OTTAWA (CP) — Higher oper- ating costs cut into record Trans- Canada Air Lines earnings last year to trim its net surplus to $404,674, the publicly-owned com- pany reported Friday.

The c0<m>pwany’~s annual report, tabled in the Commons, showed record gross revenues of $104,- 995,707, an increase of 15 per cent over the 1956 figure of $91,306,000.

But “while the most rigid pos- sible control was exercised,” said TCA president G. R. Mccrregor In the report, “operating ex-

§ total of $103,500,000” compared to

I82,225,000 the previous year.

This cut the surplus for 1957 Thanply lower than the $1,556,000 for 1956. It was the seventh con- Tecutive annual surplus.

Mr. M-cGregor said the gross * revenues represented an increase of 20 per cent over the previous Year during the first half of 1957 and a rise of only 11 per cent during the second half.

'7 Higher wages and landing fees

W penses increased 16 per cent to a

’ Canada and Britain increased fuel costs and a provincial tax of two cents a gallon on aviation fuel in Ontario were main fac- N tors in the operating cost in- crease. RECORD LOAD ” The line carried II record 2,- .713 pa.ssen.gers, an increase of 15.4 per cent over 1956 and more

than twice as many as in 1952. It had 27,782 miles of air routes at the end of last year in Can- ada, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Bermuda and the Caribbean.

It was serving 59 communities, 39 of them in Canada and 27 of which have population of less than 100,000.

Passenger trallfic accounted for by far the greatest part of TCA revenue—$86,523,981.

During the year, the company added 14 Vickers Viscount air- craft and two Super G Constellla- tions to its fleet, initiated more flights on many of its routes and increased passenger space by 20 per cent.

‘In a move that reduced the travelling time by seven hours, the company last year introduced non-s-top Super Constellation serv- ice between Toronto and Vancou- vér. It also inaugurated a non- stop flight between Toronto and Britain. _

The report said that despite trends towards rising costs and increased consumer prices in vir- tually all Canadian industries, there were no increases in TCA passenger and cargo charges.’ *

There were in fact reductions in faces that became erffective last Jan. 1, main one of which was a 20-per-cent cut in certain tourist class fares.

and Valedictory Address Given

By Miss Jean McIcPherson,

The valedictory address at the Prince of Wales Convocation Ex- ercises Friday was delivered by Miss Jean MacPherson of Char- lottetown. Miss M:-IcPherson stood fourth in the 1958 graduat- ing class and in addition was awarded the H. N. Macquarrie Prize.

Following is the text of the ad- dress:

“Another Convocation Day has dawned upon us, very much the same as others of past years but to us members of the graduating class it is one of the most impor- tant days of our lives. It symbo- lizes the beginning of a new way of life and the end of an old.

“Today we look forward to the future with a great deal of hope and maybe some hesitancy, but before we leave let us thumb through the pages of our album of memories.

“Remember the excitement of registering in first year and the confusion of getting acquainted with teachers and classroonrs. In fact we sometimes became so confused that some classes were missed altogether even months af- ter college began.

“In that case it was necessary to avoid Mr. Bennett at all costs. But surprisingly enough — or is it surprising at all? Perhaps it is just lifc -.-— The all so "cry strange become the very fa-miliar sur- roundings and patterns in an at- mosphere which became part of our very lives —- part of our- selves -- and as we cast our eye back over this very familiar pattern certain episodes loom up as mile stones in our journey through the years.

STUDENT COUNCIL

‘We remembered the Student Council elections, the heated poli- tical disputes and campaigns which were accompanied by brass bands, bagpipes and par- ades. Speaking of parades, will a ny 0 he ever forget parading through town following the cam- pus King and ueen and return- ing to the college for the corona- tion and dance afterwards.

“What a wealth of memories it brings to think of this auditorium filled with music and students and with the lights turned down low for a dance. However the and- itorium was used for what was considered by the faculty, II far more practical purpose. Could anyplace look as grim as this did with the chairs and tables all set up for exams; and remember the nights we spent burning the midnight oil studying for those exams.

SPORTS \

Sports also constitute a large part of our college memories. Re- member g o i n g out to St. Dun- stan's to cheer for our valiant — it rarely successful -- football team, and those exciting trips to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with the hockey and basketball teams.

“College day was always a big social event of the year and ev- eryone will a.dmit that we had our best College Day the year it snow- ed so hand that we were given the next day off from classes.

“Perhaps one of the brightest memories is. that of the color and excitement of the Curling Cham-

pionships played in Charlottetown last winter. The social events that were -most enjoyed were the class parties at Fra.nk‘s, Austina's and "and Flo's homes climaxing in our last big gebtogether at the Fourth Year Banquet.

"However our college life was more than a social whirl. There was a great deal of hard work connected with it too and as we look back over both toil and frol- ic we will never forget the hap- py years we have spent at Prince of Wales and how they have pre- pared us to meet whatever life may bring.

APPLY KNOWLEDGE

“Cardinal Newman has point- ed out to us that the purpose of a university is not only to impart facts but to teach us to think and to apply our knowledge to daily life. Our professors here at Prince of Wales have always stri- ven to teach us this lesson in liv- ing.

“How late we realize the value of their lesson, but before we leave I wish to express our deep gratitude to them. We are grate- ful not only for "what they have taught us but also for the warm personal interest w h i c h they took in each and every one of us so that we look -back on them not only as teachers but as friends.

“Many times we have tried their patience through inatten- tivenes and carelessues /yet they have never refused to answer a question or to spend extra time to help us with our problems. The training and guidance which we have received from each of you will be of enduring benefit to us through years to come and for this we thank you from the bot- tom of our hearts.

INDEBTED T0 PARENTS

“To our parents too we feel dee-ply inadeibted for it is they who have m-ade this day possible. It is they who worked so that we might obtain an education and it is they who enclouraged us and worried over us, sharing the joy of our successes and the heart- ache of our failures.

“Today we wish to «share with them the greatest success of our days at Prince of Wales and we hope this will in some way re- pay them for the times we have disapupointed them and burdened them unnecessarily with our thoughtlessness. \

“We hope always to give thorn cause to be as proud of us as they are today and although our appreciation of them has been mostly felt and not expressed I wish to take this opportunity to let them know of the boundless gratitude that is in each of our hearts.

DIVERGING WAYS

("Fellow graduates - today we leave Prince of Wales never to return again as students. It is very unlikely that all the mem- bers of our class will ever meet as a group again. ‘Indeed many of our classmates have already left -the island for various places throughout Canada.

“I ask you to think of the last days in‘which we were all togeth- er, of the friends we have taken for granted through our college

Monday, May 26.19.58 The Guardian Page 9‘

years. In later years we will think back and realize that these years were perhaps the happiest of our lives, certainly the most carefree, and the friends which we made here will be remember- ed as the dearest friends.

“Some of us will still be toge- ther next year and some of us will meet in years to come but some of us -may never meet a- gain. However, passing years will never dim the memories of our companions of our youth and of the happiness and gaiety which we have shared. Before we part I wis'h to extend to each of you my warmest wishes for happiness in your way of life and success in your chosen work. 1( OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES

“May you always be able to withstand the blows that life will deal to you and may they be as few as possible.

“But if they be many and seem to follow hard one upon the other, do not be downhearted; hard knocks, ‘blows, and reverses are the portion of the man who as- pires.

“Life consists in overcoming dif- ficulties. The ‘higher we aim the more stubborn the obstacles will become. No one prizes an easy victory. It is the endeavour -not the chance victory, the ‘struggle not the calm. that really makes life; for e is an unending struggle fo 3 goal beyond earth- ly bounds. As the poet truly says: “Ah, but man's reach

should exceed the grasp, Or what’s in heaven for?”

_ THE RACE OF’ SPRING

”I‘was early March when I did see

G-reen buds upon our lilac tree

Its home is by the old south porch

Where northern gale 5 can’t harm it much.

From oe’r the fields the trees looked bare

Still blanketed in winters’ ware

Anon, sun's’ days laid bare the gllade ‘

And lo! A summer‘: dress was made.

The sap crept up into the branch And wakened all the buds per- chance The woodlands tossed their heads in glee The race was on Ye, Lilac Tree. —-E. B. Wall Baltic, Lot 18.

Méaine Lobster Probe Continues

PORTLAND. Me. (AP~—Pr.es-. idenft Leslie A. Dyer of the Maine Lobstermeifs Association was quoted in U.S. district court Thursday as t ell i n g striking fishermen last summer that deal- ers would drop the price to 25 cents a pound or lower.

Twice last s u m m e r, large groups of lolbstermen stopped hauling their traps after the price dropped to 30 cents from 35 cents

a pound. Dealers claimed a glut‘

of lobsters during the shel1-sl1ed- ding season — when the lobster: are harder to se1l—-made the drop necessary.

As a government witness In the

price-fixing trial of Dyer and the association representmg 2~5_00 Of tre state's 6,000 llcensed fisher- men, Elmer E. Alley of Prospect Harbor testified about a meeting of 200 lobstermen in Rockland at the height of the dispute._

Alley quoted Dyer as saying the dealers “didn’t plan to stop“ at "the 30-cent price but would drop it to “25 cents a pound or lower."
