Fifteen years

later by Mary Cocivera

Can an urbane world traveller artist and scientist find happiness in a primitive cottage on the Eram osa River If that person is Anthony A Kings co te OVC 28 retired parasl~ologist Professor Emeritus an d ded icated co nservationist and naturalist then the answer is a res oundi ng yes I

I met Dr Kingscote (King to his friends) at R ocky Roos t a lov ingly untouched acre o cedar birch and pine forest along the Eramosa Ri ver H e built and maintains the rustic hide-away without any m od ern inconveniences like electricity and running water P rched atop one of many limestone potholes in the area and tucked tidil y betw een the toweri ng t rees the cottage seems as natu ral as the nearby beaver lodge

A gentle st on s- t hrow from the cott age door a lone beaver ri ppled the serene w aters 01 the river in searc h o f yet another poplar to fell fo r foo d King to ld how he had just spent the morning cleaning up another VI ctim of the beavers industry but he didnt mind They

need them more than I - the beavers are welcome to them

The soft spongy forest fl oor the profusion of fiddleheads a natural ized garden in a mossy rock grotto - thi s city visitor quietly savoured the I ush patchwork of Images In Kings unspoiled wilderness retreat

Unil three years ago Rocky Roost was home for thi s fascinating acti ve and provocative 75-year-o ld Now a resident of Vancouver King returned for a few weeks in April to vis it a daughter Phoebe who is now liv ing In the cottage and to oversee some surveying work

Vancouver l How can this nature devotee obviously so comfortable in sim pie uncluttered surroundings live in the concrete ju ngle of a city King proves adaptable I can live anywhere with anybody I ve been doing it all my life Im just as happy in a natives hut as I am in a palace I ve visi ted both

Retired yes but in name only Since retiring in 1962 after 32 years at OVC King has accomplished more than most of us manage in a lifetime A project for the Food and Ag riculture Organization of the United Nations took him to the Phili ppines for three years in the late sixties I n his o ffi cial capacit y as parasitologist he traveled throughout the Republic to determine the losses caused by parasitic diseases in food animals and subsequently made recommendations for control

As a naturalist Ki ng headed off into the bush at every opportunity as hes done on virtually every continent in his extensive travels He explored Iem ote parts of some of the 7000 Philippine Isl ands and noted the demise o f once plentiful wildlife The tamarau a wild buffalo on the island of M indanao for instance is fall i ng prey to wealthy hunters who fly in by helicopter to bag a trophy

The artist in King found a veh icle for express ion during the years in Manilla He en rolled in th e Ch inese Artists Guild to learn the ancient art of Ch inese brush paint i ng Returning to Manilla between field triPS King picked up where he left off Under the tutelage of four mentors he and 20 to 30 other students learned this almost mystical art form The Guild said King ru ns in perfect harmony It has no rules and no discipline

For the first year students learn the basics - bamboo chrysanthemum orchid and plum tree Using a brush that can depict In a Single stroke a ti ny mouse whisker or a solid bamboo tree the students learn by recreating paintings by the great masters the accumulation of centuries of study In time said King you develop a freedom of expression that lets the ink sing and the brush dance

Ch inese brush paintings have a cert ain vitalit y because of the Tao or spirit w ithin them Tao is a belief in order and harmo ny in nature W hen an artist succeeds the art and Tao become one King s three yea rs w ith the Guild cu lminated in a showing of his

paintings and brought recognition as a qualified teacher of the art Upwards of 75 of Kingscotes original ink on rice paper painti ngs mounted o n the traditional sil k scrolls are now part of the Universitys permanent art collection

Teaching Chinese brush painting is now a major retirement pursuit K ings students range from 90-year-olds down through publiC school children He likes to spend an afternoon in the classroom giving demonstrations in whi c h the ch ildren parti c ipate

Thi s initial contact through art led to regu lar v isits to school s to tal k abou t nature wild life conservation and marine biology He regularl y tak es classes o n day-long nature hikes and participates in su rviva l and forestry programs for 12 and 13-year-o lds

Vancouver also provides opportunit ies in marine biology Not long ago King and a friend hiked up the inland coast of Vancouver Island collecting shells and mollusks many unique to the area A television program evolved from thi s trip with King sharing facts and folklore about the co llected sea dwellers King has also participated in workshops on intertidal life at the Bamfiel d Research st ation on the west coast of Vancouv r Island

King occasionally returns to his former role as research parasitologist He plans to be part o f the University of Briti sh Col umbia research team study ing a fl y that is a parasite of the cormorant

Lest we have any misconceptions that retirement may mean Ju st that K ing assures us that he also has ambitions to do more writi ng and is worki ng on a book about conservation and nature based on personal experiences off the beaten track the world over He hopes to touc h peoples hearts with episodes about wildlife Although he is concerned about di mi nishi ng wil derness he is hopeful in view of the vast amount of work being done by wildlife associations

King s relentless desireto know things thoroughly has governed his life Not content to dabble in Ch inese paintings he became an expert Not sati sfied with a few bird names he observes and studies each new environment unti l he knows all flora and fauna and their interrelationships This disciplined approach stems in part from an early and continuing interest in scoutin g

My grandmother gave me a copy of Baden-Powells boo k Scouting for Boys when I was ten he remembers Ive had a copy ever since At 65 I finally became a sco ut Following Baden-Powell s advice King focuses on a quest - a goal t o th oroug hly learn something t hat is neither a regular hobby nor a job Ki ng has followed through with many quests throughout his long and fruitful life

How does one succeed in reachi ng such a respectable age still cur ious healt hy active and involved in the world around him King canno t of fer an y prescri ption but recommends the approach in the teachings o f Buddah - everything in moderation

Harry and the

Persistent Publisher On Ihe cover A pair o f Pileated Woodpeckers Illustration courtesy of the Metro Toronto Central Library as reproduced in The 19th Century Journals and Paintings of William Pope M F Fehely Publishers Ltd Toronto

by Mary Dickieson

Any man who has served in Canadas navy deserved a chance Thats what the letter said when it arrived two days before classes began in 1945 to admit Harry B Bar rett to the Ontario Agricultural College Harry had been flatly rejected by the Ontario Veterinary College and told he probably wouldnt make it into OAC either because he lacked Grade 12 languages So the letter seemed almost like a reprieve until Harry arrived in Guelph and met 50 feltow classmates with the same letter

Harry Barrett OAC 49 tells this story with a chu ckle just as he tal ks about bei ng chased by a persistent publisher while compiling his book on Canadas first artistshynaturalist The 19th Century Journals and Paintings of William Pope was published last year by M F Feheley Publishers Ltd Toronto Mr Feheley tracked down Harry after reading his 1967 article on Pope which appeared in the Ontario Naturalist He

didnt know if I coul d write or not laughs Harry but he said I was the only b who knew anything about William Pope

H arry does indeed know a great deal about William Pope Hes been collecting inform ation on Pope for over 40 years I w as a teenager in the mi d 30s when I first saw and admired a painting byWiliiam Pope Thi s interest was rekindled a few years later when Popes journals were the subject of a Norfol k Historical Society meeting in Simcoe The journals follOW Popes activities in his native England through the Americas and finally to the Long Point country in Southern Ontario where he finally settled down to farming hunting and painting near Port Ryerse some four miles south and w est of Port Dover William Pope contr ibuted a great deal to our local heritage says Harry

Both Harry and his wife Hellen are fifth -generation Canadians who openly demonstrate their appreCiation of the efforts of Canadas pioneers Theyve raised five children on their farm nort h of Port Dover Harry and Hellen now live in his greatshygrandfathers home along the creek in Port Dover among many examples of early Canadian craftsmanshi p

Two of their children have followed Harrys footsteps to Guelph to graduate from University Toby Well 68 and Barbara Arts 71 Their father was one of those notorious OAC boys who still grins about disembowelling a heifer on the M cMaster Campus but wont go into detail about an airplane escapade on campus whi ch made him wonder if hed graduate with the class of

Accompanied by his wife Hellen Harry Barrett OAC 49 (centre ) presented a copy of h is recenlly published book on William Pope Canadas first artistshynaturalist to OA Cs Dean Clay Switzer

49 He did of course with honours and posed with his two eldest children for the graduation photo

Harry continued to manage the family farm for several years th en began teaching agriculture and science at H agersville High School He later became head of the Agricultu re Department of the Simcoe Composite School and in 1969 w as invitedto head the fa rm management programme for Fanshawe Communit y College in Norfol k He now heads the Norfolk Sc hool of A gr iculture part of Fanshawe

During all t hese years H arry has never missed the ch ance to learn more abo ut William Pope Wh il e enrolled at the Ontario College of Educati o n in Toronto he sought out the collection of Pope paintings which is housed In t he Central Public Librar y Hes tak en family members on excursions t o England parts of the United St ates and western Canada to find descendants of Pope and locate his intriguing journals Harry believes th ere are di aries from Pope s later years th at are still undiscovered

The 19th Century Journals and Paintings of William Pope co ntai ns a biographical sketch of Wiliam Pope a section relating to his activities as a gentleman farmer lt nd a third section dealing with Pope the hunter-naturalist It also includes 36 fourshycolour plates of paintings with commentary and introduction by J Fen wick Lansdowne one of todays best known arti st -naturalists

Like Pope Harry has a love of the outdoors and a keen interest in wildlife H e calls himself a practical naturalist who observes nature with a camera Pope used a paint brush and a gun He hunted an d fi shed for the sport of i t says Harry with an underlying scientific approach There were no field guides or field gl as ses in Popes day so he had to shoot i t to have a good look at it

Pope w ould doubtless approve of Harrys Involvement with the Federation of Ontario Naturalists He is a Past President of The Norfolk Histori cal Society The Norfolk Field Naturalists and The Hamilton B ranch of the Ontario Institute of Agrol oglsts He also holds membership in The Soil Conservation Society of America The Long Point Bi rd Observatory The Architectural Conservancy for Ontario and Heritage Canada

This listing demonstrates Harrys keen in terest in nature an d perhaps explains why a farm boy from Port Dover wr ote a book about William Pope Harry is presently busy at the urging of another publisher putting together a pictor ial history of Long POI nt on Lake Erie 0

Yes Incredible by Mary Cocivera I f you bal kat $1 59 a pou nd asparag us and are

weary of the sl ick prepackaged greenery in the supermarke t produce ais le take heartl Util izing foodstuffs th at grow w i Id can stretch your grocery bud get provide good nutrition and refresh a tired palate Rather than the standard iceberg lettuce you could toss dock sheph erd s pu rse watercress dandelion or mustard greens into the salad bowl Not only is the price ri gh t but you r zestful tossed salad is fresher by days than its supermarket coun terpart and longe r on nutrition Dock for instance is reported to be

higtler In Vitamin C than citrus juice and richer in Vitamin A than carrots

Salads potherbs starches fruits berries and nuts from nature are all w ithin reach of even the most urbanized Canad ian With encouragement from an expert a field guide to plants and some recipe suggestions you re on your way to uniq ue and deli ghtful eating experi ences

I asked Alyson Knap an hi stologist In the Universitys Department of Hort icu ltu ral Science to share some of her expertise on ed ib le wi ld plants A life-lo ng outdoors woma n trained botanist and experienced collector and user of wi Id plants she has both the kn ow ledge and enthusias m to help you get star ted Her recently published book Wild Harvest An Outdoorsman s Guide to Ed ible Wifd Plants in North America helps wi ld harvesters find and identify wild edibles then gUides them in preparing preserv ing and savouring their treas ures

Alyson and her husband Jerry lead an active ou td oors life and collect ing and utili zing wild plants is a natural part of this ou tdoo r lifestyle

On wi lderness camping and canoe trips wild edibl es are more than a p leasant diversion T hey can form an essent ial pa rt of th e d iet an d e liminate pounds o f food in the backpack

Cam p ing and at home Alyson regu larly serves foods from the wild She says her guests se ldom know what to expect and has had so many weird reac t ions to her w il d ed ible creations that she doesnt announce ttle Identity of foods until after the pla tes have been scraped clean She likes serving wi ld edibles especia l ly with fish an d game because one co mp lements th e oth er They create a complete outdoors meal

Such a wi ld gou rmet meal cou ld include sorr I soup ve n ison ch ops arrowhead tubers in c ream sauce a burdock and lam bs-quarters (a most co mmon wi ld pl ant) salad and a delec tab le winterg ree n

berry pie For beverages the wild harvester could offer rose hip tea dandelion wine and top o ff the evening with e lderberry cord ial

A fledgling wild harvester w ill be astounded at the availability of wil d foods and the myriad possibilities they present in the kitchen The living room adventurer could find a luscious spring salad lurking in the backyard Each rainfall brings on a new c rop o f dandelions which are best harvested you ng when the leaves are soft and succulent C loser inspec tion of the back 40 might turn up chickweed sow thi stle and plantain all of which make delightful salads No self-respecting garde ner would praise these weed s but a wild harvester holds them in high esteem

The lowly dandelion in fact is a versatile littl e masterpiece o f nature (and so prolific) its greens go into the salad the flowers make a heady flavourful wine and the rootsshyroasted and ground-make a palatable ca ffeine-free coffee substitute Perhaps skyshyrocketing coffee prices will foc us interes t on the ubiquitous dandel ion

After introducing your tastebuds to the lusty flavours of you r ow n backyard you could head for the nearest field for such delicacies as milkweed pokeweed goatsbeard or bull thistle A cold fast running stream may offer a harvest o f watercress-a delicacy in any cuisine A day in the woods or near a pond could net you some tasty ca ttail rootstocks or water lily seeds to delight the kids at a campfire popcorn session

Spring and fall present the best selection In the sprin g young greens and shoots are in abundance I n the fa ll its a race to beat the birds and squ irrels to the berries apples plums nuts inc luding acorns w hich when dried can be used in any dish callin g for nuts

Alyson strongly urges the novice to take a good field gUide along to pOSitively identify plants Even experience d outdoorsmen rely on fi eld guides when harvesting in unfamiliar

territory A lyso n issues some stern cautionary words about pl ants to avoid such as spurge nightshade jimson weed and water hemlock among others

She has neve r suffered any adverse reactions from w ild plants or mushrooms but A lyso n notes that people have very different reactions to food of any so rt Wh en trying something new she always tries sma ll quantities and someone in the crowd doesnt eat so he or she can take c harge of the hosp ital run if necessary

Another ground rule for would-be harvesters is to exercise temperan ce and prudence Overharvesting w ill damage our plant resources warns Alyson and well all lose in the long run

Many people will be discouraged from trying edible wild plants because of the tim e required to ga ther clean and prepare them Frozen corn is infinitely more convenient A lyson feelS that th e var iety and distinct flavours of wild foods more th an justify th e effort in vo lved She confesses that nuts are her favorites As w ith w ild fruits they a re a lot of trouble but th ey have ever so much m ore flavour

City dwellers are becoming more in terested in nature and the rural countryside from whi ch theyve become so isolated Many city dwellers orchestrate frequent escapes into th e country to balance their psyches Collecti ng wild edib les ca n playa satisfying role In this therapeutic exe rc ise Can you imagine a more re laxing afternoon than joining the birds and squirrels in gathering fa llen beechnuts You savour clea n cou ntry smells gentle count ry noises and settle into a relaxed coun try pace That you br ing home a tasty harvest of nuts is a sheer bon usl

He came from o ter space By Mary Cocivera

Or Donald Nelson

One would not expect a doctor who has been deeply involved in the glamour of space medicine to find much satisfaction in student acne but two minutes conversation with Dr Donald Nelson Director of the University Medical Services reveals that for all his interest in the gadgetry of space his real concern is always with people

I bel ieve we have a real speci alty in the making here - adolescent medicine Young people experience the same ailments as their elders but they react to them di ffe rently Most of our 17 to 24 year-olds have left the protective environment of their homes for a whole new environment with new freedoms new constraints and new pressures Ex ms on th e one hand and mating on the other produce stresses which vary with every individual so that whatever problems they bring to us treatment must always be related to the whole person rather than just the conditions he explains

These are the twin themes which run through much of Dr Nelsons philosophy shythe interaction of man and his environment and the fact that what appear to be new problems are often old problems in modern dress

As an example of this he quotes research carried out by his old associate Dr W R Franks During the early part of World War II pilots would black out at the bottom of a power dive resulting from an intensification of gravitational forces which reduced blood supply to the pilots brain Dr Franks w orked with Dr Banting in Toronto to develo p a water-filled suit which developed pressure on the lower limbs during a power dive and increased the blood supply to the head The result was a critical advantage to allied airmen during the early air battles

But the problems of gravity far from being solved reappeared all over again in space in the transition from multiple gravities during blast-off to ultimate weightlessness

Aerospace and adolescent medicine therefore have certain parallels in that the emphasis in both instances is on the effect of a highly specialized environment on relatively orthodox problems

The manenvi ronment problem in aerospace tends to narrow down to a manmachine problem The engineers can build anything but man does not necessarily adapt well to it The doctor becomes a member of the design team to ensure that man and machine are not in conflict and stresses and demands can be met This involves everything from such simple matters as to where and how the operator should sit in relation to control panels to the impact of emotional stress The entire physiological system has to be considered in relation to the en tire task Dr Nelson explains

Dr Nelson who has been president of the Aerospace Medical Association and intimately invo lved with most of the astronauts whose names have since become household words maintains up- to-date contacts with colleagues both here and behind the iron curtain He still recei ves and acce pts invitations from NASA to visit Houston where the next stage of space exploration is being planned

When Dr Nelson came to the University in 1970 he found a medical centre with 12 beds and a staff of two nurses Today in addition to a number of part-time doctors and nurses his staff comprises two full-tim e doctors five qualified nurses and a health inspector The centre operates a very active out-patient department where up to 150 people come every day wi th every co nceivable type of ailment Most o f them can be dealt with in the centre which can offer virtuall y every service short of major surgery The department also works with University employees parti cularly in the area of accident prevention and conducts a prog ram of health education for everyone

I think we have a lot of good educated and highl y motivated young people here says Dr Nelson They are responsibl e about sex and if there are drugs on campus they are by no m ans abused Students can be reck less at times about their diets and w ill subsist on coke and potato chips but on the whole they have a strong feeling of responsibilit y for their own bodies It is our job to help them achieve their goals and to that end we are fortu nate in th at they seem to level with us Th ey seem to be able to con fide in us without fear of criticism and are secure in the conf identiality of the consultation he says

The probability is that student confidence has to be earned and the fact that it exists is a tribu te to the whole department 0

Photography was not an exclus ive ma le stronghold Many women ran studios of their own or worked in collaboration with their husbands As early as 1841 aM rs F letcher of Montreal advertised herself as a teacher and professor of the photographic art A Miss Lockwood took over her father s studio located on Sparks Street in Ottaw~ in the mid-1850 s and produced high quality photographs many of which remain today

The Connons of Elora were unquestionably two of the most fascinating personalities in Canada West Tom Connon settled in Elora in the mid 1850s and opened a photography studio by 1860 His photographs record much of the early development o f Elora and Fergus and the Elora Gorge Tom Connons letters to an aunt in England published by the Universit y of Western Ontario provide one of the most comprehensive and detailed descriptions of life and travel in Canada West

John Connon following in his fath er s footsteps was a dynamo He started tak ing photographs at five years old wrote a history of Elora and invented the panoramiC view camera and the vacuum slide shut ter patented in 1890 John Connon developed a type of film roll for negative paper

The Connons played a major role in local history Their photographs tell us much about the local people towns and the E lora Gorge Their photography was superior by anyones standardS says Charlie A nd he should know he has about 2000Connon photos 0

Alumni invade Arboretum The sound of rain on the roof generally generates nostalgic thoughts but the steady drumming that awakened Green Thumb Day organizers during the wee hours of May 29 must have been greeted with many and varied groans

However what started out as a dismal du ll and dreary day became a glorious mixture of summer breezes and sunshine by noon and following an in-Arboretum Centre picnic the 150 alumn i youngsters and friends who attended the Arboretum- based function shed their rainwear and set off to wander along nature trails with naturalist guides to ride hay wagons on guided tours of the Arboretums acres or to orienteer

Dear Mr Editor Enclosed find your requested return giving the date of receipt of the Winter edition of the Guelph Alumnus (Delivery time to Austria 25 days)

Your Calendar issue is something you can be proud of I thought last year that beginn ing the months by March was a bright idea so was a little disappointed to receive the conventIOnal type thiS year However the pictures and information items are m uch appreciated

I hope your Letters to the Editor column thrives and that m ore of the older graduates take time to write to you Of cOurse a University paper is bound to concentrate on recent campus life but the old Colleges are st ill part of It

Sincerely yours Robert J McPherson OAC 31 A-4072 Alkoven 113-A Austna

Youve just set a distance record fo r lett ers to thi s column Ro ben Th anks Your hope is my hope too -so come on alum ni lets hear from you Ed

Dear Mr Wing About eight months ago I resolved to write a short piece about Hugh Branion and what he had done for Guelph in the hope that he would be able to read it and enioy it But procrastination won the day

Hugh was surely one of the most devoted of the adopted sons of Guelph He was also a graduate of Trinity College at Varsity and he wore the traditional gown while lecturing I

first met him in 1930 when he and I were beginning graduate students in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto Medical School and I soon became friends with him and Jean Young was among the guests at their charming wedding ceremony in 1931 at Hart House Chapel when the organ was played by the late Professor Arthur Wynne of Biochemistry

Hughs association with the Ontario Agricultural College started in 1930 when he was a graduate student at Toronto and the link came about through the customary farsightedness of Professor W R Graham Hugh and Jean moved to Guelph soon after he received his Ph D in Biochemistry in 1933 He was Associate Editor of Poultry Science from 1936 to 1940 and assumed the Chief editorship in 1949 in which capacity he served for 28 years

He advanced rapidly in his chosen field and became professor and head of the newly established Department of Nutrit ion at OA C in 1938 His academic career was interrupted by his distinguished service as a nutrition officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force (1940shy1944) and in 1944 he served in En gland and on the Continent as Second-in-Command of the RCAF Mobile Nutntion Laboratories Overseas

In 1945 he was detached to the SHAEFshyG5 MiSSion to the NetherlandS during which time he had the unique and unforgettable experience of participating In the libera tion of Hitter s surviving vict ims from the infamous extermination camp at Belsen He was made an Officer of the Oranie-Nassau wi th Crossed Swords by Queen Wilhelmina for h is service in the rehabilita tion Of the Dutch peOpfe Followin g his return to Guelph Hugh became Cha irman of Gradua te Studies from 1958 to 1964 Dean o f Gradua te Studies 1964 to 1968 and then Assistant to the Presiden t University of Guelp h startin g i n 1968

Hugh had m any academic and pro fess ional recognitions and honors among which were Ilis service to rhe Ca nadia n Biochemica l Society as Secretary from 1959 to 1968 and his election to Presidency aihe Poultry SCience Association In 1964

Or Hugh D Braman

Hugh was a man of the strongest and most sustained loyalty He was devoted to his fam ily his country to Guelph and to humanity He was famous for an ever-present sense of humor and iocularity th at served to temper in some degree the seriousness of his purpose and his idealism Above all Hugh was fond of people and of conviviality a great mixer and always one of the gang He and Jean were known fa r and wide as an Inseparabl and devoted couple He IS survived by her and th e two sons

Hugh s best memorial is the las ting memories he has le lt w i th the faculty students and alum m of the Unive rsit y of Guelph for whos e interest he strived so long and well

For some who att ended A lumni Night at the Races at th e Mohawk Raceway it was a brandshynewexpen ence

For oth ers it was a chance to cut past losses or reduce past gai ns - but for all 180 who attended the affai r it was a very enjoyable night out from the openi ng stable tour through a delectable di nner in the CI ub House to the fini sh of the last race

Picki ng winners can be done in many ways some scientifi c - some not so 0 ne of the not so sc ientific met hods em played by hopeful duo John Wiley and Jim Wilcox both OAC 58 back fired somewhat Testing Lady Luck to the limit they selected t he num bers of their graduation year five and eight as the appropriate nag num bers to win the first two races

Said two nags must have somehow got wind of the idea and in a disgusting display of super spite proceeded to break stride on the backstretch in the openin g seconds of both races - and finished last

John and Jim w ere last seen t earing t ickets and mumbling somethi ng about there must be a better way

However their track record was no t standard among the other 178 racegoers whose w ild w hoops heard throughou t the evening indi cated a certain am ount of success 0
