presented with a costly watch, which

true.

the direction of ex-President Joseph

convey through the medium of the
watch some modicum of the esteem in
which the hold him. Visibly affected
by the presentation and quite over
whelmed by the evidence 1t betrayed
of the regard in which the T. p. AS

accepting the gift gracefully and as
surfing all that his love and work for
the post would continue.
