Bio Brother Rotarians.

TTGSS commend
Big Brother Rotarians.
Rotary is the only organization Il
the world designed to help those gu
of it more than those In it. It's mem
bers are not supposed to conside
themselves, for in Rotary service" il
placed above SELF" on the theory tina
he profits most who serves best" !
Rotarian is democratic If anything a
all, and If you know one who is puffet
up with pride that goeth before a fall
he is in the wrong pew" and soon vii
find out his error. Men who are ou
of Rotary have not been sighted
they are simply being relieved OF Z
great deal Of responsibility and hard
work for the community, the state
and the nation, together with a sort OF
guardianship for future generations
Their several business classifications
are represented. or viii be sooner or
| later. by one OF their own calling who
| is. or should be. more interested in the
welfare of his competitors than in his
own successes, and is striving with all
his might to hold up by precept as well
| as by example the standard of that
vocation.
With such Golden Rule ideals under
lying its very foundations Rotary does
not hesitate to call upon the general
public for aid in its endeavor to steer
the boys-the future citizens of st. Au-
gustine, who in a few brief years will
take our places-into paths of proper
thought and right living. Work among
boys is to be the major activity of
every Rotary Club In the world, the
international gathering at Atlantic
City, New Jersey, recently having de-
clared the making of men, the mould
ing of our future citizenry, of prime
importance among the numerous wor-
thy activities of Rotary. We are not
at liberty at this time to state the
plans of the boys work committee of
the ST. Augustine Rotary Club, but
suffice it to say the local organiza-
ton is at work on definite lines and
hopes to be able to make an important
announcement in a few weeks of an
accomplishment which win mean much
for the youth of this city.
The present reign of terror in Soviet
Russia could never have been posi-
BILE had the proper interest in the boys
of that country been shown by their
elders: had the youth of Russia been
instructed in broad ideals of citizen
ship. and become saturated with the
proper respect for law and order and
the matches privileges of civilization
the rights and obligations of organized
government and the sacredness OF
those institutions and traditions which
mankind so jealousy guards St. Au-
gustine Record.
Not kiII-Joy.
There must be something more than
sentiment in prohibition when It puts
more money in the pockets OF the peo-
rle. who spend more than ever with
the big resort hotels.
A strong testimonial that prohibition
does not kill joy and that It really
benefits those who feared the worst
from it is found in q. communication to
the New York World, by A. y. bacne-
lor Of Brooklyn, who says:
.Tt was said that Prohibition would
r,,in hotel trade. make deserts OF our |
nopr1ar resorts and kill every JOY IN /
life. Strange. is it not. that after one
year of dryness the report comes from
Atlantic city that s2,75o,o00 was de-
posted in ten local banks ana trust
companies after the most prosperous
Fourth of July that has ever Oeen
Known in that resort?
.The comments of bankers were 70
he effect that the people spent Eoer-
lily and that they were amazed at the
mount of gold which was deposited
Indicating the unusual prosperity OF
he patrons.
aThe hotels not only did the largest
business in their history, but the thea
ers and movies were jammed. the res
aurants could scarcely supply tneir
,atrons and the Boardwalk stores had
more patronage than they have ever
