Paul Harris Film This is an interesting 16mm. tech- nicolor and sound film. The running time is 12 minutes. Favorable com- ments continue to come along. The following are some of the recent ones: Excellent! We used it in connection with the reception of new members. —White Salmon, Wash. A “must” for every Rotary group. —Ruston, La. The fellows enjoyed it and praised it highly. —Belton, Texas Excellent! A real inspiration. —Grinnell, Iowa Believe it will cause us to have a deeper appreciation of Rotary. é —Brooksville, Miss. “It was grand to meet our founder” was the expression of our club members. Everyone enjoyed it. —Hilo, Hawaii Prints of this film are again avail- able to Rotary clubs. The only ex- pense involved is the cost-of mailing: the film to the next club on the schedule. (Due to postal regulations it is difficult to send films across inter- national boundaries, but if a num- ber of requests from Canadian clubs are received, it will be possible to arrange a routing which will keep one or more of the prints within the Canadian boundaries, at a saving of - time and expense.) It is suggested that Rotary clubs in making their requests also indi- cate the date on which they desire to use the film. They All Profit Only a few Rotarians in each club can qualify for Senior Active Membership, but those who can do so should accept this distinctive membership and join the rapidly growing ranks of Rotarians who have created an opportunity for young men to join Rotary. The senior active ~member, the younger Rotarian, who takes his place, and Rotary—all profit when an eligible Rotarian transfers to senior active membership. —Harry E. Hovey, Chairman, R. I. Finance Committee Senior Active Member Mobilizing for Peace If we can mobilize our universities, col- leges and high schools in the interests of war, can we not mobilize some of them in the interests of international coopera- tion and peace? Every university, college and high school in North America and in all countries should teach the science of peace until this unconscionable epi- demic of wars is stamped out as com- pletely as science has stamped out other forms of disease. Paut P. Harris, : President Emeritus, R.I. Many Agencies Cooperate In Great Community Project A great cooperative movement to take care of an anticipated juvenile delinquency problem recently ini- tiated by the Rotary Club of Middle River, Maryland, has resulted in the establishment of a boys’ club in that war impacted area. Only the fine co- operation of government agencies, industry, Salvation Army, service clubs and individuals made it pos- sible. A temporary building used by a contractor was donated through the Federal Works Agency; Glenn L. Martin, airplane manufacturer, donated $1,200 to the Salvation Army to have the building moved to a per- manent location. The Federal Public Housing Authority provided a large plot of ground as well as approxi- mately $2,000 in funds for structural changes and to bring in the water, electricity, sewers, etc. The Salva- tion Army received approximately $12,000 from the Community Chest in this area for remodeling the building and to operate it for a year. The Rotary club made a donation for equipping the games room. A nearby Kiwanis club sponsored the .- library; the American Legion of Middle River together with other service organizations will furnish other equipment and furnishings necessary to complete the interior. Habits and Attitudes In the internal development of our clubs, we are primarily concerned in con- ducting our meetings and in presenting programs which will so effectively inter- pret Rotary as to influence definitely the habits and the attitudes of the Rotarians so that when they are confronted with the various problems of human contacts, the dominating pattern of response will coin- cide with the true philosophy of the great ideals of Rotary. The principles of Rotary can never be- come great ideals until they are instinc- tively the end-products of our natural expression of habits and attitudes. Our avenue of approach to the great ideals is only through developing within the membership of our clubs the highways of habits and of attitudes that will ascend to the practical understanding of the ap-- plication of these great ideals. Actual performance is fundamentally for the growth of individual Rotarians. A thing is never learned until it can be performed. It is essential that each mem- ber participate in the activities of the club or that member cannot possibly grow and develop into a real Rotarian. It follows so logically that the internal improvement in a Rotary club can not possibly be accom- plished until the administration of the club provides a variety of Rotary activities _which enables each Rotarian to partici- pate. e Roy A. Plumb, Past District Governor “Welcome, American!” With the advent of thousands of citizens of the United States to the Canadian Northwest, the Rotary Club of Edmonton, Alta., Canada, conceived the idea of preparing a brief, easily read leaflet that would give the American visitors a better conception of their great neighbor to the north. The leaflet, under the friendly title of “Welcome, Ameri- can!”, was produced by the club’s international service committee and has had a fine reception. It is an excellent example of a Rotary club’s recognition of an opportunity for practical international service. The leaflet gives a lot of information about Canada in very short reading time. The Rotary Club of Edmon- ton will be glad to send one copy with its compliments to any club which would like to have it. Send your request to Secretary Josephus F. Philip, Macdonald Hotel, Edmon- ton, Alta., Canada. Education in the Post-War World In a recent address to the School- masters Club of California, Presi- dent Charles Wheeler gave his views as a businessman on the problems which educators will have to face in the post-war world. In his closing remarks he said that he did not consider it the sole responsibility of schoolmen to find the solution to _ these problems, and continued: As president of one of the larger service club groups, I believe the service clubs can materially assist the schoolmasters in their job. There should be close co- operation between the two. I don't care whether it be Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, or some other group—if there is a service club located in the community, I believe it is important that the school superin- tendent or principal, or both, should be- long to that group—and that he should participate actively in the work of the service club. In this way he is bringing the school into closer contact with the business and professional life of the community and at the same time he has an opportunity to develop a greater community interest in the school and its problems. One of the principal objectives of each service club should be to inspire its members toward a more intelligent interest in school affairs to the end that our school boards will be composed of the best minds in the com- munity. If we can develop a situation in each community whereby the schoolmaster, plus the school board, plus a representa- tive from the service club can sit down’ together at a table for the purpose of discussing school affairs and educational problems, we will have taken a long step toward the solution of the problems with > which we are faced.
