ROTARY LUNCHEON
FRIDAY, JULY 10Th

JUN SDIh
This Is the time of year for vaca-
ton trips so it Is rather difficult to
secure regular attendance in any or
ganization that runs through the
summer months. However, Rotarians
can keep up their attendance record
in their home organization by visit
Ing Rotary Clubs elsewhere In their
travels. and that Is what our Ro-
tarians who are off on their vacations
are doing.
In spite of vacations. hot weather,
and numerous other considerations.
there was a good attendance at the
luncheon last Friday. Rotarian
King. secretary OF the club, was abb
sen on a fishing trip at Medicine
Bow Lodge. 1t developed that he
had either taken the songbooks with
him Or neglected to turn them over
to the acting secretary, SO 1t seemed
that music would be q minus guam
tity, but son-leader Brit" explained
that song books were unnecessary.
The crowd was soon singing as well
as ever, demonstrating to the song
leader and themselves that they had
learned the Rotary songs by heart.
Ouc lchluIc VI luC SiuSlA6 was SuO
addition of a new song to our re-
pertoire. composed by Miss Rae
Blood. Both the words and the
great hit. We are greatly indebted
to Miss Blood for this contribution.

of the Boys Work committee, then
outlined his plans for the coming
year. The educational work of the
Rotary Club is n of its fundament-
al principles. Dean" told about the
work that he had started in attempt
ing to establish a community center
or recreational club. This is a dis
tinct need in this community for
work of this kind. and the Rotarians
pledged their full support to it. We
learned that Dean" has recently
turned down an offer of a better po-
sition than his present one, in order
to continue the work for young
people which he has just begun here
in addition to his regular duties.
We are indeed glad to hear of this
decision and We wish him much
success in this work.
In connection with the education
al work of the club, 1t may be men
toned that an educational Fund"
is being established by the Rawlins
Rotary Club for the purpose of en-
abling some worthy graduate of the
Rawlins High School to go to col
lege. who find 1t difficult to go to
college without some financial assist
ance In this way, as well as many
others, Rotary seeks to foster, en-
courage and advance the cause of
education.
Rotarian Armstrong then dis
cussed the road situation to the

were presented and discussed and a
resolution was passed by the club
recommending to the State Highway
Commission that the road north
