Designed to represent The islands major industries. :he table had a basket of Island po- tatoes at one corner. a basket of lobsters at another. a basket of oysters at the third and at the
fourth was a basket of travel folders illustrating the tourist industry.
The long centerpiece of flow- ers had ree green maple leaves arranged in front on the side facing the Prime Ministet. Mr Pellerin later said the whole design was intended to show not only Island products but Island colors as well.
with much good‘natured hanv fering being heard among the premiers. just before closing Premier Shaw stated his hope- “the unanimity so evident here will carry over to any future

The principal leaders from the Maritime prov1nces to the 1864 Charlottetown conference were Charles Topper. premier of Nova Scotia. John Hamilton Gray. premier of Prince Ed.- ward Island, and Leonard Til- ley. premier of New Brunswick.
in the pageant T-upper was played by Peter Dohat. a nephew of Robert Donat who looks like a younger version of Mr. Chips in Goodbye Mr. Chips. the role his uncle cr- eated. Tupper was a medical doctor who some years after the 1864 conference became quite portly.
STURDY PHYSIQUB
Gray was portrayed by John Vernon. veteran of the Strai- ford. Ont~ Shakespearean Festi val. His sturdy physique and rugged face and especially his height befit him for the part of chairman of the conference. with the military bearings that part required.‘
Larry Mann. rotund Toronto variety artist and actor who has played serious dramatic roles as well as farcical oom- edy. represented Tilley.
In 1854 the delegates from Lower and Upper Canada. how- ever. were the chief protagon- ists. arguing for and soliciting the support of the Maritime delegates for the idea of union of the British North American provinces. After Gray was elected chairman and invited the Canadians to attend the con- ference, they presented case for Confederation.
Quite apart from the appeals to the emotions that Macdohald and Cartier made for the Con- federation were
tive and financial reasons.

I Brown was publisher of the old Toronto Globe. a reformer who
a had a long political feud with Macdonald and only joined him in coalition to seek Confed- eration when every other path towards political harmony in Canada had been closed.
And Allen. doyen of the acting fraternity in Canada. played the role of Brown. He is a man of medium tall stature who. in costume, wears steet rimmed glasses. side whiskers. and a cherubic expression. Mr. Allen believes th at Brown should not be regarded as the devil in Canadian Confedera- tion. but while a man of res- ibyterian rectitude. a lover of life nonetheless.
Gait. minister of finance of Canada in 1864 who expounded the financial settlement that would be made if the Maritime provinces joined Upper and Lower Canada in Confedera- tion, was played by Austin Wil- lis, Halifax - born veteran of CBC radio and television shows.
Two other Fathers from Lower and Upper Canada of popular note were Hector Lang- evin and Thomas D’Arcy Mc- Gee. who did not make their real mark in history until 'ome years after Confederation was achieved in 1867.

McGee was assassinated in Ot- tawa in 1868.

HAS RACIAL TENSIONS
The prime minister told the premiers in facing up to pres- ent problems, it must be recog. nized Canada has racial and regional tensions.
“At times they seem to en- danger our very survival as a nation. for strains of the pres- ent always create doubts about
the future. . . . This doubt is seized by the cynics. and the faint. - hearted to belittle the
Canadian experiment. and dim- inish its achievements. To coun- teract such defeatism “we shomd spend more time rejoicing in our achievements; less in moaning about our difficulties." almost identical message came from Premier Robert L. Stanfield of Nova Scotia. Cana- dians spent too much time on their difficulties and inn little on their achievements. he said. P.E.I. Premier Walter Show suggested the provinces get to know each other better so the 1967 centennial celebra- tions would be known as a pe- riod of redismvery and recog-
inces to develop as separate states on the basis of selfish motives.
"The cloth of the federal garb is not perfect," said Premier Robichaud of New Brunswick. "but many of the imperfections have been removed with the years. Those that remain will be removed with patience and quiet determination."
TAKEN BY SURPRISE
He took some premiers by surprise when he suggested the four Atlantic provinces get to- gether and dis c u s s possible amalgamation. But he and the other premiers said any such move would require a lot of thinking and discussion.
Premier Joseph Smallwood of Newfoundland. s latterday‘ Father of Confederation him- self. said Canada today has changed a great. deal from the country Newfoundland joined in 1949. The change was so great "as to make her virtually a new country."
He regretted Newfoundland did not have a representative at the Confederation talks here in 1864. but after 15 years as a province "-1 say on behalf of all Newfoundlanders that the more we see. of Canada the better we like her."
Throngs of spectators cheer- and waved as the Fathers ed five horse-drawn car- riages and paraded in an im- tpressive file to the Provincial Building. The masses of on-‘ lookers lined along the parade1 route from the wharf the‘ Provincial Building were int sharp contrast to the receptiont given the real Fathers 100 years? ago. when most of the populace‘ was unaware of the visitors' on: t'val. l
