University honors Clintortiart on his 50th artnivers AyDavidEmsliP Juitie 7, Walter Newcombe, 75, at Ciin- ton, was honored at the University of Tor -GP to at the Golden 'T' Dinner for having his degree in pharmacy for 50 years. Mr. Newcombe started working in the pharmacy of H,C. Dna*. fn Goderich 1927. He began his apprenticeship. at the pharmacy in 1991, and started his umverstiY training m 1934. His training at the universi- ty was completed in 1936. "After graduation 1 went back there (Goderich) until 1950," Mr. Newcombe said. "I was with hixn for 23 years." After leaving Goderich, the Newcombes moved to Clinton where they bought a store from W.S.R. Holmes. That was located where the Bank of Montreal currently stands. "In 1955 they were enlarging the bank, and we had to move out," Mr. Newcombe said. "We then built the building where the present drug store and Lee's is now." When he began the new pharmacy in 1955 it was one of the first in south-western On- tario that was a self serve drug store. "We had people coming to look at the store from Windsor to Ottawa. CKNX made a deal with me to broadcast the opening of the store," Mr. Newcombe said. "That was some day." In 1976 the phamacy, which is now J and J Pharmacy, was sold to Mrs. Alilovic. It was taken over on November 1 of that year. - Although no longer a practicing phar- macist, Mr. Newcombe still renews his license every year. "If I quit and wanted to get it again, I would have to write the ex- ams, and I'd never pass them now," he said. Mr. Newcombe could still work as a phamacist if he wanted to, as long as he keeps his license. When questioned on whether he misses the work, Mr. Newcombe replied, "No way. I was glad to get out of it, it was a real rat race." He said this was especially true with the, Drug Benefit plan the government came out with that gave seniors free.prescriptions, as there was a lot of extra book work. Over the years, W. Newcombe saw many changes coming about in the pharmacy business, with new drugs coming out all of the time, but the largest change he witness- ed was pharmaceutical computers. These computers, which had their centre in Toronto, made the job of the pharmacist easier, as the pharmacist would just punch in the DIN number of the drug, and the Ken Hart Ken Hart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hart, Clinton, graduated from Fanshawe College, London where he received his diploma as a Child Care Worker. He is presently employed by Homestead, Goderich. Ken is a graduate of Central Huron Secondary Schdol. WALTER NEWCOMBE name of the drug and the prescription would4 come out. The computer would also type outf the label for the prescription containers, Mr. Newcombe explained. "Pill counters came in too," he said. "YoU1', just dumped a bunch of tablets in, punched/ in the number you wanted, and out they came." Mr. Newcombe was also a charterg member of the Bluewater Shrine Club for! many years, and he was the treasureer of the club for 16 years. 3 • The majority of Mr. Newcombe's time E. since retirement has been taken up with lawn bowling. He can be found on many Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays bowl- 7; ing in tournaments, and on Tuesdays andi Thursdays bowling at the Clinton Lawn Bowling Club, where he was president for six or seven years. For four months every winter, Mr. Newcombe and his wife, Ruth, live in Florida. While in Florida, much of his leisure time is again used to pursue his. favorite sport. ° "I don't have time for any other hobbies,', Mr. Newcombe said laughingly of his time consuming passion for lawn bowling.
