Sparta Minister
Spoke AT Rotary
Club Last Week
Field Representative Of Ro-
tary International Paid
Club A Visit.

Rev. Howard Ford, pastor OF
the Baptist churches in Sparta
and Wilkesboro, delivered a
splendid address at the Jeffer-
sons Rotary Club last Thursday
night on the subject of Saving
Democracy.
Rotarian Earl Harrison, a field
representative of Rotary Inter
national, was also present and
commended the club on the pro-
gresS it has made since establish
ment last spring.
''You have fine club and are
doing an excellent piece Of work
in the community" he declared.
He said that last year was the
greatest year in the hisory of Ro-
tary. "Over 500 clubs were Or
ganized in 1885," he stated.
Asserting that since the World
War there has been definite
trend away from the democrat
ic system of government, Mr..
Ford said, 1--WE cannot wise
ly ignore that world trend if we
are to save America for Democ-
racy".
He discussed the changes in
Europe and Asia and the rise of
dictators.
Economic collapse and insta-
bility are the principal reason for
the fall of any system of govern
ment and it is highly important
that we, in the United, contribute
our bit to see that the average
man has an opportunity to work
and to earn a living for himself
and his family" he said.
There might be a large num-
be-: who would give up their in
dividual liberties and follow a
dictator who promised them a
home, good food and clothing"
he cautioned.
The speaker was introduced by
Lester Segraves, program chair
man of this month.
An interesting prOgam has
been planned for tonight, it is
stated.
