Canadian Orator Dies At 78; Emigrated From Wales In 1912

TORONTO. (CP) — Leonard,

Brockington, one of Canada’s foremost or ators, who died Thursday at 78, made his repu- tation as an orator with state- ments such as:

“Tl am proud to be a citizen of Canada, a* land too wide for intolerance or narrow racial- ism. a land where the prevail- ing wind is the wind of free- dom. And for one like myself, the Commonwealth stands above all for human brother- hood. We ae all. citizens of one city—the world.”

In the same speech to the 1939—House—of Commons broad: casting committee he said:

"Freedom is not for sale at $50 gi

a minute on the air. If it were,

into just a sign outside a filling station."

Mr. Rrockington tmmigrated to Canada from Wales in 1912. Speaking of the French-English division he said: ‘I have seen, as every Canadian must see, that the marriage of true minds of English-speaking and French- speaking Canada is indissoluble and perpetual. 1 have felt that Canada will find her national soul in the fulness of her splen dor. on that day when we take

pride in each other and this. na- |

tion realizes that her inheritance of two langiages and two. cul- tures ics a strength, not a weak- ness.
