Dr. Lennax began by campli- menting tee members on thieir fine attendance record and teir endeavours in service work. He mentioned tbat during a recent membership campaign conducted by Lions International, that 12,500 new membera had been added, bninging total membership ta 136,000. Lions clubs, sa Uic dictionary states, are arganized for tee good and welfare o! the cammunlty in which tey are establishcd, sald Dr. Lennox. But there is more ta it than teat. There is the good fellowship which is found in evcry Lions Club - an item which is essential ta its welfare. Possibly the reason for tels good !dllow- ship is the fact teat each member has. bis awn littlc job ta do, wite the resuit test ahi participate in saine measume in the clUb's ac- tivittes, and teerefore appreclate bcing members.
