AFTER 46 years on the editorial staff of The Commercial Motor, including 30 years as editor, Gordon Mackenzie Junner retired on
Wednesday.
Mr. Junner, familiarly known as "Mac," has' played an important role in the industry's activities. He joined this journal as a technical sub-editor in 1913, having previously been engaged in design and experimental work with the Associated Equipment Co., Ltd. He saw service in France from 1914 until 1919, when he returned to the journal as assistant editor.
A mixture of Scottish canniness and impatience of disorder led him to recognize the industry's need for organization and to help in the foundation of the British Road Federation. Also, in 1930 he took_ the initiative in forming the Long-Distance Road Haulage Committee, forerunner of the Road Haulage Association. In 1944 he pioneered the Institute of Road Transport Engineers, of which he was recently elected president for the 14th consecutive year.
" Mac" fought enthusiastically at public meetings, and in his writings, against the nationalization of road transport in the immediate post-war years. Admittedly a partisan of the hauliers' cause, he was not entirely concerned with its political aspects and originated many technical suggestions to improve road conditions and vehicle operation.
He has retained throughout his career a youthful infectious enthusiasm that we are sure he will carry into his retirement for many more happy years. On behalf of our readers, particularly the man9 to whom he was known personally, we extend to him our best wishes.
Mr. A. E. Sherlock-Mesher was appointed editor yesterday to succeed Mr. Junner. Mr. Sherlock-Mesher served on the editorial staff of The Commercial Motor from 1928 to 1937 and after war service returned to compile and edit "The B r-i tish Commercial Vehicle Industry" — now a well established reference volume in its fifth biennial edition: Since 1946 he has been assistant editor of The Commercial Motor and his long association with Mr. Junner ensures continuance of the progressive policy of this journal.
