WHEN you meet Don `.Fair-,
bairn,' it does not take long to`
understand the reason for his
success in his chosen field : „ Of
medium height, dark and very
pleasant Iooking, he has the
happy faculty of showinga gen-
uine interest in anyone he meets
-or in anything, no matter how
trivial . . He is a good listener
and an eeivally good talker and
he is able to obtain information
without "seeming to do so . .
HIS father was a fruit farme
near Beamsville, so his early day
were spent on the farm and late
he attended the Ontario Agricu
tural College, at approximat
ely the same time as "Nick
Whyte , , Don was with th
RCAF during the war, where h
rose through the ranks to becom
what he described as a "local
Pilot Officer" . While over
seas, he also did special wor
for the CBC, including broadcast
to prisoners -of -war in German
and at the end of the war a
CBC representative, went wi
the Canadian troops into Berli
He tells an interesting story,
of his experiences, as the onl
Canadian in a press party of 2
which accompanied Presider.
Truman (in Germany for the
Potsdam conference) when he
inspected various American units
in that country -and also during
the trip, decorated the head of
Canadian Armed Forces General
Creraer . As the only Canad-
ian present he had several pleas-
ant encounters with, the Presi-
dent and other top American
"brass" . And Don told us
that Mr. Truman, altho+ still in
the early days of his presidency,
showed even then his ability to
make quick and important de-
cisions (as he did so ably several
veeks ago)

DON seemed to enjoy the
contacts he made in Clinton for
the broadcast, and it should be
very interesting However,
we are not going to tell you what
they were and so spoil it by giving
details in advance , .. For acous-
tical reasons. the broadcast will
be held in Clinton Lions Arena,
so there will be lots of room for
everyone - eitho' maybe not
enough seats „ Tickets for the
seats are now available at The
NEWS -RECORD Office and, of
course, there is no charge for
them . .
