Now we have twenty-nine mem- bars on our executive-and still more are needed if our Festival is to expand and be a. smooth run- ning organization.

"It was with many misgivings that I accepted the office of sident. I had no illusions as to my limited ability or the amount or responsibility f, and felt very inadequate indeed, to take the place of the preceding presi- dent, Mrs. I-larold Laird, who guided our Association so success- fully for the four previous years.

"Only three full executive meet- ings were held during my term of office. With our executive mem- bers so widely separated, such meetings are costly. Thus we con- centrated on committee meetings, with committee members paying their own transportation costs. I would like at this time to express my deep appreciation to the con- veners of all committees for their cxcellentco-operation at all times. Especially during the hectic weeks preceding the flnalsl No one, ex- cept those who have served as of- ficers or conveners, can fully ap- preciate the amount of detail work involved and catapulted into the few days prior to the Festival Fi- nals.

"Our first full executive meeting was held on November 8th, fol- lowing the closing session of the Drama Short Course which was held at Hlghfleld. At that meet- ing we presented a gift oi apprec- iation to Mr. Michael Meiklejohn for his expert teaching during the course. I might mention that Mr. Meiklejohn's services were obtain- ed by the joint co-operation of the Adult Education Council, the Phy- slcal Flmcss Department and .the Provincial Drama Festival Associ- ation. His travelling and hotel bins were paid by the Department of National Health and Welfare; thus the only expense to the stu- dents enrolled for the course was their board and lodging for four days. Even this was given at a reduced rate!

"We would certainly welcome information of any group inter- ested in play production, so that we might help them in every way possible during the coming year. Our Association was organized for the purpose of improving the cal- ibre of amateur theatricais, helping (rather than criticizing) the people producing these plays.

quested to include 3-act plays for adjudication, as an experiment for one year. Whether or not this practice will be continued must be decided by vote this evening. I may tell you that last week I talked with the secretary of the Dominion Drama. Festival in his Ottawa office and learned that he thought three-act plays should be featured in all provinces, so that at least two 3-act plays (prefer- ably more) would be competing from P.E.I. in the Regional and Dominion Festivals in the coming year. I pass this on to you as an idea worth considering.

"Another change made during the year was in establishing a "Beginners Class". We were told that many drama groups hesitat- ed to enter the Festival because they had no previous experience, and felt reluctant to compete with the more tutored players who en- tered each year. Thus, in order to overcome this handicap, the Beginners Class was established. There can be no doubt of the suc- cess of the idea. for almost all of the senior plays this year were entered in that class.

"Looking forward to the com- ing year, I contacted Mr. Meikle- john during the Dominion Drama Festival held in Saint John. N.B.. from April ziith to May 3rd-and again last week while in Ottawa-

STREETS - THEIR EECU-IIITY

Charles Lamb wrote about the "sweet security of streets". He said further. I am in love with this green earth; the face of town and country; the unspeakable rural solltlldel," those were the days when men travelled on foot hundreds of miles.

One of the things that contri- bute to the safety of the street is the lighting. Has it not been said that one light is as good as two policemen? Evil is afraid of the light; - indeed it cannot stand the light.

One of the authors of the Book of Proverbs hangs out a sign of danger, and he calls to passer: by to stop and look. and he is prepared to retire with a broken heart if his warning goes un- heeded. There used to be what Samuel Taylor Coleridge called the "pale roamer through the night." Proverbs warns too of her. but vice is now more or less on wheels and so that danger is not so much in evidence.

Of course when we think of the safety of the street we must not forget our police force. These men keep watch over our persons and our property while we sleep. They represent the law and as such should be respected and we should teach our children to look up to them. On their part they should so live and have a sense of their duties that they win the admiration of the citizens. Are not the London police famous for their honour? It is too bad when any officer of the law sells his honour for a handful of silver. When he shields crime and vice as is. one is sad to say. done sometimes in our great cities.

The Safety Zones-those little islands between the traffic that goes one way and come another -help. The education of the driver of a car as to the rules of driving. and the rigid obedience to, and observance of, the speed limit in certain areas-this would help immensely. This very day I observed here In the city precau- tion taken so that the children from a school could get safely across the street. A policeman was on guard and saw that the children all go across safely. Sometimes we see cars going far too fast. Too much mercy is shown the drunken driver, who is one of the worst menaces that we have.

We often speak of those who are brought up on the this may be due to the lack of household space. 'Tls a poor place. a poor school. for children. It rubs shoulders with all ,classes, sees and so learns what is wrong.

Good paving, .good lighting. good marking, and good manners on the part of those who use the streets will help to make them safe. One generation follows an- other, and if we wish to have fewer accidents, we must educate

Talented Pianist Daughter of Islander

Miss Jean Walkinshaw of Swift Current, Sask., is making a place for herself in the field of music as a talented pianist. and plans have been made by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Walkin- shaw, for their talented daughter to study in London, England, with an eye to continuing her career in Europe.

The mother of the young and charming artist is the former Marie MacDonald. daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel F. Mac- Donald of Vernon Bridge. and Mrs. W. M. Flynn, Richmond Street, Charlottetown, is a great aunt.

After studying in Toronto, Miss Walkinshaw recently appeared in a recital in her home town of swift Current. She was sponsored by the Rotary Club, and newspaper re- ports state her debut was a bril- liant one, and more enthusiastical- ly received than any concert of its type held there for some time.

It was old fashioned and moth- :-rly looking-the result of train: lng.

In our day transportation has been completely changed. Lamb's phrase,-"the sweet security of streets" is almost out of date. The morning papers toll of trag- edies of the night before.
