offered and the possibilities before
US, we might for a moment reflect
to consider the things accomplished
and under way, the doing of which
we have rendered what we believe to
be material aid; we might consider
first local activities in which we can
recall the efforts of every individual
member of our own club; second,
national activities in which the COM
bined effort of all the clubs in the
nation have participated, and third,
international activities in which Inter
national Rotary has become very
active.
Into War Activities.
First, following Immediately our
official installation, we were quickly
mustered into the most needed war
activities, and rendered effective ser
vice in the campaigns in favor of the
Red Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, the Saliva
ton Army, the sale of War Savings
Stamps, Liberty Bonds, which contin-
ued to the 18th day of November,
1918, when the one word 'Armistice'
was flashed, and electrified the world ;
humanity had won, hostilities had
ceased.
Hardly had the sword been sheath
ed, we found ourselves confronted
W1.h a malady, the treatment of which
challenged and baffled the most learn
ed medical specialists, and proved to
be the most fatal during the present
generation. In the fight to conquer
we were found serving wherever it
was possible.
"The problems of reconstruction
were the next to open up channels
for real service, and probably will be
open for years to come for all those
who seriously consider and conscien-
tiously serve.
We have gladly assisted in such
service which has resulted in the fol-
lowing achievements. Road bonds for
the county, additional school. funds
for the city, additional funds for the
liquidation of large floating indebt-
edness for the city, the procuring of
valuable property for playground
for the children of the city and for
school purposes, the organization of
the Boy Scouts and boys work in
other respects; we have assisted in all
worthy activities for the location and

President Dykes Tells Of
Work AT First 1920
Luncheon

Following is the text of an address
delivered by President w. W. Dykes
before the Americas Rotary club, at
its first luncheon in 1920 last Thurs
day. The Americas club, like every
other Rotary club in the world, is
rendering to its home community
service that is not surpassed by any
other organization. The only eX-
euse for the existeuc" of Rotary
club is Service" In his address
President Dykes AXIS of some of
the things accomplished by the men,
bers during 1918 and 1919, and the
Times Recorder believes that its read
ers will be interested in knowing
more about the new world force
known as Rotary. For that reason
the address of President Dykes is
printed in full:
When Rotary Came Here
st was the 18th of September,
1918, midst scenes of the most
strenuous war activities when the
service of every man, woman and
child was being called to the colors,
Rotary officially sprang up to give us
a new idea and a broader vision of
service.
Perhaps the then conditions and
the anxious days we had passed and
were passing made US apt pupils but
we quickly seized the opportunity of
fered by this agency to bring us
closer together, to know and under
stand one another, to consider the
other fellows ideas and reasons, to
get real vision of the objective from
his view point, and by thus converg-
ing multiplicity of ideas into one
broad plan, following which, our SER
vice has accomplished and is accom-
plishing most pleasing results.
I'm considering the opportunities
