At the conclusion of the blessing, President Schaffer made the following request: (5) — 6 Thirty-third Annual Meeting and Banquet. I "Before we take our seats I ask all of you to stand silent for a moment in memory of a knightly Scotch Irishman, Lewis S. Sadler." Toward the close of the dinner, Hon. William I. Schaffer addressed the Society as follows: The President (Honorable William I. Schaffer) : Gentlemen of the Society : —One of the many functions of the President of your Society is to act as toastmaster at its Annual Banquet. The present toastmaster needs no ad- monishing as to what are the functions of a toastmaster. He knows that in your minds you are echoing the thought which was expressed by a caustic old lawyer in the judicial district adjoining the one where I used to practice law, who had an enemy in the town in which he lived. This enemy bought the adjoining property to him, and the morning after the purchase, the caustic old lawyer came out and saw his enemy with work- men engaged in digging a foundation for a house. The enemy turned to the caustic old lawyer and said, "I am thinking about putting a darkey in it," and the caustic old lawyer said, "Anybody but you." (Laughter.) I understand, of course, that that is the mental attitude of diners towards the toast- masters, yet it seems to me that on this the Annual Gathering of our Society it may not be out of place for the President of the Society to call the attention of the membership to why we are here. We are here, if I correctly analyze the reason for our being here, because of a justifiable pride that each and all of us feel, the pride of race. It has been said by some philosopher, speaking on the subject of race, that a race con- sists of men bound by a similar character. Whether that be a correct definition or not, what we all know is that as differ- ent soils produce different vegetation so different soils and climates produce different races of men. We belong to one of the distinctive outstanding, composite personalities known to the world as a race. When you come to scan the map of Western Europe it is a surprising thing as you run your eye up the Atlantic Coast, to see what has been accomplished by the small individual races that dot its shores. Portugal is Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish Society. y not more than half as large as Pennsylvania. Its stock primarily is Basque. It has maintained itself racially intact, and you only have to take up the map of South America to see what a tremendous part that race of men, surrounded on all sides by men of alien blood, have accomplished in the world.
