Clinton News-Record, 1961-11-09, Page 12Named Mayor For One Day (Continued From Page One) Canada, and if he "had not had wonderful assistant's, we would have been in trouble." Then he recalled the use of church basements for classrooms, and remembered voicing an opinion when the new school was built that it would be only a short time before the playroom would have to be used for classrooms. "I was right about that," said Mr, Jefferson, "and we were soon watching two more roams being built." "We had fine teachers," went on the honourary mayor, "and I believe I've missed the fine association with other teachers more than anything else since my retirement. It has been a pleasure to help some young teachers starting out in that career. "I believe schools are for ed- ucation, though school is the place to get tools for an honest living, it is also the place for getting tools to live an honest life. "From the letters I have re- ceived the past few weeks, I believe it is the intangible rather than the actual subjects taught which has rubbed off on my former pupils. "I have been blessed with good health, probably because I chose my parents well. I have been greatly honoured to-day, and that honour is greater in that it comes among people I know. It means more than any university honourary degree and I want you to know that." One after another the coun- ADAM AND EVE LEAGUE W L HT Pts.

J. A. "Bert" Gray, present principal of Clinton Public School, read a letter received from• the Ontario Department of Education for this occasion, which said in part, "you have made your influence felt upon the youth of our nation. With- out doubt, many men and wo- men have achieved worth-while positions which were made pos- sible in part by the instruction and guidance received in your classroom and in schools under your influence. "You are known beyond the boundaries of the town in which you reside as an able teacher from a family of teachers, an effective speaker and a loyal citizen who is interested in his community and in the welfare of its citizens." Judge Frank Fingland made the official address to Mr. Jef- ferson, which is reproduced here in part: "On this occasion the toast of the poet is most appropriate: "Here's to the worn-out hearts of those who saw a nation built. and to the proud, fun-loving young hearts that have it in their keeping." ". . . It has been asserted that there have been greater scientific advances in the first part of the 20th century than in the preceding nineteen cent- uries. In this sense, therefore, you have seen the nation built. "We respect and honour you for your contributions to the life and, work of- your Church and to the many societies and organizations of this commun- ity, during the whole of your sojourn in Clinton. For such contributions, we wish publicly to acknowledge our thanks and appreciation. "A man's greatest contribu- tion to his• fellowmen is •gener- ally, however, made through his chosen vocation. And it is particularly because of your professional contribution that we owe, and shall continue to owe, an abiding debt of gratiL, tude. Much could be said of the respect' in which your contemporaries in the teaching profession have held you, But more particularly tonight we think of your abiding place in' the brave, fun-loving young hearts of those, who for 29 years passed under your tutil- age. This has been your great- est contribution to the building of the nation — a contribution which can neither be weighed Homemakers Bowling League (By Mrs. Jessie Mackey) The rumbling of bowling balls announced it was bowling night again for the RCAF ladies' leigue.

Your life's work has been a contribution of a Master Builder in provid- ing plans and specifications for the instruction and guidance of his workmen. "And we do not forget the contribution made by Mrs. Jef- ferson in your work — the assistance given by her, and the inspiration which we are sure that she constantly pro- vided. ". . . We pray that you may yet spend many happy and fruitful years' 'in the vineyard of your labours." Then presentation was made of the address scroll by George Rumball, a student of the first class Mr. Jefferson taught in Clinton in 1927.
