ROTARIANS HEAR ' ELLIOTT SPEAK Rotarian Phil Elliott spoke to the Sylva Rotary Club, Tuesday J night, on "George Washington's ( Farewell Address". Mr. Elliott , discussed the address with refer- ' ence to Washington'ss^remarks r regarding a president serving a, | third term. |( Mr. Elliott said that we have given more importance to a pass- j ing remark in the address than to the main theme of the speech, i plea for national unity. Mr. El- F liott pointed out that Washing- 1 ton said in the address that he t had written a farewell address at 1 she close of his first term; but shat due to a precarious foreign t situation he had decided to serve * lis country a second time, and c shat had it not been for the * foreign situation at the close of r Washington's first term,we might lave had a precedent agaiilst a president serving two terms.
