Picketinx on be I boring bus. inc", so the Weston postal work. ers decided to have I barb-que to liven things up. Not only that, they even had live entertainment. Postal workers on strike Eddie Rogers, 1 Scottish clans- man from up to boot. marched up and down the picket lines, blowing bagpipes. The -iettircat.vievs have set up a trailer across from the post office on Weston Rd., and made Donald Brum, M, had two loves - children and music When he was 16, Mr. Brum first served as an organist, and had been organist and ehoirmast. or at St. John's Anglican Church for the past 13 years. He made his living doing what he loved best: teaching music. Starting out in Maple, Ont., Mr. Brum moved on the Western Senior and Junior Public schools, where he became head of the music department. He transfer- red to Lambton Park public school in the fall of 1967. Donald E. Bram, after being interested in music for most of his life, was involved with it up to the time of his death, Wed. nesday, July M, at the age of 44. His interest in the students did not end with the school day, however. He took young choirs to Kiwanis music festivals and churches for public appearances. A close friend of his. Grant Gil. lespie, York's director of educa, tion, said that "Donald Brum was very interested in teaching boys and girls the joys of music - not just as students but also as people. He put in countless hours of overtime; time that many oth- er busy people keep to them- selves. If Don didn't have the time. he made time." Mr. Brum received his Bache- lor of Music from the University of Toronto in 1947. and his A.R.C,O.

They also attract rats, mos. quitoes. rucoons. skunks. and "other undesirables.“ Alderman Gould says . . . The cost of improving roads. sidewalks. curbs and storm sea- ers has been more than halved. and a fixed rate of $13 per foot has been established Mr. Gould urges that all residents wanting to take advantage of it should get signatures on petitions, and pre- sent them to him. Several groups of interested ratepayers . have already contact- ed him, he says. "all of them from the west-end". He partiew larly mentioned Pelmo Park. Maple Leaf and the area south of Lawrence. Although they will hate to wait until the new rates ttre effective. (January. 1989). early response will help him establish priorities. "We will have limited funds," he declares.

He was in. strumental in the founding of the Weston Concert Association. which held monthly concerts at Weston Collegiate, From 1942 to 1945, Mr. Brum served in the RCAF. His stster. Mrs. Marion Fosbury, said a char. al group had been set up by the force, to sing on the radio. and that Mr. Brum was a member of this group. Mrs. Fosbury describes her brother as being "very active. He lived 75 years in his 44. He had no time for anything but music." Weston had been Mr. Brum'si residence for 11 years. He 'lk") ried the late Barbara Williamson', in 1957, and is survived by his. father, William Brum, and his sister, Marion. The service was conducted last Saturday morning at St. John's Anglican, by the Rector, H. J. Scuse followed by interment at Westminster Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, his family gratefully acknowledged dona- tions to the Ontario Heart Fund. Some of his students at Lambton Park last week passed the hat among themselves and contribut- ed funds to the Heart Research Foundation in the memory of Mr. Brum. His death occurred July 24, of a heart attack, at the home of friends. North York council approved in principle a City of Kitchener resolution calling for a province- wide ban of disposable pop bot- tles. Surprisingly the endorsement came' without a peep from any of the aldermen. said all the people on Culford from 401 to Falstaff home ab ready signed the petition and work to improve their street will begin next spring. Also ex pected in sign up are the resi- dents on Blue Springs Rd. Gould, whose telephone number is 24L 6956, held a meeting with them last week. N. York wants dispbsable pop bottles banned too Hwys. 27 & 400 escape routes in case of disaster Some time in the future it may be necessary to get as many people as possible out of Metro Toronto, The reason could be any one of the events that come under the category of a natural disaster or it could come about as the result of non-nuclear war. In storage waiting tor in stallation are soieral hundred signs prepared by Metro gm cmment which would indicate the best route out of town for the citizens of Metro when the time came to go.

PREPARED " POLICE A system of evacultion routes wu prepared by Met. m police department and trat. fie officials in 1962 and for the most part appe'lu to hold together " an )emergency plln ready for uu om Metro Jriiittttaagiriiaes 'til Except for the edioumeu of waiting, the postmen seem to be in good spirits. The press, they say,'is concen- trating on presenting the enor- mity of their wage demand, and neglect important features like working conditions and fringe benefits, for which they are also striking. "ln some places. like the New Dominion Centre, the post uttier doesn't even have washrooms," says Art Liper. of Rexdale. He tells of the bad conditions exist- ing in the Weston office until recently, when summer tempera- tures in the basement, where they worked, reached 120 de. grees.’ Negotiations in Ottawa are Itre- stly dealing tsith this aspect of thew demands. The money question is, how an. the most important one. They hare a page of the Daily star up on their walls, and a circled paragraph that says: '"We make a little mer a hum dred Idollarsl a week to take home‘. said one mailman, lean~ imp. against a parking lot fence “uh fellow “orkers near the Bay-Front street postal terminal". This is tar from being the case. Weston letter carriers claim. Although their wage de. mand is high, most of it goes on income tax. One letter carrier, with three dependants, earns $84 a week to take home. More than $100 a month goes on educations, most of it income tax. Presently they are getting no strike pay from the union. If a man is really in great financial difficulties, "the union will tied him over," but that's all. They are being tempted to pick up their pay checks for the two or three days they worked before the strike began, but that means they will have to cross their own picket lines. "But by the time a whole month's deductions are subtracted from the two days' pay. there will be nothing left. We won't pick them up says Art Liner. Although they have been get: ting little information of strike progress from Ottawa, their spirits remain good. Stunts like bar-b-ques and pipers help to relieve the monotony of pound- ing a 75-foot beat. _ York recently also called on the province to outlaw the non returnable glass containers be. cause cowncillors believe that they are dangerous to children as “ell as being costly refuse. “For a while there," said Ald- erman Jim Trimbee yesterday, “we had two men going around picking up disposable bottles.

Etobicoke. it seems. is the only “intend municipality that favors production and sale of the dis- posable bottles. Last week its roads and traffic committee re- fused to go along with the pro- posed ban. Controller David Lae. ey said at the time: "It's just an idiot minority that is heaving these bottles around. It makes as much sense to ban bottles as it uould to "han cars because some idiots kill themselves in them." seis around to installing the toadside signs. Tuo reasons have been gnu cn as to why the Signs hate not been installed. One is that officials did not want to disturb or alarm the populace.
