Shaw took the oppoi unity on Friday evening last, it being his birthday, to present him with an ad- dress and a very handsome +birthday calve at the box social held under the aur tc.e5 -of th H • ,.p e Hospital Board a. Hayen Bar•ten the home of Mr. and Mn's Eph- Snell. The cake, which was surmounted by' eighty-two lighted candles, was presented by Dr. William Gunn, after having read • the following character istie addres : "Mia Chairman, Ladies and Gentle- mem—If I entle-rnen. 15"I consultedmy limitations as a speech -maker my remarks would be .,brief, 'perhaps something like' the following: '7)r Shaw, your cake -and eighty-two candles. Dig in.' But such brevity might seem discourteous to the occasion. I feel pleased and honoured by the privilege of present- ing this cake to my revered friend, the well-known and respected octo- genarian physician. I 'congratulate the one who conceived the idea of a birthday celebration foe- Dr. Shaw, and everyone who helped to bring the function to a successful issue. I$ fitting thatthis event should take place on the beautiful Snell £arm, a place so " intimately associated for Many years with everything that de- notes progress in a farming commun- ity, "It is perhaps but right and proper that Dr, Shaw should know why eighty-two candles stand on this cake, instead of sixty-two, which is Sus correct age. It comes from an 'old Chinese custom and is intended as .a token of respect- The great Li Hung Chang visited Canada about thirty years ago. When he was introduced to ladies or gentlemen of any age his salutation was; `Hoy/told fire ;sou?' or 'You are very old.' The expres- sion has a comprehensive meaning in the Chinese language. In a word it means: ,You have the grace, the charm, the knowledge and under- standing that belongs to a long line of worthy ancestry and you have drunk deeply of the wisdom of the sages,'- In Canada we say when in trodeaed: 'I am pleased to meet you," which means, . 'Your acquaintance is worth cultivating and I am at your 1 service.' In the United States `I am pleased to meet you' means: 'Yoe might be worth one hundred dollats' to me; I'll see you ,later." Anyhow, it is absurd to try to ex- press Dr. Shaw in terms of eighty 4 two candle power. Eighty-two horse power would :be more in keeping with what he has accomplished: A short time ago some good med- ical friends and grateful students presented me with a fine, tablet, to grace my memory, and it ,now occu- pies an honoured place in the hall of Clinton's beautiful new hospital. It was Dr. Shaw who gave the presenta- tion address. For the material of this address the Doctor delved into my family history, and my history from childhood days. He said his in- tentions were to turn the search light on possible high spots very dimly,. and it is but fair that T play the game with Dr. Shaw in this respect, Dr. Shaw was- born and wore out several pairs of shoes in the township of Hullett,end he came of geed High- land ancestry. Remotely- the elan Shaw. was closely Connected with the Vikings and the rough Sea.Kings,who raided the North Shores of Europe. The, clans who put the English to sleep 'at Bannockburn came of the. same stock tpti: besides learning- his lessons Jack Shaw took anactive part,and was often a winter, in all the ,mealy' sports, such as running, jumping, walking, football,' lacrosse, etc,,.., .t, an early age, too, Jack joined a: Band' of Elope, the pledge being to abstain from ligoue, tobacco, swearing and lies. Of all - those Who joined this lodge it i0 said' that Dr. Shaw was the only one who kept the pledge to old age. Jack who, very rarely played truant or .smoked' mulien leaves, and if hes sparked the is pa ed girls at all it was very sparingly, 'The Doctor taught school for a few years' and there are hundreds in the professions and in every walk of life who -can testify to what his example and teaching did for them. If a few of his pupils found their way tojail, that was but' natural and what was. to be expected. Although the Doctor kept his end up at games and sports, he graduated in medicine among -the best students. Dr. Shaw was surely -born under a lucky, star, of perhaps under a fortui- tous juxtaposition of stars, for hon- ours have come to him without seek- ing or effort. One, day one sees Dr. Shaw a menuber of the Clinton Ma- sonic Ledge and the next day he is chosen to be the District Greed Mas- ter. One day he is. asked :to be the district health officer ' and after a while we observe him as the :presid- ing officer of the Provincial Board of Health. Ocie day he is one member among a thousand .bel'ong'ing to the Ail nasi of our great Toronto Uni- veesity and the next we observe him' as, president :of that distinguished body, and now we see, him presented. with cake"and candles, enough to Iceso him for year. As a boy Dr. Shaw was always ready to be ten cents that his:i•ooster could' lick any roosterester i n he neigh- borhood "and meta hor`eally speak:'. ing, he lice been +betting; on his roost- er all his life. The Doctor is always -ready and willing to 'back up any, schemein s that is• the best interests Mit G. R. PATDRSON, B.S•A:zYI,S. of Clinton with his time, his energy who has been , appointed District Res and hie money end his rooster` gen- presentative., for Huron County, sue. n i es a ntin s` o a Ceedzn DR. J. W. SHz-1W - Dr. WM. GUNN .-w large practise and keeping up with the latest in medicine Dr. Shaw has found time to do more for local p overnents "than any 'other eitizen. lie has held the highest office in 'the gift of the citizens of Clinton, that of mayor. This office he' filled with. dignity ad. efficiency. d g Y x e cY. An , such is the confidence in Dr. Shaw's integ- rity that, although he bought a new ; ., ear after his term as mayor had err ppired, there was never a whisper or•ti, suspicion of graft. The Doctor's re- cord is a creditable one, as everyone knows, but he owes much of his sue- cess to an efficient life -partner. Three cheers and a tiger nee due to the brave wife who has lived with the octogenarian rascal so long. We all wish Dr. Shaw many happy returns on his birthday and I pho phesy that this scene will be enacted again on his one hundredth birthday, when the cake win be surmounted by a thousand candles:' 41144 .i That Dr. Shaw was ahitost rend- ered. speechless by the 'foregoing will not be wondered at, but pulling him- self 'together by a truly heroic.ef fort he was able :.to reply. fittingly and also characteristically. The cake, which the genial Doctor, on listening to' the address, feared might he a hoax, was' a thoroughly genuine, hon- est -to -goodness cake of excellezrt quality.
