C. Wilford Left Canada For the East in 1905 Dr. Edward C. Wilford, e Blyth native, is back in his native province, after 44 years in China,- where he help- ed organize hospitals and a medical school that gave many native Chinese doctors their start, News of Dr. Wilford's return was announced by his brother, A. H. Wil- ford, Toronto trade magazine_ publish- er. War finally drove out Dr. Wilford, although he had figured in many pre- vious conflicts, tending long queues of wounded in the war tore fields, re- gardless of which army they belonged to. His son and two daughters, all born in China, all graduated in medi- cine at the University of Toronto, and two of them, (Muriel and John) mar- !tied doctors and s are still practicing, !along with their mates, The youngest 'child, Patricia, has been engaged in, special post-graduate hospital work in Toronto, but is now building up a private practice. "I ain going to try and get to know my brother all over again," said the Toronto publisher, who prints "Trade and Transportation." "I have ask him what he plans to do next, but he only smiles. I think he plans on a good rest." After graduating at the University of. Toronto half a century ago, Dr. Wilford planned to go to China, but his father, John Wilford, a retired Blyth farmer, insisted on him taking post-graduate work at the University of Edinburgh first, after which he practised briefly in Fergus. The en- thusiastic young medico left for' the East in 1905 and celebrated his 25th birthday there. His only furlough came during World War I, and Dr. Wilford spent it as a medical officer in the Canadian Army in France. liARDEN CLUB HELD FROM BANFF CAMP CADET RETURNS a With Which is Amalgamated The Gorrie Viclette and Wrnxeter News t , • s „ • .' • s' ,• • ..• ,..,„ • , „ • • ' „' • „ " • Single Copies — Five Cents, Aid V W.
