MEN OF THE TREES March 5, 1944 Dear Mother and Dad: Sunday morning this time-a beautiful day and no work to do, I wvas supposed to go to, a murder trial as a witness this morning about 30 miles away, which woulc have meant leaving about 6 a.m. However I got out of it, but expect to be cailed up either tomorrow or the next day. Some old Italiar was slugged by a couple of blacks and I was asked to see him jùsl before hie died so I got myscîf in for ail this. He would have died in a couple months anyway if lefi alone. Everyone has been kidding me about Bowmaniviile for many months. They ail cali it the 'one horse' town. When I walked into the operating room yesterday there was a big picture taken out of a newspaper (Oshawa paper) pinned up on the wall. It was of 5 of the Cawkers on their horses. Underneath it one of our boys had written, "Who said Bowmanvilie was a one horse town?" So now when anyone refers to Bowman- ville as a one horse town I have proof that it isn't. Have I ever told you about our 'Trinity'? At the beginning o! the Italian campaign it was decided to put the advanced section of the Neurosurgical, Eye and Maxilla- Facial units together because a lot of wounds affect ail these regions at the samne time. Since then we have iived, moved and worked together as one big team and it has been a big success. I think it is the first time it has been done, and ail the administrative people are very pleased with it. We have a very good bunch of officers. I think I have told you about them. There is 'Zed' Zorab who is the eye surgeon, Reggie Murley who -looks and acts just like Mickey Rooney, Eric Dalling the dental surgeon, and Jack Har- bord, our anaesthetist. We are hopîng to get the 'Trinity' back to England for the Western invasion but I don't know what our chances are. What do you think? I got a letter from Ray yesterday, posted on Dec. 26, 1943. The mail is not very good but that seems to be the complaint of most of the Canucks out here. Their parcels are comn- ing through (mine aren't) but they aren't getting their' letters. My old knee has been giving me some. trouble lately but I don't think it will cease to function al together. My hair has become rnuch greyer since I came out to the Middle East s0 you probably won't know me when I get back. E don't think I'm s0 big around the middle either, which. is an im- provement. I will sure need a lot of new clothes wheni I get home. I think I have only one suit and an overcoat if I remem- ber correctly. My practice here is partly made up of Italian civîlians now when were.not busy. 1 have just had " littie boy of 20 months in with "cut on his head. He screamed the place down but we silenced iim with some "if e savers." I also have a few other Italians on the ward-another kid of 12 years vho got shot through the eye into he brain and several others. Please keep trying for films be- ause 1 would like to keep a record of my travels. I'm sitting at my desk looking out over the Adriatic which is quite beautîful today-shimmer- ing in the sun and green, not blue as is the popular belief. The Italian fishing boats with their colored sals add a nice touch to the scene. Love to everyone, HAROLD. ENGAGEM ENT Mr. and Mrs. Leslie J.

Willlanis The officiai March 'bulletin of The Men of The Trees contains the portrait and a biographical sketch of the lately elected Presi- dent, Dr. L. B. Williams, Toron- to. The Men of The Trees is a voiuntary organization, embracing in its membership many noted people, the objective of which is to plant and protect trees and to stimulate general interest in the preservation of one of Canada's greatest assets, its forests, wood- lot, and general sylvan wealth. Dr. Williams needs no introduction to readers o! The Statesman and Durham County people. Aside fromn his medical practice he has pioneered in visual natural history through the use of colored moving pictures which he has shown widely, accompanied with practi- cal addresses on the subject. Nevertheless, we quote fromn the biographical sketch, some of the highlights as printed in the Bul- letin. His first 20 years on the home farm at Enniskillen enigen- dered his continuing interest in conservation and reforestation. He saw the maple bush and sugar making disappear and forest wild flowcrs become almost extinct and set about to do something to pre- serve Canada's national forest solvency. His efforts have been recognized in eleetion to the Presi- dency of Men of The Trees. He taught public school, took a year in medicine, then replenîshed his finances at weekly journalismn and finally graduated in medicine in 1910. He has practiced ever since in Toronto, first as a family doc- tor, then as an office consultant specializing in treating failing- functional conditions through- el- ectro-therapy. He pioneered in this branch of medical science. In 1936 he was an accredited delegate to an international medi- cal convention in London, Eng- land, where Lord Dawson of Penn, the King's Physician, was chair- man . While there he met the present King who mingled with the delegates and later was guest at a banquet tendered by the Lord Mayor of London at the Guildhall, Since that time he has devoted months of tîme, yearly, to visual education and wide travels to bring back for others the geo- graphical, historical and cultural aspects of Canada in story and picture. His schooiday sweet- heart, Sarah Jane Arnott, who married the budding medico, has been his constant companion iîn ail his travels and work. It will be recalled that Mrs. Williams donated the first $5,000 check to the Bowmanville Hospital Board for the benefit of its new build- ing fund. 'One daughter, Mrs. H. P. Purdy, with her husband and two grandchildren of the youth- fui grandparents, reside at Kirk- land Lake. Congratulations to the Doctor on attaining the eminence of President of Men of The Trees. Father, we thank Thee that Thy light and Thy love reach earth, open the prison to themn that are bound, console the innocent, and throw wide the gates of heaven. -Mary Baker Eddy.
