learn of when the President didn't hold his own
with then-and then some.
At the time he told the reporters to lay off the
third term business, he went ahead to tell them
of the accomplishments. Some of them didn't
like that any too we'll, preferring to sing the song
of hate, rather than speak words of praise.
This another term matter bobbed up during
Coolidge's administration. He kept silent in the
matter, and didn't commit himself till he got
good and ready. The country is not suffering be-
cause the President doesn't announce his inten-
tions-but the politicians especially the Repub-
licans are, because they fear he will again,
and know that if he does, he would be easily
elected.

CHESTERHILL 31-29

The Big Reds were triumphant
over the scrappy Chesterhill team
in a thrilling overtime game Satur-
day night at the local gym.
Chesterhill got off to flying
start by scoring seven points while
holding the Big Reds to four. In
the second quarter they went on a
scoring spree, hitting the hoop for
Is points and holding the Big Reds
to three. In the second half the
Big Reds started comeback, scor-
ing six points in the third quarter,
while Chesterhill connected for one.
In the fourth and final quarter the
Big Reds scored 13 points while
Chesterhill scored six. Since this
left the score a tie when the final
gun was sounded, Sudden death"
overtime had to be played. The
Big Reds got the tip-off and after
a little password, passed the ball
to Steward, who faxed his man to
one side and then dribbled in and
scored the winning basket.
The Big Reds Reserves received
their initial defeat of the year at
the hands of the Chesterhill Re-
serves, 25 to 20.

The SUMMARY.
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1940-02-22

3. To realize that / am a busi-
ness man and ambitious to succeed,
but that ! am first an ethical man
and wish no success that is not
founded on the highest justice and
morality.
A. To hold that the exchange of
my goods, my service and my ideas
for profit is legitimate and ethical,
provided that all parties in the ex-
change are benefited thereby.
5. To use my best endeavors to
elevate the standards of the voca-
tiOn in which | am engaged, and SO
to conduct my affairs that others in
my vocation may find it wise, prof
liable and conducive to emulate my
example
6. To conduct my business in
such manner that I may give a
perfect service equal to or even
better than my competitor, and
beyond the strict measure of debt or
obligation.
7. To understand that one of
the greatest assets of a professional
or of a business man is his friends
and that any advantage gained by
reason Of friendship is eminently
ethical and proper
3. To hold that true friends de-
mand nothing of one another and
that any abuse of the confidence of
friendship for profit is foreign TO
the spirit of Rotary, and in violation
Of its code of ethics
9. To consider no personal SUE
cess legitimate or ethical which is
secured by taking unfair advantage
Of certain opportunities in the social
order that are absolutely denied
others, nor will | take advantage of
opportunities to achieve material
success that others will not take be-
cause of the questionable morality
involved
10 To be more obligated to
brother Rotarian than / am to every
other man in human society," be-
cause the genius of Rotary is not in
its competition, but in it's coopera-
ton, for provincialism can never
have a place in an institution like
Rotary, and Rotarians assert that
human rights are not confined to
Rotary clubs, but are as deep and as
broad as the race itself And for
these high purposes does Rotary eX-
ist to educate all men and all insti-
tutions.
IL Finally. believing in the un-
iversality of the golden rule. all
things whatsoever ye would that
men should do unto you, do We even |
so unto them. we contend that So |
ciety best holds together when !
equal opportunity is accorded all
men in the natural resources of this |
planet.
Rotary code of ethics surely has
stood the test Of time, as shown by
he growth in the past 35 years. In
1905, one club, 80 members; in /
1910, 16 clubs, 1900 members; in

'CONSERVANCY DISTRICT SITUATION

The Muslingum flood control project, with it's
tax assessment confusion, and the many compli-
Gated matters that have up in the past sew
eral years. have caused such muddle in the pub

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL Oh
SERVES 35th ANNIVERSARY,
FEBRUARY 23, 1910.

This week, in this community, in
more than 5000 communities in the
United States, and also in commun-
tiles of the Americas, Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and
in far flung islands of the seven
seas, Rotarians and Rotary clubs
have participated in Rotary observ-
ance week, celebrations and activi-
ties.
Rotary observance week, the
week of February 1924, 1910, rep
resented more than celebration of
Rotary's 35th birthday, although
that event is noteworthy one Ro-
tary observance week took on a
deeper meaning and significance in
that it represents an inventory pc
riod for Rotary clubs and Rotarians
everywhere. 1t was a time for in
ventory of past activities and a
discussion of present and projected
activities, with both the inventory
and the discussion serving as a
basis for more effective service ac-
tivities in the future.
Rotary, February % is 35 years
old The seed of Rotary was plant
ed in Chicago Ill. in 1905, and
has taken root in more than 65
countries Rotary literature has
been translated into more than
score of languages and club meet
ingS are conducted in many tongues.
What is more important, the prin-
cirles of Rotary, have been accepted
by men of almost every nationality
and almost every political and re-
Iigi0us belief. not because they are
tie principles on which Rotary was
founded, but because they are the
principles upon which our civiliza-
tion must depend
The world has faced crises. Pc
riods during which civilization has
tottered but equilibrium has always
been restored ultimately The pres
ont period is no exception
p,'hcps his year, perhaps next year,
We shall emerge from strife and
struggle to begin an era of interna
fional cooreration, understanding
md peace. 1t is to this end that all
Of us, Rotarians and others, must
look We cannot lose faith in the
principles TO which Rotary is dedi-
cctcd
Urhat is Rotary: Rotary is a code
Of ethics based on the principle, 4
service above self--he who profits
most serves best, which is a defini
ton of the Rotary code of ethics.
1. To consider my vocation
and as affording me distinct
opportunity to serve society.
Q. To improve myself, increase
ny efficiency and enlarge my SER
rice. and by so doing attest my faith
n the fundamental principles of
Rotary. that he profits most who
erves best.
