The Statesman was called upon suddenly to give a short address to the members o! the Advertîs- îng and Sales Club, Toronto where he was received into membership which has continued ever since. As the editor o! a rural weekly, the finst thought that came to mid was: "What has been the most important product o! the farms o! Durham County?" Believing that the question was one revolving about boys and girls whÙ le! t farms to seek an education and a wider field o! service, this fonm- ed the subject o! an extempon- aneous talk. It was later published in booklet form and has had wide circulation. We present some of the person- alities told abotit in the address, ail o! whom came from Durham County. At that time W. D. Rob- bins was Mayon o! Toronto. The story stants with his early cancer. In a preface the speech extol- led the weekly paper as a med- ium which necorded births o! the district, aften which the record was continued telling o! the life o! the individual and finally, at the close an obituary which sum- arized the cancer and attainments o! the one, who even in the most humble capacity, left some mark in the community duning the span o! life. The point was made that a weekly paper wnites local hist- ony from week to weck. An auth- or can find no better source o! research than in the columns of a rural weekly. Mayor W. D. Robbins was de- scribed as the village cut-up around Ennisgîllen, befone going on to Toronto to become a street car conductor and finally the May- on. About the same time, back in C rtwight, a farm boy wanted to b'rome a docton. Yeans laten he was acclaimed one o! the great surgeons o! Amenica. In world war 1, he was a Col. in charge o! medical services abroad. Finally Hon. Herbent A. Bruce was ap- pointed Lieut. Governon o! On- tario and only lately has resigned his seat in the House o! Commons, Ottawa. Bornn on a farm at Tyrone an- other Durham County boy went along with his father who started making carniages and sleighs in Enniskillen and then moved on to Oshawa. Came the motor car and Young R. S. (Sam) McLaugh- lin went along with it to the Pnesidency, General Motors o! Canada and to become interna- tionally known as an industrialist and a breeder o! thonoughbred honses. Law captuned the imagination o! anothen Durham boy and W. Norman Tiiley, son o! a Durham school inspecton, rose to become the leading constitutional lawyer in Canada whose lîfe closed just a few yeans ago. Then journalism came into the picture. These wene realized in time by Joseph E. Atktnson, founder and chairman o! the Toronto Daily Star, one o! the great papens o! these times. START Mr. Atkinson continues aciive at his desk every day as this is told. President of the Canada Life Assurance, A. N. Mitchell is an- other Enniskillen boy whose fath- er was a widely known physician. Victor Smith, general manager, Confederation Lîfe, is a native of East Durham. and E. V. Lander of this district became president, Continental Life Insurance Co. In the realm of big business we also present J. S. McLean, pres- ident, Canada Packers, born on a farm near Kendal, Durham County and in the dairy world, Harold Gully of Bowmanville has recently retired as Vice President, Silverwood Dainies In the military sphere no more noted figures in world war 1, came to prominence than the late Sir Sam Hughes, former Minister of Defence. His father was a teacher at Solina school. Others of the family were General John Hughes, General W. S. Hughes and Qxeneral Garnet Hughes. Dur- ham is the home of the famous Mad Midland Regiment whose history goes back almost a cen- tury. Dr. James L. Hughes, bro- ther of Sir Sam was for forty years chief inspector Toronto schools. And it was at Newcastle that the Massey-Harnîs company started, with the late Chester D. Massey rjesiding in that village. Today Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, recently retired as High Commis- sioner to Bnitain, lives on his farm and country estate at Carn- ton, Durham County. These are but a few of a much longer hist of figures who have gone out from the farms and ham- lets of Durham to achieve notable success in the outside world. AVERAGE FARM CASH INCOME DURING WAR Average cash income per farm in Canada duning the war years was $1,750, according to figures compiled by the Canadian Feder- ation of Agriculture from returns made by the Dominion Bureau of Stàtistics. The bureau's figures show that the total cash income of ail fa:rms in Canada, including subsidies, for the six yeans from 1940 to 1945 inclusive, was $7,- 702,000,000 or an average oven the six years of $1,283,767,000. Using the 1941 census total of farms in Canada at 732,700 the average total cash income per fanm, in- cluding subsidies, works out as follows for each of the six years: 1940 -----------------$ 1045.00 1941--------------------- 1245.00 1942--------------------- 1500.00 1943--------------------- 1900.00 1944------------------- 2500.00 1945 ------------2300.00 Average per farm, war years -------- $ 1750.00 He who shahl introduce into public affaîrs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face o! the world. -Benjamin Franklin.
