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

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

"I don't have time for any other hobbies,',
Mr. Newcombe said laughingly of his time
