one that every Rotarian should pom
der over and take home TO himself.
Among some of the things touched
upon and left with us as food for
thought were: Our attendance is
only about rs per cent when It should
not fall below SO per cent. In order
that members may have themselves
counted as present, when away from
home, they should take an official
directory and their visiting card with
them and attend luncheon wherever
they are visiting II there is a Rotary
Club in the place they happen to be
on Rotary day. The home Secretary
viii be notified Of your visit and you
attendance counted at home.
He dwelt sometime on our Rotary
Code Of ethics: Rotarism means some
thing besides getting together for a
luncheon. Let every member sell Ro-
tarism to himself and the town in
which he lives will soon see there is
something behind a bunch Of busi-
ness men who have the Rotary spirit
besides a good time, and get in be-
hind, they viii know it is a propo-
sition they may support. Study your
code Of ethics in pamphlet No. IL.
His talk along the line Of con-
struction work was fine. He cs-
pecially urged that we keep up our
work with the boys for the boys of
