The hands Of time turned back
ward Friday evening for seventy
five members of the Rotary Club,
and these men who have in most
cases fought the battles of big bust
ness. industry. and the professions
through many winters until their
hair has become silvered like the
SHOWS, found that in their hearts
they were just as young, just as
eXuberant, and with the same sim
pie pleasures giving them supreme
contentment as the seventy-five
splendid, clean limbed, bright faced
youths, who were their special guests
at the annual Boys Night obser-
vance of the club. -
The supper meeting was held in
the banquet hall of the Augusta
House, and the tables were placed
in three long rows running the en-
tire length of the room, and as the
big and little, Johns. Charles, Bills,
Dicks and others took their seats it
was an inspiring demonstration, and
one could not help but feel that the
future citizens of our community,
State and nation are being given adj
vantages for Learning the true spirit
of human brotherhood in such as
oSllOidSCS, were O1ly ACQUIRED
by rough contact with the world by
their elders.
The youngsters accepted their
privileges in being guests of the
Rotarians in most appreciative
manner, and there Is little doubt but
that they absorbed much of the
spirit of the meeting through the
short talks by several members of
the club, and that they went away
from the Rotary session with q good
conception of what the Rotary mot
to of Service Above Self truly
stands for.
Resolutions of Respect
Every man and boy of the 151
present at the meeting became SER
ious for the moment of silent respect

! Barnekov, who was onegof the char

Club when it was organized eight
years ago, and who is the first men,

Rotarian A. w. Brooks presented the

which was unanimously adopted:
"A man has passed! Honest, loyal,
! Supremacy endowed with courtesy
and hospitality; uniformly cheerful,
and serene under disappointment;
faithful to every trust: his honor

In the last, 20 years weekly rest
