Lions hear Cub leader The regular meeting of Lucan and district Lions Club was held at the Anglican Church Monday with 68 percent attendance. Gordon Froats, local Cub and Scout master, spoke to the members regarding activities of the groups. He reviewed the good attendance record of past years. In 1967 when the group was formed the members enrolled increased in numbers during the year from 24 to 36, and at the Cubaree, the Lucan troup received the award for the best attendance. June, 1968 at a camp-out at the Pinery there were 36 boys. In September several boys too old for cubs advanced to the scout group. Since then the attendance has been gradually deteriorating until at the present time the enrolment is down to 18. Mr. Froats informed the club that it is very difficult to get assistant leaders and asked that the members make every effort to help him in this respect. He stated that the increased cost of an enrolment and uniforms may discourage some but the training which the boys received should be well worth the expense. An executive meeting will be called to discuss ways and means to help. A general business session was held prior to adjournment.
