Rod and Gun Club Lauds Ontario Govt. Minister Kiwanian G. S. Drew called attenâ€" tion to the fact that the. club had undertaken the plan of keeping . a friendly eye on a number of handiâ€" capped soldilers in the town, and he suggested that each member of the, club take an interest in one .of these handicapped men. The men referred to were under pension and what they chiefly needed was friendship and enâ€" couragment. In this connection, it was mentioned that Mr. Art Morin, proprietor of Herman‘s dry cleaning business; had volunteered to take one of these handicapped men, who had the use of both hands, but perhaps had lost one or: both legs, and teach him the tailoring _ business.

(He mentionedâ€" by name a number of Kiwapis members_ whose work for the town and people was out" standing, he felt that a large attendâ€" ance was desirable. He thought people in general: failed to fully realize the large amotint of work for the betterâ€" ment of ‘the community Cone by the service clubs, but he assured the Kiâ€" « The speakers all had a good word for the Kiwanis Club and the goodwill and coâ€"operation . engendered by â€" "Civic Day."

He added that in every case where justice . and â€" democracy were .conâ€" cerned, the Kiwanis were 100 per cent. behind the council. "It is not a case of taking sides on particular issues that may arise," lis said, "but rather a matter of supportâ€" ing principles and good efforts for the town." In welcoming the guests, President Geo. N. Ross mentioned that the anâ€" nual convention of the Dominion Fire Chieis‘ Association would be held at Timmins this year ir the latter part of August. Past President Frank Bailey, wiho introduced the speakers for the day, explained that the purpose of the Kiâ€" wanis annual civic day was to keep in close touch with the town council.
