5. Appreciation.

We appreciate and congratulate the
presidents and secretaries and all
Rotarians of the district for the
fine work you have done. You have
given lot of time and effort to your
work this year. You feel it has been
worth it. The men all appreciate

the fine leadership you have given.

6. The new Governor, Howard.

Everybody now will rally behind the
new Governor, Howard Quigley. His
home club Olathe is proud of his work
there. He has been putting in his
time earnestly at the International
Assembly at Chicago to get ready to
lead the district for the new year.

7, The District Assembly

will be held at Kansas City on
June 20. The early date is that
it may be more helpful for the
new officers who will lead the
clubs beginning July 1. The
Assembly is a school for the new
presidents and secretaries.

8, The International Convention

convened at Chicago May 18-22. The
governor enjoyed the four days at the
dgewater Beach Hotel. It was a snall
convention in size, but important. The
best address was by the new president
Dick Wells of Idaho. The most ex-
citing debate was the location of a
permanent home for Rotary. The finest
solo was by a Canadian soldier, Charles
Hovey. The biggest contest was the
election of Director of Zone 2. The
best story was (I'll tell you at the
Assembly). The busiest man was
President Charles Wheeler. President
Charlie was very happy in announcing
that this year there had been 1358

new clubs formed in 24 countries.

9. Youth. Service

The most dramatic report of work in
Youth Service was made by Dan Boone of
Memphis. The report of that very
thoroughly organized work of fathers «
and sons will appear in the Rotarian,

10. Enjoyable visits.

This month I have greatly enjoyed
visiting the clubs at Paola, Osawatomie
and Ottawa. Together with Governor
Blect Howard we helped Paola clelbrate
the 12th anniversary of their club.
President Emil has had a fine year with
@ live club. We went with Tommy #vans
to Osawatomie to give him moral support
and heard him give a splendid address
at the Rotary club and we enjoyed the
day with President Max and Doc Speer
and all the Rotarians. Homer and Virgil
went to.0ttawa to hear President Andy
Martin speak on "What we are fighting
for", ‘We congratulate President Gordon
on having such a club to work with.

ll. Charlie Mitchell

We were all shocked to hear of the

sudden death of Charlie Mitchell of

Topeka who was on his wat to Colorado
for the summer. At the Vistrict Con- —
ference at Topeka in May he was one of
the most helpful members. As Past
Governor. of Rotary he was well informed
concerning all its work. He was con-
nected with so many organizations in
Topeka that he will be greatly missed.
He perhaps knew more Rotarians than
any man in the state, and his enthus-
jagm was always. contagious.
