Commissioner Boolh's Visit

An honoured visitor to Char- lottetown this evening will be Com- missioner W. Wycliffe Booth, newly appointed Salvation Army leader in Canada and Bermuda. who will be accompanied by Mrs. Booth and other Salvation Army leaders. and will conduct an evangelistic rally.

Commissioner Booth's family

name is itself a' mark of high distinc- tion, known and honored through- out the world. He is a grandson of the Army's founder and first Gen- eral. William Booth. and a son of its scrond ticncral. Bramwell Booth. Iilrs. Booth also comes from a fam- ily which has given outstanding leadership in Salvation Army activi- tics in Europe.

The great organization they rep- resent is replete with examples of this kind. where children and grand- children liare carried on. with zeal and devotion. the work initiated by the older geiiwation. It is a mission now recognized universally for its achievements in practical Christian- ity. Many years ago an outpost was established here, which has flourish- ed and grown up with the commun- ity and stands high in the list of our humanitarian organizations. The Commissioncr's visit will be an in- spiration to all associatr-ri with this work, and a matter of friendly in- terest to all our citizens.

Canadian Club For P.E.l.

A welcome addition to our local Orkanizations will be the newly formed Canadian Club for Prince Edward Island. There are now about a hundred Canadian Clubs located in all the larger cities, and most of the bigger towns across Canada, with a total membership of 40.000. . These clubs provide an excellent opportunity for distinguished Cana- dians or visitors from other coun- tries to speak on issues of national and intcrnational importance. As an example. the speakers who will be brought. here under Club auspices in the near future will include Mr. A. D. l)unton. chairman of the Cana- dian Flrondt-asting Company, Hon. Ceor;:r- M:u'lcr', Minister of Trans- port. Dr. Sydney Smith. president of the l.'nivct.sity of Toronto, and Licutcnanl Gcncral Guy Simmonds, rctircd Chief of Staff of the Cana- dian Army. Many Canadian Clubs do no morc than arrange important mct-tings of this kind, but in other rontrcs, p rticularly whcrc there arc no spcctal organizations in the fivld. they work toward the objec- fivcs of a united Canada and a

Thus New Brunswick French in- sinuates English words.i

But for many French terms there is no precise English. We can un- derstand "la polltesse du coeur”- perhaps kindness or warmhearted ness. But we cannot say it pre- cisely. Similarly "la joie de vivre' and "rest la vie" are really in- expressible in English.

French terms are more logical.
