Abstract
Each year since 1938 at its Annual Meeting the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association has chosen an outstanding physician to receive its Distinguished Service medal. The Board of Trustees submits three names to the House, and the final selection is made from these. This year in Atlantic City Dr. Donald C. Balfour of Rochester, Minn., was chosen for his contribution to the field of general surgery. Because Dr. Balfour was unable to be pre sent at the meeting to receive the award in person, the gold Distinguished Service medal was accepted for him by his son, Dr. William Balfour, also of Rochester.
Dr. Balfour was born on August 22, 1882, in Toronto, Canada, and received the M.B. degree from the University of Toronto in 1906 and his M.D. from the same university in 1914. He began the practice of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in 1907 and

Balfour Lecturers
The Balfour Lecture was established in 2015 following a generous donation from the Balfour family and is named in the memory of Donald Church Balfour (1882-1963). Dr. Balfour was born in Toronto, grew up in Hamilton, and obtained his BA and MD from the University of Toronto. He then went to the Mayo Clinic establishing his reputation there from 1909 – 1947. He designed the Balfour abdominal retractor, in addition to other items to equip an operating room in general surgery.

In 1939 an amateur radio station was erected on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition to publicize the hobby. The call was VE9CNE. The usual low frequency gear was set up on the grounds and messages were accepted for transmission from visitors to the Exhibition to their friends and relatives in Canada and the United States. Harry Lang, VE3ADO, President of the Wireless Association of Toronto at that time, and a UHF enthusiast, thought it would be a good idea to have a five meter mobile unit around the grounds, and a base in one of the buildings, receiving and putting the reception over a loud speaker. The visitors would then become more interested in the project. This teas easily accomplished. The reception from St. Catharines, Hamilton and Buffalo, to the fixed station and to the mobile, was beyond expectation. The results were most gratifying; especially working a mobile from the CNE. The demonstration of amateur radio to the public was a definite success, but the joy of this accomplishment was bitter-sweet. On September 3, 1939. the Declaration of War between Great Britain and Germany put an end to all amateur activity. At 1815 EDST, on September 3, 1939, VE3ADO and VE3TW pulled the Big Switch, and VE9CNE was off the air. This was a sad day for hams all across Canada for the government of our country' had also declared war. A call was broadcast for volunteers amongst radio amateurs to join the armed services in aid of their country. Hams by the hundreds offered their knowledge and skills in all branches of Government forces. Others volunteered for special civilian duties. Thus they justified the faith and trust our country had bestowed on them. And so, over this land, amateur radio was stilled for the duration of the war.
