credit of president Mungall and; his committee who originated thej project and carried the plan through to completion.

Adding further to the credit of the committee headed by Mr. Mun- gall was a display on the stage he- hind -the head table. depicting the products of many Island enter- prises and which brought forth many congratulatory comments from the members of the board.

Mr. Gaudet said that behind the gtlllf3I'&l idea was the thought of giving thanks to God for the many blessings enjoyed by the city dur- ing the past hundred years. An- other objective, he said. was to hiring home to the children the history and background of Char- Iottetown, to make stronger and build up civic pride in the city by finding out through parades. pag- ezints and other educational aven- ui-s many things about Charlotte- town not known previously.

Pipe Major l-larold Sutherland from Westviile, N. S. gave an out- standing exhibition of piping and convinced his hearers that the many honours heaped upon him on other occasi-us were genuinely de- served. The former boy champion oi Canada and grand champion piper at St. Anns Highland games last year rendered selections which, brought round after round of ap- plause.

A square dance by the pupils of the Model Scho0l.wlth their youth- ful caller. LeR.oy Barnett were well received in two numbers. A number which won the hearts of the" large crowd was the Highland fling by a little blonde flve-year- old. Mary Bernard. Messrs. Pres- ton Beck. Lloyd Archer. Milton Stewart and Allison MacRae gave a very acceptable rendition of "Ye Banks and Braes of Bonny Doon" gudnfor an encore sang "Billy

OY .

Mr. Charles Craig was hails from Glasgow, Scotland, was heard in impersonation of Sir Harry Lauder and the applause received indicated the degree to which it was appreciated. The Glengsrry dancers were seen in two beauti- ful dances which were very well received. as was the old-time fid- dling ol Jack Webster who was heartily encored. The pipers for the various dancing number. were Mr. Bruce MacLaren, Pipe Major Sutherland and George Fraser Jr.

A delightful number of the eve- lllnE's program was the dancing of two little Fraser girls who were accompanied by their brother George on the pipes. Little Evelyn and Heather Fraser found a.wsrm spot in the hearts of the audience for their splendid performance. It was a unique sight to see three members of the same family. ages 8. 10 and 18 being able to perform so creditably.

Opening the program were some stirring pipe selections by Pipe Major Albert Maclleod and the Charlottetown Pipe Band. This accomplished band was heard also during the intermission. 'An ap- propriate finale for such a fine concert was the singing of two Scottish numbers by the Zion mixed quartette consisting of John MscLeod. George MacDonald. Mrs. Reagb Sudsbury and Mrs. Allison MacDonald. They sang "Flow Gently Sweet Afton" and "Comin' Through the Rye".

At the conclusion of the concert Mr. Walter Shaw on behalf of the Men's Association of Zion Church. rnngratulated the performers and lliaiiked them sincerely for the SWINE of their talents. The con- cert was brought to a close by the

Edward Island producm lined by Mr Gaudet who said that

Mr. John Mungall

already there are 30 conventions slated to be held in the city dur- ing the comin summer.

He said that he felt that the cen- tennial celebration would benefit not only Charlottetown but the whole Province by bringing a large number of new tourists. as well as those who have been com- ing as visitors for some years. tourists who will continue to come again year after year.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

In moving a vote of thanks to the speaker, Mr. J. Frank Arnett said it was a unique experience to have enjoyed such a meal made up entirely of Island products and congratulated the committee in charge for the ingenuity and ori- ginality of the idea.

The Hon. Eugene Cullen. Min- ister of Industry and Natural Re- sources, was present last night and brought a message from Prem- ier Matheson expressing first his regrets at being unable to be pres- ent, but conveying his deep inter- est in the project of a banquet made up of Island products, and expressing his sentiment that this was a step in the right direction.

I-Ion. Mr. Cullen spoke briefly on the value of displays as an ad- vertising medium for Prince Ed- ward Island produce.

Others who spoke briefly were Mr. Alan Holman. president of the Maritime Board of Trade; Mr. Keith MacKlnnon. president of the Charlottetown Board of Trade; His Worship Mayor Henry W. Wedge.

Retiring president Hayward turn- ed the meeting over to the new president. Mr. Mungall, who ex- pressed his thanks for the honor bestowed on him and paid tribute to the splendid work of his prede- cessor during the past year. -5.

tinued in Korea.

"We thought then. and we think now, that the final disposition of Formosa should be a subject to be discussed at a conference on Far Eastern problems which at that time we thought might be held af- ter the cessation of fighting in Korea. That was the view adopted by the political committee of the United Nations General Assembly on Jan. 13. 1951.

FAB EASTERN NEGOTIATIONS

”Despite the developments since then. it remains the view of the Government that the final disposi- tion of ldnrmosa should be dealt with on Far Eastern negotiations. if one could be held.

licertainly. in any decision re- garding the future of Formosa the wishes of the people there. which are often forgotten in discussions of this matter. should be a prun- ary consideration. Pending such a decision I think that a strong case can be made for the neutraliza- tion of Formosa both in order to prevent any assault upon it by Communist forces and also so that it will not be used as a base for invasion of the mainland.

"In this area of tension and danger a distinction can validlybe made between the position of For- mosa snd the Pescadores and the islands off the China coast now in Nationalist bands. The latter are indisputably part of the territory of China; the former, Formosa and the Pescadoren, which were Japanese colonies for 50 years prior to 1945 and had bad a check- ered history before that, are not.

"I suggest therefore that the considerations which recommend the neutralization of Formosa and the Pescadores do not necessarily apply to the coastal islands so close to the mainland and about 100 miles away from Formosa.

"Therefore. Mr. Speaker. I wel- come that part of the President's message which looks to the re- deployment of the Nationalist for- ces which now are in these is- lands. Some of these forces." the President's message states. "are scattered throughout smaller off- shore islands as a result of histor- ical rather than military reasons directly related to defending For- mosa."

BASES OF TRUCE

"My understanding of the basis of a truce or cease fire is that

m neither the Nationalists. the Gov-

ernment of China which we recog- nize. nor the Communists need be asked to give up their claims on the territory now held by the other side. What they would be asked to give up of course is the use of military means to achieve their aspirations.

"In other words. negotiations for

a cease fire need not involre any question of the final disposition of the territory in dispute; for in our view this is a suitable matter for international negotiation at a later date through the United Nations or otherwise. "I am sure this house will par- ticularly welcome the closing par- sgrspb of the President's message which is as follows:

"Our purpose is peace. That peace will be served if we demon- strate our unity and our determi- nation. In all that we do we shall remain faithful to our obligations as a member of the United Nations to be ready to settle our interna- tional disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that interna- tional peace and security, and justice, are not endangered."

Revise Decision On Registration

-The Summerside Athletic As- sociation has reversed its decision regarding registering of minor hoc- key teams in the town. Brig. Bill Reid. Island Physical Fitness dir- ector. asked the Association to re- consider its ”eclslon to stay out of the play-offs. and assured secretary Jim Hogan that only the teams. and not the players' names would have to registered right away. so the executive was contacted and agreed unanimously that it was better to

'Hearings Continue Before Magistrate

-The preliminary hearing of Leonard Philip Thibeau, of Ken- sington. charged with breaking. entering and theft from MacKen- zie's store in Kensington on the night of December 28th. was con- cluded in County Magistrate's Court yesterday. Magistrate R. S. Hinton, Q.C., presiding.

This is the first of three charges facing Thibeau and John Edward Murphy of Freetown. who are also accused of theft from Auld's store in Freetown on January 6th and with escaping from the Prince County Jail. January 5th.

The first witness called by the Crown was Mr. G. L. MecKenzle. proprietor of the store. who told of being called back to the store around midnight December 28th in order to give a neighbor some gas for his car.

He said on entering the 'hulld- ing, he noticed a side-door win- dow had been broken and also. on checking. found some money was missing from the cash register. The witness said a check-up the next day revealed approximately 320.00 dollars was missing from the cash register and that s car- ion of Black Cat cigarettes had also been taken.

The next witness. Mr. Scott Reeves of Kensington told the court that Thibeau and Murphy visited his home twice during the early evening of December 28th. after Murphy had been there in company with another man about mid-afternoon. He also stated that Thibeau and Murphy left his house around ten o'clock (P.M.) and that Murphy returned alone, between eleven and twelve that night. at which time he had in his posses- sion some Black Cat cigarettes and a sum of money. The witness told the court that earlier that evening Murphy had no money or cigarettes. He also stated that Murphy gave him two packages of Black Cat cigarettes shortly after he returned alone.

Cst. D.F. Gutteridge of the Sum- merslde detachment R.C.M.P.. who investigated the break. told of get- ting a statement on Decemberztth from Thibeau and. after checking. found it to be contradictory in re- gards to his. Thlbeau's where- abouts the night before. Dec. 28th. Cst. Gutteridge said he got anoth- er signed statement from the ac- cused the following day and this one he read to the court. In it Thibeau admitted breaking into Macl(enzie's store on the night of December 38th and taking money and cigarettes. He said his share of the money' was about ten dol- lars. The hearing was adjourned until Monday, .1 , list at 7.81 p.m.

A man from Alberton. charged under the Temperance Act with selling intoxicating liquor. pleaded guilty and was fined 8110.00 and costs. The case of a party from Borden. charged with ommon ss- seult. was adjourned for trial un- til Tuesday. February int.
