PAGE six T1 CNDA TTSA, OMN!LOTRC_ HarolId GuIIy Speaker At Rotary -Honoring Dr. George James Thse regular meeting of tise flowmanville Rotary Club held at the Balmoral Hotel Friday noon was transformed into "Dr George James Day" as the Bowmanvllle Rotarians, sev- eral visitars tram other Rotary clubs, and liflang friends af Dr. James paid a surprise tri- bute ta hlm for thse hanor lie recelved reccntly by bcing given an honorary degree of Doctor ai Laws at Queen's Un- iversity. Dr. James, who is a charter member and a Past President ai the Bowmanville Rotary Club, was seated at the head table with Harold M. Gully, a former Bowmanville boy and liielong friend, who was the speaker. Also at tise table werc Rotarian Tlm Wilson, a past president, af Oshawa Ro- tary Club, another aid fricrîd of Editor James who was re- sponsible for arranging the meeting; President Keitis Jack- son, and Rotaian Dave Morr- son, another charter member o! the local club. Rotarian Morrison intmoduc- ed Mr. Gully as a for-mer Bow- manvihle boy who isas maoe good in tise big city ai Toronto where hie was Public Relations Director for Sihvcrwood Daim- les Limited for many years;. Mm. Gully a past president of thse Toronto Rotary Clut, vi.s- itcd thse Bowmanvihle club an- nuaily tisrougb the years, b2 said and is well and favorably known here as a very witty speaker. Very Witty Address M. Gully fully lived up ta this reputation in tise early portion ai bis addmess as lie mc- minisced about bis younger days when he grcw up on Cen- tre Street with Dr. James, who lived only a few doars away. He gave a vemy amusing e- sume aifiis duties, trials and tribulations as pipe organ pumper at tise Metisodîst Cisurch in Oshawa. Aiter keeping his audience in constant laugiter with tise atories ai his yauth, Mr. Gully became sligitly more seriaus as he paid tribute ta Dr. George James on mceiving an isanor- amy L.L.D. degree from Queen's. "I think At was tise late El- bemt Hubbard who said same- thing ta tise effect that whcn work, study and play are ai- ternated in praper proportions tise argans ai tise mind are last ta fail, and death for sucis has no termors", Mm. Gully stat- ed. Maybe Dr. James' practie- of tisis pattern bas kept himof tise slab for nealy 70 yearsf," Mm. Gully said. "Tiseme is no accolade Ma tise weekly press mare Impor- tant than being made Presidenti ai tise Canadian Wcekhy News- papers Association. One mamn- ing in 1937 1 was aver in tise garage getting tise slip covers geased wben my wife called up ta say tisat Harry Nichol- son, Editor ai Printer and Pub- isher, wanted me on tise phone," tise speaker said. "Mm. Nicholson wanted ta know if I, as a eceptacle for evcîy word uttercd by George James, wauld write a sketch af Editor James ai Tise Canadian Statesman as he had just been ehectcd President af tise Cana- dian Weekiy Newspaper Assa-, ciation. They wantcd this for a lead article in tise next issue af Printer and Pubhisiser. "I said I would do tisis for tise sheer lave of it (which wasn't my usual approacis ta a paying job) so I threw off tise isalter and began ranging down tise corridors ai tise past. Outlines His Career $'To appreciate greatness, some greatness is necessar.y. I am handicapped isere. Tiien those wvho stand tao close ta tise picture sec onhy tise bru.sh marks. I have re-read wisat I wrote and here is a part af it: "Same ai aur readers down i Digby or out un tise frozen frontiers of tise Klondike may wonder where Bowmanville is. Well-it does nat nestle among. tise hills, boasts ai na bhood- stained battlefields Pnd suni- sets are no different there than out youm way. It just sits where it has sat for many generatians on a featumeless fringe ai Lake Ontario. A ceek and a derelict dock mark tise spot.

'Lilce hlm father befare hlm, he has been councillor, reeve and mayor of thse Town ai Bowmanvllle. He is affection- ately called by thse epîthel "The Old Grey Mayor." He has snow in his hair, but no frait in the heart. He is an at- tenuated Methodist (United Church now) and was Treas- tirer the job he took over tram bis îather. Had Varied Experience 'As a young man, Editor George James vislted the large American cities, there ta gain knowledge and experience. He is able without confusion ta paint out the distinction be- tween Caruso, Leftie Louie, Madame Schumann - Kelnk, Paderewski, Gyp the Blood, and others. He was an.athlete and kcen]y interested in sparts. He was thmee years goalie for the Ail Saints Soccer Tcami, and they won the Toronto city champianshi p as long as he was an it. H e was goalie also for Argonauts hockey team. 'He almost became a Doctor (legitimate). The University af Toronto actually had him. in- side., Shaw's Business College put the business buffer on him. The J. J. Gibbons Adver- tising A.gency had hlm for ai- mast thrc years. He was busi- ness manager af thse Brantford Daily Courier prior ta the Ex- positar amalgamation, but he came back ta Bowmanville. 'Like mast successful men Editor George James has no sidelines. Like tise pearl, he came up from the bottoin. Since a boy settîng up the quacks in six point type, lie bas stayed close ta the job. He is a hard worker. He wastes no time making faces at bis competitors. Wbenever possible he figuratively passes aut a kiss with a future in it. His circulation gains have been nmade by the process af peace- fui, penetration. He is less dis- tinguished for thse brilliart things he does than for the damn fool things be daes not do. 'He is genial, modest and frank. Not afraid ta cali a man a skinflint if he is anc. He has a charming wife and family and a beautiful country home. His organizatian is Ai."' "As a pastscript", Mr. Gully declared, "I see George in the penumbra of his pioneering father, M. A. James. They spoke flot with the mixed clarity and fuzzîness of thse aver-educated, but with thse gravel ai aur common speech they reared an enduring mon- ument ta the family's name. Let's give thse Doc thse 21 gun salute". Speech Warmly Received Mr. Gully's tribute ta Dr. James was receiv&çd with pro- longed applause by the Bow- manvilie jRotary Club members and their guests, and Rotarian Morley Vanstone expressed the thanks af the gathering ta the speaker. "This meeting honoring George James is ane af the meetings that should go down in the history of this club", Mr. Vanstane declared. "There is no anc wbo could have expressed aur feelings better than Harold Gully, and we thank him for doing sa". Dr. James expressed bis thanks ta Tom Wilson, Pub- lîsher and General Manager af the Oshawa Times-Gazette, for arranging tise meeting, and ta Rotarian George Maody for his part in it. "Tis has been a great moment in my lufe, and I appreciate it more than I can say,," he stated. "I owe a great deal ta Rotary, and At is anly fitting that this tribute shouid came at a Rotary meeting. In niy younger days, my partici- pation in Rotary activities gave me needed self-confidence, and I alsa have tried ta live up ta thse Rotary Motta, "Service Above Self". "I took me 10 years ta catch up ta my brother, Norman James, wbo was a Rotarian in spirit long before me. I had ta dig in ta catch up ta him in the matter af being of service ta others," Dr. James stated. Fred o. Wood Receives His 30 Year Pin Fred 0.
