JEWELL - "BIG 6"20"P 27 Ring St W., flowmanville PHONE 556 tion in Los Angeles on June 28- July I. The N.I.A.A. is the largestoex- clusive organization of advertis. ing men - it boasts of over 4,000 menibers i the United States and Canada. Every year the conven- tion is attended by leading figures li the business, industnial, and ad- vertisinfg worlds; every year, one day is set aside as "Canada Day," and problems pertinent to Can- adian merchandising are discuss- ed. This year the principal Can- adian speaker is to be Col. Barrett. Col. Barrett's training and career suit bim admirably for the task of speaking to a predomin- antly American audience on the "Canadian Way of Life." He is well versed in the bistorical and cultural background of t h a t country, and bis position as a leader li industnial and commun- ity life qualifies bim to speak witb autbority on conditions "north of the 49th parallel." Born in Hamilton li 1904, he was endowed by nature with an athletic frame, which be now filîs at 6' 11/2" and 195 pounds. As a youth, "track" was his par- ticular forte and he ran for Cen- tral Collegiate, Hamilton, under Capt. Cornelius, who produced Dominion Championship teams dunring the '20's and competed1 with success at the Penn Relay Games. During the early years of bis life he cultivated a deep love for music that bas stayed witb him, and be is equally at home enjoying Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the drawing-room, or, playing "Roll Out the Barrel" at the Veterans' Club on Saturday night. ,Orme is one of those gifted per- sons whose charm and dignîty is recognized by everyone; above all, he is a man's man. He bas a flair for the dramatic, and a real un- derstanding and sympathy of his fellow-worker. On leaving Higb Scbool. Orme entered Osgoode Hall Law School at Toronto in 1926. While stili a student at Osgoode, he associated bimself with the Law Department of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of Canada, Limited, and on his graduation, became a legal adviser to the Company. His advancement with Good- year bas constantly progressed.1 lI 1931 he became Assistant Secretary and General Counsel and, in 1932 was promoted to1 Secretary and General Counsel. In 1946, after having served over- seas for five and a haîf years, he was appointed Assistant to the President. His military career bears the same stamp of distinction; he was always interested in the arrny, having beld an officer's commis sion since 1928 in the Reserver Force. On Sept. lst, 1939, Orme 1 Wi nchester C 10 A R 9 TT9S TEE CANAD!M( STATNSMAIr. U6W~AIIVff.Y L AIrUAWmjA~ WE5 . Col. O. H. Barrett and was awarded the Efficiency Decoration. Col. Barrett's interest in the army did not cease on termina- tion of hostilities. In 1947 hie as- sumed the post of Chairman of the Canadian Conference of De- fence Association and became President of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Association, which latter office be again as- sumed in 1949. In August, 1949, hie was appointed Honorary Col. Commandant of the Royal Can- adian Army Service Corps. Orme Barrett regards bis recent unan- imous election as President of tbe Goodyear Overseas Vete ra ns' Club an equally important respon- sibility. In the industrial world as well, Orme Barrett bas been recognized as a leader. During twenty-five years of service witb Goodyear, he bas climbed to a top execu- tive position: bis ability to deal witb men, to organize,* to lead, and to translate ideas into action, have been acknowledged by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Manufacturers' As- sociation and the Toronto Board of Trade. During the past year be served as a member of the executive committee of the Canadian Man- ufacturers' Association, and as chairman of its Legislation Cern- rnittee, and was recently elected Elonorary Treasurer of the To- ronto Board of Trade. Orme is also a director of the Community Cbest of Greater Toronto, serv- ing during the past year as Vice- Chairman of the Budget Coni- amittee. He i also a director of the Toronto Brancb of the Can- adian Red Cross Society and an active Rotarian. It would be bard te find a Canadian wbo bas devoted more time, and service, to community life in Canada, or to find a man w~ho better personifies the free- dom of enterpnise which bas nade his country honourable in blusi- ness, and the best place te work and live. Due te bis expenience in lI- lustry, and to bis interest in Canada, Orme Barrett is indeed capable of discussing with Amner- icans the merchandising and in- lustnial potential of Canada and the future joint operation of the American-Canadian team in world trade and affains of state. The audience on "Canada Day" at the National Industrial Advertiser's Association 1950 Convention will have good reason ^to remember Mr. Barrett's beloved Canada in te yeans te come. r t t Ji v t a Iti The Screech Owl Bowlinig News (Norm Allun) Last week mny team came first for the much needed 7 points.

The things, such as guards, protective goggles, foun- dryý boots, which will prevent in- juries, are good. The thoughts which develop accident preven- tion plans are good for the men and women ini industry." The foregoing item is taken from the monthly letter to indus- trial executives issued from the head offioe of the Industrial Ac- cident Prevention Associations of Ontario and is based on one of the posters sent out to industries across the province for display on willing to do for others.

Han- cock who meets witb us in tbought and deed though not able to attend our meetings. Mrs. Philp favou*red with an Easter solo "Calvary" and was accompanied by Mrs. E. C. Fisher. Mrs. Patterson welcomed our guests and 'ably introduced the guest speaker, Miss Bird, who has been a worker for some years in Japan and among Our Canadi- an Japanese. She says that today Japan i our missîonary chal- lenge, a great challenge because today doors are open that were closed before the war. The need for missionaries is urgent for the foundations of the Japanese have been swept away as they realize that their leaders have been false leaders. Gen. Mc - Arthur bas asked for 1000 mis- sionaries. They are pleading for cburcb services and the help of rnissionaries, a situation whicb is ievelo.ping into a tragedy when they are so eager and there is n1o one to send. Miss Bird informed us that our Eanadian Japanese group had the lowest crime rate in Canada. [hey are family people and will- ing to co-operate in any under- taking that is worthwbile. Dur- ing the war their land and boats were taken from them and war >ropaganda poisoned the mindi of people in regard to tbem but :he considered they bad borne themselves well and in a trying situation had tried to quietly do their best. She pleaded that Can- adian people re-construet their attitude to these our Canadian ci- izens. Mrs. Dyer extended thanks to Miîss Bird for ber veny informa- tive address and in a humorous vein, injected a moral into ber few words that could be taken to beart by aIl of us.
