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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
