Mayor Kennedy thanked the Lions for the invitation to be present and congratulated the members of the Teen Town Council n their election. He felt that this hanked the Lions for the invitation to e present. Lion Jack assured the Peen - Town Council that the Lions ould always be behind them.

French came forward and eported on the results of the Lions oratorical Contest. Miss Hilda Pletch vas selected as winner with Don. loyd and Jim Hall as runners-up. Each was presented with an award rom the Lions Club. Miss Pletch re- eated her winning address on the sub- ect: "Is Canada Yet A Nation?': Miss Pletch felt that Canada should become more self-sufficient and pointed out 'that development of her natural resources should not be left to capital from the United States as in the case of the mining industry. The Hudson's Bay Company and Canadian Pacific Railway were examples of British fin- ancial backing. The Materials from writers and composers of England and the United States were largely used in Canada. Should not Canadians be encouraged in these fields. Canada had no movie industry and had to depend largely on United States and British productions for entertainment, Even the. Governor-General was appointed from England. There were signs that Canada had attained nationhood. The Privy Coun- cil of Britain had decided that The Supreme Court of Canada had full jur- isdiction in all matters of law, The Four Freedoms were enjoyed by Can- adians. In matters of National De- fence, Canada was still linked with Britain but joint planning with the United States and Latin American countries were being negotiated by Can- ada, Our government was appointing uur own diplomatic representatives to foreign countries. Our best scientific brains had been pitted against the enemy and proved superior. In social legislation Canada ranked high with the Family Allowance to help the un- derprivileged and the Old Age Pension for older, needy persons. Our Unem- ployment- Insurance Act and the Workmen's Compensation Act were typical of advanced legislation. Can- ada's contribution to the war effort proved her ability to take her place as a nation, At the close' of her address which was delivered in a most pleasing man- ner, Miss Pletch was accorded an ovation by the Lions President Jack on behalf of the Club, thanked Miss Pletch for her fine address.
