Stanley, doctor, druggist and author, was born in Exeter, Ont., and moved to the West as a young man. He is the author of the book, “Fun in the Foothills," in which he reminisces about his life in the West when it was opening up.) Dr. G. D.

Exeter Times-Advocate PHONE 31-W EXETER I In addition to his efforts to- I ward the improvement of the } health and welfare of his many patients, his interest in public welfare and community effort has been remarkable. Through the Doctor’s keen., interest in the education and well-being of the students, Mount Royal College has a beautiful new gymnasium dedicated to Dr. Stanley. The Doctor’s varied interests find hint a regular attendant of Wesley United Church on whose board he has been active for many years as well as being an active member of the Masonic Lodge. Dr. George D. Stanley is one of Alberta’s best known doctors and a dean of the profession in Canada, and has practiced medi­ cine for 50 years without havim his M.D.!

Dr. Stanley kept the times, but when . his comfortable Calgary it doesn’t take long i out that this cheerful the smoking jacket and slippers would be just as much on the seat of a buggy, driving a spirited, high-stepping team of blacks. And how a medical man could receive an honorary degree of of doctors of laws—as Dr. Stan­ ley did recently from the Uni­ versity of Alberta—before he re­ ceived his degree in medicine is not only something that could happen only in the vigorous West, but is indicative of the vigorous character of those who came to open the West. Went "West Because Of Illness In the case of Dr. Stanley that is the situation in more ways than one, for he came west be­ cause he had tuberculosis in the days when the only cure for tuberculosis was plenty of sun­ shine, plenty of food and plenty of hope. “Well,” said Dr. Stanley, “I found Southern Alberta had plenty of sunshine and I had a strong stomach. And as for hope, well, they thought I was going to die once, but that years ago. I got over long ago.” For years the Doctor ailment to himself and on one occasion it almost backfired. He was sitting on a pile of lumber at High River enjoying the sun­ shine, when the lumberman asked him to help carry a couple of boards. Dr. Stanley refused without giving his reasons.“Word got around,” li£ smiled, “that the new doctor was about the laziest creature God made.” Born In Exeter Dr. Stanley was born in ter, Ontario, in 1876. He all his young life at St. Marys, Ontario, was-graduated from thb high school there and from the University of Toronto medical school in 19 01. He was made a life member to the Canadian Medical Association in Halifax in 1950 and in 19 51 was able to put the letters M.D. on his little black bag.

In June of of 1901 were route’s convocation, about a dozen members of the class left, and Dr. Stanley was given his Doctor of Medicine de­ gree. The doctor has written a book called “Fun in the Foothills.” A book that will bring a great deal of pleasure to a number of people, especially those wlfo have lived in or visited in the west. Dr. Stanley recalls that he traveled many miles over very rough roads and often in the middle of the night, driving his black team which became his close but silent friends. He once astounded the Masonic Lodge gathering by saying he had eon- all the secrets of Masonry couple of friends, but he they wouldn’t talk. bought a car before any- thought of licensing them.

He received the license personally from the provincial secretary of the day who told him he was lucky in numbers. If he was ever in trouble for speeding all he had to do was turn the plate upside down and he’d have No. 9. An interesting chapter in the book is dedicated to the famous Bob Edwards, editor of the popu­ lar “Eye Opener,” a booklet pub­ lished monthly in High River and read by everyone. The bolder elements of the population read it openly; the prudish read it stealthily in the corner. All Kinds Of Cowboys There were cowboys and cow­ boys. Some of the boys were just as wild and irresponsible as the unbroken bronchos they had to ride and there were others who handled the bronchos just as well and yet were as responsible and dependable as men could be. Many of the yarns deal only with the former group whose escapades have provided the pre­ sent generation with many good laughs but were a "pain in the neck” to the steady settlers of their own generation. The recog­ nized procedure was to get to the old hotel as often as possible, preferably at the weekend, ride into the bar on horseback, drink their beer, “in status quo”, with the horses noses right up on the bar. A.,doctor’s life then, as now, was never his own. On the day of his marriage to the former Miss Annie Colvin, of Hamilton, Ont., on November 11, 1903, he had to leave the reception to attend a confinement in the country. He got back the next day to find another team wait­ ing to take him to the second case. When he got back he found his little bride in tears, after all this country was new, strange and a bit frightening to a girl newly arrived from the effete East. Mrs. Stanley proved herself a girl with character and the ideal wife for this courageous, friendly young doctor. She was a loving mother, faithful and facturer suggests using a cut” attachment on mowers to make it easier pasures at the right height. loyal wife until her death forty- four years later.
