This may seem odd, in view of the fact that the Lions are now lponso’ring a $75,006 building cam- paign,hut.the fact remains, that ,despite the Lions energetic desire to get the arena' completed, they have still not forgotten their ob- ligation to the rest of the com- munity." To say that the Lions have made I great contribution to the com- munity would be an understate- ment. Their past record shows that both financially and otherwise they have served Weston and district in n manner which any service club could well be proud.

The Lions Club of Weston provided increased financial support for same. The Teenagers Nite Club was opened in the {all of 1943, jointly sponsored by the YWCA and the Lions Club. The Lions glub of Weston donated the money to get the bi-weekly program off to a good start. By the Bummer of 1945 the con- tribution for the Community Va- cation Church School had increased to 8800.00. The Lions Club of Wea- ton contributed that money. In January, 1946, representatives from the Ministerial Association, the YWCA and the Lions Club dis- cussed the need for more eo-ordi- nation in recreation-the mnyor of the tow was asked to call a meets ing Ind on March Ist, 1946, the Weston Community Council came into being. The tiGneW statement for the Weston Community Council for 1946 shows: Weston Lions Club, donation to summer program, 8360.00, dona- tion re baseball, $104.15. The same statement for 1947 shows the Wes- ton Lions Club donation to hockey, 3332.50, donation to summer pro- gram, 8300.00. And then, for 1948, the Weston Community Council shows in the treasurer'a report the following: Weatnn Lions Club, junior figure skating. 825.00,genior figure _ skating, 826.00, hockey, $346.00. tennis instruction, 850.00, baseball, $75.00. art. 860.00, music, $50.00, dimmer program, $800.00, Hallowe‘en, $100.00. is this not a story? in fact. and figures of a nervice club truly serv- ing it: eommunitrt These are the men who In uk- init your help in the cumnt build- ine campaixn fund.

In December of Wits the Com- munity Council inaugurated chess amongst public school children, and instruction and leadership was left to the principals of each school. However, except for Hum- ber Heights school, it was found this arrangement was not success- ful, and a specisl committee was therefore nominated by the Weston Men's Chess Club to develop the Junior organisation. Under the able direction of Jer. o. Cathcart, the Humber Keights school chess ‘cluh is still active and'hst a total snrohueut of am so boys and it“. _ , A e, _ _ V With the help and sound advice of Bernard Freedman, the dean of chess. the Weston Junior Club was soon well on its way to success in December of last year. Charles Bolter, then president of the senior club, toured all the local schools, explained the plans for. the for- mation of Mmup and was suc- cessful in getting some 100 chil-‘ dren, to voice their enthusiasm about the arrangements. For the second time Mr. Freedman visited Weston, this time to give the juniors their first lesson in chess. Since that time weekly meetings have been held in the new senior public school on Fridsy nights, and the enthusiasm and interest shown by members has been ‘most en- couraging to the special committee. At present s tournament is under way with 14 boys and girls who qualified taking part.
