" CLINTON'S LEADING
STYLE SHOPPE "
THE LIONS CLUB
A regular meeting . of the local
,Lion's Club was held Monday even-
ing at 6.30 at Bartliff's restaurant.
Attendance , of the local 'members
.was excellent, and 'a large group of
Lion members from the ' Seaforth
Club graced the occasion in fine man-
ner. The Tail Twister of the Sea -
forth club was right on the job and
'he ably led the group at just the
right intervals' in the singing of a
well-chosen variety of songs, which
never seem to fail to bring the right
spirit to the gathering.
Lion Charlie Stewart of Seaforth
was the speaker ofthe evening, his
well chosen and excellent topic was
"Destructive Lionism" in which he
pointed out how Lionism for its goal
had chosen the destruction of those
most despised human elements of
misunderstanding which 'breeds hate,
greed and intolerance to such a
great extent among the . different
races and creeds in this world of
ours. He also pointed out that .any
organization which had for its ideals
'such Lofty. aspirations must provea
decided benefit to the communities
in which such groups are active. The
speaker ended his address b y
telling this story of
Rev. Dr. Watson, more familiarly
known as Ian McLaren, "He was on
ii.
his way to his church one hot sultry
summer morning. He met a little
girl carrying a baby ahnost equal to
herself in size. Her face was•flush-
ed; perspiration trickled down her
cheek. The kindly Doctor,, by way of
friendly recognition, s°aid::/ "That
baby is too heavy for youl/ The Tit-
tle girl sat the baby on the sidewalk
and , looking' into the Doctor's face
with great wondering eyes, sail:
"He is not heavy, sir. He is my bro-
ther,"
Listen, Lions, some night when you
find it a little inconvenient to attend
your Lions meeting, some time when
you feel your .committee a little bur-
densome, some day when youfind a
little extra demand on your time and
energy, stop and think of the poor
little handicapped crippled child who
holds out its frail little hands to you
and 'to me as its only hope. Think
of the ray of sunshine and happiness
you can direct into the. life of this
child and into the lives of its world
weary father and care -worn mother,
and put your shoulder enthusiasticnI-
ly to the wheel of Lionism, determin-
ed to do your bit to give these un-
fortunate children the break to which
they have a right; the break that
you would ;wish your child to get un-
der similar circ`hiistances. And not
only will you ;experience the joy of
being a little more self sacrificing, a
little more kind and a little more
charitable, but you will, find the small
demand that Lionism will''make on
either your time or your energy will
be one of pleasure and you will say,
•like the little girl of my stdy: 'They
are not heavy; they are my broth-
ers' "
a
A vote of thanks was called ;for by
Lion Teddy Fines in which he expres-
sed tine Iocal club's 'appreciation.
Members of the Survey Committee
subniitted their report as to what
they thought should be the objective
of the local club, which were as fol-
lows: First and foremost "Assistance
for Under -Privileged Children" in
different . ways: Second "Sports,"
this to be encouraged among children
under 16 years of age. Third "Locals
Improvements," which no doubt would
be of benefit to Clinton.* These mat-
ters will come up for discussion at
later meetings and the local member-
ship seem very anxious to get along.
on these matter's.
It was also definitely arranged
that the "Charter Meeting', will be
held on Thursday, April 30th, . This
affair will bring to Clinton then of
prominence in this organization as
well as members of this club from
far and near, it will no doubt be an
occasion which should-prove;a mile-
stone in thegood. fellowship off our

DEATH OF G. A. MacLENNAN
By the death of George A. .Mac-
Lennan,'local merchant, on Wednes-
day of this week, Clinton loses one of
it's most outstanding citizens. Al-
though unable to take his place with
his usual alertness fora few months,
it was thought he would soon again
be in good health, but instead the
end came suddenly. His death remov-
ed from the business district the last
of the fapiilly which has served the
community for more than sixty years.
At an early age George was left with
his mother and sisters to carry . nn
the" business of his father, . the late
Robert- MacLennan, andsince the re-
moval of the sisters to Toronto the
business has been successfully car-
ried on under his ownership. '
He was prominent in public life,
being an. officer of the. Liberal]: Asso-
ciation for many years, a former
official in the Presbyterian .church
and for the last year has acted as
Justice of the Peace, being an .ap-
pointee of the Hepburn Government.
IIe was also Secretary -Treasurer of
the Clinton Public School Trustee
Board and a member of the local A.
F.&A. M.
In 1913 he was married to Bertha
Isabella MacRae by whom he is suer
vived, also three sisters, Ida and
Margaret: of Toronto, and Mrs, Ma
lonely of Sault Ste Marie, 'Ont. Dr.
Robert Gibson, a distinguished sur-
geon of the Soo and who died about
ten years ago, was a half brother.
The funeral will be held froin the
Presbyterian Church, Friday after-
noon, the service commencing at
2,30. The sincere .sympathy of the
comnnunity goes out to his highly es-
teemed wife and sisters in their
great sorrow._
