CircusRecord Crowds

For everyone it was the first circus since the war started; for hundreds 0fstarry.eyed youngsters it was the first circus 0f their lives. And it was the firstevent 0f its kind ever held in Stanley Stadium. With this historic background thefour-day performance 0f the Garden Brothers three.ring circus last month atCopper Cliff was an event long to be remembered by the thousands who saw it.

Sudbury Shriners were the sponsors 0f the show, and proceeds went to theirfund for underprivileged crippled children.

It was a clean, attractive circus. Everyone remarked on the smart freshcostumes 0f the performers, and on the crisp high standard 0f the acts. ShouldGarden Brothers return next year with a similar show, they will be assured 0fcapacity audiences.

The Triangle camera was busy during the Tuesday afternoon perforxfance,focussed chiefly on the delighted faces of the children as round upon round ofthe romantic pageant unfolded. Tulsa, the elephant which with amazing surefootedness walked out to the centre 0f a 4-inch plank, turned around, and walkedback again, was one 0f the sensations which kept the kiddies bug.eyed. ProfessorGeorge Keller sent shivers up their spines as he reclined nonchalantly on a heapof his ferocious wild animals. Wilbur Hill's trained dogs and ponies drew a storm0f applause. The cycling Kirks were acrobatic marvels, and on the Wednesdayafternoon a motorist passing through a town 50 miles from Sudbury saw a boystubbornly wrestling with his bike in an effort to imitate their feats. The aerialMathieus, the Heerdinks, the trained bears, and all the other wonders of thesawdust circles made an indelible impression. Intrepid boys brought gales 0flaughter with their attempts to stick on the sleek back 0f Ferdinand, the Hollywoodbull. Led by Fifi, the five clowns 0f the circus were a riot of fun and foolishness.The cotton candy salesman, and the boy who hawked the balloons and othernovelties, did land.oflice business.

The crowds came from all over the district by bus, truck, and car. Oneold couple arrived on the Monday morning by horse and buggy and stuck aroundall day, School children attended in shifts. Many adults went twice and eventhree times. The good old days had returned; the war was definitely and finallyended.

Thefollowing September there was another debateon "Resolved that the manufacture, importa-tion, and sale of alcoholic liquors as a bever-age should be prohibited in Canada." Sup-porting the affirmative were E. C. Lambert,T. D. Jarvis, and L. M. Sheridan, while thenegative wa upheld by R. L. Moorehouse,E. T. Dunn, and C. S. Stewart.

Now a metallurgist of international distinc-tion, Dr. Farnham was in Copper Cliff in Juneto confer with the Research Department. Atthe same time another former Cliffite, F. P.Bernhard of New York, Chief Comptroller ofthe Company, was making one of his regularvisits to the head office.

Chris MacPhail isNew Port Engineer

Seen in the accompanying photo studyingblueprints in his office is Chris MacPhail, newworks engineer at the Port Colborne Refinery.

A retiring sort of a gent, not exactly givento any wild outbursts of personal publicity,Chris was born at Vernon, 23 miles from Ot-tawa. His father was the school teacher thereand later moved to Copper Cliff, where super-annuation concluded a distinguished career asa pedagogue. Other members of the family areJack, on the police detail at Frood; Don, ofthe Orford Department at Copper Cliff; Allis-ter, sparksman with the Inco Electrical Depart.ment; Mrs. Bill Armstrong of the Cliff, wbosehusband is a metallurgist AND a golfer.

After taking his preliminary education inCopper Cliff and Sudbury, Chris spent two yearsat Queen's in Mechanical Engineering, andfrom 1922 to 1931 was in the Mechanical En.gineering Department at the Cliff. Then hehad himself a sabbatical 4-year period at Lake-shore. Returning to Inco, he enlisted in Julyof 1942 in the Ordnance Corps and in 1944transferred to the R.C.E.M.E. Up to May of1946 he criss.crossed Canada shooting enginer-ing troubles for the services. He liked the lifein a way, but is mighty glad to be settled downwith his family in a nice spot like Port Colbotne.

He was married in 1932 to Miss Bertha J.Mitchell of Sudbury, who was a nurse at CopperC1ff Hospital when the love bug bit. Theyhave a son, Chris, aged 12, and a daughter,Jean, 8.

Collecting stamps and reading, chiefly his-torical novels, are the hobbies of this 40-year-oldmachine maker.
