It needs no qualifying adjective, such as “ ” “firm” or “genuine” friend- ship, because the word in itself connotes those and all Other qualities that are essential in a noble manhood, Patting » man on the back, or greeting him with a cheerful “Hello, there!” may or may not be an indication of friendship. Sometimes behind the patting and the greet- ing may be an ulterior motive, and friendship has no ul- terior motive. Besides, it is not demonstrative. Men who are friends (keep in ‘mind the inclusiveness of the word) n't remind each other that they are friends. A friend, does a favor for a friend, does not think of any ad- Vantages or profits that may accrue to him by the: per- formance of that favor. So much:for friendship. Incident- ally, Cicero’s essay on friendship is considered the great- Hore, on that subject. ca ‘Bervice,” the other word Miss Raymer used, is a alone in the realm of efficiency in every good in “any; calling if service : his. is toward that segment of so- ciety with which he deals or by which he is employed. You are not a good ¢mployer or employe or a good public official if you “lay down” on your job, whatever it may be. And service embodies the idea of promptness, .satis- faction and tiptoe readiness to act when called upon to act. Key West Rotarians should feel a deep sense of pride in: this remark made by Miss Raymer:. ‘Total ab- sence of prejudice in politics “and ‘religion.” The ugly heads of bigotry and political conniving have never been raised at a Key West Rotary Club luncheon. The Rota- rians’ only religion, so far as their acting as a club is con- cerned, is that a man is the sole architect of his own life and the way he chooses to live it. The thing that has evoked our greatest admiration for the Key West Rotary Club is its good fellowship and the leveling of the members to the same size when they enter St. Paul’s Parish House for their weekly luncheon. | ¢4 Assuming a member dared to “put on dog,” he would be greeted with a grand ha-ha, Every member is the same size, on the same level, whether the top of his head ecrapes the ceiling, as Horace’s does, or is just a little above the level of the table, as is the heads of a few of Your troubles do not interest other people. ~ Too many arm-chair generals waste their genius on civilian comrades, ONE OFFICER AND FIVE ENLISTED MEN are new arrivals aboard the USS Sennet at the Key West Naval Base.
