FAREWELL ADDRESS BY THE
LADY TWEEDSMUIR
(A9 delivered over the National net-
work of the CBC, Sunday, March 17)
I feel that I cannot leave Canada
without saying thank you to the
people of this Dominion who - have
shown me so much kindness, and
given me so mucic help.
First of all I'should like to thauk
all these friends who have sent me
books for my Prairie libraries. 1
should like to say that I could never
have put through this scheme without
your help, You would, I am stare, like
to know that since the scheme was
started in September, 1936, almost
40,000 books have been sent out.
I have interpreted the term
"Prairies" very widely, and have
tried to supply literature to groups
of people in all isolated places of
Canada, whose winter evenings are
long and lonely. A. grant from the
Carnegie Trustees has helped me to
supply bookstostudents and others
who wished to study some special
subject. Thousands of books have
been sent to school children. Canad-
ian children are hungry for books,
and show excellent taste in reading,
often preferring the great classics of
childhood to newer books.
I should like to thank His Excell-
enoy's and my personal secretary,
Mrs. Kil)ick, without whose co•opet'a-
tion and hard work 1 could not have
carried on the scheme. Also Miss
Esther Thompson of Winnipeg, Mies
Bertha Oxner of Saskatoon, and Mrs.
Ferguson of 'Froe]nt, Alberta, who
supervised the sending out of the
travelling libraries in the Prairie
Provinces. Their work has been be-
yond praise, and I thank then; malty
times for all they did,
My Prairie library scheme has
brought me into close touch with
mane people, whose letters telling
me of their lives, have been a con -
saint interest to me.
To the Women's Organizations in
Canada I wuuid like to say a special
word of thanks for the warmth of the
welcome they always gave me when
I went to their meetings. I shouid
like also to send them m'y best wishes
for their war work and their work
when peace comes to us again.
To the Children's Organizations I
would like to give my best wishes.
The children in Canada have always
welcomed me wherever 1 have been.
With there lies the met of the future,
mut I ant sere they will wore to retake
the Canada of their generation a line
and happy place.
To my friends and fellow members
of the Women's Institutes I would
like t0 say 'bow notch I hope they
will press on with their work in
educatiou and in all other lines, 1
have so much enjoyed my association
with them here, and though 1 have
not been able to answer their many
kind letters sent to ate in the last
month, 1 would like to say how grate-
ful I ant to receive them. 1 hope that
the Canadian and British Women's
Institutes will always be linked to-
gether in the warmest friendship and
closest association, and that we shall
continue to work as ardently in the
future for the welfare of the country-
side as we have done in the past.
I leave Canada with a warmth at
my heart, and gratitude for the love
you have shown to my husband and
myself. Two of my sons are with the
Canadian Forces, and I shall be proud
to count myself always part of Can-
ada, wherever I atn.
To my friends of French -Canada, I
send my most profound thanks, Their
warm welcome and their considera-
tion for me touched me ..to . the
depths of my heart.
I need no reminding of you all, but
when I wrap around me your splendid
present of Canadian furs l shall feel
enclosed in your love and kindness
and generosity, To the people of the
Far North, to the people of the East
and tine West and the South, and the
Central places of this great Domin-
ion, I say "thank you and goodbye,"
