21 Jan. 1944 The News Letter USCNB Supplement No. 14—1943-44 Candidates for Director From Zones in the U.S.A. Section 6 of Article IX of the by- laws of R.I., provides that a club which intends to propose a candi- date for the office of director of R.I. from a zone in the United States at the next ensuing convention must indicate its intention to do so by filing with the secretary of R.I. on or before the ist day of April (but not prior to the publication of the announcement of the nominating committee for president of Rotary International of its. nominee for that office) a resolution of the club adopted at a regular meeting there- of naming the candidate which’ it intends to propose. This item is published as a re- minder to clubs in the U.S.A. which may be intending to propose a can- didate for the office of director in 1944-45. Beginning with the current year, the directors from the five zones in the U.S.A. will each in rotation serve a two year term. The director from Zone 1 serving this year will serve a second year in 1944-45. Therefore nominations for directors will be in order from Zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 for 1944-45, and the director from Zone 2 will serve for the years 1984+ 45 and 1945-46. The board of directors has in- structed the secretary to publish each year in the USCNB supplement to the News Letter the names of those Rotarians who have been noti- fied to him as candidates for nomi- nation for director,’and has specified that the following information be published concerning each candi- date: Name of candidate gs - Name.of club proposing candidate Candidate’s classification (or class of membership if. unclassified) .

Calling — All Service Club Members Over the Protestant Hour of the National Broadcasting Company’s network at 10:00 a.m. E.W.T. on 13th February, 1944, there will be a ser- mon by the Rev. Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, addressed to the members of all service clubs. The Reverend Dr. Sockman is the officiating pastor of the National Radio Pulpit and one of the out- standing pulpit orators of America. The idea of this special sermon to service club members by the Rev. Dr. Sockman originated with the Kiwanis Club of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rotary International is happy to call this broadcast to the attention of Rotary clubs in the _ United States and Canada so that Rotarians who may have an oppor- tunity to listen in on N.B.C. network broadcasts may make arrangements to. hear Dr. Sockman. It Was Too Big for Rotary Yes, the problem of leisure time activities of. the teen-age boys and girls of war-busy Macon, .Georgia, was. too big for the Rotary Club _ or-the Y.M.C.A. or any other civic organization. : However, under the leadership of a Macon Rotarian, all _ of these civic clubs combined in an undertaking which is making a defi- nite contribution to ate Aone of this. problem. - Funds donated by the civic clubs were used to furnish a club room which was donated ‘by the Y.W.C.A. Some 500 high school students have - paid $1.00 for a year’s membership dues, and it is planned that the club will be self-supporting. The success of this first teen-age club has met with the full approval of the city’s board of education, and it is hoped that other similar clubs will be es- tablished in Macon and in several neighborhoods in the county. More About the UNRRA The United Nations Relief and Re- habilitation Administration agree- ment was signed on November 9, 1943. The widespread interest in this agreement would seem to offer suf- ficient justification for a Rotary program which would emphasize the value of the UNRRA and its possi- bilities. - A new Rotary paper offering sug- gestions for such a program has been prepared and may be secured from Rotary International, 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 1, Illinois. In writing, ask for paper No. 722. To Rotarians in the U.S.A.— NOW is the Time On January 18, 1944, the campaign for the Fourth U.S. War Loan for. $14,000,000,000 was inaugurated. It will be raised just as have been the three preceding loans, but in order to do so, it will be necessary for the American people to “dig deep,” keep- . ing in mind that any sacrifice they may have to make to meet their quota, isa privilege and a responsi- bility which is theirs as e iree Amer- icans. We haven’t won the war—yet. Our successes in Guadalcanal, North Af- rica, Sicily and the Gilbert Islands are only the beginning. More men are needed for combat service, and they are being drafted. More equip- ment is required to replace planes that have been shot down, tanks that have been destroyed, ships that have been sunk. The mobilization of trained manpower and the efficient production and prompt delivery of superior fehting equipment cost ay Thousands of our men are Seine killed in action—they won’t come back. Our modern mechanized mon- sters of destruction will be destroyed or become obsolete — they won’t come back. But every dollar invested in United States War Savings Bonds will come back. It will come back to us, because it will help assure our American way of life. The Treasury Department of the U.S. Government calls upon Rotary clubs and Rotarians in the United States to continue to back the at- tack. Our boys fighting in the Pacific have been saying “The Golden Gate in ’°48.” Let’s help change that slogan to “Home Once More in 44.” , Rotary IS International! : The Rotary Club of Smethport, Pennsylvania, has an international service committee composed of mem- bers from Switzerland, Wales, Can- ada, Australia, and England. The committee is promoting the Fourth Object of Rotary by having pro- grams consisting of talks on neigh- boring countries. They have had presentations on Canada and Switz- erland, and are planning similar talks on Mexico, Venezuela, and Australia, to complete the series. This is one very effective way in which Rotary clubs can contribute to a better understanding among the nationals in this hemisphere and throughout the entire world.
