Dave Lumsden wants to forget the fire that claimed the lives of his wife and their six children last March. He will be staying at the home of Norman Waddington, but will not be able to return to his garâ€" age job until next year. For the past few months he has beaen fighting his way back to health. Last Friday he left the hospital and went to live with his uncle in Scarborough. Last week about 30 relatives and friends gathered for the oc casion â€" the biggest the family has ever had. In 1947 Miss Hurley became assistant supervisor of the wom en‘s division of Toronto National Employment Service. Although he acted as any guest of honor would, chatting with all present he showed plainly he was tired. Always a family close to one another the tragedy of last March in the Lumsden family has servâ€" ed to bring them even closer. Born and educated in the City of Toronto, Miss Hurley has since moved up in the ranks to become a representative of interâ€" national district No. 15 of Interâ€" national Association of Personnel in Employment Security (IAPES). This nonâ€"governmental 22,000â€" member organization, formed in 1913 in Chicago, is actually a forum where workers in the agenâ€" cies and job placement offices, can talk over onâ€"job problems; where they can conceive new plans and devise new methods, and can establish liaison with public agencies in the same, field Seven years later she was anâ€" pointed to the position of emâ€" ployment branch supervisor at the then newlyâ€"opened, combined NESâ€"UIC (Unemployment Insurâ€" York Plaza, Jane and Wilson held one of the most successful sidewalk sales that they have ever had recently, and the indi vidual stores appreciated the ex cellent turnout they received.

In 1947, 1948, 1952 and 1953 she served as representative of disâ€" trict No. 1. In 1955 Miss Hurley helped plan, and participated in, a 10â€" week lecture course on the hisâ€" tory of social security for IAPES members at University of Toronâ€" to. She contributed one chapter to a booklet on this course which was later published by UIC. She actively participated in the full year of prior local arrangeâ€" ments as chairman of convention accommodation for the 1956 IAâ€" PES international convention. The beer strike is now in its second week, and in some places the bottled supply has been mirâ€" aculously holding out. But others, like the Conroy Hotel, report they have gone dry.. â€" Draught beer is almost imposâ€" sible to get these days, except in places like the Skyline, which has cut off the supply in the beverage rooms, and made it available in the cocktail lounges where the consumption is not so great. In 1962 she won promotion to employment branch supervisor of the downtown commercial and professional office, and occasionâ€" ally undertook the responsibility of acting manager.

With the beer stike still & full swing, it may interest our read ers to know that 50 years ago people didn‘t depend on an out side source for their supplies, but brewed it themselves. But even then the government was taking measures to restrict the practice. > _ An item in the "Express", a Mt.

An analysis Everybody wants their help, from the developer with plans for a $20â€"million apartment buildâ€" ing to the married man with a family looking for a job in the civic service. Every week the civic politician in Metro is asked to contribute to some fund or buy a ticket on a draw. He is expected to read a mountain of paper work in order to keep pace with civic business. This year the Metro and local politicians may get the chance to vote themselves a salary inâ€" crease. Some deserve it while others don‘t. Most of them will get it. It would be wrong to seek a raise in 1969. That‘s an election year for civic representatives. THEIR BACKGROUND The civic politician in Metro is usually married, with a family of two children. He owns or is buying his own home. He is acâ€" tive in local church organizations and his annual income is usually $10,000 or more. Some civic poliâ€" ticians are even landlords, some own houses, some own farms. Most are members of one or anoâ€" MOST WILL GET RAISE As our new long distance rate reductions went into effect last week, I thought I might use my column this month to explain the various time bands and rates. The reductions are part of our continuing program to provide you with the best possible service at the lowest possible cost. These newest long distance reductions are based on the principle of "The later the hour, the better the barâ€" gain." And, for Bell Canada customers making calls between any two points in our Ontario, Quebec, Labrador and Northwest Territories serving area there are real bargains. Beginning every evening at 6 p.m.. in time bands of two hours, rates begin to go down for stationâ€"toâ€"station calls. Further reductions are effective at 8 p.m.. 10 p.m. and midnight. In fact, our new "After 10" rate for a 10â€" minute call between any two points in our serving area is generally lower than any calling rate in the world. Our "After Midnight" rate is a real boon for night owls . . . providing the friends that are called are night owls too‘ If you can make your calls at times when lines have spare capacity, you will benefit from these bargain rates. From time to time in the past I‘ve reminded you about our Family Calling Time Plan which allows you 10 minutes of conversation for the price of five, 12 minutes for the price: of six, and so on. The new low rates apply o this Plan which now takes effect at 10 p.m. instead of 8 p.m . Monday through Saturday, and, of course, all day Sunday.

About 40 p.c. are members of the legal profession while more than twoâ€" thirds are in a managerial and professional _ classification. . Alâ€" most 30 p.c. own their own busiâ€" ness. Three basic reasons dominate the decision of today‘s Metro area civic politician to enter the muniâ€" cipal government arena. They are: an interest in the communâ€" ity and local politics; a general dissatisfaction with previous civâ€" ic administrations; requested to seek office by some group or neighborhood residents. About 35 to 40 p.c. of today‘s civie politicians were born in Metro Toronto. A number were born and raised in the city and became suburban civic leaders. Some members of the city civic administration live in the suâ€" burbs. Rising civic taxes and citizen apathy are listed by the civic leaders as two of the key probâ€" lems in the Metro region along with the need to encourage a greater use of public transportaâ€" tion facilities to relieve traffic congestion on the streets.
