Grace, President "Joe" Stewart presided, Govern Seely presides over Re- tary District No. 4, which comprises Rotary clubs east of Amster- dam, N.Y. practically all the clubs in Ontario, and all the clubs in Que- bec, He was given a warm recep- tion, and his short address was brim ful of good things on Rotary, with some timely advice for the 'mem- hers. At the outset, he pointed out the great obligation on each member for regular attendance at the meel- ings. It was at these gatherings that knowledge of Rotary could be secur- ed Fellowship was one of the chief { fundamentals of the organization, ind it must be remembered that to make friends, one must be friendly to others. Emerson wrote, "Wouldst | thot have a friend then be one." Ro- tary presented a great opportunity for making friendships. Rotary called for the making of good citizen- ship. all the also the boys of today," added the speaker, "The work we are under- | taking among the boys gives every on { member something to do trying to | Many of the | the boy | scouts, and others with the unprivi- | make better citizens clubs are working among | ieged boys. We can look forward to a better community tomorrow, by { looking after the boys of today. With good boys of high standards the girls | will be safe. It'is up to us not only | to look after our own boys, but all | the boys of our community, including | the unprivileged boys. Our Interna- tional President, Dr. Crawford Mec- Cullough has defined three of the fundamentals of Rotary: (1) attend- ance at tneeting; (2) education in | Rotary; (3) fellowship in Rotary; | (4) higher ideals in modern busi- | ness; (5) good citizenship. "Ask the I question are you an asset or liability | to the Rotary club of Kingston?' Do | you respond when you are called {upon to be a real man and a Rotar- ian? Are you putting into your ser- | vice some real deeds?" Governor Seely, in closing his ad- dress, stated that it was a great pleasure for him to wisit the local club, and expressed the hope that { he would be able to come to the city {again at an early date. | President "Joe Stewart referred | to some of the points" outlined by { Governor Seely, in his address, and | said that the question of attendance at meetings was one of the most im- portant things, and stated that if the Kingston club would be among the | first three clubs having the highest attendance in the district' for the next report, he would put up a din- ner for the members, "And I will be glad to send the {cigars for this dinner," said Gover- nor Seely, amidst much applause. So it is now up to the members of the Kingston club to make President 'Joe' Stewart provide a spread. Rotarian "Tom" Caldwell extend- ed greetings to the local club from the club at Waverly, N.Y., the home club of Govérnor Seely, «This town has a population of 5,000, and its Rotary club has a, membership of sixty, and 'Is making itself felt in the community. Rotarian Caldwell spoke of the good Rotary had been able to do in his town. The organization { he said had presented a new social [ vision, and had made possible things | Mhich could not have been accom- | plished but for Rotary. Rotary had | proved itself to be the most con- | structive force that ever came into | the town. It was something worth while in the community. The club receivéd a communication from Mrs. F. R. Gimblett, 179 Queen street, asking if the club would de- | vote some of -the money collected in | fines, to a "shoe and stocking fund," | to help out needy families in the c!ty. Mrs. Gimblett stated that there were scveral families in the city in need of attention. The matter was refer- red to the committee for a report. Rotarian Roy Ward moved a vote of thanks to Governor Seely and Ro- tarian "Tom" Caldwell, for their visit and addresses, and it was car- ried by. a unanimous vote. "We have received a most inepiring and in- structive address," remarked Rotar- ian Ward. In honor of Governor Seely's visit the members sang "For He's A Jolly sing this popular song. The singing was followed by three cheers and a "tiger," > The proceedings closed with the National Anthem. The Rotary club passed a resolu- tion moved by Rotarians L. A. Guild and H. E. Day to have weekly lunch- cons held on Friday of each week in- stead of Thursday. The change is being made to suit the convenience of a number of the members who find it difficult to attend the gather- ings on Thursday. The first [Friday session will be held on December 16th.

In order to arrange a better un- | |derstandifg with the Hydro-Electric | Commission, the Public Utilities on | | Monday afternoon decided that | | Chairman R. F. Elliott, Mayor Nickle |and General Manager Folger should | 80 to Toronto and "talk things over' | With the Hydro officials. Commis- | sioner R. E, Burns, after a letter had {been read. from the provincial en- | | gineer, stating that it would require | {another month before a statement | could be prepared with regard to the | production cost of Kingston street | lighting, remarked that he was | strongly in favor of "getting to- gether." He felt that more could | be accomplished by the local commis- | sion meeting with the Hydro commis- |sioner. Differences could the more | easily be discussed and a settlement arrived at. The local commission appeared to be at loggerheads on oc- casions with the provincial commis- sion, and he felt that "personal con- tact" was better than passing resolu- tions and writing letters. Chairman 'Elliott stated that he had always found the Hydro officials | willing to do everything possible for | Kingston. Every time he had gone to Toronto and approached the Hy- dro people he had obtained whatever concessions he had gone after, Mayor Nickle said he was agree- able to accompany the chairman and the manager, and try and get the street lighting question straightened out, and on motion of Mr. Burns, it was decided that this deputation of three should have an interview with the provincial heads in Toronto be- fore the commission's next meeting. In order to co-operate with the city council on the unemployment situation, the commission -decided to lay water pipe in Drayton avenue, and upper Johnson and Toronto streets this winter at thé same time as the Board of Works will be put- ting in sewers there. The sewers are of little use without water, and al- though the commission will not for some time get any revenue from the widtef extensions, the commissioners decided that they would do their part in giving work to the unemployed. The city will pay for the trenches. Chairman Elliott wanted to know it the commission could come in under the government's finemploy- ment fund in a matter of this kind, but Mayor Nickle said it could not. Commissioners Hewitt and Me- Farlane pointed out that the commis- sioner would be spending a large amount of money for extensions with- out securing the necessary revenue in order to issue debentures. In view of this, the full cost of the pipe will come out of revenue, The manager was given authority to purchase a blower in order to sug- ment the gas supply. This blower will cost about $1,400, or $500 less than eight months ago.
