Horace Brown gets a hand from fellow swimmers as he completes his 600th length - since the spring - of the swimming pool at the Jimmie Simpson Recreation Centre on Queen St. E. yesterday. The former Toronto alderman, handicapped since he was stricken with polio as a boy, was awarded a 15-kilometre (9-mile) badge yesterday by the Toronto parks and recreation department.
