An excellent program-and an
equally excellent luncheon-was
dished out to the Rotary club on
Tuesday afternoon at it's regular fort
nightly meeting, which was held in
the grill room of the Newberry hotel.
President Haskell Kibler was charge
d'affairs and he welded the gavel IN
a most parliamentary manner. The
program committee, with Rotarlan
Jas. Kinard as chairman, turned over
to the president a mos interesting
nroeram. which was rendered "ac-
cording to Hoyle." Of course, the
program committee was not response
Bile for everything that bobbed up
during the course Of the luncheon,
for it is a matter of impossibility for
any committee to hold Rotarians Ben
Cromer and Earle Babb-the former
with his ready witticisms and the lat
ter with his music and stunts-down
to a ''set program" That just SIM
ply can't be did"-and there is no
telling ever when either of these
Rotes is going to start something.
Rotarian Hal Kohn, the efficient
secretary Of the Rotary club, was on
the program for a paper on MY Vo-
cation" Now, of course, when Hal
arose to deliver this preachment, ev-
erybody thought that treatlce on
books, art goods, ETC., was forthcom-
ing; a second guess would have been
a narrative on the trials and tribula-
tions of a newspaper correspondent,
in which work this Rotarian now ex-
GELS. But, not so! Instead, Rotarian
Kohn just lived up to his soubrlquet
of. "Dollar Down" and proceeded to
tell the club what it meant to be sec
retary of the Newberry Rotary club.
1t was very interesting paper-read
in very interesting aul entertain
ing manner.
Then Rotarian Sid Derrick launch
ed right into, ''Talk On Rotary" and
the way he handled his subject was
proof conclusive to the Rotes that he
knows Rotary. This Rotarian just
couldn't omit reference to ''jolllty'
and Solidarity" which are two of his
pet themes-and he knows how to
expatiate on them, too. Everybody
knows that Rotarian Derrick Is going
to "say mouthful'' when he gets up
to speak, and he did on this occa-
sion. The talk was greatly enjoyed.
At the last luncheon, the club had
as it's guests the senior class OF New
berry college. AS a ball game was
scheduled for that afternoon, howev-
er, it was impossible for the members
of the team to be present. The four
members of the team, Messrs. Shealy.
Haltiwanger, Luther and Derrick, and
Coach dutch" Mclean, who could
not be with their classmates on that
occasion, were present at Tuesdays
luncheon. Prof. Gilbert P. Voigt
of the college faculty, was elso a
guest at the luncheon. Short talks
were made by Messrs. Derrick, Nc
Lean and Voigt in a most happy man
ner.
Of course, Rotarian Babb had to
put on exhibition for the Rotarians
and their guests some of the musi-
cal(?) talent of the club, and Rota-
rians James Kinard, Ben Dorrity and
Harry Dominick proceeded to lead in
the inhiction of few of the old
timers on the helpless gathering.
The election of delegates to the in
ternational Rotary convention, which
will be held in Los Angeles next
month, was then entered into. Rota-
rian Zach Wright was elected dele
gate and Rotarian George Summer,
alternate. Both of these Rotarian5
will attend the convention and will
De escorted as far as Ashevilie on
May 30th by bunch of local Rotes
in automobiles The party will be the
guests of the Asheville Rotary club
at luncheon on that date.
Tuesdays luncheon was most en-
joyable affair-and now the Rotes
can hardly wait for next meeting
