LIONS CLUB HEARD
DISTINGUISHED GUEST
Hon, Paul Martin Addressed
Lions Club
The Wingham Lions Club had an
overflow meeting at Hotel Brunswick
on Friday evening, when -additional
tables had to be set in the hall to ac-
commodate the crowd.
Lion Pres., Bill Tiffin welcomed the
many guests, including Hon. Paul
Martin, Minister of Hea tit; John
Dickey, M. P. for Halifax, Alex Jef-
fery, London; R. S, Atkey, Clinton;
four members of the newly formed
Lions Club at Teeswater, Frank Field,.
W. T. Sillick, W. Cooke and M. A.
Donahue, also Bernard Rutledge, who
favoured with a couple of solos,
Tailtwister Gord Buchanan and his
assistant in extraction, fined many for
rea. and imaginary infractions, the
culprit of the evening- was Lion Mac
MdaeWilliam who was accused of lift-
ing a couple of radiators from the rear
of the Presbyterian Church to be used,.
in .his new house he was comtemplat-
ing building. They even went so far as
to fine their distinguished guest, Hon.
Paul Martin. -
In the absence of Lion Jack, Reavie,.
the Lion Tamers duties were taken
over by Lion Jack McKjbbon, who
with Lion Harold Pym introduced
some new songs.
Lion Bob 'Hetherington, newly
selected Liberal Candidate, introduced
the Hon. Paul Martin, who delighted
the members with his oratory. In his
opening remarks he. kidded Lion Har-
ley Crawford; that he would 'be lone-
some when his partner went to Ot-
tawa. He said that regardless of poll-
iticaf affiliation only through active
interest and service can our political
freedom be maintained. The freedom
that through two wars we have fought
for the privilege to enjoy. If these
sacrifices are to be justified we must
that they were not in vain,
show by our conduct and achievements
Our concept of political freedom is
not shared by many countries. Free-
dom loving countries trying to avoid
domestication and maintain peace, and
because ,of- the failures :of portions. of
the United Nations have banded to-
gether in the proposed Atlantic Pact.
This is not designed as a means of
agression, but rather recognizing that
only by combined defence may peace
be assured,
Lion Ken Kerr reported on the suc-
cess of the play, "Nothing But the
Truth" and moved a vote of thanks *
to all who had assisted in its success.
Frank Field, president of the Tees-
water Lions Club, spoke briefly, stat-
ing that there were 27 Charter mem-
bers with others wishing to join. He
extended an invitation to attend their
meetings.
Play At Belgrave
"Uncle Cy Hits A New High", corn-
ing to Forrester's Hall, Belgrave, Fri-
day, April. 1st, 4 hilarious comedy
from St. Hefen's, sponsored by the
United Young People. Don't miss it.
For over twenty-five years an ef-
fort has been made in Ontario to see
that all children crippled by disease
and injury have a chaance fol. a future
happy and useful life. This work start-
ed when the Society for Crippled
Children was formed by a group of
Service Club workers.
We are all aware of the crippling
effects of such diseases as T.B. of the,
bones, joints; infantile -paralysis and
club feet, to mention only a few. There
are many others, After recovery from
these acute infections, these children
need special care, special appliances,
walking boots and braces. They -also
need relaxation outdoors in specially
supervised summer camps such as
Blue Mountain Camp at Collingwood.
All this requires. a great deal of
money and Service Clubs are under-
taking to aassis,t them in raising funds
through the sale of Easter Seals.
Wingham Lions Club will again
sponsor this campaign in this district
and within a few days envelopes con-
taining Easter Seals will be received
in the mail. Help the Crippled Child
%INGHAM CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE BANQUET
Watson Porter To Speak
Friday, April 8th, is the date of the
Chamber of Commerce Banquet to be
'held in the local Armouries, It is
sponsored in the interests of Conser-
vation and it is hoped that the banquet
will attraact many farmei's in the dis-
trict, Watson Porter, editor of The
Farmer's Advocate, is widely recogs
sized as an outstanding authority on
this vital sUbject, Mr. Rhys. Pollock,
chairman of the Rural Relations Com-
`rnittee, is now directing a vigorous
campaign to make the banquet a suc-
cess. At the regular meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce it was decided
to hold the annual meeting on Wed-
nesday, April 13th. It was the hope
that the long-delayed membership,
certificate would be ready ,in time to
present at the annual meeting. This
delay was caused through the scarcity
of some of the materials to be used in
completing the certificates.
To Sponsor Calf Club
Mr. Rhys. Pollock reported that
the proposed Calf Club would be spon-
sored and that there were now enough
entries to proceed with its organiza-
tion. Some of the members of the
Chamber of Commerce reported that
they had attended the Seed Fair at
Clinton. They were most anxious to
carry out the plans to have a Fair in
Wingham next Spring.
Mr. W. T. Cruickshank asked ,f(i'r a
committee to study the possibility , of
having a Trade Fair in Wingham this
year. This committee is to report their
findings as soon as possible.
Reported Industrial Conference
The Secretary, Mr. Sam Burton, in
making his report of the Industrial
Conference held in Toronto recently,
stressed the importance of the indus-
tries that are already located in Town.
Little appreciation is generally shown
and it was pointed out that without
industry there would be no town at
all. The report was adopted and the
Secretary was instructed to take steps
to secure information about the town
that would be of use to industries
which+ might conSider locating here,
"'First item of impor tance however,.
''" was to consult our present industries
and to make them feel that they are
appreciated. It was also the unanimous
opinion that no industry should be
brought to town without first consult-
ing our local industrialists.
H. P. Carmichael, Membership Com-
mittee Chairman asked if his commit-
tee might sell Chamber of Commerce
Memberships at the coming banquet.
His committee didn't want people to
think that this was a high pressure
scheme but they did think that those
people attending the banquet would
be glad of the opportunity to join. It
'would also cut down oh the amount
of work necessary to make the mem-
bership campaign a success.
Don't Worry About Taxes
Mr. A. E. K. Bunnell, Municipal
Tax Expert, stated at the recent In-
dustrial Convention that the Canadian
Community must expect higher Muni-
eipal taxation especially if the citizens
want the services they are, getting at
present. Putting it rather bluntly, Mr.
Bunnell said "Canadians at present are
spending more money on beer, or on
movies than on municipal taxes with-
out a murmur—they evidently want-
beer badly enough that they will pay
anything for it. The qeustion is this:
Do they want the varibus municipal
services badly enough to pay for them?
Mr. Bunnell told the representatives
of Ontario's communities not to worry
if their tax rate went up to 65 or 70
mills. "Actually"; he said "you are not
out of line when you compare the intr.
chasing power of the dollar today with
that of say 1932."
"It is unfortunate however, that many
Canadians who are trying to live on
fixed incomes, are having a hard time
to make ends meet" lie continued.
Mr. Bunnell further stated that he
knew of no community in Ontario•
where the tax trend was downward.
"Municipal councils are often critic-
ized for this situation and they are
often admonished to keep taxes down,
But the progressive community will
always recognize the need of spending
to keep its services oil a par with ,other
plades and most intelligent people will
understand that our tax dollar of to-
day Can't possibly buy what it did in
days gone by" Mr. Bunnell concluded.
Our comment: quite true BUT—still
a hard pill to swallow!
