•'T'here is no time that I 'feel so
humlble. as when 1 have to stand be -
Sore an audience and try • and put
my thoughts into words. Out •Club
has been most .fortunate 'from time
..totime in listening to 'many splen-

33aan•y different 'subjects. We all real-
" ;:i;.e haw difficult it is ;to maintain this
• high standard. To -night 9 am very
.willing to take second place to any
and to all of pie previous speakers,
lint I will not, 'however, put my sub-
• feet in second because
means 'more to 4a1.1 and tosthe thart
:any previous ou'bsect, and 9 may say
I believe it •is more important than
All the others put together. My sub -
Meet is The 'Seaforth Lions Club"
aad my reason for stressing its im-
portance is, that it is a local organ-
ization 'that •has made good. .It fias
Justified its existence in a splendid
way and you and I are part and par-
. cel. of it, I have one very keen regret
in regard to this Club and it is that my
name does not appear ein the Chanter
Roll.
This 1Club came into being on Sep-
tember 12111, 1934. There were 'twenty
charter members, eight of those are
still active members and are Lions
53111 Duncan, Joe McMillan, Dr. Mac-
kay, Jack MacTavish, 'Ed. Keating,
Ceo. Ferguson, Wes. Beattie and ,Jim
'Mullen. The late R. M. Jones was our
'first ,President To the remaining
Originals let me extend a word of
-appreciation, and say that your off-
spring, a tender Cub Lion, has devel-
oped into a full grown. 'forceful, ser-
vice seeking Lion. I have selected
two words around which I will try
Und build my .story tonight. They
are important nords, so important
that they form the base on which
rests iLionisin — the first word is
"Courage." 'When it was announced
that a Lions Club was being organ-
ized' and its Password was a "Lions
r..ar" it was considered a sort of
j, ke and there were many critics,
These Charter men, however, had
sufficient courage and they also had
Money. carne from -fair and nea and
if yob will pardon s personal word I
Would say that I received money
from a lady 200 miles north o Vic-
tortia on the Pacific coast, ,from an-
other in •Califoinia, another in Ari-
zona, 'one in South ICarcilina. Money
has also been received far our •work
from New York and Montreal, This
is a •far flung ,boundary line and. it
ds all due to one ,thing and one thing
only, •and that is the "'good name of the
Seaforth Lions 'Club," and this must
be 'preserved at all costs, .111 you f or -
get everything else let us try and re-
meMber that .whatever may occur
to us individually 'we must neryer
allow a stain to fag ,on the 'banner of
our Club, "A good name is more to
be 'desired than ,greet riches." You
all Icnow this :outstation. These are
true words eq. they are true of our
,1•o'al :Lions Ofillb; and we must keep
up our Courage 'and our Optimism
even in these difficult days. Here is
a little poem I have carried with me
for a great many years. It makes
clear the paint I am trying to stress
and this is the spirit that is so much
needell today,

Enjoys Preference • -
That Canadian cheese enjoys a
distinct preference on the British
market is proved, according to lat-
est advices to the Ontario Marketing
Board, by the fact that the Canadian
product is receiving, at the present
time, a premium of approximately 50
per cent. over the New Zealand pro-
duct.
Prices for New Zealand cheese, as
of the beginning of April, were 40s
per long cwt. for 'the ,white, and 47s
per long cwt, for the colored, or 7.36
and 8.65 cents per pound respective.
ly. These prices covered new cheese.
Canadian cheese was selling- at 61'
66:s oer long cwt., or 11.04 to 12.1
sents per pound.
'Phis does not mean that NCI%
Zealand producers are getting less
money for their cheese than are Can-
adian patro es. NCW Zealand products
sell at ,a premium of about twenty per
cent, in relation to the pound sterl-
ing, Canadian procluets, on the , other
hand, sell at a discount of approx.-
00:51y 16 per cent, due to exchange.
In this way, returns to cheese pat-
rons in both countries are about the
same.
It should be pointed Out that the
prices for Canadian cheese are for
mature cheese. There is practicalis- 116
11010 Canadian cheese '011 the British
market at peesent, therefore the ben-
efits of this extreme premium are
going to the trade, for cheese ac-
quired last fall or earlier, rather than
to the cheese factories in Ontario
and Quebec at this time.
"Corn crop failure can. be elimin-
ated largely by purchasing only No.
1 seed of a standard variety from s
reliable dealer and making a germina-
tion test before planting," declares
Arthur H. Martin, assistant director
of the Crops Branch. "In the apin-
ion of corn growers of Southwester,.
Ontario, corn dealers and o•fficials of
the Federal Seed Branch, the supply
of Onta.rio grown selected corn . of
high quality and gerthination, is suf-
ficient to take care of the presen:
SC/15011'S demand." With a supply of
No. 1 Ontario corn thus available at
reasonable Prices, 'Tr. Martin warn
against the temp talthon of buying lo•w-
priced ungraci•ed or law -grade corn
from tioubtfuLsources. The difference
in iorice between the oast:ailed' cheer
seed. and the best seed is only
