The only fly in the ointment is the one about which Hugh Clarke always squawks—attendance. There’s no good reason why our attendance record should suffer just because someone undertakes the burden of doing somethng different. Its departures from our regular procedure like these that add spice to our meetings and everyone seems to enjoy them. Why discourage the practice then by getting sloppy on attendance? Either Blessed—Or Cursed The London Rotarian features a column in which some member writes a weekly letter on his particular hobby. We’ve had some interesting programs in which members discuszed their own business, but this hobby idea has great possibilities. Our club seems to be blessed (or . cursed) with a number of fellows who are enthusiastic about one hobby or- another and. their confessions would make an interesting addition to the Razzberry.

RAZLBERRY BY THE COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB xXx— ~HE PROFITS MOST WHO SERVES BEST” AUG. 25, 1936 VOL. 2—NO. 22 Plans for Centennial Plans for the Centennial are rapidly whipping into shape. The Rotary Club is doing the work assigned it. On the start its attitude was rather cold. The Ed felt a little chilled by it. The leadership wh:ca can usually be looked for in the club was lacking—in fact, Rotary has not furnished the active leaders in this enterprise, except that Gordon Schlubatis is in charge of the agricultural department. Ken Olmsted’s committee is doing the work assigned to it and Bob Sharer is doing yeoman service as secretary. In fact, Bob is devoting so much time to it that he was unable to assume. responsibility for this issue of the Razzberry. That was unfortunate from his standpoint because if he had been in.charge he could have thrown Bill Jchnston’s letter in the editorial waste basket. x.

The Rotary picnic is a problem with wrestled since the organization of the club. club to Dr. which each Frequently and Mrs. President Harry has there are jok.nz references to our failure to put on a picnic each year. The fact is, however, that a picnic held annually would not be successful. There must be an element of novelty in the things we do or they become tedious. Even so fine an activity as the State School picnic became so monotonous it had to be abandoned. Possibly we could hold a picnic for those kiddies once in two or three years.and make it enjoyable both to them and the club. It cannot be done annually. Harry Schneider’s invitation has provided the opportunity to combine the picnic idea with a new experience. eK Interesting You may be interested to know that the smallest Club in our District is that of Boyne City with only ten members.

We quote from it below: a two page article THE RAZZBERRY “What do you think of this as a title? It is given to a live little journal issued by the Rotary Club at Coldwater (Mich.). Ccldwater indeed! It is anything but. In the issue before us dated June 30th, Editor Glen Cowell, to whom we raise our hat, intimates that Bob Sharer, who teaches journalism, will take over responsibility for the Razzberry for the summer months, and concludes: “Bob now has his master’s degree He should write and talk better than before.” A master touch indeed! We look forward to seeing how Bob reacts. On another page appears a letter from the Berlin club:— (Quoting it.) “(By the way, Glenn, don’t wa‘t for a German translator, as you suggest, to reply to Berlin.

In crder to be effective it must be the expression of the best ideas of all the members. One of the great purposes cf Rotary is defeated if this cooperation is not given. A Rotary club is a crosssection of the community, and its club publication must be the voice of that cross-section. If only a small percent of the club gives its opinions, the club in general lcses just that much by the failure of the majority to function. comments, criticisms, constructive suggestions, Therefore opinicns and views will always be very gratefully received. Surely each one has some brief message of interest to his club.

BOB SHARER. �THE RAZZBERRY The Coldwater Rotary Ciub, Coldwater, Michigan. Dear Friends: I was deeply shocked to read the press reports of the untimely passing of your distinguished president and my personal friend, Frank ©. Mooney. I extend my deepest sympathy to you in the tragic loss which you have sustained. I have admired Frark for the many splendid qualities which he possessed and_e¢specially for the art of friendship and the gift of fellowship which was peculiarly his. His passing causes me to realize that he had inspired a feeling of affection which I have seldom felt except for friends with whom I had had a much closer and a much longer association. ; It was only some three weeks ago that Frank attended a meeting of the Battle Creek Club, at which time he appeared to be in excellerit health and in splendid spirits and all of our members were tremendously attracted to him by the friendly spirit of geod will which attended his brief remarks on that occasion. Rotary and your Club have lost an outstanding member. I can pay him no greater tribute than to say that I feel that Frank exemplified to the fullest extent all of the spirit and fine qualities of a true Rotarian. Rotarily yours, J. W.

It is honoring local citizens who have merited the honor by a long life of usefulness. It recently had an “Albert Murray Day.” Following is taken from the Mirror in connection with this program: All of this brings to mind the thought that there is a community service a little out of the crdinary which cur club might bring iato action. An cccasional death suddenly draws our attention to the worth of this or that man in the community, how he had always been deeply interested in everything that would improve the community, in fact when we come to think of it he could always be depended on to do the right thing. He enjoyed a certain reward, to be sure, in the quiet «espect of his fellowmen but the warmth in his heart that might have come from a more articulate expression of appreciation is. beyond measure. By the above we do nct mean that our club can give public recognition to all the gcod citizens of Charlotte for they are legion, but we can occasionally invite in someone who fully deserves such recognition as a good citizen down through the years and have them know what our eroup thinks of them. A kind word to the living has a greater meaning vhan a bunch of flowers when life is no more. : 22 Fae Another recent Mirror speaks of the return of Judge Russell McPeek and “Doc” DeFce to the Rotary Club. They are both outstanding Charlotte men. DeFoe particularly is well known and honored throughout the state. The Detroit Free Press recently had a column article concerning him in which he was given the degree “DC”, which is exp‘ained to mean Doctor cf Charlotte. Another recent Mirror takes exception to our recent statement that Charlotte’s attendance record is somewhat spotty. We do not recall making the statement but probably did. Coldwater’s record is good encugh so we are inclined to get a little chesty but recently it has not been so hot. We just manage to stay above ninety, but were fourteenth in December and eleventh in January, ‘Charlotte baing above us in January but fourth place in December. It would be interesting to match attendance records with that c'ub. I have asked Hugh to compile an attendanc> record of the club from various angles and would like to ask Brother Byron Brown to do the same for Charlotte. We will then see how the two clubs stand. If we haven't kept up with Charlotte in the past, we will have to brush up a little in the future. Hastings, by the way, is the desra‘r of all the other clubs. Its January record was perfect—100% for the month. XX Frank Moore sends us a number of ccpies of the St. Petersburg Rotary Sunbeam. He doesn’t say, how<ver, whethcr they have sunb:ams down there this winter or not. es Embarrassing Moments The Hillsdale Club seems to have been unfortunate in some of its recent meetings as the following exce:pt from its Rotary News wil chow: EMBARRASSING MOMENTS To His Honor the Mayor, to ih? guests. and to the new memkers cf Rotary, we wish to offer our apologies for the distesteful featuzes of the pep-program. The cfforts of the halfnaked troupe leader to make a hit by means of disgusting anecjotes on'v succeeded in wounding the sensibilities and insulting the ecod taste of all Rotarians present. This is the ce-ond mis-f\t in the weekly Ro'a7ian prezgram. The previous week produced a fiasco and this week a reou'sicn. Such mis-fits are the result of a snap-judgment and hasty decision on the part cf the management. �THE RAZZBERRY Additional Letters of Sympathy Additional letters of sympathy on the death of Frank Mooney have been received from the Belding Club and the Greenville Club. Letters from Harry Taylor, Vice-President of the club, Bill Frankhauser and others, together with editorial comment, were necessarily omitted from last week’s Razzberry for lack of space. Chicago, February 14, 1936 Mr. Hugh W. Clarke Secretary, The Rotary Club Coldwater, Michigan Dear Hugh: It is with sincere regret that we note in “The Razzberry” of February 11 the sudden death of President Frank Mooney. Our contact with President Mooney revealed his deep interest in advancing the ideals of Rotary and in rendering a large measure of unselfed service to his community. “We extend our sincere sympathy vo you and your fellow members. Sincerely, CHESLEY Cr R. PERRY, Secretary. a The Coldwater club certainly has occasion to feel thankful to Raymond Dresser for his loyalty after Frank’s death. He promptly called the editor to find what could be done about arrangements for the funeral. He took it up with Al Hammer at Grand Rapids, called repeatedly and did everything possible to see that Rotary was well represented. One of the things he did was to send a beautiful floral Rotary wheel on behalf of the district. e BR Another man whe is entitled to our gratitude is Al Hammer, Secretary of the Grand Rapids club. He did everything he could to discharge the duty of Rotary to one of its finest members. : (Sre See Sara) It was unfortunate that the funeral could not be held in Coldwater. The weather was such that local Rotarians and other friends of Frank’s who would have been glad to pay their respects to him and show their sympathy for Dora, were unable to go. About thirty Coldwater people, including eight members of the Rotary club were there. The Rotarians were Harry Taylor, Vice-President of the club, Bob Sharer, Charlie Keep and Hugh Clarke, members of the Board cf Directors, Carl Vinton, Irish Ramsey, Bob Kerr and Aiton Hutchins. ok * co oo Bob and Lucile Kerr were loyal stand-bys in the emergency. They went to Grand Rapids as soon as it became an emergency and stayed until after the funeral. Following its custom the club will still consider Dora Mconey as one of its Rotary Anns. She will always be welccme at its functions and its members will ke more than glad to render assistance to her in every possible way. X There is a Rotary Club in the City of Grecns, New York. It’s secretary’s name is Russell W. Gray and believe it or not the president this year is Carl E. Purple. There seems to be nothing rosy in this club’s outlook. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There are others who do not think in community terms but whose lives are filled with useful effort and of quiet good citizenship. It is these men—and women—who form the basis of a sound healthy community. The difficulty so far as these individuals is concerned is not to pre- vent criticism of them but to secure recognition. They secure a certa’n reward in the quiet rescect of the community but in most cases the community is not articulate encugh in its appreciation. Usually the expressioni cf it is delayed until the death of the recipient. Carl Bailey, a good Hillsdale Rotarian, died recently and the community turned out enmasse to his funeral. He was proclaimed Hillsdale’s b-st loved citizen and the Central School was renamed “The Carl L. Bailey School” in his honor. It is probable, however, that it never dawned cn Carl Bailey in his lifetime that he was especially popular in the- community. Here is another objective the Rotary community service committee might have in mind. Public recognition cannot b2 given to every good citizen. There are tco many of them. The’e could be, however, a word of appreciation in the Rotary meetings of men who have spent a long life of quiet. useful service in the community. Those men should be present to hear it too. Jt should noti be pestpored until their death. An outstanding example of such men wh‘ch occurs to the Ed is Dan Greenameyer—eighty-five years old—ffty-seven years in the service of the community—sti!l on the job—the first man 9t the store in the mornine, the Jast to leave at nisht—doubtless unab'e to accomplicth what he could in his prime but still useful. Another is Thurlow Titus—seventy-five years old—who has not only furnished castines to the community for a lifetime but who has been the instrument of employment of thousands of people. Both of these men have stainless reccrds: Both are sti Jiving. A word cf recognition to them would..not-orlv make them fel that their life work was appreciated but would furnish an ‘insviration to youn7?r men to so conduct themselves as to be worthy of the sam2 appreciation in their declining years. For this reason the Ed has taken the liberty of inviting the*e two me» to the meeting next week and propcses that they be accepted as guests of honor cf the club. We provose sim‘ler recogn'tion of others entitled to it and suggest that members cf the club furnish the community service committee with names of those who should be so honored. �THE RAZZBERRY Twenty Five Years Hence Is your club maintaining a concise running questions that undoubtedly will arise five. ten, from now? : ‘ history which will answer twenty, twenty-five years Rotary clubs get older they begin to realize the need for keeping Some of them have found it impossible to get the life a history. story of the club completely because several administrations failed to keep historical records. such -year As European a report clubs particularly are locking for this by publishing of club activities and membership changes during the each year.

He ran ten minutes over time without inter:uct.o1. That is something the President should nct alcw to occur. It certainly would be bad form to interrupt a guest speaker and ask him to stop at 1:30. However, it is not discourteous nor embarrassing io interrupt his r2marks to give time for those who are obliged to leave to do so, at the sime time inviting the speaker to continue his talk to its co clusion. That should always be done. The members can then make appointments with assurance of their ability to fill them. eK At the meeting this week each member will be asked to write and hand to the editor a New Year’s resolution. It is not necessary, however, that he sign his own name. If he has in mind a resolution which some other member ought to make he can hand in his contribution with that member’s name signed to it. In our next issue we will print those resolutions which (like the bituminous coal industry) are affected with a public _ interest. Sa One of the fine things which the club has done recently is the enthusiastic adoption of Roy Newberry’s suggestion last week. At various times there has been talk of estab'ishing a student loan fund. © The necessity for that has been somewhat weakened by governmental assistance to students. That assistance is limited to upperclassmen, however. The case which Roy brought to cur attention seems to be an unusually worthy one. xX Failed to Deliver Dr. Harry Schneider was ordered to furnish a short autobiographical sketch for this issue. He failed to deliver. He will pay Norm Kohl twenty-five cents each week until he comes across. Dr. Fred Leeder is the next victim—subject, of course. to the same penalty. The fact is that we are embarking on a program of printing a sketch of each member’s life. This is in an effort to make the Razzberry a permanent record. We are starting with the new members and going backward. . We could probably secure these sketches each issue by repeated telephone calls and without fine. That impcs-s a considerab’e burden cn the Ed. Besides it doesn't provide the funds to pay his salary. So we will stick to the old penalty method. ay Nea ee More of the February Circus “TED GODDEN PERFORMS KINDLY ACT FOR LOCAL PHYSICIAN.

It was well attended, the splendid dining room of the Four Flags Hotel being filled with Rctarians from Niles, Ssuth Bend, St. Jo-Benton Harbor, The Dowagi2c Dowagiac, Sturgis, Coldwater, Charlotte. and other clubs. club made the occasion its regular meeting and was present almost 100%. President Johnson is a fine fellow. He is not experienced as a public speaker but he gave a very interesting talk which was essentially a report of Rotary activities during his administration. We repeat below a few interesting items of his talk. He was convention chairman last year and had charge of the convention at Mexico City. He described the pressure brought to bear on Rotary International to cancel its Mexican appointment for the convention because of the persecuticn of the church by the Mexican government and the decision of the Board of Directors that because Rotary is non-political and non-religious in its constitution the meeting would not constitute either an endorsement or a criticism of the Mexican government and that the convention should be held in Mexico City as planned He said that during the week of the International Assemb'y and just a few days prior to the convention international President Nelson, past President Tom Sutton, Secretary Ches Perry, and himself had an appointment with President Cardenas to arrange for the opening of the convention by the President. The appointment was for 7 P. M. When they arrived at the president’s palace they were informed the president had undertaken to: reach them to postpene the conference because of an unexpected cabinet meeting and they were obliged to wait until 9 o’clock to meet the President. Later they learned that the President at that meeting had asked for and received the resignation of the entire cabinet and was then and until after the closing of the convention the entire Mexican government. He said it was currently understood that the presence of large numbers of Rotarians from all over the world was the only thing that prevented a bloody revolution in Mexico at that time. He also described the regional conference last September and the pressure brought to bear to prevent the holding of that conference in Italy lest it should be considered an endorsement of Italy’s action, coming just on the eve of the declaration of war against Ethiopia. Again the Board of Directors said that because of the non-political character of Rotary no notice should be taken of the action of the Italian government. The conference was held with representatives from northern Africa, Asia Minor, Egypt, and most European countries present, the total attendance being 1500. He told an interesting story of the club in Alexandria, Egypt, when the Italo-Ethiopian war started. The club, about 60% of the members’ of which was British and Italian, ceased to meet. Shortly after that agitation was begun for resumption of its activities and the club voted on it. The British and Italian members voted solidly to resume meetings. Members of other nationalities voted against it, fearing friction between the British and Italians. Meetings were resumed, however, and have been �THE RAZZBERRY The Niles Meeting—continued carried on without friction. The British and Italian members have shown the utmost consideration for each other. He said the Rotary Club of Venice has recently passed a resolution showing that its national sentiment is much stronger than its Rotary allegiance because the resolution bitterly derides the 52 nations applying sanctions and particularly the British. An interesting fact about Rotary in Italy is the R. I. has always Pressure from Rotary International has stood for Rotary Italiano there.

Soo Club in the loss of its sovereign. Bob Sharer’s suggestion last Tuesday was timely and thoughtful. In the toppling of thrones which followed the world war and the general tendency to treat the members of former ruling families as jokes the dignity of the English king has kept the British throne firm on its foundation, King George held the affection of all his dominions in remarkable degree. He had little actual power but tremendous influence. To his people he was the concrete embodiment of the Empire. The wisdom of the British system is called sharply to mind by his death. Without the throne, England might easily be in the situation in which Germany, Italy and other continental countries now find themselves. The good will of the world goes out to King Edward. The success of his reign means much to its peace and prosperity. Se The Razzberry Suggests The Razzberry wants to make a suggestion to the president. Mrs. Bess Milnes performs a peculiar function in the community. It is practically impossible to: hold a local theatrical without her assistance. Many a hit has been made by a local performer for which she is responsible, though the credit goes to someone else. She does her work very willingly and graciously and seeks no recognition of it. The community owes her a debt of gratitude for service performed in a true rotary spirit. The club could easily do something to make her work more effective. Almost every family has some bit of old fashioned, clothing, jewelry or other article which would make a good theatrical property. If all of these were collected and placed in her charge and those who. desire contribute to a fund for the purchase of cosmetics, wigs and other makeup articles, it would be a useful service on the part of the club. We nominate Florence Kiess, Alice Frankhauser and John Walker as a committee fer that purpose. X— The anniversary of the organization of Rotary is February 23. In his current monthly letter the District Governor suggests that the club meeting nearest that date be devoted to the subject, “International Friendship.” Doublless the February program committee will adopt his suggestion. x: J.

EDUCATION Safety Education courses will be cempulsory in all schools in Michivan next year, unde: a ruling made by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Elliott was urged te make this rulings at a recent meeting cf the Education commi.tee of the State Safety Council. In our own high school this course was taught during the last year, to 400 high school students. While largely an experimental course, it seemed effective. A special bulletin, issued by the state departmnt of Public Instruction will be the main textbook of the 1936-37 course. The Safety Council also suggested that definite means be taken to educate adults in the necessity for safe driving. Luncheon clubs were named as a practical instrument for this type of education. No doubt our own club and our own Rotary District will find a way to aid this problem. Our Police Department in Coldwater is to be commended for its efficiency and its interest in this problem of safety on the streets and highways. Chief of Police Hill has cooperated with the schools and with the local Safety committee in promoting a better attitude toward safety among our younger drivers. . �7-H EB.

Carl Horn, past president of Dowagiac, presented a very. interesting discussion, the “Youth Movement,” and Al Hammer, Secretary of Grand Rapids, stressed “Rotary Extension.” Bill.Qtto was the first speaker on the afternoon program, He gave us a good deal to think about regarding “Vocational Service”. “Rotary in My Town” was the subject discussed by our immediate past District Governor, Ray Dresser, and again I learned something about what Harold Hunt once called “the smug complacency” of a citizenry that becomes too well satisfied with their existence and surroundings. M. J. Lucid, of the Grand Rapids Club, presented a novelty designed to create more interest in our magazine “The Rotarian,” and as confession is supposed to be good for the soul, I might as well admit I was quite surprised to learn exactly what this publication really contains. It is a rather long drawn cut process but I returned from Grand Haven convinced that every Rotarian should serve as president of his club sooner or later because I know cf nothing that helps to broaden a fellow more Rotarially than attending cne of these assemblies.

Walter Wood presented a very interesting discussion’ on “International Service” and while his ideas are fresh in my mind I am going to pass on the following suggestions to all members who want to do something of an international nature... Walter recommends all members entertain foreign students attending nearby schools and universities, I think this is a splendid idea. We have several gcod schools in the immediate vicinity and, no doubt, the officials at any of these institutions would be more than glad to cooperate by placing your inv-tation in the hands of some boy or girl from a foreign land. In this respect I speak somewhat from experience because I had the good fortune to receive several such invitations from kind-hearted Englishmen and Scotchmen while stationed in London and Glasgow after the war. In every case invitations were extended in the proper spirit but I remember one occasion when my host’s curiosity overshadowed his hospitality. Hugh VandeWalker, Past District Governor, Ypsilanti, and Chairman of the Crippled Children’s Commission of the State of Michigan (without pay) ,stressed the necessity for immediate and larger appropriations. from the State Treasurer to. carry on the crippled children’s work in this state. Our club has been relieved of some of its duties in connection with this activity since the organization of the Branch County Health Department. However, cur obligations in this field have by. no means been totally discharged either locally or in a state-wide rense. There are many ways in which we can assist the County Health Dement.

The thing that impressed me about the assembly was that everything “Clicked”! We can attain a similar degree of perfection if all the committees do their stuff.

Clarke, Secretary Coldwater Rotary Coldwater, Michigan. My Dear July 20, 1936 Club, Secretary: At the last meeting of the Hastings Rctary Club, by a unanimous vote the members expressed their desire that Mr. Kim Sigler be placed in nomination by the Club for District Governor at the next annual Conference. If you know Mr. Sigler, or if you have ever met him, or heard him talk, you will appreciate that he is a “live wire”, a very public-spirited man and always ready to support worth-while movements. Recognized aS one of the keenest and most successful lawyers in Western Michigan, his practice takes him into many counties throughout the State. When Rotary can secure the services of a man of his character, ab‘lity, sound judgment and wide experience to-head its District activites it is indeed fortunate. Mr. Sigler is a Rotarian at heart. He joined the Hastings Rotary Club March 17th, 1930, and has never missed a meeting since. He has been at the head of about every prominent Committee; was President of our Club for the year ending July 1, 1935, during which time we made a splendid growth; and has been foremost in all of our activities We will appreciate it if you will read this letter before your Club, greatly pleased with any support you may give Mr. Sigler’s candidacy, and very confident that you will have no occasion to regret any assistance you may render. ie Rotarily yours, . HASTINGS ROTARY CLUB By C. W. Wespinter, President. W. R. Cook, Secretary. We have commented before on the prospect that Kim would be a candidate. What the Hastings Club says about his professional ‘standing is not exaggerated. He is an outstanding lawyer, an able man and an. active rotarian. x Help! Help! Says The Razzberry The Ed is grateful to Bob Sharer for assuming responsibility for the last issue of this sheet. It was so successful that we intend to insist on various members editing future editions. In doing so it must be understood that copy should be submitted to Roy Newberry as early as Thursday prior to the date of issue. Bob is willing to undertake another issue. In fact, he says he enjoys it. He will be away for a couple weeks, so. we have postponed his next issue and’ put*Bill Frankhauser in first. After that we have assigned various members to issues up to the close of the year. We expect each man will accept the assignment as he would any other Rotary obligation. If he fails to do so he is expected to contribute $1.00 to Norm Kohl but that does not expiate his sin. It merely keeps him out of purgatory temporarily. Eventually he will fill the same assignment and may spend several dollars trying to avoid it. Following is the schedule: August Editor; Sept. 11. Bill Frankhauser; 22.

The District Conference —, The Coldwater Club was rather conspicuous at the conference for the small delegation it sent. Roy Putnam, W. J. Carlyle and the Ed comprised the delegation of senior Rotarians. Roy’s wife was the only Rotary-Ann and Howard Titus, son of Walt Titus, was our Junior Rotarian. Two of us were obliged to come back to Coldwater Monday night for the budget meeting of the City Council. Muskegon did itself proud in enteria:ning the conference. The usual attendance is between 350 and 500. Over 600 were registered at Muskegon. The local club had given it an unusual amount of time and enthusiasm and had spent at least twice as much money as is ordinarily done in an effort to give everyone a good time. Muskegon is comprised of three units, North Muskegon, Muskegcn Heights and Muskegon proper, ail cf which claim to be jo-ned :n a community which they call Greater Muskegon and which ccmprises about seventy-five thousand geople. Back in the 80’s it was the greatest lumber manufacturing city in the country. When the lumber industry weaned and other lumber towns were going down with it, Muskegon developed as an industrial center and has become one of the important cities of the state. Its Rotary Club is one of the early ones, It has been crganized twenty years and its number is 216. Every detail of the conference was well worked out. Chester Wel:s, president of the club, Ed Bitzer, conference chairman, and their associates had overlooked nothing. When you stepped from the hotel, cars were parked in front of you everywhere, ready to take you anywhere in the city you cared to go. Accommodations on the boat and at the hotel were ample and luxurious. The sessions commenced on time and closed; on time. Programs were good and well attended. From the reports given it appears that the year just closing has been a very successful one in Rotary. One hundred thirty-four new clubs have been organized and a substantial gain in membership realized. Rotary had been growing steadily until 1931, from which time membership declined in the depression until in the last two years it has taken new impetus. In June, 1935, the peak membership of 1931 was agan ‘reached. Since that time it has steadily increased. President Ed Johnson wants to make a record of four thousand clubs before the end of the year. He has nearly fifty yet to go but may succeed. In this district everything has gone well. There has been a net gain of one hundred eleven members and a new club at Belding. Every club has paid everything it owes to Rotary International and is out cf debt. The attendance record has been the highest in years. The Ionia Club, which was formerly not particularly active, has taken on a new lease of life, It has a steady growth from thirty-three members to forty-nine m2mbers. The Belding Club is growing steadily. Its membership has increesed from twenty-one to twenty-nine and it has the enthusiasm of' youth. Dowagiac and Hillsdale were repcrted as having done outstanding work in the youth movement during the year. No opposition deveioped to the election of Frank Barnes of Manistee as District Governor Nominee. His popularity with the members was very much in evidence and there is no doubt his year in Rotary will be a successful one. (Over) �RAZZBERKLY THE The District Conference—cont’d.

It seexs to provide for This is the so-called “Outpost Resolution”. almost exactly the sort of arrangement as that advocated in “The Razza fullberry” for making it possible to extend Rotary to towns where fledged Rotary club can not be maintained.
