THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 50, 1929 S-- WHITBY Representative--JAMES HOLDEN Phone, House 18---0Office ~ a. amn Taylor Statten Gave ' Inspiring Address at Father and Son Event Boys' Work Pioneer Speaker at Banquet in United Church LIFE COMPARED TO STRENUOUS RACK Urges Fathers Not to Train Boys By the Woodshed * Method (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Jan 30.--Comparing life to a strenuous end important relay raze, Taylor Starten, Honorary S: 'retary of the National Boys' Work Board and founder of th: Tuxis aid Trail Ranger Movement, urged buys, to keep in good, training during the "ten age on four-sauare rincivles so that when they arrived at mans slatns they might be swell equipped to play a man's pars, in a splendil address delivered at a well tt 110d father and son brnquet held in the United church last night under the auspices of the Tuxis and Trail Ranger groups. More than 75 boys were pre- sent while the fathers numbered ov- er 50. The ladies. of the church were responsible in providing a sumptuous and delicious banquet, the fathers and sons being seated at three, pret- tily decorated and heavily laden tab- les. Rev. A. L. Richards Rev. A. L. Richards,' the pastor, acted as chairman of the event and introduced Mr. Statten as "The Big Chief." The credit for founding the movement he declared was due to Taylor Statten's vision and he point- ed out that on a recent visit to England, old country ministers had expressed the conviction that Tuxis and Trail Ranger groups could be es- tablished there if a man of the "Big Chief's" calibre could be found. The guest of honor thanked Rev, Mr. Richards for his generous in- troduction and then pointed out that the local pastor was known as one of the leaders in boys' work during his ministry in Toronto, He decided to first address his remarks to the tath- ers. Training of Boys i "There is a better way to train boys than in a woodshed," the speak- er declare... "A boy learns by prac- ticing and he practices that which satisfies him and that which he de- gires," In illustiat"on of this point the na- tionally known boys' worker cited the amusing case of the high school boys who c mtintally obtained poor marks in Latin, Gu this particular Satur lay when the report was received the father deciced that it was tine to take action. Although-it was a fine afternoon and the lad expected to take part 1n a baseball gamg, the fa- ther decided to forego a jaunt tu the golf links and kept his son in the library during the afternoon studying Latin while he remained in the 100m to see that the boy was worsmg. The speaker asked whether the boy would conceive a liking for Latin through this method Theories Brushed Aside Many theories had been brushed aside with regard to child psychology the speaked declared. As a result of close observations in recent years it had been concluded that there were but three primal emotions, love, fear and rage. Through pampering, par- ents might assist in the over-develop- ment of the emotions of fear and 'rage so that the child would become spoiled, selfish, bad tempered and cowardly. It became that way because while at a very tender age it found that whenever it was cross it re- ceived attention from parents or re- latives, It therefor, learned by prac- ticing something which brought sat- isfaction. Punishment alone, could not train boys to practice the things which would prove beneficial to themselves and society, Plea to Sons . In his address to the sons, Mr. Statten sought to inspire them to look ahead with vision, He told his hearers of an incident which occur- red last summer upon meeting a young man at camp in Algonquin Park whom he had known eight years previous in London, This young man had just attain- ed his 21st birthday and told him that in eight years he had achieved most of the things which he had desired to achieve when he was inspired with an illustration of the relay race as presented by the speaker at a Lon- don meeting, The founder of the Tuxis movement made his remarks of special interest due to these il- lustrations and in his vivid account of the relay race he showed how one runner had lost the race for his team because of poor condition. Mr, Stat- ten was convinced that the most im- portant lap in life's relay race was between the ages of 14 to 21 and he urged the sons as Tuxis boys and Trail Rangers to make Jesus their pattern of growth and development during this important habit-forming period, for as Luke had written in the 52nd verse of the second chapter | of his gospel, "Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature.and in favor with God and Man." If boys 'would make this their ideal then they would ar- rive at maturity well equipped to take their part as men, Conserviag Boyhood John McClelland, superintendent of the Sunday school, also spoke last night and mentioned that the Tuxis and Trail Ranger movergent sought to conserve Canada's greatest re- source, its boyhood. He thanked those who were taking active part in the local work as mentors or leaders. Craig Hutchison, a member of the Trail aRnger group, dealt ably with the subject of "What a boy expects from his Dad." According to Craig, Dads must come up to a pretty high standard, be willing to answer all kinds of questions and be pals to their sons, - What Fathers Expect Dr. G. L. MacDougall answered with a brief address on what a dad expects from his boy. The qualifica- tions included comradeship and con- fidence. Dads wished to share in their sons' troubles, thoughts and ideas he stated. Above all dad would wish his_son to play clean. Setting an example in the four-fold life along lines of intellectual, phy- sical, spiritual and social develop- ment was stressed by Steven Bas- com, another Trail aRnger, his sub- ject being "What a Trail Ranger ex- pects from his mentes." Like Craig, Steven indicated that he was a cap- able speaker, In reply to this Mr. Michaud, one of the mentors, spoke on "What a Mentor expects from a Trail Ran- ger." The chief requirements were clean speech, clean sport and clean habits and an earnest desire to live up to the Trail Ranger program. Mr, Hugh Baker, another mentor] conveyed the thanks of the boys and their dads to the ladies for the splen- did repast they had prepared and their generous co-operation, Presentations Made An important feature of last night's banquet was the presentation of crests and badges to 15 Trail Ran- gers. Taylor Statten officiated and pointed out that the badges repre- sented hard and successful work up- on the part of the boys. Those to re- ceive badges were as follows: Ron- ald Dewland, Steve Bascom, Walter Ward, Stanley Jones, Eugene Hunt- ley, Craig Hutchison, Ted Bassett, Albert Jackson, Earl Bryant, Cliff Maundrell, Donald Hodge, Ralph Collins, Bob Matheson, Bill Pepper, and Claude Underwood. The barfquet was concluded with the singing of the National Anthem lead by Rev. R. Rickard, of Picker- ine , Can it be accident when new customers are coming to us every day, almost invariably sent in by others who have learned by actual experience what we have to offer? If you are one who is not satis- fied with the material and service you have received, we would very much like to have you too, come and see us. ; / Increasing business and requests of customers are permitting us to extend the lines we handle and ex- pand our service. We feel sure we can setve and satisfy you in a very practical way.

He clambered in and the mare needed no urg- ing to outdistance the bellowing steer, as sne raced for the open gate drawing the light rig and its two occupan.s.

This previa: ment was avoided when the pur suing creature came in contact with the other cattle and gave up tho chase, Fur.her trouble was encounter- ed when the cattle were brought to the barn but a butcher's axe brought an untimely end to the steer's wild career. NEW INDUSTRIES MAY LOCATE HERE Report That Chamber of Commerce Has Two Good Prospects (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Jan. 30.--Rumors arg busy these days to the effect that the industrial committee of the Chamber of Commerce has suc- ceeded in interesting two estab- lished manufacturing firms with the advantages which might be ob- .ained by locating in Whitby. Lit- tle is divulged concerning the products manufactured by these companies but it is understood that they are industries which possess capital and would not require loans from the municipality. No doubt the firms will take time before they decide to establish a branch in Whitby or any other town and with this in mind the industrial committee would not desire to make any announcement which would encourage undue optimism. The business of a.tracting indus- tries to a community might be compared to fishing. There may be several bites and favorable signs before either an industry or lish is "landed". Whitby offers advantages in rail and water transportation, housing conditions, and public utilities which are certain to make a fav- orable impression upon some in- dustry, some day. It should mot be necessary to offer loans or bon- uses because firms which are seek- ing additional capital of this sort are often umsound financially, and their presence becomes an ulti- mate drawback towards securing betfer industries.

Richards read an instructive paper om "Child Wel- fare," and Miss Helen Johnson, of Ochawa, rendered a pleasing piano solo. The feature of the evening was a book guessing . contest, each member present being dressed to represent a certain well known book or leading character in fic- tion. Miss Helen Johnson won the prize for securing the largest nuw- ber of correct guesses, Mrs. H. Bascom also received a prize for the most original costume which best suggested the book represent- ed.

EDITION OF POEMS NOW AT PEAK OF PRICE RANGE Toronto, Jan. 30.--After reposing for 25 ylears on the shelf of a col- lector's library in Toronto, a first edition of Walt Whitman's poems has shot higher in price in the last six months than International Nickel.

The next day it be- came the property of a New York bookseller for. $90. From that time on the price of the book has soared in a phenominal manner. For six weeks it lav in 2a New York store marked $450. No one scemed interested.

H. Tuck, Opt.D. Paralysis or partial paralysis of a muscle of the eyes will of course present a more fixed condition and one that will require constant care and attention, often rewarded by proper development of the weaker organ. This success is always de- pendent upon care to the physical condition of the patient, some of the cases naturally being slow and some of greater duration but generally much relief may be expected. In children, of course, errors may be detected by the habits formed to gain to them the most natural and comfortable vision, as for ex~ ample, the closing of one eye, ihe inclining and turning of the head, holding the lids close toget':or ~ng frowning in the effort to see, fre- quently a complaint of be.rg wned easily and perhaps a later growing disgust of anything to do witu books or reading.
