The November Meeting was a most enjoyable one for those present. Member W. P. Dunphy of Guelph presented a comprehensive history of the development of sailing vessels, illustrated with his own drawings. We were unable to hear all of Mr. Dunphy's comments due to time limitations, but we hope that he will come back again to carry his account further.

Once again, we wish to express our appreciation to all who have continued their support of T.M.H.S. by renewing their membership. Postage and printing costs prohibit the sending of individual billings and we thank those who responded to our front-page renewal reminders.

In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to Robert Peterson of Peterson Builders Inc., Sturgeon Bay, to Lloyd G. Baxter of Don Mills, to John A. MacLean of Richmond Hill, to Michael Brandon of Calgary, Alberta, to David Powell of Pender Island, B.C., and to Walter Gonyou, president of Canadian Maritime Union Local 401, Port Colborne.
