J. Helen CARSCALLEN
By Margaret
NORQUAY
Friday,
August 22, 2003 - Page A18
Social worker, professor, broadcaster, actress. Born January
12, 1916, in Chengtu, China. Died May 28, in Toronto, of natural
causes, aged 87.
Helen CARSCALLEN (the J stood for Jane) was born of missionary
parents in China, and came to Canada with her family when she
was 10. She graduated from the University of Toronto in 1938
with a B.A. in the newly established program in sociology. Graduating
during the war, her early jobs included work as a social worker
with the Big Sisters Association, an agency that worked with
disadvantaged young girls, and three years directing recreation
for the employees of a large munitions factory, most of whom
were women. At the age of 30, she decided she would change her
career about every 10 years -- and managed to do it. In 1945,
she went to Toronto Children's Aid, where her work in public
relations engendered an interest in mass media.
In 1956 she joined the public affairs department of the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation. Her previous work experience had led
to a deep interest in the quality of women's lives and in 1962
she became senior program organizer for Take Thirty, a daily
afternoon television show aimed at middle class, stay-at-home
women. It was not a program filled with food, fashion and household
décor, but one that gave women something for the mind and alerted
them to issues of social concern. A weekly discussion called
Fighting Words presented a debate then raging about the need
to change federal divorce laws. A much admired series, Under
One Roof, looked at the whole family life cycle from courtship
to empty nest; for this Helen recruited emerging author June
CALLWOOD to research and write several programs. Another series,
unique for its time, took Helen to Japan to bring back insights
from a culture then unfamiliar to most Canadians. Adrienne
CLARKSON,
co-opted initially to review Canadian novels, became a host of
the show. Convinced women's lives were worthy of examination,
Helen organized a national conference sponsored by the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation called the Real World of Women -- the
first of its kind in Canada. In 1966, at 49, Helen left broadcasting
to pursue graduate studies in sociology, her dissertation focusing
on the political machinations leading to the cancellation of
This Hour Has Seven Days. Helen then became a professor at Ryerson
University, teaching courses in communication. After 10 years
there, it was time for another change: this time to become an
actor.
Throughout each of her careers Helen maintained a passionate
interest in theatre, acting in amateur groups and taking courses
in acting and voice from George Luscombe, Dora Mavor Moore and
others. She toured with the New Play Society and worked with
Alumnae Theatre as actor, stage manager and producer. At 62,
she auditioned for Robin Philips and played the nurse in the
Stratford Festival's Uncle Vanya, which starred William Hutt,
Martha Henry and Brian Bedford. She then moved to television
and film, playing a variety of dramatic roles. At 81, she wrote
that now -- visually impaired and no longer able to read scripts
her ambition was to teach a series of seminars on multiple
careers for women. Illness unfortunately prevented her reaching
this goal.
Helen had a great capacity for Friendship. At a recent celebration
of her life, colleagues, Friends and family spoke of the debt
they owed her for the vision she gave them of their own unique
abilities. Nieces, nephews and some grand-nieces spoke movingly
about what a wonderful aunt she was -- how she never talked down,
always treated them as adults, wanting to know what they were
up to. Former colleagues talked about how Helen launched them
in their careers, persuading them to believe in themselves and
providing ongoing support. Helen gave something of herself to
each of us and we were all enriched.
Margaret is a friend of Helen.

Margaret Evelyn
SWINDEN
By Mark FRASER
Tuesday,
October 21, 2003 - Page A28
Wife, mother, grandmother, friend, volunteer. Born January 17,
1909, in Brantford, Ontario Died July 27, in Newmarket, Ontario,
of Alzheimer's disease, aged 94.
The last time I visited my grandmother in the nursing home she
was asleep and I knew she did not have much time left. I knelt
at the side of her bed grasping her hand, hoping that she would
wake up so that I could see her big, bright smile one last time.
She never woke up.
Margaret Evelyn
NORTHMORE was born in Brantford, Ontario, and
lived most of her life in Toronto. In her teens, she had gone
to work at Holt Renfrew; it was then that she met her future
husband, William
SWINDEN.
Margaret's father passed away at the beginning of the Depression,
when she was 21, so she went to work at Eaton's for $12 a week
to support her mother.
Margaret married William in 1937 and they raised one daughter,
Lynn; they lived in Leaside and later York Mills. In November,
1972, Margaret lost her husband suddenly, but, true to her character,
Margaret went on living life and moved to a new house directly
behind her daughter's home in Scarborough. The two homes had
connecting backyards so Margaret would always be close to her
four grandchildren: Mark, Bonnie, Ann-Marie and Katherine.
Margaret always put the well-being of others ahead of her own
that's why volunteer work was a part of her life for nearly 25
years. She never received any recognition or awards for this
work, nor did she seek any. She didn't do it for recognition
she did it because she cared.
Margaret volunteered with the Oriole York Mills church for several
years doing home visitation. Later, she volunteered for six years
at the Blythwood School swimming pool helping handicapped children.
When she was 71, she began volunteering at North Bridlewood public
school one day a week to help Grade 1 children with their reading.
She loved children and enjoyed her work at the school so much
that she stayed for 15 years. She was known as "Grandma
SWINDEN"
to countless children at the school over the years and she truly
loved the work.
At Halloween, Christmas and the end of the school year she would
take gifts or candies for all of the children in her class.
On her last day at school one year, the teacher had told the
children that this would be Grandma
SWINDEN's last day and that
she would be back after the summer. One boy approached her and
said, "You might be dead." The next fall she approached the same
boy again and said: "Michael, I made it!"
In addition to her volunteer work, Margaret was very active into
her 80s, working out three times a week at her health club, living
by herself very independently and still driving her car.
She had a busy social schedule with her many Friends and even
had a chance to meet Elton John, going to his concert in Toronto
with a backstage pass when she was 85.
Margaret lived her life with no regrets and often said that if
she could do it over again, she wouldn't change a thing. She
will always be remembered for her love of life, her generosity,
her laughter and the big, bright smile that never seemed to leave
her face.
Margaret had a sharp mind, a positive outlook on life and a wonderful
sense of humour.
Sadly, the ravages of Alzheimer's changed all that. It robbed
her of her dignity and her independence. It took her mind and
it took her memory. But it couldn't take her big, bright smile.
Mark FRASER is Margaret
SWINDEN's grand_son
