Mr. Gibbons, the Minister of Community Affairs, also congratulated the organisers and participants in a number of Heritage Month functions over the week.

Wendell Hubert (Papa) Lake, who was an important figure in the Parson's Road and Friswell's Hill area.

He asked the House to take note of Devonshire Recreation Club's victory in the Camel Cup competition, but said the House had already had cause to send so many congratulations to the club for so many achievements that another round of written congratulations was probably not in order.

Opposition Leader Mr. Frederick Wade asked that condolences be sent to the children of the late Mr. William (Gunboat) Smith and his wife Mrs. Pearl Smith, who died within a few days of each other. Mr. Smith was an "ambassador'' for Bermuda as doorman at the Elbow Beach Hotel for many years, Mr. Wade said.
