Lions International Convention Offers Activites For Everyone

. By JERI SEELY Do you want to have fun on your next vacation? If you are a member of the Lions club and haven’t been to an international convention erf said organization this reporter can almost promise you and your family the time of your lives if you attend such an event. The convention is held in a different city of the world each year and promises a variety of activities which are truly international and suit the taste of even the most hard to please. It gives you a chance to meet people from near and far as there are Lions clubs in many countries throughout the world. Mr. and Mrs. Jim White and daughters and my husband. D. G. Seely, and I were in attendance at the 53d international convention held July 1-4 in Atlantic City, N. J. Both men are members of the Milford Lions club. My husband is a deputy district governor pf 25-G and White is a memberyof the Indiana state Lions band and Lion Tamer of the Milford club. Atlantic City is the home of the world famous boardwalk —a boardwalk some eight miles long currently celebrating its 100th anniversary. It is the home of the Miss America contest, the place one finds the huge convention hall, rolling chairs, amusement piers and miles of sandy ocean front beach. The boardwalk looks its age — it is lined on the east by the ocean and on the west by stores and hotels, many of which have been standing since the beginning of this resort town a century ago. The convention hall is truly an amazing structure. It’s so large that you soon realize the best place to watch the Miss America Pageant is in front of your own television back home in Indiana. From all but a very few seats in the house those on the stage look like small mechanical dolls! A new addition currently under construction will make it the largest such building in the world. Wednesday — opening day of the convention! It’s 9:30 a m. and the parade is underway —a parade that will last from four to five hours and will feature representatives of every state in the U.S. and many foreign countries Indiana's delegation this year was led by past international director Norm Brennen The Indiana state banner was next in line, followed by the state band and the Lions and their ladies. All are dressed in the traditional black and white that has become the’ trademark of Indiana Lions at international conventions the past few years. Results of the judging: Indiana

EVERYONE LOVES A PARADE — These ladies are just a small part of the Lions from Indiana who marched in the annual international parade held recently in Atlantic Citv, N. J. The Indiana Lions won third place honors in the parade.

receives third! The parade over you take advantage of the tickets in your hospitality book and visit a wax museum along the boardwalk or the Steel pier, enjoy a boat ride or a trip to the top of the tall tower that gives visitors a birdseye view of the city. Or, if you like, you can sun yourself at one of the motel pools or along the ocean front. You can swim if you like. If you like adventure then you can strike off on your own and see the city as you like, relax, trade pins with other Lions or do whatever suits your fancy. It s a time of fellowship with new found friends from near and far and you have no one to blame but yourself if you don't have a good time. At 8:30 p m. the convention is called to order and there are the traditional introductions of the official family and welcomes. There is also an address by the international president. The most impressive part of any Lions convention is the presentation of flags! The building, as large as it is, was totally dark except for spotlights as flags of 107 nations were presented on the stage When all were in place the flag of Indonesia, where Lions clubs were

organized for the first time last year, was presented. Last of all the Stars and Stripes were presented by Miss America as the spotlights followed the flag of the host nation and the lovely lady who represents it down the aisle. As they reached the stage the orchestra broke into the Star Spangled Banner and thousands of Lions joined together to sing its praise. Indiana Breakfast Thursday we were up and off early to the Indiana Breakfast where 278 Hoosier Lions and their ladies joined together for the morning meal. Here instructions were given to the delegates and introductions were made. Soon we were on our way to the convention hall. No one wanted to miss the address of the morning as it was given by Captain James Lovell. Jr., U.S. astronaut. During his comments Lovell stated we are witnessing the birth of a new man: “Man of the Universe.” He also remarked about the flight of Apollo 13 and of the prayers of the world that were for the crippled spaceship as it journeyed towards the earth. He gave thanks for these prayers Following the address Lovell was presented a medal of distinction by international president W.R. Bryant. Nominations were made on Thursday for the international offices and as at any political convention ralleys were held for the various candidates.
