VALENTINE SOCIAL - Last night Trinity Young People's Un- ion held their annual Valentine Social. The recreation was under the direction of Anna Matheson. Margaret Carruthers and Donald Shaw. Recreation included such games and contests as "Lover's Vocabulary". "Wring the Wash- cloth" and ”Stand'on the Heart". Another contest which caused much laughter and embarrassment was "Dress the Stooge with Newspaper". The different cos- tumes included grass skirts. my Valentine dream and others. Fol- lowing the recreation. a delight- ful lunch was served. The lunch was contributed by fellow Y.P.U. members. The party came to a close by singing "Goodnight Lad- ies." o BUSINESS PROSPECTS-”Should we be fortunate enough to hold to the course set early in 1951." (says the Canadian Bank of Com- merce Review). "we can expect further increases in the volume and value of production during 1952. This expanded pr tion will go a long way towards reliev- ing inflationary pressures which even now are less intense than they were six months ago. The rapid rise in the coat of imported raw materials such as textiles and rubber, which characterized the first part of 1951. seems unlikely to be renewed at a comparable rate: retail trade is due for some revival and should be in better balance than in 1951. The demand for scarce industrial materials doesnot seem likely to slacken. however. and unremitti ,, pressume from labour for upward adjustments in wage rates means,s similar adjust- ment in costs; the time lost in wage disputes works against the increase in production which is so sorely needed. We can. therefore. expect continued tight supply situ- ations, particularly in strategic materials. as military preparations grow space: and dislocations and disturbances es the military mesh- c ea with the civilian machinery. In a. free market economy this is a natural and understandable ac- companiment- in this lies our strength." ' The Neighbors .-,4. ly George Clerk! "Boys always did like you better. Judy. They never trip me." MEL Elisabeth Wiilett as "Louisa" Florlne Evans as "Ellen" A hearty burst of applause and well-merited words of praise from the adjudicator greeted the per- forming members of the Little Theatre Guild last night at the close of their performance of "Lad- ies in Retirement." the Prince Ed- ward Island entry in the Dominion Drama Festival. A full house witnessed the per- formance. which showed the ef- fects of the finishing touches ap- plied by the cast and crew since their preview performance last week. as the actors appeared more sure of themselves and the back stage effects proceeded more smoothly and effectively. Pierre Lcfcvre was the adjud- icator chosen this year to judge the Dominion festival performances from coast to coast. and his careful and detailed criticism of the play was not the the least enjoyable feature of the evening's entertain- ment. Mr. Lefevre was born in New York of French parents. and moved to London. where he has himself enjoyed a stage career of considerable note. and he is there- fore well qualified to judge the performances of others. Congratulates Cast I-le congratulated the cast on providing an evening of such thor- oughly enjoyable entertainment. and went on to point out ways in which he thought that the per- formance might be improved. His most serious criticism was that the line between pathos and comedy in the play was not made clear enough a difficult feat in a play in which comedy and melodrama are so intricately interwoven. The two "potty" sisters. he felt. should have placed more emphasis upon the serious side of their roles Emily is under the handicap of being well known as a fine por- trayer of humorous roles and re- mcmbcring her former perform- ances, the audience was inclined to be unduly amused at her symp- toms of insanity. which showed her madness to be almost of a violent nature. Louisa. as the second of the twi crazy sisters was also ex- cellently cast. and the ad.illdi':lIi0l' commented particularly upon her voice which. while light and high pitched, was perfectly audible and comnlemcnied perfectly her port- raval of her part. The first act. the longest of the three not play. was a little slow in starting. and most of the char- acters failed to establish their characters clearly. although "WV were. as individuals. well defined. and the audience had no difficulty in recognizing each immediately. After the first scene. the atmos- phere of suspense was well built up and maintained throughout the rest of the play. Mr. Lefevrc com- mented upon the excellence of the costumes and lighting effects. re- marking that he had inspected the facilities with which the crew had to work earlier in the day. and realized that there were certain handicaps to be overcome. The stage set also met with his ap-n nroval. although he thought that it might have been a little lighter and alrler and prettier. as befit- ting a little English country cot- tage. 'I'he off etawe set was part- icularly sood giving an approp- riate air of lightness and the sky and scenery conveyed the impres- sion of flat. open country to per- feetion. He remarked that Albert. play- ed by H. Barry Bugden, director of the play. who took over the part on short notice. did an ex- cellent Job, although handicap- ped by the fact that he was at- iempting to portray a young and ' , d t character, and thought P.E.I. Festival Entry ” Regional Play Before Adjudicator And Large Audience Here THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN 'lScorcMD"elclided Hit With Presentation Of Elli Bell II ulmoyre Eleanor Hughes aa "Leonora" Presented that the difficulty might be rem- edied by more colorful make-up. Neverheless, he showed a fine realization of the finer points inj the part. Lucy turned in a line per- formance. warming to her part as the play progressed, and his only criticism was that. had she brought out the tragedy of her victimization by Albert by show- ing more youthfuiness and fresh- ness. the audience would have been more in sympathy with her final downfall. She showed an excellent variety of tone and acted her part with great sm- ccrity. particularly in the latter portion of the play. Leonora. he felt, was most suc- ccssful in establishing her char- acter in a short time. in which she was helped by her excellent makeup. creating the proper ef- fect of a none too genteci- actress who made the most of every op- portunity to avail herself of the material comforts of life, al- though her past prevented her from being a person of complete respectability. Florine Evans' performance in the part of Ellen. a difficult and unusual role, was chosen by the adjudicator as the best of the evening. The continual strain under which she lived was clear- ly visible in her facial expres- sion. and she used lime and space and movement to great advant- age. Her only fault was that she might have built up theiatmos- phcre of the play more success- fully if she had started off in a lower key and built up the more dramatic aspects of her perform- ance. She is excellently suited physically for the part. and her helght enabled her to dominate Albert in a convincing manner. Their costumes and build seemed to create a family likeness be- tween Ellen and Louisa. which added to the effect of the play. Theresa played another difficult role. and Mr. Dsfcvre compliment- ed hcr on the competent manner in which she handled her final entrance. All the cast handled their with sincerity. and refrained g plying for effect. All were well cast and their performance was harmonious and highly enjoyable. Their teamwork was excellent. and the tidiness of prescntaiion' also added to the finish they ex-I hlbited all through the play. Altogether. it was a highly com- mendable performance and the audience was most appreciative. and the adjudicator was warm In his congratulation of the indiv- idual and collective efforts of the cast and crew whose long hours of hard work were clearly vis- ible in the production of a diff- icult play in a remarkably short time. The stage manager for the play was Fred Pound. assisted by Sutherland Mecuan. The cos- tumes were handled by Margaret Abbie. assisted by Dodie Moms. and the script by Mary MacQuaid. The hand properties committee consisted of Ann numett and Mary Evans. the stage props committee of Ralph and Sonia Breeu.

A courtly old man receives the guests as they enter. Exactly at one o'clock. everyone being seated about the table. the old patriarch with solemn face and white beard. stands behind his chair at the head of the table and says. ”l..adles and gentlemen. grace please". Then with bowed head he continues, "For what we are about to receive, make us truly thank- ful." Time was when this lovely cus- tom was observed in most of the homes in Prince Edward Island. Not so today. Like many other lgood customs the "Thank you God" is but a memory. I O 0 Canadian bees went on strike last year. In fact theygathered less honey than was sold in this country in 1950. There's no plaus- ible cxpianation for the busy bee laying off, but it is quite possible that poison sprays are taking a toll of our bee family as they have of birds, frogs and other useful creat- urea. The tractor is the most potential killer on the farm today. In the past quarter century in Canada and the United States. tractors have taken the lives of 387 per- sons. second killer in farm impin- ments is the combine. accounting for 47 deaths. ” Deaths from vicious animals around the farm accounted for one Hundred and fifty deaths. According to Canada's Fisheries Patrol Service it lot of illegal poaching has been going on in the waters surrounding the Garden of the Gulf. The Patrol service re- ported 269 cases of illegal lobsier fishing for nine months of 1931 and 52 prosccntinns were imposed.

I I O Cigarettes have almost entirely replaced the old-fashioned smokine pines in china. and the annual sales ran into billions of units. Chinese merchants stock Camels. Lucky Strikes. chesterflelds. etc.. .and these brands sell for about two-thirds of the price charged in America. because the packets do not have to bear an internal rev- enue stamp and are free from oth- er American taxes.

For exam- ple. one former in England wrote a letter to his local paper in which I he stated that when setting one of his hens, he had. out of curiosity. included a Chinese (9122 and that a snake came out of the shell. No knew what kind of a snake it was. because he killed it on sight.

The harm was done. and many Enalish housewives would as soon purchase a Chinese egg as they would pick up a hot potato no matter how low the price. This preiudice was overcome by shipping the Chinese eggs in Am- erica where they were readily ac- cepted as English eras.
