Davis' own personal dreami is to get Grenada's lime juice and lime oil industry back on its feet. To that end, he bought a plant and provided restored and new equipment to get the operation underway. Though he has run in ta several marketing problems-, he will donate the plant to the islanid when. it pays for itself. About 12 months ago, clubs in Rotary District 707 (which includes Toronto and Bow- manville) were twinned with couniterparts in the Carib- bean. Already several pro-' jects have been started--the Scarborough club is buying needed laboratory equipment for its island partner, the North Scarborough group i raising funds to help build a sehool1 for the develop- mentally bandicapped, and the Toronto club is working to assist the banana industry, wbich migbt benefit the whole economy of the islands. As Mr. Davis pointed out, the twinning idea gives local clubs the opportunity to answer needs in another part of the world. "Unless we respond to these needs, we're not whole.", Mr. Davis concluded bis remarks by saying "I have neyer done anything as excit- ilg in my lbfe -as being a eotarian." For hîs enthas- iîsm and efforts, the club, ,m ust appreciate bis tremen- pous contributions.

Though hie enjoys studying very ranch, Mr. Schiller emnphasised tbat d~uring blis year in Canadar Rotarian~ duties would corne first. He spoke briefly about Switzer- land, giving the local mem- bers a general idea of what his native country is lîke. It was interesting to hear that there are four official languages used in that tiny European country and that no political problems have arisen because of rnulti-lingualism. Mr. Schiller told the club that he takes great interest in macro-economics and noted that Canada and Swýitzerland are among the highly indus- trîalized nations facing simi- lar problems that he thinks can only be solved on an international basis. He continued by saying that certain economic lIimits have been overstepped in the past several years. Though the problems are difficult, he hopes that withi confrontation and co-operation a construc- tive change could be achieved. On completion of his presen- tation to thbe club, Mr. Schiller invited the local Rotarians to view a showing of slides taken in Switzerland. .Mr. Schiller -was thanked for his comments by Dr. Keith Billett.
