Rivers To the Rotary clinics for crippled children in many lands, add a new one: physiotherapy clinic in Three Rivers, Que., es-lished by the Quebec Rotary Clubs of Three Rivers, Grand \u2019Mere, La Tuque, and Shawinigan Falls.A $15,000 centre equipped with many modern devices for restoring damaged limbs to usefulness, it was recently presented to the Quebec Society for Crippled Children by the four sponsoring Rotary Clubs.To it are coming youngsters living in the St.Maurice Valley area of Quebec, and there they are examined in consultation rooms and treated by the Society\u2019s doctors and physiotherapists.Funds for the clinic were raised through Easter Seal campaigns led by the Rotary Clubs, and also by a Rotary-conducted \u201cpeanut sale\u201d and golf tournament.The four clubs also subscribed amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000.Present at the ceremonies that opened the clinic were members of the four cooperating Rotary Clubs and a delegation of Rotarians from Schenectady,

and rec ognized business and professional activity.Here, I think Classification and Membership Committees have a great part to play.They should be composed of men with strong characters themselves, men capable of taking a firm stand against the admission of weak members.Why should they be so careful about selecting new members?Because every member of every Rotary Club, as a thorough representative of his vocation, can-play a silent but important role inside and outside Rotary within his own business or profession.The genius of Rotary is individual action.The product of Rotary is men.In this age of fragmentation, specialization, exclusiveness\u2014Mr/ Huxley\u2019s \u201catomistic life\u201d \u2014 we waste so much human energy for lack of co-ordination and integration.Life today is eompartment-ed\u2014we are divided by our work, by classes, races, and narrow nationalism.It is difficult to view life as an integrated whole, thus the consequent chaos of our times.I think Rotarians can accept this challenge, practicing their codes in their callings, serving as happy links between different parts of our society.We can improve the understanding and goodwill among members of different and even conflicting vocations.The world of business is passing through a revolution.The employer and employee, the master and the servant, are almost changing places in certain parts of the world.Service is not servitude.That lesson in human dignity must be learned by all men and governments the world over.If we take a higher view, barriers between competitors, between employer and employee, between buyer and seller, can vanish.We can all live as one family, as God\u2019s children in our common adventure to create a society where strife is resolved into fruitful action and a joyful, creative life.We must realize the imperative need to overhaul the commerce of ideas.Rotary, with its great variety of men and interests, can further this revolution, in the minds and hearts of men, changing our fragmented, atomistic society once again into a synthesized, creative whole.As a fleet of 12 trim yacht* left a wharf on Lake St.Louis, near Verdun, Que., the children aboard looked forward to a day of fresh air, sunshine, and fun.They numbered 125 and all were from a school of crippled children.The outing had been arranged by the Verdun Rotary-Club in cooperation with a local yacht club.After a cruise of two hours or more, the boats headed for an island where the youngsters ate box lunches provided by the Verdun Club.After lunch it was anchors aweigh again for more happy cruising before returning to the starting point in the late afternoon.The Verdun Rotary Club has been organizing similar trips for the crippled children since it was founded in 1947.TOWERING FALL The

into a pattern of responsible communal living .technological progress has reduced the number of physical contacts, and impoverished the spiritual relations between members of community.Those are the words of Aidons Huxley in his book, Ends and Means.What Huxley said of the city, we can project to larger spheres.We could collect, in fact, a whole symposium of simi lar comment.R.G.Collingwood says in his autobigraphy: \u201cMan\u2019s power to control Nature has been increasing pari passu with a decrease in his power to control human affairs.\u201d And Bertrand Russell observes, \u201cWe know too much and feel too little.At least we feel too little of those creative emotions from which a good life springs.\u201d Thus run the observations of many of today's thinkers.We live in a decadent society, in a civilization technically perfect but spiritually barbarous.The values of life have become mercenary.Money talks; money writes; money, like charity in other days, covers a multitude of sins.The price of things has gone up; only man has become cheap.In dealing with his fellows, 20th Century man is still medieval.His head is swollen; his heart is empty.It is no wonder that truthful, honest, vituous men are choked with the order or hypocrisy in these times.For the supreme problem of our age is to match our progress in technology with progress in human relations.Our task, fortunately, is not hopeless.Let us look at the Object of Rotary as it deals with Vocational Service: \u201cHigh ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society.\u201d These words bear repetition until they become threadbare.All mankind is our business.Like the humanists of old, or like the savants of society today, we all, members of different vocations, must dedicate ourselves to the ideal of disinterested service to common humanity.To

Paul answered that question in his 1947 anniversary message and any consideration of the founding of Rotary would not be complete without his reply.He wrote; \u201cMy answer to that question is No.\u2019 My thoughts then were far from any such thing.There was no inspired beginning.Young businessmen, mostly from the country, came in response to my call.Unacquainted with city life, we gathered together to help and befriend each other.We had | been lonesome and we found a cure for lonesomeness.\u201cNo, 1 did not in 1905 forsee a worldwide Rotary movement.When a man plants an unpromising sapling in the early springtime, can he be sure that some day here will grow a mighty tree?Does he not have to reckon with the rain and the sun\u2014and the smile of Providence?Once he sees the first bud\u2014then he can begin to dream of shade.\u201d Rotary Extends to East and West Coasts of the United States 1906 and 1907 It was during the latter part of 1906 that thoughts of Rotary's eventual expansion to other cities were first expressed.In writing about this period, Paul Harris said: \u201cIn the beginning of Rotary\u2019s renaissance, there was little to justify fond hopes and ambitions, but the one element of all substantial achievement in all fields of human endeavor was present\u2014and that was faith.\u201d In 1907, Paul Harris was elected president of the Rotary Club of Chicago.It was during his term as president that he first stated his hopes to see Rotary Clubs in every important city of the United States.It was also in 1907 that the Rotary Club\u2019s first public service was undertaken in an effort to broaden its activities by including definite work for the welfare of the community.This initial project consisted in the establishment of public comfort stations in Chicago\u2019s city hall.1908 In 1908, Rotary reached the West Coast of the United States with the organization of Club No.2 in San Francisco, Calif., by Homer Wood, a San Francisco attorney who became interested in the idea for the Club through a Chicago Rotarian, Manuel Munoz, who was in San Francisco on business.During this year, Chesley R.Perry, who later became general secretary of Rotary International Continued on Page 6.Help Make The ROTARY FAIR A Success By Attending!

St.Catharines, $12,000; Welland, $10,000; Oakville, $9,500; Brantford, $$9,000; Brampton, $1,845; and Cayuga, $200.Serving as chairman of the camp committee was Rotarian R.C.Hilborn, of St.Catharines.The camp features a 20-by-40-foot swimming pool, six dormitory cabins, and a main lodge that AFTER THE ROTARY FAIR NOV.4-5-6 cost ,$34,000.The cost of the entire camp was estimated at $300.-000.'f\tdrop in for a \tlight lunch.QJ\ttnack.\ttundee.V it.vO\tsoda, etc.\u2022t the ELM DRIVE MILK BAR Juir acrosi from tha Armoury.Shelby Walker Is Governor Of District 286 The new Governor of District' 286, of which Sherbrooke is a | part, is Shelby O.Walker, of | Concord, New Hampshire.Mr.Walker is executive vice-president of The Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Concord.He is a member of the Rotary Club, of Concord, N.H., and is a past president of that club.Shelby O.Walker A member of the House of Représentatives, Mr.Walker is also a member of the Army Advisory Committee and a director of the Concord YMCA.He is a former Mayor of Concord and has been a director of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Concord Hospital.Mr.Walker was elected District Governor of Rotary International for the 1954-55 fiscal year at the annual Rotary Convention in Seattle, Washington, last June.He is one of the 220 District Governors supervising the activities of some 8,300 Rotary Clubs which have a membership of 393,000 business and professional executives in 89 countries and geographical regions throughout the world.THE GREAT RAFFLE \u2014 General vice-chairman Fred Wilson, right, supervises the work of erecting the giant cage for the Sherbrooke Rotary Fair raffle tickets.Third Party Not Likely To Affect New Zealand Vote GERRY WIGGETT, cochairman for 23rd annual Rotary Fair opening tomorrow.SEA UNICORN The narwhal or sea unicorn of the Artie ocean has a tusk of pure Ivory from six to 10 feet long.OLD JURORS Those who served on the jury courts in Athens about the fifth century BC were known as dicastes.(By NORMAN WILLIAMS) Weilington \u2014 Reuters \u2014 New Zealanders vote Nov.13 on whether they shall continue to be ruled by the National party which has been in office for the last five years, of whether the Labor party is to take back the task of government which it handed over in 1949 after 14 years in office.For the first time in about 20 years, a third party, the Social Credit Political League, is contesting the election in strength.But present indications are that the social Credilers will not offer a serious challenge to Die established parties.Voters this year will include, for the first time, about 52,009 recent immigrants from Britain, South Africa, Australia, Canada and other Commonwealth countries.The number of voters on the electoral rolls is about 1,250,-000, compared with 1,166,375 in 1951, when 1,036,137 of them voted.Every New Zealand citizen, man or woman, over 21 has the right to vote.British subjects are entitled to vote after one year's residence in the country provided they have lived for at least three months in the constituency where they register.Aliens may vote after residing here for five years and on becoming naturalized.Registration on ' the voters\u2019 lists is compusory for all, but voting is not obligatory.While the advent of a third party is not expected to have any far reaching effect on the final result, it may have some nuisance value in constituencies where seats are held by small margins.Social Credit and other parties flourished in New Zealand some years ago, particularly during the depression of the 1930s.But political experts here have expressed surprise that the party should choose a year of unrivalled prosperity to emerge in strength.Most competent observers expect the government to win, but by a reduced majority.The National party now has 50 seats in the 80-seat parliament, with the Labor party holding the remainder.Both Sidney Holland, Prime Minister and leader of the Na- ' tional party, and Walter Nash, i leader of the Labor party, are ex- j ;

after all it could have been a publicity stunt.The reply from Fletcher Rit-son, then Birkenhead Rotary Club President, effectively disposed of such suspicions.Rotarian Ritson wrote that Vivienne \u201chas a very sympathetic and willing disposition and on many occasions spends on or gives to deserving causes her own pocket money .The family lives in a bright and cheerful home situated in one of (he heavily blitzed areas of this borough.When visited, it was clean, comfortable, and obviously run by a good and houseproud mother.\u201d That put the Ellicott City Ro-larians to work.Perhaps 2 shilling wasn\u2019t very much money, but it was to Vivienne, and it \u2022\\Bd come out of the goodness of her heart.So they put together a testimonial scroll, had every Club memebr sign it, framed it.and sent to Vivienne in care of the Rotary Club of Birkenhead.It testified to a \u201cgrateful acknowledgment of her prompt, unselfish, and sympathetic assistance.\u201d British customs officers, after some heart searchings, made no duty charge on it, and the Birkenhead Rotary Club brought Vivienne to a meeting to make the presentation.There was, as a result, a tur-ther exchange of letters.Vivienne wrote to Rotarian Taylor, thanking him and his Club, and saying, \u201cI only wanted to help a little bit.I will always think of you and pray for you all.So that you have no more floods.It will always remind me of Ellicott City, and all the kind people who live there.When I grow a big girl t will ask Mummy and Daddy to let me come and see you all.\u201d To which Rotarian Taylor replied: \u201cThe photo (which she enclosed) shows us a little girl whose character is reflected in her face and eyes; a girl who is of a very happy disposition; a girl who is unselfish to the core and who believes and practices our Rotary motto, \u2018Service above Self.\u2019 \u201cHowever, Vivienne, we can't give you all the credit.We must give credit to your parents; we must give credit to your teachers; all these persons have done a very fine job of molding you into the fine little lady that you are today.All this just didn\u2019t happen, Vivienne; it took patience and courage, so let\u2019s give all these persons our thanks and wish them a very happy and useful life.\u201d That really ended the interchange of letters except that Lloyd Taylor and Fletcher Ritson discovered mutual acquaintances in England, and the two Clubs discovered stronger bonds of friendship with each other 3,000 miles away.Simple things perhaps, but what is that ancient wisdom?.\u201cA little child shall lead them.\u201d From \u201cTHE ROTARIAN.\u201d Hospital Help Is Help To Everyone When a community\u2019s hospital is improved, it results in benefits that extend to all who live there, and thus by giving financial aid to them do Rotary Clubs widen their sphere of service.For example, in Charles City, By J.E.PARRY Rotarian, Bournemouth, England In the light of our Rotary motto my title may suggest a paradox.But a paradox, rightly comprehended, has its hidden core of deep wisdom.The great leaders of history have been the servants of an idea; they found their souls in selfless service.Most of us.however, have been socially conditioned to the gospel of \u201cgetting on\u201d without much reflection either on the means or the ends or our striving.We delight in outstripping the other fellow; we preen ourselves for an important role, always seeking status and positions of prestige.We thus proclaim ourselves mere victims of the inferiority complex, pathetically seeking the assurance of position to relieve us of the obsession of uncertainty and insecurity.But are we bv so pursuing what is so dubiously called \u201csuccess\u201d really getting anywhere in personal satisfaction or fulfillment?Is it worth while to be big frogs in little puddles?Is that how to get the best of our life?The urge to egoism, of course, is psychological and physiological, but geared as we are by basic drives, may it not be to our advantage to ponder what is our real demand on life and realize the immense difference between success and happiness?To have a sense of importance is ingrowing and, according to the experience of humanity, frustrating.Was it not one of Oscar Wilde\u2019s epigrams that the two great tragedies of life are \u201cnot getting what you want and getting it\u201d?On the contrary, a sense of usefulness is objective, satisfying, and cumulative.We talk and act as though comfort and luxury were the prime necessities of our existence, but for fulfillment what we really need is something to be enthusiastic about.You and I Iowa, the Rotary Club recently spent $600 to refurnish a room in a local hospital, and the money was available because the Club had for years been earmarking funds for the institution.It put aside $25 a month for two years in order to make the expenditure .Not yet two years old, the Rotary Club of Forest Hill, Ont., Canada, already has to its credit a tine record of service.are in for very acute disappointment in life if we let our biological urge for self-expansion conflict with our moral sense of service, It is a tragedy common enough that men in the severe competitive struggles of life allow their better selves and their most attractive normal qualities to atrophy.We do not have to go out of our way or launch a big program to develop our best faculties.Many times we do not even have to go out of our own homes and our immediate circles.Instead of struggling to be a \u201cbig shot\u201d it would pay us very much better to develop sensitiveness for action near to us and more intimate.Someone has said that there are two types of problems.One is urgent and the other important.The truth is, the urgent problems are never important and the important are never urgent.A man\u2019s life is as he thinketh; a man\u2019s philosophy and outlook determine his condition and his well-being.One of the greatest blessings in life is to arrive in a cool, quiet hour of reflection at some real understanding of the sources of genuine satisfaction.\u201cI find,\u201d said Oliver Wendell Holmes, \u201cthe great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.\u201d Life is abundant if we face first and foremost the really important problem of fulfilling ourselves.Someone has said with piquancy that \u201chappiness grows at our own firesides and is not to be picked in strangers\u2019 gardens.\u201d When our conduct is spontaneous and generous rather than calculating, when its natural outflow is in our personality at its best rather than forced into the mold of greed and ambition, we shall realize that usefulness is the key to self-fulfillment.We shall understand the words of the great Teacher more inwardly when He said that He came not to be served but to serve and by His life to secure for His followers life in abundance.When a man reaches this stage of philosophy and conduct, he becomes a highly important citizen, although the thought will never cross his mind.In the days of the Second World War the British, as a people, passed their days in the shadow of violent death, when homes were in ruin and discomfort and I privation were their lot.I am not High Attendance Sought To Boost Club Efficiency Not for the sake of a good record alone, but for increased fellowship and better Rotary service do Clubs strive for high attendance averages.An example of this was seen in Patna, India, where the Rotary Club has achieved high attendance figures in District 53 for several years.During one four-year period the Club exceeded its attendance averages for each successive month.To keep absentee- ism at a minimum, the Rotary Club of Hugo, Okla., uses this novel method: The Club owns two rabbits \u2014 at least they used to be two \u2014 and a goat, and absentees are required to take care of these four-legged penalties for a week.Not long ago the problem of taking care of these animals was increased twelve-fold when one of the rabbits had g litter of a dozen .Often do Clubs go for many, many\tweeks\twith\t100\tpercent attendance in\ttheir\taim\tto reach a specific attendance goal.A Club that recently set its attendance\tsights\thigh\twas\tthat of Bronson, Mich.It was aiming for 52 consecutive 100 percent meetings,\tand at\tthe\ttime\ta Club spokesman reported on the endeavor, the 50th consecutive 100 percenter had been tallied.And\tspeaking of\t100\tpercent meetings: The Rotary Club of Haliburton, Ont., Canada, was engaged in a twtf-Club attendance contest, and when one of its members, J.Frederick Greer, broke his leg while in Peter borough, Ont., it looked like the goal of a 100 percent meeting was out.But it wasn\u2019t.On the Peterborough Rotary Club's meeting day, all Haliburton Ro-tarians went to Peterborough, 50 miles away, took Rotarian Greer, with his doctor\u2019s permission, on a stretcher to the Peterborough meeting.In Atlantic City, N.J., the Rotary Club recently had a 100 percent meeting that came about in this way: First, the Club President asked for a 100 percent meeting on a certain date, and from that point on the Attendance Committee took over.After the meeting 15 absentees were taken to Ocean City, N.J., to \u201cmake up,\u201d and six others were driven 22 miles down the coast to Sea Isle City for the same purpose.Telegrams resulted in \u201cmake-ups\u201d at Rotary Clubs in other States.All this activity combined to produce a 100 percent meeting, the first for Atlantic City since 1923.Among other spurs to attendance that many Clubs are using is the \u201cbuddy\u201d system that calls for the pairing of members as \u201cbuddies,\u201d with each being responsible for the other\u2019s presence at meetings.Two Clubs that recently inaugurated this system are Canoga Park and San Rafael, Cailf.Attendant'» contests between Rotary Clubs are popular, and the Missouri Clubs of Clinton and Warrens-burg are vying now.sure those were the days of great fulfillment and happiness, what has been termed their finest hour.People were living at their highest level of service and self-forgetfulness, class distinctions and conflicts were, in abeyance, individual resources of strength and courage were pooled.Britain was united and strong \u2014 strong because integrated in a life of communal' and national servie* \u2014 \u201cmembers one of another.\u201d To be aware of social need, lo have an absorbing interest in it, to be self-forgetful in the interest of others \u2014 these are th* elements of self-fufillment and courage.As Rotarians, we know that the road to peace, strength, and contentment lies outside th* confines of self.It is by giving that we get."]
