I've been trying to get in It was decided to give each
Memorial plaque.. pIaced
for Wingham pioneer.
A pioneer of Southwestern
Ontario radio, the late W. T.
(Doc) Cruikshank was honored
in Wingham on Sunday, October
3. ' A memorial. plaque • was
dedicated in Cruikshank Park for
the .founder of CKNX radio and
television stattorrs ho�died last
April at the age of 3. f ;
The plaque actually a replica
of the unfinished original, was
unveiled- by Mr. Cruickshank
widow, Mabel, assisted by her
son G. W. (Bud) Cruickshank.
At one time a chauffeur for a
Wingham doctor, • Mr.
Cruickshank laid the
groundwork for CKNX radio in
1926 when he assembled a
transmitter from plans outlined
in a copy of Popular Mechanics
magazine. _ '
He later opened a radio repair
shop and for the next 10 years
broadcast programs to listeners
in the area under an amateur
radio licence.
One explanation for the
nieknaTne "Doc" goes back to
his repair shop days when he
carried his tools and equipment
in a Mack doctor's handbag.
The more widely 'held theory
of origin stems from his
chauffouring of Dr. J. P.
Kennedy- in his spare time. He
---vas--about 15syears old thew and.
held down two other jobs,
working 10 hours daily in an
iron foundry and evenings as a
projectionist at the local theatre.,
Fie was later to buy the
bankrupt theatre and operate it
Y at a, Toss because, according to
CKNX-TV chief engineer Scott
Reid, he felt 'it was a necessary
part of the community.
At the conclusion of the
ceremony the 1?Vingham Business
and Professional Women's Club
presented Mrs. Cruickshank with
a scrapbook detailing her
husband's accomplishments. A
duplicate of the scrapbook was
presented to Wingham Mayor
Dewitt Miller and will- be placed
on public exhibit in the town
hall.
