He told how sarne people mis- use their privilége by putting a blank ballot in the box so they would flot have ta ray who they voted for, while others mark an "X" for all candidates so they can truthfully say ta any candi- date afterward, "I voted for yau" Mr. Youngman went back ta his early personal history to give his listeners an idea of the exercising af his democratic pri. vilege ai vating. He was born in London af Irish parents, he sald, and his father dled when he was eight and his mother short- ly aiter. At that age there was anly two alternatives for hlm- ta become a street waii or ta be placed in an orphaviage. He had been placed in an orphanage and while there, at 10 years of age, had been given the oppar- tunity ai coming ta Canada. Learned Two LAssons A Durham County f armer had arranged ta have hlm brought ta Canada, he said, and he had always been grate$ul ta this man who first took a chance on hlm, sight tinseen. This farm- er had taught hlm two basic lessans, he said, ta be industri- ous, and that anything which is worth daing at all is warth do- ing well. He had later gane ta Toronto and enlisted there when World War I brake out. After serving overseas, Mr. Yaungman said, he found himself returning toi Canada again, asking no more than what he had asked when he came aver as a boy-ta hé given a chance, and an even break. He had receivéd this break and Canada héS been good ta him. "When I wanted a home and a chance, Canada neyer faltered, he said, "and when I camne back aiter the war I had na trouble becoming es- tablished." For these reasons, and be- cause he had weighed Canada in the balance for 49 years and neyer found her wanting, Mr. Youngman declared, he was go- ing ta vote on Monday and thus help ta continue the democratic principies ai government which had mnade these things passible. Presentation Made The speaker was thanked for bis excellent address by Rotar- !an jim Hogarth and a presen- tation was made ta him by Pre- sident George Maody.
