OSHAWA THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 88 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1953 SECOND SECTION By HELEN CATHCART Hallmarked as the busiest man of 1953, is a millionaire peer who is now working day and night preparing and supervising every detail of Queen Elizabeth's corona- tion. As a nine-year-old boy he in- herited a fortue of $50,000,000 and a castle second only in size and splendor to Windsor itself. People even pitied the exalted loneliness of young Berard Marmaduke Fitz Alan-Howard the Duke of Nor- folk, but today he plays a fore- most role amid the living pageant of our times. The British Commonwealth constitutionally swore to accept only a protestant upon the throne, yet by a typically neat compromise all royal] funerals and coronations are stage-managed by a staunch Roman Catholic. He also has to be called in to organize the procedure of royal marriages, state openings and closings of parliament and other great ceremonial occasions. As head of the College of Arms, he is the chief adviser--and jealous watchdog--in matters affealing heraldry and precedent. It is his duty to introduce bashful new peers to the House of Lords and, in court orders, he 'determines and orders all matters touching arms, ensigns of nobility, honor or chivalry." All this has happened because ah ancestor of nearly 500 years Butler of England," to stand at the royal right hand in the coron- figurehead.

But come with me across the drawbridge into gray-walled Arun- del castle, with its solid silver statuary, old masters and price- less furnishings. The oaken baronial hall is so large that troops by the thousand danced or were entertained there in World War II. A thousand American troops were quartered in the east wing alone. When Princess Mar- garet came dancing one night last year there were 1,700 supper guests. In the library, 40 yards long, the duke sometimes works late into the might. cestral por- traits gaze down the castle walls. One poetic and dreamy soul was beheaded because he dared to show the royal arms on his portrait. Another died in prison under the first Queen Eliza- beth after refusing to recant his Catholic faith. With a dukedom dating back to 1483--longer than any other ducal line if one excepts little Prince Charles' title as Duke of Cornwall--Norfolk is also Britain's premier duke and earl. His family annals extend over a thousand years and part of the castle dates back to the Norman conquest. On the other hand, Cromwell demolished most of it and American visitors find themselves The present duke's father took a hand in building up the battle- ments himself. After a day's hard work he looked so grubby that a woman at the railway station once gave him sixpence and asked him to call her a taxi. The old duke was delighted that he wore the coin on his watch- chain for the rest of his life! Despite his fabulous wealth, i often happened that the old man was mistaken for @ down-and- in pity. In Arundel, which he practically owned, a boy once asked him' to hold a bicycle winlle he mended a puncture. Even in his castle grounds he was hauled off the lawns by a woman who indignantly pointed to & 'Keep Off the Grass' sign. "It's the likes of you as loses privileges for the likes of us," she told him. "I'm a duke, so I can dress as I like," the old man said. He was once stopped from entering his own carriage through being mistaken for an intruder. Hurrying to a levee, he used to walk through the streets of London carrying his miagnificient uniform erumpled in a bursting brown paper parcel. The present duke is of different stuff. Senior steward of the jockey club, he once maced two horses humorously called St. Peter and St. Paul and incidentally .|he has learned how to noose a deft lasso from an . American rodeo star. The duke's tennants still tell of his coming - of - age. Besides a reputed 1% ton of gold and silver plate, he inherited 49,900 acres, country seats in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, several square miles of rents in Sheffield and the whole seaside town of Littlehampton. The dancing and junketing went on for days. Oxen were roasted whole, flowers strewn in his path as he ed to church and the 175-lb. birthday cake stood five feet high. Speculation ran rife on whom he would marry. Ome day while hunting, the youthful duke took a tumble. A preity 19-year- old girl stopped to pick him up-- and became his bride. Four daughters have enriched their happiness but there is still no son. Thus the hereditary title of ear] marshall may one day pass to the outer fringes of the family. "Money," says the duke philo- sophically, "has less to do with happiness in life than anything else, taking a long-term point of view. It's health that counts!" Public Needs Right To Criticize Education REGINA (CP)--Dr. W.P. Thomp- son, president of the University of Saskatchewan, says the lay public should not be denied the right to criticize education. Such criticism indicates the vital interest of the public in all phases of teaching. Dr. Thompson told the students of the College of Education here that he was much less disturbed _|by the general criticisms than by the replies of some educationists. Teachers had been attributing false motives to the critics. "Educators accuse critics of being 'tight-fisted' and wanting to keep down taxes, of writing sensa- tional articles to earn money, of bting constitutional reactionaries, and of being ignorant of the sub- ject about which they are writing," said Dr. Thompson. "Perhaps it is true that the public doesn't know much about the successes of education and bears all too much of its failures." Dr. Thompson recalled 'violent criticism" directed at doctors and medical schools about 1910, and suggested that colleges of educa- tion and téachers throughout the country are perhaps experiencing a similar phase. "Many medical reforms were en- acted as a result of that criticism," he said. "Public confidence in the |be flooded medical profession has steadily in- creased until today doctors enjoy almost unrivalled prestige." Dr. Thompson did not suggtst that professional education is in need of reform similar to that of the medical profession 40 years ago. But he expressed the hope that the current suspicion and criticism would have a similar outcome.

L. JONES | Canadian Press Staff Writer | OTTAWA (CP)--Spring sunshine | nowadays warms the shapely curves of a sleek, 38-foot home- made cabin cruiser built in a barn more than a mile from water. The work of one man and cost- ing an estimated $10,000, the cruiser boasts almost every mod- ern nautical device. She now is on a muddy lakebed in the heart of Ottawa, awaiting flooding of the 120-year-old Rideau canal to start her trial run. Passersby linger to admire her trim lines. Few know the story be- hind her birth. It goes back four years and represents the sudden determination of a man to create something. Until then Len Greene, tall and husky 50-odd:year-old Ottawa-born civil servant, wasn't much inter- ested in building anything. A bach- elor, he hadn't felt the call of the sea or ships. Then came the urge. BARN FOR WORKSHOP He decided to build a boat, some- thing substantial. He assembled a workshop in a dilapidated barn on the outskirts of Ottawa. By day he worked at his job in the exhibition branch of the trade department; by night on the boat. He spent an estimated 6,000 hours laying the keel, ribbing, planking and decking, and hammering home thousands of copper-bronze nails. He doesn't see anything unusual in the feat. "I read a couple of books," he sald in an interview, "It was no more difficult than building a couple of houses. Anyone who can learn to handle a few tools and isn't' scared of hard work can build a boat." He hasn't decided on the name but, being a sentimental fellow, he thinks he'll christen the white-and- blue cruiser Mary Bird, his moth- us maiden Raile, overs who have inspected the white hull--from clipper stem to twin-screw gasoline engines-- marvel, '""She's sweet," they say. IN DOW'S LAKE The cruiser now is, in drained Dow's lake, part of the Rideau tanal system, bordering the capi- tal's scenic driveway. Not far away is the federal experimental farm. About May 1 the canal will "I hope she floats," said Mr. Greene with a grin. This 1s no dream boat, for the builder is a practical man. And he approached the job in 1948 with method and far-sightedness. There were many problems but the tough- est were selecting a building site fs obtaining materials and fit- 5. He rented a barn from a farmer. A war-surplus generator fed the electric lights necessary for night work. He got a power sander, saws, drills, built a steam box to bend the ship's ribs and obtained a set of plans from a Far Rocka- way, N.Y. designer. He confided in few persons to keep interruptions to a minimum. Occasionally friends dropped around to offer advice and en- couragement. THREE-MILE HAUL The boat this month was ready for launching. The builder called in the haulers. The end of the barn was knocked out and the cruiser was pulled on her cradle by win- ches aboard =a big trailer-truck. She was carried about three miles to the lakebed. There was no trouble. The cruiser will' sleep six and has the most modern fittings. There is a plastic hatch on the foredeck. She has a fine galley, foam-tubber sleeping bunks, re- mote control power devices and an after-hatch set in foam rubber that can be lifted to reach the steering mechanism and gasoline and water tanks. Until retirement eight or nine years hence Mr. Greene plans to cruise the Rideau lakes and the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers. After that, who knows? Perhaps a trip to Mots Wulers for a re- rement m people can only dream about.
