Malcolm Ross Bow

[2] Born in Vernon, Ontario, Bow graduated from Queen's University with a medical degree in 1911.

He controlled typhoid with a sanitary system of galvanized steel buckets and a specialised "honeywagon" which he helped design.

[1] Bow was also an organizer and player for the Regina Rugby Club, predecessor of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

[2] In 1929 Bow requested a dangerous winter flight by bush pilot Wop May to bring diphtheria vaccine to Fort Vermilion to combat an emerging outbreak.

[2] Bow was initially criticised for the "foolhardy" risk, but the delivery was successful and the pilots were greeted as national heroes on their return to Edmonton.
