MARC 23,1939 ServiceClubs Some of us who see the membeçrs of Rotary, Optimist, Lions and other service clubs congregating, for- their weekly, ses- sions, may wonder what is, the purpose. Is it just to .spend a pleasant hour at lunch, chatting together of this and that,' or is. it of a more sericus nature, wïithà definite prograrn of achievement toward which they are working with: zeal, intelligence and high principles? Those who do not belong to any 'of these clubs should flrst realize that while each amay ",major'" inr some defli1ite activit 0f world-wide import, ail are vitally concern- ed in community affairs. Ail subjects per- taining to the well-being 'and advancement o! boy and girl movements, handicapped people, underprivileged persons, municipal progress and cultural growth claim their attention and support. It should aiso be known that these clubs. are to be brought together in concerted ac- tion toward peace and progreas, it must corne from the united efforts of individuals striving for the principies for which these clubs stand. Men of influence, local, na- tional and international, aftèr accepting the principles of understanding which the ser vice clubs espouse, can contribute in untold measure to the solution of many of peaters by gIving themn an interest in life beyond- crirninality. -It must be noted. that rnany of these boys core from. homes with not the best. environment, or with parents 'without a proper senise of responsibility for the training of the ebjîdren.

Zeuhedgr fo. arios ig sho'n nianual training departrnents are enlisted in teaching the boys, devoting severai hours a week. to this work. They are tauglit how to use tools and to make toys o! various kinds, baskets and other handicraft. These are sold to visitors, the boy Making the articles receiving one-haif of the sale price , the other haîf being used to purchase addi- ner of ail xnmates. At the expiration o! their ternis the boys are released under supervision, usually of a minister or priest of their acquaintance, to whom they are req uired to report regu- larly. They are also required to attend the church of their choice once a week.. The percentage of repeaters is negligible.
