Dear Fellow Rotarians:
In our Rotary program for Monday noon, which is our

Recognition and Appreciation Day of Rotary and Rotarians, I am
out-lining rather sketchily our procedure. Naturally it must

be elastic to make it informal, and not to expose our purposes

to A. J. and other Rotarians until the significance of the thing
gradually seeps through. \

This is the general procedure, although it is subject to change

by President John. J hive contacted each and every one of you

and have asked that you contact your teammate in this work if a
teammate is necessary. To make the things appear as informal as
possible we thought it would be a good idea to have Ted, as soon

as the meal is under way, arise and after seeking recognition from
Chairman John to start on his story. Frankly, I do not know what
his story is, but I know it will be good. We may want to use
Penny Jones as the butt of the remarks, but eventually it will work
out as orchids to A. J. They will expect this of Ted because in the

‘two previous meetings Ted has done just this thing that we are sug=

gesting nowWe

Then, after the effects of his remarks have ebbed and flowed, Robert

‘“MeNair - and he is on his own to do as he pleases » will perhaps

arise and say something like this, "President Joh, I am not entirely
happy about the way Phog Allen has been conducting the programs this

year. I know that he said Cliff Calvin had tried to get my friend,

W.W. Davis, to speak, and he, Phog Allen, has alibied by saying he

is going to get W. W., but you know, I like speeches with my meal.
Phog waits until everybody is finished before he obtains his speaker.
Now, here is what I would like to have - I'd like to have W. W. Davis
give us a speech with our meal. What do you say?"

And of course President John will perhaps turn to me and I will say,
"Go ahead and have speeches with your meals. It's 0.K. by me. I
just work here you know." And that is the cue for W. W. and he will
have one of those choice tall tales that he always tells which he
swears is absolutely true. oe |
