Dudley, who spoke ieelinzlyt on "The Life of Abraham Lmwln", Dr. Dudley spoke chiefly m the human qualities of the "Great Emancipator" and revealed Abraham Lincoln as the most poignant and tender spirit since Jesus of Nazareth. He contrasted Mr. Lincoln with Napoleon Bona- parte who could watch a thousand soldiers die without even the twitching of a facial muscle. This pent world conqueror was almost devoid of feeling. In contrast Mr. Lincoln deemed it worth his while w write a letter to a widow who had lost five sons in the Civil War. This letter concluded with a prayer to the Heavenly Father that he woyltl tornfcrt her in her anguish and bereavement. Dr. Dudley con- tinued "Hia ungainly form has passed - his dishevelled hair — hi! sunken cheeks,-his areflt olivine but his spirit

lvfr. Profitt, giving evidence on his own behalf, stated that he is a married man with five children and that he lives with his father and mother on a. farm UWTIEd by his father which they WCiFk together. Income tax re- turns have been filed by his father, Mr. John Profitt, for many

years wiiioh reported the total income for the farm. This was ' satisfactory to the

department until last year when they asked that. a joint return be filed for 1947, aiici this was done, Mr. Profitt said. The department then asked that he should fl.le a separate return for the years 1943, 1044, 1945, and 1946.

He told of corresponding with the Department and visiting the income tax office in Charlotte- town several times iv-hen they in- sisted tlmt, PEILLFIIS be filed u) show what portion of the farm in- come he received and what pm- tion his father received. Mr. Pro- fitt said that he told them that

this was impossible as “the in- come was never divided in prac- tice and certainly could not be

divided on paper."

He stated that over the years he and his father had taken from the proceeds of the farm what. each happened to need at the time and the balance was used for expenses. There never was any formal division a-nd he said that ho told the income tax officials that. He was ready to swear to this. He said that he never, at any time refused to file a return on a basis that he could. v

Under cross examination he said that no return for these years had been filed under his nam-e.

viiitilke ITheatre Guild tresents Fine Play

An excellent evening's entertain- ment wss presented by The Little Theatre Guild which staged the popular us. play. “John loves Mary" at the Empire last evening. In spits otf the inclement weather the theatre was fairly well filled and deserves a full house on its last presentation this evening.

A comedy in which love's young dream runs afoul of the horrors of post-war rehabilitation, the vehicle was a smooth piece of writing. Not- iceaibly stiff in the first act, the cast gradually thawed out and finished up with a commendable perform- arice.

Grace Diamond. as Mary and half of the lead-team, gave a good steady performance, showing just enough pettishness to bring the part to life. The other half of the lead-team, Jen-y Foster as John, carried the pme with vigor and his sense of comedy showed no little promise. lie ivas ably supported by an erst-while hero and harassed father-to-bc, Ed Garnhuim as Fred, who gave the naive performance the part. call for.

Jock Lawson played the loud. self-important u.s. Senator with confidence, fitting into the part more happily as the play proceeded. Mary DeBlois as his wiife. was ex- cellently cast and her performance was better than good. Oscar, the bus-boy. was well played by Char- lie Willett. '

The high-light of the second act was Alf McKearneYs portrayal of the once uppity army lieut- enant who had been reduced to a theatre usher on civvy street. Sam Vail as tlic d0- goodlrig Red Cross worker left noili- ing to be desired in his sparkling, if ingratiating, appearance.

Elizabeth Willett as Lily, the English catbaret artist, did a good _iob in a part. in which she was not too happily cast, and Sid Fielding. in his overplaying, acted tho part of a clowning stage-general ad- miraibly.

The mechanics of tho play were tinobtrusive and therefore excell- ently handled. Costumes were, pct‘- liaps. outstanding although the "i iiig and lighting were more
