Immigration and Missionary Endeavour Statistics show twelve families of displaced persons. eighty men and twenty women in this Province. Our Provincial President. Mrs, Mc- Millan. and our Convenor of im- migration. Mrs. McMahon, repre- sent the League on organized groups in the Province. which care for placement of our new Canad- ians in employment, etc. As 80 per cent of these people are Catholics. special care is taken by our repre- sentative to see that they are placed in situations where they may have the opportunity of pract- ising their faith. and also in be- coming familiar with our language. Our Provincial contribution of ap- prcximalely 5170.00 to our Mission- ary endeavour, the sisters of ser- vice and Missionaries of Mary has been of great assistance to further the spiritual work carried on by these sisters at the ports of entry into Canada and in the far-flux? reaches of the West. .

Resolutions passed at that meeting dult 'with the appoint. ment of an ambassador to the Vatican by the Canadian cover..- rn.snt:- a lower rental Provincial Building program: increased Gov- ernment aid to our vs b nuges; the replacing of Latin on the cur- riculum of our one-room schools, and the campaign against sailaclous literature. in concluding this resume of the work of the Catholic Women-s League in this Province. I wish to state that reports received, from Sub-divisions show the spirit of sincere and loyal co-operation in furthering the objectives of our organization. The, encouragement and direction of our revered Blah- op, our Provincial Director. and all sub-division directors. has been the incentive which has made the work accomplish 1 the success that it has been. For this we tare duly grateful. and look forward with confidence, to greater accomplishments "For God and Canada". ' Respectfully submitted. . Regina Murray Executive secretary.

This is another in the series of county books that are being writ- ten at present and it is fully up to the itsndurd of the others. Ulster- has. as everyone knows, played an importent part in the history of the British Isles. The geographic-1'. factor has helped make it the home of a number of distinct communit- ies during past centuries. Now its historic role is that of home of a separate Government of Northern Ireland. Mr. shearmsn has been thorough in his work. He has described Ulster from the stone Ages to the present. In those ancient days the stone Age man was drawn to Ulster by the presence there of much. accessible flint. with which he made implements-and weapon.-. A chapter deals with the. mesalithic people in Ulster. The author states. "Few monuments of the past have excited so much curiosity. superstitious awe and cupldity as have the great stone calms and dolmens to which the nsmeimegalithic has been given These attitudes of mind which they have aroused in successive gener- ations have caused the monument:-. to be interfered with in various ways before they could be scienti- fically examined and recorded The hope of loot caused many of them to be rifled at different periods For example. a calm was open:-d on scrabo Hill and found to cor.- tain a quantity of early Scandin- avian coins and a small clay pipe Evidently it had been broken into at two different apart." y Ireland. of course, is the home of fairy tales and legends. and Ulster has its fair share. Mr. Bhearmar. has unearthed far more than he can record. He says: "Craft, skill, elegance. capacity in music and the arts and. above all, physical beauty. are peculiar attributes of the great figures of the Irish myths. If we follow the old principle of the cynical saying that an honest god is the noblest work of man. or. in other words. that human beings displdy theirown character in their conception of deity, then the myths of ancient Ireland tell us the character of her people" The book is well illustrstqi, and highly informative, a prize for any library. 0. w. 1..

"I do want to help. both 101' Ellen and you." She won. tiered slain why she and Ellen. had been friends. She had never been able to tell. The friendship had sprung in school from loneli has. and Ellen had never let it lapse. "Somehow I hate your driving off- alone like this," said Mark, her hand still in his. - "Loneliness is my trade," she told him laughing. "I get all my best plots rambling around by myelf. It's about the only time I have to think." He laid her hand against his lips. He could feel' her fingers tighten for a second over his. Then she loosened them gently and drove away. 0 O I Valerie was filled with alternate shi-vers of delight and dread at the thought of Shirley's party. She loved to dance, and the prospect of going off along just to be amused was stupendous. She relayed Shirley's invitation to -Lucy, who wisely declined it. Lucy telephoned Shirley when Valerie was out of hearing. "You're sweet to ask me," she said. "but I think I shan't come. You'll understand how it is. I've been longing for' her to know children her own-age. But i didn't know just how to go about it." "I wish you'd told me." Shirley's voice came back warmly. "l'd'love to he1p,whenever I can. Maybe you'll have lunch with me some day soon. There are some things I might be able to on you." Something in her toneg made Lucy agree eagerly. "Pd love it."

It wasn't until Chiltern announc- ed dinner that Lucy realized she WI! sitting down to her first meal alone with Mark. It was early Sep- tember and summer was still in the air. Lucy were white. and her eyes were dark under the gold of her hair. It was the purest gold Mark had ever seen. Net platinum nor honey. but the color of an old bumiahed coin. It lay in smooth waves against her little head, and Mark found himself suddenly long- inl to touch it. She sat now at the other end of Mark's table, and for the first time since he had rescued her from the Ark he seemed to her almost. a stranger. There was something in the air between them. vaguely ex. citing and a little disturbing. A sort of gay formality.

"The world's gone on since your time and mine. if that's what you mean." agreed Chiltern amiahly. "Not, of course. that we're as young as we were once." It was not in the least what Mrs. Ba-nwood meant, as he knew. He was also aware that she guarded the secret of her age jealously. She drew the line of her lips tight as she looked at him without an- swering. He knew quite well that she was registering disapproval of affairs on the terrace. And he knew she dared not voice them more ex- plicitly without encouragement from him. which she would never get. She smiled blandly and went back to see if there was something more he could do for Mark and Lucy. There was not. for they both de- clined a second cup of coffee; and ing 'of all sorts of things.
