Fordwich Personal Notes Dear Editor: In reply to a letter from Mrs. Cameron which appeared in your paper on May 26th, we, the Dance Hall Committee of the Kinsmen Club, would like to take this opportunity to ex- plain our position, and the rea- son why the dance hall project was cancelled. It is true, the Kinsmen Club felt our young people needed wholesome entertainment, and thus the project was started. A Dance Committee of Kins- men was set up to organize and decide what work must be done, The interior of the hall was completely remodeled and painted, a new ceiling was in- stalled, lights were hung to add color, the drapes were washed, and to add a little class, cloths were provided for the tables. Mr. Hopper paint- ed the exterior of the building and agreed to a very low rent on a trial basis to get things go- ing. The Kinettes consented to op- erate the food booth, and as al- ways, did a commendable job. The Dance Committee met with the Teen Town Council and through their cooperation favorite bands were selected and information was gathered on the type of dances they thought would be successful. The price was set at 75¢ for regular dances, and $1.50 for special dances when the bands cost over $300.00. Four Kin teams were set up to operate the dances and each Kinsman May be tdonated through your local funeral director PLAlk LS, SI-11UVI. HOSPITALS, PRISONS pledged his time for assigned work nights. After several months of pre- paratory work when all Kinsmen devoted time and labor, the dance hall opened in Septem- ber. At first things went well. We made a small profit. A popular band was engaged for the adult dancing and we made $200.00. We thought the show was on the road, but for some reason the crowds left. Several measures were tried to find where we had made mis- takes and to save our project. Meetings were held with the Teen Town Council; bands were questioned; other dances were visited; free transportation from town was offered. Mr. Hopper was approached and asked if our trial period could be extended at the lower rent, to which he agreed. Prices were raised to $1.00. Another adult dance was held on which we lost over $215.00. All this was to no avail. We lost over $700.00 and were still losing. The Kinsmen had to close the dance hall. Although we lost money, the project was not a complete failure. We of the Committee, are sure we speak for all mem- bers of the Kinsmen Club when we say it was a pleasure and privilege to work for the first time with our teenagers. They were well mannered, friendly, intelligent, and a credit to our community. We even agreed that their music is "Real Cool" -- (if this expression doesn't date us). We would also like to thank Mrs. Cameron for her letter. We need more citizens to speak up and work a little harder in an effort to improve our town and make it grow, thus encour- aging our young people to stay with us. To others in Wingham who 'devote time to committees and service clubs, a special "tip of the hat". We are sure they en- joy it as we do. This project was not a complete success, but you can rest assured that the Kinsmen Club will be back in an effort to raise money to be used "To Serve The Commun- ity's Greatest Needs" Thanking the citizens for their support in our projects, we remain, Kinsmen Club of Wingham, Dance Hall Committee.

His sermon text was from John, "I have come that men may have life in all its full- ness" . Mr. Elford said that we are given abilities in the raw state and must develop them. We must not be like the one talent man. If we do not use what we have or are not mea- suring up to what we could be, we are second rate. "Have those who think they have no ability really tried?" he asked. It takes a lifetime to develop our talents. "How much is the possibility of your life?" the speaker questioned. 4. fit. ant/5 eburcb (ANGLICAN) in gtjam Rev. C. F. Johnson, L.Th.
