DR.. J. F. Dubois, who spoke for
the Charter members, presented the
history and accomplishments OF
Sank Centre Rotary during the ten
year period. He reviewed the birth
and growth of the organization in
an interesting manner. Ten years
ago, he said, members thought that
Rotary was securely founded in this
city. Service was its key motto
then, and still is today. It was
founded upon service, not as a det-
riment to other organizations, but
to assist and encourage them. Dur
ing the ten years of its life Rotary
of Sank Centre has taken up pub
lie events and affairs. This was
done through discussion and the
Of the club were taken to
the Community Club for action. He
stressed service to youth, the clubs
work with the Boy Scouts and the
boys and girls bands, and reviewed
the bands trip to International Ro-
tary as guests Of Sank Centre Ro-
tary. He stated that Rotarians as
individuals have become too COM
placent. He said in part: THE
youth Of today, Is the man Of to-
morrow, and they are influenced
by the men OF today. Are we In
terested in youth, II we allow night
clubs, pin ball and slot machines,
and other vices to continue? Are
we following Rotarian principles In
setting examples for youth? I
think 1t well II we lose some Of our
SNUG complacency and follow the
principles Rotary has laid out for
u.s."

Club. Following this guests and
former members were introduced

Bob Ashley, Of Fergus Falls, who
was the special representative Of
Rotary Governor ten years ago,
and was instrumental in organizing
Sank Centre Rotary. said: They
told me back in 1926, 1t can't be
done. There was never doubt in
my mind but that this club would
endure. When I saw the Rotary send
that band under Paul Hanson to
Rotary International, I knew Sank
Centre would 60 places"
