tives on this executive. In June 1961, Mrs. Eugene Cullen, Reg 
     
     MacNutt and Louis McGuire were named as Home and School 
     
     representatives. Later, Eric Kipping was named to replace 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. McGuire. 
     
    
   
   
    
     During the same period, P.E.|. Home and School sent 
     
     delegates to the first Canadian Conference on Education in 
     
     Ottawa in 1958. At a Canadian Conference on Education held in 
     
     Montreal in March 1962, Mrs. Basil MacDonald, Eric Kipping and 
     
     Rev. Father Simpson were delegates, while Dr. Kenneth Parker 
     
     also attended but in another capacity. Some twenty-one 
     
     delegates from this province attended the 1962 Canadian 
     
     Conference. The conclusion was that these people, representing 
     
     teachers, trustees and the Federation of Agriculture as well as 
     
     Home and School, could form a dynamic force to work toward a 
     
     better educational system in our own province. 
     
    
   
   
    
     WHOLESOME LITERATURE 
     
    
   
   
    
     Beautiful and infinite possibilities exist within the mind and 
     
     the soul of a child. Within our society, however, there are some 
     
     people who make financial gain by putting sordid and degrading 
     
     influences into the minds of our children and youth, through 
     
     displaying obscene and salacious literature on our newstands. 
     
     Home and School has a continuing concern with this problem, 
     
     and for several years Matt Hagan as Chairman of Community Life 
     
     worked toward getting more wholesome literature on Island 
     
     news-stands. 
     
    

    
     A resolution from the Souris Association came before the 
     
     provincial executive on November 8, 1960, to the effect "that 
     
     objectionable literature should be banned from the province." On 
     
     January 10, 1961, Attorney General M. J. McOuaid met with the 
     
     executive to discuss ways of dealing with salacious literature. 
     
     From that discussion came the decision to contact the presidents 
     
     of other organizations and to arrange a meeting with them. There 
     
     is no record of a meeting of presidents but there must have been 
     
     an agreement to act expeditiously, for on February 1, 1961 there 
     
     took place in Birchwood High School a ”Special Meeting of 
     
     Delegates from Various Societies and Organizations”, called by 
     
     Home and School "with the approval of the Attorney General".
