been winning further laurels° on be
stage, and- The Montreal Gazette sug-
gests that a brilliant future may be
opening before ' him; It says, in its
issue of May 20:
What with the stirrings of the motion
picture industry in this country .and
the rumors of active professional
theatre moveplent, Canada may be
building up its own stars today for
future 'use.
Take the ease of Bill Drew, from
the little Ontario town of Goderich.
Bill is a house -painter and decorator,
working for his father's business in the
summer. But Bill is also an actor of
promise, it seems.
This talent first attracted attention
in a • production of Father Malachy's
Miracle, staged by a group known as
the Catholic Culture Players in Lon-
don. Ontario. Before that the young
actor had appeared in nothing but a'
couple of high school plays.

TiE MEM DEV:LOPMENT
100 YEARS AGO, testi good men
with a cradle and rake could cut
and bind three acres of grain in a
day. Then there still remained the
laborious task of threshing the
• grain with a flail on the barn floor.-
Today one man with a Massey-
Harris self-propelled combine can
cut and thresh up to 50 acres in
a. day. e
Just think of the tedious, back-
brealang labor in cultivating,
seeding, harvesting and threshing
which the farmer.of today escapes
through the use of modern farm
machinery.
The development of labor-
saving farm machinery in which
Massey -Harris has played a lead-
ing part since 1847 has had an
important bearing • on our daily
lives. Before 1830 the farmer pro-
duced mostly for 'himself and his
family; today he raises crops chiefly
to sell. The huge increase in farm
• production brought about by farm
machineruring rhe last tentury.
has been an important factor be
hind the rapid clhnb in the
standard of living both on the
farm and in the city.
Today at the beginning of the
second century of its history, this
company looks forward to a con-
tinuance of its service in helping
the farmer to produce more and
better crops, easier, quicker and
at lower, cost.
