The speaker was Edwin T. Parkin, a past president' of the Rotary Club of Toronto. He was speaking at the club's annual Past Presidents' Day. Honored by the club on this occasion were 25 past presidents and five 'iliated past presidents. Rotarian Parkin. was _intro- duced by Past District Gover- nor E. G. Storie. The apprecia- tion of the members and their guests was voiced by Past Dis- trict Governor S. F. Everson. The meeting was conducted by Past President Walter R. Branch. With him at the head table were Past Presidents S. T. Hopkins, Jack Shephard, J. Lowry, E. G. Storie, Fay Brooks, Dr. C, F. Cannon, To- ronto; S. F. Everson and C. E. McTavish, Toronto. MUST BE LEADERS Speaking on the theme "Lead or Be Left Behind', Rotarian Parkin said that Rotarians must |play the role of leaders in pro- |moting the development of thoughtful men and in the de- velopment of courage to face the conflicts confronting the world. He commented that the -tech- nological age is bringing about the creation of social conditions in which 25 per cent of income- earners have to be subsidized by being given a certain re- spectability through their monthly government cheque. This was a_ situation almost exactly opposite to that of the industrial revolution. People Rotarians Urged To Be Leaders without skills have no means of attaining a place in the econ- omy The situation is arising in the United States, and may spread to Canada, that the desire of people to have things for the sole vurpose of having them is declining. This is also the age, Mr. Parkin added in which the arti- san with three days off is try- ing to figure ways and means of using his leisure time. The an- swer, he said, seems to be that too much leisure time is being made available. NEW AVENUES Rotary clubs across the coun- try were finding difficulty in finding opportunities for philan- thropic projects due to the fact that the welfare state is looking after so many things that were once looked after by service; clubs in the past. He suggested Rotary should explore new ave- nues for service. "There is a prime need today for dreamers," Rotarian Parkin asserted. "There is a need for men whs are not content with things as they are and want to improve the world, I feel society will be different and for that reason 1.en should not be afraid to be innovators. Rotary should inculcate in our youth the idea of being men of vision. Negative where." man can work wonders, hk said tol is a sacred cow today and there is too much petty tolerance.
