The guest speaker for the meeting was William Haight, London, a candidate for govern') at the convention in Ottawa later this month. He said to go forth, one must first set out. He urged the mem- bers to accept the challenge in order to start up the grade to success. 'To wholly understand this one must 'first take stock of himself and realize what involve- ment is needed," he said. "Once a realistic evaluation has' been accomplished, then the goals can be set. Build them high, for a goal which is easily obtainable can never really be satisfying," he continued. "One of the most satisfying 3 time's in life is when you can look back and reflect on your accomplishments," he added. "Optimism is a way of life," he said, 4, it can be a very stimu- lating period in which we can all take part, but one will reap only the awards, that have been gained through his accomplishments and involvements. Mr. Haight concluded his remarks by giving the Optimist Creed and enlarging on each point. Guests were present from Optimist Clubs in Seaforth, Vanastra, London, Windsor, Scarborough, Kitchener, water- loo, Lambeth, St. Thomas, Mount Forest and Moorefield and local municipal officials and.represen- tatives of local organizations.
