"With
natural
wealth
untouched
by
the
ravages
of
war
and
in
the
midst
of
a
world
standing
In
need
of
everything,
Canadians
can
envisage
a
great
field
of
opportunity,"
S.
W.
Falrweather,
vice-president
of
research
and
development,
CanadiahNational
Railways,
told
the
annual
meeting
of
the
Board
of
Trade
here.
"We
see
a
country
stored
with
riches
almost
beyond
the
power
of
comprehension;
a
half
continent
rich
In
every
form
of
natural
resources
from
which
we
Cana
dian
citizens
draw
our
existence
and
based
on
them
have
achiev
ed
a
security
and
a
standard
of
living
for
which
we
may
be
truly
thankful."
Without
railway
service
Can
ada
could
not
exist
as
the
high
ly
productive
organic
unit
which
meant
so
much
to
her
people
in
their
daily
lives,
Mr.
Fair-weather
said.
Whether
they
know
or
not,
the
service
rendered
by
the
Canadian
National
entered
Into
the
life
of
every
citizen
pf
Canada.
Every
seaport
and
every
city
in
Canada
was
served
by
the
system,
which
extended
direct
service
to
88
per
cent
of
the
population.
It
was,
therefore,
but
just
and
fair
to
consider
that
the
major
proportion
of
opportunity'
would
be
based
on
Canadian
National
service
as
in
the
past.
"The
moving
spirit
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
Its
reason
for
existence
Is
public
service,"
Mr.
Falrweather
concluded.
"I
predict
that
with
a
continuing
faith
in
this
great'
country
of
ours,
the
service
rendered
by
the
Canadian
National
Railways
will
continue
to
create
opportunities
for
our
capital
and
our
people
to
the
end
that
we
may
haye;
an
increasingly
prosperous
Canada."
