the speaker said, adding that in
ternational friendships pave the road
to peace and prosperity for all.
Perhaps the most important fea-
ture is thinking and doing for others
in the home community, in the ma
ton and in the woodworking con-
ditions and things of benefit that
otherwise would not exist. Peter
son mentioned a recent article in
Golfers which cited the enormous
growth of service clubs, made up of
both men and women who contribute
to the commonweal.
Further on he said he did not
want too much attention paid to the
mechanics of the organization; he
preferred to see attention given to
the individual who with his fellows
make up the organization.
He also said he believed there is
room for a Rotary club in practical
ly every town in America, where the
same things are done that are done
in the cities but on a different scale
and from another viewpoint. He
mentioned White Sulphur Springs as
an example; the ~ or ID members
perform community duties identical
in many ways with those of heads of
great businesses in the nation.
Another thought was that the bet
ter the results, and although man
kind is beset by many ills and fears
it continues to make progress in liv-
ing with itself. Peterson said he
was optimistic of the future.
AS to taxes, they are part of the
price to be paid for the privilege of
in this country. Also, this
country has and continues to need
"risk" capital, the result of work
and saving, for development. The
present volume of taxes may be
draining away too much of this risk
capital, the money that will take a
chance.
Concluding, he said that for bust
ness and life to be guided by a code
of ethics "these ethics must be in
you and me" as individuals. There
is rapture in high resolve, and in
contributing to others. |
