DELTA ROTARY sJs
ORGANIZED WEDNESDAY

Local people are taking consider
able interest in the Rotary club
which was organized Wednesday.
The officers elected at Wednesdays
meeting to guide the organization IN
it's first year. are: Mortimer Stone
president; Arthur D. Fairbanks, vice
president; John w. Davis, secretary;
Arthur NJ Mathews, treasurer; w.
Scott Cleland. sergeant at arms.
Although there are Rotary clubs
nearby, many people are unfamiliar
with the organization and the prin-
ciples which are fundamental in its
structure. Rotary came into being
with group of four men seated
around an office table. AS it happen
ed, each one of the four represented
different calling, one, coal dealer,
one a mining operator, one mer-
chant tailor, and the fourth, an attor'
ney. The attorney. Paul p. Harris
was the one who first advanced the
idea Of forming a club different from
any other club then known, and to
him belongs the credit for starting
the great Rotary movement.
The meeting of the four at which 1t
was decided to organize a club. that
now historic meeting of the four orig
inal Rotarians. was held February
23rd, 1905. in Chicago. 1t was decid-
cd to invite to membership just one
man from each different business or
profession.
Recognizing the commercial basis
of modern life as a necessary incident
in human evolution. The Rotary club
is organized to express that proper
relation between private interests
and the fusion OF private interests
which constitutes society. To accom-
plish this purpose more effectively,
the principle of limited membership
has been adopted. The basis of club
membership insures the representa-
ton OF all interests and the domina-
ton Of none in the consideration OF
public questions relating to business
On account of its limited membership,
the Rotary club does not constitute
itself the voice OF the entire communi.
ty on questions OF general Importance.
but its action on such questions is Of
great influence in advancing the civic
and business welfare Of the com,
1unity.
Tho objects OF the Rotary club ~
sef forth In the constitution Of Rotary
clubs are to encourage and foster high
ethical standards in business and pro
fessions: the ideal OF service ss the
basis OF all worthy enterprise; the
active interest OF every Rotarian in
the civic. commercial, social. and
moral welfare OF his community; the
development Of a broad acquaintance.
ship as an opportunity for service as
we'll as an aid to success; the inter.
change OF ideas and of business
methods as n means OF increasing the
efficiency and usefulnsse of Rotari.
ans; and the recognition of the
"orthiness of nil legitimate occupa.
