PARTICULARS & CONDITIONS

Mr. Wilfrid Andrews (Sitting Bourne), in his presidential ad- dress, claimed that the holding of group club executive meetings had been a cause of progress. The hope of Rotary was in good Eotarians, knowledgeable and efficient in their work. and the group movement was a big step forward. Internal management changes included the institution of a pensions plan for the head- have to deal a principle of people of all ages, and this includes with Ralph Forbes and. C. Aubrey Order of His Excellency the Gov-

quarters staff.

Was Rotary contributing very much to the world of affairs of things which it professed sa to contribute? It was easy to

assess club activities, but it was on the frontier of life that the campaign of Rotary must make itself felt.

"He doubted whether the philo. sophy of Rotary was being re tated by the fridividual member in any considerable degree to wards the problems of life. Nor did he believe that the percen- tage of "effective members" was a reasonably satisfactory percen. tage.

Leadership Wanted.

He desired leadership and sound conclusion on questions affecting everyday life. And there were from time to time national and international issues so obviously akin to their pro- fessed objects that Rotary should either give its support or make known its opposition. The dis. conference resolutions on armament and labour conditions were in line with this.
