Excerpt from Inviting Byways Those who have read Mr. S M. Parker's previous volumes of verse namely, Tumbling Waters and Dying Embers will recall that you were given a resume/ of Mr. Parker's life and achievements. In this preface to his latest volume, Inviting Byways, I should like to comment upon our good friend, Sid as I have known him for many years. His love of Nature has been an inspiration to me and one has only to visit his attractive home at Truro Heights to see how varied are his interests. Birds and animals know his surroundings as a place where they can find food, shelter and protection. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this almost blind but brave, courageous poet is his desire to uplift his fellowman. Much of his time has been freely given in helping someone who needed a lift or a word of encouragement or cheer along the way. In publishing these volumes of verse, one can readily see that he was not inspired to do so for monetary gain but by his desire to give of his best to others. Mr. Parker has proved to be a great friend of boys and girls. He has shown a profound interest in their activities and welfare, and many have learned to love him and revere his name. For this reason, copies of each book have been placed in three school libraries in the town of Truro. Other copies have travelled far - reaching many places across Canada and United States - and such distant countries as Germany and India. From these places and from people unknown to the author have come numerous and unsolicited, favourable com ments and tributes.
