From 5:30 until 7:30 every morning it's

FIVE YEARS WORK
Escape from Canada is the result of five
years work, "off and on", Mr. Melady said
in a phone interview -at school. Subtitled
The Untold Story of Germs,n Prrthiners of
War in Canada, 1939-45, the book's
inspiration came when the author saw the
remains of an old POW camp on a drive
through Northern Ontario.'
Escape from Canada is the fascinating
story, sensitively told, of the 25,000
'German prisoners who spent the war years
is Canadimi camps. They ranged in size
from small outposts in the Northern
Ontario bush to a converted Old Fort Henry
in Kingston and a huge camp in Medicine
Hat, Albertat which-contained some of-the-
moat fanatical Nazis. ,
Some of the prisoners escaped: John

involvement in the Korean War, a subject
that also interests Mr. Herten.

A Seaforth lawyer has
opened a full-time office in `
Dublin. Paul. Ross, formerly
a partner with Beecher Men-
ties in Clinton, has had a law
office in Seaforth for a year
and a half.
Now he's expanding and
opening an office in the -tohn
Moore Insurance building on
Dublin's main street. Mr.
Ross said the opening of a
preetice - in Dublin was
prompted by the number of
people who've, come to Sea-
forthas clients and said "too
bad we didn't h.ave -a lawyer
in Dublin."
The lawyer also says he

Research involved one trip to Europe. As
well, John corresponded back and forth
with a number of ex-POWs. One, 4 former
rxrlonel, came to Canada to talk to him.
While he's working steadily on the new
book, John Melady has no intention of
becoming' a full time writer. That doesn't
Pay and besides, he loves teaching. He
remembers the example of an uncle, Tom
Melody, who was a schools inspector in
Toronto and wrote in his sparetime.
But he's happy that his eldest son is
hoping to study journalism- perhaps at
Western next year. His father's example
likely had something to do with that career
choice.
And it appears the sound of a typewriter-
will be a fixture in the Melady family for
some time , to come.
