"This type of citizen is civicâ€"minded and could not be content without givâ€" ing unselfish service to community inâ€" terests. "Few localities of importance are now without a Kiwanis Club nor can community welfare ‘be so rapidly proâ€" moted without an organization of this character. "Someone has divided the history of this country into exploration, coloniâ€" zation, exploitation and conservation. Kiwanis conserves the better and nobâ€" ler impulse of human nature. Our forefathers clung to the rule of right and the law of duty, and passed on to us Liberty and Justice. The sgreatest glory of a freeborn people is to transâ€" mit that freedom to their children. Membership in Kiwanis is limited to men of unquestioned character. "Because the objects of Kiwanis emâ€" brace the highest and noblest aims of life the scope of its efforts must be broad and deep. The carrying out of the Golden Rule is not merely for personal advantage. It is essential to community and national life. "Kiwanis exists when the need arises and is prepared to go into action quickâ€" ly and efficiently and it expresses the desires of a real crossâ€"section of the community. "The development of modern social life and business methods renders it necessary for men to frequently conâ€" sult and counsel together," the speakâ€" er said. "Individuals as individuals can accomplish little. It requires a union of effort to effect desired results. Many questions are continually arising which demand harmony of endeavor and an organization such as Kiwanis is the answer. This does away with many men trving to do the same thing at the saume time by different methods. He was introduced by Kiwanian Ralph Ellis who spoke of Mr. Langâ€" don as a good Kiwanian of long standâ€" ing, prominent in active as well as educational matters and was thanked by Kiwanian W. G.

Both sides produced excellent points showing that they had given the matâ€" ter very serious consideration, and many of the points made produced reactions on the part of the audience who behaved excellently, but permitted their sense of humor to be in eviâ€" dence when some strons statements were made and refuted. The Schumacher High School sent over Irving Fraser and .Jack Beatty to hold the~fort for the negative side while Joyce Rogers and Doug Flemâ€" ing for South Porcupine affirmed that "movies have a detrimental effect on youns pgeople". Both sides held their audience, and the judges, Rev. R. J. Scott, Mrs. Maxâ€" wellâ€"Smith and Mrs. Frank Huggins, had to very closely compare points before finally arriving at the decision that the affirmative, South Porcupine, had the edge slightly over the negaâ€" tive, Schumacher, and that movies have a detrimental effect on young people. A very spirited and interesting deâ€" bate was held in the High School Audâ€" itorium on Monday afternoon before the assembled students. S.

Night Duchesne, on an icy road, with brakes in poor condition, ran into a car driven by H. Desjardins when Dbu« chesne tried to stop at an intersecâ€" tion.

Three lads were arraigned on a charge of breaking and entering, and stealing $35 from a safe in Schumacher High School on Dec. 26. Two of the lads were discharged as they could not be connected in anyway with the crime, but Robert Martin acknowâ€" ledged by written confession, not proâ€" duced, that he was guilty. _â€"Constables stated that the safe had been taken from the principal‘s office to the gymnasium, the back slashed open and contents scattered. As Martin is already under sentence of three months for forgery given at a hearing in Timmins last week, the magistrate sentneced him to nine months for this offence, to. run conâ€" currently, making a 12â€"month term.
