Phone 703, All Departments a 'Whitby Kinsmen Club Celebrates Founding Of Association | The regular meeting of the Whit. Ly Kinsmen Club, held last night at the Brooklin House, in Brooklin, "took the form of a celebration com- memorating the 28th anniversary of the founding of the Association of Kinsmen Clubs by Hal Rogers, for. merly of Hamilton and now of To. ronto. Guest speaker for this im. portant occasion was Kinsman Roy Dithen, past district governor and past president of the Oshawa Kins~ men Club. Also in attendance at the meeting were a number of local and out.of. town guests including the deputy district governor, George Budreo, cf Toronto, who brought felicita. tions from Governor Russ Tomp- kins and all members of the four Toronto Kinsmen clubs. In his address which he termed "Kinsmanship," Kinsman Dibbon told the gathering of the initia: founding of the association and its rapid growth since then. He ex. plained that the association was not merely a service club but was in fact a young man's movement | which could and did have a definite | effect upon the municipality, coun. | try and "even the world." Clarifying his remarks, the speak. er pointed out that the first thing dictators did when they were in power was to abolish all such clubs as Kinsman, Rotary, etc. He said that it was evident to these men and to all men thas such organiza- tions carried a great amount of weight and could cause feeling to swing one way or the other and in some cases even affect the think. ing of "the state." "The aims of Kin can make a difference in the world we live in," he said, "simply because they preach and further tolergnce and under. standing between all people. Kins. men are primarily all young men and as such the majority have seen the terrible conditions that exist' | in other countries as an aftermath of war. They are the men that Kinsmen clubs need and possibly Kinsmanship is one of the things that they are in need of." Kinsman Dibbon urged the for- mation of more and still more Kins. man clubs and called upon the Whitby members to carry out their intentions of forming a new club | in nearby Ajax.

Mr. Detrich, in a few remarks, proceeded to em- phagi.s2 the seriousness of the pres- ent shortage of electrical power i, the province and he fllustrated his remarks with two films, one show. ing Niagara Falls and the power development at Queenston and the other showing how the average family can find ways of wasting power. Mr. Dettich told the members present that the advertised power shortage in Ontarig at the present time was "acute." He said that present plans call for the construc. tion of three major power develop ments in the province but that un- til these projects were ccmpleteo there was no chance of there being much of a power surplus. As an interesting comparison ¢ to the way the average person treats electricity and water outlets in th home, the speaker sald that mos® pecple who turn on water taps do not go very far away or leave thu tap running for very long while, in contrast, the average person did not place as much importance on th. turning out of lights when they nou longer needed them. He explained this, saying that the noise of run. ning water probably drew their | attention to the fact that the ta, was still in operation while in fa. the burning light bulb represented a great deal more water activity than a tap would mean in a mucl, longer time. The first film shown during th~ meeting depicted an average famil ® fon a fairly detiled tour of th" Queenston power development, Rotarian Gordon Bateman, who moved the vote of thanks to the | speaker, sald that the showing of the films should do much to inter. | est the average citizen in power conservation, Lasts Rites Are 'Observed For 'Russell Andrews We!l known in Whitby and.
