Empire Day Observed At Local Public Schools To maintain pride and faitb in Canada and the Empire, May 23 was observed in the public schools through a special Empire Day program. So that all pupils might take a part, a special book- let was issued under authority of Hon. George Drew, Premier and lvinister o! Education, outlining the procedure to be followed. The program opened with the singing o! The Maple Leaf, fol- lowed by responsive readings. Teachers and pupils alternated in telling how Canada and the Em- pire rose to the challenge o! the aggressor nations and the valiant part played by the armed ser- vices on land, sea and in the air to, maintain freedom. Realistic stories were read tell- ing o! individual actions follow- ed by national and militant songs and recitations and with pupils Beautiful "NAwington", Kingston Now C.W.A.C.
