Around the Rotary World

in Wartime

 

 

Fellowship Thought

Those appearing on our pro-
grams often go to considerable
trouble, often spending several
hours in preparing their ad-
' dress. It only takes you a mo-
ment or two to thank him after
the meeting. This makes the
speaker think that his efforts
have been appreciated, that per-
haps his work has meant some-
thing to you and your club. He
is due that courtesy.

The above paragraph was
taken from THe GATEWaAy GEAR,
publication of the Rotary Club
of Laredo, Texas; but it may do
us no harm to think about this
in our club.

Should We Complain?

Things are getting a bit tough-
er for us, but we should not
complain. In Norway, for in-
stance, they live on gray bread
of mixed flour; poor margarine;
cod’s roe; occasional sardines;
ersatz coffee, or tea substitute,
with saccharine; one-fourth litre
of milk per adult per day so
devoid of fat as to be popularly
called “doubly purified”; salt
fish five or six times a week.
(All fresh fish go to German
troops.)

In a restaurant, to get a boiled
potato, you have to hand in a
raw one of equal size. Lemon-
ade without sugar—made with
crystal lozenges. Some work-
men thought themselves lucky
to have mustard on their bread.

Should we complain?

Adams, N. Y.

As we make strong units
we make strong Rotary.
