ANOTHER COMMUNITY INSTITUTION GIVES WAY TO CHANGING
TIMES. It was recently announced that the 1964 Wingham Trade Fair
would be the last one. The first Trade Fair was sponsored by the Kins-
men in 1958 and was a successful venture for several years.
The Story Of Kin
When a small group of young men gathered together on a winter's night of February 1920, in
Hamilton, Ontario, to discuss the formation of a young men's club little did they realize it would be
the spark that would flame into a nation-wide organization of over 350 clubs and 12,000 members.
That in fact was the beginning of the Kinsmen Club at Hamilton. Harold A. (Hal) Rogers,
who was 20 at the time, was a salesman for his father's plumbing and heating firm but he found
his leisure time heavy on his hands. He happened to mention his problem one day to youthful Har-
old Phillips, of Montreal, who was working out his ninth lonely month in a strange city.
After a preliminary meeting in Philips' rooms, the group expanded and held its first dinner meet-
ing in the old Nanking Cafe on Hamilton's King Street. That was the start of the movement which
now has clubs in every Canadian province and which does a tremendous community service job in
countless ways.
In earlier days the Wingham Kinsmen Club assisted their fund
raising programs with paper drives. Shown at the top of the heap
is Bill Maclntyre with Bud Lott at the bottom. In between: Frank
Gibbons, Jim Nasmith and Jamie Rae.
There are many inter -club activities that promote the idea of
fellowship. Jim Currie, Bill Hanula, Bruce MacDonald and Don Rae
are shown in this 1964 picture taking home the goodies from an
Exeter Kinsmen Bonspiel.
