I cannot say that they live, because life is everything that improves and advances. Clubs with a large attendance are energetic and ac- tive. They are the ones which . best. serve the community and Rotary.” Let’s Fill the Gaps . It seems that almost every Rotary. club is losing a few members because of the war. Some are called into military service. Others are taking posi- tions in essential industries and are required to leave town or change classifications. Perhaps it can’t be avoided, but we can do something about it. wE cAN FILL THE GAPS. - The Rotary Club of Charles- ton, S. 'C. had such a problem. The membership of that club dropped from 87 to 81 in a month. Then the club officers decided. to do something about it. They published a list of un- filled classifications, and in “no time” there were 8 new mem- bers and 3 good prospects. And the club expects to pass the 100 mark before long. Can’t we do something like that? If each member of our club would propose one new member, just think! We would have something to brag about. Down Under In Australia (Devonport, Tas- mania) there is a Rotarian (Arthur White) who cycles 14 miles from his home to attend Rotary meetings.

How to Save Petrol : Rotarians in Hobart, Tas- Gues ‘mania, who find it-necessary to Ediforial travel any considerable, dis- tance, notify the Rotary: .club office as to time of: departure and expected return. The office tabulates the information re- ceived and thus is able to help any members who are traveling to join up with others who may be going to the same place. This plan saves not only petrol (gas to you), but tires and automo- biles. Maybe some of the Rotary clubs in this country, especially in larger cities, ought to try it. A TIMELY THOUGHT It is not the guns or armament — Or the money they can pay, It’s the close cooperation That makes them win the day. It is not the individual Or the army as a whole But the everlastin’ teamwork Of every bloomin’ soul —J, Mason Knox _ 33rd Annual Convention Rotary International TORONTO, ONTARIO CANADA June 21-25, 1942 Normal Living There has been much said of late in criticism of “business as usual.” This criticism is quite just if the “business as usual” idea insists upon profits and so-called social gains even at the cost of national safety. There is something, however, to say on the other side of the case. We very des- perately need to keep as many as possible of our normal ways of life in these trying times. Of course many of our normal activities will have to be curtailed. We will ‘have to do without many things. There are many things we cannot do. At the same time, it will be well for us to remain sane enough to continue many of the ordinary activities with which we have filled our lives. - To assume that we have to change everything in order to be patriotic is foolish. In that direction lies hysteria and nervous collapse. We will have to release the tension by forgetting the load sometimes. It will not be a sign of indifference to the national crisis if now and then one follows some form of recre- ation or even spends a little money for pleasure. Someone will be sure to say that you had better have spent that on defense bonds, but you will do well by the defense program if sometimes you insist that your life must retain some of the normal things of former days.—The Roteo- graph, Ve Ohio. atest dune 23, 1942.

Often after arranging for speakers ahead of time we find it necessary to rearrange the schedule because of these set dates.
