MEMBER HONORED Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Len) Noonan of Port Arthur were the honored guests at a party held by the St. Edward's Council Knights of Columbus, #3554 in the Town Hall. The occasion was arranged to mark Mr. Noonants 50 year membership in the Knights of Columbus, which he joined in 1913 in Kegina, transferring in August 1952 to the St. Edward's Council, Schreiber - Terrace Bay. On January 8th, 1959, he was an honorary member of the Council and Order. Among the congratulatory messages received that night was one from the Supreme Knight, Luke E. Hart, commending Mr. Noonan on his long years of faithful service and the organizations? appreciation of what his example would do for. younger members. Mel Nicol, Grand.Knight of St. Edward's Council, was M.C. for the evening, presenting Mr. Noonan with his 50 year pin and a gift from the local Council. J.A. MacIsaac, of Fort William, and H.P. Bourguignon, who had been train despatchers with Mr. Noonan, also spoke. Mr. MaclIsaac, after references to working association with Len, stated that his (MacIsaac's) first speech at a K. of C. evening was in 1913, in Sudbury. Taken by surprise, and a very new member, he recalls stumbling to his feet, munbling a few unintelligible syllables and, with knees knocking, falling back into his chair. The response to this effort was a deafening roar of applause, convincing him that successful speeches were brief ones. But, he continued, some memories must be shared, and the audience would be surprised to learn, that Len - the quiet man, could be a fiery character at work which he executed with dead seriousness. This, in itself, was a most admirable quality but, since all Len's cogitations over train movements were made with wreaths of smoke curling about his head f-om his indispensible pipe, there were times when the other 20 men felt a bit grogzsy!? Mr. Bourguignon also spoke of the forty years he had worked with Len, as brothers in telegraphy, as train despatchers, as fellow members of the 0.R.T. and, in later years, as fellow members of the K. of C. He recalled among happy memories, Len*s marraige to "Rosebud" Noonan of White Fiver and their subsequent move to Schreiber. Mr. Noonan thanked those attending the party, many from Terrace Bay, for the tribute paid to both him and his wife. Fifty years ahead seems a long time, but is short in passing, and backw*rd glances bring many comparisons between then and now. Oddly, ladies clothes were much the same in style, but gallantly Len affirmed he believed the tgirlst were prettier now (lo 1 Applause). -
