aP on CCC ~Vol. XXXI No. 4 The Monday luncheon at the Timâ€" mins Kiwanis Club was a special Burns Day and the members found it a deâ€" lightful and interesting occasion. Kiâ€" wanian Gordon Campbell led the comâ€" munity singing of Scottish songs with Becretary â€""Scottie" at the piano. Hecretary "Scottie‘" also saw to the special decorations for the event, the large Scottish standard holding proud position beside the of King George and his Scottish Queen. He quoted from the published obâ€" jectives of the Kiwanis International and from the poems of Burns to show how the aims and hopes of both the club and the poet followed similar lines, Burns showed the Kiwanis or service club spirit when he and his munity club JIOr. C gatherings inthelr In later life he gave leadership and support that led to the establishment of a library in the parish where his farm was situated. The speaker also noted that whenever an ‘"ordinary sinner‘" member of the club was asked to say grace, it was almost invariably was used. When the Kiwanis wished Burn‘s impromptu Selkirk grace that to give a "real, right" finish to a special social occasion, the Kiwanis again went, as so many others do, to Burns and his classic rendering of "Auld Lang Syne." The speaker gave a brief outline of the life of Robert Burns, who digd at the early age of 37. Special guest aArtists for the day were the popular Scottish vocalist, Mr. James Gelils; Pipe Major J. Macâ€" Lennan and Piper John Arnott; and the talented and graceful young highâ€" land dancers, Miss Patricia Cornell and Miss Ruth Willson. As usual Mr. Geils made a decided hit with his talented rendition of Scottish songs, each selection receiving warm encore. The pipers also were popular with all, while the Scotish members of the club delighted in the stirring music so well presented. The two young dancers presented the "Sword Dance‘" and the "Highland Fling," in a very graceful and effective way, The pipers played for the dances and ‘the colorâ€" ful costumes of pipers and dancers brightened the whole occasion. "At Kiwanis meetings here and elseâ€" where," said the speaker for the day, G. A. Macdonald, "I have Ooften thought to myself, how Rabbie Burns would have enjoyed such occasions. He was a friendly, social man, and he would have joyed in the gaiety, the friendliness, the discussion, the fun and the frolic of such And he wou‘d have found equal delight in the higher aims and aspirations behind these lighter lines." Reference was made to the hundreds of love songs written by Burns, to his stirring pleas for freedom, for equalâ€" ity and for brotherhood, and his reâ€" cognition of the fact that the securâ€" ity, the happiness, the prosperity and the greatness of any people depended on the home.! The speaker concluded with some stanzas of "The Cottar‘s Saturday Night," in which the ideal home atmosphere is ~depicted, The speaker for the day was inâ€" troduced by Kiwanian Gordon Campâ€" bell in a witty, friendly talk, President G. N. Ross commenting on the unâ€" usual situation of a Macdonald being introduced by a Campbell.s The thanks of the club for the day‘s address was given, with Scottish humour, by Kiâ€" wanian Jack Beattie. President Ross also expressed the feelings of the Municipal Assistance For Veterans Seeking Homes Suggested By S. J. Morgan "Up to date, five different commitâ€" tees have dealt with the matter of housing, and so far nothing has come Rabbie Burns, Kiwanians Share Same Altruistic Views, Speaker Says from their labours," declared S J.
