Yes or No ?
Would you leave Canada? That's
the question that, was asked me
the other day, Would you have ans-
wered in the affirmative or the
negative? I'll tell you how I ansa
waved it.
My name is John VanRontgen,
Fifty years ago I came to the bleak
shores of this great continent,
penniless and with an ardent de-
sire to make good. Back home in
Europe, Canada was the land
"flowing with milk and 'honey"-
where money grew on trees and
could be had for the picking, I did
not find it that' easy, in fact, I
found it very 'clifficulL Here land
was freehold. I homesteaded and
worked laboriously clearing and
farming the small fertile fields.
Crops were bounteous and my
wealth began to increase. I mar-
ried. We were blessed with six,
strong, healthy sons. They re-.
ceived their education at the old
log school-house. Jim, the eldest,
heard tales of wealth to be had at
the nickel mines in Sudbury and
struck off to seek his fortune. In
the thirties the depression hit.
Times were had, Money was :scarce.
Bill heard of wealth to be 'had in,
Alberta, and_ worked his way out
there, Jack was the student; he
desired to attend college. Stewart
Went west to help Bill work his
quarter section. Gordon went to the
city, and Bob, the youngest,. re-
mained on the farm to help me
manage it.
The second great . war bit. The
lads were called to serve active
duty, Jim and Stewart never re-
turned. Oil was struck on Bill's
holdings and his land became pricer.
less. Jack became a successful
heart surgeon and pioneered in
many of the delicate operations of
today. Gordon became associated
with General Motors and is now
head supervisor of a division of the
plant. Bob is now carrying on the
farm work, although on an en-
larged scale.. These have been a
few examples of -how Canada offers
opportunities to those who seek
them.
Canada is still a comparatively
young nation and its political and
social views have been• influenced
greatly by the nation to the' south
of us and by Great Britain. She has
grown from a colony of a few hun-
dred to a nation of over fifteen
million people in a very short per-
iod of time. She has become a
