community necessitates major split in province Salesian's secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Conner, and her assistant, Mrs. Anne Arnold, have worked together in the schoolis office for a good many years. Their acceptance of numerous responsibilities is greatly appreciated by the entire school. Since its founding in 1903, the American Province of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales have flourished without pause to a point far surpassing the hopes of its forefathers. Now, in 1966, a new chapter has been initiated into the Oblates' history. The old American Province, formerly under the direction of the Very Reverend John Conmy, O.S.F.S., has been divided into an Eastern and a Western Province. The Eastern, or Wilmington-Philadelphia Province, under Father Conmyis guidance, includes all the Oblate communities located in the Archdioceses of New Orleans, Washington and Philadelphia and the dioceses of Allentown, Harrisburg, Raleigh, Richmond and Wilmington. The Western, or Toledo-Detroit Province, headed by the Very Reverend William Ward, 0.S.F.S., includes all Oblate communities of the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Dioceses of Buffalo, Erie, Lansing, Oklahoma City - Tulsa, Salt Lake City and Toledo. With the adoption of this divided labor system, it is hoped that the Oblates will be able to extend their activities throughout a greater part of the United States.
