The family thought him rather slow but where he wanted action he ^ot it from the whole family. The family consisted of three children, Ernest, Melvin Johnston, the eldest, who “loved responsibility” and who took life and his job a trifle too Seriously to suit"his father or brother William; Ma%& Eileen/ Johnstone, the only daughter,, who was clerk in' the Fair Department Store, and William, Hugh Gumirig, also a newspaper man, who has the happy faculty of getting fired from jobs frequently, but always finding new ones too. .
