AGE SIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1931 FRIENDSHIP FOUNTAINS UNVEILED Many Distinguished Per- sons' Present at Open. ing Ceremony Montreal, June 2.--An object lesson in international amity which will not soon he forgotten was carried out on MeGill cam- us Friday afternoon when His ixeellency, Right Hon. Earl of Bessborough unveiled and offi- cially accepted on behalf of the university the goodwill fountain presented by a long list of dis tinguished citizens of the Unit- ed States. The spokesman for the U.S. at the function yesterday was Dr. John Finley, an honor graduate of McGill and editor-in- chief of the New York Times. The ceremony had as its setting the glass-clad bowl immediately in front of the left half of the Arts Building. There on a plat- form set up for the occasion the first citizen of Canada, represent- atives from the United States and leading university officials paid tribute to the goodwill and friend- ship existing on both sides of an invisable boundary for more than | 100 years. Debt to U.S. McGill University's special rea- son for gratitude to the United States was expressed by Bir Arthur Currie, who stated that *'it is im- possible to say how much we owe to two great foundations of fhe United States--the Rockefeller and the Carnegie Foundations." The attitude of the United Sta- tes towards Canada was set forth in scholarly terms by Dr. Finley, who spoke in part as follows. "T have the distinguished honor of presenting on behalf of the committee of representatives citi- zens of the United States this sou- venir of our neighborly love for Canada. If nations, as well as in- dividuals, were enjoined to love their neighbors as themselves we should not find it difficult to keep this second great commandment with Canada as the neighbor though it is usually easier to love a neighbor who dwells at a dis- tance than one just the other side of an invisible fence.

The sculptor, Mrs, Harry Payne Whitney, to our deepest re- gret, cannot on account of illness be present today, but has motion. ed the marble to speak our perpet- ual praise to you, and she has sent a representative in her place of a beautiful daughter, Mrs Henry, Cross of Honor . "Three years ago you of Canada own skies into ours by setting up own skies into our hy setting up in Arlington a cross of homer in memory of the Americans who gave their lives in Canadian ser- vice during the Great War, hefore we entered. When the terrific loss. es which Canada suffered are re- membered, this generous, grate- ful act becomes significant of something deeper than that grati- tude which rears a monument over those whe found a certain sweetness in dying for one's own country. "Those of our own countrymen who joined the ranks of your men who gave more sacrificially, were like the Athenian dead at Plataey who hastened to set the crown of freedom on their Hellas ag ours with yours, sought to set it on the whole world. This eross stands not only as an added "weight of glory" to those of our vanguard in the war, but as an added symbol of friendship which ties these two nations more closely togbther. Symbol of Friendship "And now we bring to you this symbol) of continuing friendship. The fountains of youth have been traditionally sought in the topics or sub-topies, but they actually flow where man has to struggle with hard Nature, As peace em- braces the earth, it will be more and more the struggle with Natue that must furnish those virtues which war once furnished in men, And we may expect thé race's highest development where that struggle, though severe, is still hopeful and eager. "It has been said that the youth of America is our cldest tradition. But that tradition fades intgp the common light of middle age as we contemplate the youthful vigor and cnterprise of you, our north- ern neighbor, now become an in- dependent nation in a federated commonwealth of, states. "I have advanced the theory that civilization, which has travel- led mainly along the highways built by the lines of latitude or detouring isotherms, will in the coming centuries reach dorthward and southward along the meridans of longtitude. We shall draw more heavily from the topics for our food hut we shall look more and more to the north for the develop- ment and preservation of the hardy manhood which conqu¥fs rather than adapts. "The Greeks used to throw gar- lands and other objects of beauty and praise into the streams of Al- phaeus that they might re-appear in the fountains of Sicily as of- ferings at the feet of Arethusa. This fountain in the mid#t of this campus will be constantly bear- ing the offering of goodwill and praise that we would lay at the feet of Canada." Sir Arthur Currie, in a brief ad. dress at the beginning of the eere- mony, set forth the purpose of the function, concluding with a warm tribute to Dr. Finley, "crusader of peace among nations, poet, journ. alist, dreamer of dreams and prac- tical toiler who gives his dreams reality, friend of Canada, and in- terpreter of his country to yours and mine. Sir Arthur Replies. "We are assembled here this af- ternoon," Sir Arthur said in part, "for an interesting and important function, the acceptange, on behalf of the university, by His Excel- lency the Governor-General, visi- tor to McGill of a gift which ex- presses in enduring stone the deep and lasting friendship and mutual high regard of the people of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. "This gift--the fountain about to be unveiled--is the work of Gertrude Vanderbiit Whitney, whose fame as a sculptress fis known to the world, The design and the work are hers; the mag- | nanimous idea underlying the gift is hers, and [ am sure we all look upon this sacred idea of friend- ship and peace with enthusiasm and sympathy. This fountain was to have been unveiled and dedica- ted many months ago, but events intervened to delay the ceremony. We are all mindful today of the circumstances which resulted in postponement and in all our hearts there is deep regret that he who in life was the companion of the distinguished sculptress if not here today to see the unveiling of the child of her brain. He fis with us in spirit to speak to us words of peace amd goodwill, "This splendid memorial of the friendship of two great nations-- children of two great nations-- sponsored by a committée repre- sentative United States citizens who are proud of our past récord of harmony and who have faith in our future of peace." At the conclusion of this ad- dress, Dr. Finley officially presént- | ed the fountain on behalf of the committee of United States eiti- zens sponsoring the gift. Bir Arthur then welcomed a second time to McGill the Earl of Bess- Local Ford Dealers COX MOTOR SALES 10 Bond Street West Phone 924 HE borough, who as the oficial visi- tor of the unjversity accepted the friendship gift and them gave it over to the eustody of university officials, GOvernor Speaks "As visitor of McGill pleasure en behalf of the uiver- sity," His Excellency stated, "in accepting this fountain in t spirit in which it is offered and charge the Vice-Chancellor to have it in his safe-keeping." With these words of acceptance the flags of Canada and the Unit- ed States, which had hitherto veil- ed the monument, were drawn aside and the three figures repre. senting youth and vigor 3t0od re- vealed. Sir Arthur in his accoptancs ad- dress, said: "I need not say how very gradly and proudly we accept | this gift, so solemnly committed to our care, We believe that there is no place where such a gift gould be more properly placed thin at McGill. McGill is an educational institution, and I hope, will al- ways remain a sept of learning. Education stands for these princi- les of friendship and understand- ng, to the sacredness of which this gift of Mrs. Whitney's bears witness. At McGill we have always had very close and friendly rela. tions with many United States in- stitutions. "It is impossible, for me to say how much we owe to two great foundations of the United States-- the Rockefeller and the Carnegie foundations. Members of our fac- ulties keep in very close contact with their brothers in the United States. We have in our own way tried to give evidence to this feel ing of friendship. Many eof our graduates are now in the United States, living and laboring there, filling very important positions in the educational and the commer- cial and the professional life of that country. At the same time many Americans are living in our country, filling very important posiions here and helping greatly in the development of our land. All these are upholding in their everyday life the ideals for which the Whitney Fountain stands. Miss Ballon Praised . "Before closing, I would like to make due acknowledgement to one of these graduates, one of our own, Miss Ellen Ballon, who won her first scholarship for music at our own conservatorium, and whe has since, by her talents, won a very enviable place in the musi- cal world not only in Canada but in the United States and though- TIMETABLE| osHAWA, BO BOWMANVILLE Week § Bay le (Effective on and after April 1 1b, 1931) (Daylight 3 Savas TH West Prin Arrive Oshawa Whithy 7.05 7.20 a.m, 8.20 am, 9,05 a.m, , 10.45 am, . 12.28 pam. i 2.00 pm, 2.15 pam, 3.30 p.m, 5.3 pm, 6.30 pom, 6.45 pm, .m, 8.00 pm, . 10.15 p.m, 10.30 p.m, .m, 12.15 am are through busses to WHITBY, Arrive Jaave Hospital Bowmanville * a FP NhAtls «Ow Times marked Whitby Hospital Going East Leave wiihy of » Atrive it hit awa Bowmanv! ua 6.30 a. 50 7.20 a.m, SUNDAY AND HOLIDAY SCHEDULE eat Leave ve Arrive Bowmanville Siiown Wiithy 00 a.m, 88 » 3 Eas Es 38828 vvee? g33:23 a » < - i £ g Spoanid SRASABR HY » §eRINNES for, il Oc "efi nd € Sn, PACPAI £70 BOWMANVILLE, NpHON 12 or Ross Oshawa Waitag R Yoom, 10 Bs Street hone 2283 GRAY COACH LINES fective April 20th, (Eastern Standard Tims) - Sox ata sssss88383 a=Daily "except Sunday. biagatud ay, Sundays pf) Holidays only, unday only.

Tt consisted of 15 pompous, ancient coaches, rich- | ly ornamented, on high creaking wheels and towed by modern au- | tomobhiles. They were moved hy special royal order from the old palace of | Haga near StockhqQlm into new quarters in the horse-guard bar- | racks on the oposite side of the! town. The picturesque little pal-| ace, reposing for centuries amongst the old trees of the Ha-| ga Park on the edge of a smiling | bay, formerly was the favorite; haunt of King Gustavus III.

WOMAN CLAIMS DIVORCE OBTAINED BY FRAUD Montreal, June ' 2.-- Two docu- ments which Sophie Stern signed 23 years ago in Chicago at the re- quest of her husband, under the misapprehension that they had something to do with the purchase of a small business but later turned out to he divorce papers, are being attacked by her- in the Superior | Court. Tuesday morning, Mr. Jus- tice Cousineaun authorized her to take an action in the courts to set aside the divorce pronounced by the Chicago court in 1908, In the summer of 1908, Mrs. Stern said, she was living in Montreal with her husband who was keeping a small store. They had moved to St. Jerome for a time and while there her husband suggested that they should go with their two child- ren on a holiday trip to Chicago, she said, In September, 1908 they were in Chicago and her husband pretending that he wanted to buy a small business induced her to go before a lawyer and sign two pap- ers, the contents of which were un- known to her because she was un- able to read English, Shortly after she signed the pap- ers, her husband suggested that she had better return to Montreal, Mrs. Stern declared, which she 'did. Some two weeks later he arrived back in Montreal. but did not come to see her and their children. He did, however, go to her father and brother-i -in-law. and inform them that he had divorced her in Chicago. In Novembhgr, 1908, she continued she had had her husband arrested for non-support, but the complaint was dropped when he promised to return to her and support his fam- ily. Instead of keeping his prom- ise, not to return for 16 years, On his return she again had him arrested for non-support, and he was con- demned to eight days in jail. She now asks the courts to declare that the divotce was illegal, having been obtained by fraud and in a court which had no jurisdiction over the parties concerned. A milliner has labelled her creations, "The Last Word." Every woman wants to have that.

ES (I HOW TWO FAR-SEEING PARENTS WILL HELP THEIR SONS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PRACTICAL THINGS OF LIFE oO: a bright clear morning this June, two boys will step eagerly into a Ford road- ster and start on a motor trip that will last the whole sum. mer through. Theirs will bé -a trip never to be forgotten . . . long to be remembered. Regular school will have closed for them, but their practical education will be but beginning. They will many things not fetind in books. Two far-seeing parents have attended to that. Pressed by the boys to give them an automobile as reward for passing with high grades, the parents consented on one « that the trip must serve a useful purpose. So this plan was decided on. Each day the boys will arise condition . . lwo Boys | spending time in will see how they learn and the treasures soil. at seven o'clock and follow a carefully arranged route and schedule. This calls for their visiting principal points of interest in this country and dustrial plants. They will get back® to the sources of raw materials--see how things are mined and grown--and follow them through the various stages of manufacture. They millions of people. Bustling factories will teach of the work of men and machines, The village farms and wide, rolling prairies will reveal the magic of nature Everywhere, through first-hand contact, they will learn more about the great country, 'in which they live. leading in. are used by beneath the \ Thrown a great deal on their own resources yet not too much --they will develop a poise and self-reliance they could get in no other way. The theory of books will become the actuality of fact. Each night they will sit . down and write a letter telling what they have séen and what they have done 'in that particular day. And two proud parents at home will read and ¢nvy and prepare perhaps to set forth on a similar adventure. It seems altogether natural and logical that the Ford was selected for an extended trip of this kind. Always it has been associated with. depend- able, economical, useful transportation. more than a quarter of oul Go Adventur a century it has been both pioneer and leader. Years ago it was the first automobile ever seen in many, For of the sections the boys will visit. Today it is a part of the lives and activities of millions = of men and women. So uni. versal is its service that people everywhere look upon it not only as an automobile but a national institution, It is the symbol and the ex- pression of high value at low price, unique manufacturing and production methods, and higher wages for Canadian workmen. Many thousands of miles of use will confirm your first im- pression of quality and give youa feeling of pride and satis« faction in the performance of the Ford. It will meet your highest expectations. You will come back from a long trip convinced that it is a great car,"
