Roberts, Tuckersmith farmer, for many of the world's difficulties, in an address to the members of Clinton Lions Club at the regular dinner meeting. in St. Paul's Parish Hall Tuesday evening. He was introduced by Stewart Middleton and thanked by W. L. Whyte in behalf of the Club. Third vice-president An- toine Garon presided. • A committee to stage a skat- ing carnival in Clinton Lions Arena Fridey, February 18, was named as follows: H. C. Lawson, chairman: Lorne Brown, B. B. Pocklington, W. L. Whyte, W. E. Perdue and E. J. Jacob. The draw was won by H. C. Lawson, In his address, Mr. Roberts linked the spring floods in West- ern Ontario, the world food prob- lem, and the "Beanery Gang" end 'Teen age problem. The common principles in all these, he said, was "lack of balance." Mr. Roberts .declared that throughout time, nature seeks a balance --ruthlessly. Here, in southwestern Ontario, prior to a century ago, nature had achieved a, balance; rain fell, snow fell., and streams and channels were gouged out of the soil; every- thing was orderly. But in the short space of 100 years, this balance had been disturbed. Flood conditions existed., The speaker mentioned the problem of dessication, the dry- ing -up of natural water courses and levels. Many farmers must haul water for their stock; the underground water level has been changed. Erosion—the washing away of the top soil -.•had been increasing. Turning to his second point, Mr. Roberts said that at the same - time as there was a shortage of food in the world, there was an increase in population; 15 million ore are born than die in the world each year. There would be a day when people would starve because there are too many of them. "Youth is taking matters into his own hands," Mr. Roberts de- clared in explanation of his third point. That "war conditions" ex- isted did not "hold "water," he said; nor did "world unrest" be- cause these were always with us. "Thetrouble there, once more, is that there is, 'lack of balance'," he maintained. "Those young people have no regard for them- selves or anyone else; they lack an appreciation of their own good name. If ouryoung people could realize the truth of that, they would gain their own self- respect, he stated. "So you can we that unbal- ance, either in nature or in man- kind is attended with evil re- sults," Mr. Roberts declared. "Man must be guided by liberty and justice, as well as balance, and the greatest of all is bal- ance." Baby Girl Dies As Result. of Burns Gail Thompson, 21/2-year-oId daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Thompson, Bluevale, died Satur- day in Wingham General Hospit- al as a result of burns suffered when she fell into a tub of hot water.
