Community Service

in Egypt

The Rotary Club of Man-
sourah, Egypt, decided it must
be something more than merely
a luncheon club, and concen-
trated on the following commu-
nity work:

a) Friday breakfast and a sub-: #«*

stantial luncheon are given each
week to poor children. Two
members of the club and their
wives are responsible each week
for this work. Other members
frequently assist.

b) The club has provided a
nearby R.A.F. camp with games
such as ping pong, chess, volley-
ball and playing cards. Also
they invite the men into their
homes.

c) On the occasion of a visit
from the Mudir the club re-
_ quested permission to examine
the Mudir’s project for the wel-
fare of the poor. This matter is

now under investigation with a

view to club action.

We Must Win

We must win this war. We
must win it as Rotarians be-
cause this is a war of decency
against everything detestable

and repulsive in the human |

heart. To win this war, we must
win the peace. That peace can
only be won if Rotarians all
over the world will help assert
the creed “Service Above Self.”
If that creed is the ruling
thought when the peace treaty
is signed there will be no more
wars because then, aggression,
selfishness, arrogance and greed
would have been banished, if
“Service Above Self” guides

the hands that sign the peace -

treaty.

Scholarship for Nurses

The Rotary Club of Jackson,
Missouri, reports that it has re-
cently raised $43.75 toward the
community fund being sub-
scribed for a scholarship for
nurses’ training.

Here is a very worthy project
to which our club might give
some thought.

Worth Remembering

One day a rich but miserly
man came to his Pastor. The.
Pastor led him to a window.

“Look out there,” he said,
“and tell me what you see.”

“People ” answered the rich
’
man.

Then the Pastor led him to a

mirror.

“What do you see now?” he
asked.

sy see m self ad answered the
’
man.

Then the Pastor said, “There
is glass in the window and there
is glass in the mirror. But the
glass in the mirror is covered
with a little silver, and no soon-
er is a little silver added than
you cease to see others and see
only yourself.”
