The principal himself assisted the boys in an excellent display of physical training though the act- ual exhibition was handicapped by "the small size of the hall and the 'almost total lack of any equip- ment with which to work. Two benches were put together in lieu of a "horse." But the boys took it " in good part and turned in an ex- cellent job. Accompanying himself on the ; guitar Ken Heron sang two popu- lar songs. A number of the school "girls did sailor songs and dances with piano accompaniment. Bar- > bara Nesbitt announced the var- " fous numbers on the program. »Two excellent one-act plays were Presented. The first "The Tiger's pw," was a comedy-mystery-mel- PORT including sked intruders, bodies in trunks, dash of romance.

On the suggestion of Mayor Wil- liam Davidson, council agreed that it was desirable to ask the clerk to write for information of a ber of . 'hese would be planted and tended in some town lot and used periodically to replace trees which are cut. Long-range planning of this nature is felt to be desirable if Whitby is to maintain its repu- tation for fine, wooded streets.

Bert Johnston, veteran baseball > Valedictorian BILL DYER Of Brooklin delivered the valedic- tory address at the Continuation School com there last night. He is a student at Whitby High School and corres- Pr pondent for The Times-Gazette, Valedictory Talk Well Received Selected by Brooklin principal, J W. Kaine, to give the address to the graduating class last night, Bill Dyer, of Brooklin, spoke briefly but well, and much of the text of his remarks follows. Mr. Dyer made highest marks at the mid-summer examinations and also won a $100 bursary for standing. He said, "The importance of this occasion is even greater because cur class was the last to obtain four full years of high school education at Brooklin Continuation School. Although the Brooklin school is now only a two form continuation school, we may be sure that the Brooklin school spirit will remain as strong as before. Those who obtained their education here will always remember the old school and reminisce about the times they had here. They may criticize the teachers, as pupils are wont to do, and they may scoff at the school but they still will have a deep inner respect for their alma mater. "This is only as it should be. It ha been estimated that at least 75 per cent of the pupils who havé attended this school since it was opened in 1923 'would not have ob- tained any education beyond the eighth grade otherwise. When we realize .the ever-increasing value, and'indeed the necessity, of higher education in securing a satisfac- tory and profitable . career, no greater tribute could be paid to those who espoused the cause of this continuation school in 1923 and the -able school boards who have since kept it in operation. The re- cent amalgamation with Whitby is just another step forward in the facilitation of higher education for all, "I may speak for the graduation class when I say that we have learned much in this Brooklin school. Not only did we learn the academic subjects and increased our knowledge along these lines, ! LOS but - also we leasned those deeper precepts. and ~ principles which a | school imparts to the pupils. We learned good sportsmanship, the ability to work and play with others and some of the discipline which will be imposed throughout our lives in. whatever career we pur- sue: "As we progress through life, we will 'realize more deeply the value of our school days. We must re- member the principles learned there and must live up to them." coach, presided at the meeting. The following officers were elected: Hon. president, Mrs. Norman Ir- win; president, Mrs. Robert Bea- ton; secretary, Miss Betty Wade; treasurer, Mrs. Carrie McGuire; team captain, Miss Joyce Cowling; manager, Bert Johnston.

Mrs. Donald L. MacLean, Dom- inion. Board Secretary for West China, the guest speaker, chose as her subject "Improving the lot of the | j common man.' She told the group how the Missionaries are able to raise the living standards of the poorer people of India, Africa and China through the teaching of ag- riculture, nutrition, medicine and crafts. Numerous projects which were successfully undertaken by the missionaries were described to the group. Mrs. MacLean pointed out that the individual WM.S. mem- ber has helped to make this work possible. She stressed the immediate need for more missionaries. Dr. L. Hunter, the group leader in charge of the meeting, moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. MacLean. Mrs, Kelvin Bunner, the presi- dent conducted the business and devotional period. A life-size doll, donated by Mrs. Goodfellow and dressed by Mrs. Forbes and Mrs, Sturgess was on display. This doll is to be used in a Mission hospital. Refreshments and a social half- hour were enjoyed before the meet- ing adjourned, REV. . 2, R. 8. LAIDLAW Toronto, Feb, 26.--(CP) -- Rev. '| Dr. R. 8. Laidlaw, 72, retired United Church parson, dled here Friday. at the time of his retirement 'in 1943, Dr. Laidlaw was located at Iroquois: Falls, He also held pas- torates at Belleville, Brandon, Man,, and Winnipeg. morning at 11 am, Some time in 1895 a young Cana- dian from Whitby, Ontario, equip- ped with little else than a large measure of perseverance and faith in himself, and a degree from the University of Toronto, set out across the Atlantic to try his luck in the world's metropolis. The Canadian then only 25 years old, was Hamar Greenwood, who had conceived the idea that his line of self-advance- ment lay in studying for the Eng- lish Bar, meanwhile maintaining himself in London in any legiti- mate way that offered. For four years he read Law, wrote articles for such papers as would accept them, and delivered temperance lectures up and down England. g -- and practicing--tem- perance is excellent but, even with the added resources which accrue through being "connected with the Press," such a line of life is sel- dom remunerative, Hamar Green- wood, like Traddles, found it "a pull." At the end of four years he Canadian in London. "That is the last piece of money I possess," ex- claimed Greenwood, throwing down half-a-crown. "I am just wondering whether to make one more effort .| to get something which will help me to get called to the Bar, or to join the Army." Those were the days when the horse omnibus had not been sup- planted in London by the motor bus. A day or so later Greenwood was jogging along cityward, when the ponderous old vehicle swerved and turned over. Greenwood was thrown out heavily -- he always was of a big build -- and remained unconscious for a fortnight. For weeks he hovered between life and death. At length he recovered. The omnibus company compensated him solved the problem of how to main« tain himself until he gained his call walked into the office of a brother | VISCOUNT GREENWOOD A brief biographical sketch of Whitby's native son to whose memory a plaque will be dedicated in the Church of All Saints' tomorrow to the Bar. In falling on his head Greenwood found he had fallen on his feet. Those were the days, too, when a dweller from thes Dominions who landed in the Old Country usually | found himself treated with a half- patronizing geniality. 'The bushy hair and generally fine Yigure of Sir Wilfrid Laurier had become famil- far in London, and" in. themselves constituted a reminder to the mil- lions of the metropolis that the Im- perial Conference was sitting. Lon- don, in fact, took very kindly (we ought perhaps to say very gracious- ly) to -the "breezy Colonial." If London had still to learn that the "Colonial," with all his breeziness, was usually as hard-headed as any millowner from Yorkshiré or Lan- suznire, it was only a lesson defer- I i It was while these genial ze- GREENWOOD (Continued on Page 10) with 'five thousand dollars, which | IODE To Attend Service For Its Late Patron Members of Viscount Green- wood Chapter, 1.O.D.E. will at- tend & special memorial service at the Church of All Saints to- morrow morning along with friends and acquaintances of the. late Hamar, Viscount Greenwood, P.C, K.C., LL.D.
