Quality milk can be produced and held on most farms where fsciliti such as an open well. boiling apr ng. or ice supply are prevalent.

Hanging Case Arouses Britain

LONDON, Jan. as -7 (AP) - Dull-witted Derek Bentley. 10. was hahgad today for a comps on'a murder of a policeman whie an

aroused Britain ci e b a. t e d the strange case that shook even Parliament.

with the shouts and screams of 500 aympnthizera milling about the Wandsworth Prison gates ringing in his ears. the child of the Lon- don biitz went to the gallows pleading "innocence o conscience."

Two youths were arrested for "insulting behavior" as police at- tempted to break up the demon- stration. ,

"Eleventh-hour pleas for mercy that reached the Queen herself failed as her cabinet adviser - Home Secretary Sir David Max- well Fyia - insisted he could not see "any sufficient ground to justify him in advising Her Ma- jesty to interfere with the due course of the law."

Clemency appeals stressed that the unarmed Bentley was captur- ed 15 ' minutes before the lfatsl shot was fired by Ch-I i ' r Craig, his 16-year-old accomplice in an abortive robbery.

Both were convicted of murder, but Craig was saved by a British law making is the legal minimum for hanging. He was given an in- determinate prison sentence.

Conviction of murder carried a mandatory death sentence in Bent- ley's case-but the jury had re- commended mercy.

Dr. James Hunter Mudoch. chief medical officer at Wandsw in Prison. testified the execution was carried out "expeditiously and hu- manely” and said:

"Bentley never me."

Even as hope faded last night. the condemned youth told his mother on her last visit to his Cell:

"I am not afraid to die because I am innocent. As long as you keep your chin up. I will keep mine up. No man's death is on my conscience. I know I did wrong in going with Chris Craig. never intended killing anyone."

The possibility of a poat-mor- tem debate in the House of Com- mons on the case still loomed to- night.

Burns Anniversary Concert Enjoyed By Large Audience

The skirl of the pipes and swish of kills dominated the situation at the Burns Anniversary concert last evening as number after num- ber was called to the stage at Prince of Wales College auditor- ium by the genial Master of Cere- monies. Mr. Walter R. Shaw.

From the entrance of Lieutenant Governor T. W. L. Prams and Mrs. Prowse, accompanied ”by Hon. Dousald MacKlnnon. repre- senting the Premier, and Mrs. Macxinnon. and His Worship, Mayor J. D. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart, who were piped to their seats, until the final curtain. the entertainment provided was of ex- ceptionai quality and worth.

The Master of Ceremonies brought to his task a fund of Scottish lore and short stories with which he entertained the audience between numbers as wall as during his opening remarks of welcome and appreciation.

Truoughout the entire enter- tainment, the young foik demon- strated .their talent In every branch, and their greatest admir- ers were their more mature bro- thers and sisters behind the foot- lights.

The popular Lads and Luaias Pipe Band led off with a vigorous number and later in the program- me were also heard in two other lively demonstrations.

The Brighton Juveniles followed in square dancing which brought out the effect of care and atten- tion to detail, under the direction of Mrs. Arthur Duvar and Doctor J. A. MacMillan.

Miss Helen Roach sang "Robin Adair" and "Coming through the lwe" the latter as a well-merited encore.

Evelyn Ma.cKinnon'a Class of young dancers then took over and piped by Miss Marg Rhynes went through the intricate figures of a Scottish reel in a most creditable manner. Later in the programme a. double Sword Dance by a. quar- tette consisting of Joyce Moxie. Ruth Ross, Eleanor, Henry and

- Norma Duvar. under the same in-

strustion. lvas executed with com- mendable precision and exactness.

Pipe Major sandy Boyd. from Scotland, who is now enjoying a brief stay in Charlottetown, thril- led the audience with an exhibit- ion of piping rarely heard in this Province, which called for an en- core which the piper kindly re- sponded to.

"a Wee Lad and Lassie” duct by Heather and Tom Burke brought smiles of appreciation from the audience and the Gaelic solo by youthful Tom which followed. was not lost on many of the audience

included in the announced contrib- utions by the Federal Governments to assist municipalities in the de- velopment and improvement of air- ports. but it is possible a grant will be made in supplementary estim- ates.

Under Federal steamship subven- tions. 3120.000 is allocated to aid the steamship service between Prince Edward island and the Magdalen Islpnds. and a further 3153.000 as a grant to assist the service between Wood Islandsland Caribou.

who "Has the Gaelic."

The versatile charlie Ohs!nber- laln. who has long been accepted as "An Islnnde " joined with the other "islanders" in adding very materially to the enjoyment of the waning. "Annie Laurie" was a natural for the occasion. which lost nothing . of its appeal to all present. when sung by Charlie. A suitable encore followed and his feuow members of the orchestra, Thomas Macxay, Cecil Malach- ern and Waldo Munro added to their laurela in several numbers.

Two ,diminutive students, Jean- nie MacMiilan and Norma How- ard, of Evelyn MiacKinnon'a Class. clad in white sailor suits. diverted from the Scottish atmosphere of the show by dancing the "Sailors Hornpipe" and an item titled "Patronella" was also executed, by a group under the same insk-uct- or, all of which was well received. Mrs. Gordon Mscuiilan was at the piano for the "Hornpipe" in a competent and understanding manner. while Mr. Bruce Monr- en piped for "Patronella", most effectively.

-Mr. L. Davis Ward sang "Shela My Daisy" and in response to an ' ' tent double encore followed with "I Love a Lassie" and "Save a Little one For Me". Mrs. Everett Holmes of Kingston was pianist for these numbers.

Pipe Major Wilfrid Burke piped I group from the Lads and Lamies through the popular "Highland Fling", This number as always. when executed by 'these talented young folk. caused much favourable comment.

Two other highly pleasing num- bers ware presented by Leona. Mar- lena and George Weatherble. This trio in tap-dancing, piano and vio- lin constitute clever entertainment which is always well received here. They were well up to standard last evening and a. violin solo by George was but further evidence of his ver- latility.

Evelyn Mooxinnon and Dick Tur- pin in Highland costume brought memories of Harry Ls.uder'as they sang the dust "RoemIn' in the Gloamin'" and as an encore. "Tor- rie On His Bonnet". a. splendid performance by two artists of prov- en merit within our local orbit.

A message of regret was receiv- ed from the Kenslngizon quartette at. being unable to appear for their number. due to the difficulties of travel, Dr. Frank Msoxinnon. Prin- cipal of Prince of Wales College a d his associates were thanked for their co-operation in making the colleg auditorium available for the concert.

The Programme Director. Mrs Arthur Roper, "banked the per- formers for their work and stated it was "'I'he most co-operative cast with which she had ever been as- sociated." She also thanked those in attendance for a capacity house. The out than assembled on-stage for "Auld Lang Sync" and "rho Queen", as a fitting conclusion.

The concert was sponsored by Zion Men's Association under Pres- ident Wendell Phlliips, with Mr. Reg, Msorlutt as chairman of the Concert Committee.

Refreshments were served to the

entertainers byvwivea of the mem- bars of the Men's Association.
