We believe the management has been competent to the best of their ability in keeping the area a respectable, picturesâ€" que home for the tenants. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burns, the managerâ€"couple of the Heights have worked hard and well to insure the area will not be brought down to the level of "a government subsidized project."

When we published our articles sevâ€" eral months ago, we had just cause for concern about Rexlington. We did not, however, intend to give the impression that this area is not a respectable place in which to live. The untidiness of mass projects like the Heights is an national malady which can be caught and corâ€" rected in time as is being done in Rexâ€" lington. The management and most of the tenants in Rexlington deserve as much credit now for their efforts in keeping the area a home for many, as they once deserved for letting the area be run down. have been entrances.

The Weston Couple, Mr. and Mrs. Syd Stittle, of 9 John Best Avenue are to be commended for their ‘adâ€" option‘ of an eightâ€"yearâ€"old Hong Kong boy.

The differences in pay schedules for the same type of jobs stands out in plants which are directly controlâ€" led by American unions and head companies, such as Anaconda Brass or Continental Can, where an office boy earns about $90 per week, while in Canadian plants he may earn about $65 or less. LAST WEEK I took off on people for what I termâ€" ed ‘glory seeking‘ but I made a slight mistake, for which I apologize. John Siviter has nothing to do with the Rexlington Tenants‘ Association and never has. He is connected with only the Rexdale Soccer League. If American plants in Canada can and still make monevy, why can‘t we? The owner fired the boy (about 19 years old) for leaving work at 1 a.m. when he was supposed to work until 2 a.m. from 9 in the morning. He was busy almost all day in his job. He was resâ€" ponsible for a staff of about 13, and handled sums as large as hundreds of thousands of dollars each day. His takeâ€"home pay was about $58 per week. Another youth working in this area, to whom I was talking, collected the munificent salary of $25 per week or 12 hours work per day at a restaurant as a busbov. He was required to be on the job for the ‘police check‘ at 8 a.m., and left work at about 5 p.m. He was sometimes at the bank until 2 am. when auditors were busy, and was expected to be back to work again at 8 a.m. A friend of mine was a chief accountant in a downâ€" town branch of a chartered bank. However banks rate among the lowest paid staff in the country for the amount of work a teller or clerk is required to do. The Bell Telephone Company, according to the Rexâ€" lington Tenants‘ Association, is charging a deposit of $25 each to persons who have telephones installed in apartments, I wonder why? SALARIES in Canada are generally too low. We find salaries average about $65 per week, which is considered to be good pay among persons with an ‘under Grade 12‘ education.
