almost like making a speech. He
said Colorado Springs was az full o!
visitors in summer as Tampa is in
the winter, and paid tribute to the way
the Rotarians were entertained on
their stop-over there and at other
cities. At Denver they were given
auto trips all over the landscape, over
the good roads surrounding the city,
which roads he says were paid for
by the city of Denver through direct
taxation.

chance to learn something OF the
teachings of the club and fails to d(
so. He believes the Rotary distric
conference may come to Tampa il
February, but it is mp to the dis
