OffictSisPf Honor On process to the modern wet pro- cess. Back in 1920 there were nine dry kiJns at Point Anrie with a capacity of about 4,200 barrels of cement per day. Then the switch was made to the modern wet process and with the installation in 1936, Point Anne had the biggest ce- ment kiln on the North Ameri- can continent. Since that time two -addi- tional wet kilns have been add- ed, bringing plant capacity to its present 12,000 barrels per day. Plant technique at the big ce- ment plant has improved in, the 37 years which Mr. Legate has been at Point Anne, and, in keeping with the times, also have living conditions. "Everybody got around by horse and buggy when I first came to Point Anne," Mr. Le- gate recalled. "In fact there were only two automobiles in the whole village. The trip to Belleville was made by villagers once a week and then by train. The track which ran from Belleville to Point Anne along the bay shore has long since been taken up. MADE TRIPS BY TRAIN It was in the day when transportation by automobile was still not too reliable and to make certain of arrival time, long trips were made by train. "But soon everyone at Point Anne was driving a car and then, the cycle changed with the de- pression years and nobody had a car." Now the trend has again changed and once more every- one has a car. "Point Anne is a good place | to work," Mr. Legate noted. j Now with his retirement Mr. j Legate's association with the ! Canada Cement Company will !be ended, but the name Legate will still continue with the com- pany. Three out of four of M'\ Le- gate's sons have followed in their father's footsteps and are associated with Canada Cement. His oldest son John is assistant superintendent at the Winni- peg plant; another son Douglas ,'is at Woodstock, while a third son Ben is at the Canada Ce- ment plant at Havelock, in N.B. His youngest son Robert is now attending Carleton University in Ottawa, but in this case Mr. Legate feels the chain will be broken. One daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Matthews, lives in Belleville. Although carrying heavy re- sponsibilities of his post ;?s sup- erintendent and in recent years plant manager at Point Anne, Mr. Legate has still found time to offer his talents in muni- ! cipal and church activities. ON HOSPITAL BOARD For many years he had been a member of the Board of Gov- ernors at Belleville General Hospital and also is a member of the Children's Aid Society. He has been an active mem- ; ber of the Belleville Rotary Club, is a member of the Pro- fessional Engineers, the Engi- neering Institute of Canada, the Fish and Game Club, and is a former member of the Board of Management of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, where he and Mrs. Legate are regular at- tendants. For the future Mr. and Mrs. Legate hope to continue living in Belleville, but they expect to do considerable travelling. "We haven't decided exact- ! ly, but for a start we will go i south for the winter," he said. >
