SPECIALLY MADE GIFT The silverware presented to Mr. Brunton was beautifully wrought with a hand-beaten design, in which were incorporated sprays of maple leaves. It was specially made for him in Pak- istan to the .order of the Governor- General. It is a marvel--of. exquisite workmanship. On a small shield on a tray is the inscription "To Mr. A Brunton, from His Excellency Aj-Haj Khwaja Nazimuddin, Governor-Gen- eral of Pakistan, 1950." The incident. which.led to this pre- sentation occurred in January of this year... On January 9, Mr. Brunton ve- ceived from the High Commissioner for Pakistan in Canada an order for two and half dozen hatching eggs of his famous world's record egg-pro- ducing strain of Rhode Island Reds, type of birds producing the eggs. It was required that the eggs arrive in Karachi, India, by air freight, later than January 14. Mr. Brunton filled the order, but sent five dozen eggs-instead of two and a half dozen, and .when asked for his bill, he said they were a gift as a gesture of good- will from Canadian farmers. : So far as. he was concerned, the transaction was ended, although he expects to ship further supplies of eggs to Pak- istan this fall. - Then on Wednesday last, he received a telephone call to be in Ottawa the next day, and at the THURSDAY, JUNE 8th, FEE EEE EE sat = Arthur Brunton Honoured By | Pakistan Government Prime Minister St. Laurent of Canada, with special specifications as to the, ~not 1950 Pakistan * Embassy, where. the sentation was made to him. pre- Ships to Many Countries The shipment of eggs sent to Pakis- tan is by no means the first that Mr. Brunton has sent to India.
