GORRIE — A FOOTNOTE TO
ECONOMIC HISTORY
By R. J. DEACHMAN, M.P.
Gorrie is a little village in the town
ship of Howick in the County of
Huron. It is just like hundreds of
-other little spots throughout the Do
minion of Canada, but Gorrie was the
first village I knew, so the story I
give you now does not ask to be writ
ten—it writes itself.
Youth hangs its pictures, keenly
etched, on the walls of memory. The
later scenes of life are drawn not quite
so clearly. Vision broadens with the
years, the mind takes in a wider
range. There is more beauty in a rose,
more,music in the laughter of child
hood, more hope in our schools and
universities than in all the new com
mandments which thunder at us from
day to day from the political, Sitiais
Of a disturbed Europe. But these are
/thrust upon us—they are clamant in
their appeal. They occupy our
thoughts to the exclusion of other
things. Forget them for a moment.
You may not know this little place
called Gorrie to which I wish to take
you, but it’s like other towns. They
have all been subject to the same in
fluences and move forward to the
same destiny.
Gorrie was built on the banks of the
Maitland river. The Indians, with
more feeling for music, called it Men-
esetung. These pioneer towns were!
nearly all built on rivers, for the pow-
♦et of the river made the wheels of the
mill go round and the mill gave the
farmer a market for his grain-—and
provided some of the necessaries of
life, chopped feed for his cattle, flour
rind oatmeal for himself and the fam
ily. The blacksmith shop, the saw
milt and the planing mill followed.
There was a wagon shop — no one
then had heard of a garage, The
store which sold boots and shoes also
made them. It was a self-contained
economy—men lived close to the soil,
’These spots were social centres.
There, neighbors met and exchanged
views. They discussed the wars of the
day even as we do now. There were
plenty uf them—-the Crimean, the In
dian mutiny,
—then

Cayalcade!
Once I found, in a log granary be
longing to my uncle, a very old pap
er (Unde was Scotch and never threw
anything), telling of the defeat
of a British force by Cetewayo, a 2ulu
leader, b^ck In 1W, I was ohly a Ift*
fall in Howick township:
1861
1881
1901
BJ21
1931
There was very little settlement un
til the early '50's—it moved up rapid
ly to a peak in 1881—then a steady
decline until the census of 1931 when
the population exceeded slightly the
previous decennial record. In that per
iod there was a rise in the price of
farm products, bringing them in clos
er relationship to the price of manu
factured goods. There were many
causes for the early decline. A pion
eer land settlement always draws im
migrants not fitted for the work.
They move out as soon as they get
a chance to sell their land. The peak
of 1881 marks also the advent of new-
labor-saving machinery—the self-bin
der came in about that time. This
change was in. part the cause of the
decline—not so many men were need
ed on the farms. The rising standard
.of living necessitated the abandon
ment of some land. These farms were
sub-marginal for the people who had
accepted higher standards, They
were no longer willing to live on
them. They passed into other hands
to be used largly as pasture fields.
Finally, there is the old, old story—
our economy has been moulded to
suit the supposed interest of the cit
ies and this country, yours and mine,
has paid the price. But the loss- of al
most 44 per cent, of depopulation in
a rural area of excellent farming land
is a pretty high price. The army of
the unemployed is still a portion of
the unsettled bill.
And what of Gorrie and other
towns like it? Will they hold their
own, come back1 or die? The last al
ternative is too sad. The cradle has
passed from the nursery but the bass
inet remains. If the village dies some
thing must take its place and it will
hardly be the city. The role of the
phrophet is difficult. He is h bold
man who puts on printed page the
words: '‘We shall not pass this way
again.” If electric power could be
distributed throughout the province
at equalized rates the small town
would have a chance. Cost of pro
duction is low in these places, the
cost of living also. Then, too, a re
vivified agriculture would do much to
sustain the towns and villages. That
is not in sight as yet but sometimes
I’hear distant rumbling. We have all
seen many changes—we may see
many more and here as elsewhere in
'life we wait arid hope.

game was going like wildfire ait this
time but neither side could net the old
boot heel.
The last two minutes of play was
most exciting. The Indians were lead
ing by the narrow’margin of one goal
and were fighting desperately to hold
this advantage when Bateson was pen
alized. Before Durham could get go

Wingham got a breakaway, Rae car

to score. Durham pulled their goalie
and Rae shoved one in the open net,

scored. With five seconds to go, Rae
shot one into the untended net from

He chap when I read it but I .realized
then for. .the first time that history
was a current thing—that it was made-
every day—at least men then living,
had seen it made. It gave me .quitela
shock.
Another perennial subject for dlis-’
mission was politics. It was a much
more lively subject then than now.,
The elections of Sir John Macdonald
and Alexander Mackenzie were foughtj
and settled in shop and store and mill.
The names of .Blake, Mowat, Hardy1
and Ross were on everybody’s ton-,
g-ue. The interest is not now so keen,
especially on purely political issues..
The farmers are frilly alive to econ-'
omic problems, in my judgment, much'
more interested than those who live
in cities. The township of Howick',
lost much of its population in recent!
years. Neighbors are further apart.
The farmer moves over a wider field.
The automobile has worked strange
changes. People act and think diff--
erently. The cement which held them
together seems to be cracking in
spots. The village discussions are not
so keen as they were years ago—the
audiences are smaller—so also are the
congregations.
It was tn Gorrie I attended my first
political meeting. Dr. Peter Macdon-
old, M.P., the federal member, was
the speaker. I think he must have
come undet the influence of Sir Ri
chard Cartwright, He was the epit
ome of clarity and concision. His fin
gers drew figures in the air as if he
were putting the whole story down
in chalk on the blackboard of the
memories of those who listened to
him. Suddenly that night an old Ir
ishman in the audience shouted, “Doc
tor, what’s the duty on pills?” The
finger cut another figure; he finished
the sentence* he had started and then
answered: *’35 per cent—do you want
a box?” There were no more inter
ruptions!
Ih the early days there was an dM
gentleman by the name of Dubcau
Ferguson, running a hardware store.
From him I received my first lesson
in looking after the cents in the hope
that the. dollars would look after
thetnselves. t went in one day to buy
a pound of three-inch cut nails—they 1
were worth, if I remember correctly, 1
four cents a pound. He weighed them
i with care but the scale failed to bal- 1
ance so long as he stuck to the three- I
inch sizc—so he took out one nail and )
put In another, a shingle nail, an inch i

good :an ^exhibition of the old winter

but it had plenty of action and the
fans went away talking to themselves.

The Indians came to life and missed
some grand chances, the puck was on
the goal line once. Gard was waved
off for the second time, then Lawrence
scored from R, (McGirr to put the In
dians two down. The game was rath
er rugged for a few minutes then Eng

taking Baker’s rebound. Just before
the period ended Beltz was given a 2-
minute penalty.
The old game was all tied up in a
minute of play in the second period.
Proctor did the honors. The boys
scored another in less than a minute
but it was called back as the bell had
gone. Proctor’s goal was the only
score that period. It was a good per
iod, fast, some -clever passing and
some heavy checking. Both Wingham.
Hues stood up well and the fans were
confident when the period ended that
the Indians would take them. Wing

the Ontario Bantam Hockey Associa

5-1. The game was fast and clean, and
both teams used good combination
plays throughout. .
In the first period Carter scored on
a pass from Bell and this was follow
ed by another counter by Anderson on
a pass from Templeman, to put Wing
ham two up. In the second period
Andrew, for Clinton, took a pass from
Steep,, skated into the corner and lob

scored in this period from Hilbert, and
again in the last period on a break
away, Near the end, Hilbert took a
pass from Anderson to make the
count 5-1.

standing skating and stick-handling
ability but was checked closely.
