Many Tributes toR. Leslie Beattie

Many tributes have been paid to the mem-ory of R. Leslie Beattie, vice-president and Igeneral manager of Inco, who died at Toronto !en June 10. They have come from peoplein widely different callings, and reflect thegeneral regret felt at his sudden passing.

George Currie, a first aid man at CreightonMine, said, `He was a fine man. I neverheard anybody who didn't have a good wordfor Mr. Beattie."

Arthur Lye, a pensioner of the Company,wrote from his home on Sunderland Road,near Garson: "I would like to express mydeep sorrow at the death of Mr. R. L. Beattie.The Inco has lost an official who gave every-thing he had to the interests of the Com-pany, and the employees have lost a personalfriend. I join with hundreds who mournhis passing,"

E. W. Bradwin, principal of Frontier Col-lege, Toronto, wrote, "I was sorry indeed toread of the death of Mr. R. L. Beattie. Thepassing of a man, active in his businesscareer and comparatively young in years, istruly a reminder of the stress that his re-sponsibilities entailed. We at Frontier Col-lege shall not forget Mr. Beattie's kindlyco-operation upon occasion."

Sister Superior Flavie Domitille of St.Joseph's Hospital, Sudbury, wrote, " His in-terest and kindness shown towards our Hos-pital as a sincere friend and benefactor willlive long in the memory of the personnel ofour institution."

A business associate wrote from Montreal,"I always had the utmost respect for Mr.Beattie as a man and as an official of Inco,and I am sure he will be greatly missed byhis colleagues."
