his duties there, and work as chap lain. Briefly he summed it up, that the Catholic church is the same everywhere, in whatever location or corner of the world, no matter how remote you will find the Catholic priest and church.
 Father LeRoy opened his talk with a description of the location of Jamaica in relation to this country and the surrounding islands. He stated that there are two baSaS at Kingston, Army and Navy, and there are seven Jesuit auxiliary chaplains in the area. The popula- tion is well over a million in this crown colony. There are 60 Amer ican Jesuits located there and four orders of nuns including an order of native nuns. also leper colony in charge of Marist Sisters. There are many Catholic schools, also sev- eral private academies. In Jamaica, he said, there were 50,000 Catholics, the rest of the population mainly Anglicans, also several other Pro- testant denominations all congenial with one another their churches numbering about 150 with 75 Cath olic churches scattered over the island. Father LeRoy described the natural scenery, the pursuits and habits and his pictures gave fine idea of the island in this respect, it's mountainous sections and lovely coast.
 His duties as chaplain he said took him to the boats that enter the harbor there and he stated he cele- brated the first Mass on the North Carolina when it entered Kingston harbor. The meeting was attended by one of the largest groups of the season, all enjoying the colorful pie lures and entertaining and informa- tive talk by Father LeRoy.
 Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick presided at the meeting and praised the wo- men of the council for their work during the membership drive, which commendation was repeated by Rev. Eugene F. Cryne, director
