Weekly make-up meetings, National Hotel each Wednesday, 6 P.M.

In July, 1960, five pairs of glasses were authorized by the Eyesight Committee for the needy. In August, 1960, three pairs of glasses were authorized by the Eyesight Committee for the needy. In September, five pairs of glasses were authorized, and five examinations, and glasses if needed, were authorized by the Eyesight Committee to needy persons.

Mrs. Millie Neilsen, who had previously been operating the eyesight screening machine, has decided that she can no longer operate the machine due to other obligations. She has done a wonderful service to the Lions Club and the community. We feel that we can never repay Mrs. Neilsen for the fine job she has done. We did reward her with a personal gift from the Lions Club. A $50.00 gift certificate was awareded at the regular luncheon on September 30th. We do hope that this small gift will show the appreciation that the Lions Club feels toward her selfless effort in this eyesight screening program. We have received several favorable comments from community members of the appreciation that the community has toward this eyesight program.

During the time that Mrs. Neilsen has been operating the eyesight screening machine, she has screened the entire Burley School System two years ago and the 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders of the Burley School System last year. She screened the entire Springdale School two years ago; and she screened the Oakley, Elba, Malta, and Albion schools last year.

Although Mrs. Neilsen will no longer be able to operate the eyesight screening machine, we are still sponsoring the eyesight screening program in the Cassia County schools. Mrs. Varian Worwood has graciously consented to replace Mrs. Neilsen. She now has the machine, and her plans are to begin the screening program in the Cassia County schools as soon as possible. We know that Mrs. Worwood will do a fine job for the Club and that the community will be greatly benefited by her work with the eyesight screening machine.

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

Click here to view A Resolution in Memory of Guy Newman that was inserted at this point in the 1960 newsletter.

Elsewhere in this issue there is reproduction of the Resolution that the club adoped on Oct. 14th in Memory of one of our outstanding Lions, L. Guy Newman. I call your attention to the first paragraph of this resolution. "Whereas: The Burley Lions Club is an organization dedicated to service, so that those who are particularly unfortunate may see and experience a brighter day." In reading lost of Lions International's publications, I have not found the purpose of Lionism expressed more beautifully or more clearly than this. Our thanks to Lions Garth Payne & Dave Jensen for this splndid resolution. Each of us have a full measure of dignity for himself, but greater dignity in his willingness to work unselfishly for others. I believe this is a real good time to renew our pledge to aid our fellow men who are in distress. Let's also renew our pledge, too, to be careful with our criticisms and judgements, but liberal with our praise, and to build rather than tear down.

WELCOME TO BURLEY - LION DISTRICT GOVERNOR STANLEY KEIM
The Burley Lions Club welcomes you here. We know we can show you one of the oustanding clubs in the state of Idaho. While here we hope you will have time to look at some of the service projects this club has recently accomplished. We are always glad to exhibit our club to anyone of Lions International. We certainly hope that you will make yourself at home.

It is better to err on the side of initiative than inactivity.

Every Lions Club board of directors is faced with the problem of administering the proper balance between social and non social activities, and certainly it takes the right balance to keep a club active, alive and ready to be of service to the community. If this were not true, a club could do away with the noon lunch, any entertainment at the meetings, or any social activities and meet only for serious work. I am sure everyone will agree that a Lions Club would not last long under these unbalanced circumstances.

A Lions Club has an obligation to its individual members to provide a spirit of fellowship and a means of getting acquainted with all members. This sets the stage to perform service when the need arises.

I am sure everyone in the Lions Club were impressed at last Fridays meeting with the resolution made by Lion Jack honoring Lion Guy Newman. Lion Guy was a member that enjoyed the balance between social and service work of the Club, and certainly, his record of service in the club speaks for itself as outlined in the resolution. Lion Guy has set a goal for all of us --we must keep the Burley Lions Club in good running order to use as a vehicle if we are to match his outstanding service.

Experience has proved that a good Lions Club must have the proper balance between the club and Lions International if it is to grow and maintain the proper objectives for service. Therefore, it is necessary for club members to attend District and International conventions. Here again there must be the right balance between social and serious activities for a successful convention, year after year.

Your Board of Directors are working to provide the right balance of activities in the Burley Lions Club. Community service is the main goal, with enought other activities to keep us all alert and ready to work together.

The Lions Club was asked to assist in loading and unloading the Bloodmobile on October 13, 1960 for its operation in Burley. With just a few phone calls full crews were obtained to unload at 8:00 A.M. and to re-load at 2:30 P.M.

In addition to assisting in this manner a fair representation of the Burley Lions Club donated blood to replace the amount used by Lion member, Guy Newman, during his recent illness in a Salt Lake City Hospital. This donation also helped Cassia County to again donate more than our quota.

To all who assisted and donated their blood the committee extends our thanks. Again our motto "We Serve" was expressed in action not words. Let us continue to fulfill our Christian duty in aiding our fellow man.
----- J.R. Kircher

District Governor Stanley Keim has notified the Burley Lions Club that his official visitation has been set for October 21st. It is always a pleasure to be host for the District Governor and we sincerely hope that his stay in Burley will be one of the most enjoyable of his visitations during the year.

"What the future has in store for you depends in large measure on what you place in store for the future."

By the time you are reading this the "Post hole committee", headed by Lion Herman Bedke should have all the corner markers in place throughout the Burley project district. To those of us who are working on the project, and to those of you who may have to find your way about, it will be a most welcome addition.

There are times when it is next to impossible to find a certain place from directions given, x many miles south to the big tree then east to a barn with a white corral around it then the second house with petunias on the south side.

Reminds us of the time when we were hunting for a place and asked the youngster by the side of the road where we could locate the party in question. He answered that he did not know. We then asked if there was anyone at home who would know. We ventured a wise crack that he didn't know much, to which he answered, "Maybe not but I'm not lost".

By the way, at Lions luncheon last week we heard Bernell Kennington bragging that their crew set their quota of posts in one and one-half hours. Can anyone beat that?

"I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so his place will be proud of him".

Lion Truman announced the appointment of a commitee to make plans for the first party for the ladies for the season. We will have a full report in our next issue.

Monthly Directors meeting was held on Tuesday October 11th. They claimed they were at it until 1:00AM. I wonder if it was all business or?

Some time ago I was driving a car that was not performing as it should. The motor sounded as though it was in perfect condition but upon driving it on the road it was fighting itself to such an extent that it had no get-up-and-go, no pulling ability, in fact it was even heating up. With all its gleam, sparkle and smooth sound it was useless as transportation.

I reflected how like it was to a human being. It was in perfect condition except that it was out of time. how many times do we let ourselves et "out of time" without knowing it? we may be in perfect condition otherwise but our mind, like a care distributor is "out of time".

If so we are not performing, we are pulling against ourselves and may even get to the point that with the least little pull we literally "Heat up" even as a car will do.

In 1642 a man by the name of Baltasar Gracian wrote a paragraph that may, with careful studying, bring our minds back in time. I quote:

"Know how to take things, never against the grain, even tho they come that way. Everything has its cutting, and its blunt edge; the best and most useful of tools, if seized by the blade, wounds; while, on the contrary, the most destructive if grasped by the hilt, protects: much that has gtiven pain, if it had been taken rightly, would have given pleasure, or pain in everything, and wisdom lies in hitting on the profitable; for one and the same thing has very different faces, as seen in different lights; look upon it in its happiest light and do not get the controls mixed, as to what is good and what is bad: from this it comes that some discover satisfaction in everything, and others only grief: the great defense against the reverses of fortune, and a master rule of life, at all times, and in all circumstances."

Adversity ofttimes comes disguised as a blessing but at the same time it can cause our "timing to slip" and it behoves us to take time out to take whatever steps that may be necessary to "re-time" our mind and get back into operation again. We cannot change the world but we sure can change and get back under control our own electrical system. If your engine starts heating up when you know it should not have done so, you may not be able to have it fixed at a garage but you had best seek to have it fixed in your own way so the road of life may be pleasant motoring.

Lion Fred Sherrod was appointed to the office of Lion Tamer to carry on for Lion Guy Newman who passed away Oct. 7. Lion Fred wears the ten year perfect attendance pin and has been active in many Lion projects during his years in Lionism.

Deputy District Governor, Bob Baker visited the Burley Club on Sept. 30. He stated that Lion Secretary Jerry Anderson is on the way to an unprecedented record. Lion Jerry has consistently mailed his reports on the last Friday (our meeting day) of each month since assuming office. He also had some kind words for the Lioneer which were very much appreciated.

The staff of the Lioneer would like to stop a moment and take our hats off to Lionesses Mildred Jensen, Rachel Gorringe, LaVon Fronk and Elizabeth Bradley for the hours they have taken from their work to cut the ditto stencils for the Lioneer. It takes lots of time and we are very grateful for their help.

Down in Houston, Texas, the police department has issued a leaflet entitled "Twelve Rules for Raising Delinquent Children." Here they are, as printed in the local Chamber of Commerce publication, "Business".

1. Begin with infancy to give the child everything he wants. In this way he will grow up to believe the world owes him a living.

2. When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him think he's cute. It will also encourage him to pick up "cuter" phrases that will blow off the top of your head later.

3. Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21, and then let him "decide for himself."

4. Avoid the use of the word "Wrong." It may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he is being persecuted.

5. Pick up everything he leaves lying around--books, shoes, clothes. Do everything for him so that he will be experienced in throwing all responsibility on others.

6. Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful that the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilized, but don't worry about his mind feasting on garbage.

7. Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children. In this way they will not be too shocked when the home is broken up later.

8. Give the child all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you did?

9. Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. See that every sensual desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration.

10. Take his part against neighbors, teachers, policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.

11. When he gets into real trouble apologize to yourself by saying "I never could do anything with him!"

12. Prepare yourself for a life of grief. You'll surely have it.

    A man accompanying a friend home for dinner noticed that as soon as they entered the door his friend kissed his wife and told her how pretty she looked. After dinner he again kissed her, adding a compliment on the dinner.

    "Do you always do that?" asked the visitor when they were alone.

    "You bet I do," was the answer. "It helps keep our marriage alive."

    The visitor was highly impressed. As he hadn't paid his wife a compliment for years, he decided it might be worth a try.

    That night he swept his wife into his arms and kissed her warmly. "Sweetheart," he said, "you look wonderful tonight. I'm a lucky guy to have such a darling little wife."

    His wife looked at him in amazement, then burst into tears.

    "For Pete's sake," asked the man, "what's the matter?"

    Oh, what a day!" wailed his wife. "First, Tommy sprained his ankle, then the washing machine broke down and flooded the basement, and now you come home dead drunk!"

    ZONE MEETING

    Sept. 21, Nelson Cafe
    --- by Zone Chairman--Fred Allen

    There was 100% attendance of eight clubs. We now have a new club in our zone--Murtaugh.

    This is the first and only service club in Murtaugh and we are in hopes it turns out to be a real success. Lion Deputy District Governor, Bob Baker, had a lot to do with getting this club organized.

    We are in hopes every club will take part in the broom sale for Live, Inc. Some clubs have sold light bulbs, some birthday calendars, but each and every club has some real good project going. Malta had their first rodeo in which they made some $500. It was a huge success, trust the Malta boys, they really have a good time. It is also about time for their wild life feed. Let's all go out and support them.

    Every club seems to be in sound financial condition. I feel that the Burley Club is tops when it comes to projects and getting things done. He who has shovel must dig post holes - now-, so says Herman Bedke.

    Our next zone meeting will be Nov. 14th at Twin Falls. We expect another 100% attendance.

    Zone 1

    PORTRAIT OF A LION-------

    This Lion was born in the northern suburbs of Oakley Dec 12, 1913. Here he attended grade school and graduated from the Oakley High School. After beating the girls off with wet sacks for several years he finally wearied and succumbed to matrimony in May of 1939. He has four girls and one boy of his own, and one boy, now at the "Y" whom he and his wife have raised. He attended school at the Albion Normal, U.S.A.C. at Logan, Univeristy of Nevada, at Reno and graduated from S.I.C.E. at Pocatello with the class of 1960.

    He has worked at potato sorting, mining, plumbers helper, grocery clerk, and has been in his present profession of teaching school for 18 years; 13 in his present position at the Jr. High in Burley.

    His hobbies are fishing, hunting, fishing, silk screen art and fishing. His wife assures us he is very easy to cook for as he likes most all foods--her only complaint is keeping track of him long enough to feed it to him! However she notes he doesn't appear to be suffering from lack of same!

    He has been a member of the Lions club for six years -- was club secretary two years and is presently a member of the Board of Directors. He is also a member of this here publication and FAILED TO GET HIS CORRESPONDENCE IN -- hence -- his own portrait!!
