Pride in The Past Audg

mier Stcwarifs J ub- ' ilee Message

Though

regrettably from attending to business through

prevented

illness, Premier the Hon. J. D. Stewart, K.C., is keenly interested in tomorrow's anniversary event, and voices his sentiments in the foilouir", vroununication: Charlottetown, June 29.

The Siniicih Anniversary or the entry of Prince Edward Island as a Province of the Do- minion of Canada is an historic milestone, worthy of commem- oration throughout thc whole Island, Unfortunately the pres- ent economic situation renders inadvisable a Province-wide celebration at this time.

it is uvinecessa y for ms to refer to the greatness of the Canada of today, as compared to the weakness of the scat- tered Provinces prior to the Union.

l believe, however, we should be mindful of the heritage which is ours and while recal- ling with pride the days of the past, look hopefully and confid- ently to the future, when in the fulfilment of our destiny we shall further contribute in no small measure to the develop- ment and prosperity of Canada.

.l. D. STEWART, Premier.

His Excellency, Lord Bessbcr- ough, govcmcr-gencral of Canada, will pay a visit of about ten days duration to the province of Nova. Scctla, according to word received from Montreal, commencing next week. He will travel in the official vice-regal cars and will be accom- panied by Lady llc§lnnmugil.
