Heart trouble forced him to go on sick leave last March. He joined CP as an office boy ih 1920 at the age of 12, shortly after his widowed mother had brought to Toronto from his Lytham, Laficashire, birthplace. There was no time for formal schooling, so- he taught himself from books in his spare time. the early 1930s he was chief CP's cable service from the United Kingdom. His copper- plate typing afd his technical ability in turning brief cables into readable newspaper stories won him the reputation as the fastest North American cable extender of his day. *He worked in Montreal and) New York but most of his life was spent in the Toronto bureau where he served as deskman, rewrite man and filing editor. HELPED TRAIN OTHERS During his Toronto years his speed and accuracy rubbed off on Others and the owners of any well-known bylines--some Fj them publishers and senior editors today--owed their early training to him.

Norman Smith, editor of the Ottawa Journal, Mr. Smith wrote: "When I first worked for The Canadian Press as a very ju- nior cable editor, I remembered being very frightened of Mr. Livesay. He seemed auster. "Tt was not long, howver, be- fore Harry Eccles, who was my boss, showed me that the Chief Was~'t the old snapping turtle he seemed.

" 'Getting my hair cut, sir. "What! On office time?'" "Well, sir. It grows on. of- fice time.' "' As a newsfeatures editor, Mr. Eccles turned out most of more than 25,000 fillers used in the service im recent years, ex- hausting mountains of material to produce the two- or three- liners editors used to fill short spaces in their newspapers. Mr. Eccles once hoped to write a {book about fillers when he re- | tired. a" There was another hope HE jwanted to fulfil.

They'll probably keep on tell- ing them--but "old Tom" won't be with them. He died Tuesday of a heart attack at the age of 74 in the city where, as a politi- cal journalist, he helped make the Parliamentary Press Gal- lery an institution. At the time of his death he was correspondent for the Vic- toria Colonist and the Saint John, N.B., Evening Times- Globe. Funeral services will be held Friday at Perpetual Help Rothan Catholic Church here. When he first appeared on the scene in 1925 as a staff writer in the press gallery for The Ca- nadian Press, he was a gradu- ate in law with a liking fur poli- ties and the people engaged in it. Tom made friends on both sides of the political fence, news contacts he developed and used Bennett's office whenever he wanted an interview or a chat. rege g Ms was dressing the} part of the sober-minded parlia- mentary journalist -- severe black suits and hats.
