RALZBERRY ISSUED BY THE COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB xX “HE PROFITS MOST WHO SERVES BEST” JAN. 5, 1937 The year commences with brighter prospects than we have known for some time. Business is operating at record speed and, in many cases, at peak capacity. Farm prices are good. Mortgages are being lifted. A spirit of optimism is everywhere present. “The picture is not all highlights, however. The shadows are numerous and deep. The threat of war, both international and civil, is daily becoming more imminent. Whether this country can remain a spectator is a problem. If so it will profit temporarily from the woes of the rest ofthe world. At any rate, while the next war is in the making, we cre assured of a few years of abnormal foreign trade by the great rearmament program of Europe. Even small nat-ons like Switzerland and B:lgium are almost bankrupting thems2lves in a frenzied race for mil-tary “power. At home our prosperity is threatened ky the prosyect of industrial war. We are still savages. If we can’t run ourselves in one way we insist on doing it in another. And with all our prosperity we still have millions of unemployed. You can’t find a man to work for you but there are plenty of mén on relief. A, dole is like Frankenstein’s monster. Through it all Rotary is steadily gaining in numbers and inf‘uence.

CLIPPER December 24, 1936 W. Glenn Cowell, Alleged to be living in Coldwater, Michigan. Dear Glenn: In reply to your letter of October 28, I endeavored to pass the buck to one of our members, who makes his living writing very clever articles and advertisements but the copy he turned in did not cover the situation; so, like a good Secretary am) doing the job myself. Rotary in Hawaii is practically the same as in any other politcal Subdivision of our great nation except, that the Rotary Club of Honoiulu ‘is the outpost of American Rotary in the Pacific area. Rotarians from the nations bcrdering on this great basin enjoy the fellowship of the first American Club they contact when they hit the beach of Honolulu. Although, our Club is small, we enjoy a great advantage, and, likewise, serious disadvantages. The great advantage is that we meet and enjoy the friendship of Rotarians cf various nat onalit.es who pass through both to and from the Antipodes and the Orient. We have many friends and c‘ose contacts with the nationals of all Pacific countries. enjoy hearing talks by the outstanding men of many nations. ; In the fellowship of Rotary all barriers are elim:nated and the ers from other countries take down .of the subject under discussion. The people of Hawaii organized of Pacific Relations, which We speak- the:r hair and give us a true picture and brought has done a great into be! ng deal towards the better Institute under- standing between the nations of the world. The recent conference at Lake Tahoe confirms this statement. The Secretariat of the Institute cf Pacific Relations is located in Honolulu and the General Secretary, Charlie Loomis, is a member of cur Club. : The only disadvantage of our particular location is that we have so many outside speakers that we do not use enough of our own members on programs. The Rotary Club of Honolulu originated and promoted the idea of a Pacific Rotary Assembly. The first was held in Hono'ulu, Hawaii, My 25. to 28, 1926—Second: Tokyo, Japan, Oct. 1 to 4, 1928—Third: Sydney, Australia, March 18 to 26, 190—Fourth: Honolulu, Hawaii; June 12-to- 15, 1932—Fifth: Manila, P. I., Feb. 18°to 20, 1935. The next one is to be in: Wellington, N. Z., March 1 to 5, 1937. We make it a practice to send delegations to Pacific Assemblies, and have in many instances sent members of our Club to New Zealand and Australia to attend their district conf:rences, _ Although separated by many naut’cal miles of salt water Rotarians down below are close friends of those in Hawaii. The Rotary Club of Hcnolu'u has had many projec’s similiar to other clubs, but the best work that we have accomplished so far, and are <tili carrying out, is the eare,ef and operation on infants born with harelip and..cleft palate. Rotarian Joe Palma, M. D., Class fication, Pediatric’, gets, the privileged baby into satisfactory pre-operative condition and ‘Rotarian James A. Morgan, Clas ification, Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, a very skiliful surgeon, cperates. The medical service costs us nothing but we maintain at the Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital a Rotary Bed and pay all expenses for the underprivi’ eged child who is operated on. in addition we have purchased a complete outf t of special ‘instruments for this type of work. So far 50 cases have been treated. We hope in the space of the next year to correct all of the children who have these de- �THE: RAZZBERRY Rotary In Hawaii—Continued fects. In the future we will be able to take care of each one as born. Any Club which has the facilities for carrying out a project of this nature will certainly be doing something for the race which is worth-while. To appreciate the handicap of having harelip, take a mouthful of water and try to swallow it with your mouth open. So this is Rotary in Hawaii Nei.

A short news item on this subject recently appeared in “The News Letter”, the weekly publication of Rotary International, in which all Rotarians vere encouraged to visit other clubs. I am wondering how the number of “visits” from members of the Csldwater club compare: with the number of “visits” made by the members of cther clubs of a sim lar size and location. Much good can be accomplished by visiting cther clubs and the farther one is from his home club the more imperative his visits become. The members of*the host’s club benefit by your acquaintance and your own: club benefits by. the broadening influence cf the vist on yeu as an individual. Anything that helps you individually indirectly helps our club. —R. x E. P. The Ed has a letter from Colonel Evans, Director of the State Board of Aeronautics, suggesting that the project of improv:ng the airport w-th the assistance of federal funds be renewed. The recent major accident ‘in the air probably makes this an inopportune time to undertake it. However, the project is sound and cannot be permanently shelved. I: will have to be revived sooner or later. x: THE kinds UTICA CLUB There are three Those who get behind Those Those who climb aboard and ride; who ride and drag their feet.

If the value of the work is indicated by its price it must be well thought of because the price is three dollars per volume. The Razzberry would like information as to other Coldwater boys who have made good in the world. It would be a worthwhite activity to give them notice in these pages. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We who heard him at Battle Creek knows how full he is of his subject and hew well he tells it; so full of it though thet it might take two Razzberries to carry all his message. But in a four page closely writ* ten letter he outlines the valient features of the work of the society. As a result of the Rotary Convention in Battle Creek in 1919, this society was launched and incorporated in 1921, and until 1934 was financed entirely by Rotary. During this time 61 free clinics were held and over 5,000 children were hospitalized. Coldwater was cne of the earlier cities to avail itself of the privilege of a free clinic, and under the able manage~ ment of Harry Lansing the entire county was combed for possible cases that could be helped. Over 80 children were examined and about fifty were hospitalized. We have had visual demonstrations of the wonderful help some of these children received. Again about five years ago a similar clinic was held, by which a dozen children were enabled to have needed hospital care. ! The.Michigen Society of Crippled Children in 1927 sponsored and created the act establishing the Michigan Crippled Children Commission, and ever since has been on the alert to protect this law, keep the work out of politics, and secure the needed appropriations. As.a result of the activities of the society and the ccmmission 26,959 crippled children have been reported and on June 30th, last, there were 13,616 cases in the active file. In the nine years 13,343 children have been discharged. Discharges of course, involve different reasons, but of this number 4,251 were actually cured, and 1,467 received rehabiliation services. 4251 children rescued from a condition of dependency and care, and placed squarely on their feet like other children, is certainly a worth-while work, and something in which we can be thankful to have had a part. The financing of the work of the Michigan Society for Crippled Children is accomplished almost entirely through the sale of Easter Seals, which this year will carry the slogan “Joyous Life for Crippled Children,” a worthy objective indeed. While it will be some little time before the actual sale of stamps begins it is not tco early to acquaint our members and the public with the chance they have to help do a lot of kiddies a lot of good by the simple process of buying liberally of these stamps. es THE FORGOTTEN FIELD OF ROTARY The so-called “forgotten field cf Rotary—Vocational Service—is th2 one wherein lies the real genius of Rotary. It is high time we re-discovered that “forgotten field” and reenlisted the efforts of all Rotarians to take back to their professions, their crafts and their trades, the Rotary ideal of unselfish service. Tcday there is a greater need than ever before to put the ideals of Rotary into business and the professions. —Manilla Rotary Balita. �PIE Aw Se hh Y A Sign of Littleness So, A man and said: now I “I have crossed me once, of my life.” have and my been waiting chance.” I will make ten years Another him to get even said: regret “That with fellow it if it takes me So-and- double- the rest Each of them was really saying, “I am a little man.” For jf biography and- history teaches us anything it is that big men almost always vefused to poison their spirits with vindictiveness and hate. Napoleon was by na means an ideal character, but he had superb :ndifference to personal animosity. When someone questioned his judgment in appcinting one cf his critics to an important. office, Napoleon expressed surprise. “What do I care what he thinks of me,” he demanded, “as long as he can do the work.” Abraham Lincoln amazed the nation by putting into h’s Cabinet his foremost political adversaries. As Secretary of War he chose Stanton, who had snecerinely characterized him as a clown and a gorilla, He made Seward Secretary of State, knowing well that Seward regarded himse’f as’much the abler man. Chase, his Secrtary of the Treasury, used his Cabinet influence to promote his own chances for the Presidential aomination. It meant nothing to Lincoln co long as Chaze kept the confidence of the country and did his work well. When McCle'lan snubbed him brutally, and Lincoln was urged to replace him, he replied: “I will hold McCtellan‘s horse if cnly he will give us v:ctories.” Disraeli had the same calm superiority to personal resentment. When a partisan of more vindictive turn expressed his astonishment at his meekness, he replied: “I never trouble to be avenged. When a man injures me, I put his name on a slip cf paper and Jock it up in a drawer. it is marvelous te see how the men I have thus label‘ed have the knack of disappearing.” In the Bible is this sentence: “Vengeance is mine. I will repay, faith the Lord.” A certain proportion of men feel that they must help the Lord in His task cf repayment, that otherwise He will get behind in His work. So they nurse personal injuries; they harbour resentment, and accept every opportunity to denounce and criticize. These are never big men. , Big men are too busy.—Bruce Barton. ———-—-x Last week as part of the refreshments fcr the Hi-Y banquet the ‘local organization asked Harold Stock of Hillsdale for five hundred dovghnuts. Stocks make doughnut flour, have doughnut machines, and the combination gave the local beys the idea that the mil makes doughnuts just for the fun of it. Harold generously complied and a couple of days later brought a party of eight or nine over to the Hillsdale-Coldwater basketba'l game. Bob Sharer recognized him, unceremoniously passed his entire party into the game. ; Harold is usually on the “giving end” of things and was genuinely pleased at this gesture. Bob Sharer’s a smoothie. x Sometimes we wonder what a Rotary table would say if it could talk. Perhaps it would say: “He always sits here.”; “He eats so fast he hasn’t time to talk.”; “He sings rather well”; “He doesn’t cing at all”; “He never brings a guest”; “He’s worried if the speaker gces 2 minute overtime”; “He has a good time every time.” What does the table know about you?

The association with other men of energy, ability and high ideals, sympathy and personality, stimulates. those same qualities in a «ew member. Hew much change can be effected in one who does ‘not come into the Rotary Club with those traits is a matter of argument. The pr:mary purpose cf Rotary is to create and exnand the fellowship which shculd exist between those upon whom there falls the responsibility for leadership in the community. By reason of this fel’owship, there is generated a desire to be of greater service to the community. Do we make Rotarians when we bring new members into the Club and he’p to cultivate in them the ideals of Rotary, or do we merely ‘liscover men who had those qualities and provide them with an opportunity to display their worth?

Last year the Razzberry began advocating it. Hugh Clark raised the objection that no adequate purpose was in view. The objection was, of course, good. People work for a definite concrete object. The primary purpose of the propcsal was the impulse such an enterprise would give to the life of the club itself. That, however, was too intangible to arouse the necessary enthusiasm. This year we renewed the suggestion and Roy Putnam supplied the objective. That removed all opposition. The success of the project seems assured. It will accomplish the following very worthwhile purposes: 1. Assure the success cf a worthy Iccal enterprise. 2. Popularize the club in the community. 3. Revitalize the club itself. MINSTREL SHOW NOTES Raymond Hitchcock Hearing Bill Frankhauser dust:ng off the old one about being fully apparelled with no destination takes us back to the old days of the San Souci minstreis, when Art Walker made that song famous. Incidentally The rule that also sang al! witty it. remarks at practices must emanate from leaders is almost causing suffocation to some of the wise-crackers.

No members of the club can be picked out for special mention. The whole club from President Put and Secretary Hugh down to George Vail has done its part.

Because of the publicity of the show, there is danger that the club will be given main credit for the campaign. That would be unjust to the Parent Teachers’ Association, which inaugurated it and, with the helo — : of other societies as well as Rotary. carried it to: a successful conclusion. In that connection it is well for us to remember that Rotary does not assume leadership in community enterprises where there is other competent management available. But every Rotarian is expected to be active in all worthy projects. In spite of the prevalence of flu and the natural re-action from the hard work of rehearsals, it now appears we will put on a creditable show at Hillsdale tenight. Frank Cook, Harold Stock, Dwight Harwood and Bill Prideaux, the Hillsdale committee, came to rehearsal Sunday and courteously offered to release us from the undertaking, but the crowd was in no mocd to abandon it. There was as much pep in that rehearsal as in any we have held. �o Coy THE’ RAAZBERRY The Big Show—Continued The Hillsdale Club is one of the best clubs in the no finer group of fellows anywhere.

Nagnel of Gand (Belgium) to'd. us last February, is a work full of nobility.” And this work, he defined to us, explained it to us with eloquence, g’orified it to us. There are in this substantial discourse to which I refer you, ideas that could be called mother-ideas. or again strength-ideas, because, made fruitful they are capable of producing comfort, enthusiasm, in a word, life. I. will sum them up, by saying that they dispo-e men to hep -each other and to love each cther, all men w:thcut distinction of class, of your religion and of nationality. That is good. that is fine, and that comprises a whole program, You will find it therefore natural that I attach mysef to these high ideas. and, that I attach myself to them as to a flag and so much more closely that the times are troubled. In order to be more exact and more true, I shall have to say that w2 are in the presence cf a state of affairs so really abnormal! that it impos2s on us in the first place, a redoublement of vigilance and of prudence. -Events, you know, move quickly. Perhaps they surpass in quickness the visions of the mest clever and the most subile minds. A‘l the more reason to hold available all our energies. Of course in order that they may be prcductive it is necessary to as‘sign to them an aim. In my opinion, it is of imnortance. above all tio keep confidenc? and reascn and to cons'der humanely the human problems fcr whose solution the world is on the alert. It is not necessary to repress, a priori, the forces that aim to establish a new order. It is not neces“ary above all to live anart from movements that we see and that seem’ to be cn'y the vre‘ude of movements more profund. For, let us not ferget, the things which happen without us happen against us. �SR» THE RAZZBERRY ——— Louis Moinault’s Letter—Cont’d And that is why I invite to our luncheons prominent personalities of contrary cpinions whose judgment is. certainly valuable. It is necessary to go ahead and to stay young—I should like that to be our motto. It is necessary for the Rotary to have its great windows open on the even wer'd — cn the entire world; that it show itself we!com:ng, conciliating and always dispozed to receive the most diverse and audacious suggestions, free to differ from them, after exam‘nation. For I do not forget that I am of the country of Descarte and Pascal. I should like for it (the Rotary) an increased authority, an authority shin_ng sce bright, so real that in high places, in any country, one could not disregard it. An authority specifically rotarian. We wil acquire it by continu‘ng to work in peace. in union, elbows c’ose together and faithful to our ideal which is — I have pleasure to say it again lcudly — an ideal of beauty, of humanity, an ideal of life ardent and generous.

The Ed wrote the Secretariat to find whether the 35th District was being changed. President Bill Manier, Jr. replied personally, saying there was. no change in the 35th but the 3rd is being split in two. The northern portion contains the fcllowing clubs. Ontario (8 clubs)—Aylmer, London, Meaford, Owen Sound, St. Mary’s Sarnia, Stratford, Woodstock.

The Southern portion contains the following clubs: Ontario (8 clubs)—Amherstburg, Bienheim, Chatham, Essex, Leamington, Ridgetown, Thamesville, Windsor. Michigan (29 clubs)—Adrian, Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Blissfield, Brighton, Carelton, Center Line, Dearborn, Detroit, East Dearborn, Ferndale, Flat Rock, Hamtramck, Highland Park, Howell, Milan, Monroe, Mt.

RAZZBERRY BY THE COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB x FEB. 23, 1937 “HE PROFITS MOST. WHO | SERVES BEST” VOL. 3__NO. 6 The Founder of Rotary Paul My Dear “Boh”: H. Harris Chicago, - Ill. February 4, 1937 As you doubtless know, I came to Chicago in 1896 ta practice law. I happened to dine with a brother lawyer one night in Edgewater and after dinner we went to walk about town and dropped in on several .of . his neighborhood friends who were local shop-keepers ‘but. no two were in the same line cf trade. |. I was at the time, a young lawyer of few clients, and almost no friends or acquaintances, having been brought up in a small New England town. I missed my friends very much. The experience with my brother lawyer impressed me very deep'y; he had everything I had been longing for. I, mulled over it for nearly five years and my ideas expanded considerably during that period. As far as I can remember, Sylvester Schiele, still a member of the Chicago Club, was the first to whom I spoke of the movement I had in mind. �THE ‘RA ZZABE REY The Founder of Rotary—Contd. The Chicago Club grew very rapidly and its success awakened the ambition to extend the movement much further and to direct its impetus of usefulness. Sincerely yours, Paul H. Harris. The above letter was ccntributed by the founder of Rotary, especially for this anniversary number of the Razzberry, and. as a personal message from the first President of our great organization to the Coldwater Rotary Club. It is a recognition which is unique and exemplifies the fraternal spirit of Rotary, which is the predominating characteristic of Paul Harris. In this miessage he portrays the very nucleus of the organization and allows us to fathom the innermost thoughts which led him to seek the companionship of his fellowmen and thus sowed the tiny seed which has multiplied by many thousand fold and has spread the beneficent jnfluence ‘of Rotary into the farthermost corners of the earth. Little did he realize when the grovn of four sat down to that firct ecnference table on Feb. 23, 1905. exacty thirtv-two vears ago today, that it was to become one of the greatest organizations of its kind in the world. It must warm his heart and cheer h‘s soul to have been spared the years so that he has the bountiful pleasure and u'timate satisfaction cf knowing what he has builded: a lasting and enduring edifice: one no‘ made of stone, or brick, or mortar; but from the lives and energies cf men, through whose influence his human svmpathy and bountiful charity shall be carried far into the future until it shall touch the hearts of man in every home, every state, and every nation on the face of the earth. 7 “WHAT ROTARY MEANS TO ME”’—“A ROTATING BROWNIE” R. Stands for Rotary, that you all know. O. is for Others, unselfish, and so T. to be ready to help out a Brother. A. is for and, that means, one Another. R. for Respect, and that’s understocd. Yes, a real Rotarian, he has to be good. Good to himself, and to all mankind. There is no excuse, for he is not blind. Tho he turns a deaf ear, whenever he chooses, But in doing that. he the benefit loses. As to your own lives, you must be your Master. If you’re not, your own Craft will sail on to disaster. Put yourself in the back ground, g0 way back And smile as you do so, forgetting to frown. Don’t act Remember, like a monkey, there’s others, who can has scre wiggle news. their and sit down jaws. Let’s celebrate Rotary cn Paul Harris’ plan. Read over its objects, then act like a man. And say to yourself, were Paul here today. Would I be his sort of a Friend, wou'd he say. “T’m proud of you fellews, you’re doing rieht well For a bunch of Rotarians, I think you excell.” --Rotary Ann Shattuck. ‘ pes) ‘ �DAE A WHY ZZ I LIKE Ry ROTARY Really, this is not such an easy subject if I am to be honest about it. Did you ever ask yourself the question, “Why do I like Rotary” and then try and write it? I know well enough the proper thing to say, and should bear down on all of the spokes and cogs of the Rctary Wheel; everything this symbo! stands for is ideal, but did you ever notice how many cogs there are? So I believe that if we can each get in gear once in a whi'e, we at least belong to the wheel and are all a cog in it. . Now to my subject: My association with Rotarians has made me more tolerant with the cther fellow’s viewpoint; there is always the remote possibility that I might be wrong; to strive a little harder to be competent and to render the service in my profession that shou!d be rendered. I have learned a great deal from the discussions at Rotary meetings, both from our local members and the various talks and subjects taken up by outside speakers. Also this Service Motto has induced me to assume at various times, tasks outside of my regular work, which, had I followed my inclinations, would have been done by somecne else. Upon studying this paragraph, I will add that the examp’e established week after week by many of the officers, has had a very good influence. I could continue te ponder and analyze my reacticn to various incidents connected with visits to other clubs, their very fine hospitality, and the weekly contact w:th our club members, a great many of whom we would only meet occasional!y and then not get to know them if it were not for our club. The above are mainly my reasons for l’:king Rotary. George Vail. The first reason that I would like to give for liking Rotary, is qu:t2 personal. When I was asked to represent my prcfession in the c’ub, I felt that a signal privilege had been granted me and in the years that have passed-since then, that first feeling has been greatly deepened. During these years I have had the privilege of fellowship and comradeship with my fellow Rotarians from practically all of the busine*s and professional classification in the community. Th‘s has meant much to me and I feel that I have been very distinct'y the winner. Moreover I like Rotary for its “Four Lane Highway” of principles, neat'y summed up in the term cf “Service”. I like Rotary also for its world-wideness and, I believe that in proportion as the spirit and works of Rotary prevail, the chances for international good will are greatly increased. Herb Hurrell. x: OBSERVATIONS OF A ROTARY ANN As a cateress at the Rotary luncheons for several years, I have made the following observations: I know that Herb Lee hated corn bread; that George Branch does not like pumpkin pie; that Si Treat did and stil may prefer Swiss steak to chicken Melba toast, and that Char’ie Pollock takes green tea when he has a headache; also that Bill Frankhauser cannot stay in his seat during the time lunch is be:ng served, he roams around and takes the butter and rolls from any tab’e that has a surp us. I think the c'ub very wise in backing public projects only at long intervals and in this way it will not become too. commonplace and thus will mainta:n the interest of the public and secure their support. I wish to thank the members of the club for the many delightful ladies’ night entertainments which I have enjoyed and I am sure that this expresses the sentiments of the entire Rotary Ann membership. Sincerely, Rotary Ann Mi'nes. �—————_._ «§s THE RAZZABERRY Yost Day Today The City cf Coldwater honors itself as well as an outstanding citizen of Michigan in the celebration of Yost Day today. Fielding H. Yost: is more than a football coach. He is more than the director of athletics at a University. He is a great force among the youth of Michigan today. His influence for clean living, clean sportsmanship and high standards of morals cannot be over-estimated. In these days of alarming relaxation from the old standards of conduct, the importance of such an influence must not be overlooked. Mr. Yost commands the respects of all boys for his achievements in athletics. He has never stooped to win games by tricks or artifice and has not approved of low grade physical, moral or ethical practices. To hold him up as an example to the you‘h cf Coldwater is a deserved compliment to him but it means much more to. this city in furnishing the right kind of idea! for its budd:ng manhood. Sas anEnEEEEEnEnnEnees Seinen WHAT ROTARY HAS MEANT TO ME Rotary has for eight years been an opportunity to me—a wide oren door of opportunity. This open door has made possible for me a fellowship with men of this community which wou'd have been impossible if the door had been closed. Rotary has provided me with an open door of opportunity for prac- tical service. This service has been effective and practical because it was offered by joint: thought and effort of fifty men to needy causes in the community. Rotary has been an open door :n a th'rd sense. It is easy to get so concerned in one’s own business that a fe low loses interest in the many problems of society. The regular Rotary programs with their varied subjects provide one with a continuing course in general education, and in this way Rotary opens .a way of escape fram. the deadening ruts of daily routine. Bob. Sharer. “Often, before having the opportunity of kecoming a Rotarian, I had the impression that it was just a luncheon club, but, starting from the time Bob Wade gave me the Principles of Rotary, I have found some worth while advantage and enjoyment with every meeting. Now, Rotary appeals to me as an institution offering the means cf public service to your community; an opportunity to broaden one’s se'f through intimate contact with an excel‘ent grcup of representative business men. i Rotary offers a place for young men to learn to give service in cooperation with others where they wll receive the satisfaction of ac- complishment withcut personal glory. The social part of Rotary is pleasant and entertaining; its value, however is personal and acts as a means of keeping the organ‘zation intact. I sincerely believe that Rutary can take just an ordinary man and make a good man of him. M. J .Hungerford. a TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FROM BOB KERR Aren’t there quite a number of fellows in Coldwater who would qualify for some unfilled classification in Rotary? I believe that without a doubt the greatest sati-fact‘on the most of our members get from the Rotary club comes from the: contacts and the associations with a good many fellows that we do not get together with very often except at Tuesday meetings This satisfaction perhaps could ke Froadened if some of each of us could recommend a couple of likely prozpects to our Membership Committee. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
