tional at a special . session, on]
Sunday, June 9, which featured
a message of welcome and invi_ |

Bru, president of Cuba, and the
first general session of the con-]

statesman of Managua, Nicara
gua, second vice-president of Ro

sage of Rotary’s founder and pre-j
sident emeritus, Paul P. Harris
of Chicago.
Rotary Founder Harris, addres |
sing the more than 3,000 assemb
led Rotarians and guests, said:
“Rotary has made itself a minia
ture model of a world at peace.
All great projects must first have
their miniature models. Thi-;
holds good in the project of a
world peace. To create a world
wide felowship out of sixty dif
ferent elements, each with its
numerous religious and political
subdivisions, would in the begin-1
ring (of Rotary) have seemed]
like an idle dream, but while.
Rotary is and has always been]
idealistic, at least, its idealism has!
proven to be practical Rotary
has actually become a part of
the civic life of sixty nations
I have no hesitation in saying
that world peace could be ach
ieved and be made permanent if
reared on Rotary’s firm founda
tion of friendliness, tolerance,
and usefulness.”
Armando de Arruda Pereira,'
tile and brick manufacturer of
Sao Paulo, Brazil, was then un
animously elected president of
Rotary International for 1940-41,

“Mv Favorite Wife”
Starts Controversy
Considerable controversy may
be precipitated when “My Favor
ite Wife” makes its local screen
debut.
“My Favorite Wife” features a
streamlined twist to the Enoch
Arden story, with a wife, return
ing after a seven-year absence to
| find that she has been declared
legally dead, and that her hus
band has just remarried.
Irene Dunne portrays the mis
sing wife, Gail Patrick is the
“other bride” and Cary Grant,
co-starred with Miss Dunne, is
the husband.
Ann Shoemaker, who depicts
Grant’s mother, opined on the
RKO Radio set that the second
wife gets >a pretty tough deal.
“After all, she marries Grant
in good faith and certainly has
some right in the matter.”
Miss Dunne and Miss Patrick
agreed, and said they feel sorTy
for the bride.
“That’s all very well,” Direc
tor Garson Kanin spoke up, “but
how about the first wife? She
certainly baa some rights in the
matter also.”

Indications of the increasing in
terstate flow of home mortgage
funds are shown in an analysis]
cf the distribution of local and
out-cf-state lending under the (
"HA’: insured mortgage system
'ast year, Federal Housing admin
istrator Stewart McDonald an
nounced today.
Home mortgages covering out
of-state properties for insurance]
by the FHA in 1939 from local in-1
stitutiens amounted 1 to $97,820.-
558, or 13.2 percent of the gross]
amount of $741,064,764 of all mort
gages rcepted, Mr. McDonald
said. This compares with $59,254,
021, or 9.1 percent of the amount
of $650,160,101 accepted in 1928.

irj increasingly from this free
flow l of' mortgage funds across
state lines, Mr. McDonald said, a
condition made possible by es

nized mortgage standards under
the National Housing Act.
Also, he pointed out that there
were six states last year with lo
cal institutions advancing more
than 30 percent of their insured
mortgage funds cn out-of-state
properties, against four in 1938,
and ten states with more than
30 percent of local insured mort
gages originated toy out-of-state
institutions, against four in 1938.
Wide variation marked the out
flow and inflow of insured mort
gage funds last year for the indi
vidual states. Among the states
with institutions advancing a lar- 1
ge proportion of their
funds on out-of-state properties
last year were Vermont with]
78.7 percent of the amount of
all insured mortgages originated!
by its Iceal institutions covering
out-cf-state properties; Minne
sota with 78 percent, District of
Columbia 71.9, Delaware 66.5,
New Jersey 39.6 and Kentucky
34.8.
