"A service club with a member- ship comprised of young men, cen- tering their interest in boys' work, can fill a great need in Wallace- burg at this time," stated Charter President G. Clarence Grainger at the final organization meeting of the Optimist Club of Wallaceburg held last evening in Primrose Gar- dens, "It was amazing that, in a community of this size, so many of the members were comparative strangers to one another until a few weeks ago. The reason of course was due to their absence for several yearsin the various theatres of the war during which time many boy- hood acquaintances had been for- gotten." Grainger is assistant prin- cipal of Central School, and is a leader in Scout circles. • Elected last evening were the per- manent officers of the club who will serve until April 30, 1948.
