]Hely, are wearing a little thin these
loom modern days and that well-
known one—"A prophet is not
without honor save in his own
e01N0 country" means nothing, simply
and nothing, to these sturdy citizens
01111 of Gwillimbury, They honor
made Earl Rowe because they know
10::.1
erand admire him; the oldsters
omen have been watching him for
and twenty-two years, ever since he
the was elected a Township Coun-
cillor on his 21st birthday.
Reaches Cabinet Rank
They start them young in pub-
lic service in these Ontario towns
but only one in ten thousand
forges ahead to the Provincial
Legislature—only one in a hun-
dred thousand keeps going until
be reaches Cabinet rank at Ot-
tawa. Such a man is Earl Rowe
— and Gwillimbury Township
has followed, with pride, every
step of his progress.
The most important events in
this young man's twenty-two
years of public service can be
briefly summarized:
1915—Elected to Council of
Gwillimbury Town-
ship,
1916—Elected Reeve — re-
elected each year for
five years.
1923—Elected to Ontario
Legislature.
1925—Elected to Federal
Parliament.
1930—Re-elected.
1935—Promoted to the Cab-
inet by Honourable R.
B. Bennett, then Prime
Minister. Re-elected to
Federal Parliament.
THE BRUSSELS PAST
A MAN HONORED
IN HIS OWN COUNTRY
Fellow citizens of Gwillimbury Township, who know
Earl Rowe best, are enthusiastic admirers of his
sterling character and gift for leadership
A Public Servant For 22 Y ears i
If you had a large scale map
of Ontario, you would find Gwil-
limbury Township marked in
the County of Simcoe. But you
would have to possess a very
large scale map indeed, to locate
the town of Newton Robinson,
This little dot of a town is
beginning to find itself in print
frequently these days. The citi-
zens feel that this is only to be
expected because one of their
own boys, Earl Rowe, is going
to be, they are confident, Pre-
mier -Elect of Ontario the night
of October 6th.

1936—Unanimously selected
as leader of the 011-
tario Liberal -Conser-
vative Party.
A Happy Family
Earl Rowe, whenever his pub-
lic duties will permit, hurries
back to Newton Robinson, For
there he finds awaiting him his
sturdy red brick house—bis wife
and three fine children—his 225
acres of farm land—his pure-
bred Yorkshire swine, Durham
cattle, registered Clydesdales—
his old Township friends.
One cannot hope to under-
stand a public man solely by ob-
serving him in the midst of pub-
lic affairs in Toronto or Ottawa.
Follow Earl Rowe back to New-
ton Robinson—have a meal with
him in his big kitchen—walk
with him over his fertile acres—.
see him feeding his swine and his
cattle — talk with his aged par-
ents, who live across the road.
Then you would realize even
more fully than ever before how
completely this man possesses
that something without which all
else is so much chaff—and that
something is, CHARA(:1'LR.
Heredity must get some of the
credit. The Conservative leaderns
comes from old British stock
which settled in Simcoe County
many, many years ago. His
father, still active at 88 and his
mother, eight years younger,
were farm folk, and Earl Rowe,
when little more than a young-
ster, bought his farm from his
father on credit and paid every
cent of his debt from his profits
as a dirt farmer.
Virtues of the Soil
On his typical Ontario farm—
in his typical rural Ontario resi-
dence—Earl Rowe leads the
regular routine of a farmer when
his Parliamentary work does not
call him to the cities. His is a
friendly home—made happy by
the presence of his wife, and his
children, Jean aged 17, Bill aged
13 and Lennox aged S. Here are
enshrined the homely virtues of
the soil — those virtues which
since earliest days have given
strength of character to so many
of Canada's greatest public ser-
vants.
'I111NES17AY, SEPT. 2,.ttd, 1037 •
4,111 1111. ,
HON. EARL ROWE
A. Warm Personality
This has been written of Earl
Rowe by a long-time excoriate:
"The warmth of his person-
ality is contagious. One
cannot come into his pres-
ence without feeling his
force and sincerity, tem-
pered by a natural kindli-
ness and interest in his fel-
low -men and their prob-
lems. With his splendid
ideals, backed by long and
honourable Parliamentary
experience, he is uniquely
equipped to make a great
contribution to the public
Life of Ontario."
Newton Robinson isn't seeing
much of Earl Rowe these days.
It is a blessing that he is still
in the prime of life and health,
for he has mapped out a speak-
ing program which will keep him
moving back and forth through-
out Ontario until the eve of
October 6th. His friends are
glad of this because they know
that every man or woman who
sees and hears Earl Rowe, who
shakes his band, who comes
under the influence of his warm
personality, will say, "This is
the type of leader Ontario needs."
For that's the kind of man Earl
Rowe is—likeable, sincere, earn-
est — a statesman whose good
character and good judgment are
written indelibly in the record
of his twenty-two years of public
service.
