Jim has aunenaar:i eti our goal, which is, to matte life more natural and enjoyable, partiouiay'l n for children in the area. DUNCAN: Other features le the field of health have been undertaken. For a num§ er of years now the teeth of the children in the town and 1 o -I calico hav'•been examined and defects drawn to the attention of the par -1 ..ants. BEATTIE: We are not all blessed with the same amount of goods, but i we are all citizens, so it is necessary in many instances to have the defects remedied at the expense of the club. ' :STEWART.: And glasses are pale vided for children with defective eye- sight. Our club did no more . than their duty, helping .their fellowmen. We are all neceesary cogs in a come plex civilization. Perfect, or near perfect health, is to the advantage, not only of individuals, but to the citizensas a . whole. Come in, Mr. Chairman, -do more than merely hold down the chair. •C'HAIRMAN: You switch from health to citizenship and the respon- sibilities thereof so rapidly that I am afraid that the audience will grow dizzy. Some people do not think as you do, that every job deserves an. equal rating in our civilization. ''To them, their job is the only one, no matter what that task is. _But we had better proceed with our topic. Jack? BEATTIE: I am going to turn to, an adult feature. „The Lions Club has for many years sponsored a Christmas party for those in -the Huron County Home. They seem to enjoy the con- certs and the small gifts that are left by Santa Claus. CHAIRMAN: It seems to me that The Huron Expositor carried an art- icle about two of our members who were determined that this effort should not lapse. The roads were im- passable for cars, so Wes. Beattie and the late Jack Daly hitched up Old Dobbin and the party went on. STEWART: A left-handed plug for the paper. We also send baskets to the shut-ins. Say, Bill, what about the annual Christmas tree and Santa Claus? DUNCAN: Oh, our annual Christ- mas tree has growninto a real bang- up party. Last Christmas' Santa Clausgave out about 900 stockings at the tree: I don't know whether he was responsible for the movies, but we had them also. CHAIRMAN: We must° hurry along, so that some of the other ac- tivities may be summarized. Jack, you might tell us of some of the ef- forts during the war. BEATTIE: Our members helped' with salvage• and relief drives, and in, common with other service clubs, we supported the Red Cross. We assist- ed financially tri the British•Child War Victims' Fund. As a matter of fact, our club still looks after four chil- dren, and will do so until they reach the age of 16. CHAIRMAN: Our activities during the war reflect those of our citizens generally. The care of the British children until they reach the age of 16 reveals the continuing cost of war. I wonder if one of our members would tell us if there were any other activi- ties? DUNCAN: Earlier. we mentioned how the citizens helped with the park and swimming pool. Our club reci- procated by assisting the bowling club. The ground on which we now see 18 beautiful greens was also an I unsightly mess. By working together 1 e have turned this area into a splendid bowling green and beauty spot. BEATTIE: As an old bowler; it is one of the finest greens in Western Ontario. • CHAIRMAN: Visitors to the park and green next summer may verity your remarks. •STEWART: Let them come; the more, the merrier. CHAIRMAN: You fellows selected me as chairman for this broadcast •before my arrival at our first meet- ing. Here comes the payoff: 'Jim, how much money has this club raised in the last 23 years? STEWART: Mr. Chairman, I an- ticipated such a question. We have raised approximately $50,000. Of this amount, park construction and main- tenance has cost over twenty- thou- sand. We spent on crippled children and health services ten thousand., Our Christmas. activities cost us be- tween four and five thousand. Dona- tion§ to war activities and Red Cross account for an additional five thou- sand. Other town activities that we have supported received well. over five thousand. BEATTIE: A sizable sum, if I do say it. It seems to have been spent in a very satisfactory manner. Many people put a good deal into these ac- tivities, but I know from experience that they got real satisfaction out of every effort. DUNCAN: You crin say that again, Beat. I know that I did. CHAIRMAN: Now, Bill, we don't want the listening audience to think that we gathered all this money by assessing our members or by fining them for misdemeanours. You had better tell us how it was raised. DUNCAN: We have used two s ory and proceed to have the township en- gineer bring in a report calling for repairs which they believed to be necessary. On motion of Councillors Brock and Simpson, petition was ac- cepted and referred to engineer. William Johns, collector, reported that he had virtually completed the sending out of tax notices, and that tax money had begun to come in. On motion of Councillors Eliering- ton and Tuckey, orders were drawn on the treasurer to the amount of $2,513.20, including the annual salar- ies and the payment to the Township of Hay, the Wildfong Drain assess- ment. The road superintendent pres- ented vouchers to the amount of $1113.81 ,for payment from the roads and bridges account. Council adjourned to meet again on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 6.—Harry Strang, Municipal Clerk. nagntbiy Weft g at tlxe hone of 1111rs, .T. Smillie, wit,* M,lsis. „Consitt assist ing.

After . stinging the Ode, "When You and I Were Young, Mag- gie," was used. la observance of Re- membrance Day a two minute peridd of silence followed, after which the president repeated prayer. Miss Oonsitt 'presented important data concerning the early history of Hensall, referring to the roll cal, "A contribution for the Tweedsmuir lage -History"—a local Institute pro- ject of which Mrs. Munn and Miss Consitt ate in charge. 'Miss Audrey Walsh provided a lovely solo, "Annie Honey," accompanied by here mother. Two representatives' of an aluminum firm appeared and 'outlined their sell- ing program. The motto, "It is our past that has made its what we are," prepared by Mrs. R. Elgie, was read by Mrs. F. Beer, "Suver Threads Axaong the Gold" was sung.' A piano„ solo was- rendered by Miss Edna Walsh, followed by the business session. The president referred to the illness of Miss. L. Jeckell, Exeter. It was moved by Mrs. Shirray,- sec - major efforts each year: the Summer Carnival in July and the Hallowe'en Frolic. We have received more and more support for the carnival and frolic. More people come each year, and they come from greater distance's. BEATTIE: The Lions Club only spearhead the frolic and the carnival. The citizens generally regard these as their own, and push, them to the limit. Of course, the funds are used for projects within the community. CHAIRMAN: Jim, you might bring us up to date do the financial aspects. STEWART: The proceeds from last year's Hallowe'en frolic—$1,048— was given towards a Legion Hall. ,This year 50 per cent of the proceeds are for the ..Scott Memorial Hospital. These projects' ought to work out for the betterment of Seaforth and com- munity, and need no further com- ment. Yes, Bill? DUNCAN: The educational. com- mittee of the Lions Club are making available two scholarships this year. The amounts are not large, but we feel they will be an incentive.' Our thought is to help in a small way de- serving students. We trust that they in turn at a later date will help other students. ' BEATTIE: That sounds like com- mon sense. Any community gains through the development of the latent talents of its citizens, particularly its young people. This has been a guid- ing motive in the park, swimming pool and other activities. STEWART: Say, we have used the word "activities" a goodly number 'of times. We want to be certain that we hold in Seaforth our fair share of the educated and talented individuals. CHAIRMAN: You aren't hinting by any chance, that 'when' talentsare developed then they leave town and become "exports." STEWART: Oh, no, but we should remember that we can be as proud of the boys and girls and the men and women who help to develop Sea - forth and.community-as some of our exports- who shine in other places, CHAIRMAN: There is room t'or. both types. of pride. Now another question. Bill, would you summarize .what .a member receives out of Lions Club? • DUNCAN: Well, in addition t6 the fellowship, an opportunity is given for the understanding of the view- point of the other members. I saw this phase in another club that .we visited recently. This club was in a small place, and its membership was urban and rural. We need to build up an understanding between groups in our own country, as well as be- tween nation and nation. Service clubs can assist in this process, and extend it by inter -club visits. BEATTIE: Also, a group of this size can bring in outside speakers. Such speakers keep us abreast of new developments. 'STEWART: And many of our own membersexpress ideas and visions. These visions become the goals of the whole membership. Thus, we as a club, learn to plan together and work together. Much has been ac- complished at •the Park, but there are still other improvements to be made. More playing fields can be laid out, and these fields should be floodlight- ed. There are great opportunities for the provision of other facilities such as a picnic pavilion as soon as funds permit. ,CHAIRMAN: You plan to keep us busy, Jim. Judging from the interest within the club in the past, and with the co-operation of the residents in Seaforth and the surrounding' area, your suggestions will find expression in th.e corning years. It is' almost time to turn the mike back, but` be- fore we do so, may I, on behalf •of the panel, express our appreciation to Community Programs, Department of Education, and CKNX, for the oppor- tunity given to tell of our Club and of the activities in Seaforth.
