chinery and newer methods are con-
stantly throwing out of gear those
who have concentrated along the
| line of a single endeavor.
(D The Smoot-Hawly Tariff Act
passed by Congress and signed by
the President in spite of the con-
trary advice volunteered by over a
thousand noted economists of this
country is accentuating the present
difficulties.
(5) Trade between countries be-
gan way back in history and is not
only means of exchanging pro-
ducts and ideas, but also of estab-
ing friendly relationships with
other countries and therefore un-
reasonable high tariff walls do much
harm.
(6) Teachers and all other educa-
tors should dwell more on the eco
nomics of modern problems as they
are of the greatest importance in
the fitting of young people for their
careers.
The applause which greeted DR..
Gould's remarks showed how much
his talk was appreciated. Robert
Shilling, Superintendent of our To-
cal public schools, and who is
Rotarian, responded with a witty
talk expressing this appreciation.
The meeting was presided over by
George Perry, who in his opening
talk stressed the six points of RO-
tary. He pleasantly surprised the
audience when referring to his re-
cent trip to Seattle, Wash, present
ed to the Milford High School a |
beautifully colored picture of ma
ture Douglas fir tree. This tree |
stands in Mount Remier National |
Park, Washington. and is approx
mately 280 feet high and 125 feet |
above the ground to the first branch. |
1t is IL feet IN diameter and esti-
mated to be 900 years old. Were it
cut down its $4,000 feet of lumber
would be sufficient to build four
homes.
The meeting was kept exceeding
ly alive by the singing of popular
songs, led by Jack Benjamin. At one
occasion, it being leap year, the la
dies sang Let Me Call You Sweet
heart" and the men gallantly sere-
naded them with the irrepressable
Sweet Adeline." Mrs. Mabel Murphy
and Mrs. Gladys Smith accompanied
he singing at the piano. The guest
artists who rendered vocal selec-
ions were Miss Jane Harrington,
laughter of Mr.. and Mrs. bud"

lis, son of Rev. and Mrs Willis of
