The proposals concerned age restric- tions of club members and the Genosha Hotel Blue Room was blue from smoke emitted from several members who were over the 40 years of age limit and disagreed with points mentioned in the letter from the club's higher officers. The four proposals were: 1 Do you favor maintaining present age restrictions as laid wn in our present constitution? 2 Do you favor complete elimi- nation of an age limit? 3 If not, would you favor leav- ing 40 as the age limit for new Kinsmen joining the club but once a Kinsman, no restrictions regard- ing office holding? : 4 Would you favor abolition privileged members and have = cut-off at 40 when Kinsmen would turned proposals ' An amendment was made as a suggestion to be submitted to Na- tional Headquarters recommend- mg: "A compromise proposed by the club, that the age limit be held as it is for joining and up to the office of president, The age of district governors should be raised to 45: This would assure us of the best trained and governors." After the four proposals were read, members were asked to voice opinions. "Let's abide by our by-laws as they now stand. I would like to see the younger fellows come a- long and give us leadership," one spokesman said. Some of the other members were of the opinion the situation (Nationally) was reaching a ca- lamity point, according to some of the discussions heard at conven-| tions. One member stated the pro- posals, if carried out, would split the smaller clubs wide open. One of the older club members said: "The time"may come when you may find yourselves scratch- ing the bottom of the barrel for men to hold office here." President Monty Cranfield stated it was a decision where either the by-laws of the club would be scrapped or the club would have to adhere to the rigid line. The amendment, when voted up- on, carried 27 in favor of the sug- gestion and 16 against. y of the members carried the discus- sion further by stating the privi- leged members were not entitled to vote, but a quick look in the club constitution book soon quelled this argument. experienced Capacity At Vision sion Rallies was Redd Harper Night. Ted *Engstrom and Har- old Jordan assisted in the service. Simcoe Street United Church was filled to capacity, even to the choir Ted Engstrom was master of ceremonies. He told, too, of the burden on his heart for the har- vesting of souls in the Orient with a special emphasis on Japan. Har- old Jordan, in his southern drawl, led in: choruses. A bus load of boys from the Boys' Training School at Bowman- ville attended the rally. Mel Smith in the singing of a hymn a chorus. 'exas" was on hand to sing and give his testimony God for what He had done for him. With a smile on his face and Crowd Rally love in his heart, Redd sang, "I'm a Happy, Happy .Christian," .then gave his testimony. Then he sang what he termed his testimony song, 'Each Step of the Way'. Mr. Harper was dressed in cow- boy costume similar to those worn in his home state of Texas, It was complete even to a gun, only the gun proved to be the Word of God. Much of Redd's message was his testimony of how God saved him from a life of sin. It was inter- spersed with many quotations from the Bible. He invited all to accept this wonderful Saviour who had saved him. Many responded to the invitation and they came to the altar seeking to know this Jesus who was the all-in-all of Redd Harper, If you have not been out to the World Vision Rallies yet, remem- ber that there are only two nights more, Please pray for them.

Despite the fact that the credit balance was only $238.92 at the end 'of the year, it is antici- pated that the federal grant resulting from the fair being placed in "B" rating will mea n there will be a sizable bal- ance on hand for the formulation of plans for this 'year's fair on August 20, 21 and 22. Pe LARGELY ATTENDED The meeting attracted the larg- | est attendance in some years, rep- | resenting a cross section of the | life of Oshawa and surrounding | districts. | In his remarks President Dr. W. H. Gifford paid tribute to the time and energy devoted by E. V/. Web- ber over a long period of years to the success of the fair. While not active for the past year, Mr, Webber will remain available in an advisory capacity although he re- linquished hig duties as secretary- treasurer at the end of the year. Mr. Webber served for many years as a director and made a very tangible contribution to the! success of the society. The past year, Dr. Gifford com- mented, had been one of transition. A grandstand show was presented on the Thursday night with local talent and with a fireworks display had been well received. The mid- past 25 years and no complaints had been received. It was emphasized that while nothing had been done in the way of repairs to buildings for several years, the Oshawa Fair as a class "B" fair, was now in a position to undertake such a prdgram as the federal government would base its grants on capital expend- itures. Last year the prize list, amount- ing to $5,600, was the largest in the history of the society. Of this amount 'approximately $3,800 was picked up by exhibitors. Of this amount $200 was won by exhibitors in the junior section of the fair! FAIR ANALYZED An interesting resume of the fair, prepared by E. W. Webber, was presented to the meeting showing the number of entries and exhibits in each department of the fair. His figures are as follows: Light horses, 100 entries and 22 exhibitors; heavy horses, 122 and 12; beef cattle, 156 and 15; dairy cattle, 27 and 3, sheep, 126 and 8; swine, six exhibitors; grain and seeds, 17 entries; flowers and fruit, 194 entries; food and clothing, 332 entries; arts and crafts, 31 entries; Women's Institutes, 79 entries; boys and girls, 141 entries, rocts and vegetables, 53 entries. The dates for the 1953 fair, Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday, August 20, 21 and 22, were confirmed by the meeting. The opinion was ex- pressed that the Wednesday night prior to the fair might be utilized by the directors for the preSenta- tion of a_ grandstand performance if it is thought feasible.
