Sued by the government for $266,- 000 plus penalties, the company pro- duced a botanist who testified that, in the bhotanieal sense, peanuts and cashews are not. nuts but fruit. Con- sequently, the. company contended, they came under the exemption from the sales tax for fruit and vegetables. But the court ruled that the exemp- tion applies only to those products known generally as fruits and veget- ables. Had parliament wanted to ex- empt_peanuts and cashews, it would have mentioned "nuts" specifically.

Jackson Fifty years of Service is quite a span in one's life to be given in a great cause, and that has been your fine contribution in the Service of the Lord through the teaching to little boys and girls _ the fundamentals of the Christian IF aith, and thereby building up the foundations of character in their young lives, through your teaching inthis Sunday School during the past fifty years As a minister's daughter and a. Public School Teacher you had the training and qualifications for such a work. But you also had something more, and that is your natural born bouyant love for little -- children, and a very high and sincere sense of your responsibility: to teach them. It was that same spirit of love backed by a sense of your Christian duty, that gave vou the enduring qualities which enabled you to carry on so successfully for half a century. ----You-have-now=resigned- from. this noteworthy career, and your resignation has been received: with : general regret from all ages, but you still retain the ~ youthful spirit which is the ¥esulf of a life spent with little children. This evening we are gathered together to do honour to whom honour is due. With the children hére, and. the children of other days who have pas- ~sed on that long trail awinding -all_down through the years. We all join together as a Sunday School ~ and Congregation in this tribute to your work as Teacher and Primary Superintendent and tender to 'you our heartfelt gratitude for the fine influence that has radiated through your activities ins this Sunday School into the homes and lives in this com- munity. . To serve such a cause voluntarily without re- muneration for sg long must constitute a record in Sunday School activities, and must at times have entailed considerable. sacrifice to you. Your work as superintendent of the Primary Department never failed in the high standard you have throughout the years built up, and the interest in all your Christ- mas Concerts never dimmed, as your little pupils . carried out the exercises you had taught them, bringing delight to: their audiences, and thereby proving your value to Home and Church. Gertrude Jackson Our minds to-night travel back over the years of service you have rendered to the Primary Depart- ment of the Sunday School of the United Church in Port Perry. Twenty-Seven years of faithfulhess {o the cause-of training children to recognize the Christian way of Life and also ip faithfulness to the Superintendant - Mrs, of the Primary Department as pianist, is a record of which your friends are very proud and for which they are very thankful. We know that the value of this service could not be reckoned in dollars and cents because it is impossible to know the results of your labors. Your influence has gone around the world and we know that because of your example, your kindness and -your sacrifice this world has enjoyed a better group of citizens than it would have without them. In recognition of this contribution to the Christ- ian-life of our children we would like you to accept this very small gift to let you know that we do ap- preciate e everything you have done.
