Rotarian Jones was the speaker of the
evening and after being ably introduced
by ToaStmaSter Brickley, did not forget
Andy Erickson's alluSion and told very
amusing tale on Andy and several other
good stories before launching into his
more sedate address in which he
cautioned Rotary to "go Just little
more than halfway in fostering Inter-
national relations and an understand
ing Of the troubles of the under priv
ileged in striving for comfort for our
families and ourselves"
He stated that America stands today
as the last bulwark of Christianity and
that the nation was founded in a
Christian spirit; that even the Ameri-
can dollar calls attention to this fact
in the motto stamped on its face, I'm
God We Trust"
The irish wit of Toastmaster BrickIey
and Speaker Jones served them in good
stead and their fund Of stories inustrat-
ing their points kept the crowd in
good humor past the regular closing
hour. The visitors returned to their
homes after the meeting, the trip here
and the return being made over the new
road from Slate lake on No. to Two
Harbors.
