Irwin 'DaVidson Willis was

the Terniskaming and Northern
Railway in 1922. Working above
the'bank of the Abitibi River north
of Connaught, the crew spent the

At Connaught, Willis was loa-

town.
The wound was cleaned and su-
tured without anaesthetic at the
small hospital run by a group of
dedicated nuns, but -without anti-
biotics and other iwo`nder' drugs,
infection was inevitable and
spread quickly to the thigh and
lower leg:.
With his condition worsening,
the Workmen's Compensation
Board of Ontario, then it its
seventh year of operation, agreed
to move Mr. Willis to more ad-
vanced care in Toronto where two ,
operations and"six months of hos-
pital care were required to save
the man's 'life and his leg. But
flexibility in the knee was 'gone
for good.
Infection of such depth, dura-
tion and extent contributed to a
failure in the circulatory system
of the area. The fibrous tissue
formed following infection crea-
ted a stiffening in the knee

joint.
David Willis learned to live
with the stiff leg and for 47 years
it served him well. He held many
jobs and was engaged in several
careers, each one contributing to
the background of experience, •
knowledge, understanding and ac-
ceptance of life which led hirii to
Alliston, Ontario, and that town's

Ontario town, the crossroad o
Essa, Adjala, Tossorantio and
Tecumseh Townships.
The first settlers built a mill
at this point in 1847 and incor-
porated their town in 1874.
In the early 1860's, a news-
paper, the Alliston Star, was
founded and in 18'72 its succes-
sor the Alliston Herald was first
published.
Like so many. weekly news-
papers, the Herald has become an
4-LniliiHeral.d.with her husband.Du-
Helen Willis works hard on
Du-
ring his recent 'hospital stay and
convalescence, it was Helen who
ran the Herald with Competence
and strength. She shares her hus-
band's, enthusiasm for life and his
zeal for the newspaper business.
This team seems to have un-
limited energy. On thp go from
early each day through the
evening, they do a fine job of news
gathering and editorial writing.
The editor walks easily though
carefully on his artificial leg, ad-
mitting only that he tires a little
and sometimes finds himself a
little uneasy near the high-
powered_presses. But there is no-
thing unsteady about this man's
motivation nor his down-to-earth
acceptance of life.
which is representative of their
community.
Mr. Willis bought the Herald
nine years ago after a remarkable
decade in Hong :Kong, ,the
Indo China, Siam and
Thailand in such fields as adver-
tizing, market surveys, office
management, construction, busi-
ness and accountancy and many
years since in senior positions
in Canada.
Fifteen years ago, the right
leg began, to give Mr. Willis in-
creasing pain because of further
deterioration of its circulation.
At that time the doctor'explained
that eventually, the leg would have
to be amputated. -
Two years ago the prediction
became a necessity when a major
deformity in the ankle developed
from'post-traumatic arthritis.
• This was present in both knee and
ankle joints and there was also
demineralization in the leg bone.
Last, September, it became a
reality when Mr. Willis entered
hospital in Toronto for a Gritti-
Stokes or end-bearing amputation
of his right leg at the knee. Sever-
al weeks later, he was admitted to
the Workmen's Compensation
..Board Rehabilitation Centre on
the outskirts of Toronto for inten-
sive therapy, physical rehabilita-
tion of the stump and prosthetic
fitting.
Under the care of Dr. Antony
Kennard and the Amputee Clinic
Team, David Willis first exer-
cised -the stump to strengthen it,
then learned to use a temporary
prosthetic limb and later a per-
- manent end-bearing prosthesis.
The WBC Centre is a 520-bed
physical medicine Centre whose
staff Is dedicated to the rehabili-
tation of those who have been dis-
abled through industrial accident
or disease. Each year 5000 men
are treated for their, injuries in
this spacious, well-equipped
Centre.Fro
in the• time of his accident
in 1922 until the present, Mr. Wil-
lis has been covered by the Com-
pensation Board, first receiving
compensation payments and later
a permanent disability pension.
When he required active medical
treatment he was returned to full
compensation benefits and all
medical and hospital bills were
paid.
