Carter House Fund Project Wins Kin
Honours In Service Club Contest
At the Zone "B" rally of
Kinsmen Clubs here on Sunday
the local Kin earned the op-
portunity to compete for the
George and Mildred Sinclair
District Service Shield. The
Kin project on which this was
based was the Carter House
Fund and building.
Gordon Grigg read the entry
of the local Kin Club in this
competition, which described
in detail the events' following
a fire on May 8, 1960 which
destroyed' the home of widow
Mrs. Ruth Carter and her six
children.
Since all clothing, food and
furniture were lost in the fire,
the Kin Club found living
quarters for the family, then
spearheaded a drive to get
food, clothing, bedding and
numerous other articles to help
furnish a home.
The Carter House Fund was
set up; and the club started
it off with $200. Then they
decided to build a complete
new home, rather than try to
fix up an old house.
The Kin supplied labour to
assist the cement contractor,
then worked on under the
direction of a contractor Kin
member, As the submissions
in' the contest stated, "The
time and effort spent by in-
dividual members of the Kin
Club of Clinton cannot be
measured in terms of man
hours."
In less than three months
a modern three bedroom ranch-
type house was erected on a
lot purchased by the Kin. An-
other Kin) member who is an
interior decorator brought in
his gang of men to paint the
inside. The exterior was paint-
ed by club members.
The house, valued at over
$10,000 was completed' at a to-
tal cost of $7,931.52. Money
to build came from insurance
claim, $4,500; donation from
the Kin $700; donations from
the public $231.52.... five-year
open mortgage arranged for by
the Kin Club $2,500.
"Expressions of appreciation
and thanks on the faces, of this
family was mare than enough
to make all the problems and
past efforts of the 31 members
of the club seem worthwhile,"
summed up Mr. Grigg.
To be eligible to enter this
contest, the Kin project had
to be started and in operation
within the past year. If suc-
cessful at the district conven-
tion, the Clinton Kin Club en-
try may then. form the club's
entry in the Hal Rogers Ser-
vice Trophy at the national
Convention. Hal Rogers, Ham-
ilton, is the founder of Kin
Clubs.

Better Marking
Of Cattle Shipped
Holmesville OFU met in
Holmesville school on Monday
evening, April 11. Secretary,
Mrs. Edgar Rathveell, read the
minutes.
There were discussions on
rural hydro and the low amp-
erage.
Robert Stirling, Edgar Rath.-
well, Robert Welsh were ap-
pointed as a committee to
draw up a resolution on the
stamping and marking of live-
stock to ship. It was felt bet-
ter stamping of the livestock
would mean fewer mistakes in
the shipping of cattle.
One member gave his own
experience as an example of
these mistakes. His loss would
have been $25 had he not not-

Clinton e quarter of a century
ago, to organize the club. The
organization meeting was at
Bartliffs Restaurant and the
first' meeting was in the town,
hall. He introduced four Lions
from Goderich, including Dr.
R. M. Aldis, former presi-
dent of Clinton Lions Club.
"The town of Clinton has
many benefits which it would
not have if it were not for the
Lions Club," said Mr. Ellis.
Each club present was iden-
tified. Dave Jackson, presi-
dent of Grand Bend Club spoke
briefly. Bayfield Club was ree
presented by Alf Scoitchmer
and Fred Arkell. Herb Turk-
heim, president of the Zurich
Club introduced four members;
there were two members from
Exeter Lions.
Carman Rowcliffe, president
of the Seaforth. Club introduc-
ed eight members. From Wing-
ham there were Bill Cruick-
shank of CKNX, and' William
Conroe, formerly of Clinton
and four others.
Bruce .Sholdice, president of
the Mitchell Club, introduced
four members including Floyd
Wessman, formerly of Clinton.
From Lucknow Rae Watson
introduced four members in
the president of that
club Gordon Montgomery. Jack
McDonald, president of the
Brussels Lions introduced one
member.
James Millman entertained
on the piano, and provided
jokes, bringing all members of
Clinton Lions into his lingo.
John S. Parker sang solos.
Mr. Menzies introduced Dis-
iced. He knew the difference
in weight and appearance of
!these two cattle were not as
much as indicated on the re-
turn slip. When the trucker
was shown, he had it rectified,
but this could have been an
expensive mistake to this far-
mer.
Farming today does not al-
low profits (if any) to permit
these mistakes' and mix ups
to continue. Farm Union
members felt a stamping
should be the kind of marking
that would last and be as plain
at the delivery point as it was
when the cattle were picked
up at the farm.
Profits from the Variety
Concert held in Ontario Street
United Church hall last week
were very satisfactory.
trict Governor Morley Mc-
Lean, Orangeville, who brought
greetings from District A-9.
He introduced the guest speak-
er Frank A. Bartlett, Hamil-
ton, a director of Lions Inter-
national,
Mr. Bartlett was a slow
thoughtful speaker who expres-
sed himself sincerely and clear-
ly, especially on Lionism alt
the International level. "As
Lions we have made a choice
of the type of service to our
area. Lionism means giving for
the love of it."
He spoke of his experiences
an International Lionism dur-
ing past years. In this he cit-
ed Chilean and Japanese dis-
asters. Out of every dollar
collected in Japan for relief
work, the Japanese Lions gave
40 cents toward the Chile re-
lief, though they had a similar
disaster at home.
Lions put the first sanitary
equipment into Mexico. 75 per-
cent of Lions Clubs projects
in the world' are aimed at com-
munity betterment and help
for the blind. The Winnipeg
Lions have given three-quart-
ers of a million dollars' for a
home for the aged. These
were among many references
to the service work done by
Lions.
D. John Cochrane thanked
the speaker.
Winners of a draw were
Jack McDonald, Bruesels; Ken
Scott, Brucefield; Bill Cruick-
shank, Wingham; Joe Murphy
