CALENDAR REFORM
W..atanley Hall. Gave Interesting Ad-
dress..
Gea, Monday evening the -Y....1).5. of
tha.United Church had as their guest
seeaker, W,' Stanley Hall Principa1
of the Wiugha.rn High School, who
took. f9a: hie subject, "Calendar Re-
form", „vehicle was very interesting --
The. meeting was in charge of the
president, Miss Yvonne McPherson.
Following the opening exercises, the
Scripture tending was given by Crei-
ghton. Reid, followed by prayer by
DeWitt Miller. The comments on the
paseages rea.d, which centred on "Wis-
dom" were made by Les. Clark.
Mr. Hall was then introduced, and
in presenting his subject, he pointecl
out, that it was most advantageous
to the it to have "Calendar Rea
form." Supporting his argument, he
showed how Anniversaries, Domestic
Days and National Holidays woeld be
safeguarded in the new plans. Every
month would be made :up of 28 days,
with one day set aside each year as
art International Holiday, and with
lia.eap Year, every fourth year. In this
case •each month would begin with
Sunday and end with Saturday, which
would be another advantage. One of,
the greatest. advantages derived from
this new reform, would be in having
a fixed Easter,
At the conclusion of the address,
Miss McPherson, on behalf of the...sea-
ciety, expressed her appreciation- to
Mr. Hall, for such a splendid steWect.
Refreshments were then served and.
the meeting dismissed with thtt,bene-
