Some Big Talk Mrs. Braithwaite was making good headway with her lunch when asked exactly what the Auxiliary was going to do on the residential campaign which will Taise close to three million dolâ€" lars. She said there were approxâ€" imately 300 people actively inâ€" volved (all women save the mysterious ‘Ed‘) in the Auxiliary and she hoped they would form a driving force for the 4,000 campaign workers needed. Would interest wain in . the organization? Her fork dropped back to her plate and in true amazement her eyes widened in a fashion that made the questionâ€" er wish he had not been so stupid. Her optimism pervaded ‘the luncheon table as she explaâ€" ined the excitement of the projâ€" ions planned which would in volve the male sex. Asked what exactly she meant she explained that she did not exactly know, ‘"but we‘ll think of something," she quickly added. ‘"Everyone I‘ve talked to is amazing," she said regaining her fork. "They all want to help. I‘ve had numbers of phone calls â€" all people wanting to know what they can do. Before, we weren‘t exactly sure what we could give them, but now we are completely organized so I can give a job to anyone who The power of the woman‘s inâ€" fluence pervaded when Mrs. Misum_i interrupted her eating to explain her view of the projâ€" ect. "It‘s devastating"‘ she said. Would they gain the moral and financial support they were looking for when they hit the campaign trail? The men seated "Of course men," she chided your telephone manager With the first long weekend of the summer coming up, I‘d like to take a little space in the column to pass along some statistics on the highwayâ€"accident picture in Ontario, and congratulate drivers for the remarkable showing made last year in holding the death rate down. The Bell‘s interest in safety is, I believe, well known, and the fact that the Company operates the largest fleet of vehicles in Canada makes road safety all that more important to us. According to figures released by the Canadian Highâ€"r way Safety Council, Ontario highway accidents took 1,424 lives last year â€" three lives more }han in 1963. Apart from Newfoundland, which actually lowered the number of deaths, Ontario‘s increase of roughly oneâ€"fifth of one per cent is almost incredible â€" especially when comâ€" pared to neighbouring Quebec and Manitoba, where deaths tragically increased 20 and 11 per cent, respecâ€" I sincerely hope that as we take to the road this sumâ€" mer we will not only continue to hold down the death rate, but actually begin to pare it away as in Newfoundâ€" land. Our highways will become safer and safer for all of us if each one â€" driver, passenger, pedestrian and cycâ€" list alike â€" will accept a continuing responsibility to see that they do so. Summed up very simply, this means that Road Safety is everyone‘s responsibility, and all the time. Right? take it back in with you and use it as a NÂ¥ular extenâ€" sion! If you‘re interested, we‘d be glad to tell you more about it â€" just give us a call at our business office. Mr. Earl E. Jarvis, WESTON, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1965 BELL LINES 9+ ON HOLDING THE LINE OUTDOORS AT HOME around the table, smoking by this point were very hopeful â€" the women with their powerful optâ€" imism were sure of it. "Everyone is enthusiastic," Mrs. Braithwaite reiterated. committee chairman, J a m es Arnott said the campaign will have the personal nonâ€"profession al approach. "No slips in mail will be approached personally." Board Chairman John Wyllie pointed out that there were 55,â€" 000 homes to be canvassed by more than 4,000 volunteer canyâ€" assers. ‘‘This means each perâ€" son has only about 10 homes to go to. ‘"He explained that securâ€" ity was a detail completely worked out. All the pledge cards are numbered and none will be left around so they can be copâ€" ied. People can get things printed too fast." He said there would be no telephone solicitatâ€" When one gentleman of the fourth estate in a manner more forceful than interrogation said there was not a chance of buildâ€" ing a new 500 bed hospital when the Queensway was just edging past 200, loud protestions were heard among the clink of coffee cups. Mr. Wyllie was most forceful in rebutting this theory. "If you only try for 200 beds that‘s all you‘ll get. The need is there for 1,000 beds. We‘re being realistic in starting with 500." ‘"Everyone is behind us," inâ€" terjected Mrs. Misumi in her soft voice which commands attention by its light yet forceful tone. Mrs. Braihwaite said there had been the utmost cooperation with the Queensway and Humber Memorial Hospitals. "We are having a meeting at the end of this month," she said, "and our guest speaker will be a past president of the Queensway Hospital Auxiliary." The power of the female may be the very thing to build the 500 bed Etobicoke General Hospital. Earl E. Jarvis Boys Village is expanding it‘s summer camp programs for disâ€" turbed boys, Robert C. Shaw, Exâ€" ecutive Director, has announced.

WILLIAM WILKES, 38 Renfield St., was born in Grimsby England, May 11, 1875. He and Ada were married January 6, 1901, and came to, Canada on May 16, 1910. After a short time in the city, they settled in the Mount Dennis â€" Weston area, moved into a cottage on Harding Avenue in 1923, then to their new home, at 36 Renfield St., in 1926. Their only daughter, Dora, passed away December 24, 1959. Mrs. Wilkes passed away in June 1964, in her 91st year. The Wilkes® were one of the founders of the congregation now known as St. David‘s Anglican Church. During the more than 50 years of residence in the Hardington comâ€" munity they were very active. Mr. Wilkes built the Community Centre on Harding Ave. now being usâ€" ed as a Day Nursery. Until very recently he was still active in his main hobby of gardening, and it is not too long ago that he had to reluctantly foreâ€" go tht pleasures of bike riding. He was employed as a carpenter, employers having included Swifts and Moffats. 1964 Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop, LATE MODELS ALL FRESH TRADEâ€"INS Fully equipped Clean 4 door sedan Fully equipped Police cruiser Spec. 1963 Ford Custom Clean 1964 Galaxie 500 1963 Volkswagen 1962 Ford Galaxie Clean 1962 Falcon Clean 1964 Dodge 1961 Falcon Clean 1961 Consul P ha es c c on | 1957 Oldsmobile .008 ~.
