* * * * * =Roadhouse, William Albert=, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for the Province of Ontario, was born at Malton, Peel County, Ontario, July 25, 1880, the son of Neriah and Elizabeth Roadhouse. He was educated at the Malton and Brampton public schools and on leaving school became—what so many men afterwards famous in many fields of activity have been—“A printer’s devil” in the office of the Brampton “Conservator,” where he spent six years under Samuel Charters, now member of the House of Commons for Peel. While working in the printing department he also wrote local items and on leaving the “Conservator,” took up newspaper work, joining the staff of the “Evening Telegram” in 1902. While with that paper he represented it in the Legislative Press Gallery. Subsequently he spent a year in London, England, as correspondent of the Canadian Associated Press, “covering” the general election in Britain in 1905-6 for the Canadian papers. On his return to Canada he rejoined the “Evening Telegram” staff and continued as a member of it till June 1, 1909, when he was appointed Secretary to the Minister and Department of Agriculture. During the same year he served as Secretary to the Ontario Government Milk Commission. On the retirement of the late C. C. James, LL.D., from the position of Deputy Minister, March 1, 1912, Mr. Roadhouse was promoted to his present position—being probably the youngest man ever appointed a Deputy Minister in the Province of Ontario. He has made many addresses and contributed numerous articles to the press on the subjects with which he is specially familiar. He married, July 3, 1912, Lillian Maud Wyndow, daughter of Wm. Wyndow, Toronto. He is a Protestant and a member of the A.F. & A.M. In his dealings with the public, Mr. Roadhouse is extremely courteous while in the conduct of his department, his guiding idea seems to be clear cut thinking and practical action. His address is Parliament Bldgs., Toronto. * * * * *
