THURS., DECEMBER 9th, 1943 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMAN VILLE, ONTARIO PAGE THREE Rural Conference At Orono Talks Social Reconstruction Sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, a Rural Life Conference met in Orono on Dec. 3rd for discussion of post- war problems having to do with social reconstruction in the rural community. Leading in the dis- cussions were Dr. Thomas Tripp, National Director, Town and Country Department of Congre- gational Churches of the U.S.A.; Rev. R. A. Cameron, Sec'y of the F.C.S.C.; R. A. Stewart, President Lanark C rnty Federation of Ag- riculture nd member of the Board, itario Federation, to- gether e ministers of churches of the County and men and wo- men farmers. The meeting really was an enlarged forum. The conference provided an- other opportunity for enlightened discussions and many ways were suggested by which the Church and the farmer could offer to each greater help and co-operation. Conveners were Rev. S. Little- wood, Orono, and M. H. Staples, Sec'y Agricultural Society. Dr. Tripp gave an extended picture of farm conditions in various parts of the U.S.A. Some of the highlights were. "In de- pression time the farmer eats his fences, eats his clothes, that is, he has nothing to spend and he lets things go," said Dr. Tripp. He was beginning now to want to know more about the social phase of life and so the U.S. had estab- lished in universities a depart- ment of rural sociology, and he suggested that to Canadian uni- versities. Through it trained men go out to help the rural commun- ities. This was true in 48 states. The Presbyterian Church had done extensive work along this line. Then the U.S. government had developed bureaus in small towns and communities. Dr. Tripp spoke of the gradu- ates who must begin their minis- try in the rural areas, and the thing to do was to plan to make it worth while for these bright young men to stay in the com- munities, and they would' if pro- perly financed and looked after. Three-quarters of all the churches are in the rural areas, the speaker pointed out, and they should be looked after. School teachers and ministers in rural areas should be better paid and made satisfied. The progressive thinking of to- day demanded more interest in rural welfare. Social workers were being engaged in small towns and rural communities, and these were maintained out of Gov't and local relief funds. These ideas were bound to be adopted in Canada. Dr. Tripp referred to the Farm Bloc. In the U.S. 4 out of 10 on farms were renters. The Share Cropper was the distressful farm- er. He usually had a large family and the average yearly takings of these share croppers was only $215 per year.

THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION Sterling Tower, Toronto 32 years in Business have specialized training for rural work. A certain type of minister which they try to develop is a weakness. The need is for a variety of types. Every university should have a chair in rural sociology. "Denominationalism is a great problem. There is so much lost motion in it. But the lines are not now so deep as they were," said Dr. Tripp. "Denominations are getting together to solve the rural Church problem, the people demand that and we must heed it or the Church is lost." Garnet B. Rickard, President of the Durham County Federation, as chairman in the afternoon, in- troduced Mr. Stewart who told of the good Farm Forums were do- ing in the districts, and urged that all farmers should join the Feder- ation. He pointed to four dental health services in Lanark County, the direct result of farm forums. He also said there was a greater interest in nominations and all community affairs because of the forums. They started 1people thinking. They got things done. An informative speaker of the afternoon was Rev. R. A. Camer- on, Secretary of F.C.S.C., who spoke on "Post-War Reconstruc- tion" and stated reasons for its necessity. He pointed out the fol- lowing facts: "Only one out of four has electricity, one out of three a phone, 3 out of 5 a radio, 1 out of 5 refrigeration, 1 out of 14 a bathroom, and 1 out of 8 a fur- nace." In talking of the world after the war the speaker emphasized the need of planning and he point- ed out that if money and brains were available for war they were also available in peace for such things as medical services, edu- cation, etc. He pointed out that the question of unemployment must be solved and a feeling of special security given. By and large the conference proved an excellent medium to promote advanced thinking to- ward promoting the Church in the rural areas and the joining to- gether of the Church and the farmer in the interest of both of them. A buffet and basket lunch was served and community singing en- livened proceedings. A few of the questions discussed were: How to counteract post-war in- difference and let-down of morale? "By having a definite purpose to work for." What pur- pose? "Keep the sanctity of the home as an institution." Everybody should have a job after the war, they said. And they all had ideas for jobs. Gov- ernment employment to keep on at the same wartime rate in peace- time... work 'for our young men on highways. . . farm improve- ments. . . reforestation. . . rural electrification. There's a need for equality among all types of agricultural development, and prices should be "based on a reasonable stand- ard of living and equable cost of production." The Church should be the centre of the rural community. Obituaries T. J. T.

SUSAN CRAWFORTH ALLIN In her 84th year, the death oc- curred on Dec. 2, at Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital of Susan Crawford Allin, widow of the late Richard Henry Allin, and, a member of one of the early pioneer families in Whitby district. The deceased was born in a log house in Whitby Township, July 5, 1859, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Crawforth, who came to Canada from England and settled on the old Crawforth homestead in 1847. She was the youngest of a family of ten child- ren, all of whom have passed to the Great Beyond. For the first six years of her married life Mr. and Mrs. Allin lived on the old Allin homestead at Cannington, moving here in 1892. She had lived for 51 years on the farm east of Whitby. Mr. Allin passed away in 1940. She attended the Meth- odist Tabernacle which in 1925 became the United Church. She was a very kind woman, beloved by her neighbors and many friends.

SARAH CATHARINE SWAIN On Nov. 18, Sarah Catharine (Katie) Swain, passed quite sud- denly fhto the larger, richer life. Deceased was daughter of Thomas and Eliza Werry and was born Nov. 16, 1863, on Concession 4, not far from Blackstock. On Feb. 3, 1892, she was united in mar- riage with Stanford Swain, who predeceased her March 22, 1936. Shortly afterward they moved to what was known as the Woodley Farm, Cartwright, where she re- sided during the remainder of her life. Mrs. Swain was born into a home where religion was deeply rooted and where the heads of the household possessed a rich devotion for the Christian Church. and its various enterprises, con- sequently, at quite an early age her parents provided her instruc- tion on the organ in the hope she might utilize this training in the service of the Church; this she did and for many years was organist both in the Sunday School when she also taught and in the Church. Throughout all her years she never failed to give of her talents in support not onlyoI the Church, but oi the Women's Institute and any other good cause seeking to serve the community. While her service in the fields referred to was of a very com- mendable character, she possibly exerted an even finer influence by the nature of her life in the home. She combined in her life, the rich values of a good house- keeper and a great homemaker. Her aptness for work and her un- usual charm of spirit made pos- sible this accomplishment. The hours of her days were filled with faithful work and yet in it all and through it all there ran like a golden thread-a song; as though she were truly happy to be alive and happy to have a place of ser- vice in the Father's world. This spirit of joyousness and victory in life, radiated itself not just to *the members of the family, but to a great circle of relatives and friends who crossed the threshold of her home. Her entire life pro- claimed a calm steadfast faith in a Father of love and mercy. If to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die - then she surely lives and shall live. There is left to mourn the pass- ing of a good and gracious wo- man, these children: Lewis, Her- bert and Harold, Blackstock, Weir of Timmins, Annie (Mrs. M. R. Sanderson, Toronto), Margaret (Mrs. Oakley Carley, Cavan). The second son, Roy, was killed in France, June 8, 1917; two bro- thers, Albert Werry, Blackstock, and Lewis Werry, Punta Gorda, Florida, and one sister, Nora (Mrs. Andrew Power, Lindsay), and 12 grandchildren. The funeral service was con- ducted by Rev. Bruce Harrison, assisted by Archdeacon Simpson. Her minister based his remarks on the text, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints." A former pastor and close friend, Rev. R. G. Carruthers, To- ronto, being unable to attend, ex- pressed by a communication, read by her minister, his high regard for what he termed "A Beautiful Life." Pallbearers were nephews: William VanCamp, Wilbert Werry, Carman W e r r y, H a r r y VanCamp, Harold Werry, Wilfred Power. The beautiful floral tributes besides those from relatives and friends included wreaths from Blackstock United Church W.A., Victorian Women's Institute, North Parkdale United Church W.A., North Parkdale Official Board.

James, The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ont. Dear George: With The Statesman today came the sad and tragic news of the death of "Bud" Living in Italy. His passing is like the passing of a loved brother and my heart goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Living, and to John and Jean, in the great loss that is their's. I hope you will let me pay a little tribute to him. You see Bud was very close to me, and I doubt if anyone in Bowmanville knew him as well. You see I was not only his Scoutmaster, but also his Sunday School teacher, his fellow worker in The Statesman office, and as a friend of the Living fam- ily, close to him in his home life. So I was privileged, as few others were, to know Bud in every phase of his life. He was a member of the 1st Bowmanville Troop when I be- came its Scoutmaster. Later he became a Patrol Leader, and then the right hand man of the Scout- master, as Troop Leader. He went to four of my summer camps, and became almost as closely associ- ated as a brother. Loyalty was one of his great virtues, and ever since joining the army I have heard from him reg- ularly, the last time, a Christmas card with the words "Buon Natale," Good Christmas, just two days before I learned of his death. In one of his letters Bud was good enough to say he learned much from his association with me. Little did he know that I learned from him far more than he ever learned from me. He was a shining example of a clean cut, clear thinking, sincere and loyal Canadian boy. As such I learned a lot from him. He was the type of boy that Bowmanville could ill afford to lose. Quiet, modest, unassuming, and yet thoroughly dependable, .he was typical of what we mean by "a good citizen." His parents and family suffer greatly in his passing, and I know the sympathy of the whole com- munity goes out to them, as this soldier son of a soldier father passes to another world where war, and hate, and sorrow are no more. To my old home Bow- manville-I extend sympathy in the loss of such a promising young citizen, who with many others of his friends had those qualities of character and solidity which make for the stability of any com- munity. If the true spark of religious A great amount of time is con- and civil liberty be kindled, it sumed in talking nothing, doing will burn. Human agency cannot nothing, and indecision as to what extinguish it.-Daniel Webster. one should do. Sincerely yours, W g U U W i u aqu B. H.
