to run into a cow on the Lake Road,
badly damaging the front of his car.
It was about six o’clock in the even

from one farm to another across the
road. As it was dusk and a drizzling
rain was falling, Mr. Woods did not
see the cattle until nearly upon them?'

MINUTE MINIATURES
Hugh Llewelyn. Keenleyside, M.A.
Ph.D.p E.R.H.S.
Of the many stout jobs handed to
Dr. Hugh Llewellyn Keenleyside in
Ottawa, none has been more particu
larly fitting than his present duty as
Secretary of the Canadian Section of
the Permanent Joint Defence Board.
For the last work he polished off be
fore joining the Department of Ex
ternal Affairs in 1929 was the writing
of an authoritative volume, “Canada
and the United States.” In this book
a kindly personality dodges back and
forth across the border, telling with
enthusiasm but with no spleen the
story of the North American Contin
ent, tracing with complete frankness
the vicissitudes leading up to “the
lifting of the relationships of the Uni
ted States and Canada to a place of
sane dignity,” as the volume’s intro
duction puts it. The general public,
hoping in their hearts that “sane dig
nity” may yet evolve rin the afafirs
of the world at large, fee confident;
that Dr. ICeenleyside will play a truly
constructive part in the hopeful and
rather exciting collaboration between
the United States and the British
Commonwealth of Nations that has
been initiated to-day.
Just born in Toronto, Dr. Keenley-
side moved a few months later to
^Vancouver, where he was brought up,,
took his B.A. at the University of
B. C. and truly planted his heart in
Canada’s west. At Clark University,
Worcestter, Mass., he took his M.A.
and Ph.D. in Economic History and
International relations. Thereafter he
taught history and economics at Pen
nsylvania State, Brown and Syracuse
Universities in the United States and
at his own Alma Mater in Canada.
Keenleyside’s first outside job for
the External Affairs Department was
to go over to Japan in 1929 to open
Canada’s new Ministry in Tokio. He
remained as First Secretary, with
stretches of acting as Charge D’Affair
es, until 1936. The Hokuseido Press
in Japan published in 1937 another
bdok in which Dr. ICeenleyside col
laborated with an Englishman, A. &
Thomas, M.A. (Oxon), M.R.T.S.
“History of Japanese Education.”
Baron Tomii, while Japanese Minister
at Ottawa, declared that such was the
prestige earned for himself by Dr.
Keenleyside during his years in Tokio
that any writing of his on Japan was
certain to be both accurate_ and val
uable. Dr. ICeeleyside, during his stay
in Tokio, was a member of the
Council of the Asiatic Society of Jap
an.
- As Secretary of the Interdepart
mental Committee on the Royal Tour
in 1939, lie individually made the
“contact” between the Committee, who
formed policies, and the general pub
lic, private persons and organizations
as well, all over Canada. His part in
the success of the Tour was inval
uable, due in large degree to his own
personality. With no trace of burea-
cracy and a refreshing Western habit
of doing big own thinking, Dr. Keen
leyside could be firm and dignified,
giving the public a clear impression
of the importance not of his own
authority but of the country’s pride
in how it arranged things for its King
and Queen.
On the appointment of the late Lor
ing Christie as, Minister to Washing
ton, Dr. Keenleyside was promoted to
the position of Counsellor/in the De
partment of External Afafirs. His
task in the department was a full one,
covering among other duties member
ship on the Canadian Shipping Board
and the War Scientific and. Technical
Development Committee. He is also
a member of the North West Territor
ies Council as successor to the late
Dr. Skelton. The Government has
reserved the right for Dr. ICeenleyside
to sit with the new Canada-United
States Joint Economic Committees as
occasion may require—a position cor
responding to that reserved for Mr. A.
A. Berle Jr., Assistant Secretary of
State, by the United States Govern
ment. On his shoulders falls much of
the responsibility in Canada’s dealings
with the United States and ^he Far
East.
constructed at the Central Experi
mental Farm, Ottawa, consists of a
coil, a light strap iron standard and
a swinging bar to make and break
the electric circuit. The standard is
made of 1/8 inch strap iron, is mount
ed on the posts of the coil which ord
inarily hold the brass vibrator cover
plate, and extends above the coil to
support a swinging bar or contact
pendulum. This unit on a six volt
battery will operate one to five miles
of fence.
Electric fence units MUST for the
sake of safety be operated from bat
teries. Never, attempt to operate a
fence unit from a 110 volt or 32 volt
line as such a unit is very dangerous.
A six volt car battery will operate
almost any type of fence unit for more
than eight weeks, but charging of the
battery is recommended at 60 day
intervals.
For cattle, hors'es and hogs, electric
fence has proved very satisfactory but
is sometimes not considered suitable
for use with sheep, goats, or young
calves. The height- of an electric
fence, wire should be about % the
height of the animals in the enclosure
or about 30" above the ground for
cattle. Standard knob insulators are.
suitable mounting units for electric
lines. Occasionally, however, farmers
use pieces oh rubber ho'se or pieces
of old inner tube for insulators, but
such insulators may not prove'satis
factory in wet weather. Due to falling
branches, which short the line, elec
tric fences cannot be recommened in
bush lots.
