commercial course, the 49-year- old Mrs. Thompson handles dic tation and typing for her hus ‘band, employing a brand of shorthand she developed her self.

This being her third general’! election in four years, her fam- ily (the youngest child is five, oldest 24) is pretty well accus- tomed to the disruption of rou- tine that a campaign causes,

Five of the -children were born in Africa after the Thomp- ;sons went to Ethiopia in 1943 where Mr. Thompson was head of a nine-member team of doc- ‘tors, nurses and teachers that helped the country after libera- tion from the Italians.

She has said their family life was much more organizeed in Ethiopia than since their return to Canada. But although she ad- mits she was ‘just a little weary’’ when the Nov. 8 elec- tion was announced, she doesn't complain, feeling she could hardly urge- women generally to take an active part in politics if she didn’t set an example. ,

Mrs- Thompson likes to sew and garden but those sort of activities are almost forgotten when a campaign is on.

And unlike the wives of other party leaders, she doesn’t rule

career of her. own. Asked if she might ever seek election her self, she says she might, ‘‘but it will be many, many years in the future.”
