Of

tors, and to all. associated with the building of the Forum for their en- terprise and pl" Zic spirit, by Gover- nor Dalton, Mayor Prowse and Pre- mier Lea. It was remarked that the opening of the new artificial ice plant is the first public act of Gov- ernor Dalton since he assumed of- flce.

The interior of the Forum had a holiday appearance, gaily decked with flags and banners, forming a suitable background for a pageant.

The opening number was “A Dream of Toyland," with fairy tale characters as actors. Animals, elves, a butterfly, children, the fairy queen, jazz dolls, toy soldiers, powder puff dolls, the Pied Piper and the child- ren formed the varied caste.

Many laughs were created by the "Parl Mutuels on Wheels," three- wheeled bicycles which it seemed im- possible to mount.

"Pierrots Dream" acted on the ice while Pierrot lay asleep was one of the most dramatic numbers of the programme.

The Tug of War match between tho C.N.R. Shops and L.P.U., was won by the former tcam. .

“The Soldier Maids" was a feature particularly delightful to watch. The young ladies participating seemed to

be well drilled in their parts and went through their movements faultlessly.

A particularly large caste of char- acters appeared in "A Gals Day in Russia," in which the Grand Duke and Duchess are entertained by a series of dances and minuets. con- cluding in a grand march led by the Royal Couple and followed by the

The stately minucts of long ago were demonstrated in “In An Old Fashioned Garden." in dances be- ing garbsd in the attire of the per- iod which they represented. ‘The dance was in honor of the spirit of the Old Fashioned Miss.

The barrel Jumping contest, an event in which tho audience mani- fested great interest, was won by Pat, Power.

Rythm, timing. and grace werg de- monstrated in "May Day in Old Eng- land", an act in which thc girls danced around the Maypole.

The comedy element was predom- inant in “Polo Up to Date" in which mounted players participated, the Royal Lancers playing the Grenadier Guards.

An authentic historic episode dc- Dictlng the smoking of the peace pipe, the Indian dance, and a great Pow-Wow, was acted very realistically The dress of the white men contrast- ed vividly with that of the Red Men. 'I'he Gyro Club is to be congratu- lated on securing the services of My, "Bud" Salmon and Miss Daisy Foster for the staging of the pageant, and the training of the participants.

AUSTRALIAN BUTTER SITITATITTN

(Canadian Press: OTTAWA, Ont. Dec. (Is-Assurance has been given Hon. l-l. H. Stevens, Minister of ‘Prado and Commerce, that Australia. will not authorize any further shipments of butter to Can- ada pending the conference with Hon. Parker Moloney here next week. The following statement was issued today from Mr. Steven's office.

“The Minister oi’ ‘Trade and Com- merce is in receipt of a cablegram from Melbourne from F. M. Forde, acting Minister of Markets for Aus- tralia Station stating that no furth- ev shipments of butter will be auth- orized pending conclusion of confer- cuce with Hoxrable Parker Molonej", Australian Minister of Markets next week."

Flrom this it will be seerl that the Australian Government is cooperat- ing with the Canadian Government in this matter, and it is hoped that at the conclusion of tile conference with Mr. Mololloy, a satisfactory ad- justment of the whole question will have been achieved.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 9.- Tlie Federal stabilization colnlnlttcc today reduced the bounty on Aus- tralian butter for export to three pence and a half penny per pound effective on Dec. 3i next. In effect, this means an increase of five cents a pound for the butter necessary be- fore it can be laid down in Canada. Reports of fears in Canada that Australian butter would flood the Dominion market at 24 cents a pound have been discounted here, but the action of the board today is a con- clete stop in ‘favor of the Canadian producer.

There is a Canadian duty of one cont a pound and the prevailing Australian price is about 36 cents a pound. so that it would cost, dis- counting the bounty of seven cents, about 30 cents in Canada. Against this there is a dumping duty oi’ roughly at the present time, 5 or 6 ‘cents, which Australian exporters bc- llcvo can be avoided by shipping on consignment to be sold Ion commis- slon.

It is llopcd that this list will keep pace with that of the eligible children in order to avoid the usual last minute rush.

Certain memories come to tllc men and women cf Charlottetown as regularly as the Christmas season comes around, memories of other Christmases long ago, sweet moni- ories of childhood, sad memories per- haps sometimes, if Santa neglected to come. Those days are now gone forever, but there is another gen- eration now which orl Christmas Eve hangs up the stocking, goes to bed with hearts beating fast with excite- ment and anticipation for the won- ders of the ‘borrow, and at early dawn on Christmas morning hastens to discover the result of Santa's visit- What will be the result of Santa's visit for many children in Charlotte- town this whiter, or will the jolly old elf be able to visit them all?
