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., rolosro. orrifror400-00-vorprmivowoltort DUNLOP'S SHOE STORE ...
