The holiday lsDover: the Ens- ter holiday, that is. and certainly any others that some of us might have been enjoying at intervals since last September. To put it bluntly, we are in the home stretch of the College year, and from now on everything counts the final tabulation. Yester- day, college years received a be- lated Easter gift from the Direc- tor of Studies. the results of the mid-term examinations. For many they only made the final reckon- ing seem much nearer. . c - On the campus. the big news is the forthcoming election for officers of the Students' Union. and the reorganization of the Thursday nflernoon sorlnls under the supervision of John Elmer MacPhee. O O C 0 Except for first team basket- ball and the Sydney-Charlotte town playoff. athletics are a dead issue. The last significant ath- letic event on the rumpus was the juvenile hockey finals, which were decided before the holiday. Winning out in the spirited play- offs was the en ry of the junior class, a team called the Wry- Neckers. To win the champion- ship. the squad downed Dave MacCormick's Bonecrushers from high school by a 6-4 score. 0 0 C C The players on the Wry-Neck- ers are: Stan Mooney, Des Mac- Neil (captain), Dave Kennedy, Wally Reid. Gerry Clinton, Mar- tin MacMillan. Earl MacKinnon, Clarence MacDonald and Jim Sounders. O I O The ice on the rink is gone. and the mud on the ground is abundant. The conclusion is that walking will be the chief exercise among the students until the ground dries enough to softball. permit The members of the senior basketball team cut their Easier holiday short to travel to New Brunswick for two basketball games on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Accompanied by coach Rev. W. J. Mccuigan and manager John Muiially. the Saints played games at Saint John and St. Joseph's University. They lost out 58-54 to one of St. John's leading junior teams. but brought home a 85-59 win over St. Joseph's. Jack Reurdon was high scorer in both contests, but Joe Mullally, who garnered 21 points against St. Joseph's, gave him a. hard chase for honors. A return game with St. Joseph's is scheduled for Prince of Wales auditorium this. evening. On Wednesday. the 21st. the day the Easter recess began. the Winter edition of Red and White appeared on the campus. Editor George Keefe and his able staff did not know the reaction of the critics until late this week when the opinions began to circulate. We are glad and proud to report that the comment from both stu- dents and faculty was quite fav- ourable. Many thought it was the best issue they had read for years. The siuif,' in the face of such comment, was forced to agree that it is a lop-notch edi- tion. Take a bow; George! C O This evening. the Charlotte- town premlere of a three act play. "Deep Are The Roots" will be held at St. Dun'stan's. Indeed. it is most appropriate that the premiere should be at the Col- lege. for the play is being spon- sored by the S. D. U. Dramatic Society and is directed by the faculty adviser of that society, Rev. Edmund Roche. . . . From the bits of advance pub- licity released by lhc dramatic society's publicity agent. Donald Francis Slgsworlh. this column feels safe in predicting that this play will prove to be one of the most moving that has ever been presented by thc.....orgsnlzntlon. Included in the advance notices were the dates for a two-day stand in Charlottetown. Mr. Sigs- worth reveals that the citizens of Prince Edward Island's capital city will be able to see "Deep Are The Roots" at Queen Square School hall on Monday. April 9th or Tuesday. April min. After we review this evening's perform- ance. we shall be better able to comment further in next week's column. We feel obliged to report two significant developments from the regular monthly meeting of the spare Moments 87 Eli. MacArthur If all the spare moments at our disposal were put into worthwhile things, it is sstonishiiylhow much we would be able to accomplish. Wat: taught himself chemistry while working at his trade of I. mathematical instrument maker, and he availed himself of every opportunity to extend his know- ledge of literature. Stephenson taught hknsclf arithmetic while working as an engineer during the night shifts. and he studied ” I during his spare mom- ents at home, thus preparing him- self for his great week in life the invention oi the passenger loccmotive. with perseverance. the spare moments may be worked into re- sults that are simply amazing. It the average person would spend a couple of hours each day in gain- ful pursuits, he soon would master a ' science. It would edu- cate the most ignorant in one de- cade. we ought to consider every spare moment a gem cf time. Years that are allowed to pass by with- out yielding fruit are wasted years. Dr. Downing composed most of his wcrds while riding about the country ministering an ailing pat- ients. Dick White taught himself Greek while walking to and from a lawyer's office. and this scribe knows of a Canadian senator, who acquired his medical degree by peddling ccdfish during his vacation. No matter where one goes. one will meet up with self-made men who carefully employed those valu- able fragments of time which I have chcsen to call spare mom- ents. Elihue Burriti. while work- ing and earning his living as a blacksmith. mastered some eight- een ancient and modern languages. Think of it! Nor did he consider himself a genius. lie thought his achievements nothing extraordin- ary. speaking to a friend in later years, Burritt had this to say: "All that I have accomplished. or expect. or hope to acccmplish has been and will be by that plodding patient, persevering process of ac- cretion which builds up the ant heap, particle by particle, thought by thought, fact by fact." he lived under the practical uni ciousness that a man's days are numbered and that the night Chops her cur- tain when all toll musi cease. Time wasted can never be re- called. I'llke to ponder the, fol- lowlng couplet: "Lost. between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever." What B. solemn and striking ad- monitlon to the youth of our coun- try. Every hour that we waste in frivolous pursuits is laid to our charge, whether we realize it or not. Ar Italian scholar put over his door an inscription to the effect that all who remained in his com- pany should join in his labours. If sir Walter Scott had not made good use of his spare moments by traveling through the highlands and letting down the things he heard and observed, we would be minus a great deal of worthwhile literature. Like most great men. Scott was a sworn enemy to idle- ness. He wrote the Waverly Nov- els in six weeks. What others have accomplished. we, too, may ac- comiplish. "Thine own aim is the ciemi-god." It was given us that we might fashion wcrthwhile things here below. We should face every tomorrow trustful. but fearless. We should look on labor as honor- able. no matter how menial the task which falls to our lot. Re- member that there is an equality in all. and the resolute will and pure heart may enable either. date for the election of officers for the Studcnis' Union of 1951- 52 is next Friday. April 6th. To- morrow is Nomination Day, and it is rumoured that all offices will be hotly contested. Next week we shall fry to give our readers a blow by blow report of the proceedings as well as intro- duce the winners. 0 O C D At that Students' Union meet- ing. it was also decided that St. Dunsian's would become in mem- her of the Canadian Federation of Catholic College Students and a member of the Canadian Fed- eration of Catholic University Students. To direct the activities of these national organizations on the campus, there will he set up Students' Union held Tuesday evening. The first. is that tho '8asqto-We s A Catholic Federation Committee with one chairman. two vice- chnirmen. one for each feder- ation. ll secretary. and three councillors. We predict that time will prove this one of the best decisions this year's executive has made. 0 I O I As was hinted in the second paragraph. Elmer MacPhce has regained his position at the top of the social ladder. This is true because the very first social after the lemon season attracted a "full house" and was easily one of the best this semester. In Elmer's own words, it was "the best social I've ever organized." D I O 0 And so. lintii next week: From S.D.U., to all of you, health and happiness. .'?a.:;.z Quaint,- l.AilA" BA 93.3 timid Waring Reporting UI'fAV.'A. - How would you like to be moving into a new :50- ooo house in a couple of weeks. and be sick at heart about the whole thing? That's how- Mme. reels abcut tlve mansio st. Laurent the national execu- ut 24 Sussex street. "I'm so disappointed in it," she told. two newspaperwornen the other day. ..xe. st. Laurent explained shelcl deliberately refrained from offering many suggestlcns on the layout of the 20-odd rooms, or their decoration, cr their furnish- ings. she didn't want to be blam- ed by the wives of future Prime Ministers, she said, if they didnt like the mansion. ”'.i'he few suggestions I did make have been ignored," she added. "And oh! the colours!" she cried, shaking her head and spreading her hands, palms upward in a Gallic gesture of hopeless resigna- tion. "I'm sure many Canadians who visit it will be disappointed." The charming woman who 15 to be the first chatelalne of 24 Sus- sex had unqualified admiration for only one room - the "perfect, kitchen." 0 O O Somwhut startled by Mme. S1, Ls.urent's reaction to has new home, I went to see for myself. E. A. Gardner. Canada's Assistant Chief Architect. was not pleased to see me. No. he couldn't show me through the house, he said, edging me back towards the front docr. Someone in authority ,had ruled that neither the public nor the press might enter. All to no avail my that since the people are paying an amount estimated by Trade Minister 1-lowe at 5550000 to buy, renovate and furnish the 80-year- cid mansion set in four and one- half acres of lam; overlooking the Omlwa River. the least the Gov- ernment could do was to allow me to tell them what they're getting for their money. However, I didn't edge out eag. 11.. I covered the ,ground floor thoroughly before Gardner got me to the door. And with due clef- crence to Mme. st. Laurent, who probably knows a lot mcre about half-million dollar manslom than I do. my impression is that it will be quite a house. At the same time I can see what scmc architects mean when they protest that the Government should have torn down the old home of the Edwards family of lumber barons and started from argument scratch. Then the P1M's house could have been an example of the best in contemporary Canadian architecture, instead of the archl. tectural hodgepodge that it is. O O C of the 20 main rooms, nine will be used by the PM and his family -somewhat like the Royal Apart- ments in a palace. In addition, there will be a reception room 1;- brary, dining room and kitchen, and in the basement. recreation and children's rooms. The staff will have five bedrooms. Those who knew the old house would scarcely recognize it now. Gone is the front portico, along with the peaked gables and the rear art gallery. There are new windows, doors, rcof. The interior was ripped out and rebuilt. A handsome spiral staircase leads to the second floor. And there are 10 bsthmoms. In the decor. pastel shades Elly. sreen. buff. cream and yel- low predominate. one mom is done in natural Canadian pine. The furniture in the more formal rooms is French period. I'd guess it's pretty good stuff It ought to be - it cost. 5106.000. Of OOUISE. it's a. mansion, not a. home. Maybe in reality that's what disturbs Mme. st. Laurent, It's a safe bet she'd rather be back in the less pretentious but more comfortable hcme an Quebec City's Grande Alice - and will be, when husband Louis finishes the J05 the People elected him to do. I sincerely wish in thank the Nurses and Staff of the P. E. l. Hospital, also Dr. Pierce and all my friends who sent Cards. Let- ters and Fruit. Also those who helped in so many ways during my operation of Mrs. Earle Rodd. I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the box holders of Little Pond.

Nearly every book of fiction, al- most every magazine story carries a. love theme. So does the movie, the stage play and the radio drama. what is more, most of our popular songs are love songs. Now, in itself there is nothing wrong in talking and singing about love any more than there is any- thing wrong with love itself. Does not love, in fact, define one of the deepest aspects of our be- ing? Besides, is it not something found uruversaiiy among men? Taking it in a wide sense, as our primary urge or inclination to- ward the good, it is at the origin of all our activity, since we only seek what is good or aipparently good for us. Thus, smoking a cigarette and sending flowers to a friend both have their source in love. And thus understood. whatever else we do is also done out of love, as though it were a slap toward our liar.-plness which consists in the possession of they good we most love. The frequent playing up of the love theme, then, is only a recog- nition or: something which is very basic to human life and as such is not peculiar to this age. Men Of other eupochs have certainly talked and sung about love. But the way we talk and sing about it gives evidence that we don't understand some important properties of love that have been known by people of former times. For instance. there are those to- day who regard love as an urge or drive of our being which We must follow without question and without interference. Lo-ve must hiwe no barriers; let there be no inh.i-bitions. Otherwise. there will be an encroach-mcnt on our lib- erty and our love will not be free. This attitude appears to be grow- ing particularly among our young- er people. some of whom seem to think that in the game of love, almost anything goes. They would have us give in lo the pm-nsptinxs of love in somewhat the same way that the animal yields to his in- stincts. And there are older peo- ple who apparently accept this attitude "with a wink and thereby at least connive with it. Now, what we must remember is that love is not a blind force but follows from knowledge, and hence a. love that befits the hu- man being will be a love that is . Thoughts For Our Time I ordinal McGungon (convrlslu) J subject to the knowledge that is proper to man. that is. a love subject to the control 0! reason. To allow oneself to be carried away by a mere emotional love is therefore neither rational nor properly human. Also. we have to remanbcr that it is characteristic of love to draw us out of ourselves toward the thing loved in its very being out- side. This is another reason for needuing to control our love. Love is a gift of oneself to the think loved. It is truly ecstatic. By love we are beside ourselves. we go'out of ourselves to become one with the thing loved. "Where thy treasure is. there is thy hear: also.” If the thing loved is above us, we go up to it; we raise our- selves and thereby ennoible our- selves. if, on the other hand. this thing loved is below us. we go down to its level; we lower and even degrade ourselves. Hence there is no wisdom in letting one's love run wild, in giv- in-g it s free hand. as it were. and allowing it to centre iisclif upon any object indiscriminately. If reason does not guide it toward lcfojects which are truly good for us and ultimately to God Him- sslif, our supreme Good. then our love will inevitably drag up-'down to things not worthy of us. After all, what is meant by "free-love?" If it. means yield- ing to the uncontrolled pull of emotion, then free-love is only a name and a deception. Man's love is truly free only when it is unrestrained in its bent toward what is worthy of the human heart. In the long run. this means being un-hampered in loving God as ouc's supreme Good and lov- ing everyone else and everything else for love of Him. Of course, this is not the kind at love commonly portrayed for us in modern fiction and drama. But this only shows that we have a lot to learn about love, especial- ly from those who can teach us most. that is, the saints. How do our modern movie idols. for in- stance, compare with such lovers as St. Paul, St. Teresa of Avila or St. John of the Cross? it is man's great misery that he can be deceived about the true ob- ject of his love. But the saints are just those rare persons who love with their whole hearts without suffering the least deception in the true clbject of man's love. Because it goes straight to the mark with- out hindrance. it is their love that is truly free. sees-9-cos-ea-eeo-9-oi-:3 i) Literature And Life fP "if:-OCA i El 3509 By BOOKMAN A THE DEMOCRACY or LETTERS There is a real democracy of letters, and this is seen in the sub- jects treated and in the use of language. Surely one of the most common subjects dealt with is man, and man as man. without any limitations, as to colour, race, or religion. when Wordsworth wclteswabout the ”old Cumberland Beggar." or the "Leach Gatherer" and says that he "found love in huts where poor men lie", or that he was to pipe a. simple song for thinking hearts". he is surely re- cognizing the fundamentai prin- clples of democracy. Great litera- ture has always honoured the average man. The soldier. the sailor, the fisherman. the farmer, have from the most ancient times been subjects for song. Let us call the roll of some of our great writers: Homer's great poem is about soldiers; Virgil tells about the wonders of the farm. the raising cf crops. Burns tells us that "the rank is but the guinea stamp, the man's the gowd for s' that." Is not his great. subject man -- the ordinary every day man? is not the average man after all, our most useful citizen? In Korea today the destinies cf that unfor- tunate country and all that is im- plied in the victory or defeat tremendously for the fu- ture of the world. Our transporta- licn systems. our building of homes, the collection of garbage, and a thousand other services. some cfi them humble in the extreme. hut' vilal to our well-being - these de- pend on the average man. Surely he deserves a place in our litera- ture. Where are we to lock for ex- planation of this respect for man as man? surely to the teaching of Jesus. for be emphasised the val- uc of man. He placed man in one end of the scale and the world in the other and declared that man was the heavier of the two of more value by far. Man was not ioi be treated as a means but as uni end.
