At Camp Deerwoode Second Leadership Conference Of Rotary Club Is Successful By • Merlin E. Clubine (Continued from last week) Thursday morning opened the last day for topic discus sions. Don Dixon of the Rotary Club of Hendersonville discuss ed “Social Responsibility.” His opening remark was that “Growing Up is the most dif ficult period in each person’s whole life”. During adolesence one tries to be an adult, and accomplishes it perhaps half of the time. Gradually the per iods of being grown up in crease until adulthood takes over on a full time basis. During this growing up per iod, assuming it lasts seven years, the world knowledge will When ^ou think of prescrip lions, think of VARNER'S, adv. Jt double. Whether we are in school or out in the business world we must assimilate, at least some of this information and be aware of the balance of it, if we don’t want to fall by the wayside. Education and the accumulating of knoweldge is a life long process, and it must be ever in our thoughts. Life always presents prob lems and particularly while growing up. Each requires a decision about drinking, smok ing, drugs, crime, poverty, hunger, disease, to name but a few. No one can decide for you, although a good friend may draw attention to facts and statistics and stimulate your mental processes. Man can not live alone, as he is too dependent on others.

They are aware of the Youth Corps program, and of course, the Army and the probable date they will be drafted and inducted. The av erage age of those serving in Viet Nam is eighteen and a half years. They have all “grown-up”, particularly those who have been in combat. Everyone felt he had had a treat and a privilege to hear Gordon Sprott, discuss “Chal lenge To Authority”. First he explained what “Challenge To Authority” was. A property own er has a perfect right to post a sign across his lawn “Please Keep Off The Grass.” But hu man nature resents being told what to do and what not to do. Even if obstacles are erected by the sign, they will jump ov er the obstacle or walk around it. They consider it a challenge to their rights, even if they are trespassing. College students feel that time honored rules, regulations and discipline are a challenge to their rights of freedom.. Frequently they in dicate that they should be al lowed to dictate the rules and include rules that would permit selfish pleasures and gratify selfish instincts. They are usual ly devoid of self discipline and resent and revolt against any external discipline. student councils are creat ed to enforce rules; they have little to do with making. Us ually they are more lenient than the College Administra tion or Faculty would be, but the Councils decision is most frequently very effective and accomplishes the desired re sult. Of course if the Stud ents won’t listen to reason, then the Administration must take appropriate action. If rules are not obeyed, anarchy is the result. Frequently a dic tatorship follows and all free doms are lost. Leaders should always chal lenge rules promoted by self ishness. If rights to freedom arc not challenged, those freedoms are soon lost. Some people want every one to believe that being polite and considerate is a weakness and seem to deliberately avoid any semblance of manners, much to the disgust of the vast majority. Mr. Sprott pointed out that most children at an early age learn to “butter up” their par ents and teachers to get what they want. If it works in child hood, why can’t it work when you grow up. An old saying puts it in slightly different terms, “You can catch more flies with By - Staff Writer Situated in the picturesque Sapphire country in the heart cf the Blue Ridge Mountains, Camp Merrie - Woode opened its 48th season this year. The camp is completely secluded in the beautiful rhododendron, hemlock, and hardwood for ests and overlooks the head waters of Lake Fairfield. Fritz Orr, camp director, strives through a well-planned program to fulfill the philoso phy of the camp: the growth of the personality through happi ness, satisfaction, responsibili ty, and living in close com munion with God. The 16 organized activities, with a specialization in trip ping and overnight stays, are designed to meet the girls’ needs and interests. Limited to an enrollment of 180 girls from 9 - 17 years of age and representing 28 states and Puerto Rico this year the camp insures individual at tention. Skills are taught by counselors highly qualified in particular fields. Each camper has the opportunity to choose the activities in which she will participate. Happiness of the individual is the primary concern at Merrie-Woode. Mr. Orr has his son and daughter-in-law assisting him in the Camp’s activities. Having ov er 40 years of camping experi ence, Mr. Orr had a day camp, the Fritz Orr Camp in Atlanta, before coming to Merrie-Woode. This year’s living in the open experience will spot light a special 4-way trip in which girls must show profic iency in riding, swimming, canoeing and hiking before being eligible. Merrie - Woode has access to 40,000 acres of land in addition to the 300 acre camp area. This child’s community provides sufficient rare experiences to fill any camper’s scrapbook. honey than you can with vine gar”. His ^final thought, was that you return to a place you like and similarly you do the same thing over and over again if it pleases you. In short we follow tradition, which re flects the sum total of our ex periences. Sam Padget, president of the Morrow Insurance Agency in Hendersonville, made the topic of “Price Of Leadership” come alive and very meaningful. If when asked to accept some job or responsibility, we first ask ourselves “What’s in it for me?”; then we are revealing selfishness and not leadership. If we ask “what will my friends think?” or “what will it mean to me?”; we can only come to the same conclusion of selfishness. The price of leadership is work, that is continued until the goal is accomplished.
