There She Goes ! " *IVES, there goes the whistle that 1 means jobs! But remember! Factory whistles will keep blowing • smoke will keep pouring from factory chimneys, only if you and all of us do our part to keep Canada's dollar sound. And unless we keep the Canadian dollar worth a dollar, we're headed for inflation, and its inevitable result—depression! Canada's active fight against in- flation is a vital part of all our post- war planning. We Canadians must now—more than ever now—fight to keep Canada's dollar worth a full dollar! Why new especially? Because now civilian goods are scarce, and yet money is plentiful. This is a danger- ous condition. It means we must maintain controls and price ceilings; support rationing and urge the support of rationing. We must buy wisely and with the greatest care: be on guard at all times, checking, working, fighting to keep Canada's dollar sound. If we do this, we can keep prices from rising. If we don't, some day we'll be paying a dollar for 30c worth of goods, which means our dollar is only worth 30c, We know what happened after the last war! We must fight against it happening again. For our own sakes —for the sake of the men who fought overseas and to whom we owe a future with a job, we must keep Canada's dollar worth a full dam Vie must keep up an active fight against inflation! .Pauishany tin BItti'01146 INIMISTItse (CeNti•Att16) to to.oeit thetlantsers of Make this Pledge Today!

President Bill Hamilton welcomed two guests of the Club, Fit, Lt. Scott Reid and Mr. Geo. Schaefer of Goderich. Tailtwister Omar Haselgrove was on the job and checked up on all Lions not wearing poppies, Every Lion had a poppy when he finished. All the fines for the evening were turned over to the Poppy Fund.

Additional talent in leadership had been reported from the Lions visit to London and Lions Clayton Gammage and Murray• John- son were called"upon to take over for one song each, At the request of Pre- sident Bill Hamilton, Flt. Lt, Scott Reid addressed the Lions and express- ed his appreciation at being home again, He said he had wonderful ex- periences and saw much new country in his travels.

Schaefer of Gode- rich addressed the Lions briefly and brought greetings from the County Town. Lion Bob Hobden congratulated Lion Stan Hall on his successful ef- forts on 'behalf of the Navy League tag days. About $120 had been raised and the money was badly needed to Banquet Held In Coronation Hotel Harriston With Ladies As Guests The tri-annual Ladies' Night of Howick Lions Club was held Thurs- day evening, November 8th., in ,,the Coronation Hotel, Harriston, with 75 in attendance, including several guests. Due to a very busy season among the orgainizations whicr customarily cater in the three Howick villages, it was necessary to take the meeting outside the confines of the municipality. Host Jimmie Wader did a grand job of mak- ing the change most pleasant. The chicken supper was excellent and the service good, plus courteous accommo- ation, Lion President Gordon Hargrave having been away deee,hunting, return- ing only in time for the supper, the duties of chairman devolved in the capable shoulders of the 1st. Vice- Gordon Gibson, who acquitted himself nobly. Guests at the head table were District Deputy GOvernor Fred Spry, and Rev, Alex. Nimmo, Presbyterian minister of Wingham, Tail Twister Ken Edgar was in rare form for the occasion. How that guy does get away with it! His highlight prank of the evening was to have two ladies of the assembly, Mrs. Ed. Wel- lington and Mrs. Fred I-Iyndman attir- ed in costumes reminiscent of the gay 90's (or something) and then send them out on the streets. Did they at- tract a crowd—what do you think? Two more ladies, Mrs. Art. Stephens and Mrs. Tom. Wilson were outfitted as clowns and likewise sent on the prowl clown the main drag. All four ultimately 'returned in the custody of the town cop, Geo. Aitcheson, This climax, too, had been arranged by the Tail Twister, but, if he hoped to panic these ladies, he failed, if appearances mean anything, All four proved themselves real sports, but Mrs. Wel- lington really brought down the house With her performance. While this was going on, the pro- gram proceeded, with vocal, trio num- bers by ,Misses Olive Wade, Lulu and Bonnie Gibson, and duets by Misses Eleanor Ashton and Margaret Wear- ring, with Miss Agnes Weaning as ac- companist. All were keenly enjoyed, as was also the "act" put on by Miss Frances Lemmon, that girl loves the men— we don't think, she sure took the male of the specie 'for a ride" Deputy District Governor Spry spoke briefly, bringing greetings from his home Club (Wingham) and from Lions International, complimenting the Howick Club on the pleasant evening provided and for their efforts in the service of their district. By this time, the tailtwister had ter- minated his activities, his stooges hav- ing ,been restored to their normal at- tire, so the guest speaker, Rev, Alex Nimmo, of Wingham, was introduced. Having served as a padre with the R.C.A.F., in Canada for three years, Mr. Nimmo had first-hand knowledge to back up his statefnents pertaining to the re-establishment of men. and women returning to civilian life. "We must face the fact that these men and women have done something for us-,- we must do something for them," he stated, Incidents of the ,indomitable courage shown by some "boys" whom he had met in the service were re- counted, "They did a good job over there, if given the opportunity, they will do an equally good job here. They deserve the chance," Referring to the Poppy he said "The blood-red petals speak to us of sacrifice, the black cen- tre of sorrow., but behind this black centre are the seeds, seeds of a new df a new hope." The seeds of new hope forming an the hearts of these returning men and women intist become a reality, They left haute as boys and girls, they come batk -as men Discuss Atomic Energy New York,—Prime Minister King, rested and refreshed, landed here from the United Kingdom, to take up with Prime Minister Attlee and President Truman the most important problem of modern times, atomic energy.
