Subjeci ai Challenging Address By Ken Partridge, District Governor Addressing the luncheon meet- ing of the Bowmanville Rotary Club held in the Balmoral Hotel, Friday, District Governor Ken Partridge said, "Rotary is a state of mind" anti not, as many would ..elieve, a Itincheon club or an ý'%L<itirely charitable organization. ',Rotary, through friendliness, aims ta be serviceable, according ta Mr. Partridge. Introduced by President Dave Higgon as a law.eer who practices in bath Brampton and Port Credit, the speaker titled his brief, but inspiring talk, "The Signifi- cance of Rotary." Although the majarity of Ro- tarians are leaders in the cam- munity, same are plodders. Some have university degrees and white collar jobs, while others wear na collar ta work and are unable ta boast a university education. Rotary is not interested in a mnan's education or manner of dress, nor is it interested in race, better because he lives there? Is be a credit rather than a debit ta the tawn in which he lives?" First Rotary Club In 1905, the first Rotary Club was founded on a spirit of fel- lowship in Chicago, Mr. Partridge tohd Rotarians, but the founders discovered that more was needed if the club's existence was ta be justified. Therefore, service be- came the fundamental principhe of Rotary, and fellowship is con- sidered the justifiable end of service. Enlarging upon Rotary fellow- ship, the speaker said fellowship must came from within, and that handshakes and genial conversa- tion are only outxvard signs of inward faith. In the daily chore of earning a living, men look upan one another in a business- like manner. In Rotary, they see each other as men. The outcome of such fellowship gives Rotary enough power ta turn a community upside dawn, or keep it straight, the speaker said. Rotary guarantees the right of each child ta piay, and in many cases, the service club ensures that a child reccives an educa- tion. The District Gavernor liken cd Rotary ta an unsung hero. and ta illustrate his point Mr. Part- ridge brought back ta mind the miemarable Grey Cup Final of 1947 when the talented toe of Joe "King" Krol saved the day for the Argos in the final seconds of the classie east-west playoff. In the d ving seconds of the game, Winnipeg Blue Bombers attempted a third down plunge. The score was tied and the western club deep in their own territory when the play was pulled.

Two basebali events of ma- jor rural importance takes place this week. On Thurs- day championship contend- ers for the Northern section of Durham's rural basebal league, Blackstock and Beth- any, will play the final at Janetville at 5:30. The win- ners of that game will meet either Port Hope or Orono from the south end of the county who will meet in their final game at Newcastle on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Don't Be Confused With the "Still"" Smnall Gremlin as Quoted If you can believe aIl you read in The Statesman the mystex-y may be solved how the people of Orono raised, witb such appar- ent ease, the nearly $72,000 ta build the new United Church in that enterprising and thriftv com- munity. In last week's issue of this paper a photo appeared show- ing two of the stalwarts of the church holding collection plates piled up with folding money taken up at the opening services. In the write-up this phrase appeared "the congregational stili had $8,- 000 more ta raise before the new church would be paid for." That's a pretty strong statement ta make in what has always been considered a temperance village. Surelv it must have been one of those typographical errors and should have read "the congrega- tion stili had $8,000 more ta raise, etc." In anv event we'll not blame Bihl iddell or Bud Rolpb for this mistake and hope it will not interfere with the church reaching its objective. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bate and Marjorie motored ta Ottawa and Richford, Vermont, for their va- cation. Maritime Visitor Wins Oshawa Shrine Club Car Draw The luck of the Irish is stili ex- tant if the resuit of the Oshawa Shrine Club car draw, made in the Royal Theatre, Bowmanville, Wednesday evening, Sept. 12, is significant. Ella P. Burke, 16 Woodhill St., Halifax, N.S.. is the winner of the 1951 Chevrolet De- Luxe Sedan. And the story behind the win is interesting, if flot a manifesta- tion of Irish luck. Mrs. Burke, who was holidaying in this dist- rict, bought lucky ticket No. 1231 from the clerk at the Home Dairy. Oshawa. Unknowingly, the clerk charged Mrs. Burke 25c for the $2.00 ticket, and when the error was discovered, Dairy Man- ager Bill Duncan made up the difference, $ 1.75, fromn his own pocket. That's where the luck of the Irish cornes in. Mrs. Burke, who was advised of her good fortune by O. A. Robson in a tclegram, paid 25 cents for a brand new 1951 Chevrolet. The draw was made at 9 p.m., between pictures at the Royal Theatre, and a local woman, Mrs. 'lihyllis Witherspoon, drew Mrs. 3urke's name from the drumo. )nly 2,000 tickets were sold on he car. W. J.

Kinsmen Club Officers Installed By Pasi District Gavernar NcLean In an impressive ceremony punctuated with occasional hum- or, Past District Governor Harry F. McLean inducted the 1951-52 executive of the Bowmanville Kinsmen Club at a regular bi- monthly meeting held in the Balmoral Hotel, Tuesday evening. In the course of a brief preamble to the induction ceremony, Mr. McLean enlarged upon the im- portance of an executive and made mention of several pitfalls ta be avoided. The inducting of- ficer was introduced by President Stan Dunn. In the estimation of Mr. Me- Lean, an executive is essential ta any club in a number of ways. Usually, the executive is laden with chores cancerning petty de-' tail and management, but their great purpose is to co-ordinate the thinking of the club. "Some- times, a member of the executive might think himself a god on a tin roof," the speaker said, "and this is not particularly healthy for a club." He advised members to look on the executive as their servants, and urged that the executive make their decisions only after discussion, and then only by majority vote. Finally. he re- commended that the local service club be guided by the tenets of Kinsmanship. Installing the new Kinsmen President, Stan Dunn, Mr. Mc- Lean said, "You stand a verv much honored man in this graup." He observed that with the honor of having the club's confidence went considerable work, respon- sibility and authority. The in- ducting officer charged the newý president with bis many duties. As president, Mr. Dunn is auto- matically a member of District Council and Mr. MeLean stress- ed that it was the president's duty to attend Council meetings and District Conventions. Subsequent to his induction, president Dunn commended past president Jack Lander on ',the terrifie job you and your execu- tive did last year."

With-i senting the past president's pin to Mr. Lander, the new Kinsmen Club president requested the past president ta counsel and as- sist him whenever possible. Bill Tait was inducted into the office of vice-president by the visiting Toronto Kinsman. "Your prime job is ta understudy the president," the speaker said. He also said It was the vice-presi- dent's job to take over the duties of president on any occasion which might arise. Important Office Ray Kowal, the new Kinsmen secretary, was told his job re- quired a great deal of sacrifice. Mr. MeLean also stressed the need for a maximum of ca-opera- tion between the president and secretary. "If you are efficient the Kinsmen Club of Bowman- ville automatically becomes ef- ficient," he told the secretary. Kmn Keith Lathangue was ln-, ducted as registrar and Don Mc-' Gregor as treasurer. While the' registrar is responsible for the authenticity of reports and re- cords of the club, the treasurer was charged with the keeping of, funds and the spending of money on the direction of the executive. The directors of the Kinsmen, Club are officers -you can't find any use for in the by-laws," Mr. McLean told Bert Syer, Ken Nicks and Jake Brown. In a serious vein, however, be said the directors are ta consider them- selves managers and they should add their wcight ta the executive by sound counsel and advice. He cbarged the directors ta attend ail executive and regular meet- ings. Finally, the Bulletin Editor, Howard Sturrock, was inducted. "You're nat a Joe-boy," he said,I "Your job is one of the most im-1 portant in the club." He charqed Mr. Sturrock ta w'rite a newsy bulletin and more important. en- deavour ta make the bulletin impressive.
