By FERN RICH LONDON lReuters) - George Bernard Shaw was hailed as poli- tician, actor. and playwright at the celebration here Thursday of what would have been his 100th birthday.

It was thc birthday which the ficry Irish playwright looked for- ward toand which he vowed to celebrate in person. He died six years from his goal. Instead. his praises were sung his absence by distinguished politicians. actors and writers at a special luncheon. Actress Wend y Hiller, who played Eliza Doolittle in Pygmal- ion, the first movie version of Shaw's play, placed a plaque un- dcr I mulberry tree which Shaw planted in 1936. .. Former Labor Prime Minister Earl Attlee, in proposing the toast at the luncheon. called Shaw a "star in the flrmament" of his

PEI Position

Following is the Hansard report of the address by Mr. J. Ansul MacLean, Progressive Conservat- ive member for Queens, in the House of Commons on July 25 on the new federal tax sharing 979 posais. '

I rise only to speak to this am- endment because, up to this point so far as I know, no voice has been raised from my Province re- garding this lzgislation. The con- clusion might be erroneously drawn, therefore, that Prince Ed- ward Island is satisfied with the agreement.

We believe that there are two problems which this agreement tries to meet. One is a fair divi-

sion of the tax resources of tho - country between the central gov- ” ernment on the one hand and the

provinces on the other. We feel

UNDERMINED THE WALLS "To those of us who were en- gaged in attacking the very pow- erful fortress of Vlctorianism and capitalism. Shaw was a man who was all the time undermining the walls. He affected a whole gener- ation to such I extent that he set us to thinking and revising our views."

Dame Sybil Thorndike, one of Britain's great actresses, told the gathering that Shaw "was an ac- tor. He could out-act every one of

US . . .

In the spirit of a revival meet- ing. U.S. playwright Elmer Rico then got up to confess the impact Shaw had had on him. He ex- plained how he grew up in a house- hold in which there were no books and how, in the New York Public Library. he finally discovered Shaw.

"It was the most revolutionary thing that ever happened to me. For one thing, I became a social- ist-I still am, I think - perhaps with a few reservations." SOVIET KUDOS Rice said Shaw ranks as one ol the two "greatest dramatists of our age." The other is Chekov.

Places had been set for Amer- ican playwright Arthur Miller "and friend," but Miller cancelled his ticket at the last minute, pleading that his wife, Marilyn Monroe, was working.

Russian ambassado J I c ob Malik was another invited guest who didn't come. He had flown to attend a meeting in Moscow.

But Russian Charge d'Afl'aires Aleski Roschchin attended and read a message from Soviet writ- ers. Shaw's "great contribution to your English) literature provides a close connection between Eng- land and the U.S.S.R." the mes- sage said.

Will Reopen Bci ptisi Church

At Fairview

On Sunday July Nth momlng, afternoon and evening services will mark the reopening of the Fair- view Baptist Church for Divine worship, and new furnishings will be dedicated. Guest preachers for the occasion will be Rev. M.0. Brlnton, United Baptist Bible Training School, Moncton, N.B., and Rev. Keith Hobson, pastor of United Baptist Church, Summer- side.

A year ago I foundation was laid on a new site and the church building moved. In the time that has elapsed additions have been made and renovations completed. . The Fairview Baptist Church was started in the home of Dea- con Willlam Neiile, where large numbers of people gathered for Worship and Sunday School. These gatherings were led by Rever- cnds D.G. MacDonald and Mr. Woodland, ministers of the Char- lnttciown Baptist Church. The con- struct'on of a building was begun. Rev. Spiirr became the first pastor of the Church after its or- izanization in 1880. During his min- Iislry the building was completed and opened for worship.

From its inception in 1924 the Fairview Church was 3 put of the Cavendish circuit of Baptist Churches and had as Its pastors: Llc. C.M. Jackson. Rev. A.C. Hoop- er. Rev. C.P. Wilson, Rev. J.G.

that iliis legislation does not go far enough towards meeting the needs of the provinces. As I mat-

1 ter of fact, therc seems to be re-

luctance on the part of the cent- ral gnvernment to admit that the provinces have any rights. 0! rights to the cxtent the provinces believe they have in any case. As a matter of fact some of the prov- Inces believe the central govern- ment is trying to sell them I ride on their own horse.

When the colonies which now form Canada came together. the Fathers of Confederation believed a reasonable division of tax re-

nceds of the central government on the one hand and the provinces on the other. As I have already said, that is one of the purposes of this legislation, to bring that division up to date.

INJUSTICES

There is another problem which this legislation should meet. It should try to remove the injusticc which is the lot of some provinces as compared to others in that they have not been favoured to an equal extent by Confederation.

We in the Maritimes feel that we have contributed greatly to the success of Confederation general- ly, and that we have not benefited in proportion over the years. The governments of the Maritime Pro- vinces, and that of Prince Edward Island in particular. have striven to piil forward their just claims in that regard and have met with varying success throughout the years.

On one occasion the then Min istcr of Finance said, and I quote from Sir Thomas While very brief-

ance in 1912.

"I have become enthusiastic ab out it, and I say that Prince Ed- ward Island from the date of union has been hardly treated. believe that her dwindling popu- lation is. to a very large extent,

deprived of the subsidies to which

the satisfaction of the House that this grant is not only justified, hut abundantly justified. I hope that a new era will dawn for the prov- incc of Prince Edward Island when it gets this enlarged subsidy."

MR. J. ANGUS MACLEAN

LAURIER'S STATEMENT I friien, the Welder 0 fthe Oppos- ition. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, had this to say: "The one reason only which has Impressed me-and it is not a con- stitutional reason, it is not a legal reason, it is simply I reason ol squity-is the fact that Prince Ed- ward Island has not profited by Confederation.” As a result of these points of view the Maritimes and Prince Edward Island perhaps in particu- lar, had these claims satisfied to some degrc Now I think the people of my Province generally feel that a lot of these relative benefits which they gained through the llfllizle over the years have, for the most part, been wiped out by these new agreements and their position relatively is not now good. In referring to the table placed on Hnnsard by the Minister of Finance (Mr. Harris) on July 16, I note that the per cent increase over the 1952 formula in total is 21.3 per cent. whereas in the case of Prince Edward Island it is mere- IY 1-? Per cent. the lowest of any province. SUPPORTS PREMIER

I believe the feeling of the people Of my Province was summed up by the Premier of our Province at one of these provincial confer- ences recently, the one an October- 3. 1955. I think the people of my Province support his point of view when he said:

Although we favour the contin- uation of the principles underlying the existing financial agreements, we feel that under the present formula we are not receiving a fair or adequate share. Our sub- mission will indicate the necessity of and the right to substantially increased federal assistance for the public services which the Prov- ince has undertaken, and in many cases pursuant to policies promot- ed by the federal government, which we were obliged to adopt."

I therefore think, Mr. Speake , that very serious consideration Should be given by the federal government to changes in the proposed legislation at the first op- portunity which would bring back to their previous focus the claims of the Maritime Provinces and of Prince Edward Island in particu- lar. I support the amendment and the purpose for which it was moved. namely. that an opport- unity might be given for further

onsideraiion between the federal government on the one hand and the provinces on the other.

PRESBYTERY CHAIRMAN

The meeting was presided over by Rev. S.H. I-Iasiam, chairman of the Prince Edward Island Pru- bytery of the United Church. The host minister was Rev. Allison Haley who incidentally is serving in his first charge It Cavondlgh,

Rev. John Witzel of Mount Ham- ilton United Church brought greet, lngs from the Hamilton Confor- ence. Rev. Dr. II.E.D. Ashford, General Secretary of the Mission- ary Ind Maintenance Fund of the Church brought greetings from his Department. Dr. Ashford and Rev. Mr. Witzel are visiting on the Island during this summer.

Mr. Wltsel referred to Dr. Ali. 39'" OHM-Indlnl achievement in

as-rs E "E4: tile .5 E E

woiiderful thing to be born in ca Edward Ialllld because wliereverl go I meet so many won. derful people who pin. from there."

HOME INFLUENCE

The M. and M. secretary said it was no accident that Dr. Alt. ken had achieved the prominence he had in the church. Any home that can send two of its sons into the Christian ministry mun be . wonderful home," he said. (Dr, Aitken's brother Edward is I min- ister in New Brunswick.)

A very pleasing feature of the eVenlllg.WaS the inspiring song leadership given by Mrs. Lorne Lea. a visitor roin Frorlda. Mrs. Lea led the people in the singing of some well known hymns of the church and later sang with feet. ins. "1 Walked Today Where Jesus Walked.' Mr. Lea provided accompaniment for his VH9: 511181113. Rev. W. A. Patterson of GWFEECOWII. I former minister of the Charge read the scripture. Rev. Howard Christie of Trinity Church led in prayer.

DEEPLY MOVED

Dr. Aitken said he was moved to the dept: of his heart by the generosity shown by the people of Prince Edward Island. He paid tribute to the lay men and lay women of the province whom he described as people of vision and dedication with a far reaching desire to be of service.

Speaking to the host minister, Mr. Haley. Dr. Aitken said be trusted that God's richest bless- lng would rest upon him as he came to labor in I congregation which is so steeped in tradition as Cavendish.

Dr. Aitken said: "If I had my life to live over again. I would devote it to the Christian Minis- try. I can think of no other vo- cation tliat offers such a chal- lenge to youth or permits such wide avenues of service."

GREATEST NEED

"The greatest need in Canada tonight is for young men and young women to come forward and offer themselves in the full time service of the church." said Dr. Aitken. "There are congre- gations vacant with no leader to proclaim the unsearchable riches of Christ."

In referring to the great lead- ers who had proceeded him Cavendish. Dr. Aitken recalled John Geddle who was the first Presbyterian missionary to leave Prince Edward Island. To Dr. Bon- nel who was his immediate prede- cessor and who he said had been I great influence on his life. He also spoke feellngly of Rev. John Stirling who once occupied the pul- pit.

MOTHER'S INFLUENCE

Dr. Aitken however made it clear to all present that the per- son who exerted the greatest in- fluence on his life was his mother. "Without her I would never have been where I am today," he said. He also paid tribute to his wife whom he said had been I constant source of strength throughout his ministry.
