He leaves' his post as manager with many memories • - both good and otherwise. • Relaxing in the bank's coffee room and reminiscing about old times, Mr. Snow reflected 'how difficult it was to obtain a job back in the. Depression., "I took the first job that came along," he said." In 1930, jobs were very difficult to find and, because I seemed to be aggressive, f got my first break at a London • bank. There was a lot of unemployment then and you were fortunate, to find a job, let alone hold on to it." Wages Fair Starting as a junior clerk at the TD Bank, London, in 1930, Mr. Snow was earning about $400 a year or $8 a week, "Wages were pretty fair and holding a job at all was an accomplishment in itself. A job was a job. It became so good that I stayed With it in the hope of gaining more experience," he -said. And experience he got: He was transferred to Toronto in 1936 and then moved to Hamilton. In 1941, a break in his career as a banker came and he joined the Air Force and served for four years. "When I got back from the Air Force' I resumed my career in Sarnia for seven years, then to Seaforth for , seven' 'years, Elrni ra' 4.a n d tfieh" Wingham." He said mat of,:his; life has been spent* in Southwestern Ontario. Mr. Snow has been with Winghatn's TD Bank for nine years. Having been a 'junior clerk more than 30 years ago, Mr. Snow sympathizes with those ',starting out today. "The breaking -in of a junior clerk was a little cruel but a lot of fun.," He said if a bank had a new employee,' a lot of little pranks would be staged as part of the initiation act. The junior, he said, would be asked to wind up the safe time lock and would follow the instructions. 'That wasn't all they did to a junior, Mr, Snow laughed. "We would alsO send him to another bank to bring back .,verbal agreement forms. We would also keep him busy cleaning out ink wells," he said. Women Now He said most employees fo today's banks are women rather than men. Mr, Snow said he has noticed, over the years, the.' steady increase of women in the banking system. Today, it is a rarity to find more men than women working in banks. "The volunteered hours of their time. The Vanastra Curling Club executive are: John and Gayle BroAridge, Corrine Cutler, Bill and CArol Munro, Barry Davis, Ron Gonie, Denis LeBrun, Percy Brown, Jenny Russo, Joan Kennedy, Bruce Shillinglaw and Bev Shaddick.

At the Vanastra Christian Church Nursery School held Tuesday and Thursday m orning the volunteer teachers are Sherry Boersma, Pat Devine and BArb 'technological aspect of banks has changed drastically too. Everyone used to be burdened with - e-ver-encling 'manual work but, with today's advanced equipment, this is almpst eliminated," he said. • When asked whether women are more efficient in' banks, his answer was yes. "Banking in this age is not as expensive as it was. In the past, there was a lot of industrial loaning being done but mare and more people are approaching their banks tor residential loans," he said. "And people used to live off • their salaries alone in Clubine. For the Tuesday Evening Craft Groups volunteer leaders are: Rose Hummel, Helen Roorda, Linda Woligroski, _Kathy Baker, Willie "Van Dorp, Mona Bruinsma, Tena Baker and Jim Baker.

Now there are more people than industries inquiring about loans:" Effective next month Nick O'Donohue becomes new manager for. Wingham's Toronto- Dominion Bank. When asked what he will do with all the free time on his hands, Mr . Snow said he plans to do a little travelling with his family and pursue hobbies which have been dormant. "I operate a ham radio, enjoy oil painting and •fishing. Perhaps these activities will keep me busy." Discussion still continues shout hospital closings in the Province, and the Acting Minister of Health has indicated that font of the nine Ontario hospitals given orders to close will remain open for an indefinite period while the Health. Ministry studies other possible uses for the institutions an other . ways to cut costs. The four Doctors Hospital, in Toronto and public hospitals in Clinton, Dur- ham and Paris, are still in the process of appealing the orders to close. There is, apparently, no chance that the remaing hospitals scheduled to close will be reprieved, and the Minister told the Legislature that the govern- ment has not altered, any deci- sions but is simply keeping an open mind while studying briefs which have been-presented. Even if some of the hospitals being closed' are put to other, uses, the Government still hopes to ,save close to $4S million. The Acting Minister of Health also told the Legislature that the entire population of Ontario will be inoculated against swine flu if the Provincial Government can obtain enough vaccine. If suffi- cient vaccine is not available., those at highest risk will be vaccinated. TheCMinister said the province hopes to use health'u'nits throughout Ontario to carry out the vaccination programme to eliminate any charge for the procedure, although no decision has yet been made about whether there -will be a charge for the vaccine itself. , According to the Ministry of Consumer and Commerbial Rela- tions, whose Ministry administers the rent review programme, an additional 20, rent review officers Will be hired to help clear a backlog of rent review applica- tions estimated at 245,000, al- though this figure may include duplicate applications where to protect himself a tenant has filed an application and the landlord has already done so .with respect to the tenant's rental accommoda- tion. Rent review legislation was introduced last fall, limiting in- creases to 8% unless a landlord can justify a higher raise to rent review officers. The 8% ceiling was retroactive to last July 31 for one year, and the Minister recently announced increases will be held to 8% annually until July 31, 1977. Speaking at the'Univer- sity of Western Ontario last week, -the Minister said he will resign or ask for , a transfer to another ministry if the Ontario Govern- ment extends 'the rent control programme beyond July 31, 1977. "I don't , want•to be a minister in charge of a mess", he said. • Ontario awarded a contract to Drake Personnel to provide, 277 trained workers for the provincial rent review programmer, The Chairman of the Management Board told the Legislature that the contract called for trained clerical stenographers, typists, clerks, support personnel and administrators. Li:b.er al Leader Stuart Smith asked for the terms of the contract, and was Unformed it was 'worth $1.6 million, which included the cost of employee benefits, The Minister of Colleges and Universities admitted that a com- munity college in Ottawa has an investment portfolio of nearly $5 million. He had been criticised by Opposition Members for allowing colleges to build up such large portfolios from public funds.' Seneca College in Toronto has a $3.4 million. investment portfolio, and the Minister said that he is preparing a full report on the portfolios held by the province's •22 Community colleges, and indi- cated that much of the money in the college portfolios is earmark- ed for specific future needs, such as' new buildings or equipment.

Robert Nixon, speaking in the Throne Dehate, referred 'to a. government pledge to take action on the problem of alnolhol abuse by teenagers, and called for a ban on all liquor and beer advertising in the Province.-Mr. Nixon said that MPPs will be "seriously' irresponsible and derelict in our duty" if they putmit this kind of advertising to continue either on radio or television, or in the print media: He - said "There's no reason for us to permit this kind of insidious pressure on young people, par4ctilarly (when it) simply identifies the use of beer much more than anything else- with the good life".
