KINSMEN FOUNDER AIDS CLUB
TO MARK SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY
The Kinsmen organization has
grown from 60 clubs in .939, to
375 clubs in 1961, with a total
membership of more than 12,000
young Canadians, the founder of
the organization, Harold Rogers,
O.B.E., told members of the .Hen-
sall Kinsmen. Club and their ladies
at the seventh annual dinner of
the local club, held last Wednesday
night. Mr. Rogers and his wife
were among guests who brought
attendance of the anniversary
meeting to the 70 mark.
The event was held at the Le-
gion Hall with ladies of the Legion
Auxiliary serving a turkey din-
ner. In addition to the founder
and his wife, other guests includ-
ed members of the executive of
Zone 1 and their ladies, as well
as former members of the local
club. Guests were welcomed by
the president, Bill Clement, who
termed the founder's visit* as • a
highlight of my club year.
Bill Nichol, governor of District
One, introduced members of his
1960-61 executive, along' with the
dtputy-governor elect of Zone D,
Wilf Wittet, of Delhi. Reviewing
activities of the Hensall Club since
it received its charter in 1954,
Harold Knight told the audience
that in the seven years of its ex-
istence, Hensall Kinsmen have
raised over $1,000 in the com-
munity and has reinvested this
money in community projects. He
paid tribute for the support of
Kinsmen activities. In his review,
Mr. Knight revealed that eight
charter members are still active in
the club: Bill Clement, Ross Jinks,
Jack Drysdale, Bill Mickle, John
Heal, Bill Fuss and Harold Knight,
and that three of them—Drysdale,
Knight and Mickle—have perfect.
attendance. Average membership
during the seven years has been
20, Mr. Knight said.
Introduced by Bill Mickle and
thanked by John Heal, the organ-
ization founder, Mr. Rogers, de-
voted his informal talk to a re-
view of Kinsmen accomplishments
during World War II. While Kins-
men organizations was known the
world over for its "Milk For Bri-
tain" campaign, the organization
handled over $3,000,000 during the
war years in its various pro-
grams. One of the first organized
efforts was its sending of maga-
zines to the Merchant Navy, and
by 1942 over 22,000,000 magazines
had been shipped to Halifax, where

Mr. Rogers recalled the urgent
appeal from Lord Wootom, then
Britain's Minister of Food, that
Canadians do without cream in
their coffee one day • a week, so
that British youngsters could have
their milk ration increased. We
realized then that here was a pro-
ject that Kinsmen could undertake,
and in the first six months of war
we shipped 4',4 million quarts of
milk to Britain, Mr. Rogers re-
called. For his leadership in this
project, Mr. Rogers was awarded
the Order of the British Empire.
Kinsmen was started in Hamilton
in 1920, and immediately became a
service organization, he said. We
realize that we couldn't survive
as a social club, but needed a ser-
vice program, and that is still our
prime objective—serving the com-
munities' greatest need.

ed the department should provide
leadership. Mr. Davies agreed- a
ser ious problem existed, but said
it did not follow that with voca-
tional facilities all would stay be-
yond Grade 10. Today's require-
ment was for a high degree of
basic academic background on
which skills could be imposed.
Reading comprehension was a
must, and this made English the
most important subject in the cur-
riculum.
Mr. MacNaughton suggested
boards consider whether or not
their communities were prepared
to provide facilities, and if so, the
arrangements that could be made
with neighboring boards. He warn-
ed the desire to provide improved
facilities should not become a com-
petition between towns for a new
building.
Board representatives agreed to
meet again May 16. In the mean-
time local attitudes to the pro-
posals would be explored.

Tell When
Cake Is. Done
There are several ways of tell-
ing when a cake is done. In the
first place, if oven temperature
and pan size are exactly as speci-
fied in the recipe, baking should
be finished in the time given. As
a safeguard, however, the Food
and Nutrition Department, Mac-
donald Institute, Guelph, .suggests
that some or all 'of the following
practical tests for doneness be us-
ed as well.
If pressed lightly with a finger,
the top surface df the cake should
spring back and leave no imprint
when it is done; a wire tester or
toothpick inserted near the centre
should come out clean; the cake
(except sponge cake) should have
shrunk or pulled away slightly
from the sides of the pan:
•The bright pupil looked long and
thoughtfully at the second exam-
ination question, which read:
"State the number of tonsof coal
shipped out of Canada in any giv-
en year."
Then his brow cleared and he
wrote: "1492 - None."
