The Rotary Balita no. 738 (January 28, 1954)

Rotary Club, Cagayan de Misamis, Philippines of District 48 is starting a "Know Your World" project as a means of creating international understanding and cementing international friendship. The Club is building a Public Library which will contain representative magazines, books and other literature on every country and people, especially where Rotarians live. This will be a good substitute measure as Rotarians there may not all travel around the world for a first hand contact with friends abroad. So, they have requested our Chairman of the International Service Committee to see if copies of current magazines or books, depicting our ways of life, could be sent there to help them to understand our people and "feel as one among them." They would not be able to pay for such magazines or books due to import and exchange controls, but would be quite willing to meet postal charges in their currency. Members will be pleased to learn that they feel a keen interest for our country and our people, and they have dedicated the library to International Friendship. - Reprinted from THE CHAKA, Bulletin of the Rotary Club of Calcutta.
