Bradford Witness"Ontario's Lieutenant-Governor Earl Rowe, who has been very gracious in attending functions in this, his home area, was unable to be present at the official opening of Bradford's new federal building last week and sent an expression of regret for his inability to attend.
Mr. Rowe and his family have been experiencing a trying ordeal because of the serious illness of his son, William E. Rowe, in Toronto General Hospital. "Bill," as he is familiarly known by his friend locally, underwent another operation on Monday of this week, when it is believed the remaining pressure on his brain was successfully removed. Though his condition is still critical, he came through the operation in as good condition as could be expected, and the operation gives hope for a good recovery."
