THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMAN VILLE, ONTARIO The valedictorian at Higlh Scbool Commencement Exercises, Miss Editb White, daughter af Mr. and Mrs. Evertan White, Betbesda, deiivered ber address befare a capacity audience Fni- day night. Miss White received ber graduation diploma, Wed- ncsday evening, and ber bigh academic standing was attestcd by the fact that she won six first prizes of the total of six awarded for Upper Scbaal academic sub- jects, and another first for stu- dents writing the best essay in the scbool. Edith is now taking a secretarial course at a business callege in Toronto. Rer valedic- tory follows: Mr. Chairman, guests, members of the staff and students of Bow- manville Rigb Scbaol: I deem it a singular privilege to be tbe one cbosen ta convey ibis valedictary address from the 1942- 43 graduating class of Bowman- ville Higb Scbool. This is in- tended ta be a personal farewell message from eacb member of tbat class and it will be ta speak for tbemn individuially wbcn I say that since leaving tbis sehool many memories of the five years spent bere bave came flooding back. Tbey were five years of pleasure, of study, of special joys and minor disappointments; five years of gloriaus carefree youtb and of stimulating friendsbîps. Tbey were years notbing cisc cauld replace and years wbicb few of us wba have experienced tbem wauld be willing ta forgo. During that time we were priv- ileged ta be under the guidance of aur principal, Mr. Dippeil, and his capable staff. Their fine ex- ample of understanding, willing- ness ta help us tbrougb aur youtbful difficulties, their en- couragement and appreciation of aur efforts ta do aur best and per- baps most important their ability ta transport ta us, nat only tbe content of the text-book, but also ta instil in us those intangible qualities of a fine character, bas bappens ta be an e nterprising mess secretary or messing officer open up vistas of other wanlds1 whence refreshing and bracing breezes wili stream upon your minds and souls."1 Toronto's Lengthening Days Topie Durham Club Address, set us a splendid example wbicb should bave left its indelible im- print upon aur lives. And yet no memaries of tbis scbool would becamplete witb- out recalling the many social and sports activities we sbamed and en- joyed. We can look back with a tbrill of pride and excitement ta, the many rugby and basketball games. They were higblights of interest in aur scbool life and served ta make us realize the im- portance of fricndly competition and faim plaý not anly in aur sports but in ah aour wark. Thea aur scbool dances, form parties, and aur itcrary pragrams pro- vided us witb many boums of pleasant recreation and helped us ta become better acquainted witb eacb ather. This was an in- dispensable part of aur education as it is of every student's and I hope you present students will receive as mucb benefit and en- joymeat fom it as we did. You wbo are graduates are doubtless realizing as I arn that this is the last schoal event in wbich we shahl be pivileged ta participate. For us, this is the termination of an epocb of youtb, the breaking up of a wonted oc- cupation or style of living, the apportunity for the finding of new tics and new work. Some of us are following stili furtber the roads of education; others are ai- ready fcnding for tbcmselves; wbile many of the boys of aur class are serving witb the armed forces. New experiences await us all-experiences wbich will teacb us the acceptance of esponsibil- ity, the realization that we are neyer real sufferers but by aur own faults, and the meaning and the appreciatian of aur education. This appreciation becomes even deeper and mare sincere when we emember that there are aver a billion people la ibis world wbo can neither read nom write. It is sbocking ta us wba take education so for granted ta tbink that sucb conditions exist. This is a dark page in the world's history and a seriaus threat to the security of the future. One of the world's great teachers bas written: "No nation can ise bigber than its masses, and until these masses, the world's richest undeveloped resources, are developed througb education - until the people are taught ta participate tbemnselves in their own reconstruction world leaders can cry peace! peace! but there will be no peace. Mass cdu- cation will make every man a complete man, and when be bas reached that stage, be is the bro- ther of every other man. I bumbly believe the world needs this education for world demac- racy, for peace. Then not only we bave the Four Fredams, but the Fifth Feedam-tbe greatest of ahl without which we cannat bave the ather four - Freedom from Ignorance." Ia these great words there cames ta us a challenge wbicb was further expressed by Madame Chiang Kai-Sbek when she said: "Christ taugbt us ta belp aur less fortunate fellow being, ta work and strive for their betterment without ever deceiving ourselves and others by pretending that tragedy and ugliness do not exist. Selfisbness and camplacency in the past have made us pay dearly in terms of human misery and suffering." In -a world so small that the most remote district is but sixty flying boums fromn your nearest airpqrt and in a world 50 closely linked that communications witb any country can be made in a few boums it is essential that ahl na- tions be an a basis of equality wbich can came anly fromn the equal education of their peoples. This can be and shahl be. It is anc of the "musts" of our recon- struction plans. And in conclusion, I leave this message with you ail, and par- ticularly wîtb ,you, the students. "I wisb yau, by the aid of educa- tion, ta be able ta look beyond your own lives and bave the pleasure in surraundings differ- cnt fromn thase in whicb you1 move. I want yau ta be able ta sympathize witb ather limes, ta be able ta understand mca and wamen of other cauntries, and ta have the intense enjoyment of mental changes of scene. I do not only want yau ta know dry facts. I want the beart ta be stirred as well as the intellect. I want you ta be intmaduced ta wider and1 nobler fields of lhaugbts and ta Valedictory Address Given At B. H. S. Commencement Weddings POLLEY-BROWN A quiet wedding was solemniz- cd in St. John's Anglican Church, Nov. 27, when Eileen Elizabeth Brown, R.C.A.F., daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Brown of Ram- burg, New York, became the bride of AC2 Walter Polley, R.C.A.F., Bowmanville, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Polley. Canon C. R. Spen- cer performed the ceremony. The bride wore a street-length dress of light turquoise wool with cor- sage of white carnations and brown accessaries. Mrs. William Polley, wearing turquoise and corsage of carnations, with black accessaries, was the bride's matron of bonor. Sgt. William Polley was the best man. Follow- ing the ceremany a receptian was beld at Mrs. Wm. Palley's. After the war the couple will reside in Bowmanville. POLLEY-CLAPP St. John's Anglican Church, Bawmanville, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Nov. 19, wben Doris Mary, daughter of Pte. and Mrs. Edwin Clapp, Bowmanville, became the bride of Sgt. William Polley, Mount Joli, Que., son of Mr. and Mrs. George Polley, Baw- manville. Canon C. R. Spencer performed the ceremony and Mrs. J. A. Gunn presided at the argan. The cburcb was beautifully de- corated with taîl standards of mums and pink and white baby mums on the alter. The bride was given in mar- niage by her father. She looked charming in a white satin gown brocaded witb loyers' knots and lily of the valley, fasbioned with sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice, long full sîceves and bouffant skirt witb train. Her full length veil of bridal net fell fram a sweetbeart halo. She carried a bridal bouquet of pink and white mums. Miss Vera Clapp, cousin of the bride, was ber only attend- ant. Hem gawn was of blue sheer fashioned with round neckline edged with smocking, long full siceves; and bouffant skirt. Rer bead-dress was a wreath of blue velvet petals with matching shoulder length veil, and she car- ried white and pink mums. Mr. Douglas Taylor was best man for his brother. The reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. Mrs. Clapp chose for ber daugbter's wedding a navy sheer frock with grey accessories. The groom's mother wore a navy crepe dress with navy bat and white acces- sories. Their corsages were of pink and white baby mums. For a wedding trip ta points west, the bride changed ta a red wool ensemble with grey coat and matcbing accessories. Fallawing tbe wedding trip the groom returned ta bis unit at Halifax. The bride will reside with ber parents. Soldiers' Letters Extracts from letters received by Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Sleman from their son, Capt.

We bave moved about a lot lately and at present are in a fairly nice building wbich un- fortunately bas tbe roof full of bales. It is the best building in the city at tbat-talk about de- struction, London was neyer like this. Rowever the lights came on a few days ago and we expect tbe water on any day. I flew back ta Catina the other day with some cases I bad dane. It is a grand town now-so dif- ferent than it was whcn we were there. It is almost like peace- time except the shop shelves were pretty bare. I stayed a couple days then flew back. It is a relatively quiet time now and we can flit about a bit. The trouble is no anc knows wbcn the quiet time is going ta end. Wc bad a severe sbock yestcr- day. Wc heard that Ken Eden, the O.C. of aur unit, bad died of polio. He was only sick 2 or 3 days. I don't know wbat's going ta bappen ta us now. Re was a very brilliant surgeon and would bave made bis name known hati he livcd. The weatber bas turned much colder and we are now in battle drcss. I'm afraid it's gaing ta be a cold, cold winter-Italy, es- pecially wbcn we get farthem nortb as I think we will vcry soon. The trouble is that the bouses that (By Elsie R. Faim) The Durham Caunty Club of Toronto met at the I.O.DtË. bead- quartems Tbursday evening, No- vember 25th. President Gea. W. McGili greeted -the many new Durbamites present, but feelingly referred to the great loss recently sustained by the sudden passîng of Mrs. Frank Tebilcock whose cbamm, and wise assistance, bad heen of inestimable value for many years. Secretary Wallace Maas, read a note of appreciation fmom Dr. Frank Trebilcock for the kind me- membrance of the Club in bis great sarraw, remarking that "Old friends are best." A prayer of Remembrance was offered hy Rev. Chas. D. Jeffery. In the absence of Mm. Dan Lin- den tbrougb illness, the Club was fortunate in baving Mrs. Madge Parker sing a number of selec- tians, accompanied by M i s s Bertha Tamblyn, keeping this part of aur pragmam up ta its usual standard. These amtists weme tbanked by Mm. A. W. Mc- Lcod. Mm. Edwin C. Guillet, M.A., well known Canadian bistorian and teacher, introduced the sub- ject of the evening, a remarkable screen production la Technicolor by Dr. L. B. and Mrs. Williams entitled "Toronto's Lengtbening Days." Mm. Guillet most interestingly tld of tbe ealy trading posts and settiements from the moutb of the Humber River ta the Georgian Bay area, much of wbicb was kinown 200 years ago as "Toronto" or the "Place of Plenty." Fort Rouelle or Fart Toronto bcing built by the French in 1750 near the present Humber Bridge at the lake shore, soon after was de- stroyed by the Indians, and me- built a mile furtber east at the present Exhibition grounds. Ia 1756, before sumrendering the area ta the British, the Fart was destroyed by orders of the French Governor, and about 30 years later a British settiement took farm, that througb variaus vicissitudes, as in the war of 1812, became known as York, until 1834 wben the City of Toronto witb a population of 12,000 was bora, which in the past century bas grown ta its present proportions. Dr. L. B. Williams then added mucb interesita b is splendid panorama of Toronto's bistary by lucid commeats regamding the views presented, since the days wbea a pianeer's idea of social security was a log cabin, shat-gun, bag of flour, barrel of mapie syrup, side of park and bealtb. Today we are rather cbagrined if by any miscbance the flow of aur supply of luxury is interrupt- cd. Ia clasing bis lecture the doctar fittiagiy reminded bis at- tentive audience of the words of Cicero, "For a man ta be ignorant of wbat happened la bis country and cammunity befare bis birth, is ta be always a cbild." Ex-Mayor W. D. Robins fitting- ly moved a hearty vote of lhanks ta the speakers, taking occasion who wili take the trouble ta go int the country and buy tbings, the food is excellent. We've bad turkey dinners sevemail imes late- ly, but the fruit bas ail dried up. The ains are here in camnest and are holding up aperatians. It is tumning much colder and we are ail in battie dress and using tbree blankets at nigbt. I dont know what il will be like wben winter camnes, living in tbese places tbat bave no windows and same of tbem no roofs. On Suadays in these Italian and Sicilian tawns the behis of the churches start clanging about 5 a'ciock in tbc marniag and it goes on ail day. Il is a very disagree- able saund-just as if a black- smith were bammerng bis anvil -nothing like aur cburcb beils. Cauld you send me some papers -any kind, as long as tbey are Canadian? I'm lasing track of everytbing. I met Gregory Clark of The Toronto Star the other day on a plane, and we bad quite a cbin-wag. I've bad no mail for a long lime whicb is, I suppose, inevitable, because we are mav- ing fram unit ta unit. It will al catch up some day. Sa long for now, Love toalah, HAROLD. Obituary MRS.
