NAGA HARELIPS OPERATION GIVEN FREE BY CLUB Past President Dick's pet project is still on the go! He has again made a successful operation on harelips a pet project of his when he was our in- cumbent prexy last year. Dick's term as president has expired last June 30th, but for the good of ser- vice to the Community any harelip brought before him is attended. Aside from the members of the Club, he has asked the help of the public schools' Supervising Principals in the province of Camari- nes Sur to recruit harelips and bring them to his hospital anytime for gratis operation. TACLOBAN CLUB CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY, REPORTS ACHIEVEMENTS Last month, the Rotary Club celebrated the anniversary of its charter with appropriate ceremonies. On that occasion a review of the achievements of the club was reported, such list comprising a certainly impressive record. The achievements of the club are quoted as follows: 1. TOWN BEAUTIFICATION The Rotary Club of Tacloban has underta- ken town beautification projects. Outstanding among them is the beautification of the Pla- za 30 de Diciembre with the building of a fountain in the form of a huge Rotary wheel, a concrete bandstand, pergolas, benches, a skat- ing rink skirting the plaza combined with the flowers, the trees, the hedges, and the artistic electric posts donated by the Rotary Anns. Presently under study is the beautification of the city streets by planting tall shady trees and Bermuda grass by the streetsides. 2. PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILDING The Rotary Club of Tacloban provided the city with the first post-war Public Library Building. The building, a quonset hut, was a donation to the city. Today, inasmuch as the Public Library has transferred to its new site and the building is not anymore used for the purpose for which it was donated, the Club has reclaimed it from the city for another project. 3. DISTRICT ASSEMBLY The Rotary Club of Tacloban played host to other clubs in the District during the District.

That was the day when the Batangas Club commemorated the birthday of the late President Quezon and Bert Parsons brought with him a recorded tape contain- ing portions of speeches of the late President. SAN PABLO Manila Rotarian Yang Sepeng was the guest speaker of the San Pablo Club on August 3rd. On August 16th, Past President of the Manila Club, Vince Bunuan, was the guest speaker. The subject of his talk was the late President Manuel Luis Quezon. About the same subject, the official organ of the Rotary Club of San Pablo, "The Coco Ro- taria" published the following editorial: A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE PRESIDENT MANUEL LUIS QUEZON.. This week we are celebrating the birthday of the late President Manuel Luis Quezon, orator, leader, fighter and man of destiny. The tribute or ho- mage we pay him, often falls short of his real stature. Our failure to appraise him properly is due largely to our inability to know him as he was, and secondarily to insufficiency or inadequacy of expression. In either case, we cannot do full justice to him or to ourselves, however sincere and honest we may be in our attempt. We have known the late President by his long and patriotic services rendered to our country and people, as an officer of our Revolutionary Army, as Provincial Fiscal, as Provincial Governor of Tayabas, as Member of the Philippine Assembly, as Resident Commissioner in Congress of the United States of America, as Senator and President of the Philippine Senate, and as President of the Philip- pines, he had been recognized as a great national leader in our struggles for political emancipation, as a champion of our people's rights and liberties, and as the most zealous guardian of our country's welfare, prosperity and happiness. We have known him also by his indefatigable ef- forts to secure the approval of the Jones Law and of the Tydings-McDuffie Act by the Congress of the United States of America, he had ranked him- self among the greatest
