Original Toronto Star caption: Grand old man: Gus Harris gives 20-month-old granddaughter Laura Harris a victory lift last night after winning his fourth term as mayor of Scarborough. ''The job seems to agree with me,'' said the 77-year-old Harris, who quipped he may one day be the ''first 100-year-old mayor in Canada.''
