| Summary, etc. | "A Small Drop in a Big Bucket, but in Line with Fourth Object." - So said the chairman of the international service committee of the Rotary Club of Fillmore, California, U.S.A., in describing that club's aid to refugees and bombed-out persons in Western Germany. Upon receipt of a letter from the Rotary Club of Fillmore, expressing its desire to do something for people in Germany, the secretariat put the club in touch with District Governor Robert Haussmann of Stuttgart, Germany. As a result, Fillmore Rotarians sent 44 standard CARE packages to 34 Rotary clubs and to former Rotarians in cities where there were clubs. before the war. Ten extra packages were sent to six cities where conditions are worst. In acknowledging the order, the director of the Western Center for CARE in Los Angeles said: "It is particularly heartwarming to me who has spent many years in this work, to find a group such as yours extending real meaning of friendship to former enemies of ours as you did in your contribution of CARE packages to Rotary clubs in Germany. It is only through gestures of this kind that our nation can find the peace it is seeking." Across the country in the State of Pennsylvania, the Rotary Club of Catasaqua likewise did an outstanding job in helping the people of Wilhelmshaven, Germany. In cooperation with Governor Haussmann, this small club of 34 members collected and sent five large cartons of clothing to the Rotary Club of Wilhelmshaven to be distributed to men, women and children of that city. These cartons contained clothing of almost every variety and its collection represented a tremendous amount of work on the part of Catasaqua Rotarians. Aren't these two examples of fine results achieved when we set ourselves a little private task and bend our efforts to the accomplishment of that task-rather than succumbing to a feeling of futility that anything we can do will be too small to count? Is This a Record? - Governor Victor Webb of District 33 (part of Australia) asks this question in describing the charter meeting of the Rotary Club of Geraldton, to which visiting Rotarians and guests traveled great distances. The nearest club, Perth, is over 300 miles away. Seven clubs were represented at the Geraldton Charter meeting, and the passenger unit miles traveled totaled 31,200! Vie says, "Rotary means something to the Rotarians of the 33rd District." Be Courteous to Your Speakers. Frequently individuals are invited to speak before Rotary clubs without an understanding as to payment of expenses. At the meeting nothing is said. After the meeting nothing happens with reference to the subject. Obviously, if a Rotary club initiates an invitation to speak, it should indicate whether it intends to pay the man's out-of-pocket expenses. Then there can be no misunderstanding. Common courtesy requires an expression of appreciation to your speaker after the meeting, especially if he is not a paid lecturer. Even here, in the interest of good public relations, a note of thanks should be sent. When your speaker arrives in town he should be conducted to the meeting, someone should be assigned to extend hospitality to him so that he is not left to wander about in a strange city, and someone should help him check his wraps and conduct him to his place at the luncheon. Helping Displaced Persons. - The Rotary Club of Columbiana, Ohio, U.S.A., working through its international service committee, has established a school for displaced persons and is teaching them English, reading, and writing. Forty displaced persons from the district, most of them native Latvians, will be the first pupils. ----- It has been said: "Ignorance is one thing that costs even more than education does." |
