    Looking over Toronto's railway yards, Sanford Duplassie, 25, left White River in June when CP Rail laid off workers. There's a future here, he says. Only one of his friends has remained in the north. There's nothing there for the younger person. There's no industry. There's nothing. Over half the town is made up of pnsioners. His father is one of them. Sanford's 11 brothers and sisters are scattered across North America, from Texas to British Columbia.
