This message was delivered at the
second plenary session, Tuesday
morning.
Other highlights of this session
were the talks given toy Viola ttma
of New York City and Darrel Brady
of 3Minneapolis on toe topic "What
Can Rotary 3Do for Youth?" These
young people— both under 30—discussed the problems of youth today
as they see them, and cited the pari:
that Rotary International, toe individual clubs and Rotarians, can play
in helpingi youth on toe road to a
successful life. When you receive
your complete report of toe convention be sure to read these addresses.
You will find them well worth while.
This part of the program was in
charge of our own Emmett Richards
of Alpena, who was chairman of toe-
Boys' Work-Youth Service Commit-
te of Rotary International during the
past year.
On Tuesday 'afternoon toe convene
tion met by vocations. There were
46 craft assemblies all the way from
agriculture to wood industry. The
topics for discussion were: (1) Improving Standards of Practice; (2)
What are the Responsibilities of
Management? (3) Pathways to Industrial Peace. Being able to attend but one of toese assemblies!—
that of my own craft, the oil industry—I am unajile to render a report on the others.
Wednesday forenoon was given over entirely to small group assemblies
(54 of them) devoted to the discussion of ways and means for making
the various activities of Rotary more
effective.
At toe Thursday morning plenary
session T. A. Warren of Wolverhampton, 3England, C. D. Garretson
of Wilmington, Delaware, and Norman A. 3M3c3Larty, postmaster general of Canada, delivered • interesting
addresses.
The afternoon session was devoted
entirely to business including the reports of the secretary, treasurer and
numerous committees. Also at this
time proposed enactments and resolutions, which had been presented,
were voted on.   As usual there were

four. contestants stage the "battle of

Four turtles, all hailing from

with all their might. "Sammy" Snapper, the largest of the group, weighed in at 23%  pounds  at fight time.
At toe start of toe first round
they all, came out of their comers
slowly and cautiously. Suddenly
"Sammy" took a swift jab at "Tiny"
Turtle, catching him on the lower
jaw—then the fight was on. After
3 minutes and 40 seconds toe referee atnd promoter both jumped to "and
stopped the slaughter, saying that
several rules had been broken..

Many new racquets and tennis
