NOTE: The two check-lists will be help-
ful in making a survey to determine which
activities should be undertaken in the com-
munity. After an activity has been selected
the secretariat will gladly provide :whatever
detailed information is available or furnish
references as to where the information can be

obtained.

One of the most popular Rotary
activities the world around is that of
aiding crippled children. It is esti-
mated that nearly 2,000 clubs have
interested themselves in the work of
discovering neglected crippled children
and providing for care to cure or im-
prove their condition. The pamphlet
“Crippled Children Work by Rotary
Clubs” (No. 40) contains further in-
formation in regard to this activity.

The term “Rural-Urban Acquaintance
Promotion” has grown up among Ro-
tary clubs to indicate the development
of good feeling between town dwellers
and country dwellers. Through ac-
quaintance come friendship and under-
standing, and through these the recog-
nition and solution of problems of vital
interest to all. This activity seems to
be growing more and more popular
every year. The pamphlet entitled
“Rural-Urban Acquaintance Promo-
tion” (No. 39) contains further in-
formation on this activity.
