dent J. W. Kunetka and Secre-
tary Jose R. De Leon, and com-
mitteemen of the club on matters
pertaining to club administra-
tion and Rotary activities, and
will have an important message
to the members of the club at
their regular meeting.
Despite the horrors of war in
more than fifty countries who be-
lieve in the democratic spirit of
freedom the Rotary Clubs still
function. In China, England, Scot-
land, and other countries where
the effects of this war have been
most seriously felt Rotarians are
still serving with the belief that
eventually human liberty will
again exist. The Rotary Club
of Sian, China, as a piece of com-
munity service, recently'raised by
subscription over $20,000 and
gave it to the Tsun Teh Girls
Middle School for the Mission to
help them tide over difficult fin-
ancial conditions. Many Rotarians
are also assisting generously with
time and money the Sian YMCA.
Much credit is given to Rot-
ary in the strengthening of friend-
ship between the North American •
and South American countries
and the work of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union. In the United States
the Rotary Clubs are not only
serving in the present war crisis
but are giving thought and at-
tention to -the problems which
will arise at the close of the war
in securing common understand-
ing and peaceful relations among
men and among nations.

so popular in past years.

EXPERT WORKMANSHIP. FAST SERVICE
To pay for these speedy and poW'
erful ships with their heavy guns
and armament we must buy War
Bonds. Citizens of a large town or
a given community, working in uni-
ty, could buy one of these ships for
the Navy if they put at least ten
percent of their income in War
Bonds every pay day.
