ddressed the gathering of
proximately 25 on what ft
eans to be a Lion.
Mr. Coghlin said that being
Lion is fun first and fore-
ost. But he broke the word
n down to explain what
onism really means.
'The "f" stands for
lowship and friends made
er the years, and he cited
is own experiences through
e club as an example. Mr.
ghlin has _travelled to
stralia and New Zealand
Visit friends made through
association with the

e "u" stands for the
derstanding and unique-
ness off Lions which they
show to each other and to the
community as a whole. The
recent Timmy Run in which
the Wingham Lions raised
$2,713.76 for crippled
children is an example of
their involvement for a
• worthwhile cause.
Finally Mr. Coghlin said
the "n" represents needs,
the needs of Lions them-
selves, of the community and
of the world. He pointed to
Participation Lodge involve-
ment as a way Lions are hel-
ping to. meet the needs of the
community and of the
handicapped in particular.
In closing, Mr. Coghlin
referred to the Lions as a
tree. The individual clubs
are its roots. It branches into
the district and the 'flowers
are the Lions International.
He stressed that the Lions
start at the roots or with the
individual clubs.
Past President Arun
Ghosh thanked the Lions for
their help and cooperation
over the past year. He

Shriners' Band from London
is scheduled to be in the
parade as well as an antique
car collection.

local pipe or brass bands
have applied or have been
approached to be in the
parade. She also worfd ed if
anyone had contactdl the
Standish brass band.
Mr. Benninger replied that
no pipe or brass bands have
applied yet, but the group
hopes they will. He said the
problem with having a band
from Standish is that
members must be billeted.

to be down the B Line and
onto the main street. He also
proposed setting. up tables
along the parade route for
senior citizens. He was in-
structed to check with Police

Western Saloon in the arena.

plate lunch for the Saturday
evening dance to be held in
the arena.
He said the Optimists felt
they had enough to do
without running Saturdays
barbecue as well, so the
Belgrave Kinsmen have
agreed to hold a beef barbe-
cue July 18 in the arena.

tended on behalf of the

committee. Chairman

would approach the group
and bring an answer back to
the committee.

Citizens hope to hold their
July 17 dance at the high
