In the thirty-seven years that I Ivcd in Prince Edward Island I spent at least one half of my time. for one eaueo or another. in trav- eling over the province. I knew most oi the places and hundreds oi Ipeople. but what made me moat cur- ious was the unbecoming names possessed‘ by certain places. I was always asking why. Very frequent- 1y the‘ authorities consulted did not agree. Flor example, that pretty vil- ' lage known as Morel], on the rail- ‘; way line between Mt. Stewart and _St. Peters, the home of my cld Jriend. Harvey D. McEwen. It has u nicu name, but why? One histor- ian says that a man by the name ioi Charles Morell was tha first set- tler in that part and owned all of the township (number forty.) He was a large ship builder, a. man c! much importance and. well liked, hence the name. Another historian aaya that one Charles Worrell, a native oi England, was one of the first settlers and s. leading citiren and became so popular that he was‘ elected to the Legislative Council ‘ and became president oi that body. r.- A certain Captain ccliese (after whom the Hon. James College Pope was named) was a great admirer bi Worrell and named the place after him, but in some way the letter " “Maw” written for "w" and the “name appeared on the map as , Mcrell. Another writer claims that the ',_ place was named after one Jean a Francois Morel, a nativeof St. Malo, where he was born in 1697.7 Ho married Marie Josephta LaGarenne. ‘pat North St. Peters, near Morell river. Be that as it may, Morell is a nice name and that "floating bridge" was a. curiosity that brought many visitors to Morell.

It 1s true that there is HOUR-lid Cove, written into history thirty- three years ago ‘by the late Judge Fitzgerald in his story o! “The .

Ho. however, remembered the man who ' gave him‘ the work oi surveyiris the p Island, Governor Montague Wilmot. The river Montague and later, the town at the head oi that beautiful stream will always remind one oi that Nova Sootia governor who rui- ed there irom i762 to i766 and was always interested in Isle St. Jean. Then there was that romantic fellow, Thomas Pichon (alias Tho- mas Tyrell) who spent two years loasting around the Island in 1151- 1753. He says he discovered s. river ' and named it the "River oi Toads." I have met man who declared that at certain times and Disco! llldy have seen "snakes," but as to this "river of toads" I "has me doots." Notwithstanding that this man Wild a scholar, had studied medicine. was secretary for Count de Ray- mond (when the count was govern- or oi Inuisburg) wrote a book and did many other things, there is no place in thgprovince thatbears the name oi Pichon or ‘Iylrell.

Sitting around the camp fire one night, the boys were telling where they came from. Tommy was from London, Donald from Glasgow, David from Wales, Peter from New Iceland, Sam from the United States, Patrick from Ire- ‘land. one oi the boys turned to Sandy and asked him where he came from. "Lot Seven." was Sandy's answer. Lucy Maude Montgomery (Mrs; McDonald.) our popular author whom we ail like, has manufactured s. number of names in P. E. Island every writer for the last hundred years has gone over and over this. There is a. place known as "no man's land" between Freetown and Tryon that gets its name from the fact that when the surveying from .the north and south was done there was a picee left that could not be included in either lot, so it was just left as “no man's land." This piece is owned by thrifty people at this date, and it is "Iomdboflyb land" between Dots ii’! and 28. That nar- row part‘ oi the province between Bedeque and Richmond bays was to be Sunny-sick on the south and Winter-aide on the north, was changed from Green's Shore to Bum merside, and as Winter-side was too cold a name, it was not used at all. and the location is now known as "North" or "Book's" Shore. When "The Tunnel" through that two and one half mile strip from _Summer- side to the north shore—now being considered-is completed, I am per- suaded that there will be chosen a very suitable name, equal to Prince Rupert on the Pacific Coast or ‘Churchill on the Hudson Bay. There are many other places that I am acquainted with in-"The Gar- den of the Gull." but I know that my space is limited in The Maple Laef. The story would not be com- plete unless I mentioned Tea. Hill on the mad from Southport to Pownal. All women know, and men too, that a. isdy once upon a. time had boon purchasing in Charlotte- town snd returning home by way of the old ferry boat Elfin, was goV ing down the hill, east oi South- port with her arms full oi parcels. Slag stumbled and in the fall the package of tea was-broken and spilled. she was unable to gather it all up from the sand and clay ‘and some oi the tea remained ior a long time. Hence the name, "Tea Hill." I have traveled up and down Green Gables to her latest one, Tangled Web. In this last one she has “Bay Silver," "nose River," “In- dian Springs," "Three Hills" and other coinfngs. It takes a. person oi imagination to write a novel, but Mrs. McDonald has-drawn upon her resources to put "Three Hills" on P. E. Island. It is in the Province of Alberta, Section 31, Township 24. west oi the fourth, and is called after three small hills running northwest to southeast. In the Cree language it is "Nis-io." but we shall let it go at that.

This division was organized informally in 193B under the part-time direction of Dr. Rob- ert Newton, proiessor of field crops and head of the department o! plant biochemistry, University of Alberta. Dr. Newton will now come to Otta- wa anci devote his whole time to the administration of this division. The division is a development from investigations! work the na- tional research councii has been fostering for some time by grants in aid of research in various univer- sities and by promoting large co- ordinated researches in which sev- eral institutions have participated. In the new laboratories, opened officially on Aug. i0,’ accommoda- tion has been reserved ior biolog- ical and agricultural research. Though the financial condition of the country makes any large expan- sion impossible at the present time, same results when carried out in diflerent laboratories, it would be necessary to rule cut the personal factor. The procedure must be re- duced to a series of iuliy standar- ized operations, carried cut in exact- ly the same way every time. uch an ideal could only be reached by completely meohaniaing the process from start to finish. This ideal has not yet been fully attained. and further efforts to that end will be put forth in the new laboratories. Alreddy considerable progress has ‘been made with some oi the re- maining difiicuities, such as sub- stituting an electrical appliance for a human eye in scoring the ccior oi the bread. Another matter which calls ur- gently for attention is a further investigation of methods ior esti- mating wheat quality with very small samples. To round out the wheat studies, it is proposed to continue chemical investigations of the growth oi the wheat plant, from germination to mdiiirliy. Many problems relating both to the yield of wheat varieties and to the nature and quality of U"! grain cannot be fully under- stood until further investigation of S OLEMN SER VICES _ of Vespers and Complins gby clergy befqre the Blessed Sacra- i-ment took place.

Work which depends primarily on field contacts (like that of the Grain Research Committee, which collects large numbers of les from special areas) will, it is ex- pected, be continued 1n local cen- tres as at present. The programme in the new laboratories at Ottawa will so far as possible be confined to fundamental phases amenable only to‘ cleiy controlled conditions. . The first project on the tentative programme is the development of apparatus and methods ior plant growth under mplewi, controlled conditions. With apparatus for completely controlling conditions it will be pos- sible tc study the effect oi light, temperature and other climatic factors separately, not only on the total yield oi the crop, but on its chemical composition and nutritive value, including the content oi vita- mines. Here the artimai houses on the roof oi the new laboratories will come_ into play, and the plant material grown under controlled conditions will form the starting Point for a series of fundamental studies in animal nutrition, with small animals. ' , Closely related to this will be a study cf the decomposition of plant iesldues in the soil, and oi the ef- fect oi the decomposition products on the growth both of crop plants and of the micro-organisms which a" 5° imboftant in the soil. Many of these organisms are‘ beneficial bringing about the decomposition of crop residues and ensuring a supply oi soluble nitrogen to the growing crop. Others are parasitic on crop plants, sometimes doing serious iniury to the roots and other parts oi the plants. Another group oi problems listed for further attention concerns wheat. The Associate Committee on Grain Research has done, through the cc-operation of the universities in the prairie provinces and the Board of Grain Commissioners, a great deal of.’ work on such practic- al problems as the drying oi wheat, the quality and grading of frosted wheat, and the relative quality oi the principal wheat varieties grown in Western Canada. Among these fundamental aspects deserve to be mentioned the me- chaniaaticn and standardization oi test milling and baking. The esti- mating oi the quality oi wheat, both oi new produced by plant breeders or introduced from abroad, and‘ oi the crop produced iromyeartoyearinvariousparts oi the country depends upon experi- mental millings and baking tests.

Both ladies chatted inrfirmd-lly. and their addresses were o! a most interesting nature. They fold of the great advances which had been made in the progress of Education for women in India, and in England. The first speaker was Lady Chat- idfido- She is a doctor of science and an authoress, as well as being widely informed on industrial and educational matters. The great ad- vancement of education in India even since 1926. when the Ail-In- dian Women's Social and Educat- ional Conference was fcnned, was tcid of by Lady Chaterjee, who said that since that time the members had been doing great things. in some parts of Indie. there is now compulsory education, and women are more and more deman-‘irtg it for girls. High praise was given the work oi the Women's Institutes which originated in Ontario. and Lady Chaierjee said she felt certain that could they but spread throughout the whole of India, nothing but benefit could accrue from them. Mrs. Walter Runciman told of her old college, Cambridge, saying she was not a graduate although she had passed all the examinat- ions. In Cambridge they do not yet award diplomas to women who get through on the same percentage as men. She told of the struggle it was for her to go to college as at that time the arguments used were that "ladies did not go." She would never be a housekeeper and no man would ever marry her, it was threatened- Mrs. Runcbnan emphatically celled this "unutterable rubbish." The advantages oi univorsliy Ed‘ ucation were emphasised by Mi‘!- Hoqnent Sermon After the Rosary, the sermon was delivered by His Excellency Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Sulilvan who took for his text “Jesus of Nazareth Passes By", st. Luke 18, se-sc.
