ed over by the Minister of-Eouca- tion, Premier J. Walter Jones. and the prize awards and certificates were handed out by the Lieutenant Governor.

In the Principal's report which appears below, Dr. G. D. steel paid a warm tribute to the academic work of the veteran students who. he said, had wielded e salutary in- fluence on the whole social and intellectual life of the College. l-Ie also had warm words of praise for his vice-principal, Prof. J. If. Blanchard, who had given fifty years of his life to teaching in the Province. ' The veledictory, delivered by Leith Tierney. a veteran of World War II, had that maturity of thought and broadness of outlook which called forth praise from Mr. L. W. Shaw. director of education. who stated the veledictory was one of the finest he had ever heard at any closing exercises of any col- lege. A

Both the Lieutenant Governor and Premier Jones in brief ad dresses congratulated the faculty and the students of the College in their year's work. Both predicted that nothing of a seriously adverse nature would ever befall the coun- try so long as the educational in- stitutions continued to send forth such a splendid type of young man- hood snd womanhood as those who had received their certllfcetes from Prince of Wales yesterday.

Mr, L. W. Shaw spoke briefly. I-le said he was glad to note the num- ber which were graduating from the teacher training classes but said ths Prolvnce could easily use twice as many. He admonished those going out to teach not to be- come too greatly worried over thc various sides of the educational program. Cultural education and vocational education were both

BY GEORGE KITCHEN OTTAWAﬁMay 28 - (CP) _. The Government today gave the

~ dairy farmer a guarantee that the

wholesale price of butter will not drop beioy 571,-’.- cents a pound anywhere in Canada.

Agriculture Minister Gardiner tabled in the Commons an order- in-council passed today which establishes "HOOP" pricgg undu- butter of 50 cents at Charlotte. WWII. Halifax and Saint John, N. 13., 58 cents at Montreal and Toronto and 57% cents at Van- couver.

The floor for the Western Pro. vinces will be the same as that for Montreal-Toronto - 58 cell's a pound.

As the spread between the whole- sale and retail butter price averages about 3% cents a. pound, this means for the consumer that the retail price now cannot go below 62% cents a pound in the Mari- liimel. 61% cents in Ontario Quebec and the West and e1 cents in British Columbia.

rnxi one... o... o. Local Man Dismissed In Exchequer Court

OfITAWA. May ie-(spcctgi)- In a judgment handed down to- dsy in the Exchequer Court of Canada by Mr. Justice E. R. Ang- ers, ali appeal against the assess- ment of his 194-3 income tax. filed by Robert F. Acorn of Charlotte- town was dismissed. In dismissing

ed:

‘The respondent (the Depart- ment of National Revenue, Tax- ation) will have his costs against the appellant, if he deems fit to claim them."

The appeal was in the nature of a test, case and hinged on Mr. Acorns claim that $134.80 receiv- ed by hlm as Army pay when serv- ing ivith the 17th (R) Armored Regiment of Charlottetown was exempt from income tax. Mr. Jus- tice Angers ruled that pay receiv- ed by members of the Reserve Army was not tax-exempt, the ex- emption applying only to mem- bers of Canadian military forces when on active service.

Although the amount which the Income Tax Depvartuient claimed was due from Mr. Acorn was only $29.40 for the year 1943. the ap- pellant was not satisfied with the ruling of the department. He was still dissatisfied when the original income tax assessment was con-

‘ firmed by C. Fraser Elliott» K. 0..

then Deputy Minister of National Revenue, Taxation, and now Can- ada's Ambassador to Chile.

Grounds of Appeal

In his appeal. Mr. Acorn set forth that he served as a Lieuten- ant in the 17th (R) Armored Regi- ment of Charlottetown from Jan- uary i to June 1, 1948, and as

Annapo

By MARILYN LAMBORN KIINTVIIJE, 11.5., May 28 (CP) -- For the first time in 10 years, the queen of the Annapolis Valley will reign over a blossom- less countryside.

Residents od the longest orch- ard valley in the British Empire could also take honors for the longest faces as they prepare to welcome an expected 50,000 tour- ists here to their loth- annual

Iossom festival. Scouts have been out all day, up and down the Annapolis Valley, vainly search- ing for an apple tree which has ruetled into pink or white bloom, but they came back empty hand- ed except for s few wild pear blooms.

However. the weatherman has promised to co-operate by pre- dicting “a fine week-end" with just the merest suggestion of fog in the morning and late evening.

"You'll have to rattle your beads a whole lot harder than you've been rattling them, if you expect blossoms this week-end," warned a parish priest when he discussed the situation with Frank Burns, president of the festival since its inception in 100d.

“Just. can't understand it."

“We've never been wrong be-

Exlperts of the Dominion liz- perimental Farm for the Annap- olis Valley have ‘an answer. They say the whole of Canada has ex- perienced a late spring, and even the country's greatest apple dis- trict can't expect the usual pink and white countryside until next week or maybe later.

Although festival official: are resigned to the fact that only in- fre-red rays could produce the desired bloom setting, the Val- ley's finest feminine beauties were on display today, when 12 attractive young women competed for the title of Queen Annepolisa XVI, From the time the girls left their rooms today, they were un- dcr inspection _ by unknown judges who met them at a tea and dinner. Their poise, person- ality and carriage will be consid- ered, as well as natural attributes, when the judges announce their choice tonight of the girl chosen by communities or counties to represent the Annapolis valley.

A large coronation ceremony will be held tomorrow when the queen, surrounded by her ladies ln waiting will lcad the festival parade. Beauties rather than blossoms will be the order of the
