WHY ORATORICAL
CONTESTS
Lions' Clubs across Canada are
holding Oratorical Contests this
month and many ask why do they
sponsor this p11articular activity. It is
well known.tthat Lions' Clubs are in-
terested in Community Betterment
of all kinds. Some clubs build play-
grounds for children, others have
swimming pools, others devote much
attention to Crippled children,
Health Clinics, Sight Saving Clinics
and the Blind, still others run shat-
ing rinks, sponsor Boy Scouts and
Girl Guides and many clubs do all
of these, of which the Seaforth
Lions' Glub is one.
The growing generation is prob-
ably the first and foremost consider -
generation which tomorrow will be
ation of every Lion. And it is this
the citizens of Canada charged with.
the responsibility for the growth,
progress and development of this
country. Anything which will pro-
mote patriotic thinking among these
young people and stimulate their
interest in the wonderful possibili-
ties of Canada, -is important and
highly desirable. And that is why
Lions' Clubs across Canada are
holding oratorical contests this
month,
The Seaforth contest will be held
in the Collegiate Auditorium on
Friday evening this week. The sub-
ject this year for all contests is:

tario',counties that are affected by
the decision regarding the Canada
Temperance Act announced Monday
in London, •England, by the Privy

canoelling of liquor licenses in hotels

counties remains to be seen.
Present indications are that all

will be - closed shortly, although no
official decision has been+announced.
However, in London, Agriculture
Minister Kennedy indicated that the
decision would bring cancellation of
beer and wine authorities in Peel,
Perth and Huron where the C.T.A. is
in force. "The province must uphold
the law and the places affected just
go dry," said the minister, acting
