fee and service"
DIR. Petty, whose brother. Rev. Ray
Petty. was the main speaker at last
years banquet, began his address in
d most amusing strain. but drifted
a little later into serious thought,
which brought home several un-
pleasant truths to both the boys and
their dads. DIR. Petty dwelt upon
the theory that a father will find
what he is looking for in the son
and that a son will find only what he
looks for in the father, and that in
200 many cases the fathers, especial
ly, and the boys, quite often. will
entirely misunderstood n another
because they looked for what was
not desirable in each other. DR..
Petty pointed out that the milk is
usually split before the father real

ished both the boys and their faith
ers to come across" at all times, TO
"play the game fair" and learn to
understand one another before it is

A few words of dismissal by Ad-
rian Lyon were followed by the join
ing in circle of the entire group and
the singing of God Be With You
