by all the associations of P.E.l. in order to buy books for the school. On November 13, 1969, Hesta MacDonald and I made the little crossing by launch to Lennox Island and brought our gift of some 400 books for the pupils. How sad we felt when the school went up in flames in 1971!

In January 1970 another person died as a result of the treacherous crossing on the ice, and we wrote again to the Secretary of State in Ottawa, as well as to the editor of the Charlottetown papers, urging haste with the construction and demanding to know how many more lives must be lost before the

causeway became a fair accomp/i.

September 1970 provided me with the great privilege of a pilgrimage to Baddeck to the home of Alexander Graham Bell, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Home and School movement. A commemorative wreath was placed on the grave of Mr. and Mrs. Bell, and trees were planted for each of the provincial federations of Home and School near a little cairn marking the spot where stood the Baddeck Academy which housed the 1895 meeting of parents and teachers which is recognized as the founding of the Home and School movement in

Canada.

Home and School was honoured to be asked to make a presentation before the LeDain Commission of Enquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs, and we did so in February and again in November 1970. Home and School was stressing the need for education in this area long before it was generally acknowledged that there was a drug problem in P.E.|.

Home and School also took the opportunity of appearing before the Corrections Commission which met in Charlottetown

in November 1970.

Another special occasion that I recall was when we were asked to send two representatives to participate in a CBC first — a T.V. programme when Premier Campbell and Opposition Leader George Key were Open To Question by a representative audience of fifty. Questions asked related to Day Care Centres, Pre—marriage Counselling, Services for Delinquents, and Teacher

Training.
