With such a fresh supply of hard currency the U. K. would be able to pay a few more of her dollar trade bills and thus sidestep the crisis, for the time being st least. Any Canadian loan to the U. K. would be over and above the $1.- 50,000,000 Britain began borrowing from Canada in 1948. The last oi this loan now is being used up by the U. K. at the rate of 810.000.0130 e month. All of it is expecteq to be gong by January, 1951. It else was ‘believed Canada would be asked to speed uP "l! rate of flow eo that the U. K. may set more dollars immediately. Canada, a source said, still doesn't feel she is in the secure dollar position where she could meet requests for further loans from the non-dollar area. siniiis. lianniasss. aunts its Per Ieeertiee I e BIRTHS WALTERS-At the Prince Edward Island Hospital on June 24, to Mr. and Mrs. G.

(By The Canadian Press) Political strategists delved into the poet-election rubble yesterday in search of the vote-catching key to the resounding Liberal victory at the polls Monday. At party headquarters and on the liustings, leaders and candid- ates, vanquished and victor alike, Qudied the voting trends across this broad Dominion for clues to the- triumph which sent the Lib- eral Party back into power with the greatest parliamentary maj- ority in Canadian political history. Meantime, Prime Minister St. Laurent prepared to meet his Cab- inet in Ottawa today to lay plans for the opening - probably in Steptember - of the new 21st Pat'- llament, in which he will command 193 of the M2 seats in the new House of Commons. The Council likely will give pre- liminary study to its fail legisla- tive program, including ratification oi the spring budget and re-intro- ductlon of much of the legislation left untouched when the 20th Per- liament was dissolved April 30. The Liberal parliamentary mai- ority is I24, the biggest on Can- ada's political record. Here is the final party standing after the election: Liberals. 193; Progressive Con- servatives. 42; C.C.F., l2; Social Credit. l0: Independent, four; In- depsndent-Liberal, one. That compares with this stand- ing after the 1945 election for a 245-seat House: Liberals, 118; Progressive Con. servatives, 06; 0.011, 2s; 30,331 Credit, I3; Independents, eight; Independent-Liberals, seven; om. ers, five. The seat-total in the new House has been increased by 17 to ac- commodate seven members for the new Province of Newfoundland and l0 for constituencies created sime I945. The Liberals rolled up the big- gest total as well in a popular vote which appeared certain to top an all-time record of 6,000,000 when ell of the tallies are in. A Cabinet shake-up appeared to be in the political card's. There still are l4 Benet-e vacan- cies - tho Prime Minister ap- Ilclntad five new Senators ‘just be- fore the election - and some of them may go to members of the victorious Cabinet.

Return From I Sessions 0i _ Orange lodge On Saturday last s. group of Dromincnt members of the Grand Oranse Lodge in this Province re- turned frcm attending sessions of the Most Worshipful Grand Orange Lodge of British America, which convened in Montreal June 20-24. Included in the group were. Right Worshlpful Grand Master C. D. MacPhail of the Grand Orange Lodge of Prince Edward Island. M W. Grand Chaplain of BritLsh America, the Rev. J, R, Skinner. H...W.P. C.

On June 20 and 2i the Grand Black Chapter of British America met. and transacted all the busi- ness pertaining to that branch of the Order. Divine service, led by the Grand Champion, Rev. J. R. Sikinner of Charlottetown, took place in the‘ Queen Hotel where the Ladies’ Orange Benevolent Amcciation of B A. was also in imn-ual session. The R..W.G. Master C. I). Mac- Phsil also attended the meeting of the Grand Ooumil where legisla- tion effecting the "Orange Senti- nel" as well as many other im- portant matters were discussed and dealt with. Mr. MacPhail was made s member of the correspon- dence committee. On ‘Ihieeday evening ell Provin- eial Grand Masters and Provincial Grand Mistresses from the Atlantic to the Pacific were the honored guests of the M W.. Grand Master R. Henry Small at a banquet. in the Windsor Hotel. During the sessions it was en- nounced that during the fiscal year just past the Orange Order throughout. the Dmninion has made a vary substantial gain. . The Grand Lodge of the I..O.B. A. had an attendance of over 600 delegates. Messrs. ‘MacPhail and Moore had the honor of being made eorutineers during the elec- tion of officers of that Grand Body. The next Grand Lodge session will convene in St. John's, Nild., and it is expected that. Charlotte- town may be msde a port. of call for Westem delegates en routs. Fine ileciiai _Ai Kirli tut Last night in 5t. James Church hell, Miss houiae 0oz. pianist, and Miss Geelyne Craig, soprano, gave e. most delightful recital. The programme they offered their appreciative audience was as follows: Pastorale — Domenico Scarlatti. Allemende; Csvotte from French Suite No. 5; Gigue — J3. Bach. Three Chorale Preludes: (l) Mortlfy Us By Thy Grace; (2) Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring; (3) 308.118 Gilli-st, the Hon of Cod - J8. Bach. (Miss Cox) Amarylli — Caccini (16th cent.) Alleluia -— Mozart.

Arthur Somervell. I Wonder as I Wander - Appel- achian Carol, err. by John Jacob Niles. (Miss Craig) 5115880119. N0. 1 — Claude De- buasy. Polka (from Ballet “L'Age D'Or) —Dmitri Shostakovich. Malsguena — Ernesto Lecuona. (Miss Cox) In addition, in response to very hearty and long continued up. Dlause, Miss Cox played Chopin's c Sharp Minor Waltz, and Debussyb "The Galliwors Cake Walk," While Miss Craig sens "The Blackbird Song" by Cyril Scott. . The varied and most interestin nature of the programme leaips to notice at once. Nothing is here oi the rather heckneyed battle horses of the average recitalist. And yet, while pleasing. there is nothing meretricious or merely showy about it. Miss Cox wisely chose her major numbers from the magnifi- cent oompositiohs of Bach and Chopin, while the songs of Miss CF81! were of a no less authentic character. A few words may be said here of Miss Cox's modern groups. De- buseyfls “Arebesque" is one of his early compositions. quite in the romantic style end much skin to Chopin and Field. while "The Gal- liwosb Cake Walk" (an example of his later work) abound; in what are known as “modern" harmon- ies and staccato chords brought in with somewhat startling effect. It and Shostakovichs "Polka." are, in fact, very much alike. Such works, of course, are in s light and humorous vein, and one feels that their composers intend- ed them not to be taken too seri- ously. Both Miss Craig and Miss Cox rendered their selections with that technical finish and artistic insight which Charlottetown aud- iences have come to expect of them. ‘Miss Craig wee splendidly ec- compenied on the piano by Miss Lillian Maclfensie, organist of 8t. James. At the close of the programme Mr. Ewen Nicholson on behalf of the Charlottetown Male Chorus, reorganized lest winter, presented Miss Cox, who le their accompanist (and we may note, in passing, g former pupil oi Miss Mackenzie) with n. fitting tribute of their great appreciation of her services on their behalf.

President's Remarks Following is the text of the presiddnt, Mrs. Henderson's re- port: It is with sincere pleaseure I welcome you to this the 30th sn- nual meeting of our Auxiliary. On Friday, June 27th, 1919. a committee of Charlottetownladies held a meeting to plan for the raising of funds in order to assist in the building of a new Protest- ant Orphanage. At that meeting it was resolved: "The committee here assembled be named the Ladies Auxiliary of the Prince Edward Island Protestant Orph- image." Today, thirty yesre later, I wish to review very briefly a few of the high-lights. Following the first meeting branch Auxiliaries were organized and throughout the Province con- certs. recitals, rummage sales, teas, picnics. etc., were held with such amazing success that at a meetin of the Orphanage Trustee Board, October 9th. i921, the following resolution was unanimously pass- nd: "In consideration oi the out- standing aseiiance rendered by the Ladies Auxiliary in connec- tion with the erection of the new Orphanage, resolved that after its completion there shell be placed in the West Wing a tablet so that future generations may be re- minded oi their noble work and that the inscription be: (This Wing was erected by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Protestant Orph- enagc.)

"At 1929 hrs. (729 p.m. ADT June 4) the ship was to the northward of the planned track. This was known to the accused, He took no steps to correct this course or re- duce speed. Nelther'did he ascer- tain from the navigation officer the amount of alteration of course which was applied and which prov- ed to be inadequate to ensure the safety of the ship." In answer to a question from Admiral Mainguy, Commodore A. M. Hope, prosecutor, told the court he wished no "censure from a higher authority”. John Holm of Montreal end Commander E. E. G. Boak, representing the accused, said Commodore Miles desired no “mitigation? The court deliberated 15 minutes before deciding sentence. Commo- dore Miles, who has spent 30 of his 33 years at sea mostly in Royal Navy ships, stood taut and still at attention to hear the sentence. He made no comment but marched to the table where he picked up his sword. After saluting the court he marched out briskly and managed a smile as he reached the door. Claim Charts In Error Today's hearing proceeded after a defence claim that there was no case against Commodore Miles, na- tive of Rothesay, N.B. The prosecu- tion called 11 witnesses and the de- fence, four. Defence counsel de- Popular Vote Figures clared that Magnlficenfs charts were in error. . The __18,000-ton capital ship grounded on what was described as “a submerged, uncharted rock" off White Point Beach, 70 miles never let the little orphans down. In looking back we find thirty years of outstanding success. Our public-spirited women of Prince Edward Island, imbued with high ideals, have carried on magnific- ently, giving freely of their time, their talent, and their money on behalf of the under-privileged children of the Province. What. mainly. has been accomplished? Over $165,000.00 has been passed over to the trustees while huge quantities of clothing. house sup- plies, and gifts of all kinds have been sent in to the "Home." Although the Auxiliary is grow- ing older it is, I em happy to re- port. more vigorous and more helpful than st any time in its his- tory. Totel net cash in 1948 was $11,538.95. Truly s remarkable am- ount. As it will not be possible for a number of you to attend the an- nual general meeting tonight, I will report to you briefly on the pest year. Financially it was the best in the history of the Orph- anege. Total receipts $30,256.32. Of this amount $10,980.63 was receiv- ed from estates and placed in the Endowment Fund. Your trustees have, es always, worked hard and each department of the work has been kept up to the usual high standard. With pre- veiling prices every care has been taken in the expenditures but the children have not been denied the means necessary for their normal development. Mrs. Helen Horne. RN, assistant matron, re- signed ln May of this year. It will be difficult to replace Mrs. Horne as her work was vcry outstand- ing. Her resigneiion was regret- fully received by the trustees, a regret l em sure we all share. As the yesrs pass we realize more and more how very worth- while this Orphanage work is. Both in war and in peace the children from the "Home" have been a credit to the Orphanage and to the Province. Now s forward glance. What of the future and how will we meet it? I do not think we need fear. Here is a quotation from a letter written me by a vcry young co‘.- lector: "I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to help. even in s small way, to carry on the splendid work you people ere doing in caring for little unfortun- ate children. I think it's a won- derful work." No, we need not fear the future!

The Canadian Press compilation showed the Liberals to lie the chief gainers over figures for the 1045 election with a gain of more than 10 per cent. Progressive Conserva- tives plcked up three per cent while the CCF. dropped 2 1-2 per - cent from their 1945 totals.

The prosecution claimed a ship of Magnificenfs size should not have ventured so close to shore. An officer aboard the carrier said the ship struck 150 yards off shore. ‘ She was tugged from her perch by the destroyer Haida and later ' limped into Halifax. The big ship now is in dry-dock at Saint John, N.B., for repairs to her bottom. Witnesses said the carrier was steaming at 12 knots when she grated onto the rocks.
