The man who loves the landIs sensitive to wrong;His clean and calloused handWill keep a nation strong.

E I G H T S T E P S inIN MAKING AND CARRYING A MOT-I 0N_....

The first thing that most people do in an organizationis to make a motion. If we know how to do this and

a swhat to expect of others while the motion is under’ . W - “consideration, we will be able to help with at Leasto]? of the work of the club to whioh we belong. "1.EMEMBER ALERESSES THE CHAIR. He stands and says:VidTELr President" or "Madam.President," Always use

the correct title for the organization, President,Chairman, Master, Chief.

Q , 2. .{CT'HI‘E CEAIR*RRECOGNIZES HIM. The presiding officer' ' ' says the Speaker‘ 5 name, John or JohnSmith, Mrs=.Green. This gives him permission to speak.

fl Move. , . i3. _;.TRE MEMBER MAms THE MOTION. The member havingTHAT" ‘ ' I “'1 . ,n . I obtained the floorsays, "I move that " .“." Motions should be made in the affirmative-toavoid the confusion that comes from a negativevote on a negative motion. For instance, oneshouldsay, "I movethat the club give a picnic,"

.; not "I move that the club does not give a picnic."-”.;In the latter case those votingfor the motion _

wouldnbe voting against the picnic andthose vet-ling" 0" would be votingfor it.- »

~ The proper form is, "I move that--------- ," not "Imake a motion that," OT’"I“move you.": .‘

5 To make a motion is equivalentto saying, "I:propose that" or "I think we should do so and so.

, It is assumed that the person who makes the motionis in favor of it. soheisnetallowed to speak‘(:3\ 15EcONB\\> against it. However, since discussion may changeKki/ijjfifflff, . onesmind, the maker of a motion may vote against- . ~~-- - - it; a . .

O " i\ {LY u. THE MOTION IS SECONDED. All ordinary motions[:7 . -p must be seconded. This is to prove that at least at:::: .,. . ; , two persons desire to _have the subject discussed.

Ordinarily motions Should be seconded promptly.\~—-4 It is not necessary to be recognized by the chair.0 o In small groups one does not rise or address thchair, but says Simply, "I second the motion.Y In'large meetings it is preper to rise and say, "Mr.3 Chairman, I second the motion."

If there is no second the chairman may say, "Is therea second?" ~- not, "ID I hear a second?", or, "Willsomeone second the motion?" If no one except themaker of the motion thinks the subject should be dis-cussed and there is no second, the chairman says,"The motion cannot be considered," or, "The motion is

‘ - ‘”A lost for want of a second."“THE Mono" Q(\ii;;;;::” <2 5. ewes CHAIR STATES THE MOTION. When the motion has

War on Rate

Rat Tale s— I- 7:

There are probably more rats than people in the United States.Rats cost every American aboutI $20 a .year.on farms there are at least two rats tQ every person.’Rats destroy eaCh year as much food as 200, QOOI farmers can produce.Rats Spread typhus and other serious diseases. ‘.Rats may start costly_fires by chewing on insulated wiresr‘

Let's wage a war on rate. Like the Pied Piper, let' 3 get rid of thesepests that destroy. so much food every year.fiI

HOW can our fi-H club destroy the rats in .Qur neighborhood?

Talk Ltu.2“to everyone. ' It is Iimportant that every family work toget rid of rats., Otherwise they come Iin fr.om a neighboring place.5

Um'g peopleetc do these three things; _'-, l

1. Clear 22; alL pose-ibisnesting places, in barns, baSements,attics, .etc.fl_ ‘ 1

. 2. Kill existing rats withpoison anId traps. Many use red1 , . 'sguil-l fo.rpoison, for it does not endanger household

' pets. Spring traps are effective. Use for bait, bread,grains, cheese, or meat. ' - *

3. Fumigate and burn the dead rats.

Strike at the same time.; The success of the war on rate will dependon everyone destroyingrats at the same time to prevent their moving from onehome to another.

Waging a successful war on rats wiIll help America win an importantvictory in food conservation, as Well as health, on the home front.

THE YEAR IN IRAMA (quiet) Idvide the group into twelve smaller groups even thoughthere may‘be onlyatwo or three in each group. Whisper the name of a differentmonth to each group. Allow 5 minutes for the groups to work out a stunt repre—senting the month. Call on the other groups at random and ask the other groupsto guess 'which month is being pintrayed. ’

IROP THE BELL All players except one are seated in a circle. The one who is "It"carries ahell or tin can with a few stones in it. He chooses a player to followhim around the circle, this player chooses another etc., until the leader dropsthe bell. Then all of them try to get a seat, The one left over picks up the_bell and the game begins again. . %

FOX.AND CHICKEN Ten or more players form a line. One player is a fox; another}-the mother hen;.and the rest, chickens who form a line behind the mother hen. 'Thefox tries to tag the last chicken. The mother hen, with her line of chickens;'tries to protect the last chicken by keeping the-line facing the fox. When thechicken is tagged, he becomes the fox, and the fox becomes the mother hen.

STILL P0NI>AII£EROZEN1 Players scatter in room. One player who is "It" is blind-folded. He is led to the center of the room and turned around once to confuse hissense.of_directton. iHe then says, "Still pond, all frozen," and the other playersmust stand still, after taking only three steps. The blindfolded player then gropesfor the others. When hecatches one, that person becomes "It" and is blindfolded.The play continues. . a .. z w. who. 5.. ., u . .

HfiMAN TIT TAT TOO Nine chairs are placed in three rows of three chairs each. Theplayers are divided into“two teams, on opposite sides of the group of chairs.They tak.eaturns in sending a player out to place himself on a _chair,The objectof the game is to get three players from the same tec.m.in line-—diagonally,u 'horizontally, or vertically. Eachteam tries to block the other's play, of course.There are two ways of taking the place: (1) The better way is to expect each, ,;player as his turn comes along to decide where he Will sit: (2) The second methodis to hang a.captain for each team, who orders-the players where to sit. ,The,second method is better if young children are playing with. older ones. After nineplayers have had a turn they go to the end of their lines and the game is repeated.A variation of this game is to draw the lines on the floor with chalk or to usefour pieces of cord 5 feet long.

THE GAME OF MONTHS (ACTIVE) One of the players is appointed to be Father Time. Heappoints the other months beginning with January and proceeding through the year,giving each player a month. Everyone stands in a circle around FatherTime whothrows a ball toward them.at the same time calling out the namefof some month. Theplayer who has the name of that month must either catch or get possessfbh of theball before Father Time counts to ten otherWTa3he must take Father Times! place.

A clever Father Time can give the mortals palpitation at any time of the game bymerely saying, "Twelve o 'clock" and stopping. If anyone runs for the goal, they areas "dead” as though touched by Father Time. It is only "TWELVE O'CIOCKZMIINIGHT"that is the retiring time.~ '

TIME TO EXCHANGE (mixer) MHave. each person bring a Christmas present they have beenitChing to be rid of. Instruct .them’towrap it several times, putting a number onthe outside of each wrapping. Toward the end of the party, give each person presenta number, then begin the-ordeal'ofedistributing the.gifts. The one whose number ison the outside of each packagszwrll take off that wrapping and pass it on to theperson whose number-is on the next.layer of wrapping. This way no one will be.certain ‘when he.is.really getting:his own gift. The package5 of course, goes towhoever has the innermost number, Thiscan bemore. fun:when thegroup is familiarenough tohave names on thepackages. instead of numbers. “
