He suggested that from a humanitarian .and econ- omic standpoint Canada could' well afford to open her doors to those seeking admittance. These people should be encouraged to settle in a country where there is room for in, creased population. He pointed out that few of those seeking admittance were of the unskilled class, many of them being skilled workmen or pro- fessional men. Visitors included R. Stonehouse, F. Hibbert and H. Edwards, Goderich, and Ray Gregory of the Petrolia Lions - Club. The next meeting will beheld in the Blyth Community Hall on April 24th.
