HOWICK LIONS TO
FOLD LADIES NET
A. H. Creighton, Superintendent Of
Colonization For The C.P.R.
To Be Speaker
Th e regular monthly business meet-
ing of the Howick Lions Club was
held in Wroxeter Red Cross rooms on
Tuesday evening, November 28th,
president Cloyne Michel presiding.
In an effort to stimulate attendance
at supper meetings and at the.. same
time overcome .dissatisfaction among
catering organizations, it was unani-
mously decided to collect supper fees
in advance, along with club fees. This
meads that all members will pay for
supper 'whether in attendance or not,
and will permit treasurer to issue a
cheque for amount of plates laid, so
that caterers will not be at a loss.
At the last supper meeting a speaker
from Harriston explained Air Cadet
training, with the idea of having the
club members transport youths from
Howick to Harriston two nights per
week for training. This question was
discussed, but was deemed impractical
due to tire and gasoline restrictions.
Health and Welfare cases were also
discussed at some length.
The question of sponsoring a Christ-
mas Tree for all children in the town-
ship was brought up, but due to the
scarcity of suitable supplies this idea
was shelved in favor of one to enlarge
on the summer picnic, as instituted in
Pordwich last June.
The secretary read communications
pertaining to the post-war planning
survey to be carried out by all Lions
Clubs. In this connection Lion Mac
McKenney informed the meeting that
the C.P.R. had men whose services
were available to give intelligent
advice on this project, so Lion Mac
was delegated to contact such a
speaker for the supper meeting on
December 14th in Wroxeter, which,
by the way, is "Ladies Night". It is
expected that Mr. A. IL Creighton,
Superintendent of Colonization for the
C.P.R. will be present on this occasion.
Other numbers will also featttre the
program.
The question of sponsoring a fowl
lingo before Christmas was abandon-
ed, 'due to the anticipated excess of
entertainment at this season. The
Special Events Committee, however, is
endeavoring to procure a group of
fancy skaters for an evening's program
at Pordwich Arena as soon as ice Is
available, possibly between Christmas
and New lecars.,
