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,

A. H. 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. Follow-
ing the successful operating .of the
Canadian Onion Week, I decided to

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-

comment of our most important bus-

its importance to Canada, is it not
worth a lot of energy being expend-
