Whoever thinks history is a dry, dead, subject â€" best left buried in the far, dim past â€" should talk for a while with Mr. John Lunn, museologist and ar- chaeologist at the Royal Ontario Museum, who lives on Vaughan Road, just west of Richmond Hill.

In 1952 John Lunn was appoint- ed the director of the Verulamium Museum, the site of one of the greatest Roman cities in Britain, which lay hushed and silent and buried «for more than a thousand years before archaeologists began excavating and uncovering anoth- er link with past history. And it was in 1955 that Mr. Lunn be- came Director of Museums, City of'St. Alban, when he was also appointed director of Hertford~ shire County Museum. SAVE Among those films are “Cana- da’s Government", “Canada’s Freedom" and "The History of Canada's Confederation”. On com- pletion of this branch of educa- tional research, Mr. Lunn was then appointed to his present pos- ition with the Royal Ontario Mu- seum at Toronto; and is now busy sorting out, cataloguing and la- belling the marvellous collection of man’s pre-historic artifacts col- lected half a century ago by the late C. T. Currelly which have been stored away in the archae- ological workroom until the at- rival of this new enthusiast, John Lunn. ‘Why did you choose Richmond Hill”, we asked Mr. Lunn and his charming wife as we sat in the south-viewâ€"over-Don Head farms living-room of their white frame house. ‘Because of its location”, the Lunns said. “We want to become Canadians â€" our children will be educated here (the two eldest, Simon 10 and Carlton aged 8 at- tend Patterson Public School; Judith 5, Timothy 3 and Gerard aged 1 play happily in the coun- try grounds surrounding their home on the hill) - and we think this part of Canada has the greatest future." His wife concurred with his decision and together they stud- ied the map of Canada, finally de- ciding on Richmond Hill. Ontario, as the territory they would set- tle down in. But first they made a trip to Regina, then Went to Ottawa where Mr. Lunn worked for eight months as a film direc- tor, making educational film strips. Mr. Lunn says he came to Can- ada with his wife, and three of their five children (two were born after they moved to Richmond Hill), because he trained in west- ern Canada during the Second World War and - like so many other members of the army, navy, and airforce, from overseas â€" he fell in love with the country and its people. Following his marriage after the war he decided this was where he would bring his growing family. ‘or the re-dlscovered implements or war-arms of an African nation dead hundreds of years â€" as i! talking of someone or some per- sons he has visited personally just before you arrived on the scene. However, as a naturalist (Mr. Lunn is vice-president of the Richmond Hill Naturallsts’ Club) he says, “I am a little disturbed in the way so many of the beauti- ful spots around Toronto are be- ing eaten up by subdivisions. There should be more do e to conserve. It's a tragedy rea ly to see such beautiful houses and farms done away with in the path of progress." And thus speaks the man John Lunn, who, like so many Britons has come to these shores and fall- en deeply in love with this ma- jestic and beautiful country of ours . . . and who would protect that majesty and beauty for fu- ture generations . . . even as he, in his museum work, seeks to “preserve the past for the future.” TRY LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS PHONE TU. 4-1105 15â€"denier, seamless.
