Here are some of the charac- teristic points that have been cited as being desirable to find in the candidate for club presi- dent: aad Accepted leadership. - Ability to delegate duties. Good personality. ae Time to devote to the office. Initiative. s A knowledge of Rotary. i EM a Practical experience on some club committee. 8. Ability to express nimedl orally. 9. A sense of humor. 10. Cosmopolitan in thought. We can “make” or “break” our club by electing or not electing the right man for next year. Rather “Bookish” But Clever Not long ago we received a copy of Rigi, club bulletin from Grand Island, Nebraska. The club program announced there- in was entitled “Victory Book Day.” The English teacher at the high school had been in- vited to present a book review. Every Rotarian was asked to bring to the meeting at least one book for the men in the armed forces. Of course, the club bulletin editor had to do his part too. So, at the top of the page, the in- dividual letters of the name of the bulletin appeared as stacks of books. We thought it a rather clever idea. 30-42 Any Old Keys Today? Have you a useless key in your pocket? That’s what Ro- tarians in Moundsville, West Virginia, are asking the citizens of their community. And the first Collection netted some 1,200 old keys—for Uncle Sam’s pro- duction forces! And they didn’t stop with that, but placed con- tainers throughout the city with an appeal to the public to fill them with keys. | - The local Lions club. followed suit and became “specialists” at collecting, old. tooth-paste and, shaving cream tubes. . What’s the Score? There are many plans used by Rotary clubs for purchasing defense stamps. and bonds. A novel idea is the one used by the’ Rotary Club of Central City, Kentucky.. All club members buy ‘defénse’ stamps according to the number of enemy naval - units destroyed. A plane calls . : for 1c, a merchant ship, 5c, a troop transport, 10c, a subma- rine or destroyer, 25c, a cruiser, $1.00, an aircraft carrier or bat- tleshiy , $2.50. The purchases in . a recent week amounted to $38.75. The plan sounds like a good one, but who keeps the score? — ‘Don’t Wait! , It has been said that “A Ro- tary club is made up of leaders. It can provide leadership in any community undertaking. This leadership is greatly needed in an emergency.” Are we all pro- viding: that leadership in our community? Let’s not wait until the emergency is over. JUNE ee Re Dae 2923/24/25) ANNUAL CONVENTION ROTARY INTERNATIONAL TORONTO + CANADA The Way Rotary Works (The Sixteenth of a series of arti- cles describing the organization and administration of Rotary Interna- tional.) The Rotary Foundation One of the elements of the organi- zation which is somewhat separated from, but is nevertheless an integral part of, Rotary International is the Rotary Foundation. The 1927 con- vention adopted an amendment to the constitution of Rotary International establishing an endowment, known ~_as the Rotary. Foundation, which pro- vides for the board to receive con- tributions of money or property for the accomplishment of the purposes of Rotary International and/or the encouragement and fostering of the ’ objects of Rotary. Plans are being made for the raising of an endow- ment of at least two million dollars for the Rotary Foundation. A Great Experiment In view of the wide extent of world ‘territory which Rotary International embraces, the differences in customs and practices, the many languages used, the length of time it takes for communication between us and for us to assemble together, it would ap- pear that through the years we have been wonderfully successful in keep- ing the machinery of Rotary rela- ‘tively simple in operation. As an International organization, Rotary stands alone, a great experiment in human relations which has met with phenomenal success for 30 years. Whether it will continue to live and serve, increasing in prestige, influ- - ence and usefulness, rests with the individual Rotarians and their re- spective clubs, and particularly with those who find themselves in posi- tions of leadership in the movement. Stop griping about your inceme taxes. Suppose you had to pay en what you think you are worth. **A Bath for a Yank’ That’s the name of a campaign being considered by the Rotary Club of Huntington Park, Cali- fornia. Bathing facilities for soldiers in camp near Hunting- ton Park are poor, and the Ro- tary club hints that mobile showers will be furnished for the soldiers.

Above, the two are talking over plans for the tour, following Mr. Churchill's recovery from an accident, when he was struck by an automobile on Fifth Avenue. Below and left, you see Churchill (center), surrounded by secret-service men, as he is about to step on a train in Detroit. Alber stands just back of him, and to Allber’s left is Inspector Thompson of Scotland Yard, who came to America as Churchill’s body-guard. Only a few of the twenty detectives guarding him show in the picture. Plots to assassinate the great statesman had been unearthed by Scotland Yard and our own secret service. scribes some of these epi- sodes in his lecture. “The Irresistible Winston Churchill” NDER this title, Mr. Alber presents a colorful word-picture of the British Prime Méinister. Alber lived with Winston Churchill for nearly four months, and has known him for twenty years. His lecture is not only timely, it is witty, dramatic, intimate without familiarity, folksy, humorous, and inspiring—because England's man of destiny is all these things. Mr. Alber is no novice as a speaker; he has addressed all types of audiences in most parts of the United States and Canada. He has what is known as ‘the popular touch,’’ but achieves it without making compromises to good taste and educational values. His presentation is entertainment at its best. The Des Moines, lowa, Chamber of Commerce stated, after Mr. Alber’s address to one of the “We feel that we know the British Prime Minister personally largest audiences of the year: after hearing Mr. Allber’s colorful, inspiring, and informing description of him."’ And know- ing Winston Churchill helps one to understand better our own foreign relations.

IMPRESARIO . . LECTURER . . PUBLICIST contacts with most of the famous men and women of the past thirty-five years, has a combination of information and knowledge A STUDENT of economics, world affairs, and business problems, Mr. Alber has been a traveler since his sixteenth year, has had gained the hard way, and (to quote the late Dr. Glenn Frank) ‘tis endowed with a mellowed and richened quality of mind and heart known as wisdom.” Facts about his career may be found in ‘‘Who'’s Who in America’; in Wincent Sheean’s ‘Personal History”; Ida M. Tarbell’s ‘All in the Day’s Work”; Mark Sullivan's ‘‘The Education of an American”; and Prince William of Sweden's ‘‘My Journey to America”. LECTURES AND ADDRESSES THE IRRESISTIBLE CHURCHILL Mr. Alber lived with, worked with, and played with this outstand- ing Anglo-American phenomenon, and presents a brilliant word- picture of the British Prime Minister, filled with many humorous stories of actual events not heretofore told. SOME CELEBRITIES | HAVE KNOWN Mr. Alber makes presidents, kings, prime ministers, the nobility of Europe, great literary people, soldiers, scientists, publicists, revolutionists, actors and actresses come alive and appear before you. Such men as Benito Mussolini, Neville Chamberlain, Lloyd George, Clemenceau, Adolf Hitler, and scores of others, whom he has met and known, will be brought into these lectures. FROM ROOSEVELT TO ROOSEVELT Mr. Alber’s personal impressions of our presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. WANDERING THROUGH THE NEW DEAL Mr. Alber’s experiences in Washington during 1933 to 1938, while holding posts in the Roosevelt Administration. Many humorous incidents, and intimate portraits of the men who made the New Deal. PUMP-PRIMING AMERICA A serious and amusing investigation of the pump-priming theory of economic recovery. Mr. Alber maintains that the theory hasn't been tried, because the Roosevelt Administration has not poured the prime into the economic-pump of America. A striking program of actual pump-priming suggested. THE GREAT ORATORS Mr. Alber has studied speakers and speeches since 1900; has heard all the foremost orators of his time. From a close association with many of these, he brings a colorful picture of such figures as Bryan, Baker, Wilson, Beveridge, Ingersoll, Borah, Sharp Williams, LaFollette, the two Roosevelts, Ickes, Willkie, Glenn Frank, Lloyd George, Churchill, with inside information on how they secured their effects. SWORD AND SUPERSTITION A lecture about the late Middle Ages period, of which Mr. Alber has made a study, while reconstructing the life of his Great-— Grandfather—twelve generations removed—Dr. Matthaus Alber of Reutlingen, Swabia, who was ‘The Martin Luther of Swabia’. An interesting section—Who were the Angles and Saxons?— indicates the range of material. Most timely. A FEW RECENT COMMENTS WORLD DIGEST, NEW YORK CITY: ‘Mr. Alber gives us an insight into the personal characteristics of an outstanding world figure.”’ WILLIAM GANSON ROSE, Critic and Public Relations Con- sultant, Cleveland: ‘‘Louie Alber is the finest speaker in our city, and one of the three or four finest in the United States. He is tops.” MARK SULLIVAN, Washington Journalist: ‘Based on ade- quate knowledge, | underwrite him (Alber) 100 per cent.”’ RAY S. KLEIN, Executive Secretary, Central Lions Club, Chicago: “The best talk we have ever had at the Central Lions Club.’ ‘I could listen to that man all day.’ ‘His command of the English language is marvelous.’ ‘Let’s have more speakers like him.’ ‘Why not get him back for a talk on Will Rogers?’ These are a few of the comments | heard following Louis J. Alber’s talk on ‘The Irresistible Winston Churchill,’ and | add my personal O.K. to everything that everyone else has said.” DR. GLENN FRANK, former president University of Wisconsin: “Louis J. Alber is a true Personality Impresario, getting behind the personalities of gifted men and women, helping to develop them, and making them known to the public. As a Public Rela- tions Councillor he stands supreme. A true celebrity who speaks about other celebrities and makes them come to life before an audience.” HORACE TREHARNE, Manager Cleveland Advertising Club: “Mr. Alber gives a better talk than most of the professional speakers he furnished us in the past, fine as they were. Our audience gave hima rising ovation as a tribute that it had not been so thrilled for many, many months. He easily rates a Four A as a speaker for any occasion." FRED SOWERS, Secretary Cleveland Rotary Club: ‘The most timely and informative program of the year. Alber gave a wealth of serious and humorous incidents, painting a vivid word portrait of this great world character."’ DES MOINES, IOWA, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: ‘We all felt that we were personally acquainted with the British Prime Minister when Louis J. Alber completed his vivid and intensely interesting portrait of the great statesman—and we liked the new acquaintance.” Professor Bert Nash, School of Education.

You requested that I tell you something of myself so as to shorten introduction remarks. Of course I am glad to follow your custom in this respect. I was born in 1887 in Minneapolis, KANSAS; attended the public schools of that little city and later attended and graduated from Baker University in 1910. Then went to Columbia University in New York for first year lew work. Took the next two years at the University of Michigan from which I graduated with J. D. degree in 1913. Located in Manhattan in 1914 and Mr. Harlan and I became partners on January 1, 1917 and have been partners since. I have a wife, "vine", who was an Iowa girl; and I have two children, Mary Louise, who is now in Kansas State College, and Bill, who is in Manhattan High School. My only political venture has been the customary one for young lawyers for I served as county attorney of Riley County in the dim distant past. Hal is the politician of this firm. Have shown sufficient interest in community affairs to serve on the board of ed- ucation, lib rary board, and other boards and committees and have been president here and there but your members sre not interested in that. Was president of the Manhattan Rotary Club 1940-1941. I mke no claim to the unusuwal, being just one of the many millions of Americans whose only boast is that they are Americans. I do claim credit, however, for having chosen agg talented and beautiful wife, and #e hav had a part in the rearing and education of to splendid children. That's enough isnt it Dr. Allen?
