Keith Billett lias ieen appointed éliub treas- tirer for the balance of the year.

The birthdays of two Rota r- lans, Don Morris, and Captain Norman Cales, were observed. The winners in the hockey draw were, Rex Waiters and P. G. Newell. The sing-song was led by Ross Gilbert with K. N. Mor- ris at the piano. Capt. Norman Coles introdu- red Lieut.-Col. Wallace Bunton, Toronto, the special speaker. He stated that Col. Btinton ,vas born in Stellarton, NS.. and in his youth had -been a keen sports m-an, being well known as a star football and basebail plaver. Col. Bunton has had an out- standing career in the Salva- tion Army, Capt. Coles said. He pointed out that hee bas had mar- ked success in the rehahilitation oif prisoners. Coi. Bunton has been devoted to bis ýwork for' prisoners in penîtentiaries and jails for 50 yc'ars. Capt. Coles rprmarked that Col. Bunt-on has been a flotir- Ian for 32 v'ears. He is a mcm- ber of the Toronto Botary Club. and has becorne known a speak- er at many other Rotary and service clubs. A Cheerful Outlook In the present sonexvhit <it. ficult times it is more import- ant than ever to have a cheer- fui outlook, Col. Bunton stated. le advised the audience to mnake the best of everything, tbink the best of evaeryone, and hope thr, best for themnselves. He siressed the fact thit many aiew ideas regarding reformnat ion are being presented in the daiiy' press and over the air. But hie reminded bis hearers that there is no substitute for practical ex- perience and personal kýnowv- ledge. "If many of tlhýesP people Arit- ing and talking about rcform- ation were ta take a vear's cou r- se at a perîitenfiarxr the *v would see the other side of the inside," he asserted. "It is the best way ta obtain valuable understanding of the men confin ed there and of the problems of rehabilitation," he said. Need Commonsense "We need ail the comnwon- sense that God has given us," he continued, in explaining the ibest ways to beip prisoners. "No two are alike. They are individuals. They do not think alike, act a- like, or look alike. They cannot be reformed as a mass, but only as separate individuals. Col Bunton mentioned that lie is often asked what he thinks about the prison systemn and re- form work. He said that after his first vear in such work, he thought he could tell anyone aIl about the administration oif the courts and prisons, and the problems of convicted crimin- ais. After the second year lie couid tell less, after the third year scarcely anything. Stili in Kindergarten "After 50 vears I realize I amn still in the kindergarten of this special knowiedge, and I arn learning every day how to go about helping prisoners in a way that is best for the individual and for ;,,cietv," he firmly stat- ed. He added that it is import- ant neyer to m-ake such a mis- runs a mission for the unfortu- nate in a large city. "God wants us ta help al creeds, colours, and nationalities. If a man needs, help or advice, then that is my business," Col. Bunton said. He reminded the Rotarians that 'e ven a cup of cold water given in charity is a joy in the skies.' Reeve W. David Higgon mov- ed a vote of thanks ta Col. Bun- ton for his splendid addxess. He asked that the speaker be in- vited to again corne ta Bow- manville in the future ta ad- dress the club.
