After deputy-reeve Joe Dowson had introduced Dr. | Dymond, he told the -audi- ence that his first call after he opened an office in Port Perry was to Scugog Island." Dr. Dymond's speech was based on the great progress made during 100 years since .across the front door of the Confederation, not only by the nation, but also in the Township of Scugog. Progress has been made in all facets of life, the Doctor said, and as an example he compared the old plank roads built by the early settlers and the great highways such as 401 stretching for 600 miles. From pine torches & tallow candles to electricity, and the first nuclear power plant built in Canada. But in spite of all the pro- gress made by man during these years, he has not learn- ed to control himself, and learned to live at peace with each other, Dr. Dymond said. He also strongly empha- sized the importance of a thorough education for Can- 'ada's young people, in spite of the high cost. "We dare not fail them, and must start them on the strongest pos- sible way," he said. Before cutting the ribbon new addition, Dr. Dymond complimented the Township council on the fine building, and said, "what better pro- ject could have been chosen than make the local govern- ment a focal point" In the old hall, an inter- esting and varied display of antiques collected among the Island residents was open to the public.
