During the past few years s

Educational Work
Our educational work is of such
vital interest that the National
Ed. Com. have adopted the policy
of having an irifonnative article
published in each issue of Echoes.
and each member is urged ic read
these articles. The War Memorial
Fund which finances the most
expensive of the educational
schemes of the Order, offers a real
contribution to the life cf thc ‘
country and the community. The
first Bursary was awarded in 1920,
and in the fifteen years since that
dats nearly 200 young Canadians
whose fathers were killed or per-
manently and seriously disabled
during the war, have been helped
to go to college, and 85 graduates
of Canadian Universities have
gone to college in Great Britain to
fit themselves by advanced study
for further work. How is it pose
to estimate the influence of these
young Canadians-teachers, clergy-
men, doctors, lawyers, journalists,
engineers, housewives, business-
men and women? There were 56
soldiers' sons and daughters hold-
ing Bursaries in 17 Canadian- col-
leges s.nd_uriiverslties for the year
1935, Richard MacQusrrie of Vic-
toria. being the bursary holder for
this province. No candidate offer-
ing for 1936 the other' provinces
will benefit in the final allotment.
The overseas Scholar was as you
remember Mr. Hazen Wigmore, to
be succeeded by Mr. Allan Mac-
millan, whose career will be
watched with affectionate interest
by every member of this chapter.
In connection with the distribu-
tfun of War Memorial Pictures it
is interesting to note that, the
Committee has recommended that
these pictures be loaned to Canad-
ian Legion halls, Regimental Club
c
d
ibie
rooms, and other suitiable pls. es.
Calendars are usual y consi ered
as a mere record of days, but it
has been said that the I. 0. D. E.
calendar is more than i-hat; it
brings the Union Jack to us every
day. The sale of these calendars
helps finance the Ed. Dept.
National Affiliations
The Canadian Branch ofthe
League of Nations Society as part
of its educational campaign, en-
'courges competition in schools on
subjects relating to league of
Nations activities, so that through
our girls and boys a knowledge of
the work accomplished by the
League may be broadcast. The
com. in charge of this work for
tho local chapter have had the
satisfaction this year of co-operat-
lng with Abegweit Chap. Bum-
rnsrside, so that the competition
carried on in Charlottetown pub-
lic schools, was duplicated in Sum-
merside. The members of this coin.
are to be commended also on hav-
ing somethlng of interest ready for
any meeting where time is avail-
able.
The Navy League of Canada
Following a discussion at last
annual national meeting as to
whether we should continue our
affiliation with the Navy League
of Canada, a Questionnaire was
sent out and the replies clearly
showed that. the work being dons
was more than well worth while,
and is carried on in the other
provinces with enthusiasm. The
Navy League Homes at Sydney,
I-laiifax, and St. John need our in- ,
terast. and support, and we are
urged by Miss Wilson, the Nat.
Convaner, to help our disabled
naval veterans, ns a small express-
ion of our regard for that great
service. The Navy.
The Victoria Lelllle
The reception and entertain-
ment of visitors to thc British
Isles from British colonies over-
seas, is one of the main activities
of this organization, and those
who have availed themselves of
the opportunities which thc Vic-
toria League offers cannot say
enough in praise of the pleasure
received
Can. Council on Child and Family
Welfare
Our work has been confined to
families of service and ex-service
men, because Child Welfare work
is already in the hand.; of Junior
Red Cross. The chapter has mede
an effort to respond to every hon-
est. appeal. Parcels of clothing
have been sent out sc that child-
ren may attend school. used and
new text-books have been gi on
v
wherever asked for, money has
ing with the education of soldiers'
children has grown to such stal-
wart proportions, that there is no
doubt that much more money has
been spent than has ever been re-
ported, and that much has been
given. thevalpe of which can scar-
cely be estimated. It cannot be too
often emphasized that the inter-
est and sympathy shown have
meant as least as much as the
money.
Christmas Work
Special Christmas work included
cards to sick or absent members:
Miss Winnifred MacLeod, Phoe-
nix, Ariz.; Mrs. Bruce Muir, N. Y.;
Mrs. C. L. Miles. Bridgetown, Bar-
badoes; Mrs. E. H. Ramsay, St.
John; Mrs. Wilfred Taylor, Ken-
sington; Mas. C. N. Brown, Liver-
pool, N. S.; Mrs. A. W. Holroyd.

220 children were remembered at
the Christmas season with parcels
of nuts, candy, and one present for
each. The family parcel held a
real Christmas pudding and where
possible, clothing und books.
National Holidays
Observance oi’ National holidays
is faithfully carried out by mem-
bers when possible, including St.
Georges Day, Empire Day, and
Remembrance Day. Trafalgar Day,
Oct.. 21st. members were invited to
the home of the Regent, Mrs. J. A.
Mathieson. Mrs. R.. M. Legate re-
viewed the events of the first Trafal-
gar Day in a most interesting
paper. and Mrs. R. .I-I. Rogers gave
a. delightful informal talk on her
vlsit to England and Scotland.
after which tea was served by the
hostess. _
Special services included atten-
dance at the service to commem-
orate the 25'-h anniversary of the
accession of King George to the
Throne, and the fervor of patriot-
ism which the Silver Jubilee of His
Majesty‘s reign evoked in every
British-heart made the national
sorrow a. more personal thing,
when in a few short months we
were called upon to take part in
the memorial service held on
Tuesday Jan. 28th. the day of the
funeral of the same beloved sov-
ereign.
His Majesty'a unsolfish devotion
to his people has been strikingly
exemplified in his expressed wish
that any proposed gift to him
should take the form of a. fund for
the benefit of his people. In Can-
ada such a fluid is to be devoted
to Cancer research, and in this
connection we are proud to have
given a small part of the $3,000
contributed through I. O. D. E.
On the occasion of the visit to
P- E. I. of Her Excellency Lady
Bessborough who is Hon. Presid-
ent of our Order flowers were pre-
sented io her on her arrival, by
the Regent and Mrs. P. W. Turner.
Projects. of National interest which
need our continued support are.
The National Endowment Frmd,
The Susie Borabji Memorial Build-
ing at Poona, Bombay Press. India.
Acoesion of Edward VIII r
The accession oi’ our new King,
Edward VIII made it necessary to
renew the oath oi' allegiance,
which is an obligation of every'
member, and this renewal took
place at the regular monthly meet-
ing on Feb. 3rd, 1936. Acqiiaim-
ance with the aims and objects of
the order was also renewed at this
time.
During the past your many of
our members have suffered be-
reavement, fncluding Mrs. Bentley,
Mrs. V. L, Goodwill, Mrs. N. H.
DeBlois, Mrs. H. L. Bethune, Mrs.
R. M. Legate, Mrs. Jas, Paton, Mrs.
E. R.. Brow, Mrs. E. G. Saunders,
and to these our deep sympathy
has gone out.
Plans are under discussion for the
celebration of thc 35th, anniver-
sary cf this chapter, and as we
look back on the 36 years of the
growth and :tcliicvcniciiis of the
national organization, it, may well
be a matter of considerable pride
to us. that if one may judge by a
comparison .vi‘li the excellent re-
ports sent iii by the other prov-
inces. cur contribution has been a
not inconsiderable one.
All of which is respectfully sub-
mitted.
