The Coconino sun., 1923-02-09

Koch for reading that and other mis-
sives to the club; her own husband
because he had compelled her to
write to the club that he had no
faults; G. B. Wilson for various of
fehses committed when he read
poem about himself which had been
handed him to read, the charges on
which the fines were collected being
that he'd been sailing under false pre-
i tences in claiming he is lawyer,
blowing about his profession, mis-
pronouncing words in the poem and
reading it too slowly; Milt Powers
!. for not taking full minute in telling
/ of his recent New York debut; Bill
4 McClurken because he'd proposed
marriage unsuccessfully So times (it
apparently being the chairwoman's
idea that being refused must be evi-
dence of un-success); Frank Chisholm
because his picture is exposed in
front of Carl Mayhew's gallery; Carl
because he isn't showing a picture of
the Rotary club instead Of that of it's
kewpidest member; John Brown for
not having missed meeting since he
became Rotarian. Whenever the
chairman wasn't filming someone else
she imposed one on her husband.
This filming naturally evoked num-
erous arguments. Governor Christy
tried to evade payment and had it
doubled on him. President Koch read
from the bylaws that no chairman
can out of spite maliciously fine the
president more than so cents for
something he's done while on duty
and was reminded that he wasn't on
duty when he committed his faults
He was fined again when the charm
ing sergeant at arms said he'd forg-
ed her name to the communication
read at the New Years meeting
about her husband and purporting to
have been written by her. In despair
he paid, wailing that if there were
decent lawyer among those present
he'd fight the case.
Ed Babbitt was ordered to tell
Ford joke and said he couldn't joke
about them because he sold 'em.
Several letters were introduced.
written by wives of members in por-
trayal of their husbands weaknesses
and those shown up in that manner
were Fred Breen, Sid Gassman, Lynn
McMullen and Hugh Wheat. President
Koch was compelled in such an arbi- |
trary manner to read the letters that |
ne retaliated by taking away the
chairman's gavel and handing her
2O-pound sledge-hammer to use in it's /
stead.
Milt Powers described the contrast |
between the way he enjoyed himself |
IN New York and the way he does here |
IN parable form. That very morning
he took part in two dialogues on the
street here that he couldn't have ta-
ken part in in New York They were
Hello, Milt; Hello, Jim," and "Hel-
10, John; Hello, Milt."
The music was genuinely good and
genuinely enjoyed. Miss Catherine
McMullen, in vocal solos, Miss Cath
crime Beckwith accompanying; Miss
Lucretia McMullen and Miss Catherine
Beckwith in ukelele and saxophone
duets; Miss Martha BurnheIm in vo-
cal solos with Miss Lucille Koch yac-.
companying. Each of these charming,
pretty pairs was encored.
President Koch announced that two
men are in the process of regenera-
ton into members of Rotary - Ray
Simpson the J. G. Penney store man
ager, and Earl c. Slipher of the
Lowell observatory scientific staff.
He urged as many members as pos
sible and their wives to attend the
Rotary meeting at Winslow Thursday
night of this week and the organiza-
ton meeting at Holbrook tonight. He
Mrs. McMullen on the
capable, interesting and especially
fine" meeting. He introduced Gov
srnor Christy who urged as many as
,an to attend the district conference i.
n Tucson next month and also to :
AXE their wives, and struck popu-
ar chord when he paid tribute to the
lnselfish work and personality of !
PRESIDENT Koch and said he "hopes we !.
Ieep on having Kochs all over this !,
district"
The president had Pat Moran, !!
hartman of the "on-to-T Tucson COM
nittee, stand up. then gently grilled
nm for getting mixed up in one of
us letters between Tucson and No :
