In speaking to members Mrs. Brown made particular mention of the Overseas Scholars whom she des- cribed ns delightful young people. interested and interesting. She felt that through the marveloua entertainment offered them by the Victoria League, they were getting an intimate insight into English life which would be of lnestunable value when they returned to take part in the public lift of Canada.

England. Pew in the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry A letter was received, through the Provincial Chapter of British Columbia, from Mr. Lombardini the Rector of the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry-next-Guildliall. London, England, asking permis- sion to dedicate a pew in the church to the Daughters of the Empire. It would have the Coat of Arms of Canada on the Pew End with an inscription beneath it, and the Rector also asked permis- sion to have the official letter of. acceptance framed and hung on the wall above the pew. Acting on a request from the National Ex- ecutive Committee. Mrs. Russell- Brown had an interview with ‘the Rector. She considered it a cliarin- ing gesture and an honour for the Order to have a pew dedicated to it. There was already in the Church a pew for the use of New Zealand visitors, with the New Zea- land Coat of Arms on the door and the New Zealand flag hanging above it. At the suggestion o.’ some Canadians, the idea had been brought forward that there should be a similar pew for Can- adian visitors with the Canadian Coat of Arms on the door and the flag above. The flag had b(‘i'l‘l prcscnttd to the Church by the Mayor of Vancouver and an un- - known friend of Canada had furn- ished the Coat of Ayms. All that was now wanted was the permis- sion of the National Executive Committee to have the pew de- dicated to the Order, and the Roc- tor hoped that this might be forth- coming in the near future so that the dedication service might take place before the Coronation. Mrs. Russell-Brown had suggested that k the Overseas Scholars who were in ;London at the time should be in- 'vited to attend. It was decided that in view of the information received from Mrs. Russell-Brown we gratefully accept Mr. Lom- bardinrs offer. An article entitled "Our Neigh- bours to the North." appeared in the" March number of the "Wc- Home Companion". The author. Mrs. Anna Steese Richard- son. called at the National Hcad- quarters and interviewed scvcral of the National Officers. and W88 ‘very much interested in the 0r- der's work. TOAST T0 KING The question was asked by one of the Provinces iis to what was the proper procedure ivhen drink- ing a Toast to His Majesty the King, and a letter was forwarded to the Secretary of State request- ing regulations. A reply was rc- ceived saying that there were no official regulations in this matter. and that the procedure followed when such a toast was proposed was left to the good taste of the chairman at any luncheon or din- ner. At large formal banqucts. however. it is not customary to sing the NatlonakAnthem aficr the Toast to the King. Realizing the essential part that radio plays in moulding the l l l l i l l thought and character of a people. , and keeping in mind the splendid‘ traditions which. as British people. are our heritage. resolution was, passed: “That a letter be sent to the,‘ Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion expressing appreciation and approval of the members of this organization. for the dignified and intelligent manner lfl-WhlCh the events in connection with the re- cent. serious crisis within the Em- pire, were broadcast to the world. We also desire to commend the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion for the type of educational and patriotic programmes which are brought each week the Canadian people." The reports from the Bahama I.O.D.E.. the Bermuda I.O.D.E. 1nd the affiliated society of the Daugh- ters of the British Empire in the USA. also proved extremely inter- esting. The reports of PEI.

The valuable publicity accorded through the courtesy of the Press is exceedingly far reaching. and gratitude was expressed to the Canadian Press for the interest and cooperation extended in mak- ing public our activities. In re- porting the publicity work done in yarlous provinces for Empire Day the following is noteworthy (for New Brunswick) "Six pages of "the Ed. Review published in Saint John.

In introducing her report Miss Joscph said: Unquestionably one of the greatest problems facing Canada today is that of immigra- tion. and an Order like ours. pa- triotic and widespread, to fulfill its mission must occupy itself with this important subject which ii.’- fects the present and future well- bcing of our country.

Alta. is placing of care- fully-ciiosen settlers from Great Britain for a five-year period on fully equipped farms. At the end of five years the settler is ex- pected to acquire a farm of his own. Eiidoiviiicnt Fund Committee — Mrs. Maihieson is a member of this Committee. It is a pleasure to speak of the splendid and continued gifts of Prince Edtvard Island and the Yu- kon Tcrrltoigv. Do all of us rcalizc that they give and do not receive. that their reward is tlic satisfac- tion of seeing benefit derived by the other eight Provinces? These subscriptions are like tlic Biblical VPFFI‘ "Cast iliv bread upon the waters; for thou salt find it after many days." In those far-off lands thcrc W35 always a season of great rains.

Personal assist- ance was given at the free Dental Clinics for school children. Mem- bcrs engaged in collecting for the Red Cross drive. and contributions were made to the Christmas Com- munity Chest. Pasteurized milk was supplied to one hundred un- dernourished children in the public school. The Chapter co-operatcd with the Children's Aid Society in helping neglected and delinquent children. One member of the Chapter attended the sessions of the Juvenile Court. Royal Edward Chapter at Char- lottetown confined its activities tn the families of returned men and consequently their work will be in- cluded in the report of Service and Ear-Service Men's Committee. Educational Committee - Miss W. Gordon, of Quebec. National Educational Secretary. presented a fine review of this important sphere of I.O.D.E. accomplishment. Over $1,500.00 was spent. in sending suit- able small libraries to selected schools. A very great response was given to the appeal of Her Excellency, Lady Tweedsmuir. for used books for people in the West who had little or no reading mat- ter.

Empire Work In India — It is gratifying to know that only $26.14 remains to be raised to complete the amount pledged by the Order in the Memorial School Fimd. The Naslk Hospital has won such an ex- cellent reputation that the gov- ernment is anxious to make it a training school for nurses. The Kaiser-l-I-Iind Chapter under the Regency of Miss Kabraji is the only Chapter of the Order in the whole of India with its 350,000,000 people, and it continues to flourish If we are interested there are 15 slides of the St. Helenas School at Head Office available for our use. Empire Study - An interesting summary of the Empire Study pro- gramme was given by Mrs. Velyien Henderson. A very large percent»; age of the chapters are now hold-= ing regular study programmes which they find increasingly ub- sorbing and entertaining. Reports from chapters in every province show that the serious approach to acquiring authentic knowledge of the Empire. its component parts and their problems. is being made by the great majority of the mem- bera who have in some cases ar- ranged debates and Empire Study broadcasts. Immigration is also a subject gone into. and many divergencies of opinion have been brought forward. A consideration of the Hornby Plan was made. and while this does not mean that the Order necessarily endorse the plan. it thinks it of importance for study. pf Nation: — ‘These are high lighta only. of these committees will be uaed for atudy meetings. The past year stands out as one not only of peculiar importance to all lovers of Empire, but as a year of character testing for those in hfdh places and it was gratifying to all right thinking people to feel and realise aa a certainty that the love of the British-born for the Empire was an unquestionable reality. It is this love and devo- tion to the Empire that binds its Daughters together as a united band of women.

Education Gift- Lucky for Girl REGINA, July 1—A comely ia- year-old girl has enrolled in Re- gina College, fulfilling a strange agreement made back in 1919. Dr. E. W. Stapleford. retiring president. related the incident during a fare- well addmss here. He was raising funds for the e01- lege at the time the agreement was made. A farmer he approached ex- pressed willlngness to contribute, but regretted he had no children to send later to the college. ' Dr. Stapleford said he would aup- ply the child and received 8500 from the farmer. At the proper age, education at Regina College was stipulated.
