At the meetings the first item Is the singing of the Ode, With Miss MacNeill as organist Who knows every note and mode. Then the reading of the minutes After which the program starts Consisting of nice recitations And readings from the truest hearts. Then at last the lunch committees Serve a lunch in the best of style, Of all kinds of rich and good things That would stretch out for a mile. Now in social form they all do Just the very best they can, Chatting gaily to their neighbours Listening to music till hours wan. Changing sad hearts into gay ones When everybody likes to sing, Then it closes with the Anthem God Save Our Gracious King. In closing now with a few words I would say with words of cheer, That all honour to such women As we have in New Annan here. Who are not afraid of critics Or of those who might be mute, But standing always for a good cause Which found New Annan Institute. INTERESTING ITEMS The first telegraph cable house on Prince Edward Island was erected about the year 1850, when the first underwater cable was laid across Northumberland Strait . This house I understand still stands at ¬ verse and served as a termination point for the cable, and it was from here that the first message was transmitted to the mainland. Perhaps never in the history of the world has the future been so fraught with danger, and there are two things which make prediction particularly hazardous. One is the ever present danger of world wide nuclear war which would bring our civilization to an end. The other is the effect of the tremendous advances and discov¬ eries which are being made in all fields of science which could mean that our mode of living in the next quarter century may undergo a vast transformation in ways which we now cannot even imagine.
