President Kester snowed that the total cost of the Toronto trip had been over $1,000.00 while the actual returns from the share of gates at Toronto and Hamilton had been little more: than half that amount. Some players had complained because they had not reâ€" ceived the usual gifts in way of sweatâ€" ers and other equipment. He would have liked to have seen them receive these perquisites, but under the cirâ€" cumstances he thought this would not have been fair. To preserve the finâ€" ances he had felt that all should be saved. They had over $500.00 worth of equipment to start the new season. This means a big saving right at the opening of the season. They had kept everything but the skates of the players. At this stage G. Reid stated that he had been asked by Bill Boucher, forâ€" merly of Iroquois Falls, now of Ottawa, to submit this hockey player‘s name for the place of coach for the Timmins team for the coming season.

As noted before in this article, anâ€" other meeting has been called for toâ€" morrow (Friday) evening and no doubt the report of the committee will be given at this meeting and then steps can be taken to carry on the hockey here for this year, or, if the report is unfavourable to having hockey at all, to forget about it all. ems « hockey executive were meintioned for this committee but they refused to act. The committee eventually apâ€" pointed comprised F. Finchen, Chas. Roach, F. Quesnell, and Joso Everard. It was felt that until this commitâ€" tee reported its findings there was no use of electing officers or attempting other business. Mr. Cowan thought it would be too bad to let hockey die, but it would be well to face the situation and see what best to do. Goaltender Hudnot suggested that a committee be appointed to report on hockey and its chances in town for the season. The committee could see the rink management and find the best terms securable there, and also find the general opinion in town as to whether hockey was wanted and there kind of hockey that would be supported. Mr. Cowan thought Hudnot‘s idea an excelient one, and so did the meeting in general. Accordingly, it was decidâ€" ced to appoint such a committee and have them report back to another meeting at the earliest possible date.

Lynch, a former president of the Sault Ste. Marie Kiwanis Club, but now ‘a resident of Timmins. He gave a reâ€" l view or synopsis of an address by Roe 1Fu1kexson the gifted ‘editor of The | Kiwanis Magazine, who has won fame | no less by his addresses than by his i writings. Mr. [Lynch‘s subject was | "Why I am a Kiwanian," and he made | it clear that membership in a service club like the has advantages and benefits for the individual as well as being of value and service to the lcommunity. In jhis brief but telling address Mr. Lynch made a keyâ€"ring the keystbne, as it were, of his remarks. He took the keys one by one and showâ€" ed their inner significance. One was the key to home, another to the motor oar, another to (the office, and one of the rings held no less a necessity than a bottle copener. It was the keyâ€"ring and the keys of the ordinary man, and the speaker skillfully touched on the bearing that Kiwanis had on each of the common keys of theiaverage man. He showed how each of the keys might. take its due importance in each man‘s life and how Kiwais would help to make each phase the life of the member.. more useful. and. complete, Kiwanians, he emphasized, were cbliâ€" gated to think of others rather than of themselves, and thus all would be the happier, the better. In referring to the address by Mr. Lynch, President Reg. Smith expressed the general feeling of the members of the club when he said:â€""I do not know when I have heard so much inspiration crowded into twenty short Presidaentâ€"elect V. Woodbury read the list of names of the various committees for the ensuing and hoped that they would all work with him during the coming year to make the Timmins Kiwanis Club |continue and flourish as a helpful institution for its members and for the community. Kiwanian Karl Eyre reported on the Kiwanis Milk Fund boxing bouts last week. He expected that when all accounts woere settled there would a fairly good return for the milk fund, despite the fact that weather conditions nad (been unfavourable for the event. He promised a detailed and complete repert of the event and the returns for the next .meeting. / The attendance on Monday‘s meeting was good and there was a very general expression jof opinion that it had been a particulariy good meeting, the inâ€" spiring address of Mr. Lynch being one of the features of the occasion. um en mn u:\ cqmen eml Kiwanis Delighted by Address Monday Amount of Inspiratio into Twenty Minute by .P.
