ii Toastmasters Give and Take Lots of Criticism to Become Proficient Public Speakers Br WINSTON H. TAYLOR Staff Writer. The SUiesnaa Nowhere can you be freer to criticize than at a Toastmasters Club free ting. But, the shoe gets on the other foot, too, and nowhere can you set raked over more coals hot ones. Whether the speaker or the toastmaster has a twisted tie or a twisted sentence or twists his notes in his hands, he can expect to have broadsides fired at him as well as pats on the back. It's all designed to make t members comfortable on their feet with their mouths open. The suc cess of the give-and-take is meas ured by the way many former foot-in-mouth bashfuls have as sumed leadership in organizations and by the fact that a Salem en trant has won district champion ships for the past six years and once the speaker went within fractions of the national Toast masters title. "Toastmasters is more than a club it's an education," two neo phytes were reminded Tuesday night at the meeting of Salem Club, some 14 years old and dad dy of other Toastmasters groups in the Salem area, including Capi tol Club. That session in the Spa restau rant (for what's a toastmaster yithout a dinner under his belt?) was reputedly typical of the week ly "bouts" of the organization. Gets Cold Meal For instance, the president, as usual, got too much on a cold meal toward the end of the two hour session. On the hot seat much of the time "for training in par liamentary procedure," the presi dent is changed every six months to avoid over-strain. President Jacob Ferder was the first man called on the meeting's carpet. After three guests were introduced (this also is practice for members), Ferder was repri manded by veteran George Moor head for saying he noted "strange faces" in the crowd, when the guests were not any stranger than the members, said Moorhead. Meal. Business Mix Then he had a battle royal all through salad, soup, rolls, ham and cherry cobbler with the official business of the club, as members made motions, rose to points of order and information, amended, objected, etc. all for practice for him and them. The main business this week was planning for the coming "ladies night," one of two such each year, and a club speech contest. Dr. Ray Pinson provided the ttble topic" which provides near ly every member a chance, and ob ligation, to get on his feet and open his mouth at every meeting. This time it was more exercise in Earliamentary procedure on the ypothetical question of merging with another club but argued so strenuously that it was easy to forget it wasn't regular and legiti mate business. An outsider soon gets lost, but the group has two Roberts, Howard and Roy, who might come up with their own Robert's Rules of Order. Dr. Henry Morris, only charter member of the club still active, served as toastmaster for the scheduled speaking program. On It. in three- to five-minute talks, loward Roberts characterized television as a blessing rather than a curse; Everett Wilcox re minded that "our greatest re source is youth"; Sidney Schlesin ger urged an "Aw, nuts" attitude translated into action to answer Soviet threats; M. O. Buxton told how he lost his shirt in a boyhood skiing attempt. In addition, "icebreaker" speech es about their life stories were given by Wallace Cowen and Jam es Calvert. Critical Notes Through it all, one member for each speaker and one for the en tire program were jotting down notes to criticize the orators to their' faces. Their words were sometimes harsh, sometimes laud- Weed Control Meet to Discuss Tansy Ragwort , Tansy ragwort will come in for Its annual winter attention on Fri day, Dec. 12, at the weed control district meeting.

As general critic, Orval Kennext told what he thought of everybody and how much extra time they consumed. Limited to 30 active members so all will get a frequent chance and plenty of experience, the club has few "old-timers, since most drop out after getting poised and practiced, so someone else can learn how. When the meetings break up, everybody remains friends, ready to come back a week later nd put the shoe on the other foot. Stock Market Decline Small NEW YORK I A moderate decline in the stock market Wednesday wa eased by strength in oils and a wide list of individual issues. The fall uncovered no area of weakness in the list and was con sidered to be a simple corrective reaction of limited nature. Trading ambled tlong at an even pace throughout the day and came to 1,610,000 shares, the same as Tuesday. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks lost 40 cents and stood at $112.10. The decline was the second greatest since the current boom in the bull market started just before the election of Eisenhower. Curb stocks were pretty general ly mixed with trading amounting to 540,000 shares, the same as Tuesday. Corn Rises as Grains Sag CHICAGO UP A sagging grain market found corn showing inde pendent strength on the board of trade Wednesday. While just about everything else declined, corn ran up for gains extending to more than a cent in response to slumping receipts of cash corn, a good demand in the cash market and large grants to foreign countries to buy American corn.
