"To give men of this village who would serve the community an opportun- ity to act, without political, religious or racial bias, because he who serves must act, is the chief object of a Rotary club," one is informed. "Rotarians are expected to translate the service philosophy of Rotary into genuine go-getting activity in as many different directions and by as many dif- ferent contacts as the average business or professional man finds in his daily life. Men who know Rotary say that the Ro- tary club is a sort of storage battery of energy that sends its members forth into their business activity, their social and home life, with a desire to put the high standards of Rotary service into imme- diate and result getting action. "A a general rule the greater effect of a Rotary club in a community is felt through the activties of the members of the club in their own businesses and in the various civic organizations to which they belong. Thus, while every Rotary club has complete freedom in the selec- of its own activities, it invariably en- deavors to make effective the work of exisiting agencies. For instance, prac- tically every member of the group sel- ected for the charter membership list of the club is a member of the Chamber of Commerce or other civic groups and his big obligation as a Rotarian is to be a better member of the Chamber of Com- merce, etc., a more active and produc- tive member, than he ever has been be- fore. In many Rotary clubs through- out the country a man proposed for membership must show that he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce of his town or must join it before his name will be considered by the member- ship committee. Whenever there is an existing agency for civic work the Ro- tary club likes best to serve the com- OTTO DOVIDAT TAILOR and FURRIER Fine Clothes For Ladies and Gentlemen Clothes Made to Order Remodeling--Pressing--Cleaning $ 784 Elm St. Corner Linden Above Adams Drug Store formerly at 67 Burton Place, Cor.

Ro- tary seeks to make a better man of Catholic, Protestant, Jew or Buddhist alike. "Even so, however, Rotary club ac- tivities are many and varied. They are usually confined locally to activities which no other organization is formed to accomplish. Taking the activities of all Rotary clubs the world over they touch every phase of community life. One particular phase, called "Business Methods," seeks to bring about the adoption of codes of stand- ard ethical practices in all businesses and professions. A department of boys' work is one of the several departments in the International secretary's office at Chicago, made it necessary because of the interest manifested by Rotary clubs in this work. Community Service "Second to none in Rotary activ- ities comes community service. Rotary clubs in many, many cities have been instrumental in arousing a civic pride and consciousness that has resulted in the preparation and adoption of city beautiful plans; erection of club houses for soldiers and community settlement houses and the providing of night schools for aliens and their instruction in the fundamentals of Americanism. Better highways, "get- to-gether meetings" of farmers and business men, community singing, em- ployment of visiting nurses, safety-first campaigns, in fact a complete list of the various activities of Rotary clubs would take up many columns and would include nearly every phase of man's endeavor toward making his town, his state and country a better place in which to live. "There are numbers of instances where Rotary clubs have been called upon for service in times of great stress. Probably the most striking example was at the time of the in- fluenza ejidemic in the United States and Canada when many clubs were suddenly called upon to make sur- veys of hospital facilities, organize available local resources for fighting the epidemic, and securing nurses from less-afflicted communities.
