On being piped. to their places by John Evans, the dis- tinguished “ guests were | duced by W. J. Hancox. These | were Lieutenant-Governor F. | Walter Hyndman, Premier W. | R. Shaw, Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell, Mr. Justice George Tweedy, Judge J. S. DesRoches, Capt. Carl-“Burke and Col. W. E. Johnstone.“ |

More than 4 international students attending St. Dunstan’s University stood and gave their names .and home addresses when called upon by chairman, Dr. Tudor Gencheff.

After introducing the ‘‘Islard- er 6f the Year” Mr. Hancox called . upon Burton Lewis, executive editor of The Even- ing Patriot and The Guardian, who in commenting on the Is- lander of the Year award said, “It seems to. me that, this award and everything connected with it—the manner of choos- ing the person to be honored and the annual presentation at 2 gathering of the Rotary Club —all have firmly ‘established themselves as parts of an ex- ceptionally happy Island ttadi- tion’.

“T asure you that it is a great pleasure for The Patriot, as it should be for any news- paper, to have a part in sucn a fine tradition’, Mr. Lewis said. 2

“Always, through’ the three years in which the Islander of the Year Award has been made, the selection has been such as to add honor to the award, in just as great mees- ure as the award has been in- tended to honor the person

That is as it should | certainly it is

be, and - today”. ;

Mr. Lewis said, “The reason it has remained continuously true, I believe lies in the ex- ceptional qualifications and earnest conscientiousness of all those who have had_ the hard task of deciding who should be honored.. Their calibre is suz- gested by the membership of- this year’s’ board—Judge -Des . Roches, of Montague, Mayor Currie of Summerside, who was unable to be here today, and - your fellow-Rotarian, - Mr
