follows:
"We don't have birthdays any more,
nor are we sgrand-dads,' but even so
we hope you may. Wish you all a
continual and merry Christmas and
happy new year and success IN Ror
tary undertakings.
With the card was a box Of tine
cigars, the gift Of these charming Ia
dies, who were guests at one of the
recent Rotary meetings, and though
the cigars are all gone now, there re-
mains the fragrant memory Of the
spirit that prompted sending them.
Then there was another welcomed
remembrance, received through c. B.
Wilson from Miss Florence Berchtold,
who, as former domestic science in
structor at the Normal school here
had been responsible for many good
lunches spread before the Rotary
bunch. Her gift was a big crate OF
assorted fruits and nuts, which will
be discussed at the big Rotary dinner
next Friday night. Her telegram to
Mr.. Wilson read:
"Have sent a sample of Christmas
cheer from this part of the country,
Corvallis, Oregon), to Flagstaff Ro-
tarians. Greetings and best wishes
to your family and the Rotary club"
And President NJ. !. Powers, exiled
over in Los Angeles, loneliest spot in
lonely state, sent to each Rotarian
nifty little leather bound volume,
entitled: "Read 'em and Weep" Vol
ume TIL"
In lieu of leaves each contained two
galloping dominoes, so that Doc Tex
Mackey never heard a word of the
ensuing program. Milt sent warm
personal greetings with the memen-
toes.
Governor Allie Martin Of El Paso
and his wife sent card conveying
holiday cheer to the club.
+ Governor Allie also sent a letter

I ings last month. (This weeks meet
ing was also attended 100 per cent?

bedfellows, had been appointed chair
man of the county drive for the
| Thomas Jefferson memorial. Pats
generosity in defiance of his political
belief was reciprocated when some OF
