The Tasks Are Legion

Rotary has always been a
strong supporter of the claims of
youth. What youth needs most
—apart from actual assistance—
is a little of a man’s time, a little
of his individuality and of his
personality.

Up to the present, the great-
est measure of our Rotary as-
sistance to youth has gone to
boys. That is understandable
enough; but, in future, I would
like to see some of it given to
our girls.

We, as Rotarians, can easily
find useful outlets for all the
urge we may have to help in
youth work. The Boy Scout
movement ... the Heritage
movement... the Air Training
Corps, would be all the better
for the enthusiastic backing of
‘our citizens in general and our
Rotarians in particular. The
tasks are legion. Let us go to
them.

The Richest Heritage—

that parents can bequeath to
their children is to teach them
by precept and example from
childhood that they will have to
give four full quarts of honor
and integrity for every one gal-
lon of fame and fortune that
they may hope to receive.

Do Not Forget

We are walking advertise-
ments of what we are. The per-
sonal care we take of our body,
our manner of dress, our car,
numberless other things help to
tell people the kind of person
we Feally are.

The chap who is neat in dress
and who does not allow an ac-
cumulation of details to confuse
and slow him up some day may
become an important leader of
men. The careless person in-
jures more people than himself.

A quiet orderly office gives
us a confidence in a business—
makes us anxious to know its
products or the service that is
performed. It is the same with
a store. When your presence is
noticed immediately and when
every courtesy is shown, you
are put in a cheerful mood and
are willing to buy. That store
you will remember.

It is so much easier to win
than to fail. It is largely an atti-
tude of the mind—an orderly
mind.

This Thing That We Seek

Two hundred and ten thou-
sand of us living under the same
Code of Ethics, with the same
Four Objects in view, speaking
and eating and meeting in as
many different ways as there
are different civilized peoples
on the face of the earth. What
is this thing that we seek, and
why do we pursue it with such
determination week after week
and year after year? It has been
called everything possible and
yet from it all I can think of
nothing simpler than that we,
as free thinking men, are meet-
fog and talking with each other
for the purpose of finding a
simpler and happier way to live
with each other.

—Governor Guy M. Catlin,
Dist. 195

Our Rotary Foundation

A goal of $2,000,000 is the
amount being sought for the Ro-
tary foundation. Its purpose is
to perpetuate Rotary by keep-
ing the organization sound fi-
nancially in times of depression
and expansion. As soon as the
occupied countries are liber-
ated Rotary will take steps
toward the re-establishment and
extension of clubs in these areas.
If you believe in the extension
of Rotary to other countries,
why not make a contribution to
this fund. It may be the means
of bringing to an unfortunate
fellow-man the benefits and
happiness that Rotary brings to
its members. A War Bond pur-
chased now—made out to the
Rotary Foundation — would do
double duty.

What do you say? Most of
us have at least a few exira dol-
lars around that could be used
for this good purpose.

The Silver Lining

Sir Philip Gibbs had this to
say about World War I:

“The fact is, I had a good time
in the war, and I don’t think
there was anything monstrous
about me for liking it. The
things I like about it are things
that peacetime denies us: close
association with large numbers
of my fellow-men in a common
purpose; the chance to put forth
intensive, disinterested effort in
a cause greater than my own
personal fortunes; economic
equality, and freedom from eco-
nomic worries, and adventure.
The fact that I didn’t believe we
were fighting to make the World
Safe for Democracy, or any-
thing else of the sort, didn’t
keep me from enjoying these
features of it.”
