P.E.l.. has lived under the reign of several British Mon- archs. has voted in 21 federal elec- tions. and has lived to see the reap- ing hook and flail replaced by the modern combine-harvester. When Mr. Cameron was a youth. Island farmers carried on their affairs in much the way' people did in Europe for centuries. They performed their labors either with this hands or with sonis crude equipment. when they builded, they used the simplest kinds of materials and methods. Their tra- veling was by water routes. in two-wheeled carts, or on foot. Their tools were primitive, their wants few and easily supplied. their comforts scanty, their conveniences limited. ' Looking back over a century. our grand old citizen still can recall an age in which there were no tele- phones, no telegraph, no rural mail delivery, no trains, steamboals or airplanes, not even a. buggy. Electric lights were far in the future when Cameron was a boy. and not even a kerosene lamp could be found throughout the province. Light when needed was furnished by the old tallow can- dle. Mostly, though, Island folk went to bed at sundown and arose at the first peep of day. There were no sewing machines, no farm machinery such as far- mers use today. Practically all work was done by hand and the sweat of one's brow. Newspapers such as we know. were yet to come. and only winding forest trails led from one settlement to another. There was no knowledge of mic- robes or disease germs, and no use of anesthetics in surgery. 0 . C 0 Indeed, it is scarcely .posslblc for our generation to conceive of life in such a time as that. And yet Alexander Cameron lived in those days. It has been within his memory that these and almost countless other comforts and con- veniences came into general use. Recalling earlier days. Mr. Cam- eron remembers when almost every- body everywhere believed that hu- man progress had reached its limit. He knows better now. and believes that another century will bring forth as many remarkable inventions as has the century he has lived to see come and go. With the world only one-tenth of a second wide. and with atomic energy only in its infancy, he feels that the won'detrs and mar- vels he has seen come into daily use will be eclipsed by the wonders yet to come. He that so it may. Mr. Alexan- der Cameron has lived to see great- er development in his century than in all previous time. Think of it! only a very few reach the cen- tury mark. and most of those who do are to feeble and senile to recall past events. But lldr. Cameron has passed that milestone-by almost 2'5 years.
