Leary, president of the Rotary Club of “'estport was the speaker at the noon luncheon of the Kiwanis Club at the Norwalk Coun— try Club yesterday. e used as his subject "Leadership. the Outstand- ing Need of the \Vorld Today." He spoke in port as follows: “The world today is lacking in leadership. especially among its ris- ing generation. \Ve need leaders among our boys. Most of our boys today are simply satisfied with Just a job. It it up to the members of the 'Kiwanie and Rotary Clubs to steer these boys in the right direc~ tion and place them for their best interests. “In 1917 we had very little leader- ship in this country. \thn war broke out. the government found that they had to have 30.000 leaders at. once for its army. They were trained in training camps and after ninety days. we had what was known as the 'Ninety Day Wonders.‘ which were the Second Lieutenants. Today we have our Citizen's Military Train- ing Camps and if the emergency ever arises again. we will have men trained for these positions. "Some boys have more Qcadership ability than others. All boys can‘t be trained to be leaders. but all have some leadership possibilities within thorn. Circumstances and the time and place of birth have a great deal to do with our careers. I admire the greatness attained by Lincoln. He rose above the many obstacles that were in his path. Grant. Lee and Jackson attained greatness be- lcause of the Civil War. Their great- ness was thrust upon them. “Most any boy with the right stuff and a little help may develop into'a. great leader. We should be- gin right in our own homes and take morb interest in our sons. Ev- ery father should be a. pal to his son. Certain boys can't stand re- sponsibility. "Most men are lost when they are with boys. We should try and form a point of contact with them. Many men do deeds for boys by proxy. I know of a. certain man that said he was very much interested in boys, but whenever there was an auto- mobile needed to go any place, he would always say that he was too busy but would give me ten or fif- teen dollars to cover his share of the work. This man would have receiv- ed a great deal more satisfaction out of his work. if he had formed a personal contact with the boys. we can help the boys. In Westport the Rotary Club had a Boy's Week and we .put on something every day omntmrs-r [for the boys. In New Haven the 'Rotary Club is helping certain boys m Bldg. “'an St- pay their way through college. The ' Big Brother movement is another South Km fine thing for boys. We must. be consistent with boys and do things ourselves that we ask them to do." Victrolas BUICK e . . . _Mus1cel Instruments MOTOR CARS Hoovers ‘ , ' Bises and l‘ours 14 Models J H.

The call of the seas is too. sweet to re- sist. Ira W. Pickett, first mate of the four muted schooner Marguer- ite M. Wernyss. found this so. The schooner. at the present time. is docked just above the Washington street drawbridge. and is scheduled to shove off for New York city Sun- 6:) For fifteen years late Fickett has roamed. the wide,se From cabin boy to deck hand; to second mate; first mate. and finally captain. It was after a hard-listed struggle, Pickett gained his mater’s papers which sn- tiiled him “to command his own vcs- sci. Tradition has it thht the real an.- biiion a sailor has in life is to bo- cornc a farmer. And who was Fick- cm. to fight tradition? During the many years he had spent at sea. "mire-u had put aside a penny (r two for a. rainy day. While still _a. master. Fickett deserted the sea. and bought a farm in a small settlement in Maine. - "Now to sit- back and enjoy l'fe‘." thought Captain Fickett as he tilled the land preparatory to :aislag crops. "l‘m done with the sea for good." But he wasn‘t. A month’ passed. sis months. a. year. Mate l-‘lckctt. up with the lei-ks. would sniff the breeze in vain for the finiiliar salt. air. He became homesick. llOllil'Ele for the sea. And. then. one bright morning. Pickett closed up the farm house. pacleed his belongings and started seaward. He wound up at L'oston. Mass. In his years a: sea. Fickott lai‘ bu‘ome an experienced carpenter. ."I will settle in Boaton where 1 car: smell the sea and jump to the (arm for. a -.is’it when I wish." thought Fick‘tt to himself. And settle he did for a time. He readily obtained work on the shore front of the Beaniown as a carpen- ter. And he was happicr than on the farm. 0.» day. a. year or so ago. the schooner Marguerite M. \chyss. sailed gracefully into the lioston llui'bor. In charge of the schooner was Captain Kenneth Nash. a hearty follower of the sea and an old-time friend of l-‘lckctt. The two met. Captain Nash was surprised and astonished at seeing Rains-NR _ F0 SAILOR i his friend on shore. "‘W’hat Are you doing here ?" tie-l mended Captain Nash. Fickelt told his friend of his deser-v tion of tho_sea and his farming pro-l PORT HERE: "Come onlboard tonight." ld‘eciar- ed Captain Nash after thymronies had been yarning for an hour or more. _ _* - Fickett accepted the ' invitation. What's more. he stayed aboard. The next morning he sent ashore for his clothes. He had been persuaded by Captain Nash to become first mate of the schooner. Onge more the see. had claimed its own. "But'don't you find life on a schooner monotonous?" Mate 15‘ch ett was asked. "No. I don't." heplied be. "Some people do. -But I am usedto it." At the time the Sentinel reporter was on board the schooner. Captain Nash was in Boston on business and Pickett was in charge. “I'm afraid though. the day of the schooner is pretty nearly over." went on Flckett. "A few years more the people of Norwalk will miss the sight of the schooners with all sails set plying to and fro upon Long Island Sound. Steam has come into its mm and it is getting more and more difficult to obtain cargos for sailing vessels. It is. of course. cheaper to ship by schooner. but steam is faster and where we make one trip, a freight steamer can make two." ‘ "But. what will happen to the sailors who have been manning the schooners ?" Flckstt was asked. “Most of them‘ will go over to steam vessels. In fact. many today sail on a sailing vessel on one cruise and a. steamer the next. I. myself. have sailed on several steamers." Recent-cling the storms of last winter in which several sailing ves- sels lost masts and sails along the east coast. the reporter asked li'lck- ett if he had a similar experience.. "Nope." came back a. reply. “Two or three times we had to run before the storms, but didn't have any trouble." The schooner. itself. is a graceful vessel with its four masts sticking up some 150 feet into the air. \Vfih sails full set. the schooner. according to l-‘ickott. made: the run from North Carolina to the Norwalk harbor in seven days with a load of 600.000 fort. of lumber for the Hatch and Bailey Lumber company. (in Sun- day the schooner will proceed to Now York to load coal for Maine. At Booth‘s harbor in Maine. ‘ihe schboner will ‘go into drydock for rccorking and a painting. l‘residcnt Arthur C.
