No Rotary Club in the world is obligated to mail my attendance card to my Club. Mail it yourself or report to your secretary on your return. If you are away over the month end, mail a card or letter by air on the last day reporting attendance at other clubs.

Discontinued on June 30th, 1951. World War II had meant the loss of several hundred clubs, so numbering became meaningless.

The latest report shows Greater London with 94 Rotary Clubs. (1959)

1. In the number of active committees.

2. In attendance at same.

3. In the scope of their activities.

4. In the frequency of meetings.

1. Thou shalt be punctilious in thy attendance that thy fellowship may be bountifully dispensed.

2. Thou shalt respect the President and speaker and refrain from incessant chatter.

3. Thou shalt stay throughout the entire program.

4. Thou shalt acquaint thyself with the new member and make him welcome.

5. Thou shalt greet the visiting Rotarian and make him happy in our friendly midst.

6. Thou shalt honor Rotary in serving conscientiously on committees.

Although all of the above "commandments" are not directly concerned with the promotion of fellowship in the club they are all inducive to friendlier feelings and better club morale. A club might consider the publication of some such "rules of the game" in the club bulletin - every now and then - just ms a reminder to members.

Do not join the Rotary Club of Toronto unless you can spare about $400.00for Rotary without being unfair to yourself, your family, your church, your Board of Trade, etc.

Many Rotarians have long-standing records of perfect Rotary attendance. How do they do it? They realize that there is no such thing as absent treatment in such personal things as attendance and inspiration, that absence is negative and inspiration is positive, and that the only way to secure the benefits of a Rotary meeting is to be there.

Rotary clubs are "sharing clubs". Each has something to contribute to the other. In making up attendance at other Rotary clubs, we are exposed to new worthwhile ideas. Let us bring them back to our club so that we may use them and then pass them on to other Rotarians.

Who profits most?
'Tis not the man

Who, grasping every coin he can,

Unscrupulously crushes down

His weaker neighbor with a frown,

He is not worthy of his trust,

And, friendless, knows his gold is dust,

He loses what he sought to gain

And finds, instead of pleasure, pain.

Who profits most?

It is not he

Who shirks responsibility,

Who, hermit-like himself withdraws

to live apart from human flaws,

to scoff at mortal frailties,

He turns away, no vision sees

Of Life's great opportunity.

He is not mourned -- why should he be?

Who profits most?

It is the man

who gives a boost where'er he can,

Who's on the square in all that's done,

And trusts and helps the others on;

Who puts his task above mere self

And values friends and counts them wealth

Who profits most?

Is that your quest?

It is the man who serves the best.

   Abilene "Rebater"

1. Do I sit at the safe table each week with the same gang?

2. Do I ever trouble to speak to a visiting Rotarian and ask him to sit with me?

3. Have I ever taken the trouble to think the speaker and compliment him on his fine address?

4. Has it ever occurred to me that the. President is not a paid person, has plenty to worry about and that a pat on the back is a great tonic? (This goes for all chairman, too)

5. Do I remember how I felt as a new member at my first luncheon and then extend a warm welcome to our new members.

6. Do I "play ball" with my committee chairman and an answer "Yes" when he calls on my for help?

7. Is Rotary part of my life?

If you answer all these questions satisfactorily you know what one man can do to make Winnipeg Rotary a successful Club.

How difficult it is for the businessman to live unselfishly!

He must bear the handicap of life whose main purpose is the accumulation of money. . . but who is the most successful businessman?

Not necessarily the man who has the largest bank account; that is one measure of success, but not the truest.

The most successful businessman is he who renders the greatest service to mankind, and whose life is most useful.

-William E. Sweet.

"Rotary is an ideal in action."

"Rotary is thoughtfulness of and helpfulness to others."

"Rotary is a maker of friendships and a builder of men."

"Rotary is an integrating force in a world where disintegrating force are far more numerous."

Rotary brings you once a week into close contact with a cross-section of the community's civic life.

Rotary gives you the viewpoint of many men, leaders in business and professions of every description.

Rotary gives you opportunities to be of helpful service others; and, in what, after all, is found greater satisfaction?

Rotary means good fellowship of the kind stimulated by friendship.

Rotary increases our knowledge of your fellowmen, and knowledge of others you come to know yourself better.

Rotary takes your mind off yourself and that's a good thing, isn't it?

The greatness of Rotary is not measured by the seas it has spanned or the number of countries into which it has gone - to the number of clubs and Rotarians - but rather by the countless continuing services which often cannot be tallied or totaled - the many things that men and clubs are doing as they translate Rotary into everyday life - the things each of us do daily as individuals radiating Rotary.

The greatness of Rotary is the living of it - and the sharing of it, and passing it on to others."

Are you a friendly Rotarian? Do you make it a point to sit and visit with our visitors? Do you shake their hands at the end of the meeting and ask them to be sure to come back? There should be a spontaneous demonstration of cordial friendliness which every member extends to the visitors.

Many of our members never take advantage of the opportunity to meet and talk with visitors. If you wish to enjoy Rotary fellowship, friendship and acquaintance, in their fullest sense, you should acquire this habit. Make our visitors leave with a desire to "make up" again at our club.

At the 1910 Convention the 16 Clubs decided on 10 Directors, including the President as ex-officio. Three were elected for three years, three for two years, and three for one year.

There was a General Committee of 16, one from each club and this Committee chose the President and nine Directors.

At the Portland Convention in 1911 it was decided to elect all for one year. In 1915 the General Committee was eliminated and the Board reduced to 5. A President and a 1st, 2nd and 3rd Vice President. The Immediate Past President was the 5th and the open Convention chose the 5.

It is well to remember that our Rotary Club only loans a classification and the Board of the Club may call the loan at any time. Several have taken court action, but no one ever won.

When we are asked to talk before the club on our business, we should talk about the drug or grocery or banking business in a general way, and not advertise our own individual business.

Vice-President 1959-1960.

This beautiful park, dedicated to peace is on the border between Alberta and Montana. In the year 1932 the governments of U.S. and Canada proclaimed "That the two parks should henceforth be known as the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park". This is a lasting monument to the Rotary Clubs of Alberta and Montana, which through their love of harmony, peace and understanding, furnished the inspiration for and sponsored this Rotary project, which has proven to be such an example of friendship between nations, that we understand it has been the leader for other such parks throughout the Rotary world.

Following out the good neighbor idea, it was decided to form a "Peace Park Organization" with officers and directors from both Alberta and Montana Rotary Clubs and to alternate the meetings, so that one year "Prince of Wales Hotel at Waterton", with the Alberta Clubs as hosts, would be the gathering place, then the following year, we would all meet at "Glacier Park Lodge" in East Glacier and the Montana Clubs would be in charge.

Many Rotarians, from various clubs throughout districts 539 and 536, contributed greatly to the ever increasing interest in this gathering, but it would be impossible to mention them all, however, we feel, that the name of President Emeritus the Venerable Archdeacon S. H. Middleton now of Claresholm, Alberta, but formerly the resident Minister of the Blood Indian School at Cardston, is

Page 219

one that bears mention. The Archdeacon was the first President of the association, which office he held, for many years and gave unstintingly of his time and effort, to build the original organization into todays wonderful living example of the fourth avenue of ROTARY'S platform.

Friday, July 27.

This year we left 626 Riverdale, about eleven A.M. Friday July 27th. It was a lovely warm, summer morn and we sailed along, on our four lane highway, which formed a walk between the green feed crops, that alternated with grain already touched, by the golden glow of harvest.

We decided to go from Macleod, by way of Pincher Creek, to Waterton Lakes, as that approach to the mountains and to the park, is very beautiful, with "Big Chief" mountain rising like a mammoth altar, against the sky blue background, making one appreciate the glory of nature and the greatness of our Maker.

Upper Waterton Lake stretches between high ranges of rocky cliffs on either side; its lower shore being in Montana, so that even the lake is International. We had planned to have a round of golf, but the clouds were heavy and "Thor" seemed particularly annoyed with we mortals, so we were content, to relax on Emerald Bay, watching the water skiing and pleasure boating.

Page 220.

Saturday mourning we drove through woods, over streams and around mountain curves, to cross the border into Montana; where we drove past beautiful St. Mary' s Lake and Two Medicine Lake, arriving at "Glacier Park Lodge", just in time for lunch.

The Indians name is "Big Tree Lodge" as huge unpeeled logs, standing some fifty feet high, are used both inside and out, in the construction of this interesting, rambling hotel.

The "Peace Park Association" hold its business meetings, where new officers are elected and other points of international interest are discussed, on Saturday afternoon. There is a good golf course and putting greens, for those who care to play and card games are arranged for the ladies.

In the evening the Annual Banquet is held, followed by the usual toasts, entertainment and an outstanding speaker. This year the Havre Club of Montana were hosts, with Dix Shevelier of Helena, President of the Association, as chairman. The Speaker was Dr. Ballentine Henley, P.D.G. from Los Angeles, who gave us a stirring address, entitled, "Man Among the Stars". The Honorable Fred Colborne, who represented the Alberta Government, spoke briefly on the wonderful example set by our two countries, that all nations with common boundaries might learn to follow, and live together in peace and harmony. This splendid evening was concluded with dancing and fellowship.

Page 221

The Sunday morning worship service was conducted by the Reverend William Copeland, P.D.G. from Polson, Montana, who left with us the thought provoking message, "I would rather be a Pagan". Following the service, we gathered on the lawn around the Cairn erected to the memory of dearly beloved Past President Tom Davis of Butte, Montana and also to commemorate the great work of President Emeritus, the Venerable Archdeacon Middleton. The Americans stand on one side of a ribbon, which symbolizes our International Boundary, while the Canadians form on the other side. After greetings from the Governor of Montana Tim Babcock, Honorable F. Colborne of Alberta, Gov. Carson Bechtel of District 539, and Governor Mel Melhoff of District 536, a prayer was offered for international understanding; then all joined hands across the border and repeated a pledge, followed by the benediction.

After luncheon, many of the members depart for home, but we always stay until the following morning, as do also our dear friends, Past President Everett Hill and his charming wife, Cleo, from Polson, Montana. We enjoy an evening of wonderful friendship and reminiscing.

On our way home, we stopped at Claresholm Hospital, to visit Archdeacon Middleton and give him the news of a very successful and enjoyable meeting. His greeting to us was, "I was sure someone would come", so

Page 222

we were happy to have brought pleasure to such a wonderful man.

And so "Goodbye" until July 1963. Another fine gathering of Rotary friends is over. A wonderful annual experience.

The late Tom J. Davis of Butte, Montana, President of R.I. in 1941-42 and who presided at the Toronto Convention in 1942, was an important figure in organizing this Peace Park project and attended every year until his passing on October 22nd, 1953.

The Clipsheet- June 1963.

That you were only "loaned" your classification because your fellow members believed you to be the best representative in our community to do this. Job? Then why not show your ability and aptitude by doing the best Job that can be done? You only have to prove it to your fellow Rotarians to show that you deserve this honor!

FINES

No dues were collected until 1908 but fines were imposed freely. When Paul resigned as President of the Chicago Club in 1908 he reported fines of $533.00 collected in the last year and $1.84 on hand. Then dues of 50¢ per half month were collected. At the 1910 convention there was a real argument over whether the dues should be $1. or $2. per year. The $2. fee was decided on as a minimum.

NOTE - After being President of the Chicago Club for 1 1/2 years, Paul resigned and at that time he asked that the habit of fining be discontinued.

1. Lord fill my mouth with stuff but nudge me when I've said enough.

2. Make my words sound really plausible to those I'm about to deceive.

3. Make me as truthful and outstanding as the incidentals in my expense account.

4. Help me to disagree with my fellow Rotarians without being disagreeable.

5. Make me worthy of the high esteem in which I hold myself.

When the 1964 Convention is held in Toronto in 1964 then it will be third for Toronto. St. Louis will have its third in 1963. San Francisco had its 3rd in 1947. Chicago had 1910 which was the organization meeting with only 69 there. Then it had the 25th Anniversary in 1930 and the 50th in1955. That makes three but that city also had 1944-45 because of restrictions in travel. Atlantic City 1920 – 1936 -1946 and 1951 so is really the only city chosen four times under ordinary conditions.
