DISTRICT GOVERNOR CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The Hamilton vote was the largest on record, with .190 out of a possible 230 casting their ballot: / The convention started on Friday and ended on Tuesday. 'The vote for governors was . taken on Tuesday morning. A club was eligible for one vote for every ten, in its club membership. . The convention was comprised of clubs from Ontario, Quebec,' Lab:- rador and Newfoundland with fourteen district governors elected. All voted. on Tuesday morning and all results were announced at the same time. About. 6000 Lions and their wives attended the event. Grant contested ' the Governor- ship of District A-9 against two men, Stewart MacKinnon, of Wiadon, District Deputy Governor of Region '16 and Dougald Camp- bell of Elmira, District Deputy Governor of Region 9/. Dougald is a native of Blackhorse in Kinloss Township and attended Lucknow District High School: Upon being elected as DiStrict Deputy Governor of Region 3 last year, Grant Chisholm wrote an editorial on his views on Lionism which follows: BIRDS OR BEASTS? "It's great to be a Lion." We have heard speakers at our meetings start this way, and tell us how, over 50 years ago, Melvin Jones of Illinois, distressed at seeing needy, suffering people, decided to do something about it. He formed a club where the more fortunate members of society could meet, enjoy good fellowship, and serve the' needs of those around them who were not so fortunate. The ,club was named the Lion Club, after the "King of Beasts". A Code of Ethics was worked out that makes one feel humble, yet proud, to be part of such a honourable association. The em- blem, ,the face of a lion, alert and roaring, looking both to the past and the future, decorates our pins, flags, and other paraphernalia. Looking back, we see a steady growth 'of clubs and members, becoming international with forma- tion of a club in Windsor, Ontario. Sincethen, the idea has spread into, practically every free country in the world, with membership of well over a million men, ' forming the world's largest and, most respected service club organization. Volumes upon volumes could be written of good deeds to individ- uals, to community service, and to all mankind, by each Lion, each club,' and by Lions International as a whole. Today, our, collective efforts to help the blind and hard of hearing, and our work for the betterment' of the youth, are recognized by everyone. However, today, our nation's most priceless resource' -- the minds of our young people -- is being dulled and eroded by 'a constant stream of filth and . .pornography that our permissive society allows to be called art or entertainment. In .this respect, one might think thelions are like that large African bird, the ostrich, with its head. in the sand, ignoring the danger and hoping it will go away! One feels a little sad when our children go through the' entertain- ment page of the daily paper and ask, "Are 'there any shows for us kids; Dad?" Movies and magazin- the es today, portraying and glorifying crime, and sadistic and depraved sex, make a mockery of our hard working, God, fearing • pioneers, who made this nation what it is today. Would not all Lions rally to help a .single.child whose sight or, hearing wasbeing destroyed, if there was a way to provide that help? Are' our sensitivities becoming so dimmed that we alloW the works, in films and print, of these depraved profiteers to flow' across our borders, and say nothing? Silence means consent! Perhaps if the Lion lifted his head and made a loud roar of disapproval, it would encourage our youth to realize that someone cares, and to believe that there really is a right and wrong. Perhaps some lawmaker or politic- ian would hear this roar and take steps to clean up , this moral pollution, and put the 'stag' movies in the back alley or the cellar, where they belong. It can be done, for we have just Witnessed the efforts of one judge in the United States, whose dogged pursuit of truth and justice brought down a man from the highest and most powerful office in the world for his misdeeds. We Lions are intelligent enough to be concerned for our nation's safety. Lion ism is contagious, be a carrier, and let's hear that Lion • Roa.r!!!!
