Chilcott and David, Osh- awa, were Monday afternoon callers with Mr. Marvin Nesbitt. Mcllveen, the fact is that he is quite familiar with points east. Both he and his wife Dorothy grew up in Bowman- ville and have close ties and fond memories of the eastern part of the region. "I was born in Bowmanville where my father Reg Jones was mayor for a time," said Dorothy McIlveen. "In later years he was manager of R.M. Hollingshead where they make the Whiz products for Canadian Tire and m y mother, Lottie Jones, still lives in Bowmanville. She is very active too in ber 89th year." So Mrs. McIlveen is no newcomer to Bowmanville or to politics of the area since ber father was not only mayor but worked as registrar and as warden of Durham and North- umberland Counties. "My father was approached to run for MPP once but it was during the depression and he didn't want to take the chance of giving up a good job if he lost or even if he was defeated four years from then," she says. Educated at both the public and high school levels in Bowmanville, Dorothy (Jones) went to Guelph Uni- versity, Ontario Agricultural College as it was known then, in 1939 and studied home economics to specialize as a dietician. She had already met Dr. McIlveen and dated him during their high school years. The Mcllveen family didn't move to Bowmanville until Charlie was in Grade 7 or 8 though. His father was bank manager and they had moved six or seven times during his childhood. The course at O.A.C. lasted two years but the future Dr. and Mrs. Mcllveen were able to see eacb other weekends when eitherhe would travel to Guelph from Queen's Univer- sity in Kingston where he was studying medicine or I.hey wouldimeet at their homes in Bowmanville. SMrs. McIlveenastudied quantity coQking after bier ori1ina course was completed and then worked for Trans Canada Airlines, now known as Air Canada. During their courtship, both Charlie and Dorothy liked activities such as swimming and dancing., "There were so many foot- ball and basketball games with dances after them," she recalls. "Most of our activities were centred around school." But even in those days Charlie Mcllveen was always on the go. "He bas worked from the time he was 13-years-old," says Dorothy. "He drove a Pepsi truck, was counsellor at the boys' trainin camp in Bowmanville and had all sorts of summer and part-time jobs. " Wben they were married in 1942, Charlie had just finished his first year at Queen's and Dorothy went to work at the Hotel Dieu Hospital in King- ston until ber husband gradu- ated. "He interned at a hospital in Victoria, British Columbia," says Mrs. McIlveen. "And then we came back to Oshawa and Charlie interned here. I know it was 29 years ago because at an auction in Newtonville we attended a couple of weeks a go, we found that Charlie had delivered the 29-year-old auctioneer. The days of Dr. Mcllveen's studies to become a medical doctor were not an easy time for the young couple although Mrs. Mcllveen says they can find humor in looking back. "'Apart from the bard work," she says, "we neyer knew where our next meal was coming from. Sometimes, we would bave to decide if we should eat or enjoy ourselves. If we choseenjoyment, we wouldtiterhlly run frome opposite directions to meet at a cinema before the matinee prices changed. And one of Charlie's jobs during a summer while he was stilvet universty give bis wife a chuckle even now. He was working on con- struction during the day and when she wou d get home from work, Dorothy would find "mounds of cement" in the bath tub where Charlie had cleaned up. Eventualiy Dr. Mýcllveen went from interning into the practice of Dr. Archer Brown of Oshawa. The Young-couple lived on Golf Street in Oshawa and were to move severai times before. settiing into the house they have now, a lovely home only a block away from their first flat which came with shared bathroom facili- ties and no kitchen. Before their family came, a boy and a girl - Cari is now 20 and Nyle 15, Dorothy worked at running Charlie's office for the first five years of his practice and has helped him in his interesting careers as cioctor andi politician ever since. Both Dorothy and Charlie McIlveen are proud of their Bowmanville roots and when- ever they visit the town, which is often especially with the boundary changes in the riding, people ask about the Jones family and about the six McIlveen boys. All six of the boys became rofessional men with Frank a ank manager in Peterbor- ough; Bob a chemist, living in Toronto; Don, a teacher in Oshawa; Charles and Gilbert both doctors; and Eric, a teacher in Woodstock. Their mother still lives in Oshawa. Although the life of a doctor's or politician's wife can be a lonely one, Dorothy McIlveen has taken both roles in her stride by using time wisely in developing a closer relationship witb her children working for the Progressive Conservative Party or decor- ating (including the hard part like ering or upholstering) the clveen residence into a gracious and hospitable home. "I really do enjoy the fact that Charlie is stili working with people," says Mrs. McIlveen. "As an MPP, he is even working closer with people than he sometimes was able to as a doctor." As for actually etting a chance to see her husband, she says: "People do sometimes as why we have a cottage. We haven't had a holiday with tinte to ourselves for years but I hope our time will come."
