Jamie" HERON DELIGHTED
BIG CROWD WITH ADDRESS

What does it mean to be Rotar-
ian?
jamie" Heron, nationally known
lecturer, author, poet, traveller, singer
and New York Rotarian, answered the
question in very interesting and
effective manner before the largest
crowd that had ever assembled in the
Minot high school auditorium last
Friday evening, more than two thou
sand people being present.
The Minot Rotary makes it prac-
tice of bringing some good entertain
ment to the city each year without
charge. Last year DR.. Barker, the
great Boys worker was here and gave
a great address. This year, "Jamie''
Heron was brot to North Dakota to
give entertainments under the aus
pices of the eleven Rotary clubs in
the state.
1t can be said that no entertain-
ment of this kind was ever more thoro-
ly enjoyed and it is certain to leave
it's influence for good on the COM
munity.
Mr.. Heron is of Scotch descent and
he speaks with a most delightful
Scotch accent. He looks upon the
tongue of the Scotch, not as a brogue,
but as language. Hundreds of the
members of the Burns club were pres
ent to enjoy his delightful Scotch
stories.
The members of Kiwanis club were
likewise present. In his address, Mr..
Heron referred to the Kiwanis club
as having practically the same ideals
as tho Rotary, paying them splen-
did compliment.
"To be a Rotarian means to be
one of the gang" Heron said. ut
means to have for your ideal the
Golden Rule. It means you must
strive to live up to the ideal, putting
the Golden Rule in your business play
ing the game square.
Rotary was born in the soul of a
hungry man. A man hungry for hu-
man companionship. That's why
there's a play side to Rotary. This
play spirit is absolutely essential to
mellow these human beings who have

Large and Great Cast in ''The

"The Old Nest, a Reginald Barker
production offered by Goldwyn, which
comes to the Strand Theatre, for three
days, beginning Monday, is perhaps

lie in many season. The story and
the scenario were written by Rupert
Hughes, the direction was handled by
Reginald Barker, and the cast in
cludes the following players: Mary
Alden, Cullen Lands, Louise Lovely,
Helene Chadwick, the famous ed
gar" children, Johnny Jones, Buddy
Messenger and Lucille Ricksen; Maur-
ice B. ("Lefty') Flynn, Molly Ma
lone, Richard Tucker, Nick Cogley,
DWIGHT Crittenden and several others.
The size Of the cast is explained by
the fact that the story starts when
the majority Of the players are still
children and follows them through the
various stages Of their growth. Cliff
ford Robertson, Goldwyn casting di-
rector, declares that "The Old Nest"
gave him the greatest problem that
he has ever had to solve. Besides OBJ
tanning talented players he had to con-

ing. To get them away from being
selfish, self-centered.
"To join the Rotary club means
accepting responsibility of building
our business the Rotary way. That
means we must live up to the club
motto Service above Settle Profits
Most Who Serves Best. We must put
service into our business if we are
going to have business. 1t means
we must be big enough to be little
enough to the big"
"Jamie" Heron won the hearts of
his hearers. He came with his homely
face and his rich, deep throated
Scotch brogue, with his silver tongue
and his big heart, his frank sincere
ity and whole-souled enthusiasm and
the characteristic "eh" with which he
punctuated his talk.
His was the kind of good humor
that comes from the deep wells of
experience in meeting with men, radi-
ating cheer, good nature and philoso.
ply.
1t isn't every city that has Ro-
tary club. 1t isn't every Rotary club
that can get man like Jamie H.
Heron to come from miles away to
speak to the folks.
Rotarian John Howard had several
enjoyable numbers with his high
school orchestra just prior to the ad-
dress and Miss Helen Wilson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Wilson,
in compliment to Mr.. Heron, gave two
very pleasing Scotch dances. Just
after Mr.. Heron took his place before
the audience, he asked the secretary
to read the Rotary roll call and after
the members had stepped up onto the
stage, he instituted the Rotary Clan by
having them take off their coats, turn
ing them wrong side out, tying them
about their bodies as kits, rolling up
their trousers legs and then sing "Old
Mcdonald Has a Farm" He then ex-
planned that Rotarians do such things
so that they may lose their dignity
and become better and truer friends.
Mr.. Heron, who appeared in Devils
Lake the night before, was met at the
station by committee of Rotarians
and was given ride thru the city.
At Riverside park, the new municipal
swimming pool was inspected, which
he pronounced the finest he had yet
seen. He was taken to the high
school which place he inspected and
pronounced the most complete he had
seen anywhere. He spoke to the high
school students, more than 500 of
them, for half an hour.
In the evening, the Rotary club gave
a dinner at the Episcopal dining hall
in his honor, the Rotarians and lad
les being present, together with a few
guests. G. D. Colcord, president of
the Rotary, was chairman, and called
upon Francis Murphy to propose the
toast for the guest to which Mr.. Heron
responded in a pleasing manner.
Aksel Bratsberg proposed a toast to
the ladies and the response was given
by Mrs. w. M. Smart, whose effort
was very clever. Members of the high
school orchestra, twenty in number,
were guests at the banquet and play
ed number Of selections. A num-
Der of songs were sung by the assem-
blage, led by Otto Ellison, Mr.. Kel-
sey presiding at the piano.
Mr.. Heron was entertained at the
home Of DR.. and Mrs. Archie D. Nc
Camel while in the city and left Sat-
urday for Williston to appear that
