Curry Harris
Tells OF Aims
of Rotary Club
Rotary's Part In
Community Service
Told AT Meeting

Paul Sher, the program chair
man, presented Mr.. w. Curry
Harris as the speaker at Rotary
Thursday. In a most impressive
manner he gave the mission of
Rotary in community service. He
said, fundamentally, Rotary is
a philosophy of life that under
takes to reconcile the ever pre-
sent conflict between the desire
to profit for ones self and the
duty and consequent impulse to
serve others. This philosophy is
the philosophy of service "Ser-
vice above Self" It is based on
the practical ethical principle that
He profits most who serves
best"
He said further that "Funda-
entally a Rotary Club is a group
Of representative business and pro-
fessional men who. have ac-
cepted the Rotary Philosophy of
service and are seeking first =
to study collectively the theory of
service as the true basis of suc-
cess and happiness In business
and in life; the second - to give
collectively practical demonstra-
tons of it to themselves and their
community; practice in his bust
ness and in his everyday life; and
fourth individually and collec-
lively by active precept and ex-
ample, to stimulate its acceptance
both in theory and practice by all
non-Rotarians as well as by all
Rotarians."
Mr.. Harris further said, that
Because he who serves must act,
Rotary is not merely a state of
mind, nor Rotary philosophy mere
ly subjective, but must translate
itself into objective activity; and
the individual. Rotary Club had d
record attendance today there
being twenty-eight visiting Rotar-
ians present. The list included -

billions Help
Make Band Trip
Great Success

Major and Mrs. Earl Dillon de-
serve much credit for helping
make the Key West High School
Bands trip to Cuba last weekend
a great success.
Since Harold Casterton, band
master, was unable to make the
trip, Major Dillon, who was direc-
tor of the band before his retire
ment, undertook to supervise the
expedition.
The billions and the band mem.
bers were enthusiastically receiv-
ed in Cuba and made a big hit
with the officers and crew men,
bers of the Cuban ship Jose Mar
ii which transported them to the
Cuban capital. The students were
given the run of the ship on the
return trip and enjoyed visiting
every section and observing the
ships operation.
In gratitude for the excellent
hospitality extended them, the Dill.
Ions invited the Captain, ships Of.
ficers and such crew members as
could leave the vessel to a party
at Dillon Hall, the Key West High
School music building, on the
night of the return.
Mothers OF the band members
rallied round and brought in cakes,
cookies and punch TO make a
really festive affair of the party.
When the Captain of the Jose
MART learned of Major Dillon's
long connection with the schools
music department ard that Dillon
Hall had been named il. his honor,
he made a trip downtown and Sc
cured a beautiful Cuban flag
which he presented in the Majors
honor. The Gag now holds an hon.
ored spot next 10 the American
nag in the band building.
The evenings festivities were
concluded about II p. m. when the
entire body of guests exited from
Dillon Hall In conga line.
The Dillons are to be commend
ed for their racious acceptance
Of the task Of supervision and for
the fine Job they did.

did not take part.
Justice Minton. who wrote the

court permitted Mrs. Jackson to
be sued for money damages it
would abe solely for the purpose
of Furnishing her for not con-
tinuing to discriminate against
non Caueasians in the use of her
property"
He stated: This court will not
permit Or require California to CO.
cree respondent to pay damages
for failure to observe a restricted
covenant that this court would
deny California the right to en-
force in equity, or that this
court would deny California the
right to incorporate in a statute.
or that could not be enforced in
a Federal jurisdiction because
such a covenant would be con-
trary to public policy"
Marshall acknowledged that the
high tribunals decision will have
far reaching effect since race re-
strictive clauses are In effect in
many parts of the country, but
stated that the NAACP Legal

ieady 10 meet the issue wherever
