Kipling. Mr. Arthur Rutherford Fercl. LLD and DLITT., former editor- in-chief of the London Free :Press and a former Chancellor of the University of Western Ontario PasSed on to a Higher Service on Wednesday evening, April 3, in St. Joseph's Hospital, London, His fapile Pen was stilled on December 3Q when he suffered a severe paralytic stroke. Service was perhaps, the most dominant factor in Mr, Ford's long career, A son of the Parsonage, he was born in point Edward DecemPer i6n, 1108083.0 , Since Methodist pastors changed charges every three years he obtained his education in Lambeth, Lucan„ Parkhill, Essex and Windsor, He graduated from Victoria College Toronto It was quite by accident that he went into newspaper work. He needed to earn some money after leaving college and so became a reporter on the Stratford Herald for the summer at six dollars a week. He had thought of teaching or going into Law. But the idea of being paid for what was for him fun was too attractive and he decided his career was in the newspaper world. Arthur Ford served on newspapers in Ottawa, a brief stint in New York and then in Winnipeg and Toronto before coming to London to be Editor of the London Free Press in 1920. Lucy had seen Mr. Ford in Hayfield but she-did not become acquainted with him until she went to his office in the London Free Press to seek his advice and help following the death of her father in 1933. From that time on he was a friend with whom she enjoyed a chat when he came in the summer. It was to Bayfield he usually came to relax on vacations, (His father, Rev. James E. Ford had retired to Goderich so he knew this district). Mr. Ford once wrote that Hayfield was his favourite summer resort. And in his 'death Hayfield has lost a great friend and promoter for good in the village, He loved this place and its people. And he never lost an opportunity to use his pen in putting it "on the map" so to speak. There were times of course, when the subject matter of his articles on Bayfield didn't please all of us. Even so, we cannot see ourselves as others see us, and while he might poke a bit • of fun at one thing or another, it gave colour to that particular occasion. His pen was never malicious and he would not heedlessly hurt another's feelings. His up bringing as a son of the Parsonage was evident in all his life. His many community activities in London over flowed into the province and Canada. In Hayfield both Mr. Ford and his wife (the former Sophy Wool. way) became members of the Pioneer Park Association in its early years. He supported this project with his pen and wise advice. Lucy has been amazed at the widespread knowledge of Hayfield gleaned far and wide by the writings of Arthur R. Ford, editor-in. chief of the London Free Press - Emeritus since 1963. About 1949, the writer visited Durham, Ontario. When introduced as from Hayfield, one lady said: "Oh, yes, I've read all about' PBayfield ress." the Pioneer Park' activities in the London Free Then in 1955 when Lucy attended the Ontario Weekly News. paper Association meeting in Ottawa, so many came up and spoke to her and mentioned Hayfield as being "Mr. Ford's village." One editor said rather wistfully: "You are so lucky to have him interested in the village." Years ago, some cottagers south of Bayfield, told the writer: "Each year we wait to see what Arthur R. Ford will write about Hayfield. We would miss his articles." And as late as 1965 a lady whom Lucy met, said: "I've always followed Arthur Ford's writings in the Free Press. And I think I'd enjoy spending a summer in Hayfield. , Keenly interested in history he loved to write about Baron de Tuyll's city in the wilderness which never grew up. He described the baron as being a Belgian nobleman, but it was Mr. Ford himself who finally traced the older baron as being of Dutch descent. He also wrote of Admiral Hayfield (after whom this village is named) after visiting Charlottetown, P.E.I. And in 1966 following the Baird School Reunion, Mr. Ford telephoned Lucy to see if something couldn't be done to retain the old school as a community centre in memory of Master Baird. He volunteered to use his influence "in the matter." Although he was a member of Robinson United Church, London, he frequently worshipped in little Trinity Anglican Church, Bay. field, during his visits here. In the latter years, Mr, Ford's failing health prevented him going to the post office each day for the mail, and to sit and chat with old-timers. and others outside the Variety Store or the New Ritz Hotel. And here, too, he was a gifted reporter. It was his "love" and without knowing it, people often gave him stories in answer to his questions in casual chat. But while his years limited his activity, his intellect was still as keen as ever. He had a surprisingly _youthful outlook and great foresight. And although he had been away from Ottawa so long, yet his finger was on the political scene and the pulse of Canada. By virtue of his pen and 'life, he takes a prominent place amongst our greatest Canadians. Mr. Arthur R. Ford was a gentleman of the old school. He brought dignity to whatever he undertook. Amongst the many tributes was the following from the Most Rev. G. Emmett Carter, Bishop of London: "Anyone who has known Arthur Ford is the richer for it." "He was a giant of intelligences eloquence and integrity; the product of an educational tradition which we have now lost. We will not soon see or hear his equal in the knowledge of the classics and use of the English language. His service to the community deserves our grateful remembrance." Mr. Arthur R. Ford was laid to rest in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, London, on Monday, April 8, 1968. Perhaps it was significant that the interview of Mr. Ford in his cottage garden in Bayfield by Paul Soles, was one of the last to be re-run in the program of tribute over CFPL . TV Thursday. One felt it was a chance to say farewell to this friend who truly walked with "Kings" nor lost the common touch.
