C., Tuesday, October 13, 1953 District Governor Pays Annual Visit To Rotary Club Rotary International has en joyed an amazing growth inspired by its ideal of service, District Gov ornor P. D. Midgette, Jr., told members of the Zebulon Rotary Club last Friday night. The head of District 278, which extends from Burlington to the Atlantic Ocean, paid his official visit to the Zebu lon group and conducted a special assembly for officers following the meeting. The District Governor cited the history of Rotary to show how it began and grew without benefit or need of paid organizers through the efforts of its members. Begun in Chicago in 1905 by a lawyer, Paul Harris, it gained its name of Rotary from the original practice of rotating its meetings to include the businesses of all its members. It became international in 1910 when a club was organized in Can ada, and today there are 8,000 clubs in 88 countr ; ?s with more than 375,000 members. Among projects of community service encouraged by Rotary is work with crippled children. Gov ernor Midgette called attention to the Tarboro Rotary Club which has sponsored an orthopedic clinic for some years, performing a won derful service. At the time the Rotary Club at Englehard was organized, the town was the smallest in the world to have a Rotary organization. Gov. Midgette is a charter member of the Englehard club. During the club assembly he re viewed the work of the committees of the local club, offering sugges tions made at the international Rotary Convention held last sum mer at Lake Placid, New York.
