He had been found to have had more experience. This man was highly qualified. * The ‘gentleman mentioned is a Mr. "Andy"‘ Patterson, 11 Helen Street Timmins. "Do you know that this job was given to a bachelor, receiving partial pension for disability received in the first world war, 1‘ man who has been living in Timmins just a little while, and has never, worked here before? "I do not mean to hurt this gentleâ€" man in any way. He got the job. But the facts remain as mentioned above. He has a pension and money besides. There is not one of the rest of us who could do the work well, and stand the wage, little as it is, offered by the town."‘ LAPORTE: I presume you have all read this letter. I suggest we take it parsgraph for paragraph. "A month 1ig0"â€"(he read)â€"‘"the town council advertised for 2 welfare investigator. About 12 local persons, including myâ€" self, made the application, and were interviewed by Messrs. Bartleman, Fay and Bailey, wnd, of course, George Reid, welfare administrator. MRS. LLOYD: He could speak no French. Mrs, Lloyd nad been employed as an investigator by the decyrtment for three yeors. The council had "let her out" sonie time ago, and had reâ€" eently hired a male investigator. Messrs. Leporte and Earl Byirkwell produced clippings containing the Jetter.

The s meeting concerned George Reid, Welfare Adâ€" ministrator, Mirs. Lloyd and letter written by Mrs. Lloyd to the Adiwunce last week. Leo Laporte, chairman of the Welfare Department, presided. Present were the following: The Mseyor, Council members, Clerk, Mrs. Lloyd, Mr. Reid and Mr. McDonald, town accountart. In a letter to The Advance last week Mrs; Llova complained yibout 10 MRS. LLOYD: May.I say why I put that in? Because Mr. Reid never came in in the morning until nineâ€"thirty or twenty to tep. And then he would go out. : At five minutes past ten you. could not hold him in. What he do I do not know. And there would be people waiting. ‘"While an investigator was hired for a few months last winter, the Press carried z lot about deserters put in jail for nonâ€"support. Then it died down again. Why? Knowing George Reid for a most lazy person I can understznd that investigating in the home§ was not made. If he did, he could not stretch his legs on top of his desk for hours. He is not reâ€" quired in the office to do the bookâ€" keeping, since there is a bookkeeper and the office is closed every afterâ€" noon. There is no retsson in the world why he could not devote those four hours, at least, to investigate. It is cold outside. It is far more comfortâ€" able to read the investigator‘s reports inside, than to go out and dig them for himself, and the title is not as high, either." REID: . .. Wellâ€"1â€"it could be that I am a little lazy. I don‘t know LAPORTE: The Council would have gestions. charge to the tewn. That is our chief BARTLEMAN: How m problem here. (He read the following~ my.de â€" on the average? from the letter. ** MRS. LLOYD: I made : MRS. LLOYD: Ido not want Mr. Reid to lose his job. But I think Mr. Reid is wrong. He has no reason for me not getting the job. And I want to know why he is against me? BARTLEMAN: But what we want to get at is this â€" the statements â€" whkether or not they yire true? , MRS. LLOYD: They are right. I would feel very disrespectful if they were not true. Mrs. Lloyd? BARTLEMAN: Now why do you have to ,,but-t in? REID: That is absolutely incorrect. My legal counsel advises me that is definite libel, with my personcl name being dij.gged down. BARTLEMAN: Would you make an affidavit that that is so? REID: Yes, I would, Sir. MRS. LLOYD: It was true. I would not put my riime to anything that was not true. SALOMM Mrs. Lloyd had not the time to . (to Mrs. Lloyd)â€" REID: I do not make 1x record every time I go.

And:â€"I would like to hear more from Mrs. Lloyd and Mr. Reid. But now I am going home. ~"BARTLEMAN: (deducing Mr. Patâ€" terson‘s calls from the report) Seventyâ€"five calls in three weeks. And yet it takes a yerr to make 181 ealls. It just doesn‘t â€" there is something wrong â€" REID: Every call he mikes is not recorded. Sometimes I make a numâ€" ber of calls. They are not all recordâ€" ed. BARTLEMAN: No record for every call? LAFORTE: (reeding from letter) "L never before made ) report to the public. do hopa this will help the taxpayers. Write, or ask, personaily, to the council, and trust them to be honest with you. Find out how far apart the investigetions were made in the homes. Now is the time. An inâ€" vestigator is hired, and from this inâ€" vestig=tor, not from Mr. Reid, should the ;answer come â€" in case he would alter the conditions. * «MRS. LLOYD: I made my calls four times a year. Sometimes seven and eight. very different from writing a report of what they tell yau, in the office. Some cre honest, but you must find out for yourself the conditions in the homes. what pays."‘ LAPORTE: | That is a matter of opinion. But we are glad of new sugâ€" gestions. BARTLEMAN: How many ealis are REID: Investigation : in the homes is important. But it is not most imâ€" portant.‘I would say that the mist imâ€" portant. T would say that theâ€"most important point was finding out the pay and sa‘ u‘y whether he was workâ€" ing. $+. MRS.; LLOYD: I think Mr. Reid should go out and make investigations himself and save the cost to the town.

It laughs at your slightest imperfection. Newspapers will publish your failings without the least scruple. How will ruthless reporters describe you, when you break into the news? Yeur friends won‘t tell you. Have you ever wondered how your stencgrapher or your cook really sees you? Perhaps you will say you den‘t care? That‘s all right. But youthfulness is caringâ€" not for vanity‘s sake but for one‘s own selfâ€"respect. But the style is prssible in listenâ€" in shaking hands, in writing a letter. Style isn‘t affectation. It isn‘t merely convention. It isn‘t aristocraâ€" tic pretense. ift is merely doing tbings properly â€" without letting your mind wander. When you do things with that kind of style, it‘s evidence of clert, conscious control of the actor. Such style lifts you up into the mood of youth. It makes you youthful.

A uniâ€" formed crmy is more exciting than an ordinary mcb. Fashion makes for youthfulness because it indicates reâ€" newal. It prevents settling down. it keeps you stirred and bubbling. And style is important too. Even if you‘re a bit awkward you can still Rcequire style. If you know wht you‘re doing and concentrate on it. that gives you grace. Doing anything well gives grace. Skill is grace. A hockey player has grace and so have some sedoâ€"jerkers. Well, you can be graceful in taking a seat, putting on your hat, getting into a car. Good Style and Bad And when men take off their hats to a lady, many of them do it shameâ€" facedly. They hurry their hats back onto htier heads and seem relieved when the crdeal is over.
