ROTARY MEMBERS
HEAR GOVERNOR
The purpose, service and organi
zation of Rotary were discussed by,
Charles H. Stone, district gover
nor from Charlotte, in an address
to the Wilmington Rotary club at
its weekly luncheon at the Friend
ly cafeteria banquet hall yester
day.
Declaring that there are Rotary
clubs in existence in about 60 dif
ferent counties and political divi
sions, Stone went on to clarify con
cepts and refresh the memories of
the members as to the basic and
fundamental principles of Rotary.
Stone commended Wilmington
for her fine job of shipbuilding and
gave special credit to the efforts
of the men in working clothes and
in overalls. These men, by their
work, make it possible for others
to wear the uniforms, he said.
He asked that charter members
and past presidents of the club
stand and be applauded.
The district governor congratu
lated the members on coming from
a community which supported the
first daily newspaper published in
North Carolina 69 years ago.
Visitors attending the meeting
were Capt. J. W. Jenkins of the
R.O.T.C. unit at the high school,
Tracey Walker of Clinton, Harry
C. Spillman of New York, in town
to aid in the Community Chest
campaign, Theodore Foley, here
for tile same purpose, Pigeon Love
and Ben Southerland.
