That in fact was the .beginning of the Kinsmen' Club at Hamilton. Harold A. (Hal) Rog-
ers, 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 Harold Phillips, of Montreal, who was working out his ninth lonefk.'month in a -strange
city.
After a preliminary meeting in Phillips' rooms, the group expanded and held its first
dinner meeting in the old. Nanking Cafe on Hamiltons 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. -
