W hen you walk into Elliott's Pharmacy, ait 41 Colborne Street East, ju st opposite the Halton Hotel, and get a prescription fill ed by Don E l liott, make no mistake about it, you are dealing with a member o f a fam ily which has close connec tions with medi cal profession. His father, Dr. E. V . Elliott, o f Galt, is a practicing dentist; his mother, Mrs. E. V. Elliott, is a form er graduate nurse; one sister is in Bermuda, where she went as a nurse, but gave it up 'when she got m arried to a chap there; another sister is supervisor o f the em ergency de partment at Victoria Hospital, London, Ont.; and his brother, Bruce, is a druggist in the same city. There's m ore yet, however, fo r brother Bruce married a graduate nurse, and Mrs. Don Elliott's sister is also a gradu ate nurse. . N o wonder the Elliott Phar m acy's slogan is " Tom orrow 's m edicine today." Don was b o m _ in Galt, 33 years ago, was christened Don ald W esley Elliott, and was educated in Galt public schools and Galt Collegiate Institute and Vocational School, from w hich he graduated in the sum m er o f 1942. During his last year at school, he _had been w orking part-time in a Galt drug store, and he continued there on a steady basis after leaving school, registering as an apprentice. But around Christmas, 1942, he fe lt that h e had to do his part in the war effort, and prom ptly enlisted, with the blessing o f his em ployer, fam ily and friends. A s a reinforcem ent, he was sent to Listow el fo r his basic training, thence to Camp Bor den, Halifax, and Kingston, going overseas from Borden at the com pletion of his training. Posted to the 1st Hussars, he found him self in the Arm oured ine Is Family Weakness ODAY THE JOURNAL. Oakville-Trafalgar, Cetntemmial Issue, June IT, 1937 29 Corps, as a gunner in a Sher man tank, rank o f trooper, and went into Normandy in July, 1944, in that capacity. From there, he took the tour o f n o r t h w e s t e r n Europe, through some pretty rough fights, and a lot o f dirty living, until he was dem obilized, at the end o f the war. From there, he went on to the then Ontario College of Pharmacy, now the faculty o f pharmacy o f the University of Toronto, graduating as a phar macist in 1948. T o get experi ence, he had to go to work fo r a druggist, and, since his fiance, the present Mrs. Elliott (then Miss Mary Tutton, o f G alt), was busily attending McMaster Uni versity to study fo r the B.A. degree w hich she later achiev ed, he decided to work in Hamilton. He got a jo b in Zimm erm an's D rug Store, Hamilton, and w orked behind the prescription desk until 1949, when he be cam e a m arried man. That was the tim e fo r decision, for, both he and his bride were sure that once he had gained the neces sary experience, a smaller town would be nicer to live and work in. That led them to Oakville, quite by accident, fo r a drug traveller happened into the store in Hamilton one day and told Don that he knew o f a va cancy fo r a pharmacist in an Oakville drug store. Don ap plied and got the job , with the Closs Drug Company, in the store now known as Elliott's Pharmacy. That was in A pril 1951, and in February 1955, he took over operation of the store. But Lloyd Closs, the original owner o f the store, still remains con nected with the business, some thing that Don feels is very advantageous, for Mr. Closs has over 35 years experience that is continually being put to good use. Now, the Elliotts live at 60 Elmwood Road, along with Douglas, 6, who is just finishing kindergarten at Oakwood school, Victor, 4, and the fam ily's pride and joy, the latest addition, twomonth-old Martha. Don says that most o f his hobbies are either in the past or in the future, although he does admit to spending some time on his " rock pile" . This, he says, is technically a garden, but since he had several loads o f fill dumped on it, only to find out that they were fu ll o f rocks, he feels that the boys in the penitentiary have it soft. F or about two years, he was a clarinetist with the Oakville Citizens' Band, but had to give it up to devote m ore tim e to the business. " Every time the band was doing something, I had to do som ething else." But there is a future in being a druggist, he is sure. In addi tion, he feels that there is a personal satisfaction in helping people. W ith his two assistants, Mrs. Gloria Terrell and Mrs. Betty Kennedy, together with his form er boss, Lloyd Closs, he has enough to keep him busy fo r a long time. W hy didn't he or his brother ever think of becom ing den tists, just like their father? Don says that is very simple. " Dad left it up to the boys what they wanted to do, and since I had w orked in a drug store before 1 I left school, there was never any doubt about m y future." Two Edmonton Companies Now Build Light Aircraft EDMONTON, (C P )-- Two groups o f airplane enthusiasts have been form ed here to take advantage of recent relaxation o f federal regu lations regarding the building of light aircraft. Now virtually anyone may de sign, build or m odify single or twoseat aircraft or gliders not exceed ing a gross weight o f 1,200 pounds. Previously, this was restricted to manufacturers. To take advantage of the relax ation, enthusiasts here have form ed the Edmonton Chapter No. 30 o f the Experimental A ircraft Asso ciation, and the Edm onton Soaring Club. The E A A chapters in Canada are affiliated with the Ultralight AirMAIN ST.

Cote was the postmaster at that time. craft Association o f Canada, a Canadian advisory and co-ordinat ing body, which does most o f the advisory and negotiating work with the transport department's civil aviation division. The Edm onton chapter will concentrate on building light air craft while the Soaring Club is mainly interested in the flying of gliders and the prom otion of the sport in the west. The Soaring Club has obtained a single - seat medium perform ance glider which is expected to make flights up to 150 miles in length. It is hoped that by encouraging and prom oting home building, some o f the builders may com e forth with ideas to im prove private aviation. As aircraft are built, they w ill be periodically checked by the trans port department and the district aircraft inspector. Once they are com pleted, inspected and approv ed, they can be certified with a permit to fly and if they meet further department specifications, they may be used to transport passengers for recreational pur poses. A fter 75 hours o f safe flight, they are eligible fo r a permanent licence. Toronto Artist Designed Towns Initial Insignia John Ellis, o f Toronto, designed the first official seal utilized by the Town o f Oakville in Septem ber, 1857. The seal was authorized by the youthful municipality'* nineteenth by-law, and was des cribed as a " hybrid blazon." Ellis som ehow managed to In corporate into this remarkable crest such items as an azure blue ship, an engine to signify the town's m anufacturing potential, a wheat sheaf, an oak tree, a bee hive, a deer and a bear. This momentous seal was des troyed by fire early in the tow n's history, and historian Hazel Ma thews reports that only one legal paper has been unearthed that bears its imprint.

Hugh Pullen, retired Royal Navy officer, purchased the land " on the outskirts o f Oakville" in 1873 from W illiam McCraney. 3 Rabies Cases At Vacation Spots Dread rabies disease has struck three times in Ontario this sum mer, and though not in the Oak ville area, both the veterinarians and Humane Society suggest that vacationers taking along pets have them vaccinated prior to heading fo r the summer camp. As one veterinarian put it, ra bies are a bigger threat the farther north one travels. The three cases reported so far are in the Parry Sound and Manitoulin Island dis tricts.
