EE i LETT TT TTT E FTES P Ee ~ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1937 PAGE THREE | Bowmanville Daily Times Representatives Phone No. 53 PROF. CHESTER GAVE ADDRESS Spoke to Women's Canadian Club on Canada of 100 Years Ago Professor Chester New, of the Tor- onto University addressed a large op- en meeting of the Women's Canadian Club yesterday afternoon in Lrinity United Church Sunday school on the subject "Cunada 100 years ago" Many members of the Men's Cana- dian Club were present to hear the speaker who is a son-in-law of Mr. , H, H. Jury, of Bowmanville, Pro- essor New was introduced by the president, Mrs. Rev, George Mason. In the early part of his address Professor New traced the history of Canada up until the decade front 1831 until 1840 on which period he mainly addressed his remarks. It was re- markable, he said, .to think what haa been accomplished in just a century for looking back to this period the country was only in it's pioneer state, Most of Ontario 'was 'dense forest, roads were few and travel was diffi- cult, He illustrated the times by the story of the English couple who land- ed at Kingston and proceeded to their home in the forest west of York "(Toronto) in 1831, The two children of the family died on the road and the little family reached its destina- © tion after many days of travel in an ox-cart. The times were hard, some cursed ~ them, some quit, some drank them- selves to death and some, the hardy pioneers to whom Ontario owes most of its wellbeing today stuck it out 'wand succeeded. This latter type did 2 4t more for the sake of their children, They paid the price and made the sacrifice by their endurance against terrible odds and made the country . for us who live a hundred years later. For food the chief thing was bread and salt pork of which their was an abundance and everybody drank a great deal of whiskey, It was made n those days under license while many made it without license show- ing that even in those days bootleg- ers were known. When it was ound that drink and the hard life on the farm did not agree temperance among farmers became known and this temperance had been a general feature of farm life ever since. The roads were terrible in those i. days and a good horse generally 'made a speed of 1% miles an hout = while on the best roads from York to © Hamilton the stage would take be- tween 12 and 24 hours to make the 140 mile trip which is now made in ione or less hours, " The newspapers of those days were o! better the speaker claimed, than they "flare today, The editorials, although sarcastic were better written and more Rngent than they are today. 5 He told of the firts steamer to cross Z the Atlantic, the Royal William and =" spoke of the two greatest men in the » decade, John Strachan and William = Lyon Mackenzie, He told of the Durham report ~iwhich brought democratic govern- wyment to this country, and which re- ~iport he wrote a book on last year swinning the British Empire Prize, i Mrs. T. W. Cawker moved a "thearty vote of thanks to the speaker ~+and Mrs. Dr, C. W. Slemon seconded «ithe motion. A short musical program «was also given at the meeting.
