True to its creed, the Civic Club yesterday paid a well deserved compliment to a leading'citizen when it entertained Mr Edmund -Goodbehoro as its guest. To that gentleman, in the matter of civics; might be applied' the familiarism, honour to whom honour is due. The Goodbehere family has been hero since the foundation of things, an<l the present head-of the house is an important personage in the community. As the guest- of the dub yesterday

As a leading citizen down through its years lie actually lived the history he gave li.is. hearers. Mr ■Goodbchere thoroughly deserved the compliment paid him by the Civic Club, lor lie has earned l>v good citizenship just that kind o r appreciative compliment that far Lop many of the pioneer efjzons of the Dominion's cent res °l population do not receive—that o| a. demonstration ot appreciation.
