GENTLEMEN'S CLUB NEWS ITEMS Last winter the Brussels Lions sponsored an amateur contest which was a grand success, about 40 competitors who had to pay the sante admissiOn as everyone else. The most pf these amateurs brought along mom and dad and of course grandma and grandpa, came to see how much better their own flesh and blood Wes than Shirley Temple, Jackie CoOgan and any others, This made an audience alone of 200. The show itself was produced at minimum cost. The only item that raised the budget was a maple 2 x 4. The Lions never heard of supporting their own community so it was puchased. Wingham or Listowel. It was cut into inch lengths and the pieces, painted. A little tinsel was-placed on top and it was called a plaque, and this was the prize. Well, with all the money at hand they decided to give them- selves a. banquet, which was held the other nite in the Legion Hall. They had turkey and all the trim- mins, tom: to juice, apple pie made from Nova Scotia apples, and ice cream. Right after this gorge-us dinner and to give the food a chance to digest they had to my righteous indignhtion, to my surprise and to my dismay, and to their everlasting shame. The Paul Brothers and. Shirley. Please excuse me dear reader, I am too much of a gentleman, to express my feelings with pen, too much a christia.n to express them with words and I'm glad to one can know what 'Pm thinking: Every ,Lions Club has an official Tail Twister, well, I have selected nly;. self unofficially as one and be- lieve me I'm goiti,g to twist Wile 'till they tweekl The morning of the banquet I came down to McOutcheon's, as usual, to see whether they had stolen a car or just broken into the garage the night before. Jack, came over and asked me if I wanted a job that day: Well, I says to myself, George is ashani, ed of himself in getting the Pauls for to-nice, instead of me and he's trying to make up. The Lions want. me to introdu.ee the boys. See that Shirley has ginger ale or cake, and look after the "preps". In show biz props are chair, table or whatever Is required on stage. Well, I thetight, after all everyone makes mistakes, so 1 says to .Tack, sure Jack, sure. It was a raw cold morning and he took me outside and showed me a pile of lumber a draw bar and two banithers, says; p1111 the spikeS oat of the good hoards end pile them over here. Now the bar he gave me to work with, only one plan ever lit ed who could handle it and he's dead. .Sampson. The pile of lamb- er was a trifle bigger than the ,Preebyterian Church. Well, it was too cold to take it easy but my temper kept me warm. I broke both Hanauer handles and bent the bar by noon. Never did. I see so many bent nails and spikes. When Jake Fischer put up that building he must have thought it was another Noah's Ark or it nad to stand an atomic bomb.. For years, 25 of them, I have always included in my program a Speech, with a boost for the 'home town. Other entertainers said this speech gets me more engagements than any other Can- adian Act. In has given me free hotel accomodation, free restaur- a( tnhtiss, tihse kle0y0 t op eart leeeanstt s i cxo rt or ewents) the license for entertainers in Alberta is $50 per year. The. Chamber of Commerce in a number of towns out there wrote the government and my tax was refunded. I was made • a life member of Sask. Wheat Growers in Meadow Lake, 1946. Yorkton Fair Board (Sask.) has it written in their records that I be engaged at any time for their exhibition on two hours notice at a price, quote, "in comparison with high- est priced, act" already engaged. Perth and Victoria Counties in N. B. gives me a license for $1.00. \The regular fee is one hundred. In Clementsport, N.S. the chtfrch records say "sponsor the Kansas Farmer whenever possible". I could go on and on. A prophet is not, without honor save in his own country. The title of the speech "Sup- port your own village, and help your own people". I will, in the near future, write this masterpiece • You 'will never hear it, again in Brussels but you. hear a better one at my next farewell concert. I always con- cluded this booster speech with a recitation. The first verse: If you want to live in the kind of a town, The kind of a town you like, You, needn't slip your clothes in a grip and go away on a' long, long hike. You will only find what you left behind, there's nothing that's really new. If you knock your town you knock yourself, it isn't the town, it's you. Well, my blisters grew bigd -, and my fingers got more splinters, and my feet got colder and the iron bar got heavier, the day of the banquet. 1 started to change my former foolish speech. I have already changed the verse, It now' reads. if yott want to live in the kind of a toevn, the kind of a town you like, You get to get rid of such people as Cousins, McCutcheon, and Tke, Pearson. Parker, Mc- Fadden, McDonald; Lions one and all. While T break my back with this blasted bar. how much are they paying Paul. Truthfully Yours T. K. F.
