Suez Canal. This was the opinion expressed by Kenneth ~ W. MacTaggart, Globe and Mail correspondent, in a talk to Angela Bruce Chapter, 1.0.D.E, at the chapter's monthly meeting Tuesday evening. The present Korean campaign, the speaker pointed out, provided the chaotic state Russia likes to have her statelite states create, while she herself remains technically aloof from the strife. Only when war broke out in the middle east would it be evident that Russia intended to commence hostilities. Mr. MacTaggart believed that seizure of the Suez Canal would be Russia's first attempt to cut the free world in two, dividing India and the Antipodes from Europe, and giving the Soviets a path to Africa and the continents immense resources. In celebration of the chapter's 18th anniversary, the executive entertained the members at sup- per following the meeting. The beautifully decorated birthday cake was cut by Mrs. Roy Irwin, regent. Charter members present were Mrs. Alex Tilley, first re- gent of the chapter, Mrs. E. B. Pearce, Mrs. John Maxwell, Mrs. Carlton Green, and Miss Betty Hodge.

Concert Series To Be Fall Feature The High School Home and School Association will place sea- son tickets for the 1951-52 concert series on sale to the public next week, it was decided at a meet- ing of the committee Tuesday night. Five concerts are planned for the season, and subscribers to last year's series have been offered tickets in an advance sale. Results have been surprisingly good, E. G. Bulmer chairman, stated, with a large number of subscribers requesting tickets for friends. The /five concerts are priced at $5.00, with a special student rate of $1.00 The success of the first year, and the response in the advance sale, practically insures a sell-out of the seating capacity of the high school auditorium where the concerts will be held. The com- mittee expects that the sale of tickets will be completed in a fairly short period, and is arrang- ing to have all members of the Home and School association contact local organizations im- mediately so tickets will be avail- able to their members.
