James Magee's whole family has participated in
archery and has won many awards. Mr. Magee
was the president of the first organized archery
club in Ontario and twice missed by two points
from winning the Canadian championship in
archery. He even constructs his own archery
bows. (Photo by Joanne Walters)

five brothers are all in
carpentry and various
other areas of con-
struction as well. Is it any
wonder that one of their
two daughters is with the
long term planning
department in City Hall,
London and is married to
a man who is a surveyor?
It would almost seem to
be a natural course.
Mr. Magee says his
grandfather made many
barn tools which his
daughters would like to
inherit some day. Mr.
Magee himself has made
a lot of his own tools and
says when he started in
his business, this was
often necessary.
ARCHER
During the war, Mr.
Magee was a works in-
spector for the Depart-
ment of National Defence
and he ran a door
manufacturing firm in
Guelph. While in Guelph,
he also founded the
Guelph Royal Archers.
Mr. Magee's whole
family participated in
archery and have won
many awards --almost
every award given for
archery in Canada. Mr.
Magee was, in fact, the
first president of an°
organized archery club in
Ontario, Hunter and
° Field Archers of Ontario.
MADE VIOLIN
AT 15
Mr. 'Magee has beer
building and repairing
guitars and violins for
about 50 years now "just
asa hobby". His• family
were poor folks who lived
in the county, he says and
they were not able to just
go to 'a store and buy an
instrument. If he wanted
to play an instrument, he
'had to make it. So, that's
just what he did.
Mr. Magee says he
made his first violin when
he was about 15 years old.
He has been perfecting
Not only does James Magee make • guitars and violins, he also makes ar-
chery bows, furniture and even wooden shoes! He is a man of many talents.
Here he shows a head board which he made for a bed in the house which he
designed for himself in Goderich. He is a retired architect. (Photo by Joanne
Walters)

his talent over the years
and one big help to him in
this area occurred when
he visited Hen-
dersonville, Tennesee
where he has relatives.
There, he talked to a very
knowledgable man who
also makes guitars and
•violins and he picked up a
lot of good tips.
He does special custom
work and since moving to
Goderich, several people
have come to him wan-
ting their guitars or
violins fixed. He holds up
a plastic bag which
contains numerous pieces
of a violin which a person
has brought into him to be.
put back together again.
The task at hand does not
seem to worry him. •
"Two years ago I
restored two violins both
156 years old," he says.
Mr. Magee makes his
own cardboard patterns
of different sizes to start
with. He uses a special
kind of spruce wood for
the top of his guitars
because it has an open
grain and is therefore
more resonant, he ex-
plains. He uses cherry
wood for the back plate,
neck and sides because
this is a hard wood which
takes a nice finish.
Some people request
diffrent patterns on their
instruments and Mr.
Magee has fashioned
small pieces of different
types off wood which fit
together to makevarious
in -laid patterns- for this
purpose.
In order to build your
own guitars and violins,
you you have to have a lot
of different types of tools
and some of these tools
even have to be made by
hand. So, guitar and
violin makers are not that
common.
Mr. Magee used to
make his own finger
boards to glue onto the
necks of his guitars but
now he buys them since
the fret saws needed to
make these finger boards
can't be purchased any
more. He even stocks
ebony finger boards, but
says these are very ex-
pensive --about $100.
CROSS-SECTION
Mr. Magee says he
likes a good cross-section
of music. He mostly
sticks ,to playing the
guitar but his wife plays
Consumers
should be
conservers
BY GERRY 2URBRIGG,
ENERGY CONSERVATION CENTRE,
LUCKNOW
We are all Consumers.
We must now become thoughtful and educated
consumers, so that our Consumer Society can
become a Conserver Society. We know_there is a
limit to our non-renewable energy resources in
Canada. It is essential, then, that we start NOW
to conserve energy. By doing this we can
hopefelly return to the "waste''not, want not"
ethic that has always been a part of our heritage.
Much of the fat in our energy diet•leads to fat
on our bodies. Energy conservation could lead to
more exercise, better diets, less pollution and
other benefits to human health. We could lead
lives as rich, healthy and fulfilling - using less
than half of the energy now used - with as much
comfort and with more employment.
We must set about changing the habits of a
lifetime to convert a consumer society into a
conserver society. Here are some things to keep
in mind:
Buy for permanence and durability. Resist
advertising pressure to purchase en-
vironmentally unsound goods (e.g. aerosol cans,
non -returnable containers). -
Make gasoline mileage your paramount
concern in purchasing a new car.
Buy food items in large size packages. This
will not only save money but, just as important,
it reduces the amount of packaging required.
Avoid buying instant foods (instant mashed
potatoes, cake and cookie mixes, etc.) A great
deal , of energy is used to produce these
"prepared" foods.
Buy cheese in bulk, not wrapped in plastic.
. Don't chase the yearly fashions. Try to buy
quality clothing that will survive the fashion
swings.
Buy stationery, Christmas cards, that, have
been made from recycled, post -consumer waste
paper.
If at all possible, plant a home garden. A
carefully tended 20 feet by 20 feetplot can
produce $400 worth of fresh produce, saving fuel
and money (and providing some very tasting
eating).
Let's become a Conserver society by choice,
not by necessity.

the, electric organ. His
father's brother was a
music teacher and he
studied violin under him.
He can also remember,
as a small child, before
he began to play an in-
strument himself, ac-
companying his father
and a neighbour lady
when they went to play
with the Lombardos in
London. The late Guy
Lombardo was a member
of this same family.
Mr. Magee has played
with various bands.
During the wear he was in
a country and western
band based in Brantford
called Jim Magee and the
Texans. He played with a
band called the Rhythm
Riders out of Tillsonburg
and he played mostly
popular music.
At one time, Mr. Magee
was playing as much as
four nights a week and he
even played with the
Canadian Cowboys over
CFPL radio but says that
wasn't very long-lived.
At present, he is
playing his guitar just for
amusement. . He has
teamed up with Gord
Harrison of Goderich on
several occasions. They
played on the Square
during Jubilee 3 and will
e
be playing on the Square
again on June 29. They
will also be playing in
nursing homes.
Mr. Magee's one
daughter was also an
entertainer for awhile,
playing in London's Little
Theatre group.
Mr. Magee says, he and
his wife love living in
Goderich. The people are
nice and friendly, he
says. They came to know
and like Goderich a few
years back when they
visited a friend's cottage
near Bayfield. That
friend was Jesse James,
who was born and raised
in Goderich and played
saxophone in a band with
Mr. Magee. He is the son
of George James who had
a band in Goderich at one
time, years ago.
When Mr. Magee
retired and sold his
business in London about
three years ago, he and
his wife moved to
Goderich and they built
their own home at 135
Trafalgar Street last
year.
Mr. Magee continues to
be living proof of his
statement that "it's good
to have hobbies" and with
his many talents, he is an
asset to any community.
