In his inaugural address, Mr. Meir emphasized his belief in the splendid work the Lions Clubs, both locally awl internationally, are. 'doing. He stated that he firmly believes that those not on active service should put forth every effort that the club and servicework be:maintained, Thus for the 15,000 Lions now on• active service there will be not -only a bet- ter community but a better club to which to return. He stated that the inspiration of Lionism comes from service which the clubs perform..
