The Rotary Club held a bang-up luncheon on Friday noon, in the Brit- ish-Amerieén hotel, with a hundred per cent. attendance. There was no special speaker for the day, but there was something do- ing every minute and the members 'and their guests had a great time. This is the first occasion the local club has registered a hundred per cent. attendance, but it will not be the last, judging by the enthusiasm over this record. There was great rejoicing at "going over the top" and the members are to be congratu- "lated on their splendid showing. Rotarian "Sid" Smith was the last member to take his place around the table and as he did so this was the signal for the singing of '"'Hall! Hail! the Gang's All Here," and it 'was rendered with all the "pep" pos- sible. Rotarian Rex Snelgrove delivered a snappy ten-minute address, in which he gave the members some very good pointers on how to help the tourist trade. The members were agreed that the suggestions put forth by,/Rex are bound to go over big. It is proposed to give them a trial. Last week Rex made a big hit with his little song, "In the" Green House," and was forced to repeat on Friday. He also had another little ditty that caught on well, Rotarian "Al" Davis also made a few timely remarks in regard to the tourist trafic and while, his plan of action differed somewhat to the scheme outlined by Rex, it wilb be given a trial as the members of the elub are quite willing to try anything a first time. Asa Huyek, who was a guest of the club, delighted the members with his piano selections and his singing. One piano selection was of his own com- position and brought forth warm ap- plause. Rotarian H. E. Day submitted a report on the Shoe and Stocking Fund, stating that up-to-date the sum of $246.61 had been subscribed for this worthy rause. The fund will remain open for some time in order to give everyone an opportunity to help. Rotarian Harold Singleton was at the plano and in fine form and it was wonderful the way the Rotarjans rendered the songs they love so well from the Rotary song book. When it comes to good hearty singing of a high order, you have to hand it to the Rotarians, Rotarian "Jack" Elder rendered one of the club's old favorites, "It's a Fine Thing to Sing" and was assisted by his colleagues, in the chorus. Harry Lauder, who is new making a trip through Canada, has nothing on Kingston's Harry Lauder, who Is al- ways listened to -with keen interest The club had a number of guests and Leman A. Guild, the president, who presided, extended to them a very warm welcome. Rotarians Fred B. Smith and Ernest J. Smith, of Belleville, were among the guests, and answered to roll chil. Other guests included P. A. Boycher, H. 8 Cleverley, Asa Huyck and G. J. Mackie. To Dedicate Windows, In 8t.

The ad-{ LETTERS | To The Editor » Re Bank Depositors. 1 Hamliton, dan. 9.-- (To. the Edi- tor): Suppose the government were to pay the Home Bank depositors the other 5Uc on the dollar, they would immediately walk across the street, and deposit it into another bank, with the possibility of 'a repetition of the Home Bank disaster a few years hence, when they would again clam- our for government relief. Now there is no chance whatever of the government doing this, be- cause the people would not consent to a continuation of that sort of thing. Better judgment on the depositors' part would be to persuade the gov- ernment to remove the $1,500 limit on P.O. saving deposits, and make the rate 6 1-2 per cent. instead of 3 per cent.- This'would nearly save the situation'for the Home Bank deposi- tors so far as income wus concerned, and in'addition would be of immense benefit in almost doubling the income of the million other savings "deposi- tors, For this dct and assistance the other million depositors benefited thereby might, and I believe would, extend their sympathy and influénce with the government for the assist- ance of the Home Bank unfortunates, in consideration of the splendid pub- lic service they would have accom- plished, in addition to preventing any possible "future repetition of the chain of savings disasters in the The government owes it to the peo- ple to provide absolutely safe acecom- modation for saving deposits, at the best possible rate of interest they pay to any person, and especially so when it would not cost the government or the country either a dollar, but, on the contrary, pay the depositors 40 million dollars annually of increased interest thereon. Think it over seriously, Home Bank depositors, and direct your ef- forts along the line that has some chance of success. Yours traly, ¢ ~--W. 0. SEALEY. 61 Hunter street west.
