Foley Responds
81 am an honorary member Of the
st. Paul and the Pasadena Rotary
clubs, said James w. Foley. To be
a regular member of Rotary I under
stand that man has to have two
friends and ten dollars. Did you
ever hear of an Irishman having two
friends and ten dollars at the same
time. If he keeps the ten dollars
he loses the two friends.
81 come from a delightful country
back to North Dakota. But North
Dakota is also Il delightful country.

ago when four years old. | recOllcct
territorial days. In 1881 | saw the
Northern Pacific bridge tested out
and today l drove over the wonderful
new bridge which links the east with
the west slope.
"The great value of Rotary as
see it, is that it brings men togeth-
err; brings out the best that is in
them and an organization that can
do that is one that we all need and
one that best serves the needs of
today
Mr.. Foley recited Il little jingle
$50 Get 1t" which illustrated nicely
the spirit that vitalizcs Rotary.
