ROTARY STAGES
GOOD PROGRAM
REPRESENTATIVE OF cOMMUN-
ITY SERVICE PRESENTS PLANS
OF ORGANIZATION.

Presenting the claims of Community
Service, w. A. Abernathy gave a short
oJtIinc To the Rotarians OF the work
done by he service under the direc-
tion of the War Camp leadership and
the necessity for carrying on this work
after the .ast day of January when
the service automatically ceases. In
speaking of the work of the CopmEn-
ity Service Mr.. Abernathy said that
one of the best recommendations this
city had as a naval base outside of
the natural advantages was the work
done by the Community Service during
the months past and the spirit of the
people in regard to the entertainment
of the men in the service.
However. said Mr.. Alternately. the
service work is only a part of the
work which the Community Service
is planning on if continued here. It
expects to take the place of the COM
munity playground idea and to de-
velop outdoor and park attractions.
This program is especially intended
as regards the children of the city
The service would be under the
direction of Pensacola people, would
be run by Pensacola money and would
be a Pensacola Community Service
and he asked that the Rotarians give
their assistance in the coming drives
for funds with which the organization
would be financed.
Rotarian John Whaley was a guest
at the weekly luncheon yesterday and
compared the Pensacola Of today with
that Of several years ago. He has
been travelling all over the south late
ly he said and that no city he had
been through had improved and
changed for the better as had Pensa-
cola.
Invitations from the Kiwanis club
were accepted to attend a unity meet
ing between the two organizations
Thursday night. The invitations stat
ed that the two clubs could do more
effective work by working on a sin
gle project until it was put over and
then take up the next best project.
The Rotarians voted to attend the
meeting.
Preparations for the Rotary birth
day were started by President Brown
appointing George Emanuel as pub
licity agent for the birthday week,
February 1928.
Rotarian Doggett was the princi-
pal speaker for the day and gave
