Afternoon, S$ion

At the opening of the afternoon session, Mr. Bertram Trowsdaie, who -was absent from the Grand Jury. appeared and explained the reason for his absence. 1-19 lives 12 miles. fronmthe station and the roads were nearly i assable. In view oi the circumstances. Mr. Justice Arsen- ault excused him. The five young men, arralzned on a charge of cattle stealing, ap-

peareg for sentence. Their counsel. Mr. . R. Bell. while Pleading for cl oy, admitted the charge to

be a serious one, and one that has a severe penalty attached to it. It is an intolerant situation, if fann- ers are not able to let animals re- main at large in the fields at night. The five young men Kuilty 0f m! crime are vouus. from 13 W 35 3'05“ of age. ‘These five men all come from respectable families and from p. respectable part of the country. 1t is hard to explain, Mr. Bell said. why these boys should stoop to such a serious crime for the sake of a lew dollars, when they could have money from other sources. This was theiryfirst appearance in court. Ar- thurand Ben reside with their wi- dowed mother, at Glasgow Road. They have another brother at home. who is a. cripple. Melvin, an only son. is l0 years old. The other boys are also from a. good family. ‘Ihey should not be sent to befliiflnllflry. in fact, he said he would go so far as tnsrequest that they be Elven "-5- pendgd sentences.

He referred to his own position as head of Public Health and Ed- ucation in the Province-work which, as Mr. show had remarked, must go hand in hand. He also in- stinced the splendid work or the Junior Red Cross and oi Miss Mac- Leads highly appreciated activit- ies. It was gratifying that the work of the Junior Red Cross in this Province stands second to none in any pert of Canada". it was alsogratifping that we lead

wens work. In this connection the Permit!‘ mid a very warm tribute to Miss Wilson, and Dr. Acker. whose work has been nothing short of marvelous. The report showed that last veer there was collected about $2.500- ali of which was scent to relieve crippled children. This. the sneaker said, was the greatest

make. He agreed that more and better work can still be done; the only limit to the work being the money available. He hoped there would be a ., ‘ public response this year. Charitable as are our citizens towards every deserving cause. the work of the Red Cross Society should be augmented in this city and province; and it will be augmented just as soon as the cash comes in.

The Premier expressed apprecia- tion of the staff of the Public mall-h Dvimtment. He also re- ferred to the campaign which the Deportvnsnt-is sponsoring for den- tal clinics.

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

Ymlr Honour. Mr. Premier. Your Worship. Friends of the Red Crots: Before making a observations on the work of the Cross lost year. may I say how much the Prince Diword Island Division of the Canadian Pod Cross Society I-Plflociates the kind and generous pstrmage of His Honour, Lieutm. ant Governor DsBlols? Both His Honours patronaee and the kind- ly interest of the Premier and Minister of Health and Education in the progress of the Society make the work of your officers far more interesting and serves as an inspiration for us to do even great- er things.

During the past year, eight meet- ings or the Executive ‘were held and were exceptionally well at- fended.

At our Executive mcetfng on Pbbmary ist it was decided to have cer-tain standing committees ap- pointed as follows:

1- Hillfiivlbbod Children's Cases —.Dr. H. D. Johnson. Chairman. 2. CImpeixlt-‘Mr. John McKen- na. Chairman.

3. likitertainment-Miss Elizabeth Menuhin, Chair-lady.

4. Publicity and Develcpment— Mr. R. H. Ropers, Chairman. ,

I am very happy to report that the result oi this experiment has been excellent. Each committee functioned one hundred m!‘ cent, Uld W88 thus able to giw: more personal attention to the matters referred to it than would have been the case had the Executive as a whole had to deal with such matters. You will hear the reports of these c0mmil‘/:s and the work accomplished by them. without exception, these reports will. show continued growth of the work b:-

‘undertaken by. Red Cross in P 1W; Edward Island. even in the midst of times when it would seem as if such growth would not be‘ possible. To each chairman I may say that- your President persznally and the Executive Committee as a" whole. ‘it reciates the time and anergy. w icli you have‘ devoted‘ to the tasks assigned to you.

OnApril 25, 1034 -an evening meeting of the Eirecutive was held and largely attended. At this med- ing three suggestions were offered.
