Slaughter PRINCIPLES OF ROTARY t 1 District Governor uives inspirational Address to Local Club on raying Official Visit That Rotary could best function in these troublous times through its members endeavouring In their fellowship and community associations to foster unselfish principles of fellowship and service, building confidence and unity In nn mutual waj r - i I .. . business and social reiauuuiw, the message brought to the Prince Rupert Rotary Club last night by the district governor, Richard Dow-,v of nf Vancouver. In a dinner ad dress which marked his official visit the first he has paid to any club since he asumed the district governorship. Mr. Dowrey elucidated on the principles of Rotary as they might be effectively applied under existing conditions. As for a Rotartan's duties as a ciuzcn in his own land it -would be presumptuous for Rotary International to dictate although it was inconceivable that any Rotarian would contribute to any act which was not in compliance with principles of freedom Justice, truth, sanctity of the promised word and maintenance of individual rights. Even in subjugated countries, where Rotary as an organization might be temporarily assembled, Rotarians were still foregathering and practising as far as possible the principles of democratic citizenship. Any attempt at aggressive action in an internation al way could only serve to disturb their a.ssoclatlonr'aridvcrirJcaYtrars "Ts and. nosdhlv enri.mner their verv. persons or lives. I Having developed from the phase . of mutual self Interest to that of unselfish service. Rotary clubs,' said Mr Dowrey, had, since the Inception of the organization, car-J rled out a wide variety of valuable activities under the classifications of dub, vocational community and 1 International service. It had been shown that Rotary must have some sort of useful program if it was to carry on. Rotary International left its member clubs free to choose in what way they could best function compatible with community and local conditions. It had many suggestions to offer, however, and advice along these lines was free for the asking. 'Never was there a time when there was greater need than today tor mutual fellowship, community of Interest and confidence in our Icltowman." declared Mr. Dowtev 'ho stressed the desirability of doing worthwhile things for human- y- Even while the din of battle was still on, Rotary should be getting ready to repair the damage and to work for the prevention of such things as the world saw going on today recurring.

There are about seven hundred men employed and the majority of them are anxious to give good service and make the work a success. Recently a new manager was appointed In the person of G. A. MacMillan but the head of the railway says the new manager. planrilrigto do the 'managing from Vancouver. To most Prince Rupert people this seems to be a ridiculous situation. To control this local business from a point a thousand miles away seems to In- vite failure right from the begin- nlng. The Prince Rupert dry dock and shipyard Is a national undertak Ing In which every person in the country has an interest. To Prince Rupert Us success is vital to the progress of the port. It must succeed or we as a port suffer badly. That Is why the citizens and members of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce take such a keen interest In the management. Mr. MacMillan, evidently, is a good man. While he was in Prince Rupert he was an excellent citizen and, when we heard of his appointment, we looked for improved conditions. If he is going to be only another absentee manager, we have had enough of them already. We do not think It possible to make a success of the shipbuilding under those conditions. What Is needed Is an outstanding resident manager who will personally stake his reputation on the success of the work done here. We do not think It can be done any better from Vancouver than from Montreal. Baseball Scores American League St. Louis 0, New York 0. Chicago 2, Washington 8. (Only games.)
