Winslow Rotarians were the hosts
at a most enjoyable informal dinner
and reception given in the Ccmmun
ity hall New Years night for the
Rotary-Anns and a number of in
vited guests.

the best of appointment, may be
more aptly called a sumptious ban
quet. The menu included pickles,
olives, celery, oyster cocktail, salt
waters, roast Salt River valley young
tom turkey, cranberry sauce, cream
whipped potatoes, escalloped corn,
lettuce and tomato salad, 1000 Island
dressing, hot tea biscuits, rye bread,
mlnce pie, pumpkin pie and coffee.
A varied program of amusing and
entertaining numbers was given dur
ing the dinner, Jack Gibson acting as
chairman of the meeting. The first
numbers were the opening song and
the invocation by Rev. w. L. Martin.
t. M. Quebedeaux, president of the
Rotary club gave the opening address.
Mr.. Quebedeaux spoke briefly but in
very entertaining manner, proving
that he is a humorist of much ability.
His witty jokes called forth rounds
of applause and laughter from his
auditors. AS a token of their appre-
citation the rotarians presented Mr..
QuebedeauX with a fine gold watch
for his unfailing devotion to The or
ganization during his term as pre-
sident. Mr.. Grady Gammage made
the presentation speech, which was
la glowing summary of the esteem
in which the president is held by his
fellow members. The watch is a
masterpiece of workmanship, the
wheels and jewels being set in
plaster paris.
A selected duet by Mrs. Clyde
Matthie and Mrs: Bruce Matthie was
the next number on the program.

ladies sang a very clever and catchy
mer1iment, dealing with personalities
among the members of Rotary.

Homer Vaughn, Horace Nay and DR..
Gilpin sang "Back to Old Virginia.
with the members and guests joining
in on the chorus. DR.. Gilpin sang
so we'll that he was forced to re-
spond to an urgent request with
"Hail, We're Glad To Be Here.
Mrs Ed Matthews played a very
difficult saXaphone selection, which
was roundly applauded. She re-
sponded to an encore with beautiful
lullaby. The Silent Four, B. B.
Gravel Pit, Bill and Elmer, were
called on for an eXtemporaneous
song. Their rendition caused much
glee, Gravel Pit singing with such
good grace that he was called on to
sing "School Days., which he did,
assisted by the rest of the quartet.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the evening was the distribution
of Christmas presents. Each person
who attended the dinner brought
some present which he did not want,

gifts was an exceedingly merry part
of the program. useless" acted as
