There was a splendid turnout of members for the May supper meeting of the Howick Lions Club, held ni the Church Hall, Fordwich, last Thursday evening. The occasion was the offic- ial visit of Deputy District Governor E. C. Gray of Palmerston, During the repast, Past President, J. H. Wylie, was called on t6 intro- duce the club's newest member, Geo. Timm; also two visitors. Lloyd Hock- ridge of Gorrie, recently returned after three years' service in the Royal Can- adian Navy, and Lion Stan. Burns of . Palmerston, who accompanied the De- puty District Governor. Tail Twister, Ken. Edgar, was going great guns with his fine box, as per usual. Few escaped his grasping at- tention. After an introduction by Past Pres. Howard, president Cloyne called on the District Reputy Govern or, who responded with a very fine talk on his conception of how, a ser- vice club should expend its efforts and money. He explained that, at its in- ception, Lionism was concerned solely with caring for crippled children and those requiring medical eye and dental treatment. This possibly meant that three, four or five per cent. of the children in a community received ben- efit, whereas the other 95% Or more received no consideration. He compli- mented the Howick Club on its pro- gram of sports for all who can and will compete, and considered this and similar programs, properly supervised of course, as much more commenda- able. The necessary work of many crippled children, etc., need not be neglected, but it should not overshad- ow the effort to make clean pleasure and sport available to as many as pos- sible. Many service clubs had broken away from the old conception of only caring for the welfare of the compara- tive minority,, and he was pleased to find Howick adopting this progressive attitude. Lion Hugh' Moorhouse voiced the thanks of the members to the speaker for his able discussion. Lion Glen Johnston reported satis- factory progress in the forming of a baseball team from the three villages to compete in the W.O.A.A., as did the hockey team last winter. As man- ager of the team, Glen wished to know if the Lions Club would sponsor the team. A motion 'by Lions Gordon Hargrave and Hugh Moorhouse, that the club would do so, also a girls' softball entry in the W.O.A.A. group- ing, was unanimously agreed to by the meeting. Lion Gordon Hargrave ably voiced the appreciation of the members to the Rutnam Junior Institute members who so graciously catered for the evening's repast. The meeting terminated with the Lions roar.
