with Arizona beauty roses which
We're laid against the snow white
table cloths and were thus set off in
most approving manner.
Superintendent Scott was down on
the program for a service talk, but
after Il few preliminary remarks led
the way for the entire crowd
through the shops and through the
office building explaining things of
interest as he went The whole club
congratulated and thanked Mr. Scott
for his efforts in making the affair
q success.
AS a change from the usual order,
Chairman Conway announced that
each Rotaran in answering roll call
would state his place of birth, his
business and the number of years
he had made Phoenix home. This
was checked and the following in
teresting data was compiled on the
membership of the Rotary: by states
