KINSMEN CLUB HAS INTERESTING HIS TORY
From a modest beginning in the
City of Hamilton, back in 1920, the
Association of Kinsmen Clubs has
grown to a total of $22 regional
clubs and a memberihip far in ex-
cessof 10,500. The Krnsmen Club
was founded to promote and direct
fellowship among young business
and professional men within Canada
,and it i,s dedicated to serve 'The
Communities' Greatest Needs".
Kinsmen efforts have been devot-
ed to the provision of medical, edu-
cational and recreational facilities
for the community in which each
club exists.
The first club was formed
Harold Rogers with the idea of de-
veloping the men within its ranks,
and contributing, as much as possible
to public service. To this end, club
ies are directed to the- teach-
ing observance of parliamentary
pwedure, upholding constituted
authority, business and profession-
al ethics, co-operation, tolerance, un-
derstanding and equality between
all racescreeds and nationalities.
While building the men within
its own ranks, each Kinsmen Club is
making a definite place for itself in.
SELF DESTRUCTION
I arrived a few minutes early for
church last Sunday morning. While
waiting for the Aervice to begin I
noticed the sun shining on the mem-
orial window, My eyes dropped to
the seven names of those who gave
their lives in the Great War, that we
might live in freedom.
What freedom? While ponder-
ing, my eyes travelled a short dis-
• tance to the left and I rearized4 was
'looking at the honour ,of the
Second World War. Again I realiz-
ed that stars indicated that three
had made the supreme sacrifice that
we might live in freedom.
Do we appreciate this freedom;
iour homes, our educational system,
Our choice of work, our freedom of
religion, our freedom of triVel ; our
freedom tti drive our cars \then and
where we wish with -only a minimum
of restrictions? What a privilege it
is in this land of many miles. It is
also a responsibility• .
Durmg time years of War 10
young men gave their Jives to pur-
chase this for us. Memtuies are
short hut in the 'minute or two that
remained 1 was able to think of
five who had Jost their lives.in car
accidents.
There will 'be no memorial win-
dow honouring- these; their names
will not be inscribed on honour rolls.
They Aid not give their lives for a
worthy cause. They lost their lives
because of carelessness of their own
Or sorneone else.
We can blame our manufacturers
for building cars with too much
speed and haphazard design with re-
gard to safety. Yet in the final
analysis it is the driver who is re-
sponsible, in almost every ease.
We continue to ignore the traffic
gus and the speed limits. Was it
to retain this freedom that ten
young men from this church gave
their lives
The week of Pehtuary 24th is
Safe-Thiving week in Ontario. It is
hoped that we tan absorb its mes-
sage.

SPEEDACRAZY WORLD
(Elmira Signet)
Hiawatha was a piker compared
tolthe modern paleface.
According to Longfellow: "Swift
of foot Was Hiawatha. He could
shoot an arrow from him arid then
run forward- with such swiftness
that the arrow, fell behind him:".
Queer stories are heard regularly
these days. Remember _the one
about the test pilot who was flying
a new type plane and- testing' the
armament on it? He landed with
holes in the wings. Seems he shot
the cannon in the nose of the plane
and the plane was .going so fast it
caught up -with the shells and two of
them exploded in the same , plane
which had fired them. Three seconds
after firing, the plane intercepted its
own line of fire.
If that isn'tsockeyed, we'd like
to know what is.
It's no wonder modern living cre-
ates ind'igestion, ulcers, cancer, fray-
ed nerves, ill -temper, neuroses and.
fanatics. '
What remains for the mind of
man to do now is to try and emulate
the airplane and its ballets. There
was a time the spiritual growth of

DECLINE OF THE
CINEMA
(Napanee Beaver)
Elsewhere in this newspaper
appears a letter from a reader 'ex-
pressing regret at the closing of the
movie theatre in Napanee, a step
which is expected to be taken short-
ly. The decision to close, Na.panee's
theatre is no doubt simply the result
of changing tastes in entertainment,
a r'flection of a change which has
taken place pretty much throughout
North America.
The coming of television has
-caused decline in the cinema, and
in Napanee the popularity of the
Community Arena has no doubt also
hastened that end. Our -correspon-
dent's letter contains an unmistak-
able tinge of sadn'eSS at the passing
of an institution /vhich has caused
much pleasure for young and old
alike through the years and, harbors
many happy memories to thousands
now grown up and moved away.
There is nothing quite to compare
with the, memory of a Saturday af-
ternoon in the local "show" at about
the age of 10 or 12, with a bag of
popcorn in hand, Mickey Mouse
cartoon on the screen, and another
exciting chapter of Tdrzatt of the
Apes coining tip.
The day of the motion picture is
far from over and good' pictures will
continue to do well, but in small
towns all over the emnitry, theatres
are finding it hard tory
disappearance is accompanied by a
feeling of loss like the farewelt. di A
long and faithful friend.
I Accidents Are My Business
Proaa ConStable "Bob" LeWis
rot. 'the beginner., Writing a
newspaper gremlin Is a queerly int -
personal thing. One sits down at
the typewriter, Puts a few ideit4 on
paper, and then wandere down to
The Advance -Tittles Office and
hands the finished product to the
inAn behind the desk. lie saes
"thank you" and you proceed to
fotget the whole affair. The only
feeling encountered IS possibly one
or relief thet it is alloveed for• an-
other week. Of course on Wednes,
day you buy a eeleY of the Paper
to be sure that they haven't spelled
your metne incorrectly, but all in
all there is no feeling of personal
contact with readers,
'Then suddenly someone you
know, or sometimes even 4 Perfect
stranger wilt stop you on the
street end say "Saw your eolOmn
in the paper this week; I I" and
cePtinue perhaps Pity you didn't
spend another year or two in
scbool" or some similar flatterieg
reniark. You realize then that
-Writing isn't at all just a matter
of putting a few words on paper
and' 'then forgetting about it. A
eolurrie in a paper however badly
Written does apparently have a cer-
tain aniount of effect, This I have
discovered by the number of people
Who , have stopped me and said
"When I was driving 'on such and
each a road the other day, some
'idiot did so and so, we earnest had
an accident, why don't you write
'about that?" — Very well! This,
• weel.t I will do just that. I will list
the prealmal complaints of those
Citizens who have voiced them to
me. In each case I know the !lame
of ' the complainant. I do not
know the name of the person about
whom be was complaining It could
'quite easily be YOU.
The most common complaint
seems to he about the driver who
having parked his car, steps with -
nut thought, out cm to the travelled -
portion of tile highway into the
path of an oncoming vehicle.
Baring theeee days of snowbanks
quite often there is little room to
manoeuvre a vehicle around such
to obstacle. Quite often we have
miner accidents because of this
habit, tsually just a bent door,
but remember next time it hap-,
pens it might be you and what is
more you might be between that
door and the 'oncoming vehicle—
,
rnessy4 Wharf
Another big complaint is about
the InoteriSt Who Sets out in the
morning without botherieg to clean
the snow Off. his windows and
windshield. This is a very com-
mon practice, one which I might
add leaves the driver open to a
charge nt "Clareless driving" in
the event Of en accident.
In addition to this, any motorist
who will deliberately set out, even
for jut a couple of hloelre, UnoVe-
ing full well that be cannot see
what is coining, Is, I think you will
agree, just asking for anything he
gets.
Then running these two a close
third we have the double parker.
At any time this traffic pest's
habits are Most annoying, but
during the Winter when, with
snow banks arid legally parked
cars, the travelled portion of any
highway' is reduced to a minimum,
he ' becomes insufferable, Most
double-parkers I have encountered
will tell you that, they oply left the
car there while they ran into a
store for re minute, or else they
only stepped for a nernite to let
out a passenger. Believe me that
minute is just go seconds too long
It takes only the merest fractiop
of 'a second for an accident to
happen, so unless you have a desire
to spend a little time in the local
hospital—don't double park!
I would like to give you a little
more news about our School Safety
Campaign, Since I last wrote we
have received the following dona-
tions an RCA Radio from the
Berry Door Co., Ltd.; and a Kodak
Hawkeye, CaMera outfit from Re-
liance Gas. We have rebeived per-
mission to display the prizes we
have on hand in the window of
George Tripp's barbershop at the
corner of Josephine _ and John
Streets.
As most arents probably know
the school children Wrote the
safety examination last week. Al.
lowing the necessary time efe:
marking the papers ive hope to
bold the presentation of certifi-
cates and awarding of prizes in
the High Sawal auditorium or
