Shep Bryan, District Head
Visits Asheboro Rotarians
Governor of District Outlines
Objectives on Civic
Nature*
Shep Bryan, of Dunn, governor of
the 188 Rotary districts, made his
first official visit to the Asheboro
club Friday.
His message was of an official
nature.
He outlined the beginning and
the progress of Rotary since the or
ganization was first set up by some
busine33 men in Chicago 32 year3
ago.
The objects of Rotary have gone
far beyond what was contemplat
ed in tin early beginning of the or
ganization. At first the chief pur
pose was fellowship. Men of kin
dred minds, though of different vo
cations, met together to fraternize
with each other, and to provide for
themselves that refreshing and
strengthening of spirit that comeS
from such informal and personal
contacts. That purpose of Rotarv
and that Rotary benefit, is still one
of the chief ends of the organiza
tion, and will continue to be so as
long as Rotary exists, said the gov
ernor. That he said is fundamen
tal in its purpose.
But in its actual workings, Ro
tary has expanded much beyond its
original objectives. Concrete pro
jects of community betterment, in

munity life and progress, is not

Fall.
New York, Oct. 9.—Uft—The Sa|
viet government, engaged in -JHW
rope’s headlong armaments race,
has authorized commercial agents
here to purchase $50,000,0|p0 worth
of naval equipment for export to
Russia in the immediate future, it
was disclosed today.
Morris Wolf, counsel for the Carp
Export and Import Corp., of New
York, -which is negotiating the
huge deal, said the war material
will consist of pre-fabricated parts
-of battleships and other types of
fighting craft—turrets, armor plate
propelling machinery, boilers and
engines and 16-inch naval guns.
The corporation is the special
munitions purchasing organization
for the Soviet government, he said,
and is headed by Samuel Carp of
Bridgeport, Confi., a banker and oil
industrialist. Carp, an American
citizen, is a brother-in-law of Pre
mier V. M. Molotoff of Russia.
The state department’s Sep
tember report of licenses issued for
the export of arms, munitions and
implements of war showed Russia
was licensed to take out more than
$10,000,000 worth of war materials
in the initial installment of the
$60,000,000 order. The licenses in
cluded S2,250,000 for guns, $1,500,
000 for ammunition, and $1,000,000
for explosives.
and programs. Such for instance,
as the cripple children clinic, the
defective eye clinic for children,
and vocational training for youth,
such as the Asheboro club is foster
ing, illustrate the concrete local ob
jectives of Rotary.
In addition to this varied active
local program, Rotary International
concerns itself with international
relations with a view to bringing
about a better understanding am
ong the nations toward each other,
creating a spirit of brotherhood,
and fostering that sort of interna
tional fellowship that will make
war impossible. The governor de
clared that it is his belief that for
the next thirty years of Rotary
life the main objective will be in
ternational relations. The Rotary
spirit and purpose he believes will
have a mighty influence in pro
moting national good will and the
ending of war. Rotary is expand
ing, and is now world-wide in its
scope and influence. As it grows
its power for both local and world
wide service will become an ever
increasing agency and mighty force
for good.
The governor’s visit to the club
was much appreciated and his ad
dress was well received.
One visitor was present, Jeffe
i Ramseur.

Paris, Oct. 10 (Sunday)—
Sources close to the French

The sources declared, posi

forces.
London, Oct. 9.—(.4*)—Italy re

The action confronted Great Bri

“utmost gravity.”
Replying to the joint invitation
in which the two countries proposed
the conference, Italy refused to en

is invited and attends.
She suggested that non-interveir

to be dealt with by the 27 nations

Olficials here and in Paris ex

and declared the reply “was not

Possible Anglo-French steps, ac
