Members of the board of trade and town council will meet the newspaper party on its arrival on the 5.35 train, the intention being to take the visitors for a drive around the town before dinner. The Kiwanis have postponed their usual weekly luncheon on Monday and will hold the event in the evening, the newspaper party to be the guests of the Kiwanis Club, the town council and the board of trade for the occasion. The question of the boy sent by the Kiwanis Club to the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, and kept there by the Kiwanis for nine months, after which it was expected that the town would take over the case, came up for discussion. Although the Kiwanis had only intended to keep the lad at the hospital for six months at most, they had extended the time to nine months. Then, feeling that the cost was too large to expend in helping one case only, the matter was taken up with the town council to have the latter At the regular meeting Oof the limâ€" mins Kiwanis Club on Mconday there was no special speaker but the meeting was an interesting one, several matâ€" ters of interest and importance being discussed by the gathering.

Pierce, saying that Rabbi Isserman, of Toronto, the noted Jewish leader and orator, would visit here on Wednesday of this week and that any courtesies shown the distinguished visitor would be appreciated. Mr. Pierce turned the telegram over to Mr. Gauthier, and Mr. Gauthier, in turn, referred the matter to Mayor Geo. S. Drew, who thought the Kiwanis Club might give its kind assistance in the reception of this outstanding visitor. The Kiwanis Club agreed to act as hosts on the ocâ€" casion of the visit here this week of Rabbi Isserman. Club to Act as MHosts for Party of Newspapermen Here Next Week.
