Mike will share the story of his recovery and provide coping skills at a seminar open to the public in your area.

The Statesman editorial writer, in 1947, deplored the fact that a large number of talented Canadians were leaving the country to seek fame and fortune south of the border. The comments were sparked by an address by a young man named Kenneth Croft, winner of an oratorical contest, who spoke to the Canadian Club. Speaking as a member of Canada's youth, he said: "You have given us places to dance and play games. We don't want that so much as we need help and guidance from experts in business and government." The editorial went on to observe that the previous year 30,000 Canadians applied for visas to go to the United States. The following observations were made: "This export of brains has mounted steadily until up to 1930, more than 1,250,000 Canadians had gone across the border to enter business, education and the professions. When you consider it costs the nation $25,000 to educate a young Canadian, one can gather the immense drain upon the human resources of this young nation. This emigration has meant that the growth of Canada's population has done little better than equal the natural increase. We must do something to remedy this situation. Those Were The Days PORK PAYS - "Farmers in this section have gone quite extensively into hog raising and it is quite common common to hear a farmer say that lie lias sold $600 worth of hogs this last year and that nothing pays belter." -- S.M. Clemens, writing in The Canadian Statesman of March 27.1901. UNDER AGE? - "The strongest condemnation of the Public School system of Ontario that we have yet seen is the statement'in the report of the Minister of Education for 1900 that 40 percent of the public school teachers in this province arc under 21 years of age." -- from an April, 1901, Canadian Statesman PRICE CHECK - Seed packets, any 10 for 25 cents (1901); Boys' three-piece tweed suits, S3 (1901); lube of Brylcrcam (1947), 25 cents; single copy of 1947 Statesman, 6 cents. ROLL CALL - Number of persons assessed in Darlington Township for 1901: 1,451; Number of family members: 3,956; Number of cattle: 7,824; Sheep: 4,298; flogs: 4501 ; Horses: 2,523. SIDEWALK DEBATE - Citizens of Division Street presented a petition in July of 1901 for a "granolithic" sidewalk to be built. Debate centered around whether the walk should go inside or outside a row of trees. REUNION -- All former Durham County natives were welcomed back home in a Durham Old Boys and Girls Reunion. The event took place August 5th, 1901. The day began with the arrival of a special train at 11 a.m. carrying the group from Toronto. An estimated estimated 4,000 to 5,000 attended. The entire town had been decorated for the occasion and The Statesman observed: "Scarcely a drunken man was to be seen and smiles and good cheer was in evidence everywhere." SOUND FAMILIAR? - "We arc living in a very rapid and progressive period of the world's history. It requires no special shrewdness or ability to discern the fact that methods for the distribution of knowledge knowledge and merchandise arc rapidly changing. The telegraph, telegraph, telephone, and typewriter (arc) vastly improved and rapid delivery of mails, special railway service and other facilities, including more plentiful money have brought many wonderful changes in the 1st 10 years." -- Bowmanvillc Mayor J.B.
