Lionism implies courage, strength, and activity. Lioniam
implies fidelity. Fidelity means answering loyalty to a per
son a principle, a duty and a trust. Lionism is real, red
blooded, two fisted patriotism. , j

social and civic opportunities, support the laws, direct public
counsels and in every way make the lives of men better and

you have accomplished this you perhaps have accomplished
about all there is in life. Lionism is friendship friendship

The progress of Lionism has
been truly remarkable when we
recall that since the incorpora

Illinois state laws in June, 1917,
with dome 25 clubs, that we now
number more than 500 clubs with
a total membership of approxi
mately 30,000.
Such a growth would not be
possible unless the underlying
principles and purposes were of
an exceedingly h'gh and broad

GREAT HUNTER
ARTHUR COPELAND, DIRECTOR
Our great Lion hunter, Arthur
I. Copeland, of whom we may
11 be proud, 'has visited the jun
gles of Salem. The experience
and shrewdness of this hunter is
thoroughly demonstrated in the
'act that while this is not the
largest bagging of game r catch
es he has made, he claims they
are the finest specimens of Amer.
lean citizenship in Lions that
have been launched in one hunt
ing expedition on the Pacific
coast.
When the gates of the Port
land Den of Lions had been closed
and securely, locked, the veteran
hunter journeyed here where an
expedition was begun. In due
time 50 cubs have been rounded
up, lassoed, and tonight will be
locked in Salem's Lions Den of
Captivity.

came a short time ago to our jun
gle city a perfect stranger, un
known to the people of Salem,
and the closing of the gates of
the den this evening with 50 cubs
therein marks the success of this
hunting expedition. Nothing but
tenacity of purpose, will to -succeed
at all obstacles, refusal to
be discouraged could have done
it. We believe in placing the
credit where . it belongs and to
Lion Copeland the initial success
of the Salem Lions club is surely
indebted. It is only due to some
of the lessons that he has learned
while working for his education,
the determination and stick-to-it-iveness
that has made our club
possible. Attaining his goal and
making a success of whatever he
tries is the only turning point he
knows. ' 4

Lionism is synonymous with
civic progress. It cannot exist in
a staio of coma any more than a
lion direct from the jungle could
exchange his nature for that of
the cptssum. There are g-eat
poss bUities in this new brand o'
fellowship that has been suggest
ed to the world as an agency that
serves end begets cooperation.
The need for it was born an a re
sult ot the World war. which
taught us the value of concen

concerned about blowing Its own
horn; it doesn't seek self-applause.
