ROUCH o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2008-04-07 published
PLUMPTRE, Beryl Alyce (née ROUCH,) O.C.
With her family beside her, Beryl died peacefully in her own home as she wished on Friday, April 4, 2008, nine months shy of her 100th birthday. Articulate, sociable and elegant to the end, she was predeceased by her beloved husband Wynne, with whom she shared a varied and fascinating life of public and community service, combined with a strong sense of family, a love of travel and cultural pursuits, and a flair for entertaining second to none.
Born in 1908 in Melbourne, Australia, Beryl graduated from the Presbyterian Ladies College. Shortly after launching her career with the Bank of New South Wales, she won a scholarship to Cambridge University where she pursued graduate studies in economics with John Maynard Keynes. It was at Cambridge that she met Wynne who, having fixed his sights on her, had to sail to Australia to ensure she followed through on marriage plans. She was a devoted partner throughout his distinguished career, working by his side in posts at the University of Toronto, the Canadian Embassy in Washington, North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Paris, the Department of Finance in Ottawa and the University of Toronto at Scarborough, where she and Wynne presided over the flowering of the College during his tenure as its first full-time Principal.
Unfazed by the fact that women in the professions were still uncommon, she established her own credentials as an economist, working with agencies such as the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, the Tariff Board and the Royal Commission on Coastal Trading. She also became a fearsome consumer advocate, serving as National President of the Consumers Association of Canada from 1961 to 1966. She played a determining role in the establishment of a new federal department responsible for consumer affairs -- an effective but short-lived voice for Canadian consumers that subsequent governments soon muffled by burying it deep within the bureaucracy.
She also spoke up for consumer interest as a member of the now-defunct Economic Council of Canada. Then, in 1973, she was appointed to head the Food Prices Review Board, where she insisted that she would report not to the government, but directly to the people of Canada. With her no-nonsense attitude and independent spirit, she earned the respect and gratitude of Canadians across the country by speaking up for their interests and "telling it like it is," without regard for bureaucratic inertia or efforts at ministerial interference. This appointment was followed by another as Vice-Chair of the Anti-Inflation Board, from which she resigned to care for Wynne prior to his death in 1977.
Not content with retirement, she took up arms against forces threatening to destroy the character of the village of Rockcliffe Park by getting elected Reeve and serving as a member of the Regional Council of Ottawa-Carleton. Beryl also served on several corporate boards, including Dominion Stores and Canada Life, and as chair of various non-profit organizations, including the Vanier Institute of the Family and the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
An incomparable hostess, avid gardener and bird lover, she leaves behind her adored and caring children, Judith and Tim, along with their spouses, Alex WEDDERSPOON and Barbara LASKIN. A proud grandmother to Caroline and her husband David CLARKE of Vancouver, Michael WEDDERSPOON and his wife Marisa of Edinburgh, and Bora and Genny PLUMPTRE of Ottawa, she took enormous pleasure in their accomplishments, many of which she aided and abetted. She was a delighted great-grandmother to Zachary, India, Scarlett, Sylvie and Layla. Her loss is deeply felt by her devoted caregiver, Tess TAPECERIA, who was a great help in her last years, by her nephew Peter ROUCH and his wife Anne in Australia, and by many loyal Friends and former colleagues.
Her family expresses deep appreciation to the wonderful Doctor Frances KILBERTUS, her colleagues at the Elizabeth Bruyère Health Centre, to the Community Care Access Centre, and to caregivers from St. Elizabeth Health Care for the compassionate and professional care they provided to Beryl in her latter days.
A memorial service will take place at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, 125 MacKay Street, Ottawa, on Wednesday, April 9 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Elizabeth Bruyère Health Centre (SCO Health Service Foundation, 613-562-6319) or the Kidney Foundation of Canada would be appreciated.

ROUCHE o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2008-04-10 published
Trudeau's anti-inflation watchdog was a Nader of the True North
Forthright, opinionated, blunt and self-confident, she took on Ottawa on her own terms and triumphed during the Egg-gate scandal of 1974. 'No one,' she said, 'looks out for the consumer'
By Sandra MARTIN, Page S10
Beryl PLUMPTRE - her name conjures images of a headmistress at a jolly girls boarding school from the 1930s, the kind of woman who wore lisle stockings and sensible shoes and tolerated no nonsense. In truth, the only aspect that the elegantly coiffed and garbed Mrs. PLUMPTRE shared with that caricature was her antipathy to nonsense wherever she found it - in government, the media, marketing boards and, especially, in the pronouncements of her nemesis, agriculture minister Eugene Whelan.
She was named Canadian newsmaker of the year in 1975, a considerable feat for a woman who hailed from Australia and who, until she was appointed chair of the Food Prices Review Board at the age of 64, had spent most of her adult life as a homemaker and a volunteer.
Her topping of the newsworthy polls coincided with her tenure on the government payroll, a tenure that had seen her ridiculed for the size of her salary - this was before the term "employment equity" had been conceived - her mandate and her effectiveness.
In an editorial in August of 1973, The Globe and Mail demanded rhetorically: "What in heaven's name possessed the Government to pick Mrs. PLUMPTRE for this job. Did it never intend the board to be anything more than what an opposition member of Parliament called it some months ago - a half-baked sham?"
A little more than two years later, The Globe allowed that she "has not turned out the way we [or the government] thought she was going to turn out." The editorial went on to praise her for attacking federal and provincial government ineptitude with regard to rising consumer prices and inflation, and called for the federal government to extend her term by another two years.
As sometimes happens, the government of the day failed to heed this august advice and rolled the Food Prices Review Board into a new agency, the Anti-Inflation Board, headed by Jean-Luc Pépin, with Mrs. PLUMPTRE as vice-chair. Nobody challenged Mr. Pepin's $55,000 salary. As for Mrs. PLUMPTRE, she refused an inflationary increase from the $40,000 she had negotiated three years earlier.
The person who never changed his mind about Mrs. PLUMPTRE was her old foe, Eugene Whelan. As agriculture minister in Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government, he represented farmers and favoured marketing boards, while Mrs. PLUMPTRE advocated for cheaper food for consumers, and wanted marketing boards dismantled to encourage competition. "She was a snob," Mr. Whelan insisted in a telephone interview this week, saying she looked down on him because he was a farmer. "As much as I disagreed with her and her outlook on people and society, she was not dumb," he allowed before lapsing into a rant about how people should be more concerned about the price of energy than the cost of food.
Beryl Alyce ROUCHE was born in Melbourne, Australia, at the end of 1908, the younger child and only daughter of Edward Charles and Alyce (née) ROUCHE. Her father was in the lumber business her mother, a homemaker, was prone to periods of ill health. Beryl, who was educated at Presbyterian Ladies College, is said to have acquired her initial interest in economics from her older brother, Alan. After high school, she attended the University of Melbourne, graduating with a bachelor of commerce degree in For the next two years, she worked for the Bank of New South Wales. After she won a scholarship to Cambridge University, the bank granted her a two-year leave of absence - a doubly huge feat for a woman in those days. She arrived in England in 1936 to study economics at a time when John Maynard Keynes was teaching at the university and about to publish his pivotal work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.
She had more than economics on her mind after meeting Arthur Fitzwalter (Wynne) PLUMPTRE, a graduate student in economics from Toronto. They became engaged, but Ms. ROUCHE was called home to Australia by a family crisis (involving difficulties in her parents' marriage or in her mother's health or, more likely, in both.) Mr. PLUMPTRE finished his degree and, after a back-and-forth correspondence with his beloved, he made the lengthy journey to Australia to claim his bride. They were married on May 21, They travelled to Canada because Mr. PLUMPTRE had an academic appointment at the University of Toronto. The PLUMPTREs and their children - Barbara (1941) and Timothy (1943) - lived in Washington during the Second World War because he was on the staff of the Canadian embassy. He was director of the Washington division of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board and a delegate to international monetary and financial conferences that were instrumental in the establishment of the United Nations. They later lived in Paris while he worked for North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
In the late 1940s, they spent two years in Toronto, where Mr. PLUMPTRE worked as associate editor of Saturday Night magazine, before moving to Ottawa as head of the economic division of what was then called the Department of External Affairs. He went to the Ministry of Finance in 1954 as an assistant deputy minister and executive director of the International Monetary Fund.
These were the years when Mrs. PLUMPTRE was preoccupied with raising her children and supporting her husband's career as he rose through the diplomatic and financial ranks of the federal civil service. Nevertheless, she worked briefly as a research officer for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board and later as an economic consultant to the Tariff Board and the Royal Commission on Coasting Trade.
She was a committed volunteer for organizations such as the Children's Aid Society, the Family Service Agency, the Canadian Welfare Council and especially the Consumer's Association of Canada. During the five years she served as president, from 1961 to 1966, she developed a national profile as a no-nonsense and ferocious advocate, sort of Ralph Nader of the True North.
Barbara remembers helping out her busy mother by doing the grocery shopping with her father, and bringing home sausages larded with fat for dinner. Outraged by the substandard sausages, Mrs. PLUMPTRE later confronted the shoddy producer, waving the offending specimens and demanding higher standards.
Mrs. PLUMPTRE's advocacy helped press the Trudeau government to establish the Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, making Canada one of the first nations to give a seat at the cabinet table to consumers alongside the interests of agriculture, industry, mines and other producer groups. Ron Basford was the inaugural minister.
Her husband retired as assistant deputy finance minister in 1965, two years after he was passed over for the deputy's job in favour of Robert Bryce, who had also studied at Cambridge under John Maynard Keynes. Mr. PLUMPTRE then became the second principal of Scarborough College, a satellite campus that had been established at the University of Toronto in 1964. Mrs. PLUMPTRE moved into Miller Lash House with her husband on the Scarborough campus and took on the considerable duties expected of the principal's wife while completing the last year of her mandate as Consumer's Association of Canada president.
In 1968, she was appointed president of the Vanier Institute of the Family, a non-profit agency that had been created with a $6-million endowment from the federal government. The institute was modelled on recommendations from the proceedings of the Canadian Conference of the Family, which had been organized by Georges Vanier and his wife, Pauline, at Rideau Hall in 1964 during his tenure as governor-general. She succeeded neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield. At the time, she was a member of the Economic Council of Canada, the Ontario Economic Council and the Consumer's Association of Canada, which had just changed its name to the Canadian Consumer Council. Not surprisingly, given her consumer advocacy roots, she insisted that the focus of the Vanier Institute "must be thoroughly in touch with family life of all kinds, not the ideal of the family, but the reality of the family as people live it."
The PLUMPTREs moved back to Ottawa in 1972 when his term as principal ended, as coincidentally did hers at the Vanier Institute. But she was not out of the public eye for long: Mr. Trudeau appointed her chair of the Food Prices Review Board in May of 1973. She was 64.
In announcing the appointment, Herb Gray, then minister of consumer affairs, stressed that the board would be independent and have the power to summon witnesses: and require them to give evidence under oath. Other members included Gordon Burton, an agricultural economist and rancher from Alberta; Louis Lorrain, executive vice-president of the United Paper Workers International from Quebec; Evelyn Root, a journalist from British Columbia; and W. Grant Thompson, a chartered accountant from Nova Scotia. The board's job was to monitor food prices, conduct investigations of unusual price increases, and produce quarterly reports and make them publicly available. Responding to a question at a press conference, she said that recommendations would be submitted to the public and consumers affairs minister. "Then it is up to the public. That's where the power lies."
In the beginning, she withstood attacks in the House of Commons, even from the party that had appointed her. "We could hire a preacher cheaper," a Liberal member of Parliament mused in June of 1973, proposing prayer as a more effective means to lowering food prices. The New Democrats wanted her fired and the board abolished. Gradually, though, as she hammered away at price inflation and produced quarterly reports, her credibility increased. As she observed: "The Department of Agriculture looks out for the producers, trade and commerce looks out for the processors, but no one looks out for the consumer."
And then there was Egg-gate, the rotten-egg scandal of 1974. The Department of Agriculture, headed by Mr. Whelan, established the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency to set provincial production quotas and prices. The farmers got higher prices, but consumers had to absorb those increases. Egg production grew rapidly, but egg consumption went down, at least partly because of cost, and the agency itself soon ran into trouble, racking up a $10-million debt.
By the end of September of 1974, food inspectors had decreed that some 28 million eggs stored in warehouses were rotten and needed to be destroyed. The wastage, which agriculture officials tried to minimize, prompted a public showdown between Mrs. PLUMPTRE, who was waging battle on behalf of consumers, and Mr. Whelan, who was supporting the egg producers. The controversy changed public and press attitudes about Mrs. PLUMPTRE. From a scapegoat, she had become a champion, and there were calls to extend her mandate.
Nevertheless, Mr. Trudeau terminated the Food Prices Review Board, set up the Anti-Inflation Board and invited Mrs. PLUMPTRE to serve under Mr. Pépin. She refused the job at first, but was persuaded by consumer affairs minister André Ouellet to change her mind. No matter how cynically the government had acted in appointing her to the Food Prices Review Board in 1973, it now wanted her on the Anti-Inflation Board because of the credibility she had built up with the public.
After only eight months at the Anti-Inflation Board, she announced her resignation, citing personal reasons. Her husband, who had been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer in 1960, was very ill, and she had only agreed to work at the Anti-Inflation Board long enough to see it and its policies established. Wynne died in A little more than a year later, she accepted an invitation to sit on the board of Dominion Stores. "You're not going to suggest I've sold out just because I'm on the payroll of a food chain," she said in an interview with the Toronto Star in May of 1978 after her appointment was announced. "I was on the payroll of the government and you wouldn't say then I sold out. I'll tell you the government didn't think so, anyway." And that - forthright, opinionated and self-confident - was Mrs. PLUMPTRE. To ensure the reporter got the message, she added: "I'm a professional person and I get paid for giving professional advice - but what I get paid as a director is not going to make me a millionaire."
She also served on the boards of Canada Life, Canada Permanent Trust and Hollinger, the company that Conrad Black once controlled. She told her son she resigned from Hollinger because, as a director, she didn't feel she was getting enough information about the company's operations and plans.
Having been a high-profile public appointee, she finally sought public office in local politics as the reeve of Rockcliffe Park, a position she held from 1978 to 1985.
She spent her last years gardening, bird watching and keeping an eye on public and consumer affairs.
Beryl Alyce PLUMPTRE was born in Melbourne, Australia, on December 27, 1908. She died of pneumonia at home in Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa, on April 4, 2008. She was 99. Predeceased by her husband, Wynne, she is survived by her children Barbara and Tim. She also leaves several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

CLARK, Alexander Barry " Arch"
On Wednesday, July 2, 2008, Barry succumbed to a 12 month battle with lung and brain cancer which was diagnosed in June of 2007 in Victoria, British Columbia. He was 62 years of age. Since September of 2007 when he was able to return to Saint Thomas, he has been a patient at the Saint Thomas Elgin General Hospital. The wonderful team of Doctor Joel KEENLEYSIDE, Doctor Paula DONAHUE and the exceptional nurses on Units C and D prolonged his life and he was able to enjoy memorable times with family, former teachers and school chums. The family sincerely thanks the afore-mentioned and those who brightened his days with visits and outings. Barry was born in 1933 while his parents, the late Stanley and Agnes (McCALLUM) CLARK, lived in Dutton, Ontario. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Saint Thomas where Barry attended Scott Street School and later excelled in academia, basketball and volleyball at CECI and Saint Thomas Collegiate Institute. He was fortunate to be able to attend University of Toronto on a full scholarship and graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He entered the computer field at an exciting time and most of his career as an analyst was spent with International Business Machines Corporation - in Toronto, Montreal, Saint_John, Winnipeg and Calgary. Laterally, he spent his life in beautiful Victoria. He was an avid reader, a lover of jazz and he always kept fit by working out in the gym. Barry's older siblings will hold his memory close to their hearts - Bob (Mary Ellen) CLARK of the Philadephia area, Barb (Ken) TUFF of Saint Thomas, Bill (Patti) CLARK of Toronto and Newfoundland, and Bevin CLARK of Brockville. A special cousin, Doris (Stride) ROULSTON of London, will also hold him dear.

CROWE, Mary Sarah (née ROULSTON)
Mary peacefully finished her worldly travels March 4, 2008 at the McCall Center in Toronto. Born in Toronto, in 1921, she had left the security of her home and family in 1942 to enter the workforce as part of the war effort with the British Mission in Washington, D.C. While there, in 1946, she started work with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization where she met "his nibs" Francis Xavier CROWE.
After leaving the States she spent the time between 1952 and 1962 in Rome, Italy working for the F.A.O.. Mary, a Presbyterian, married "his nibs" during this time in the Vatican in Saint Peter's Basilica.
Following the death of "his nibs" in 1962 she returned to Toronto to settle down with her sister Susie and husband Willie.
May, as many called her, settled back here to enjoy a life of work, at Popsicle Industries, and as well, time for extensive travel, theatre, and many volunteer hours at charities and non profit organizations. Through the next 44 years, she maintained and cultivated Friendships to the enjoyment of many a lucky person. Always a lady and only kind words to offer, Mary set an example for many, both her peers and young people who were fortunate to know her. She always had a place in her heart for animal welfare and was of constant support to various groups involved in this area.
Throughout her life she fondly recalled both the times and people of Washington and Rome whom she had cherished so much. Mary was always proud of her Irish roots right up to the time she "ups and died".
Mary is survived by family in Australia, the United States and Ireland. She will always be remembered by scores of Friends and acquaintances.
A gathering to celebrate Mary's life will be held at the Ridley Funeral Home, 3080 Lakeshore Blvd. W. (between Islington and Kipling Aves., at 14th Street, 416-259-3705) at 3: 00 p.m. Saturday March 8, 2008.

HEALEY, Evelyn Annie (née WILSON)
Wife, mother, nana, teacher, author, driver, adventurer. Born December 6, 1918, in Darlington, England. Died December 20, 2007, in Toronto of uterine cancer, aged 89.
By Catherine ROUSE, Page L10
To say that Evelyn was a survivor would be an understatement.
Born Evelyn Annie WILSON, she experienced many tragic events in her life, but she didn't just survive. She loved life. A more apt description would be adventurer.
Evelyn's father was killed by a sniper during the First World War, before she was born. She and her mother immigrated to Canada when Evelyn was 8. At age 16, she was left to fend for herself when her mother died at 36.
Fortunately there was Art, her beloved. She was his "girl next door" in Toronto from the time they were 12, and when Evelyn's mother died she turned to him for comfort. Even though the Second World War separated them for a time, they married in 1945 and started their life together. They had six children, five girls and one boy.
One of the greatest tragedies of Evelyn's life was the loss of her only son, Glen, to leukemia when he was 7. Tears sprang to her eyes whenever his name was mentioned. She was never the same after his death, but her fortitude saw her through.
Evelyn thrived on adventure. Family road trips, camping and annual visits to the Canadian National Exhibition and the circus were a treasured part of our childhood.
Nothing could keep Evelyn down. She learned to swim and ride a bicycle in her 60s, went whitewater rafting and learned French in her 70s and went tubing on the lake at my sister's cottage at 82.
Evelyn worked part-time as we were growing up but was mostly a housewife, a term she was proud of - although keeping house was definitely not her passion. She was too busy moving from one adventure to another, always busy at Hilltop Chapel, a non-denominational church she and Art helped to establish. Sunday afternoons would find one of the chapel families at our house for our traditional lunch of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
When Art passed away in 1983, Evelyn was heartbroken. She knew she would never love another man the way she had loved Art. But life went on and Evelyn kept busy, teaching medical secretarial procedures at night school and even publishing her own Canadian textbook because she felt the U.S. text didn't accurately apply to the Canadian course she taught.
Evelyn loved to drive and she did so until last fall, when she became too weak.
Her grandchildren remember her as the "cool" nana, the one to whom you could say just about anything. Her daughters remember her as a strong-willed, free-spirited, independent woman, and we are proud to say that we picked up those traits.
Catherine ROUSE is Evelyn's daughter.
