ferent. 1t Is humanitarian. and we can
not tighten the screws on a man who
does not give. and call him a Stacker
There is ct course patriotic side to

want it said that our country let a
people suffer when It was able to help
them. but fundamentally, the cam.

passed up when they refuse to give.
We can do nothing with them. There
are some people who do not yet realize
the need. and to these we can explain

Warrior river development committee,
addressed the Rotary club at its meet

of the Tutwiler hotel on the Port OF
birmingham corporation. He spoke of
the terminals the corporation expected
to build in the very near future and
appealed to all Rotarians to get behind
this movement and assist in this work,
which will mean great developments
for this district.
He declared it was not primarily a
money making scheme, and the corpor-
alton did not expect to reap any great
profits but he was of the opinion that
the people of Birmingham should as
sst as a matter of civic pride.
A resolution was introduced by Dan
Dimmick and unanimously adopted
that the club entertain the members
of the headquarters company of the
Ffty-first infantry, which was organ
lied and sponsored by the Rotary club.
Plans for the occasion and the exact
date will be decided on later.

terton, who will lead this division of
the army.
