Lions
Club
still young
The Auburn Lions Club
was formed in June 1977.
Though only a young
club, the Lions have
accomplished much in
the way of service and
entertainment in Auburn.
This year, the club
received a trophy for
outstanding service
awarded at the mini -
convention in Port Elgin
this spring. The Lions
donate to different
charities all year long, as
well as lend wheelchairs,
and crutchesto anyone in
the community that
needs them.
The Lions supplied the
labour to help paint the
community hall.
Presently, they are
holding a lottery in order
to raise money for lights
in the athletic park. They
also hold 50-50 draws
throughout the year.
The Lions Club also
supplies much in the way
of fun. The year started
out with a succe-ssful
Thanksgiving dance.
There was a pork chop
barbecue, a New Year's
Eve dance and a
Christmas party for the
children. The Lions ended
the year with a barbecue
at Bill Robertson's cot-
tage in mid-June.
Bud Chamney was
president this year. His
first vice-president was
Bill Robertson, second
vice was Bill Crawford,
third vice was Steve
Campbell; treasurer was
Jim Schneider, and
Secretary was Robert
Worsell. Past president
was Fred Lawrence.
Next year's- president
will be Bill Robertson and
his vices will be Bill
Crawford, Steve Cam-
pbell, and Mark Arthur.
The secretary and
treasurer will remain the
same.
Camp
expands
Auburn's tourist at-
traction is the peaceful,.
scenic Four Seasons
Camp, located just north-
west of Auburn.
The campgrounds, on
the Maitland River, were
developed by Pete and
Pauline Glenn five years '
ago. There are 85 acres
altogether, but all of it is
not fully developed yet.
• There Lre about 100 Iots
so far and almost half of
those have hydro, water
and sewers. Some
campers come for the
whale season, about 20
this year. The camp has
had a swimming pool for
• the past two years.
Four Seasons Camp„,
doe's not have th
problem with rowdiness
that some camps do. The
Glenns only allow
families to camp there.
One camper, who has
been visiting. Four -
Seasons for five years,
says he likes the• quiet,
peaceful camping area.
"And there's good fishing
on the Maitland."

Society keeps Auburn green
The Auburn Hor- flowers every year.
ticultural Society was • The Horticultural
formed in 1950 by 'M,r. Society has about 60
A.J. Jackman and Mr.
Roseborough of Owen
Sound, who were sent by
the Ontario Horticultural
Department in Toronto.
One of the first projects
undertaken by the society
in 1952 was the con-
struction and placement
of the •`Auburn' cement
letters at the east 'and
west ends of the village.
During the years, the
society has planted
several trees. In 1953, a
coronation maple tree
was planted in honor of
Queen Elizabeth II. In
1961, two low junipers and
a spruce were planted at
the west end Auburn
letters, and in 1966 a
centennial flowering crab
was put on the lawn of the
county yard at the corner
of Goderich Street and
Mill Road. A flowering
crab was planted in the
Ethelwyn bed in 1967.
Recently the society
planted a new maple tree.
The society's biggest
bed is the Manchester
garden, where the
Forester's hall used to be.
The members maintain
the garden and plant new
members this year. Mrs.
' Dorothy Grange is
president, and her vice
presidents are Mrs. Ross
