ular respect is jealously guarded by the general body of members. The World-Wide Movement Every Rotary club is a member of Rotary International—the world organ- ization which grants it a charter. Thus each club is related not alone to its community, but to the whole world. The Rotary club whose vision is lim- ited to the locality from which it takes its name is only half a Rotary club, if that. And so it is with the individual Rotarian. Rotarians have the right of entree into any Rotary club meeting in _the world and the privilege of acquaint- ance and opportunity of fellowship with every other Rotarian.
