Many Tributes

the Senate of Canada. His ad- vice was sought by many people whom he knew. He was kind and generous with his wise counsel, both to those who were Privileged to call him fricnd and to those who were not so closely associat- ed with him. Senator Jones was highly regarded in Ottawa both by his fellow senators and by mem- bers in the House of Commons. His passing leaves a vacant spot. in our public life that will be dif- ficult to fill.

“To his widow and family I ex- tend by deepest sympathy."

Senator T. V. Grant:

"The sudden passing of the Hon. J. Walter Jones is deeply regret- ted. not only by all Island sena- tors and members of Parliament but also by all who made his ac- quaintenance since he came to Ot- tawa as a senator from Prince Ed- ward Island."

Senator G. H. Barbour:

"The death of Senator J. Wai- ter Jones today was indeed a great shock to me. We lfsd served to- gether as members of the P. E. Island Legislature. Later I had the privilege of serving with him in his cabinet at home. For the past few months we have been together in the Senate. I take this oppor- tunity of expressing my sincere sympathy to Mrs. Jones and to the other members of his family."

Mr. J. Angus MacLean, M.P.:

"With the passing of Senator Jones Prince Edward Island has lost one of its most distinguished sons. He was a man who had a long life of exceptional achieve- ment. Hc pioneered in many methods of agriculture which have been a great asset to the industry especially in our Province. He gave himself unstintingly to the service of his Province and to the country generally.

"Since being appointed to the Senate, he took a great interest in the affairs of Parliament and formed many friendships among the membe ship of both the Sen- ate and the House of Commons. He will be greatly missed on Par- llament Hill.

“My sincere sympathy goes out to his widow and family in their bereavement."

Mr. '1‘. J. Klckham. M.I’.:

“In the sudden passing of Sen- ator J. Walter Jones our Province suffers the loss of the most. dis- tinguished cattle breeder in North America. I wish to extend my sin- cere sympathy to his wife and family."

Mr. Neil A. Mathason. M.P.: “The death here today of Sena- tor Jones was a terrible shock to me. He was happy and joking at breakfast today. A few hours later he was dead. He has been very kind to me since both of us come to Ottawa together last Novem- ber. His kindness. his assistance and his friendship have been deep- ly appreciated. To Mrs. Jones. to Bus and to the other mcmbors of the family I can only say that I am terribly son‘y."

Hon. A. W. Mal-hecon. of Prince Edward Island: "I was deeply movod when I learned yesterday afternoon that my former leader and colleague Honourable J. Walter Jones ‘had died very suddenly in his office in the Parliament Building at Ot- tawa. Senator Jones and I were together in the Legislature of this Province for a period of 10 years. As leader of the Liberal party he served as Premier of this Province for over 10 years. He always re- tained the confidence of the elec- torate. At three successlve elec- tions he was returned to office. The people of the Province show- ed him that they appreciated his efforts by giving him an increased majority each election.

"J. Walter Jones will go down in history as one of our greatest. premiers. He had differences of opinion with friends and oppon- crits but everyone whether a friend or an opponent would readily ad- mit that he was courageous and a steadfast exponent of his ideals. He had many ideas far in advance of all his contemporaries. Many of these ideas have become reali- ties and the people of the Prov- ince are the richer therefore. "senator Jones was an outstand- ing student. an outstanding ath- late. an outstanding agriculturist and an outstanding statesman. He will be remembered by the people of the Province and in fact by the people of all of Canada for his many achievements in tha field of agriculture. His work on bihllf of his native Island will always be a monument to his memory.

A memorable performance of the Lortgines symphonette under its skilled conductor. Michel Piastro. ciimaxcd the Community Concert series for this season at the Prince of Wales College last evening.

Excellent musicianship in both classical and contemporary oom. positions was dimlayed by the as members of the “chamber symph- ony" whose macctm demands art- ostic precision. The capacity aud- ience thoroughly enjoyed the re- sult of this musicianship.

The Russian-born Mishel Plastro conducted the s-yznphonette with- out’ a score, an acompilshmcnt possible through a fine memory. with equal distinction, the maes- tro put aside his baton and per- formed the finale of Mendelssohrfs "Violin Concerto in E Minor" played in unison with three viol- inists. This rendition showed his brilliant musical genius.

The program's introductory num- bar was the vigorous overture to Mozart's "The Montage of Fig- are" followed by the contrasting Bach-Ormandy Choral Prelude. "Sleepers Awake". The rich mei- ody of the latter composition was played with flowing beauty.

A modern “Symphony No. 595" by Don Giilis attracted the aud- ience through its humorous and Jazzy rhythms which the music- inns obviously enjoyed playing. The first and third movements. “Perpetual Emotion" and “Scher- Zophrenia" were especially rhyth- mic. although the second move- ment, “Spiritual" only slightly sug- gested its theme. The composi- tion of a leading American com- poser, Somuel Barber. "Adagio for

ca‘ 0 ARLOTTETOO " we:

Longines Symplionette is Climax Of Qintgert Series

strinu" was played with much tenderness.

Composed specially for the or- chestra, "Sulte for Amber." by Nicholas Flagetto was inspired by Piastro'a honey-colored cocker spaniel. "Amber" who was back- stage with Mrs. Plaatra. The mu- sic ls "movie-like" and describes the antics of Amber amidst the vivid American scene of life.

Soloist for the evening, violin- ist Kenneth Gordon played "Gypsy Airs" by Sarasarte which the audience applauded heartily. It was one of the highlights of the evening.

Concluding numbers were two popular Rimsky-Korsskoif selec- tions. "Song of India" and “Flight of the Bumble Bee“ and Strauss’ "Emperor Waltz" played in its grandest manner. Enccrea were “Clear Trek" by Strauss. “Clair do Lune" by Debusscy and "Jumping Beans" by Farnon. \

The performers had to play without some of their equipment which was lost in transit. How- ever, improvised stands held their music satisfactorily.

A reception was held for the performers as well as Community Concert executive and workers at the "Y" following the concert. To- day the Symphonette leaves for

New Brunswick centers and the ccstcrn states. Heard throughout the world.

“"3 I-Onzines Symphonette first broadcast over the air in 194i and has been broadcasting and touring ever since. Conductor

Michel Piastro has appeared as soloist under Koussevitsky and participated in joint performan- ces of their own music with Strauss. Aavel and Reslghi.

"Senator Jones now belongs to the ages. His name will be record- ‘ed in this Province not as Senator Jones but as Premier Jones and still mol'e likely as Waiter Jones, his favorite way of introducing himself.

“To Mrs. Jones and to all mem- bers of the family I extend my ‘deepest sympathy in their hour of great sorrow.“

Mr. It. R. Bell, Q.C.. Leader of the Opposition:

“Citizens of the Province were shocked today when the news was released of the death of Senator J. Walter Jones while attending to his duties at Ottawa. During the past month Senator Jones had been a visitor at our Sessions of the Legislature and he seemed to have been in the best of health and taking an active interest in the business of the House in which he was closely connected for the past 20 years.

"By Senator Jones’ death, Prince Edward Island has lost one of her distinguished sons not only in the field of politics but also in the field of agriculture. wherein he had been an outstanding authority for years. His death at this time only goes to show the toll of pub- iic service and this is being exem- piied from clay to day in the death of many of our public men at a comparatively early age. I am sorry indeed that Senator Jones has not been spared to live a few years to relax somewhat and to enjoy the fruits of his hard earned ap- pointment. I know personally that he had no intention of relax- ing from his efforts to try to im- prove conditions in Prince Edward Island. while in the Senate and I feel that senator Jones could have dohe much in his new field of ac- tivity.

“On behalf of myself and on behalf of the Conservative party in Prince Edward Island I extend to his esteemed family our sin- cercst sympathy."

Mr. W. Chester 5. MeLure. form- er Membor of Parliament for Queens:

"The unexpected death of Sena-

tor J. Waltcr Jones has come as a shock to us all. “My association with Senator Jones dates back to early manhood and although differing in the political sphere. we had much in common and shared a mutual re- spcct for each other'a opinions in the realm of public life. His was a valued friendship.

“Senator Jones served his Prov- ince well on the home front. It was sincerely hoped. on his ap- pointment to the Senate of Can- ada. he would be spared many

years 10 Carry on his important work and see the fulfillment of his many desires. This was not to be.

"A rich and colorful life has ended but one may rest assured that the favorable imprint he has left in the life of this Province will be gratefully remembered in years to come.

“To Mrs. Jones and family my sincere sympathy."

Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan. former Premier and Leader of the Op- position:

"It was indeed a great shock to the Legislature this afternoon when Premier Matheson gave us the sad news of Senator Jones’ sudden death in Ottawa today. It was a great personal shock to me because senator Jones and I were life-long friends. We met as stu- dents at Prince of Wales College in 1896 and have been close friends ever since. We have had many political battles both on the stump and in the Legislature. We dis- agreed on many political ques- tions and we both used plain words. That is the role of politicians but there never was a rift or break in our close friendship. Many times since the senate vacancy occurred I advised him to accept it but his repeated answer was ‘I see so many things to do for this Province and I would like to do a little more. The old saying there is so much to be done and so little time.‘

“This wonderful Province has produced no greater Islander than Walter Jones. Island interests were his chief objective during his en- tire life. He was a great athlete in his student days and retained his interest in athletics suppla- menteci by financial support of his government during his long Pre- miership which nearly tied that of Sir William Sullivan. He was a pioneer in the great fox industry and was the author of a treatise on that industry which has al- ways been acknowledged as the best. Among dairymen. he was easily the best in this Province if indeed not the best in Canada holding as he did several world records. He was a successful political leader a victor in three Provincial contests and it is surely pathetic that he did not live lam- er to have some comparitivo ease and comfort as a member of the Senate. He had a dynamic person- ality and was an outspoken and fearless leader. and history will surely accord him a high place among our great Islanders.
