THE ROARING TWENTIES
(By Joan Sinclair — 10B)
(By Torben . Haa1•bye)
The public speaking,, finals
were held recently. The sen-
ior' winner was Doug Fry, and,
the junior winner was- Joan
Sinclair.
Here are the texts of their
speeches: -
CAN'T SEE IT, TOUCH IT
(By Doug ' Fry -, 12A)
It is behind you; ' it is in
front of you; it is above you.
My topic is all' around you.'But
you can't -see it and you can't
touch it: It has no color, and
it has no smell, yet you use it
everyday.
Mr, Chairman, my topic is
"Radio". With a turn of the
switch it fills the air ,with mus-
ic, voices and sounds of the
world.. Wherever you' go, there
is radio. In this county, the
Voice of Western Ontario is
CKNX, Wingham.
Wingham is the radio town
of Canada. ,The smallest town
in our land having its own pri-
vate radio and television sta-
tion. All of- this., is due to the
imagination and.. •ambition of
one man. He left school in
1915, having graduated from
public school. Because of the
death of his father, he had to
find work. For a while he work-
ed in a furniture factory. He
then became a chauffeur for a
latly doctor. This' earned him
the nickname "Doc". At the
age of 17 he was working 10
hours a• day in a foundry; in
the evening he sold radios for
an hour, and then operated the.
projector in the local theater
until 11 &clock at night. This
man was W. T. "Doc" Cruick-
shank, founder and, owner .,of
CKNX Radio and TV. The
voice of his station has been
heard in Western Ontario for
39 years.
• It began • as a hobby. The
hobby became a dream. And
the dream became 'a radio' sta-
tion. Forty years ago Doc built
a small transmitter with, bits
and pieces of equipment.- He
set the transmitter up hi a
third floor hotel room. On Feb-
ruary 20, 1926, Doc went- "on
the air" and a resident of the
town phoned to say that.: he
was coming in fine". There
were just 12 radios in Wing -
ham at that, time.
MRS. PERCY SPENCER
Funeral services for the late
Mrs. Percy Spencer, who died
April 19th in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, were held from the G.
A. Whitney funeral- home on
Monday, April 26, at 2 p.m.
Rev.' J. C. Britton, of Northside
United Church, officiated, with
interment in Maitlandbank
cemetery.
Pallbearers were Harvey
Coleman, Anson Coleman, Wat-
son Webster, James McEwarl,.
George Taylor and John Eidt.
Since broadcasting was just
a pastime, rather than a busi-
ness, and since the home-made
transmitter :was such an odd
looking affair, Doc christened
it with the .call letters JOKE:
But this was the turning point
that led to, success. Business
thrived and Doc'' soon had to
.hire a staff of seven to run the
operation.
Property Change
property changes reported
through the offictl of Joseph
McConnell, realator, include
the property of , William Nedi-
ger on Ann- Street, to John
Harvey Bryans, Brussels, with
possession July lst, and the
Bruce Hodgert house on West
William Street, to Minnie Harv'
ley, with possession in May. -
In ' the middle of a blinding
blizzard the doctor received a
call from a man whose wife
needed , medical attention. "I'd
be glad to come, but I have no
car," the doctor said, `you'll
have to come for me." -
"What?" exploded the caller;
"in this weather?"

A farmer all his life, he re-
tired some 15 years ago to live
in Constance. His wife, the for-
mer Elizabeth Jane Adams, pre-
deceased him in March, 1963.
He was a member of Constance
United Church. -
•Surviving are one daughter,
1V.irs. W. R. (Ella) Jewitt, Con-
stance; 10 grandchildren, and-
orie` brother, Austin, of Blyth..
The body is, resting at the
G. A. Whitney funeral home,
Seaforth, where funeral servic-
es will be held Friday at. 2:00
p.m., . with the Rev. W, 'M. Car-
son in charge. Interment will
be in Maitlandbank cemetery.
Mr. Chairman: The topic I
have chosen to speak on is
"The Roaring Twenties."
The early twenties was a
time when new inventions were
made, sports introduced, and
the entertainment world spread
widely. • •
Many names were given to
the early 1920,7s, such as, "The
Era of Flaming Youth", -"The
Time of Wonderful Nonsense"
and "The Roaring Twenties."
The last name, "Roaring Twen-
ties;" became the mist known
name, of the three.
This was a time when -the
younger generation seems to,
have cut itself completely from
the traditions' of their elders.
The First World War left a
large gap between the older
and the younger generation.
Many .of the middle-aged men
had been killed and this left
the younger men with little
idea of what went on in their
father's-. and- grandfather's -time..
These younger men set out to
shock their fathers by doing
what "was not done" and seem-
ed to tollow the pattern of:
"Eat, Drink and Be Merry!"
Mothers trerirbled with fear
as their daughters bobbed their
hair, shortened their skirts to
and above their knees, played
tennis in shorts, wore make-up,
a modern bathing snit, and
went to a dance in a car un-
chaperoned. The modern dress
of this timewas a straight un-
fitted garment, long dangly
beads, and a tight -fitted hat.
Sizes did not seem to create a.
problem for this style of dress:
The car was a new invention
of this time and proved to be
a means of escape to go to
dances, night=clubs and parties.
-After the war, the bootleggers
and rum; runners seemed to
have a booming business. Al-
though seli'ing • liquor was
against the law, this, too, be-
came part of their entertain-
ment.
Jazz, seemed to be, the per-
fect music for such an uproar-
ious age. Jazz musicians had
started to come - from New
Orleans and spread their wild
music all over the country.
Many of the finest stars were
King Oliver, Jelly .Roll Morton
and Louis Armstrong. With this
wild exciting music, played on
the saxaphone, the teenagers
of this time had,.no trouble in
keeping pp with the pace "9f
the music by doing the. Shim-
my, Charleston, Black -Bottom,
and the fox trot.
The movies` became sensa-
tionally popular. At first, only
silent pictures were shown, but
in 1927 Al Jolson starred in the
first talking picture.
Sports seemed to be more
important now. It was stated
that a. university graduate was
willing to donate money to his
old university for a football
stadium;, but when asked about
money for a library, -there
seemed; to be a drawback.. It
appeared as if sports came be-
fore studies.
This was a restless age. The
younger generation • had re-
belled against 'the past and
thrown all the ideas and cus-
toms of the past and started
with many new and daring ex-
periences.
In 1941 CKNX began • to
broadcast from studios on Wing-
ham's
ingham's main street, and at the
same time moved ,to 920 on the
dial.
CKNX has built its reputa-
tion of community service. A
town dedicates a new arena. A
farmer loses a cow. The Wo-
man's Institute needs a speak-
er at their meeting. A Walker-
ton man wants to know how
the road is to' London. A Sea -
forth church celebrates an an-
niversary. The 4-11 girls 'want
loudspeakers for their fashion
show. These are just a fete re-
quests and events to which
CKNX will always says: "Yes!
We'll be there."
In 1955 CKNX took over the
unused Wingham High School
building and transformed it in-
to a modern radio and TV sta-
tion. However, a disastrous fire
destroyed the entire operation
on March' ;8, 1962. The build-
ing and equipment were gone,
but with the services of the
mobile unit they were off the
air for only 10 minutes.
In September of 1963 a brand
new station arose on the same
site. It is now one of the best
designed and equipped R and T
stations in Canada, -with a staff
of 78 people. Doe, his staff and
his station continue to be
household words in our coin,
munity, and they continue to
serve all Of Western Ontario:
