BY L. r. Martin.

BY l.. /. Martin.
There is no wind Of March which
cuts half go deep AS the unkind
words Of friend Better one true
friend than n host Of kinsfolk.
{. +. (CliD Hunt, as chairman
~ entertainment committee for
Wednesday luncheon used good
judgment in selecting his talent. u
was a snappy program and one that
will do lots Of good and viii be re-
membered. When you have good
speakers that say something and
every word Is driven home FOR the
good % Is intended TO do, you 20
away knowing that you have not
paid six bits for u luncheon, but
Tor the food for thought you take
away with you. You generally hear
something worth while. Just enough
good natured jollying 20 put a
little spice and pep into the meet
ings.
Lu) l.. r. Martin, was called up
on 90 introduce the visitors and call
the roll Calling the roll IN Rotary
means that you must introduce each
member, giving his name, nick name
and his business or classification.
Roscoe Wilson, the Club lecturer
In his usual impressive manner, in
itiatcd the new members into the
club. These lecturers are made to
new members for their cnlighten-
mcnt as TO what Rotary stands ior.
They should study Rotary code Of
ethics and they cannot help getting
the Rotary spirit. The new mem
bers taken in were Chris Harwell,
J. r. Germany and +. n. Payne.
These men are good timber for Ro-
tarians and will make good mem
bers.
c. l.. Griffin made an announce
ment in behalf Of the Chamber of
Commerce, Junior Chamber Of Com
merce the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs
"a 20 the banquet given for the
benefit u the travelling men coming
into Lubbock
Dolph "a. 3D. was his own two
minute man and told ~ the finan-
cial conditions IN the east, also con
ditions regarding prohibition. Dolph
Is just back from New York, whore
he has been doing his spring buying
He attended four Rotary luncheons
while away, one at New York, Chi
cago, 81. Louis and Fort Worth Adj
vised that all Rotarians read Sam
uel G. Blythe's article in the Satur-
day Evening Post Of March 9TH, on
the Booze Complex.
Bonnie came In with a bunch Of
song books under his arm and you
could see Briggs gathering some Of
the boys up at the head Of the
banquet table TO spring the new
songs on the club, completely ignor-
ing the question why they did not
pass the books around 10 some of
the members who could sing. OF
course il did not sound 80 bad TO
the regulars who are used 10 that
kind Of singing and we applauded
when they sang to every member
who came in late, calling the Clubs
attention TO MS being tardy, and
Highpocket running up and assessing
him a fine Of l0c for interrupting
the Club with that class Of singing.
DR.. II. w. Virgin. certainly took
the wind out Of their sails when he
said Il was awful to have 10 listen
to that kind Of music, Peterman
resigned from the quartette on the
spot.
DR.. II. W. Virgin Of Amarillo,
made the principle talk and COM
manded the attention Of all present.
You would not have TO be told that
he was a member Of the Rotary
Club, for he has the true Rotary
Spirit. His commentator on the
manner in which our esteemed lect-
urcr took In the new members shows
that Rotary means something 70
him. In speaking OF the rapid growth
Of our city he admonished us not
to forget God in the building, for a
city built with hut God rs the foun-
dalton would be, (no matter how
beautifully like orchids, possibly
beautiful but would have the odor
Of cartons. A community must be
built on God 20 obtain results, 80
II Il true In Rotary or anything else
worth while. Come again Doctor,
we like you and we like the way
you talk.
DR.. r. b. Hutchison, president Of
the kiwanis Club. was visitor and
made a short talk, gssuring the Ro-
tarinns that his Club wished 10
work hand in hand with Rotarians
at anything for the good Of Lub-
book. That Is the spirit and ! be-
lieve voice the sentiment Of every
Rotarian when I say, that every
Rotarian looks with favor upon the
organization Of the kiwanis Club
and will be glad 90 cooperate with
them for the upbuilding Of Lubbock
and TO put kiwanis and Rotary
erIrif in business
