Founder Kinsmen Clù*bs Gives Fine A ddress At Fifth Anniversary The Bowrnanville Kinsmen Club was hanored on Tuesday night of last weelc when Hal Rogers, Toronto, Founder -of the Association of Kinsmen Clubs, attended the Fifth An- niversary meeting of the Club and gave an inspiring address on the achievesnents and ideals of Kin. Introduced by Deputy Dis- trict Governor Ken Nicks, Mr. Rogers congratulated the Bow- manville Club on the splendid record it has made in its five years of existence. "I have been told of your artificial ice pro- ject for the local Arena and I arn sure that you will continue to pay off the cost of this worth- while project", he declared. 11 arn also sure that you look back over the past five years with a great deal of satisfaction in the fellowsbip you have receiv- ed." Traces Kin Hlstory 1 Going back to tbe early deys1 when tbe Kinsmen Club con-1 sisted of a small group of young( men meeting in 1920 around a( table in a Chinese restauranti in Hamilton, Mr. Rogers statedN that even in those early days itt was evident that no club couldf exist unless it had a purpose.1 "For this reason we became aC service club. even though onec of the prime reasons for join- ing ,was for fellowship", he de-c clared.c Before World War II, he said,r there were 60 Kinsmen Clubs i who were providing what theya believed to be their communi-n ties' greatest need. They were 1 establishing swirnming pools, t well-baby clinics, sight clinicsE and other services in their i home communities. 1 With the outbreak of war, however, they united to see il wbat the Association of Kins-h men Clubs could do for the war teffort. They declded ta collect 1$5.00 per Club £rom the 65 1clubs then in- the Association to devote it to tne war effort. "Before the war wvas over this $325 had swelled to $3.000,000 spent by the Kînsmen Clubs on the war effort", be declared. He told of the projects such as Hostess Houses at Debert, N.S., and Shilo. Manitoba, where families visiting troops in the barracks could stay, which were undertaken by Kinsmen Clubs. The Kinsmen establish- cd a mobile dental clinic for the British Army whicb was man- ned by former Kinsmen and which went tbrough the Ital- ian campeign. "Tbese mobile clinics later became standard equipment for the Canadian and British Armies", Mr. Rog- ers asserted. MIlk For Britain Campalgu The founder also told of how the Kinsmen club collected millions of magazines for the merchant navy. "We stopped counting et 22,000,000", he de- clared. He then told of the greatest Kinsmen wer service work of ah., the Milk for Bni- tain campaign. Before tbis wes finisbed, the Association -.-f Kinsmen Clubs bad shipped 501,- 000,000 quarts of emilk to the children and people of Britein. Mr. Rogers gave meny in- cidents of how tbe people of Canada bad supported this carn- paign. A washroomn attendant in Montreel had handed over a haîf dozen quart bottles of nickels and dimes be bed col- lected for the cempaign, saying thet he had collected it for the Kinsmen so the cbildren of Bni. tain could have milk. An eIder- [y pensioner doneted haîf of his pension cheque each montb to the Milk for Britain campeîgn, rie steted.

"and it was a -- tu gu c.n i, rom a .. . tionel effort to a local effort again. The old sectional jeebou- sies between the Maritime and Ontario, and Ontario and the West, came into being egein. However, we bed gained a new consciousness of our responsi- bîlities to the national organi- zetion". The Kinsmen Club have united for national causes such as the Winnipeg flood, Hurri- cane Hezel and other projects in the post-war yeers, be seid. Urges Personal Service "Let us continue to do the big national jobs and the local service projects such as your artificiel ice, but let us not lose sight of the personal ser- vice work. As Marie Dressler once seid, 'Don't give till it burts, but give until you feel a werm glow ell over". Let us do the sort of personel service1 work as Kinsmen tbet will givei that warm personal glow". 1 The Kinsmen Founder wasi tbenked on behaîf of the clubc for bis inspiretional address by Vice-President Li Pareker.

Developme Sponsored by C The Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce threw its weight solidly behind the formation of the new Lake Ontario Develop- ment Association at the regular meeting held in the Balmoral Hotel on Mon day night. Cost to 'the town of joining the Association will be $400-- based on a per capita assess- ment of 7c. A motion was pass- ed that Bowmanvjlle delegates, to a further meeting for setting up the Association to be held in Campbellford on May 4, be given the authority to pay this amount and 'use their own dis- cretion on paying a small ad- ditional amount if such is need- ed to get the scheme in oper- ation. The $400 will come from the $5,000 set aside by Town Council for industrial promo- tion and publicity purposes. President Elmer Banting, Vice-President R. P. Rickaby and Mayor Nelson Osborne re- ported on the meeting held in Campbellford on April 6 at which the Lake Ontario Devel- opment Association was discus- sed. This meeting was organiz- ed by the Trade and Industry Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Planning and Develop- ment, and a story on the pro. posed organization of the As- sociation appeared in last week's Statesman.i Only Four at Present President Banting stated that wbile nine regional planning boards are provided for in the province by the plan of the De- Partment of Planning and De- velopment, only four have been set Up, or are in the process of rieing set up. The Eastern On- tario Region bas been in oper- ation for a few years and haz proved very successful, he said. It was SO successful, in fact, bhat the municipalities in the region voluntarily agreed Io increase the amounts they pay into the organization. This Eastern Ontario Region has vorked flot only on industriel promotion, but also on obtain- ing improved roads, on attract- ing tourists to tbe region and improving educational facili- tes, Mr. Banting stated., He considered that Bowman- ville is in a fortunate position in respect to the Lake Ontario Region since it is on tbe ex. treme western edge and is the earest town to Toronto. It is probable that there wvill be ýonsiderable competition among re towns and cities in tbe re- gion as to wbere tbe regional :ffice sbould be located, be said, ut he considered Peterbor- )ugb to be the most logical lo- ation beceuse it is fairly near 'e centre of tbe nine counties ,n the region. WiII Have $21.200 Mr. Banting pointed out that he per capita tex of 7c on the nunicipalities in the region will aise $11,205. The Trade and ndustry Branch of tbe Depart- nent of Planning and Develop- nent will add $10.000 to thjis ach year for a minimum of ree years to get the Associa- :n in operation; thus giving it '1,205 to wvork with. A rc* ional secretary-manaýer will ehired to supervise the wvork fthe Association and be should e a big belp to the Chamnber fCommerce in the region in dustrial promotion work. Vice-President Rickaby point- d out that the Lake Ontario )evelopment Association will eassisted by the Trade and dustry Branch, but wiIl by o means be dominated by it. îch of tbe regions xvill look fer their own affairs' but mav Ill on the government for adi. ice and some a3sistance if feded.

The motion was then pessed to pay the $400 per capita as- sessment for Bowmenville. A number of Chamber members indicated that tbey would go to the May 4 meeting of the Asso- ciation in Campbellford wben further steps will be taken to organize tbe Association. ber committee served refresb- tDurant Gets Four Years In Toronto Sandford Durant, 68-year-old confidence man who was known as Stabley Durant wben he was operating around Bowmanville in the spring of 1954, was sen- tenced to four years in penit- entiary on a charge of false pretences in Toronto last week. The metbods used by Durant in Toronto in obtaining $8,0001 by false pretences were sim- ilar to those he used in Bowv- manville last year to obta'n amounts ranging eround $200 from several local people. The Toronto charge allegedi that Du rant obtained $8,000, from two men in September, 1954, by representing himself as a business man forming an oul distribufing company. The men each gave the accused $4,- 000 after tbey contacted birn tbrough a newspaper ' adver- tisement. However, in Toronto he made use of a religious angle wbich wvas lacking in bis operations here. Playing on the religiousr feeling of bis two victims, bis ofter f0 "Born Again Chris- tiens" stipulated that 10 per' cent of the company profits wvould go to church charities. He also insisfed that 'grace" b.- seid before every meal be had with bis victims - even when they were eating in a restau- rant. Durant told the court he was sorry for bis actions, but said that bad the complainants been patient his venture would have been successful.
