Max CARSON, Doctor And Pilot (1923-2005)
The sole survivor of a mid-air collision by two Halifax bombers became a family physician who delivered 2,000 babies
By F.F. LANGAN, Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, December 10, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- Pilot Max CARSON was the only survivor of a crash of two bombers over Belgium in the winter of 1944. The man who later went on to become a doctor was just 21 at the time. He was flying an Royal Canadian Air Force Halifax when it collided with an Royal Air Force Halifax during a night raid on Duisberg, Germany.
The flight had been his 35th mission, after which he and his crew were supposed to go home. In his memoirs, Mr. CARSON recalled that one of his crew had a premonition about the last sortie. He was right. It was the night of the collision.
"I had no warning from any of my crew, and I felt this plane crash into ours," wrote Dr. CARSON. His plane caught fire and the floor beneath him gave way. "I fell through the flames clear into the sky. As I looked up, I could see my airplane on fire. I counted to 10, pulled the ripcord and my parachute opened."
He survived because, as the pilot, he was probably one of the few to be wearing his parachute. For the others, the tight space on board meant their parachutes had to be hung on hooks. In a collision, there was no time to put them on. The 14 other men died.
Dr. CARSON almost didn't survive the landing. At the time, his name was KRAKOVSKY, which he changed after the war. He landed among a group of American soldiers who were fighting the Battle of the Bulge, the last major German offensive in Europe. When they heard his name they suspected he was an English-speaking German parachuted in to cause havoc.
By luck, one of the Americans was from Buffalo, and he quizzed the flier from Toronto. They soon realized he was the real thing and he was back at his base in England on December 27, eight days later. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and returned home.
Max CARSON was born in Northern Ontario, the son of Jewish immigrants who later moved to North Bay to join 30 or 40 other Jewish families. His father ran a rooming house, but the Depression meant that tenants were often unable to come up with the 10 cents-a-night rent. So, in 1932, the KRAKOVSKYs packed their belongings into a truck and drove to Toronto.
In his memoir, Max CARSON listed the various places his family had lived in Toronto. On Markham Street, his family of eight shared a house with another family of four. In the basement, he kept a hockey stick and perfected his shot using lumps of coal. He was a die-hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan, and once talked his way into a seat in the reds at a special night for young fans at Maple Leaf Gardens.
Maxie, as he was known, was a whiz at school. In Grade 7, he got 100 per cent in arithmetic "when most of my Friends flunked." He went to high school and technical school, then worked in a series of dead-end jobs. In 1942, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force with his brother, Morris, who became a bomb aimer.
After the war, Dr. CARSON was promised a job by a man who was impressed with his Royal Canadian Air Force exploits. But when the man learned he was Jewish, he changed his mind. Dr. CARSON felt so frustrated that, on June 8, 1945, he and his brother changed their name to CARSON. It cost $75 each.
Max CARSON finished high school at a special postwar school set up for veterans. In September of 1947, he enrolled in medical school at the University of Toronto. After interning, he went into partnership with Sid DAVIS on Parliament Street in Cabbagetown. He practised in that same Toronto neighbourhood for more than 40 years and delivered more than 2,000 babies.
In retirement, he worked on his memoirs, which he wrote because he knew nothing about his own grandparents and wanted his descendants to know some details.
He was active in veterans groups and was always proud of his contribution in bringing the war to an end. "I like to think that maybe I'm the guy that flew the plane that dropped the bomb that broke Hitler's back."
Max CARSON was born in Cobalt, Ontario, on September 15, 1923. He died in Toronto on September 3, 2005. He was 81. He is survived by his wife, Nan, and their five children.

Four die in shooting at London family home
By Timothy APPLEBY, Tuesday, June 28, 2005, Page A7
A quiet residential street in downtown London, Ontario, exploded into violence early yesterday, a melee that ended in a shootout with police and a house fire that left four people dead and four police officers injured.
The house is owned by a long-distance trucker and his wife. Police were summoned by a 911 call placed by one of the family's three young children from a neighbour's house. Local media reported that the couple's nine-year-old daughter placed the call.
When police entered the house, the girl's mother and two siblings and the gunman were dead.
The province's Special Investigations Unit, which examines all deaths and serious injuries involving police, released no names. It was unclear who the gunman was.
Neighbours, however, confirmed that the modest Princess Avenue bungalow was occupied by John CZUBA, his wife and their children. The family emigrated from Poland several years ago, said Andrew KRALKA, who lives directly across the street.
The father was believed by local residents to have been driving through the United States when the family members were killed.
"It's all been a big shock for us; this is very tragic," Mr. KRALKA said.
Alerted at 2: 25 a.m. by the 911 call reporting an assault in progress, police arriving at the household were met by gunfire that struck two of the officers.
Police returned the fire, but authorities would not say whether the gunman, later found dead inside the house from a single gunshot wound, was killed by a police bullet or had committed suicide.
Both wounded officers were shot in the upper body but were wearing body armour, and both were released from hospital yesterday.
The couple also had a 13-year-old daughter and a five-year-old son.
London Police Constable Jeff ARBING would say only the 911 emergency call "came from a child, from a different location," adding that in 15 years of police service, "a homicide of this magnitude is something I haven't personally seen."
Neighbours recounted scenes of chaos. "I heard a quick 'Bang, bang, bang, bang' -- four shots. It sounded like firecrackers accompanied by a whole lot of police sirens," said David STEVENS, who was watching television at his home when the violence erupted across the street.
"Then there was a second series of shots, about five minutes later."
Amid scenes of shouted confusion, nearby residents retreated to their basements for safety.
During the 20-minute confrontation, a fire also broke out at the home, but it was unclear whether it stemmed from smoke grenades that tactical officers threw in, or another source. Two police officers were later treated in hospital for smoke inhalation.
"There was grey smoke just pouring out of the house," Mr. STEVENS said. Other neighbours described seeing police running down the street with children in their arms, carrying them toward waiting ambulances.
Both in their 40s, Mr. and Mrs. CZUBA owned the home and had lived there for several years.
Local residents described the family as courteous but introverted, spending time with other Polish-Canadians instead of their immediate neighbours.
Mr. CZUBA is often away and sometimes parks his rig on the street, Mr. KRALKA said.
"They don't really associate with people on the street," said another neighbour. "When we first moved here the kids were allowed to play with the other kids, but then they weren't, and the kids didn't go out any more.
"It makes me sad."
As to what triggered the violence, "That I'm not sure of," Constable ARBING said.
"That's an honest answer. I don't know what we have here."

Robert ALLEN, Playwright And Producer (1917-2005)
Self-taught playwright who submitted his first manuscript while in the army went on to run the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation drama department in the golden years of both radio and television
By F.F. Langan, Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, September 17, 2005, Page S9
Robert ALLEN ran the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation drama department in the early days of television, putting on some of the most ambitious television ever performed in the country. It was a time when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation had the airwaves all to itself in the 1950s, and when Mr. ALLEN and the network could afford to produce what he considered the best.
"He represents the golden age of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation of the 1950s and '60s," said Eric KOCH, a retired Canadian Broadcasting Corporation producer and executive. "The dramas and opera he produced were far superior to anything done in the United States. There were questions in Parliament about the cost. Nowadays, it would be described as hopelessly elitist."
Mr. KOCH said that under Bob ALLEN, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation produced 17 operas. Since opera had never been done for television, Mr. ALLEN and his producer-director Franz KRAMER had to invent ways to shoot them. There could be no mistakes. Almost all were done before the era of videotape, so the shows were all live broadcasts.
"Now, you would need the resources and organization of D-Day to do an opera for television," said Mr. KOCH. "In Europe, countries join forces just to mount one opera."
Robert ALLEN grew up in Toronto and lived in a house on Winchester, one of the more respectable streets in what then the mixed neighbourhood of Cabbagetown. His father died when he was just 11 and he was brought up by his mother and an aunt. He went to the University of Toronto Schools and then to Trinity College at the University of Toronto, where he graduated with a degree in literature.
After graduation, he worked as an accountant until the Second World War intervened and he was drafted into the army in late 1941. But how did an accountant end up as a giant of Canadian television drama? He was in Halifax, waiting to be sent overseas to the war, and at something of a loose end. By that time, Mr. ALLEN was married and he his wife, Rita, liked to sit about and listen to the radio. It was then that he made his decision.
"At the end of one radio program, Bob was excited and said, 'That's what we're going to do,' " says Rita. " 'Write radio plays.'"
And that is exactly was he did for the rest of his long career. As an exercise, Bob and Rita ALLEN wrote something for Andrew ALLAN, the head of drama at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and sent it off in the mail. Mr. ALLAN liked what he saw and that was the start of a long working relationship.
At the same time, a change had occurred in the army's plans for young Robert ALLEN. It discovered his education. He was pulled out of the overseas contingent and sent to Kingston, Ontario, where he trained in radar and was made an instructor.
Eventually, he did go overseas and stayed on in Germany after the end of the war. He wrote a piece for Reading Magazine in February of 1946 in which he showed empathy for the German civilian population. He described the scene in a Berlin railway station as refugees arrived in late 1945: "They were all exhausted and starved and miserable.... A child only half-alive... a woman in the most terrible picture of despair I've seen.... Even when you see it, it's impossible to believe."
Not long after that, he was sent home to be demobbed among thousands of other young returning servicemen and women. To make ends meet, he worked in a bank but all the while wrote radio plays. Soon, he was in demand as a writer and producer of dramas and landed a full-time job at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
However, in the same way he had confidently embraced radio as a media, he could see a new and glittering shape on the broadcast horizon -- television. While many of his radio colleagues were dismissive of early television shows, he was one of the few Canadian Broadcasting Corporation employees to go out and buy a television set to see for himself what all the fuss was about. His first glimpse of a broadcast had occurred in a store in Vancouver. He stood in front of the showroom window watching a program being beamed across the border from the United States and said, "I can do that."
And he did. In 1952, the year the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation expanded into television, he was asked to be head of television drama. He was soon producing such major series as Festival, which was considered to be one of the finest cultural series ever done in North America. The series produced modern drama by playwrights such as Harold Pinter, as well as ballet and Shakespeare.
Some of the other programs he was closely involved with included Sunshine Sketches, the dramatization of Stephen Leacock's short stories about small town Ontario. The Great Detective, which ran from 1979 to 1982, was the story of a 19th-century detective played by Douglas Campbell. In addition, he also had a part in such ambitious dramatic series as Folio, which in many ways translated radio plays to Fifties television. It was followed by Festival, which ran 60- to 90-minute dramas from 1961-69 and offered more sophisticated productions. Opening Night was a series of 90-minute dramas produced in the early 1970's. One of them, Freedom of the City, dealt with the Londonderry riots in Ulster in 1970.
"Robert ALLEN was a pioneer in the days when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation spent more money on drama than it did on news," said Desmond SMITH, who also worked at Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television when it started. Being a pioneer meant inventing just about every technique now know to television.
It seems everyone who was anyone in the world of theatre and film in Canada worked for Robert ALLEN at one time or another. He even discovered Sean Connery, then 31 years old, to play the title role of Macbeth in 1961, a year before the unknown Scottish actor first played James Bond in Dr. No.
Macbeth was directed by Paul ALMOND, then 30, who went on to a successful career in film. He said it couldn't have been done without "a drama department run by someone like Robert ALLEN."
While Mr. ALLEN loved to mount lavish productions, his accountant's training meant he was careful with a buck, and also a good negotiator. Mr. ALMOND, who got his start at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, liked to tell the story of how Mr. ALLEN, who was an early riser, was fond of waking actors at daybreak -- or worse. One well-known actor told Mr. ALMOND that Mr. ALLEN had awakened him at 6: 30 in the morning "to negotiate my contract. I was so bleary-eyed I didn't know what he was saying. But I wanted the part, so I said yes. Later, over coffee at breakfast, I would say to myself, what have I done? What has he done?"
Mr. ALLEN worked at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for more than 40 years, producing such popular series as Seeing Things, a program starring Louis Del Grande about a newspaper reporter who has visions that help him solve crimes. Mr. ALLEN himself had an extraordinary ability to look at a script and see how it would be translated into television. His colleagues say he nurtured a lot of young talent, and taught many future directors the basics of their craft.
Robert ALLEN was a modest man and never boasted of his accomplishments or angled for awards. He lived a quiet life and his main passion away from work was tennis, which he played at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club near his house. He also had the air of the absentminded artistic type.
"One of the odd things I remember about ALLEN is that he biked everywhere," said Desmond SMITH. "It seemed eccentric at the time. He would ride to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation dressed in a business suit."
His nephew, Jamie WEYMAN, says Mr. ALLEN did indeed drive a car and he loved sporty models -- including one Buick Skylark convertible.
Mr. ALLEN lived in Rosedale, as did the likes of such Canadian Broadcasting Corporation stalwarts as reporter Norman DEPOE and the announcer Max FERGUSON. Now the byword for an up-market city district, Rosedale was then more affordable, since many of its houses had been broken into apartments during a wartime housing shortage. He and his wife lived in the house until his death.
Robert Greer ALLEN was born in Toronto on October 19, 1917. He died of cancer on August 20, 2005. He is survived by his wife, Rita.

Cameron Nelson CLIFFORD
By Heather HORNER and Holly KRAMER, Monday, December 19, 2005, Page A18
Son, brother, husband, father, inspiration. Born December 9, 1955, in Port Colborne, Ontario Died July 27 in Toronto of complications related to spinal cancer, aged 49.
At 6 foot 6, Cameron's height, boundless enthusiasm for life, and sense of humour were his trademarks.
Cameron was the third child and first son of Lois and Gordon CLIFFORD.
Adventurous by nature, Cameron took in as much of the diversity of life as he could. Through work and pleasure, he travelled to England, Europe, Africa, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
In 1988, Cameron married the love of his life, Susan, and had three beautiful children: Katherine, Alexander and Caroline. Cameron's children were his pure joy; his ticket back to childhood. Family life included ski trips, managing Katherine's hockey team, being the leader of Alex's Beavers outdoors youth group, swimming lessons and piano lessons. He also made time to volunteer for the Out of the Cold program to help the homeless and many church activities.
Cameron demonstrated the same level of passion and commitment toward his work. As a member of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Mellon's senior management team, he touched the lives of the firm's 1,400 employees with his dedication, spirit, and energy.
But life suddenly changed on December 7, 2004. Upon awakening that morning, Cameron's leg was tingling and partially numb. Within a matter of days, he found himself completely paralyzed from the chest down. Cameron sought to make the best of a very difficult situation. He transferred to the Lyndhurst Rehabilitation Centre, where he learned to live as a paraplegic. Through regular e-mail bulletins, he communicated with Friends and family about his physical challenges with his wonderful sense of humour.
Cameron travelled to London, Ontario's University Hospital. Here, the puzzle was finally solved, and sadly, the diagnosis couldn't have been more devastating: a rare and aggressive form of spinal cancer. He broke the news to family, Friends, and colleagues, again with his sense of humour. In Cameron's words, "If there's one thing that can put the concerns of being a paraplegic for the rest of your life out of your mind, it's knowing that you have cancer."
Cameron's spirit and courage in the face of life's most difficult challenges inspired a huge rally of support. Former colleagues from Coopers and Lybrand initiated a campaign to raise funds for a wheelchair accessible van. Friends and colleagues at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Mellon purchased thousands of "Live Strong" bracelets in support of cancer research, and sent photos of them wearing their bracelets along with notes of encouragement. As Cameron wrote in one of his letters, the support of family and Friends made "the good days better and the dark days an awful lot brighter."
Cameron took every opportunity to raise people's awareness of the challenges of being a paraplegic. In June, only a few weeks before he died, Cameron and his family participated in Rick Hansen's Wheels in Motion campaign, where he was the top fundraiser in Canada. Meeting Rick Hansen at that event was one of the highlights of Cameron's life.
In a memorial celebration of his life on August 2, we remembered his unique ability to lift people's spirits and how he taught us to live strong each day and enjoy life to the fullest. Throughout his life and especially during his illness, he always found the silver lining in every cloud. He was ever mindful of the needs of others, and, through his example, he taught us to look for the many ways, big and small, to make a difference.
Heather is Cameron's friend and Holly his cousin.
