ROTARY KEYNOTE

said. with respect to the policy of Ro-
tary in Harrisburg for the next twelve
months:
From time to time in our city and
vicinity, there arise projects and occur
events the import of which is sufficient
to warrant organized and concerted
effort in order to accomplish success
for whatever it might be. Publicity
is the most powerful force that acts
to-day in the world of public affairs,
The public wants to know. The pub
lie wants to know Just exactly what
facts enter into every public affair.
Our Rotary club should take an active
part in these affairs. our club is not
what we say it is-it is what we, who
are members of it, make it. Our
meetings should at all times be for
um in which to hear public affairs
discussed, and with untiring vigor and
zeal should we get behind such meas
ures as are for the public good, and
with equal force deery sinister schemes
that should be made unable to stand
the public limelight, at the same time
to broaden the general public's con-
cept of Rotary and our own local club.
In a civic way let's resolve to do some
thing big for dear old Harrisburg next
year"
II believe that Rotary, more than
any other agency, is responsible for
the abundant supply of service in the
world today, particularly in America
and the British Isles. He Profits Most
Who Serves Best Who ever heard
of such a motto for business and pro-
fessional men prior to its coinage by
Rotarian A. p. Sheldon over a decade
ago. Why, so popular has become
the clamor for service that not only
Rotarians incorporate it in their bust
ness slogans, but unpatented as it is,
the business world at large employs
in their methods what the term i'm
some house along the Jamestown
done 1t ALL"
The meeting was held at the home
of Captain George F. Lumb, a hand
home house along the Jamestown
Road. which was prettily decorated
with flags and Japanese lanterns. The
club was seated on the lawn until rain
drove the members to the porch. Dur
ing the evening the new officers were
inaugurated and President Arthur d.
Bacon closed his administration with
an address bespeaking the loyal sup
port of the mepbers for the new ad-
ministration.
The club accepted the invitation of
the Lancaster Rotary club to attend
the annual dinner OF that organiza-
ton in Lancaster on June 90 and that
date falling on the regular meeting
night of the Harrisburg club a change
will be made to enable the members
to make the trip.
Captain Lumb was the host of the
evening and brief addresses were
made by Captain j. B. Kemper, of the
Regular Army, and Paul A. Kunkel,
attorney. Strawberries, ice cream,
cake and coffee were served by Caterer
S. s. Rutherford.
