Says Dominion of Canada Or Canada the Same

OTTAWA (CP)e-"Dominion of Canada" or just plain "Canada" is all the same. Prime Minister St. Laurent said Monday. ' He said the expression "Domin- ion of Canada." used for more than ll) years. is certanly not irn-' proper. But the name given the constitution to this country is simply "Canada," he added.

Mr. St. Laurent said the prov- inces werc united in Confedera- tion into an entity called a dom- inion and the name given to that entity was Canada.

Some had felt the word domin- ion implied a principle that Can- ada was under the dominion of another country but that idea had fallen into disuse.

Mr. St. Laurent was replying in the Commons to questions by John T” ' L ' (PC-Prince Albert) who noted that a resolution deal- ing with CNR financing included the words "Dominion of Canada."

Mr. Diefenbaker said there has been a tendency in government legislation to let the word domin- ion fall into disuse. The word had been eliminated from some stat- utes but retained in others.

Col. Storey paid warm tribute to His Honour the Lieutenant Gov- ernor and to the Premier who he said gave willingly of their time and office to make each of the events successful. He had special praise for Mayor Stewart who along with running his business and the affairs of the City has seen fit to be present at every oc- casion of celebration. "it is in- deed a heavy load that we have thrust upon him." said Colonel Storey.

BAND IN ATTENDANCE

Adding much to the glamour of last evening's celebration was the appearance of the Reece Band which played appropriate numbers. including "Happy Birthday" when the switch was thrown by Mr. Golden, lighting the cake. Town Crier Ivan Doherty was most im- pressive in his authentic and ancient costume as he read the proclamation declaring the Cen- tennial Celebrations begun and the intention of the Mayor to pre- sent the distinguished visitor. Mr. Golden. with the Key to the City. City Clerk James A. Fullerton gave the key to His Worship who in turn hung it over the head of the official of Rotary.

"I heartily concur in the re- marks of the Lleut.-Governor and his reference to the welcome you may expect from the people of this Province. I thank the Chair- man for his kind remarks touch- ing oa what I accomplished when Minister of Health and Welfare and take this opportunity to pay tribute to Rotary for the splendid work they have done over a long period of time in the interest of crippled and underprivileged chu- dren.

"We in the Government." he said, are truly grateful for life work done by usgIIll1ILl which give leadership in such matters and make it easier for us to ad- vance our objectives in the in- terest of those in need.

"I hope that your period of friendship and fellowship here will be most enjoyable and that your deliberations will be crown- ed with success. Your return here in the not far distant future. will be looked forward to," the Pre- mier concluded.

MAYOR STEWART

His Worshb Mayer J. D. Stew- art in his address of i said:

"It is indeed a signal honor for me. as Mayor of the City. to be here this morning to welcome. on behalf of my Council. our Cen- tennial Committee and all Char- loltetonlnns. you Rotarlans and Rotary Aims. and to congratulate you on the son: anniversary of Rotary.

"We feel highly honored that you have made Ci-ulottetown, this particular year. your Con- vention City. significant is the fact that we are both celebrating anniversaries.

"1 think every member of Ra- tary has, at one time or another. been asked what is meant by Rotary. To those thus inquiring. the an . I assume. would be in effect "The Rotary Club is a group of business and professional men who meet each week to an- Joy the companionship of each other and through their organisa- tion and carry out a number of activities for the benefit of the unfortunate a nd classes of our citizens." if I were asked what

KEY OF CITY

Following the traditional an- nouncement by the Town Crier. in his habilimenta of years gone bye. Mayor Stewart directed that the City Clerk convey the Key of the City to the stage. which was done under escort of two police officers in while helmets and gloves.

The party was piped in their positions by the Mayor's personal piper. Barry MacGillivray.

"The Key of the City" was then presented to District Governor Allan MacDonald by Mayor Stew- art on behalf of the City as a momenta of "Your Anniversary and ours." .

Dr. Hal Shaw. President of the Charlottetown Club in extending the welcome of the Host Club. rxpressed gratitude to Governor MacDonald for bringing the con- vr-ntion here as a gesture of good will on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of Charlottetown.

Although most of us appre- ciale our home auuOllIldlIlgS and are proud of them," he said, "when we set foot on beautiful Prince Edward island we are humble. and find many things that are native to you which are lacking in other places, more particularly the stability of your people."

DISTRICT GOVERNOR

District Governor MacDonald in his annual report dwelt in detail on the faithful co-operation and support he had received from the officers and members of the fifty clubs in the District. He visited each of them in turn officially and found all in a highly pleasing state of activity in the various phases of Rotary life. making a worth-while contribution to the life of the community in which they are situated.

Touching on the Rotary Fellow- ship Foundation. he said that 700 students have been granted as- sistance under the grants created since 1947.

Neil J. Littlefield of Calais. lllaine. has been granted a fellow- ship by Rotary International which will enable him to study in Aus- tralia as a representative from this district. There are 2l65 mem- bers in the 50 clubs in the dis- frict.

Rev. Canon J. T. Ihbott con- ducted a brief memorial service for Rotarians who have passed on since the last conference. Past District Governor and National Directors specially referred to were Percy W. Turner of Char lottetown and Charles Hunt. Q.C.. C.B.E..

LUNCHEON Will R. Bird. Lift .D.. noted writer and lecturer. was gucsi

spe ' at the luncheon meeting at the Charlottetown Hotel pre- sided over by Past District Gov- ernor Edwin Johnsione. Dr. Bird gave a vivid and highly interest- ing revlew of his experiences In many parts of the British Isles and Europe in keeping his eyes open for "oddities."

His talk was humorous in the extreme and as be related in- cident alter incident. his audience was kept in a state of hilarious laughter.

One unforgetablc oddity which deeply impressed Dr. Bird was found in a visit to Pompeii which was buried in lava and ashes 22 feet deep in A.D. 76. Excavations there showed one way slrecis, beauty parlors, lights. marble bathrooms in every home and in the Kings dining room, seating for 600.

"My whole trip was a wonder- ful experience and I assure you that if one keeps watch for the unusual. much enjoyment will at- tend the venture in search of oddities."

Frank Curtis, the incoming pres- ident of Charlottetown Rotary. thanked the speaker for'the grace and charm which marked him as an after-dinner speaker of rare ability. "You will be considerably gratified to know I have enjoyed

Dr. J. Harold Shaw presided in dining room "A" and Darrell Mc- Gulre performed a similar duty in "B" at the banquet in the Charlottetown Hotel at 8:30. Dr. A. E. Kerr. President Dalhousie University. Halifax. N. S.. was guest speaker. The head fable guests were piped in by George Fraser.

Dr. Kerr in addressing the as- sembly on "Canada" touched on the close relations between Cape Breton and P. E. Island down through the years. "Cape Breton is no longer an Island and P. E. Island is left alone in unchal- lengcd glory as The island" while Cape Breton, although its Island status has been compromised. will still retain its position as the Royal Island'. No body of people understands us better than this sister Island." the speaker said, as he referred to his birthplace. Louisburg. Cape Breton. "We gladly celebrate with you the anniversary of Charlottetown."
