Be a pal to your boy. an age-old
sdnge but not generally practiced,
was the keynote last night Of the
Lion clubs celebration OF Father
and Son week. Fathers, present
and prospective. along with their
sons and the boys Of friends heard
the advice and npplauded, and the
Observance stirred a feeling Of re-
sponsrbiity and appreciation in
keeping with the purposes OF the
week. now nationally observed.
The main address of the evening
waH delivered by H. C. Chappell,
who spoke from his experience in
raising a son and told of the ideals
he tried to follow.

for the father and son problem" he
said. "is to be a boy yourself. You
win find that It Will do you as much
good as It does the boy"
Entering into the boys play as a
real competitor and not simply for
the purpose OF amusing him was
stressed along with the Importance
of gaining md keeping the lads
confidence to the extent that he
WIN never look upon any friend as
moro of a chum than his father.
Precept and example, play an ALL
important part, It was pointed out
ms the boy Will want to look upon
his father as one to he proud OF
and admired. In this IS found the
fathers help toward higher ideals
and greater success in moulding his
sons ambitions along the same line.
The old theory of what the child
owes his parents was given n knock
out blow by the speaker. who de-
clnred the opposite 10 be true. The
parent owes the child everything,

brought into the world OF his own
volition. The love and respect of
the child can be won by the parent
and the latter's Gee in training
him properly holds its WI reward.
