"I have had the pleasure of. see- ing the handsome medal 'which which has just been presented to our young townsman. from the Royal Humane Association," and I find that the inscription reads, as follows; Awarded to Harold Archer for courage in the "rescue of Dhel Purdy and Earl Whiteway 'from drowning jn LakeScugog, Decem- ber 1903." EE, Tw "Though some time has elapsed since the brave deed was done, the event is still fresh in your memories. Two of our young eople (Miss Purdy and Mr, hiteway) were out skating, sud- denly the ice gave way and they fell into the freezing water, Earl Whiteway held his partner up, but both were so utterly cold' that | there was grave danger that they would sink. Harold Archer who with a friend was skating near saw the danger, sent his parrner for further help, and himself went to the rescue, The ice was thin, but with coolness and good sense, our young hero stretched himself full length upon the ice and pushed his hockey stick out to the couple in the water that they might get a firmer hold. The hockey stick was a great help, but the inspir- ation and encouragement which Haiold gave were a much greater help. That encouragement put new life and hope into them, and where exhaustion and cold would doubtless have caused the loss of one or perhaps two lives, both were saved by the physical and mental courage of fhe young man wha has this night been awarded the bronze medal for bravery. . We are proud of the spirit that expresses itself with courage. We are proud of the spirit that in spite of danger only sees a duty to be done, and willl take no excuse of self interest. We are proud of bravery, but if anything we are more proud of the good Judgmeat and coolness which was linked to the unflinching courage. Far too many people blunder in the time of danger. Their minds re- fuse to work quickly. They are brave but they are excited. They have courage, but they have not knowledge. It is this combination of good sense and noble spirit which we do well to cultivate. It is this combination of alertness of mind and body which the Royal Humane Association are fostering when. they present medals to those who distinguish themselves by unusual bravery in times of great physical danger. The medal may have but little intrinsic worth but it possesses a value that can- not be purchased by money. We 'are proud of our townsman, and trust that-he will treasure the yir- tues that have been publicly re- cognized to-night. We trnst that when occasion arises we may never lack in'our community those who are willing and able to save. that the education of our young is 1 fog in times of danger, from lack of knowledge: A number of the councillors and other gentlemen were called on and spoke y: | First Class Farm FOR SALE -. ort Satta ior : containing 1: with a n- the Royals | Humane Association.
