The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-05-02

the main purposes Of Rotary should
be the narrowing of this gulf which
lies between the town and country
citizens. Common sympathy be-
tween them is necessary, and this
can be best brought about by whole
hearted cooperation. Friendship Is
founded on respect, and gained thru
cooperation. And il is by co-opera-
ton alone that the community can
benefit as a whole. II each Rotar-
ian would try 20 cultivate close
friendship with the farmers, II would
help a great deal in bringing the
community closer together.
A short and very complimentary
speech was made by Mr.. Geo. L. Min
ter Of Abilene, who was visiting
Lubbock on a short business trip.
Keen told the club a few reasons
why Lubbock has a grin coming. p
a few of these being the recent good
rains, the fact that Lubbock has such
good Rotary club, kiwanis cluo,
live, active Chamber of Commerce,
splendid Junior Chamber Of Com
merce, the great Improvement IN 10
cal conditions, and the fact that ov-
cry well-posted person in Texas or
almost anywhere else knows and rec
Ognizes the fact that Lubbock is
Furnishing, prosperous. attractive
little city, with wonderful future
before IL.

meeting, so | shall start out along
the same line. Now isn't II a grand
and glorious privilege 70 read the
Lubbock Avalanche? | thought our
retiring secretary would say, isn't
il a grand and glorious thing to have
a Farm Journal | am going TO say
that TO me il has been grand and
glorious feeling TO be a Rotarian, and
also to be associated with you gentle
men as a Rotarian and as a citizen
of Lubbock. II has also been
grand and glorious privilege to have
been your first president, and want
to thank you for having given me
this privilege, and also 10 thank each
one Of you for making the club what
IL is like a club that will do its
part when called upon. Some people
in some places seem TO think that a
club is merely a place 10 eat, and do
not derive any real benefit from their
membership in it, but that fact Is
not true Of our club. This motto
Service above Self He profits most
who serves best, has been observed
by every member of this club, and
has been "a wonderful help.
II would not be becoming to un-
dertake at this time % enumerate the
things that this club has put over;
but one Of the most important things
10 has done is to bring forty-five men
as Rotarians, together in such way
that We have become better acquaint-
ed than we have ever been before.
Before we organized, although we all
knew the faces around town, and
we're acquainted with each other in
a way, yet we knew nothing Of the
problems that confronted each man
in his daily life. But after this Ro-
tary Club was organized, and each
man was called upon TO tell the other
members Of his own individual prob
lens, We began 10 realize that each
one Of Us prospers in proportion TO
the degree our fellOwman prOspers.
II Is now my pleasure 20 introduce
10 you our new Officers. First we
shall start with our new president,
Jed. Next, our vice-presideni, Ros-
coe. who Is In Amarillo today trying
