t- i tate~xrnrn ""Durham County's Gjreat Family Journal" VOLUME 95 BOWM'ANVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8th, 194.9 6c PER COPY NUMBER 49 Speaker at Fedei ~upper Claim Ini 'Most Effective Ai * Rev. Capt. Norman Rawson, Hamilton, guest speaker ait the annual pot luck supper held in the Newcastle Community Hall, by the Durham County Feder- ation of Agriculture, Tbursday evening, had the large gathering laughîng until tears rolled down many faces and yet providcd some serious thought for Ibose present witb bis words on succcss in life. Just as a doctor migbt sugar-coat bis medicine, CapI. Rawson surrounded tbc serious portions of bis address witb a generous portion of laughing malter so it migbt be more easily dîgestcd and have a more asting * effect. The annual supper was held more as a get-together for the * nembers of the Federatioîî than anything cisc, but included the v resentation of awards to Junior Farmers who won championsbips in the Provincial Judging Con- tests at Guelph this year. The gucst speaker was intro- duced by Norman Down, Eben- eîizer, wbo explained Ibat Caot. Rawson is minister of Ccntenary United Cburch in Hamilton. He said tbc speaker xvas one of tbc best in Ontario and a vcrv good friend of bis and proved bbe lat- t er point by tlling two jokes wliich were not cquite compbi- mentary tb the Captain. Humorous Address CapI. Rawson dîd not sem b t take much offense 10 the remarks, however, as he opened bis ad- dress with tbe words: "I've known Norman Dow'n for a loni If ime and I neyer liked bum better than I do tonight. He did an excellent job with a marveibous UMoving along at a rapid, but wel-timcd pace, be kept the audience laughing for over 15 minutes with bis references to politics, rcligiob, prominent meni- bers of the gathering and just v plain people. He would bave a tfi lauglîing at bis neighbour j4th onie remark, bis neigbbour ~ugbîng aI him xvith the .next and botb of tbem laumhing aI themselvcs in the finale. Ai- Ihough many wcre the butts of bis jokes, thc good nature in then. kept anybody, from taking offense. Materialism Scorned The main points of Capt. Raw- son's address were the ideas that men should spend more ime with their families and in Ibeir homes in order 10 properlY raise their 'ibchîdren and tbat success in life should not be measured in a * material manner, He summed. up these two ideas when be said. "Yoit sbould spend less tume looking afler other people's cbild- ren and more time looking after * vour own. You sbould spend * less lime makîng money and more time making lifc-long fri- ends." Parents' Guidance Needed He felt the cure for many pro- bienis todav, as far as children are concerned. could be found in the home and no other place. The influence of good parents bas a greater effeet on cbildren than any other known agency and the greatest amount of juvenile trouble is expericnced wiith bbc children wbose parents bave the most. materiall « , and give their children evcrything but a par- ent's guidance, be stated. "'Tlere is no cure-no scbool. no club. no teacher, no welfare worker-no cure for iuvenile deinquncy like a good father in the home." he said. He explained that il la gener- ally accepted that n father shall take care of fînancial matters and keep bbc money coming in while bis wifc looks after the children. The wife bas by far the harder job in Ibis case, he stated. and offered proof by way of asking any father present 10 try 10 keep up with a growing son. He did not think il could be easily donc. "Suecess" Can Be False Asking himself if there was any one thing he migbt do if ever he could mnove back in lime and live , his life azain. Capt. Rawson rcmnarked that be would neyer preach the doctrine of suc- cess. This. be felt, was a fabse d,ýoctrine which stated that every man could risc 10 tbc topofo!theF hîeap in life, wbereas tbis is prac- ticaily an impossibility. What is worse is the fact that tbe idea places 100 mucb stress on mater- iab %vealth in life wben such wealh does not count as much as thc wcalth of baviniz Rood fri- ends and being happy. Fricnds sboubd mean every- thiîîg 10 a man, he said. for if a man has $1.000.000 and no fricnds, he is a pauper. Wbereas a man with little money and some truc friends is as happy as if he had the million. A man needs friends in order that he might share with thcmn what he bas. because he can neyer ownl anything until he shares il, be cxplained. *'A miser is possessed by what he bas," said the speaker, but a wisc man cnjoys what he bas by sharing it." True Suce8su His idea o! sueeess was ex- presscd by a statemont he once bad to meraorize while in school.
