“Nome’s Rotary Club, the farth
est west on the North American
continent, though only recently or
ganized, stands within the ’first
ten’ in attendance of this District,’
according to word received from
District Governor Roy Fletcher of
Centralia, Washington. Rotary re
Roy J. Fletcher
quires regular attendance from its
members, not as a fad or the idea
of some enthusiasts, but based on
a quarter century of sound experi
ence. It is the first service a mem
ber gives in Rotary—his personal
presence at the meetings of his
club.
The worth of a Rotary Club is
measured by the degree in which
each individual member puts the
Ideal of Service into everyday
practice, in his business and his
community life. The Rotary Ideal
is not merely subjective. It must
be translated into objective activ
ity and the Rotarian must put the
theory of service into practice.
Memberships. A Rotary Club is
organized on the unique plan of
admitting to membership one ac
tive and representative from from
each worthy and recognized line
of business and profession in the
community. This therefore, im
poses upon each member the honor
as well as the duty of representing
Rotary (that is, carrying out the.
Ideal of Service) in his business,
profession or craft. Such restrict
ed membership avoids unwieldy
clubs, inactive members and the
danger of domination by any one
vocational or professional group.
Within the club, fellowship is
developed on the basis of diversity
of interests rather than similarity.
Rotary club does not supplant
or interfere with any other organ
ization. It is strictly a Service Club
of which there are now more than
5,000 clubs throughout the world
comprising men of all faiths,
creeds and color. Rotary does not
concern itself with a Rotarian’s re
ligion or his politics. A Rotarian is
expected to be faithful to his re
ligion and loyal in his citizenship.
Rotary believes there is nothing
in loyalty to one’s country incom
patible with the development of
friendship with men of other
lands.
Nome’s Rotary Club, sponsored
by the active Rotary Club of Fair
banks and under the supervision
of District Governor Roy Fletcher,
is fast becoming an integral part
of this community. It is hoped
that during 1947 it will be the
pleasure and privilege of this club
to present to Nome able speakers
and prominent people from vari
ous walks of life.

; Football Cause Of
21 Fatalities
NEW YORK. (/P)—Football was
held directly responsible for 21
fatalities, two of which occurred
in college ranks during the past
campaign, according to the 15th
annual survey presented today by
Dr. Floyd R. Eastwood of Purdue
university before the American
Football Coaches association and
the football rules committee of
the NCAA. *
Dr. Eastwood’s recommenda
tion for further safeguarding play
ers by appointing a committee to
study the design of headgears co
incided with one of the five rule
changes asked yesterday by the
coaches themselves.
The coaches had recommended
that wearing apparel of players
should be softened wherever pos
sible, pointing out that many in
juries had resulted from hard el
bow pads, forearm pads and knee
braces.
Subject to approval by the
NCAA rules committee and the
i national rules committee which
meets at Kerville, Texas, later
this month, the 1947 code would
provide that the ball be declared
dead on a blocked try for extra
point.
