■ That the Levin Junior Chamber of Commerce recognises the value of the service rendered to the community by Mr. E. J.

Glowing tributes were paid to Mr. Stanley by the Chamber 's retiring president, Mr. N. Tnornley, in his remarks prior to pinning the JC badge on the recipient. Mr. Thornley saiTrTTlaTnWf. Stanley's work in the community was the realisation of the J.C. ideals and motto of "Fellowship, Education, Service and Action." He would stress that the centre was doing what it was entitled to do, said Mr. Staffiey in repiy. As a training centre, its duty was t: inculate in the boys a s6nse of civic pride. ,This had been obtained by the co-operation of the citizens and >in particular the Levin Junior Chamber.
