' At the regular weekly meeting of the Warsaw Rotary Club last Thursday afternoon the reti ing President, Earle Wall delivered the following address, which was immediately preceded by the Sec retary report given by Paul Pot ter: President Aubrey and Fellow Ro tarians: Custom decrees that the retir ing P.-esident shall make a report on the happenings of the year of office. You have just heard the Secretary-Treasurer's report, also It seems to be his privilege to brag a little on what has been ac ' complished. The short comings are too numerous to mention. As In everyday life there have been high spots and low spots. Last Summer the Treasury was so low that some of the Rotary Anns served the Club at their homes, partly in order to cut down expenses. In November we lost our devoted Barney and our Club was at it's lowest ebb. A membership of 13 resident members. Others were in the Armed services, Finn Lee, Robert West, Tommy Gresham, Hector McNiel, Litcb Huie and Bill Sheffield. As was the custom the teacher were entertained at supper at the Legion Hut iq September. This ; suddenly broke up with an air raid alarm. Last Fall a bright idea came to one of our members, in fact, our New President, Aubrey. That was, that each member sub mit a list of projects that he thought worth while. A commit tee then chose from this pool quite a - number that they thought practical. It is true not all of these projects . were brought to a suc- cessful conclusion, though the fol- lowing were or are continuing ac tivitles: " 1.
