ligion i'm business. Your business

How Albuquerque Ranks.
The Twenty first district is mad
up of three states. Wyoming, Colo.
lrado and New Mexico. Albuquer-
que has the third largest and the
fourth oldest club in the district
Governor Scrlbner, In a conference
with Pete Hervey, president ot
Chicago Rotary; Allen D. Albert
former president: Paul p. Harris
founder of Rotary and Chess Perry
international secretary, discovered
that the district has met and solved
as many problems as any other
district In America. The Twenty.
first has shown its mettle by work
rather than by advertising. Co
operation with other activities, In
stead of competition, has been the
watchword
"Education In Rotary"
| According to Governor Scribner
the greatest need of all the clubs
is an education in Rotary.
| Education in Rotary Is know
ing how to put the oil where the
isqueak is, he quoted. The thing
that is holding most of the Rotary
clubs back is the Roster Rotarian''
the man who does as little as he
can and remains member.
! Anyone selected for member
ship should feel sense of obliga
ltion, If you are getting on the
shelf, get out. A Rotarian should
give altruistic. sincere service at
all times"
