(Clinton News-Record)
On Monday afternoon after abfyut
three week’s illness during which
comes to deqiend more and more up
on her colonies. Then, because Ca-t
nada is the greatest of these colon
ies, because in. population, size, and.
natural- resources she leads them all
therefore she is destined to be the
centre of the British Empire. Thus
I see her in the future, grand, glor
ious and regal, a queen among the
nations', ithe centre of the greatest
Empire the world has ever known.
A few among my audience this
evening may be skeptical, may be
inclined "to ask “Is not this future,
too bright too. glorious and too*
glowing to be true?” Others may
say “How long can these glories re
main?” to them both I answer thus
As Jong as the Canadian statesman
legislates for to-morrow rather than
for to-day, as long as the Canadian
people live in the future rather than
in the past and as long as ithe ‘Can
adian spirit of unity and progress re^-
mains unchanged, so long shall Can
ada’s greatness be known from sea
to sea and from the River unto the"
ends of the Earth.
I am cerfain will, in turn, find triuni- <
pliant solution in the near future. |<
A Tourist’s Paradiso I
I shall not dwell longer upon Can-1 ;
ada’s possibilities for development; I
may I comment in passing upon the 11
spirit of unity existing and growing I;
between us and our great and friend-1:
ly neighbor to the south; as well as I
to the essential co-operabpn and I.
progress within our own borders?n I mjglit mention how only ten I,
per cent, of her rivers have been I
harnesses, how her mineral belt con-1
tains one fifth of the worlds’ coal I
reserve, how only one sixth of her I
amble land is under cultivation, howl
she is becoming each year more aiJd I
more of a tourists’ paradise and so
on indefinitely. But facts and figures, no matter how impressive, I
cannot embrace that greatest of all!
Canadian assets, that priceless spirit!
of youth. We do not think o< Russia or China as young countries, the I
sense of age hovers over England, France, Italy and even Japan; but I
Canada is associated, not with yes-1
terddys but with tomorrow. There!
is ho sense of maturity in either I
place or people and our Dominion, I
strong-sinewed and hardy lias yet to I
feel her strengths The essential I
quality of youth is its power of I
growth, hence the enormous possi-|
bilities of Canada’s future.
This spirit of .youth is shown inf Canada’s present prosperity. All the I
costly poison of ithe Great War, is J
completely out of her system and she faces an era of unprecedented devel-l
opment. The tides of internal and!
external trade have never been sol
high nor the national finances so se-| curely entrenched. In fact as Mr. I
C. J. Hill, of the Babson Statistical I
Organization recently stated: “Ca-| nada is no longer on the threshold!
of opportunity, she has stepped ac-l
ross that threshold and is proceed-!,
ing swiftly .along the corridors of j tremendous economic development.” I
The Canadai of Tomorrow I
In fancy I see the Canada of to-1
morrow, I see long lines of farm-1
houses bathed in the rays of the set-1
ting sun. I see huge wheat fields I
stretching ever toward tjie horizon, I
I see great cities rising where today I
mere villages exist, I see the prairies settled and the northlands developed!
I see a vast network of roads and I
railways connecting Canada from I
North to South and East to West. 11
see a Canada pulsating with life and!
activity.’—the commercial centre of|
the world. I
Since earliest time, Empires h.avel
existed and at the very dawn of his-1
tory we find one, great and power-1
ful ruled by the Mongols of the East, I
but she declined and fell and from
that onwards the Spirit of Empire I
has moved steadily westward always
towards the'' settiflfg-4 sun? ’Down
through the Tigris-Euphrates valley
stie came, across Greece, Italy, Gaul
until she came to rest on those two
rocky Isles, the home of the British
Empire.
From there Britain’s sons have
spread to North and South, to East
and West have carved for themselves
new homes across the sea. The
Spirit of the Viking was upon these
men and the British Empire of ta-
day is their monument, fheir legacy
to the' world. But, each year the
homeland grows more, crowded, each
year new peoples beg for homes
across the sea, each year. Britain

Mr, Chairman, Honorable Judges,
Worthy Competitors, Ladies and
Gentlemen.—
Since our tiiiie this " evening
limited as well by the greatness
our ^subject as by the number
speakers, I do not propose to weary
you by a lengthy introduction, after
all such formalities mean little; so
with no preliminaries I shall unfold
my views on the “Future of Canada”
On July 1, 1927, Canada celebraU
ed her diamond jubilee; celebrated
sixty years of progress, prosperity
and happiness. During thesb years
Canada has groWn, has advanced on
ward and upward to her place in the
sun. Cities have sprung up, roads have been built, and two lines o£^|

time he had been a patient in the
Clinton Hospital, Mr. D. K. .Pior,
one of Clintoni’s best known citizens
breathed his last.
Mr. Prior, who was in his seventy
ninth year, had been a citizen of
Clinton for about thirty-eight years
and we feel safe in saying that no
other man. was held in moye univer
sal esteem in the community than
he. He was known by all to be a
man of strict integrity one who held
strong convictions of right and wrong
and who at all times had the cour
age of his convictions, and who was
withal so kindly aud friendly and
pleasant that he made friends with
everyone and enemies of none.
Mr. Prior was born in England but
came to Canada with his family when
very young. About thirty-eight years
ago he came to Clinton. He had
spent some time in Brussels,. Blytli
and Exeter, where he had resided
with a brother, and he lived here
ever since. He never married and
he was the last of his own family
but he is survived by several nep-r
hews and neices. Two sisters-in-
j law, Mrs. Thomas Prior, of Exeter,
and Mrs. John Prior, of Cleveland,
'N. Dokota, also survives.
Mr. Prior was a member of the
Baptist church, in which lie held dif
ferent offices over a long period of
years. He held the office of Deacon
at the time of his death. He had
been superintendent of the Sunday
school for nearly thirty years and at
the time of his death S. S. and
church treasurer and was teacher of
the Bible class, being at his post
1 the Sunday before he entered the
hospital. He had also been collector
for the Bible Society in his church
for many yeai*s.
Tlje funeral service was held in
the Baptist church Tuesday aftenoon
being conducted by the Rev. Mr.
Gracy, assisted by the Rev. G. I.
Burns, of Salford, a former pastor.
Rev. A. A. Holmes and Mr. S. C.
Hawke. The service was attended by many friends, who wished to pay4
a last tribute of esteem to one known
and beloved though many years. The
remains were taken to Exeter for interment in the family plot, besideI
his -broth,er. The funeral was held
under the auspices of the I.'O.O.F. of
which he was a member. The pall
bearers were: John Wiseman, L. J.
Heard, T, J. Managhan, Elmer Finch,
L. Cree and H. Lawson.
Mrs. W. Kay, of Strathroy and Mr
and Mrs. Sliapton and Mr. and Mrs.
Hicks, of Exeter, neices of the de
ceased, were here for the funeral/
also Misses C. Akam, Toronto; Graefe
Akam, of Detroit; Minnie and Lillie
Falk and M-r. J. Falk, New'Haniburg
and tl^e Rev. G. I. Burns, of Salford.

Visualize our Dominion of to-day
and you see a vast area pulsating
with life and movement. From the
Maritime provinces to British Co
lumbia stretches a vast treasure
house, much of it still locked within
the fastnesses of Mother Earth. The
Northern parts of Ontario Manitoba
and Saskaffehewan’ are rich in min
eral wealth
and Alaska
velopment.
Quebec and
vinces nre
along the Pacific coast is a belt of
'virgin timber, second,to none in the
universe. No less important in their
own way are the^ agricultural parts
of our Prairie Provinces well named
the granary of the world.
Despite the size and magnificence
,pf this yearly crop Canadian farms
aud farmers have not yet reached
their zenith; and with scientific
farming universally practised, the
size and quality of Canadian crops
will astonish the civilized world.
Thus we are justified in concluding
that Canada’s, natural resources will
play a great part in her development;
for because of her potential wealth
of mineral^, timber and agriculture,
she is qapable of supporting her pres
ent population increased a‘hundred
fold.
Canada’s Population
is true that Canada’s popula-
is a mere ten millions and this
of citizens is a temporary hand
in her great race of progress, a
It
tiou
lack
leap
handicap which the next two decades
will see entirely removed. We must
remember that behind this sparse
ness of population lies a worthy rea
son; ‘for Canada has preferred a
scarcity of desirable citizens to an
excess o? undesirables. Another wit
ness of Canada’s foresight is her de
mand that the job precede the im
migrant. Thus we fftid.no obstacle
placed in the path of the American ,
farmers who are migrating in ever
increasing numbers to the Middle
.and Far West. A Canadian states
man on the floor of the House dur
ing the recent session said: “If
the Government-will clear and par
tially prepare for settlement a limit
ed area of arable land in Saskatche
wan 300,000 American farmers will
cross the border.’’ The untrained
farm hand and the riff-raff of Eur
ope, however, do. not fare so well;
and so rigid are the laws regarding
them that only a small number ‘are
allowed to enter Canada each year.
Debpite the exclusiveness of her im
migration laws, Canada’s populatiop
is rapidly increasing, and Sir Henry
Thornton predicts that by 1945 her’
citizens will number twehty-fiVft mil
lions.
Of late, circumstances have con-
bined to project Canada dramatically
into the public eye, chief among
these being tbe establishment of the
Canadian Legation at Washington;
Canada’s first diplomatic outpost on
foreign soil.—A milepost in the his
tory of a million. Similiar Legations
are soon to be set up at TokJo and
Paris; .this illustrates as doos noth
ing’else the keen interest which Ca
nada is taking in foreign and inter
national affars.
Recently the great searchlight of
publicity has been turned inward,
and keen minds areattacking the
problems of the present day. The
St. Lawrence waterway project is the
centre- of public attention; but the
completion of the Hudson Ray'.Rail
road;, vast reforestation schemes;
and 'Negotiations for acquiring the
Alaskan Panhandle are well within
the field of vision. Each of these
