Lion Tamer Hugh Moorhotts, was
late in arriving, so Lion Arnold Earl
assumed song leadership, and also
contributed a fine violin selection.
Misses Agnes Wearring and Eleanor
Ashton rendered two lovely duets
during the evening, with Miss Marg-
aret Wearring as, accompanist,
"Mac" Pratt spOke briefly of the fine
effort the local Midgets, made in their
first season of organized hockey and
expressed the hope that they and Lis-
towel would be grouped together next
season,
Rev, Kelley started off by saying
that during the past week it had been
his sad duty to deliver five or more
telegrams to hothes in Listowel and
district, hearing the dread news • of
loved ones killed or wounded in action
in Holland. Such an experience, he
explained, was not conducive to his
giving an address of humor. and light-
heartedness. Such a task made one
pause and • take stock of hitriself.
These men over there were suffering
and • dying for "you and me", and if
we were honest with ourselves: we
would ask "Am I worth this sacrifice".
Time and space will not permit our
going into detail of. his .thought-inspit-
ing talk, but anyone who knows Rev.
a long time.
At this point it was moved, seconded
and unanimously endorsed that the
Club donate $25.00 each to the Red
Cross branches of Fordwich, Gorrie
and Wroxeter, in their current canvass
for funds.
"Tory" Gregg was then called on.
He just outlined the reason for and
procedure of organizing the W.O.A.A.,
which has a membership of 21 Clubs
and has provided opportunity for 500
boys up to 16 years to play in organiz-
ed hockey. All but one of these clubs
are sponsored by Rotary, Kiwanis,
Lions or Community Service Clubs.
Year-round sport is the object of the
W.O.A.A. and baseball is mooted as
the favorite pastime next summer,
under a similar set-up as prevailed in
hockey. He hoped Howick would be
represented. "Tory" was a hockey
player himself some few years back.
Starting out in his home town of
Paisley, he later played with the
Owen Sound Greys in the • middle
twenties, then jumped to professional,
playing with Pittsburg and the' Lon-
don Tecumsehs. He advisd the boys
present of the great future in pro-
fessional sport, but warned that you
had to be good to get there and stay.
On behalf of the players, Calvin Mof-
fatt ably expressed thanks to the How-
ick Lions for their sponsorship, to
Coach (Glenn Johnston for his whole-
hearted interest, and to "Tory" Gregg
for his efforts in .organizing and boost,
ing minor hockey in this district.
-Lion Mac McKinney voiced the ap,
preciation of the members to the guest
speakers and others contributing to
the success of the occasion, ,Meeting
then adjourned with the Lions Roar.

towel, vice-president of the W.O.A.A.;
ReV, W. E. Kelley of Listowel, guest
Speaker for the occasion; the Misses
Margaret and Agnes Wearring and
Eleanor Ashton, who provided musical
entertainment.
For some reason the attendance of
Lions was not as large as anticipated.
The youthful hockeyists were seated
at a special table, with their coach
.and manager, Lion Glenn Johnston at
the . head. Tail Twister Ken Edgar,
was, as usual, much in evidence. His
feature stunt of the night, aside from
levying fines, was the production 'of a
'so-called lady's hat, reputedly the
creation of a famous trench designer.
It wouldn't fit everyone of course, and
it eventually transpired that Lion
Harvey McMichael was abbut the only
'one preent who could keep the con-
'tr'ivance on his head; it was about
2 inches in height. Stripped of its 4010..
