Only one member had a record below eighty for 1935. Eleven under ninety and thirty-five over ninety. This does not take in account members joining during the year. It is probable that our record does not differ greatly from that of the Charlotte Club. We should be glad to compare records with them, however, in the hope that if their showing is better than ours, it will be an incentive to improve our showing this year. x. Possibly one big contribution Rctary can make during the coming year to the establishment of international peace is for the leading men who constitute Rotary clubs in all countries to discuss the question: “What sacrifices and concessions can my own country offer to establish international peace among nations on a firm basis?” �————— BERRY RAA TPE Tragedies Of The Depression A recent issue of the St. Johns Rotary Spirit in discussing ing situation of the city makes the following statement: the bank- “Perhaps no phase of the economic upset in this country had more: tragic results than the default of securities in the hands of old people—people who had been thrifty and prepared for independence in old age only to have their funds wiped out.” We desire to offer another equally tragic result of the depression.

The answer is, Yes, indeed. Any Rotary club will welccme the visits within reason of either active or honorary members of other Rotary clubs. An honorary member of course has the right to attend all meetings of the club in member an honorary Occasionally he holds his membership. which resides in a city other than that of the club in which he has his honorary membership. In such a case it might not be reasonable for the Rotarian to undertake to attend regularly the meetings of the club in the city in which he resides unless invited to do so by the club. The difference between the position of an active member and an honorary member is that the active member has a constitutional right to attend a meeting of another Rotary club while the honcrary member hasn’t any such constitutional right. However, the honorary memker may be sure that when he is traveling of he goes to any Rotary club meeting and identifies himself he will receive a cordial invitation to attend the meeting. In the earlier years of Rotary the position of active members with reference to attending meetings of another Rotary club was exactly the nor Neither honorary members same as that of honorary members. active members had any “right” to attend the meetings of another Rotary club but it was the general understanding in Rotary that the doors of Because every Rotary club were open to visitors from other Rotary clubs. some Rotarians were inclined to be modest and diffident or because, possibly, they doubted the certainty of the welcome which m‘ght b? extended to them. the provision was inserted in the R.

Here is an. illustration: A Rotary club just eight menths old, in a town of 4,000 reported its activities as follows: The children’s playground was established and outfitted with necessary swings, etc. An outdoor skating rink was established for children. : Glasses were furnished for children whose parents were unable to provide them (in cooperation with the local B.P.O.E.) Midget hockey teams were backed. A gymkhana was staged and the outfits were provided for the boys. (Again assisted by the B. P. O. E.) A community Christmas tree was provided.

RAZZBERRY BY THE COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB x “HE PROFITS MOST WHO MARCH 23, 1937 | SERVES BEST” : VOL. 3—NO. 7 Will R. Manier, Jr. Rotary has become a great world force, partially because it is soundly based and partially because of the-vrganizing ability of its personnel. The heart of its organization has always been the Secretariat—that is, it has been until now. The presidents R. I. has performed’a very ueful funct'on. He has been the front. He has inspired Retary gatherings all over the world. He has perscnif ed Rotary almcst as a country is typified by its flag—that is, he has until now. This year it is different. Bill Maier has a different conception of the function of a President. He is nox spending this year in travel. He can be reached almest any time at the Chicago Secretar‘at. A letter to him gets an immediate reply. He is spending: his entire time in building the Rotary organization. He is in a class by himself. There is perhaps no man living who ha3 so wide a knowledge and’ so broad a coneeptioni of Rotary: as~he. I do not even except Paul Harris nor-Ches Perry. In his talk on Rotary Extension last Wednesday, he told-of Jini Davidson's dream’ of trebling the number of clubs-in R. I. B: I. ‘and on the continent “of: Europe. I am convinced that if he could beeome-a. salaried- President and could afford to spend: his time in Rotary werk; he wou'd- actually. accomplish:-that objective in five-years time. He would increase the number of c'ubs from: four thousand toe ten thousand and 2Imost’ double Rotary member: hip. Just. what. that would mean to the orld and to Rotary is hard to say but it certainly wouid be an outstanding contribution to world peace and understanding—an cbjective of the gravest moment when the war clouds are darkening the horizon and spreading over the sky with alarming rapidity. At the Rotary Institute at Detroit, the Ed became enthused with the notion of proposing to request Maurice DuPerry and Kurt Belfarge to pestpone the‘r candidacies for one year and consent to the re-election of Bill Manier by acclamation. But when it was broached to him he refused to consider it because he could not afford another year’s time away from his practice. There are, however, plenty of lawyers. If he were permanently out of the profession, the public would still be adequately served and he wou'd be little missed. But in Rotary there is on’y one Bill Manier. It seems to me that his field of service is clearly in Rotary. The balance of his lifetime should be devoted to it. It. probably should not be as Pres'dent. That wou'd. disrupt. the prevailing system tco greatly.. But whatever the title the actual responsibility of Rotary extension and organization should be on him—and at. an adequate salary. There need be no hesitation in-edding the salary to the budget. His activities would almost certainly resuJt in more than offsetting that burden by increasing Rotary’s financial resources. Perhaps this dream cannot be realized. Perhaps he would not eousider it. In my humb'e judement, however, he should. He would not be living up to his own-ideal of service if he refused to devote his life to the werk in which he could be of vastly greater use to the word than in his choren profession. We are sending & ccpy cf this number of the Razzberry to each member of the Board of Directors of R. I. in the hope of chal'enging the board’s attent’on to the preposal. �THE -RAZZBERRY THE ANNUAL CONVENTION (And Other Things) Probably no delegate can be sent from Coldwater to Nice this year. Charlie Pollock (or rather Ethel Pollock) had an ambition to go. It is probable, however, that their prololiged absence this winter will temporarily satisfy their flare for travel..The Ed had some stirrings of the wanderlust, especially because of his appointment as a delegate to the International Institute to be held at Montreux, Switzerland, the week before the convention. The enthusiasm subsided, however, before doing any great damage. The Soo, Ontario Club, is sending six representatives to the convention and offers to have one of its members act as proxy from any club in the district which is not sending a delegate of its own. We suggest that this offer be accepted.so far as Coldwater is concerned. There are about thirty Rotarign=-and Rotary Anns from, the district going over. Governor Barnes, his wife, and daughter, Kay, will head the party, together with the District Governor Nominee, whoever that may be. The question is not settled until the conference, cf course, but Kim Sigler is a good guess. The nom‘nation was conceded to him until recently when the Canadian Soo decided to projett Jim Shaw into the race. The Soo is entit’ed to great consideration but it is prebable that J'm will be pu'led this year. If the Sso C!ub proposes him next year, it will be hard to turn him down. Forty-six members of the Atlanta, Georgia Club are going. Sixteen United States Senators-and thirty-nine Representatives are Rotarians—so are President Roosevelt and Vice-President Garner. x: The Ed is today in receipt of the following brief note from the Secretary of the Rotary Club of Berlin, in which he extends greetings to the club.

Dear The value of such international exchanges is hard to estimate in these unsettled times. A world war is“in the offng. It seems inevitab!>. Every country in Eurepe is engaging in the most frenzied prevaration for it. But every international contact tends in the other direction. If Rotary principles could be universally disseminated and actually adopted, there would be no war. �THE BAZZELZRRY Having A Big Argument “Glenn Cowell, editor of the Coldwater Razzberry, and Jawn Caldwell, secretary of the Honolulu Rotary Club, are having a big argument over which is the largest city in the world in point of geographical area. Glenn says Los Angeles; Jawn says Honolulu. Jawn seems to be ahead, for he insists that the City limits of Honolulu-extends from Oahu to Palmyra. Since some of you may not recall the number of miles between those two places, let us inform you that said distance is 960 nautical miles. Now all you have to do is to find out how far a nautical mile extends. Glenn is now cheering the proposal to incorporate the Sahara Desert, so as to outelass Honolulu.

The Ed was the on'y Co'dwater Rotsrisn who attended the day sessions. It really was quite a wonderful institute. The attendance was composel almost entirely of men who take Rotary seriously and spend considerable time in its work. All of the sessions were addressed by Bill Manier and were devoted to various denartments of Rotary activity. It is hard to realize how the somewhat dry and hackneyed subiect of vocational service could be made the vehicle of such a wonderful talk as he gave at the luncheon Wednesday noon. It is also d'ff'cult to realize that such a pitch of enthusiasm for Rotary extension cou'd be aroused as was dove in the afternoon session. The talk on “Rotary-World Wide” was equally wonderful. Jn our judement this institute contributed greatly to the solidarity of Rotary in the 28rd and 35th Dictricts and its impact on the communities served by them.

A Suggestion From Quincy The Ed received a suggestion from the Quincy Club last week which well be paszed cn to Rotary Internaticnal. It is this. Both Qu.ncy and Bronson organized Lions C.ubs a few years ago but they were not very successful. In a short time the Bronson Club surrendered its charter. Some time later the Quincy Club did the same. In both towns, however, there was a field for a luncheon club. In Quincy the club was continued and now funciions successfully as an independent. The trouble was the financial requirements of affiliation with a general organization. In both towns it is recognized that such affiliation is des'rable. The fellows in Quincy feel that there should be some concession in financial requirements in small towns. Doubtless this matter has been given thorough cons‘d:ration by the Board of Directors of R. I. There are obvious objections to it but there are also cogent reasons why it should be done. The suggestion at Quincy was that in towns of 2,000 or under, Rotary units be permitted as affiliating with a nearby Rotary Club but without the requirement of a charter fee and with reduced requirement of contribution to the general fund of R. I. The affiliate club would be considered as' belonging to the parent club, wou!d no doubt meet with it on unusual occasions, such as Ladies’ Nights, but the regular weekly lunchecns would be held separately. Perhaps there should be but one Board of Directors for the entire organization. If that were true, members of affiliate clubs should be eligible to membership on the Board of Directors. Such a plan would work out wonderfully well in Branch County. If Bronson, Quincy and Union were to organize clubs of that character, it would result in much closer contacts among representative men of the four centers of population in the county than has ever been true in the past. A solidarity of interest and unity of action would be encouraged which would mean much in its development. Rotary teaches such solidarity of interest. A good Rotarian realizes that instead of profiting by the misfortunes of our neighbors, we are injured by them. Anything which benefits our neighbors redounds to our advantage. The same thing is true of communities. A county is never advantaged by rivalry and distrust among its communities. Ili is impossible to sit at table with men from another community without realizing that they are the same kind of good fellows and actuated by the same motives that you find in your community. Rotary has for years keen pressing development in small towns put with indifferent success. A relaxation of the requirements along the lines indicated would tremendously increase its infiuence and its usefulness. ; It is a well known fact that clubs in small communities develop a better Rotary spirit than in large cities. The same would be true to a still greater degree if the rules were so liberalized as to permit of the general extension of Rotary! into still smaller communities. Such an e%tens’ ‘on would doubtless involve a slight relaxation in the classification requirements. There are many angles to consider and many things to work out.

The Coming District Conference A recent issue of the St. Johns Rotary Spirit states that Muskegon is making unusual effort to assure the success of the coming District Conference. It is spending about three times as much as has ever been spent before in arrangements for it. It will unquestionably be an enjoyable and worth while event. The entertainment features of a conference are all right. It is important that the Rotary-Anns be provided with entertainment which makes it attractive to them to go. The responsibility for Rotary work is not on them but it is fine for them to become acquainted with RotaryAnns from all over the District. Fellowship among Rotarians themselves is promoted by a reasonable amount of entertainment. It must not be forgotten, however, that the District Conference has a more serious purpose than mere entertainment. A factor wh'ch has ccntributed as much as anything to the success of Rotary International is its well work out scheme of meetings. It starts with the weekly meeting of the club and goes on through the various steps of directors meeting, club assembly, district conference, district assembly, international convention, international assembiy with side lines of regional conferences. - All of these meetings have a function in the organization. They result in-a cohesiveness and centralization of energy which gives Rotary ah important and well recognized world influence. At the District Conference time is usually given for a boat ride, golf game or such entertainment as the members desire. The entertainment, however, should not be allowed to interfere with the time devoted to meetings. XX An attendance attendance at the trophy will be awarded to the club having conference. The plan is to consider both sidered the nearby clubs would members and mileage in making the always award. win If mileage the trophy. were the largest number of not con- : Dr, Amos O.

After our experience in Manistee, the Ed intends to stop at the hotel. XX Band Uniforms Needed The Voice of Sturgis Rotary says that money is being raised to send the lccal high school band to Cleveland to the national band contest. Their band went to St. Louis one year. The fact that it is striving for national honors must be a tremendous stimulus to good work. The Coldwater band is in bad shape now so far as uniforms are ecncerned. Mrs. J. A. Thomas, President of the Parent-Teachers Association, is inaugurating a campaign to raise the expense of procuring new uniforms. The cost is estimated to be approximately $1000.00. It is a worth while project. The high school band is the best solution of the problem we have ever had. It supplies band music much more cheaply and it is more easily available than any adult civic organization. The Chamber of Commerce and lccal civic crgen zations. like the Rotary Club, should fal! in line and give this project every assistance. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

You fellows it all who either with lack the must the time inform District Con- yourself about or the desire to Rotary to be a good Rotarian and the highlight of the Rotary year in the district is the annual conference. The outstanding event of the confersnce was, of ccurse, the election of a District Governor. Perhaps next in importance, so far as actual achievement is concerned, was the program of the Junior Rotarians. It is hard to over-estimate the value of the Junior Rotarian movement, both to Rotary itself and to these lads just budding into manhood. The impulse given them toward high standards of personal conduct and ambition for achievement is incalculable. The custom also has a community value. Appointment as a Junior Rotarian is a coveted honor. It is a concrete object for the better grade of boys in high school] to strive for in very active and has its influence in the lives were one of many boys. Al McKeown of Detroit, one of the fifteen directors of R. I., was its representative at the conference. He spoke at the initial session Monday forenoon and also at the luncheon Tuesday.

It would remove a hardship and way increase attendance if this fee could be eliminated. No practical has yet been devised, however, to do so. When the Ed was District Governor, he had an enthusiasm to avoid it and called a meeting of fifteen leading Rocarians at Grand Rapids to devise ways and means to do so. This committsce spent the whole day in discussion with that in view but wound up by retaining the registration fee.

In the last issue it quotes a letter from the Rotary Club of St. Joseph, Missouri, to the effect that a charter member of the St. Joseph Club has recently returned from an extended vacation trip in which he visited Honolulu. It also states that he gave an interesting lecture on his return home about the beautiful and interesting sights of Hawaii, the charming reception and courteous treatment. extended to him by the Honolulu Club. It also runs a letter from the Rotary Club of Alpena, Michigan, extending club greetings and stating that Don Lake of the Alpena Club had given his impressions of Hawaii-in a talk to the club. It strikes us that such exchange of greetings is well worth while and that the Coldwater Club might well enlarge its activities along that line.

At the door of the house President Byers. of the London Club handed him a silver key as a personal souvenir with the affectionate greetings of the Retary Club of London. Manier replied in aj graceful speech, concluding that he was “now opening the threshold of the:material home cf the Rotary ideals of London and the culmination of twenty-five years of devoted London Rotary effort.” The home is acquired, by the way, in celebration of the silver anniversary of the London Club, which is No. 17 in the chrono- logical numbering of clubs. So far as we know this is the only club which has a home of its own. Practically all the large club& meet-in hotels. A club house is a nice thing, however, and makes for coherence and fellowship in the organization. We extend our congratulations to the Londen Club on its fine achievement. : THE BELDING ROTARY RATTLE CARRIES THIS ITEM: '»Pete presented Herry Straicht cf Grand Panids who gave us an entertaining -nd inspirational talk Monday.” _.This carries a memory of the past.

I was creatly benefited bv goine to Marshall to hear Dr. Bil! Copeland, President of Linccln Co'lege Lincoln. Illinois. Dr. Copeland being one of thosre quiet, well spoken persons whose sincerity holds the attention of all without effort. His talk gave me the first real concrete idea of what a Rotarian can do and what is. exnected of a Rotarian. He cited a number of s»ecific services a Rotary Club may perform, for its own locality. jts own immed’a‘e neighbors, and the part it can take nationally and jnternationally. I left this meeting with a feeling. that a good Rotarian must not only be a good citizen but .n active citizen, and that Rotary can act as a guide for his efforts in b>ing of service. If Dr. Bill’s talk is representative of others sponsored by Rotary International, I hope to attend all within reach. —M. J. Hungerford. : ea Belding adopts a suggestion from the News Letters from the Secretariat which seems a good one. It is the dessimination of the Rotarian by placing it in libraries, schools and neighboring towns. Many of our fellows (including the Ed) fail to make the most of that useful magazine. It is, however, indexed in “Readers’ Guide to periodical Literature” and bound volumes in the local library would be valuatle. A copy sent to the schools in all of the towns of the county would also be valuable. Page Can we not arrange it with some the Community Service Committee. of cur unused copies.

RAZZBERRY ISSUED BY THE COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB X: NOV. 3, 1936 “HE PROFITS MOST WHO SERVES BEST” VOL. 2—NO. 26 Dedicated To The Pheasant — This edition of the Razzberry is dedicated to the Pheasant—an honor which no other game bird enjoys. Last year one meeting was delegated to the pheasant, at which time all kinds of tall stories were related. This year some of the finer points of pheasant hunting have been compiled to furnish educational as well as practical enjoyment. Seriously, the pheasant is a very wonderful game bird, not only as a table delicacy but’as a smart individual always trying to outguess the hunter, which incidentally he usually does. I believe that the ratio of the number of pheasants shot at and missed, Personally in comparison to the number of pheasants bagged is 6 to 1. my own average is about 25 to 1. One of the biggest factors in the pheasant’s battle with the hunter The pheasant is found in the most unexpected is the element of surprise. Then when the bird flushes, he makes so much noise that the places. hunter is unable to get. the safety off the gun in time to get a good shot.

J. Bien) The first essential is to have a thoroughbred dog of the pointer or setter type. I am not mentioning cocker and other spaniels because they are not true bird dogs, although they can be used very successfully on birds as far as bag limits go. We will therefore think of pointers and setters and my remarks will refer ee the common herd, 4Y to setters because my own experience has been only with setter dogs. Bird dogs are just like people in their program of life. They. must have certain things in their makeup and certain requisites if they are going to bloom out into some kind of a finished product. You can’t make industrialists or business men, doctors or lawyers out of all people. Most. haven’t the many requisites to lift them beyond \% no matter how much or what train3} ing is put on or into them. So it is with bird dogs. Many of them never round out into finished hunting dogs. I will therefore mention some of the requisites necessary that bird dogs must have to make them worthwhile for training and developing. First: gcod breeding. Second: courage. Third: bird sense (common sense). Fourth: well developed hunting instinct. Next: a well developed pointing instinct. Next: the dog can’t be gun or man shy. Next: Your dog must like and respect you 5o that he will enjoy doing things fer you. Many lesser things such as balance, poise, etc, go to make a better dog. The training of a young dog or pup consists of two divisions: first, yard training or home training, and secend: field training. The yard training consists of teaching a dog certain commands and to retrieve. It takes lots of time and patience to accomplish these things, and they should be accomplished in such a way so that a dog really likes to do them for you. He must “whoa”, “drop” or “charge” on command and be steady. He must fetch or retrieve on command unless the dog is a natural retriever. Then he may fetch on command, or without ccmmand, or he may not fetch at all. Forced retrieving dogs are better therefore because when once instilled into the dogs it is a duty performed on command. You can depend upon the dog retrieving at any time or under any conditions. Field training consis*s of taking a young dog into the field where ‘he can begin to see and find game, and at first run and chase at will, and have a grand and glorious unrestricted life. Before the dog can advance further we must wait for two things to happen: the hunting instinct to show itself and along with it the pointing instinct. These instincts coming to light vary in young dogs. They may come early, or be delayed, but until they are manifest, we must wait for them. When the huntine instinct begins to develop, the deg will at once act differently. He will mcre and more go about the hunting with some definite plan and 1 businesslike attitute. He will study his game and ccever, how and why birds act under different conditions. He will feel hurt and cheap when birds fool h*‘m and as he develcps, he will more and more love to hunt, but it will be a real business with him. Then the pointing instinct comes to light. He immediately adopts a different attitude. He becomes hesitant on finding birds where before he would rush into them, flush end chase them. But now, he begins ito held a point. He begins to work birds with some carefulness. He will drift with the wind and circle and swing in against the wind unless he is ground scenting entirely. �THE BRAZZBERRY The next and big thing is bird sense, which requires real understanding and intelligence on the part of a dog. He will now know more about the game he is hunting and the why and wherefore. He will know why birds will like to do different things under different conditions and he will work just as differently under these different conditions as to handle them properly. He will know where birds are likely to be and will work that territory thoroughly and systematically. Other less likely territory he will cover hurriedly, and others pass up entirely. He will just seem to know where to go.and what to do. He will save himself unnecessary hunting through his eyes, ears, nose and brain his, bird sense. The field training is full of disappointments in the early stages, but later very interesting and full of lots of thrills and beauty, as a good dog develops. The yard breaking comes into the picture in the field training. If the ‘yard breaking is proper it dovetails so simply and nicely in the field training work. When the dog swings into the hunting instinct picture, the command “Steady” will slow him down and especially if you have him on a long rope at this stage. When he begins to point birds the command. “Whoa” holds him to his point, and further the command “Whoa” or “drop” when the birds flush, so he wi'l no longer chase them, The commands “Fetch”, “find” and “Dead Bird” come into the picture in the actual hunting of game. If a dog is right there is very little you can teach him. The commands mentioned are just very helpful in the control and guiding of a dcg toward what he is supposed to do. If this ecntrol is right and exercised, he will swing into the picture very fast, but after that a “hands off” policy in the actual hunting of game is best. He will know much about the game he is hunting and how it ‘s handled. He will show you plenty of bird sens, skill in handling, and beautiful performance. It will be best for you to believe in what your dog is doing and that he is right. If you yourself, the big “wise hunter”, simply know the bird is here or there, and that the dog is all wrong, you are on the spot for your dog to humiliate you badly and show you how really Jittle vou kn-w. You can’t teach him anything about hunting, he has forgotten. more than you will ever know about it. Our local pheasants are grand birds to hunt. They are very hard on our bird dogs because they are so crafty, elusive and fast that it takes a lot of exper‘ence on the part of a dog before he can even handle them half way good.

The committee is making substantial progress but all cf the assistance it can have will help in two ways. First, its thinking will be more mature. Second, the plan evolved will be better received and more actively carried out. The committee appointed by the District Governor had its first meeting at the Hotel Olds, Lansing, Tuesday, October 19th. It spent the entire day in formulating its problem. As a result three proposals obtained much support. Each was referred to a sub-committee to be worked out and submitted to a later meeting of the whole committee, toeether with representatives from each club in the district. This meeting . will decide upon a proposa! and ask the whole district to adopt it and make it the vehicle of a nenewed Rotary service in the district. There were present and taking part in that committee meeting District Governor Kim Sigler and Probate Judge Stuart Clement of Hastings, Past District Governors Frank Barnes of Manistee, Bill Otto of Lansing, and Paul Bond of Charlotte, George Fern, State Director of Vocational Education, representing the State Department of Education, Dr. Howard Y. McClusky the State Hi-Y. Stub definitely Freeman, of the along the committee’s secretary of the state Bemer University of Michigan, whose work is Johns, Forrest line, representing that institution, Fred Y. M. C. A. and Ray E. Johns, head of and Sky Marshall of St. Averill of Grand Rapids, Andrew Lenderick of Kalamazoo, Denny Clancy ef Hilisdale, Bernard Shankland of Cadillac, Carl Horn of Dowagiac, Sam Gorsline of Battle Creek, Bob Marsh of Lansing, Bob Sharer and the Ed from Coldwater (the Ed being chairman of the committee). Every man tcok an active part in the deliberations. At times the discussion was somewhat tense but no blows were struck and no one was injured. As most of you will recall the committee grew out of the report’ cf Carl Horn on the Junior Rotarian activities at the Benton Harbor conference last spring. It was formed to canvass the pcss:bility of Rotary furnishing a substantial contribution to the solution of the problem of employment and recreation for youths in the Rotary towas of the district. ‘ aes : At the outset it was. the concensus of opinion of the members that the great power of concerted effort furnished by Rotary should not be wasted; that the crippled children campaign, while still a very active function of Rotary, no longer furnished an exclusive field for its community Service. : It soon developed that in the line of organized employment agencies, and recreational facilities, other agencies, both governmental and nongovernmental, have’ been concentrating on the problem for years. For Rotary, with less experience, to undertake the same campaign would be a duplication of effort. Three other plans, however, among which were proposed, obtained much support and all were thought to possess possibilities which should be canvassed. The first of these was an extension of the Junior Rotarian idea into the formation of a community group of adolescent youths, practically all beyond the high school stage. Paul Bond, who originally prometed the Junior Rotarian movement in the district, enSy �THE RAZZBERRY this for fought vigorously Bemer, by Stub supported thusiastically The Ed, while conceding its value, contended thet it was not plan. specific enough nor general enough to carry an universal appeal. was responsible for a plan George Fern (perhaps unintentionally) to enlist the Rotary clubs back of the present state program of vocational education, which Carl Horn adopted in his school last year and reported on very favorably. Dr. McClusky suggested the adoption by Rotary of a delinquency He said that in his survey of the situation that prevention program. was the one thing in the whole youth program which was not now being adequately attacked; that it had to do with boys who were on the verge valuable of but criminals becoming members This of society. reclaimed be still could with met suggestion much made and approval. At the conclusion of the meeting the District Governors, past and present, were made a committee on committees to appoint three subcommittees, one to explore each of the three proposals above outlined and report to the ‘general committee. This resulted in the appointment of the following committees: MOVEMENT. JUNIOR. ROTARIAN Paul Bond, Chairman. Clarence Bemer. Carl Horn. Sam Gorsline. EDUCATION VOCATIONAL Chairman.

He was to be followed by Walter Wood of Niles, Past District Governor, whose subject was tle Rotary Magazine. Harrington, however, had prepared his address the ground before he knew that he was limited to local publications and devoted most of it to the Rotarian. After he learned about Wood’s talk, he said it was too late to change his speech. He had prepared it from material furnished by R. I. and went over same Walter intended to cover.

We have had the opportunity: to observe its workings and to measure its usefulness. We realize-more vividly than- we did a year ago the intelligence with which this fine’philanthrophy’ is planned, the generosity with which it is financed, and the executive ability with which it is managed. There is always danger that such an institution will be taken Zor granted: that’a community will fail to appreciate its benefactors. We cannot afford to make that mistake—not because of its effect on the benefactor but because of its influence on ourselves. Gratitude is classed among the unpleasant emotions. But in the building of character, either in an individual or a community, proper appreciation of favors cannot be overlooked. Although the Rotary club doesnot represent the community officially yet as it originated the idea of the Branch County Health Unit and prompted the organization which secured it, we probably would not be assuming too much to express the gratitude of the City of Coldwater and the-whole County of Branch to Mr. W. K. Kellogg for ‘his wonderful service te the county. The Razzberry believes itself authorizd to act as the mouthpiece of -the club in that exprssion. We thank you sincerely Mr. Kellogg.

I had seen some reference to this correspondence in your bulletin, but am glad to see copies of both c-mmunications. However, my pleasure in the contents of these letters was spoiled by Secretary Glenn of The Razzberry being so rude as to refer to Rotary Club Secretaries as “Rough Necks”. I am sure this must have hurt your dignity. Some are good band-leaders and possibly some might be crooners for all I know, but I am shocked to learn that, if they are really good secretaries, they qualify for the Order of Rotary Rough ‘Necks. Since you have been elected, there is nothing I can do to help you exc*pt to give you my moral support in case you are ever permitted to attend another Rotary Convention and I happen to be there: = - - =*-= Bey eenonoluly oe ~8-18-36 WHAT ONE ROTARY CLUB HAS DONE As a practical youth service activity: the Rotary Club of Mani‘a, Philippine Islands, through the ‘untiring efforts of a committee headed by Chairman E. L. Hall recently issued ‘sixteen book'tets on the various professions written by club members and published by the club as a contribution to the Phillippine Vocaticnal Guidance Association.. These booklets have been placed .in the libraries of 400 high sehcols and colleges in the Islands and are now being used in twenty-four ..different ways. The cost of the booklets was reduced by using type. which had already been set up in the Journal of Education in. which the text first appeared. The Philippine Free Press, the largest weekly. magazine in the Philippine Islands secured the privilege of reprinting all of the booklets on its students page. As a result of three years’ efforts by Ro- tarian Hall the Government of the Commonwealth will make vocational guidance an integral part of the new educational system. It has called upon Rotarian’ Hall to draft plans for adult education for illiterates. _ Did you know that the French veterans’ organizations recently sent to the war veterans of Germany this message: “We say to you German comrades that the hour has sounded for our reconciliation. We must teach our peoples to understand and to agree.” ° oe —Iona otoutain: �THE RAZZBERRY What Is Your Hobby? The London~ Rotarian: has* been running a series of articles by its members entitled “My Hobby”. The following is worthy of. reprint. Since the Hobby series has been started I have asked myself, “What is my hobby?” Consciously, I do not think I have one, as I am interested in so many. aspects-of life. Sub-consciously, I think it is “keeping youthful,” mentally, rather than physically. Generally I take the attitude of youth (at any rate, my youth as far as I can remember it) as keing trat of rebellion. Why, I ask myself, should anyone be dammed eternally? Why. should there be extremes cf poverty and-riches? Why should most people always be living in fear? ‘Why shou'd pleasant. leisure be so sparsely spread? I believe, that these conditions can and mvst ke a‘tered. I have seen some progress during my life, though !ittle enough. ‘Another aspect ‘of youth is (or rather was) not to be bored but to enjoy the simple things of life and simple people. Youth can also adapt itself to varying environments, and I still try to do. this. On the other hand. youth thinks it knows everything, and there I fail to. carry out my. sub-conscious hobby. . Politically, economically, and socially I am. still.a rebel, I am glad to say, but now I lack some of the courage of youth in proclaiming the fact and pursuing. rebellious rims. Now, Mr. Editor, you have, if not a hokby, a confession, and that, I kelieve, is what you are really after. -Tt is rather interesting to note how: one’s physical exertions. have to change with added years. I ran on the cinder track as a young man, then I took up cycling, then hockey and the river, and now golf. and I suppose bowls. will follow. Anyway, I am glad to have always prefe rei to do things rather than watch others do. them, and I am sure many more- would have the same preference if they had the same. opportunities. I wonder if Rotary : The can help them. J. A.
