For The Crown

A I/THOUGH one of the old legal brlr\ gade m Hamilton, Harry T. Gillies has been pretty successful m keeping Father Time at bay. You may cut out the Voronoff stuff for him, thanks. He has his own reoipe for resisting the flanking and envelqping movements of a ruthless old party krioirn fis Anno Domini.

Of course, most golfers know that H.T.G. is a foundation member of the Hamilton Golf Club. That helps to keep an indoor man m good trim, but a placid, equable temperament also assists. Harry knows. In case you haven't been told, St. Andrew's links at Hamilton are m the de luxe class — and Gillies assisted materially m putting them there. Just oh twenty years ago, Sir Wbrley Edwards presided at the first sitting of the Supreme •Court at Hamilton. Confronting the

judge was quite a youth-ful-looking Gillies m the role of Crown Solicitor. ' . ' And session after session elnce— without Intermission— has seen him at his post, bewigged and begowned, flanked by voluminous files, weighty tomes and many a heterogeneous collection of "exhibits." Not a harassing kind of a prosecutor, but once ruffle his usual urbanity and he will hold his own m the ensuing "breeze."
