THE NEW ROTARY CLUB

The Skyland Post takes great pleasure in con-
graduating the business and professional men
of the Jeffersons upon the organization of
Rotary club.
The happiness, growth and development of
any town or city is dependent in large meas
ure upon civic club or clubs. Such organ
ization brings business and professional men Of
the community together in a spirit of good
fellowship and mutual helpfulness and enables
them to work together on program for the
common good of all.
In the selection of Rotary, the large group Of
local citizens are to be commended and the JEFF
Persons are to be congratulated upon having
such an organization that will be affiliated with
4,400 clubs located in 80 counties of the world
Rotary is the oldest and largest of all civic
clubs. 1t was organized in Chicago by Paul
Harris in 1905 Since that time the value of
United States and throughout the world have
been indeScribable.
With motto of Service Above Settle
Profits Most Who Serves Best, Rotary inspires
men to more fuller realization of their indi-
vidual capacities for patriotic citizenship and
service OF their communities, state and nation,
to deal justly with customers or clients, en-
ployees and others with whom. they come in
contact in business or professional relations,
to have concern for the welfare of their neigh
bors and, Individually, through their associa-
tons in the clubs, to bring about international
understanding, good will and peace.
Rotary is not merely state of mind. He
who serves must act. Rotarians, through all
fhoir daiv business S0cia1 and civic contacts
are endeavoring to reconcile the conflict be-
tween the desire for profit for ones self and the
obligation to serve others. They think of ser
vice above self because that is the right thing
to do They believe also that she who serves
best profits most in accordance with the teach
ings of the great Master of Men.
But Rotary is not a religious organization. It
does not seek to supplant or interfere with any
religious organization. It assumes that its con-
cepts are in accord with all religious teachings.
It does not concern itself with individuals re-
igious views or politics. Rotary expects mem

" NICHOL who is one of the

just by being, for once in his

you may not know, Is one Of
these calm, poised people who
can give courage and strength
to bewildered souls who are lit
orally frightened to death, at
the prospects of going through
this and that before they ever
get really well. He can tell one,
just before performing the most
serious operation, that in two
days or more they will be per-
fectly all right and, wonder of
wonders, make these frightened
souls believe it.
Well, the other day the very
small daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
Nichol, not yet 2 years old, de-
veloped an upset tummy, and
her Daddy was so nervous and
distract over this condition Of
affairs, that he had to close
shop for the afternoon. But, you
know, we somehow, love this
story.

For the instant they are out
they rush to the cafeteria for
