Canadians are mistaken if they think they dont have distinctive accents one of the countrys best known radio and stage personalities told members of the Barrie Huronia Rotary lub Tuesday have been making my liv ing out of the fact that Cana dians do have accents said Don Harron the Torontoborn actor and writer famed for his role as Charlie Farquharson the homespun comic philosopher from Parry Sound Slipping frequently into his Farquharson role Harron treated the luncheon guests to scveral stories and anecdotes deliberately spiced with characteristic mispronuncia tions as he outlined the origins of the role and highlighted the development of his own career The liarquhaisoii accent he said dates back to childhood visit with family in Allandale That was the first time ever heard that flavor of speech Harron later encountered more of the same while working on farm near Lindsay owned by another branch of the fami IllflWaflIllllVI if if Victono Wood is back in Barrie with all new all

main tloor mud rooms ly and in 1942 in University of Toronto production entitled Spring Thaw Charlie Far quharson was born The image of the staunch basic farmer became even more entrenched in Harrons imagination because of an inci dent which happened to him while training at air force bom bing school in Fingall During practice Harron dropped dummy bomb off target near Lucan hitting manure pile FARMER 0N MANLRE And the farmer was stan ding on top of the pile at the time he told rotary members The farmer knowing he could receive compensation for the accident drove his wagon to the school still covered in manure This was the thing which made me decide this type of character represented Cana dianism at its best Harron said Harron said his ties with rural characters were already strong

back to when he was only 18 months old He was sitting in church in Toronto listening to sermon by his father Sunday school superintendent Sitting behind pillar llar ron could hear his father but could not see him Wanting to attract his attention the young Harron decided to call out to him yelled you big bum and said it about three times before was removed from the church GUESS WHOll BE AT

to draw caricatures by his father who he describes as frustrated cartoonist llarrons talents later led to job in the sound medium of radio when he was asked to do childrens show for CBC in 1936 didnt really want to get in to acting and have never had an acting lesson in my life said Harron who since those early days has performed not only on television and in movies in Canada and the United States but on the stage in England as well aises accents philosophy major at the University of Torontos Vic toria ollcge from 1945 to 1948 Harron performed in several campus productions but it took him about to years to get up enough nerve to perform For quharsons voice on stage Now have even played him in Shakespeare The name he said is actually that of famous surgeon in Toronto When heard it thought what marvelous name llarron who has written several humorous books in cluding Charlie Farquharsons History of Canada lives part of the year at his home in Innisfil Township MEILUN DJ DENTURE THERAPIST
