. J, Denehtaan, former Liberal
l _ for North Huron, has joined
we Deparement of ,'Munitions and
Supply on a "special rpeiblicity"
assignment, Mr, Deno -Main is 02
,years of age, a native of Huron
R. J. DEAGHMAN
County but, fn fact, a westerner. He
graduated from Guelph with a
B.S.A. degree, but so far es Ms
friends are aware, journalism, not
agriculture, has been his one and
only love.
As a publicity man—,Munitions
.and supply—Mr. Deachman will do
atplendfd work on the "economics"
of our war purchasing. Be is not a
"publicity" man in the ordinary
sense of the term; never was and
never will be.
The Henchman record is colorful.
He matured in Calgary in the palmy
days whew the 'Eye Opener' was in
its full glory. He can still quote
Pages from his redoubtable weekly.
The pity of it is that iMr. Bennett
should, 'have banished one of the
most original of .all Canada's pub-
lications from ,the Library of Par-
liament. He has been a life-long
pal of L. W. B'rockington, ICC,, now
also at Obtawa. ,Both are mestere of
the wine crack and excel in the
naked phrase. Ile is a true Liberal
so chock full of individualism that
he finds it difficult to Co-operate
with others. He is a Free Trader,
unrepentant and undismayed by the
inficwing tide off autarchy and re-
gimentation. He thrives on con-
troversy'and writes often with a pen
dipped in bitter, burning acid. Yot
to meet him he is Charming, Hls
mind has the sheer directness at a
rapier. He is a gay companion,
witty and, with a delicious, if mor.
dant, sense of humor..
Mr. Deaehman came to Ottawa in
the late twenties and appeared on
behalf of consumers before. W. H.
Moore's Advisory tariff Board. Over
a period of time he undoubtedly but-
tressed the low tariff case. He in-
furiated manufacturers both by DM -
less lampooning and by outright
argnmtewt. One recalls the occasion
when a distinguished group of mem;
bers of a Board of Trade appeared
in support of an application for
higher *duties, 'Mr. Deachman got off

World was mud then surely lioarda

At last he got into Parliament, Ha

He drew chiefly for inspiration
upon a long-standing antagonism to

uwolation, Perhaps no one has been
able' to mimic the former Conserve -
tiara leader as well as Mr, Deachman
Indeed the Deaehman rendition of
the speech "RmB," would have made
at,Runnymede is a classic.
When Mr, Bennett retired, the sun
dipped and .twilight came. "Prof.'

And love and hope and cheer.

Prove their thanks in daily living;
