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.

The Ionia Rotogram states that Foss Eldred is a candidate and has the solid backing of the Charlotte Club. It is a sign of health in Rotary both) as Kim Sigler and Foss Eldred not mcre when two such able men (lawyers aspire to leadership in the district.

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. My kindest regards to ye editor, Sincerely, Russe'l V. Williams, Assistant Secretary. Thursday, May 28, 1936 Russell V. Williams, ‘2ctary Secretariat, 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois.

I also feel that the financial obligations for an outpost should be That could safely be left to action of the board of liberalized somewhat. directors, which could also arrange for meetings in small cen‘ers. It is my understanding that in a small outpost club affiliated with a regular club, no charter fee would be required. The matter was not discussed at our District Conference but I hope I am sorry I cannot ke it will be given full discussion at Atlantic City. there to take part in it. Yours truly, W. Glenn Cowell.

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 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.

Midget hockey teams were backed. A gymkhana was staged and the outfits were provided for the boys. (Again assisted by the B. P. O. E.) A community Christmas tree was provided.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Dr. Copeland being one of thosre quiet, well spoken persons whose sincerity holds the attention of all without effort.

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.

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

The committee is making substantial progress but all cf the assistance it can have will help in two ways. First, its thinking will be more mature. Second, the plan evolved will be better received and more actively carried out. The committee appointed by the District Governor had its first meeting at the Hotel Olds, Lansing, Tuesday, October 19th. It spent the entire day in formulating its problem. As a result three proposals obtained much support. Each was referred to a sub-committee to be worked out and submitted to a later meeting of the whole committee, toeether with representatives from each club in the district. This meeting . will decide upon a proposa! and ask the whole district to adopt it and make it the vehicle of a nenewed Rotary service in the district. There were present and taking part in that committee meeting District Governor Kim Sigler and Probate Judge Stuart Clement of Hastings, Past District Governors Frank Barnes of Manistee, Bill Otto of Lansing, and Paul Bond of Charlotte, George Fern, State Director of Vocational Education, representing the State Department of Education, Dr. Howard Y. McClusky the State Hi-Y.

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.

Every little can help, even theugh it be only a little.
