The Wingham Advance-Times, 1944-03-16, Page 7writing rooms provide them with lila-
toriA)s and a comfortable place to write
lettern the billiard rooms provide
them with a place to while away an
hour or a day; comfortable chairs in
a large and bright lounge room at-
tract those who tire of going places
or 'are recovering from the previous
clay's sight-seeing tour — for London
has much to show the visitor despite
the punishment it tools during the
blit; the washroom provides them
with a place to clean up and free shav-
ing equipment is provided so that the
boys do not need to carry shaving
kit with them while on holiday. Sev-
eral sections of the ;building are given
over to providing them with food, The
queues are endless, in our tour we
visited the kitchens where they pre-
pare the food and the odor was such
as would tempt anyone to eat, The
quality and quantity of the dinner be-
ing served for about 33 cents caused
one to marvel that it could be pro-
duced so cheaply for outside of the
Beaver Club -the same meal could not
be obtained for less than five shillings,
about $1,25, if obtainable at all in any
high class 'London hotel. Inspecting
another queue we found them being
served delicious pancakes smothered
with Canadian maple syrup and dough-
nuts hot from the machine which turn-
ed out about 1400 daily—all that the
flour quota would 'permit. In another
room sandwiches were provided—but
in each section there was an endless
queue and the volunteer workers sel-
dom enjoyed an idle moment. There
was no need to ask the boys what they
thought of it all for it was clearly
evident on their faces that the Beaver
Club was providing thdin with a home
away from home.. The pleasant man-
ner in which the volunteer workers
went about ,their tasks added a great
deal to the atmosphere of the Club.
102,000 Canadians Registered
At the Information Desk we were
rather rather surprised to learn that `over
102,000 Canadians had registered, at
the club. As each man makes use of
the club he is expected to register,
leaving his name and address with the
club. No record is kept of succeeding
visits. Through these records the boys
can learn quickly if their friends have
arrived from Canada and visited Lon-
don and the address permits them to
make quick connections with their
friends.
Find Lodgings
The chub does not rum a rooming
house, but it does aid in finding, beds
for those who need them. Bed and
breakfast may be secured for two
shillings or about fifty cents, which
ia very reasonable indeed. On. Satur-
day night the overflow crowd is hard
to handle, but as a last resort the air
raid shelters in the tubes are used and
a comfortable bed is provided. Special
buses carry ,the boys to the shelters
where blankets are provided and
canteen service available.

about half way across, they met a load
of hay going in the opposite direction.
So they had the other larnier back into
one of the limbs until they got past.
Lion Gord thought the story good en-
ough to escape a fine. On asking Lion
Hal. MacLean, as a former lumber-
man ,if he thought the story was true,
Lion Hal, replied he was sure it was
true as he was the man on the second
load of hay.
The Tailtwister produced a copy of
the Advance-Times and claimed that
Lion Harry Gibson had tried to secure-
some free advertising in connection
with a talk on fox raising recently re-
ported in the paper. The word bread
had been used and although Lion
Harry claimed it was not his fault, he.
was fined.
Lion Fred Spry was welcomed back
to the Club after his recent illness
and -he in turn thanked the Lions for
the basket of fruit sent him, The .
Tailtwister found a nickel plated one
cent piece in the fine box and he felt
that as 'the Western Foundry was the-
only place in town where this could
be done, he fined Lion Fred Spry for
turning out nickel pl.ted coppers.
Lion Harold Victor Pym favored
with a solo number with Lion Bill
Connell at the piano. This was a song
with the Red Cross as the theme and.
on mentioning that it could be bought
at McKibbon's Drug Store, the Tail-
twister fined Lion Jack McKibbon fo'r
the free advertising. The song was,
much appreciated. Lion Chas. Rob-
erts reported that the Red Cross
campaign was making fine progress
and he felt that the objective would
soon be reached,
The matter of co-operation with a
local' committee in making a canvass
of the town for a worthy object was
discussed and it was agreed that the
Lions co-operate and heading up the
campaign with a donation of $100. A
committee was selected to co-operate
in this matter. The meeting closed,
with the usual song and Lions' Roar.

and injuries of many kinds. The lack
of infection was amazing,.
It was noteworthy that in nearly all
the towns ,schools were the most im-
portant buildings. These had been
erected,in recent years by the Fascist
party with the view to improving edu-
cation in Italy.
The address proved most interesting

was tendered Capt. Torrance and he
was invited to sit in with the Lions

story from Lion Ed, Gibson who
promptly arose to the occasion by tell-

known in Northern Saskatchewan.
One time while timber cruising in that
district they came to a deep ravine
with no method of getting across.
They felled a large tree causing it to
fall across the ravine. A farmer came
