Chamber of Commerce Commences Membership Drive Here Today Y MCA Services Kept Busy in Summer Visiting Rotarian w of Meaford. July and August generally see a tapering off of the club and group acâ€" ivity which keep the YMCA very busy during the Autumn, Winter and Spring terms, and time is found for stock â€" taking and "breath â€" taking", and for making plans for the next terms. But so far this year the lull has not been felt. It is true that the organized club and group programs have eased up, but this has been comâ€" pensated by an increased demand for personal services. Personal interviews, with regard to employiment and other personal probâ€" lems, have sharply increased; all reâ€" quests from employers for help have been fliled. The largest single item as been the requests from members and acquaintances of the Association who are joining the Forces or making a change in employment, for letters ot recommendation and introduction. There have been numerous requests from persons who are leaving on v:aâ€" cation, and other reasons, with regard to accomodation in YMCA and YWCA establishements in other towns and cities. There have even been inâ€" auiries from optimistic Freshmenâ€"toâ€" be concerning University schedules and courses, and the relative merits of â€" Dormittories, Fraternities and rooming houses.

The charge was initiated by Counâ€" cillor J. P. Bartleman, who charged "shocking inefficiency‘" and general lack of supervision in the lifeguard svstem at Gillies Lake. DYr. H. L. ~Minthot sided at the hearing The drowning of Norma Gagnon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Laud Gagâ€" non, 48 Wilson avenue, took place on the evening of June 23 in four feet of water in the children‘s section at the Gillies Lake Beach. Prior to the investigation it was claimed the children notified Miss Channen was told to get off the dock because they had their clothes on and that the lifeguard later conâ€" vinced of a tragedy went into the "change room" to change into her bathing suit. During the lengthy hearing yesterâ€" day afternoon this was proven beyond a doubt to be most untrue and utterâ€" 1y false. The children‘s evidence showed they thought their friend was "only playing" later when they were convinced that she had drowned "they were afraid to tell anyone." However they finâ€" ally decided to tell the lifeguard about the playmate following a wait of twenty minutes. Further evidence disclosd that Miss Channen with the aid of Terry O‘Donâ€" nell and Scott Neilson lost no time in diving after the child and when the body was brought to surface was givâ€" en every aid in the form of artificial respiration. _ The firemen were called to the scene of the tragedy where, ton, every aid was rendered until the child was ordered to the Hospital by Dr. H. L. Minthorn.â€" After working on the body for more than one hour and a half hope of recovery was given up.
