follows:
''12. A reference to dried lexias in any regulations or other instrument in
force at the commencement of this Act under the Principal Act or under the
Dried Fruits Export Charges Act 1924-1929, or in any contract, agreement or
instrument made under, or for the purposes of, either of those Acts or any
regulations under either of those Acts and subsisting at the commencement of

Board was changed to Australian Dried Fruits Control Board. Sub-section 4 (2)
of that Act provides as follows:
''(2) The change effected by paragraph (a) of the last preceding
sub-section in the name of the Board constituted under the Principal Act does
not affect the existence, or the corporate identity, of that Board or its
membership and a reference to that Board-
(a) in a law of the Commonwealth or in an instrument made under, or having
effect for the purposes of, a law of the Commonwealth, including regulations
in force under the Principal Act; or
(b) in a contract, agreement or instrument subsisting at the commencement
of this Act to which that Board is a party,
shall, after the commencement of this Act, be read as a reference to that
Board by the name of the Australian Dried Fruits Control Board.''
