While we believe that the band of enthusiastic testers received ample reward for their efforts by the excellent results shown by the Guides, this opportunity is taken, nevertheless, to thank the testers for their voluntary efforts for guiding.

The former C.O., on leav- ing his unit, was presented with a mounted pair of drinking horns by brother officers. The mount- ing and silver work were car- ried out by the Hill’s master craftsman in silver. Douglas Boyd of Centre Street West. A number of the Boyd works of art in silver have gone to re- ligious organizations in recent months. Among them.were a pec- toral cross and ring. with am- ethysts mounted in gold, for the Bishop of Edmonton. A pastoral staff, in which amethysts were combined with silver gilt, was made for the Bishop of Saskatoon. Also to Saskatoon went a proces- sional cross for the Anglican ca- thedral. in silver gilt and enamel. Altar Pieces For Toronto The chapel of the Anglican Dio- cesan Centre, Toronto, has ac- quired some of Douglas Boyd’s world-famous work. Altar pieces. including a cross, candlesticks and vases in sterling silver have gone there. Processional crosses have been wrought for St. George’s Church, Sibbald’s Point; Trinity Church, Aurora; ,St. Mary's Church, Richmond Hill, among others._ On the secular side the United States has become the home of more Boyd handiwork, adding to the considerable amount al- ready in that country. A 168- piece silver dinner service has gone to California, with another going to the nation’s capital, Washington, D. C.
