Dr, Inman started away back in the early times and travelled through the pages of history right up to the present battle between Capitalism and Communism. "Is the capitalism sys- tem going to be allowed to carry on?" was one of the questions he asked the club members, Communism is without a doubt a great danger arid menace to our way of life, he stated, and we must all be familiar with it to combat it. For his reason Dr. Inman suggest- ed that everyone should read the Com- munist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx. The speaker was introduced`by Bob Ferguson and thanked by Ross Vogan. The date for the paper drive was set for November 12th, with Kin Jack Gorbutt in charge of the arrange- ments, Kinleeno chairman John Currie gave the facts and figures on the club's new venture which is progress- ing favourably, with one $50 prize already won.
