Mr. cises were, singing of Hymn ter which we repeated together The Apostles' Creed. Mrs. J. Wilson led in prayer followed by The Lord's Prayer in unison. Mrs. Wellwood conducted the Scripture Reading, Ps. '72, and told how the verse "He shall have dominion from sea to sea," had been used by Mr. Tilley, one of the Fathers of Confederation, in naming our Dominion of Canada, because it stretches from sea to sea. Mrs. Blake then gave a paper on our Study "Can- adian for the day Can- adian Missions East and West." As Mrs. Blake has travelled in Western Canada and visited some of the Mis- sion Schools she made her address doubly interesting by adding some of her personal experiences. Hymn 293 was sung, followed by silent prayer, Mrs. Field then called on the speaker of the day, Mrs. Gowdy, of Salem, to give her report of the branch meeting held in St. Thomas, NO INC. `'EASE IN THE PRICE OF SALAD TEA DESPITE THEE° NEW DUTY and INCREASE IN SALES .

Wilford's Speech President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I know it is customary, also polite, to express pleasure on being in at- tendance at such a gathering as this. However, I believe you will apprec- iate that itis a real pleasure for me to be invited to take part, not only in your local programme, but also to come to my native County to take part in the official announcement of one of the greatest campaigns which has ever been launched in Canada. Home -corning Re -unions have been organized in forty Counties of the Province of Ontario. During this period of depression, I have felt that every true Canadian ought to do the thing that he is best fitted to do. Is this not a time for action instead' of sitting around find- ing fault with everyone else and, in general, feeling sorry for oneself? The General Manager of a succes- sful Toronto manufacturing corpor- ation made the. statement in an in- terview last week that there are on- ly two ways in which to face a per- iod of depression. They are: Stand- ing up determining to ,fight to the finish, or lying down content to wait for better times. I read this inter- view with great interest because 1 personally know the officials of the organization. A few days afterwards 1 saw a financial statement of the same business firm. The interview said they were not only standing up but hustling for business. Their fin- ancial statement proved that to be the case No matter where I go, from one side of Ontario to the other, towns and cities are asking for industries. Boards of Trade, Chambers of Com- merce, industrial commissioners are being rushed throughout the United States asking for branch factories to be established in Canadian 'towns. This is all very good - excellent work - but all towns in Ontario are not successful in securing industries. There is one industry that every town. can receive benefits frond, that is the tourist industry. This is an industry that every village, every town, every city in Ontario can have. The extent of the industry and the benefits to. each place will very large- ly depend upon the service and treat- ment that business men and citizens extend to tourists passing through, My home is in the Border Cities. I spend hours talking to tourists com- ing into Canada and those going home. It is the most interesting place that I have ever found. Those who come to Canada are all expect- ing great things of Canada; those who are going back are either satis- fied or dissatisfied. The satisfied tourists are a good advertisement; the diss �ttsfied ones, unfortunately, hurt us. Being pleasant and courte- ous to these people pays great divi- dends. Do riot be afraid to work hard at selling, The American likes ask the people of Ontario to carry a good;salesman and will .buy from a good salesman in preference to one who does not care. I believe that ev- ery town, every village, should, in the first place, see that there is at least one mighty good place to eat, Then, at noon time, 'or at night, let every merchant when he Sees a United States license plate, shake hands with the occupant and ask if he has yet had a good meal and tell him the place to go. Do not be afraid to do this. You are doing Ontario a lot of good. You are doing your own business lots of good by keeping the tourists away From a place that is unfit to, enter, to say nothing of place to east. 1 fully believe that if we are kind to the tourist that we could have that business greatly in- creased this year, regardless of the great depression that is passing ov- er the world. There are people who still have money that they are going to spend on travel. Why should we not make an effort to have that class of` people visit Ontario -the place of such beauty, where those from the Southern States :especially' could en- joy the coolness of Ontario sum - niers? I was criticised by some of my friends for calling this a "Whisper- ing Campaign." However, that is. what I had hoped it to be -a Whis- pering Campaign -one person. whisp- ering to' another that Mabel and her family were coming home during the County Old Boys' Re -union Week: Newspapers, radio stations, and oth- er agencies were responsible for the Campaign breaking forth from a whispering campaign to that of'one more loud in its announcements. During the Campaign we have en- joyed the support of many Ontario newspapers, some magazines, and nearly all radio broadcasting stations. They have given publicity that 1 did not expect. For instance, there has come to our office in Toronto, news- papers, marked, showing what pub- licity has been given here and there throughout Ontario. We have clip- ped these stories and measured them, and up to date, while we do not ex- pect that we have received a record of nearly all of them, we have a total of sixteen yards of publicity. I mean by that sixteen yards of one column newspaper space. Now, sixteen yards of newspaper space would be worth very little if it were all pub- lished in one paper. These papers covered the entire Province, each do- ing a little bit. One magazine, in one issue, devoted forty inches of one - column space to this Campaign. Nearly every radio station in Ontario has given liberally of their time. Who can estimate the influence of the'rad- io? How many million people in the United States alone, saying nothing of Canada, heard the four announce- ments last week telling Ontario peo- ple in the United States that forty Counties were having re -unions in Ontario? We have no way, and will not have any way of knowing exact- ly the number of persons who will return because of this Campaign. However, we do know of certain per- sons who are making the trip espec- ially because of the publicity given by these agencies. We owe the greatest possible appreciation to ev- eryone who has taken any part in the Campaign. We suggest that if you are desir- ous of seeing anyone in the native County this summer that you write a making arrange- mentsto that person, ma g ran g ments to meet. during the County Old Boys' Re -union. We have forty Counties working quietly in this cam- paign. The Reeves have been advised of the dates. If the Reeve of your municipality has not received that in- formation, he can communicate with the Warden, who has signed an of- ficial invitation. Many addresses have been given to County Councils, Chambers of Com- merce and Service Clubs. Hundreds of thousands of people are talking about the Campaign. Hundreds of thousands of letters have been writ- ten, and there is being prepared a beautifully arranged invitation, bear- ing the invitation of the Warden of each County, also the greeting of Premier 1'-lenry, joining with the business men of each County. These invitations will be distributed next week through the local business peo- ple of the Province. We hope you will follow up your personal invita- tions by sending one of these official invitations to everyone whom you would Iike to see during the week of your County Re -union. It is a matter of personal pleasure that I have been invited to corse to my native County tonight, and from this platform take part in the open- ing of this great campaign. Those of you who know me best, know that I am not an orator, However, I do admit that I am more or less success- ful in organization work. My defin- ition of an organizer is; A man who starts something and is able to find enough people to. finish it.

I have felt that with the business hien of Ontario working with the officials of the County that this Campaign is going to have an ef- fect on a general business revival in the Province of Ontario. If our tour- ist industry has been worthy of the. comment of our most important bus- iness leaders, when they tell us of its importance to Canada, is it not worth a lot of energy being expend- ed upon it, having as our principal object the increasing of that import- ant industry? No one has been ask- ed to do fnuch, but everyone is asked to write a few letters, advising their friends and relatives of the operation of the Canu.pign, conspires T dstroy fence \. \ \ , ..\\ .„:„.„ \_,,,,,„ \ \ \\,,, \,- \\\\ N.,L . \\, \ •,..\ .tip \ \\,,,,,, :e r� .r From the moment of erection, farm fencing must fight against the elements.
