‘DISTINGUISHED AND UNIQUE’ CONTRIBUTION
A. J. Mason, in making the presentations to Bernard E. Norrish,
Lt.-Col. John A. Cooper and the late Ray Lewis:
RAY LEWIS — “A name easily recognized as the most internationally known Canadian in the world of the film . . . She has kept the record of our joys and sorrows down through the years , . . Her life is so rich in intellectual adventure, and so full of the joy of living, that the rest of us must feel like dull drudges when we compare our lives with hers. Ray Lewis never asked for equal rights for women, instead she created them . . . She has, in fact, enriched the lives of all her associates.”
BEN NORRISH — “His work not only did much for Canada itself but brought Canada great distinction throughout the world . . . Today every great nation in the world employs the film for the propagation of ideas. But Canada was the first to demonstrate the power of the screen to teach and to inform and it was Ben Norrish, as publicity chief of the Depart¬ ment of Trade and Commerce many years ago — and I now quote Terry Ramsaye — ‘who made Canada the first world nation to engage in propaganda film production.’ ”
LT.-COL. JOHN A. COOPER — -“A spokesman ... in whom devotion, principle and intelligence were combined with fine expression. When he retired some years ago he left us as a parting gift the understanding, respect and appreciation of the public which he, as our firm advocate for so many years, helped to create.”
