Hon. J. A. Faulkner Speaks
At Goderich Lions
Meeting.
COMPLIMENTS LIONS
Speaking at a Lions Club luncheon
in 'Goderich on Friday, Hon. J. A.
Faulkner, Minister of Health in the
Hepburn government, assured his
audience that so far as he was con-
cerned, small hospitals need have no
fear of losing their nurses' training
schools, as was threatened under the
late administration. He believed that
nurses should receive their training
at hospitals closest to their hornees
and strongly opposed the centraliza-
tion of authority in larger centres.
"From my heart out I possess
that Liberalism that gives equal
rights to all and favors to none,"
the decla
The ouncement will be welcom-
ed by all hospitals, including
Scott morial Hospital here. Be-
cause it Tad not enough beds the
local hospital lost its right to gradu-
ate nurses' over a year ago.
Compliments Lions
Dr. Faulkner highly co n; nlimented
the Goderich and Seaforth Lions
-Clubs for the good work they had ac-
nomplished for the cripple's children
of Huron County, and suggested as a
further outlet for their activities
they take over the supervision of
homes on relief to see that proper
sanitary conditions prevail with spe-
cial respect to sur bine, vt rtilation,
fly screens and the education of the
family in .the use of soap and water.
C. A. Rolbertson, M.L.A., for Hur-
on -Bruce, ill shortly af`er his elec-
tion in June, made his first public
appearance at the luncheon and was
given a warm welcome.

See Pages 6 and 7
Members of the Seaforth Lions
CIub on Monday .evening paid tribute
to the memory. of William Hartry, a
valued member of the Club. When
the 7ndm.4oers had assembled, Lion
President J. M. McMillan addressed
the meeting and paid fitting tribute
to Lion Hartry. This was followed
by a minute's silence.
The chair was occupied by Litre Hal
G. Meir, with Lion J. G. Mills as
assistant. A special feature was the
Presentation of a Lions Key to .Lion
John Beattie. The presentation was
made by Lion President MdMillan . In
replying Lion Beattie stressed how
much Lionism had meant to him and
urged other members to earn keys.
Conn ttee Chairmen reported to
the meeting. Frolic arranetements
were reviewed by the General - Chair-
man, Lion George D. Ferguson. Ev-
erything, he said, was in readiness
for a wonderful evening.
Lion J. G. Mullen was the special
speaker and told in an interesting
manner of his recent trip through
the Canadaian West and California.
Great interest, he said, was being ev-
idenced in the coming California elec-
tion. Upton Sinclair, Dem eratic
candidate, is causing great concern
among manufacturers, business men
and moving picture executives be-
cause of his proposals to aid the un-
employed.
Describing in detail the beauties
of the Canadian West, Lion Mullen
strongly advised anyone contemplat-
ing a trip to see Canada first.

camtpaign in the spots you want to
dry up., If you do that and it carries
we will issue no more licenses after
the present ones expire."
In Huron, Mr. Odette said, licenses
were issued in Seaforth, Goderich and
Blyth only on request of the town
councils. "If you believe the people
are behind you, and I don't believe
you do, or you would adopt the plan
I suggest, you can dry up isolated wet
areas," said 'Premier Hepburn. "You
can make Ontario wet or dry under
the local option plan. We are not go -
in gg to budge from our position"

that the "drys" would ask Ottawa
to revoke its cancellation of the Can-

JUDGE J. A. JACKSON
SUGGESTS REMEDY
FOR PART TIME PRO
Get Rid of That Fellow Who
Wants To -Play Sports
For Money.
"NON - PROFESSIONAL"
"What atmlateur apt needs is an
amateur athlete with a better repu-
tation and a cleaner conscience,"
Judge J. A. Jackson, of Lethbridge,
Alberta, and well known Egmondville
old boy, said :n a cent interview
as reported by daily pers.
"`Ai�berta's verse chieftain sof
sport, Judge J. A. Jkson of Leth-
bridge, suggests a° 4ethod of pro-
'' ducing
•t h i s
young
tf a 1 low,"
c ontinues
t he re-
port." He
would
frankly
like to see
the Ama-
teur Ath-
letic Un-
ruion of
.Canada
do soiree_ -
t h i n g
about it.
"The
answer to that old problem of "sell -
ed professionalism," the state of af-
fairs that has given the amateur a
not -so -good reputation, might be to
designate as a "non-professional" the
athlete who can't afford to leave work
without being paid his time. The
"non-professional" would have all, the
rights of the amateur except that of
holding an amateur card.
Judge Jackson explained his idea
during a recent eastern trip.' He
won't be at the next A. A. U. of C.
meeting here in November, but he
hopes his "non-professional," a forth-
right performer who doesn't have to
take cash when nobody is looking,
will get a hearing.
'Amateurs who now accept money
for broken time are outlawed by am-
ateur- authorities --if they are caught.
"Yet they are nut am n.eurs only be-
cause of force of circumstances, and
they do not wish to be, or cannot be,
professionals," explained the judge.
"They are probably as good ama-
teurs at heart as many of those who
pay their, way. They are unfortun-
ate in not being amateur gentlemen.
"In other words they have to work
for a living. While they are not am-
ateurs, they should not be put into
the professional ranks, and thereby,
kept out of alm.ateur sports."
Amateur sport, the judge said, has
no use for his "semi -pro." He can,
if _he is good enough, get into pro-
fessional sport. "We must, however,
keep the youth who through no fault
of his own, has to be paid fbr brok-
en time. He is not an amateur,
neither is he a pro. He is, a 'nen-
professional,' so why not designate
him as such?"
The business of purging amateur
sport would 'be comparatively simple
if this plan were adopted, Judge
Jackson believed. He right recom-
mend a general tightening up of laws
but that is all that would be neces-
sary.
Get rid of that fellow who wants
to play sport for money. Get him to
admit he's a professional. Keep the
fellow who has to work for a living
--who can't afford to leave his job
unless sport can repay him for his
time away. He's not what we call
an amateur. He's a "nonprofession-
al." That's the Jackson remedy.
