M Many Advantages The value of an Alumni Association in connection with Prince of Wales College has long been realized, and Wednesday night's organization meeting, with the ap- pointment of provisional executive officers under Chief Justice Campbell, will com- mend itself to a large number or former students at home and abroad. Prince of Wales was probably the only publicly-own- ed educational institution of its kind in Canada without an organization of this kind. The benefits of an Alumni Association are manifold. It keeps students in touch with their alma mater and with each other, cementing friendships formed at college by lifelong contact through the Association members. It also enables the faculty to maintain their interests in the students and their achievements. It is one of the EDI I URIAI.

Two women by the name of M'Grath were arraigned on an indictment for burglsriously entering a dwelling of one Adam Murray. and stealing a cash box with a quantity of money.

Scientific agriculturists believe that better results from a fertility point of view are obtained by breaking the sod irregularly all over the field. This, of course, makes planting more difficult, not to mention hoe- ing and reaping.

Prince of Wales now has 14,000 alumni registered and its student body numbers over 600. Many of its former students are accessible, the' bulk of them being still on the Island and able to participate readily in alumni activities. There are, of course, SCHOOL COSTS Thllilatreshnewweokwlih clean pages on which we can write of what befails. The pity is that onc bsrly entry should be dreary. From Toronto we have the note N183 the United Church Board of Evangelism and Social Service has considered it necessary to put be- fore 3 general meeting of the Church a resolution to ask minist- ers to tell their congregations that tax evasion is immoral as well as illegal. The resolution, we must believe. is the result of Sir, - In your Editorial Notes of mall I notice you quote me as say- ing Prince street School cost 322,- 000 in the 70's.

By love of others, Nurses and doctors, builders with Saskatchewan has honoured the mem- many former students in other Provinces and it is well known that Islanders abroad always like to gather and discuss old times "back home”. Prince of Wales alumni meetings in the larger cities would encour- age such friends of the Island and of the College to continue or renew their associa- tions with the institution and their friends. The formulation of such branches will doubtless be undertaken when the Associa- tion gets fully under way. Meanwhile, an encouraging start has been made. Life Insurance Information Nearly five million Canadians are pay- ing premiums to the extent of more than M00 millions annually to life insurance companies operating in the Dominion. That their confidence is not misplaced is proved by the fact that' no policy-holder in a Canadian legal reserve life insurance com- pany has ever lost a dollar through non- payment of the amount guaranteed under his policy at death or on maturity since. the .first company was established more than a century ago. British and United States life insurance companies doing busi- ness in Canada have likewise a splendid record. While life insurance has become the major source of personal and family secur- ity for most Canadians, its complex oper- ations give rise to occasional misconcep- tions with regard to the business and liow it is conducted. The Life Underwriters Association of Canada has provided for this contingency by the publication of a ne- vised "Question and Answer Book" which should meet with widespread appreciation. Attractively printed and,edlted, the book- let runs to over a hundred pages dealing ory of a former Charlottetown man by naming a lake in his memory. Major L. Gass, who was killed on active service over- seas was originaliyfrom this Province. His parents now live in Regina. The gestule is a very fine one and will be widely ap- preciated. and well-being depends on the Mother Country's patronage? Nova Scotia apple growers can not manage to get along with- out it, and are endeavouring to induce the Trade Commissioner -to increase his order for the current surplus crop. Now, Can- ada's diplomatic differences with Poland, -are likely to result in an increase of Bri- tain's timber import from Nova Scotia, and probably here, for pit props. I O 0 Ice cream manufacturers may not be a large body, but probably they are the most popular who hold annual conventions. The gathering here Wednesday indicated this, when the chief guest speaker, Brigadier Reid, President of the Canadian Tourist As- sociation, told them that the success of tourism depended very largely on the qual- ity they, and others, provided for the enter- tainment of visitors from abroad. Perfec- tion and Pure are fitting designations for such products. Eleven years ago, on September 28. 1939, the late Hon. Norman McL. Rogers, then Minister of National Defence, an- nounced that the 1st Canadian Division was shortly to proceed overseas and that the 2nd Canadian Division was to stand by. Non-Permanent Active Militia units all over Canada were mobilizing daily and the coastal defences were manned.

Institutions which of- fered to numerous young girls be- longing to the Island the benefits of superior education." If Pcllsrd was correct in his date then Prince street school was" erected in 1858.
