# William Montagu-Pollock

Sir William Horace Montagu-Pollock KCMG (12 July 1903 – 26 September 1993) was a British diplomat who was ambassador to Syria, Peru, Switzerland and Denmark.

## Career

William Horace Montagu-Pollock was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He joined the Diplomatic Service in 1927 He served at Rome, Belgrade, Prague, Vienna and Stockholm, where he was chargé d'affaires during the Second World War. He then worked at the Foreign Office as the first Head of the Cultural Relations Department, for which he was appointed CMG in the King's Birthday Honours of 1946.
The CRD had its origins in a small Foreign Office section created to give political direction to the British Council and to manage the political and policy aspects of the growing scale of organised international intellectual, cultural, societal and artistic contacts, with a view to promoting Allied goodwill; but it became, almost by accident, a small British front-line unit in a clandestine struggle to prevent Moscow's domination of the world of international movements, federations and assemblies – what would later be called ‘the battle of the festivals’. Later, Montagu-Pollock was head of the General Department of the Foreign Office.
In 1950, Montagu-Pollock was appointed Minister to Syria, upgraded to Ambassador in 1952. In December 1953, he was appointed to be Ambassador to Peru ; While he was in Peru he was knighted KCMG in the Queen's Birthday Honours of 1957. In May 1958 he became Ambassador to Switzerland and in 1960 he became Ambassador to Denmark.
Sir William retired from the Diplomatic Service in 1962.

# William Henry Chippendale

William Henry Chippendale (14 August 1801 – 3 January 1888) was an English actor, known in particular for his portrayal of old men.

## Life

He was born in Somers Town, London, on 14 Aug. 1801, and received some education at the high school, Edinburgh, in which city his father made his first appearance on 25 July 1814 as Polonius. Chippendale was placed with James Ballantyne to learn printing, and asserted, in error or oblivion, that he 'read' some of the Waverley manuscripts. He was subsequently apprenticed to John Ballantyne the auctioneer. He claimed to have played the Page to Stephen Kemble's Falstaff, and taken other boyish parts. In 1819, he made at Montrose, as David in the 'Rivals' his first professional appearance, and then became a strolling player. On 11 Jan. 1823, as Chippendale from Carlisle, he was at the Caledonian theatre, Edinburgh, playing Johnny Howie in 'Gilderoy.' Glasgow, Carlisle, the Lincoln, York, and Worcester circuits, and Manchester, Birmingham, Bath, and Bristol saw him in leading business in comedy. In Manchester he first enacted Sir Peter Teazle.
Chippendale spent 17 years at Price's Park Theatre in New York.
Chippendale returned to the United Kingdom in 1853, performing at the Haymarket Theatre for over two decades, and took the role of Polonius in the Henry Irving production of Hamlet at the Lyceum.
He was on 27 April 1853, the first Lord Betterton in R. Sullivan's 'Elopement in High Life.' Many new parts in pieces now consigned to oblivion followed. On 23 Feb. 1860 he was first Colepepper in the 'Overland Route.' As Abel Murcott in 'Our American Cousin' he made a great hit. He was on 14 Jan. 1869 the first Dorrison in Robertson's 'Home,' and on 25 Oct. the first Marmaduke Vavasour in Tom Taylor's 'New Men and Old Acres.'
His chief service to the Haymarket was rendered in so-called classical comedy, in which he to some extent replaced Farren. His parts in this included, in addition to those named—Sir Francis Gripe in the 'Busybody,' Sullen in the 'Beaux' Stratagem,' Malvolio, Adam, Sir Harcourt Courtly, Hardcastle, Old Mirabel in the 'Inconstant,' Lord Duberly in The Heir at Law, Lord Priory in 'Wives as they were and Maids as they are,' Old Dornton in 'Road to Ruin,' and Sir Walter Fondlove in The Love Chase. His original parts comprised also Ingot in 'David Garrick,' Dr. Vivian in 'A Lesson for Life,' and Gervais Dumont in 'A Hero of Romance.' On tour at the Theatre Royal, Dundee in The School For Scandal his Sir Peter Teazle, opposite Miss Caroline Hill's Lady Teazle, was described as "a pure and perfectly chrysalis experience of dramatic art, exquisitely complete in every, even the minutest, shade of delineation".
As Polonius, he took a farewell benefit at the same company on 24 February 1879. He subsequently acted in the country until his intellect began to fail.
His third wife was a fellow Haymarket actor, the actress Mary Jane Seaman. Chippendale had twenty-three children, most of whom predeceased him.
He died on 3rd January 1888 and was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery. His grave (no.13555) no longer has a headstone or marker.

# William Reynolds (industrialist)

William Reynolds (14 April 1758 – 3 June 1803) was an ironmaster and a partner in the ironworks in Coalbrookdale in Shropshire, England. He was interested in advances in science and industry, and invented the inclined plane for canals.

## Early life

He was born at Bank House in Ketley near Coalbrookdale, son of Richard Reynolds who was in charge of Abraham Darby II's ironworks at Ketley. Around 1777 he took over the management of the works there.
William Reynolds's education included some time studying with the physician and chemist Joseph Black. Reynolds during his life maintained his interest in many branches of science, including chemistry, geology and mineralogy, and he had a laboratory at his home Bank House, at Ketley Bank. He was interested in the application of science in industry. With Abraham Darby he built under licence several Boulton and Watt steam engines, an early type of steam engine, for the works.

## Innovations

Reynolds constructed three tub boat canals, which brought coal and iron ore a short distance from local mines to the ironworks. Built from 1787 to 1788, they were the Ketley Canal, the Wombridge Canal and the Shropshire Canal. They included an invention of Reynolds, an inclined plane: this was a method of raising canal boats from one level to another.

### Visiting engineers

During this period, the reputation of Coalbrookdale encouraged visiting engineers who tried new ideas.
Thomas Telford knew the Coalbrookdale company since he had become Surveyor of Public Works for Shropshire in 1787. Reynolds constructed Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct for Telford, a cast-iron aqueduct, assembled in 1796, carrying the Shrewsbury Canal across the River Tern at Longdon-on-Tern. (Telford, encouraged by its success, used cast iron for the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct).
In January 1802 Richard Trevithick came to Coalbrookdale, where boiler plates for steam engines had been made for some time. He built and tested a stationary engine which operated with an unprecedentedly high boiler pressure of 145 psi. Trevithick, who had built a road locomotive in Cornwall (the Puffing Devil), then worked, probably with Reynolds, to build a locomotive at Coalbrookdale that ran on rails; few details are known about this experiment, which is thought to be the first occasion of a locomotive on rails.

## Reynolds and Darby families

Around 1789 Richard Reynolds passed his shares in the Ketley ironworks to William and William's half-brother Joseph Reynolds (1768–1859). In 1796 the interests of the Darby and Reynolds families, having become complicated, were separated, the Ketley ironworks belonging to the Reynolds family, and Coalbrookdale to the Darbys.
Reynolds became seriously ill in March 1803, and died near Broseley (adjacent to Coalbrookdale) on 3 June of that year. He was buried in the Quaker burial ground at Coalbrookdale. His interests in the Ketley works were passed to his half-brother Joseph.

# Winooski Archeological Site

The Winooski Archeological Site, designated VT-CH-46 by state archaeologists, is a prehistoric Native American site in the city of Winooski, Vermont. First identified in 1972, it is one of the largest Native encampment sites of the Middle Woodland period in the northeastern United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, at which time it was recognized as one of just two stratified Woodland period sites in the state.

## Description

The Winooski Archeological Site is located on a terrace above the north bank of the Winooski River. It is demarcated on its sides by marshy terrain, which may have made the area a peninsula at the time of its occupation. The site is highly stratified, with cultural materials interbedded with silt from river flooding. Finds at the site include remnants of fire pits, ceramic fragments, stone tools and projectile points, and the debris (debitage) from stone tool manufacture. It is possible that this site is the location of "Winoosqueak", a native settlement mentioned in early French accounts of the region.
The site was first identified in 1972 by an amateur member of the Vermont Archaeological Society, and was from an early date considered at risk due to river erosion. Surveys and investigations through the 1970s under the leadership of state archaeologists identified the bounds and scope of the site. Stone finds at the site were quarried from sites as far off as Pennsylvania, and the ceramic finds are stylistically consistent with traditions found in the Saint Lawrence River valley and the Great Lakes. It is unclear whether the site was subject to long-term seasonal occupation, or repeated short-term occupations, something further archaeological investigation might reveal.
# Windrose 18

The Windrose 18 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a cruiser and first built in 1974.
The Windrose 18 design was developed into the Windrose 5.5 in 1977.

# Winnice P. Clement

Winnice P. Clement (August 4, 1899 – August 1985) was an American clerk. She was the Webster Parish Registrar of Voters in Minden, Louisiana for nearly 26 years, beginning in 1940. During her tenure, she was targeted for removal by white supremacist organizations committed to keeping African Americans from voting. Despite their efforts, she persisted in office until 1966, after the enforcement of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in Louisiana.
In 1956, a pro-segregation White Citizens' Council took actions to remove African American voters from the registration rolls, after African American voter registration increased from zero when she took office to nearly 2,000. It had been customary to register white applicants without a test of their understanding of the Constitution if they seemed literate, and Clement had applied the same standard to African American applicants. After demands by the council (and their protests to Louisiana governor Robert Kennon), and a visit from the state supervisor of registration, Clement began strictly enforcing the law on February 23, 1956, which by March 8, 1956, resulted in the disqualification of 24 white applicants.
Clement was then fired from her position by Governor Kennon, after the Council continued to protest, but in May 1956, she was reinstated by Governor Earl Long, who also worked with leaders in the Louisiana Senate to draft legislation to remove the literacy test provision, which had been adopted in 1898 to disenfranchise African American voters, with an "understanding" provision intended to allow registrars to only use the test on African American applicants. The proposed legislation also required a court order to remove voters from the registration rolls. Purges of the voter rolls continued, and by 1962, about 100 African American voters were registered in Webster Parish.
Clement was called before the United States Commission on Civil Rights and a federal grand jury to answer questions, subject to FBI inspections of her office, and involved in years of litigation that included a 1963 injunction against the use of the test, and later resulted in a March 14, 1966 order from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965. She retired on May 1, 1966, and as of July 1966, nearly 1,800 African Americans were registered to vote in Webster Parish.
Clement was born on August 4, 1899. She died in August 1985.
