The speaker of the evening intro
duced by George Coffman, president
of the club, was Lieut. Bullock, who
organized four battaions of American
born troops for service with the Can
adian forces in France during the
World War. His subject was "What
makes Rotary Rotate He said that
Rotary can be force or a farce"
He emphasized that cooperation rath-
er than competition must solve the
perplexing problems that confront the
whole world. For II years Col Bull
lock was lecturer for the New York
City board of education and has long
been actively identified with Rotary
International.
"The Rotary fellowship" said the
speaker, "is unique thing in the his
tory of man. 1t is strong, indefin-
able something that transcends a
mans religious opinions, while insist
ing that such opinions shall be re-
spected and protracted. 1t ignores
a mans political affiliations while,
maintaining that every Rotarian
should concern himself with the trend
Of political thinking. 1t fosters a
recognition Of international RESPONSE
bilities while declaring that there can
be no real internationalism that is
not predicated upon nationalism. A
man must love some one country of
a group before he can understanding
~ love the group as a whole.
The address was interspersed with
numerous stories and anecdotes which
greatly heightened the interest of its
presentation.
Since the World War Col. Bullock
has been engaged in recreational work
and has been lecturer for as years.

an engagement. He has had II years

ten numerous articles on boys work
for Rotary publications, specially.
The dinner was given at the Man

menus that hostelry is famous for,
and the service and viands abundantly
proved that the Public Landing resort
house will not suffer by the new man
agement.
