Mr. Curtis, who will be 70 this month, was taught by a regi- mental sergeant - -major at a base in France during the First World War. He has been an installer with} the Bell in Toronto before the war, but it was as soldier in the Canadian Corps of Signals that he first donned his climbing spurs. AUSPICIOUS START When he returned from France, after a gassing that left his eyesight slightly im- paired, he found the same ser- geant-major had also rejoined the Bell. It was a happy reunion for the men and an auspicious start to a telephone career that was to continue uninterrupted. Mr. Curtis and his wife Kath- leen, who live at 79 Colborne street 'west, last week attended a retirement party in his honor. Among the 100 employees who attended to pay tribute to Mr. Curtis--who since 1930 has held the keyjob of storekeeper at the company's Taufton road west stockroom--were his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Closs, ang their daughter, Gail 9. t t! that might be said constituted the company's first attempt at) public relations.
