Tall lighted ta­ pers in silver holders adorned the tables, while each of those present wore papei* hats. Merriment mark­ ed the occasion right from the start and there was not a dull moment throughout the evening. Tail Twisters Lions Ulric Snell and T. Q. Southcott found many oc­ casions on which to fine the breth­ ren, a few of whom had provided themselves with coppers for just such an emergency. Seated at the head table were Lion President C, V-. and Mrs. Pick­ ard, District Governor Charles and Mrs. Bennett, Deputy District Gov­ ernor Harold and Mrs, Richmond of London; Secretary ’ Dr, Wm, E. and Mrs. Weekes, Fast President Sandy Elliot and Mrs, Elliot, and the District Secretary, Earl Tay­ lor and Mi’s, Taylor of Faris, Fol­ lowing a short sing-song Lion Harp Rivers, as chairman of the program committee called a number of the ladies to the piano, where they were adorned with paper sunbonnets and sang “School Days”, all joining in the chorus.

Lion Ben­ nett, in his address spoke of the mysterious and dynamic power that unites and holds together one hund­ red and thirty thousand men under seven flags. It was based on one of the greatest foundation .stones of civilization, that of- Christian service. Jt was not for' political, religions or personal gain. The work of the past should be forgot­ ten. We are now passing through a testing time, when strong minds and human hearts are being tested. There is much to be done, greater services to be rendered. We are here for a purpose and our best is none too good. Lionism, based on Christian service and friendship should play an important part in the readjustment days that lie ■ ahead. Every individual should search his heart and determine the capacity in serve. His ■ceived? During a tables were _ __ ___ __ euchre and Chinese checkers werei enjoyed, later to be followed by bingo.

He thanked the school for their expression of appreciation and ■stated that he was not leaving the,. . school but only the office and would continue to be interested in the work. 'The'address was as follows: Mr. B. W. F. Beavers: Dear Mr. Beavers: Twenty-six years ago you were chosen Superintendent of Main St. Sunday School, which office you have filled with acceptance,. During that time you have seen many come into the school, ad­ vance through the grades, unite with the church and assume leader­ ship. Many, too, have moved else­ where and continued the good work. , There have been many times when lack of ’helpers made the work discouraging, but aKer the “clouds of labo.ur” comes the “sun­ shine of retirement.” You have left an indelible impression on the lives of those who have come- un­ der your leadership. In the d to come as we ponder over years that are gone, we will proud to say that Mr. B. W. Beavers was superintendent of School When we attended. Now in order to make “the that binds our hearts in Christian love” more tangible we ask you to accept of this Gladstone bag, not as giving value for value received, but. as a reminder of the many Sab­ baths we spent labouring together in the extension of His Kingdom. Services such as you -have rendered are priceless and for dub reward we commend you to Him Who doeth all things well and who faileth not. While we regret your severance With the office we extend to you our best wishes for your future well-being and pray you may have just enough ‘clouds’ to make a glorious ‘sunset’. Signed on behalf of the School, G. S. Howard, W. G. Medd, ♦’ Ray Waghdrn, Exeter, Ontario, January 19th, 1941.

BOY SCOUTS ATTEND MEMORIAL 3ERVWE The Boy Scouts and the Cubs paid tribute to .the memory of the late Lord Baden Powell in a memorial service at the Caven Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning, and in a rededi'catlon service repeated their pledges. The minister, Rev. Hill, briefly reviewed the life of the Chief Scout, It was while defend­ ing Maf eking, a small town in South Africa, during the Boer War, that Lord Baden Powell gathered to­ gether the boys of the town and taught them to be of use beyond the capacity of what was thought they were capable. On his return to England he gathered together the boys of his native town and taught them outdoor life, to be useful, ob- servant and helpful. The movement grew until, in 1909 it had spread throughout the British Empire. A friendship was formed with the boys of other nations with the idea of peace. The first of the Scout laws is that “A Scout’s honor is to be trusted.” Common honesty is one of the foun­ dation virtues of life,” said the speaker. “Doing a good turn every day teaches unselfishness, being alert to do some (unselfish act for the good of others and then being trained to be useful in case of ac­ cident or emergency, While a Christian himself, the Chief Scout did not attempt to say what kind of a Christian a Scout should be. He should be a (useful member in his own church whatever that denomination happens to be. At the close of the service the ■Scout Master, C. Aylen, led the boys in repeating their pledge and Dr. H. H. Cowen led the Cubs in the Cub promise. H. Sturgis, assistant Qub Master, was present as was Chas: Tanton, one of the original Boy Scouts in England. Mr. Hill is a member of the Scout Committee and the othei’ members -present were J. H. Jones, T* Pryde, and J. M. South- cott. The junior ichoir furnished splendid music. The weather was exceedingly stormy but most of the Scouts and Cubs were present Third Pair of Twins With the call for increased pro­ duction Elgin Rowcliffe,' of the highway, north of Exeter, has a cow that will take a lot of beating.
