Ideal of Service" Was
Topic Of Rotary Talk
Donald Adams, Past Presi-
dent Rotary International,
Spoke To Local Group

Sank Centre1N Rotary was honor
ed Tuesday noon by the presence
of Donald Adams, past president of
Rotary International, who address
ed the gathering on the need of
service.
Mr.. Adams said the ideal of SER
vice Is something to shoot at-a
standard of perfection. 1t tries to
teach us that our business should
not be merely means of making
money, but rather a means of serv-
ing our fellow men. If all business
men could be motivated by this
ideal, it would solve most Of our
world problems.
The ideal of service, he contin-
ued, is not a new one. It is found
in all historic philosophy for 1000
years. The reason we have not ap-
preached this ideal is that through
all time men have looked at 1t in
the abstract; but in the concrete
men felt it to be impractical. They
were not willing to pay the price
of allegiance to an ideal.
We need the ideal Of service in
front Of us even though we may be
discouraged; even though we seem
to have made so little progress to-

of fear. Half credulent; half dis
believing fear began to grow on
people when they heard a CHS
broadcast with actor Orson Welles
handling a portrayal of H. G.
Welles' 'fWar of the Worlds" The
play is a Pigment of the creative
Imagination Of the Welles' pen, that
has to do with the invasion of the
earth by Mars men with their ter
rible instruments of destruction.
Reports that came to this office,
said, one girl had run hastily to the
neighbors when she heard the play
open with a news flash of the Mars
men invasion. Other women here
were reported crying. One sat idly
relieved and dazed when at the end
of the broadcast she learned it was
a drama.
Two who own a business here
closed shop on hearing the play,
hours before the regularly sched-
uled closing time. Another wanted
to leave for the home Of her par
ents, it was reported. But women
weren't alone. Strong men too felt
the hysteria Of the unknown.
Another lady, her husband in Chi
cago, feared the disaster might be

from the local exchange, it is re-
ported. Still doubtful, she had the
call held. It was eventually cancell-
ed.
Operators, who did know of the
play, at the Sunday night telephone
switchboard said the next day they
noted a sudden squirt in local calls
about the time Of the broadcast,
but had no long distance calls as a
result of the show. One who called
friend, said over the phone, "My
God, turn on the radio. Something
terrible is happening" Then in
wholesale lots, as friends called
friends, listeners quit their current
favorite, Charlie Mccarthy
One man, shaving at the time of
the first flash, said, IT never shaw

Now those who didn't hear the
show expressed desire to have it
re-broadcast. Others who heard 1t
want to hear it again, knowing 1t
was only a play.
Later the broadcasting COM
pany and others were expressing
regret over the incident. Explicit,
reports said, were studios to explain
the fictional character Of the skit.

Presentation of "Anne
of Green Gables" VIII Take
Place, November 18th

Issuing a plea for period cos
tunes for use in the Junior class
play, director Miss Viola Laughlin
launched her cast into more inten-
sive rehearsals this week in pre-
paration for the presentation Of
"Anne of Green Cables" an adap-
ton from the popular novel, on
Friday evening, November 18th.
The period for the setting of the
play is laid about thirty years ago,
Miss Laughlin said. She asked that
any towns people who might have
costumes available from that per-
iod and are willing to have them
used in the play, contact her.
The setting for this play is in
Green Gables, a large, rambling
farmhouse in New England. The
mistress is Marilla Cuthbert, a spin
ster who amt never had no gaety
in her life and don't intend to let
nobody else have either" The play
is built around the development of
this narrow character into a fuller
person through the contact with
this girl, Anne. The humor of the
play results from real human sit

wards it, he said. We also need GER
tain Royalties, as too often we serve
private and selfish interests.
The explanation Of the rise of
dictators in Europe is that there
was a wholesale breaking down Of
loyalties on the part Of the individ-
ual citizens. He continued that the
lesson for us Is that we must be
willing to pay the price and stand
the gaff for what we know is right.
It is not an easy thing to do.
In closing he quoted Resolution
No. "a: Rotary is a philosophy of
life to reconcile the ever-present
conflict between desire to serve
oneself and the urge to serve 9TH
ers. Until man learns this we will
continue to have war, avarice and
greed"

was twenty years ago next January
that the local company received
federal recognition. He stated that
membership in Co. IN" had been
a fine experience, and he was proud
of this occasion. It was something
he had hoped for and he was hap
py that the recognition came to
Scott.
Col. F. G. Stutz, Of st. Paul, pre-
scented a resume of experiences in
Sank Centre and his part in the
formation of Co. M" He told Of
the early federal inspections and
complimented Major Scott on his
promotion to higher rank. He told
of the course Of study necessary
to attain higher rank and advised
other officers to be prepared for
promotion when the time comes.
He said that Scott had earned his
promotion and that under the new
major he hoped to see the Third
Battalion the best in the National
Guard.
Col. D. B. Robinson, in the alb
sence of Col. VIM. Townsend, paid
his respects to the honored guest,
as one of the hardboiled but fin
est officers he knew.
General E. A. Walsh, adjutant
general of the Minnesota National
Guard, gave a splendid address. He
told of the pleasures and disap-
pointments in army life, and stat
ed that one of the pleasures was
the promotion of Captain Scott to
the rank of major. The leaves, the
insignia Of major, he said come
hard, but the harder they come the
more appreciable they are. He told
of the improvement Of army equip
ment and personnel during the
past twenty years, and stated that
stress today Is for airplanes and
mechanical ground forces, for
greater speed. He spoke of the
Presidents recent note to japan
and the emergency strength Of the
u. s. forces. The past twenty
years have seen the passing Of the
old army and the arrival of the
new. Today, he said, the War De-
partment demands more of the Of
ficers and that army life asks
much more in service for smaller
reward than any other occupation.
Corporal Jim Scott was then
called to present the gift of Co.
M" to his father, Major Scott.
This consisted of a beautiful saber,
a belt and chain. Major Scott In
his acceptance said: II always feit
my company was better than any
other in the 206th, there may be
others who didn't feel that way, but
I did regardless" The meeting
was closed with the singing of
"Auld Lang Syne" by the assemb-
lage. The shank of the evening
was spent in a social way.
Visiting officers present were:
General e. A. Walsh, Col. F. G..

HEAVY SHIPPING
OF GRAIN LIKELY
Bookings on Great Lakes
Indicate Best Season
= in 4 or 5 Years.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April 1s.-Heavy book
ings for early clearance OF grain
laden boats from the Chicago port
today promised the most sctive Great
Lakes grain shipping season in four
or five years.
Opening Of navigation found vessel
space engagements for transporting
almost 100000 bushels through the
Lakes before the end Of April. These
bookings are principally for corn to
60 to Montreal for export abroad.
Merchants said revival OF the corn
export trade after last years big har-
vest was an important factor in ex-
panding grain shipments out Of Chi
cago. Movement of corn from the
Gulf and East Coast has been heavy
the past several months while Lake
navigation was closed.
Shipping interests reported that in
addition to the 100000 bushels for
which space has been booked, ap-
proximately 100000 bushels await
passage. Last year about 100000
bushels of grain, mostly wheat, were
cleared from Chicago in the period
from April II to May /.
In 1887 shipments from Chicago
totaled 33,076, 900 bushels, the largest
since 1884, when volume was 37,864,-
000 In 1886 the total was only
1924, 900 bushels, and after the 1884
drought 1t slumped to 6,823,000 BUSH
els in 1885. the smallest on record.
Grain trade estimates indicated TO-
100000 bushels may be shipped out
of Lakes Michigan and Superior by
July this year.
The first grain departure Of the
season was last Sunday, when a
steamer cleared South Chicago with
100000 bushels of corn. Two other
corn cargoes were moved this week
and two steamers loaded with approx
imately 650,000 bushels Of wheat are
ready to be cleared. Thirty other
steamers were scheduled to load grain
at South Chicago within the next few
days.
Grain and shipping interests said
heavy movement was scheduled from
Duluth to the ST. Lawrence and Buf-
falo with the opening Of Lake Su-
perior navigation.
