LIONS PROGRAMME FOR 1926.
The semi-monthly meeting of the
Lions Club was held atthe Com-
mercial Hotel last Thursday evening.
Practically all the members attended,
as this was essentially a business
meeting. The work of the past year
was reviewed . and the Lions feel
justly proud of their •.work. Some
seven hundreddollars was expended
on the Swimming Pool and Park
which amount would have been very
much augmented were it not that
the members themselves provided
the man power and horse power
also. The project is by no means.
completed and for this year a further
outlay of two --hundred- dollars -was:
voted the Pool Committee, consisting
of W. J. Duncan (chairman) J. F.
Daly, W. J. Beattie, Fred Savauge
and C. P. Sills. Lion Duncan out-
lined the work the committee pro-
posed to do, namely, plant shade.
trees, bring water and light to the
grounds and provide the necessaries
for might of tourists who mi ht .wish
to camp overnight there.
During the meeting each member
was asked to give his views •on what
should be done and it was further
decided that the Lions would guar-
antee to do the manual labor neces-
sary 'to complete the work started
some time ago, at the C. N. R. station
with the view, 'to give persons ar-
riving on the •train a better impres-
sion of our town's surroundings.
The work there is to be in charge
of Lion Hartry as ghairinan. Other
work coming under the head of Lions
Club major activities will also be
carried out. A question in regard to
our street lighting elicited the in-
formation that the 'initial steps have
-already been taken towards improv-
ing the present condition.
It is hoped that the Euchre and
Old Time Dance to be held in the
G. W. V. A. Hall on the evening of
the 17th March will
wipe out the
small remaining portion of our debt.
And to correct an erroneous idea
which has somehow got abroad, may
we say that no portion of the funds
of the Club are used to provide the

A SOCIAL EVENING.
A most social enjoyable i l nim
s a evening
was spent' at` the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Isaac Hudson on Friday even-
ing, March 5th. About forty, members
of the United Church, by invitation,
gathered there to spend a 'few social
hours together. After the friends had
assembled, a short time was spent
in community singing, Miss Ann
Govenlock presiding at the piano.
Many of the old-time favorites were
heard again, among which` was a
beautiful duet taken from some of the
old Scotch ballads by Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Turnbull. Following this the
evening was spent in playing different
games, most of which were under
the capable. direction of Miss Susie
Govenlock, About midnight a dain-
ty lun '' was served by the 'hostess,
which, needless to say, was thorough-
ly enjoyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Hud-'
son were then tendered a hearty vote
of •thanks by Mr. W. Golding on be-
half of all those present. After sing-
ing "For They are Jolly Good Fel-
lows," the guests departed to their
homes, long 'to reineinber the evening
so enjoyably and so profitably spent
together. '

that the clock inside the

EARLY SPRING IN THE WEST.

the Lethb id e
which proclaims an early spring in
Alberta, Cardston claims the record
for early wheat seeding. On Satur-
day, Feb. 270, a farmer seeded a
small acreage and reported the soil
in good shape. At Magrath, one of
the best gardeners has already plant-
ed onions. radishes and peas, and
his ground 'appears to be in the pink
of condition for work." The Herald`
publishes the following article under

says in the movies: Spring is here,
at least there'is every evidence that
the season,of sunshine and growing
things has returned, although it is ex
tremely difficult to , say this year
where winter . ceased and swine
began, so extraordinarily mild have
been the months of January andFe!-

sap is rising in the maples, trees are
making ready to burst into leaf, golf
fans are brushing the 1925 dirt off

Spell spring, well there are no such

Mr. Lloyd states that present con-
ditions are very similar to those of
1889, and while no motors passed
along the roads as they are doing
today, the only reason for the differ-
ence, he explains, is the fact that
there were no motors known at the
time.
Winter pastimes have suffered
much this winter. The curlers have
had fair ice only 10 days and really
good ice about seven days, according
to an official of the curling, At the
Arena the ice -maker has been in a
panic the whole of the season. Only
19 skating nights have been recorded
and four hockey night. The curlers
claim the winter of 1901-2 hit them
even harder, only one day of curling
being recorded.
