 Done

Eighty-three members of the Ro- tary club and number of guests of Rotarians participated in the cere- monies at the Hotel Pines yesterday incident to the induction into office of Judge w. T. Woodbridge as pres ident, Jules T. Borreson as vice pres ident, w. L. Toney as treasurer and Thos. F. Gadberry as sergeant-at- arms. Reviews of the work of the club in the past 12 months were made by Charles w. Holmes, retiring president, and MT. Toney who has served as treasurer since the organ ization of the club in March, 1917. Judge Woodbridge is the third pres- ident of the club, the others being H. Kemp Toney, now governor of the Arkansas-L Louisiana Mississippi Ro- tary district, and MT. Holmes. In re- viewing the work of the year, Mir. Holmes mentioned the establishment | of the Soldiers Memorial park, nu- merous campaigns prosecuted by the Rotarians, including the establish i ment of a boy scout council, and the election of MT. Toney as district governor. The retiring officers were complimented by their successors.
 That congress should enact law to provide adequate compensation to employees of the postal department in order that these government em- ployes may receive remuneration commensurate with the ability and service required, and the further dis ruption of the system avoided, was the substance of motion by Kemp Toney, after a brief presentation of the postal employees situation by Gerson H. Moore, representing the postal clerks association. It was shown that even with the bonus of S45O year, which will cease June 30, postal clerks cannot receive more than S1,65O year, irrespective of competency or length of service. The l secretary was instructed to telegraph Senator Robinson and Congressman Taylor requesting their support of measure that will give the clerks adequate pay.
 Report of the success of the cam. paign for a fund of $18,000 with which to finance boy scout work in Pine Bluff for three years was made by Kemp Toney. He said troops are to be organized by all churches, and inasmuch as Rotary has had such a part in launching the work moved the appointment of committee of three from the club to organize troop among boys who may be over looked by other organizations. MT. Holmes left the appointment of the committee to Judge Woodbridge.
