Red Cross Says Hungarian Fund Is Still Short

Contributions to the Canadian Hungarian Relief Fund from resi- dents of Prince Edward Island now total 3533.00. according to a statement made last night by local Red Cross officials. The sum of 522.50 recently received from the staff of the Polio Cen- itre helped to increase the receipts considerably. Nationally t h i s Fund is on the home stretch, but a report from the National Head- quarters reveals that Just 8496 of the National objective of 3500.- 000 has so far been subscribed. it was further learned that the special Hungarian Fund of the American Red Cross has been oversubscribed with a total of S5.170.00(l received to data. Un- doubtedly. Canadians will want to match the financial support of their American neighbours.

The Canadian Hungarian Relief Fund is being used to help pro- vide food and clothing for the (5.000 Hungarian refugees who are being looked after by the League of Red Cross Societies in Austria at the present time. Two of these Camps in which refug- ees seeking entry into Canada are being housed. are ataffed by Ca- nadian Red Cross officials.

The bulk of the Red Cross re- lief contributions has been food. clothing and medical supplies. Owing to rapid distribution and an unceaslng flow of supplies from numerous centres, it may never be possible to establish an exact monetary value for contri- butions representing tens of thousands of individual gifts. A conservative estimate places the value of the relief supplies at over 312 million.

ONE HUNDRED and forty young people were inducted in the Hi-Y Clubs of the Y.M.C.A- in

The Baptist Church was the scene Sunday evening of an event. unique in the annals of young people's activities in Charlotte- town, when before a capacity con- gregation, 140 teen-age young men and women were inducted into the Hi-Y Clubs of the Y.M.C.A. in an inspiring candle-lighting cer- emony.

In these days of "rock'n' roll,” when many adults are inclined to look upon Youth as somewhat hope less - it was a thrilling and heart- warming experience to witness the large group of fine. clean-cut young people. reverently engage in a religious service and ritual linking them definitely with the Church through the Y.M.C.A.

Any adult who attended the ser- vice and who might have felt that today's Youth are confused and ir- responsible, would have come away with a new conception. as- sured that the affairs of the world will be handed on to able and dependable hands.

The service was conducted by the Pastor of the Church. Rev. Harold L. Mitton, assisted by Hi-Y Leaders Rlth Boswell and Charles Ballem and 'Y' Sec'y. Gordon Maxwell. The Induction Team con- sisted of. Wayne MacDonald. Beryl Gaudet. Dick Matheson and Ron- nie Storey.

In a brief but stirring message on the theme. "Venture in Falth", Mr. Mltton presented a ringing challenge to the assembled Youth.

VENTURE IN FAITII

Rev, ll.L. liiltton. spoke on the theme selected for Christian Youth Week. namely. -”tVenture of Faith." He began by pointing out the importance which Jesus at- tached to faith in His earthly min- istry, and by saying that faith is something to be coveted. "It is faith," Mr. Mitton declared, '”which holds us steady in the storms of life. it is faith which enables us to tap the divine re- sources. It is faith which keeps us going when the way is hard."

The speaker went on the de- clare that we venture in faith fl) when we commit our lives to Jesus Christ in service; f2i when we rely upon God's unfailing help; (3) when we attempt great things and great causes, risks notwith- atandlrg; and (4) when we follow where God leads. even though the path might not be one of our own choosing-

Drawing upon the life-story of Abraham and of Dr. Peter Mar. shall. Mr. liiitton appealed especi- ally lo the youth to venture in faith by surrendering their lives to God. to be used in His service.

The 140 ' -' ' . are members of the eleven Hi-Y Groups who engage in mid-week activities at the Y'. Their avowed purpose iii. "To create. maintain and extend. in the home. in the school and throughout the community, high

standards of Christian character." Some of their alrns are: "Christ-

January 24th. Mcmbe a of the lo- cal Council were also present. As the local committee chair- men gave their reports to the meeting, Mrs. Cudmore outlined the work of the corresponding Dominion Committee. thus giving a broad picture of the work of each committee in the local and national areas.

in addition to the Committee Re- ports. the meeting heard from the District Commissioner. who told of the splendid progress being made in the various companies and packs which are being viaited regularly. Several leaders will have qualified for their warrants within the next few weeks. it was learned with pleasure that Miss Audrey Gillls has consented to work with the Training Com- mlttee as Music Adviser for the Girl Guide Association.

PAGENT There was considerable discus- lion regarding the Pageant of Guiding which is being planned as one of the special event! to mark the tooth anniversary of Lord Baden Powell, and it was decided, in vicw of the uncertainties of win- ter travclling for Guides who do not live in the Charlottetown area, that it would be better to postpone it until later in the year. Following a break for coffee and sandwiches, served by the m u c h thought was given to special plans for this Centennial Year.

Mrs. Cudrnore told of the ire- mendous contributions being made by business firms, and the great amount of work being done on I volunteer basis by people at Dom- inion headquarters. and in every Province. to enable their Guides to derive the greatest possible ben- eflts from the camps and other Ipeclal events planned for 187.

Mayor Retur

"lam quite satisfied with the result." stated Mayor J.D Stewart referring to the recent series of conferences held in Montreal and Ottawa between a group of Mari- time Mayors, officials of the Can- adlan National Railways. and the two Maritime representatives in the Federal Cabinet. at which His Worship was present.

The decision to contact these groups was made at a meeting of the Mayors of Halifax. Moncton, Saint John. Fredericton and Char- lottetown, which took place in Moncton, January 9th. This meet- ing was called by Mayor Stewart in order to consider ways and means of negotiating an agree- ment with the CNR. whereby the present method of "grants-in-aid" given by the railroad to municipal- itles would be substituted by a policy of full taxation. as is now in effect on Crown property.

The Maritime municipal admin- istrators met with CNR authorities

"Al these conferences we pointed out the many inequalities under which our Maritime Provinces are laboring in comparison with the rest of Canada with respect to the system of grants-in-aid in lieu of taxation on CNR property." Mayor Stewart stated. "We now hope these will be brought in line."
