Notes by Susan Smith, 2nd Seaforth Brownie Pack Our 60th Birthday ' We had a 60th Birthday for all the Brownies and Guides. W„e got a nice badge that we put on our Brownie uniform, it is light blue with a white 60th on it. We saved pennies for Brown- ies in other lands. Brown Owl drew her foot - marks on a piece of paper, she pasted the pennies on it. Then we send 'this to the Brownies in other lands, and in that way they would have money. One night • as Brownies we celebrated the 60th .Birthday. We had the lights off and had cup cakes with candles on top all lit up, and this big candle that Tawny Owl held in her hand. Each of us got a turn to light our candle. A flag was on each cup cake. There were names on the flags of dif- ferent countries. We said 'Light this candle' for the Brownies in Korea, and other lands. * * * * Two Seaforth District High School basketball teams elided the regular season on Monday with a guarantee of at least a share of top spot.

So be it. For almost the last four years this scribe has worked with some of the finest people he has ever had the pleasure of knowing as both business associates and comrades, They have been a rare. breed of human beings, a ipt•?.d not commonly found in today's world. The people at The Toronto Telegram Syndicate have been an important part of my life during these past years. And, begging '• their indulgence, I am taking this opportunity to say good-bye to them my way. To Ron, our sales manager, he was my friend, faithful and just. His company has always been rewarding and my personal contact with him has made me a better human being. It is soun- fortunate that' you, gentle readers, have not experienced his warm smile and honest approach to life. • To Steve, our service mana- ger, he was a patient liStener at all times, sacrificing 'his own world to, help .this reporter an- alyse any, problem, personal or professional. To you Steve, I raise my glass. To Sharon, my secretary, who meant so much but was never told. It was Sharon who had to endure through all of my ups and downs, but whenever she was needed she was there. She was wonderful. Then there's Patr1;—also on the service side. He'll do well in the world of business. To Paul, I want to wish all the success in the world, and although he brought me coffee during the clay, I never regarded him as anything less thaira business associate. To Bruce, another worker on the service side, I'd like to say "thank you" for all of those extra favors he's dope for me. He's an intelligent young fella who'll do well and,. like Paul, he was also thought of as a business associate. These .are the five people with whom I have spent the most fondly remembered hours during my tenure at The Toronto Tele- gram Syndicate. , • Of course, there's been our director, Don Hunt.A big man with a big heart . . . his secre- tary, Marilyn, a gal I didn't get to know as well as I should, but a person who often helped me through -a problem . . . and Deirdre, our bookkeeper, who always had an impish gleam in her eyes and who often made a dark situation light. Oh, of course, there are a few Others, and also those who have come and gone. But none of those otherscreated such an impact on my life. I am now finding it some- what difficult to finish . this column, but bear with me. There is little- more I can say, and yet, there are a few more wordi which must be said. " 'So, to Ron, Steve, Sharon, Paul, Bruce, et al., tna_y-I4Vish you all the very best in the future. I'll certainly miss you all, and there will undoubtedly be many 'hours of nostalgia when be able to smile to myself recalling life at the Tely' Syndicate. May your house be safe from Tigers. 1 Thursday, 7:15 Draw: - Don McKercher's rink moved into sole possession of top spot following an, 8-4 win over Fred Elliott. McKercher has 20 points.
