Junior Guild of St. Stephen's church by some of the senior organiza- tion, and they sure did one swell job. For some reason, the attendance of Lions was comparatively small, and the absent ones surely missed a sum- ptuous dinner. The President, G. H. Hargrave, brought before the meeting, a few it- ems requiring immediate attention, and Lion "Mac" McKenney, chairman of the Frolic committee, also spoke brief- ly on matters pretaining to that event. The election of officers was then proceeded with, after which the Presi- dent announced the 'following result: President—H. V. McKenney, 1st, Vice—Phil Durst. 2nd. Vice—Cameron Edgar, 3rd, Vice—M. D. Irvin Treasurer—W. A. Smitten. Secretary—H, L. Knight. Directors—Eltner Fattish and Glenn Johnston, Tail Twister—Ken Edgar. Lion Tamer--Wardie Schaefer. The retiring President, G. H. Har- grave, thanked the officers and mem- bat for the co-operation shown by a majority of the members during the past year and asked that the tame good spirit be shown toward his wor- thy successor and the Club in general. Lion Ken Edgar moved a vote of thanks to Gordon for his efficient ser- vices as President and voiced a few words of coegratelation on his being elected Deputy District Governor of Zone 16, for the ensuing year, Gordon briefly replied and then asked the members to givethe Lions' Roar as •an expression of *predation to the ladies fot: the splendid repast enjoyed. LIONS CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR plained by Mr. Anderson.

This votie.1 of thanks was tendered Mr. Anderson by Lion Harley on 'behalf of 'the Club. Lion Harley introduced Lion Wally Armstrong in his official capacity as Casualty Rehabilitation Officer. Lion Wally told of the organization of the Department of Veteran's Affairs. There were three main branches namely, Treatment, Pensions and Re- habilitation. During the war the total enlistment was 1,104,000 and 25,000 were seriously disabled. In the Lon- don district 2000 were registered at Present in the casualty section. For Huron, Bruce, and Perth, 290 were were registered of which 75 were still in hospital. Lion °Wally stressed five important points in connection with casualty cases; 1. Physical disability need not be an occupational handicap. 2. Disabled Veterans are thoroughly individual and not treated as a group. 8, The important consideration is what a 'disabled veteran can do - not what he cannot (10, 4.. The Minimum physical demands of jobs are not well understood of us are perhaps itielined to consider that most jobs call for full physical capacity whereas most jobs call for only a few of a person's physical apti- tudes. 5. The fact that disabled veterans. compensate for skills they lose by de- velopment of other skills, This is H- lustrated by the blind man who deed.- "8feelil Lion Wally's talk was followed by a showing of the sound film The Third Freedom", Lion Stewart Beattie pro- duced the picture and was thanked by Lift Wally.

Lion Harley introduced Mr, Ander- son of Toronto and asked him to ex- plain features of different types of swimming pools. Mr. Anderson pro- ceeded to outline features of three dif- ferent typs of pools. The first was the "fill and draw". type where the pool was drained every night and scrubbed down and refilled. This type was very satisfactory for wading pools when chemicals were used in the water. The second type was known as the run ning through type when the water frorna stream or spring was conducted through the pool and again discharg- ed. It was very difficult to treat wat- er when used in this manner. The third and most favored type was the recirculating type where pure water was run into the pool, chlorine was added and the water was filtered and recirculated. This plan was favoured nesday. Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer were ins- by the Department was the It really swimming •February. " in pure drinking water and this was the ideal condition.
