Dr. Steel said his associations with the students had been very satisfactory and that the student may generally had conducted it- sal in a very proper manner. The speaker referred to certain students who had been forced by severe colds and measles to leave ofl‘ writlnd final examinations. Such students had been rated ac- wrdihg to the examinations they had written previously and had been granted certificates. This was not an unprecedented action, he explained. but had been done on a. number of former occasions. He made special mention of one par- ticular student who made sufficient marks at Christmas and Easter examinations to get a certificate.

During his remarks Dr. Steel an- nounced that as a tribute to the memory of the late Principal the B. N. Robertson prize_ had been created. a perpetual prize going to the student standing highest in the language work of the 4th year. This was a part oi the course in which the late Doctor was greatly interested. It was won for the first time by Miss Vera Simpson.

Reference was made also to the

. H.’ B. horiIw-o rth. ' prize, which is awarded the student standing highest in the two chain- istry courses in ‘the 1th year. This was won for the first time by Mr. George Dewar.

Before concluding his remarks Dr. Steel announced that a teacher training course for those seeking teachers’ licenses would open Mon- day. On the same day. too, would open courses for those desirous of improving their standing in certain subjects before proceeding with the work oi the next year.

Hon. Mark R. McGuigan. Prince Edward Island Minister oi Educa- tion and Public Health, presided and made a brief cpciviiig address. The valodictory was read by George Dewar.

Other Speakers were, Premier Thane Campbell and Mr. H. l-i. Shaw. chief superintendent oi edu- cation. Hon. W. H. Dennis, minis- ter of agriculture Mayor EA Fos- icr and C. H. B. Longworth, presi- dent oi the Alumni Association. were among those on the platform.

Premier Campbell in his address congratulated the students," and then went on to refer to the fact that last year both the Lieutenant Governor. the Minister of Educa- tion and the Chief Superintendent oi Education had been attending the Coronation at the time of the Prince ci Wales College Com- mencement and that he had had to take the place oi all three.

Discussing briefly general educa-

.tion as opposed to the vocational

education the speaker remarked that it would do no harm to any to take a general course of study.

Prime MIIIISIM‘ MacKenzie King today a/niioimeed the Governmen had decided to acquire complete ow- nership oi the bank and to take over the 100.070 shares now in the hands of the public. Iegisla/tlon to this end will be introduced before the end oi the present semion.

Established In 1935

This will be the third time the Natbnal Central Bank has been the subject of legislation. It was esta- blished in i935 when the Conserva- tive Government was in office with a capital of $5.00C.000 in 100.000 shares valued at $50 each. These were offered to the public and tak- en up at their par value. Dividends on the shares were limited to 4 1-2 per cent annum and any excess profits were to become the property oi the Government.

The bank was to be operated by a governor and deputy governor apopln-ted by the Government in the first instance but after by the directors o! whom the-re were seven. elected by the shareholders.

In. the fall of 1935 a general el- action brought the Libel-as into oi- fioe and a1;- the first parliamentary session the Bank. of Canada Act was amended to give the Govern- meutapvm of a‘ minority o! the shares an a ma ity repres-

be involved in the acquisition by the Government of complete ownership. Nerwssarily all the directors, if the bank is to have a board of directors, will be Government. a izitees. The present shai-eh era Will be compensated for their stock on the basis of the average price at which the shares have sold on the market in 1938. Recently it has been quoted at $59 per share.

AKRON, 0., May 27—-(AP)—The Commlttee for Industrial Organiz- ation and American Federation of Labor, frequently bitter rivals else- where, joined tonight in tense Ak- ron to threaten a city-wide trans- ravpntation strike unless police with-

"Unles the police are withdrawn and the rights of picketing are re- stored by nightfall we will pull out our men tomorrow," T. C. Dethlofl, business agent of the A. F. of L. truck drivers joint council, warned Sheriff Walter P. O'Neil.

A similar ultimatum was deliv- ered by A. L. Calhoun. represent- ing the united transport workers. a C.I.O. union of street car and bus drivers.

There was no immediate indica- tion whether city authorities would refuse or comply with the demand. made after a Joint session of seven A.l<". of L. and seven CLO. union leaders, who met to discuss plans for resumption of mass picketing.

he leaders decided against massing men around the plants. where approximately 8.000 workers are employed. because of elaborate police precautions.
