% LATS () 269 me oo i> Harry Shack Honoured (cont 'd from page 14) Shack was based on both good and bad times experienced to- gether in railroading. He also indicated that frequently the lat- ter gives the true estimate of a man. Since Mr. Shack's working life was mostly away from home, he found no time to engage in community enterprises but his place has been well - taken by his family. His wife is a Girl Guide commissioner; his daugh- ter, Mrs. Giovanni Cebrario, a Brown Owl and his son, a teach- er is currently working two years in Nassau. F. J. Koehn, Schreiber super- intendent said that Mr. Shack's devotion to duty was well-known and his ability in coping with problems on the job, some ser- ious and others verging on the comic, would long be remem- bered. Mr. Tripp, resident engineer said he had gained invaluable experience in working with Mr. Shack and that the only time 'he ever was aiarmed was when Mr. Shack stopped grumbling (using the vernacular, to the men's amusement.) "Then," added Mr. Tripp, "I knew I was in deep trouble." Mr. Tripp continued that snow, especially the amounts re-. corded in this area, is a real: challenge to roadmasters. How- ever, Mr. Shack still carried on with efficiency snd speed. In fact, Mr. Tripp added, he would not be surprised to see Mr. Shack appear during some em- ergency to lend a hand just for the fun of the game. Mr. Tripp then read messages from former Schreiber officials and associates. Most contained a humorous reference to some past - shared dilemma. Among greetings received were those from Charlie Pike, Bill Roberts, Peter Fuller, Harry Austin, all of Toronto; V. E. Everitt Smiths Falls; Lionel Moorey, Sudbury; R. E. Smith, London; G. C. Me- Donald, Winnipeg; Jack Moor- ish, Vancouver; L. R. Smith and W. J. Pressley, Montreal, Mike Pashniak, Fort William; Lawr- ence Testori, White River and G. A. Nutkins, Chapleau.
