The election was held at the annual spring conference in Lindsay. The Oshawa club also won the Monty Cranfield Service Shield at the conference, em- blematic of the outstanding service project of the year in the district.

A past president of the Osh- awa club, Bruce Mackey, now a city alderman, who organ- ized the forum, was presented with the service shield during the conference. "It was considered by the "** judges to have made a signi- ficant contribution to arousing interest in the election and aid- ed in improving knowledge of the issues," said a Kinsmen spokesman, Mr. Fry is the third mem- ber of the Oshawa club to hold the position and deputy- governor since 1928.
