GENTLEMEN'S CLUB.
NEWS ITEMS,
As promised the following is
the number I have given in vil-
lages and small towns in every
province except Quebec, It was
copyrighted in 1937 and first in-
troduced Oct. 4th of that year in
Belle 'Creek, NIL Ladies and,
gentlemen, every entertainer with
iyhom I am acquainted tries to
leave a message with his aud-
ience. Somle will say "go to
church on Sunday", others "sup-
port charity", and the politicians
tell you how to vote. My mes-
sage to you is front my heart,
Support your own village, help
your own community.
I was born near the little vil-
lage of Bluevale in Ontario,
seventy years 'ago. Bluevale had
a population of about' six hund-
red. To-day about. one third of
that. Brassels, now my home
town, had a population of sixteen
hundred, to-day just one half. My
mother carte from Sunshine, a
sleepy little village that nestled
on the Maitland river. It bad two
or three stores, a blacksmith
shop a harness and repair shop,
a post office and church. Its
industry consisted or a, huge saw
mill plus a furniture factory.
When the south winds of spring
melted the icy grip of winter
from, the river. Thousands of
logs were floated in on the clear
waters to feed the hungry mill.
To-day the waters do not even
stop. They may pause a moment
and Atirmer a word of sympathY,
and then flurry westward to the
sea. There is nothing to stop for
but, emptiness and loneliness.
Never again will the barefoot
boy hurry home from school to
watch and listen to the whirr and,
the whine of the saw as it fights
its way *through the giant elfin
oak and pine, Never again will he
vatch, and listen at the open door
of the blacksmith shop to hear.
the tap-tap of the hammer on the
anvil. All is silent.
Mail killed this village. Man,
because he was indifferent and
didn't think of the future. Man,
because he took his order sheets
an his 'business to the larger
centres and so Sunshine," was
„Vied. Another generation and
man with his blasting powder
and bulldozer covered up the
evidence. To-day cattle graze on
top of what *as once .Was a prod
village, a 'village that lived and
loved and laughed. There is no-
thing left now hut sadness and
the tomb stones in the church
yard. The same thing is hap-
pening to villages and small
towns throughout the whole
Dominion. The same could hap:,
pen to you. Don't let it. Paved
roads, the automoone, the tele-
phone, television, and worst of all,
Simpson-Sears, Eatons and the
mail order catalogue are killing
your village. My argument is, a
pound of sugar purchased in your
ONVI1• village is just as sweet as
sugar purchased in Moncton or
Halifax. A gallon of gas from

your local pump will take you as
far as a gallon of gas purchased
anywhere in 'Canada. A two inch
nail is no longer or stronger bee

chant is one of you. 'When don:

never knew one single grocer who
would let a child go hungry if in

Help your own coMmunity. As
man to man, as one farmer t to,
another I would say, remember
if your nearest village deprec-
iates so does your land value. If
your merchant has to close his
doors, no need. to lock yours. The
horse is gone.
Towns are not made by men
afraid that someone else gets
ahead.
If every one works and nobody
shirks you can raise a town
from the dead
And if when you make your own
private stake your neighbour
makes one too
Your town will be like you want it
to be, it isn't the town its you.
Ladies and gentlemen this is
your village. It's future is in your
hands, yours to build, yours to
destroy. I thank you..
Truthfully Yours

IN MEMORIAM
DAVIDSON — In loving; memory
of Joan Marie, who passed away
June 7th, 1959.
Always a thought and many a
a tear,
For one We .miss and loved so
dear,
The sudden way she nad tct die
We shall always remember an
wonder why
To know we never said goodbye,
Will, always bring regret.,
But the hearts that loved her
dearly
Are the hearts that don't forget.
Sadly missed by Mother, Dad,
sister and brothers.
