Rotary Club (Continued from Page One) became the work carried on ever since for the benefit of Crippled Children. The speaker gave a brief review of the duties assign- ed to the club historian. Twenty-two years ago, Mivarch 6, 1924, was Charter Night, xvhen 18 original members were initi- ated. 0f these 'only five remain, George Chase, Fred Vanstone, Dr. J. C. Devitt, George James and Dave Morrîson. Many have passed on, others moved else- where, several gave up their af- filiation. Today the membership stands at 54. At one point in the past it reached 59. Mr. Morrison gave credit to the Charter Pres- ident the late Tom Holgate for much of the preliminary organ- izational work who was greatly assisted by the Oshawa club. Early iFnance Early modes of finatic? includ- ed introduction of light apera, with imported and local t'lent. The first production, "Ail Abjard" netted $218. The following -ear was an amateur show, "Princ,3ss Bonnie" equally popular and ie- venue producing. Reading from copies of club letters back in 1924, Mr. Morrison recalled the bath house venture at the lake the revenue from which just about offset the $360 invested in the scheme. Experimental me- thods of finance continued for some years as community work grew. In 1928 the club was host to district Rotary clubs at the Boys' Training School. B.T.S. Building A very important development arose from this visit for the Ro- tary Clubs of Ontario became in- terested in this ybuth reclama- tion project. The result was that funds donated by these clubs amounting to $35,000, went to build the modemn gymnasium and swimming pool structure at the B.T.S. In 1926 came the first street fair that netted over $800. In 1929 was inaugurated the the- atre visits for county school chul- ciren. Funds grew, work broad- ened and success led to the feel- NEW APPOINTMENT George A. V. Spencer Mn. A. P.

Before going t-o Toronto H1e was manager of the company's office at Oshawa. do it" in 1930, according to old bulletins, membens were warned against the gnowing tendency to leave after the dinners t-o go about their own affairs. Family Projects In 1934 through the generosity of Rot-aian the late Tonmmy Ross, the Family Theatre was starteci in which wives and families cen- joyed theatre nights. In 1936, so the records disclose, two Rotan- ians, Len Elliott and Bob Stevens, got "lost" at the convention at Atlantic City. Anthoritative tel- egrams wcnc dispatched to locate them along the boardwalk. The same year the Rural-Urban mee:- ings arose. The club went t-o Blackstock to be entertained by famed Cowboy Kean, teller of stories that even stopped Tim Garton's bus on the hignway. Lyrical Days Back in those days too, many will remember the Rotary Oc- tette, a medley of male voices that captivated, even hypnotized mem- bers, and invitations t-o hear them came from as fan distant as Tyr- one. The lyrical days came around the ycar 1933 when Lou- Dippell was bulletin scribe. As a poet and biblical anthority he inspired his successons, Dr. De- vitt and Ross Stuti to attempt poctry. Mr. Mornison read. a iew quatrains, scanned without reference to mcînic menit. These rustic gems recalled vis- ions of imaginative irumates of mental colleges, cavorting in the moonlmght dressed in angels wuîugs conjured out of ephemeral spider's wings. Dave gave it as rcad amidst mn-ch hilarity. Humorous and instructive, the speaker sug- gested that members search lon back files, old letters, t-o assist the histonian in bninging the story of Rotary n-p t-o date. Mn-ch of course cati be gleaned from back files of The Statesman, which, faithfully over the years has ne- corded aIl meetings irom week to week.

Most fields of wheat, barley, r~ats and mixed grain ini the north country have been cut and stook- ed and yields appear heavy al! through. On the other hand, down near lake level here, the biîmders are omuly beginning to be used. Few combines were seen in the northern districts. Their hýoc crops were also splendid and pas- turcs are standing up well. This general report was gath- ered in a motor trip, Monday, by on-r farm reporter, who travelled a distance of some 250 miles dur- ing the day.

In all the towns fromn Lindsay nont-h, parking space was at a premium. The elevation n-p there, some ] ,- 700 feet provides the dlean, cool air for which the district us noted, and there are no mosquitoes. No extended report on the dis- trict will be given iin this bnief article. But it is a place to spend a real summer holiday and most of the jon-rney is made thnon-gh real farming cou-ntry. Why crops appear to mature canlier in that area may be due to the eh:vation and possibiy carlier sowI«ng sbn-t this is mere speculation.
