VOCATIONAL SERVICE

The new and difficult problems of a wartime econ-
omy require greater efforts on the part of indi-
vidual Rotarians in the practice of vocational
service. Each Rotary-club should intensify its pro-
gram so as to inspire its members to greater
service.

In January, 1943, the R.I. board of directors
adopted a statement, "Vocational Service, A
Wartime Challenge."" How can the various
points in this statement be made most ef-
tective?

. What are the advantages of having club mem-

bers make reports on how they have overcome
wartime problems between employer and em-
ployes, between buyers and sellers, between
competitors?
