Funeral Services At Ottawa For w liirjghton Beach tiled Cross Swimming Classes Concluded On Friday. August 0th.. the Red Cross Swimming Classes at Brigh- ton Beach were terminated for the summer. By two o'clock many en- thustastic children had congregat- ed at the Ordnance Grounds aid tests continued during most of thé afternoon. Although the day was ideally warm the strong wind ,caused heavy waves and many members of the Junior Class were sorely disappointed when they found it impossible to swim the Elementary Back Stroke for the requiyed 45 feet. However. "l! lilti- ~ressiul candidates felt a real sense of achievement when they realiz- ed that they had been able to sc- compiish this feat in heavy waters. After the tests. a program of games was carried on by the fn- structors. Miss Police Arsenault and Mr. Alex H. Macfean. A picnic supper was enjoyed b! lil- 5"" the supper. Mrs. Harry Cudmore. Director of Red Cross Swimming and Water safety , " ‘ thl whole group on Water Safety rules and pointed out the necessity for prsctirislng common sense in and around water. Prizes and awards were presented by Miss Arsenault and Mrs. Cudmoril. RP. Among those successful in CHAR . s, iilakes Strong Plea . For Dramatic Training Before Rotary Club Mr. Elmer Harris. actor. writer, and producer, who has been com- ing to his summer residence at For- tune, Prince Edward Island, for mill)’ years. and who has had many successful plays both in Hollywood and New York. told Ro- tarians at their luncheon yester- day that the develcpment of com- munity theatres in Prince Edward Island would be of great benefit. educationally. culturally, morally. and economically. “It is regrettable that you have no theatre here. where plays on their way to or from New York might be seen," said Mr. Harris. "Despite the fact that the ma- iorlty of people never see a. stage play, there is a growing interest in the spoken drama, and a desire to participate in it. People like to act. We all have a lot of the monkey in us. Children like to put on their father's stovepipe hat or their mother's long dress. and pre- tend they're grown up. They like to imitate. and it's well they dc. for imitation is the basis of our teach a fledgling to fly. Its the way s child learns to walk, to talk, to behave in general. Child psycholo- gists understand this, _and in many schools, pupils from six years on with their teachers are producing plays. 'I‘here's no better method of teaching young folk how tn comport themselves." Mr. Harris suggested that Prince of Wales College might lay em- phasls on dramatic training. ani that a professional stage director might be brought here and made part of the faculty. A man who ,could riot only lecture on the .theory and history of the drama. but teach acting and assist stu- dents in all branches of stage pro- duction. It-awould enable the stu- dents to present plays. classic and modern, and the college would as it should. be a seat of teaming. The benefit would be widespread. such training given to teachers would he in turn carried to the children in the rural schools. and they would be enabled to put on little plays many of which are written for the purpose. They would also be taught to build and paint their own scenery. dress up. put on make-up, wigs and false whiskeri learn to walk and talk. how to behave as'a king and queen.

L01"ra'ro~.'r:v_ cnanotalv Amateur Talent If the community had an audit- orlum. said Mr. Harris, talent could he developed among am- ateur players. It is also quite pas- sible that during the summer sea- _son a producer could be found ;wh0. if you'd make the proposition sufficiently attractive, would bring up from New York six plays to abs put on one a week, three mod- ern successes, such as you would like to see. and three new p-ays he'd like to try out. He would bring his own director, the neces- sary stars from stage or screen. and fill all the minor roles with am- ateur talent oi the Province. This. said Mr. Harris would be an adri- ed summer attraction. with a Dramatic Festival there'd be no lack of tourists. or summer guests. Such a venture should be of vast interest to business men. travel bureau. hotels, and the C.N.R. Another simpler and less ex- pensive way suggested Mr, Harlls is to bring in a star from New York or Hollywood. This has worked successfully in many theatre groups in the United states. The star knows the p.a_v by heart and all he takes with cllm is his suitcase. the scenery is built. the company is all rehearsed Whcfl he arrives. he merely runs through the lines with them. so that they get his method oi playing and handling props. 1t would be re- ressary to persuade lrfallfax. 3t. John. Moncton and other Mait- time centres to form similar self supporting community theltrt! each with a summer season. in order that it might be worth while for one of these stars to tour the Maritimes for three or four weeks.

You could not possibly appreciate it without spending the last thirty clays at the camp site. We who were fortunate en- ough to nave been there can as- sure you that the effect on the boys was, in almost every instance quite appreciable. 158 out of 160 campers were either from the City or the Towns of Summerside and Soubis, and these have little or no, opportunity to enjoy the beautyl and luxury of the country. Your generosity and thoughtfulness has made possible for them the privil- eges available to the country boy all the year round.

We would ’ 88-181 like to see camps such as this in each county. and each operating -for at least four ten-day periods so that possibly all our Island ooys might attend. You would feel g the same had you even visited our camp.
