18 THE ASHBURIAN On January 6th, the club met again to discuss a motion for the disposal of the Canadian Merchant Aiarine. Since the last meeting, Mr. Belcher had found himself unable to carry on in charge, and Mr. Drayton had taken over. The motion was carried. It had been planned to have a debate against B.C.S. on March 5 and Ashbury was to have carried the negative end of a motion resolving that: the election of a Socialist Government in Canada would be a national disaster . Unfortunately, however, the epidemic of mumps at the school made necessary the indefinite postponement of the debate. Better luck next year! THE POETRY READING CONTEST THIS year marked the commencement of annual poetry reading contests at Ashbury College. It is a welcome innovation and offers wonderful training for those that are concerned. The com- petition was held in the chapel, and the number of entries gave evidence of the students ' interest. Mr. Drayton convened the contest and was the moving spirit responsible for its inception. It was through him also that we were fortunate enough to have Professor Edinborough of Queen ' s University as our adjudicator. Being the assistant professor of English at Queens, he was more than qualified for the position. To adjudicate any type of competition is a difficult task at any time, but Professor Edinborough made wise and popular decisions in choosing Pierre Langevin and Alex Urbanowicz as the leading Seniors, in first and second positions respectively. John Hutchison and Geoffrey Carne tied for the leadership of the Intermediate Class, and Stephen Woollcombe was second. Mr. Drayton deserves the appreciation of the school for his un- selfish work which made the contest possible and it is the hope of The Ashburian that future competitions will be as successful.
