KIN PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE AS the 45th Anniversary of Association of Kinsmen Clubs is celebrated across Canada this week, the Kinsmen Club of Clinton is happy to review with success the part it has played in making this anniversary a milestone in history. Since its inception in 1952, the Clinton Kinsmen Club has served its community in many ways. Its major area of service is minor sports. In both hockey and baseball, Clinton Kinsmen have provided. coaching and refereeing for all interested youngsters be- tween the ages of 5 and 12, Perhaps an indication of their success is the tact that the Clinton juvenile hockey 'team have been runners-up two years in a row in the Ontario juvenile "B" classification, as have the baseballers in the midget and juvenile levels. Another annual Clinton Kinsmen project is the Christmas toy project, in which old toys are repaired and given to needy families, along with clothing and food. Recreation for the community requires facilities, and these too, have been provided by Clinton Kin. In 1957, the Kinsmen joined the three other service clubs 'in Clinton to build a Swimming pool for the town park, More recently, they have provided swings, teeter totters, and jungle gyms for the town parks. Town improvement has also been a concern of the 'Clinton Kin, and their greatest contribution to the town 'has been a numbering system, erected in 1958, when the Kinsmen first planned and then;, going from door to door, fastened in place numbers for each house In town, under the leadership of :president Malt Edgar. Two years be- fore this, the Kinsmen provided the town with trash dis- posal 'containers, which were repainted this past year. Thus, for 13 years, the Clinton Club has done its best to serve its community's greatest need. 4.001,1mmin11.0000 , )g(if 11.!s111111131‘ Villfiggar Kinsmen Club Of Clinton Executive Pictured here is the full executive of Clinton's vice-president, Standing, left to right, Larry Jones, youngest and most active service club, after they treasurer; William Chowen, director; Steve Brown, had made plans for observing National Kin Week, director; Alan Finch, cregistrar; William Fleming, February 15 to 20.
