Arbitrating Disputes The work of the American Arbi- tration Association in the voluntary settling of disputes between busi- ness firms has had favorable atten- tion from thoughtful business men for a long time. The procedure by which this asso- ciation assists in settling controver- sies, through the voluntary submis- sion of disputed cases to one or more impartial arbitrators, how- ever, is not so well known. A short playlet, “Mock Arbitration Hearing,” based upon an actual case of international trading, is now available to Rotary clubs and their program and vocational service committees. . This “hearing” presents in a clear and interesting manner the actual methods used in the voluntary arbi- tration of business disputes through the offices of the American Arbitra- tion Association. : It provides splendid and worth- while material for a program on this phase of vocational service. The playlet may be secured without cost by sending your request to Rotary International, 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago 1, Ill., U.S.A. Send Club Bulletins to President Dick Wells President Charlie Wheeler ex- presses his appreciation to all Rotary clubs which have been send- ing him their club bulletins. Be- ginning with the new Rotary year, clubs should change their mailing lists so that their club bulletins will go to the new president of RI, Richard H. Wells, at 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago 1, Ill. President Wheeler is discontinu- ing the special office in the Palace Hotel which he has been maintain- ing. Beginning on 1 July, mail should be addressed to him at 461 Market Street, San Francisco 5, California. In Memoriam We record with regret the passing of the following past international officers of Rotary International: Levi H. Beeler, Grove City, Penna., U.S.A., who served as governor of the old 33rd district in 1933-34; James A. Garrity, Yonkers, N.Y., U.S.A., who served as governor of the old 29th district in 1925-26; John A. Mayhew, Kankakee, Il., U.S.A., who served as governor of the old 40th district in 1936-37; John Scott, Birmingham, England, who served as chairman of District No. 6 in 1931-32 and in 1932-33; Charles L. Wood, Windsor, N. 8., Cana- da, who served as governor of the old 32nd district in 1934-35. It's a Fine Team! From time to time the secre- tary of R.I. receives letters ex- pressing appreciation of the fine service which the secretariat has given in connection with specific requests. Most everyone knows that there are a number of as- sistant secretaries and executive assistants, along with the general manager of the magazine, and the business and advertising manager, and the editor of ‘‘Re- vista Rotaria,’ who form the executive cabinet under the chairmanship of the secretary to carry out the instructions of the board as to the service to be provided. However, assisting these ex- ecutives are several dozen very loyal members of the staff, some of whom have been with the or- ganization for more than 32 years, and to them should go a great deal of the credit for the fine service that has been per- formed. These are difficult days with | considerable turnover in person- nel in all organizations, but with- in the secretariat we have been exceedingly fortunate in keeping that turnover at a relatively low level, although much higher than in normal times for this office. ‘Staff members have remained with the organization because they believe in its ideals. They like the working conditions which have been established under the vocational service program of Rotary International. They are grateful for the opportunity to do their bit, and so, to them—a bouquet for the fine service they have performed. I wish that space permitted the publication of a description of the work of each individual, but that manifestly is not pos- sible in these days of paper con- servation. Out in Bombay, India, Herbert Bryant and three as- sistants have been doing a splen- did job. In Zurich, Switzerland, Esther Achard and Trudi Zim- merman have been carrying on magnificently, amd in London, Fred Hickson and his associates have been doing a wonderful job under the most difficult of cir- cumstances. So here’s to let all of the Ro- tarians of the world know that there is a grand staff working in these four offices, and to it goes the credit for the fine work that the Rotarians of the world have so frequently complimented. ul os Seey= Dre Newly Admitted Clubs For use in extending greetings, we give you the names and addresses of the offi- cers of the clubs recently admitted to membership in Rotary International. Com- munications received at the Secretariat from newly admitted clubs indicate that they greatly appreciate the letters of greetings from the older clubs, even though it may be practically impossible to make direct acknowledgment of the letters.
