to preseat the Wingham Lions Club
on behalf of the Hamilton Lions Club
with a golden key, suitably engraved.
This key is a duplicate key to Christ's
Church, Hamilton, the oldest Cathed-
ra:: re tlor u.a0Cese 0.30. IN.Lab-cla
rector of this grand old church is none
other than Dean Owen, Chaplain, al
H
the andltea Liens, (It was in this
grand old church that Mr. and Mrs. T.
L. Jobb were wedded fifty years ago,
on the first of July.) Alt Linger urg-
ed that Wingham Lions accept this
key in the spirit in which it was given,
viz., as a standing invitation to any
member of the Wing,ham Club to vis-
it with the Hamilton Lions Club when-
ever opportunity offered and they
would always find the latch -string on
the outside to welcome them.
Lion Dr, J. A. Fox, in a few words
proposed a toast to "Community Spir-
it," and coupled with his toast the
name of Rev. H. W. Snell, who replied
in a lengthy and fitting address, the
keynote of which was congratulatory
to the Lions Club in their promotion
of that community spirit, Mr. Snell
said that he had been requested by the
• Lion S to throw out some suggestion
for the Club to work along by way of
a community idea. The only one he
said he would venture to throw out
would be the possibilitSr of opening
up an open air rink where the children
of the town might gather and enjoy
free skating at least once a week.
Licra W. G. Colgate proposed the
toast, "Our Guests," which was ably
responded to by Mr. A. H. Musgrove.
Harry Bennett's Scottish imperson-
ations between speeches were very
popular.
The splendid evening came to a con -
elusion by the singing of "Auld Lang
Syne," and "God Save the King"
The remainder of the night was
spent in dancing.
