Colonel Oliver Mowat Biggar is Chairman of the Canadian Section of the Permanent Joint Board of De­ fence (Canada-United States), His ap­ pointment to that Board along with officers of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and one of the Assistant Under Secretaries of State for External Af­ fairs, follows in the tradition that has established the unique spirit of the In­ ternational Joint Commission . On this Commission Canadians and Americans have long sat round the table as one homogenious body of men, consider­ ing the problems put before them as technicians and judges seeking equit­ able solutions, not as rival teams of intriguing nationalists trying to outwit each other. Biggar is solid Scot right through, his father’s grandfather emigrated here from Kirkcudbright, Scotland, in 1792, and his mother’s from Caithness. He is the oldest grandson of the late Sir Oliver Mowat, Postmaster-General in 1954 and Premier of Ontario from 1873 to 1896 and later Minister of Jus­ tice and Lieutenant Governor of On­ tario, and of James Lyons Biggar, a Member of Parliament from 1873 to 1879. Col. O. M. Biggar, K.C. Canadian Chairman, Canada-United States Joint Defence Board. - —Photo by Karsh, Ottawa Colonel Biggar was. born in Tor­ onto 64 years ago, educated there .at Upper Canada College, University College, and Osgoode Hall. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1901, but soon afterwards moved to Edmonton where he carried on his private prac­ tice until World War One broke out. Already a lawyer of sound reputation, with his full share of public service, Member^of the Board of Governors of the University of Alberta and the. Board of the Edmonton Hospital, he was commissioned as lieutenant in the 101st Regiment, Edmonton Fusiliers and soon afterwards called to Head­ quarters, Military District 13, at Cal­ gary, as Deputy Judge Advocate Gen­ eral. From that duty he was summon­ ed to Ottawa to act as member of the Military Service Council set up to ad­ minister the Military Service'Act. He was made Judge Advocate General of Canada in 1918, promoted to Lt. Col­ onel, becoming a full Colonel the fol­ lowing year. After the war, Sir Robert Borden took him to Europe as one of the Can­ adian Delegation to the Peace Con­ ference. In Paris he acted as British Secretary to the Commission on the Responsibilities for the War where lawyers of the highest distinction in their respective countries debated fun­ damental questions of public law, such as whether the Allies had a right to hang the Kaiser! Back from Europe, Colonel Biggar organised the original Air Department for Canada as Vice-Chairman of the Air Board under the Hon. A. L. Sif- ton. He takes particular pride in see­ ing what his “baby” has today grown up to be. Pion, Hugh Guthrie paid Biggar a great compliment in 1920 by asking him to become Canada’s first Chief El­ ectoral Officer, a. post made independ­ ent of party control like that of a judge, theJnctimbent being responsible only to Parliament, not to the Gov­ ernment of the day. That Colonel Biggar’s appointment received the ap­ proval of the Whole House of Com­ mons testified that he possessed the judicial outlook envisioned in the ap­ pointee by the new legislation. , While Chief Electoral Officer Col­ onel Biggar continued to act as Vice- Chairman of the Air Board. He also served for a lime as Legal Adviser to the Department of External Affairs, and was Chairman of the Interdepart­ mental Committee otr the St Lawrence THAT COUNTS -x I here is perhaps no better illustration of co-operation between an industry and the people if serves than that ofthe implement industry and farming. Its inception was the making available to other ’farmers the tools which one ingenious farmer developed to lighten his own labors and enable him to accomplish more in the always-too-shorf seasons. Its support by farmers to the point which has enabled the building of organiza­ tions financially strong enough and technically equipped to carry on large scale experimental engineering has increased its efficiency and usefulness to the benefit of every farmer. In the implement engineer, the farmer has had a partner ever intent on finding: easier and more profitable ways of doing the jobs he has to do. The co-operation of the implement maker, in this respect, has transformed farming and made farm life pleasanter and more profitable — a co-operation that really counts.

Though he could have set­ tled down as Chief Electoral Officer till the ripe old age for retiring, he re­ signed in 1927 to become a partner in the law firm of Smart and Biggar in Ottawa. In his interesting profession­ al career in the Capital he handled a number of large and intricate proper­ ty and constitutional cases. The Pro­ vince of Alberta chose him to act as counsel in the recent famous cases of the Social Credits Act and the Bank Taxation Act. He lost the cases but not the confidence of the Province. He served as Counsel for the Senate Committee on the Railway Situation in 1938 and 1939. ■ Ice Cubes Pour six cups freshly boiled water over six teaspoons black tea, one stick of cinnamon, three cardamon seeds, and four whole cloves.
