himself were going to Winslow with
Governor Christy the next night to
attend Rotary there, and they were:
Billy Switzer, Pat Moran, Joe Dolan,
George Harrington, Bill McClurken,
Carl Mayhem, Lynn McMullen, George
Becker, Rev. c.. Vabre.
The Winslow club is getting out a
weekly publication, "The Sandstorm,"
and sent challenge to "The Mop"
to hustle or take their dust.
Carl Mayhew was introduced as
chairman for the day, and though he
got bad start by calling on Del
| Strong to tell of his recent visits to
the Baltimore, Charlottesville and
Portsmouth Rotary clubs, otherwise
did splendidly.
Ray Simpson, manager of the J. G..
! Penney store, was called on by Carl
for talk, and said:
Your chairman of today few DAYS
ago asked me to give some of the rea-
/ sons for the success of the J. c.. PEN
ney Co., and therefore | will base my
remarks on cooperation, for the rea-
| son that every one of our organization
realizes that that has been the fun
| damental reason for the success of
| Mr.. Penney and his associates.
i "Mr Penney had big idea, but
had he not been able to instill the
spirit of cooperation in his associates
his organization never would have
had beginning, to say nothing of it's
present standing and its future"
Bill McClurken, who had to give a
| talk about life insurance, brought
| forth some good ideas, among them
| that life insurance is social service,
which accounts for the present high
regard people have for it. He spoke
| of its usefulness in stimulating thrift,
| in business assistance and in family
| protection. The first insurance COM
pany, he said, was organized as
! Presbyterian ministers fund in 1879,
and is still in operation. Life insur-
ance here has kept pace with the gen
eral development of this country and
there are now 266 companies in the
United States that operate on the le-
gal reserve plan. Only a few have
failed and in those cases their insur-
ance was taken over by other COM
panies. Bill has been with the Mu-
tual Life of New York for eight years
and said he enjoys the work and the
opportunity it affords for doing good.
Chairman Mayhem asked John
Thomas if he though Bill was adver-
tising his own business, and when
John said yes, Carl fined him 25 cents
for slandering Bill.
Rev George Vernon Harris of the
Flagstaff Episcopal church, gave
recitation, when Adam Was a Kid"
which was much appreciated.
Mr.. Mayhem said there's too much,
talk of our snow and cold weather
here, and that it does us lot of
harm He said such talk is unfair,
considering the delightful winter eli
mate we really do have, and urged
the members to remember in the fu-
ture the wonderful winter of 1922-23
and not to forget to talk about it. He
called on George Harrington to tell
how he would direct tourist from
his office at the electric light plant
to the tourist camp grounds George
did pretty well. Mr. Mayhew's point
was to emphasize the needs of signs,
in town, and east and west of town.
He believes we should have pic
turesque log or stone building down
town as tourist information bureau
and that the various organizations
here would be glad to detail mem
bers, different one every day, each
to put in a day there answering tour
lists questions and giving them red
hot information about what we have
around here.
Miss Elsa Myers, at the piano, and
Nelson Saunders furnished delightful
music, Mr.. Saunders singing solo
and both duet.
