BOWMANVILLE AND DISTRICT Representative--Donald Hendry, 77 Ontario St., Phone 881 BOWMANVILLE-- Husky, home- spun Ed Youngman, well known locally as a speaker and a "Grass Roots" columnist, yesterday told Bowmanville Rotarians why they should vote on August 10. The popular speaker explained ome of his personal philosophies on the privilege of being a Cana- dian ' citizen, and drew widely from his experience as a lad when he was adopted into the home of a Durham farmer. 'That was some 50 years ago," Mr. Youngman told Rotarians. "I had a warm feeling for the man that took me into his home," said the speaker, "and I have a warm feeling for the country that offered me a home." A veteran of the first war, Mr. Youngman told how Canada again offered him a home after he re- turned from service overseas, and how the country gave him a fine place in which to marry and raise his seven fine children. The speaker went on to explain that he felt he owed something to the country that offered him this. He felt he owed it the obligation of a careful and true ballot. "You'll see some ballots with all the can- didates names marked," said Mr. Youngman. "I think they do that because they can walk up to each man when it's all over and say, well, I voted. for you." Speakers Emphasize Voters' Responsibility "It's a terrible thing, but it hap- pens," he continued. "It's almost as bad a turning in a ballot with no name marked at all." Chatting In his popular and easy fashion, . Youngman explained that this particular election posed some sort of a dilemma since he was personally acquainted with all three candidates, admired them, and had enjoyed" their personal friendship for many years. "If one was an outstanding man, and the others were just a pair of poor unmentionables it wouldn't be too difficult, but they're all fine men, and it will be hard to hoose." Summing up his address, the speaker told Rotarians that every man's duty was to vote, to vote carefully, and with understanding of the problems the candidate of their choice would confront if he were elected. . Mr. Youngman was thanked for his timely talk by James Hogarth, and President George Moody, now back at the head of the Rotary table after a vacation during which Past President Garnet Rickard oc- cupied the chair. Rotarians Ab Darch and Ross Stutt celebrated birthdays yester- day; Dave Higgon was awarded his two-year attendance pin, and Garnet. Rickard his one -year pin.
