Page Eight PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 30th, 1985 (Continued from front page) istered a very even handed justice. He was, moreover, an excellent teach- er. 1 graduated from the Public School to the High School which ne- cessitated a move of several yards in- to another classroom. The two schools adjoined each other and the remainder of my school education. was the responsibility of Mr. D. McBride, Principal of the High School. Never was there a finer school principal than the late Mr. McBride, who for forty years moulded the destines of the boyé of Port Perry High School. He is was who taught me Latin. He was a fine classical scholar and I remem- ber him with gratitude, affection and admiration, not only because of his scholarly intellect, not only because of the patience and the thoroughness with which he planted the first seeds of knowledge in the unformed minds of youth but also because of his splen- did qualities and character. The man himself was an inspiration. Port Perry indeed lost a great citizen with the death of Mr. McBride in 1927. The Jate Mr. McBride's daughter Minnte McBride is still living here. She is Mrs. Forman, the widow of Jim For- man. 1 wish to pay due tribute and high honour to the memory of Mr. George Stone, another of Pojt Perry's out standing citizens and an old teacher of mine. He, I recall, taught me mathematics and there was never a better teacher. LooKing back I can only hope that his teaching, as far as 1 was concerned, was as effective, as it certainly was efficient. I am glad to see his son Howard here to-day. And now I want to congratulate very heartily and sincerely all the citizens of Port Pery upon the ac- quisition of so fine and worthy a War Memorial as this Library. Very special thanks and praise are due to the members of the War Memorial Committee. Let me take this oppor- tunity to express on behalf of us ali --whether we be past or present citizens of Port Perry--our gratitude to the members of the I. O. D. E,, (Mrs. WW. H. Harris, Mrs. Purdy and more recently Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Rose.)--to the members of the Coun: cil (Mr. Letcher and Mr. Reesor)-- and to Mr. Levia and Dr. Lundy re presenting the Library Board--and to Mr. Samuel Farmer (to whom I am personally indebted in many ways) and Mr. Short as members of the Board of Trade and to the local Veterans of the Great War, I know too how deeply we regret the passing of Dr. S. J. Mellow who was an early member of the Committee. How much easier would have been the task of the Committee if the Carnegie Foundation had been at its disposal. But it was in 1915 that funds from the foundation for the erection of libraries were withdrawn. It speaks volumes for the determina- tion and zeal of the citizens of Port Perry who have rallied to the support of the War Memorial Committee that no difficulties have been permitted to prevent the erection of a library which will not only be a most worthy and_ enduring memorial to those who| died, but which will remain with you also as a permanent gift to the living whether they, be old or young, rich or poor, This is a happy occasion. Not only is Port Perry associated in my mind with all those personal memories of which I have spoken but I know of no duty T would rather perform and no function or ceremony I would rather: attend than this of opening this splendid library. A library can be compared to many library to that of unlocking the doors of a mansion filled with treasure. And the beauty of such a thought is im- measurably heightened by the simple fact--a fact perhaps, too simple to be always appreciated--that the pearls of thought, the jewels of speech and the fine gold of wisdom contained. in such a mansion are free to all men to possess and make their own, But, ladies and gentlemen, so much has been said and written about books, without, of course, diminishing their limitless interest or impairing even a little their eternal powers of inspiration that in opening this Lib- rary I must be content to leave with you but one thought concerning books --a thought which scems to me to embrace all others. For, while it is true that books measure and hold within their span the height of man's aspirations and the breadth of his achievements; while most certainly and enduringly they contain between their covers all life mirrored in the mind of men; and while they are the priceless repositories for all the legacies of wit and understanding, oi imagination and beauty and know- ledge bequeathed to us by the great- est of men, yet I would rather that they should be regarded as the most faithful of friends and the most charming and diverting of compan- ions. When, in days like these, the world all too frequently seems to be a place of doubt and fear and darkness and discontent; when all too many, men and women sit in enforced idleness, conscious only that in some way their lives have been despoiled of many precious desirable things; and when, perhaps, the cold hand of despair touches them or the hot hand of re- sentment makes them smart in angry impotence it is then that the words of a wise man of old, Thomas A. Kempis may come to them with a very special force--"In omnibus re- quiem quaesivi sed non invenit nisi in angulo cum libello." "Lverywhere have I sought peace and nowhere have I found it save in a corner with a book." I know that the citizens of Port Perry will find in this Library an en- richment of their personal and cor- porate life. It has been said that "of the making of books there is no end" but although my subject is end- less there is no reason why my dis- cussion of it should be likewise with- out end. I have said but a few of the many things that can be said concern- ing books and libraries. I have been led to make these few remarks be- cause of all the pleasant memories which cluster around the town of Port Perry and because on such an aus- picious occasion as this I want to con- gratulate its citizens upon the acqui- sition of so splendid a symbol of the spirit of progress so characteristic of them, and the determination they manifest that the cultural life of this community shall not be neglected. It is with the greatest pleasure that I declare this library open. Unveiling the War Memorial At the conclusion. of the address: by Dr. Bruce, the "Book of Remem- brance" was taken. from the pedestal where it had been resting under the Union Jack, and presented by Samuel I'armer to Rev. T. A. Nind for dedi- cation. The following was the ad- dress of presentation: I present to you this Book of Re- membrance for dedication. It con- tains the record of the sacrifice and things. Its uses are infinite, its pur- poses are numberless and the benefits! it brings to any community are great, satisfying and lasting to a degree, perhaps, beyond that conferred by! any other agency ministering to the mind and spirit of man. If, for example, you choose to think of books as the weapons of thought by which ignorance is vanquished then this library is an armoury. Men' and women and even little children will come here to arm themselves with knowledge. That is a supremely wise thing to do. It is, indeed, the' very wisest thing they can do in a world where the counterclaims of ten! thousand theories distract the mind, | so that men everywhere ery "What can I think? What ought I to think? In this Babel of loud, emphatic voices proclaiming across the world the virtues of their economic or philo- sopic wares which should I believe? Which of them all speaks the truth? In the quiet of a library the deeply pondered answers of great men to many such questions are to be found. By studying them the mind is strong- tened, armed, equipped, to face the problems of the day more calmly, more confidently and, I trust, more tolerantly. Or, in rather more poetic fancy one I War, service of the soldiers and nurses who took part in the Great War from Port Perry, Reach and Scugog. TForty- four of them paid the supreme sacri- fice. Twenty-two have died since the One hundred and ninety-eight are stil with us. The Book also contains a brief resume of the part taken by Ontarlo County in the Great War. Rev. Mr. Nind then offered the dedicatory prayer and the Book was handed to Dr. Bruce who in turn handed it to Major General Mac- Brien, who unveiled the Memorial niche and placed the Book therein. - ee -- It might be noted that the "Book of Remembrance" is a home pro- duct except for the binding, and it has been greatly admired by all who have seen it. The bronze niche, is a fitting receptacle for the Book. It will be worth your while to go into the Library to see this beautiful War Memorial. After Major General MacBrien had unveiled the niche and deposited the Book, the school children, (who had been standing most patiently through the ceremonies), sang three numbers under the direction of Miss Florence McMillan, concluding with "O Can- ada" in which the people joined. The children sang well, Then the relatives of the deceased soldiers were introduced to the Lieut- Governor by Mrs. A. H. Rose and Mrs. Geo. Woods, who led them into the Library where they remained while the Veterans filed in and saluted the War Memorial. After this ceremony the general public had an opportunity to view 'the Library and the Memorial. A reception followed and the great event was concluded. NOTES The presence of the contingent from the 84th Ontario Regiment add- ed greatly to the effectiveness of the parade. The following officers were in charge: Major Pearson, Major Hanning, Capt. Tosland, M.C., Capt. Currell, Lieut. Butt, Lieut. Gieke, Lieut. Lowe. Major Pearson was director of ceremonies, * & *% In the inspection of the Guard of Honour the Lieut.-Governor was ac- companied by Major Pearson; and in the inspection of the Veterans he was accompanied by Sergt.-Major Hayden.
