 At Luncheon


 league of nations thru .fraternalism l for operation of labor bureau, and l for annual observance of a healtk
 week were some of the undertakings decided upon by the representatives 1 of thirteen nations at the convention of the International Association oi
 Rotary clubs at Atlantic City last i week. Edinburgh, Scotland, was fav-
 ored by the delegates as the place
 for holding the 1921 convention. 1 These and other proceedings were reported to the Pine Bluff Rotary club yesterday by Dr. J. I. Norris and l 1T. Kemp Toney, who returned yes terday forenoon and were met at the
 station by delegation of Rotarians
 headed by Judge w. T. Woodbridge
 president of the Pine Bluff club. D
 Stanley Dreyfus, another delegate
 stopped in New York.
 MT. Toney's selection by the Pine
 Bluff conference of the 14th district
 to be governor of the Arkansas-Miss- 1 issippi-Louisiana district, was con-
 firmed by the international body. He will assume office July 1.
 1 Dr. Norris offered prayer at the opening of the session Friday, and
 was urged to remain in Atlantic City and speak at the First Presbyterian church there Sunday. Instead he ac- companied Mr. and Mrs. Toney to i York, Pa, accepted invitations tc participate in two services there, and with the Toneys and the governor of Rotary district visited the Gettysburg battlefield. "This visit to that his toric field, and the demeanor of
 General Early, as related by the mo- ther of our host, made me, if pos sible, prouder than ever of my coun- try And feel that our country is safe if the descendants of the blue and the gray hold the reins of gov ernment."
 The report on the Atlantic City convention by Dr. Norris and MT Toney so inspired and enthused mem- bers of the local club that a num- Der expressed determination "to be- gin saving now" to attend the Edin- burgh convention next year.
 The idea of Rotary in undertak- ing esta ablishment of a league of na- tions is not political, but fraternaL Rotary favors the league of nations as proposed in the Versailles treaty, but it's aim is to achieve better understanding among all classes, and then more amicable relations among the nations, thru extension among the people of the world tendency to- wards Rotary ethics and the Rotary desire to be of service.
 That the Rotary idea is spreading was shown, Dr. Norris said, by the attendance at the convention of men from Canton, China. Tho not affil lated with International Rotary, there is in the Chinese city an assemblage of representatives of different gov ernments who meet weekly in lunch con session and discuss problems and adojustments.
 Kemp Toney told of the trip to Atlantic City on a special train in company with Rotarians from the three states in this district, with services on the train in Kentucky by Dr. Norris, chosen by the other min isters and Rotarians aboard for this service.
 l.. E. Bassett, chairman of tho committee on athletic events for the Independence Day celebratnon next Monday, described briefly his pro- cram. and socilited entries. Judge Woodbridge authorized MT. Bassett to draft any Rotarians needed in any contest. and said that Sergeant-at- Arms Thos F Gadberry, would see that the conscripted men reported.
