Rotarians Entertain
! District Gov. Gray
Meeting* of Executive Committee
Held Before the Meeting;
New Code of Ethics.
Last Thursday noon Rotarians enjoyed a visit from District Governor
William ("Bill") M. Gray of Chatham, Ontario, Canada.
WILLIAM M. GRAY
Previous to the luncheon "Bill" put
the executive board "on the spot,"
and when he was through, with them
all had a little clearer idea of what
their real duties are.
After the inner man had been satisfied, Governor Gray talked to the
members for about half an hour,
driving home in a nice way how little time members havt in a year to
do all that they should set as a mark,
and stressed the importance of the
four objects of Rotary, which we reprint below, and which replace rthe
former six objects.
ROTARY OBJECTS ?
(1) The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
(2) High ethical standards in
business and professions; the recog-
nition of the worthiness of all useful
occupations; and the dignifying by
each Rotarian of his occupation as
an opportunity to serve society.
(3) The application of the ideal
of service by every Rotarian to his
personal, business and community
life.
(4) The advancement of international understanding, good will, and
peace through a world fellowship of
business and professional men united
in the ideal of service.
Today the members will enjoy an
illustrated account of the recent international convention, held in Mexico, through the courtesy of Rotarian
Edward Staebler of Ann Arbor.
TOWNSEND BROTHERS
MEET ONCE MORE
AFTER 27 YEARS
Dr. H. S. Townsend of 1869 Seneca
street had tlie pleasure of having a
simultaneous visit for the past week
or ten days from his two surviving
brothers, G. C. Townsend of Saline,
Mich., and Dr. C. O. Townsend of
Washington, D. C. This is the first
time in 27 years that the brothers
have been together and that they
have enjoyed the reunion immensely
goes without saying.
G. C. Townsend, who is connected
with the Saline Savings bank, is the
oldest of the brothers. Dr. C. O.
Townsend has long been connected
with the tariff commission of the Agricultural department as a plant
scientist. His specialty is the sugar
beet. The Townsend family consisted of four _rothers but Delos, the
eldest, a half brother, died many
years ago. The family home was at
Saline, Mich.
Dr. H. S. Townsend is a graduate
of the University of Michigan at
Ann Arbor and came to Buffalo in
1889 immediately after receiving his
license to practice and hung out his
shingle on the old hotel that stood
where the Legion building now
stands.
But Dr. Townsend found that he
was too much of a pioneer. The
city had not grown out Seneca street
so far as to insure him a profitable
business, and he shortly afterward
moved into 1177 Seneca street, near
Babcock, and there remained for four
'or five years when he moved to his
present location. While still in school
he met Emily Ten Eyck, a Connecticut girl, who was attending, the TJ.
of M. medical school at the time.
Later -they were married in the
bride's home at Meriden, Conn. Both
Dr. and Mrs. Townsend are well and
favorably known imthis community.
They have one daughter, Gertrude,
who is a director of dramatics> in the
New York public schools.
The South Buffalo News congratulates the Townsend brothers upon
the fact that in spite of the passing
of more than a quarter of a century
they were able to bet together again
if only for a short time and it hopes
that the next reunion will come while
they still are in the same good health
they enjoy today.—South Buffalo/ (N.
Y.) News, Thursday, September 16.

A Young Man's Prayer
God make me a man!
Give me the strength to stand for
right
When other folks have left the fight.
Give me the courage of the man
Who knows that if he wills, he can.
Teach me to see in every face
The good, the kind and not the base.
Make me sincere in word and deed,
Blot out from me all sham and
greed.
Help me to guard my troubled soul
By constant, active self-control..
Clean up my thoughts, my speech,
my play,
And keep me pure from day to day.
O, make of me a'man!"

MORE SCOUTING NEEDED
"We have passed the 50 mark in
number of troops and 1,0.00 mark in
number of scouts, but we have a.
great opportunity for growth this
fall," Scout Executive Walter Mac-
Peek told leaders assembled at the
Council office in Ann Arfcor recently.
"Our major emphasis has been put
on serving the 12 to 16 year old
boys," Mr. MacPeek said, "but we
must not overlook the 9, 10 and 11
year old boys, but must provide the
Cubbing program for them."
He spoke also of the Explorer
program and other senior scouting
available for groups of older boys of
15 years of age and up.
"The ideal situation," he said,
"would be for a church or parent-
teachers' organization or other sponsoring organization to carry through
all three of these programs for
youth. One committee could supervise the group, but each would have
its separate Cubmaster, Scoutmaster
or Explorer Counselor.
Many Coming Events
The next three months will ~be
crowded with Scout activities, conferences, training courses and special events,' according to Fielding H.
Yost, Scout Commissioner.
Scout leaders and committeemen
will gather from all parts* of two
counties Saturday afternoon, September 28, to participate in a Scouters'
assembly—a sort of "kick off" meeting of the new scouting year. Various topics will be discussed and
and industries; 5:00, picnic dinner;
6 to 7:30, barn dance. All the farm
homes will be open to guests from 3
to 4. Preparations are being made
to entertain several hundred guests.
"We want the new, and yet much
of tlie old is necessary and must be
preserved."—Jesse H. Jones.

EVERYTHING IN BUILDING SUPPLIES Rotarians Entertain ! District Gov. Gray Meeting* of Executive Committee Held Before the Meeting; New Code of Ethics. Last Thursday noon Rotarians enjoyed a visit from District Governor William ("Bill") M. Gray of Chatham, Ontario, Canada. WILLIAM M. GRAY Previous to the luncheon "Bill" put the executive board "on the spot" and when he was through, with them all had a little clearer idea of what their real duties are. After the inner man had been satisfied, Governor Gray talked to the members for about half an hour, driving home in a nice way how little time members havt in a year to do all that they should set as a mark, and stressed the importance of the four objects of Rotary, which we reprint below, and which replace rthe former six objects. ROTARY OBJECTS ? (1) The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. (2) High ethical standards in business and professions; the recog- nition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society. (3) The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life. (4) The advancement of international understanding, good will, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service. Today the members will enjoy an illustrated account of the recent international convention, held in Mexico, through the courtesy of Rotarian Edward Staebler of Ann Arbor. TOWNSEND BROTHERS MEET ONCE MORE AFTER 27 YEARS Dr. H. S. Townsend of 1869 Seneca street had tlie pleasure of having a simultaneous visit for the past week or ten days from his two surviving brothers, G. C. Townsend of Saline, Mich., and Dr. C. O. Townsend of Washington, D. C. This is the first time in 27 years that the brothers have been together and that they have enjoyed the reunion immensely goes without saying. G. C. Townsend, who is connected with the Saline Savings bank, is the oldest of the brothers. Dr. C. O. Townsend has long been connected with the tariff commission of the Agricultural department as a plant scientist. His specialty is the sugar beet. The Townsend family consisted of four _rothers but Delos, the eldest, a half brother, died many years ago. The family home was at Saline, Mich. Dr. H. S. Townsend is a graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and came to Buffalo in 1889 immediately after receiving his license to practice and hung out his shingle on the old hotel that stood where the Legion building now stands. But Dr. Townsend found that he was too much of a pioneer. The city had not grown out Seneca street so far as to insure him a profitable business, and he shortly afterward moved into 1177 Seneca street, near Babcock, and there remained for four 'or five years when he moved to his present location. While still in school he met Emily Ten Eyck, a Connecticut girl, who was attending, the TJ. of M. medical school at the time. Later -they were married in the bride's home at Meriden, Conn. Both Dr. and Mrs. Townsend are well and favorably known imthis community. They have one daughter, Gertrude, who is a director of dramatics> in the New York public schools. The South Buffalo News congratulates the Townsend brothers upon the fact that in spite of the passing of more than a quarter of a century they were able to bet together again if only for a short time and it hopes that the next reunion will come while they still are in the same good health they enjoy today.—South Buffalo/ (N. Y.) News, Thursday, September 16. CORRECTION The first and second prizes for miniature gardens at the Flower Show were credited by misprint to Mrs. Fred Aprili.

"Our major emphasis has been put on serving the 12 to 16 year old boys" Mr. MacPeek said, "but we must not overlook the 9, 10 and 11 year old boys, but must provide the Cubbing program for them." He spoke also of the Explorer program and other senior scouting available for groups of older boys of 15 years of age and up. "The ideal situation" he said, "would be for a church or parent- teachers' organization or other sponsoring organization to carry through all three of these programs for youth. One committee could supervise the group, but each would have its separate Cubmaster, Scoutmaster or Explorer Counselor. Many Coming Events The next three months will ~be crowded with Scout activities, conferences, training courses and special events,' according to Fielding H. Yost, Scout Commissioner. Scout leaders and committeemen will gather from all parts* of two counties Saturday afternoon, September 28, to participate in a Scouters' assembly—a sort of "kick off" meeting of the new scouting year. Various topics will be discussed and and industries; 5:00, picnic dinner; 6 to 7:30, barn dance. All the farm homes will be open to guests from 3 to 4. Preparations are being made to entertain several hundred guests. "We want the new, and yet much of tlie old is necessary and must be preserved."—Jesse H. Jones.
