The director of the first play, “Splint For A Broken Heart”, was Mrs. Horace Fraser, who did a splendid job. It was amazing that the students, with no previous ex- perience, could do so well. :The second play, directed by Mrs. Douglas MacGowan, was “A Battle of Wits” written by Nor- man Williams. It was unusual and surprisingly well performed. The stage setting was simple in the extreme and very striking. The costumes were beautiful, and would do justice to any theatre group in the larger centres. Unless the adjudicator’s marks were quoted in'ful1, it would not be fair to choose any particular thing he said. However this was a highlight of the even- ing’s entertainment, and it was obvious that he enjoyed the plays himself and he directed his re- marks in such an informative and pleasing way, that interest in drama was aroused in many of the people in the audience. Fa- ther Arsenault had high praise for many aspects of the two per- formances and his criticisms were levelled so kindly that the members of the cast gained a fine experience without in any way being discouraged, as they sometimes Are after an adjudica- tion. Florence MacDonald, who in the afternoon had been successful in -placing first at the festival in Charlottetown, repeated her num- ber as a specialty. This was en- joyed very much.

Just yesterday the Bureau had received a large shipment of new literature for mailing to prospective tourists. The staff had worked late to sort and stack it preparatory to distri- buting it to the hundreds of in quirers around the world. It, too, was all lost. Also in the west end, The Is- land Motor Transport Company, operating bus lines all over the province, lost all office equip- ment and records.

Mrs. Charles Trainor on behalf of her- self and the other two new mem- bers thanked the sorority for the invitation to be in the sorority. She spoke of the invitation to like the sorority offers and said it would be at all times the aim to live up to,these ideals. Mrs. Clarence Mercer gave a summary of the work of Beta chapter last year. She ‘said they were not emphasizing the rais- ing of money but rather the cul- tural part of the program. Miss Marion Shaw in report- ing for Exemplar chapter told how the members had made a very comprehensive study of Italy. Also their chapter has established the tradition of the Christmas bazaar. Mrs. J. 0. Hornby reported for Alpha chapter. They supported the Cerebral Palsy Centre as a project. They are planning to give to both the Protestant and Catholic Welfare societies. Last year they gave one hundred dol- lars to the retarded children. They gave a scholarship to the Prince Edward Island Music Festival. This year they are giving sixty dollars to a child in Korea. Mrs. Ferno Rogers read the Founder’s Day message from Mr. Walter W. Ross. In the mes- sage Mr. Ross had said: “I would remind you of the great respect the free world pays you as a member of Beta Sigma Phi. It is a distinction that you have earned by what you have done and which you richly deserve for what you are.” Miss Lena McLure paid a tri- bute to Mr. Walter W. Ross. In this tribute she spoke of the fel- lowship of friendship to be found in the Beta Sigma Phi. The mem- bers then joined Miss McLure in repeating the Founder's Day pledge. Mrs. Keith Lapp on behalf of the Summerside group said how much the evening had been en- joyed. Mrs. Lapp stressed the friendship theme. Beta Sigma Phi chapters are now established in all parts of the world. Canada, United States. Vienna. Greece. England, Scotland, Germany. Saudi Ara- bia, Finland, Australia, Latin America. ‘ Mos. Hornby brought the ban- quet part of the evening to a happy conclusion. Seated at the head table were Miss Helen Cox, Miss Lena McLure, Miss Mar-, ion Shaw, Mrs. J. O. Hornby,‘ Mrs. Clarence Mercer, Mrs. Keith Rogers and Mrs. Carl Burke. After the banquet pictures were taken of the group and bridge played. The conveners for this memorable evening were the following: Mrs. Larry Slaght, Mrs. W. A. Beer, Mrs. J. A. Carruthers, Mrs. T. D. DeBlois, and Mrs. Leigh Donald. By THE CANADIAN PRESS With spring‘ in the air and brighter horizons in sight, a lot of Canadians this week willl bundle up their belongings andl find a new place to live. In the older parts of Canada- especially Quebec—May 1 is the date when leases end and the an- nual shuffle to new homes be- gins. In the younger cities, the May 1 moving tradition is dying out. But, pushed by the natural urges‘ of spring, it’s still the busiest time of year for movers. This year families will likely pay more for their new place but they’ll have_ a better choice, a Canadian Press survey shows. AIR BASE FOLDING St. John’s, Nfld., is probably the only large city where rents are dropping. With the folding of the United States Air Force base at nearby Pepperell, more than 1,000 apartments and homes will become available in the city. A spot check showed one land- lord offering a five-room apart- ment for $l25—tlie same one he got $140 for two years. ago. An- other has dropped his price to $110 from $125.

The Minister was replying to J. Clyde Nunn (L —- Inverness) tinues to have the toughest hous- ing problems although new build- ings have eased the demand for apartments. SLUM-CLEARING PROJECT With federal and provincial aid, the city has Just em-barked on a $6,000,000 sium - clearing project involving a nine - block area in north - central Halifax. The fam- ilies are being moved to 300 new housing units in the north end. Rent control ended in Halifax last April 30, but real estate men say only a small number of homes were affected. A well-lo- cated house rents for about $125 and apartments range from $100 to $130. In Saint John N.B., the housing shortage also is casing. The tra-. ditional May 1 moving date is still popular although not to the extent of previous years. But the custom still holds strong in Quebec City." There’s no short- age of housing but city statistician Valere Desjardins says there's a demand for larger ‘apartments. Rent for a five - room suite is about $30-$85 21 m-onth——about the same as last year. / In Montreal major construction projects are located‘ in the north and east of the city, where 1,374 apartment suites are being built in three developments. An elderly citizens’ project of 96 suites will be completed in a month. SIMILAR TORONTO PLAN A similar project in Toronto will have provided 256 apart- who called for a 50 cent toll compared to the present 75 cents. Mr. Nunn also criticized the Cape Breton approaches to the causeway. Mr. Smith said much consid- eration would have to be given before any out could be made because a reduction would mean a drop in provincial revenues. Wrecker Truck Driver Drowned SAINT JOHN, N.B.

He had just freed an oil truck from a ditch. , Police believed the brakes of the wrecker failed on the hill. The vehicle jumped over rail- road tracks and tore through telegraph and telephone wires before dropping into the water.

Since last September. the fed- eral government has made avail- able $300,000,000 for building loans and Prime Minister Diefenbaker has promised that “several hun- dred million dollars"; more will be requested when Parliament reconvenes May 12. Winnipeg has also had a hous- ing boom in the early part of the ryear. Regina officials say their housing situation is worse than most cities. It is compounded by a dispute in which property own- ers have been turning down a provision of services by the city and contractors have been refus- lng to build until the services are provided. City officials now have gone to the local government board for permission to expand services without going to the people. Vancouver officials say there are not so many families moving this year because of the business fall-off. T h e r e were a "tremendous number” of National Housing Act loans in the first quarter, CMCH reports, but the number hasn't yet been reflected in housing starts.
