each candidate will be given a mem- bership card which must be taken home to be signed by the parent or guardian.

All possible y. sutions will be taken to ensure the safety of the members of these classes. Small life saving boats have been placed at each beach. These boats are equipped with ring buoys and life lines. First Aid kits will be placed at each bath house. ‘The swimming and water safety instructors are

Mammoth United Church Picnic ileld At National Park

In spite of the threatening weather, yesterday, hundreds of members and adherents of Trin- ity United Church of this City and their families attended the Annual Congregational Picnic at the National Park Picnic Grounds, Stanhope. The outing was an out- standing success in every way and was a most fitting send-off to the Pastor, Rev. T. E. McLennan who l ves shortly for Montreal where

will resume his ministry in St. James United Church.

‘Transportation of adults and kiddies to-Stanhopa-was looked a1- ter by an able committee of Mr. W. H. Beaton and Major George Craig. These gentleman did an ex- cellent job, using buses, trucks and cars. , ,

The Band of the 17th. (PEI) Recce Regt. under Bandmaster Tom McFarlane was in attendance and rendered many lively and pleasing selections during the af- ternoon and evening adding much to the success of the whole picnic.

Another big factor in making things run smoothly and which was a real contribution to the suc- cess of the Picnic was the R. C. C. S. Sound Inn-y kindly loaned for the occasion by the Officer Com- manding 5 Div. Slgs. Lt. Col. F. J. storey.

A most successful series of age races for boys and girls was run off being highlighted by the mar- ried men's and married women's races and the Special Match Race between George Craig and Jack MacNair. All three of these races produced thrills aplenty but the Match Race was a thriller all the way with all spectators looking forward to a re-running of the event next year.

On conclusion of the sports pro- gramme an address was read by Mr. Jack MacNair on behalf of -t.he Men's Association to Rev. T. B. and ivirs. MacLennan. Mr. Mc- Nair also made a suitable presen- tation to Mr. Mclennan and led in three rousing cheers for the popular pastor. Mir. MacLennan re- plied fittingly on behalf of him- self and his family.

‘The balance of the afternoon was whiled away in tossing quoits, playing softball and in patronizing the well-stocked canteen which was so efficiently arranged by Mr. S. T. Green and his committee and which was operated ivy Wal- lle Higgins fJr.) and his volunteer staff.

As usual this big event was con-

Holmens Celebrate who». wnrnluifl Anniversary This Week

Promptly at nine o'clock this morning in Summereide and Char- lottetown the curtain will raise on Holmanb Anniversary sale which has been planned to commemor- ate the 01st. anniversary of the founding of this mercantile or- ganisation. '

Every "guest" at the Birthday Party will be presented with a gift by a young lady known as “Little Miss 1857." These gifts will be taken from s huge Birthday Cake which will adorn the Dry Goods Department in Summerslde. “Little Miss 1857" will also play another important part in the celebrations in as much as she will issue ballot forms to customers for every dollar purchase made. A dralwing will follow with a grand prize of one hundred dollars worth of merchandise being awarded the winner in both stores.

The firm of R. T. Holman Ltd. was founded in 1857 by the late Robert ’I‘inson Holman, not in the large brick building the huslngsg occupies today. but in a. simple wooden structure 30 feet long by 20 feet wide.

Some years later the steady growth of the business, during both 300d and adverse times, necessi- tated larger premises, and a build- ing 50 by 100 feet was erected on Practically the same site.

In 1894 the first section of’ the present brick store was built. This has been enlarged and added to so that now Batman's occupies a building measuring 250 feet, 1n 1911801 by 1B3 feet wide, and four stories in height as well as num. arous warehouses and storage buildings, including a wharf,

It is made up of three modern de- Dflftments, china, hardware, my. niture; under the management o1 Robert ‘I’. Holman, grandson of the founder of the Holman Busi- ness. '

The Hardware Department is the Distribution centre in P. Ir. Island for all types of hardware, build; 1H8 Products. RCA. Victor Radios, Enterprise heating equipment, and electrical equipment.

The 5 se l0 Department includes an excellent and modern lunch counter. This department and the "Youth Centre"- the newest de. partment. which furnishes cloth- ing for the young, are on the same floor.

On the second floor in the Main store is the Pumiture Department. This is made up of a number oi’ sections and can supply all types of furniture and house furnish- ings. Mr. Robert Holman; besides managing the Charlottetown store is also in charge here.

In 1040 the Building Service De- partment w a s inaugurated. Through this department towns- people and farmers of the province can have buildings of any kind planned, built and financed. There are also Coal, Limrber and Pro- duce Departments.

Perhaps ‘the greatest change in business in. P. E. I. from olden days is the amounts of materials which are bought on "the island" today, as compared with the quan- tities purchased a. half century a- go. At that time practically all business was done on the barter system --accounts being settled in the form of farm produce. Today this is changed and while the pro- duce department is still one of im- portance it exists for the pur- pose of buying produce for the requirements of the farm-S.

I CAPT. JOHN ZARFAS Will bfil the special speaker at the Salvo-l

sale and manufacturing prices of ccmmodities and in the cost of liwng. The challenge to rejuven- ate community life is a trecnen- dous one, he continued, and the people of Morell have successfullyI accepted that challenge. | The speaker emphasized the need to ensure a high calibre ofl leadership in the movement in thel future and called for an increased‘ effort to attract young people as‘ members. I Evening Address I During the evening session My, McDonald was again called upon.‘ to address the meeting due to the unavoidable absence of the sohed. uled speaker. Mr. Gordon Smith of Hamilton, Ontario. Mr. MacDon- ald continued and expanded his] remarks given during the an"- noon session and. he discussed‘ other aspects of cooperative de- velopment. One of the important questions

facing society today is how to,

enrich rurhl life? Mr. MacDonald said that what he had seen 1n Morell was history-in-the-making, the rebirth of a community, 110,-.

Con- Pliiulns further, the speaker m3. cised the Society or which we are now a part and he vis- ualized a better Society with a greater measure of justice, charity, and economic security which wnuld result in benefit for the whole world. COoperatives are nlaylxig a vital part n. ‘bringing about that better Society.

Mnnopolistic Control

Turning to monopoly, Mr, Mug- Donald stated that one of the most serious things facing nn uncertain world is control by monopoly. In Canada. for example the frequent C°YYI5P°I 0f Pricing of commodities. If monopoly exists the state must step in and take control of the af- fected part of the econcmy sin~e the public welfare is at stake. He reminded his listeners, however, that cooperatives stand as a bal- ance wheel between extreme mon- opoly on the one hand and extremc Socialism nn the other.

In describing the international implication of fro-operatives, Mr. MacDonald remarked on his visit to the international ctr-operatives conference in Zurich. Switzerland in 1946. at which he was the Can- adian delcgate. At that time the International Cooperative Petrol- eum was set up in order to take the profit motive out of international trade. The sneaker pointed out the importance of this effort in bulld- ing international pesce and good- will.

In his conctuding remarks Mr. MacDonald sta ed that the greatest obstacle to the development o’ co- operatives across Canada is the lethnrgykof the people. Many peo- ple want to be "left alone”. In con- trast however there usually is found a progressive minority in every community and they are the
