Dr. M. B..-Dymond, a resident of Port Perry for many years, and always a de- voted servant, whether it be through - his profession, or as a keen and con- scientious citizen of this village, de- serves a great deal of credit and admira- tion for his accomplishments. His many friends in Port Perry and the surrounding communities, we are sure, will also he happy to join with the Star in- extending congratulations and best wishes to a popular physician, poli- tician, and last, but not least, a sincere friend. Printed below is the context of a beautiful citation presented to Dr. Dy- mond on the occasion of his admittance to the degrée of Doctor of Laws, by Dr. G. Edward Hall, vice chancellor of Western University, London Ontario: MATTHEW BULLOCH DYMOND The wealth of a nation is indubitably linked with the health of its people. Un- deniably the Honourable Dr. Dymond, as Minister of Health has been one of the great architects in creating a pat- tern of health services which not only has enhanced the health of.the people of this Province but their well-being and prosperity as well. With a dedicated concern for people 1867 And All That It's only a hundred years ago and there are still a few Canadians living who were alive then. But the Canada of 1867 and the Canada of today are as worlds apart. A partial list of some of the more obvious aids to modern living which" were not available to the Canadians of 1867 would read as follows: Tap water; plumbing; electricity; central heating; telephones; refrigera- tors; air conditioning; movie theatres; automobiles; streetcars or buses; radio; television, and that T'wentieth Cenury wonder, the Department Store, com- pete with charge-plate. There were also, of course, no pen- sions, family allowances, unemployment insurance or workmen's compensation. Schools and railways were beginning to put in an appearance but they were few and far between and unkown to much of the population. How well would the Canadians of to- day adopt to the environment of 18677.

And the field of educa- tion has felt the impact of this discerning - gentleman with his delightful and dis- arming manner and his honest enthu- siasm. He long ago recognized that the effectiveness of health services is con- tingent upon the quality and the quan- tity of those who must perform those services. Instrumental in gaining gov- ernment support for the construction of greatly expanded health science educa- - tional facilities together with the ex- tensive programme of new hospital con- struction, Dr. Dymond has given dyna- mic leadership in the maintenance of health and the care of the handicapped, the mentally ill and the sick. Mr. Chancellor, it is with great plea- sure that I request you on hehalf of the Senate to admit to the degree of Doctor of Laws; honoris causa, Matthew Bul- lock Dymond--the one-time immigrant boy who still has lost neither his High- land tongue nor his inimitable sense of humour. ~ Litterbugs Unite! ~ Perhaps it sounds dull and common- place to suggest that one of our Cen- ~ tennial projects be that of outdoor housekeeping, but consider for a mom- ent: To say that Canada is a beautiful country; that its urban and rural com- munities, its highways and its byways, its vacation places and its waters have all been blessed by a bountiful nature-- to say these things is not to indulge in cliches.

Would they think they had builded well? Would they swell with pride over the nation that has emerged? Would they look with awe on what has been accomplished? Or would they cry, as with one voice, "Lemme outa here! What have you done to our glorious Dominion?" The physical changes in those 10 tiny de- "cades, a flea-bite in the human span, would surely impress them. The vast towers of steel and concrete in our cities; the ribbons of road and rail that span the continent; the St. Lawrence' Seaway. And surely they would be thrilled by the vast technological leap made since they stood together for that stiff portrait in Charlotte: town. They would be dazzled by the simple $3.25; Men's Felt Hats $1.00, 'Mr. James Howard Bart. ley was united in marriage with Miss Alice Hannah, Raglan. Rev. W. J. West, Port Perry, officiated. Mr. A.

A miscellaneous shower was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Howsam for their daughter Lorna. 10 YEARS AGO Thursday, January 17, 1957 ----Mr. S. E. Beare was elect- ed chairman of the Port Perry Public School Board for 1957, succeeding Dr. C. MacMaster, who has held the position for two years. - Miss, Marie Taylor was elected President of the Port Perry Service Club. Mr. Bill Harrison, had a painful accident on Tuesday. While refereeing a hockey game in Woodville, he caught his skate in a crack in the ice. The leg was so badly twisted that it was broken in three places.

Miss Muriel Lamb, Man- chester was home from Pet- erboruogh for the week-end. modern mine, and gone up in a chairlift at Jasper, and faced annihilation in a Montreal cab, and groped for their drink in a gloomy cocktail lounge? Behind the glittering playthings, would they really find much change in the country? Not at this time of year, anyway. It would be still a shambling geographical monster, buried in white, tail turned to the north wind. Only a sprinkling of lights, a few curls of smoke, and 'a few ants crawling about would suggest it was not straight out of the ice ages. And if Sir John A. and his fellows lifted that familiar blanket of white and peered under it, "would they be surprised and de- lighted by what they saw? Would they per- ceive a mature, virile, independent people proudly proving that the twentieth century "belongs to Canada? One look would reveal a material prosperity and' comfort beyond their dreams. But it would show that a lot of other things they were familiar with had not changed or im- proved in 100 years. Fear of the U.S, cor facts of electric light and power, flight by - ruption in high places, French and English jetliner," radio, television, the telephone, the automobile, oil-heating, air-conditioning, and a thousand other things we take for granted. But how would they feel about the country they created after the fancy wrapping came off the toys? After they'd seen the Toronto City Hall, and flown across the country in a few hours, and plunged into the bowels of a Canadians wrangling, dirty fighting at Ottawa, the taxpayers being bribed with their own money, the rich getting richer and the poor getting children: a familiar world to The Fathers. : But the sorrow might change to horror when they looked beyond the familiar things and saw that the healthy-looking body was riddled Fi A IY ids 4 E Lan 7 with disease. The pollution of air and water would make them furibus. The soaring rate of divorce, drug addiction; tomosexualism, al- coholism would appall them. The number of dead on the highways each year would sicken them. The power of huge monopolies would frighten them. And the apathy of the aver. age, well-fed Canadian would disgust them. No, we'd have to divert their attention quickly, and turn it to other things that would dazzle them. Perhaps they'd be impressed 'by -some of our great cultural traditions, 'devel- oped since their time. Like the Grey Cup Game, when the punks and the drunks take over. Or Hockey Night in Canada, one of our great national customs, when this entire, sprawling nation is linked together into a warm, friendly group of idiots, rising as one man to fetch another beer when the commer. cial comes on, ) Maybe they'd enjoy a tour of one of our new atomic energy plants? But I wonder what they'd think of the pictures of Hiro- shima? " : We could tell them what we did in the two great wars. But one look at the tax bill for defense would give them apoplexy. And so it would go. Personally, I think that after the initial novelty wore off, Sir John A. and The Fathers, more in sorrow than in anger, would return to where they came from, without ever taking a look back.
