A Public Servant For 22 Years ! 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 sprint, 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. Some of the old-time proverbs are wearing a little thin these modern days and that well- , known one="A prophet is not without honor save in his own country" means nothing, simply nothing, to these sturdy citizens of Gwillimbury. They honor Earl Rowe because they know and admire him; the oldsters have been watching him for twenty-two years, ever since he was elected a Township Coun- cillor on oun-chlor-on his 21st birthday. D Reaches Cabinet Rank They start them young in pub- llc 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 he reaches Cabinet rank at Ot- tawa. Such a man is Earl Rowe — and Gwillimbury Township bas 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. 7 1936—Unanimously selected as leader 'of the On- tario Liberal-Conser- " vative Party. A Happy FaSnily , 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 his 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 hint 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 hint 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 CHARACTER. Heredity must get some of the credit. The Conservative leader 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 8. Here are enshrined the hotnely 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. HON. EARL ROWE ° A Warm Personality This has been written of Earl Rowe by a long-time, associate: "The warmtlf 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 napped 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 hand, who comes. under the influence of his warm personality, will say, "This is the type of leaderOntarioneeds."' Tor 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.

' Inquire of your fire chief, when buying a fire extinguisher, to be sure of getting the right kind. Don't hes- itate to ask your firemen whenever you have questions on fire preven- tion. Notify the electric company of el- ectrical trouble and tate gas company of gas leaks. Replace' "blown" fus- es with new ones—not pennies. Avoid homemade wiring jobs. . Don't look for gas leaks with a match. Escape the danger of flammable* liquid fires and explosions by keep- ing no gasoline in the house. Do dry cleaning with safe liquids or send' the work to the cleaner. Never start fires with kerosene. 1' la • WE WANT YOUR HELP!
