DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Tells Purposes Of Rotary
Organization

Willard l. Lansing, governor oil the
FIRST District Rotary Clubs, addressed
the Augusta Rotarians last evening
on the subject Rotary. Its Purposes
and Activities" He is a speaker of
force and sincerity and his exposition
of Rotary ideals and principles made
deep impression. Prior to the ad
dress the Messrs ,Bilodeau sang as a
duet the "Marseillaise" in their usual
melodious and spirited manner. A
debate between Charles F. Bilodeau
and Dr.. NJ. +. Hawks on the question
as to whether the odor emitted by. an
automobile is a necessity or luxury
held the tense interest of all and kept
the hearers in suspense as to who
should be declared the winner until
Mr.. Bilodeau offered his rebuttal, in
which he spoke in the purest French
This strategy proved quite effective
for DR.. Hawks essayed no come back
Mr.. Bilodeau upheld the necessity con-
tention. On motion of Guy f. Gam
nett the Rotarians voted to raise the
sum of $40 for the purchase OF to-
bacco kits to be sent as Christmas
gifts from the club to the Augusta
boys in the active service across the
water.
Mr.. Lansing. who introduced him
self as "a lumber dealer from Provi-
dence. f. L.. defined Rotary as an as
sociatinon of business men deeply in
terested in and anxious to be of service
to their fellowmen." The intimacy the
optimism to strengthen those who fall
ter, awakens the better self and makes
Rotarians long to do better things. he
said and the singing, talking, and din
ing together gets them in tune with
what is going on.
Mr.. Lansing gave his whole hear
approval to the war camp recreati
fund which is now being raised. He
told of what the Providence club is
doing to promote the cause and urg-
ed the members of the Augusta club
to give all the help it is able. He
urged that the club show an interest
in all the affairs of the city and show
itself to be an Augusta booster. Il
don't believe there's another city like
Providence. r. l.. and if any of you
believe there's another city like Au-

There were IA rotary clubs when
Mr.. Lansing took Office last June. he
SAID. and he expressed the purpose that
before his term expires there shall be
IA more. He urged the club to select
some nearby city and have one of its
citizens who is of the right sort to
organize Rotary club there.
1t was announced that Harris s.
Woodman of Winthrop will be the
speaker at the next meeting and that
he Will talk on THE ManufactIra of
