I showed it to some of the boys before Rotary meting and they took it away from me and had Gerry Hesse read it at Rotary meeting Monday. Your President Horn was there and I am swre he felt elated at the many complimentary remarks made in refer~ ence to you fine administration as governor. Thanks again for your nice words and fine cooperation. President. BALDWIN, KANSAS May 6, 1944 DISTRICT NO. 123, OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR HOMER KINGSLEY EBRIGHT Dre Forrest Allen President, Rotary Club Lawrence, Kansas Dear President Phog: I wish to thank you for all that you did in making our District Conference at Topeka so great a success. You handled the Monday evening program in a fine way. I confess I was a little dubious whether - could rise higher after hearing Jeff Williams at the four o'clock hour, but you were wise in having the Kansas City Troubadours. Their singing broke the ice and Tom Collins made a fine speech. Corlett Cotton captured everybody with the way he led the singing. And you proved an expert toastmaster for the occasion. So I feel pretty good about the entire conference. The atmosphere of friendliness was apparant from the first to the last. In these hard days people need to be cheered up and therefore, I think it was a good thing to have both Jeff Williams and Tom Collins. On the whole I think the plan turned out pretty well of having seven different clubs take some responsibility as host clubs, Those! seven host clubs brought 221 Rotarians and Anns, hence I thank you and the Lawrence men for getting behind and pushing the conference to such a successful conclusion.

Shipman Winter, a former Aggie great in the gridiron sport, played three years out there and during the three years he played against Kansas the Aggies never won a game. Now I an not expecting you to tell Ship that I told you this. His father is a former member of the Legislature and has a lot of honors, as well as Ship. _ ‘% the present time Ship is president of the Chamber of Commerce, he is proprietor of the Lawrence Chevrolet Company, and is an active cattle buyer on his own account with Roger “Dode" Williams, the postmaster, another Rotarian in buwrence. Ship is one of the most active of ow Rotarians in business. He has been on the Rotary Board of Directors a number of times. I tried to cal] Ship's home and talk to his wife, Paye. She is a very talented lady, the mother of three or four children, end they are all as good looking as she and Ship are. Mrs. Winter has been very active in all civic duties as well having the activities of the Jimior Red Cross.

Rotarily yours, DISTRICT NO. 123 BALDWIN, KANSAS April 22, 1944 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ; HOMER KINGSLEY EBRIGHT Dr. Forrest Ce Allen President, Rotary Club Lawrence, sansas. Dear Phog: One matter comes to my mind that I think should have some consideration before our Topeka meeting. It is in regard to the matter of the student from Latin Americae In my last Monthly Letter I said that we fell down on this item this year. There seem@ to be no provision for handling that. . What would you think of my appointing a committee of three to look into this and make a report at Topeka. I have appointed a Resolution Committee of which Koy Luke of gunction City is the chairmane You will note in the April Monthly Letter the other members of this committee. I wrote to Roy suggesting that one resolution perlwaps should be presented regarding ‘this matter. As I look at the rules of the Conference, it strikes me that a separate committee might be considering this special item and hand their resolution to the chairman of the resolution committee. I wonder if three presidents of the clubs at Lawrence, Emporia, end MNenhattan would not be the best prepared - consider this and have such a resolution ready. : Your resolution might be simply to approve the plan and authorize that $200 be devoted to this object for next year and that such a committee as the three I have suggested be - guthorized to work with the new governor and handle it. I shall wait for a reply from you before I write to the Manhattan and Emporia presidents. Tell your new president to be sure to plan to be at the breakfast for presidents Monday morning, May 1.
