Centron Palver (15/4/1874 - 21/6/1950) was a Pharos Premier (1930-32 and 1933-39). He was born in Victoria,CON and studied Political Science at Telford College. His father Ankor was Victoria Mayor. He was elected in Pharos Parliament at the age of 28 with the Social Democrats and was Minister for Education in Henrik Bruijn's governments. In 1929 he was elected General Secretary of the Socialdemocrats and became Pharos Premier in 1930, head of a minority government. His economic policy focused mainly on keeping a balanced budget for government spending and income. After a small brief (1932-33) he was reelected Premier in 1933, after the Social Democratic Party won a majority in the Parliament. He stayed in power until 1939. During his time Columbia, Diceland and Centralia left the Dominion. Even though he faced acute economic problems due to the Great Depression and even stronger political issues with the division of the island, he always had the support of the people due to his moderate character.
