Art. 6. Mr. George L. Barnes, annual Moderator, then stated that this meeting was ready to receive any communication
64
from the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of Weymouth, Dorset, England.
Mayor Percy J. A'Court. Mr. Moderator, Ladies and Gen- tlemen of Weymouth, Massachusetts, when I first had an invita- tion from Colonel Bauer, as our representative, asking if we would send a representation from Weymouth, England, to come and visit you on your 150th anniversary, I carefully considered the letter, wishing that the Mayor of Weymouth at that time were in a better position than I was to come over and see you; that he was somebody who had a gift of tongue more than I had.
And then I thought that though living in Weymouth, Eng- land, all my life, my father and grandfather before me, and that perhaps an A'Court was on the jetty when your ancestors sailed 300 years ago to Weymouth, Massachusetts. I felt that you might have a certain love for an old inhabitant of Weymouth though he might not be a born orator.
This is for me a proud moment indeed, it is an occasion so great that it is difficult to give expression to the privileges which have given rise to it and which must result from it.
We have come 3000 miles to represent at your celebration the citizens of the English Weymouth. I am authorized to speak to you in their name, and to convey to you their expressions of good will and to join with you in the festivities which are to mark the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of America's Inde- pendence.
To me it seems there could be no clearer indication of the extent to which we value the kinship which exists between us.
My fellow townsmen feel that your invitation was nobly con- ceived, and may I be allowed to say that it was nobly accepted.
This invitation and acceptance result today for the first time in history, in the official representation of an English town at your Independence celebration. It requires some thought to rea- lize the importance of that simple statement, and it takes on even greater importance when you appreciate the fact that this histori- cal moment takes place in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and within a few miles of Boston itself. Surely no other state could be more appropriate for this manifestation of the present happy relationship existing between us. Could you have been present at the great gathering of townspeople which met on the eve of our departure to wish us Godspeed and charge us with the duty of representing them in your midst, I am sure your hearts would have warmed and you would have felt that this visit is no mere form but a genuine expression of good will. With your National Flag decorating our hall, a crowded audience rose to their feet with enthusiasm when the orchestra played your great
National Anthem. You have received us in a manner which takes from me the power of speech to express to you our thanks in terms suitable to describe the big heartedness of our welcome,
and I hope that before our visit closes I may have the opportunity of expressing to you individually and collectively the thoughts which at this moment defy the capacity to put into logical order or nuitable teams. I read to you yesterday the message from my fellow townsmen, and today it is my pleasing duty to hand over to you the banner and album to which they referred in that message. The banner is embroidered in the correct heraldic col-
.
65
ors and the arms and motto are in accordance with our ancient charters, granted to us at a time before the sailing of the. May- flower; and may I not, therefore say the grant of arms was made to the ancestors of those early settlers of this town of yours, as well as to ourselves. It is with great pride that I leave with you the personal message on the banner, and assure you that its senti- ment is thoroughly sincere. The album of views of our Borough I trust you will find of interest. It contains a number of old prints and of present day photographs. We are proud of our town to- day as obviously you are of yours, and these pictures will give you an excellent idea of the Weymouth of today. Further, I was intrusted with an album containing messages of hope and good will from all the religious denominations at home, and I was also asked by the Boy Scouts to hand to your Boy Scouts a message especially for them. When we left Southhampton a deputation of Weymouth people in that town came aboard the Aquitania and wished us Godspeed and requested us to carry to you their good wishes; and in addition to that, a large number of individuals gave me messages for their friends, far too numerous for me to carry out. The whole Borough joined heartily in sending to you their brotherly greetings, and I ask you now to accept them rea- lizing that I have altogether failed to convey to you the deep sin- cerity of their good will toward you.
(The Mayor at this time lifted the covering from the banner, which had been set upon the stage, amid great applause, every- body rising and all evidently had great admiration for such a beautiful gift.)
Mr. Moderator: I hand over to you the message from Mr. Thomas Hardy (presenting same) and this is the album of views (presenting same) and this album contains the messages from the different religious organizations of Weymouth, England (present- ing album) and this, I have been rather afraid to hand over to you, for it has been quoted in your papers that it is an original mustard pot coming from King George, it is not, and I am rather glad it is not, after what I have heard about King George yester- day, (Great laughter) I was rather glad I didn't bring over the original, but I assure you that I am giving you a replica of the mustard pot. There are also one or two old prints, showing what Weymouth might have been when the early settlers sailed (renaw- ed cheers and three cheers by the audience.
George L. Barnes speaking: Mr. Mayor: I am sure that I speak the unanimous views of everyone gathered here and of all of our citizens when I say that we express to you our deep felt gratitude for these gifts which you have brought to us. They will serve as a permanent reminder of that friendship and kinship which exists between Weymouth of Old England and Weymouth of New England. But it needs no tangible memorial to always keep alive in our hearts the memory and pleasant recollection of your own good self and of your ancestors. These gifts that you have brought us will be permanently placed in our archives for the examination of ourselves and our posterity, and they will ever serve to exemplify the friendship that has been manifested by your visit here on this occasion. (Very great applause.)
Mr. Allan Emery offered the following resolutions.
Whereas, the citizens of Weymouth, Massachusetts, in legal town meeting assembled, while celebrating the 150th anniversary
66
of the Independence of the United States of America, receive with great pleasure the greetings of the citizens of Weymouth in Old England, and express their sincere appreciation of the gifts which have accompanied these greetings, the fine sentiment so beauti- fully expressed, and the fellowship with our brethren from Wey- mouth, England, which we have so much enjoyed will do much to cement the frinendship already existing between the two Wey- mouths, it is hereby Resolved: That the greetings of the citizens of Weymouth, Massachusetts be expended to the citizens of Way- mouth, England, and the assurances of our love and esteem be carried to them by our honored guests assembled with us tonight. Such a demonstration of good will as is manifested by the coming of our brethren from Weymouth, England, is the best kind of guarantee of permanent and abiding peace between the two coun- tries.
Mr. Josiah B. Reed. Mr. Moderator: These have been won- derful days, made doubly wonderful by the presence of His Wor- ship, the Mayor, and his companions and it is indeed with pleasure that I rise to my feet to second the resolution offered by Mr. Emery.
Mr. Edward W. Hunt: Mr. Moderator: It certainly gives me great pleasure to second the adoption of this resolution. I think we are all pleased to have these distinguished guests with us to enjoy our wonderful town and the wonderful weather we have had, and I trust they will carry back to the mother town in England many happy recollections of their coming here.
The question on the adoption of this resolution as submitted by Mr. Emery was put to the meeting and it was declared an u- nanimous vote. (All rising to feet.)
Mr. Emerson R. Dizer offered the following motion and it was so voted: That the Town Clerk ba instructed to send a let- ter of thanks to the following for the hearty co-operation which they have shown the town in the observance of the 150th anniver- gary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Peter B. Bradley, Allan C. Emery, South Shore Masonic As- sociation, Pilgrim Church, Sacred Heart Church, Old South Union Church, Old Colony Driving Club, Weymouth Item., Weymouth Gazette, Eastern Mass., St. Ry. Co. Weymouth Light & Power Co. American Tal. & Tel. Co., Bethlehem Ship Building Co.
Voted : That this meeting do now adjourn.
