Reflect on beginnings
BY DIAIE.BOYES
As the thousands upon
thousands of Beta Sigma
Phi Sorority sisters all
over the world launch
themselves on the eve of
their 50th anniversary
year, the three Goderich
chapters, pause to reflect
how all this began.
Founded in Abilene,
.Kansas, in 1931 with just
sev.en members, the
organization was created
for young women in
search of cultural and
social activity.
Its purpose was to give
its members an intimate
touch with many lives
and many minds, to serve
as a precious guard
against narrowed
friendships and to act as
an enriching and in-
tensifying inspirational
experience in the ap-
preciation and enjoyment
of the'r� , be a•1 arts. '
Now, having grown to
over 250,000 active
members in almost every
non-Communist country
in the world, the
achievements and
contributions these
women have made to
their communities and to
themselves are con-
sidered by many to be
truly amazing.
Locally, Beta Sigma
Phi began. November 2,
1948 with 12 members. As
time went on, the women
advanced to further
Chapters through the
study of prescribed books
on culture and the arts,
until now there are three
chapters, comprising
over fifty women.

Phi was not putposally
intended to be a service
organization, locally the
children's ward at
Alexa ndr"a-Marine
General' Hospital has
always been one of the
women's pet projects.
Annually, support is
also given to the Cancer
Society and the Arthritis
Society. Participation in
local fashion shows,
parades and im-
provement projects have
also had the Sorority
mark.
Within "the individual
chapters, Halloween
parties, progressive
dinners, attendance at
plays, , picnics, raffles,

nually, the Spring Ball
make the girls some of
the . busiest • women in
town.
As the women go into
their 50th anniversary
year, they are reminded
that one of the objectives
of the organization is to
"make an art of living"
and for them, through
their, participation, it all
comes true.

A former Goderich
teacher who runs for "the
fun of it", was the first
woman to cross the finish
line Sunday in the
Hamilton marathon.
Audrey McCabe of RR1
Acton was the first out of
an estimated 40 women
and 147 out of 476 runners
overall who started the
race. She ran the 42.196,
kilometres (26 miles, 38,5
yards) in three hours and
29 minutes and 14
seconds.
Miss McCabe, who is a
counsellor at Britannia
Secondary School in
Mississauga and who also
teaches a caurse in
family studies, is a
member .of the Credit
Valley Marathon Club.
She also coaches cross-
_co.untry ..track at _ the -,
