Entomological Society of Ontario 



DIAMOND JUBILEE MEETING 



The Diamond Jubilee Meeting of the Entomological Society of Ontario 

 was held in Ottawa on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 1st, 2nd, 

 and 3rd, 1923. 



The morning and afternoon meetings were held in the exhibition room of 

 the Dominion Entomological Branch. The Thursday evening meeting was 

 held in the assembly hall of the Normal School, when Dr. A. F. Burgess delivered 

 the public address on "The Value of Natural Enemies of Injurious Insects." 

 On Friday evening the members and visitors met at dinner in the University 

 Club. After dinner the gathering was addressed by Mr. J. A. Ruddick, of the 

 Dominion Department of Agriculture, and Mr. Morris delivered the presidential 

 address: "Nature's Clairvoyant; a Study of W. H. Hudson." A short paper 

 from Dr. Bethune, entitled "The Early Days of the Entomological Society of 

 Ontario," was read by Mr. Gibson. An interesting feature of the meeting was 

 the visit to the Parliament Buildings and Central Experimental Farm on 

 Saturday morning. During the meeting motion picture films entitled "Where 

 the Moose Runs Loose," "A New Yorker's Canadian Week-end," and "The 

 European Corn Borer," were shown through the kindness of the National Parks 

 Branch, Department of Interior, the Motion Picture Branch, Department of 

 Trade and Commerce, and the Provincial Motion Picture Bureau. 



The meetings were very well attended by members of the society and 

 visitors and were highly successful. Much credit must be given to the local 

 committee in charge for the splendid arrangements made for the convenience 

 and entertainment of visiting members. 



The officers for the year 1923-24 were elected as follows: President, Dr. 

 J. M. Swaine; Vice-President, Mr. R. C. Treherne; Director of District No. 1, 

 Mr. C. B. Hutchings. The remaining officers were re-elected. 



A. W. Baker, Secretary.
