Fully wo hundred members of the Norwich, New landz New Haven and Willimantic Rotary cl With their guests wers present enjoying .every minute of an evening during which the gpirit of good fellowship and the true spirit of Rotary reigned supreme. Noth- ing for the entertainment of the guests was omitted and the pi . from the overture to the Gopd Night, Ladies, at the close of the dancing, was attrac- tive, inciuding several numbers by lacal entertainers as well as talented profes- sionals. Promptly at 7 o'clock the two hundred guesis assembled at the beautifully dec- orated banquet tables in the dining hall where, after the singing of America and the asking of the blessing by Rev. W. A. Keefe, 2 most attractive menu was sérv- ed. The table decorations were by Ernst and were baskets of cut of , ferns, potted plants, artistically .gm Mr. Ernst presented each of the ladies with a bouquet of roses. ® Seated at the head table with Past President Joseph C.

Mayor Herbert M, Lerou in a brief ad- dress of welcome extnedod the greetings of the Norwich club to their guests at their first event in honor of the ladies. He expressed the club's appresiation of the splendid co-operation of the New London men in organizing the local club and also extended good wishes for syc- cess of the Willimantic club which is the child of the Norwich club. Mayor Lerou spoke briefly on what Rotary - stands for and itg building up power in any com- munity.

Howard of Broad strest was sung with enthusiasm/ The song is a humorous sketch of the mayors of the three clties, Norwich, New London and Willimantie. Presentation of Gifts. . Another feature of the programme that created no little mirth was the presenta- tion of gifts. These gifts were many and varied, there being silk stockings, cigars, articles of women's apparel, furniture and household goods, donsted by mem- bers of the three clubs. The presenta- tion was made by Frank Foss, president of the Willimantic club. The presentation was made by drawing of numbers and Dame Fortune riade no discriminations, the ladies drawing cigars while the men perchance drew a pair of silk- hose or a box of candy. James G. Hammond of New London drew a pair of guinea pigs which he said, when called upen for a speech, would be reared as Rotarians. The presentation of the gifts was mad between the dinner courses, Cabaret Pregramme. As the first number of the cabaret pro- sramme was Kubanoff, moveity violinist, an_accomplished player Wi classical and popular renderings wers “thoroughly appreciated. The second number was Miss Ray Sapphire, 3 gem of the vocal world, who responded. to several encores. The last of the cabaret numbers was Willlam Connery, who saw service With the YD division “over there” and kept his buddies from the terrors of the blues. Mr. Connery's eontagious humor and war stories were bright and clever. Betary Entertalners From New Londom. After the cabaret programme C. C. Costello of New London, in responding to the urgent demands for a spesch, told of some of his experiences in the legis- tature. As “Conny” always looks on the bright side of life and with a great big smile goes through life he finds much that is amusing even In such an austers body as the general assembiy. Hig stor- les brought the smiles to the faces of his hearers and his “that reminds me of & story’™ brought forth applause. Not to be outdone as an entertainer, President James P. Sullivan of the New London club, when called upon to say & few words, smiled a great big smile and began his “address.” From the minuf he smiled until he sat down thers was not a minute when the mirth his remarks brought forth subsided and the applause accorded him would have dome credit to the best efforts of a Harry Lauder or an A1 Jolson. Frank R. Murdy, baritone, was heard in The King of the Winds, and his ren- dition of this number brought forth ap- plause forcing him to_respond with two encores, Sunyise and You, and I Sort o' Miss You. o Address by e Haven Rotarisn. Mr. Worth tnen introduced. Donald A. Adams, past president of the New Ha- ven Rotary club. ‘Mr. Adams in his ad- dress, What Rotary Means to Me, said in part: There are many things in the world which are wrong, dead wreng, and no words or explanations can- make them right. We hear men say the community ought ® do this or the public ought to do that. The community is the sum of one of one man and another and another; the public is one individual plus another in- dividual. When I say “the communlty ought” or “the publie ought” it means T ought or it means nothing. What is the remedy then? Just this—the educa- tion of each individual to take upon him- self the solution of these problems. This is just what Rotary 15 doing.

Under the church whica 1 attend in New Haven lies the body of the wife of Benedict Arnold. You all know that Arpold was a man of culture, education, and great ability. But he became bit- ter through a thwarted _ambition and turned traitor. Aaron Burr went to Princeton and whils there decided that he had sach a briliant mind and strang personality that he could live without a moral code. He became another arch traitor. Rotary tries to kecp its mem- bers true to themselves and to their fel- lowmen. Eotary belleves men develop by know- ing other men intimately. Do you real- ize how much we learn by contwct—by merely coming into touch with things and people?

DECISCO OLUB MAKES HIT IN FIRST PUBLIC APPEABANCE The Decisos club, Norwich's newest musical organization, made its first public appearance Thursday ‘evening in a splen- did concert programi heid ut the Com- munity house under the auspices of liope Rebekah lodge, No. 21, L O. G 'F, The club made & decidodly favorable impres- sion on the audience of several hundred Who were delighted with the excellently rendered solc and chorus numbers. The Decisco club gives promise of becoming ope of the leading clubs of its kind in the state. Prof. Hugh Kinder, leader, is to be complimented on the successful ap- pearance of the club. The program of carefully selected and attractively ar- ranged numbers was carried out in pro- fessional style. All the singers possees voices of exceptional merit and it would be difficult to single out any one of the soloists as the particular star of, the evening. William Dunston, president of the club, welcomed the audience in behalf of the| He says:— Rebekah lodge, under whose auspices the entertainment was held. The program opened promptly at § o'clock with a s lection, Forget-Mg-Not, by the chorus. The first solo nufber was Prayer, fror The Jewels of the Madonna, which w; rendered in sweet tenor by Arthur Han- gether with other men. Aloui a menth 2go one of our mempers Who has a re- sponsible position with & Jarge indushy sat down beside me for our weekly lurch- on. He had been on -« trip througn ibe west for six weeks and iic said, “I never was more blue in my life than I am now. What arg you doing tonight, can't you come arcnd and ee me?' T went to his house in the aveniag and spen* two hours during which he wnburdened )is mind and we had a splenlid visit. Do you think I spent that evenng without being made a bigger man? /It you do, you do not understand human nature. Friendship a Great Farce. Rotary belleves that friendship is one of the greatest forces in the world and thet most of the troubles that exist be tween men could be mended if we could all be really friendly. I am not going to enlarge upon this except to give some quotations. Most men make friends easily enough; fow keep them. They do not give the subject the care, and thought and trouble it requires and deserves. We want the pleasure of soclety without the duty. We would 1ike to get the good of our friends, without burdening-Gurselves with any re- sponsibilty about keeping them friends.— Hugh Black. Friendship is one of the largest factors of success not only in the social but aiso in the commercial and political worlds. Many a merchant is carried through a crisis by his friends when the strict laws of business would have dropped him into ruin. It was Lincoin's immeasureable capacity for friendship that made his eplendid career possible.—T. T. Munger. He who has made friends, loyal and true—if they have been friends in vari- ous circumstances aif! lines of life—may Dbe sure that he has partly succeeded in life end has not wholly failed. It is not simply that he is happier because he has troops of friends around him, but he has 50 much right to say that “He did the thing that he was sent to do."—Edward Everett Hale. Builds Leaders of Men. Rotary is building leaders of men. These weekly luncheons and dinners, the educational and inspirational talks we hear month after montl§ the appreciation of the other fellow which we gain through the intimate acquaintance of Rotary all unconsciously build our characters and stiffen our backbones. F. D. Van Am- burgh of the New York City Rotary club Wrote the following a few davs ago: ‘ “The leader of men must serve in or- der to be served. He must have (excuse me) the ‘guts’ to be fair wit hall con- cerntd. He must have the knowledge of his business and the abilit yto impart this knowledge. He must have the idea of industrial harmony, and then insist on reasonable pay for reasonable work. His self control must bt sure, then his control of others will be secure. The world is in need of tall timber.” Membership Qualifications. And now just & wotd about membership in’ Rotary. ~What are the qualifications? In our colleges and universi¥es we have honor societies known as Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. Members are elected te these organizations because of excellence in study and the attainment of a certain mark in their work. I have sometimes thought that Rotary might be called the honor society for business and profes- sional men, at any rate in the electing of members we should be governed by certain standards. To be a good Rotarian a man must have a degree of success in s calling not only to enable him to Droperly represent his classification but part of the load. Rotary is not a hospital or a erformatory. I believe that a man's Buccess as & citizen is of more importance than his success in a financial way. A Rotarian ought to be ome who naturally takes a great interest in and feels a deep| responsibility for the welfare of his com- munity. Some clubs will not accept a man who is not already a member of the local Chamber of Commerce simply be- cause that is an indication of one’s real civic interest. A man must be absolutely clean, moral- 1y and every othey way, both in his pri- vate and public life, o be a Rotarian. As one speaker recently put it—Rotary brought into existence a new kind of stag! party—one at which a lady would always feel at home. There Is absolutely no place at any Rotary gathering for suggestive stories or ribald jests. Rotary tries {0 get us all to be boys again. Why? Not simply for the sake of getting us to act like kids but because boyhood is essentially frank, honest and without sham. _This idea of calling each other Harry, Tom and Joe is for thig purpose. You can't be stiff and formal after you get the habit of calling a man by his first name and then as soon as you eliminate the titles you begin to think of each other as ordinary human beings, Semg Numbers Pleasing.
