many visitors on Sunday, November 29 (the Field Day) could well observe is the row of pines on the entrance road. These pines formerly extended down to Cambridge - street. They were planted and hand wagered through their early stages by Sister Malachy in 1906. Progress and land resumption have brought the number of pines down, but the spirit behind the job is indicative of the whole Order's work in the two institutions.
Sunday, November 29, is Field Day at St. Joseph's Orphanage and St. Vincent's Foundling Home place full of human interest stories that could be multiplied by the number of children and the Sisters who work there. People are invited to share this work and the interest of the orphans and foundlings on the Field Day.
Rodney and Rex have sisters and brothers at St. Francis Xavier Mission at Wandering and they will join them there when they grow older and thus the family will be brought together eventually. There are quite a few native children at St. Vincent's, since there is no other place for tiny babes to go to. A lot were in ill health when they arrived, but now sickness is rare amongst them.
Early History The total number of children present in both St. Joseph's Orphanage and St. Vincent's Foundling Home is 170. A brief history of the institutions is as follows.St. Joseph's has been going for 59 years rendering service to orphans and foundlings. St. Vincent's as a home "started foundling years later, in 1914. Prior to this, in 1872, there was a boys' orphanage which was taken over by
the Christian Brothers. When the Brothers opened Clontarf in 1901, the Sisters moved back from Victoria square and re -occupied their
present site. From the days of their inception both institutes have
been kept busy, rarely having more than a few vacancies at any time. Some of the Sisters who have laboured for the love of God have given many years to this particular work. The late Mother M. Teresa was at the orphanage for 31 years. Her predecessor, the the late Mother M. Claver, 32 years. The present Reverend Mother has been at St. Joseph's for nine years. A point of interest to those who frequent the Orphanage and Foundling Home and one which the
Sustained attendance over six nights and lively participation were features of this first regional conference of its kind conducted by the Catholic Social Movement. Speaking during the closing session on Nov. 10, the Rev.. C. Stinson, parish priest of Osborne Park, said that he had rarely if ever seen such an attentive class of pupils as those who were present. It had become obvious through the discussions and lectures, he said, that married people had many problems to face up to and wanted an opportunity to air them and find solutions for them.

most of the churches in the Vicariate of Kimberley. On October 1 she left Broome with a companion
Sister for hospital treatment at St. John's, Subiaco. The M.V. Koolama met rough weather outside Pt. Hedland and Sister was badly affected by it. She was taken to St. John's, Geraldton, where she died on Friday, October 9.
The Sisters of the Kimberleys have lost a zealous, ardent workers and enthusiastic supporter of their Province. For her, of course, it is the garnering of the "hundredfold." May she rest in peace.

Tale Of Aboriginal Twins Recalls 60 Earnest Years
The twins Rodney and Rex (pictured) have been at St. Vincent's Foundling Home since they were less than a fortnight old. They belong to a good aborigine family whose mother is quite ill. Both were born prematurely, one 2 lbs and a few ounces, the other 4 lbs. odd. The only place where they could have been placed at that time was a non-Catholic mission in the North, but the mother wanted them to be cared for by the Sisters.

There were many problems concerned with the rearing and upbringing of children and with the personal relations between husband and wife that were
qtten shirked, mainly through ignorance or embarrassment.
The Confessional did not always provide sufficient opportunity for their discussion. He said that the conference had been an outstanding success and he hoped that it would be the forerunner of many others. The benefit of such conferences were great especially for young married couples in the early years of marriage. After the final session had closed many of the participants expressed favourable opinions. Mrs. L. Smith, of Glenda lough, said: "I think the conference was a success and quite beneficial." Mr. N. A. Gaulard, father of five children, said that he would be very interested in attending the next conference conducted by the Social Movement. Couples were prompted to bring to light practical problems through group discussions which were conducted on the main subjects
treated.
This ensured that the speakers dealt with matters of direct interest to people in the audience. A popular feature was the special devotions in the parish church during the second week at which huSbands and wives recited special marriage prayers and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given. Speakers during the conference were the Rev. J. Chauncey, Dr. G. Sparrow, the Rev. J. O'Brien, Mr. W. J. Mangini the Rev. F. J. Dillon and Dr. M. Connaughton. A dramatised version of sex instruction being given by parents to children was played with an accompanying ci.mmentary. The children of parents who took part were entertained by T.V. through the co-operation of Mr. J. Gaynor of Thomson's Ltd. (Extracts from the various papers will be published next week).

Damage
Inferred In the reorganisation of "The Record," for its overall control and for economic reasons. His Grace the Archbishop, as owner, has appointed Reverend Francis Dillon as Manager and Editor. This reorganisation imputes no damage to the professional reputation of Mr. K. Spruhan, whose name has appeared as the Editor over many years. "The Record" is now fully covered by Industrial Agreements which gives conditions of work and higher wages to 'all of its journalistic staff.

Schools Asked To Complete
Survey For Valid Research Dr. Radford, Director of the Australian Council of Educational Research has asked that a reminder be given to raholic schools concerning a current s vey of school-leavers. The first return for the April -September period
was due in October, and relatively few schools made this return. It would be appreciated if the return be made by all schools approached, as a poverty of returns would tend to invalidate the research.
