The Newberry Rotary Club was de-
lightfully entertained on Thursday
evening by Rotarian Hal Kohn at his
home on Johnstone street. In addl-
ton to the members of the club, there
were number of other guests pre-
sent. The meeting was held on the
lawn, which is ideally adapted for
such a gathering,and there, in the
mellow glow of burning tapes, the
club was called to oder by President
Haskell Kibler, and began to discuss
most Informally any and all matters
that happened to be mentioned.
AS the principal matters to come
before the club was a report on the
international Rotary Convention,
which was held last week in Los An
geles, the clubs delegate, Zack
Wright, and the alternate, George
Summer, were called upon to tell the
local Rotarians about everything they
did since they left Newberry for Los
Angeles three weeks ago. This they
did in most interesting and enter
tanning manner, except that they
didn't tell everything, of course. The
narrative of their travels, including
the little side trip from Ell Paso to
Juarez, Mexico, and their description
of the great convention was listened
to with the keenest interest by the
Rotarians and their guests. The
greatest disappointment was express
ed by Rotarian Zack Wright over his
failure to induce Mary Miles Minter
to leave Hollywood and make her fu-
ture home in Newberry, but, accord
ing to the stories of the two Rotar-
ians, this failure on Rotaria Wright's
part was somewhat recompensed by
their stay in Ell Paso, Texas, and the
above mentioned side-trip to Juarez,
Mexico Just what was the drawing
card in those two cities was not dis
closed by the returned Rotes. Suf-
flee to say that Rotarians Wright and
Summer returned to Newberry bub-
bling over with the Rotary spirit and
singing the praises of this great in
fluence throughout the world. 1t is
needless to say that the report of
these two Rotarians on the work of
the great convention will greatly
stimulate the Rotary movement in
Newberry.
Delicious punch, ice cream and ci-
gars were served during the evening
and before, during and after the re-
freshments were served Except when
Rotarians Zack Wright and George
Summer were delighting the Rotes
with their convention reports) full
and free discussions of anything and
everything were indulged in by Ro-
tarians and guests. 1t was, indeed,
a most pleasant occasion, and now the
Rotarians are looking forward with a
great deal of pleasure to the next
meeting, which will be held Tuesday
evening at o'clock at the Newberry
Hotel. At that time the members of
the Newberry Fire Department will
be the guests of the club.
Tuesday evening at eight o'clock
the Rotarians will be host to the Ex-
celsior Hose Company, which is bet
ter known to Newberrians as the Vol
unteer Fire department. This dinner
will be served in the naming dining
room of Newberry hotel and is looked
forward to with great interest both by
club will be given in honor of the fire
this special meeting one of the finest
programs ever presented by the local
the guests and the Rotarians, for at
boys. 1t is not often that program
is given out in advance by the pro-
gram committee but this one is so
good that they have been willing to
let the members and guests know
what to xpect.
The lead off, of course after the
dinner has been consumed, will foe
allotted to Zack Wright, who is past
president of the Rotary Club and also
a great friend of the fire department.
His subject will be "Me and Mary
Miles Minter." Then Colonel Walter
Hunt, the only honorary member of
club, which is quite distinction, will
make talk on the "Newberry Fire
Department" and since he was the
first president of this organization he
is going to sketch it's history from its
inception on down to the present
time and no one is more able to do
