(Continued from Page One.)
he had to be absent, and from Tex
recommendations it looks like Milt
Powers will have to do pantomime
solo stunt when he gets back.
Frank Chisholm had to make two
minute speech on why he isn't going
to the district conference at Tucson
this month. 1t was a moving talk.
Bill Switzer escaped speaking be-
cause he's going to the conference.
Probably, also, the president let him
off partly because Bill has a nose
skinned up where an automobile tire
exploded against it last Sunday.
Joe Dolan deftly evaded speaking
on what particular thing he believes
Flagstaff most needs and how Rotary
can help get it by promising to tell
all about it next week, when he will
be chairman.
C. B. Wilson, requisitioned to ham
die the same topic, said what Rotary
needs is more new Rotarians.
Tex Mackey was caught again when
the fire alarm blew and he had to
make a report on the fire, which he
hauls brick and sand to which the
engine is now going with great dis
patch and looseness." For his friy-
olity he was fined.
Hugh Wheat evaded sustained
flight of oratory by passing the buck
to Sid Gassman and paying a fine,
and then Sid, who used Joe Dolan's
excuse, saying he also is soon to be
chairman, was handed another fine.
Ray Babbitt shuffled around so
much before he got started talking
that he had to be reminded he wasn't
called on for buck and wing dance;
then he eloquentiy implored city
council to profit by the example set
by the sheriff, who, he said, is using
confiscated whiskey as an automo-
bile non-freezing compound. Ray
thought some of it ought to be used
in the fire engine.
Bill McClurken pathetically pleaded
that Rotary try to get him excused
from jury duty so ne can go to the
Tucson conference. Bill was on jury
three weeks last sumer and says his
sins are not serious enough to make
him a permanent courtesan.
Fred Green, by request, spoke of
the Colorado river pact ard said that
as the state legislature was then
considering it, an expression from
Rotary might be valuable to our leg
islature. ]. C. Brown said he didn't
believe the legislature will take any
action on the pact, but will continue
to postpone taking a defininte stand.
President Koch suggested, in view OF
the possibility that some of the mem
bers might not be familiar with all
the terms of the pact, that each study
it and then, next morning, give Sec
retary Jimmy Lewis his vote for or
against it. Many of the members
polled votes for the pact Immediately
following the meeting.
The count next morning showed
that practically every member voted
and all the votes were for the pact.
A telegram to Pat Moran, chair
man of the "On-to- Tucson" commit
tee, asked all Rotarians to bring their
own wives and to wear colored glasses
as a protection against optical strain
! when the six dancing dryads appear.
George Harrington was asked what
he meant by his advertisement in N.
A. N. S. Pine in which he said his
curling irons were good for bobbed
or any other kind of hair which he
guaranteed. He explained that he
guarantees both hair and irons.
