It was conducted by Arthur Tonkin on 17 March, 1988 and there are two tapes. George Jeffery was born in South Australia in 1920, and after completing a Junior Certificate at Perth Boys High School, joined the Police Department as an office boy in 1935. He was then a police cadet until 1938 when he became an apprentice chemical plumber with Cresco Fertilisers. After brief service in the Army during the War, he was manpowered to return to Cresco where he later became a journeyman. Active on the executive of the Plumbers Union, George Jeffery became a member of the State Executive of the ALP in 1945, and President of the Midland District Council from 1952. In 1956, George Jeffery was elected to the Parliament of Western Australia for the Suburban Province of the Legislative Council. He was defeated in 1962. George Jeffery viewed his years in the Parliament with mixed feelings. He felt electoral reform was needed and whilst there had been positive aspects to the experience, it had proved a disruption to his working life and had adversely affected his relationship with some people. / • __ .1 •j. • • low, I..-- I , VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT TAPE ONE SIDE ONE AT This is an interview with George Jeffery on the 17th of March 1988. George, would you like to tell me your full name and your date of birth, please? JEFFERY Yes. George Edward Jeffery, born on the 5th of September 1920 at Tumby Bay in South Australia, about thirty mile north of Port Lincoln. AT Thanks, and your mother's name? JEFFERY Mary Dora Jeffery, nee Fife, and my father was Charles Victor Jeffery. His father was the harbourmaster at Victor Harbour in South Australia, famous seafaring family in South Australia. AT And do you have any brothers or sisters? JEFFERY Yes, one brother who's deceased, Ivan, who died five years ago. AT Was he older or younger? JEFFERY Younger, five years younger. [It] was one of those tragic things; he'd had a major heart surgery and five years afterwards he picked up a virus and the only thing that could have cured him was penicillin, and the only thing he was allergic to was penicillin, therefore he died which was sad, tragic. And one sister, married to a chap called Arthur Loughton - they live in Queensland. He's fairly well known as an artist over there. He's retired now, of course. That's the family. AT Where did you go to school? JEFFERY JEFFERY Well, I started one year in Tumby Bay in South Australia. Then we came back to Western Australia where my mother had lived, as a child and a young woman. We came back here and I then went to Mount Hawthorn Primary School in the days of Louis A.A. Lutz, famous old educator, magnificent man. AT He was the headmaster, was he? JEFFERY Yes. Then I went to Plympton School in Fremantle. My father opened Woolworths Bulk Store in Fremantle about 1930, I think it was 1930. Then back to Mount Hawthorn and from there to Perth Boys, later on Perth Technical College. AT How many years did you go to Perth Boys? JEFFERY Three. AT Three years. Do you remember any teachers there? JEFFERY Oh yes. I had the best and I'm not being smart when I say that. Tommy Chandler headmaster; Ted Huck was the deputy; Bill Skipworth was my class teacher in seventh; Jock Campbell in eight, who ended up in the art dept; and - in ninth Bill Potts. And Ted Huck but he was transferred. Ted Huck mainly; but there were a couple of Potts there at Perth Boys. There was Pud Stallwood. You take the sort of blokes they had; Pud Staliwood; Dettman, [who] ended up Director of Education; Tinny McKail; Roy Grace, the crippled one; the ginger headed Grace; a bloke called Turnbull. A fellow was in the paper the other day, Gerry Appleton, was it? Used to be the State champion sprinter. He was in the paper the other day. He was eighty years of age and he retired as principal of Narrogin. We had the greatest staff of any school in Australia, I'd say, you know, for a Government school. AT So you left there about the age of fifteen? JEFFERY Yes. JEFFERY 3 AT And you mentioned technical school? JEFFERY Well, I didn't go straight to tech, no. I went in the Police Department as an office boy. I was a bloody fool really, but we're looking back in retrospect now. You always - when you're fifteen and the world's an oyster. I went to work in the Police Department and I was there about a year when they brought in the police cadet system which they now. AT So you became a cadet? JEFFERY Yes. AT And how long were you a cadet? JEFFERY Well, till July 1938. I was in the Commissioner's office. AT What age would you have been? JEFFERY When I left I would have been approaching eighteen, because I would have been eighteen in September. And the reason I left [was] because the money wasn't good enough, and with the death of my father two years before economics just didn't allow me to carry on, because there were no grand schemes then for widows with families.
