The Seaforth Lions Club held its regular meeting in the Commercial Hotel on Monday night, under the chairmanship of Lion George Hays•. The guest speaker, Wing Com- mander C. Hull, D.F.C. Croix de Guerre, was introduced- by Lion Rev- T. Dale Jones, who was for- merly an R.C.A.F. Padre. Wing Commander Hull traced the development of strategic thinking from the conclusion of World War I, pointing out that it had foilowed• closely the War of Att''tion portrayed by H. G. Wells in 'his sensational books, "Of Things To Come,” The develop- ment of air power, it was consid- ered, could only lead to the com- plete destruction of civilization. During the last war Canada had been in the' fnf•tunate position of having her eastern seaboard pro- tected against attack largely by the vigilance of her own naval forces and. those units of the British Fleet detailed for Atla.ntic duty. Her Pacific Coast was protected by the presence of units of the American Pacific Fleet, while her northern boundaries were safe from invasion by an effective ice - barrier. The three thousand miles of tin -Protected frontier in. the south was eloquent 'testimony of the good intentions of our neigh- bors. Referring specifically to the present position of Canada, the speaker pointed out that owing to the industrial development of the country she could now be cotrsid- eyed as part of the "arsenal of democracy" and as such might be- come the target of aerial "attack, The development of •aircraft to a point that heavy loads of explo- sives could be transported up to a range of 6,000 miles, precluded any possibility that her industrial pop- ulation would be immune from at- tack, Supporting his contention that peace was possible only if there existed a striking force of suffici- ent strength to enforce it, the speaker referred to the League of Nations and its successor and the Executive Council of the United Nations as "fettered giants" on this account. The maintaining of strong de - LIONS SPEAKER Wing CommanTr A. C. Hull, Commanding Officer R.C.A.F.

Hooliganism and lawlessness wet:e effectively held under control. A defenceless coun- try was at the mercy of any coun- try intent on furthering its nation- alistic aspirations by acts of vio- lence. The degree of security that Canada was to en,loy rested with the people and their support of a strong defence program, Wing Commander Hull outlined the defensive organization of the R.O.A.F. from coast to coast, men- tioning specifically the formation of reconnaisance 'squadrons, the nucleus of jet-propelled fighter squadrons and the defensive radar and communications `'chains throughout the country. The train- ing of personnel to operate this defensive scheme was a great re- sponsibility and an undertaking of some magnitude. Lion Al Copland thanked Wang Cotnma.nder Hull for his excellent aiidress and expressed the apprec- fation of the meeting. Tuckersmith Cuncil Aids Brucefield Fire Brigade ® • • • • r.
