When Mrs. Donnelly and Mrs. Beatrice Bryant arrived later in the evening, they reported on the distribution of leaflets at an all-parties candidates' meeting at Aurora. The sheets urged voters to ascertain from candi- dates their parties' stand on three questions of paramount importance. They pertained to the war in Vietnam, recognition by Canada of the Peoples’ Re- public of China and the seating of China in the UN; and the re- moval of nuclear weapons from Canadian soil. Members present decided to participate in further dissemin- ation of these leaflets to help arouse nwareness of the urgen- cy of these external affairs problems.

The change is part of a Bell Canada Extended Area Service nrogram which is being intro- there”. His desire to see to his cus- tomers’ interests has always been part of Mr. Neal’s business philosophy, a philosophy not al- ways that easy to maintain, es- pecially when his not-so-cons- cientious customers phoned at all hours of the night and Sun- day to inquire about a noise in their new car, or some other W ,suspectedi fault. The change is part of a Bell Canada Extended Area Service program which is being intro- duced in Toronto suburban communities. Phase one, which afl’ects all exchanges surround- ing the city proper will go into effect on November 28 of this year. The second phase, affect- ing Richmond Hill, is scheduled for about a year later. By JIM IRVING In an age where it’s almost considered a status symbol to be dissatisfied with your job, or to lament for what might have been, William James Neal, 324 Centre Street East, must seem something of an anachronism. ‘ “I’ve always liked my work”,‘ said Mr. Neal, who retired this month after 44 years in the car business, 35 of them in Rich- mond Hill as Dodge-Chrysler dealer. “1 never found anything I’d like to do better, and I don't know anybody whbse job I would have wanted. William Neal Doesn't Take His "I've always enjoyed life", the father of five sons continued, “and I think I’ve had all the good kicks out of it. . . . I haven’t made a-million. but I'm all right". Mr. Neal's bright, blue eyes readily back him up on that, and even though he’s officially retired, it's easy to see that he’s not taking this new phase too seriously. In fact. he and his‘ wife still continue to operate the motor vehicle licence bur- eau. just as they have since “1933 or ’34". He’s open weekdays from 9 am to 7.30 pm, and Saturdays to 5 pm. “I should close at noon on Saturdays, but I like to give the people a chance”, Mr. Neal says. "i‘hey always got you, no matâ€" ter where you were", Mr. Neal said. However, he didn’t consider itx enough of an infringement on! his time to ever consider look-1 ing elsewhere for work, it was the kind of thing he had wanted‘ ever, since he had come back! from the war â€" “the one they‘ did the fighting in" â€" and god into the garage business in' Woodbridge in 1921 as a mach-E ‘anic. »; He had thought of going back to school, but felt he was too old, and his formal education stayed where it had been when the war started, half way through Humberside Collegiate in Toronto. “You can call me anything you want now, but not then. “I sometimes wonder where I would have gone if I had con- “If you didn’t go then (to war), they’d call you yellow", Mr. Neal recalled. “And you can’t call an 18-year-old yellow. WILLIAM NEAL Retires After 44 Years Hrim'i'l '1 '_O Shim 0(5er The start of his 44-year gamble began with the selling of Maxwells and Overlands â€" “In those days, if you wanted 1:01 sell a car, the agent gave you‘ one and you sold it". Later, thei Chrysler Corporation bought out the Maxwell Company. and ex- cept for the one Jack Benny still drives. became part of the history of that time. ‘He came to Richmond Hill in 1929, a young man in a young business, locating on Yonge Street South, next to where “The Liberal" now stands. and ‘the first lot in the then village Ito be subdivided. : Mr. Neal and his building re- [mained until last year when he moved to the other end of Yonge Street to make way for {a parking lot, but the area then ias it is now was the constant ‘site of cars. Only during Mr. Neal‘s tenure, they were mostly in the Chrysler mold, “stream- llined and full of pep”. Linued in school", Mr. Neal said. “Probably have been a teacher or something. But I think I got more out of life this way". Mr. Neal feels that one of the' reasons he never decided on something less hazardous than the car business, was that he had "a bit of a gambler in me".l “Chrysler pioneered stream- lining", Mr. Neal said, “with the‘ Plymouth Airflow in J932. That; was also the start of setting! engines in rubber, which took. the vibration out of the car". He said that Chrysler also pioneered the use of hydraulic brakes while other companies were still considering them. The pioneer spirit has a1:y Â¥ ways been strong with Mr. Neal and has helped him to move along readily and easily in thei! demanding car business. ‘You can’t be behind the YOU MAY PAY MORE THAN NECESSARY FOR A NEW CAR TOMPKINSfi THE ONLY CARS AND TRUCKS WITH A 5 YEAR OR 50000 MILE WARRANTY 884-7 381 PHONE 889-1915 395 YONGE STREET NORTH, RICHMOND HILL Right now we have a limited supply of brand new 1965 Chrysler Products which are being made available to the public on a “Best-Offer” basis.
