Rotary Dist, Governoer Fees There is a Greu-ater- Need For Clubs The Bowmanvile Rotary Club received a visit last Tbursday from District Gov- ernor, Geoffrey King and bis wife Rachel. The regular noon bour meeting was rescbeduted for 7:30 in the 'evening to enable the wives of the local Rofarians to join their hus- banlds in meeting the new Governor of District 707. Mr. King was elected ta his post in July and will serve until June, 1976. In bis speech f0 the club, Mr. King expanded on the tbeme chosen by Rotary Internation- al President Imbassaby de Mello for the 1975-76 Rotary year. Mr. King feels tbat the present theme "To Dignify the Human Being" is particularly appropriate for this year. He explained that with governments extending their, sphere of influence into more and more areas, there might appear f0 be less need for the Rotary Clubs of the world f0 render service than in years past. However, lie believes thaf there is greater need tban ever for 'service above self'. He suggested that "As long as there is one ignorant man to be educated, one confused adolescent to be helped, or two nations in confict with one another, there is a need for Rotary". Mr. King continued by saying that in a world of mass communications and first and a p t luck supper was announe for the general meeting in St. Paul's on Sept. l6tb.

He believes that it is a function of the clubs 10 get that indîviduality back. "Tbe opporfunities f0 serve have neyer been greater," Mr. Kine stated, and the resvon- sibility of Rotary Clubs bas conseiluently inc-reased. Mr. King noted that in some of the Rotary Clubs in Toronto the majority of members were in the Senior Active category. The growth of big business and multi-national corpora- tions in the past few years bas tbreatened small busin- ess. Since Rotary Clubs draw a large percentage of tbeir members from independent businessmen, if has been difficult recently f0 recruit new members for the clubs. Mr. King urged ail Rotar- ians ta, cons ider t he role-of f he,ý individual in the club. "WTbat can one man do?" Usîng the example of Cardinal Emile Leger, Mr. King stafed that even one person acting inde- pendently can have wide- ranging influence. H1e mainfains that the ser- vice club works from the individual up f0 Rotary Inter- national and not tbe other way around. Each member of Rotary serves a s part of a team, and Mr. King called on att members of the Bowman- ville Club fo serve as they had in the past. prayer. Mrs. Audrey Sirk read a letter from Rev.
