MOTTO - "Let's go hand in
hand, not one before the,other"
-Majestic Institute - Oct.10/73.
• At the end of the second world
war, a young Canadian soldier
who had entered Europe with the
troops on D-Day was recounting
some of hii experiences. He
mentioned seeing a farm couple
going from the field to their
house at mealtime. The man
strode on ahead carrying his
hoe, over his shoulder. The wife
came behind pushing a wheel-
barrow filled with vegetables.
The young man had been rather
upset at this way of doing things.
This, of course, was before the
days of Women's Lib. This
custom may very well have begun
back in the rough rude Middle
Ages, when the man went ahead to
protect the woman, and their
precious food supply from rob-
bers and thieves who flourished
in those times. The need for
this may well have disappeared
in 1945, but. the custom con-
tinued.
The picture I have given you
is not one any of us would look
upon with favour.
TO GO HAND IN HAND -
what picture does this indicate?
First - It 'indicates an equality
of position. It means one not
having precedence over the other.
It means acknowledging the gifts
and• talents of the other as on a
par with your own, though dif-
ferent. It means recognizing
that we need all kinds of persons
with all kinds of abilities in our
groups and in our communities.
Who is to say who is more valua-
ble - the person who can, capably
preside over our meetings or
the one who bakes that delicious
angel cake for our social events?
Who is more important, the per-
son who takes good care of our
money and finances, or the quiet
unassuming person who can pour
oil on troubled waters and with
a few sane and sensible remarki,
quiet the hot arguments or the
harsh critical words?
when we go hand in hand,
we are recognizing the worth of
our fellow worker, the value of
her contribution and we accord
that person the respect he or she
deserves.
Second - To go hand in hand indi-
cates an equal sharing of the load,
an equal bearing of the burden,
,an equal effort to solve the prob-
cates presenting a. solid front
to the work to be done. Eqnality
of status also means we are
responsible for equality of effort*,
as far as we are capable.
Looking beyond our organiz-
ations such as Institute branches
and church groups, are we
walking hand in hand in our com-
munity matters, or do we sit back
and "let George do it"? Do we
attend meetings, do we share
ideas, do we protest against un-
wise action before it comes to
paSs?
As citizens, we are inclined
to talk loudly and forcefully about
our "rights". Perhaps we need
to think more carefully about our
duties and responsiblities as
citizens.
Democracy can fly out the
window when citizens pay no
heed, to their civic affairs.
Bye, and bye, the y are, at
the mercy of a ictating group,
and from that it is only a step
to a dictating individual.
If in Canada, we should lose
our democratic form of govern-
ment, it will not likely be
because of anything Russia or
China does to us. More likely,
it would come about because of
our own failure to shoulder our
responsibilities.
Rights and responsibilities
are inescapably tied to each
other.
So, let us go forward hand in
hand, with a united front to make
our groups and our communities
the best possible.
Mrs. Dennis was thanked and
presented with a gift.

1,A. good citizen must have inte-
grity, courage, generosity of time
skill And talents, tolerance, in-
dustriousness and responsibility.

lowed by the singing of the Hymn
of All Nations.
