Larger Quarters Naval History Given In Book Now Published The Queen’s Printer has re- cently printed a new official his- tory entitled The Naval Service of Canada. issued by the Department of National Defence. This work recounts the development of the Canadian Navy in international history through the last five years. The new history is in two volumes. It was prepared by Dr. Gilbert Norman Tucker, noted scholar. and historian. He was given access to all revelant de- partmental records and very little censorship was necessary. Political issues and policy disputes are fully dealt with throughout the work. The Times and Guide along with his multitude of friends locally joins in wishing Mr. Totten congratulations on this his eighty- first year. Continued from page l-- was a member of the brigade. He is a past N. G. of the I.0.0.F. and a member of grand lodge and I past master of Humber and Mount Dennis Masonic Lodge. He was one of the instigators for the building of the present Masonic Temple. He is one of the charter members of the Weston, Mount Dennis Rotary Club. He attends Central United Church. Vulunn- ()ne tells the story of the Navy in its origins and early years. Although the naval defence of Canada was for a long time primarily carried out by the Royal Navy, Its forces included many Canadians and the example of the Royal Navy became part of the tradititm of the Canadian Navy when the latter was formed in 1910. Volume Two tells of the oper- ations an shore during the Second World War. The many problems of pnlivy, training, supply, etc., are well documented and lucidly explained. , A The largost drydnck in the Brit- ish Empire is 'It Saint John, NB.

Who are the folks who, on reach- ing “Lookout" Point, high over the village of Intuwn have not tar- ried awhile to take in that grand panorama.

So scenic pictures hereabouu are well nigh missing. One day last week he popped into a local cycle factory. Soon after the president came up with a "How is No. 69 Highway now?" A day later he popped in for a chat on the travel and publicity folks at Queen's Park. The greeting was "Hello there'. How is No. 69 Highway now?” "Any pictures of the 'Mattawa Lookout,' please," asked this Wes. tonian. To this last named query TN replied, "Probably 0.K.," which was partly proffered in anticipa- tion of an 0.K. to his mission'. TN left that office a happy per- son. Five scenic enlarg?ments of that glorious No. 17 are to be made up and cost - well it's no more than he pays to buy gaso- lene to propel his cycle'. TN has recollections of the hill south of this village. Many years ago Mr. T. Wotherspoon, adver- tising manager of C.C.M., suggest- ed to TN he wear shorts for his cycling trips in summer, It was on this hill TN switched, in the bushes, to this ideal wear for cycling. By the time Brantford had appeared your columnist's legs had "had it!" The tan that fol- lowed, has remained. But what a sun burn preceded it! With the O.K. of The Times & Guide office you who have travelled this ave-nil: road will, in the windows of this office, be able to take home again, those mem- ories of a trip you enjoyed. To others it will mean an eye-opener and a possible "Let's go forth and see in 1953."

Our Weston pal, a predominantly safety-minded and cu-operative truck and car driver; suddenly came up to another large truck stalled with engine trouble on this hill. "Empty milk cans?" you ask. No! Empty beer barrels enroute to London to be refilled. Oh, yes! The latter truck was owned by a major brewer of Canadian fame and the drivers he employs are famed for their help to fellow travellers in distress. Our Weston friend, sensing this fellow truck driver's trials, pulled up, and approaching Mr. Brewer's trucker said, "Can I tow you up A few minutes later one truck was to be seen towing another.
