THE REVIEW

Well Known Sidney Barrister Retires

A 21-year-old law practice
has recently ended for Major
S.S. Penny.

Penny, who serviced. in
France and Belgium in World
War I, retired last month after
being a familiar legal: figure
around Sidney since 1955.

A former trustee of school
district 61 and some time
president of the Sidney Rotary
Club, Penny, at 78, is going to

enjoy a well-deserved
retirement.

“Por the future it is my
intention to participate in

some useful community service | '

withs time out to keep fit,
eycling, golf and fishing and to

catch up with my reading,” he
said.

Penny now lives with his
wife, Aileen, at 2050 White
Birch Road and has raised two
daughters, both of whom are
married and live in Vancouver.

Besides being a successful
lawyer, Penny enjoyed a
distinguished military career.

In August, 1915, at the age
of 17, Penny enlisted at Swift
Current, Saskatchewan in the

Se y
Major S.S. Penny

53rd__—s Ba.talion, C.E.F.
Following a period of training
at Camp Hughes, Manitoba
and wintering in Winnipeg, the
Battallion proceeded overseas
in April, 1916.

_Upon arriving in England,
the battallion was used to
reinforce units of the 8th
Brigade, 3rd Divison, and

Penny became part of the 2nd
Canadian Mounted Rifles.

Returning to Canada in

March, 1919, Penny soon
moved to Vancouver to study
law. After studying French and
Latin, two subjects he was
lacking which he needed for his
qualification, he passed his
Law Society exam.
’ The next step was articling,
and Penny read law in the
chambers of the late Hon. Ian.
A. Mackenzie, the Hon. Mr.
Justice H.1. Bird and His
Honour the late Judge Bruce
Boyd.

Penny then opened a law
office in Vancouver where he
practiced until 1941].

Betwen the two wars, and at
the suggestion of the late

| Brigadier W.W. Foster, Penny

took an active interest in the
Reserve Army and, in par-
ticular, the British Columbia
Regiment.

Early in 1942, he was of-
fered the appointment of
Deputy Assistant Adjutant
General stationed at Pacific
Command headquarters.

Penny continued in that ap-
pointment until he was
discharged in 1947.

At that time he moved to
Victoria and opened a law
office specializing in family
and commicrical law. His
Sidney office, which he opened
in 1955, was a branch office.

Although the two offices
kept him ‘‘very busy,’’ Penny
said he was able to look after
them alone.

Although it is less con-
venient to practice law in
Sidney because the courthouse
and land registry are located in
Victoria, Penny stated it was
“just a matter of organizing
your time.’”’

Looking forward
retirement, Penny said he still
intends to keep active now that
he has turned his practice over
to the Sidney law firm of
Henley-Robertson.

He will still contine to offer
his services “if I am called
upon,”’ proving that,  for-
tunately, we haven’t seen the
last of Major S.S. Penny.

It was gratifying news to the
people of this district to know
that the plant of the Canada
Potash and Algin Company
was in full swing.

MacDonald Fahey, manager
of the company spent a great
deal of time overseeing the
finishing touches to.the in
stallation of the plant which
manufactured large quantities.
of kelp into a variety of
products.

Word was received by Mrs.
Gehrke, from a hospital in
Venture, California, informing
her that her son; Albert, had
been brought there un-
conscious from a severe attack
of typhoid fever.

Mrs. Gehrke was told that
Albert had taken a change for
the better and was, by then,
out of danger.
