While it is too early to predict Hvinit the Guild mly be able to do during thmbalance of this season, it seems fairly evident that ii major performance will be staged before Spring and Pvsiibly. one or two studio Performances for members only. as well. At any rate. it was the general opinion that no time should be lost in starting the pro- duction of plays.

At the close of the meeting. a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the YMCA. and the secretary, H. James McConnell for the oo- operation shown in arranging ibr a room in which to hold the meet- UIB. I Judging by the enthusiasm shown and the lively discussion which took piper. the Guild is going to get away to a 800d start and drairiattc art is dtue for a revival in this City. Apparently. there is no lack of tai- ent and there is. now. only the need for organization to bring this talent to the fore. Hope we: ex- pressed that the Little Theatre Guild will fill this need in this City. which in recent years. wflblblf ti"! to the late war. has been singularly lacking in the development of the anuteur theatre.

After the bilslnesl meeting. an interesting and amusing game was played in which many of th so present were afforded an oppor , tty to exorcise their liiotrionie tai-

Chief Justice Thane A. Camp- | bell in addressing the Grand Jury, paid high tribute to the juridical and administrative ability of the late Hon. J. A. Matltieson, une- and Attorney Ger.- eral of the Province. and later, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island.

After referring to the recent resignation from the Bench of Mr. Justice Arsenault, (his remark»,- on Mr. Justice Arseriault will i.e found elsewhere in this issilci, the Chief Justice said lie was assured the recent appointment of Mr. George J. Tweedy, K.C.. to the Bench would be received with gen- eral satisfaction.

Commenting on the unusu-l cir- t-umstince o-f three iiidictiriuits, all involving "more or less un- lawful sex relations." His Lu-rd. ship said it was not the duty of the Grand Jury to attempt to tic. cidc either the guilt or the inno- cence of Qny of the act-used nam- crl in the indictments. The respon- sibility of the Jury lay merely in deciding whether or not, in their opinion, the Crown had Jmvssed sufficient evidence in any of the CPQYBBS to justify the .Ju»ry in de- ciding the case or cases should be heard before a petlt jury.

His Lordship concluded by in. formi-ng the Jury that any recgm- mendaiicns it might see fit to sub- mit with reference to the ini- Prflvcmctit of any of the Govern- ment institutions where penple iii-e retained either for punishment c-r for other re-lsons would be passed on to the Government for its cen- sidcratZ-on.
