ADDRESS ON HYDRO
SHORTAGE SITUATION
The members of the Exeter Lions
Club held their regular meeting in
the parish hall of Trivitt Church
on Friday evening of last week, sup
per being served by the ladies of the
church. Lion President J. G. Dun
lop presided. A donation of $150'
was voted for the Lions British.
Children’s War Victims’ Fund;,
$35 to the War Memorial Children's
Hospital, London; $15 to the Navy
League and $10 to the Byron Sani-
torium Christmas Seal fund. The
matter of salvage was discussed and
a resolution passed that each mem
ber give cue night to assist with
the work.
The Christmas Tree concert for
the school children of the commun
ity and the Santa Claus Fund came
up for consideration. Because of
supplies being unobtainable and
few persons on relief it was felt
that this effort might well be dis
pensed with this year. However,
Lions, C. L. Robertson, G. Lamport,
R. E. Russell and J. M. Southcott
were appointed a committee to look
into the matter and if necessary co
operate with any othei' committee.
Two draws were made for a chick
en and a duck. The draws were
made by Ted Dietrich, a visitor, and
fortunately he drew his own tick
et for one of the prizes and James P.
Bowey was winner of the other
prize.
Lion Ken Lamp man introduced
Mr.' Dietrich, ef the Ontario H.E.
P.O,, who gave a short address, em
phasizing the need for the conser
vation of hydro by private consumers
in order to make it available for
war production. Since the begin
ning of the war fifty million dollars
have been spent on hydro construc
tion. Hydro holds the key to On
tario’s war production and war pro
duction has first claim on hydro
power. We can only meet the chal
lenge for production by conserving
hydro. The importance of turning
off all lights' and appliances when
possible was emphasized. Mr. Diet-
rich, who had been at the school
during the day, lecturing to 'the pu
pils and showing moving pictures,
also showed several reels depicting
the gigantic work of hydro construc
tion and also bombing flights, both
day and night, over France and
Germany. They were interesting
and instructive. Lion S. B. Taylor
moved a vote of thanks.
