The Bourkes all work at the Bell! Away back in 1922, a young man by the name of Arthur Bourke joined our company. Little did he realize that his children—all six of them —would follow in his footsteps to careers at the Bell. Today Mr. Bourke would be more than proud of his handsome family. We know we are! The Bourkes, like all telephone people, know from their own experience that the Bell is "a good place to work". They have found pleasant associates and interesting work at good wages. They have also found satisfaction and opportunity in serving the public in an essential business. And this is as it should be, for good tele- phone service depends upon people who like their jobs, and convey this feeling to our customers. This is the feeling that is largely responsible for "the spirit of service" you find in Bell employees wherever you meet them.

BIG FAMILIES IN PIONEER HOMES (By Harry Sloan in the Milwaukee Journal) Young people often say it must have been hard to have been a member of a large family in a small home in pioneer days. (I can speak with a little auth- ority on the subject: I bad nine ur bank has a new name and offers a greater service to you The Bank of Toronto and The Dominion Bank have amalgamated to become The Toronto -Dominion Bank. Both strong, independent institutions, the two banks have long and Honourable histories in Canadian business. Their combined strength will form an organization with assets of more than one billion dollars, 450 branches across Canada and offices in New York and London, England. Thus The Toronto -Dominion Bank offers you the best in banking service. Depositors, for example, will find it easier if they move to transfer their account to a nearby branch of the bank where they are known. Businessmen will enjoy greater banking facilities when diey travel .. benefit from increased credit facilities . . . and faster service on business and credit reports. With its greater new resources, The Toronto-Dorninion Bank is prepared to serve the largest business; at the same time its regular customers, both large and small, will continue to receive the same friendly, courteous service to which they have long been accustomed. Our facilities ere greater, our name is new—our policy remains the same. � TORONTO -DOMINION BANK T W E BEST IN BANKING SVICE ER :1 44,14..41 h4'0", qq ,d'xaiN's older brothers and sisters, sixteen aunts, many uncles and cousins by the dozens.) "How would a mother take care of so many youngster's" is a question often asked. Well, mothers didn't continous- ly wait on youngsters in those days. Children were taught to help themselves. •At a surprising- ly young age they were dressing and feeding themselves, although shoe laces might be crooked or a dress on backward, and sometimes dad had to scrape gravy and mol- asses off a youngster's Mb with his knife after dinner. Of course, the children didn't do thins as well as the adults could have done for them, but at least they got a chance to try. By the time the oldest girl of the family was five there were younger brothers and sisters, and "big sister" not only cared for herself but helped teached the others how to wait on themselves. At a young age the boys were helping with the farm chores. A broom handle in a worn hoe made a tool light enough for a small boy and he was taken to the field and shown the difference between a stalk of corn and a weed. My oldest aunt was married at 13 but by that age she had had much experience caring for chil- dren and seven years of cooking and helping keep the house clean. The story is told of a man who drove up to a country store in a three -seated spring wagon with a pyramid of youngsters' heads too numerous to count in the back two seats. "Are these all your kids, or is this a picnic?" asked the storekeeper. "They're all my kids and it's a picnic too," said the father: One family had six boys and girls in our country school at one time. They brought their dinner to school in a 14 -quart milk pail. The oldest brother and sister spread a tablecloth across a dou- ble desk and all six gathered around a family dinner. They al- ways brought a fried chicken and a pie or cake. Most of us secret- ly envied that family. The chil- dren seemed to have a better time than youngsters whose older bro- thers and sisters were out of school. Members of large families did not have to leave home to find playmates. The story is told of one farm family of 11 boys as near the same age as the laws of biology permit. They had their own football, baseball and track teams, and two basketball teams. They were so good that when they went to college only the brothers had much chance of making the teams. The biggest problem of the large family in the small house was finding a place for everyone to sleep. That usually was solved by putting two or more beds in a room and three or more boys or girls in each bed. The noise didn't stop even when everybody got to sleep. The snor- ing of a dozen persons in one small house can get pretty loud. The noise usually didn't bother the family, but it did disturb a visitor if he were not used to loud snoring. My nephew, Glen, used to say his family did musical snoring. "My dad snores bass, I snore tenor, and my small brother snores tenor. We have .been thinking of having a phonograph record made." If you have been sorry for those big families living in small pio- neer homes you have wasted your sympathy. They generally were happier than small families to- day and in those days we heard of few delinquents and neurotics. li. Sev {,puMro tit FEBRUARY 11, 1955 EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN DATES SET FOR MARCH 10 TO APRIL 10 A cheery 11 -year-old youngster who has worn a cripple's hip brace since he was stricken by polio six years ago, yet has triumphed over his handicap to become goaltender of his school's` hockey team, will be Ontario's "Timmy" for 1955. As symbol of the nearly 9,000 children who benefit from the work of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, Alexander "San- dy" McDonald, pupil of Onteora School, is . looking forward to be- ing chief guest at the Sports Cele- brity dinner, February 17, which opens the annual sale of Easter Seals. Sandy hopes to meet Harry Lumley, goalie of the Maple Leafs, at that dinner, and that very wish reveals the kind of a lad who becomes the ninth boy chosen to represent Ontario's han- dicappead youngsters during the sale of the Easter Seals which finances the program of treatment and training directed by the so- ciety. Sandy has never admitted that polio prevented him from do- ing anything. The oldest of three children of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. McDonald, of 373 Thayer Avenue, Hamilton, Sandy was born in Victoriaville, Quebec, when his dad was with the Royal Canadian Air Force. When he was five, and after the family moved here, he contracted polio, spent a year and a half in hospital, and now wears a high hip brace. In the past six years Sandy has accomplished things that could be the envy of any boy. Ile made up all lost time at school, is now in Grade 6, and he is described by Principal J. Harris, of Onteora School, as an excellent pupil. He has followed in his dad's footsteps as a boy soprano, sings in the Christ Church Cathedral boys' choir ,and was soloist in the last Christmas Carol services. He has sung at many other church and civic ceremonies, and George Veary, his choirmaster and teach- er, says he is improving steadily as a singer. For the past four years he has attended camps operated by the Ontario Society for Crippled Chil- dren, which also administers a wide program of other services for handicapped children, and he has earned his Red Cross senior swim- ming award. Swimming, accord - .Boat Stuck in. Ice Ice has taken a firm grip on a fishing boat owned by Ed. Siddall, Goderich, which has been stuck just outside the north breakWall of Goderich harbor for the past week. On Tuesday, when Mr. Sid- dall went out to start the engine in the hope that he might bring the boat into harbor, he discovered that the craft may have lost its propellor. He took the boat out of the harbor to go after some nets about seven miles from port.— Goderich Signal -Star. Ing to the society's nurses, has aided him considerably, his af- fected leg, which once was two and a half inches shorter than the normal leg, now being less than one inch shorter. Sandy rides a bike, fitted by his dad with extra wheels so it won't tip when he stops; plays the piano, has his own darkroom for photography, and hopes to go to college, though he hasn't decided if he'd prefer to be a lawyer or a minister. And he hopes, too, to meet Marilyn Bell when he goes to Toronto because of her work in helping crippled children to swim. And, finally, the new "Timmy' hopes to -be able to do something to help other youngsters like him- self. The Rotary Club of Hamil- ton, in co-operation with the So- ciety, has helped him by provid- ing special braces, shoes and oth- er things he has needed. Now Sandy wants to help it, and the more than two hundred other clubs who participate in the so- ciety's work, in boosting the sale of Easter Seals so that no handi- capped andlcapped boy or girl in Ontario will be without help. HENSALL Mr. Mervyn Eyre, who has been on the staff of the Hensall branch for the past year or more, has been transferred to Aylmer and will leave shortly to take over his new duties.
