Dick is also proud of his sister Vanah's success to the spotlight again this year. Although shy and stand-offish by nature, President Carroll takes this one opportunity per year to come out of the shoebox and let his hair down a bit. Not necessarily known as a vocalist, Carroll's talents are in the field of dance, and he has often been confused for Fred Astaire, as he is quite the “hoofer’’. When he reign of terror ends (if ever), President Carroll plans to settle down to a quiet life of retirement under the direction of his lovely wife, Peg The incomparable Santford Jolley will be celebrating his 120th year at the Rotary Show Afterglow party and is delighted to return.

The show retains that special quality that having Dick involved lends it. Dick lives in Coldwater with his wife, Delores (the Hawk) who is artist, scenery painter, and set builder (as well as a pretty fair bartender) our friend “Jol” has seen quite a few performers rise and fall, sometimes in the same evening. His talents will be sorely missed, should he ever become too old to work on this show. Take a good look tonight.

Known far and wide for his liberal (sorry, Duke) interpretations of popular and semi-popular songs, ‘The Duke’’ (a dog's name) will clearly be a musical gem, if he ever conquers his stage fright We are delighted to once again showcase the considerable talents of Dr. Our normally late Bob Kerr joins us for our show at about 8:15 p.m. A bit earlier than in previous years, Bob looks at the back of the man in front of him to read the song words pinned there! A special thanks to Bob for allowing the Rotary Club to store various items in his third-floor vault, and for allowing the pigeons of the community to do the same. Bill Nettleman. Sporting two of this planet's largest feet, the good Doc is nonetheless a star hoofer and ice making genius. Born the semi legitimate son of sharecropper parents in Badclutch, AL, Bill worked his way through the U of M by selling classified information to foreign diplomats. He was refused entry by Michigan State University, and has vented his anger on spartans ever since.

SIELKEN MAX orebri noe p DIET CENTER LARSEN, returns for another Rotary Show. Purportedly serving in his centennial show, Chuck graces our boards once again. Chuck was recently voted the club’s Ernest Hemmingway look-alike, and, although not the only Rotarian to act like one, is one of our few eligible hachelors. A Sagitarian, Chuck enjoys flying airplanes and balloons, hunting, fishing, and lie-telling. He is a consumate expert in most of his hobbies, and ladies, his home telephone is 1-800-555-5033, operators are standing by to take your calls. “Bolsterous Bob” Loose graces our show for this, his 75th year of participation. Although often admonished for his constant partying, obnoxious behavior, and public disorderliness, Bob maintains a remarkable normal appearance. Sporting a charming beard in honor of his friend Chuck Woodward's personal centennial, Bob Loose was runner-up in the Ernest Hemmingway look-alike poll. Bob is a recently retired plumbing and heating contractor; retirement allows him more time for his hobbies, drinking and debauchery. His lovely wife, Margaret has our sympathies. CLINIC INC. - ALLSTATE INC. Reymundo Cardenas, former pirate, white-slaver and kiddie star in old burlesque joins our groups for the fourth year of performance, and has the distinction of being the only one of our members to know all the words to the songs, although he can’t pronounce them, Ray is nonetheless an invaluable addition to the show's cast. Reigning expert on Latin-American politics, Ray often regales the club with tales of life with his wife, Gonzie and of his South American heritage. John Selwin Plerson, veteran back-stage type guy, returns for his 98th Rotary Show. Nobody quite knows what John (some call him “Sel”, “Sol”, “Sal”, or “Old What’sisname”’) does in the show, but he does it exceedingly well! His exemplary service has often been singled out for special each of wings recognition, but he has never quite gotten it, even now. No other member has ever surpassed John in the highly technical work of keeping track of member's glass saspirilla in the of the theater. Sel is the husband of Dr. Maura Pierson, whom he affectionately refers to as “Dr. Maura Pierson, Dear’. | �SHOPPER'S GUIDE GREAT LAKES ENTERPRISES Qunicy EDWARD D. JONES & CO. Brian D.

In every such discussion there is opportunity for humorous reference to various members. Such allus:ons go over well and would be fine in a pep program. We have no set program of horse play as the Hillsdale club does but usually get more or less of fun in the preliminaries. It arises ‘spontaneously and is as enjoyable as a deliberate attempt at fun. The Hillsdale pep program jis not limited to jokes alone, however, and is a substantial and valuable part of the meeting. Hugh Clarke undertock something of the kind here a while ago but gave it up. He didn’t get quite the response he should but perhaps gave it up too easily. Since program committees will do no more than to invite a speaker (which is pretty well demonstrated to be the case), some scheme must be devised to give members of the club a part in its activities. A discussion of ethical problems wiil help for a time, provided the jokes can be eliminated from it. You can’t have a serious discussion if it is turned into a joke. At least ten minutes is required to make it interesting. That sometimes limits the speaker a trifle but is well worth while. The two questions we have discussed have aroused considerab‘e interest. The first one, which involved George Branch’s extra man, was voted on and the vote was far from unanimous. Eighteen members voted to pay him $12.00 per week. Twenty-six members voted to pay him more. The question to be discussed this week is whether manufacturers should replace the stocks of jobbers and wholesalers destroyed in the recent flcods. This is a very live question at present. Jobbers and wholesalers are insisting strenuously woon such replacements. Manufacturers seem in a quandary about it. The question does not seem to be an ethical one. It could hardly be claimed there was an eth‘cal obligation on manufacturers to replace these stocks. It is rather a practical one which each manufacturer mus* decide. Failure to comply with the demand may mean loss of markets. The timeliness of the question, however, will make it interesting. It is to be hoped at least fifteen minutes can be devoted to it. a What is happening down in St. Louis this week is probably just tco Bad. We feel it in our bones that Bob Wade is being subjected to the temptation of his life. We hope he comes home sober. —x-——__— Frank Moore brought back with him from the Sunny South a number of Rotary papers. The remarkable thing about them is the wonderful number of winter visitors! at the Rotary Clubs in Flor'da. At this seacon of the year the loca! clubs are entirety submerged. It is not at all uncommon in St. Petersburg to have three hundred vistors. This s‘tuation affords an opportunity for wonderful programs and contacts with the most famous men. Frank doesn’t report quite so enthusiastically about the weather down there this winter though. �THE RAZZBERRY About Modesty In Rotary The following article in this policy of the Coldwater Club: MODESTY week’s THE News BEST Letter is in line with the POLICY Paradoxical as it may sometimes sound, usually the Rotary clubs which say the least about the splendid things which they are do:ng either in the press of elsewhere, are those which seem to be wielding the greatest community influence and occupying a strong place in the minds of non-Rotarians of the community. The following is an interesting commentary on the “modesty is the best policy” plan from a Rotary club in the western part of the U.S.A. which, in spite of its failure to seek the public spotlight still has a reputation for doing things. : Our local situation rather dictates that our work be carried on with After projects of sound community value a minimum of public notice. ‘have been completed it is generally understood some way or another that One of the other local service clubs, for Rotary has been responsible. which we have sincere respect, has adopted a policy of putting its label on everything that it dces, while our membership in contrast has adopted exactly the opposite policy.

That is hardly to ke charged against him, however, because as soon as he acquired sufficient intelligence to realize his mistake (which was in 1906) he moved to Michigan. He was graduated from Reading High School in 1917 and went to Hillsdale College. Those were the days when martial music was in the air and he stepped to the tune of “The Yanks are Coming” in the Army Training Corps. When the scrap was over he forgoti to go back to college but worked at the Hillsdale Savings Bank for a number of years. In 1924 he left Hillsdale and undertook a rather unsatisfactory career as a bond salesman fcr William R. Ross and Company of Chicago. After four months of that he went to Mount Clemens where he was employed by the Mount Clemens Savings Bank. In October, 1927, he came to Coldwater as an employee of the Coldwater National Bank. Always a very quiet man, he developed slowly but in the parlous times of 1933 his ability as a banker came to be recognized. When the bank ‘was in trouble it soon developed that he was the man who had a comprehensive knowledge of its activities. When it closed another conservator was appointed but Van’s fitness for the position was so apnpareat that after a brief interval he was given the position. The Ed knows personally that he was held in very high esteen by the Comptroller’s office at! Washington. He is now Cashier of the Branch County Savings Bank. In 1928 he married Gladys toward a family. (We probably of the foregoing article.)

Roy Putnam is club chairman. We promised to write an article but failed to follow through. The Governor’s Monthly Letter contains the following announcements: CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS SUNDAY—Annual golf tournament with suitable prizes in the afternoon. Smphony Orchestra Concert and reception in the evening. MONDAY—Conference sessions in forenoon, including addresses by Dr. Amos O. Squire, Director of R. I. and Paul H. King, President International Soc. for Crippled Children. Group Service Luncheons at noon, A full afternoon of entertainment, sight-seeing, boat trips, golf, fishing, well, and what have you. In the evening will be the Governor’s Banquet and Ball. Jimmie Gheen, Internationally known speaker and member of the New York City Rotary Club will address us. TUESDAY—A full forenoon’s program is arranged with addresses by Sam Oliver, Muskegon and Dean Whitehouse of Albion. The Junior Rotarians will have something special for us. The farewell luncheon will be Tuesday noon and Dr. Squire will deliver the address for which he has become internationally known, “Crime and Criminals.” We are very fortunate in securing Rotary’s blind song-leader-Fred Carberry of Milwaukee, to lead the Conference singing. All of our speakers are Rotarians. The entire Conference will be conducted by Rotarians for Rotarians. Special entertainment will ke provided by the Muskegon Club and their Rotary Anns for the visiting ladies. : All in all fellows, it is going to be a record Conference with something doing every minute. Don’t forget that Hol'and is having it’s tulip festival just prior to our Conference and if you drive through their city you will probably see the flowers in full bloom. Bring Peace and Good Will the As a result 34th of district, a suggestion there was made by Governor an interchange of Harrison E. representatives Howe of of the Rotary clubs of the capital cities of the Dominion of Canada and the United States. President Roland Whitehurst accompanied by Chairman James Sharp of the international service committee of the Rotary Club of Washington visited the Rotary Club of Ottawa and spoke on international peace and good will and the Fourth Object of Rotary, emphasizing the value of neighborliness between countries and the futility of war. President Whitehurst brought with him a number of letters from members of his club to members of the Ottawa Rotary Club holding the same classificat‘ons, several of which were read at the meeting. He express2d the hope that these letters would mark the beginning of an international friendship between the senders and the recipients which would ripen into personal friendships. Subsequently, Rotarian Robert J. C. Stead, past president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa and director of publicity of the Department of Immigration and Colonization of Ottawa, visited the Rotary Club of Washington and delivered an outstanding address on “Your Northern Neighbor.” He told his aud‘ence a numb2r of tremendous’y interesting features of Canadian history. stressing the many ways in which the historical deveiopmnt of Canada and its progress has keen interwoven with the historical development and welfare of its southern neighbor, the United States. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. Thanks to Dr. and Mrs, Harry We desire to express the thanks of the Schneider for their splendid hospitality. 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. The largest Club is Grand Rapids. with 109. The Safety Promotion idea that started in the Vicksburg. Club, whereby each member has signed a pledge to come to a complete stop before proceeding over any railroad crossing is meeting with favor in other Clubs. This action was taken after five people were killed oa railroad crossings in Vicksburg during the last year and a half. One of these was a member of the Vicksburg Club. The Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, Club is taking the same action and their members have all signed up. �THE RAZZBERRY We're All Putfed Up The London (Eng.) Rotarian of July 18th contains about the Razzberry. 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. Secretary von G‘eichen reads English.) “A paragraph follows dealing with The London Rotarian, thus: (Quoting our article) “But the personal “high-spot” is perhaps, Page 4, quoting letters exchanged with the Honolulu Club. Here they are:— (Quoting them.) “Now Glenn. Here’s a proposition. While Bob Sharer is filling your shoes, don a pair of stout boots and come over here to help us.

Got it? Say when!” x From the Lansing Rotogram LEND A HAND A club publication is not and should not be merely the expression of the views of cne member, for its viewpoint is therefore limited and cannot be the reflection of the well-rounded judgment of all the members of the cub. 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.

I do not know how the editor of the Toron'o Rotary Voice got the notion that Herb was the editor of the Razzberry. Anyway Herb is entitled to an apology from Bob. Mr. Herb Rotary Club Coldwater, Dear Hurrell, of Tcronto, Editor, Coldwater, Michigan. Ontario, July 24th, 1936. = Herb: I have read with ccnsidevable interest your various issues of “The Razzberry,” which you have kindly sent me each week. I think the material has been well selected and is of general interest to all. Our weekly publication, here, known as “The Voice”, is sent to both the club member’s office address and his home. In reading over the four jckes published in July 14th issue of “The Razzberry” it occurred to me while the humour is good the type of story m‘ght be a bit of a shock to readers outside your immediate membership. Please accept this comment in the spirit in which it is sent. Yours rotarily, W.R. (Bill) Johnston. The Ed agrees with Bill Jchnston, Frequent’y there has been temptation to print suggestive jokes. Some cf them have been real funny. They leave a bad taste, however, in the Jong run. They detract from the standing of the paper.

Mr. Beacock gave a very interesting talk on the his ory of the county. He did not have time enough to develop the subject fully but he had the faculty of choosing interesting things. He is a high grade _fellow. You Methodists better keep him in mind when he leaves Quincy. The Quincy club found it burdenscme to keep its Lions charter. Affiliation with a general organization is a problem where the number of available members is small .

Because of the publicity of the show, there is danger that the club will be given main credit for the campaign. That would be unjust to the Parent Teachers’ Association, which inaugurated it and, with the helo — : of other societies as well as Rotary. carried it to: a successful conclusion. In that connection it is well for us to remember that Rotary does not assume leadership in community enterprises where there is other competent management available. But every Rotarian is expected to be active in all worthy projects. In spite of the prevalence of flu and the natural re-action from the hard work of rehearsals, it now appears we will put on a creditable show at Hillsdale tenight. Frank Cook, Harold Stock, Dwight Harwood and Bill Prideaux, the Hillsdale committee, came to rehearsal Sunday and courteously offered to release us from the undertaking, but the crowd was in no mocd to abandon it. There was as much pep in that rehearsal as in any we have held. �o Coy THE’ RAAZBERRY The Big Show—Continued The Hillsdale Club is one of the best clubs in the no finer group of fellows anywhere.

My Dear Cowell, December 22, 1935 Comrade: It is with the greatest ePsaee that I answer the wish expressed in letter of November 17. “The International Rotary, our friend G. Nagnel of Gand (Belgium) to'd. us last February, is a work full of nobility.” And this work, he defined to us, explained it to us with eloquence, g’orified it to us. There are in this substantial discourse to which I refer you, ideas that could be called mother-ideas. or again strength-ideas, because, made fruitful they are capable of producing comfort, enthusiasm, in a word, life. I. will sum them up, by saying that they dispo-e men to hep -each other and to love each cther, all men w:thcut distinction of class, of your religion and of nationality. That is good. that is fine, and that comprises a whole program, You will find it therefore natural that I attach mysef to these high ideas. and, that I attach myself to them as to a flag and so much more closely that the times are troubled. In order to be more exact and more true, I shall have to say that w2 are in the presence cf a state of affairs so really abnormal! that it impos2s on us in the first place, a redoublement of vigilance and of prudence. -Events, you know, move quickly. Perhaps they surpass in quickness the visions of the mest clever and the most subile minds. A‘l the more reason to hold available all our energies. Of course in order that they may be prcductive it is necessary to as‘sign to them an aim. In my opinion, it is of imnortance. above all tio keep confidenc? and reascn and to cons'der humanely the human problems fcr whose solution the world is on the alert. It is not necessary to repress, a priori, the forces that aim to establish a new order. It is not neces“ary above all to live anart from movements that we see and that seem’ to be cn'y the vre‘ude of movements more profund. For, let us not ferget, the things which happen without us happen against us. �SR» THE RAZZBERRY ——— Louis Moinault’s Letter—Cont’d And that is why I invite to our luncheons prominent personalities of contrary cpinions whose judgment is. certainly valuable. It is necessary to go ahead and to stay young—I should like that to be our motto. It is necessary for the Rotary to have its great windows open on the even wer'd — cn the entire world; that it show itself we!com:ng, conciliating and always dispozed to receive the most diverse and audacious suggestions, free to differ from them, after exam‘nation. For I do not forget that I am of the country of Descarte and Pascal. I should like for it (the Rotary) an increased authority, an authority shin_ng sce bright, so real that in high places, in any country, one could not disregard it. An authority specifically rotarian. We wil acquire it by continu‘ng to work in peace. in union, elbows c’ose together and faithful to our ideal which is — I have pleasure to say it again lcudly — an ideal of beauty, of humanity, an ideal of life ardent and generous.

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.

RAZZBERRY BY THE COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB x FEB. 23, 1937 “HE PROFITS MOST. WHO | SERVES BEST” VOL. 3__NO. 6 The Founder of Rotary Paul My Dear “Boh”: H. Harris Chicago, - Ill. February 4, 1937 As you doubtless know, I came to Chicago in 1896 ta practice law. I happened to dine with a brother lawyer one night in Edgewater and after dinner we went to walk about town and dropped in on several .of . his neighborhood friends who were local shop-keepers ‘but. no two were in the same line cf trade. |. I was at the time, a young lawyer of few clients, and almost no friends or acquaintances, having been brought up in a small New England town. I missed my friends very much. The experience with my brother lawyer impressed me very deep'y; he had everything I had been longing for. I, mulled over it for nearly five years and my ideas expanded considerably during that period. As far as I can remember, Sylvester Schiele, still a member of the Chicago Club, was the first to whom I spoke of the movement I had in mind. �THE ‘RA ZZABE REY The Founder of Rotary—Contd. The Chicago Club grew very rapidly and its success awakened the ambition to extend the movement much further and to direct its impetus of usefulness. Sincerely yours, Paul H. Harris. The above letter was ccntributed by the founder of Rotary, especially for this anniversary number of the Razzberry, and. as a personal message from the first President of our great organization to the Coldwater Rotary Club. It is a recognition which is unique and exemplifies the fraternal spirit of Rotary, which is the predominating characteristic of Paul Harris. In this miessage he portrays the very nucleus of the organization and allows us to fathom the innermost thoughts which led him to seek the companionship of his fellowmen and thus sowed the tiny seed which has multiplied by many thousand fold and has spread the beneficent jnfluence ‘of Rotary into the farthermost corners of the earth. Little did he realize when the grovn of four sat down to that firct ecnference table on Feb. 23, 1905. exacty thirtv-two vears ago today, that it was to become one of the greatest organizations of its kind in the world. It must warm his heart and cheer h‘s soul to have been spared the years so that he has the bountiful pleasure and u'timate satisfaction cf knowing what he has builded: a lasting and enduring edifice: one no‘ made of stone, or brick, or mortar; but from the lives and energies cf men, through whose influence his human svmpathy and bountiful charity shall be carried far into the future until it shall touch the hearts of man in every home, every state, and every nation on the face of the earth. 7 “WHAT ROTARY MEANS TO ME”’—“A ROTATING BROWNIE” R.

Would I be his sort of a Friend, wou'd he say. “T’m proud of you fellews, you’re doing rieht well For a bunch of Rotarians, I think you excell.” --Rotary Ann Shattuck. ‘ pes) ‘ �DAE A WHY ZZ I LIKE Ry ROTARY Really, this is not such an easy subject if I am to be honest about it. Did you ever ask yourself the question, “Why do I like Rotary” and then try and write it? I know well enough the proper thing to say, and should bear down on all of the spokes and cogs of the Rctary Wheel; everything this symbo! stands for is ideal, but did you ever notice how many cogs there are? So I believe that if we can each get in gear once in a whi'e, we at least belong to the wheel and are all a cog in it. . Now to my subject: My association with Rotarians has made me more tolerant with the cther fellow’s viewpoint; there is always the remote possibility that I might be wrong; to strive a little harder to be competent and to render the service in my profession that shou!d be rendered. I have learned a great deal from the discussions at Rotary meetings, both from our local members and the various talks and subjects taken up by outside speakers. Also this Service Motto has induced me to assume at various times, tasks outside of my regular work, which, had I followed my inclinations, would have been done by somecne else. Upon studying this paragraph, I will add that the examp’e established week after week by many of the officers, has had a very good influence. I could continue te ponder and analyze my reacticn to various incidents connected with visits to other clubs, their very fine hospitality, and the weekly contact w:th our club members, a great many of whom we would only meet occasional!y and then not get to know them if it were not for our club. The above are mainly my reasons for l’:king Rotary. George Vail. The first reason that I would like to give for liking Rotary, is qu:t2 personal. When I was asked to represent my prcfession in the c’ub, I felt that a signal privilege had been granted me and in the years that have passed-since then, that first feeling has been greatly deepened. During these years I have had the privilege of fellowship and comradeship with my fellow Rotarians from practically all of the busine*s and professional classification in the community. Th‘s has meant much to me and I feel that I have been very distinct'y the winner. Moreover I like Rotary for its “Four Lane Highway” of principles, neat'y summed up in the term cf “Service”. I like Rotary also for its world-wideness and, I believe that in proportion as the spirit and works of Rotary prevail, the chances for international good will are greatly increased. Herb Hurrell. x: OBSERVATIONS OF A ROTARY ANN As a cateress at the Rotary luncheons for several years, I have made the following observations: I know that Herb Lee hated corn bread; that George Branch does not like pumpkin pie; that Si Treat did and stil may prefer Swiss steak to chicken Melba toast, and that Char’ie Pollock takes green tea when he has a headache; also that Bill Frankhauser cannot stay in his seat during the time lunch is be:ng served, he roams around and takes the butter and rolls from any tab’e that has a surp us. I think the c'ub very wise in backing public projects only at long intervals and in this way it will not become too. commonplace and thus will mainta:n the interest of the public and secure their support. I wish to thank the members of the club for the many delightful ladies’ night entertainments which I have enjoyed and I am sure that this expresses the sentiments of the entire Rotary Ann membership. Sincerely, Rotary Ann Mi'nes. �—————_._ «§s THE RAZZABERRY Yost Day Today The City cf Coldwater honors itself as well as an outstanding citizen of Michigan in the celebration of Yost Day today. Fielding H. Yost: is more than a football coach. He is more than the director of athletics at a University. He is a great force among the youth of Michigan today. His influence for clean living, clean sportsmanship and high standards of morals cannot be over-estimated. In these days of alarming relaxation from the old standards of conduct, the importance of such an influence must not be overlooked. Mr. Yost commands the respects of all boys for his achievements in athletics. He has never stooped to win games by tricks or artifice and has not approved of low grade physical, moral or ethical practices. To hold him up as an example to the you‘h cf Coldwater is a deserved compliment to him but it means much more to. this city in furnishing the right kind of idea! for its budd:ng manhood. Sas anEnEEEEEnEnnEnees Seinen WHAT ROTARY HAS MEANT TO ME Rotary has for eight years been an opportunity to me—a wide oren door of opportunity. This open door has made possible for me a fellowship with men of this community which wou'd have been impossible if the door had been closed. Rotary has provided me with an open door of opportunity for prac- tical service. This service has been effective and practical because it was offered by joint: thought and effort of fifty men to needy causes in the community. Rotary has been an open door :n a th'rd sense. It is easy to get so concerned in one’s own business that a fe low loses interest in the many problems of society. The regular Rotary programs with their varied subjects provide one with a continuing course in general education, and in this way Rotary opens .a way of escape fram. the deadening ruts of daily routine. Bob. Sharer. “Often, before having the opportunity of kecoming a Rotarian, I had the impression that it was just a luncheon club, but, starting from the time Bob Wade gave me the Principles of Rotary, I have found some worth while advantage and enjoyment with every meeting. Now, Rotary appeals to me as an institution offering the means cf public service to your community; an opportunity to broaden one’s se'f through intimate contact with an excel‘ent grcup of representative business men. i Rotary offers a place for young men to learn to give service in cooperation with others where they wll receive the satisfaction of ac- complishment withcut personal glory. The social part of Rotary is pleasant and entertaining; its value, however is personal and acts as a means of keeping the organ‘zation intact. I sincerely believe that Rutary can take just an ordinary man and make a good man of him. M. J .Hungerford. a TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FROM BOB KERR Aren’t there quite a number of fellows in Coldwater who would qualify for some unfilled classification in Rotary? I believe that without a doubt the greatest sati-fact‘on the most of our members get from the Rotary club comes from the: contacts and the associations with a good many fellows that we do not get together with very often except at Tuesday meetings This satisfaction perhaps could ke Froadened if some of each of us could recommend a couple of likely prozpects to our Membership Committee. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
