North America, the Ear East, the Caribbean, and Western Europe, it is a service or-ganixation for men, which has become one of the world\u2019s largest.Highlight, internationally, of the January 21

hand.Kiwanis International President Edward 15.Moylan, Jr., of Miami, Florida, gave the principal address.Last living founder of Kiwanis, Harry A.Young of Detroit, was specially honored.Observances at Detroit, and in hundreds of other communities where Kiwanis serves were the kick off ot Golden Anniversary activity.There will be traditional Golden Anniversary halls and parties, and a Golden Anniversary Convention of Ki-wanis International itself in New York City in early July which is expected to attract some 25.(100 people.This will lie the largest convention in Kiwanis history.In late summer and early fall each of Kiwanis' 30 districts will hold Golden Anniversary conventions, as well.\"Observances of this kind will be but a fraction of the activity, though,\u201d President Lucien Serre of the Sherbrooke club said.The really significant part of the year's program will be the pledging of specific goals by each club, in each of Kiwanis' major youth and community service fields of endeavor, and the accomplishment of these goals as Golden Anniversary gifts to host communities.Good wishes on Kiwanis\u2019 Golden Anniversary have been received from leaders in many walks of life.Among them.Prime Minister Lester 15.Pearson said: \"'As Kiwanis International concludes its 50th year of international service to people and their communities, to citizenship ami freedom, 1 should like to extend Canada's greetings and my own good wishes to all Kiwanians wherever they may serve.\u201cCanadians know and respect the contributions made to the welfare and progress of the 315 Canadian towns and cities in which Kiwanis is active.\u201cMay your next 50 years be even more successful, your grow th even more dramatic as you continue to show the way to good citizenship by such campaigns as this year's emphasis on the role of personal service in the cause of freedom.\" U S.Secretary of Stale Dean Rusk said: \"Your decision three years ago to extend ihe Kiwanis service program to countries in Asia, Western Europe, and the Caribbean, and your Longstanding and widely diversified efforts to make people-to-people program work have materially aided the policies of your government to make world understanding a reality.\" C.S.Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz said, in part, \"In Ihe 50 years since Kiwanis International was founded, the organization has left an indelible record of humanitarian deeds on the American scene.The fact that it has survived for half a century, doing the human helpful things that unfortunates can- not do for themselves, attests to the vitality and usefulness of the organization.\u201d Charles B.Shuman, President ot the American Farm Bureau Federation, said, \"We have been particularly pleased to have many opportunities to work with Kiwanis International at the local, state, and national levels, during the past 50 years.\u201d Philip G.Givens, Q.C* mayor of Toronto, said, \u201d.« Municipal authorities place great value upon the work performed in the community by local Kiwanis clubs.We in Toronto are particularly blessed with a responsible» active and intelligent group of Kiwanians who have ro» tributed so much to the

the formation of a Kiwanis Club in the town of Waterloo, Quebec.The results are still being realized and when added up, show a real tremendous effect toward good in this town.The weather during the month of October and up to November 17, when our Charter Night was celebrated in the United Church, was dull cold and most unappealing.The spirit of Kiwanis was warm and friendly.The early meetings were lively, and entertaining.The Charter Night was a magnificent affair w:th the Governor Jack Linklater of Noranda as the main speaker.Every club in our District was well represented.In those days, a district was much larger than we know them today, and clubs from Montreal, Ottawa and Prescott Ont.were on hand as well as Granby, who sponsored the Waterloo Club, Sherbrooke and Quebec City.The Lt.Gov.was George Dureault of Granby, the first of three from this area of the eastern Townships.The result of the Charter Night rang in the ears of every Kiwaniao for many months.The first president of the Waterloo Club was Pete Gunter who served from October li)44 until December 1945.Pete was a beloved Kiwanian by all who had the privilege of know ing him.He always had a smile of cheer and a word of wisdom.It was a tragic day in November 1959 when we laid Pete to rest, incidentally it was on our fifteenth anniversary of our Charter Night, to the day.It is one thing certain that Pete would still smile down on 'his\u201d club today with pride, as he had seen it have its ups and downs over the years.Much credit is due Pete's leadership over those formative months, and the excellent leadership he afforded the members is still prevalent today.The first secretary was Herb Boyle, who served until ill health forced him to give way to George Dubois in 1947.The Bulletin Editor was Roger McKergow who served, with only minor interruptions until he was elected Lt.Gov.in the fail of 1962.The Programme Convener was Alden Perkins, a past president, who has recently resigned due to his moving away.Alden provided some outstanding speakers during his reign, and these too helped boost Kiwanis along the right road.Pete\u2019s reign came to an end and his successor was Fred St.Denis, who was the C.P.R.agent.Fred, too, was a tower of strength and one of the peppiest individuals one could meet.He kept the elub jumping, and his main work in the club was .spent in the Public Affairs\u201d, i and many achievement- were , accomplished in this fieki with the results still fell today.Fred was a great leader and one who did much to cement the already good relations between the French and English members.Bob Millinchamp followed Fred as President and George Dubois came in a& Secretary.I\tHere was a fine pair of hard w ork-i n g Kiwanians We had an excellent year.Our reg ular meetings had been held in the Waterloo Hotel since the inception of the chib, and Bob\u2019s Directors decided to keep this up Bob did some tremendous work among the underprivileged, where his main love lay.Free milk was instituted, tonsillectomies were performed, a project that Pete began during his term.One must remember that group insur anee was not as widely used in 1944 and later as it is today, and many children who needed tonsillectomies performed were of parents who eoukt no) afford it As many as 60 children were done within three days at the Granby Hospital just before the start of school.Bob\u2019s year came to a successful close and his successor was a local lawyer, Ben Mar chessault.\"Travelling Ben\" we used to call him, as he was a great interclubber.We visited Montreal, Ottawa, Sherbrooke, Quebec City, St.Johnsbury, Vt.when every member of the club made the trip, as well as many trips to Granby.Ben was a lively president, and we had a fine year under his leadership.The manager of the Waterloo Plywood, Jack Buckland was our fifth president and ihe club was once more blessed with a dedicated personality who was responsible for the steady growth of our Kiwanis Club.Jack was a tremendous driving force.When a job was to be done, and during 1949 there were many, Jack saw to it that there were no slackers on the team that was doing this job.No one will doubt that the leadership provided by this person was strong,sincere and for the benefit of all.Actually, Jack's year was so successful that Ihe ensuing years appeared to be losing group in some ways.Mike Cardinal, a French Canadian gentleman, was our next president, and a very popular figure.Mike did much to cement our relationships with his mother church.Ju-t a brief word on this would indicate that Waterloo never suffered from lack of understanding as other localities have, with the Roman Catholic Church or its officials Ties Is quite a correct assumption, ami certainly Mike Cardinal did a big job of helping cement these -tes.However, the club had to leave the Waterloo Hotel, and the meetings were held here and there, ami during President Bert Fisher's year the Legkm Hall became our place of meeting.Bert was a ball of fire, and kept things rolling and always happily.Bert worked hard at his j.b, and it was with regret that his resignation canu with the completion of his year, as he was in the midst of building a home on Clark hill ami found the pace just too hard.Dr.Moc Katz was our next president, and tor the first three months of 1952 our club was making a good come-back, but ill health struck our President the latter part ol March of that year, and we carried on until August when Dr.Moe had to resign both hi« office and membership.The club was in a real bad shape, and a meeting was called on August 22,\t1952 in the l.egiuu Hall to see if we could actually carry on.24 members were there and 23 said \u2022'Yes'* while only one dissenting vote.Wes Parkes took oxer the Presidency and Butch Bouchard the vice presidency and Roger McKergow took over the secretary's job from Rev.Mac t i.-ii no wa a Seventh day Adventist mint» ter and one ol the finest mem bers a club could hope to have on its roster.He was being transferred and had to re sign his (Hist which he held for a year and a half, taking over from Irving Slack, who was secretary for six months.Wes really did a line job of tying loose ends together and gelling tiie Waterloo Kiwanis Club hack on a working footing again after a tough couple of months.Butch Bouchard followed Wes and all meetings were held in the Legion Hall.The members prepared their uivn meals, and wt.ile il was fun and certainly a novelty, it was cpiite a chore.Butch started regular scheduled programs again and while many meetings were poorly attended.with as few as 6 or 8 out, the staunchest members kept at it, and by the end of the year, things were getting back to normal.Roger McKergow followed Biitch, and another year at the Legion Hall.When he had to leave the post of Secretary in order to take over the presidency, Roger asked Ken Lee, a h;gh school teacher to lake over, and together they worked hard to bring the clut back.While the members got some of their own meals, the ladies of the United Churcn, the Anglican Church and Legion took turns in catering, to the enjoyment ol all.The meetings began to improve as members came back, and nexv one.' joined.Our in Waterloo For 20 years lenth Charter Anniversary was celebrated in the United C Inucn Hall with Rabbi Harry St ere of Montreal as speaker.Here is one of the country 's better speakers and it was a truly gala affair.Alleu G twinge i, manager ol Carnation Co in Waterloo sue reeded Roger in 1955 am! as Ken Lee left Waterloo in June, John Chapman look over as se-erctary.A1 held mo s' ot his meetings in the l-egion, but se veial were held in the Canada Hotel, and bigget and better things were in .dort for us.A1 was a great planner and certainly did magnificent work among the underprivileged.In 1955 the Lt.Gov.o.thi- .listriel x.as les Memory of U'nno; ville, a member ot the Sherbrooke Club, Les, a respected and hard working Kiwanian was :1m second of this district to have served in this capacity ami t nave been so honored.Pc fully de served the tribute and he won for hi insult many more friends.This was a good year.Before going ji., trilniL' must be pan) u> .toon Chapman lor his work as Secretary, John is \u2022still secretary and his w ile Shir ley is nis line assistant.Such a member is ext r e m c t y hard to come by.and the Waterloo Club -an say \"thank you\u201d in so many ways to John and his faithful enthusiasm.1956 saw tnc oegmning of a nexv era in Kiwanism m Water loo as Tom Wilkinson moved in to the big chair.Tom had .ood ideas, good methods ot putting them across and certainly nan good results.Here was a dedicated Kiwanian, one who tlexo ted much lime to his job ami who was able to see the Kixvan is Club once more blossom out as a leader in the His trict.Alden Perkins, a l barter member was elected President for 1957.Now, Alden was accustomed to spending the winter in the south, and his vice president, Le» Hopperton, took over for the first 5 mon hs of the year.Les, who was a tremendous worker, organized the Little league Baseball club which flourished in this town lor five years,\tf! and which league bore\tI Les\u2019 names.However,\tëf as fate so often strikes\tTg Les died suddenly in\tiff June 1957, leaving a\t® gap in our club that was im possible to fill.When Alden resumed the reign, the club war on the upswing for sure, and continued under his able guidance.Here was a real finan ckr, and his projects had to go-rosebushes were sold by the hundreds \u2014- soli drinks by the case and other new projects such as Holland bulbs etc.were Alden\u2019s ideas.Frank Makin-on, imrrhasirg agent lor Crwmawt Ud.x»»s our follow inti president ami this year was famous loi

Wally Jenks, Manager of the Canadian Hank of Commerce followed Frank xvith hi» unique humour and his gentle but persuasive manner.He met all challenges with unruffled abandon, awl as he passed each one he appeared ready for the following one that was sure to conic along.Wally xvas a most pojMilar President, respect, d and admired by all who knew him, Waterloo is undoubtedly the (letter club for having been led by Wally Jenks.WaKer Hughes, next in line, took over the task of following in some pretty large footsteps.This job he did as only Waller could.The chili by now xvas really travelling, and our nexv president certainly did nothing to slow it down.New ideas, new plans and new projects were the brain children id Walu r and he was prepared to carry them through, which he did.He was succeeded by auoher fine leader in Art Reed Arthur was determined to see to d that the club lost nothing by nis being President, and the proof is evident in many ways mat such \\,as the case.One of tin' hard e-l working presidents lii ¦ club has ever had w as Ce i v McGovern in 19:i3.Our twentieth year saw Gene \u201cShep\u201d Sheppard move up lo the big job of president, it 're is a man that has placed he Waterloo Club on a pcdedal from which it will he dilficult to fall.Maurice Lulumiere, the first French Canadian president since Butch Bouchard, took over in 19t>2.No one will ever for get Maurice conducting his first meeting in English, lie was absolutely hilarious, and this is not meant in any way to be unkind.Maurice wanted to be comical, and he was successful.Yes, he xvas successful all year.With a strong club behind him, and some fine ideas to work on, Maurice had a real good year and turned in some real fine results.Lt.Gov.George Van-Kougnett was very active xvith his visits anri and was pleas eu with Mau rice amt his correspondeDct club.On the Golden Anniversary of Kiwanis we pay tribute to fifty years of service in the finest sense: Gevry Transport Lawrence Campbell Waterloo Building Supplies Reg\u2019d Arthur Reed Plastifoam Mfg.Co.Ltd.Armand Russell Dunlavey Electric Reg'd Andre Riendera Robert Pharmacy J.P.Robert, L.Ph.Carnation Company Ltd.Nelson Richards Compliments of Kiwanian E.M.Blake Chagnon Dairy Ltd Jacques Chagnon Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (Waterloo Branch) ft SHRRBROOKE DAILY RKCORD, DAT., FKtt a», I9(i5 YVONNK K IHU Dl'C « 1 lill president llieltord Mims K'm;inis Fun is serious in Thetford Mines People in Thetford Mines, for the last three years, have had a winter blowout \u2014 the annual winter carnival \u2014 and have helped children who would have possibly gone in need.The Kiwanis Club of Thetford Mines, like other Kiwanis Clubs, devotes much of its energy to the assistance of needy children.Its main fund raising for the past three years has been through winter carnival events.The club was founded in October, It has 42 members at the present time.President is Yvonnick Bolduc of Black Lake, The club continues to provide money and materials for the development of a boys\u2019 camp on the grounds of the Mont Villeneuve Orphanage, as well as helping the teaching brothers and boys.In the community generally, the care of sick and needy children of distressed families is carried on.Service The Kiwanis Club of Magog received its Charter in December 1950 and its Charter President was the Reverend .fohn Comfort.Ernest Simard was mayor in 1950 and at the Charter Night celebrations he expressed the gorxl wishes of the citizens of Magog to the newly formed club.Of the original members only Ted Foggo, the present secretary remains.It is the practice of Kiwanis clubs to elect a different president every year.The president for UKi5 is Stan Needier of Magog.-Vice-presidents are Arsène Bolduc is many and Dr.Howard Cayford, botu ot Magog, Jack Macintosh, of Austin, is treasurer.The primary object of the Club is to be of service to the community and although this can and does cover almost any form of service the main emphasis is on helping children, particularly underprivileged children.Irene* Fortier has been in charge of welfare work for several years and under Ids guidance shoes have been provided to needy school children, donations have been made so that free school meals can be given to poor children, ami recently things in hearing aids were given to two girls whose parents could not possibly afford such expensive things.All the hotels and motels in and around Magog have small placards in both French and English giving the limes of the services and masses in the local churches - the Kiwanis Club put them there.The Club has bought a number of wheel chairs and pairs of crutches for free loan to such as need them.The demand for these always exceeds the supply.The first litter baskets by the Magog City's Lake frontage were supplied by the Kiwanis Club.Every pensioner in La Providence gets a birthday greeting card - from the Kiwanis Club.All this welfare work costs money so if a Kiwanian asks you to support a club fund raising project do so willingly as you will be joining in a co-oper-ative effort to do something worthwhile in your community.We citizens of Magog can he proud of the Kiwanis Club and the service it renders to our City.Granby sponsors two clubs, active on The Granby Kiwanis Club was formed in 1939, sponsored by the Montreal Club, and it's first president was T.Y.O'Neill.The date of the Charter is February 21, 1939.It sponsored the formation of the Waterloo Club in 1944, under the presidency of Georgs H.Dureault.It sponsored the formation of the Sherbrooke Club in 1948, under the presidency of Fred.A.Wallace.It sponsored the formation of a Key Club in the Granby High School in 1957, under tho presidency of Rolland King.I» has continued to support-this Key Club up to the pesent timo, Georges H.Dureault was Lieut.Governor of Division No, 8, Ontario-Quebec-Maritime Di*-trict, in 1947.The Club's main service projects are listed below \u2022 Assistance ti Underprivileged Children, in.lading Ton-silectomies 23 in 1964) and orthopedic appliances.\u2022\tFor many years they supplied free milk to children of indigent families, through local schools and are now distributing free vitamin pills through the local health unit and some of the schools.Distribution each year runs at 50,009.\u2022\tThey maintain appliances to be loaned to public as required.There are 15 wheel chairs, 3 hospitals beds, 20 pairs of crutches.\u2022\tSupport and make an annual visit to La Colonie de Vacances, a summer camp for children of poor families, who are under par physically.\u2022\tEver since the formation of this club it has assisted the local Boy Scouts and Girt Guides.In recent years, contributions towards the expenses of sending two Scouts to World Jamborees have been made.\u2022\tFor several years it has arranged for and paid the fees for a pupil from one of the local high schools to attend the United Nations Seminar, held at Macdonald College.\u2022\tAssisted the Shefford Advi-visory Board of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.One member is chairman and another is treasurer.\u2022\tSupplied mattresses and pillows to local school for mentally retarded children.\u2022\tContribute towards cost of free lunches given to needy pupils by the Granby High School Cafeteria.\u2022\tSupport the local Pee Wee Soft Ball League and donate prizes for each year's winners.\u2022\tFor several years they have held a Kiwanikar Derby opened to boys from all local schools.There are two classes and each winner received a new bicycle.Different bicycle appliances are donated to those placing second and third.This has proven to be a popular event.JOHN *V.FANNING President, Granby Kiwanis We take pride in being able to list ourselves as members of Kiwanis International during this Golden Anniversary Year: Lucien Despres Past President Magog Kiwanis Aver s Clift, Que.Arsene Bolduc.General Contractor Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd.Thetford Mines, Que.G.W.Smith F.W.Woolwovth Co.Ltd.X.tor tier R.Beaudry Enrg.L.A.Doucet Asbestos Corporation Limited F.A.Cimnington R.J.Dl Cicco Dominion Textile Co.Ltd.rMagog Branch)\tMetro Atlantic (Canada) Ltd.Ted Foggo\tGranby.Que.XL ilensoa\tJohn A.Fanning \u2014 President Granby Kiwanis C.H.McNaughton J.M.Smith H.N.Young "]
