The big problem in obtaining
More passengers on the Strat-
ford-Goderich'C.N.R. run is that
the trains run at the wrong time.
Victor L„Hayter, ,Canadian
legislative representative with
the United Transportation Union,
says railways are chasing people
away from train travel and are
purposely making it inconvenient
for people to- use that form of
transportation. •
Mr. Hayter was in Seaforth
last week" in one of a series. of
visits to communities along the
line which the C.N.R. wants to
discontinue. He ,talked to Mayor
F. C. J. 8ills and, a number of
other officials and businessmen
in town.
Seaforth is ple.senting a brief
at -a hearing in Owen Sound next'
week. Clerk Ernest Williams will
attend. It is also4possible that
sortie members of Coericil will
be present he said.
Mr: Hayter commented on
the application by the C.N.R.
to discontinue passenger rail
service --through certain areas
in southern Ontario.
"The trains are far Superior
to buses,” he said, "but the
service has been allowed to de-
teriorate."
Mr. Hayter said that th,e main
reason C.N., is losing money is
that the trains are running at
the wrong tiMes.
This is especially so in the
case of the Goderich-Stratford
run. - The Unioarepresentative said
that when The' railway took one
set of trains off the run in 1957,
they took off the -wrong set. In-,
stead of removing the present
train which goes to Godefich at
mid=morning and returns at noon,
they took off the one that came
to Stratford early in the morning
and returned late at night.
Ii C.N. had left the morning-
evening run, Mr. Hayter said,
more people would be using the
, train, which would catch one to
Toronto, in the morning and the ,
one from Toronto at night.
If one wants to spend a day
in Toronto, he said, he will have
to take three days off to do it.
The bus service from Goder-
ich is good, he said., in that there
are buses from the morning ,to
night, but train travel is far
superior to buses.
The buses are doing well • be-
cause they run at . the proper
times,
Even the agents have been
taken out of a number of stations,
and , now passengers must buy
tickets from ;the conductor.
,"Service is not what it should
be," Mr. Hayter said. "It's fast
and clean, but the times are ter-
rible."
Many Goderich 'businesses
would use the train if the times
were right, he said.
Mr. Hayter suggested thafif
mail ,was carried on,_the trains,
they would pay off..
He said that even if the trains ,
were filled with passengers, the
train wouldn't pay for itself
out the mail. These runs must be
Subsidized, lie said, they're a

Approves,
Reduction
For Smell
A. An assessment c:reduction of
$500 on 'the farm residence of
Edison McLean, Tuckersniith,
was approved Tuesday by Huron
County 'Judge R. S. Hetherington
-as he heard an appeal against the
original assessment.
The appeal was ,based on the
contention that the value of the
farm- property had been lowered
because of air pollution arising
from a nearby piggery operation.
Judge Hetherington said the
evidence was "quite conclusive
that there is air .pollution on the
McLean farm thatis coming from
someplace." He said its source
was unimportant to the assess-
ment issue before the &iurt.

Photographs By Seaforth Native Find International Acceptance
(An article in a recent issue of
the Journal of the Ontario Dental
• Association recalls the photo-
graphiC work being- cahled out
by Dr. W. A. Crich. The article
by Dr. Joe Johnson, former proL
:fessor of oral Surgery at the
School of Dentistry, Toronto,
emphasizes the name which the
Seaforth native has established
• for hiniself Dr. Crich, is a
brother of J..C. Crich, Seaforth)
.When World War I broke out
Britain did not recogniZe the va-
lue of the aeroplane as a mili-
tary weapon but the next year
the Royal Naval Air Service com-
menced a limited recruiting pro-
• gramme In Canada provided ,
that each recruit paid for his
own uniform and flying instruc-
tion. Brussels, Ont. born, Aubrey
Crich went overseas as a civilian
in the Royal Naval Air Service,
took 'his ground training at Green-
wich, preliminary flying, training
at Vendome, 100 miles south of
Paris and returned to England to
complete his flying instruction
at Cranwell and Stonehenge.
•He went on active service with
the 49th squadron, which flew de
'Haviland 9's. These,. were light
2-seater semi-fighter daytime
bombers, which carried an ob-
server, and two 112 pound bombs.
They usually crossed the enemy
lines at 10,000 feet, a rugged
routine in an open cockpit with
the limited equipment then avail-
able. In World War II oxygen
was mandatory' at 10,000 feet.
(Incidentally, Co llishaW com,
manded three flights of D. H. 9's
in 1919 during the abortive at-
tempt to suppress the Bolshevik
Revolution).
After returning to Canada in
the spring of 1919 Aubrey regis-
tered in Dentistry at the R.C.D.S,
and graduated with the class of
1923. The class was almost en-
tirely composed of service men
and was unique in that 320 gra-
duated in one class, the largest
clasS 'that ever has, or probably
ever will graduate from a Cana-
dian dental school, Despite The
difficultieS and frustrations en-
counted in such a crowded course-
this class has produced more than
Its •share'of professional leader-
ship during. 'the intervening 47
years.
Following trade ion Dr.
Crich practiced for one ar with
D. Berry of' Caledonia and then
entered upon a Fellowship in
Dental surgery at the Mayo Clinic,
in 1924, where he remained until
1926. Organized post-graduate
training . was extremely limited
.in those days and Dr. Crich -was
forturfate to receive his Fellow-
ship under the tutelage of Dr.
Boyd Gardner.
On completion of his training
hp returned to Toronto and he-
came associated with the Lock-
wood Clinic, where he set up an
oral, surgical service patterned
after -his training background.
The accent was upon fundamen-
tals, pathology, differential diag-
nosis and the value of exact
radiographic evidence. For years
he was a generous cdntri6utor
to dental literature, his papers
being scholarly, well organized
and far above the average stan-
dard Of the time. Later he left
the Lockwood Clinic to establish
his own practice of oral surgery.
In the Spring of 1940 he retired
and purchased a fruit farm at
Grimsby Beach,' on .the shore of
Lake Ontario. The farm produced
largely sweet cherries, peacheS,
pears and grapes. In 1941 he be-
gan to do part time surgery in
his home at the request of pa-
tients coming from St. Cather-
ines and the Surrounding area.
.Dpring this period he was Pre-
sident of the Grimsby Lions Club
for two successive years. Due
to the difficulty in getting ,,pick-
ers" to harvest the, fruit crop,
he sold the farm Otid bought a
base in Grimsby, which he re-
modelled so that he could again
resume a full-time surgical
practice. He has recently re-
tired from this practice:
-- About 1957 Aubrey became
seriously interested in color
photography and • joined the
Hamilton Color Photographic
CM, later serving .as its Pre-
sident, He is also a member of
t,
the Toronto Camera Club and
has exhibited all 'over the world
at those International Exhibitions
whose standards are approved
by the Photographic Society of
America. In July, 1964, he was
the second Canadian to become a
,five star exhibitor in the color
pictorial division of the Photo-
graphic Society of America; and
obtained his fifth star in the
Nature Division of the P.S.A.
In March, 1968. He has helped
judge in seven International Ex-
hibitions and two all Canadian
Salons, judged many photogra-
'phic clinics and spoken to many
photographic Clubs from Mon-
treal in the East to Calgary
and•Banff in the West.
In July, 1069, he gave three
presentations to the, Near Eng.:
land Camera Club Conference,
held at the Univ'er'sity of Massa-
chusetts, Amherst - the largest
photographic conference in the
world, In October of this year
he was one of a panel,.,..orreur
on "Canadian Nature", at the
convention of the Photographic
Society 'of America in Washing-
ton, his subject being "insects';
and he was also one of two
Canridians ,to be presented with
an Associateship in that Soci-
ety. Dr. Crich was signally hon-
oured when the National FILM
Board included three of,his phd-
tographs in its Centennial pUb-
lication "CANADA: A YEAR OF
THE LAND". This book was
originally pbblished at $25,00"
but We hear that it is now a
collectors item at $185.00 and
is about to come out as a se-
cond edition at $35.00. We con-
gratulate our colleague for having
his ability recognized in a work
0,>
of this character.
The public' is. slow in under-
standing what constitutes the-aes-
thetic basis of photographic Art.
It requires more than an under-
' standing of optics and the, gim-
micks of exposure and proces-
sing of films. The basic require-
ments are the soul of an artist,,
,endless patience, an exquisite
appreciation of color, the deli-
, cate nuances of light and shade
and superlative composition and
creativity. These qualities Dr.
Crich. unquestionably possesses
in abuhdance and is well equip-
ped to "spin the gossamers as
well as forge the sndliortir 153
the mind". He has performed
"justly, skilfully, and magnani-
mously all the' offices both pri-
vate and public in peace and
war."
