Properly undergoing Big Transfonnation On Kent Street Work on the reconstruction of "10 Douala: and Jones Building on Kent Street is expected to be Ompleted in June as rapid pro- lresa is being made in the tram- formetion of the construction from a residence into a modem store and office building. A three storey construction. the first floor will be occupied by Dollsias and Jones. The commod- ious second floor will probably house the offices of the veteran's Land Act Administration Hid the third floor will probably be used for apartments. The reconstruction work is be- ins done by the County Construct- ion Compony under the capable supervision of their foremen. Mr. Edwin Perry. Already all the in- side portions of the building have been torn out. and an entrance has been made in the East end which will give admission to the second and third floors. - The cellar has been deepened and concreted with the concrete wall rising several feet above the earth's surface. The front and sidewalls have been done in local- ly manufactured new type brick and the-front will he finished in vitrolite. The building is being recon- structed from the residence owned for the past number of years by the Stewart Estate. It was former- ly the residence and office of Dr. James Warburton. Annual Meeting Continued from line 1 year ending March 31, 1950, we should feel a distinct satisfaction in what has been accomplished in a very few months. However. this satisfaction with a job well done. should not cause us to rest on our laurels but rather it should spur us to even greater activity in service to the blind and in the prevention of blindness during the year that is ahead. It had long been the dream of the Maritime Division Office of the Institute to set-up this Prov- ince as a district with an ofifice in Charlottetown. in charge of a field secretary and a board to guide him. in putting into effect the aims of the Institute. This dream was realized during the past year. in April Mr. Wood. who had un- dergone a three months' period of training. arrived and immediately began his field work. In June, the office was opened in Char- lctteiown and in October this Board was constituted. During the year Mr. Wood called upon every known blind person in the Province and through his visits came requests for employment. home teaching. eye service. library service. financial assistance, frce radio licenses, radios and batter- ies at reduced prices, wool, leath- er and plastic materials at cost. special appliances for the blind and information on and ssistance with a variety of personal pro- blems. All these requests were attended to promptly, either through our local office or through the Divisional Office at Halifax. In the field of employment beautiful new stand was , I few months ago, in the Charlotte- town Hospital. The operator of iilis canteen is George I-Iaines of French River, who previously to being placed, has been given two months training in this type' of work at. the Divisional Office. An- other man, Peter McGarry of Iona, was placed in the Institute Broom Factory in Toronto. but unfortunately he became homesick and returned to Iona at the end of one month. For a number of years Miss Ruth Connors of Char- lottetown. has been working at Moirs' Limited in Halifax, where she was placed by the Institute and is doing a very satisfactory job. Mr. Guerney Campbell of New Perth. who had been em- ployed at the Institute Broom Factory in Toronto for a number of years, retired during the year and has returned to Charlotte- town io live. During the fall and early win- fer Miss A. MacKinnon, a Mari- time Home Teacher gave free in- struction in Braille, handicrafts. knitting, etc., to 10 of our blind people. During this period she also called upon all those who had been taught in previous years. to check on the use they were mak- ing of their knowledge and to give them additional instruction, if de- sired. At March 31. 1950, there were registered 164 blind persona- of whom 23 had been added during the year. In addition 17 cases were closed out because of death or transfer outside our jurisdic- tion. As a further example of the In- stitute's efforts to improve the quality of its service to the blind a conference was held at the Divisional Office in Halifax "on January 3rd, 4th. and 5th, 1050, which was attended by the field secretaries, the home teachers and staff members of Divisional Of- fice. The purpose of the confer- ence was to clarify and co-ordin- ate the functions of the Division and District Offices. in order to promote more effective and effic- ient administration of the Insti- tuie's service program. The Charlottetown Women's Auxiliary has also played an im- portant part in our programme of services but I shall only ex- lend to them our sincere apprecia- iion for their work as Mrs. Mc- Millan. the president, will be making a report shortly. The treasurer will be giving a detailed report of income and ex- penditures for the year but I feel that I must record in this report the fact that despite many ob- stacles, we were able to reach and pass our budget objective, for which our thanks are due to Col. Rogers. the campaign chairman, and all who suisied him. in conclusion ladies and gentle- Finals For Drama Festival In May The dates for the finals of the Provincial Drama Festival have been set as May mills. 30th and am. to take place at the Empire Theatre in Charlottetown.

He pointed out that these conditions must be remedied as much as possible or society will pay a terrific price for these cases. He was enthusiastic in his re- marks about Mothers' Allowances and the Government legislation which has been passed in this Province for social assistance. To supplement these two factors he stated that some active child wel- fare agency must come into the picture. This agency he outlined could be run by the Government or by the people. He gave the good points of both and left the matter for the meeting to decide. All the speakers stressed j the need for participation by the peo- ple. It was stated that s4,D00 or s5,000 per year would be required to finance the organization in order to function properly. Hon. A. W. Matheson told the meeting the amount of money an organization would get would be small in-relation to the budget. He stated that if they received less than 50 per cent of the amount they needed they could not do their work properly and if they received more it would be con- trolled by the Government. He commented ' favourably on the need for a body of the public that would come to the Govern- ment and present constructive criticisn. He advised them to organize the society and press for Government aid in carrying on the work. A vote of thanks to Mr. Mac- Kinnon was extended at the meet- ing.

The number of persons claiming suppiementzary benefits at March 30. who were not registered at N E. S. offices when the program went into effect. Feb. 28 were: Atlantic 10.800; Queibec 37.000; Ontario 3,500; Prairies 3,200; Pac- ific 2.000. The department summed up the emplcyment. situation in the At- lantic region as follows: "There was an increase of 4.000 registered job seekers during March, exclusive of new registrants for ,plc-mentary benefits. Much of this increase is due to the situ- ation in Newfoundland. where the provincial public works program has been terminated. other con- stnlction is virtually at a. stand- still, and fishing has not yet be- gun. Layoffs in logging districts. particularly in northern New Brunswick, and the low level of port activity have added to the number of job seekers. In the coal mines, however. employment is at a high level...t.hn outlook for the construotion industry in the whole region is excellent."

April 3 -(W) - one of Canada's most powerful women's organisations-the Imper- ial Order. Daughters of the Empire -is coming "home" next month for the biggest annual meeting in its 50-year .hisi'o:ry.. Approximately 1,000 members are expected to attend the golden jub- ilee session May 26-31. While it isn't the first time this city has played host to an I. o. D. E. nat- ional convention, this meeting will have special significance. Montreal is the birth-Iplalce of the Order. In 1900 a Scottish-bom woman. Margaret Polscn Murray laid the foundations of a country-wide women's group devoted to King and country. The I. O. D. E. was ' the outcome. In the last half-century it's influ- ence has spread to almost every walk of Canadian life and into some of the most distant of the Empire. It has grown until there now are I. O. D. E. chapters in Bermuda. the Bahamas and in India. The Order also is associated with the Victoria League in England and the Daughters of the British Ern- pire in the United states. amine organization boasts a. membership of 32.000 in 930 chapters stretching from Prince Edward Island to the Yukon. Ontario with 391 chapters has the largest representation. Nova Scotia has 57 and New Brunswick more than 60. British Columbia has 119 and Alberta 103. In Saskatchewan there are some 60 chapters. in Manitoba 46 and in Quebec 82. The Yukon has three and Prince Edward Island four. The I. O. D. E. cut; its eye-teeth in a war era. Formed during the Boer War (1899-1902),'firsi: activ- ity was to collect field comforts for Canadian soldiers who saw action on South African battlefields. In the First World War it spent more than 35,000,000 on war ser- vices. Efforts in the Second world War totalled nearly 56,000,000. In the four years since the last con- flict. it has raised 51,000,000 to help iron out the wrinkles of the post- war period. Through its First War Memorial the Order has awarded bursaries and scholarships totalling more than 3500.000. To inaugurate the Second War Memorial the 1. 0. D. E. raised 3-583,000 to be distributed along edu- cstionai lines similar to the First Memorial. While war memo:-ials, education, wartime and post-war services. im- migration and child and family welfare are the major branches of I. O. D. E. work, the activities of the individual chapters are as var- led as the needs of the commun- ities in which they operatf. Authors, musicians an have been encouraged in their work.

I There's a re.giment's complement IOII them thinking that way. parts They belong to the 63rd I-Iesvy lAnti-Aircraft Regimenlt, Royal IAotillery. The unit maintains it Iisn't unique in Britain's "new ilook" army in thinking that time (spent in peeling potatoes, shifting lfurniture and carrying coal to i married quarters is wasted. The sergeans say it doesn't leave enough for lectures and familiar- ization work on radar, gun crew and technical training. They claim every minute is needed of the ill! months they've ,got for, turning national service- Imen into good soldiers, by which (they mean good gunners. A recent induction indicated the care the 63rd takes with its con- script recruits. It already had 200 of them and a second batch, 200 strong, was due. 1 The new men, veterans of two lwce-ks' service at a basic training centre. were welcomed with a ceremonial parade. The whole regiment of three batteries and headquarters group was drawn up on parade ground, brass badges and medals shining. dark blue berets at the proper angle. The recruits. standing loosely at ease watched as the regiment ad- vanced in review order, then in column of threesand then formed up in close column at the right of the parade ground.
