he is physically able to play, and

sponsoring a dance in the gymna

ertson, Luther Massey, and Rob
ert Daniel Massey make up their
attendance. Some had already at
tended another club. Those ab
sent were away on business. It
is reasonably certain they will
make up their attendance. Dud
ward Chamblee had the program.
He had for his speaker Carter
Harrow, Rotarian Governor. Mr.
Darrow gave an interesting talk
describing the various clubs he
had visited, as follows:
A one-man club, one man
thought he was broad enough to
see both sides of the question and
rule the club; a Rotary Club
where the ex-presidents thought
they should rule; a self-satisfied
club—the club felt like they were
doing everything and no improve
ments could be made; a talking
club—several parties took up all
the time; a serious club—the club
took everything seriously and
there was very little humor in it;
an eating club—the members did
n’t seem to get anything out of
the club except a good meal. Mr.
Harrow's choice of clubs wag one
that sang and enjoyed each
other’s fellowship.
