operate a BB gun safely.
The balance' of about ten to 15
potential members of the Junior
Conservation Club are older boys,
who will have a club of their own,
known as the Clinton Junior Con-
servation Gun Club. Under the
instruction of Ed Chandler (also
a member of the Huron Fish and
Game Conservation Association)
these lads (all over 15 years of
age) will learn how to operate
and bunt with a .22 rifle.
Officers of -the Conservation
Club are: president, Paul Schoen-
hats; vice president, Gerald Cox;
secretary, Tommy Sharp; treasur-
er,- Larry Daw. Officers of the
Gun Club are: chairman, Cameron
Addison; secretary, Robert Van
Riesen; treasurer, Frank Glew;
safety officers, Dale Jasper and
Douglas Batkin.
Plans are that 'on the third
Tuesday of every month, members
of the Conservation Club will meet
n the Clubhouse to see a movie
ased on some conservation topic,
nd hear a talk on the same sub-
ect. On •'the fourth Tuesday of

Y Rogers,
is now 35 year•old. (Mr. Rogers
is a summer resident of Bayfield),
The members of Canada's only
young men's service clubs will
celebrate this week, with special
anniversary meetings, the growth
of the organization they have
helped to build, recalling past en-
deavours and planning greater
projects for the ,betterment of
their local community in its
greatest - need. In many cases,
the Kinette auxiliary clubs join
the parent club in the birthday
festivities.,
During' this week the 295 clubs
in thes
A sociati
on from
St.J oh
ns,
Nfld.'to Vancouver Island, B.C.,
will recall past successes, nation-
ally, among which are the Milk
For Britain Campaign which pro=
vided 50,000,000 quarts of milk
for children in Britain; the Europ-
ean, Winnipeg and Southern On-
tario Flood Relief Campaigns in
which a total of approximately
8150,000 was made available; the
Cancer Scholarship Fund and
other projects, •
Each club too will recount ef-
forts made for the local com-
munity's• greatest need which' em-
brace service projects for young
and old, from playgrounds for the
tots to apartments for the old
folks.
This week each member of the
association will renew his pledge
to service by personal selfesac
rifice in the project which, in the
opinion of the club, represents the
community's greatest need.
It is estimated that nearly three
quarters of a million dollars are
raised each year by the combined
efforts of the member clubs and
spent to help those who cannot
help themselves without regard
for race, creed or color. The
thanks of all Kinsmen go . this
week particularly to all the citi-
zens of Canada who have support-
ed their endeavours in the past.
And thanks -are due the Kinsmen
clubs for their efforts in helping
to make this Canada of ours a
better place in which to live.'
