There is nothing hasty and unconsidered about the appeal. It is not a flight of fancy of the Juneau editor. It has been discussed by the Club for many months. It portrays a brilliant and delightful three-day vacation trip, one which thousands of tourists from different parts of the world come every year to enjoy. It is a sensible and straightforward appeal by a small Club, worthy and deserving ' of consideration. Rotary's future extension, we know, is intimately tied up in the develop- ment of these small, obscure and hidden Clubs, which, given the opportunity, are as ready and eager to carry out the four great objects as are Clubs in cities of a million population. Thousands of Rotarians today are prepar- ing to travel thousands of miles, and at great personal expense, to attend the International Convention in France. Three days of water travel through this northern wonderland is | not an effort—it’s a dream. Juneau Rotarians i have prepared, and are ready to submit their case.
