District. officials of the associa
tion of Lions Clubs were in toy^n
last Wednesday making contacts
> to detefibine the^;^^
eventually organizing ,a( Lions
'Club in Lucknow. ; . / ■ ?
A Clansmen/meeting was- be
ing held that evening arid these
gentlemen were invited to attend
and explain, their organization to.
the Club.
Vice-president Mac MacLennan
presided in the .absence of Dr.
W. V.. Johnston, president of The
Clansmen since the. Club’s organ
ization some^sixteen years ago.
Of late the Club has not been
very, active, although the mem
bers are presently engaged in
promoting the tuberculosis x-ray
clinic arid ate canvassing the
country on bohal-f of this project.
Wednesday night’s meeting was
called for the election of officers,
and with this; in view President
Johnston arid- - Secretary E. H.
Agnew had tendered their resig-
nations. These were laid over
until after the x:-ray clinic when
another me&tihg will-fbe called.
TO Reorganize Or Not
The question then to be de
cided is whether • or not The
Clansmen will je-organiaq; There
are those who feel that the Club
can be rejuvenated, and resume
the energetic service. and civic
work it has undertaken so suq:-
cessfullyinthelpast.SOTne^seem
to favor an affiliation with a
service organization such as Lions,
arid it was intimated at the meet
ing that there are those outside-
the Club who would like to see
a service club organized.
All seem in agreement that/the
Clansmenmustbq/rejuvenated? or
give; way to a service Club; .
Explain Lions
The set-up. of o a Lions Club,
its principals, objectives and fin
ancial obligations were outlined
in detail by John McKibbon of
Wingham, ip charge of extension
work in the district; Vic Dennin
of Zurich, district governor; and
Frank Fields of Teeswater,
deputy governor for the district.
At present a Lions Club is be
ing organized at Ripley, sponsor
ed by the Teeswater Club. Wing-
ham would be happy to sponsor
a club in Lucknow, should the
decision eventually«be reached to
organize;. . / .

HAS BEEN RHEUMATIC
INVALID FOR YEARS
One tends to accept the eondi-.
tion of the chronically ill or in
valided folk in the community?
until for, one. reason or another,
their plight is brought to mind
more forceably.
One such person is Mrs. James
Irwin of the Second of Kinloss,
who for years has been pretty
much an invalid from a painful
form of rheumatic neuritis.
This illness struck some six
teen years , ago and became pro;
gressively worse until Mrs. Irwin
became so cfippled as to be al-
most completely helpless’-
A Red. Cross wheel chair per?
mits her to be moved about the
home, and is a change from the
monotony of being bedfast. With
the assistance of kind neighbors,
Mr. Irwin ■ does ■ well ' ini /looking;
after Mirs. Irwin’s needs.
