Youngman, Statesman Grass-roots Corres- pondent, Mr. Thomnson tolci fow his father had acquired the "Scotsman", Scotlands national paper; had obtained the first license and organized the oni'y commercial TV station in Scot- land also starting a TV guide paper for Great Britain's view- ers; then had recently boughit the Kemsley syndicate whose kingpin is the great Sunday Times, having a circulation nearing a million copies. Earlieî this month the name Kemsley Newspapers was cfianged to Thomson Newspapcrs and their .publishing house to the Thom- son House where four million copies are printed at one time on a Saturday night. Mi. Thomson portrayed his father with affectionate admnir- ation and pride as a sincere, simple man who loves to meet people; who enjoys living in Britain as in maily ways it is the hub o! the universe and fias s0 many world fan-ous person- alities, including that other famous Canadian newsman Lord Beaverbrook - fis great friend; as a man who is amaz- ingly simple who puts every- thing ie fias ie bis work- people are his hobby and so is business. The combination re- presents everything for which he lives. Mr. Thomson told how his fa- ther had many happy raerories of Bowmianville when as a boy with his brother Carl fie spent every holiday he could with Frank and Mary Pethick at the Pethick's beach cottage and fias neyer foîgotten their kindness to hum. Because of these mem- eries in Bowmanville anyone from the district was a friend and an invitation was extended to ail of us to visit the Thom- son Press in London. President Jim Lovekin dele- gated Mus. and Miss Aked to accept the invitation on behaif o! the Durhlam Club and visit Mir. Thomson in Enigland if pbs- sible in the near future. In reference to bis Bowman- ville connections Mu. Thomson said: "Herbert Thomnson met and married my fathers mother in Bowmanville. Her name was Alice Coombs and she flad corne from Bath, England, to assist her aunt in runningr the Old Station Hotel near the C.N.R. station. Herbert Thomson was a barber and Dad' s parents moved to Toronto where fie and his brother were born." Mi. Thom-con eontinued, "Father's ideal newspapeî man is George James. Incidentally, ever since he !irst read it as a young man, Uad has always regarded the "Statesman" as a very good weekly paper." "Most eventful event of his life was when fie was beaten i the 1953 election when ha ian as a Progressive Conserva- tive for York Centre. The suc- cesses which have happened since seem to be as a result of this defeat and certainly would not have happened if elected."1 Among the visitors at the meeting vere Lucy Doyle, dean o! Canadian newspaper women, who wiote for many years as "Cornelia" in thtf Telegram, also Mns. Barker viho was with the Ottawa "Citizen" for 35 years and Mr. and Mia. A. Thomison of the Thomson Clan.
