Ralgent, bro- ther of Mrs. Malcolm- Mathers, of Goderich, contains an article about Walter Laidlaw Saunders, a native of Goderich, and brother of Mr, Frank Saunders and Miss Josie Saunders, of Goderich. The article reads: Walter Laidlaw Saunders, P.Eng., District Engineer at Owen Sound until his retirement in 1953, could sum up his engineering career prior to joining D.H.O. in 1922 in the words of the song, "I've Been Working On The Railroad." Born in Goderich April 29, 1889, Mr. Saunders completed high school there and shortly after- wards, in 1907, took a job with a -gen_structinngang-on, one of ,the trans-cOntinental railway lines. In September of that year he entered the University of Toronto, bent upon obtaining a degree in Civil Engineering. For the next seven years be alternated between work- ing on construction of the trans- continental railway and universit3t, as he was paying his own way entirely. Early in the First Great War he went overseas with the Canadian Railway Troops; serving in France and 'Belgium. Discharg- ed in 1-919 with the rank of Lieu-. tenant, he returned. to the C,P.R., on maintenance and ' construction work in western Canada. It was in April, 1922, that Walter Saunders began his service of 31 years with the Department of High- ways. That was at -Guelph, where he started as an Instrumentman. He was Instrumentman also at Walkerton and Stratford before being promoted to Assistant En- gineer at Stratford in 1925. Later he -'Was appointed Resident En- gineer; Stratford, (in the equival- ent pbst of what is now known as District Engineer). ' He remained at Stratford until 1929 when he was transferred to Port Hope in the same position. In March, 1935, he was Made Dis- trict Engineer, Ottawa. He next served as District Engineer, Owen Sound, going there from Ottawa in 1949 atid remaining until February, 1953; Wil'en poor health made it necesSary for him to retire. Like most active men, Walter Saunders has not found retirement completely satisfactory. On two occasions, when his health has per- mitted, he has returned to his first The first was as Resident Engineer for the City of Ottawa on the wid- ening of Carling Avenue. The next was. a period with the Ottaw,a Subarbaa Roads Commission on the building of bridges. A walk after lunch and reading are two of his daily 'pleasures. What he really enjoys are visits with friends and—for you who knew and worked With Walter— if you can't do that, then drop him a line. , It will 'do both of you a lot of good. His address is: 101 Cameron Ave. Ottawa 1, Ontario. The D.H.O.

Operate Hog Plan As Usual TORONTO, July 7. — "the On- tario hog producers marketing plan is continuing to operate as usual without raiyinterrtirttnn or change," stated Charles vy. 'Mc- Innis, president of the Ontario Hog Producers Co-op in a statement issued today on behalf of the board of directors after a special session. According to Mr. lActInnis, the recent decision of Mr. Justice Fer- guSon which suggested the plan was not valid, will have no effect on the holding of the plebiscite of hog producers planned for July 25. "This decision of Mr. Justice Ferguson," stated Mr. MaInnis,, `was-nrademder-proviioltrintte Farm Produce, Marketing Act of Ontario which' was in effect in 195'7. "How'ever, these provisions were amended by the Ontario legislature at its last session and the amend-. ments became law this spring on March 27, 1958.
