and ever more important, in its attitude
to visitors and shoppers."
"We dream a great deal about the
benefits which would accrue " to our
community if another .industry could
be persuaded to locate here --and no
single aspect of industry -hunting is
more important than the attractiveness
of the town and its people."
"The town's development committee
is presently engaged in the production
of an interesting little folder which will
be available in quantity for distribution
at the plowing match. The folder seeks
to gain attention for Wingham as a
potential industrial site and the chief
attributes to which it points are the
friendly atmosphere of the community,
combined with the very latest in edu-
cational, recreational, health and so-
cial amenities."
The important aspect of the whole
matter is summed up in the' concluding
words where the Advance Times says,
"No committee, .,however enthusiastic,
can sell a community unless every citi-
zen of the place is co-operating to the
fullest extent. In the final lanalysis it
is up to us, the people who live here, to
prove what a fine town we call our
own."
Certainly this is' something that each
of us must remember. It is people that
make the difference.—
task which faces the people of Huron
in acting as hosts for the big event.
The Wingham Advance Times points
this out in a recent editorial comment
and stresses the role which must be
assumed by each municipality if full
advantage is to be taken of the occa-
sion.
"So far we haven't heard much talk
around the town about the forthcoming
International Plowing Match which will
be held this fall on land north of Sea -
forth," the Wingham paper says and
continues, "It is time to -take an active
interest in this event, by far the larg-
est and most important one on the farm
calendar."
"Although Wingham is not the clos-
est town to the site of the match, it is
certainly close enough to feel the im-
pact of the throngs who will be attend-
ing. All public services such as eating
establishments and service stations will
benefit from a wave of extra trade,
from those travelling to and from the
match, as will our retail merchants."
Proper emphasis is placed on the at-
titudes which Huron people generally
and business people particularly, must -
adopt to the visitors in our midst.
"The Seaforth district is the closest

Of Great Trials

Canada in her infant years as
a nation met and survived many
a crisis. But these were just
7r}'grow,ing pains, part of the proc-
• ess of maturing into an adult.
.•In the years following Wilfrid
Laurier's reign, 'the problems
became far more critical . and
complex.- Robert Borden and the
Conservatives took power after
Laurier, and he found himself
saddled with the responsibility
of plunging the country into
World War I.
The challenge was ably met.
Within two months, Borden's,..
Minister of Militia, Sam
Hughes, was training 33,000 vol•
nnteers at Valcartier, Que. ' On
Oct. 14, 1914, they arrived in
England as the first' Canadian
Division assembled. Be fore
war's end, Canada would send a
total of 619,636 men into battle.
Thougli the toll was terrible
(Canada lost 60,661, men), the
nation also gained considerably
from the war. The Great War
did much to Industrialize the
economy. We emerged from the
war as an independent nation,
signing the peace treaty sepa-
rately, and with our own charter
membership in the League of
Nations. Canada gained auton-
omy in her foreign affairs.
But the conscription issue
split the nation between English
and French Canadians, and left
a scar that remains to this day.
In Quebec City, Civilians in 1917
fought in the streets with sol-
diers, and four men died.
It was Arthur Meighen, while
in Borden's Cabinet, who formu-
lated the Military Service Act of
1917, which introduced conscrip-
tion. Mdiglien succeeded Borden
in 1920 as Prime- Minister, brit

that in 1929 Canada experienced
the shock of the Wall street
stock crash and the world-wide
depression. King called an elec-.
lion in 1930, but was defeated by
the Tories under R. B. Bennett.
Bennett found he had inherited
financial chaos, severe urban
unemployment, drought and ca-
tastrophic crop failure in Sas-
katchewan. He raised the tariff
wall, and put farm credit under
tight government supervision.

as prime minister in 1935, and
in September, 1939,. was con-
fronted with a new challenge —
World War II. King reacted with
a highly efficient,, war program
and a regimented economy.
Conscription became an issue
again. In 1940 King won the
election promising there would
be no drafting of men into the
services, but by 1942 heavy
casualty losses forced him to go
to the nation with a plebiscite
on conscription. Conscription
was approved generally, al-
though Quebec voted, against it.
World War II ended, and in
1948 Louis St. Laurent succeed-
ed King as Liberal leader and

Germany and Italy had been de-

new threat to world peace
Communism. He was one of the
first national leaders to call for
a regional allianceof nations to
check the ambitions of Soviet
Russia. On April 4, 1949, Canada
was among the first 12 nations
to sign the NATO treaty.
St. Laurent was defeated by
John Diefenbaker dtie chiefly to
the sensational "Pipe -line De-

turn chose Nobel Peace Prize
