President, Rotarian Club Lawrence, Kansas Dear Rotarian: I would address you by your first name, if I knew what it was. Will be in Lawrence on February Ath, for a week or ten days and would like to attend your Club. Will you please let me know about your meeting date. I am coming to Lawrence to attend the wedding of my son, who is living there at the present time. He is Chemical Engineer at the Sunflower Ordinance Works. I look forward with pleasure to meeting you and the members of the Club. Rotarily yours, WPK:RP . WALTER P. KOETITZ, Past President, Alameda Rotary Club TO THE PRESIDENTS AND SECRETARIES: Rotary is needed in these times more than ever. We must strengthen the fabric of our clubs, get new members, prepare the way for new clubs. Rotary MUST march on! Our magazine "The Rotarian" (in English) and "Revista Rotaria" (in Spanish) can help you to help Rotary. Here-are a few suggestions: 1. THE MEN IN SERVICE. Army and Navy "huts", recreation rooms, induction and em- barkation centers, all welcome "The Rotarian". So do boys and men from the home town. Does your Club see to it that Rotarians, former Rotarians and their sons in the service receive Rotary's magazine? They like to keep in touch. If there is a camp nearby, you'll probably want to check to see if "The Rotarian" is in the reading room there; if not, perhaps you will wish to provide it for other military reading rooms to be assigned by the magazine staff. 2. SOUTH OF THE BORDER. Last year clubs in the United States and Canada made it possible for "Revista Rotaria", Rotary's Spanish-language "ambassador", to reach some 4,500 influential non-Rotarians and institutions in Latin America--certainly a gesture of goodwill that has been highly appreciated by our neighbors to the south, and one that has given greater impetus to the growth of Rotary there. Here is International Service at work. October 1945 marks the Tenth Anniversary of "Revista Rotaria". Let's help to double its effectiveness this year. 3. NEW MEMBERS. One way to help non-Rotarians understand what Rotary stands for and is doing is to bring "The Rotarian" to their attention. Why not have your club subscribe to "The Rotarian" for a few "key men" in your community who are prospective Rotarians? 4. HONORARY MEMBERS AND FORMER ROTARIANS. Surely, these men should be kept informed of what's doing in Rotary - through "The Rotarian". Honorary members are men of influence and their goodwill counts. Former members, if kept interested, may some day "come back". 5. TOMORROW'S ROTARIANS. High school and college students use "The Rotarian’. "Revista Rotaria" is welcomed in schools where Spanish is taught. And a good many Rotary Clubs are providing "The Rotarian" for schools in neighbor- ing towns where there are no Rotary Clubs. 6. THE PUBLIC. Public libraries, hospitals, Y. M. C. A's, Y. W. C. A's, clubs, and even jails, are glad to receive "The Rotarian" for their reading tables - libraries especially, for articles in your magazine are indexed in "Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature", thus making it uséful in preparing talks and papers. And we shouldn't overlook the library in the neighboring town where there is no Rotary Club. The result might well be the establishment of another Rotary Club. More than 3,000 Rotary Clubs in the United States and Canada are using some 19,000 copies of "The Rotarian" and "Revista Rotaria" in these and other ways. The cost is only one dollar and a half ($1.50) per subscription per year. If your Club does not have this on its present list of activities, may I suggest that you take it up at the next meeting of your Board of Directors? Check the attached list (figures as of July lst), and see where your Club stands. Is your Club a subscriber? If so, you may care to add other libraries, schools, or- ganizations, camps, or individuals. Also, attached is a form for your convenience in sending subscriptions directly to "The Rotarian". 5 pi ele 2 Sta a Homer Governor 123rd DISTRICT ROTARY CLUBS WHICH PROVIDE SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS TO "THE ROTARIAN" OR "REVISTA ROTARIA™ FOR LIBRARIES, SCHOOLS, CLUBS, HOSPITALS, READING ROOMS, MILITARY CAMPS, HONORARY ROTARIANS , NON-ROTARIANS, ETC., AS A CLUB ACTIVITY RR Total * ca i} KANSAS MIMO. 5 6 ek Atchisomse . . « « BOAGWiM 2 6 te Blue Rapids .. . & Gl 2 Bonner Springs. tri nowret Burlingame. . .

Allen Dear Friend Forrest: No, you haven't heard from me before, but any fellow-—Rotarian is my friend, as I consider myself his. Here's what I wanted to say. Over here in Litchfield we have quite a publishing business--a particular kind——-doing work on small "humanized" booklets and ‘house! publications. Lately one of our departments has been really going places, preparing an unusual style of 'magazet' as a remembrance piece, or greeting, for presenting to friends at Christmastime. | One of these, called "The Path Ascends", may be just the sort of thing you would like to give to every member of the Lawrence Rotary Club, as a token of your good wishes for the Holidays. I'd be delighted to have a hand in getting some of these ready for you, either with or without your name imprinted on then. There's a very nice greeting-message in the copy of "The Path Ascends" that I'm enclosing, and the same thing, or a similar greeting, can be placed in your copies. The cost of the booklet is quite reasonable. To cover every man in your club membership of about 60, the amount would be just $9.50 with envelopes included. Add $1 for imprinting. I believe every Lawrence Rotarian will like the booklet, will find it inspiring and helpful, and will appreciate the thought behind it. Your order will come to me for special, prompt attention. Thanks, Forrest, and I hope I can meet you sometime! The House of Sunshine Cordial y F. Henrichs Publications — . . .

Congratulations on having such a wonderful family! You have many reasons to be thankful. Life has been good to you and you have been good to people. It was a great pleasure to have you with us at Rotary, and so thoughtful of Professor Herbert Hungerford in asking you.

Allen University of Kansas Campus Dear Dr. Allen: Three years ago, several of us got together at the request of the Institute for Inter-National Education and Representatives from the United States Bureau of Education, with the idea of financing the University ex- penses of Latin Anerican students who might be selected to attend Kansas University. The District Rotary became very interested, and set aside the sum of $200 for payment of the fees of such a student. This was done for two years, and two Latin American students have been enrolled during that time. Their room and board was provided through the generosity of various fraternities on the campus. It was felt that these students, by their contacts among the students and throughout the state, were very valuable assets. This last ing, I was informed that the District had again set aside the necessary $200 for the Latin American Exchange Student and Mr. Klooz informed me that Mr. Ambrose Johnston of Manhattan was charged with the assignment of this fund. I immediately wrote to lir. Johnston on July 16, asking for information concern- ing the possibility of using this scholarship. I have not received any reply to this letter or to subsequent letters to Mr. Jolmswn. I than telephoned Mr. Johnston at Manhatten in August, and received the reply that it had been difficult for him to get in touch with the other two members of the committee concerned with the assigmoent of this scholarship money. He promised to get some decision on the matter as soon as possible. On September 15 I again wrote to My, Johnston to which letter I received no avknowledgment. It seems to me that there was nothing in my letters which did not warrant the courtesy of a reply. Aside, however, from this somewhat personal consideration, Ifeel it is very regrettable that this money has not been made available in the spirit which originated its appropriation three years ago. The necessity of advancement of good relationships between North and South Americas is evident. to everyone of us and to fail to take advantage of an opportunity for such advancement is to my mind almost reprehensible.
