my ms 13 | me i dima Pr le THE DRYDEN OBSERVER PAGE FO Beatty of the C.P.R. As Montrealers Know Him Reprinted from Montreal Daily Herald d. Beatty is a quarter- back who stu- died law, but by a twist of fate, became a railway presi- dent. Though he couldn't make the first string on the Varsity gridiron squad he had no dif- ficulty with the C.P.R. and has played regularly ever since. They say it was Shaughnessy coaching that turned the trick (Lord S.not Shag). He is probably the shyest man in Canada. A The ladies admire him because he wears his hat over one eye and walks with a quarterback swagger. The fact that he is a bachelor and apparently intends to remain one provides a second element of "je ne sais quoi" to keep feminine hearts in a state of flutter. Business men like him because he talks straight from the shoul- der and has an uncanny talent for getting at the core of the most intricate problem. The man in the street respects him because he preaches The Gospel Of True Canadianism. Politicians fawn on him because he is the boss of the C. P. R. The Prince of Wales is another citizen who thinks Beatty is "all right," and His Royal Highness is always ready to prove it by of- ficiating at the launching of a new C. P. R. ship. Ordinary people respect him highly, and are sorry his railway is having a hard time. As a youth he wanted to he a judge, but Fate intervened and sent him a job in the C. P. R.'S legal department. Young Beatty refused to regard this as his life- work, but ultimately had to de- cide in a hurry when the late Lord Shaughnessy sent for him and asked him to be a Vice-Presi- dent. Here is. one version of what took place: Beatty said "No!" "Tom" Shaughnessy fixed the young attorney with a stern eye and rexclaimed, "My God, Beatty! Do you want to be a mere lawyer all your life ?" Young Beatty smiled and took the job. Some people think Mr. Beatty is hard to reach and tales are told of citizens who wait for weeks for the call to conference. Nevertheless he is the easiest man in the country to talk to, provided you can crash the outer office. He is one of the few leading citizens who go in for Good Works in a Big Way without thought of publicity or praise. Not long ago the mother of an ex-Boys' Home youth who had lost his job in the States, was destitute and needed trainfare home in despair tele- phoned to BE, W. The Chairman and Presideht of the C.P.R. came to the phone in person, discussed the case with the harassed mother, told: her not to worry and in- structed "the C. P. R. official nearest to the boy to ship him back to his home, paying the fare out' of his own pocket. These are the things which have won him a reputation for kindness and humanity. He was born at Thorold, which Ontario people will tell you is situated in the Garden of Canada. He attended several schools in Toronto, and ultimately scratched his way into, through and out, of Toronto University and was called to the @ntario Bar. That was in 1901 and almost at once he went into the C.P.R.'s law department. He stayed there for thirteen years before becoming the company's General Counsel. In 1916 he was elected to the Board. In 1918 they made him President, when Lord Shaughnessy dropped one of his two portfolios. Six years later he added the title Chairman to his letterhead. Since then he has held both jobs and has had plenty of worries on his hands He thinks co-operative manage- ment will solve the railway prob-: lem. = He does more travelling than many salesmen. you will see him in Calgary. Ne Tuesday he will be in Montre: On Wednesday he will appear be- fore the Railway Commission .in' - the Capital. can talk with him by long dis- tance to the Empress of Britain, outward bound. Wherever he goes he carries his work under his hat. When times were good it used to be written that he had the Biggest Industrial Job In The World. The job to-day is pro- bably just as big but infintely more arduous. : His continued good repute is largely due to the idea that has got about that he is honest, hcn- orable and, taking him by dnd large, as representative a citizen of Canada 'as can be found be- tween the two oceans. And there is plenty of evidence to support the charge.

CLERGYMAN'S ROAD CAMP DUTIES IN NORTH'N = ONTARIO CONSTRUCTION Men In Camps Are Contented And Enjoy Services. The following letter, by Rev. Wm. Bilton, Camp Chaplain on the Trans-Canada Highway, 1s reprinted from The Gravenhurst (Ont.) Banner of February 2nd, 1933 :-- " : ; I have just completed my first visit to each of the tweamty-five camps, covering 210 miles Jn five weeks. Visited every hut in each camp. Held service every night. Called at the homes of the scattered settlers. Gave them Christian literature and had about twenty minutes talk | in each home. When at the end of my territory I am 100 miles [from the nearest minister and 80 miles from the nearest Sunday School, It is no wonder that a minister is welcomed in this needy district. The men in camps are well and contented and enjoying every service and also literature which is a great help to keep them from being too lonesome. I have in one camp 58 boys from Brantford. Amongst them are three fine Christian men. One of them, Jim Adams, was asked by the 120 men in camp to conduct services when I am not in camp. He is an able speaker and commands the re spect of every mam in camp, be- cause he lives the life that counts. So I am finding a few choice men among the hundreds, men, who like Daniel, dare to take a stand for Christ and daily live it out for God's glory. We have deep snow here, and koften 50 and 60 below zero. 1 have seen deer tracks, also moose, in this district. Rabbits and partridges are also plentiful. Amongst the men, I am meet- ing with college graduates, also men once 'wealthy contractors.

A Per capita, the levies are as shown in the diagram; $10.94 in 1895-6, $15.98 in 1904-5, $31.20 in 1913-14, $66.10 in 1921-22 and $77.08 in 1929-30. Most tax bills are paid by heads of families. Adopting the census returns of 1921 of 4.62 persons as the average per family then taxes per family of $144.14 in 1913-14 had grown almost 214 times to $856.10 per family in 1929-30, or almost $30 per month. As with government expendi- tures and debts, these increases have far outrun the basic indus- trial and financial development. ite with all the boys. lege graduates from Frontier College are training the Ukrain- the evenings.
