little cliaiigif Noted In linemploynlenl

During the past week, the Nat- ional Employment Office in Char- lottetown, noted very little change in the employment situation in King's and Queen's Counties. The iilimber of people drawing unem- ployment iiisurance benefits. re- malned almost stationary at twenty-two hundred and ninety; of these eight hundred and eighty- two are residents of Charlottetown and the Royalties including one hundred and fifty women.

The weather has retarded the progress of work at the site of the new T. Eaton Building. Excavation work has proceeded more slowly than had been hoped. Earth is be- ing removed to a depth of fourteen feet, and every hour that the weather pcriilits, trucks are haul- ing clay to various dumping grounds, inclildilig some low ground where the new High School is located in Brighton. It is believ- ed, that given good weather, the excavation of the T. Eaton building. will be completed in one week's time.

Mr. Gerald D. Doyle. of .-'tiiglin-Nnrcrns: Company. has the contract for the T. Eaton building, is being recalled by the Company to work on another con- tract in Upper Canadzi. Mr. Doyle is a native of Quebec City. and has been with the Anglln-Norcross Company on many jobs in various parts of the Dominion, for four- teen years. He will leave Charlotte- town, in about a weeks time, and in the interval is breaking in an Is- land mall to succeed him: Mr, Har- old Lee, of 8 Beech Street, Char- lottetown.

When actual construction work gets underway. the Superintendent

tho

of construction will also be a Charlottetown man: the veteran builder, Mr. liarry Corooran. Mr.

Corcoran is well known as a. build. ing supervisor of some of the larg- est buildings in the Province, dur- ing his many years of experience.

The House has started to con- sider the estimates of government departments, but little progress is expected before Easter. The bulk of this study will be conducted dur- in: the last weeks of tho session.

A long debate also would be set off if the government decides to ask Parliament to extend its emer- gency powers legislation for an- other year. Mr. Howe said last Friday the government has made no decision on the extension of the powers beyond May 31. The dc- clslon would depend on interna- tional events between now and the end of the session.

Enrollment Problem

No. 1

A study of the enrolment: In school Unit No. I released by the trustees leads them to believe that a crisis in enrolment is due to be reached in the fall of 1950. and for the following two years there will be a levelling off.

The figures are the result of I census taken recently and a study of the present enrolment as of February 1st. 1954.

School No. I, the district under review includes East Royalty. Parkdale, Central Royalty, West Royalty, Spring Park and Winsloe.

The present enrolments are: East Royalty 85, Parirdale 234. Central Royalty 190. West Royalty 61, Sprinjg Park N5. Winsloe 07 or a total of 902 scholars.

The increased school population for the next six years is estimated as follows: Parkdaie 162, Spring Park 190, Central Royalty 1'15.

This does not include the chil- dren who are to begin school in the same period from the districts of Winsloe. West Royalty and East Royalty. Mr. Gordon Rice. Secretary of the Unit forecasts that if the number of beginners from these three districts were to be added, there will be at least 12(1) children in attendance in the Unit Schools by the year 1959- 60.

In dealing with the problem, it is the trustees' opinion that one of three choices will have to be followed, namely: Seeking ac- commodation elsewhere, probably in Charlottetown, a temporary ar- rangement at best: building addi- tions to the schools as the need arises; building a new high school to take care of all senior pupils in the Unit.

The various Community Clubs in the Unit District have been asked by the trustees to discuss the problem and submit sugges- tlnns.

"Most of Canada is bubbling with energy and life," he said. "and people here are interested in theatre. But they could, with ad- vantage, learn to be more dis- criminating in order to force ani- ateur players to raise their stand- ards. as well as encourage them througzh more iiiformcci apprecia- tioiis.”

ing regional competitions for the Dominion Drama Festival finals in Hamilton, 0nt., May 10-15. In the short time he has been in Canada, he has adjudicated at Toronto, Windsor, Wiiuiipcg, Mon- ti-eal, Quebec City.

He leaves Tuesday for Halifax. Frederictoii and St. John's, Nf1d., to adjudicate at their regional festivals.

He winds up on April 1 when he leaves for Hamilton to advise the Dominion Drama Festival committee of the eight finalists.

An experienced actor on stage, films and TV, a director, lecturer and broadcaster. he has been a member of the British Guild of Drama Adjudicaturs for the past five years. Of the plays hc judged in Canada, he buys ”the best of them have been very good indeed and they are i-hiefly the ones which have bceii entered in the Domin- ion Drama Fcstival before.”

Attending Mr. Suter's stimulat- ing classes are interested amateur players from many parts of the Island. who are learning through discussion and' participation how to improve acting and the direct- ing of plays. He emphasizes the importance of each player using his common sense and crcativo ability In making action moves. He feels that "spoon feeding" act- 01's is not healthy because it is more important for the actors to fully participate in their roles, by icarniiig to do things with real purpose.

Mr. Sutcr fcels that "more dam- age is done to plays through mud- dled-mindedness than anything else" and that people in drama need to know how to select plays for their group. Clear thinking, he said, will enable the players to choose a good play, which is the basis for good drama.

Mr. Sutcr believes that a good plot should present a iil0l'al theme, so that the audience leaves think- liig about something. A play needn't preach. he commented, but should spotlight one aspect of human behavior. leaving the and- ience with a view about life. The thinncr plot requires a special sort of hciiidliiig. and doesn't stay with the audience as long as the theme type. he said.

"Even it man called Shake- speare wrote some stinkcrs." was lils reply to one local player when she suggested that selection play i-ould be based upon the auth- or's reputation.
