Play Presented To large Au_d_i_ences

' sponsored by the at. Charles uxiliary of the Charlottetown prospitsl. the annual Easter play yes given before cappcity audiences t both afternoon and evening per- yesterday It the Prince ward Thelfil. This year's production was the Eygtery comedy, "rho Gold Flame"

y Edward Rose. and was directed

y Mr. .1. Austin Trsinor CD A.

he play is not one of Rose's been and at times the intrigue .1 which the story gets. its plot is almost farcical. _ ‘

The cast of local players how- ever, proved themselves very cap- able in their handling of the dif- ficult roles they assumed. Ind I top-notch performance was given by Harold Clark as the slick Kent Rebel‘. Pauline whclan as Glad, and Frances Hennessey as Mrs. name also gave chafacterisationa ‘which were stand-outs.

Others in the cast were Mrs. 11. W. Davison as Mrs. Boyd. Willa Fitzgerald as Helen Linden. Eisner Gallant as Benton,'Ines Murray Is Madame Kanson. Shirley Mac- Naliy as Dem-as. Leith Sweeney Is James Hobby. and Carmen Thomp- son as John Blake.

Excellent music before the per- :for-manoe and during the intermis- sions was provided by the Down- t.ow_nera' orchestra. Mr. Paul Shame pr-ovcd'himself I. very capable M.C. and did much to keep the pace of the entertainment rolling.

The best specialties seen on the stage of the Prince Edward for some time were given between acts at last night's performance. The accordion playing of 12 year oivl Douglas Pinesu proved to be a show-stopper and he was cslleri back repeat ‘ly for encores by it most enthusiastic “ . The Western Four also stopped the show with their instrumental quar- tettes featuring excellent violin playing by Connie Dolron. other members of the "Four" were xcith Robinson. sterling Young and -Vern

Rogers.

Veteran entertainer Austin Train- or again proved that audiences still love the type of entertainment given in vaudeville days. and that a trick neoktie and a good person- ality will go a. long way in bring- ing laughs to theatregoers. Gerald Ready with his baritone renditions of popular songs. and Lorraine M/eatherbie's tap dancing rounded out the specialties.

The performance was under the distinguished patronage of His Honour Lieut. Governor J.A. Bur- nard and Mrs. Bernard. and His Worship Mayor B. Earle MacDon- ald and Mrs. MacDonald. Wordscf appreciation to all contributors ‘ were expressed on behplf of t.he'8t. Charles Auxiliary by Dr. W.J.P. Macldlllan.

LONDON. April 10 -- (OP) — A series of Easter conferences will consider claims that low salaries are keeping Britain's best teachers or would-be tesche out of the o0untI'y's class-rooms.

Among other things. it will no argued that the government's at- tempt to keep wages and salaries It their present levels bears just as hard on teachers as it does on railway workers, coal miners and civil servants.

The conferences are at More- cambe. Lancashirc. where the Na- tional Associ " of schoolmaster: will be asked by its executive to declare einphuically that restraint on schoolmasters‘ salaries is “dem- onstrably unjust," and at Brighton, scene of the annual meeting of the National Union of Teachers.

A priority resolution It the Brighton conference will demand s “substantiai" salary increase at the earliest possible ent.

Chorus of Disapprovsl

An advance sampling of opinion produces this chorus of disapproval against any status quo in salaries-

Wales ._ the teaching profess-.on la "disgruntled, disgusted and dis- appointed." says Ralph Prothero, president of the welsh Federation of Head Teachers.

Scotland -— "if the nation puts its children under the rejects of other trades and professions, in- stead of under -well-educated and properly-trained professional men, it must be prepared to pay thr- pm”.

This is an excerpt from a survey of all types of schools in Scot- land. published by the Scottish Schoolmaste ..' Association.

England — (‘our school teachers are frustrated and disillusioned," said Lord Bcaverbrook's Evening standard, which usually opposes the government. “Science graduates are refusing to enter what is now a dead-end profession."

If teachers need any more arr.- munition, they can point to I statement by Conservative leader Winston Churchill. who in a rec ent House of Commons debate, said he is not greatly attracted by the over-crowded schools and under- paid teachers."

Or they can quote another part’!- age from the Scottish‘ survey. In this one a witness reported that "unconsciously he had stopped teaching a lesson and found him- self staring at the walls of the class room wondering how he would scrape through to the end of the month."

The sasne report quotes one i “ 's budget: "No holidays. no cinemas, no theatres. no smoking. no vegetables. no fresh fruit, nil pocket money for children, -notlh ing but teaching."

M240 A Week

some teachers. it contendcd.'1e- ceive less than :4 ($12.40) I. week. University honors graduates, who do not start earning until their 24th year. start at just under £7 a week -— generally regarded as tho national average for all classes — and increase gradually to I. maxi- mum of cm after 11 years. .

‘ Teachers Federation

Governors llonriean

' Juvenile ilsgszines

The Board of Governors of the P. E. 1. Teachers Federation in their annual meeting preliminary to the Easter convention yesterday, passed a» resolution depioring the fact that nowhere in Canada is there I suitable magazine for juve- stiles.

This resolution is being dealt with by teachers’ organizations all across Canada. It is complained that today. in place of crime crem- ics. sexy romances of I very questionable type for such youths. are being published.

Mciean's Magazine Publishing Company have been approached by an Alberta group of citizens to publish a suitable type'of juvenile magazine. but in vain.

A new schedule of Federation fees will be suggested for approv- ai by the general assembly of teachers.

The general secretary reported on the recent conference of east- ern secretaries of Canadian teach- er organizations.

At this meeting. such matters as federal aid. program for C. '1‘. 1'. conventions. salaries. teacher short- age. general pollcy of C.T.F.. eta. were discussed. The P.A.P.'1‘. or- ganlzation of Quebec under the jurisdiction of Dr. Percival as Dir- ector of Education was the only association reporting teacher shori- agc worse than that of past years.

The one bright outlook in the rather gloomy picture was that Dr. Percival has continually re- fused to lower the standard of certification.

Mr. Macl-‘adyen announced that a meeting of the teachers‘ execu- tive with representative groups of farmers. Women's Institute mem- rbers and Legion is contemplated for May 9th to discuss together our Island educational problems.

Further reports were given on .1 meeting of the Advisory Council of Education. educational publicity campaign. pensions. code of ethics. summer school. certification. Marl- time Common Examining Board. teacher-trustee contract. meetings of local executive groups and‘ con- ference of Maritime school broad- casts.

Federal Aid

In connection with Federal aid for education it was reported that

stirring up favorable Public re- action as well as strong support in the House of Commons. Hope was expressed that each Provin- cial Govcrnment will lend its sup- port in urging Federal aid for ed- ucation as an item on the agenda for the Dpminion-Provincial con- ference in September.

A sum of 310.000. double last year's amount has been voted by the Government for summer school to be held in Charlottetown. Assurance. too. of instructors for such a summer school has been given.

The constitution and by-laws committee. under the chairma - ship of Mr. John Connolly. P. . College. will be asked to make a comprehensive study of all other provincial teachers’ acts of incor- poration to make suimesiions whereby our Island Act of Incor- poration may be further improved.

In conclusion. final preparations

The Conservative Yorkshire Post

said one of the results is that out of 897 men who graduated from Oxford in mathematics or iences from 1946 to me, only so entered

th teaching profession. e government in the past has expressed sympathy with the

plight of the teachers. But there seems to be no disposition to de- ‘part from the wage freeze. now in its third year without having sup- plied any conclusive answer to the old question about what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.
