TERRITORIES

Names of the 90,000 recipients of the Coronation Medals granted by King George VI were announced throughout the Bri-tish Empire last night. Australia's quota was 6,500, of which 1,300 were awarded in the Commonwealth Territories. Canberra received 99.

The Medals for the Dominions have not yet left England, and it will be the end of July before they are distributed through

the post to Australians who have received this honour.

The Governor-General and Lady Gowrie and their staff head the list of prominent Commonwealth person-alities who will receive the medal. In Canberra other awards have been made to departmental heads, the of-ficial chairmen of various organisa-tions, and former public servants who have rendered valuable service to the

Commonwealth.

Awards in the Territories have been made to the various Administrators
