Envoy Newman, "Mrs. Newman and Jack Willits, reeve- of Turnberry Township, were also guests at the dinner. The club heard reports from the various officers of the organiza- tion. Bob ,Walsh, treasurer, read the financial statement, which indicated that over $2200.00 had been taken in, with expenditures somewhat over $2,000:00, leaving a rid. balance -of $146.00. Mr, and Mrs. 'Don Hildebrand; who are leaving shortly for Eng- land, were offered the best wish- es of -the group. Ab Nethery, president, stated that -much had been accomplished during the year. The club house had been built, and while not en- tirely paid for, ho felt that this ob- jeetive could be met in the coming year. ale also, pointed to the work that had been clone in training young people in the safe use of firearms, and felt that this was most avorthWhile project. The reeve of Turnberry, Jack Willits, said that he was glad the club had decided to use land in the township and congratulated the sportsmen on their efforts. j'ehn Cruickshank, ill his address, said that with more people having more 'free time, there had been a tremendous increase in hunting and fishing and" other outdoor SpOrts. In some eases, he remark- ed, the streams almost need side- Walks to take the traffic. Quoting from statistics in Alberta, he show- ed: that hunting.and fishing had in- creased eleven-fold in ten years. This age of leisure, he went on, has meant big business. Hunters alone spent over $10o,00o,000.00 in Can- ada last year.

None of the members Who felt the request for retail outlets should -be Made, expressed an opinion that. bever- age rooms should be opened and made it -clear that they would be in disagreement with the opening of beverage rooms. All members of council seemed of the opinion .that if, at any time, a vote on beverage rooms took place, very little support in ' the community would' be found for the establishment of this typo of out- let. Nearly all members of the coun- cil expressed their dislike of the fact that the issue had betorrie in any way a council matter. The suggestion was raised that .13; re- ferendum on the matter could be taken, However, some expressed November 30th On the- a decided opinion that, h0OTVAO:tatidli, in fact, answered this point.• The mayor remarked that Any- one could take Op a petitions from 25 per cent of those with the right to vote, and it would then be man- datory for council to call a refer- endum. This would, of course,. .be a local option vote en 'the sale of Spirits and' as the c'onminnity , now is in a "wet', status, it would require a 60 per cent-majority' to change the current situation, ,.
