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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. It seems to me, however, that the result to be ga’ned thoroughI svg~ect that the ly justifies a caveful consideration of the nrorosal.

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.

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.

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.

JUNE 30, 1936 A Welcome ed CLUB Outcome As this issue of the Razzberry reaches its readers the Homer Furnace plant wili again be in operation. This outcome of ihe recent troukle is very welcome to every citizen. There is no cne in ihe commun_ty who does not directly or indirectly benefit from the fayroll of that institution. The company still has pending a petition for its dissolution. ‘That petition was filed because its finances are not in a condition to stand the strain of a long contest. The assets are sufficient at present so iaat creditors could be paid in full and the land and buildings remain to the stockholders. After a prolonged shut-down, that would rot ke true. 'Th2 creditors might receive only a portion of their claims and Mr. Strong be entirely wiped cut of any return fcr his lifetime cf effort in build rg the institution. A dissolution proceeding requires a considerable time for jts completion. Hence it was considered wise to start the machinery at once and complete it if necessary. The reason the proceeding is not dismissed with the opening cf the plant is merely the possibility that something might happen to make it necessary for the company still to avail itself of it. There seems now, however, to be little Likelihood that such a contingency will ari-e. Enou h of the men have signified their des‘re to re‘urn to work, co theze is little question that the plant will be adequately manned. The men whe are willing to return are in a mood to fight for their jobs. If a small m‘nority rfhould undertake violence, it will be met so vigorcusly ky coth.the company and the men that there is little danger of its success. The fight to get back vclume prceduction will be a Jong one. The company’s furnace game has nct badly been ‘nterruvted. 'Trat is :ts own production. There it is dealing with the nublic. Its furnace buziness however, is but a small part of its total volume. In the custom foundry game considerable volume has been lost, in that it is -bliged to pive daily service. Its customers must have regular production. Many cf them have recaptured their patterns from the plant and placed them elsewhere, The process in getting them back will be a slo-v ove. The company was employing approximately one hundred eighty-‘*ive men prior to the shut-down. It will be a long time before all of thece men are back at work” Mr. Marcks, the organizer for the Internaticnal Moulders Union, maintains stoutly that the local moulders are inadequately paid. That is a question which requires comparison with other plants for de*e“minition. It is ai fact. however, that if seven mculders, who are beginners cr are old men tco slow for average production. are left out, the average wage received by the balance of the moulders is anproximately $540 per day of from six to nine hours. Many of the moulders have been deve'op7d 'n a few months from local men with no exneriencs. Under local living conditions that would seem to be a reisonable wage. During all the difficulty there was no conference b2tween the company and Mr. Marcks or other union repres2ntatives and no talk of terms of settlement. The comvany announced that the employment of its men was at an end and re-employed such men as it saw fit without condition and jn an open, shop. �THE: - RAZZBERRY Fishing Season Opens At midnight, last Thursday, Michigan’s open season for game fish As a practical matter the actual fishing doesn’t begin officially opened. until daylight, but the casting rod addicts began throwing their plugs as soon as the clock struck twelve.

In the general shying away from the work of Rotary programs it is refreshing to feel that some of the fellows are willing to do their bit. Each of these boys has handled programs before but each was willing to ‘repeat. The Ed could not stay to hear George Vail last Tuesday but left it with Red McKnight to write it up for the Razzberry because George always makes good copy. Red flunked, so you don’t get it, But Norm Kohl will be ahead twenty-five cents. x. Bob Sharer will have entire charge of the next issue of the Razzberry. He is a teacher of journalism and knows much better how to get out a paper than the Ed does. One of our ambitions has been to make the Razzberry a composite affair rather than a solo. It cannot be permanently successful as tke We all get tired of hearing but one reflection of but one personality. viewpoint. There must be freshness and change. However, it is much easier to get up each edition alone than to coax The Ed appreciates very much Bob’s willingne:s other fellows to help. to undertake a few issues during the summer months, not only for the relief from work but because it will make the paper so much more attractive. Incidentally, Bob now has his Masters’ degree. He should wrice and talk much better than before. “Sie ROTARY CLUB OF HONOLULU Glenn Cowell, Editor June 1, 1936 The Razzberry Coldwater Rotary Club Coldwater, Michigan Dear Fellow Rotarian: First off, you are tco formal in your communications to be an Editcr of a Rotary publication.

The Centennial Celebration The discussion of the Centennial Celebration two weeks ago was very valuable. Several suggestions were made in the meeting which will be of much value to the committee but the greatest benefit came from suggestions later made by members. No enterprise of that character can be worked out successfully withcut the friction of many minds. The skeleton plan can be determined upon by a few men in a committee meeting.. That plan is not enough, however. The whole program must be enriched by ideas that are the product of general discussion. The Ed had a valuable object lesson along that line during the War. Frequently demands were made- upon. the County War Board which seemed impossible of realization, but it was the war. They did not come in the form cf requests. They were peremptory orders. The County War Board shook its collective neads and said “ impossible”, but always a meeting of the’ Township War Boards of the county was called. Many of the members of those boards were men of a high order of intellect. Some were not as good thinkers.. Such a meeting started at ten o’clock in the morning. The Proposition was presented. Someone made a suggestion. Usually it was very impractical. Others discussed it. After a time another suggestion was made and was discussed. Tris process was continued until four or five in the afternoon. In the meantime the thinking of everyone in the group was advanced by the ideas of the other members. At the close of the meeting it never failed to develop a practical answer to the situation. In every instance the county met the requ‘rements of the general organization. The result could not have been accomplished by the same individuals or twice their number acting Separately. Even though the individuals had been of much _ superior mentality it could not have been done. It was the composite action of forty minds which accomplished the object, The Board of Managers of the celebration is under obligation to Kenny Olmsted for being willing to dedicate a program to the purpose, even though Ken did it only because he failed of another program. x The strike in the Homer Furnaceplant is a regrettable incident from all standpoints. In saying this we do not attempt to pass upon the merits of any question which may be at issue. Out of such a controversy, however, grows suffering for veeryone involved. The men suffer, temporarily at least. Many of them will suffer permanently because it cannot but result in a sharp curtailment of the company’s volume. The plant will suffer and the city will suffer. It is greatly to be hoped that cooler counsels will result in a speedy agreemen t which will m‘nimize the damage as much as possible. = : Welcome To Coldwater June 19-20-21, 1936 �THE ——— RAZZABERRY Rotary In Germany A recent Associated Press dispatch announced that no member of the This is proactive military force in Germany may join a Rotary club. bably purely an internal regulation of the country with regard to its military forces.

The club is planning to fix them up to create a better impression of the club. Belding is also talking about signs. A Suggestion On Ex-Members Every Rotary club has an interest in its ex-members who take up residence in another town where this is a Rotary club. If this interest does not exist, it means that many gocd men are lost to tre movement even though they may still be Retarians at heart and would appreciate an opportunity to continue enjoying the contacts and privileges of Rotary. It is natural that the individual would feel that he should wait until he is appreached. In instances, then, where a Rotarian of good standing leaves the club and takes up rezidence in another town, where there ‘s a Rotary club, it is in the interest of the progress and development of the Rotary movement that you do what you can to establish a contact for him by writing to that club and informing them that Rotarian So-and-So is now a member of their community, and suggesting that: some member call on him and that he be invited to attend a meeting of the club. Many times. of course, his classification will be filled in the town where the Rotarian goes as a new resident. It may nevertheless eventually prove helpful to the club and to the ex-member if you make it possible for him to continue his contact with Rotary. rr es The city’s WPA paving project for this summer is encounter’ng rome obstacles. Under new rulings the city would be required to furnish $5,000 worth of cement for the enterprise in addit:on to the amount offered in the application. This additonal requirement leaves it questionable whether the council will be able to comply. Effort is being made to remove this condition. The decision on the application will not be made until July 1st in any avent.

The Ed was honored by an appointment as Vice Chairman of the Club Publications Assembly at that convention but is unable to accept.

Robert GIRARD Secretaire General. Mr. Hugh W. Clarke, Secretary Coldwater Rotary Club, Coldwater, Mich. June 5, 1936, ‘Dear ‘Hugh: We read excerpts from your “Razzberry” to our club members yesterday and passed it around for them to see. They were. very much taken with it and asked me to inquire if you might spare us about a dozen copies. The bulletin was so newsy and complete and complimentary in its reference to the Muskegon confe-ence that many of the boys would like to have a copy to keep among their souvenirs. We think the report of the conference was excellent. Several said “We did not realize it was so good.” Appreciating your generous cooperation, I am Sincerely and Rotarily yours, CHESTER C. WELLS, President, Muskegon Club. Dear Glenn: I seldom write to “the Editor” but since reading the latest edition of Razzberry I am moved to write you an essay entitled “Give Me Back My Baby”. On page 1 you say, “There has been a net gain of 111 members and a new club at Belding”, etc. Now I have no quarrel with the “gain of 111 members”, but that NEW club at Belding is MY second baby, birth of which was announced at last year’s Conference at Battle Creek, and whose charter night was on June 15 last year, two whole weeks before my successor took office. Greenville was the mama and I was the papa or vice versa or something, and we have the records to prove it. Now you come along and try to Razzberry our baby away from us, and, Glenn, it ain’t fair. I’m sure Ray Dresser ani-ycu together, with all your . legal training can’t prove that Belding is Ray’s baby. Why we can even prove that Lowell (our first baby) gave a nice rattle and scme other baby things to little Belding the night she was born and you should have s:en how tickled she was. Not cnly that, she is having a birthday party next Monday, to celebrate rer 1st anniversary, so Glenn, how could you be so cruel as to claim that Ray is her papa? That is all of the essay, so I will close by saying again, “Please, Glenn, give me back my baby.” Sincerely, BILL OTTO. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The District Conference —, The Coldwater Club was rather conspicuous at the conference for the small delegation it sent. Roy Putnam, W. J. Carlyle and the Ed comprised the delegation of senior Rotarians. Roy’s wife was the only Rotary-Ann and Howard Titus, son of Walt Titus, was our Junior Rotarian. Two of us were obliged to come back to Coldwater Monday night for the budget meeting of the City Council. Muskegon did itself proud in enteria:ning the conference. The usual attendance is between 350 and 500. Over 600 were registered at Muskegon. The local club had given it an unusual amount of time and enthusiasm and had spent at least twice as much money as is ordinarily done in an effort to give everyone a good time. Muskegon is comprised of three units, North Muskegon, Muskegcn Heights and Muskegon proper, ail cf which claim to be jo-ned :n a community which they call Greater Muskegon and which ccmprises about seventy-five thousand geople. Back in the 80’s it was the greatest lumber manufacturing city in the country. When the lumber industry weaned and other lumber towns were going down with it, Muskegon developed as an industrial center and has become one of the important cities of the state. Its Rotary Club is one of the early ones, It has been crganized twenty years and its number is 216. Every detail of the conference was well worked out. Chester Wel:s, president of the club, Ed Bitzer, conference chairman, and their associates had overlooked nothing. When you stepped from the hotel, cars were parked in front of you everywhere, ready to take you anywhere in the city you cared to go. Accommodations on the boat and at the hotel were ample and luxurious. The sessions commenced on time and closed; on time. Programs were good and well attended. From the reports given it appears that the year just closing has been a very successful one in Rotary. One hundred thirty-four new clubs have been organized and a substantial gain in membership realized. Rotary had been growing steadily until 1931, from which time membership declined in the depression until in the last two years it has taken new impetus. In June, 1935, the peak membership of 1931 was agan ‘reached. Since that time it has steadily increased. President Ed Johnson wants to make a record of four thousand clubs before the end of the year. He has nearly fifty yet to go but may succeed. In this district everything has gone well. There has been a net gain of one hundred eleven members and a new club at Belding. Every club has paid everything it owes to Rotary International and is out cf debt. The attendance record has been the highest in years. The Ionia Club, which was formerly not particularly active, has taken on a new lease of life, It has a steady growth from thirty-three members to forty-nine m2mbers. The Belding Club is growing steadily. Its membership has increesed from twenty-one to twenty-nine and it has the enthusiasm of' youth. Dowagiac and Hillsdale were repcrted as having done outstanding work in the youth movement during the year. No opposition deveioped to the election of Frank Barnes of Manistee as District Governor Nominee. His popularity with the members was very much in evidence and there is no doubt his year in Rotary will be a successful one. (Over) �RAZZBERKLY THE The District Conference—cont’d.

Nevertheless, just has been up for discussion in the district conference. on the chance that it wasn’t discussed there, undoubtedly this note will call to notice of the members of your club the resolution which has been put forward, by the Rotary Club of Winnipeg, Canaca, for action at the Atlantic City convention. It seexs to provide for This is the so-called “Outpost Resolution”. almost exactly the sort of arrangement as that advocated in “The Razza fullberry” for making it possible to extend Rotary to towns where fledged Rotary club can not be maintained. The board of directors, in discussing the general idea, felt. that there would be distinct necessity for drawing a very clear line between the Rotary kind of community that would be eligible for an outpost of a a fullclub and the kind of community that would be expected to form Tais line of demarcation ‘s fledged Rotary club if it formed anything. of chacter likely to be determined by the fact that the m‘nimum number In‘temembers allowed in a club applying for membership in Rotary That means that if a community can reasonably be national is fifteen. expected to support a successful Rotary club of fifteen or more members Populati:n authority would not be granted for forming an outcost there. The real criteria are the d versity of classifications in is not a criterion, the community and the characteristics of the lexding men in those classi- fications. It was interesting to note in the editorial in “The Razzverry” the in smal statement that “Rotary has for years been pressing development That may or may not be accurate, towns but with indifferent success”. As you will see from depending on what is understood by “small towns”. the enclosed folder (page 2) 14% per cent of all the Rotary clubs in tne The 1930 census of the U.S. A. shows USCNB are in towns under 2,000. With fewer over 6,000 communities having more than 1,000 jinhab‘tants. than 2,700 Rotary clubs in the U. S. A. we have still a long ways to so before we approach anything like saturation.

M. J. Lucid, of the Grand Rapids Club, presented a novelty designed to create more interest in our magazine “The Rotarian,” and as confession is supposed to be good for the soul, I might as well admit I was quite surprised to learn exactly what this publication really contains.

Walter Wood presented a very interesting discussion’ on “International Service” and while his ideas are fresh in my mind I am going to pass on the following suggestions to all members who want to do something of an international nature... Walter recommends all members entertain foreign students attending nearby schools and universities, I think this is a splendid idea. We have several gcod schools in the immediate vicinity and, no doubt, the officials at any of these institutions would be more than glad to cooperate by placing your inv-tation in the hands of some boy or girl from a foreign land. In this respect I speak somewhat from experience because I had the good fortune to receive several such invitations from kind-hearted Englishmen and Scotchmen while stationed in London and Glasgow after the war. In every case invitations were extended in the proper spirit but I remember one occasion when my host’s curiosity overshadowed his hospitality. Hugh VandeWalker, Past District Governor, Ypsilanti, and Chairman of the Crippled Children’s Commission of the State of Michigan (without pay) ,stressed the necessity for immediate and larger appropriations. from the State Treasurer to. carry on the crippled children’s work in this state. Our club has been relieved of some of its duties in connection with this activity since the organization of the Branch County Health Department.

The adoption of this amendment makes it incumbent upon each club operating under the standard club ccnstitution to confirm from. year <o year on the first day of July the membership of each of its honorary members, whom it wishes to retain in membership. Failure to fo low this procedure would appear to terminate automatically the membership . of an honorary member. : �Pee ea ae eekRY ——__ Introducing Mr. Kim Sigler . Mr. Hugh W. Clarke, Secretary Coldwater Rotary Coldwater, Michigan. My Dear July 20, 1936 Club, Secretary: At the last meeting of the Hastings Rctary Club, by a unanimous vote the members expressed their desire that Mr. Kim Sigler be placed in nomination by the Club for District Governor at the next annual Conference. If you know Mr. Sigler, or if you have ever met him, or heard him talk, you will appreciate that he is a “live wire”, a very public-spirited man and always ready to support worth-while movements. Recognized aS one of the keenest and most successful lawyers in Western Michigan, his practice takes him into many counties throughout the State. When Rotary can secure the services of a man of his character, ab‘lity, sound judgment and wide experience to-head its District activites it is indeed fortunate. Mr. Sigler is a Rotarian at heart. He joined the Hastings Rotary Club March 17th, 1930, and has never missed a meeting since. He has been at the head of about every prominent Committee; was President of our Club for the year ending July 1, 1935, during which time we made a splendid growth; and has been foremost in all of our activities We will appreciate it if you will read this letter before your Club, greatly pleased with any support you may give Mr. Sigler’s candidacy, and very confident that you will have no occasion to regret any assistance you may render. ie Rotarily yours, . HASTINGS ROTARY CLUB By C. W. Wespinter, President. W. R. Cook, Secretary. We have commented before on the prospect that Kim would be a candidate. What the Hastings Club says about his professional ‘standing is not exaggerated. He is an outstanding lawyer, an able man and an. active rotarian. x Help! Help! Says The Razzberry The Ed is grateful to Bob Sharer for assuming responsibility for the last issue of this sheet. It was so successful that we intend to insist on various members editing future editions. In doing so it must be understood that copy should be submitted to Roy Newberry as early as Thursday prior to the date of issue. Bob is willing to undertake another issue. In fact, he says he enjoys it. He will be away for a couple weeks, so. we have postponed his next issue and’ put*Bill Frankhauser in first. After that we have assigned various members to issues up to the close of the year. We expect each man will accept the assignment as he would any other Rotary obligation. If he fails to do so he is expected to contribute $1.00 to Norm Kohl but that does not expiate his sin. It merely keeps him out of purgatory temporarily. Eventually he will fill the same assignment and may spend several dollars trying to avoid it. Following is the schedule: August Editor; Sept. 11. Bill Frankhauser; 22.

Why not establish “Rotary Outposts” in Bronson, Quincy, and Union City? The project will have the backing of Rotary International. It at least mer-ts our interest, study, and attention. THE LONG LAKE CAMP “This job of running a Rotary Club is like that of a quarterback in a football game. I’ll be carrying the ball, but unless everyone of you fellows run interference for me, and play the game, there will be no touchdowns.” With this clear cut challenge, our new president, Roy Putman, began his year of responsibil.ty. Roy is the seventeenth president of the Coldwater Rotary club. President Roy will be thirty-eight years old July 22. He was born in Dariington, Wisconsin, where he attended grade and high schools.

(Inscription the on the statue ef Minuteman at Springfield, New Jersey.) —EDITORIAL— ZBERRY passions are stronger than their religious feelings; there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge; there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.” Law is an ugly thing if one approaches it in the spirit of revolt. It eventually breaks us if we defy it. But if we approach it in the spirit of love and loyalty, and express that love in terms of obedjence,we acquire a vast and transcendent freedom. Real freedom is found at the point where Jaw meets spontaneous love which in turn not oaly fuifills but transfigures the law so that it no longer repels but attracts.

Will you kindly extend to your members the cordial greetings and good wishes of the President and members Kediri. Sincerely of the and Ir. Rotary Club Rotarily yours, L. of Gebuis Secretary. EDUCATION Safety Education courses will be cempulsory in all schools in Michivan next year, unde: a ruling made by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Elliott was urged te make this rulings at a recent meeting cf the Education commi.tee of the State Safety Council. In our own high school this course was taught during the last year, to 400 high school students. While largely an experimental course, it seemed effective. A special bulletin, issued by the state departmnt of Public Instruction will be the main textbook of the 1936-37 course. The Safety Council also suggested that definite means be taken to educate adults in the necessity for safe driving. Luncheon clubs were named as a practical instrument for this type of education. No doubt our own club and our own Rotary District will find a way to aid this problem. Our Police Department in Coldwater is to be commended for its efficiency and its interest in this problem of safety on the streets and highways. Chief of Police Hill has cooperated with the schools and with the local Safety committee in promoting a better attitude toward safety among our younger drivers. . �7-H EB.
