Waterville Mayor
Attended Rotary
Convention in West

mayor Herbert &. Libby, who re-
turned to Watcrville, Monday, where
he attended the convention of Rotary
International as a member of the res
olutions committee. reported a most
enjoyable time. Not only did he at
tend the interesting sessions of the
convention but he saw much of the
west and of his trip he said yester-
day:
The convention itself was a NAM
moth affair handled by the Rotary
Club and citizens of Denver in a most
satisfactory way. Ten thousand peo-
pie gathered for the ,hve-day meeting,
representing every State in the
Union and some 30 nations from over
seas. The keynote of every address
was that of friendship and fellowship
which should some day eventuate in
a peaceful living together of the peo-
pies Of the world. There were many
distinguished men from overseas
who spoke at the various sessions,
and if anything their desire for bet
ter understanding was more forceful-
" expressed than that sounded by
the speakers from our own country.
1T was a rare privilege for me to
serve on the resolutions committee
The committee itself was composed of
five men who hailed from Nova Sco-
tia, Georgia. Illinois, Colorado, and
Maine. We were in almost continu-
Gus session from Thursday. June 10,
to Friday. June IS. Conferences were
frequent between this committee and
the International board of directors.
while scores of men from all over
the country appeared before the COM
nlittee to present arguments in. IA
vor or against the 20 resolutions upon
which the committee finally reported.
The far-reaching questions and the
difficult problems affecting Rotary in
its international aspects were discuss
ed and re-discussed, and. / came away
from Denver with a more compre-
hensive understanding of what Ro-
tary actually is.
Denver is delightful city Of $780,
900 people, progressive, thoroughly
awake to its opportunities, clean as
a whistle, and with climate unsur-
passed. 1 do not believe there is an
other city in the country more thor
oughly imbued with the spirit of old
fashioned hospitality. Homes were
opened, money out of the city treas

ury generously given the great sta
dunn made availableF and everywhere
on the streets automobiles in the
hundreds were marked For the use
Of visitors Ten thousand people
went away from Denver singing the
praises Of the city and her people.
1.-THE most thrilling experience
apart from the convention itself was
the automobile climb up Pixies Peak.
We did not enjoy the experience of
swinging around sharp turns three
miles up a mountain slope. far
above the clouds and the timber
line, when a simple miscalculation
by the driver would have plunged
us thousands of feet into the rocky
abyss. A heavy snow storm set in
before we reached the summit and
during the last mile of the nerve
along narrow road between snow
walls of ten feet and more. Soon
after reaching the top the snow
storm ceased, the sun came out, and
we could look down upon soft roll
Ing clouds, and far across an ex-
panse of mountainous country that
defles any words of description.
1.-THE spectacular pageant with
1000 participants witnessed by 30,
600 people who packed the new
stadium Of the University Of Den
yer; the wild west exhibit at Jack
and by Indian tribes of Wyoming
and by Indian tribes mostly from
Montana; and a days trip to Col
orado Springs ending with a trip to
the Cave of the Winds and the
climb up Pixies Peak and numerous
public receptions. made complete a
memorable convention.
Il never visit the cities and states
Of the Middle West that l do not
return home with a deeper appreci-
alton Of our own state. We possess
a vast number Of natures blessings
that the western states sorely lack
the woods and the rivers and the
lakes and the rocky Atlantic sea-
coast. Nature has been good to us.
But I am afraid our people lack
somewhat of the faith and the
courage asd the vision and the spirit
to overcome that characteriZeS our
western people. Out there they
lacked trees for shelter upon the
vast western plains, but in rs years
time they have succeeded in chang
ing much Of the desert to foliage;
they lacked water to moisten their
arid lands. but they tapped the
Platte and myriad Waterways now
course over the desert to bring to
fruitage the corn and the wheat;
they lacked for their native pro-
ducts the necessary markets, but an
intensive cultivation Of their own
little cities set down on the open
prairies has created great civic CEN
ters and markets of their own. They
have taken advantage of every OPP
portunity to make of what was once
known as the Great American Des-
ert' the mecca for millions of tour
lists and the permanent home of a
thrifty, enterprising, happy and hos
pitable people

Five years ago, DR.. Hill said, there
we're 100000 school children in the

not only affecting their physical de-
ysopment but retarding their mental

from families too poor to have proper

He discussed at length the different
diseases of the eye, SAYING that squint

Dr. Hill also spoke OF the danger
