smoke

from

room

when
they
opened
the
door
to
the
closet,
it
burst
into
flame.
Calling
Leon

were
asleep

they
rushed
down

and
notified
the

the

was
memorable
for
three
reasons
for
the
Alaskan
delegates.
They
were
attending
a
Rotary
meeting
in,
the
closest
city.
They
had
crossed
an
International

and
the

was

Ray

of

of
the
Ketchikan

told
of
what
his
club
was
doing
to
promote
international
thinking
and
good
will.
He
said
he
had
been
with
the
friendship
that
went
to
Europe
and
that
contacts
from
that
trip
were
still
alive.
Among
Items
sent
to
Germany
and
Austria
were
CARE
parcels
and
the
English
edition
of,
the
"Rotar-

At

were

it
was
the
first
time
In
the
history
of

there
had

It
meant
a

have
him

he
said.

have
the

to
be
the
head
of
an

with

in

countries.
INTERNATIONAL
PRESIDENT
.
Mr.
Lagueux
told
the
gathering
Rotary
was
a
timely
organization'
i
that
its
guiding
principle,
service.
was
always
up-to-date.
The
ideal
of
Rotary
was
to
give
service
to
numannv
wacicfci
nu
ever
possible
and
to
give
It
freely
and
urgrudglngly.
Rotary's
bond
of
fellowship
stretched
around
the
world.
The
speaker
Bald
Rotary
was
not
a
synthetic
organization
but
a
vital
one,
born
of
a
need.
He
mentioned
the
significance
of
Its
simplicity,
how
the
Idea
of
en
gaging
In
it
for
the
purpose
or
rendering
service
rather
than
for
seeking
publicity
or
personal
gain
struck
a
chord.
It
has
a
definite
place
in
society,
he
continued,
and
how
well
it
tills
that
place
"depends
xn
you
and
me.
We
are
Rotary."
Mr.
Lagueux
said
mai
iaeau
had
to
be
acted
upon
to
be
useful
"We
must
harness
the
power
of
idealism
if
we
are
to
turn
the
wheels
of
tomorrow."
He
compared
Rotary
to
his
native,
city
of
Quebec.
He
said
there
were
really
two
cities
upper
town
and
lower
town.
Lower
town
Is
the
old
fashioned
narrow
streets
with
buildings
nearly

Upper

PURPOSES
OF

Calls

for
many
reasons.
Among
them
are
to
let
the
men
see
places
they
have
not
seen
before,
to
let
the
public
see
what
Is
being
done

to

recruiting,
to
develop
international
friendship
with
calls
to

ports
and
to
build
the
morale
of
men
in

establishments.
The
amazingly

has
made
the
present
one
of
the
more
pleasant
cruises.
Training
has
progressed
favorably.
