+inuallv forming and planning plgger
and better things, not for themselves

material. One might perhaps say
that the Rotary organization Is Cne
highest known non-political, non-re-
Iigious and non-part1san, ana acIual-
1v functioning, organization IN the
world today. And, most certainly ~
institution could have higher or bet
Tor motto than that of the Rotary
which is. ''He profits most who serves
host Nowadays one of the most
noticeable steps in progress by
citv is the establishment and tunc-
itoning of a local Rotary Club. one
might 90 further and still say, ana
with the element of truth entirely
intact that one of the milestones IN
the path of progress prosperity anu
metropolitan achievements IN any
citv is measured largely in this age
nv the fact of a city having such an
organization. The business men OF
Winslow. the residents of the city at

ent the typical business type, ana

1t is practically an example o.
ambiguity to say that every member
of the Rotary Club of Winslow is {
booster. Reverend w L. Martin
Pastor of the Christian Church here
and Chairman of the Publicity Com
mittee said: "It looks to me as i
there is a good outlook for Winslov
in the future. With the prospects o
both oil and irrigation in this i'm
mediate vicinity the development o
either of which should cause a large
increase in the population of thi'
city and naturally it follows logical
ly that this increase vii bring will
it the usual necessary improvements
and advantages. To my mind one o
the crying needs of this communit!
lies in the establishment of some re
f11n %
people-a swimming pool, etc. We
also need more pavement, the laying
of which always fosters civic pride
