ROTARY INTERNATIONAL

Rotary clubs throughout the world are battling with the forces of international discord, seeking to replace strife with understanding
 If men could meet as individuals there would be no wars. It only when men organize into political forces that the clouds of difference and discord gather along the international horizon.
 Thrty-four years ago a young businessman of Chicago met with a couple of friends and chatted across table In that little gathering Paul Harris conceived a thought which has changed the thinking of millions of men, for Paul Harris decided that men should meet and chat across a table not. once in a while by accident but regularly consistently and with a purpose From this nauspicious occasion there developed the first Rotary Club and today 4200 clubs unite in more than 50 nations of the globe espousng the cause of good will, extending the doc of friendship and advancing the ideal of fellow ship and harmony.
 Rotarians soon began to know that there is little difference between a Frenchman and a German an Englishman or a Pole All love their wives and chill dren. All moved by the patriotic strains of their own national anthem All believe in their religious conceptions. and admire with equal ardor the things which constitute virtue honor progress and achieve ment. All support their institutions, cultivate their minds their bodies and their souls, and breathe alike the sweetness of the the yioets the Towering almond A smile is smile regardless of the coun- tenance. the continent the complexion.
 Rotary looked deeper saw farther and today Ro- tarans cutvating the inherent desire for peace and-eessstgueting the right of way to attain it.
 Rotarys plan is practical for Rotary cultivates the thoughts which agree and refuses to block the channels of individual thinking which each individual deems his personal right to enjoy. Thus Christians, Mohammedans, Buddists, Jews, sit about table and find friendship in the thousand of ways in which men can and do agree.
 The world is Rotarys parish, but mans own community is his home, and wherever Rotary is you find it's parish unneglected and where Roarans are you find their home first consideration For while international understanding is major plank in Ro- tary's program community service is equally task to be achieved. And how best can any man improve the world than to make his own niche better place in which to live?
 But the greatest asset in Rotary is what Rotary does to Rotarians themselves. There things in the hearts of men which often are dormant because they need the light of friendship, the warmth ot good will and the sunshine of fellowship to develop The heart and mind of the average man is very mef- ficient Seldom does the mind produce it's maximum

 Adverse signs dominate in the horoscope for today, according to asrology The morning is an aus picious time for paying debts and for dealing with bankers.
 Under this rule of the stars cor respondence with women may be risky. especially where love letters are concerned Misunderstandings are easily produced and friendships ended while this sway continues. Girls may meet with disappoint- ments, for the configuration is un- favorable to their ambitions College students should be cautious not to neglect small details.
 Employers may find the day a test to patience, for workers may be careless or indifferent while the configuration prevails Efforts to replace women with men may be persistent at this time.
 Accidents may be numerous to- day. Falls may be sustained by el- derly persons. Handling of firearms is likely to be more than usually dangerous among hunters.
 The evening should be rather lucky for speakers or entertainers. Critics will be kindly and audiences responsive. Discussions of public issues will engage wide attention.
 After this month economic con ditions in Germany may improve the seers forecast. and for that req son nations hostile to Hitler should avoid inviting trouble.
 Quick settlement of difficulties affecting the international relations of the United States and foreign powers is prognosticated. In case of armed conflict victory would be speedily attained. the stars prom ise
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of lucrative steady advancement. Travel is in- dicated for many and pleasant days may be expected in routine employ ment.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be diplomatic and good- natured, but there may be a ten dency toward indirectness and se- crecy. Many of these subjects of Taurus have Gemini characteris- tics, for they are on the cusp of the two signs.

Overcoming Alaskan Handicaps
(Fairbanks News-Minerl

At this period of the year. when the icy letters of winter in Interior Alaska disappearing and in land navigation opening for the season it becomes apparent than that every facility should be extended by the Government and all other agencies for the discovery and development of mining properties the basic hope of continued occupation and industry of this region
 The many hazards that the prospector and opera tor has to face too well known to call for tended review The big point is to keep in mind the fact that hampering restrictions to those who would open the country must be removed and conditions imposed that will add the burdens imposed by nature region of short seasons and long months of winter weather.
 Individuals and companies operating in this zion have many natural handicaps to overcome which should not be aggravated by too exacting laws or other man-made limitations. Charles F. Willis editor of Mining Journal" offers broad basic view on such matters applying to the mining industry in general when he says
 According to the newspaper reports from Wash ington. the national administration is now putting forth every effort to encourage small business to go ahead The first thing needed in that respect particularly insofar the mining business is cerned is to eliminate some of the conditions that have heretofore held it back.
 The greatest forward step that could be taken at this time to help return the nation normalcy and prosperity would be to materially and effectively the development of national resources Mining produces a permanent and indestructible wealth upon which the volume of business done is in of the first cost of the wealth produced It remains in existence indefinitely in ever changing form.
 "A great many properties could become small pro- ducers at if small mill reduction works were installed and they could take from the ground the wealth which would make possible increased activities Thus there be founded today the big mines which will provide for the stability oftomorrow."

At sight of Jim Looping down shynes seized

those days after her father had
gone away, and she had been
dropped by everybody, stared at
and cut by these very girls.
Would they cut her now, she
wondered? Before Jim! She knew
suddenly that it would hurt far
more to be cut in front Of jim.
Shrinking, she wished she had
never come here. She should have
known better. Following her eyes,
Jim took in the strolling girls,
s'Friends of yours 2" he asked.
eI-dOn't know" Had she looked
at him she would have seen a look
of understanding leap into his eyes.
Swiftly he calculated the distance
to their parked car.
''Shall we-go?" he asked, his
voice carrying an.added tenderness.
eve can slip over to the car before
they get here.''
For q moment Iona was tempt
ed. Then she threw up hez' head.
"NO~ she said almost fiercely. ''I
want another swim. Come on.''
"Good girl!'' she heard him say
as she started toward the water.
AS she approached, a silence fell
on the group at the waters edge.
For q moment Gertrude Allen
looked at her, startled, then, care
lessly, she turned her back and
reached for the red water ball be-
side her. A whipped feeling caught
at Iona. Gertrude Allen had been
one of her best friends.
Wading out through the water,
she plunged in fiercely and struck
off toward the middle of the lake.
For a moment she forgot Jim as
the old bewildered pain possessed
, her. It was so unjust. She had done
nothing-nothing. And they acted
as if she were a leper! Cutting
through the water with savage
strokes, she sent herself flying
forward recklessly. Past the float
she went on out into the ripping
blue water. In the old days she had
often tried to swim the length OF
the lake, and she had been on the
point of succeeding when the trag-
edy that had blasted her life had
overtaken her.
She remembered that old ambi-
ton now and, gritting her teeth,
set herself for the grind she had
taken so joyously in the past. The
need to express her outraged feel
ings put a savage ferceness into
her strokes that soon sent her far
past the middle Of the lake. Jim's
voice calling out a worried protest
came to her, but she kept on dog
gedly. She had made three-fourths
of the long grind before she real
lied, suddenly, that she was ter
ribly tired. Her muscles, weakened
by disuse, began to protest. Her
arms went oddly numb land she
felt faint But she resolved, savage
ly. not to call for help and satisfy
that crowd of snobs back thereO
/ s Floating for a moments rest, she
lifted her head for a glimpse of the
shore that was her destination. 1t
was farther away than she had
thought-terrifyingly far away.

lake is an old haunt of mine."
"I didn't think you could learn
to swim like that in fresh water.
Mean to tell me you've never been
near the ocean," He looked down
at her, the water dripping from his
wet hair, giving his lean face a cur
iously boyish look. Remembering
suddenly the miles he had wan

she felt shy again.

eyes. 1t was as if she had hurt him,
somehow.

and wondering, wishing she could
recall the words that had changed
his mood.
They ate their lunch on a fiat
topped rock to which Iona, proud
of her knowledge of the place, led
him. It was a queer lunch that set
her laughing as she unpacked it.
A mans choice. Thick sandwiches
of hamburger from a corner stand
pickles in paper carton, a whole
pie, and a thermos bottle of steam

tried to fit her mouth over one OF
the huge sandwiches.
