As soon as it is definite when I will return to Kansas, I will get in touch with yourimmediately attempt to arrange an engagement. - Don't worry about the convenience.

Globe-Trotting With Rotary Rofary Overseas In addition to having active representatives on all public welfare committees and _ insti- tutions in the city, the Rotary Club of East London, South Africa gives much time to en- tertaining the men in active mil- itary service. During recent years it has been the regular practice for the Rotary Club of Sydney, Australia to entertain the Con- sular Corps at an international luncheon, and on these occasions as many as 35 representatives of other nations have attended. The Rotary Club of Foochow, China, contributed more than $1,400 (Chinese currency) to charity during the year 1940. Each year the Rotarians of New Plymouth, New Zealand conduct special functions in dif- ferent country districts with the object of assisting farmers and building up better understand- ing between town and country. More than 300 children in Wagga Wagga, Australia, have been taught to swim this year, free of charge, as the Rotary club continues its “Learn to Swim” campaign started some years ago. Five-minute talks on persons and places of international im- portance are arranged for regu- lar meetings of the Palmerston North, New Zealand, Rotary Club. The Rotary Club of Colombo, Ceylon recently made plans to establish and operate a camp for 25 poor boys. The local refugee-aid organi- zation of Nice, France, was greatly assisted by the Rotary club in planning a Christmas party for hundreds of refugee children. Rotarians of Goteborg, Swe- den, recently pledged them- selves to contribute 600 crowns ($142) per month for six months for the support of orphans and needy children in Finland and Norway. The Rotary Club of Nairobi, Kenya treatsconvalescent troops to frequent cinema shows. What Has Rotary Done? Rotary has done many things to many men. It has touched the lives of thousands not members of a Rotary club. It has bridged individual differ- ences, local cleavages, national antipathies. It has provided an atmosphere of understanding and good will which has facilitated the handling of different problems, even in the field of interna- tional relations. So well have Rotary’s achievements spoken for it, that in the space of a few short years Rotary clubs have been established in some 5,000 cities and towns in almost every corner of the world. What Can Rotary Do? Rotary is young. It holds great promise for the future. What it can do has no limit less than the capacity of Rotarians of all races and climes to give practical expression to their ideal of thoughtfulness of and helpfulness to others—Service.—Retary Spotlight, Brighton, Mich. “T do not think that good attend- ance alone makes a good Rotarian, but I have never seen a good Ro- tarian who did not have good at- tendance.”—Rotary Felloe, Brooklyn, Noy, 70-41 If you must kick, kick towards the goal.—Bi-City Letter, Sumerville- Trion, Ga. Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.—Disraeli. Meeting in the Mountains At the spring conference of District 115 (part of New Mex- ico and part of Texas) Rotarians of the district were invited to participate in an intercity meet- ing to be held this summer in the Davis Mountains. The meet- ing is being sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Alpine, Fort Stockton, Marfa, Monahans, and Van Horn, Texas. At asimilar meeting last sum- mer, sponsored by the Rotary ~ Clubs of Alpine and Marfa, 250 Rotarians were in attendance. It is a thousand times better to have common sense without educa- tion than to have education without common sense. — Rotary Club of Brockville, Ontario. i ~Giwing Proper Credit Every once in a while we read a lecture on the matter of giving proper credit for stories printed in club publications. Quite natu- rally we begin to worry a bit for fear we have slighted some industrious editor. Now along comes Savannah Rotary, bulletin of the Rotary Club of Savannah, Ga., which expresses a thought that should be. copied by every club publi- cation editor. Following our own advice, we print below this fine thought: If we have ever had anything in - our club publication, original or otherwise, that some other fellow wants to appropriate to his own purposes, he is at liberty to take it, revamp and re-make it, and pass it on to his readers as he may see fit. Any gold coming from the Rotary mine is Rotary gold, and we can’t imagine any Rotary miner is going to have it copyrighted.
