to do something about problems facing their community and their country Dr Joe told almost Kinsmen at the clubs sone conference in Georgetown last week In Canada in this day in ch more and more people are be dishonest n which politicians are taxing people to death in which we elect a prime minister who want the Job and defeat one who does when we defeat someone who wants to charge IB cents more for a gallon of In favor of someone who wants to charge 17 cents more it time we started care enough to do something now he said Connell a professor at Wilfred Laurier University was guest speaker Kir Intel club conference hosted by the Georgetown Kinsmen He has been awarded the King George medal the Canada medal and the Silver Jubilee medal and has twice been chosen citizen of the year in Kitchener Waterloo Last Wednesday Interclub meeting also included the formation of a Georgetown club for Kinsmen who have reached the age of and are no longer el to be members of the Kinsmen Club With a new K40 club and Hal Rogers founder of the Kinsmen Club and a guest at the meeting being the first member of the club I m forming let me remind you that senior citizens arc our most important resource Dr said What other group has silver on the roof gold in the mouth and gas on its stomach Sometimes when you re In the presence of a living legend tend to forget It he said I d like to pay tribute to your founder and mine founder Hal HAL WAS RIGHT Connell said Mr Rogers inducted him into the Kinsmen Club in and said at that time We re growing Connell surveyed the room and turned to shy to Mr Rogers You were right Dr urged Kinsmen to take an active part In their organization and in the community You Joined Kin hoping you would be a better man and a finer man he said It you want to be part of the in gang that people complain is runn the club then get active and do some work There are three types of people in this world Connell said The one per cent of people who make things happen the 19 per cent who watch happening and the per cent who never know happening You Kin belter make things happen because those who don I make things happen are human garbage Some of you out there died at some died at 31 some died at you Just haven t been buried yet said II gets harder and harder to tell the living from the dead thanks to todays modern deodorants My solid belief is this when somebody says Why doesn somebody do some thing that somebody Is nobody until that somebody Is you he said I believe you and I believe you can be you want to be but wishing t enough said failure to communicate Is one of the biggest problems in Canada today between husband and wife between politic and the people who elected them Communication Is listen thinking and talking he said Your wire would get the shock of her life if you started to live up to those standards MANY CLUBS Today hardly anything Is impossible the service clubs are shrivel and dying because they have added no new life and no new Ideas Dr Connell cautioned against dismissing new ideas without trying them first or putting a new idea Into action with the thought that it won work Being a decent honest man you have to make sure It doesn work so you can say 1 told you so he said Many of these service clubs have become mugwumps Dr said Do you know what a mugwump Is heard me say this once and he Included It in some of his speeches Its a bird that sits on the fence with his mug on one side and his wump on the other He sings on what de and you know what comes out the other side As you were told when they Introduced me I have given talks in different countries Everywhere 1 go people ask me where I m from Dr Connell said When I say I from Canada they ask what part of the United States that in tell them its the most important part and It south of Detroit I Just know they re going to get out their atlas to find out how Canada can be south of Detroit said he often speaks in the province of Quebec and since he is bilingual he makes his speech in fairly reasonable Scottish French I say to them I go to Denmark where they speak seven languages and In Switzerland where they apeak three languages the matter with you you cant speak two languages Are you that dumb And I say that to you here who doplM the French he said Dr Connell said he listened to the Installation of the members of the new George town club and remember his own installation a member of the club I thought to myself Whit could be finer than to be a Kinsman What could be finer than to be What could be finer than to have tomorrow And why are we so miserable when none of us know how long we II have Dr Connell said How dare you live as If you have eternity when you don t have it when you may not have tomorrow So many of us are falling In
