Minister Mayers noted that such patriotism and unselfishness is worthy of emulation.

Among you are persons who have contributed in diverse areas of national development like public service, industrial relations, agriculture, education, health, community development, youth development, law and order, social services, transportation and business among others.”
Mr. Cornelius Lubin and Mr. Tyrone Maynard were invested as Officers of the British Empire.
