YOUTH OF AMERICA
TO FACE BANKRUPTCY
PROBLEM OF EUROPE

I'VE have facing Us and these boys
present, the bankruptcy OF Europe;
nothing can save It." declared Edward
C. Toner. newspaper man OF Ander-
son, in his talk before the Kiwanis
Father and Son banquet Thursday. III
will be the problem of these boys here
today, to face the big trouble In tn"
European countries. Our boys must
be fitted for this responsibility In the
future.
1.-The Bible says: The child shall
lead man. A man seldom goes wrong
If he follows through life with a child
by his side. / take great pride In the
fact that am a patient. When was
a young man, thought that all babies
looked alike, but when you have one
of your own, you realize the JOYS Oh
parenthood and you become anxious
about the future for that child" sail
Mr.. Toner.
81 recall how I used to study how
my acquaintance took care OF their
children. One case was exceptionally
interesting. The son was always with
his father when riding through the
country, and practically wherever. the
father went, the son was along. This
enthood. All this went toward the sue
cessful development of that boy. He
is now a prominent citizen of Indian
apolis.
Men Seek Money
81 find men jumping easily INTO
money making process, and they tend
to continue to accumulate for the
future on the grounds that they think
that it will bring success to their sons.
In some instances the son is success
full, but in many others they are TALL
ures.
1T is my rare privilege to take with
me, my son. / desire his comrade-
ship along with the satisfaction of
parenthood. AS you grow older you
will worry about the future for the
little lad. You go on with one sue
cess following another. You say you
must have insurance, and the thought
comes to you that the lad will grow
I'D. You build for the future sub
stantially, but yet you feel that you
have neglected something, somehow.
But. of all these things we can give
these boys, is health, and provide
them with the things which will pre-
pare them for the heavy tasks of their
future life.
"The boy living after me is my pro
lection into the future. He must De
well equipped. Correct equipment is
the best thing which we can do for
him.
Let us go out into the world s1tua-
tion The confusion of morals is an
aftermath of the world War. Growth
of effort of population to be exTaVa-
gan+ rather than serviceable, is much
in evidence"
Mr. Toner related to the Kiwanians
that when the convention of kiwanls
clubs was held at Anderson recently
the Anderson club members sought 10
entertain the visiting Kiwanians IN
some unique manner. They went 10
Chicago and bought so million Russian
rubles, and distributed them at the
convention. When asked what the
rubles cost, the Anderson men said
only $50.
that we have before us, the problem
of European bankruptcy, which will nc
doubt be a task for the boys OF today
to work with.
america today, is necessarily the
light and leadership of the world. The
real problems of leadership will fall
on these boys. The people are golne
to run this country. Lincoln was rlgn
when he said, government for the PEG
pie, by the people.
Advocates Majority Rule
somebody says, "A few OF us coulC
select better county officers for Office
than the masses could But, the ma
iority must rule These boys mus
lead the majority in future years. :,
Every voice must have the rlgh
