Brucefield Men Won
Share of Laurels
By W, H: Johnston, in the London
Free Press,
Previously we have told something
of the btlsittes5 men of the thriving
hamlet of Brucefielii, In this article
we wish to write of those who occup-
ied a professional niche in the Wet-
ory of the burg. Also there has been
mention in tate past to mets of the
pulpit and for that reason surther
reference to them will be brief.
An early comer was Rev. John
Ross, of the Presbyterian Church,
and famous as the man 'with the
book. Wilen the reform party was re-
elected to power in 1874 their minis-
ter of finance, Sir Richard Cartwright,
was defeated. As South Huron was n
safe riding for the party, the member -
elect, John McMillan, was persuaded
to open the riding for Sir Richard on
condition that the delegates from
each of the polling subdivisions voted
to (10 so. Political feeling MRS strong
far and against.
The convention was held to be a
sacred trust, therefore it was held le
the church and Rev. John Ross was
called upon to offer a petition for div-
ine
ivine guidance:, which he did in a mem-
orable prayer which was not soon
forgotten. The result of the ballot
of one vote. The McMillans were dis-
appointed and the Cartwrights wove
pointed and elle Cartwrights were
elated. 111 the election of 1878 John
McMillan carried the election and re-
preseuted South Huron hum that

George Meelwan.
But it was as the mecca or site
medical fraternity that Bruoelield
became noted. The- early establish-
mentof the village as -a business
centre at the crossroads Of the two
important arteries of traffic, the
hayfield-Seafol'th Road and the Lon-
don Road, gave it a prominence that
attracted the outside world, Dr. Mc-
Intosh, a veterinary surgeon and Dr.
Swan, for humans, were established
at an early date and were quite suc-
cessful. Others slid not retrain eo
loug but sought adventure in wider
fields. Three of those who practised
here about 60 to 70 years ago filled a
large place in the medical profession.
Dr. James Stewart had a rather
unique experience in his first three
months, It was said that in that, time
he took in only 25 cents for motes -
Mattel services. Nothing daunted, he
continued his medical studies and be-
fore many years was called to Mc-
Gill University as one of their pro-
fessors, Drs. William 001111 and How-
ard Elliott were two who later de-
veloped into specialists of high rank.
Dr. Genn, with characteristic energy,
began the practice of general surg-
ery and opened the first hospital in
Clinton. Here he was on call day or
night andfor many years he per-
formed hundreds of operations, all
over the surrounding country,
Brueefleld became too small for Dr.
Elliott also and iv the erty of Den-
ver, Colo., he became one of the lead-
ing physicians.

"And what do you charge for your
rooms," he asked,
"Five dollars up," was the reply.
"Yes, but I'm a student," he said,
thinking the price a little high.
"That being the case. the price rs
live dollars down," replied to land-
lady, who had bad experience.
"Have you noticed one add thing
about blunt people??"
"No, what?"
"They are the cites cello generally

FERC BULLARD RETURNS
FROM ENGLAND
Fifty Canadian veterans of the
Battle of Britain, scarred by air
raids and blackout accidents arrived
home in Toronto last week end. They
were part of a group of 150 -odd re-
turning Canadians and included -tt
few from Hamilton and London, On-
tario. The majority of those invalided
home, expect to be sufficiently re-
stored alter a period of corvales-
t'0n(e to serve ttgsitt in Catania if not
overseas. One had lost a hand, air -
other an eye, annther a finger. One
was still in a cast after being severe-
ly injured in a blackout motor accid-
ent. They all had rate stories to tell
but spoke with one voice in praising
the t'oulrageous calm of tete British
people. Even though their louses
were flattened by bourns, 131'itish
morale Would not crack, they were
confident. The party left. a Scottish
port about three weeks ago about the
time the ill-fated City of Benares set
out.' The men's ship, however, was
forced 'to turn back for repairs and
so lost two days, otherwise, the men
figured, they would probably have
encountered the submarine which tot'-
pedoetl the Believes. The most pitiful
sight of the trip, said one of the men,
was the wreckage, overturned life-
boats and tubber playballs -floating
on the ocean about where the Beli-
eves was sunk.
A few of the sten were among
those who spent six days in France
before the collapse there. They drove
their own French train to the coast.
Their gunners tore holes in the coach
roofs and mounted their guns for'
aircraft but spotted nitre.
The group included Harry Croley,
of Hamiltolt, and Fergus Bullard,
who enlisted at London shortly after
