Titanic Disaster Recalled By Telegrapher’s Retirement

HALIFAX —— One of the first men to learn of the tragedy of the liner Titanic, sliced open by an iceberg in the Atlantic in April, 1912, ended Friday a car- eer in communications that Spanned 48 years.

John H. Trapnell. Canadian National Telegraphs manager at Halifax since 1934, started a month’s vacation today which ushers in his actual retirement. His service record goes back to 1916, when he entered the em- ploy of the Western Union Tele- graph Co., taken ,over by ONT July 1_ 1929..

But by 1916 Mr. Trapnell had gained six years of experience in wireless and cable opera- tions. A native of Newfound- land, born at Harbor Grace in 1894, he was 16 when he found a job as a student with the Anglo-AAmerican Cable Co. at Heart’s Content, Nild., in 1910.

Mr. ’Drapnell was on duty two years later on April 14 when a Cape Race station passed on an unconfirmed report that the luxurious Titanic, hailed as un- sinkable and its passenger list gilded with the names of many notables of the time, had. been ripped by an iceberg and was going down.

A HOAX

“We were working Cape Race through St. John’s at the time”, Mr. Trapnell recalled in an interview yesterday. “The Cape Race message alerted us. But we though it was a hoax of some kind. The had a reputa- tion as being unsinkable. .

“More messages began com- ing in and, when we put them together,. we were the first’shore station to know the whole truth, I should say. It was from Heart’s Content that the news spread officially to the world. As I re- member, almost 1,600 of 2,300 on board lost their lives. More than 500 bodies were brought into Halifax.” '

When the First World War erupted in 1914, Anglo-American Cable was taken over by the Admiralty in London and its employees classed as already enlisted. Unwilling to fight the war at Heart’s Content. Mr. Trapnell quit and volunteered for service with a Newfound- land regiment. Hc was prompt- 1y rejected, on the grounds his duty-was with the wireless and cable service. ’

Miffed at the Admiralty, Mr. Trapnell went to Massachusetts, to lend-lease his knowledge to the French Cable Co., with headquarters on Cape Cod. But before long he returned to Canada and became a Western Union operator at North Sydney in 1916.

During the next four years he was shuffled from Bay Roberts and Heart’s Content in New- foundland, back to North Syd- ney and, once again, back to Heart’s Content. From that post he went to New York and Miami on special aSSIgnm' ents for Western Union untfl 1920, when he was again stationed in North Sydney.

‘Mr. Trapnell remained there

that time for nine'years‘ , until

Western Union was absorbed by Canadian National ,Telegraphs, With CNT he worked in Mont- real and Saint John, N.B., mov- ing from the latter city to Mone- ton, N.B., as commercial repre-

sentative in 1931. ' RELIEF MANAGER

Two years later he was pro— moted to relief manager at Hall- fax and named permanent man- ager in 1934.

Mr. Trapnell was married to the former Georgina McIver at North Sydney in 1923. They have two sons, Donald. 27, and John Poss Trapnell, 20, both of Hali- ax.

Active in various phases of Halifax life. Mr. Trapnell is a former vice-president and direc- tor of the Rotary Club, which he joined in 1934. Member of the Waegwoltic Club for the same length of time, he now is its president. He is an elder of St. Andrew’s United Church and in 1946 was president of the Sir Charles Topper Home and School Association.

“It has been a very interest- ing life”, Mr. Trapnell says of his career. “There have been lots of good features about it andmuchtobesaidinits favor. I travelled a lot and made many friends. And I still have many community interests, not including my favorite sports of hunting and sailing. ’

“I’ll be'retired . . . but I’ll keep busy."

Late Friday afternoon, in the CNT’s offices on Barrington st, Mr. Trapnell was presented a gift from his associates, ac- companied by best wishes for the future. Monoton headquar- ters was represented by R. L. Locum, commercial supervisor, who in turn represented H. A. Marquis, Atlantic district superintendent.

TIMELY NOTES OH Hill TOPICS

Ed Gold, one of the leading conunenta-tors in the United Sta- tes on furs, has an article in a recent issue of Women’s Wear Daily entitled: “Speaking Out In Furtown" which is worth read- ing. Here is Ed:

“'Ilhe Amenican mink rancher is committing suicide by not holding the line on production, and by placing too many com- mercial skins on the market. ‘If he doesn’t start concentrating on improvement of quality and color, he may the item,’ contends Leo Ritter of Bitter Bros. fur couturier.

“ ‘Tlhe mink ranching associa~ ‘tions,’ Mr. Rittcr is quick to add, ‘havc done a great ion in promoting their product, not just in the States, but on an inter- national scale.’ ‘But overproduc- tion,’ he argues, can kill the ‘only big item we have today, and there is nothing to take its place.’

QUALITY BASIC ’

“The production crisis, Mr. Rit— ter feels, must be faced in at least two ways. ‘An attempt must be made, in cooperation with the Scandanavians, to-limit pro- duction. The trend toward mom and more commercial merchan- dise must be halted and reversed in favor of greater efforts on quality production.’ He contends that the most conspicuous qual- ity decline was in the gun metal types. -

“If these basic steps are not taken, Mr. Bitter fears a repe- tition of the crisis in the 1930's, when overproduction caused a sha-np.decline in the fox market, and eventually destroyed the Am- erican fox industry.

“ ‘Furthemnore,’ Mr. Hitter pointed out, ‘hhe American ran- cher is going to face tremendous competition on commercial mink from new sources, indIl-uding Ja- pan, England, France, Angentina, not to mention continued expan' sion in Scandanavia.‘

“ I ‘Do you realize,’ MIr. ‘Rit- ter notes, “that world production of mink is today already larger than the world production of

oral marketing suggestions that, he contends, would benefit the en- ligbted elements in the industry. In addithm, he suggests that the wholesale and retail segments of the industry could assist in im- proving their status in terms of quality, integrity and coopera— tion.

MATCHING

On marketing, be urges better matching of bundles, more time allowed for examination of goods, and the elimination of 10 and 12 skin bundles. He urges, too, that ranchers cooperate in building up other furs; they should be in- dustrynninded, because when one segment suffers, eventually all will suffer.

“To manufacturers. he says: ‘Stop double-crossing one anoth- er. We'me in the nation’s oldest business, but people in it don’t measure up in terms of pres- tige.’ To retailers, he says:— ‘stores,have largely forgotten the meaning of quality. Now they think mostly in terms of price and quick turnover. A for depart- ment should lend dignity to an entire store’."

In case our mink ranchers are inclined to be pessimistic after reading the above, let us turn the other side of the picture, and see the very latest report. Rich- mond, Virginia, showed a 06 per- cent increase in for sales for May, as against the similar month last year. This report is issued by the Federal Reserve Board, from reports received by it from various cities in the United States.

We have just received the July issue of “The Fur Trade Jour- nal of Canada" to which we have been a subscriber since it was first issued 35 years ago. We want to heartily co gnatulate edi- tor and publisher, obert G. Hod- gson, for keeping up the stand- ard of the Journal, and, improv- ing it as the years have gone by.

We recommend that all fur ranchers avail themselves of the information provided by it, as it not only publishes articles by ex- perienced ranchers, but also ex- perts in biological chemistry and nutrition.
