NATHAN PHILLIPS He was Toronto's first Jewish mayor; he served longer than any other To- ronto mayor, and his 35 years on the City Council was a Toronto record. But he will be remembered best as the mayor who made To- ronto proud of itself. According to the Globe and Mail, .Mr. Phillips was mayor from 1955-62, when Toronto changed from a shuttered-on-Sunday prov- incial capital to a metropolis bristling with high-rise apartments, new hotels and cultural developments. Early in his first term he decided that Toronto needed a mayor who would go out and "dangle destiny at the people from the front steps of City Hall." In 1961 he was made a Mohawk chief by a band of 30 Indian chiefs in full re- galia at City Hall. His thatch of white hair, his close-cropped mustache, his fine features and his penetrating eyes behind horn-rimmed glasses were Leon H. Lewis Leon H. Lewis, a former attorney and past president of Tam-O-Shanter Country Club, died Jan. 8 at age 62. Mr. Lewis, a 1937 gradu- ate of the Wayne University Law School, was a member of the American and Michi- gan Bar Associations, and a former member of the Stan- dard City Club of Detroit. He was a native of St. Louis. He retired 10 years ago and began collecting an- tique English furniture for a local furniture firm. He resided at 18083 Wil- demere. He is survived by his wife, Shirley, a son, Steven and :daughter, Susan, both of 'Chicago, and two sisters, Mrs. Harry (Nadine) Sha- berman and Mrs. Arthur (Marion) Feldman of Or- ange, Calif.

Mother, you were one of our great- est moments. With our love, Bonnie and Debbie : f more familiar to Canadians than the features of some provincial premiers. One of Mr. Phillips' proudest claims was that he helped make Toronto the convention capital of North America by promoting new hotel facilities. Mr. Phillips' monument is already built. He con- ceived the idea of an inter- national competition which produced the world famous design by the late Viljo Rewell of Helsinki for the new City Hall. City Council unanimously named the civic area in front of the hall after him — Nathan Phillips Square. Mr. Phillips was a Mason, a member of the Canadian Bar Association and Bnai Brith.
