ONTAM ' 'TTW~T~AV WflV 9Mu IOR, EDI7 OR;ALS The Spirit of Remembrance Canada ha. lost aver 100,000 men in wars. On November the llth, the anni- vorsary of the armistice which ended World War I, Canadians from coast-to- coast will pay trîbuto ta these doad. Out of respect ta thoir memory, wreaths will be laid at war momorials and two minutes of silence will be observed. The two minutes of silence is a custom which began in 1919. The lato King George V asked that ail normal work and othor activity coase for a period cf twa minutes, starting at eleven o'clock in the rnorning. You will notice that many Canadians wear red pappies during the Remembrance Day period. Canadians first came ta associate the poppies with the war dead during the bloody 1914-1918 campaigns in Flanders. Each spring poppies sprang up over the graves of the doad, like a sulent. word of romembrance. A Canadian soldier- physician, Lt.-Col. John McCrae'imrnortal- ized the poppy in his poem, "In Flandors Fields". John McCrao pleaded with the living ta romember the dead and what they had done. He himself died in France but his plea, and the pappies he wrote about, lived on. In 1926 the pappy was adopted as the symbol of remembranco. These poppies are manufactured by disabled veterans. Funds raised by thoîr distribution go ta help other needy veterans and their dependents. Sa today the poppy serves two very important purposes: it is a symbol of remombrance and a symbol of holp ta thoso in neèd. You are oarnestly invited ta join other citizens at the monument as they pay tribute ta those who died for freodom. You are also asked ta wear a poppy, and observe a two minute silence for the dead of ahl nations who fought for freedom. It is always a ploasure ta record the sdccesses cf Durham County boys and girls in the careers they have chosen. In this issue we are particularly happy ta publish the remarkablo success of E. Lloyd Winacott as he was at one time a popular and diligent employee of The Statesman staff. "Windy", being short for Winacott, was the nickname by which ho was familiarly known by his sehool pals. Ho graduated from B.H.S. in 1947, receiving a Commercial Diploma, and his f irst job was a printer's apprentice. In 1950 ho left the prifting craft ta become a student in electronics at Ryerson Institute in Toron- to. This course seemed to be to his liking for his marks during the three-year course a*eraged 901 and was thus rewarded r-Since Mr. Diefenbaker and his min- ority group have taken over the reins cf Government at Ottawa it's interesting ta see from how many sources free will advice pours in ta help the inexperienced administrators in their dilemma. It is amusing ta see how one staunch politician newspaper almost daily in its editorials suggests and criticizes the govonment, apparently hoping Diefenbaker will nover be successful in pijtting into operation his pr-election promins. Here's a sample cf advice handed eut by one nowspaper: Most people could save more money than they do. It is not sa very diff icult ta draw up a budget; sticking ta it is another thing. The easiest of all ways ta save money is ta show somebody else haw ta do it. Turning, thon, towards Ottawa and the Diefenbaker Government, one place where there is substantial elbow rcam for savings, as shawn in the L-sti- mates, is in departmental publishing. Reports, pamphlets, bulletins and miscel- laneous publications of one kind and another total up ta a tidly bill at the Most of us recagnize that, our climate belng what it is, the problem of seasonal unemployment is a perennial one for Canada. But daes it f ollow f rom this that we must fatalistically resign ourselves to large-scale unemployment b e t w e e n January and April every year? A lot of' people who used to think so now know different. 0f course, it's true that the coming winter implies fewer job opportunities for construction and allied workers, and that fishermen and others who work out of doors are less sure of regular employment. This is obviaus enough. But the exper- ience of a grawing number of cities, tawns and villages across Canada has in recent years proven conclusively that a little intelligent foresight and advance planning at the community level can go a long way towards beating this thing. How? By spreading the job load more evenly over the year as a whole. Govern- ments, municipalities, private and com- mercial undertakings and individuals have ail found that there are no end of projects which can be bath commenced and com- pleted in winter. And more convenientiy and at less cost than in summer, too. This is neither wishful thinking nar more exhortation.. Soasonal unomploy- ment can bo kopt ta an absolute minimum if thoro is a really concertod effort at the community levol. If, on the other hand, there is widespread apathy and com- placency on the part of those whose Jobs are flot directly bound up with weather conditions, then 'there surely will be a steop incroase in the number of thoso vho Established 1854 with which is incorporated l'h.e owmanville News, The Newcaistle Independent and The Orono News lO3rd Year of Contïnuous Service ta the Town of Bowmanville and Durham County AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER with scholarships in 1951 and 1952 for his hlÈh standing.

We will not go into further details here of "Windy's" climbing the ladder of success as it is covered in a most fascinat- ing manner in a special despatch ta The Statesman from Ottawa on this page.

A high level of emplayment is vital ta bath national and local prasperity in wînter no boss than in spring, summer and autumn. Without it, consumer demand for goods and services cannot be sustain- ed and business will become depressed. Every one of us has a vested interest in sooing that this is not albowed ta happen.

The news and advertising functions of a newspaper are, of course, separated. But the lino of demarcation cannot be too finely drawn, because in a very real sonse, advertising is news. It enabbes the merchant who has somothing ta seîl ta tell the public about it, and ta put his message before the public in the most cammanding way. Yves Burassa, a Montreal advertising man, presented some sound ideas recently ta the Retail Merchants' Association, Ho suggests an intensified campaign ta keep names and services before the public. Ho said: ",Merchants have ta profit by the exporiences they have during the year, and organize their advertising around these events, week after week; the bus- inessman should build up a program of advertising that will give his establish- ment a special type of personality. One that can be identified with the establish- ment and the products ho is seling." The Tourist's Dollar The question of the breakdown cf the tourist dollar, indicating exactly where and in what proportion it is spont has long been a matter of interest ta business and other people in Ontario. Largest single item, 19.2 cents goes for food, restaurants and dining-rooms. Just .2 cents less, 19 cents, is spont on retail purchases and take home gifts. , Third major item, 16.5 cents, covers accommodation which includes meals. For accommodation without meals the com- parable figure is 14.3 cents. Entertaînment and other similar items eat up 12.7 cents of the tourist dollar while an additional 11.5 cents covers total operat- ing expenses, including gas and cil. The remaining .06.8 cents is spont in miscellaneous wavs, including angling, licences, boat rentais, guides and other uimilar activities. and DiLstant Past Prom Theo Sttman Film 25 YEARS AGO 49 YEARS AGO (1908> J.

R. 2, Rîpley, Miss Florence Lunney, Toronto, and Mrs. Charles Don- ton, noe Bertha Brillinger, Bow- manville, formerly of Walker- ton, enjoyed a happy reunion an Saturday at the home of Dr. and Mrs. L. B. Williams, Tom- perance Street. Native of Bruce County Each of these visitors were nurses at one time or another with Dr. Williams which would total over 50 years' service. There is an interestîng story back of this gathering, which editors often refer ta as "the news behind the news". Know- ing these nurses we are going ta take the liberty of elaborat- ing on this event by going be- hind the seenes and doIve into a bit of personal history as it relates ta eaeh of the above per- sonalîties. Eaeh of these ladies are na- tives of Bruce County, which county was made famous by the Ex-Chancellor of Western Uni- versity, Dr. Sherwood Fox, in his fascinating book, "The Bruce Beacons", brimming over with human interest events of his native county. Being ladies we will refrain from giving their ages but thcy each graduated as nurses from the same hospital around 1915- 16 (which at a rough guess must have been at least 40 years ago!), but don't tell them this particular record appeared ini The Statesman. The hospital from which,%they graduated was one of the most famous smaller hospitals in On- tario, loeated at Fergus. It was originally known as the Royal Alexander Hospital. Later its name was changed ta thei Graves Memorial Hospital, in honor of that Master Craftsman in surgery. 'Dr. Abraham Graves. Ho was born in- Peter- borouich in 1847 and died in Fergus, in May 1935, where he spent bis entire professional ca- reer as a remarkable suceessful medical doctor and surgeon. "Alil in the Day's Work" The life of this eminent pion- eer surgeon is contained in a book written by him, entitled,j "All in the Day's Work-Leaves From a Doctor's Case Book".1 This book has reeently been1 loaned ta me by Mrs. Denten1 wvhich makes delightful reading1 of the many first operations Dr. Graves performed ovor 75 years ago. This should put him in the Hall of Fame in medicine and surgory with Lester and Pas- teur. But that is another story inci-z dental ta the editor's recent1 meeting of my "Three Angelsi of Mercy", each of whom had at variaus times rendered thec oditor professional service under1 the skilful guidance of Dr. Wil-i liams, bath in Toronto and la-z ter in Bowmanville.E But let's got back te aur or- « iginal story. In conversation with Dr. Williams ho informed me that two of these nurses had taken post graduate cour- ses in well known hospitals in the United States. In Choosing a Nurse Usually for false ecanomy In medical offices and hospitals, we have been told that Electro Therapy operators are not grad- uate nurses, so what Dr. Wil- liams told me is interesting. There were three essentials in bis choosing a nurse ta train in his work. Sho must be a farmer's daugh- ter, a non-smoker and a grad- uate nurse. Ho had found they all paid dividends for a mech- anical sense he dlaims, is recui- site ta all cancerned since elec- tricity is life itself from equip- Inent. He wcnt on ta explain that being a graduate nurse is fundamental ta diagnostic understanding and symptam progress. He didn't think cigar- et dope would belp any ta keep his operator alert and aIl aller- gy cases are mast adversely ef- fected by it. There was a wonderful draw- ing-room reminiscence as these three nurses, by turn, review- ed cases wbere Dr. Wil- liams had In electric surgery and special treatment taken the bull by the horns and had dar- ed ta do on buman beings what had nover been donc before. These wero often donc, in his earlier days, with local applica- tors made by -hîmself. The nurses told me how they Just trembled for fear something olVerlooked would happen as human life was sometimes at stake and cortainly no sympathy would be forthcomning from bis medical confreres. Radical Medical Reformers These nurses one after ana- ther, set the stage for many seenes ho bad almost forgotteni. They dwelt upon haw their life- work had been sandwichod be- tween thg two Radical Medical Reformers, Dr. Graves and Dr. Williams, and how happy in looking back ta have played a part in it. Thon after each nurse, in the animated conversation, had some little personal faili-cg function ta lay an the table, the triumvirateo of nurýses wero di.3- patchod by the 1dcoct or t a the treatment rooms, where eacn, an operator kriowing what ta do and why, tl*y treated each other and came out ahl in ane piece. With the, electrical equipment now silent, the doctor retired, and ail. three nurses out of nurs- ing, Father Time bas done hu- manity a great dis-service. This event which was origin- ally intended as a "oSocial and Personal" itegi, and developed into a human interest story, is a good example of what the editor means when ho refers ta "the news behind the news". Former Sf atesman Employee One of Canadian Scientist Tracking 'Sputnick's' Cours J (Special ta The Statesman) Ottawa, Ont.. November 1- Mr. E. Lloyd Winacott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Winacott, Ontario street, Bowmanville, received notification on Octo- ber 10 that he had been promot- ed fromn the technical staff ta the scientifie staff of the Radio Physlcs Laboratory of the De- fence Research Telecommunica- tions Establishment in OttRwu.r 'His new position is that of De- fence Research Technical Offi- cer, Grade 2. The promotion was awarded after a little less than one year service at the Radio Physies Laboratory together with two and one-haîf years previaus ser- 'Vice with Defence Research Board at the Canadian Arma- ment Research and Develop- ment Establishment in Quebec City. During the ten-month inter- val between the twa periods of service with D. R. B. he was employed by The DeHavilland Aircraft of Canada Limited ini their guided missile division. Entered Electronics Field Lloyd entered the field of electronics in 1950 when he left his position with The Canadian Statesman ta enroîl in the School of Electronies at Ryer- son Institute of Technology, To- ronto. An honour graduate in 1953, he was immediately hired by Defence Research Board to work as a technician at the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establish- ment rear Quebec City. At C.A.R.D.E. he was assign- ed ta a group that was develop- ing and building a large-scale electronie analogue computer for use in the mathematical study of guided-missile per- formance. Dur*ng his last few manffis at C.A.R.D.E., Lloyd was a member of a teamn involv- ed in the testing and evaluation of guided missiles, using the computer which had been con- structed. His own responsibility dur- Ing this phase was that of de- termining characteristics of the guidance mechanisms of the missiles. The work of this teani was considered ta be of suffi- cient significance that the group received an official commenda- tion fromn the Superintendent of the establishment. Worked on Guided Missiles Early in 1956, Lloyd was hir- ed by The DeHavilland Aircraft of Canada Limited ta work in their guided missile division iii Toronto. At DeHavilland he was engaged in a projeet of develop- ing miniature airborne elec- tronle systems which used tran- sistors in place of vacuum tubes. Near the end of that year ho decided ta re-enter government he preached the gospel of safe- guarding aur renewable resour- ces. Not only did ho address many groups of prominent Canadians, but ho consistontly used the pages of the Farmer's Advocate, of which ho was Editor-in-Chief, as well as travelling ta distant lands, ta compare aur conservation needs and methods witb others. He was a graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, and although a news- paperman by profession, was one o! the most ardent admirers and advocates of the Canadian f armer. Although ho was a deiightful travelling companion, with a rare sense of humour, and un- usual modesty, ho had the courage of a lion when it came ta flaying governmental bodies (municipal, provincial and fed- oral) for their inertia on con- servation matters; ho could, and often did, prod tbem into fur- ious activity by bis keenly an- alytical appraisal of their seem- E.

Ho was also one o! the or- ganizers o! the famous Guelph Conference. It was duo ta the deliberations of these twa gra ups that the Conservation .uthorities Act was passed; an Act whieh made possible tho development of aur much neg- lected river valleys; without the proclamation of this Act aur own Ganaraska projeet would not have been possible, or the other 20 river valley development authorities i ri Southern Ontario.

Within twenty-four heurs of the announcement of the launen- ing, the group had set up re- ceiving and reeording equip- ment tuned 'ta the radio signals being broadcast by the satellite, and had begun round-the-clock observation of those signals. Lloyd was a member o! the team of observers. The results obtained wore analyzed _Uthe senior scientists of the 99FUi, their first aim being ta 'deter- mine the position and orbit of the satellite.
