Charles w. Hill who introduced George Vannais, secretary of the Hartford Ro- tary club as the speaker for the day. MT. Vannais stated that frequently the best dinner talks were made by members of the organization. Rotary, he said, does not ask for perfection but does demand inspiration. and gives the individual a chance to grow.
 He then tod of the work done by the Hartford Rotary club to call attention to the needs of the Newington Home for Children. The 112 children at the home. many If them crippled are being helped back to health, that they may be able to go out into the world. At present the buildings are worse than any home where children should be kept and Ro- tarians are interested in seeing that a new home is built, one of fire proof con- struction. In the building now used, a wooden one, the danger of loss of life if a fire breaks out Is great
 One of the greatest things about the home is the fine care the children get Children at the home are happy and their manners are of the best In spite of handicaps the place shines with clean liness. Advance has been made dur ing the past twenty. years in rany lines, but the greatest advance civilization can achieve is to make lie happier for those unforSunates denied the happiness of children who have Barents and have good health The slogan of the late Ex-Pres- ldent Theodore Roosevelt, "A Square Deal. should be used today. Tax-payers in the state are willing tc do their share. but the state should first aid Tn mafcing conditions better
 When the bill for better conditions at NhWinQfNn the state legisl2 2ture, Rotarians should be out in force and demand justice for those poor kiddies, who, although facing the warld greatly handicapped, face 1t with a smile.
 During the past years organizations have sprung uo to make meetings of men or various businesses possible. The one fault with them, however, is tha. they do not meet often enough Rotary. with It's weekly meetings, makes it impossible TOT trade or business iealousies to creep ont. Since time immemorial the breaking or bread has tended to dissipatet distrust, and instead makes friends. The place where the body is nourished' is the place where the soul can be nourished. An other great thing about Rotary is the working Of that organization to better conditions In the home city
