SANDY ELLIOT PAYS OFFICIAL VISIT TO HOME LIONS CLUB At the Lions Club supper ing in the Trivitt Memorial parish hail on Friday, Deputy District Governor Sandy Elliot paid his of­ ficial visit to his home elub. Among the guests present were F.O, Lorne Howey, who has just returned from England and Capt, M- F, Gladman, who has just completed a company commander’s course at the R.M.C, at Kingston, and who is at present home on sick leave, short addresses, telling of their work, contribute $50,00 Relief Fund and Red Cross. Deputy District Elliot thanked the honor conferred upon him and for the splendid support he has receiv­ ed from the club in the past. The dutie’g of the D.D.G, are to endea­ vor to promote harmony and good fellowship in each club as well as between clubs. Every club in this zone is in a very healthy condition and enthxisiastic for the furtherance of Lionism. The membershii) of the Exeter club is 3 8, the largest our dub has enjoyed since its or­ ganization. Exeter also has the high­ est percentage of attendance to date this year of any club in the zone. Through the splendid support given the club in our community the or­ ganization has beep entrusted with $2,689.00 to spend as it sees fit. Of this amount §200 was spent to equip the Women’s 'quarters at the Airport; §100 for Russian Relief; §50 -for Chinese Relief; §50 for the Exeter, Eng., fund; §35 for the Children’s War •Memorial fund; §5 to the Navy League; §10 to Byron Sanitarium; ‘$300 for the British Children’s War Victims’ fund; $75 for the Boy Scouts; about $75 for milk for the school children; $6 for scholarships and $20 for eye-glass­ es. The balance is being held in trust. Mr. Elliot suggested that Lions should endeavor to make liitch-hik-. ing easy for the members of the k^g.a.f/' and\ dliers in uniform. It is surprising how many motorists will pass by the boys in uniform, the boys fight for a great they are of the public they must maintain a high standard of service. The Exe­ ter club since its inauguration has raised and spent over $10,000.00. A discussion took place on spon­ soring a mobile blood clinic for Ex­ eter in cooperation with the muni­ cipal council. A committee was ap­ pointed to secure information as to procedure and requirements. Flying ‘Officer Lorne Howey in a very modest way told of the routine life of the members of the iR.C.A.F. overseas and o f some o f their ex­ ploits. He had some interesting pic­ tures of bombers above the clouds and of skimming over the water, al­ so of the bomber he piloted that was badly crippled while making three direct hits on a convoy. The episode was mentioned in despatch­ es. Capt. Gladman congratulated the club on their activities and social atmosphere prevalent spoke briefly on the training of soldiers for overseas.
