President Os Rotary
John Graham Presented
Past President’s
Button
Oscar H. Brown was installed as
president of the Edenton Rotary Club
at last Thursday’s meeting, with the
brief ceremony being conducted by
John W. Graham, retiring president.
In accepting the presidency Mr.
Brown made a plea for the coopera
tion of every member of the Club
and urged upon the members to use
their influence upon former members
to re-instate in the Club.
In stressing attendance at the
meetings Mr. Brown asked the Ro
tj»rinna to strive to have at least one
100 per cent meeting each month,
suggesting the first Thursday in
each month. “If we accomplish this,”
he said, “there is a strong possibility
of accidentally having more than one
perfect meeting in some of the
months.”
As a token of appreciation for his
services as president the past year,
John W. Graham was presented with
a Rotary Past President’s button, the
presentation being made by Secre
tary John A. Holmes. In giving up
the office Mr. Graham, in behalf of
the new president, urged members to
cooperate with Mr. Brown, especially
stressing attendance and payment of
dues, citing every member who was
in arrears and the amount owing the
Club.

Let me keep just one little memory
To cherish against the day, when,
alone,
I will stand on the brink of eternity
As on the edge of a garden full
blown.
Give me one small flower to wear in
my heart—
Not bravado’s garlands to hide my
pain—
And let me wear my one little flower
A memory gayly and not in vain.

Humorous Story

By WILL ROGERS !
1 >HF. Worst Joke I heard today
* was told to me by an English
actor. It is a little illustration of
English tact. A lady was engaging
a new Butler, and she impressed on
each applicant the importance of
tact.
“The great question is, have you
tact ? It needs great tact to handle
mv house. We have all kinds of
guests.”
“Lady, I am noted for my tact,"
replied the applicant.
“Well, will you give me any il
lustration of some of your tact?”
“Well, Madam, in my last place
I was' among various duties sup
posed to clean the nickleware or
the bathroom, faucets. One day or
entering a bathroom, there, right
before my very eyes, was a Ladj
standing just ready to enter the
tub. What did I do, Ma’am? 1
just said, ‘T beg your pardon, Sir,'
aqd withdrew.”
