Blyth Lions mark 50 years of community service
Though 50 years has passed, the
names are still familiar and the
club's activities continue to benefit
the community as they did when
the charter was first received on
May 3, 1945.
The Blyth Lions Club was
formed by members of families
who still reside in the village or
surrounding area; Sidthorpe, Halla-
han, Elliott, Vodden, Thuell, Rad-
ford and Henry, just to name a few
of the 34 members. The last origi-
nal charter member, Frank Bainton
passed away just two years ago,
leaving Charlie Shaw and Harold
Cook the senior members, each
serving the community for 35
years.
"In the early days, before medical
coverage, much of the work done
by the Lions was to raise money for
eyeglasses, teeth and aid for the
blind as well as shoes," says Shaw.
The results of fundraising may be
different, but the benefits are very
obvious. Some of the more recent
projects completed by the club
include fencing the public school
yard, maintaining Lions Park,
rebuilding the wading pool, creat-
ing the bowling green, providing
one hour of free ice time each week
during the winter for beginning
skaters and donating funds to the
arena.
The Lions are also involved,
along with other local service
clubs, in developing the soccer
field on the fairgrounds.
"It seems that when there is work
to be done, the volunteers come out
to help. During the installation of
the ice at the old arena, the Lions
had their highest membership in its
history, 65. There was enough
work and events to keep everyone
busy and involved," says Shaw.
The community support for the
arena project allowed it to be com-
pleted and paid for in three years.
Though there have been some
HCBE briefs
Board
thanks
Legions
The Huron County Board of Edu-
cation thanked the Legions and
Ladies Auxiliaries across the coun-
ty, at the May 1 meeting, for their
support of schools.
A cumulative total of $50,000 in
donations has been received by the
schools with 25 per cent derived
from the Legion and Auxiliary.
*****
Insufficient registration for
French Immersion at Robertson
Memorial Public School (4) and
Exeter Public School (12) has
resulted in a delay in the implemen-
tation of the program.
*****
The proposed expansion of
Union Gas and the effect on four
local schools was discussed? It Is
hoped that heating upgrades at Hul-
lett CPS, Blyth PS, East Wawanosh
PS and F.E. Madill could be co-
ordinated with the availability of
natural gas.
*****
Funds from the program mainte-
nance budget in 1996, will be used
to supplement the required heating
system conversion project at Turn-
berry CPS.
*****
A motion was passed to continue
to endorse international student
exchange programs and accept
international students participating
in such programs where it can be
demonstrated that Huron County
Board of Education students are
accepted on an equal basis.
*****
ups and downs in membership over
the 50 years, the numbers have
averaged around 35.
"Our club has one unique feature
which is not seen in many other
service groups; we ha.e a large
number of young members, ap-
proximately 20 of the 37. These
members help keep new ideas com-
ing in."
The first major purchase by the
club, Lions Park, receives constant
improvements and additions to pro-
vide a place of enjoyment and re-
creation for the village residents.
Starting with just the wading pool
and some playground equipment,
the park now offers a play centre,
bowling green, club house, ball dia-
mond and picnic shelter.
Lions Park is also the home of a
memorial fountain dedicated to Mr.
Bainton.
The youth of the village have
also received support from the
Lions as they sponsor sports teams,
the Leo Club, Boy Scouting and the
Youth Exchange program.
Blyth Lions have hosted young
people from around the world and
provided financial support to, vil-
lage youth to become involved in
the exchange.
Though the Threshers and Hobby
Association Reunion in the fall of
each year is the Lions' largest
fundraiser, they hold events such as
dances, rummage sales, Vegas
Night, bingo and euchre nights,
throughout the year.
Through the 50 years, there have
been many leaders, each using their
strengths and goals to help the
Blyth Lions to succeed.
