For the same length of time, they have won the hearts of all children and young people who have approached their store. Their kindliness and goodwill to all are well known, yet they were subjected to a gross indig- nity on Hallowe’en night. It happened in this way: A number of male teen agers whose faces were con cealed approached their home on Highland Park Avenue. Mrs. MacFarlane let them in while she went to get them several well filled bags of candy. Sud- denly, Mrs. MacFarlane heard something swish past and land with a. spatter on her kitchen wall. Another followed. The living-room and kitchen and box of Hallowe’en goodies suffered from an avalanche of eggs thrown by these disgusting boys. The other children who came to the house could receive nothing. The MacFarlanes, dumbfounded and shocked proceeded to clean up the ghastly mess. It took two hours. Why did this have to happen? Whose fault is it? Why must privatevcitizens be subjected to things like this? Be- cause they got away without being identified, no re- prisals can be taken. Shame! Shame! A Sidney Goldstein, proprietor of Shirlan Hair- stylists, in Thornhill, has a very satisfying hobby. and that is the nurture and breeding of tropical fish. It all started when he was very young. He was recovering from a serious operation and his parents gave him a tank with two guppies in it to help occupy his mind. He has been fascinated by tropical fish ever since. The original two guppies were the ancestors of twenty tanks of the little tropical darlings. But'now Sid has only 15 tanks ranging in size from 10 gallons to 40 and 60 gallons. He has many varieties in these tanks. Some of the commoner varieties are known as guppies, angels, swordfish, black mollies and cats fish. He has many of the rarer varieties as well. The colors are varied too . . . black . . , bright red . . . blue and mixtures. Sid says, that the best thing about this hobby is that he can have a lot of enjoyment with a minimum of care. Breeding them satisfies his creative instinct and he keeps trying to improve the breeds. He loves watching these live things grow and he de- rives immense satisfaction from their beauty. Of course there are obstacles and disappointments, and the greatest danger is tank disease. One fish becomes diseased and the whole tank of fish is destroyed over night. Sid gives this advice to lovers of tropical fish. “Don’t crowd the tanks. Get as much up-toâ€"date in- formation as you can from libraries . . .-lectures, etc.. on the care, breeding and diseases of tropical fish." And he adds. “Anybody from 6 to 90 can get pleasure from this hobby." Sometimes we assume that a person is either a leader or a follower. But if you’ll look at the people you know, you’ll discover that there are a few leaders, a few more followers, and then a large group of people who do nothing. Compared to the “do-nothings,” the follower is a leader himself. And many of the quali- ties that go into making topnotch leaders are found in the followers. Good followers are just as important as good leaders. pre: “An Aftermath Of Halloween" THE “SID” 0F SHIRLAN TAKES DELIGHT IN RAISING TROPICAL FISH ROWLAND PACK FOLLOW THE LEADER : a second series last, in the He] This year. inst: e four concerts, in addition to a a double bass, M: By Elizabeth Kelson mg . inst. :erts, n to .' bass, Row' 'ies of CODCI Heliconian nstruments rts, as a2ai1 Car?"
