ON CIVIC DUTY
'Peg the Calamity Howler' Ad.
vises Paul Trigg; Labor
Union Men Guests.

The speaker at the Rotary club
luncheon Wednesday was Paul Trigg
Of Lewistown.
Rotarian Trigg, who is sales man
ager for the Montana Flour Mills Co.,
gave an exceedingly practical talk upon
the Spirit of Rotary" its application
to the principles which should guide
the life of Rotarian and further how
it ought to work out in the state OF
Montana at the present time. The
speaker made reference to the motto
of Rotary which reads Service, not
Self" and said that he often had
thought the wording might well be
changed to read Service and Self
for the reason that every man at GER
tain times in his life is moved to do
the best that is in him. Therefore, it
is entirely proper to interpret this
motto as one impelling Rotarian to
add self to his service and this is the
only way in which service can reach
its highest attainment. he said.
Bring Out Best in Man.
The principles of Rotary urge the
bringing out of the finest elements
that are in man, declared the speak
er. There is no place for the pessi-
mist in Rotary and there is no place
for the man who will not do his part.
The man who does thing by proxy
does not properly apprehend this add
ing of self to service. A man in Ro-
tary must see beyond the rim of dol
lar and know that there are. other
things in the world that are to be pre-
ferred and that are more worth the
while. The speaker declared that we
are going to get over this ''jazz- Jag
of money making which we have been
going through in the United States
during the last few years.
Urges Faith in Montana.
Rotarian Trigg pleaded for faith in
Montana and suggested that every Ro-
tary club peg the calamity howler and
help to reestablish this state through
service and confidence because in this
way we may add self to service and
reach out into those things that are
living and really vital in the up-bulld-
ing of the commonwealth.
Rotarian McCole gave an earnest
plea for the legislation which is now
being proposed in congress whereby
the United States may care for It's
disabled soldiers in an adequate way.
He cited instances in which we have
shamefully failed to take care OF men
who have been without means and who
have been unable to gain livelihood
until restored to health and strength.
At the end Of his talk. Rotarian Nc
Cole moved that the Great Falls Ro--
tary club urge upon the congressional
delegation fer Montana support for
those measures Of relief which have
been pronosed by the American Legion
in behalf in disabled soldiers and
sailors. The motion was carried.
