The speaker pointed out that the scientific advancements and faster pace of the modern day are bringing and will bring more problems and in order to face up to these problems, the Ki- wanis programs of activity be- come more vital and must be nurtured in co-operation, fellow- ship and love, if they are to prosper and succeed. Governor Clairie called upon all Kiwanians to have visions dignity, self-discipline and .un- derstanding, in order that a true relationship may be. es- tween man and his God, between man and his neighbour. In clog- ing, he called-on all Kiwanians for a maintenance of devoti to the aims and objects of wanis, for leadership in the cont- munity. '"'We have the opportun- ity, as Kiwanians, to show the way," he added. es Motor Club Plans Rally The Oshawa Motor Sport Club will hold a rally this week- end, The event. starts Saturday evening and winds up on Sun- day morning.
