It‘s not the last goal he plans to score, he said. The sixâ€"foot, 180â€"pounderâ€"will conâ€" tinue his education and his sports career when he leaves for England and Europe in September. After graduating from George Harvey secondary school, Mr. Campbell worked at a gas station, then went to California, and got a job in a cireus. Then he decided to come back, and hitchâ€"hiked all the way. Here in Toronto he met Glenn Beden, who conâ€" vinced him to play hockey for the university and further his education. He did both well; making the Dean‘s List, and building a reputation as a dependable defenseman. Mr. Campbell, son of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Campbell of Rutherford Ave., Weston, has completed his college education, and plans to continue with hockey.

White says he knows there are fireâ€" fighters with the Toronto Fire Department who live in York, and someone may come along from another municipality with better qualifications, irrespective of where he lives. Controller Wes Boddington menâ€" tioned that there are all sorts of applications from people who live in York. If the city of Toronâ€" to had 300 applications from peoâ€" ple living in the city they would hire them from the city. York Mayor Jack Mould told Mr. White that up to now this has been York‘s policy since the late thirties. He agreed with Controller White that it should be deleted. TT ‘de Carli, President, Connelly.
