asjijvijii half century of rotary jujst 50 years ago on february 23 1905 four rrin fnet in a chicago office they came togehej at the suggestion of paul harris a young lawyer who feefithanjn of different tracteanciprofes rlrtriwmky0rr acquainted at first the rifwclob vnet in rotation he stores and offices of rnembers this practice r soon abandoned iri favor of regular metpgs at the sarne hotel or restaurant explains the name rotary very quickly rotary became international with less than two score clubs iri existence one was formed in wipnipegtie very next year saw the establishment of clubs in dublin and belfast jrejand and inlondon england thereafter ro- itary spread rapidly over the globe through the r old world to the far east from the tip of latin america to the north cape and to australia this yearthe club in acton is marking the golden anniversary of rotary in many ways with diverse programs and bringing forward the work that is being accomplished not only locally but throughout the world the international pattern of rotarys expan sion throws light on its character rotary is riot ex it h no secrets rtqmysieriousrrtes- to arouse suspicion men of all natibnalities re ligions and culturesare invited to join in consequence rotary clubs flourish iri countries where bitter feelings of racial or politi cal antagonism have existed neighbors whose differences had maintained a wall of si lent hate between them find themselves enjoying a cheer- fulfellowshjp together at the weekly meetings of rotary clubs and the fruits of their acquaintance art soon apparent in the community at large as understanding improves and mutual cooperation develops what is the aim of rotary perhaps it is best summarized in that declaration made at edin burgh scotland in 1921 to encourage and fos ter the advancement of international under standing good will and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service fifty years of service has established jjqtary in world fellowship may we as a newspaper join in wishing for it continued growth and real ization in the years ahead of its high ideals no hockey no prof its senior hockey is gone from smiths falls but its ghost walked last thursday evening- grim im- piints were left in red ink on the financial state ment received by the board of parks manage ment the p boa m learne the- arena had revenues of only 13322 while up keep rwq amounted to 26923 last year senior hockey once the biggest moneyrmakec lat the arena stood out in the accounting as a- 4492 loss the net deficit from all hockey during the year adding profits from practicehours and jun ior games was 2276 by comparison int953not the best year for hockey the senior rideaus produced a net reven ue of 5300 for the board and total income from the sport was nearly 7000 in that year the parks board bad operated with an appropriation of only 7000 from muni cipal tax fundsawithout hockeytheboard asked for 15000 in 1954 and will need the same amount this year the departure of hockeyalso left itis mark on the profits of the arena canteen which were 2 219 last year and 3300 in 1953 the parks board must now be convinced that senior hockey on the grand scale is a losing proposition the members-got- a hardlesson last season when they had to disband the senior team after running into debt of 4492 in preceding years although the board had made a profit from the rideaus the private promoters absorbed the same financial shocks the sport can be revived but extreme caution must be used lest the genie blow the cap off the bottle again meanwhile the parks board must find new ways of making money unless the rate payers are satisfied to maintain the memorial community centre through large direct tax

wasnt born iri the garden of eden i foam rubber and fur as we travelled during the week on roadways that were almost on a par with those of mid-sum- mer we wondered what our automobile would be riding like back in the days when snow clear ance was unknown and the road to town was by x of those route of least- resistance-andsome- times through fields we thought of the old pitch holes made by- the show drifts and what they would do to front and rear springs or center poise ride or stabiliz ers or shock absorbers or foam rubber cushions of course we havent heard a sleigh bell this year and sand

in the 20 and 50 years ago columns we find that all down through the years there is a continuity of the same old diseases the o ailm of y m you s and ache the same as the more modern flu the measles come even more frequently than once in a lifetime and the common colds appear with the same regularity in spite of our improved heating arrangements but two of those diseases that every home dreaded have almost disappeared we dont have epidemics of smallpox and our cemeteries do not have burials of several children from diptherra perhaps the reason more of our people go to hos pital these- days for treatment isbecause of our better means of travel yes wetriink we have left all we need of the gooddlddays anctwe are quite content to leave therugged outofdoors and snow to those who want to get
