The buildings to be constructed immediately are shown in black, and clearing is under way now on-the southerly end of the plot.

The cabaret, dance and Easter fashion parade sponsored by the Women's Hospital Auxiliary in Princess Hall on March 13, While not completely attaining its financial objective of supplying funds to .purchase a quartz mercury lamp for the city hospital, nevertheless gave the fund a splendid boost and provided something entirely new in enter -

The "girls" also burlesqued the previously held Easter fashion parade to the vociferously acclaimed deKght of the specators.
Other numbers on the programme included a song, "In an Old Spanish Garden," by the Misses R. and E. Miller and Lorna Quinn; "Come to the Fair," by Thomson Ogg, with Mrs. V. Morgan as accompanist; song, "Down Mtexico Way," by Mrs. K. Matheaon.

"The station will be gradually staffed with qualified technical men for experimental and extension work to meet the needs of the district. The work of the experimental station will not duplicate the work of any present Dominion or provincial agencies, but will rather assist and co-operate with any present service in the development of an agricultural policy that will tend to better the conditions throughout this vast and promising agricutural territory."
