Gerald Tebbutt .At
Leaders' Club
Get -Together
The saddle horse class at the Clinton Spring Show draws a
good deal of attention. Here two of the entries in the 1952 Show,
go for a leisurely walk along the tree -shaded streets of Clinton.
With their riders dressed in Western stylass adds to ,tane colour he horses
decked out in gay trappings,
nd
action to the Show.
Gerald Tebbutt, R.R. 2, Clinton,
was among 66 young men from
all over Western Ontario who last
week enjoyed the annual get-to-
gether of the,Leaders' Club, spon-
sored jointly by the University of
Western Ontario and The London
Free Press.
Honoured by being chosen best
at CDCI in skill and interest in
athletics and in all-round leader-
ship, Gerald joined others who had
received like honours at their own
school.
I consider the foundation of this
club (ten years ago) one of the
finest things that has ever hap-
pened in the life of the university
and The London Free Press," R. J.
Churchill, executive editor, The
Free Press, told the Leaders at a
banquet held in their honor at the
university.
"You've heard it said many times
that this country is vast, rich and
full of opportunity," he added, "but'
if it is not developed, the country
will have nothing. And it can't
be developed without leaders."
Each Leader was presented With
a certificate, in the university's
-purple and white, which certified
that he had "been selected as a
member of the Leaders' Club in
recognition of his skill and interest:;
in . athletics,, and the'all-round.:
leadership he has, given within hie
school."
Dr. E. G. Hall, university presi-
dent, asked each Leader to go on
to university from high school and;'.
to take an honors course "which
is tougher but gives you greater
happiness in the end and means a-
greater contribution to your com-
munity."
The university, he said, apprec-
iated the opportunity of co-operat-
ing with The London Free Press
in bringing the Leaders' Club to
London. The Leaders had been
selected, not only for their inher--•,
ent leadership, but also for their
part in school activities.
"Most of you, being leaders in-
your
myour own school, will go on to
university because obviously you
have the ability," he said. "And;
never let us hear of any of you
who have academic ability say you
can't go to college because of lack
of funds." There were many ways
of financing a student's education,
he said.

G. S. Kahn Visiting In County
Describes Pakistan To Lions
Clinton Lions Club are having
their share of international speak-
ers at their dinner meetings. Two
weeks ago a business man from
the Belgian Congo in Central Af-
rica told of his country, while
this past Tuesday evening they
heard G. S. Kahn, a member of
the department of Agriculture of
the government of Pakistan.
Mr. Kahn was introduced by
Lion G. W. Montgomery, agricul-
tural representative for Huron
County, who has been acquainting
him with the farmers and farm
groups of the district. The speak-
ame to Canada in September
YOU'VE GOT A DATE WITH POP ON
er c
1953 with five others, as a trainee
of the Colombo Plan, to study ag-
riculture methods in this country.
Since coming to Canada Mr. Kahn
has been in Toronto, and Wood-
stock in Oxford county, and now
in Huron. He has been working
with the Massey -Harris -Ferguson
Company and is presently with
Roy McLeod, local agent for that
company. Here, as in Oxford
county he is also associated with
the agricultural representatives of
the county. Mr. Kahn, who is a
graduate of the University of Ben-
gal, can read and write six dif-
ferent languages.
To begin his talk, Mr. Kahn re-
minded his hearers that the count- Exeter Junveniles O, Auburn Juv-
ry of Pakistan was less than seven I eniles D.
years old; coming into existence
through the Act of Independence
of India in August 1947. His
country is divided into two district
parts—East and West Pakistan.
Mr. Kahn outlined the geographic
position of his country; the dif-
ferent provinces, the climate and
products grown in each. The cap-
ital city of Karachi has one and
one-quarter million people and is a
large sea port and also has one of
the busiest airports in the world
Mr. Kahn related how the bar-
ren parts of the country are now
good agriculture and fruit grow-
ing areas largely through the mod-
ern irrigation systems that are
being constructed.
Pakistan has no religion or lang-
uage problems. It is gradually
doing away with the caste system
of living. It is a country of dif-
ferent people who are now blend-
ing together into a nation; its
people are all working hard to
build their new country. In seven
years Pakistan has developed fast.
Dams, power projects and irriga-
tion projects are being built, with
aid coming from, all over the world,
Mr. Kahn remarked that Canada
has supplied very much towards
the development of his country.
Mr. Kahn touched on the his-
tory of India and Pakistan from
the time of Alexander the Great,
on down to present day history.
The speaker was thanked by
Ross Middleton for his iinformative
talk on this new country. At this
time Mr. Kahn answered many
questions from his audience. In
answer to one question he des-
cribed the city of Kashmar ,and
the Kashmar Valley. He said this
valley was one of the most beaut-
iful places in all the world.
At the business part of the meet-
ing, presided over by president R.
M, Aldis, many committe reports
were heard. Ken McRae reported
on the progress of the second an-
nual, Huron County. Trade Fair
which is .being held on June 10-11-
12. Lion L. G. Winter spoke of
the Scouts and Cubs campaignfor
funds and material to build huts
at their camp on the Maitland
River, north of Holmesville. A
District Scout Jamboree is being
held at the .camp site this Satur-
IINE 2
day.
To complete the slate of officers
for 1954-55 an election was held
for the office of third vice-presi-
dent. In the balloting, Ross Mid-
dleton was successful over W. H.
McAlpine for the office. The
other members of the executive
were all acclaimed elected, having
been picked by a nominating com-
mittee two weeks ago.
President Aldis urged all Lions
to help at, or patronize the Kins-
men Club: monster bingo at Clin-
ton Lions Arena this Friday ev-
ening.
